The Queen's funeral was conducted according to the rules. Appeared when it was time to appear. After a funeral, Wen Wan was very tired.
Wen Wan felt uncomfortable. Seeing Bai Shi Nian lively, she muttered, "It's the same thing, why is there such a big difference?" Her husband didn't seem to feel any discomfort, but she felt like her whole body was falling apart.
Bai Shinian knew what Wen Wan was thinking, and he really couldn't laugh or cry at the moment. He walked over and rubbed Wen Wan's shoulders: "If you had practiced martial arts well back then, you would definitely be in better shape than me."
Wen Wan curled her lips: "Practice martial arts, I'm exhausted." After saying that, she realized that Mingjin's fear of hardship and fatigue was probably directed towards her. I quickly stopped the topic.
Seeing Wen Wan, Xia Yao complained bitterly. She immediately said that because of the Queen's funeral, several elderly wives in the capital fell ill.
Wen Wan doesn¡¯t worry about the fate of his wife or anything. But Wen Wan heard that the Crown Princess fell ill again: "What? She's so sick and she still comes out?" The imperial doctor said she needed to rest and recuperate, so why did she come out and cause trouble! This is too long a life.
Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan: "The prince has also come out. He is also ill." As a son and daughter-in-law, unless they are sick and will die soon, they must die.
Wen Wan shook his head, that was so unkind. But this was not something she could ignore. The rules and regulations are like this, and everyone must abide by them.
Wen Wan is busy, preparing to finish things as soon as possible so that she can take a holiday. I heard Xia Yao walk in and say, "Princess, Lingcheng is injured"
Wen Wan¡¯s hand lost its balance and fell to the ground. The sapphire writing brush fell into pieces. How could the child get hurt when he is fine! The guards around me are all working hard.
Before Xia Yao could say anything, Wen Wan had already left the study. Xia Yao quickly followed, calling for a carriage as she walked. Wen Wan hurriedly called to the East Palace.
After sitting in the carriage, Wen Wan had time to ask Xia Yao: "How did Ling Chang get injured? Okay, there are so many guards around him, how could he get hurt?" Wen Wan calmed down after saying that. No, even if all the guards in the East Palace were losers, the two guards she gave them were both top-notch masters. How could Lingchen get hurt?
Xia Yao looked very strange: "It's Mrs. Liu from the East Palace"
Wen Wan listened for a while but didn't understand: "What Mrs. Liu? Whose?" Wen Wan had no idea who Mrs. Liu was.
Xia Yao glanced at Wen Wan and whispered, "Mrs. Liu belongs to the Crown Princess." Seeing Wen Wan's eyes widening, Xia Yao whispered, "Mrs. Liu hurt Lingcheng to avenge the Crown Princess. Said the Crown Princess. The concubine killed his son. Well, she gave birth to the second prince, the second prince of the East Palace, Ling Chang¡¯s second brother.
Wen Wan said angrily: "Who is behind this?" Sooner or later something will go wrong now, and it's not targeting Ling Yuan, but directly targeting Ling Chang. This is obviously a conspiracy.
????
After hearing this, Wen Wan glared at Xia Yao angrily: "Since you weren't hurt, why didn't you explain it clearly just now?" She almost frightened her heart out just now.
Xia Yao couldn't help but laugh: "Princess, you ran out before I finished speaking. Can you blame me? Princess, Ling Chang was not injured, he was just too frightened and has not recovered yet. Woolen cloth!"
Wen Wan looks at Xia Yao like a monster. If she says she is injured, Wen Wan will still believe her. But if he was too frightened because of the assassination, he has not recovered now. Who are you lying to? Ling Chang was not someone who had never seen the scene before. How could he be frightened as soon as he was assassinated?
Xia Yao said innocently: "This is the news from the East Palace. I don't know what happened. In addition, the news from the East Palace also said that Ling Chang was seriously injured."
Wen Wan stopped sneering and said: "I don't know who released this bad news." This kind of trick is too childish. Of course, no matter who leaked the news, it would be fine as long as it was not Ling Chang himself.
