A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

The wind blows the lanterns under the eaves, the lanterns dangle, and it is calm after all.

King Chen: "Father, with you here, what prince do you want?"

"If you become a crown prince, you will have your own Zhan Shifu, and you will have the power to handle the government. You don't need to get the consent of the father and the emperor." Emperor Longfeng laughed: "Lingzhou Ming family, it's just a matter of your words. ."

"Even if Erchen is not the prince, if you want to clean them up, it's a matter of a word with you." King Chen shook his head: "I can ask you for something before, and I have to do it myself in the future, so what does this prince mean?"

"Men start a family and start a business, and they have to support their wives and children. Don't you want the princess to see you calm and decisive, pointing out the world?"

"Don't you want your princess to feel that you can't do anything except ask your father for something?"

"Do you want the courtiers to laugh at me and say that I can't find a good successor?"

"Your eldest brother's personality is upright. Although he is smart, he doesn't know how to be flexible. Your brother is even more straightforward. Those who are too slick are not wise emperors. The fourth..."

Referring to Yun Yanze, Emperor Longfeng looked at King Chen: "His heart "nature" is one of all your brothers who is not suitable to be an emperor."

"You are my beloved son, with the power of an emperor." Emperor Longfeng sighed: "When the late emperor was on the throne, the people lived in hardships. No matter whether you respect the noble concubine or the poor women in the concubine palace, they are all just evil of the late emperor. It's a drop in the ocean. If you can sympathize with the imperial concubine, you will understand how important it is to the people of the world."

"The world is not just two words." Emperor Longfeng opened the window and let King Chen see the flowers and trees outside, and the bright moon in the sky: "The world is full of tens of thousands of people, their lives are separated from death, their hunger, hunger, cold and warmth, all are In the anger of the emperor."

"When your princess was born, she was forced to be separated from her family and abandoned in the mountains and forests. The culprit is not the Ming family in Lingzhou, but the late emperor."

"He listened to the slander, did not distinguish between loyalty and traitor, and made the entire court a black smoke. Your princess is the lucky one among the victims." Emperor Longfeng turned to look at King Chen: "Du Qing, you are me. With Meidai's child, you have Zhen's decisiveness and Meidai's kindness, I believe you will become a good prince."

King Chen walked to the window, closed the window, took up his robe and draped it over him: "Your robe has been taken off, what kind of night wind is blowing."

"That's all." Emperor Longfeng smiled lovingly: "You are still young, we will talk about these things later. I promise you about the Ming family in Lingzhou. You can rest at Taiyang Palace tonight."

"They're all people with daughters-in-law, so what are you doing here?" King Chen helped Emperor Longfeng tidy up his robes: "You rest early, don't stay up all night until this late."

As long as there are many affairs in the court, the father and the emperor are afraid that the mother will find out that he stays up late to handle government affairs, so he will find an excuse to stay in the Taiyang Palace.

"I heard that someone in the palace said gossip about the fourth child, and you dealt with it?" Emperor Longfeng sat on the dragon bed.

King Chen sat down next to him: "My son should let Lao Tzu discipline him. What is the outsider's mouth? There is a folk saying that the meat is rotten in the pot, and there is no reason for outsiders to take it away."

Emperor Longfeng laughed: "You are right."

Everyone in the world thought that it was because of Meidai that he loved Du Qing so much.

But he didn't know that what he liked was his "nature" of heart.

"Hurry up and rest. It's not dawn tomorrow, so you have to rush to the big court meeting." King Chen always felt that being an emperor, especially a Ming Jun, often went out of bed under the stars, carried the Sunrise Palace behind his back, and often got up in the middle of the night to deal with emergencies. .

Although power is tempting, if you can't exercise self-control, being in a high position will only harm more people.

"My son, I sincerely hope that you can live long and be healthy and be blessed with peace." Emperor Longfeng of the Chen Dynasty bowed deeply, turned and walked out of the Taiyang Palace.

The palace was extremely quiet, with the occasional sound of insects. The eunuch palace maid on duty walked by with a smile, and when she saw the chariot he was riding, she quickly restrained her smile and respectfully retreated to the side.

