Farmers of Shu Han

Chapter 1328 Old and Faint (2)

Perhaps Sun Quan himself didn't notice that his temper was getting weirder day by day since he started practicing dual cultivation.

To be precise, I am easily irritable and irritable.

But the feeling of the people in the palace is the most intuitive.

In the past two years, His Majesty has become more and more inexplicably angry, and then blamed his subordinates at every turn.

Although Sun He is the crown prince, compared to his elder sister Princess Quan, she is still too immature in terms of political sensitivity, or in trying to figure out Emperor Sun's thoughts.

After all, Princess Quan followed Mrs. Bu in the palace since she was a child, watching how her mother fought against Sun Quan's entire harem.

Sun He was just hastily promoted to the position of prince after Sun Deng died of illness, and he didn't have much experience at all.

Facing an opponent like the Quan Princess and his wife teaming up, no matter whether it is inside the palace or outside the court, he cannot gain an advantage.

In the palace, Princess Quan is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Sun and also Sun He's nominal elder sister.

In the outer dynasty, the prince's guests were all from the second or even third generation.

Do you think King Lu has no guests?
And the only top general in the court who can suppress Quan Cong was scolded by His Majesty for "doing everything for self-interest" at the court meeting.

Until now, I have not been able to see His Majesty.

Sun He's only advantage is the status of the prince.

But even with this crown prince status, there is also a King of Lu to compete with him.

Therefore, Sun Quan created the two palaces to stand side by side to make the position of the prince appear to be a blessing, but in fact it was extremely dangerous.

If it was replaced by someone who was more sober, he would probably be trembling and walking on thin ice.

Just like Sun Deng, his status was as stable as Mount Tai, but in front of Sun Quan, he said that his background was not enough.

He repeatedly wanted to abdicate to the son of Mrs. Wang who was favored at the time, who is now the crown prince Sun He.

Although on the matter of establishing a queen, Sun Deng insisted on his own opinion and opposed Sun Quan.

But such behaviors just showed his filial piety.

In Sun Quan's view, the eldest son could do this for his adoptive mother.

How could it be worse for him, his biological father?
The emperor's family is mostly ruthless.

It's rare to have such a loving and filial son. Who wouldn't like him?
He is humble, courteous, corporal, and sensible enough to make people feel distressed...

With such a perfect prince in front, the pressure on the successor is great.

When Sun Quan looks at the prince now, he subconsciously compares himself with the standards of the previous prince.

Therefore, when she learned about Sun He's behavior in front of the Ancestral Temple from Princess Quan, she naturally became angry.

But at this time, he still retained the last trace of reason.

Princess Quan and Mrs. Wang, the mother of the crown prince, have always been at odds, and Sun Quan naturally knew about it.

When Princess Quan said about Mrs. Wang, Sun Quan always kept three points in his heart.

And even if Mrs. Wang came to confront her, she would not admit it.

But did the crown prince really go to the Zhang family before entering the Taimiao as Princess Quan said? That is very important, very important!

If the prince is really as he said, then Mrs. Wang's face is filled with joy, most likely, no, it is definitely true.

Unfortunately, the news brought back by Lv Yi, the secretary of the school office in charge of supervising all officials, completely defeated the last trace of luck in Sun Quan's heart:
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is indeed in the Zhang residence."

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately became furious and patted the bed repeatedly:

"Nizi, this Nizi, how long has he been in?"

"I heard that the prince went to Zhang Mansion not long before he arrived at the Ancestral Temple. It has been nearly an hour now."

"Bastard! Rebel!"

Sun Quan flushed with anger:

"What about people? What about others?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is still in Zhang Mansion..."

Sun Quan stared fiercely at Lu Yi who was under the couch: "What are you all doing! Why didn't you bring him back?"

Lu Yi kowtowed in fear:
"Your Majesty, the prince is the crown prince. Without your majesty's edict, how can I dare to give orders to the prince without authorization?"

Princess Quan, who was standing by, secretly glanced at Lu Yi with admiration.

How about being a close minister of His Majesty?

Not a single word in these words was directed at the prince.

But hearing it in His Majesty's ears, it was extremely cruel.