Xia Yao smiled and said, "It's Ling Yuan. The news released by Ling Yuan said that Ling Chang was frightened and fainted due to excessive fright." Ling Yuan's actions helped Ling Chang develop a reputation as a timid person. Lingyuan's purpose was not revealed, but he helped Lingcheng. Ling Chang is so young now, so it may not be a bad thing to have a reputation of being timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
Xia Yao believed what Wen Wan said. Now Ling Chang must learn to protect herself and grow up in constant battles. Only in this way can the emperor's approval and love be achieved. Ling Chang is too young now, and gathering influence too early will only bore the emperor. As Wen Wan said, the emperor does not allow anyone to covet the chair under his butt.
Wen Wan arrived at the East Palace and went directly to Ling Chang's other courtyard. Looks a little pale?Ling Chang, I feel heartbroken right now. Xia Yao said that Ling Chang was not injured, but Wen Wan still asked uneasily, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Lingcheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt, I'm fine. I just sprained my foot. The doctor said it will be fine in two days." It was just some skin injuries, nothing to worry about.
Wen Wan called the imperial doctor over and was relieved when the imperial doctor said that it was indeed a sprained foot and there were no other problems. Then he became worried again. The East Palace was now in chaos both inside and outside. This time he encouraged Mrs. Liu to assassinate him. Next time he encouraged someone to poison him. Nothing happened this time, but next time! I don¡¯t know what will happen next time. Wen Wan now feels that the East Palace is in real crisis. Ling Chang being here is like being roasted on the stove!
After Wen Wan thought for a moment, she asked everyone in the room to go out. Then he said: "Ling Chang, otherwise, I wouldn't live in the East Palace."
Lingcheng looked at Wenwan with joy: "Auntie" Lingcheng thought Wenwan wanted him to join the princess's mansion. Lingcheng really wanted to return to the princess' mansion. In the princess's mansion, he didn't worry about being murdered at all. Just study with peace of mind.
Wen Wan touched Ling Chang and said, "Auntie means that the East Palace is in such a mess now. It's better to live in the palace. It's safer this way." Anyway, Yongning Palace is empty. It would be good to let Ling Chang live in it.
When Lingcheng heard Wen Wan's intention of letting him live in Yongning Palace, he was stunned: "Aunt, that's your palace" Ever since the late emperor asked Wen Wan to move into Yongning Palace, Yongning Palace has been Wen Wan's exclusive residence. palace. Even if Wenwan gets married, the emperor still retains her.
Wen Wan smiled softly: "You silly boy. What is yours and mine, but my aunt has to tell your grandpa first, and your grandpa agrees."
Lingcheng was just surprised, but now she suddenly woke up. His eyes were red: "Auntie" Auntie was paving the way for her, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. Facing his aunt, he often didn't know what to say.
She smiled softly and said: "Silly boy, although aunt is a bit partial and doesn't love you as much as Mingrui and Mingjin, she has always been strict with you. However, aunt will do everything she can for you. The rest is up to you. You're on your own." Yongning Palace is so close to Yanghe Palace. As long as Ling Chang seizes the opportunity, it will be relatively easy to get the emperor's love. As long as you have the emperor's love, your future will be smooth.
Ling Chang nodded. No matter how grateful and touched I am, I can only keep it in my heart. He had to take this path, he had no choice. Otherwise, you will be suppressed for the rest of your life and will never be able to stand out.
Wen Wan was very pleased to see Ling Chang wake up so quickly: "Ling Chang, you must stick to your aunt's words and never play tricks in front of your grandpa. Otherwise, you will never have a chance again. Remember this. "People who are emperors, especially the emperor's uncle, have the piercing eyes of Sun Wukong. Thinking back to the little tricks she played under the eyes of the emperor's grandfather, the emperor's grandfather knew all about it, but he just thought it was harmless and let her go. But now the emperor's uncle is different. Compared with the emperor's grandfather, the emperor's uncle is more suspicious and narrow-minded. Therefore, this beard must not be touched. Because if you touch it, no one knows what unimaginable consequences will happen. Without the Sacred Heart, there is no point in arguing.
