Minister

197【Three Years of Zhenglong】

Most people were just guessing about the emperor's condition, and even Zhou Wenyuan didn't know much about it.So it was too late for such news to reach Wang Xiuyun's ears, Wang Xiuyun was very unhappy: "Look, I really don't have the life to be a queen."

This, Wang Xiuyun said to herself in the mirror, she doesn't like this kind of helplessness of not being able to control the situation.Is it necessary to meet King Qin again?There is no need, because the king of Qin has made it very clear that he will only help the Wang family clean up the cabinet, but will never interfere with the affairs of the emperor and the Wang family.Wei Chi?It doesn't make sense, he will try his best to solve the problem from the standpoint of Chen Entropy. He and he have the same goal, and there is no need to join forces again.

Chen Yuxiang?

Wang Xiuyun thought of this person, the person who accompanied Chen Entropy through the most difficult period. She is Chen Entropy's relative, and more importantly, she is the most important woman in the palace.

Why didn't she do anything?

Who did she make a deal with?

Is there any way I can meet her?

The answer is of course no, because I am the future empress who has not yet given a gift, and the other party is a princess who has not yet left the court. One must not enter the palace, and the other must not leave the palace. There is no way to meet.

"Think of a way." Wang Xiuyun called the officer she brought from her hometown.

Two days later, a young gentleman rode a horse to the outside of the capital, wandering by the side of the road seemingly without any purpose.It wasn't until an exquisite carriage appeared at the gate of the city that the young man smiled slightly.

"Miss, that should be it."

The young master signaled the man who was talking in his ear to wait for him, while he walked towards the carriage unhurriedly by himself.

"See you for a long time."

Chen Yuxiang's heart skipped a beat when he saw that the curtain of the car was lifted by a corner of the horsewhip. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything else to answer her, so he could only say: "See you for a long time."

The last time we met was ten years ago. When Wang Xiuyun was only a few years old, a little girl had grown into a slim girl like this. Chen Yuxiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Wang Xiuyun put down the curtain of the carriage, sat up straight, and said coldly to the coachman, "Follow that man."

The officer standing not far away saw her order and led the way ahead, and the driver quickly followed with his whip.

"How have you been doing all these years?"

Chen Yuxiang was very anxious about Chen Entropy, but he didn't expect this person to ask him in a hurry.

"How have you been doing all these years?" The people outside the car did not hear a response and repeated it.

"Fortunately."

Wang Xiuyun didn't speak any more, Chen Yuxiang could only feel the car moving forward slowly.Wang Xiuyun didn't call her by this name originally, but she seems to have heard from Queen Wang that her father doted on her the first time she saw this junior, so she changed it to this name after much deliberation. "Xiuyun"? "Xiu Yun"?What exactly does Wang Yunyi expect from her?

I have only seen that side, and there are too many faces on that side. I am the protagonist of that picture, but so is this five-year-old girl.She is not a princess, but she has an attractive temperament.It was this kind of temperament that made her look so natural and decent in men's clothing.

The carriage stopped, and after a while, Wang Xiuyun's voice came in from outside the car: "It's just the two of us now, I have something to ask you."

"Please speak."

"Do you think I'd be a good queen?"

"Huh?" Chen Yuxiang didn't understand what she meant.

"If Chen Entropy gets my help, can he become a good emperor?" Wang Xiuyun didn't wait for her to answer: "I will do this, and I will definitely do it, but the premise is that he must at least be alive." Wang Xiuyun suddenly After a pause: "Please tell him for me."

"You think he's going to die?" Chen Yuxiang's voice trembled.

"Correct."

"Why? This is really not an ordinary disease, someone wants to harm him?!" Chen Yuxiang couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted in the car.

"Have you ever seen anyone suffer from such a strange disease?"

"Who is that?"

"is that you?"

"Me?" Chen Yuxiang asked in surprise?

"Not you?"

"How could it be me?" Chen Yuxiang lifted the curtain of the car, and met Wang Xiuyun's gaze. This expression seemed familiar, as if he had seen it from his father many, many years ago, that kind of gaze that could see everything.

"Very well, it's not you." Wang Xiuyun withdrew her terrifying gaze and returned to her usual appearance: "If you really don't want the emperor to die, then go and supervise the emperor's basic necessities of life, and don't trust anyone except you. Let The emperor moved to another place to live, and moved to your bedroom."

