Prince Han Sien

Chapter 109

The old lady of the South Korean government died of illness, no matter whether Han Zhuo wanted it or not, on the surface he sincerely wanted to observe mourning for three years.

But it is said that it is three years, in fact, it is enough to keep it for 27 months.The emperor has always used the day to replace the month, keeping 27 days.

In contrast, courtiers performed very well in this respect.As the grandson of the old lady, Han Si'en has to keep a filial piety for the old lady for one year.

Among these disciples' grandchildren, Han Yueqing and Han Qingyun, who belong to the third room, are more unlucky. There will be a delay.

For this reason, Wen secretly hated Han Qingxue and Han Mingzhu's good luck, and at the same time felt very sad about what happened to her two children, and often cried bitterly.

Especially after seeing Han Yuezhong being punished by Han Sien, Han Yueqing became much more honest.

Therefore, after Han Qingxue became the fifth prince's concubine, Han Yuezhong looked at the three of them with aloof eyes.

After the death of the old lady, the life of the third bedroom became more and more sad, which made Han Yueqing see Han Yuezhong more clearly, and gradually stayed away from the second bedroom.

Fortunately, after the death of the old lady, the South Korean government does not need to separate the family for the time being, otherwise they would have a more difficult life if they left the country's government.

After Han Yueqing knew that no one could be trusted, he made other plans. He knew that if the filial piety period ended and his future had no charter, no one in the government would think highly of them.

In contrast, Han Qingyun was relatively calm. She became a side concubine when He Yuzhu entered the fifth prince's mansion, Han Qingxue became a concubine when she entered the fifth prince's mansion, and Han Mingzhu married into the Yongjun prince's mansion, and her marriage has not yet been settled. At that time, my heart was already cold.

The old lady once held her hand and said that she wanted to find a good marriage for her.But Han Qingyun knew that because of his father Han Ping, his reputation was not good, and a good marriage in the capital might not happen to him.

But the old lady didn't give up. She always felt that this was her youngest son's direct daughter. She had seen the world, so she couldn't just pick a family. She always had to pick a good one.

Among these people, those with poor family backgrounds could not catch the old lady's eyes, and those with good family backgrounds looked down on Han Qingyun. In the end, the old lady didn't help Han Qingyun pick someone out when she was dying, and delayed him because of her own death.

Now Han Qingyun thinks clearly, after the end of the filial piety period, she can find an ordinary family to marry, which is better than being used by the Duke's government to use up the last bit of value.

Relatively speaking, Han Si'en didn't think this year was too difficult. Once he didn't get married, he didn't have to worry about Re Xiaoli not being able to control his lower body and making a small life for others to catch.

Second, he is not a real official, nor does he have that kind of ambition, and he doesn't need to make connections in the court from time to time. Naturally, he doesn't have to be afraid that the situation will change a year later, and he will not have a place for himself in the court.

And Han Zhuo cried bitterly for a day and a night after the old lady died, and he also wanted to understand that he must keep this filial piety, and the key is how to keep it.So Han Zhuo showed a very calm attitude after the old lady and the old man were buried together, and closed the door of the mansion tightly, showing his attitude of being filial.

It's just that before Mrs. Han's death, Han Shu's fuss really stimulated Mrs. Wang and Han Mingzhu.

As an outsider, Mrs. Wang cannot come to the house like before when the Han family has a funeral.As a married daughter, Han Mingzhu couldn't visit Han Sien from time to time.

But they were also afraid that Han Zhuo and Han Shu would attack Han Sien during the filial piety, and they felt very uneasy.

However, this problem was solved very well by Ji Luo, who came to visit Han Sien every now and then.Sometimes he visits in a non-serious manner, and he doesn't hand over invitations to the Han family. He just takes a look at Han Si'en and leaves.

Han Zhuo's heart hurts because of this, but the emperor has not made a decision about Han Shu. In the eyes of outsiders, don't they just treat Han Si'en badly?Although some people felt that Han Sien deserved it for being too arrogant, but they couldn't help but ignore him.