Ling Chang nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, aunt, I will keep it in mind." This is not the first time Wen Wan has said this, she has reminded him many times before. Ling Chang can already recite it.
Wen Wan nodded, chatted with Ling Chang and then went out. After going out, he first went to visit the prince. When the prince saw Wen Wan's eager look, Wen Wan secretly sighed in her heart. Wen Wan still didn't stop at this time. Wen Wan really didn't know what to say.
Of course, this actually cannot be blamed on the prince. If the crown prince's position as heir apparent is abolished, their family will really have to be raised up. If the emperor dies before him, he will become a thorn in the side of the new emperor. The whole family is not insured. Wenwan is a bystander, that's why she can speak so easily. But as a person involved, who can feel relieved when it is a matter of life and death.
Wen Wan said a few words to the prince and then went to see the prince again.
When the Crown Princess saw Wen Wan, she kept saying thank you to Wen Wan for coming to see Ling Chang. Xia Yao and Xia Ying wanted to roll their eyes behind their backs.
Wenwan doesn¡¯t care about this, but lets her take good care of her body. Wen Wan didn¡¯t want to say any more words. After all, it was Hai Ruyu who was too cruel. In the East Palace, there are only two children left, Ling Chang and Ling Yuan, both of whom were born to her. Although not all people were poisoned by Hai Ruyu, the result still frightened Wen Wandian.
This assassination came very suddenly. Ling Chang was able to narrowly avoid it. Firstly, he attributed it to Ling Chang's martial arts training and his quick reactions. Secondly, the guards around him were also extremely sharp. Otherwise, it is really possible for this woman to sneak attackSuccess. And the root of all this lies in Hai Ruyu. They say tit for tat, what is owed must be repaid.
Seeing that Wen Wan was about to leave after saying a few words, Hai Ruyu finally couldn't stand it any longer. She took Wen Wan's hand and said, "Wen Wan, considering that we have known each other for so many years. I beg you, help me." Please protect Ling Yuan and Sister Tong, please, Wen Wan, I beg you."
Hai Ruyu¡¯s internal organs were filled with toxins. The imperial doctor said that she could still survive for three to five years after resting, but the queen was gone and she was tortured for a long time. This time I was so frightened again that the imperial doctor said that the poison had attacked my heart. I'm afraid my life is long gone.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t show any mercy this time, she just said calmly: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ling Cheng is my student, I will protect him well.¡± As for Ling Yuan and Tong Yatou, it all depends on their own destiny. She doesn't have much energy to be a nanny for others.
Hai Ruyu wanted to say something more, but Xia Yao came over, opened Hai Ruyu's hand, and said coldly: "You should cherish your blessings. You have calculated so much against the princess over the years, thinking that we really don't know. It's just that the princess sees it. As for the past love, let¡¯s not talk about it. The so-called love has been squandered by you a long time ago, so please cherish it.¡±
Wenwan glanced at Hai Ruyu and walked out. She really didn't want to say anything. Because there's really nothing else that needs to be said.
Hai Ruyumu stared at Wen Wan as she left the palace. Suddenly smiled bitterly. After all, we have come to this step. Unexpectedly, we have come to this step under such circumstances.
Aunt Rong came over, wiped her tears and said, "Crown Princess, you must take care of yourself!" The imperial doctor said that the Crown Princess's lifespan is not long, and it may be during this time. She was also worried. After being with the Crown Princess for such a long time, our love has become deeper.
Hai Ruyu looked at Aunt Rong and murmured: "Auntie, do you think I did something wrong? Am I really wrong?"
Aunt Rong did not say that Hai Ruyu did anything wrong, but she just cried and said: "The Crown Princess did not do anything wrong. The only thing wrong is this position. The only thing wrong is that these people are too cruel. They actually plotted against the Crown Princess like this." In addition to treating the Guo family, the Crown Princess The child of the other concubines was pregnant, but the Crown Princess did not take any action. Almost all of these people were murdered by the Guo family. The Liu family's children were not the work of the Crown Princess. It's a pity that now it's all on the crown prince's head.
