Jiao Luan

Chapter 405 Action
Cheng Wei never expected that Cheng Che would beat her.

That slap fell, although it was not heavy, it made a crisp sound, which made both of them startled.

Afterwards, Cheng Wei got up on hands and feet, clutching his buttocks and exasperated: "Second brother, why are you beating me up!"

After calming down, Cheng Che also began to feel embarrassed, but with a serious expression on his face, he said coldly: "If I don't hit you, I won't have a long memory! Can a girl take off a man's clothes casually?"

Cheng Wei was very wronged: "But in my heart, what kind of men are they? The little eunuch doesn't talk about it, he just talks about the prince. If you behave like this, it's not as good as the fat fish I raised! No, it's Senior Brother Beiming. The two tortoises that were given to me are also better than him."

The corners of Cheng Che's mouth couldn't help but twitched, and most of his anger subsided: "You really think so?"

Cheng Wei turned his head away in anger, and snorted coldly.

She was so naughty when she was a child, and her second brother never beat her.It can be seen that this man, once you know that you care about him, you won't cherish him anymore.Maybe after marrying him, they will be beaten three times a day!
Cheng Che stared at Cheng Wei's swollen side face, amused and helpless, pulled her over and said, "Okay, are you still going to be reasonable? Anyway, don't do this in the future. Does it hurt?"

Then Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows to look at him, bit his lips and said, "It hurts..."

She suddenly felt bad, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, do you want to rub it for me?"

The second young master Cheng's face turned red immediately, he pushed Cheng Wei away, even moved back vigilantly, and said with a straight face: "It doesn't seem to hurt enough!"

Cheng Wei succeeds in molesting, this is the way to go.

Cheng Che asked her again: "Does Wei Wei know what to do with the emperor after he passes by?"

Cheng Wei shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, I was summoned by the Queen Mother not long after I returned to Taiqing Pool."

"Queen Mother?" Cheng Che narrowed his eyes, only to feel that Cheng Wei gave him more and more surprises every time.

He entered the court as an official, without the support of his family, and without the support of his parents. A rootless person, relying on caution and carefulness, naturally collected as much information as possible from the royal family to the civil and military officials.

He is very clear about the fact that the Queen Mother hardly sees outsiders.

Cheng Wei then talked about the Empress Dowager going to Xuanqing Temple to offer incense, and at the end approached Cheng Che with a very low voice: "Second Brother must never have imagined that the Empress Dowager took the Empress with her that day."

Cheng Che was even more surprised: "Empress? So, the Empress Dowager brought the Empress to the doctor?"

Cheng Wei nodded: "Second brother is right."

"The national teacher agreed?"

"Master refused, saying that the queen's illness is a heart disease, which cannot be cured by medicine or stone."

Cheng Che's face was condensed, and he glanced out of the window through the dark blue skein curtain.

People were coming and going on the street, and the bustle and noise covered up the movement in the carriage. No one knew what amazing things the two brothers and sisters in the carriage were talking about.

The sun was just right, but Cheng Che's heart was covered with a corner of haze, and he asked Cheng Wei with a serious face: "Then, why did the Queen Mother call you over? Could it be that the day the Queen Mother gave incense, was there something about you that caught the attention of the Queen Mother?

He paused, and before Cheng Wei could speak, he continued to ask: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager thinks that you might be able to cure the Empress' illness?"

Cheng Wei was very surprised: "Second brother, you guessed right."

Cheng Che was silent for a long time, then put his hand on Cheng Wei's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Wei Wei, listen to the second brother, don't meddle in the affairs of the palace."

"But--"

"No but, unless...the one who will sit in that seat in the future is not the crown prince."

Cheng Wei couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Cheng Che patted her and said: "You don't know what happened many years ago. It is said that Concubine Hua Gui was not so favored as soon as she entered the palace. At the earliest time, she had a good relationship with the queen, and the emperor was in harmony with the queen at that time." , but she was indifferent to the other concubines. Later, something happened, the queen fell out of favor and was imprisoned, and Concubine Hua came out."

Cheng Wei listened carefully, and unconsciously asked, "What happened next?"

Cheng Che then smiled: "That's how it is now. Wei Wei, think about it carefully, who is the last person in the palace who doesn't want to see the queen sober?"

"Concubine Hua, and the prince." Cheng Wei murmured.

Cheng Che nodded: "That's right. So if you cured the Empress, once Concubine Hua Gui and the Crown Prince know about it, how can you be let off when the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future? Even the Duke's Mansion will be implicated."

After a long silence, Cheng Wei lowered his head: "Second brother, I understand."

Only then did Cheng Che feel relieved, patted her on the shoulder and said, "But there is one thing you can rest assured about. After the emperor's passing, Concubine Hua Gui and the Crown Prince will not be able to blatantly attack you."

Cheng Che's expectations were right. Not long after Cheng Wei returned to Xuanqing Temple, he received a token from Zhu Hongxi, the eunuch sent by the emperor. He can enter and leave the palace freely in the future, and even got the prince's infatuated determination to guard the princess for a year. , let's not choose the news of the crown princess for the time being.

As soon as the news came out, some people were happy and others were worried, but Cheng Tong was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he pulled Aunt Dong's sleeve and asked, "Mother, didn't you say you won't choose the princess, why do I still have to enter the palace? "

Aunt Dong looked regretful: "This is also unexpected. If you don't choose the crown princess, the little emperor will find a proper person to take care of him, and the imperial concubine will think of you. Don't be sad, Tong'er, you will be Liangdi's as soon as you enter the palace." Identity, the grade of the third grade."

"A third grade?" Cheng Tong murmured, looking straight at Aunt Dong, "Isn't the third grade concubine Liangdi also a concubine?"

Why did the imperial concubine think of her? It was clearly yesterday's grandmother's trip to the palace that prevented her from avoiding this disaster in the end!

The word "concubine" hurt Aunt Dong very much. Her complexion changed slightly, and she paused for a while before she said in relief: "You child, don't be confused. Can the crown prince's concubine be the same as an ordinary concubine? You are so good at taking care of the little emperor's grandson." , if you have your own son in the future, maybe there will be some good luck."

There is a saying that Aunt Dong didn't dare to say. After all, the imperial concubine is still the emperor's concubine, but now which woman should not bow down when she sees her?
Cheng Tong was disheartened and didn't want to say a word to Aunt Dong.

The boy who had only been engraved in her heart for a short time but became more and more profound, gradually blurred his face, and she knew that she could never think about it again.

At the end of May, Cheng Tong entered the Crown Prince's East Palace and was granted the title of Third Grade Liangdi.

When Cheng Wei heard the news, he was stunned for a while, and finally sighed.

At the beginning of June, Emperor Changqing took his concubines, ministers and others to Qingliang Mountain to escape the summer heat, and Cheng Che was among them as the teacher who lectured to the sixth prince.

Cheng Wei has been staying quietly in the Xuanqing Temple, and when Beijing suddenly calmed down, she found out the token bestowed by the emperor, and prepared to go to the East Palace to meet Cheng Tong.

Although the second brother told her not to get involved in the affairs of the palace, but the eldest sister Cheng Ya had been gone for almost half a year, and if she didn't use the soul-calling technique, the best time would have passed.
