Hot search with cubs

Chapter 58 Disappointment

Chu Yang was right. At this time, Bai Xu cannot be protected, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Feng Jinghuai sat back down again, because he felt uneasy, he knocked off the stack of memorials on the side.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yong's Mansion sent some peaches picked from his backyard yesterday after the conferment ceremony, and your servant sent some to Funing Hall?"

"Huh?" Feng Jinghuai was taken aback for a moment, and then swept away the previous haze: "Go quickly, and tell the Queen Mother that the king asked you to send it."

It's not appropriate to help Bai Xu at this moment, but it's perfectly fine for Chu Yang to use the excuse of sending things to check on him.

Chu Yang left with less than half a cup of tea, Feng Jinghuai was thinking of any excuses to go to Funing Palace, when it was reported that Gao Song and Chen Fu were asking to see him.

What are they doing here?

Feng Jinghuai waved his hand, and the little eunuch called him in.

The two saluted one after another, Feng Jinghuai looked at the memorial on the table without looking up: "What's the matter, both of you, you want to see me when you are resting."

Gao Song cupped his hands respectfully and said, "The post-sealing ceremony has come to a successful conclusion, and I'm here to congratulate you."

"False talk is unnecessary." Feng Jinghuai was a little impatient: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"General Chen has to go back to the barracks. There has been a lot of movement on the border recently. I'm afraid there will be a war."

"General Chen has worked hard. You are my Yan's strongest wall, and I hope you will continue to work hard." Feng Jinghuai wanted to say these words from the bottom of his heart, but because of the emotions in his heart, he always said something insincere.

Chen Fu lowered his eyes, paused and said: "Your Majesty, I have sent another person to watch in the palace. I also hope that the young master can strictly abide by the rules in the palace and keep himself safe."

Feng Jinghuai clenched the pen in his hand, and then slapped it on the table furiously: "What exactly do you want me to do!"

"The ministers just hope that the king will be a wise king like before, without anyone's interference."

"You..." Feng Jinghuai pointed at Chen Fu, holding his breath until his chest hurts.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Song knelt down again: "We know that Your Majesty is resentful for such persecution by the minister and General Chen, but for the sake of the Great Yan Foundation, we have to do it. Your Majesty, if there is a war on the border, if there is another change in the court , The hearts of the people are scattered, and His Majesty must know what the land of Dayan will look like."

Feng Jinghuai was silent, and Chen Fu said again: "Who does the king like, the ministers have no right to interfere, but Bai Xu is a man who cannot leave a king's heir for Dayan, and the second is a monster race. If one day he wants to It's not good for Dayan, what should I do? For the sake of the king, the ministers can't kill him, but they can't help it. As long as he is in the harem, he can be the king's man in peace, whether he is male or female, human or demon, Nothing to do with me."

"I don't want to hear these words anymore, just step back, I know how to do it."

Gao Song and Chen Fu glanced at each other, got up and exited Qianyang Palace.

What they said was good, Feng Jinghuai also had to think carefully about how to choose between Dayan and Bai Xu.

You can't have both, and when you want both, there is bound to be conflict.The only feasible thing now is to balance the fish and the bear's paw, and don't cause trouble.

Qianyang Palace was unusually quiet, Feng Jinghuai leaned back on the chair wearily, thinking about a lot of things, it was almost lunch time outside.

Chu Yang came in from the outside and took a careful look at Feng Jinghuai: "Before the servant left, the queen mother asked the young master to wake up and go back to Yuxiu Palace to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. No one is allowed to see him."

Feng Jinghuai sat up straight, rubbed his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Including this king?"

"The Empress Dowager didn't say it, but that should be the meaning."

Feng Jinghuai sighed: "Let the palace people take good care of him, and there will only be more and more things like this in the future, just treat him as grinding his temper."

"Yes, slave, this is the arrangement."

Bai Xu was personally sent back to Yuxiu Palace by Eunuch Huang, and all the way her mind was full of words of pity and how she dealt with the officials and family members, and suddenly felt that she was really useless.She can neither be as complete and thoughtful as she is, nor can people like herself.

Looking around at everything, it seems that only Ah Huai is his own.

Yuxiu Palace was also very quiet, some of the original palace people were transferred away by the Empress Dowager, leaving only those who usually took care of Bai Xu, the whole palace seemed deserted and lonely.

Bai Xu was lying on the window sill, looking listlessly at the yard, when the maid came in with lunch, Bai Xu looked back and said, "Go to Qianyang Palace and tell the king that I want to see him."

"My lord, you shut yourself up and think about your mistakes. I'm afraid you can't meet the king at this time?"

"Ah Huai will come to see me." Bai Xu glanced at the dishes on the table, completely without appetite: "You just go."

"Yes."

After the maid went out, she hesitated at the door for a moment, and went to Qianyang Palace, and happened to meet Chu Yang who was going to Yuxiu Palace on the way.

After listening to the court lady's words, Chu Yang thought for a while and ordered: "Let the young master rest in Yuxiu Palace with peace of mind. Don't think too much. You take good care of him. Your Majesty will go to Yuxiu Palace when he finds the opportunity."

The palace lady Fu stepped back and ran back to Yuxiu Palace to pass the original words to Bai Xu, who was even more lethargic than before.

"The meaning of what he said is that he can't come to see me." Bai Xu got up and went back to the inner room, threw herself on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, the soreness in her heart flooded her nose, and tears flowed out immediately.

After kneeling all morning, now his knees are sore and painful, and the grievances accumulated for a long time hit him like a mountain, but his mind is full of Feng Jinghuai.