Sure enough, Sun Quan was seen yelling:
"What about the crown prince? Could it be that the crown prince is better than me!"

This was what Lu Yi was waiting for, but when he saw him, he quickly said:
"Your Majesty calm down, I'm going to invite the prince back immediately."

"Please, please! Bring that traitor back to me!"

Lu Yi answered "here", then got up and ran outside quickly.

Sun Quan was full of righteousness, and the crown prince had not returned, so he could not vent his anger. He thought of one person, and then ordered:

"Also, call that cheap maid over to me."

Neither the left nor the right knows why.

Fortunately, Princess Quan reminded: "It's Mrs. Wang."

Left and right suddenly realized, and hurried to invite Mrs. Wang.

Madam Wang was overjoyed when she heard that His Majesty had summoned her.

Since His Majesty has been ill for so long, none of the ladies in the harem has been able to see His Majesty.

Even that bitch surnamed Pan gave birth to a prince and was not summoned by His Majesty.

Today is Zhengdan, I didn't expect His Majesty to summon me.

I remembered that the prince went to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices in place of his majesty today.

Mrs. Wang is already fantasizing about a certain possibility—could it be possible that His Majesty has finally figured it out, and wants to make herself a queen to celebrate her joy?

Thinking of this, she used the excuse that she was not well-groomed and needed to change her clothes. She put on makeup as quickly as possible, and then she set off to meet Sun Quan.

"This servant, is your majesty's condition better recently?"

Before seeing Sun Quan, Mrs. Wang still had the heart to ask Xiao Huangmen who came to lead the way.

How dare you talk nonsense at Xiaohuangmen?
He didn't want to die unexpectedly one day.

"Return to Madam, the villain is just a messenger, how can he know about His Majesty's condition?"

"Does the chamberlain know that His Majesty called me to come? Why?"

As Mrs. Wang was talking, she also wanted to quietly stuff something into the little yellow door.

Xiao Huangmen's hand was withdrawn as if being electrocuted, and at the same time replied with a half-hearted smile:

"Madam has gone, so I will know."

After speaking, he deliberately quickened his pace.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to follow closely.

Arriving at Sun Quan's palace, Mrs. Wang was allowed to enter after the chamberlain reported. Sun Quan saw that her makeup was exquisite, like a new painting.

Although the expression on her face was not as happy as what Princess Quan said, there was no trace of sadness or worry at all.

He was extremely angry on the spot, and before Mrs. Wang could salute, he cursed:
"You lowly maidservant, with a heart like a poisonous scorpion, heartless and heartless, it's in vain that I have treated you so well all these years!"

Mrs. Wang was immediately scolded and was stunned.

Seeing her standing there, Sun Quan was even more angry:
"You don't know how to salute me when you see me, do you bitch treat me like a dead person?"

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she quickly prostrated herself on the ground:
"I dare not."

"You don't dare?" Sun Quan sneered, "How could you not dare? I am seriously ill on the bed, and you have treated me like this. What do you want to do? Could it be that you want to become the Queen Mother as soon as possible?"

Sun Quan surrounded him and kept humiliating and cursing him.

However, Mrs. Wang didn't know what made His Majesty so angry, and she didn't dare to talk back.

He could only be trembling, kowtowed again and again, and finally his forehead was broken.

The carefully applied makeup became sloppy and ugly due to tears and blood.

This made Sun Quan extremely disgusted.

"Your Majesty, the prince is back."

The arrival of Sun He temporarily freed Mrs. Wang from Sun Quan's scolding. "Let this traitor come in!"

The prince hurried in and kowtowed to Sun Quan:

"The child pays respects to the royal father. I don't know why the royal father is in a hurry to call the child back."

"If I don't call you back, and let you stay in the Zhang Mansion for a little longer, I will be worried. You will forget what you did in the Taimiao!"

When Sun He heard that Sun Quan's tone was wrong, he quickly confessed:

"The child was first entrusted by the father and emperor to worship the Taimiao. It is like walking on thin ice. I dare not take it lightly. How dare I forget it?"

