Chapter 141
Chen Pin feels that these days are basically magical realism.
First, on the way home, he was inexplicably covered with a cloth bag and was wicked by a group of fierce spirits... Well, he didn't actually see what the gangster looked like, so he was taken captive to a closed room on all sides and locked up.
Every day someone will bring food and drinks. In fact, the food is not bad. He can be satisfied if he has any clothes, books, etc. he wants. But he wanted to ask what words, but he didn't respond at all.
Even the people who came to give things away were dumb slaves with mediocre faces.
Being locked in this opaque room on all sides, the only way to the outside world is a closed iron door. Even if the room is brightly lit, there are beautiful flowers and delicious food and wine, it will make people give birth to boundless. The endless fear comes.
Chen Pin once tried to escape, but a scholar who had no power to tie the chicken, couldn't move the iron gate railing at all, and wanted to rush out when the dumb slaves gave things away. He didn't expect these dumb slaves to be able to martial arts. of.
There is no way to enter the earth, he can only stay in this cell obediently.
He is not stupid. He already knows the recent rumors about his grandfather's life experience. He is also panicking. Which force in the palace has arrested himself and tried to threaten the emperor? Or the noble and wealthy who hate Nanchen and want to get rid of them quickly? Even the gentle and amiable cousin emperor, in order to suppress the rumors, wants to kill himself?
After thinking about it for several days, suddenly one day, the door opened, and a group of people came in, gently and firmly "invited" themselves out of the room, and then squeezed into a carriage.
The carriage ran very fast, Chen Pin was blindfolded in the carriage, panicking, is he going to be silenced? Still have to be taken to the transaction?
Then, he was asked to get out of the carriage again. The shackles were also released. He tore off his blindfold and immediately recognized that where he was standing was the place where he had disappeared on the way home that night, and beside him stood a panic-stricken book boy.
From position to posture, there is no difference at all.
At the end of the line of sight, a carriage left in the dust, leaving only the ground covered with dust, dazzling the little cousin with a bewildered look.
Chen Pin:...
The book boy watched for a while and asked cautiously: "Master, this is..."
Chen Pin shook his head: "Don't ask, I don't know Master."
Book boy:...
The two people were at a loss, and an exclamation suddenly came from the front.
"Master is back!"
Chen Pin looked up and saw that it was the concierge of his house.
The courtyard of the godsend is with servants of the godsend. The place where he disappeared was originally not far from his house. At this time, he got out of the carriage and was found by the servant.
Immediately, a large group of servants poured out from the house...
Wait, do you have so many servants in this house? I remember that this Sanjin courtyard house only had a dozen servants.
In the end, the two men were sleepwalking and returned to the yard surrounded by servants.
The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were of high quality. They had disappeared for so many days inexplicably. They didn't even ask for a question. They surrounded them one by one to help Chen Pin bathe and change clothes and freshen up, and some people brought delicious meals.
Chen Pin really couldn't eat it. During the few days he was detained, his diet was actually good, and it was almost the same every day without mentioning the delicacies of mountains and seas. The taste, in retrospect, resembles the taste of Wanjinfang, the number one restaurant in Beijing. When Chen Pin was treated as a guest, he went to eat once and was very impressed.
Looking back now, during that period of imprisonment, he even suspected that if he asked for a beautiful woman to accompany the night, there would be a beautiful woman sent to that closed room.
Well, all this is over.
Surrounding him now are the servants arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who are hurriedly serving themselves, putting on luxurious and dignified clothes. The butler is still urging him out hastily.
"Master, just now a will came from the palace, Jin named you Ennanhou, now you have to go to the palace to thank you."
Chen Pin:? ? ?
Then, Chen Pin was sent to the palace in a daze to give thanks.
Jin Feng Ennanhou? What is the reason? I already have the title of Lord Cheng En, which is the routine title of the emperor's mother's family. After my father passed away last year, the court had approved his brother to inherit. Why did I suddenly have another title of Marquis?
In today's world, without great credit, it is almost impossible to knight. Just like the glory of the Pei clan, a pair of marquises, but they were exchanged for their lives on the battlefield!
Standing in the Beginning-of-Creation Palace, his Emperor's cousin still smiles politely.
Chen Pin was full of doubts, but he also knew that it was not the time to ask questions, especially strangers standing beside him.
The one next to me... had a good life! The emperor introduced just now, is it the legendary Cui Qian? It seems that he is still in charge of Pingxi Camp, the third grade general Zhenwei.
Sure enough, as beautiful as in the legend.
Everyone loves to watch beautiful women, and Chen Pin couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Cui Qian noticed, turned his head and glanced at him indifferently.
