The queen's heart is unpredictable
Chapter 88 88
"What happened?" Zhang Xiaohua regained consciousness, turned her head to look at Deng Li.
Deng Li hesitated for a moment, because he thought of what Feng Xiaoxiao had explained before, so after weighing it up, he smiled respectfully and said, "Madam is not feeling well, please rest for now, this servant brought the little prince—"
"Deng Li, what are you doing? Are you planning to say nothing to me?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned and glanced at Deng Li.
Deng Li was a little embarrassed, "Madam's body——"
"I know my body very well! And even if I need to rest, don't I even have the right to know?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but raise her voice a little.
Duanmu Nian at the side quickly stopped Zhang Xiaohua, and said softly, "Don't be angry, my lord, I'll just say it..."
After finishing speaking, Duanmu Nian nodded to Deng Li, and then told what happened just now.
It turned out that after Deng Li informed the Qi family of Qi Yao's death according to Duanmu Yu's order, Qi Yongzhuo was deeply saddened, and he immediately went to the palace to see Duanmu Yu.
It's just that Duanmu Yu had already left with Zhang Xiaohua at that time, so Deng Li searched for a long time but couldn't find Duanmu Yu's trace, so naturally he had no way to deal with Qi Yongzhuo.
But in the face of the pain of bereavement, Qi Yongzhuo is relentless.
In desperation, Deng Li went to find Duanmian and asked Duanmian to suppress Qi Yongzhuo as a prince.
And Qi Yongzhuo has always suspected that someone murdered Qi Yao, so Duanmu Nian asked the imperial physician to examine Qi Yao's body, and after confirming that Qi Yao committed suicide, Duanmu Nian asked Qi Yongzhuo to go back.
They originally thought that after they found Duanmu Yu, they would let Duanmu Yu deal with this matter again.
only now...
Duanmuyu fell asleep, and now Qi Yongzhuo came back with a group of ministers, making it clear that he wanted to make things difficult for others.
"The matter of Duanmu Yu cannot be publicized!" After listening to Duanmu Nian's overview, Zhang Xiaohua carefully considered all the matters.
The political situation in the Dazhao Dynasty was already unstable, but now it can be stabilized thanks to Duanmuyu's thunderous means.
That group of old things, usually restrained because they were afraid of Duanmu Yu, now if they knew that Duanmu Yu had passed out, wouldn't they be shocked!
"Deng Li." Zhang Xiaohua looked over with a serious face, "You should be the one who helped Duanmu Yu draw up the plan for so many years, right?"
"Yes." Deng Li nodded, but there was some hesitation in his eyes, "Madam means..."
"Use Duanmu Yu's tone to draw up a decree, just say that Duanmu Yu has been feeling unwell recently, and the little prince has also reached the age of starting to get in touch with government affairs, so he will let the little prince take care of the government affairs recently, and she will briefly review them while recuperating. Important government affairs." After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking every word, she turned her head and looked at Duanmu Nian.
Duanmu Nian's eyes were burning and his expression was sassy.Looking back a few months ago, this child was still immature, but now he has to mature and stabilize in the face of reality.
While Zhang Xiaohua felt distressed, she felt even more relieved.
"In the next few days, you... will have to take on the big beam." Zhang Xiaohua touched Duanmu Yu's head and said, "But don't be afraid, I will accompany you."
"I'm not afraid!" Duanmu Nian nodded with certainty, "With my lord, and with the protection of my lord, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled happily and turned to look at Deng Li.But Deng Li frowns tightly, and he doesn't move.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Deng Li nodded, "Madam should know that without the monarch's signal, drafting a will without permission is—"
"You should be clearer than anyone else about the political situation in the court. Both Prime Minister Zuo and You Cheng are afraid of Duanmu Yu and stand still. If they know that Duanmu Yu is asleep at this time, they will definitely have a different mind. Think better, They may be fighting for each other's power more and more openly. But on the downside...you should know better than anyone what they will do
Chu. "
After listening to Zhang Xiaohua's words, Deng Li's lips could not help but curl into a line.
"Don't worry, if Duanmu Yu pursues it in the future, I will naturally bear it alone." Zhang Xiaohua lowered her eyes and said seriously, "Even if someone makes things difficult for you in the future, you can just withdraw me alone!"
"My lord!" Duanmu Nian quietly held Zhang Xiaohua's hand.
Zhang Xiaohua patted his fleshy palm comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
……
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to Zhang Xiaohua's wishes.
Deng Li went to draw up the decree, and Zhang Xiaohua personally pressed Duanmuyu's jade seal, and then announced it to the world.
"Asahi Palace, have you made all the arrangements?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Deng Li with some uneasiness.
Deng Li nodded, "The Monarch is under the care of the Poison Doctor Immortal, and everyone in the palace can be trusted. In addition, the purple bat will stay there all day."
"Very good!" Zhang Xiaohua nodded, then turned her head to look at Duanmu Nian, "Next, it's time for you to play."
Although Duanmu Yu had let Duanmu Nian take charge before, the situation that time was different from the last time.
The previous time, even if something happened, Duanmu Yu could stand up to it.But now...
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes suddenly darkened, "Duanmuyu...is she alright?"
Deng Li didn't expect that Zhang Xiaohua would suddenly ask about Duanmu Yu, so he was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses, nodded to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Your Majesty, everything is fine, Madam, please rest assured."
Don't worry?
How can you rest assured?
Although Zhang Xiaohua is not proficient in human micro-expressions, she and Deng Li have been together for a long time, and she can still see something from Deng Li's expression.
The so-called "everything is fine" are nothing more than comforting words.
But at this moment, a comforting word is enough, what else can she hope for?
Zhang Xiaohua raised her head and looked out the window.
The sun outside the window was bright, there was no wind, and everything was so calm that it made people feel scared.
When Qian Muyu was around, he relied on Duanmu Yu for everything.But now that Duanmu Yu is gone, that Zhang Xiaohua has to stir up all the troubles!
She believed, and firmly believed that Duanmu Yu would wake up.
Most definitely!
Definitely, definitely will!
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaohua took a deep breath, and after calming down, she patted Duanmu Nian on the shoulder and said, "Go to the government review hall, remember to take your time and guard against arrogance and impetuosity! Your mother Looking at you, don't be afraid of anything! If those old things dare to bully you, I will beat them up for you!"
Duanmu Nian, who was still a little nervous, couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, "Okay!"
Watching Duanmu Nian go away, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly noticed that Deng Li was still standing beside him, showing no intention of leaving.
"What's the matter? Is there something else?" Zhang Xiaohua poured a cup of hot tea, and warmed her slightly cold fingers against the temperature of the cup.
Deng Li walked to Zhang Xiaohua's side, bowed slightly and said, "There is something that needs to be decided by Madam."
"What's the matter? Tell me." After a long time of tossing, Zhang Xiaohua was actually tired, but she still looked at Deng Li vigorously.
Deng Li pursed his lips, but he didn't speak, but turned his head and looked away.
Just when Zhang Xiaohua felt strange and was about to follow Deng Li's gaze, she saw a black shadow covering it.
It turned out to be a purple bat!
"What's the matter? Are you busy?" Zhang Xiaohua was really tired.
Now that there are many crises outside, it is okay to keep your mind and energy on dealing with outsiders. She really doesn't want to waste it on Deng Li and Ziba, two people Duanmu Yu trusts 100%
time.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Zhang Xiaohua was very straightforward, "If I can make the decision, I will do it. If not, then...then you all don't waste time on me."
