Chapter 1238 The change of the court situation The prince leaves Beijing
What if these factors that promote the victory of the court today are not available?
I couldn't help but look back. In the vast snowy scenery, Chang Qing's room stood quietly like hers, with snow coverings, which made the quiet look even more indifferent.
I don't know how Nianshen answered when she asked about it before, but just a few words at the gate of the palace would not change a person's opinion. Nianshen would dare to go to the court to speak out for advice. First, he had such an idea, and secondly, I'm afraid Chang Qing did not give him too much resistance.
Therefore, when asking, Chang Qing himself told him not to consider both parties in the court and only expressed his own opinions.
But what after that?
Nian Shen's attitude has been clear, which is contrary to his "grandfather". In this way, will Master Chang find a way to have any impact on Nian Shen - to understand the benefits and disadvantages? Or, put pressure on him as an elder?
And just then, I suddenly remembered something, raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanhao's back: "Your Majesty, I seem to have heard before that Your Majesty wants His Highness to follow His Highness Wu to inspect?"
"Um."
“…”
My heart suddenly sank.
It seems that the prince’s departure from the court would be the biggest weakening of Fu Badai’s side without having to explain the pros and cons, or putting pressure on him as an elder.
I subconsciously said, "Then this trip-"
"I have issued an order for this trip," Pei Yuanhao did not look back, but his voice was a little heavy: "My decree cannot be changed every day."
"…Minister girl, I understand."
In other words, the prince must leave Beijing.
Then the next thing is-
While thinking about this, he had already taken me into the small yard. Madam Wu happened to come out to pour water. When she saw us, she hurried over to pay her respects. Pei Yuanhao waved his hand lightly and asked, "How about the princess?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the princess is taking a nap now."
"Oh. I'll go and have a look."
"Your Majesty, do you need a servant to wake up the princess?"
"No need, just look at her, don't wake up the princess."
"yes."
Madam Wu served us in. The room was warm. Miaoyan was covered with a red quilt. She slept peacefully with her eyes closed. Her even breath could almost hear the sweetness of her sleep. Pei Yuanhao walked over and sat on the edge of the bed with a smile. After looking at her for a while, Madam Wu and Su Su brought hot tea. I thought about it and asked them to put it on the table, then waved their hands to let them go.
At this time, Pei Yuanhao turned around and looked at me: "Recently, her condition-"
I said softly, "Nothing improved."
"No matter what, she will be fine. This disease cannot be urgent."
"The girl knows."
As he said that, he looked back and tucked the quilt on Miaoyan's shoulder tighter. Then he got up and put down the curtain, walked gently to the table and sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Then, he looked up at me and said, "Are you still worried about that?"
I stood aside and whispered: "The Emperor's words must indeed make the people scared."
"Yes," he nodded softly: "Although the court's discussion has been completed today, the matter has not been completed. I can see that the court has long had objections to Xichuan for years and has made Xichuan a country among the country. If this continues..."
He didn't finish his words, but just glanced at me again.
There was no change in expression on my face, but my heart became even tighter.
What does Pei Yuanhao mean when he said these words to me? Do he really trust me so much and discuss this with me? Or is he hinting at me?
I am the eldest lady of the Yan family in Xichuan. During the period when Wu Yanqiu was sent to Xichuan, even though he had not participated in any incidents, his shrewdness would definitely see that a large number of people and forces in Xichuan were still dominated by me. If Xichuan is the "country of the country", then I will be at least half of the master of this "country of the country".
Pei Yuanhao didn't move Liu Qinghan at this moment, so he naturally had the consideration of taking the overall situation into consideration. However, Xichuan could not stay still. If he really wanted to move, he was afraid that he would move—
Pei Yuanhao leaned against the table, bent his hand on the edge of the table, gently stroked a jade cicada hanging on his wrist, and said softly: "I know that those people in the court have collusions with interests, enemies and friends in the morning and evening. However, some people and some forces are enemies or friends. If they don't understand, they will really cause trouble."
...
I vaguely felt the deep meaning in his words, but I didn't dare to respond, and just stood by in silence.
Neither of them spoke, and just remained silent for a while. Pei Yuanhao seemed to finally feel that he should find something to say, so he asked, "You have been with the queen when you get up early?"
"No. I woke up early and I was going to pay my respects to the Queen, but I heard that the Crown Prince was not easy to disturb me, so I went out to take a walk first."
“Where have you gone?”
"I originally wanted to go to Yunhua Palace to see Concubine He and the Second Highness, but unfortunately they are not here."
