Chapter 44 The aftermath of the storm
"Should we say it or not?" Tuantuan was caught in a battle between heaven and man for a while. After thinking for a long time, Tuantuan finally made an agreement with his master. This agreement was: "When the master's first child is born, , I will definitely reveal all the secrets I have hidden."
Is this threatening? Shen Qianfeng is in a very bad mood. Who has allowed his cultivation level to be too low? If he mobilizes even a little bit of the power of heaven and earth, he will collapse. If the child is born, it will be very fast. But Shen Qianfeng Qianfeng felt that she was still not ready to be a mother. The current crisis in the empire meant that she was in the right position. But she still had no way to give birth to her own child, so she just let everything happen.
I originally thought about waiting a few months after getting married, giving myself some medicine, and not having children for the time being, but it seems that this is definitely not possible.
Now she had no control at all. No matter how strong she was, she could not overcome the destiny. Her head hurt, and Shen Qianfeng fell asleep again without thinking about fighting against the tired force in her body.
When Shen Qianfeng woke up again, it was already three days later. During these three days, the imperial capital was turbulent. Although Jiang Qi's Shen Pavilion had been trying to suppress what happened at the Peach Blossom Festival, those ministers and big families who lost their daughters The heads of the family attacked the emperor together. The only condition they had was to find someone to take responsibility for the accident.
The emperor angrily threw the memorial to the ground and walked away. No one can call him out on this matter. If it is not done well, it will arouse the anger of the Five Tribes Alliance. If no statement is made, the country will definitely be in chaos. of.
Jiang Qi has been investigating behind the scenes who is fueling the flames, but there has been no news. Even the brothers Zou Jin and Zou Yu, who knew the truth, did not know why they left without saying goodbye. As if they were threatened by something, someone soon found out There was an incident where Princess Qianfeng treated a person who was supposed to die during the Peach Blossom Festival, thus angering God and causing punishment.
The true story became more and more serious, and soon there was a voice saying that Princess Qianfeng was an unlucky person. Since the birth of Princess Qianfeng, the imperial city has been in constant disaster. The emperor was asked to drive Princess Qianfeng out of the imperial city. , and to protect the rights in her hands.
With a bang, in the underground hall of the Shenge base, Jiang Qi threw the quilt he was drinking water on the ground. He angrily yelled at Wu Song who came to report: "A conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy."
Wu Song knelt down and his whole body was trembling: "Master, we think so too. The people behind the scenes just want to force the empress out of the imperial city and then remove the threat from her. As long as there is no Situ around you. With the support of their families and the Five Tribes Alliance, those people can carry out their own plans?"
"Who are those people you are talking about?" Jiang Qi seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes full of ferocity. Situ Zheng, who had been standing in the darkness, did not speak, but when he saw something was wrong with the man's mood .Slowly walked out of the darkness, and the next moment his hand was on Jiang Qi's shoulder.
"Calm down!" Situ Zheng's two words really calmed Jiang Qi down, so he continued: "Xiao Feng'er has woken up, let's see what she can do?"
When Xiao Feng'er woke up, it was the best news he had heard in the past few days. He calmly returned to his desk. He filtered out everything that happened today, and then told Wu Song to continue monitoring the entire Imperial City. He took Situ Zheng back to Princess Qianfeng.
Shen Qianfeng, who woke up from this matter, immediately curled up her lips after hearing what happened in the Imperial City today. She secretly thought in her heart that it would be such a despicable method. Although the other party's method was not very clever, but it was necessary. It is already very difficult to break the situation? If you just take a step back, the other party will most likely force the emperor to cancel the imperial edict. Your engagement with Brother Qi will also be in jeopardy.
Tuantuan looked at the owner who was sitting on the bed, chewing hot soup slowly and said with a smile: "The emperor really dares?"
"It's not that I didn't dare, but I didn't force it to this point?" Shen Qianfeng finished the hot soup in the bowl in several mouthfuls and handed the soup bowl to Xiaohua who was standing by.
"Now we have to analyze our opponents. What are we going to do?"
Tuantuan frowned his eyebrows: "It's obvious that they are really right for the master. Do they want the position of the third king's concubine?" He shook his head vigorously: "Is it possible that the forces behind the Lu family are behind this?"