After the words fell, the purple bat suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Xiaohua with a "plop".
This sudden movement obviously frightened Zhang Xiaohua.
"You...you...what are you doing?" Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly reached out to help.
But Ziba stopped Zhang Xiaohua and insisted on kneeling.
"What are you doing? Which song are you singing?" Seeing that the purple bat couldn't move, Zhang Xiaohua could only turn her head to look at Deng Li.
Deng Li was fine, he turned around and left the room, and silently closed the door.
Ah!
He co-authored and sold her like this...
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help sneering, but she quickly recovered and looked at the purple bat in front of her. She said sternly, "Get up quickly, and just speak up if you have anything to say. Don't do such nonsense. If you kneel again Come on, I... I'll be angry! I won't promise you anything then!"
Even though Zhang Xiaohua had already threatened, but the purple bat remained motionless, Zhang Xiaohua had completely given up.
And at this moment, the purple bat suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaohua with red eyes, "Please madam... Please spare the young man's life!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaohua felt that she was in a fog.
Young?
What age?
"Qi Shaoling?" Zhang Xiaohua carefully filtered the people she knew, only then did she realize that among the people she knew, only Qi Shaoling seemed to have such a name.
But she was even more confused, "What's wrong with Qi Shaoling?"
"Now she is secretly imprisoned in the water prison by the order of the monarch. Madam should know that a place like a water prison is not something a weak woman can stay in. She...she..."
After what Ziba said, some broken memories in Zhang Xiaohua's mind slowly gathered up.
She remembered that when she was in the dream before, Lu Xiang'er once said that Qi Shaoling was bewitched by Qi Yao and poisoned her, so...
"Did Duanmuyu imprison Qi Shaoling because of Qi Shaoling poisoning me?"
"Yes!" Ziba didn't expect Zhang Xiaohua to know about this, so she was stunned for a moment, but then she hurriedly said, "But I have already explained everything to Shaoling, last night she She already knew she was wrong. It was a moment when she—”
"I know." Zhang Xiaohua understood why Qi Shaoling would do this without Ziba saying.
Since Qi Mingyue's death, Qi Shaoling's spirit has been in a tense state, and her whole body is fragile and sensitive.
Qi Yao intends to use it, and it is indeed not something Qi Shaoling can deal with casually.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua didn't blame Qi Shaoling that much.But the current chaotic situation was indeed caused by Qi Shaoling.
It's really not that easy to say forgiveness.But when it comes to blaming or punishing, for Zhang Xiaohua, she doesn't think that's necessary.
And she believed that Duanmu Yu's purpose of putting Qi Shaoling in the dungeon was to make Qi Shaoling suffer and improve his memory. After all, if Duanmuyu wanted Qi Shaoling to die, he should have done it long ago.
"It's okay for me to let her out, but... But everything today is caused by her, and it's a bit difficult to be acquitted." Zhang Xiaohua was very gentle when she spoke, and she herself was not the kind of person who would speak harshly. talker.
After Ziba heard this, he immediately pursed his lips, and said firmly, "Let me be punished for her, is that okay?"
"No..." Although Zhang Xiaohua didn't know exactly what kind of relationship between Zibat and Qi Shaoling, she firmly opposed Zibat's so-called punishment in lieu of punishment, "That's what she committed. If she is wrong, she should be punished!"
"Then..." The blood on Zibat's face suddenly faded, "With Madam's
meaning is--"
"Although she was used by others, it was also because she was immature and too reckless." Thinking about Qi Shaoling's naivete more than two years ago, but now she has become like this, Zhang Xiaohua felt so melancholy in her heart, she couldn't help but sighed, "Now the monarch is sleepy, so let her go to the temple, copy scriptures and chant Buddha to pray for the monarch every day, and cultivate her mind in peace. As for the future... we will wait Duanmuyu will make a decision after he wakes up, okay?"
"Good! Good! Naturally, it's very good!" Such a result was completely beyond Zibat's expectations.
Looking at the purple bat with a happy face, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but bend the corner of her mouth, but she said immediately, "But there is one thing that I must make clear to you in advance."
"Ma'am, please tell me!"
"The situation is tense now, you must first fulfill your responsibility to protect Duanmu Yu, and put other things aside for now, okay?"
"Okay!" As long as Qi Shaoling can be hugged for life, as long as Qi Shaoling can be saved from harsh punishment, Zi Bat can say anything.
"Okay then, hurry up to send a message, and then hurry back after saying goodbye." Zhang Xiaohua poured the warm tea in the cup into her throat, "Asahi Palace is still waiting for you to guard it. "
After the purple bat left, Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and looked out the window.
It was originally calm outside, but now it was snowing.
Winter has really come...
On the other side, in the review hall.
Duanmu Nian walked into the review hall with steady steps. He glanced at all the ministers present, then slightly lowered his eyebrows, turned and sat down.
"Little prince." The first person to stand up was an unknown minister, "I heard that the monarch is ill, what is the reason?"
"It's just an occasional cold." Duanmu Nian said calmly according to Zhang Xiaohua's instructions just now, "The Queen Mother is naturally loose and doesn't like to be restrained. Now that she sees that Bengong can bear the burden, she wants to live a more relaxed life. Days, so I will come to the court again in the future, I would like to ask all the adults to give me a lot of guidance."
"According to what the little prince said, does the monarch intend to take the Zen throne?"
"I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to speculate on the holy will like this. The empress has plans for the empress. I advise you not to guess." After Duanmu Nian finished speaking steadily, he turned his head and glanced at the people who came later Deng Li.
This time, Deng Li smiled affirmatively at Duanmianian.
It's just that the moment of calm was only for a moment, just when Duanmian thought he had shocked everyone, Qi Yongzhuo, who had been standing by the side without speaking, suddenly stood up.
When he saw Qi Yongzhuo, Duanmu Nian's expression changed drastically, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
After Qi Yongzhuo took a step forward, he immediately reached out to his skirt, and unexpectedly began to unbutton his clothes.
"Left Prime Minister, what are you doing!" Duanmu Nian frowned.
But Qi Yongzhuo didn't answer, and just continued to do what he was doing silently.
And after Qi Yongzhuo unbuttoned all the buttons on his clothes, he took off his coat as soon as he raised his hand.
At the same time, everyone discovered that Qi Yongzhuo was wearing a pure white—mourning dress under his coat!
"Left Prime Minister! Now that I am here to meet you adults according to the emperor's order, Zuo Prime Minister suddenly undressed, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Duanmu Nian frowned, his immature face decorated with anger to be extraordinarily peaceful So much so that people can see that there is no pressure at all.
Zhang Xiaohua also explained to Duanmu Nian before that he is small and small, so it is natural that he has a small aura and cannot suppress others.But the most important thing is that you must not panic after encountering something. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be steady in order to find life.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Nian quickly took a deep breath, and while steadying himself, he looked at Qi Yongzhuo lightly.
And at this moment, Qi Yongzhuo suddenly knelt in front of the hall.
"My son died tragically in prison, I hope the little prince can thoroughly investigate this matter
! "Qi Yongzhuo lowered his head and repeated word by word, "My son died tragically in prison, and I hope the little prince can thoroughly investigate this matter!" "
……
"Master Zuo has something to say." Duanmu Nian said calmly, "Before, I asked the imperial physician to examine the empress's body in front of you, and the imperial physician proved that it was the empress who took the poison herself, and no one framed her !"