"Oh...Ho Concubine?"
He seemed to feel something, raised his head and looked at me, and I said, "I saw the Second Highness far away on the night of the Chinese New Year, and I saw that his Highness grew better."
"yes……"
He said softly, as if sighing: "Speaking of this, I haven't visited them for a long time."
“…”
"If it weren't for you-"
Speaking of this, he seemed to regret his own words and hurriedly cut off the second half of the sentence. I understood what he was concerned about and didn't mention it. He just smiled faintly: "It's okay for His Majesty the Emperor to take a look. Yet, the Second Prince - it doesn't matter how much pain it hurts."
"I think so too, but I can't get out of my mind. Let's do this. Since I've talked about it, why don't you come with me and see him now?"
“…”
I was a little hesitant. Although visiting Liu Li and Nian Yun was not a big deal, going to visit him with him would be a big deal.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So I smiled faintly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please forgive me. The girl was already a little tired in the morning. At this moment, I just want to have a good rest."
"That's how..."
He felt a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, just said, "That's fine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He sat in my room for a while, but the gossip was nothing, and I was not in a good mood to deal with the gossip. When the meal was delivered at noon, he left. I breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the bed and leaned against the head of the bed, and hugged Miaoyan, who had been sleeping a little confused, into my arms.
Countless thoughts in my heart are constantly surging.
Taishi Chang, Shangshu Nangong...
Your Highness the Crown Prince...
The Queen...
Fu Badai, Pei Yuanhao...
The contest between these sides was originally a very simple matter of whether to use troops against Xichuan, but now it seems a bit confusing.
The prince did not stand on the side of Taishi Chang, and after the court discussion, Pei Yuanhao still handed the prince over to Wu Yanqiu and asked them to go out of Beijing for inspection.
Wu Yanqiu, where is he standing?
What does Chang Qing have in mind about the current situation and what impact does it have?
If, as Pei Yuanhao said, when all the Zoli who was discussing victory today is not here, and when Chang Taishi and Nangong Jinhong may win, will they launch a second attack?
What will happen at that time?

Several consecutive heavy snowstorms hindered Wu Yanqiu and the prince Nianshen's itinerary from Beijing. The days were delayed again and again. Finally, in early February, two days before the beginning of spring, the weather improved. The emperor's oral order asked the Secretary of State and the prince to prepare to officially leave Beijing for inspection.
On the night of the fourth day of the second month, the queen held a family dinner.
She came to invite me, but I also understood that I was not the only one in this family, and I would be a little confused when I went to the family banquet, so I politely said that. Later, the prince came to persuade me several times, but I refused.
At night, I heard a lively sound from the residence of the queen who had always been quiet, and the lights were brightly lit until very late.
The next day, it was officially the beginning of spring. Early in the morning, Miaoyan and I had breakfast when Nianshen came to my house.
He was wearing a new robe, looking very energetic, and he saluted me as soon as he entered the door: "Aunt Qing."
I smiled and said, "Oh, Your Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome."
He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, he stood up and looked at me, and I stroked his arm lightly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's clothes are bright, and you have never seen you wear them before."
"It was my mother who made it for me, because this time it was my first time leaving Beijing, so my mother asked me to put it on."
I sighed, "The Empress has done her best to make great efforts for His Highness."
"I'm still talking about my life," Nian Shen said, "After I went to bid farewell to my mother, she scolded me for a long time, and my knees hurt."
I smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter if your knee hurts. Did Your Highness remember?"
"Of course I remember," he said: "My mother also told me that Aunt Qing knows a lot. When I asked me to come and bid farewell to Aunt Qing, if Aunt Qing explains anything, I have to remember it more deeply."
"Did the Queen say that?"
"Yes, so--" he said, taking a step back, and bowing to me again: "Aunt Qing has anything to explain, just say it. Nian Shenxue listen carefully."
I couldn't help laughing.
I thought that even if Chang Qing and I didn’t turn against each other, there was still some grudges. Now it seems that the grudges are indeed grudges, but Chang Qing is still very clear about what to do and what not to do.
After all, she is a clear and sober person.
Thinking of this, I gently held Nian Shen's hand and said, "What else can Aunt Qing explain? Your Highness has grown up and can speak in the court with one word and a catastrophe. This is what Aunt Qing likes to see. What you need to do now is to keep your original heart and reflect in the moment, and never forget the path you should take because of your temporary compliment."
Nian Shen nodded solemnly after listening to my words.