Sun Quan sneered:

"Don't you dare to forget? Well, let me ask you, I asked you to go to the Ancestral Temple to worship. Why did you go to Zhang's Mansion without even entering the Ancestral Temple? What? Is Zhang's Mansion your Ancestral Temple?"

I asked you to go to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices. I asked you to pray for me to get rid of my illness. What did you go to Zhang's house for?
I am not dead yet!

You are so anxious to discuss the affairs behind me?

These words were so serious that Sun He was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground:
"Baby just saw that it was still early, and the Zhang family is in-laws, so I went to take a rest."

Having said that, Sun He kowtowed again and again:
"I know I was wrong. You should not be greedy for comfort. You should insist on waiting in front of the Taimiao gate to show your sincerity."

Sun Quan looked at the prince with disappointment, and then looked at Mrs. Wang:
"Look, this is the good son you gave birth to!"

For important sacrifices, before entering the Taimiao, you go to the courtier's house first. Is this the appearance of a gentleman?
That's all.

In the past two years, I have been preparing for my death and paving the way for you.

It took a lot of effort to suppress the Lu and Zhang families a little.

But what about you?

Instead, go to Zhang's mansion to rest when offering sacrifices to the Taimiao?

This uncle is just the uncle of the Crown Princess, he is not even your maternal uncle.

He just called out, you just rushed to catch up, what do you want to do?
Do you really not understand my painstaking efforts?
Still really think I can't do it, don't you have any ideas?

Mrs. Wang sobbed and cried, raised her head, and kowtowed again:

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

Only then did the prince and grandson find out that the woman next to him who had been lying on the ground so that no one could see her face was actually his mother.

He was so shocked that he blurted out:
"Mother, why...how are you here?"

He wanted to ask how it happened like this, but luckily he changed his words in time.

Here, besides His Majesty, who else would dare to let mother do this?

Thinking that it was probably because of his carelessness that his mother had been harmed, Sun He quickly begged Sun Quan and said:

"Your Majesty, the child was confused for a moment and did something wrong, but the matter has nothing to do with the mother. I hope your Majesty will not blame the mother."

Seeing that Sun He had not yet figured out where he went wrong at this time.

There is also the mood of being a son and daughter, and being a woman's benevolence.

Sun Quan became more and more disappointed.

With your appearance like this, how can you be the emperor of Wu?

Our Sun family, if it is really handed over to you, I am afraid that it will be swallowed up by the big families like Jiangdong to the bone!
"Okay, you all go out."

Sun Quan closed his eyes and said a little tiredly.

It was supposed to be resting, but it took so long to get angry, which made Sun Quan really unable to support it.

When the prince heard this, he hurried forward, trying to help Mrs. Wang up.

But Mrs. Wang, after all, has been with Sun Quan for so many years.

After Mrs. Bu passed away, before Mrs. Pan entered the palace, she was the most favored.

At this time, he heard the hidden meaning of Sun Quan's words, pushed Sun He's hand away, walked forward on his knees, and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's my fault that I didn't discipline the prince well. The prince is too young, and there are some things that I don't know the severity of. I hope His Majesty will give him another chance."

Sun Quan closed his eyes and remained silent, as if he had fallen asleep.

Princess Quan, who had not spoken all this time, stepped forward at this time, blocked Mrs. Wang, and said indifferently:
"Prince, Your Majesty is already tired and needs to rest, why don't you help your mother down?"

The prince glared at Princess Quan fiercely and stepped forward to help his mother up again.

Mrs. Wang shook off his hand again, and continued to kneel there begging:
"Your Majesty, I beg you, just give the prince one more chance?"

Seeing that Sun Quan didn't intend to open his eyes, she hurriedly grabbed the prince's hand and said anxiously:

"Hurry up, Prince, you also admit your mistake to His Majesty, hurry up."

As she said that, she went to pull his sleeve again, trying to pull him to kneel down.

The prince is only the weakest of his age, at the age when his vitality and blood are just beginning.

If Princess Quan wasn't here, I couldn't say it, so he knelt down obediently.