"I'm wronged!" Qi Yongzhuo howled loudly.
Duanmu Nian had already expected that he would be like this, so he said calmly, "The Prime Minister Zuo feels that he has been wronged!"
"My son has been in the palace for many years. He has taken good care of the harem for the monarch. He has been conscientious and has never slacked off. He was framed before, saying that he killed the princess and the unborn child in the womb. For this reason, the monarch sent him to heaven. How did my son suffer from such hardships since he was a child? Besides, it is a great shame for him to be imprisoned by the queen! It is because of this that my son could not bear the torture in his heart and committed suicide by taking poison! "
Qi Yongzhuo spoke so eloquently and emotionally that people really couldn't help but become emotional.
but--
"The queen sent someone to kill the concubine, but it was testified by others. It's a certainty. Where did the injustice come from?" Duanmu Nian raised a question.
But Qi Yongzhuo said eloquently, "Isn't it weird that the person who testified hanged himself in prison after telling the truth about my son? Besides, my son and the princess are brothers and sisters. They have a harmonious relationship. How can you kill him?"
"Someone deliberately killed the princess, and then planted it on my son! I hope the little prince will clearly investigate this matter!"
"I hope the little prince will see this matter clearly!"
"I hope the little prince will see this matter clearly!"
……
Before Duanmianian could speak, officials one after another followed Qi Yongzhuo and knelt down in front of Duanmianian.
It seems that this is the purpose of Qi Yongzhuo entering the palace this time!
"Okay!" Faced with waves of pleadings, Duanmu Nian slapped his hands on the case and shouted, "I will ask people to investigate this matter again! If it is not as Zuoxiang said, then I also hope that the Prime Minister on the left will stop thinking about it, and hurry up and let the queen be buried in peace!"
"Sir! Thank you, little prince." Qi Yongzhuo finally achieved his goal, and immediately restrained himself.
However, when he raised his head to look at Duanmu Nian, his expression was old and his eyes were cloudy.He is old, not what he used to be.
And Qi Yao's departure made him realize a lot.
Rights, perhaps not important at all.The important thing is that he can't let his son die in vain...
Seven days later, Zhang Xiaohua was already asleep, but Deng Li suddenly knocked on her door in the middle of the night.
"My lord... My lord, she—"
Seeing that Deng Li's expression was wrong, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt empty, "I'll go over now!" Before Deng Li could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaohua hurried back to the room and changed her clothes, and then hurried to Chaosun Palace.
On the way, Deng Li said that Feng Xiaoxiao took care of Duanmu Yu for the past two days. Although Duanmu Yu didn't improve, everything was normal.
It's just that at night, Duanmu Yu suddenly had a fever, and his condition became more and more wrong.Feng Xiaoxiao tried everything but failed to stabilize Duanmu Yu's condition, so they came to find Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua was wearing a jacket, stepped on the snow with one foot, and hurried to Chaosun Palace.
Today's Asahi Palace is much more lively than before.only--
"How is she?" Zhang Xiaohua asked Feng Xiaoxiao while taking off her coat as soon as she entered the room.
Feng Xiaoxiao held the ice handkerchief in his hand, and shook his head helplessly, "No, it's burning badly, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight."
"No way!" Holding the jacket in her hand, Zhang Xiaohua shouted loudly.
Everyone present was frightened, and Zhang Xiaohua was also frightened by herself.
Ever since Duanmu Yu passed out, Zhang Xiaohua's mood fluctuated a bit.
"She will be fine." Zhang Xiaohua
Taking a deep breath, after speaking calmly, she handed the jacket in her hand to Deng Li, then turned around and went into the room.
In the inner room, Duanmu Yu was lying on her bed.
These days, Zhang Xiaohua was afraid of making people feel strange, so she never dared to visit Duanmu Yu at Chaosun Palace.
When I saw him now, it was only a short period of seven days, and Duanmu Yu actually lost a lot of weight.
Looking at Duanmu Yu, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes couldn't help turning red.
"Actually, her body is already... not good enough." Feng Xiaoxiao knew that Zhang Xiaohua was sad, but the matter was already at hand, and it seemed unnecessary to pretend, act or lie, "You should do it earlier Make plans."
"No! No!" Zhang Xiaohua was very firm.
Especially after she was sure that what Lu Xianger said about Qi Shaoling in her dream was true, she was even more convinced that everything was not just a dream.
She believed, and firmly believed that Duanmu Yu would wake up.
She will definitely wake up!
"You will wake up, right?" Zhang Xiaohua took the ice handkerchief in Feng Xiaoxiao's hand, and gently wiped Duanmu Yu's cheeks, neck and collarbone.
She just sleeps there...
Sweeter than ever.
"You used to be very nervous, and you would wake up at the slightest disturbance." Zhang Xiaohua sniffed and forced herself to smile.
She wanted to be happy, what if Duanmu Yu was the same as she was back then, and could see herself in the dream?
She didn't want Duanmu Yu to see that she was too ugly, otherwise she would be laughed at by Duanmu Yu again!
Thinking about it, the smile on Zhang Xiaohua's face gradually became a little more natural.
"If you can't wake up, I'll go find you! Then I'll catch you and beat you up, you know?" Looking at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help wrinkling the bridge of her nose and making a grimace.
When Deng Li heard this, he was a little anxious, "Ma'am, you can't—"
"Don't worry, Duanmuyu won't be willing to let me die." Zhang Xiaohua knew Deng Li's worry, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "So, Duanmuyu will definitely wake up!"
Looking at Duanmu Yu, Zhang Xiaohua was extremely determined.
"Okay, you guys go and rest." Zhang Xiaohua came back to her senses, "I'll be with her tonight, nothing will happen."
"Ma'am, let us—"
"No, Ziba and Deng Li, you two are exhausted these days, let me take care of her." Zhang Xiaohua said with a gentle smile, "I'll be by her side, she will get better sooner."
They didn't say anything about Zhang Xiaohua's insistence.
Just looking at Zhang Xiaohua, Feng Xiaoxiao's seriousness showed a trace of worry.
"Girl, I advise you not to be too sad, sometimes being too persistent is not a good thing." Feng Xiaoxiao glanced at Duanmu Yu on the bed, and couldn't help sighing, "I saved her life, she After staying with me for so long, I have always treated her like a daughter, and now that she looks like this, it hurts my heart. But..."
"But sometimes people have to learn to let go." Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xiaohua lovingly, "If you persist and refuse to let go, the string in your hand will break sooner or later, you know?"
"I know! I know!" She was just unwilling, unwilling, "She is not in good health now, but Lu Xianger used to—"
"Lu Xianger has been dead for many years!" Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed over and hugged Zhang Xiaohua, choked up and said, "My girl, wake up, Lu Xianger is dead, she can't say anything to you Yes. Duanmu Yu's body can no longer hold on, so stop being stubborn! She is going to leave, to leave you!"
……
Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, the tears in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes finally couldn't hold back and fell down.
She knows, she really knows, she knows everything...
but,
But as long as Duanmu Yu still has breath, there is still hope!
She didn't want to give up, really didn't want to give up.
"I will let go, mother-in-law, I will." Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips, the taste of salty tears made her feel bitter, "It's just...just give me a chance before I let go , let me hold on for a while, just for a while..."
