Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

But she put the cart before the horse, instead of coaxing the emperor to be happy, she snubbed the emperor over and over again. How can there be such a reason? !

Fang Yuanzhi was scolded by the Empress Dowager Zhou, but still went her own way.

The Empress Dowager Zhou felt that she might be detained in Qingning Palace, which would not be conducive to their meeting, so she arranged her accommodation in Anxi Palace.

Zhu Jianshen visited twice late at night, but left soon after.

He was busy with political affairs, and dealt with the fourth-class Northwest traitors with harsh methods—260 eight people were executed Ling Chi, and the remaining 91 people were beheaded.

This is the most ruthless method he has implemented since he came to power.

The courtiers were terrified.Such a large-scale Lingchi torture shows how irritable the emperor, who has always been gentle, is now!
Empress Dowager Zhou had no choice but to order someone to punish Long Run, who delivered the news for Fang Yuanzhi.Only when she cut off her back, would she firmly hug the emperor's thigh.

The matter of Long Run, the left supervisor of the imperial supervisor, who married Nanhe Bofangying's concubine Xu was reported.

The emperor raised it high, but put it down gently.He said that in the past, emperors used internal officials to serve the inner court, and because of their unique ways, they had no external covetousness.Today, Long Run is married to He Weiren, and he is asked to divorce immediately, and Long Run will be sent to the Supervisor of Rites for punishment.

The supervisor of ceremonies is now in power is the eunuch Huai En.

Huai En has received Fang Yuanzhi's favor, so he naturally wants to punish him lightly.

But a person he didn't expect jumped out——

Li Yongchang, the eunuch and supervisor of ceremonies.

Li Yongchang was the most powerful confidant during the Empress Dowager Sun's time, and now he is also the most powerful support of the Hou Sun family of Huichang in the Supervisor of Rites.

Compared with Li Yongchang, Huai En has less seniority and lower seniority. When he sees Li Yongchang, he should respectfully salute him.

"Master, what's your opinion on Long Run's handling?"

Li Yongchang is already nearly 70 years old, but his aura is still strong: "The Queen Mother means that Long Run should be severely punished, Mr. Huai En, don't forget the fundamentals!"

Wynn was in a dilemma.The emperor had confessed to him in private that he wanted to be lenient with Long Run.

Wynn looked at Huang Ci who was on the side.

Huang Ci's eyelids twitched.This matter is actually a touchstone to test the loyalty to the emperor.

There are eight eunuchs in charge of etiquette, palm print eunuchs, Bingbi eunuchs, and accompanying hall eunuchs.Huang Ci was not valued by the emperor before.

Huang Ci said with a smile: "Eunuch Li, your adopted son is the young master of Zhan Shifu and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. The first emperor and the emperor never said a word. Now Long Run is only married, and the emperor ordered him to divorce. Why do you catch him so fast?" Not to let go? The maidservant thinks that a fine of three months' salary is enough to set an example."

Li Yongchang glared and snorted coldly, but didn't speak again.

The key task at the moment is to get the adopted son Li Tai into the cabinet as soon as possible, and it is not appropriate to have more side issues at this time.The eunuchs in the palace often married wives and adopted children abroad. If they were severely punished, they would probably offend a large number of people.

Seeing that Li Yongchang didn't speak again, Huai En nodded and said, "Since Eunuch Li has no objection, then deal with it like this."

Although Long Run had escaped, he did not dare to blatantly help Fang Yuanzhi deliver the news.

However, Fang Yuanzhi has developed two other messaging channels.

The Wan'an family, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, finally became relatives with the Wan Guifei's family through Fang Yuanzhi's great-grandmother Wan's family.For this reason, Wan An's wife, Hu Shi, was often summoned into the palace by Concubine Wan Gui.

The Hu family is also often entrusted by the Fang family to send some news to Fang Yuanzhi.

In addition, Sun Lian, the descendant of Huichang Marquis, has also invested in the pharmaceutical workshop after all, and some information about the pharmaceutical workshop can be brought out through him who often goes to the palace to be on duty, which is more convenient and effective than through Long Run.

Fang Yuanzhi secretly complained to the Queen Mother Zhou: It's none of my business if your son doesn't go to sleep with the concubine in the harem, and I can't go to sleep instead of him!