Later, it was Han Si'en who was impatient with Ji Luo who had nothing to do and came to see him, so he sent him away very happily. The reason was that the imperial doctor Zhou often came to check his pulse. What's going on, Zhou Taiyi is probably the clearest, and can tell the emperor as soon as possible.Therefore, Ji Luo didn't need to be too cautious about his situation in the South Korean government.

Moreover, Han Si'en also stated that Ji Luo had just become the crown prince, and Ji Huai was far away at the Tianmen Pass in the western Xinjiang. What he needs to do most now is to consolidate his position, otherwise Ji Huai will take advantage of the loopholes, and what will happen in the future? It's hard to say what the day is.

Ji Luo was finally persuaded by Han Si'en, so she took a break from visiting him every two days.

Han Si'en's filial piety this year has been very sincere, with a face that does not touch wine and meat, and does not let the people who stare at him all the time catch him at all.As for privately, whether An Cao made some meat for him to replenish his body is another matter.

On the contrary, Han Shu, in the two months after the old lady's death, although Han Zhuo made repeated orders, he couldn't hold back in the end. On a dark and stormy night, he got drunk and took advantage of his drunkenness to talk to Zhang. It was a ridiculous night.

This kind of thing can be regarded as tacit understanding, as long as it doesn't make a life.This kind of thing, once started, is very difficult to stop.

Zhang's age did not have an advantage among Han Shu's Yingying and Yanyan, but she was a serious first wife, and Han Shu didn't dare to find someone else at this time, for fear of leaking the news and hindering his reputation.

In addition, the two of them were a serious couple, but they were sneaky, so it was rare for them to become interested.

After going on and on like this, a month later, Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt dizzy and nauseated, and her stomach was very nauseous.This ordeal scared Han Shu and Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang only said that she had eaten up her stomach, and in order not to make people suspicious, she even ordered two doses of medicine to be boiled and drank.

At this time, I can't go to the doctor to check the pulse, but Han Shu is very worried.

Han Shu said that if this is a child, it is naturally not possible to have it. Although Zhang knew it in her heart, she couldn't bear it in the end, and she was a little teary-eyed.Han Shu was so annoyed by her that he jumped up, and said indiscriminately: "This kind of thing spread during the hot filial piety period, if you want to kill me, don't drag me, if someone finds out, I won't admit it."

Zhang's heart turned cold when Han Shu said this, and finally Zhang asked her close girl to go out and secretly buy a pair of abortion medicine.

The girl is loyal, but unfortunately, the girl who bought the medicine and sneaked back to the house happened to be met by Han Sien, who was sending Zhou's imperial physician out of the house. When the girl saw Han Sien, she was so scared that she gave the medicine in her hand fell to the ground.

Doctor Zhou was very familiar with medicinal materials, and frowned when he heard about it, and said bluntly in his heart that the government's absurdity, and then left directly with his sleeves thrown away.Han Si'en picked up the medicine bag, looked at the trembling girl, and asked An Cao to deliver the medicine to Ji Luo with a smile.

During Han Shu's hot filial piety period, Ji Luo found someone to stab the emperor in front of the emperor. In addition, the emperor summoned Zhou imperial physician to ask if there was such a thing. Zhou imperial physician dared not hide it, so he told the truth.

After hearing the imperial decree, the emperor gave Han Shu the official position, saying that such unfilial people were not worthy of being an official in the court, and rewarded Han Shu with thirty slabs.At the same time, Queen Yi issued an order to reprimand Zhang Shi, deprived her of her imperial status, and gave her thirty slaps.

Although the servant who executed the execution did not beat and disable Han Shu, Han Shu has nothing in his life.But after Zhang Thirty slapped her face, she fainted immediately.

And the bad girl next to Mrs. Zhang, probably afraid of being killed by Mrs. Zhang's revenge, secretly swept away some of the second room's treasures, ran away, and disappeared without a trace.

After Han Shu found out, lying on the bed and yelling at him was done on purpose by Han Sien, but even Han Zhuo didn't believe his unconvincing words, but he had doubts in his heart.

After the doctor felt the pulse of the fainted Mrs. Zhang, everyone in the house thought that the scandal could not be concealed completely.In the end, the doctor said that Mrs. Zhang only felt sick because of eating too much cold and hard meat, and because of the cold.

