Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

No! Not at all!

Emperor Wende was firm.

No matter who comes to plead, it is useless.

Concubines crying outside the gate of Xingqing Palace?

I'm sorry, Emperor Wende has a hard heart and abstains from womanizing. It's useless to cry beautifully.

The ministers tried in vain to understand it with reason and move it with emotion.

hehe!

Emperor Wende rolled his eyes and understood on his own.

If you dare to reach out, you must have the consciousness of being cut off.

The courtiers who committed the crime were all arrested.

Palace people who dared to send news outside the palace were not so lucky. Once the charge is confirmed, he will be executed immediately.

Corpses were carried out of the palace and buried in mass graves.

The harem is full of rumors, and everyone is in danger.

Where the Department of Punishment has gone, even the concubines in the harem have to behave with their tails between their legs.

Only a talented person died two days ago, and no one wants to follow in his footsteps.

The fourth prince, Liu Yi, was dismissed from his errand and stayed at home.

His situation is better, and he can enter the palace to pay his respects as usual.

In Weiyang Palace, mother and son meet.

The fourth prince Liu Yi paid his respects, and asked with concern: Is the queen mother okay?

Empress Pei was lying crookedly on the Arhat couch, feeling depressed.

She shook her head and complained: Everyone in the harem is in danger, what's wrong with this palace. The Punishment Department is getting more and more presumptuous, even Weiyang Palace dares to investigate.

The queen mother bears with it, and when the news passes, everything will get better.

I understand this truth. I just don't like the arrogance of the Department of Punishment.

Empress Pei placed the teacup heavily on the desk, making a loud noise.

She asked the fourth prince Liu Yi, Did you visit your father?

The fourth prince Liu Yi nodded, My son is going to Xingqing Palace to pay his respects, but the father refuses to see his son.

Queen Pei frowned,

Your father is getting more and more confused as he gets older.

Mother, be careful.

Empress Pei said indifferently: Even in front of your father, I will say that about him. It is true that he is no longer as shrewd as he was in his early years, and he is becoming more and more confused. Your father should let him You take on more errands.

The fourth prince Liu Yi frowned, Mother, please be careful!

Hmph! What are you afraid of? Ben Gong is not wrong.

The fourth prince Liu Yi rubbed the center of his brows, Mother, you are not in the palace now, and you can't say anything.

Okay, okay, I'm just complaining. Did your elder brother Liu Zhao write back?

I have to ask my sister-in-law. Maybe my sister-in-law has received a letter from my elder brother.

This unfilial son. Empress Pei was annoyed, I raised him for a long time, but I didn't even receive a letter.

Fourth prince Liu Yi was silent.

He will not speak ill of Liu Zhao, but he will not excuse Liu Zhao either.

It is really inappropriate for Liu Zhao not to send letters to the palace.

Empress Pei scolded Liu Zhao and felt better.

I heard that your sister-in-law moved back to the First Prince's Mansion with her child.

Exactly!

Did you say when the housewarming party will be held?

It is said that it will be done after the eldest brother returns to Beijing.

When Liu Zhao returns to Beijing, the daylily will be cold. What kind of housewarming banquet will be held at that time. She is also confused. Liu Zhao is now in the northwest and needs the support of the courtiers. I think she is moving back to the First Prince's Mansion at this time. We wanted to take this opportunity to hold a housewarming banquet to win Liu Zhao's relationship. In the end, she was too disappointing.

Empress Pei scolded Gu Jiu again.

She scolded Gu Jiu for not knowing how to think for Liu Zhao, not knowing how to seize the opportunity.

After Empress Pei finished scolding, the fourth prince Liu Yi said: The relationship between the eldest brother and the ministers of the court is not good. Even if my sister-in-law organizes a housewarming banquet, the family members of civil and military officials may not come to the banquet. Rather than being embarrassed and being rejected by others, it is better not Host a housewarming party.

Ridiculous! Empress Pei scolded Liu Yi.

Apart from civil servants and military generals, don't the royal family and aristocratic families need to be entertained and contacted? Your father is angry, but he can't stop your sister-in-law from holding a housewarming banquet. No, I will arrange for someone to invite your sister-in-law into the palace.

Mother, wait a moment. Liu Yi stopped Empress Pei, The eldest brother is in the northwest, and my sister-in-law is holding a high-profile banquet. I'm afraid it's inappropriate.

Empress Pei asked angrily, What's wrong? You always speak for her. Could it be that you and Xiao Qin'er have taken her favors.

Liu Yi quickly denied, The son is thinking about the elder brother. Think about it, the mother is not at ease with the elder brother. At this time, the sister-in-law is throwing a big banquet and attracting many relationships, which will definitely cause the father's dissatisfaction. If the father wants to There are too many, what should I do if my brother in the northwest is involved? Big brother finally won this opportunity, so you can't waste all your efforts and let others take advantage of it.

Empress Pei frowned and thought deeply, The second child has been imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, so there must be no chance to make trouble now.

But there is still the third brother, the fifth and the sixth. Concubine Rhodes has been silent all these years, but she is steady. When it comes to the critical moment, it may not be without means.

Empress Pei snorted coldly, Concubine Luo wants to win a chance for the fifth child, and it depends on whether I agree with you. The third child's biological mother passed away early, and because of her pitiful background and poisoning, your father is very tolerant to him. The third child is a bad guy, just like the second child, he is a restless master. If he jumps up and down, maybe he will really succeed.