"The emperor is almost an adult, how could he move to my bedroom?" Chen Yuxiang understood her intentions, but was still surprised.

"Go figure it out yourself." Wang Xiuyun smiled kindly: "After all, he is very important to you. Where there is need for help, the Wang family will do their best."

Chen Yuxiang felt a little irritated. This conversation without honorifics made her feel uncomfortable.

"Next is another question." Wang Xiuyun smiled more kindly: "Do you still remember me?"

This is a field in a small village outside the capital city. The spring planting has not yet started, and the field is barren. Wang Xiuyun is riding on a horse, with an expression like a wicked young man molesting a woman.

Yes, come to think of it, that's how she always starts conversations with other people in an inexplicable way, and then leads you by the nose.That day, when she was the one who took the initiative to talk to her, she showed such a kind and cold smile, and then answered irrelevant questions.

"Look, the bird flew away."

I don't know why I looked at the little girl talking to herself.

"Do you want to fly away?" Same expression, same words.

There were no birds outside the car, only the cold north wind pouring in from the opened curtains.

Wang Xiuyun raised the whip and pointed to the distance. It was a road with no end in sight, and the yellow sand was endless, and she didn't know where it led.

"You really are the same as Queen Wang." Inadvertently, Wang Xiuyun felt a trace of sadness, but it was fleeting.

"Then get back to reality." The kind smile on Wang Xiuyun's face disappeared: "Don't trust anyone, except me, don't trust anyone."

Chen Yuxiang put down the curtain of the car, and when he heard the sound of horseshoes outside the car gradually receding, tears suddenly ooze from his eyes, these are really weird tears!Chen Yuxiang wiped his face and said to the coachman, "Go back to the palace."

Chen Entropy suddenly disappeared from his bedroom. Hong Fang was rather depressed about this, and half hinted, he told Wei Chi: Now someone wants to get there first. clothes.

Wei Chi hasn't seen Chen Entropy for three days in a row: "The lower officials are a little worried."

Hong Fang smiled but said, "Master Wei, we are all outsiders now."

But Chen Entropy's condition does not seem to be improving, and the day of the big wedding is approaching again.All the officials stretched their necks and waited secretly, but they waited for King Qin to arrive.

King Qin suddenly appeared in the capital as if he had emerged from the underground of the capital. He expressed that he wanted to see Chen Entropy, but the cabinet did not agree.What about Chen Entropy's opinion?No one knows the whereabouts of Chen Entropy.The disappearance of Chen Entropy is like the sudden appearance of King Qin, which is incredible.

Before the fierce conflict between the King of Qin and the cabinet, Wang Zhongliang stood up. His opinion was very simple: the important thing now is to honor the wedding, because this is the emperor's wedding.

The turbulent debates are not important, because no one has seen Chen Entropy since a certain day, where is he?In Beijing?This seems to be a mysterious question.Even if your faces are red and your ears are red, and Chen Entropy doesn't show up, no one can move forward.

Wei Chi was more anxious than everyone else, until Lin Xuan gave him an important message: Chen Entropy is still alive and in Hede Palace.

Great, he's still alive.Wei Chi gave Lin Xuan a grateful hand: "Thank you!"

Now, no one can stop him, he is going to enter the palace.

In fact, no one came to stop him, because Chen Entropy's whereabouts had become a secret, so Wei Chi reported to the gate of Hede Palace through layers of reports.

Chen Yuxiang was not surprised when she heard the notification, because she thought he could guess it.

"Let Lord Wei come in." Chen Yuxiang put his hand on the handle of the chair, trying to make himself look calm.

Time always flies by, Chen Yuxiang showed a dignified expression that a princess should have, she thought, time flies by so fast, I think I should have forgotten it.

"Why did Master Wei come now?" Chen Yuxiang didn't let Wei Chi die.

"I dare not act rashly."

That's right, if he came rashly, it would be a matter of time before he was known.

"Although the emperor's condition has not improved, it has not deteriorated yet. Master Wei must be very worried, please go in, Ruyi." Chen Yuxiang let go of the hand holding the chair: "Take Master Wei to see the emperor."

