[Red Mansion] Married by decree

The first watch is human, the second watch is gong, the third watch is ghost, the fourth watch is thief, and the fifth watch is chicken.

Four is the time when he sleeps most soundly, and also when he is most relaxed. Prince Zhongshun chose this time to act.

The palace door was opened a crack, and a figure jumped out. When he saw Yunze, he respectfully knelt down to pay respects to Yunze: "I have seen Prince Anshun."

Seeing the man kneeling down, Yunze hurried forward a few steps, bent over, and stretched out his hands, intending to help the guard up with his own hands.When he was about to meet the guard, a guard who had been standing behind him suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yunze's arm.

"My lord, your arm is still injured." The man stood beside Yunze and said, both in tone and attitude, he was very respectful, as if Yunze was really his master, and it was just a hidden threat in his words, and Really, really made Yunze give up his previous plan.

"This king forgot." Yun Ze said, putting away his previous actions: "This king has something important to discuss with the emperor, so open the door."

"It's the prince." The guard kneeling on the ground responded, then turned around and told someone to open the door.

Yunze is the one who can enter the palace at any time by the emperor's special order. Even if the emperor is already asleep at this time, the guard still opened the palace door without any doubt, without even asking a question.

When he turned around, the guard who was holding Yunze before spread his palm and placed it in front of Yunze. He didn't say a word, but his meaning was very clear.Yunze hesitated for a moment, but took out the note hidden in his sleeve.

After the man took the note, he didn't open it, but turned around and handed it to Prince Zhongshun who was also dressed as a guard behind him.

After Prince Zhongshun took the note, he unfolded it.The words on the note were flying like dragons and phoenixes, and the handwriting belonged to Yunze.There are only four words on it: Force the Palace Quick Report.

When Prince Zhongshun saw these four words, his expression didn't change, and he put the paper away.Then he walked to Yunze's side and said softly, "I miss my nephew too."

When the palace door was opened, Yunze walked in first, without playing any tricks.No one noticed that there was a faint smile on the corner of Yunze's mouth.

The night gradually dissipated, and the sky showed fish belly white.In the study of Prince Anshun's mansion, the candles had already been burned out.Daiyu was still dressed as yesterday, and her eyes were bloodshot.At this time, Daiyu was standing at the window, staring in one direction.

"Youlan, there is no news yet, do you think the prince will..." Daiyu asked without looking back, but she couldn't ask if she would say anything later.

You Lan can't remember how many times Daiyu asked this question, she replied the same as before: "Princess, don't worry, the lord will be fine."

Such pale words can't even comfort You Lan herself, but apart from these words, she doesn't know what to say: "Princess, you will have to spend the night, You Lan will help you out to rest first, and when the prince sends someone back, You Lan will wait for you again." call you."

"No need, I'm not tired." Daiyu shook her head. Before that, she still felt a little tired, but as the sky gradually brightened, she gradually became more energetic. At this time, she didn't feel tired at all.

After Daiyu finished speaking, she saw Zhou Changshi walking into the courtyard with a bodyguard. Daiyu quickly turned around and wanted to move, but felt a little numbness in her knees.Fortunately, You Lan quickly supported her, and then helped her to sit on a chair beside her.

After completing this series of actions, Zhou Changshi and the two also walked outside the study, and were stopped by the maid guarding outside.After sitting down, Daiyu gave Youlan a few words softly, and then Youlan walked directly to the door, opened the door of the study, walked out by herself, and closed the door again.

"Zhou Changshi, the concubine didn't sleep all night, so it's inconvenient to see people at this time." You Lan said this after she came out, and everyone understood what she didn't say.

"This guard Liang was sent by the prince," Zhou Changshi introduced.

"Master guard, if you have anything to say to the servant, I will pass it to the princess." You Lan looked at the guard and asked.

The man glanced at You Lan, but did not answer, but looked at Zhou Changshi, as if asking about You Lan's identity.Zhou Changshi said knowingly: "This is the Youlan girl that our princess needs to use."

"It turned out to be Miss Youlan. The lord sent me here to talk to the wangfei. The matter has been resolved. It's just that the little prince was frightened last night, and the people in the palace couldn't coax him, so he ordered me to invite the wangfei into the palace." The guard said. .

"The concubine has not slept all night, and she is very tired. Why don't you let the servants accompany the guards into the palace." You Lan looked at the door of the study and said, as if she was afraid that the guards would disagree, and added: "Don't worry, the guards. When the prince cries, he is also coaxed by the servants."

"This..." The guard said in disbelief, "I am also following the order of the prince. Miss Youlan, please don't embarrass me. If the prince blames me, I can't afford it."

"Let me ask the concubine for instructions." You Lan didn't force her and said.Then he went into the study again.

"Tell people to go to the front and wait, and then transfer the guards in the mansion over." As soon as Youlan entered, Daiyu said, her voice was silent, and the people outside could never hear her.She had been standing by the window just now, seeing everything in the courtyard clearly.

To say that the person who is most familiar with Yunze is Daiyu, the person next to her pillow.Daiyu became suspicious when she saw the guard coming.After experiencing yesterday's kidnapping incident, with Yunze's prudence, he would naturally send the people around him over.

But this guard, Daiyu didn't know him.That's why Daiyu asked Youlan to go out to test him, because she was afraid that Daiyu would be worried, even if something happened, Yunze would only let the people who came to say that nothing happened, whether it was himself or Yunjin.However, the man said that Yun Jin kept crying.