That's why my son said that it's good for my elder brother if my sister-in-law doesn't hold a housewarming banquet at this time.

How much benefit can it have?

Empress Pei accepted Liu Yi's words, but was still unhappy.

She was dissatisfied with Liu Zhao, and she was also dissatisfied with Gu Jiu.

In front of Gu Jiu, a daughter-in-law, she had never tasted the pleasure of being a mother-in-law.

It's really annoying.

Empress Pei rubbed her brows, What has Xiao Qin'er been up to lately?

Liu Yi was embarrassed to say.

Empress Pei gave him a gouged look, Is there anything I can't say.

Qin'er is pregnant, and it's less than three months old, so my son didn't say anything.

Really? Empress Pei was overjoyed, I didn't expect her to be pregnant at this age. Is the fetal image stable?

The imperial doctor said that the baby is stable, everything is fine now, and Qin'er didn't respond at all.

Empress Pei laughed, This is a good thing! I have to tell your father!

Liu Yi had a different idea, My son wants to wait until Qin'er is three months old before announcing it.

Why?

Liu Yi said solemnly: My son has heard that Emperor Father has been extremely irritable recently, beating, scolding and scolding at every turn. Reporting the news at this time may not please Emperor Father, and it may even irritate Emperor Father.

If you can't please your father, I can understand. To stimulate your father, where do you start?

Liu Yi pondered for a moment before he said, My son heard that the father has not entered the harem for a long time, and he has not checked the name of the concubine. Could it be the father's side...

what!

Empress Pei was shocked and surprised, she hadn't guessed that way at all before.

You mean, your father is dying? Empress Pei covered her mouth, for fear that the words would spread.

Liu Yi lowered his voice and said, Son, I hope this is not the reason. But in case... the news of Qin'er's pregnancy is reported at this time, there is no guarantee that the father will not think too much. He thinks that the son and the queen are laughing at him.

Empress Pei covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly.

Your concerns are justified.

Empress Pei dared to scold Emperor Wende for getting older and more confused in front of Emperor Wende, and even called him stupid and shameless, but she never dared to say that Emperor Wende was not good.

It's about a man's self-esteem, and ordinary men can't accept being scolded, let alone an emperor.

This is the Achilles' heel!

Queen Pei thought she had discovered the truth.

She let out a long breath, This explains why your father has been so violent recently, and a big case has been raised in the court, which has made people panic.

It wasn't the first day that news was delivered inside and outside the palace.

This has been the case since the day the palace was built.

Emperor Wende didn't pursue it in the past, but he did so at this time, because he must have been stimulated.

Empress Pei said: It's still you who are thoughtful. Tell Qin'er to take good care of the baby, and don't enter the palace to pay her respects recently. It's best to have another son for you.

My son also hopes that this child will be a legitimate son.

Liu Yi brought a cart full of rewards and returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. It is two streets away from the First Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Qin'er is checking her daughter's female celebrity.

Seeing Liu Yi come back, he complained: Look at your daughter's sewing, it's not as good as I did when I was a child, your daughter has been raised more and more arrogant by you, she just refuses to calm down and study hard. needlework.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do needlework. When she grows up, give her four or five needlework ladies as a dowry. Does the majestic granddaughter still want to do needlework with her own hands?

Xiao Qin'er gave him a blank look, I can't say no to you.

How do you feel today? Liu Yi asked with concern.

Xiao Qin'er smiled, It's pretty good. I didn't vomit or feel sick, but my taste has changed. I feel like I have no taste in my mouth when I eat anything.

Liu Yi held her hand, If you want to eat, tell the kitchen to make it. Our family does not lack this money.

Xiao Qin'er chuckled.

Not short of money?

dream.

She is now worrying about money.

You said that the four-wheeled carriage is such a good thing, why did the emperor not agree to mass production?

What are you planning? Liu Yi asked her.

Xiao Qin'er said: The second sister-in-law came to the door yesterday, and she told me that if His Majesty agrees to mass-produce four-wheeled carriages, my sister-in-law will raise shares. Four-wheeled carriages can definitely make a lot of money. I don't know how many people in the capital are asking about this thing.

I just thought, when my sister-in-law raises shares, I have to take the money into a share and save some property for the children. Otherwise, relying on your little Juelu, the family would have starved to death long ago.

Liu Yi laughed at her, Back when my sister-in-law was building a house outside the Nancheng Gate, I advised you to pay more. But you were very stingy, and only took out a few thousand taels. Naturally, the dividends were less than others.

Xiao Qin'er said bitterly: Don't bring up the past. Later, when my sister-in-law was engaged in cement roads, I also participated in the shares, and the money was distributed every year, and the principal had already been earned back. The next few decades would be for nothing. If it weren't for With my sharp eyesight, can you live in a new house?

Don't forget that the new house is the money given by the emperor.

Father gave money to buy a house, but he didn't give money for renovations. The house was just renovated, with all kinds of decorations, furniture and utensils, costing no less than 50,000 taels. The money was all from me, and you didn't take out a penny.

You are pregnant now, I won't quarrel with you.

Then tell me, can the four-wheeled carriage be mass-produced? I'm still waiting to invest money in it.