Shen Qianfeng nodded lightly: "Yes, we will always hold each other's fatal handle in our hands. So we have to give the other party some benefits before they can willingly jump out." While speaking, she came from the darkness of the storage space. He handed a purple-gold token to the younger sister and said, "I predict that the emperor's people will arrive soon and hand over this purple-gold token to the emperor. Let's pack up and leave the Imperial City early tomorrow morning."
In less than seven days, the antidote for my mother will be refined. By leaving the Imperial City at this time, one can get rid of the interference caused by this matter, and the second advantage is that the people behind the scenes can completely jumped out. Now that it has been determined that someone from the Lu family was behind the attack on him, he cannot easily bypass these people.
"If someone comes and asks why the master handed over the Purple Gold Arrow, I don't know how to get back?"
Shen Qianfeng said with a smile: "Let someone tell the emperor what to do. I want to see if Lu Yan really dares to take the position of the princess."
The little sister put away the purple gold arrow and walked out. Just a few hours later, the Emperor's personal Eunuch Cao came to the princess's house. He was originally going to convey the Emperor's decree to enter the palace. However, he was blocked by the Princess's personal maid. When he came back, Eunuch Cao did not expect that when he returned, he would return with the Purple Gold Arrow to return to his life.
When Jiang Qi returned to the princess mansion, he immediately knew what Xiao Feng'er had done. He walked to the study room without stopping and saw Shen Qianfeng writing furiously to write down the official work that he had missed after being unconscious for only a few days. After finishing it, when I saw the last one, I couldn’t help but stretch.
Situ Zheng, who was following behind, sighed: "Although I understand that Xiao Feng'er did this for the sake of the overall situation. But if the Purple Gold Arrow falls into the hands of others, they will definitely dislike the bloody situation."
In the room, someone who was writing furiously raised his head, put down the brush in his hand, and said to the outside: "Brother Qi, uncle, are you here?"
Jiang Qi walked in and said in a bad mood: "Why did you hand over the Purple Gold Arrow? Don't you know what it symbolizes?"
Shen Qianfeng smiled: "I handed over the Purple Gold Arrow, but I didn't say that I would give the real Purple Gold Arrow to my father. I guess my father will be so worried that he can't sleep when he sees the Purple Gold Arrow now."
What Shen Qianfeng said was absolutely correct. When Eunuch Cao took the Purple Gold Arrow into his hands, he already noticed that the weight was wrong. After asking Eunuch Cao several times, he determined that the fake Purple Gold Arrow must have come from Shen Qianfeng. 's handwriting.
The emperor was so angry that he scolded Eunuch Cao and drove him out of the imperial study. The next morning, the emperor issued an order that Princess Qianfeng presided over the Peach Blossom Festival, which resulted in the casualties of hundreds of descendants of major families. Although Qianfeng The princess finally solved the trouble, but she had to shoulder an unshirkable responsibility. In the end, she decided to take back the purple golden arrow, and demoted Princess Qianfeng to the imperial capital and returned to her fief for one year of reflection.
This holy intention caused an uproar throughout the Imperial City, especially those princes and ministers who no longer dared to dream about sending women to the Three Princes' Mansion, and were ready to take action as soon as Shen Qianfeng left the Imperial City. But what no one expected was that Qian Qianfeng On the day Princess Feng left the city, after our third prince returned to his palace, he suddenly announced that he was sick and refused to see outsiders.
So for a time, all the major forces sent out their best secret guards, one after another, towards the Three Princes' Mansion. Every night, the bodies of dozens of black-clad secret guards would be carried out, until the first time Princess Qianfeng left the imperial capital. Three days in the evening, the third prince's secret guards seemed to have disappeared. This palace is just that you can take away the patrols of the guards and come and go freely throughout the palace.
Another piece of news that made people break out in a cold sweat was that one night a secret guard who sneaked into the Three Princes' Mansion suddenly saw Lu Yan coming out of the prince's room in disheveled clothes. At this moment, the entire imperial capital city was shocked. The opportunity was blown. Almost everyone in the Imperial City was speaking ill of the Third Prince behind the scenes.