"You silly girl, you just don't want to give up!" Feng Xiaoxiao knew what he was talking about, and Zhang Xiaohua would not change her mind.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua being so determined, Feng Xiaoxiao felt a little amused.
An old woman of her age, she hasn't fully understood her own life yet, and she still has to teach others.
Forget it!
Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head, "You can watch over her, I'll cook you something to eat, don't be hungry at night."
……
Night, silently.
Zhang Xiaohua sat next to Duanmu Yu, she wanted to hug Duanmu Yu, but she was afraid that she would be able to touch her, so after struggling for a long time, she finally chose to sit there.
Just to get closer to Duanmu Yu, she twisted her arms and legs and sat in a weird posture.After a long time, my hands and feet are a little out of control.
"It's already dawn, go and rest." Feng Xiaoxiao walked over and patted Zhang Xiaohua, "I've been guarding all night, don't tire yourself out."
Zhang Xiaohua guarded Duanmu Yu all night, Feng Xiaoxiao guarded Zhang Xiaohua all night, she saw everything in her eyes, she really felt sorry for this child.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, but she still sat there without moving a bit.
"I don't think she's burned anymore." Zhang Xiaohua touched Duanmu Yu's forehead, "Look, mother-in-law, is she already healed?"
Feng Xiaoxiao put her hand on Duanmu Yu's wrist, and then she suddenly frowned.
Zhang Xiaohua suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong? She... something happened to her?"
"No." Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head, she was still frowning, but her face was full of confusion, "Her pulse looks much stronger than before, and... her heart pulse seems to be getting better slowly .”
"Then does this mean that she will wake up?" Zhang Xiaohua grabbed Feng Xiaoxiao as if she saw hope.
Feng Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head, "I don't know if she will wake up. I only know that her current pulse condition is better than before. If she takes good care of her, she might be able to—"
"Needless to say, maybe!" Zhang Xiaohua excitedly said, "She will definitely be able to wake up, she will definitely be able to!"
After finishing speaking, she sat up directly from the bed, but accidentally, she hit the bed frame directly.
But it doesn't hurt at all!
Really, it doesn't hurt at all!
Zhang Xiaohua rubbed her head with a smile, "Mother-in-law, help me take good care of her. I'll go back first, and I'll see you later!"
"You girl, I'm just giving you a little hope, I hope you'll be happy!" After hearing the news that Duan Muyu's body had recovered, the big rock in Feng Xiaoxiao's heart was also removed all of a sudden.
However, I am afraid that sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoxiao turned her head melancholy to look at Duanmu Yu on the bed.
Hearing good news from Feng Xiaoxiao early this morning, Zhang Xiaohua felt that her mood was sweeter than eating honey.
Unfortunately, before she was happy for too long, her mood was completely ruined by the news brought by Duanmu Nian.
"Snow disaster in the south, several places were buried!" Duanmu Nian said worriedly, "I have sent people to help, but the disaster is too serious, many houses are crushed, food is covered by snow. And many people are still trapped In the mountain, this...how should I do this?"
"Snow disaster?" It was the first time Zhang Xiaohua heard about it.
"Yes, the snow fell heavily this year, which is rare in a hundred years."
No wonder then.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, "The snow disaster is nothing more than other things. In addition to manpower, measures must be taken to keep out the cold."
"These have already been sent to do it."
"In that case, why are you so flustered?"
"I..." Duanmu Nian suddenly became embarrassed, "This time the snowstorm came suddenly, there is not enough money in the treasury...the treasury."
"how come?"
"Last year's flood, the empress transferred a large amount of money, the national treasury was not very full, plus the various funerals a while ago, the national treasury..."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Xiaohua knew what kind of situation it was without Duanmu Nian going on.
Duanmuyu reduced taxes, which led to a reduction in the silver in the treasury.Once it costs more, there will definitely not be much left.
"How much do you need now?" Zhang Xiaohua walked to the table and took out an abacus from the side as soon as he reached out.
Duanmu Nian was not the one to settle these matters, but according to those people's notes, Zhang Xiaohua reckoned.
"Five million taels of silver." Zhang Xiaohua looked at the abacus in front of him and sighed suddenly.
"Deng Li and I have already done the calculations. Even if we transfer from various places, we can't transfer such a large amount of money. If there is no such money, we will not be able to buy enough food and cotton clothes. The ministers of the DPRK and China have been urging Me, let me increase the tax rate and directly ask the people for money, but I... I remember that the adults said that things should be people-oriented, so I can't bear it. But...but..."
Looking at Duanmu Nian who looked embarrassed, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly stood up firmly, "It's okay!"
"My lord?" Duanmu Nian was startled.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will pay the money!"
This is probably the most confident thing Zhang Xiaohua has said in her entire life!
Back then, Zhang Xiaohua always thought that if Duanmu Yu quit and the two of them left the palace together, she would naturally take on the responsibility of raising Duanmu Yu.
So in the last two years, Zhang Xiaohua has sharpened her head and tried to make money.
The so-called increasing income and reducing expenditure, it is a bit difficult to reduce expenditure, so Zhang Xiaohua has thoroughly done the matter of increasing income.
From farming to selling tea, from opening a farm to opening a restaurant, Zhang Xiaohua has gone through the food industry thoroughly, and then she has done several planning projects in her free time, allowing Purple Bat to expand the food industry chain from the restaurant to some extent. Development of basic foods.
Anyway, during that time, Zhang Xiaohua only had to open her mouth, and Zibat and the others could find ways to do the rest as long as they were told.
Of course, apart from the food industry, Zhang Xiaohua followed the trend and invested in real estate when she found out that she had a lot of money.
After all, what to do to make money, and then get richer and richer.
Zhang Xiaohua finally understands what it means to "earn him [-] million first!" Because in many cases, if you have money, you will become richer and richer!
For Zhang Xiaohua, 500 million taels of silver is indeed not a difficult task.
But what makes Zhang Xiaohua difficult is how she will transfer the money into the national treasury.
When Zhang Xiaohua was thinking hard, Deng Litong said, "Dong Haining and Feng Se are back!"
Seeing the two of them, Zhang Xiaohua immediately thought of a solution.
"You asked us to pretend to be rich people to donate money? My goddaughter, you'll let me lie to you as soon as I come back, isn't that good..." Dong Haining twitched a bit.
But when she saw the rows of silver, she nodded without thinking.Then with a big wave of her hand, after buying a jaw-droppingly expensive outfit, she boldly transported the large sum of money to the treasury.
Afterwards, Dong Haining and Feng Se moved into the mansion and became rich.
But after such a long time, it will make people feel troubled.
"Now there are a lot of people queuing up every day to find
Us, I'm getting bored to death. "Dong Haining is still acting like a fool.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at it, and thought it was a little funny, "It's fine to deal with them casually."
"I can deal with other people as I like, but that... that person from the Qi family can't!"
"Qi's family?" Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua became interested, "Did they ask you for something?"
"His family always sent someone to pass on the message, and he refused once or twice, and the third time. It's so annoying! He's an official, why do you want me to be a businessman?" Dong Haining crossed his legs and pointed at Zhang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows and said, "And because he jumped too much in front of me! I paid close attention to this Qi family, and I found...they seem to have made a big move recently."
"Big move?"
"They spent a lot of money recently! I heard it when I went out to drink. Their family sold several properties and made a lot of money, but no money shop has ever received this money. Are you surprised? "
???
