   Chapter 649 Floating (2)

   Mrs. Puyang Hou had lunch in Shouning Palace and retired from Li Palace.

  Empress Dowager Zhao stopped taking naps, and went down to the Wenhua Hall with the help of the palace servants.

   Empress Dowager Zhao's body used to be pretty good. However, since Emperor Yongjia lay down, Empress Dowager Zhao has become anxious and worried, having trouble sleeping and eating, losing weight quickly and getting old.

  Emperor Yongjia lay on the dragon couch and couldn't move. This embarrassed appearance was only allowed to be seen by the Queen Mother Zhao.

   Actually, Emperor Yongjia didn't even want to see his own mother. However, Empress Dowager Zhao insisted on coming. He couldn't keep his mother out, so he had to endure for half an hour every day.

   Lying on the bed and unable to move, I had to listen to my mother cry, "Son, you can't sleep in the future and can't go to the morning, but what's the point?" Only Emperor Yongjia knew the taste of it.

   Empress Dowager Zhao didn't cry today, she sat down on the bed and started talking about the Marquis of Puyang.

  Emperor Yongjia heard something wrong after listening for a while. He frowned and glanced at the Queen Mother Zhao, her voice was a little dark: "Mother, Mrs. Puyang Hou has entered the palace again today?"

  Emperor Yongjia speaks slowly and has some difficulty speaking, which is far less smooth than before.

   Empress Dowager Zhao didn't notice her son's displeasure: "Yeah! Your cousin is thinking about your body all day. He can't leave the barracks himself, and he can't come to the palace to visit. He has to let his daughter-in-law come in."

"The Marquis of Guangping and King Xingyang are not good people. You just need to be suspicious. The Marquis of Puyang is the nephew of the Ai family and your cousin. Over the years, he has listened to you in everything and is first-class. loyal servant."

   "You still have nothing to worry about him. Let's hurry up and let him go back to Beijing and enter the palace! The Ai family has not seen him for a few days, and I really miss him."

  The anger in Emperor Yongjia's eyes gathered little by little, and he said word by word: "What does the Marquis of Puyang want to enter the palace for?"

   Empress Dowager Zhao heard Emperor Yongjia's unhappiness, and was a little annoyed: "What else can he do when he enters the palace, naturally he is not at ease, and wants to see you in person."

   "You can't even trust him, but you do trust Liang Zhan. These days, you leave everything to Liang Zhan. Don't you worry that Liang Zhan will be indulged?"

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

   General Liang was guarding outside the screen.

   Empress Dowager Zhao can't say what she said!

   Sure enough, when General Liang heard this, he knelt down with sincerity and fear: "I am deeply grateful to the emperor, and I am loyal to the emperor. The empress dowager said such a thing, I am really frightened."

   Empress Dowager Zhao was shocked to realize that she had left out her mouth and was a little embarrassed.

  Liang Zhan has been a personal soldier of Emperor Yongjia since he was twelve years old, and he has been there for more than 30 years. When the job is diligent, there has never been a mistake. She just said that with a little overdone.

   "Ai's casual remarks, don't take it to heart." Empress Dowager Zhao coughed to make up for her gaffe.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't have the strength to raise his hand and rub his forehead, so he could only say: "Liang Zhan, I'm talking to the Queen Mother, please step back for now."

   General Liang retreated in response.

  Emperor Yongjia exhaled forcefully and sighed: "Mother, I am now like this, and I have to be on guard. Let the Marquis of Puyang stay in the military camp, and the Marquis of Guangping, the King of Xingyang, too."

Seeing that her son was so angry, Empress Dowager Zhao was a little naive: "Aijia is also thinking that when the Marquis of Puyang enters the palace, he can also share your worries. The safety of the palace is in Liang Zhan's hands. In case... Aijia is In case, if something happens, there is no one who can suppress Liang Zhan."

   The Queen Mother Zhao also understands what balance is.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't know what expression to put on, so he squeezed out a few words: "There is Mr. Lu."

When it comes to Lu Mingyu, the Queen Mother Zhao has nothing to say, and only muttered a few words: "This Lu family is too powerful. There is the Lu family behind her, and there are 100,000 Xingyang troops. The prince also obeys her words. The emperor is not worried. The Lu family is too powerful, and the Lu family will have the final say in this court in the future."

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

   Empress Dowager Zhao is a goddess.

   Sometimes confused, Zhao family believe what they say.

  Sometimes a few sober words came out suddenly.

  Emperor Yongjia was stabbed in the heart and lungs. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "I keep the Marquis of Guangping just to restrain the Lu family."

   Empress Dowager Zhao immediately said: "How is the Marquis of Guangping as loyal as Marquis Puyang?"

  Emperor Yongjia glanced at the Queen Mother Zhao with complicated eyes, and suddenly asked, "If I suddenly close my eyes and the Marquis of Puyang supports the Fourth Prince, what will the Queen Mother do?"

   Empress Dowager Zhao was stunned by the question, and she blurted out: "Isn't there a prince? Why did it suddenly get involved with Xiao Si? What does this have to do with the Zhao family?"

  Although Empress Dowager Zhao likes the Fourth Prince the most, she also loves Prince Li Jing. However, he never thought of supporting the Fourth Prince or anything like that.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't know whether he should be pleased or not. After a long while, he said: "The mother doesn't have to worry about these things. The prince will return to Beijing soon. Let the prince worry about these things in the future!"

  …

The news that the   Prince was about to return to Beijing soon spread throughout the court and the opposition.

  The people of the capital, who were originally in a state of panic, breathed a sigh of relief: "This is really good, His Royal Highness is finally coming back."

   "With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Empress, the Great Wei can't be in chaos."

   "That's right. Everyone is gone, just do whatever you need to do."

   Even the courtiers, knowing that His Royal Highness the Prince had left for Beijing, quickly settled down.

  The emperor is not successful, and there is still His Royal Highness!

  The fourth prince also expressed his relief: "That's great, the second brother is finally coming back."

The eldest prince glanced at the fourth prince, and sneered: "When the prince comes back, it's not too late for you to speak to his face. Say this in front of me, and I won't spread the word for you. Are you flattering in vain! "

  After the burial of the fifth prince, there was another disturbance in the mansion of the Marquis of Guangping, and then Li Hao was "invited" to the Xingyang barracks by the King of Xingyang.

   One thing after another.

   The eldest prince and the fourth prince simply stayed in their own mansion in order to avoid suspicion. Neither enter the palace nor go to the yamen as an errand. Also to avoid being suspicious.

  The two brothers get together to drink from time to time, complaining and sneering at each other is a common thing.

  The fourth prince also glanced back and said, "In the future, the world will belong to the second brother. Not to mention flattering, even kneeling is also right. Could it be that the elder brother is still not convinced?"

   The eldest prince glared at him with anger: "Bah! Flatterer!"

  The fourth prince was not annoyed, and said lightly: "I plan to enter the palace tomorrow, and ask to see the father, the father, please give me the vassal land, and let me go to the vassal. Do you want to go with me?"

   The eldest prince was shocked, his mouth was one step faster than his brain: "Li Xian, are you crazy!"

  The fourth prince sighed helplessly: "Forget it, the eldest brother doesn't want to go, and I'm not reluctant. In short, I'm going to the palace tomorrow to see the emperor."