With this look, Chen Pin suddenly felt a kind of coolness in his heart. That feeling suddenly seemed to be locked in an empty closed room. It was the despair and coolness of the previous few days that filled his mind. ...
He couldn't help shivering, how does it feel? Why are they familiar and fearful?
Qin Nuo looked at the small movements of these two people, suddenly a little amused: "Does Cui Qing have any opinion on Ennanhou?"
"No." Cui Qian responded with a calm face.
"That's good, both of them are young talents from the court..."
This sentence is not wrong. For such a young person with such a prominent title, there used to be Cui Qian and Pei Tuo in the dynasty. Now Chen Pin needs to be added.
The eldest cousin of the Chen family already had the title of Prince Hongyi, and it was impossible to inherit it, so he simply let Chen Pin inherit it.
"I have entrusted Cui Qing to Ennanhou's safety in the future."
"After all, one of the two is my cousin and the other is my cousin!" Qin Nuo said with a smile.
*********
The sunset is sinking, and the sunset glow is soaking the sky, red.
A group of horses and horses huddled in a carriage and walked quickly on the street.
A recent disturbance in the middle of the night, although it was suppressed by lightning, the Five city division still stirred up the situation in the capital.
The common people still didn't feel much, but the few neighborhoods gathered by the powerful and dignitaries became cautious. In the past few days, they closed their doors early and stopped going out.
On a street that was colder than before, the horse-drawn carriage hurriedly reached the door of a mansion.
Zhang Juzhe, the leading Ouchi guard, Sili, looked at the grand palace gate, secretly sighed, resigned himself to his fate, got off his horse, and knocked on the door.
Perhaps because of the fright the last time, the old housekeeper in front of the door opened the newly repaired door as quickly as possible. Then he looked at the guards neatly draped outside the door with a panic face.
"What's the important thing for several of you? Our prince has just returned from the imperial tomb and is unwell and is recuperating."
On the second day of the incident, the courtiers and nobles from the summer palace returned to the capital together. At that time, the general situation was set, and most people had nothing but to live honestly. Qin Xun was shocked when he heard the news of Qin Ze's death. Although he was completely confused from the beginning to the end, he felt dangerous instinctively. He thought about it and immediately began to pretend to be sick behind closed doors.
Zhang Juzhe bowed and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Since Lord Shu is resting, I won't bother you. I just ordered the palace to send the little prince back to your house."
"Huh?" The old butler was shocked, but he didn't expect such a good thing.
He quickly cast his eyes to the door.
The guards outside had already opened the carriage door, and a trembling middle-aged woman got out of the carriage with the child in her arms.
It was Qin Xun's fat son and his nanny.
It's just that the nurse's face is pale and desperate, and the arms holding the child are shaking.
Zhang Juzhe also had no choice but to return the two people to Prince Shu's Mansion, and immediately left with the imperial guard.
Inside the house, Qin Xun, who was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, heard the news and immediately jumped out of the bed and stepped out of the bedroom.
He still cares about his only son.
Outside, the side concubine lady also rushed to hear the news and rushed on her son.
"The prince, the empress... Hurry up and call the imperial doctor over, I'm afraid... it's not good!" The nurse said tremblingly.
The side concubine immediately lifted the cloth towel covering her son's face, screamed and fainted on the spot.
Qin Xun tremblingly leaned over to take a look. The big fat son, who was still alive and furiously shutting his house up and down before, was already pale with a pale face at this time, and he was full of life.
Qin Xun almost collapsed: "What does this mean!"
The nurse was distraught and started from the beginning.
On the night when the palace was changed, she and the little prince were robbed into the palace and held in the side hall of Cining Palace. The little prince woke up from his deep sleep and found that the surrounding environment was unfamiliar. He cried and wanted to find his mother.
However, where there is his mother in the palace, it is useless for the nurse to coax or feed her in every possible way. The sound of crying and screaming made the whole Cining Palace uneasy.
It seems that Queen Mother Huo was upset by the quarrel and lost her temper. Several female officials rushed in and asked the little thing to shut up immediately.
The nurse trembling asked for a palace. But she was flatly rejected by the leading female officer. The empress had already confessed that the little prince must be guarded close by, and could not stay away from her.
At this time, everyone knew that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood, and no one dared to be in a bad mood.
However, when the little prince saw strangers approaching him, he cried harder.
Regarding the prince and grandchildren, the female officials did not dare to be too violent, so they thought about it and took candy and cakes to feed the little prince.
On weekdays, the concubine takes care of her son very hard, and she refuses to give the child more of these sugar cakes.