The moment Wei Chi stood up, Chen Yuxiang didn't have the courage to look into Wei Chi's eyes, but just listened to his footsteps gradually disappear.

After not seeing each other for several days, Chen Entropy's face became even paler. When Wei Chi held his hand, he felt almost as cold as himself: "Your Majesty?"

Chen Entropy didn't answer him, just fell asleep deeply.

"Is the emperor always like this?"

Ruyi shook her head: "Sometimes I wake up, but most of them are asleep."

"Your Majesty?" Wei Chi felt his voice trembling.

"Well," Chen Entropy moved his hand and opened his eyes with difficulty: "Master Wei?"

Chen Entropy seemed to wake up a little bit. He waved his hand at Ruyi, and Ruyi quickly backed out and closed the door.

"You came to see me, you finally came to see me." Chen Entropy said weakly, "Master Wei, don't worry, I've gotten better in the past few days."

Wei Chi nodded with difficulty.

"King Qin wants to see me?" Chen Entropy shook his head: "Uncle Huang is really in a hurry."

The light in Chen Entropy's eyes flickered, replaced by a kind of empty confusion, and the delicate pattern on the bed curtain was now depressing, making his unsmooth breathing even more difficult.

"Say, who wants me to die?" There was no emotion in Chen Entropy's words.

"Your Majesty, I will not let the Emperor die!"

Chen Entropy seemed to tremble when he heard Wei Chi's words.

"Master Wei, don't be sad." Chen Entropy closed his eyes: "Don't be sad."

Chen Entropy's sleepy eyes were full of despair: "Master Wei, do you still remember the night you came to save me?"

Wei Chi nodded.

"I almost forgot." Chen Entropy's expression became numb: "This morning, I couldn't remember it. I couldn't remember whether there was such a thing. I was afraid that I would forget everything. Forgetting that I was still a Emperor, even you and I will forget."

"So," Chen Entropy cheered up: "I have to ask Master Wei for one thing."

Chen Entropy pointed to the pen and ink: "Help me draw up an imperial edict. If I die, I will pass the throne to Chen Kong."

"The prince of Qin?"

"Yes." The corner of Chen Entropy's mouth raised a smile: "I can't pass the throne to the person who killed me."

"What does the emperor mean?" Wei Chi was shocked.

"Yes, he is the biggest beneficiary, that's him." Chen Entropy can no longer remember the appearance of the emperor's uncle: "Why is it such a disease? You are so cruel to me, you want me to forget everything, why are you so cruel to me?" Woolen cloth?"

Wei Chi held Chen Entropy's hand and knelt down in pain.

"Master Wei, don't be sad." Chen Entropy's face softened a little: "Just like what you said to me: Even if you are in a desperate situation in the future, you still need to stick to it, and don't give up lightly. Ah, I still remember what you said to me If I live, I still remember some of the days when you were by my side. Sometimes I think about it, I am happy, at least I met someone who has always loved me, respected me, and never had the intention of harming me. That’s it. Look, I'm actually much luckier than my father. Master Wei, don't be sad, get up, and write down what I said, I want to pass the throne to Chen Kong."

Uncle Huang, will you kill your own son?

Will it?

"Don't go," Chen Entropy took Wei Chi's hand: "Come and stay with me when master finishes writing, don't go."

I'm afraid I'll even forget you.

Will I forget even you tomorrow?

Will it?

Chen Entropy turned his head with difficulty, looked at Wei Chi in front of the desk, picked up the pen with difficulty, and thought for a long time before landing on the paper.That silhouette was familiar to him for a long time, but at this moment it was a little strange.

Wang Xiuyun?Do you want to be queen?It's a pity that there are some things that people like you will never understand in their entire lives.

When Wei Chi put the sealed imperial edict by his pillow, Chen Entropy smiled reassuringly: "Master, can you satisfy the student's request?"

"Your Majesty, please do not mind."

"do not forget me."

After saying these words, Chen Entropy closed his eyes, and Wei Chi was distraught when he heard his dull breathing.Chen Entropy's face was flushed unhealthily, and his sleeping position was stiff, as if he had been frozen.Wei Chi shifted his gaze to the sealed edict next to Chen Entropy's pillow. The color of the lacquer was as bright red as blood, which was eye-catching.

do not forget me.

Wei Chi's heart throbbed, and the pain made him want to vomit.