I don't know why, but at this moment, I just want Feng Jinghuai to be by my side. As long as I have him to comfort me, even if I kneel all morning, even if my words of pity make people feel uncomfortable, I can instantly forget about it and don't care about it .

But he didn't come.

Knowing that he was forced by the situation, but he didn't come, Bai Xu still felt disappointed and sad.

When Feng Jinghuai learned that Bai Xu wanted to see him, he couldn't sit still, and managed to control himself not to run to Yuxiu Palace, and it was said that the queen was asking to see him.

At this time, the last thing Feng Jinghuai wanted to see was Yan Lian, but he had to.

"Let her in." Feng Jinghuai put away the worry and anxiety on his face, took a memorial from his hand and looked at it.

Yan Lian walked into the palace gate, followed by the maid carrying things, the one who was kicked by Bai Xu yesterday.

"Your Majesty, my concubine boiled lotus seed soup to cool off the heat and relieve boredom, and I specially brought it here." Yan Lian took the porcelain cup and brought it over, walked to Feng Jinghuai and put the porcelain cup on the desk to uncover: "Concubine, concubine! Go up and drink."

"No need." Feng Jinghuai stood up and stepped aside: "I don't like desserts, take it down."

Yan Lian paused his hand that was about to fill the soup, lowered his eyes and smiled and said, "Then next time I will make something light and not too sweet."

"The dining room will do these things, and the queen doesn't need to do it herself."

Yan Lian still smiled, put away the porcelain cup in front of her and held it up: "Taking care of your husband is a wife's duty. In the evening, my concubine prepares a dinner in the East Palace. Together with my mother and queen, the whole family is considered a family feast. I hope the king will appreciate it."

Feng Jinghuai squeezed the hands in his sleeves tightly and did not speak.

He forced himself to go to the East Palace in the name of the Empress Dowager, what kind of family banquet was he talking about?

After Yan Lian finished speaking, she left Qianyang Palace with a smile on her hand, holding the lotus seed soup she made herself. Feng Jinghuai took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart, and called Chu Yang in.

"Kings."

"Go and call all the ministers and Chen Fu, and say that the king has something important to discuss."

There are plenty of reasons for not wanting to go to the dinner party, Feng Jinghuai felt that not having a falling out with Yan Lian in the open was enough to give her face.

When the various ministers entered the palace, Feng Jinghuai listed a lot of issues that needed to be negotiated, and the negotiations were not completed until after dinner. The East Palace and the Queen Mother sent people, but Chu Yang blocked the door, saying that the king is talking to everyone. The ministers discuss matters, and then go to the East Palace.

Recently, there have been a lot of things going on in the DPRK and China, and Feng Jinghuai deliberately delayed the time. When the discussions were over, it was already past Haishi, so why would he have dinner.

Feng Jinghuai stood up and stretched his muscles and bones. He was in a good mood and asked Chu Yang to go to the East Palace. As expected, the Queen Mother had already left. Only Yan Lian was cutting a pot of flowering jasmine under the eaves.

Seeing Feng Jinghuai coming in, Yan Lian still saluted with a smile, but his displeasure could be clearly heard in his tone.

"Can the queen have dinner?" Feng Jinghuai asked: "The king has asked the people who went to Qianyang Palace to report back, and he has something important to discuss with the ministers today, so that the queen and mother don't have to wait."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I've already used it." Yan Lian waved his hand to the maid to move Jasmine away: "This concubine, I'll go and prepare a few light dishes, and I'll use some of it with my Majesty."

"Since the queen has already used it, there is no need for it. This king is just here to come and take care of government affairs." Feng Jinghuai turned around and left after speaking, it was too late for Yan Lian to say anything.

On the way back, Feng Jinghuai deliberately made a detour to Yuxiu Palace, but didn't go in to see Baixu.

"If your majesty is worried, can I go in and have a look?" Chu Yang sighed as he looked at the gate that was close at hand.

"Go back." Feng Jinghuai shook his head and said: "At this time, caring about him is harming him. Yan Lian has deep scheming, don't let her find another reason to target Bai Xu."

"Yes."

"Baixu was drugged, and Gao Song and Chen Fu suddenly colluded to persecute this king. How did the investigation go?"

"The young master was drugged. The maid from the Ehuang Palace hanged herself. The others went through several rounds of interrogation, but they didn't ask anything. About Mr. Gao, we only found out that the night before, he sent someone to pretend to go out of the city to meet General Chen. , gave General Chen a letter, and only Chen Fu and Gao Song knew what was written in the letter."

"Didn't find anyone else?"

"Not yet."

"Where is Yanfu?"

"Checked and found nothing unusual."

After the Yan family's mother and daughter came back, the imperial court redistributed the mansion. There were few people in the Yan mansion, and there were no guards in many places. It was really difficult to check, even whether Yan Lian and Gao Song had met before.

"Continue to investigate." Feng Jinghuai glanced at the door again, then turned and walked towards Qianyang Palace.

There was no government affairs to deal with, so I should have returned to Zhengyang Palace, but Feng Jinghuai didn't want to go back, thinking of the scene after sealing yesterday, I felt chills all over my body.

Bai Xu lay down for a while and then got up and sat by the window. When it was getting dark, she was coaxed by the maid to eat half a bowl of porridge, and then she remained motionless, staring at the door, hoping that in the blink of an eye, Feng Jinghuai would appear at the door , as usual, smiling and calling Xuer.

Zhuyu said that she is heartless, which is really good. In the past so many years, Baixu really never thought that one day, she would become like this.

If I had grown my heart and lungs earlier and understood these things, wouldn't I be as sad as I am now?

Sadness, disappointment, anger, for a while, Bai Xu couldn't figure out which feeling was more tormenting.