The armored guard passed by, and the sword collided with the armor, making a sound.

They respectfully bowed their hands to him, and the red ying on their helmets moved slowly in the night wind.

"Stop." King Chen looked at the lantern, and the guards on duty who slowly walked away, turned back to look in the direction of Taiyang Palace: "Go back to Taiyang Palace."

Jiu Zhu woke up from the quilt, and the king Chen beside her was sleeping. She thought about it and shrank her head back.

There were birds chirping outside, she looked at the long eyelashes on King Chen's face, smiled and silently counted how many eyelashes he had.

Someone outside was pacing non-stop, and it seemed that there was something urgent they wanted to report to them, so they didn't dare to come in and disturb them.

Jiu Zhu supported the pillow with one hand, turned over and jumped out of bed, wrapped her robe around her body, and went outside with her toes on her toes: "What happened?"

"Princess." Seeing Jiuzhu coming out, she walked over to her on the spring equinox and whispered in her ear, "Something happened to Zhang Liugong."

"What's wrong?"

"The fourth imperial concubine has a miscarriage." The face of the spring equinox was a little pale: "The person who came to spread the word said that the fourth imperial concubine woke up later than usual today, and the people serving her were not at ease. When she entered the inner room, she found that The quilt under the Fourth Prince Concubine was dyed red, and the child in her belly was gone."

Jiu Zhu was stunned for a moment: "Go to the warehouse to get the 'medicine' for nourishing qi and blood, go and have a look right away."

"Wangfei, you wait." The maids surrounded her: "The slaves will wait for you to dress up."

Jiu Zhu sat in front of the dressing table, her brows furrowed tightly. She had only met Sun Caiyao a few days ago.

The appearance is very good, and it does not look like it is easy to miscarry.

In the room of Zhang Liugong's small courtyard, Sun Caiyao was sitting on the head of the bed, drinking the "medicine" brought by Bai Shao, his expression was not like sadness, nor anger, but more like numbness.

Yun Yanze walked into the room and waved everyone in the room to step back. The worry and distress on his face disappeared little by little.

Sun Caiyao sneered: "Your Highness, finally don't have to act in front of me?"

Yun Yanze: "The child is gone, you are in a bad mood now, rest in the room."

"You disgusting hypocrite." Sun Caiyao said bitterly: "I really regret, I really regret marrying you."

"Isn't it because you approached at the beginning and wanted to marry?" Yun Yanze said blankly, "Now that this king has lost power, and Yun Duqing is still the high-ranking King Chen, do you regret it?"

"That's a pity." He sneered: "Nian, if you didn't go boating on the lake with me, maybe you would be Princess Chen now. How kind Yun Duqing is to her princess, silk satin, and jewelry and jades kept going to her house. Let's set off fireworks and firecrackers with her, accompany her to climb mountains and enjoy the scenery, and accompany her to make paper kites."

"Unfortunately, your life is not good." He walked to the bed and clamped her chin with his hand: "I know you saw what happened last night."

Sun Caiyao's pupils widened, her eyes filled with tears: "You are a lunatic!"

"It's a good thing to marry you with all your heart." Yun Yanze loosened her chin: "Remember that you have a brother who works in a foreign country, and you obediently pray for him. In case of any accident, it's not too bad. Okay, right?"

"Nian rides on horseback and catches the windowless child, it's not you at all, right?" Sun Caiyao asked sharply, "You've been lying."

"Liar to you?" Yun Yanze chuckled lightly: "When did you admit that it was that person, everything is your own thoughts, what's the deal with me?"

"No wonder...no wonder..."

Sun Caiyao finally understood that it was no wonder that Ming Jiuzhu in the dream would die with him later. Poor her, she still felt that Ming Jiuzhu acted ruthlessly and worried about him everywhere, but she didn't expect that she was the fool.

"Let me think about it, that year there was indeed a prince who saved the child who fell out of the window." Yun Yanze's face was filled with crazy pleasure: "Guess who?"

Sun Caiyao's face was as white as paper.

"Looks like you've guessed it."

"It's the Yun Duqing whom you despised so much." Yun Yanze laughed out loud: "If you hadn't seduced you, you might be able to marry your sweetheart."

