Chapter 42
Chapter 42
The father and daughter argued endlessly, causing many palace people to watch.
Shi Wei took the overall situation into consideration, exchanged glances with his daughter, and left angrily.
On the second day, the Empress Dowager ordered Yan Ru to get married.
After Yan Gao received the decree, he didn't know how to reply for a long time, but Shi Wei covered his eyes and didn't want to see the helpless look of the other party, he sighed: "It's going to be chaos, it's going to be chaos."
"Brother Shi, what does the Empress Dowager mean?" Yan Gao panicked suddenly, Shi Sheng and Yan Ru were like sisters, if even Shi Sheng gave up at this time, would Yan Ru still have a way out?
Shi Wei glared back at him: "You commit crimes yourself, what does it have to do with me, you can figure out your own way, there are so many things to deal with in the office, the truth has no time to play with you."
None of them worry.
After saying that, Shi Wei left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Yan Gao alone in the hall in a daze.
*****
Yan Gao arrived at the nunnery at dusk, a bright and gorgeous carriage was parked outside the door, and more than a hundred imperial guards followed.
Yan Ru, who was standing at the gate of the mountain, understood her situation without anyone needing to tell her. Here, imperial power represents everything.
Yan Gao walked up the mountain slowly, and could barely lift his head when he saw his daughter, but Yan Ru smiled, "Father, let's go back."
"Yan Ru, this is what the empress dowager meant." Yan Gao couldn't help but say, "Your majesty is ill. I thought you would escape, but I never thought that the empress dowager would make the decree in place of your majesty. You have the best relationship with the empress dowager. How can she be so right? you?"
"The Queen Mother..." Yan Ruo was surprised and puzzled for a moment, and after a short while, she accepted it calmly, "Why is Your Majesty sick?"
"Emergency." Yan Gao explained casually. In fact, the imperial physician revealed that His Majesty may have been poisoned, but the implications were so important that he dared not say anything casually.
Yan Ru didn't ask any more questions, but returned to Yan Mansion calmly.
The marriage is scheduled to take place in January, and many things still need to be arranged slowly.
After returning to the mansion, Yan Ru closed the door to thank the guests, did not see anyone, and did not enter the palace to see Shi Sheng.
The two of them live in different places and cannot meet each other at will.Shi Wei and Yan Gao were so busy that they didn't even touch the ground, all important government affairs fell on them. Fortunately, Empress Qin was a prudent person, and arranged the palace in an orderly manner.
After three or five days, Zhao Dan woke up leisurely, and Empress Qin was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager.
Shi Sheng didn't refuse this time, and rushed over immediately.Zhao Dan lost a lot of weight, lying on the bed with sunken eye sockets, his personal maid Taohe was in charge of taking care of him.
Taohe had been thinking about it for many days, and at this moment he breathed a sigh of relief, and led the Queen Mother to sit down in front of the couch.
Shi Sheng cut to the chase, "The Ai family ordered Yan Ru to go and marry him, His Majesty is very happy to think about it."
Zhao Dan's complexion was sallow, and the corners of her lips were pimple. After hearing these words, she still smiled, "What the empress dowager meant really shocked me."
"There's nothing to be shocked about. Your Majesty is taking good care of your illness. You need to take care of your illness slowly. If you don't take care of it well, you will die. Right now, the government affairs are handed over to the two prime ministers, and the Ai family has never intervened." Shi Sheng's tone was very slow, as if I'm talking about homely things, without even a little emotion.
Zhao Dan's eyes showed doubts, even puzzled, "Queen Mother, what are you thinking?"
"The Ai family didn't think about anything. The Ai family just wanted to destroy your country. If you want to marry me, I will marry you. Brother marrying a brother and wife will leave you with a bad reputation." Shi Sheng smiled suddenly, and the smile slowly appeared in his eyes. Emerging, she calmly stared at the invincible man in front of her, "I'll give you whatever you want. I'll also give you a great gift, ruining the Great Wei Kingdom."
"Shi Sheng..." Zhao Dan gritted his teeth, finally a bit of anger condensed on his weak face, she struggled to get up, but Shi Sheng held her neck, "Zhao Dan, are you afraid?"
"The Queen Mother..."
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is still ill..."
Following the screams of the servants, Empress Qin even knelt down in front of Shi Sheng, her complexion paled in panic: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager..."
"Empress, do you know why your husband hasn't touched you so far?" Shi Sheng tore the window paper, with a mocking smile on his lips.
Hearing such crucial words, Queen Qin even forgot to breathe, staring fixedly at the noble woman in front of her.
Shi Sheng leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Because your husband covets his imperial wife, and still wants to get Aijia, and Aijia wants to strangle him to death."
"Empress Dowager..." Empress Qin cried bitterly, looked up at the man lying on the couch, "How, how could this happen?"
Her husband is the Son of Heaven, an honest gentleman, handsome, good at dancing and martial arts, and a rare hardworking king.
She laughed suddenly, and said shamelessly, "It's really dirty."
No wonder the Queen Mother wanted to strangle him to death. If it were her, she would kill him directly.
Empress Qin staggered to her feet, her mocking smile scared everyone, Zhao Dan frowned even more, and reprimanded: "Empress, be careful with your words."