More arrears than can't track down?This is indeed suspicious.
Deng Li hesitated for a moment, because he thought of what Feng Xiaoxiao had explained before, so after weighing it up, he smiled respectfully and said, "Madam is not feeling well, please rest for now, this servant brought the little prince—"
"Deng Li, what are you doing? Are you planning to say nothing to me?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned and glanced at Deng Li.
Deng Li was a little embarrassed, "Madam's body——"
"I know my body very well! And even if I need to rest, don't I even have the right to know?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but raise her voice a little.
Duanmu Nian at the side quickly stopped Zhang Xiaohua, and said softly, "Don't be angry, my lord, I'll just say it..."
After finishing speaking, Duanmu Nian nodded to Deng Li, and then told what happened just now.
It turned out that after Deng Li informed the Qi family of Qi Yao's death according to Duanmu Yu's order, Qi Yongzhuo was deeply saddened, and he immediately went to the palace to see Duanmu Yu.
It's just that Duanmu Yu had already left with Zhang Xiaohua at that time, so Deng Li searched for a long time but couldn't find Duanmu Yu's trace, so naturally he had no way to deal with Qi Yongzhuo.
But in the face of the pain of bereavement, Qi Yongzhuo is relentless.
In desperation, Deng Li went to find Duanmian and asked Duanmian to suppress Qi Yongzhuo as a prince.
And Qi Yongzhuo has always suspected that someone murdered Qi Yao, so Duanmu Nian asked the imperial physician to examine Qi Yao's body, and after confirming that Qi Yao committed suicide, Duanmu Nian asked Qi Yongzhuo to go back.
They originally thought that after they found Duanmu Yu, they would let Duanmu Yu deal with this matter again.
only now...
Duanmuyu fell asleep, and now Qi Yongzhuo came back with a group of ministers, making it clear that he wanted to make things difficult for others.
"The matter of Duanmu Yu cannot be publicized!" After listening to Duanmu Nian's overview, Zhang Xiaohua carefully considered all the matters.
The political situation in the Dazhao Dynasty was already unstable, but now it can be stabilized thanks to Duanmuyu's thunderous means.
That group of old things, usually restrained because they were afraid of Duanmu Yu, now if they knew that Duanmu Yu had passed out, wouldn't they be shocked!
"Deng Li." Zhang Xiaohua looked over with a serious face, "You should be the one who helped Duanmu Yu draw up the plan for so many years, right?"
"Yes." Deng Li nodded, but there was some hesitation in his eyes, "Madam means..."
"Use Duanmu Yu's tone to draw up a decree, just say that Duanmu Yu has been feeling unwell recently, and the little prince has also reached the age of starting to get in touch with government affairs, so he will let the little prince take care of the government affairs recently, and she will briefly review them while recuperating. Important government affairs." After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking every word, she turned her head and looked at Duanmu Nian.
Duanmu Nian's eyes were burning and his expression was sassy.Looking back a few months ago, this child was still immature, but now he has to mature and stabilize in the face of reality.
While Zhang Xiaohua felt distressed, she felt even more relieved.
"In the next few days, you... will have to take on the big beam." Zhang Xiaohua touched Duanmu Yu's head and said, "But don't be afraid, I will accompany you."
"I'm not afraid!" Duanmu Nian nodded with certainty, "With my lord, and with the protection of my lord, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled happily and turned to look at Deng Li.But Deng Li frowns tightly, and he doesn't move.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Deng Li nodded, "Madam should know that without the monarch's signal, drafting a will without permission is—"
"You should be clearer than anyone else about the political situation in the court. Both Prime Minister Zuo and You Cheng are afraid of Duanmu Yu and stand still. If they know that Duanmu Yu is asleep at this time, they will definitely have a different mind. Think better, They may be fighting for each other's power more and more openly. But on the downside...you should know better than anyone what they will do
Chu. "
After listening to Zhang Xiaohua's words, Deng Li's lips could not help but curl into a line.
"Don't worry, if Duanmu Yu pursues it in the future, I will naturally bear it alone." Zhang Xiaohua lowered her eyes and said seriously, "Even if someone makes things difficult for you in the future, you can just withdraw me alone!"
"My lord!" Duanmu Nian quietly held Zhang Xiaohua's hand.
Zhang Xiaohua patted his fleshy palm comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
……
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to Zhang Xiaohua's wishes.
Deng Li went to draw up the decree, and Zhang Xiaohua personally pressed Duanmuyu's jade seal, and then announced it to the world.
"Asahi Palace, have you made all the arrangements?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Deng Li with some uneasiness.
Deng Li nodded, "The Monarch is under the care of the Poison Doctor Immortal, and everyone in the palace can be trusted. In addition, the purple bat will stay there all day."
"Very good!" Zhang Xiaohua nodded, then turned her head to look at Duanmu Nian, "Next, it's time for you to play."
Although Duanmu Yu had let Duanmu Nian take charge before, the situation that time was different from the last time.
The previous time, even if something happened, Duanmu Yu could stand up to it.But now...
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes suddenly darkened, "Duanmuyu...is she alright?"
Deng Li didn't expect that Zhang Xiaohua would suddenly ask about Duanmu Yu, so he was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses, nodded to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Your Majesty, everything is fine, Madam, please rest assured."
Don't worry?
How can you rest assured?
Although Zhang Xiaohua is not proficient in human micro-expressions, she and Deng Li have been together for a long time, and she can still see something from Deng Li's expression.
The so-called "everything is fine" are nothing more than comforting words.
But at this moment, a comforting word is enough, what else can she hope for?
Zhang Xiaohua raised her head and looked out the window.
The sun outside the window was bright, there was no wind, and everything was so calm that it made people feel scared.
When Qian Muyu was around, he relied on Duanmu Yu for everything.But now that Duanmu Yu is gone, that Zhang Xiaohua has to stir up all the troubles!
She believed, and firmly believed that Duanmu Yu would wake up.
Most definitely!
Definitely, definitely will!
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaohua took a deep breath, and after calming down, she patted Duanmu Nian on the shoulder and said, "Go to the government review hall, remember to take your time and guard against arrogance and impetuosity! Your mother Looking at you, don't be afraid of anything! If those old things dare to bully you, I will beat them up for you!"
Duanmu Nian, who was still a little nervous, couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, "Okay!"
Watching Duanmu Nian go away, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly noticed that Deng Li was still standing beside him, showing no intention of leaving.
"What's the matter? Is there something else?" Zhang Xiaohua poured a cup of hot tea, and warmed her slightly cold fingers against the temperature of the cup.
Deng Li walked to Zhang Xiaohua's side, bowed slightly and said, "There is something that needs to be decided by Madam."
"What's the matter? Tell me." After a long time of tossing, Zhang Xiaohua was actually tired, but she still looked at Deng Li vigorously.
Deng Li pursed his lips, but he didn't speak, but turned his head and looked away.
Just when Zhang Xiaohua felt strange and was about to follow Deng Li's gaze, she saw a black shadow covering it.
It turned out to be a purple bat!
"What's the matter? Are you busy?" Zhang Xiaohua was really tired.
Now that there are many crises outside, it is okay to keep your mind and energy on dealing with outsiders. She really doesn't want to waste it on Deng Li and Ziba, two people Duanmu Yu trusts 100%
time.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Zhang Xiaohua was very straightforward, "If I can make the decision, I will do it. If not, then...then you all don't waste time on me."