After receiving Daiyu's order, You Lan came out again: "The maidservant will accompany the princess into the palace after washing her up. This brother guard, please wait in the front yard. After all, this is the inner courtyard of the palace."

After hearing Youlan finished speaking, Zhou Changshi hurriedly bowed and said: "I was negligent, and kiss Youlan girl to plead guilty to the princess on my behalf."

After speaking, Zhou Changshi made a gesture of invitation, and led the guard out of Daiyu's courtyard.After the person left, You Lan ordered Xueyan to transfer someone, and she opened the door again and walked into the study.

Early in the court, the emperor issued an imperial decree, that Prince Zhongshun had meritorious service in escorting him, and specially conferred the title of Concubine Shu on his mother Zhu, and his grandson inherited the title of Prince Zhongshun.

The royal family has no rebellious family members. For the sake of the royal family, the Supreme Emperor, and the emperor's face, the crime of treason will not fall on Prince Zhongshun.Therefore, the crime of becoming a thief fell on the head of Prince Zhongshun's first counselor, Mr. Gou.Anyway, there is no proof of death, so it's not just what the emperor said.

Those who seek to usurp the throne will implicate the nine clans.Luo's husband's family was also among the conspirators. Fortunately, the Luo family had been divorced, and she and the entire Luo family were able to escape.It was the Jia family who were picked out by Yunze.Yunze did this for Daiyu, not because Daiyu had any feelings for this foreigner.

After experiencing so many things, Daiyu and Jia's family have long been strangers.And Daiyu has also married as a woman, so she is not among the nine tribes in her life as an Internet celebrity.It's just that this foreign family is a traitor, it's not easy to say or sound.

Not only that, Yunze even begged the emperor to keep the Rongguo Mansion, the only thing he did was find an excuse to confiscate most of the Jia family's property.Because of this incident, the Jia family, who had been worried all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even held a family banquet to celebrate, but they didn't know that their suffering had just begun.How could Yunze make things easier for Daiyu's family who had bullied them so much.

Three days later, Daiyu arranged the boat and asked a steward of the palace to personally escort Luo Shi back to Yangzhou City.It's not easy for a woman who is suspended from her natal family. Her parents will be fine, but what about her clan, relatives and friends.Daiyu's arrangement is to tell others that there is Anshun Palace behind the Luo family.

Although this move cannot stop all the gossip, it is still helpful to the Luo family.Knowing this, Luo Shi did not reject Daiyu's kindness.

Seven days later, the crown prince was abolished, and he was given the title of a county king and was directly raised in captivity in the mansion.On the same day, Prince Chen's mother and concubine were named empress.Since then, the emperor's condition has worsened and he has been bedridden. The regent and Prince Chen are in charge of everything in the court.

"Ninth brother, I entrust Prince Chen to you, I hope you can help him well." On the bed, the emperor's face was bloodless, and he was so angry that every word he said seemed to use great strength .

Yun Ze half-kneeled at the head of the bed, holding the right hand of the emperor with both hands: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely help the new emperor well, and I will never let down the trust of my brother."

Hearing Yunze's firm assurance, the emperor pulled the corners of his lips and wanted to smile, but he was so pale and feeble, Yunze felt even more sour when he saw it: "The emperor, come here."

The emperor looked at Prince Chen who was standing not far away, and beckoned him to come over.Seeing this, Yunze let go of the emperor's hand, and then gave the bedside position to Prince Chen.No matter what he said to Yunze or Prince Chen, the emperor did not shy away from the two of them.

"Ninth brother once told me that you will be a good emperor, and I also believe that you will do better than me. I will leave this position to you, and I can rest assured." When the emperor said this, he glanced at Yunze, The two looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant.Only Prince Chen, who had his back to Yunze, missed the moment of surprise in Yunze's eyes.

"My son will remember what my father said, and I will definitely not disappoint my father and Uncle Nine Emperors." Prince Chen said.

The emperor patted Prince Aichen's hand, smiled again and said, "I'm relieved that you are well."

After speaking, the emperor glanced at Yunze again, and then his hand lost strength and fell on the bed.Prince Chen's face was full of sadness, he grabbed the hand that the emperor had dropped, held it in the palm of his hand, and cried out in grief: "Father emperor!"

Yun Ze, who was standing next to Prince Chen, also had sadness in his eyes. He clenched his fist tightly, and his nails left deep marks on his palm.Then, he let go of his hand.First, he patted Prince Aichen on the shoulder to comfort him, and then he went to the door and opened it.

"My lord, how is the emperor?" The ministers and princes who had been driven out outside the door all waited anxiously. When they saw Yunze coming out, they hurriedly gathered around and asked.

Yunze didn't make a sound immediately, he clenched his fist again, and then spoke, his tone was cold and without any emotion: "The emperor has passed away."

After Yunze left, the first thing he did was to read out the succession edict, which was given to him by the emperor a few days ago.Prince Chen's mother and concubine are now the empress, and the edict was personally read out by Yun Ze, the regent, even if everyone had some thoughts in their hearts, they would not express it.

"My lord, the regent Yunze, see the new emperor." After reading the edict, Yunze knelt down directly, expressing his support and submission to the new emperor.With Yunze as an example, the others all knelt down and paid respects to the new emperor.

Not long after, the entire palace was filled with white, indicating that the most noble man in the world had passed away.Those who are with Bai are still sad, but how much of it is true and how much is fake, and how many people know.

Compared with other people, Yunze was too calm, from the beginning to the end, there was no sad expression on his face, as if the person lying in the coffin was not his closest and most respected brother, but a stranger people.