When Han Shu heard the news, his eyes turned white, and he completely fainted.He was punished, his official position was taken away by the emperor, and he was humiliated in the entire imperial capital. It turned out that it was just a misunderstanding.

When the romantic affairs of the second master of the South Korean government during the hot filial piety spread all over the imperial capital, Han Sien was sitting under the banyan tree in Fanglan Courtyard and thought casually, how can anyone have no weaknesses, just like he has no power of his own in the Korean government. It is the biggest weakness.

So when he knew that Ji Huai was ordered by the emperor to go to the border, and the old lady was suddenly seriously ill, after discussing with Han Shu, Han Zhuo became malicious, and wanted to take advantage of the old lady's matter to kill him and end up in this mansion. his life.

Han Si'en picked an excellent time to annoy Han Shu deliberately with words, making him plan to kill him in advance.Then at the cost of being injured, they logically put their conspiracy in front of the emperor.

Han Zhuo was afraid that from then on, he would never dare to take his life in this house again.Of course, what Han Shu said was right. After the sword pierced his chest, Han Shu let go of it. Han Sien pulled it out by himself, just to make the blood flow faster and make his face look like a knife. If he is a servant, Zhou Taiyi will favor him even more in front of the emperor.

Although it was a life-threatening bet, he won the bet.

And there are too many pigtails that want to grab Han Shu, and he can kill Han Shu casually at special times without dirtying his hands.

Not everyone who is a girl wants to be the concubine of this family and be half the master.

The girl next to Mrs. Zhang is that girl. What that girl is thinking about is that she has saved enough money, so she will redeem herself out of the mansion. There are people waiting for her outside the mansion. Scolding girl.

But the bad thing is that she has a good color and caught Han Shu's eyes.Mrs. Zhang knows Han Shu's color!But fortunately, this girl is someone close to him, and she always wants to be towards him, so she made the decision and gave her to Han Shu.

Who would notice a girl's resistance?After this girl became Han Shu's person, she really cared for Zhang's sake, she was very grateful to Zhang, and gained Zhang's trust for a long time, so it would be a disaster.

If she randomly put some medicine in Mrs Zhang's food, it would be very easy for Mrs Zhang to mistakenly think that she is pregnant.

As for how this girl met Han Si'en by such a coincidence, and why she ran out of the Duke's mansion and disappeared, who knows?

He said it was Han Sien who did it, but he would definitely not admit it. In the end, it probably came down to God's will.

After the matter of the South Korean government became a joke in the imperial capital, the front door became even more deserted.Han Qingxue was so angry that even Mrs. Zhang said she was not free when she went to see her.

But He Yuzhu knew that Mrs. Zhang was here, and before he left, he gave 500 taels of silver, not to mention gaining a good reputation, Han Qingxue was so angry that he broke a jade bottle in the room, and finally went to see Mrs. Zhang.Otherwise, if it spreads out, people will only say that He Yuzhu is more filial to her mother than she is.

After the embarrassing incident of Han Shu, the South Korean government did not have any other attention-grabbing events, and the entire government was very low-key.

Of course, it is not so much that the South Korean government is keeping a low profile, it is better to say that Han Zhuo himself is keeping a low profile.

Han Sien was still satisfied with his understanding.

Slowly, Han Zhuo will lose everything, from his right-hand man, right-hand brother, to the power in the court, and finally the Korean government, and Han Zhuo can only watch helplessly, there is no other way.

@@

After Han Si'en kept his filial piety for one year, the grandson of the Korean government began to shed his relatively simple clothes, and walked around frequently with his former relatives and friends.Of course, Han Yuezhong didn't get the same treatment as before because of his reputation. Fortunately, he has a sister who is a concubine, and his face is thick enough, and someone will give him some face.

However, Han Yueqing unexpectedly chose to start a business. From a son of an aristocratic family to a businessman, this is a very disrespectful thing, and it is tantamount to ruining his own future.

After the third house is separated from the Duke's Mansion in the future, Han Yueqing's house will be just a businessman's identity, but Han Yueqing feels that nothing is more important than not having money now.

He was good at studying, but he really didn't have the energy to take the imperial examination. The most important thing was that his father was notorious. No matter how good his knowledge was, he might not be able to get the emperor's attention.