"Careful words..." Empress Qin disdainfully glanced at Zhao Dan, then turned and left.
Zhao Dan closed his eyes wearily, "Is the Queen Mother satisfied?"
"Zhao Dan, the relationship between you and me is not over yet." Shi Sheng didn't feel relieved, but felt a momentary heartache. Zhao Dan's relationship with so many people involved so many people. Is it his fault or his own.
Shi Sheng couldn't figure out whose fault it was, so he ignored Zhao Dan and left the dormitory lonely.
The Changle Palace was extremely deserted, and the sweeping palace attendants all hid away after finishing their work, and Danqing led the people to move some fresh flowers into the courtyard.
After Shi Sheng came back, she sat under the window and didn't speak for a long time. Danqing came to ask several times, but she didn't speak.
Danqing tentatively asked: "Miss Yan is waiting to be married in the mansion, if you feel bored, why not call her into the palace, okay?"
"No need, the Ai family doesn't want to see her." Shi Sheng refused softly, what can they say when they meet, it's just their feelings.
At dusk, the sky was overcast, and the palace people anxiously moved the flowers back into the palace. After half an hour of back and forth, a gust of wind came.
The sky darkened quickly, and there was lightning and thunder in an instant.
Danqing looked at the dark sky, quickly closed the window, and spoke to the Queen Mother worriedly: "No matter what you say, you will leave. This servant feels that something is wrong."
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a rain. As the saying goes, it's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. You can't stop it." Shi Sheng glanced outside the hall, feeling uneasy, but she didn't show up.
After a while, she still told Danqing: "Send someone to Yan Mansion to take a look."
"My servant knows that you miss Miss Yan in your heart, so I sent someone there today. Miss Yan is embroidering the wedding dress in the mansion, and everything is fine." Danqing smiled.
Shi Sheng pursed the corners of his lips, but the joy in his eyes was unstoppable.
After a crackling sound, the torrential rain came.
"Listening to the sound of rain to sleep is also a burst of enjoyment." Shi Sheng closed his eyes and listened to the sound of rain quietly.
Danqing didn't dare to disturb the elegance of the queen mother, and ordered the maids to be quieter when they came in and out.
The torrential rain came, and the rain shrouded the entire palace. In the middle of the night, the palace people went back to rest one after another.
Shi Sheng also went to bed early, lying on the soft bed, he would still think of Yan Ru from time to time.
Maybe Yan Ru should hate her.
Her mind suddenly went blank, and she felt a little headache, so she tried to calm herself down.
Zhao Dan's intention was to let Yan Ru go back to the vulgar first, but she didn't want to make troubles, so that the world would know the scandal of the royal family.
Shi Sheng looked at her head and kept breathing. After a while, the door of the palace opened, and she subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
It's Danqing.She walked to the side of the queen mother and said quietly: "The queen is dead."
Shi Sheng suddenly sat up, and lifted the brocade tent with both hands, "The one who died now?"
"The empress is about to fall asleep, and the palace people are screened out. Just now, the maid came in and saw her lying on the couch neatly dressed, with blood on the corners of her lips. It can be judged that she committed suicide." Danqing lowered her voice very low, for fear of letting her go. The Queen Mother was afraid.
But no matter how low her voice is, her words are still a life.
Shi Sheng couldn't sit still anymore, grabbed Danqing's hand and was about to stand up, but Danqing refused, "It's raining heavily outside, even if we go, we have to wait until dawn, Your Majesty is forbidden to speak, the people outside don't know, if you go now, It will make you think a lot.”
"He still wants to hide it?" Shi Sheng pushed Dan Qing away angrily, "If he hadn't been obsessed with his obsession, how could the empress commit suicide in shame? Seriously, it's ridiculous in front of her."
Danqing lowered her eyes, "But he is His Majesty and the Son of Heaven, you have to listen to him."
After hearing the words, Shi Sheng really calmed down, slumped on the couch, rubbing his temples constantly, "I don't want to stay here for a moment."
This palace is like a cage, suppressing her for life will drive her crazy.
Danqing gently comforted the queen mother, "Don't be nervous, your majesty will handle it properly. The concubine's suicide will implicate her mother's family. It's a good thing that your majesty doesn't blame her. You lie down for a while, and when the sun rises, the slave will go to pick up Miss Yan. Gong will accompany you to talk."
"No need, tell Yan Gao that Yan Ru is not allowed to go out, just stay in the mansion, not allowed to go anywhere." Shi Sheng raised his head suddenly, what was he doing in the palace.
Entering the palace will only make yourself sick.
"Your servant knows, you can go back to sleep." Dan Qing helped the Queen Mother to lie down again, and carefully put down the brocade tent, not daring to go far, so she waited outside the palace gate.
After finally surviving until dawn and the rain stopped, Shi Sheng changed into plain clothes and couldn't wait to go to Zhonggong.
Walking outside the central palace, Shi Sheng stopped suddenly, Danqing looked up, pursed his lips and smiled.
Yan Ru stood outside the central palace, and the maid behind her handed the door sticker of Yan's house to the servant for inspection.
Yan Ru seemed to have sensed something, and turned around slowly, Shi Sheng was standing not far away, looking at her.
The two looked at each other.