After the words fell, the purple bat suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Xiaohua with a "plop".
This sudden movement obviously frightened Zhang Xiaohua.
"You...you...what are you doing?" Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly reached out to help.
But Ziba stopped Zhang Xiaohua and insisted on kneeling.
"What are you doing? Which song are you singing?" Seeing that the purple bat couldn't move, Zhang Xiaohua could only turn her head to look at Deng Li.
Deng Li was fine, he turned around and left the room, and silently closed the door.
Ah!
He co-authored and sold her like this...
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help sneering, but she quickly recovered and looked at the purple bat in front of her. She said sternly, "Get up quickly, and just speak up if you have anything to say. Don't do such nonsense. If you kneel again Come on, I... I'll be angry! I won't promise you anything then!"
Even though Zhang Xiaohua had already threatened, but the purple bat remained motionless, Zhang Xiaohua had completely given up.
And at this moment, the purple bat suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaohua with red eyes, "Please madam... Please spare the young man's life!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaohua felt that she was in a fog.
Young?
What age?
"Qi Shaoling?" Zhang Xiaohua carefully filtered the people she knew, only then did she realize that among the people she knew, only Qi Shaoling seemed to have such a name.
But she was even more confused, "What's wrong with Qi Shaoling?"
"Now she is secretly imprisoned in the water prison by the order of the monarch. Madam should know that a place like a water prison is not something a weak woman can stay in. She...she..."
After what Ziba said, some broken memories in Zhang Xiaohua's mind slowly gathered up.
She remembered that when she was in the dream before, Lu Xiang'er once said that Qi Shaoling was bewitched by Qi Yao and poisoned her, so...
"Did Duanmuyu imprison Qi Shaoling because of Qi Shaoling poisoning me?"
"Yes!" Ziba didn't expect Zhang Xiaohua to know about this, so she was stunned for a moment, but then she hurriedly said, "But I have already explained everything to Shaoling, last night she She already knew she was wrong. It was a moment when she—”
"I know." Zhang Xiaohua understood why Qi Shaoling would do this without Ziba saying.
Since Qi Mingyue's death, Qi Shaoling's spirit has been in a tense state, and her whole body is fragile and sensitive.
Qi Yao intends to use it, and it is indeed not something Qi Shaoling can deal with casually.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua didn't blame Qi Shaoling that much.But the current chaotic situation was indeed caused by Qi Shaoling.
It's really not that easy to say forgiveness.But when it comes to blaming or punishing, for Zhang Xiaohua, she doesn't think that's necessary.
And she believed that Duanmu Yu's purpose of putting Qi Shaoling in the dungeon was to make Qi Shaoling suffer and improve his memory. After all, if Duanmuyu wanted Qi Shaoling to die, he should have done it long ago.
"It's okay for me to let her out, but... But everything today is caused by her, and it's a bit difficult to be acquitted." Zhang Xiaohua was very gentle when she spoke, and she herself was not the kind of person who would speak harshly. talker.
After Ziba heard this, he immediately pursed his lips, and said firmly, "Let me be punished for her, is that okay?"
"No..." Although Zhang Xiaohua didn't know exactly what kind of relationship between Zibat and Qi Shaoling, she firmly opposed Zibat's so-called punishment in lieu of punishment, "That's what she committed. If she is wrong, she should be punished!"
"Then..." The blood on Zibat's face suddenly faded, "With Madam's
meaning is--"
"Although she was used by others, it was also because she was immature and too reckless." Thinking about Qi Shaoling's naivete more than two years ago, but now she has become like this, Zhang Xiaohua felt so melancholy in her heart, she couldn't help but sighed, "Now the monarch is sleepy, so let her go to the temple, copy scriptures and chant Buddha to pray for the monarch every day, and cultivate her mind in peace. As for the future... we will wait Duanmuyu will make a decision after he wakes up, okay?"
"Good! Good! Naturally, it's very good!" Such a result was completely beyond Zibat's expectations.
Looking at the purple bat with a happy face, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but bend the corner of her mouth, but she said immediately, "But there is one thing that I must make clear to you in advance."
"Ma'am, please tell me!"
"The situation is tense now, you must first fulfill your responsibility to protect Duanmu Yu, and put other things aside for now, okay?"
"Okay!" As long as Qi Shaoling can be hugged for life, as long as Qi Shaoling can be saved from harsh punishment, Zi Bat can say anything.
"Okay then, hurry up to send a message, and then hurry back after saying goodbye." Zhang Xiaohua poured the warm tea in the cup into her throat, "Asahi Palace is still waiting for you to guard it. "
After the purple bat left, Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and looked out the window.
It was originally calm outside, but now it was snowing.
Winter has really come...
On the other side, in the review hall.
Duanmu Nian walked into the review hall with steady steps. He glanced at all the ministers present, then slightly lowered his eyebrows, turned and sat down.
"Little prince." The first person to stand up was an unknown minister, "I heard that the monarch is ill, what is the reason?"
"It's just an occasional cold." Duanmu Nian said calmly according to Zhang Xiaohua's instructions just now, "The Queen Mother is naturally loose and doesn't like to be restrained. Now that she sees that Bengong can bear the burden, she wants to live a more relaxed life. Days, so I will come to the court again in the future, I would like to ask all the adults to give me a lot of guidance."
"According to what the little prince said, does the monarch intend to take the Zen throne?"
"I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to speculate on the holy will like this. The empress has plans for the empress. I advise you not to guess." After Duanmu Nian finished speaking steadily, he turned his head and glanced at the people who came later Deng Li.
This time, Deng Li smiled affirmatively at Duanmianian.
It's just that the moment of calm was only for a moment, just when Duanmian thought he had shocked everyone, Qi Yongzhuo, who had been standing by the side without speaking, suddenly stood up.
When he saw Qi Yongzhuo, Duanmu Nian's expression changed drastically, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
After Qi Yongzhuo took a step forward, he immediately reached out to his skirt, and unexpectedly began to unbutton his clothes.
"Left Prime Minister, what are you doing!" Duanmu Nian frowned.
But Qi Yongzhuo didn't answer, and just continued to do what he was doing silently.
And after Qi Yongzhuo unbuttoned all the buttons on his clothes, he took off his coat as soon as he raised his hand.
At the same time, everyone discovered that Qi Yongzhuo was wearing a pure white—mourning dress under his coat!
"Left Prime Minister! Now that I am here to meet you adults according to the emperor's order, Zuo Prime Minister suddenly undressed, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Duanmu Nian frowned, his immature face decorated with anger to be extraordinarily peaceful So much so that people can see that there is no pressure at all.
Zhang Xiaohua also explained to Duanmu Nian before that he is small and small, so it is natural that he has a small aura and cannot suppress others.But the most important thing is that you must not panic after encountering something. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be steady in order to find life.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Nian quickly took a deep breath, and while steadying himself, he looked at Qi Yongzhuo lightly.
And at this moment, Qi Yongzhuo suddenly knelt in front of the hall.
"My son died tragically in prison, I hope the little prince can thoroughly investigate this matter
! "Qi Yongzhuo lowered his head and repeated word by word, "My son died tragically in prison, and I hope the little prince can thoroughly investigate this matter!" "
……
"Master Zuo has something to say." Duanmu Nian said calmly, "Before, I asked the imperial physician to examine the empress's body in front of you, and the imperial physician proved that it was the empress who took the poison herself, and no one framed her !"