But Princess Quan was standing in front, and if he knelt down at this time, wouldn't he want to kneel down to her?
Princess Quan and Mrs. Wang have had a long-standing grudge, and the relationship between the crown prince and Princess Quan is naturally extremely bad.

The dignified prince, want to kneel down to this woman?
But seeing Sun He standing there stubbornly, he said loudly:
"Mother, your majesty was just temporarily deceived. The pure will become clear from themselves, and the turbid will become turbid. In the future, the pure and the turbid will distinguish themselves. Your majesty will definitely see clearly."

Princess Quan smiled lightly, stretched out her hand and said:
"The crown prince is right. The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. In the future, the clear and the turbid will be separated. Madam, please?"

Sun Quan has not spoken.

Mrs. Wang didn't go to see Princess Quan, the pleading in her eyes gradually turned into despair, and finally she was helped out by the prince like a walking dead.

After returning to the residence, the prince asked Mrs. Wang to change her clothes, and then asked the doctor to apply medicine to the wound on his forehead. Then he asked worriedly:
"Auntie, how do you feel? Does it matter?"

Mrs. Wang didn't know whether she was hit or not, and she remained silent for a while.

Seeing his mother like this, the prince couldn't help feeling heartbroken and angry:
"That cheap servant dared to come before His Majesty and slander our mother and son. When I gain power in the future, I will never spare her!"

Mrs. Wang, who always seemed to have her soul taken out of her body, trembled when she heard the word "Your Majesty".

At this time, she seemed to have just come back to her senses, and seeing the prince standing beside her, she quickly grabbed his hand and said anxiously:

"Why are you here? Aren't you at the Ancestral Temple?"

The prince answered inexplicably:
"Grandmother may have forgotten that it was His Majesty who called the child back."

"I called you back, and I didn't say that I won't let you go back to sacrifice to the Taimiao!"

Mrs. Wang was angry and anxious, "The guard of honor for offering sacrifices to the Taimiao has not been withdrawn. As long as His Majesty does not send someone else, then you should go back as soon as possible."

The prince was taken aback.

It took him a while to react. He turned around and looked outside, his expression changed drastically:
"Oops, the good time has passed."

Mrs. Wang cursed angrily, "Zhuzi!"

The prince shook his head and smiled bitterly, and explained:

"Mum, even if I don't delay, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up after returning from His Majesty."

He stayed in Zhang's mansion for more than an hour, and then he was called back to the palace to reprimand him, the auspicious time had already passed.

When Mrs. Wang heard what the prince said, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was completely shattered.

Recalling the scene when I met His Majesty last time, I can't help feeling anxious:
"In the past two years, Your Majesty has gradually grown distant towards me. I am no longer favored, and now I am being slandered by others. I am afraid that I will be hated by Your Majesty in the future."

The prince consoled him:
"Why should I worry, mother? You are my mother. As long as I am the crown prince of Wu, you will be the crown prince's mother."

"Even if His Majesty dislikes you, he will never do anything to you."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was even more worried:

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Now that His Majesty has not allowed King Lu to move out of the palace, who knows what His Majesty is thinking?"

"In the future, when you serve His Majesty, you must be careful, and don't make His Majesty angry like you do today."

Sun He nodded in agreement, and comforted Mrs. Wang again, and then Mrs. Wang reluctantly fell asleep in worry.

At this time, the cold air was still there, and when Mrs. Wang returned from Sun Quan's place, she was devastated and her body was invaded by the cold evil.

I was frightened, and I was always worried. I couldn't keep my spirits up, and it was hard to get rid of the cold evil.

Under this disease, it became increasingly serious.

Then, another news came that His Majesty ordered the two of them to forbid communicating with officials from other courts and to concentrate on studying in view of the quarrel between the crown prince and the king of Lu, and their guests continued to criticize each other.

After Mrs. Wang learned about it, she became even more worried:
"When Prince Xuan (that is, Sun Deng) was there, he was not only able to lead the army, but also often communicated with the generals and ministers to rule the country."

"Your Majesty does not allow the Crown Prince to interact with officials. Doesn't that mean you don't treat him as a Crown Prince?"

She was seriously ill and her worries were consuming her energy. Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to fall ill and soon died from treatment.
