Chapter 353 Ji Yanran
Chapter 353 Ji Yanran
The death of the Crown Prince was a major event, so the news was transmitted very quickly, within eight hundred miles, and it would take the next day to reach Shanghai.
Wantong, who had known the result for a long time, was not surprised at all. Wu Youwei posted a notice stating that the crown prince died young, and according to the law, entertainment activities were banned for one year.
"Emperor Kong..." Wu Youwei sighed when he saw the report.
Along with the arrival report came the Jinyiwei secret report to Wantong. Wantong was silent for a long time after reading it, and finally Wu Youwei pushed him, and he let out a vicious sigh: "It's all done by the Bai family." die!"
It turns out that the crown prince shouldn't be so weak. If they keep using the things provided by the palace, although they won't be as healthy as the second son, they can still be similar to ordinary children. It's just that Bai Xiang'er has always used things for him. The things given by the Bai family are the same as those in the palace.
In this case, the crown prince would not be able to eat those things that are full of aura and good for the body.
In addition, Bai Xiang'er cared more and more about herself, and didn't care enough about her son, so much so that she ignored the crown prince's body.
In the end, the child died early.
It would have been possible not to die, but if Bai Zhen insisted on crowding out herself and transferred Wu Youwei to work in Shanghai, Wu Youwei, who had the elixir in hand, would definitely save the crown prince's life!
This is what was destined by the heavens, the prince will die early.
Wu Youwei also sighed, the child's death made everyone feel bad.
"Concubine Bai Xian has some people in her hands, but she only cares about herself..." Wantong handed Wu Youwei another secret letter.
Wu Youwei gasped after watching it.
It turned out that Empress Dowager Ciyi, that is, Empress Dowager Qian, left her staff after her death.
At that time, Empress Dowager Qian was favored by the Yingzong and ruled the palace. Although she had no children, she controlled the harem for many years and had a lot of power in her hands.
After Empress Dowager Qian disappeared, this force was supposed to be disbanded, but Bai Zhen had a rough idea. Empress Dowager Qian also helped Bai Xianger back then, and Bo Xianger naturally knew how powerful this force was, so he and Bai Xianger Jane came to cooperate with the inside and outside, and controlled this force.
In the palace, this power was used by Bai Xiang'er.
Even the emperor's visit to Bai Xiang'er again was done by this force, and of course Bai Xiang'er held on to this force even more and did not let go.
But the Bai family was not faithful. After Bai Xiang'er gave birth to an unhealthy eldest son, Concubine Wan also gave birth to a healthy second son.
At that time, Bo Xiang'er wanted to attack Zhaode Palace, but Zhaode Palace was strictly managed, water could not get in, and needles could not get in, so it took a long time to find the opportunity to attack the second son of the emperor.
It was the time when Wantong went to Wu Youwei for help with the second son in his arms.
Originally, Bo Xiang'er thought that the second son would surely die, so he returned the handle to the four leaders in those forces, but the second son was rescued by Wu Youwei!
And after this incident, Zhaode Palace became even more strict, and Wan Zhen'er became vigilant, so she didn't leave Zhaode Palace easily.
At that time, it happened to be the critical moment when the former court was arguing for the establishment of the crown prince, and Bai Xianger was dissatisfied with the four clerks, and killed all the relatives or close friends who detained them!
These four people quit!
Bai Xiang'er is killing a donkey by killing a donkey! ?
However, Concubine Baixian didn't take a few minions seriously, and she was not on guard against the people in the palace, and she couldn't be on guard, because these people were arranged by Emperor Xianzong by her side. That's it.
But these four people remembered this hatred, and swore their blood as an alliance, they must avenge it!
But then Bai Xianger's son was established as the crown prince, and Concubine Bai Xian will be the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother in the future!
How does this make it?
The four of them just kept on doing nothing, and deliberately put less cotton in the padded clothes made for the crown prince. He was already in poor health, and after two nights of freezing... he died.
Concubine Bai Xian's dream of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager also woke up.
Although those four people committed suicide afterwards, the emperor still lost the crown prince, and Bai Xiang'er was a little crazy, and was locked in the Changchun Palace, which was only said to be a claustrophobic Changchun Palace.