In addition, their third room has lost the blessing of the old lady. These days, the servants of the house are climbing up and stepping down. Wen Shi was angry and cried many times because of this, and he also aged a lot, not at all. The old lady likes it.

After much deliberation, Han Yueqing felt that it was better for him to switch.

But the people in the capital didn't pay much attention to the two brothers, they paid the most attention to Han Si'en.They wanted to know what Han Sien, who had been bored in the South Korean government for a year, was going to do when he came out.

Just waited for one day, two days, three days... For a month, Han Si'en never left the South Korean government's door.

This kind of unexpected life with a knife hanging over their heads was a little uncomfortable for some people. Fortunately, the emperor also thought of Han Si'en and prepared to order him to enter the palace.

However, this imperial decree was blocked by the imperial doctor Zhou. He pleaded guilty to the emperor, saying that Han Sien's body had been recuperating for a year and had just improved, but his condition was not easy to control.

After hearing this, the emperor withdrew the imperial edict sadly, and asked Han Si'en to recuperate in the mansion.

The emperor did not expect that Han Sien would raise him for another two full years.

@@

Two years passed by, and now Han Zhuo has returned to the court, but the current court is firmly controlled by Ji Luo, and there are not many places for him to intervene.

Han Zhuo was very disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.He stood quietly in the court hall, playing the role of a leisurely and quiet courtier, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

On this day, Imperial Physician Zhou came to the Duke's Mansion again to check Han Sien's pulse, and the present Prince Ji Luo was following him one after the other.

Speaking of which, Han Sien has been taking good care of his body for the past few years, and has hardly ever left the Fanglan Courtyard.

Even if Han Mingzhu visited the house, he would avoid seeing him, let alone others, of course, except for people like Ji Luo who always came uninvited.

But Ji Luo hasn't seen Han Sien's real face for a year, mainly because Han Sien wore a silver mask on his face a year ago because of his swollen face, only two eyes were exposed, so there were very few people. See him for what he really is.

When Ji Luo and Imperial Physician Zhou walked into the Fanglan Courtyard, Han Sien was sitting on the corridor watching local chatter. His body didn't look so thin anymore, but also became much stronger.

At this moment, his silver face was covered with a clean chin and a pair of cold eyes.

After Han Si'en saw Ji Luo, he said, "Why are you so leisurely as a prince? Didn't it mean that the western border is not peaceful, and there have been fierce quarrels in the court these two days?"

His voice was probably rough and harsh because of the mask, but fortunately Ji Luo had already gotten used to it, except for the fact that it was unpleasant to hear at first, she also got used to Han Sien's tone these days.

He took out a letter from his pocket, put it on the small table next to Han Sien, spread his hands and said, "I know you don't like to see me, do you think I would like to come and see your face? I wrote the letter, Xijiang has been very peaceful in the past two years, especially recently, and I don't know when it will become chaotic, and the fifth brother has just asked the father to go to Xijiang."

Speaking of this, Ji Luo felt a little unhappy. It wasn't that Ji Huai was paranoid about going to Western Xinjiang, but that he and Bai Wenhan had contacted early in the past three years, but the relationship was rather cold.

After Jingguohou stayed in Xijiang for so many years, he naturally had his own influence. It was easy for Ji Luo to protect the two brothers Bai Wenhan and Baishu through Jingguohou.It's just that there is a gap in Bai Wenhan's heart from a general to an ordinary commander.

The most important thing is that every time Bai Wenhan contacts him, Bai Shu must have a letter to Han Sien.What made Ji Luo even more depressed was that he had never seen Han Sien reply a letter.

Whether or not to reply to the letter is Han Sien's private matter, and he can't order someone to reply, so he has to tell Han Sien about the situation in Xijiang every time, hoping that it will reach his heart.

And Ji Luo was also a little strange, why did this white book take Han Sien so seriously?

When Ji Luo's thoughts continued to spread, Han Si'en said: "The letter has been brought, thank you, Your Highness." I don't know if it was Ji Luo's illusion, but he always felt that Han Si'en, who suddenly became very polite, did not speak very well. friendly.

But he really didn't think about wasting time here, and after hearing this, he took advantage of the situation and left.