¡°In fact, we can¡¯t blame others for blaming these consequences on Hai Ruyu. Something like this happened in the backyard of the East Palace. As the mistress of the East Palace, Hai Ruyu was the first to bear the responsibility. Not to mention, the two surviving children were both born to her. Can it not make people discuss it! Therefore, although Guo died, it still had a bad influence on the Crown Princess that could not be eliminated.
Wenwan left the East Palace and went directly to the Imperial Palace. She told the emperor her plan. I hope the emperor will agree to let Ling Chang move into Yongning Palace.
The emperor smiled after hearing this: "You think I don't know what the idea is. I'm afraid it's not the idea I just had, but I have had this idea for a long time!" Ling Chang was assassinated and is now lying on the hospital bed. The emperor knows it very well. What's going on. Of course, if Ling Chang was so useless, the emperor would not waste any more time.
Wen Wan muttered: "Uncle Emperor, you have become a great fortune teller now. You will know what I have in mind as soon as I tell you. There is no secret at all." At that time, she asked Ling Chang to go to the study room to study and just hugged her. This thought. It's just that the queen happened to pass away at that time, so he didn't want to mention it. Now that the assassination happened, Wen Wan took the opportunity to make this request.
The emperor did not object: "What is so good about Ling Chang that he deserves your calculations for him?" Her gentle temperament has always been like this, and she just ignores matters that have nothing to do with others. If the relationship is a bit roundabout, he will ask questions and help if he can. Wenwan is always happy to do things that are easy to do. Of course, anything that goes too far depends on the circumstances. If the relationship is strong, she will go out of her way to help. For example, Luo Shouxun. Even the matter of colluding with the rebels was helped to sell it. Now that Lingcheng made Wenwan put so much effort into it, the emperor wanted to know Wenwan's true inner thoughts.
It¡¯s naturally impossible for Wen Wan to say that I care for Ling Chang like a son. This is something I must not say: "Lingcheng has Lingcheng's advantages. The emperor's uncle may not know that Lingcheng has many advantages that Mingrui and Mingjin cannot compare with."
The emperor became interested: "Oh, what aspects."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ¡°Uncle Emperor will know it when he gets familiar with Ling Chang in the future.¡± It would be boring to let him say it. The emperor must slowly discover it himself.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan with a half-smile. This girl is showing off again.
Wen Wan didn't care about the emperor's expression, but talked about another matter with a sullen face: "Some time ago, I told Bai Shinian that Xia Ying and Xia Xian were hiding things from me. I was severely criticized by Bai Shinian. Then Bai Shinian Said very happilyAlthough ??Jin has many minor faults, she has never learned from me that I am soft-hearted, do not distinguish between good and bad, and am nepotistic. Therefore, Bai Shinian is no longer so worried about Mingjin's minor problems. "What Wen Wan said to the emperor was to tell him that if Ling Chang learns her faults from his side, she will be useless. Think about it, an emperor can even let go of his subordinates who deceived him. There is something else that cannot be let go. This country is probably not far from being destroyed.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan after hearing this. He immediately fell into deep thought. The emperor knew everything about Wen Wan. Wen Wan was merciful and treated his subordinates as relatives. Even if he came to power one after another, Wen Wan was still soft-hearted and let him go in the end. To put it mildly, this is not a big problem. Because he is keeping control of it. But if Lingcheng also learned these mistakes, then it would be useless if he asked Wenwan to teach Lingcheng in the first place. He wanted a qualified heir. It is not for Wen Wan to cultivate heirs.
As soon as Wen Wan saw the emperor's expression, she knew that the emperor was relaxed: "Uncle Emperor, although I was the one who proposed that Lingying go to the study to study with the great scholar. In fact, I just wanted Lingying to stay in the palace and spend more time with Uncle Emperor. Contact. If he learns the emperor's uncle's decisiveness in killing and martial arts, he will be able to use him for the rest of his life. "This is not a flattery. The emperor is indeed a rare wise king.