Now that his life has been full of misfortune, seeing others in pain is equally pleasing to him.

"Sister Spring Equinox, listen, it seems that someone is crying." Jiuzhu looked behind the rockery: "You take someone to see, what's going on?"

The vernal equinox came back soon: "Princess Princess, is a palace maid who raised a cat for Princess Roude. The cat she raised had its limbs broken by someone, and when she found it outside Zhang Liugong, the cat had already died for half its life. No more. She feels sorry for the cat and is afraid of the princess' punishment, so she hides here and weeps."

Jiuzhu frowned, she remembered that Concubine Zhao's cat also had two front legs broken in Zhang Liugong.

After she walked to the rockery, she saw the little palace maid holding the cat and sobbing softly. The fluffy cat looked very pitiful.

"Alive." Jiuzhu thought for a while, took a "medicine" pill from her purse, twisted her fingers lightly, crushed the "medicine", opened the kitten's mouth, and fed the "medicine" into it.

"Princess, what kind of 'drug' is this?"

"The 'medicine' refined by the master said that as long as it doesn't hurt the inner abdomen, it can cure diseases and save lives." Jiuzhu saw that the cat had a lot of gas, but it was useless to seek an imperial doctor: "Just try it."

"Thank you, princess, thank you, princess." The little palace maid hugged the cat and thanked Jiuzhu again and again.

"Nothing, you guard the cat here, don't move it." Jiu Zhu "touched" the cat's head: "When you come out from Zhang Liugong, I will help you deliver the cat to Princess Roude."

The princess is protecting her.

The little palace maid still didn't understand, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiuzhu.

When Jiuzhu left, she leaned against the rockery and sat dazedly with the cat in her arms. I didn't know how long she had waited, when she suddenly heard the cat meow softly.

She lowered her head excitedly and saw the cat opened her eyes, and hot tears flowed from her eyes again.

When Jiuzhu arrived at Sun Caiyao's house, several other princesses had already arrived. The expressions of the princesses were a little down, and when they saw Jiuzhu come in, there was no smile on their faces.

"Sister-in-law four." Jiuzhu gently held her wrist: "How is your body?"

Sun Caiyao looked at Jiuzhu who came from the Qilin Palace, held her hand tightly, held back her tears for a long time, and rolled down.

"It's not easy for you to cry now, take care of your body now, and you will have everything in the future." Seeing the beauty weeping and weeping, Jiuzhu softened, she took out a handkerchief to help Sun Caiyao gently wipe her tears: "Anytime, girls always Be nice to yourself."

"Just cry." Seeing Sun Caiyao crying so sadly, Princess Huai's eyes were red: "The imperial doctor said that she was too frightened and angry, which caused the miscarriage. If there is something in your heart, if you cry, you must relax. a little."

It's just that they didn't expect that the relationship between the fourth sibling and the fifth sibling didn't seem too close, but after she came, she burst into tears.

Hearing Jiuzhu's consolation, Sun Caiyao was even more sad. She reached out and hugged Jiuzhu's waist and burst into tears.

This woman, whom she once feared, felt guilty, and guarded against, became the only person who could give her a little sense of security.

Jiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then she reached out her hand, placed it on Sun Caiyao's back, and patted it slowly.

Bai Shao came in with the "medicine\

,"Seeing the fourth prince concubine leaning on Princess Chen's arms, she looked down at the steaming soup "medicine" in the bowl, and stood aside with her head bowed.

"No more, no more." Sun Caiyao cried while muttering, "It's all my fault, it's my fault."

Her voice was so low that no one but Jiuzhu could hear her.

"It's not your fault." Jiu Zhu comforted her: "The child is just too naughty. He went to play elsewhere and forgot the way home. When you recover, you will come back."

"It's fine if he doesn't come to such a home." Sun Caiyao lay beside Jiuzhu's ear and whispered quickly, "Be careful of Yun Yanze, he's a lunatic."

Suddenly, she pushed Jiuzhu away and sneered at her: "What's the use of such comforting words, you are mocking?"

Jiuzhu turned her head naturally, she saw Yun Yanze standing outside the door, looking haggard and pained.