On this day, someone finally jumped out first. The emperor really didn't expect that the first person to jump out was King Su. His third brother. It is said that he and Marquis Guo were very close during these days. The emperor was watching When dealing with memorials, generally no one dares to disturb you unless it is a big deal.
Although King Su has handed over the command of the Royal God Army for almost eight years, he still has a deep foundation in the army. He is still very relieved about his younger brother. Before he ascended the throne, he was the first to lead him The strength stands by your side.
When Jiang Qi succeeded him as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial God Army, it was also the result of the great help of his younger brother. In the end, the emperor couldn't bear to let his younger brother wait for too long, and finally put down his pen and said: "What happened to the third brother?" Find me!"
The emperor must always ask questions about things that he knows well. Otherwise, he will lose the demeanor that an emperor should have.
"Second brother, are you asking questions knowingly?" King Su said with a decisive look on his face: "A few days ago, you issued an imperial edict and Princess Qianfeng changed back to Fenghui County! Isn't it a little too close to human nature? What happened at the Peach Blossom Festival? We all don’t want this to happen. But if it does happen, it has been perfectly solved. Wouldn’t it just mean that some people died? Just give them some benefits. Why should we have a falling out with the Situ family now?”
"What do you mean by third brother?" The emperor pretended to be profound. He closed his eyes and seemed to be a little tired from work just now and take a good rest. But for Prince Su, who has experienced countless bloody battles on the battlefield, the emperor's mood is not very good. . He really felt it, but for the safety of the empire, he still had to finish what he said to feel at ease.
"Second brother, you don't know what Qi'er has become in the past two days. Last night, it was reported that Lu Yan came out of Qi'er's room disheveled in the middle of the night. Isn't this nonsense? Isn't it, second brother Qi'er? Are we really going to dethrone Shen Qianfeng as the third royal concubine?"
The emperor slapped his hand on the table and shouted: "How dare you! Whoever dares to spread such rumors, I will be the first to kill him." The emperor stared coldly at his third brother, his heart felt cold, he dared 100% Prince Su came here to test the truth. Although he promised Shen Qianfeng to cooperate, as the emperor, he also had his own bottom line.
As long as anyone dares to step on that red line, there will only be one consequence, and that is to be shattered to pieces.
"Third brother, since you reported this rumor, I will leave it to you to find the initiator. I hope you will give me a satisfactory answer when Xiao Feng'er returns." The emperor did not leave. His own desk and the royal aura in his body made Prince Su shaky and did not dare to rebel at all.
When King Su left the imperial study, the clothes he wore were soaked with sweat from fear. If it hadn't been for the young eunuch who called for a soft sedan, King Su would definitely not have been able to leave the palace today.
Not long after King Su left the imperial study, Concubine Min walked in from another door. She sat down next to the emperor without saluting. Eunuch Cao wisely withdrew, leaving only the two people in the room.
"The Queen is about to die, isn't the Emperor happy?"
The emperor knew the news the night Shen Qianfeng left the imperial capital. When he first heard the news, the emperor didn't sleep well all night. As a result, Concubine Min didn't close her eyes either, and she lay on the bed with her man and had a chat. night.
"I remember that when I entered the palace, my sister's smile was forever imprinted in my mind. My sister has been sleeping for so many years, will she still be the same generous person when she wakes up again?" Situ Min sighed: "Xiao Feng'er said that my sister is just a mortal. Even if she can wake up, she will only have five years of life at most. It's just destiny that she can't change."
The emperor shook his head: "I am very satisfied to be able to see her smile again, and I will not have any resentment in my heart."
Concubine Min reached out to open a memorial and read it. After reading it, she closed it again and put it on the table. She smiled: "I really didn't expect that a small book of warnings could actually make Xiao Feng'er's talent come into play." It’s gotten to this point. Although I’ve been reading this book for half a month, I still don’t know how to cure it.”
Concubine Min handed a pamphlet written by herself to the emperor. The emperor took it and doubled it before giving it to Concubine Min and said: "This book is a warning that I spent when I was a child. I remember that this book is for you My sister escaped from my place. I really don’t understand why the Ye family and the other Three Kingdoms must know this book.”