Although Wen Wan believes that the older the emperor, the more suspicious he becomes, but it is undeniable that the emperor is really a good emperor who loves his people like his own son. Under the emperor's governance, even if the treasury was emptied in this war, the national power of the Qi Dynasty was still very strong. If Ling Chang learns the emperor's uncle's skills and has her previous teachings, he won't have to worry about it in the future.
The emperor came back from his thoughts and saw Wen Wan looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Is this appearance necessary? Mingjin learned this from you. It really led Mingjin to bad things." Not only did he look similar, but he also learned 90% of his temperament. Bai Shinian was right, Mingjin had learned all about Wen Wan's shortcomings.
Wen Wan's eyes lit up: "Uncle Emperor, have you agreed?" The emperor agreed, and other things would be easier to handle.
The emperor nodded: "Yongning Palace is your palace. If you want to let him live, then let him live there." With the tacit approval of the two emperors, Yongning Palace was gentle. Since Wen Wan was willing to let Ling Chang stay, the emperor naturally had no objection. Of course, the main reason was that the emperor also wanted to know what was so special about Ling Chang that made Wen Wan love and value this child so much. The emperor's curiosity was also aroused by Wen Wan.
Lingchen was not surprised to receive this news. The prince was very happy, but he did not expect that his son would be a blessing in disguise. Hai Ruyu sighed heavily.
When Qi Mu got the news, his expression was very gloomy: "Who is behind the scenes?" Since Wen Wan is Ling Chang's teacher, he has already been labeled. Helping Lingcheng is a normal thing. He also had a headache, but he didn't dare to act rashly. Based on his understanding of Wen Wan, it was impossible for Wen Wan to support Ling Chang in a big way. But now, someone immediately broke this balance. Let Ling Chang live in the palace, especially Yongning Palace. As time goes by, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren becomes deeper. By then, the consequences will be disastrous.
The people below whispered: "It's the imperial concubine who is adding fuel to the fire." The Qi family has been kidnapped, and the concubine Qi Huang has been relegated to the cold palace. The queen is gone too, and Concubine Wen has the highest status in the harem. I heard that Concubine Wen has a son, who is thirteen years old this year.
Qi Mu was not angry after hearing this, but smiled: "I didn't expect that it was a woman from the harem who was the pusher, so let him live in it." There are endless tricks played by women in the harem. I don¡¯t know if the child Ling Chang can bear it.
Ling Chang moved into Yongning Palace, which greatly surprised Hei Shilin: "The princess's cards are really hard to guess."
Kang Lao, the staff beside him, laughed and said: "No one could predict how the princess will play her cards. But this is really the best news for His Highness Lingcheng." Everyone knows that if you want to sit on the throne of the crown prince, you must It must be approved by the emperor. Now Lingcheng lives in Yongning Palace, which is less than a quarter of an hour away from Yanghe Hall, which provides great convenience to Lingcheng. As long as Ling Chang is favored by the emperor, the so-called disadvantage will no longer exist.
Hei Shilin nodded, but suddenly became worried again: "The palace is full of ghosts and ghosts, and this child will be in great danger if he enters the palace!" Lingcheng was a student trained by Wen Wan, so Hei Shilin should have been relieved. But since ancient times, the harem's methods are only imaginable, and there is nothing they can't do.
Kang Lao shook his head: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. This kind of opportunity is rare. And His Highness Lingyang needs this opportunity." The road was paved for him by Princess Wenwan. If Ling Chang goes against the path that Princess Wen Wan has paved for him, it will be tantamount to giving up. The prince's legitimate son gave up the opportunity to continue fighting under favorable circumstances, and he will be a useless person in the future.
?Hai Shilin remained silent.