"Your Majesty?" Wei Chi stretched out his hand tremblingly, shaking Chen Entropy's shoulder: "Your Majesty?"

Chen Entropy didn't wake up.

Wei Chi withdrew his hand, stood up, and backed out.

Hede Palace is close to the water, it is very quiet at night, and the slow sound of waves reaches my ears.Wei Chi walked to the window and looked at the darkness outside.I don't know how long he looked at it, but when Wei Chi turned his head and was about to leave, he saw the person looking at him at the end of the corridor.

Chen Yuxiang was holding a palace lantern in his hand. Perhaps because he had stood there for too long, the candlelight was already very weak and could not clearly illuminate her face.There were not many lamps in the corridor, and there was only one shadow of Wei Chi at the moment. Chen Yuxiang looked at him, but couldn't see his expression clearly.

The weird atmosphere in the past few days seems to have tormented everyone crazy.Wei Chi forgot to kneel down, forgot to use honorifics, he just looked at Chen Yuxiang blankly, and then passed her by.

Chen Yuxiang knew that she had to leave, but she had nowhere to go. She dragged the palace lantern and opened Chen Entropy's room in a daze. The bedroom without a maid was deserted.Chen Entropy's cold hands made her feel terrified, and all she could do now was hold the stiff body and cry bitterly.

Chen Entropy didn't respond, just breathing heavily, letting other people's tears soak his face.

King Qin lost his patience during the several days of waiting. Even though the cabinet had temporarily controlled the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, he still demanded to meet the emperor as soon as possible on the grounds of the country.Wang Zhongliang reacted strongly and asked the cabinet to reject King Qin's indecent request.

The marriage has not stopped, and everything is in full swing. Wang Xiuyun stared at the bright red wedding dress next to her hand, and raised the corners of her mouth—the forces of the Wang family failed to find any clues about anyone harming Chen Entropy, and even Wang Zhongliang started It is suspected that this is a strange disease.

who is it?

Maybe all of this will take time to give the answer, but Chen Entropy, can you wait?

If you can't wait, I'm flying away.I am different from Queen Wang and Princess Chen, I can fly away.

Wang Xiuyun pushed open the window, the weather today is fine and cloudless.

Qiao Yunsheng walked out of the gate of the Zhenfu Division, which was obviously an unreasonable detention - who would have expected that the conspiracy of some bad old men in the cabinet, and the superiors of several speculators in the speech officer would put an important border minister like himself Put in prison.

Qiao Yunsheng sneered, he was able to get out of prison thanks to a command from King Qin, this feeling is as subtle as today's sunny weather.What kind of chaotic era is this, that a military general who is fighting on the frontier should go through the trading of power to save his life?

Waiting for him at the gate of Beizhen Fusi was Wei Chi, a small man with a southern appearance wearing a cloak. Qiao Yunsheng didn't have a deep impression of him because he was not good at fighting.

Wei Chi took a few steps forward, saluted, and was about to hand over the cloak to him.

Qiao Yunsheng didn't answer, but just pointed to the sky.

Wei Chi looked at the white clouds in the sky, his smile froze on his face.

Qiao Yunsheng bowed his hands politely, walked around Wei Chi, and stepped into the carriage behind, which belonged to the Wang family.The coachman looked at Wei Chi in surprise, Wei Chi gestured to him, and the coachman drove away tremblingly.Wei Chi folded his cloak and went back alone.

Beizhen Fusi was a little far away from Wei's house, and Wei Chi walked very fast, until someone bumped into Wei Chi's shoulder, which pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Quick, go and see the imperial list."

The man hardly stopped, just discussing with the people next to him.

Only now did Wei Chi realize that almost everyone was moving in the direction of the Dachen Palace, and the crowd seemed to be discussing one topic, which was the "Emperor List".

In the vast crowd, only one person stopped and let everyone run behind him.

Royal list!Go to the Royal List!

People's tone ranged from panic, to sadness, to curiosity, to having fun.

Wei Chi looked at the bluestone slab at his feet, and frowned. She knew that the sky was clear at the moment, but she didn't want to look up.

The crowd washed over her mercilessly, like a cold torrent washing over a stone.

Wei Chi didn't move, he just watched and listened lightly, waiting for himself to gather enough courage to take a step.