"I'm wronged!" Qi Yongzhuo howled loudly.
Duanmu Nian had already expected that he would be like this, so he said calmly, "The Prime Minister Zuo feels that he has been wronged!"
"My son has been in the palace for many years. He has taken good care of the harem for the monarch. He has been conscientious and has never slacked off. He was framed before, saying that he killed the princess and the unborn child in the womb. For this reason, the monarch sent him to heaven. How did my son suffer from such hardships since he was a child? Besides, it is a great shame for him to be imprisoned by the queen! It is because of this that my son could not bear the torture in his heart and committed suicide by taking poison! "
Qi Yongzhuo spoke so eloquently and emotionally that people really couldn't help but become emotional.
but--
"The queen sent someone to kill the concubine, but it was testified by others. It's a certainty. Where did the injustice come from?" Duanmu Nian raised a question.
But Qi Yongzhuo said eloquently, "Isn't it weird that the person who testified hanged himself in prison after telling the truth about my son? Besides, my son and the princess are brothers and sisters. They have a harmonious relationship. How can you kill him?"
"Someone deliberately killed the princess, and then planted it on my son! I hope the little prince will clearly investigate this matter!"
"I hope the little prince will see this matter clearly!"
"I hope the little prince will see this matter clearly!"
……
Before Duanmianian could speak, officials one after another followed Qi Yongzhuo and knelt down in front of Duanmianian.
It seems that this is the purpose of Qi Yongzhuo entering the palace this time!
"Okay!" Faced with waves of pleadings, Duanmu Nian slapped his hands on the case and shouted, "I will ask people to investigate this matter again! If it is not as Zuoxiang said, then I also hope that the Prime Minister on the left will stop thinking about it, and hurry up and let the queen be buried in peace!"
"Sir! Thank you, little prince." Qi Yongzhuo finally achieved his goal, and immediately restrained himself.
However, when he raised his head to look at Duanmu Nian, his expression was old and his eyes were cloudy.He is old, not what he used to be.
And Qi Yao's departure made him realize a lot.
Rights, perhaps not important at all.The important thing is that he can't let his son die in vain...
Seven days later, Zhang Xiaohua was already asleep, but Deng Li suddenly knocked on her door in the middle of the night.
"My lord... My lord, she—"
Seeing that Deng Li's expression was wrong, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt empty, "I'll go over now!" Before Deng Li could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaohua hurried back to the room and changed her clothes, and then hurried to Chaosun Palace.
On the way, Deng Li said that Feng Xiaoxiao took care of Duanmu Yu for the past two days. Although Duanmu Yu didn't improve, everything was normal.
It's just that at night, Duanmu Yu suddenly had a fever, and his condition became more and more wrong.Feng Xiaoxiao tried everything but failed to stabilize Duanmu Yu's condition, so they came to find Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua was wearing a jacket, stepped on the snow with one foot, and hurried to Chaosun Palace.
Today's Asahi Palace is much more lively than before.only--
"How is she?" Zhang Xiaohua asked Feng Xiaoxiao while taking off her coat as soon as she entered the room.
Feng Xiaoxiao held the ice handkerchief in his hand, and shook his head helplessly, "No, it's burning badly, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight."
"No way!" Holding the jacket in her hand, Zhang Xiaohua shouted loudly.
Everyone present was frightened, and Zhang Xiaohua was also frightened by herself.
Ever since Duanmu Yu passed out, Zhang Xiaohua's mood fluctuated a bit.
"She will be fine." Zhang Xiaohua
Taking a deep breath, after speaking calmly, she handed the jacket in her hand to Deng Li, then turned around and went into the room.
In the inner room, Duanmu Yu was lying on her bed.
These days, Zhang Xiaohua was afraid of making people feel strange, so she never dared to visit Duanmu Yu at Chaosun Palace.
When I saw him now, it was only a short period of seven days, and Duanmu Yu actually lost a lot of weight.
Looking at Duanmu Yu, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes couldn't help turning red.
"Actually, her body is already... not good enough." Feng Xiaoxiao knew that Zhang Xiaohua was sad, but the matter was already at hand, and it seemed unnecessary to pretend, act or lie, "You should do it earlier Make plans."
"No! No!" Zhang Xiaohua was very firm.
Especially after she was sure that what Lu Xianger said about Qi Shaoling in her dream was true, she was even more convinced that everything was not just a dream.
She believed, and firmly believed that Duanmu Yu would wake up.
She will definitely wake up!
"You will wake up, right?" Zhang Xiaohua took the ice handkerchief in Feng Xiaoxiao's hand, and gently wiped Duanmu Yu's cheeks, neck and collarbone.
She just sleeps there...
Sweeter than ever.
"You used to be very nervous, and you would wake up at the slightest disturbance." Zhang Xiaohua sniffed and forced herself to smile.
She wanted to be happy, what if Duanmu Yu was the same as she was back then, and could see herself in the dream?
She didn't want Duanmu Yu to see that she was too ugly, otherwise she would be laughed at by Duanmu Yu again!
Thinking about it, the smile on Zhang Xiaohua's face gradually became a little more natural.
"If you can't wake up, I'll go find you! Then I'll catch you and beat you up, you know?" Looking at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help wrinkling the bridge of her nose and making a grimace.
When Deng Li heard this, he was a little anxious, "Ma'am, you can't—"
"Don't worry, Duanmuyu won't be willing to let me die." Zhang Xiaohua knew Deng Li's worry, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "So, Duanmuyu will definitely wake up!"
Looking at Duanmu Yu, Zhang Xiaohua was extremely determined.
"Okay, you guys go and rest." Zhang Xiaohua came back to her senses, "I'll be with her tonight, nothing will happen."
"Ma'am, let us—"
"No, Ziba and Deng Li, you two are exhausted these days, let me take care of her." Zhang Xiaohua said with a gentle smile, "I'll be by her side, she will get better sooner."
They didn't say anything about Zhang Xiaohua's insistence.
Just looking at Zhang Xiaohua, Feng Xiaoxiao's seriousness showed a trace of worry.
"Girl, I advise you not to be too sad, sometimes being too persistent is not a good thing." Feng Xiaoxiao glanced at Duanmu Yu on the bed, and couldn't help sighing, "I saved her life, she After staying with me for so long, I have always treated her like a daughter, and now that she looks like this, it hurts my heart. But..."
"But sometimes people have to learn to let go." Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xiaohua lovingly, "If you persist and refuse to let go, the string in your hand will break sooner or later, you know?"
"I know! I know!" She was just unwilling, unwilling, "She is not in good health now, but Lu Xianger used to—"
"Lu Xianger has been dead for many years!" Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed over and hugged Zhang Xiaohua, choked up and said, "My girl, wake up, Lu Xianger is dead, she can't say anything to you Yes. Duanmu Yu's body can no longer hold on, so stop being stubborn! She is going to leave, to leave you!"
……
Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, the tears in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes finally couldn't hold back and fell down.
She knows, she really knows, she knows everything...
but,
But as long as Duanmu Yu still has breath, there is still hope!
She didn't want to give up, really didn't want to give up.
"I will let go, mother-in-law, I will." Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips, the taste of salty tears made her feel bitter, "It's just...just give me a chance before I let go , let me hold on for a while, just for a while..."