The little prince got the pastry, and the crying stopped. Seeing the effect, the female officials immediately ordered the small kitchen to prepare more sweets, snacks, honey and cheese, and bring them to the little prince to enjoy.
The nurse did not dare to stop, and watched them feed the children at will.
As it was approaching dawn, the little prince didn't know if he had eaten too much, or choked with what he was eating, suddenly he couldn't breathe well, and his eyes turned white while holding his stomach.
Several female officials were shocked, and thoughtfully wanted to go out of the palace to find an imperial doctor, but the surrounding area of ββCining Palace was quietly guarded, and the queen mother's warrant was required to enter and leave.
Several female officials hesitated, and the queen mother was in a bad mood, and no one dared to feel bad. They beat their chests and backs one by one, hoping to save the little prince himself.
During the drowsiness, the poor little baby died like this.
Several female officials were afraid of how to report to Queen Mother Huo, the front hall was suddenly surrounded by a group of soldiers, locking everyone in.
The nurse almost collapsed, crying at them about her experience. The head of the guard, Zhang Juzhe, who was in charge of the servants of the Cining Palace, heard that there was the only seedling of King Shu in front of him. He did not dare to slack off. He urgently invited several doctors to consult together. However, because of the delay for too long, the little prince had already returned. Lacking skills.
Zhang Juzhe had no choice but to report the news to the emperor, and then he was ordered to send out the child and the nurse.
...
Side concubine woke up leisurely, and once again threw herself on her son, stroking her cold face, crying endlessly.
"Shu'er, my Shuo'er, why are you so life-stricken? I don't know what you have suffered in that cannibalism place! Lord, you must avenge Shuo'er!"
"Take revenge, how to take revenge?" Qin Xun fell to the ground in despair.
"The prince, you are a dignified prince!" The concubine side cried bitterly, "The only son is dead, do you recognize that?"
The fat on Qin Xun's chin trembled, and there was a trace of cruelty in his eyes.
"The prince shit! I started from the Imperial Tomb Mountain Resort, and he didn't know what was going on all the time, bastard..."
Sure enough, it is impossible for a man to have no right!
************
Huo Family's inner house.
Huo Changyang let out a sigh of relief slowly, his face haggard.
He was lying on the bed. Since the funeral of Queen Mother Huo ended, Mr. Huo has grown a lot, and his original healthy body has weakened.
Huo Donglai served by the side, carefully wiping the sweat from his forehead for his father.
"Don't worry, my old man, who can reach this age, has passed away four generations of emperors. It is long enough." Huo Changyang smiled. But these smiles can't hide the sallow face, and the old man in front of him is already dead.
Huo Donglai's eyebrows were full of sorrow, and his father had fallen ill since the incident of the Queen Mother Huo came to light.
"You did a good job, Huo Family is handed over to you, I have nothing to worry about." Huo Changyang sighed.
Huo Donglai understood that his father praised him for rushing to the Pei Mansion overnight and entering the court with Pei Ling. Although it was a few steps late, it finally showed the attitude of the Huo family.
"The emperor must be satisfied. He always needs our Huo Family to be there, otherwise how will the court check and balance." Huo Changyang said slowly.
"When the news of my death spreads, the emperor will be unreasonable, and it is impossible for you to retreat and observe filial piety."
"Father!" Huo Donglai whispered.
"Don't let this look of disappointment, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the normal state of human beings. For the father's age, he is already happy, there is nothing to let go." The old man smiled and comforted his son.
"The court is not the time when old things like us can call the wind and rain. It is the world of your generation, you, Pei Ling, and... Well, maybe even you will not be able to jump for a few years. The emperor is just a few. Years old, that's it... It's really the waves behind the rivers and lakes pushing the waves forward, and each wave is higher than the other."
Huo Changyang sighed, suddenly showing a subtle smile.
"Don't think about restoring authority, and don't think about targeting Pei again. Ascending to the heights will cause you to fall heavily. Although Pei Ling is proud now, I am afraid that in the future, he will fall more severely than us..."
"The emperor, he doesn't show the mountains or the water, but his methods are very high."
"It's also good to transfer to the Criminal Department. Be cautious and work hard."
Sentences, screams, carefully instructed to care about behind him.
"Son knows." Huo Donglai responded, holding back tears.
After confessing the major concern, the old man gradually became silent, staring blankly at the void.
"I was too greedy back then. If I followed her wishes, I would discuss marriage with the Cui family..."
Life is drawing to a close, and the last worry is the daughter who once cherished the most beloved. However, all regrets are impossible to come back...
Huo Changyang didn't say anything, and slowly closed his eyes.
The author has something to say: The little cousin you want...