Fast forward to late April.

Concubine Bai Xian lived up to expectations and gave birth to the second son of the emperor.

The Ministry of Rites announced this matter to the world, and the emperor said that the prince is still young, so it is not appropriate to make a big noise.

When the Empress Dowager Zhou in Qingning Palace heard the news, she recited Amitabha, and then frowned again.

Concubine Wan Gui of Zhaode Palace heard the news, took out the clothes of the eldest son of the emperor, hugged her and cried.

When Peng Shi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Shang Ren, the elder of the cabinet, heard the news, they frowned and looked at each other.

……

When Sun Jizong, Marquis of Huichang, heard the news, he beamed, stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "God help me too. Zan'er, hurry up and hand over the paperwork for Li Tai's admission to the cabinet."

Sun Zan couldn't hide his joy from the side and said, "Yes, father, let someone hand over the son today! Now the Beiren faction has no leader, and many people have fallen to our Sun family. The power in the court has not been weakened much."

Marquis Huichang nodded with a smile: "The new Minister of Officials, Cui Gong, has some kind of friendship with this old man. You take my greeting card and go to their residence a few more times."

……

Fang Yuanzhi knew the news because Zhu Jianshen personally told her.

Zhu Jianshen's face was calm, his phoenix eyes were deep, and there was a hint of helplessness: "Yuan Zhi, the prince is born, and the palace is no longer safe. I will send you out of the palace today."

Fang Yuanzhi smiled faintly, his eyes swept over Zhu Jianshen, and then at the colored paintings of dragons and phoenixes and seals in the house, as well as the four bowls of water chestnut fans, and a moment of reluctance flashed in his heart.

Although the Anxi Palace was dilapidated, it was only in disrepair for a long time, and its original foundation was quite good.

She's never called it home.

But when she knew that this was the last meeting with him, she still couldn't help being sad.

She can walk out of the palace and live a wonderful life.

But what about him?Still struggling, fighting, surviving here.

She forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, if you go to Jiangnan again, don't forget to go to Yangzhou to appreciate the skinny horse."

Zhu Jian smiled deeply: "Okay. When the time comes, you come and make arrangements for me."

Last time, she was ordered to arrange a thin horse, but it has not been implemented until today.

Fang Yuanzhi had a lot of medical books to pack and carry this time, and he was busy until it was almost dark in the afternoon before packing them properly.

Zhu Jianshen had watched her tidy up slowly, but was called away by the elder Ge who asked to see her.

Fang Yuanzhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She really didn't like saying goodbye in person.

The little maid from Jingqi Pavilion next door came to see him off, her eyes were red.

"Sister Yuan Zhi, can you pass this burden on to my mother?"

Fang Yuanzhi naturally agreed.

The little maid named Li Shumei has been in the palace for several years.There is only one mother who is not in good health outside the palace. She has not improved after taking medicine and seeing a doctor for many years.

Earlier, Li Shumei timidly talked about her symptoms, and asked Fang Yuanzhi to prescribe a prescription to treat her mother: "I heard that you are a miracle doctor. Shumei begs my sister to show mercy and save my mother's life."

After listening to the symptoms she described, Fang Yuanzhi knew roughly what the disease was, but he had not personally diagnosed and verified it, and he did not dare to jump to conclusions, so he asked Li Shumei for the address, and asked the doctor in charge of Jimin Medical Hall to come to the door for a diagnosis and treatment. .

Because of the poverty of his family, the consultation fee is waived, and the medical expenses are also charged at [-]% of the price.

However, Li Shumei's mother's condition has improved greatly, and she sent a letter to reassure her.

Fang Yuanzhi's book box was carried by the servants to the carriage outside the Shenwu Gate.

Evening was heavy, Fang Yuanzhi had no choice but to leave.

Li Shumei sent her outside the Shenwu Gate and watched Fang Yuanzhi get into the carriage enviously.How she wanted to leave the palace and reunite with her mother!

Fang Yuanzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked at the majestic palace gate for the last time.

To say she has no regrets, to say she has no regrets, is a lie.

She regretted the past half a year, pretending to be reserved, pretending to be noble, and missing a lot of time with that person.

Can she really feel at ease after leaving this time? (end of this chapter)