"You silly girl, you just don't want to give up!" Feng Xiaoxiao knew what he was talking about, and Zhang Xiaohua would not change her mind.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua being so determined, Feng Xiaoxiao felt a little amused.
An old woman of her age, she hasn't fully understood her own life yet, and she still has to teach others.
Forget it!
Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head, "You can watch over her, I'll cook you something to eat, don't be hungry at night."
……
Night, silently.
Zhang Xiaohua sat next to Duanmu Yu, she wanted to hug Duanmu Yu, but she was afraid that she would be able to touch her, so after struggling for a long time, she finally chose to sit there.
Just to get closer to Duanmu Yu, she twisted her arms and legs and sat in a weird posture.After a long time, my hands and feet are a little out of control.
"It's already dawn, go and rest." Feng Xiaoxiao walked over and patted Zhang Xiaohua, "I've been guarding all night, don't tire yourself out."
Zhang Xiaohua guarded Duanmu Yu all night, Feng Xiaoxiao guarded Zhang Xiaohua all night, she saw everything in her eyes, she really felt sorry for this child.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, but she still sat there without moving a bit.
"I don't think she's burned anymore." Zhang Xiaohua touched Duanmu Yu's forehead, "Look, mother-in-law, is she already healed?"
Feng Xiaoxiao put her hand on Duanmu Yu's wrist, and then she suddenly frowned.
Zhang Xiaohua suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong? She... something happened to her?"
"No." Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head, she was still frowning, but her face was full of confusion, "Her pulse looks much stronger than before, and... her heart pulse seems to be getting better slowly .”
"Then does this mean that she will wake up?" Zhang Xiaohua grabbed Feng Xiaoxiao as if she saw hope.
Feng Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head, "I don't know if she will wake up. I only know that her current pulse condition is better than before. If she takes good care of her, she might be able to—"
"Needless to say, maybe!" Zhang Xiaohua excitedly said, "She will definitely be able to wake up, she will definitely be able to!"
After finishing speaking, she sat up directly from the bed, but accidentally, she hit the bed frame directly.
But it doesn't hurt at all!
Really, it doesn't hurt at all!
Zhang Xiaohua rubbed her head with a smile, "Mother-in-law, help me take good care of her. I'll go back first, and I'll see you later!"
"You girl, I'm just giving you a little hope, I hope you'll be happy!" After hearing the news that Duan Muyu's body had recovered, the big rock in Feng Xiaoxiao's heart was also removed all of a sudden.
However, I am afraid that sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoxiao turned her head melancholy to look at Duanmu Yu on the bed.
Hearing good news from Feng Xiaoxiao early this morning, Zhang Xiaohua felt that her mood was sweeter than eating honey.
Unfortunately, before she was happy for too long, her mood was completely ruined by the news brought by Duanmu Nian.
"Snow disaster in the south, several places were buried!" Duanmu Nian said worriedly, "I have sent people to help, but the disaster is too serious, many houses are crushed, food is covered by snow. And many people are still trapped In the mountain, this...how should I do this?"
"Snow disaster?" It was the first time Zhang Xiaohua heard about it.
"Yes, the snow fell heavily this year, which is rare in a hundred years."
No wonder then.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, "The snow disaster is nothing more than other things. In addition to manpower, measures must be taken to keep out the cold."
"These have already been sent to do it."
"In that case, why are you so flustered?"
"I..." Duanmu Nian suddenly became embarrassed, "This time the snowstorm came suddenly, there is not enough money in the treasury...the treasury."
"how come?"
"Last year's flood, the empress transferred a large amount of money, the national treasury was not very full, plus the various funerals a while ago, the national treasury..."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Xiaohua knew what kind of situation it was without Duanmu Nian going on.
Duanmuyu reduced taxes, which led to a reduction in the silver in the treasury.Once it costs more, there will definitely not be much left.
"How much do you need now?" Zhang Xiaohua walked to the table and took out an abacus from the side as soon as he reached out.
Duanmu Nian was not the one to settle these matters, but according to those people's notes, Zhang Xiaohua reckoned.
"Five million taels of silver." Zhang Xiaohua looked at the abacus in front of him and sighed suddenly.
"Deng Li and I have already done the calculations. Even if we transfer from various places, we can't transfer such a large amount of money. If there is no such money, we will not be able to buy enough food and cotton clothes. The ministers of the DPRK and China have been urging Me, let me increase the tax rate and directly ask the people for money, but I... I remember that the adults said that things should be people-oriented, so I can't bear it. But...but..."
Looking at Duanmu Nian who looked embarrassed, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly stood up firmly, "It's okay!"
"My lord?" Duanmu Nian was startled.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will pay the money!"
This is probably the most confident thing Zhang Xiaohua has said in her entire life!
Back then, Zhang Xiaohua always thought that if Duanmu Yu quit and the two of them left the palace together, she would naturally take on the responsibility of raising Duanmu Yu.
So in the last two years, Zhang Xiaohua has sharpened her head and tried to make money.
The so-called increasing income and reducing expenditure, it is a bit difficult to reduce expenditure, so Zhang Xiaohua has thoroughly done the matter of increasing income.
From farming to selling tea, from opening a farm to opening a restaurant, Zhang Xiaohua has gone through the food industry thoroughly, and then she has done several planning projects in her free time, allowing Purple Bat to expand the food industry chain from the restaurant to some extent. Development of basic foods.
Anyway, during that time, Zhang Xiaohua only had to open her mouth, and Zibat and the others could find ways to do the rest as long as they were told.
Of course, apart from the food industry, Zhang Xiaohua followed the trend and invested in real estate when she found out that she had a lot of money.
After all, what to do to make money, and then get richer and richer.
Zhang Xiaohua finally understands what it means to "earn him [-] million first!" Because in many cases, if you have money, you will become richer and richer!
For Zhang Xiaohua, 500 million taels of silver is indeed not a difficult task.
But what makes Zhang Xiaohua difficult is how she will transfer the money into the national treasury.
When Zhang Xiaohua was thinking hard, Deng Litong said, "Dong Haining and Feng Se are back!"
Seeing the two of them, Zhang Xiaohua immediately thought of a solution.
"You asked us to pretend to be rich people to donate money? My goddaughter, you'll let me lie to you as soon as I come back, isn't that good..." Dong Haining twitched a bit.
But when she saw the rows of silver, she nodded without thinking.Then with a big wave of her hand, after buying a jaw-droppingly expensive outfit, she boldly transported the large sum of money to the treasury.
Afterwards, Dong Haining and Feng Se moved into the mansion and became rich.
But after such a long time, it will make people feel troubled.
"Now there are a lot of people queuing up every day to find
Us, I'm getting bored to death. "Dong Haining is still acting like a fool.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at it, and thought it was a little funny, "It's fine to deal with them casually."
"I can deal with other people as I like, but that... that person from the Qi family can't!"
"Qi's family?" Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua became interested, "Did they ask you for something?"
"His family always sent someone to pass on the message, and he refused once or twice, and the third time. It's so annoying! He's an official, why do you want me to be a businessman?" Dong Haining crossed his legs and pointed at Zhang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows and said, "And because he jumped too much in front of me! I paid close attention to this Qi family, and I found...they seem to have made a big move recently."
"Big move?"
"They spent a lot of money recently! I heard it when I went out to drink. Their family sold several properties and made a lot of money, but no money shop has ever received this money. Are you surprised? "
???
More arrears than can't track down?This is indeed suspicious.