As for Bai Zhen, who was pushed to the end by the emperor, she became a big soldier and was sent to the front to fight. The Bai family ransacked the house and confiscated a lot of ill-gotten gains, all of which were collected into the national treasury.
Bo Jing's wife broke up with him, and Bo Jing had the same result as Bo Zhen.
But they went to a good place, An Bian Ying, and they all commanded Bai Long to kill Bai Zhen's cousin. Bai Long's official position was also because after the crown prince was appointed, Bo Zhen managed it for him, but Bai Long was a man. The qualifications are mediocre, and the victory lies in stability.
Let them go to Anbian camp, because Emperor Xianzong thought that they were still the grandfather and uncle of the crown prince.
At the same time, Emperor Xianzong also found out that the hidden power was left by Empress Dowager Qian, and it has been disintegrated now, and the palace has been cleaned up.
"It's all...what's the matter!" Wu Youwei didn't feel sorry for Bai Xiang'er after seeing it. She lost her son, and she looked pitiful, but a poor person must have something to hate.
It's all about killing yourself, and no one can stop it.
Knowing the whole story, the two of them were also relieved, and the next step was to attend the funeral.
The crown prince passed away, after all, he was the heir apparent with imperial decree.
Fortunately, Shanghai County doesn't have any entertainment activities, not even a brothel Chu House, and he doesn't plan to set up a brothel Chu House in the future, and there is no theater troupe or the like. It's just that there are no weddings at home, and he doesn't see a smile on his face.
On the contrary, Wu Youwei was very happy with the later family letter: "Shiji has already passed the Juren examination last autumn, and this year he plans to come back with a Jinshi examination at one go!"
It turned out that after they left last year, Zhang Sheng asked Wu Qiong to prepare well, and when he was in Qiuwei, he passed the examination of Juren.
Although it is not the No.1 Jieyuan, it is also in the top ten.
This year, I plan to take the exam with Zhang Yuanxi.
"The crown prince just passed away, can we continue with this test?" Wantong had other ideas: "But to avoid this subject?"
"No." Wu Youwei shook his head.
The death of the emperor and the prince is called "Beng", the death of the prince is called "Xu", the death of a doctor is called "Zu", the death of a scholar is called "Bulu", and the death of ordinary people is called "Death".
However, the emperor actually used "喨" to express the premature death of the crown prince. It can be seen that he did not regard the crown prince as the real "prince prince" in his heart.
Otherwise, "collapse" is used.
It's just that no one dares to say such things. The emperor is in a very bad mood recently, and many censors who dare to speak out have been taken off their black hats.
Great changes have taken place in the harem
Concubine Baixian was confined in the Changchun Palace and could not get out for the rest of her life.
It's more sad to live and suffer than to die, but he will spend his whole life in Sifangtian, which is good or bad for Bai Xiang'er.
After the death of the crown prince, Zhaode Palace became the place that Emperor Xianzong focused on protecting.
Especially the second son of the emperor, who almost became the eyeball of Emperor Xianzong, sent more than 40 eunuchs to surround the second son all day long, to prevent him from having any accidents.
Now that there is only such a son, even the Queen Mother Zhou has to give three points to this grandson.
At the same time, the court lady Ji Yanran is pregnant.
When Emperor Xianzong was in a bad mood, Wan Zhen'er found out about this and took him to Zhaode Palace.
Ji Yanran is a pretty woman with a graceful demeanor, every move she makes is very pleasing to the eye.
When she saw Wan Zhen'er, she saluted with some fear: "This servant kowtows to see the imperial concubine empress, empress is a thousand years old."
"Get up." Wan Zhen'er said with a smile: "I heard Wynn said you, come and give me a seat."
Ji Yanran sat down tremblingly, she didn't dare to sit all the way, but only made half of the embroidered stool.
"She's a good girl." Wan Zhen'er was even more satisfied: "But... have you?"
When Ji Yanran heard this, she was startled, and burst into tears immediately: "...
Said to protect the stomach.