After Ji Luo left Fanglan Courtyard, Han Sien left the silver mask on the table casually, revealing his current appearance. The current appearance of Han Sien is very similar to the one Bai Shu drew for him back then. The second painting, or more refined than that painting.

Her complexion is clean and fair, with Yushu Lanzhi on her side, her appearance is beautiful, her appearance is handsome and heroic.The indifference between the brows and eyes is extremely cold. At first glance, it seems a bit supercilious.

Seeing Han Si'en's appearance, Imperial Physician Zhou sighed from the bottom of his heart. After taking his pulse carefully, he said seriously: "The emperor was still asking about your physical condition yesterday, so I will tell you the truth."

Han Si'en hummed lightly, and said casually: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I will definitely go to the palace to pay my respects to the Emperor some day."

Doctor Zhou looked at the inconspicuous small stove beside Han Sien, and said, "Your Majesty, you should know your physical condition. Although the old minister has been doing his best to take care of you for the past two years, you can't take care of your body if you take care of it. Your Majesty is afraid of the cold." , You must pay attention, or you will not be seriously injured again."

In the past three years, Imperial Physician Zhou came to the Duke's Mansion quite frequently. In the first year, Han Si'en's health was poor and he was on the verge of life and death. He used the medicine carefully, for fear that this person would die if he was not careful.

Fortunately, Han Si'en survived, and Imperial Physician Zhou carefully added the tonic, trying to hang his life as much as possible.

Later, after Han Sien's body was able to take in the tonic medicinal materials under his careful maintenance, the old and new ginseng placed in the warehouse finally came in handy.

Speaking of which, Han Sien's ability to become what he is now has a lot to do with his eating ginseng as a carrot for more than a year.

But I don't know what Han Si'en thought, after his face became fair and clean, he had someone make this mask, and he wore it when he met others.

However, in the view of Imperial Physician Zhou, this is also good.After all, the current Han Si'en is too much like the imperial concubine back then. For an obsessed emperor, this may be a very uncomfortable thing.

Thinking of this, Imperial Physician Zhou hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth. He said cryptically, "Your Majesty is a smart man. Your Majesty never likes people who are too handsome. You should wear this mask in front of your Majesty."

Han Si'en listened to Zhou Taiyi's subtle words, nodded slightly, accepted his feelings, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your reminder."

Doctor Zhou tidied up the medicine box slowly, and said: "I have done everything I can do for the son. How the health of the son will be in the future depends on my own chance. The old minister is also old, and I have already delivered it to the emperor. Zhezi is going to retire and return to his hometown, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come to the house often in the future."

After hearing this, Han Si'en smiled lightly, and said as if pointing out: "Doctor Zhou's medical skills are superb, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave even if he wants to." The emperor only trusted his medical skills, so he wouldn't let him go easily.

Physician Zhou shook his head with a wry smile. As the saying goes, a long illness makes a doctor. In the past three years, when he treated Han Sien, he also explained the medicinal properties and uses of each medicinal material to Han Sien when he was free. There is half a teacher-student relationship between people.

The more he came into contact with Han Si'en, the more regretful Zhou Taiyi felt, this man was too thorough, and he liked him very much.

It's just that since ancient times, Huiji will be hurt, and love will never last.Every time Physician Zhou thought of this, he felt very regretful.

After Doctor Zhou offered to leave, Han Sien put on a mask and personally sent him out of Fanglan Hospital.

After Doctor Zhou disappeared, Han Sien slowly walked back to the place where he was sitting. When he saw the well-sealed letter on the table, he paused, and his breathing became heavier unconsciously. .

His eyes stayed on the letter for a long time, and finally he reached out and picked it up, held it in his hand, and patted his palm lightly.But he didn't open it, but went straight back to his room, opened a box on the table, and put the letter in it.

And in that box, there were more than a dozen letters lying there, none of which had been opened.

Thinking of the ginseng and medicinal herbs unique to the snow-capped mountains in Western Xinjiang that he had eaten in the past two years, Han Sien rubbed his head, thinking that Bai Shu's kindness really owed him more and more.

In the beginning, it was just a piece of silver, but now it has become countless treasures, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back.