Kang Lao comforted: "The princess also entered the palace at the age of eleven to accompany the late emperor. With the princess here, Ling Chang will do a good job." Back then, the princess relied on one person's ability and courage to give King Zheng the capital. A showdown with King Zhao. It even allowed King Zheng to obtain the throne and become emperor. Now that Ling Chang has Wen Wan's help, the situation is much better than before.
"Hai Shilin smiled bitterly: "If Ling Chang is half as wise as Wen Wan, I have nothing to worry about." The problem is, although he knows that Ling Chang is good, he doesn't know what he is like. I believe that no one except Wen Wan has any confidence.
After two months of hard work, Wen Wan finally finished calculating the accounts of the commercial bank and the bank. Dividends are more than one-third lower than last year.
It¡¯s much worse than the emperor expected, so there¡¯s nothing we can do about it. As soon as the account was cleared here, the emperor took out the money over there. The emperor was now worried about money. It¡¯s back to the time when I first ascended the throne. Therefore, it is difficult for the emperor to do things without money!
Wen Wan just breathed a sigh of relief when news came that Hai Ruyu had passed away. Wen Wan was stunned for a moment. Xia Yao told Wen Wan about Hai Ruyu's situation. I'm afraid I won't survive this month. I didn't expect to leave so quickly.
Wen Wan did not go to the East Palace immediately, but said to Xia Yao: "Three of the eight girls we had back then have left." Yutong, Xu Jingqiu, and now Hai Ruyu. It has only been more than ten years, and three have already left.
?? Yu Jing was involved in a treason case, and the nine clans were accused, and Yu Yiyi was naturally among them. If Jiang Yuxiu hadn't been helped by the princess, she would have been tortured to death by the witch.
As for Hua Meier who was not mentioned, Xia Yao believed that Hua Meier deserved the kindness the princess treated him. Hua Meier has been kind to Wen Wan over the years. Although it has not been of any substantial help, it is still good compared to the others. Later, what happened to Mingrui and the Luo family's behavior made Xia Yao and the others fully agree with Mei'er. Therefore, it is not that difficult to get the approval of these women!
Before Wen Wan could speak, she was immediately interrupted by Xia Yao: "Princess Princess, if you think it's your fault, then just take good care of the three brothers and sisters Ling Yuan."
Wen Wan glanced at Xia Yao: "When did I say it was my fault? Why don't you just say a few words of emotion? You woman."
Xia Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wen Wan no longer continued the topic. Just stop being attached to this matter.
Hai Ruyu is the Crown Princess, and the court has certain standards for the funeral of the Crown Princess. But recently the emperor was worried about money and began to cut expenses again. Due to special reasons for the queen, the emperor did not reduce the cost of the funeral, so the ceremony was as natural as it should be. But the princess's funeral was naturally impossible to hold in a big way.
Lingyuan was very dissatisfied with this, but he didn't have the guts to tell the emperor. He asked Lingcheng to go to Wen Wan, hoping that Wen Wan could suggest the emperor change his mind.
Lingting looked at Lingyuan and said nothing. He didn't know what his brother was thinking. Grandpa Huang has issued an imperial edict, and now he is asked to plead with his aunt to make Grandpa Huang change his original intention? is it possible? Not to mention that my aunt wouldn't beg for mercy, even if she did, it wouldn't change anything.
As his younger brother, there is definitely nothing he can do about Ling Yuan. But the prince still had ways to discipline Ling Yuan.
The prince knew Ling Yuan's thoughts and became angry immediately. The emperor has always advocated thrift, and he has never been extravagant or wasteful from registration to now. Now that the treasury is empty, expenditures have been reduced. The days went back to when he first ascended the throne. Since the emperor said that he should save as much as possible, who can say anything. Ling Yuan unexpectedly asked Wen Wan for help. This is not to question the emperor's decision. What would the emperor think if he knew about it?
Ling Yuan was severely punished by the prince, and under the arrangement of a caring person. Ling Yuan knew that it was Ling Chang who had tipped off the prince. There was already a rift between the brothers, but now the rift is getting wider and wider. (To be continued)