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Wan Zhen'er was terrified by her reaction: "Since you have it, you should report it, you can make a noble person first, and when you have a child in the future, you can make a concubine Jinfei, just around the corner.
"I beg your concubine to help me!" Ji Yanran knelt on the ground as soon as she slipped out.
Wan Zhen'er was dumbfounded: "What's wrong?"
Ji Yanran said it all.
It turned out that years ago, she realized that she might have a body. To be honest, she and the emperor only had a few happy times. There are one or two women around the emperor who like it.
But no one can get pregnant.
Ji Yanran also happened to be terrified after she got pregnant!
Do you want it or not?
Before she could figure it out, the court lady named Wu Chunhua, who was also the emperor's court lady, broke the matter to Concubine Bai Xian.
At that time, Concubine Bai Xian had just been promoted to the position of Concubine Xian, and she hadn't established a crown prince yet, so she immediately sent someone to trouble Ji Yanran.
To abort the child in her womb.
Ji Yanran was forced to pour a bowl of medicinal soup. Fortunately, Wynn came quickly and made her vomit. The child was saved, but she was also afraid.
In the twelfth lunar month, the busy feet hit the back of the head, maybe Concubine Bai Xian didn't think of her, and with the guardianship of Mrs. Wynn, she passed the New Year in peace, but now Concubine Bai Xian has no crown prince, and she is claustrophobic again Changchun Palace, there is now a vacuum in the harem, and many women are staring at the imperial concubine.
And she was just a little maid, and she was afraid of being targeted by other women in the harem, so she had to ask Concubine Wan Gui for help.
She was really scared. Keeping the child was the most important thing. In this full harem, apart from the queen, only the imperial concubine had the ability to keep the child. Therefore, she asked eunuch Huai'en to be a matchmaker, and finally met the imperial concubine.
As expected, the imperial concubine is a kind person as rumored.
"Don't be afraid, since the younger sister of Concubine Baixian..., what are you talking about her?" Wan Zhen'er took her hand and said: "In that case, I will live in Zhaode Palace. When you give birth, the child is over. After one year old, it's not too late to find a place, I have everything here, including nurses and wives."
"Thank you for a thousand years!" Ji Yanran was finally relieved.
"Don't blame the emperor, there have been so many things recently, and he feels uncomfortable." Wan Zhen'er said: "He likes you in his heart, so you can't feel resentful. The crown prince is new, and the empress dowager is ill again. The empress doesn't have time to spare, I hope this year can go smoothly."
Wan Zhen'er comforted Ji Yanran a bit, and then ordered someone to tidy up the Dongpian Hall and arrange for her to live there, and someone to report to Emperor Xianzong.
After hearing this, Emperor Xianzong was silent for a while: "Decree, to confer the imperial maid Ji Yanran as a noble person, to live in the Zhaode Palace, and to wait for the childbirth in peace; the imperial maid Wu Chunhua, who behaves recklessly, is expected to be thrown into the cold palace to serve the deposed empress!"
"Yes." Eunuch Wynn bent down and went out to deliver the decree.
This month was really not smooth at all. After the death of the crown prince, the court was depressed for a few days, and the emperor hung up the court to express his condolences.
In that month, Yansui General Qian Liang Yu Maolihai was defeated in the Anbian camp, and he commanded Bai Long and Chen Ying to die in battle.Garthland violated Guyuan and Pingliang.
Different from the flames of war in the north, here in the south is the warmth of spring, and the transplanted magnolia trees are budding one by one.
In addition, the weather here is getting warmer in February, everyone is weaving nets to prepare for fishing, and some people are preparing to farm.
The double-cropping rice seeds that Wu Youwei found from Luo Lun were also sold in government shops and provided technical support for free.
Wantong's arsenal has finally mass-produced grenades and small artillery shells. Ultra-light mortars are also installed on warships. Mountain mortars are pressed on the city walls. This mortar has a longer range and lighter weight than Hongwu cannons. , It can be walked by a horse, and it is very convenient to move.
It's just that when people are working hard, there is a little discordant voice.
On this day, Xu Yishui from Xujiahui came again and asked Wu Youwei to report the crime: "The village is not peaceful recently."
