My heart hurts when I mention the abolition

After the emperor left, Shuangshu, Shuanglu, Madam Zheng, and Eunuch Pei immediately walked in and surrounded her anxiously.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? The Emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Chen Yizhen shook her head slowly, she still hadn't recovered, just now the emperor came over suddenly, asked some unbelievable words suddenly, and then left without saying anything.

She didn't think about it, but when she came back to her senses, she saw a large circle of people looking at her anxiously, she smiled and comforted her: "It's nothing, the emperor must have come to see me... Lost and sad?"

Probably so...

The emperor came out of Zhongcui Palace, passed by Changchun Palace, saw the closed gate of Changchun Palace, and suddenly paused. At this moment, he could not help recalling the dilapidated and remoteness of Zhongcui Palace... so what, it was her fault !

With a cold face, he kept rushing back.

In the experiment just now, he has almost confirmed that his soul-leaving disease is indeed related to the abolished empress, but he doesn't know how it is related, and whether the empress knows about it, he went to test it today, but he didn't get anything from the empress's face and mouth If it is useful, we can only put this matter aside for the time being, and wait for further exploration and inspection in the future.

Thinking of this, his face became colder and slower.

Rong Sheng, who followed closely behind the emperor, was walking in small steps, while wondering in his heart, what happened to the emperor these two days?

Suddenly he got a headache, and just now he had another headache. The most surprising thing is that the first thing the emperor did after waking up was to visit the empress.

Could it be that the emperor has no more love for the empress?

Rong Sheng shook his head in his heart, he has been serving the emperor personally, he has seen with his own eyes in the past three years, the relationship between the emperor and the empress is not close, it can even be said to be very strange, not even a word of respect, plus the empress's background The Chen family, it's no wonder that the emperor likes the empress!

Could it be a sudden interest?

He couldn't figure it out.

Forget it, don’t think about it if you can’t figure it out. Finding out the cause of the emperor’s headache is the most important thing now. The empress dowager has already accumulated thirty boards for him. It's not just something that thirty boards can solve.

Back in the palace, sitting alone for a while, the emperor suddenly called Shenwuwei over.

The Shenwuwei is exclusive to the emperor, and the direct access to Shengting means that it only listens to the secret guards sent by the emperor. The emperors of all dynasties usually send them to do things that are not suitable for the public to do.

After receiving the emperor's order, Shenwuwei quickly left the palace, and returned after more than five hours.

"My Majesty, Master Du Yi is not in Huangjue Temple. I heard from the host that Master Du Yi packed up and saluted overnight after returning from the palace yesterday and left Huangjue Temple. He claimed that he would go on a long trip to spread Buddhism and save all beings."

"After investigation, I found out that Master Du Yi left the capital in a carriage early this morning and went southeast, but the guards under his command followed the southeast direction for a while, but found no trace of Master Du Yi. After investigation The carriage that Master Du Yi was riding in was found in Keyang Town, a hundred miles to the southeast, but after investigation, only the carriage and horses were found, but Master Du Yi was not found."

After the words fell, he knelt on the spot, motionless, and held his breath to listen to the emperor's further instructions.

The room was silent, the night was spreading, and the burning candles were crackling. In this silence, which was so stagnant that one could hear a hair falling down, the emperor suddenly turned his head and retracted his gaze towards the boundless.

Facing the kneeling person below, he said in a deep voice, "Continuing to track down Master Du Yi is the most important thing right now."

"Yes!" Shenwuwei said forcefully without hesitation.

"Go down."

"Rongsheng."

Rong Sheng walked in quickly, bowed respectfully and saluted, "Your Majesty."

"Take out the unfinished imperial edict before I fell asleep."

Rong Sheng responded, turned around and took out the previous imperial edict from the shelf dedicated to tidying up imperial edicts, and walked slowly over with the imperial edict in his hand, when he suddenly thought that the emperor always seemed to suffer from headaches on the way of imitating imperial edicts.

He looked over worriedly, so he must have been too tired.

Thinking about something in his heart, he was about to spread the imperial decree on the table in front of the emperor when a hand suddenly stretched out and stopped him.

Dazed for a moment, Rong Sheng raised his head in doubt, "Your Majesty?"

"No need to open it." He stared quietly at the imperial edict for a long time, then retracted his hand little by little, and said in a soft voice, "Burn it."

ah?Rong Sheng's eyes widened.

The emperor withdrew his hand, stood up, stopped looking at it, and repeated it indifferently, "It's burned."

"Okay, slave, slave, let's burn it now, burn it."

Dazed, Rong Sheng took the imperial decree and walked to the outer hall, and threw it into the basin, until the scorching hot breath mixed with a unique smell rushed towards him, he opened his mouth wide in shock, and looked blankly at the red flames in the basin.

According to the meaning of the emperor, the queen still has hope of recovery?

It took Shuanglu and the others a long time to tidy up Zhongcui Palace and put everything in its proper place. Finally, they made a bed for Chen Yizhen and hung up the sachet. Shuangshu turned around with a smile on her lips, " Ma'am, it's ready."

Chen Yizhen walked over and saw the inner room that was no different from the original Changchun Palace, nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."

He also ordered, "Ask Mr. Pei to order the two little eunuchs to bring a sumptuous meal from the dining room to reward the big guys, and then ask Madam Zheng to distribute the moon silver. Bring some silver."

"Hey, this servant understands." Shuangshu smiled with eyes crooked.

Smiling and watching Shuangshu leave with light steps, Chen Yizhen shook her head, turned around and sat on the bed, looked up and saw the reclining chair not far away, she slowly put away her smile.

What does the emperor mean today?

No matter what the emperor meant, Chen Yizhen's life should be lived or lived. After moving to Zhongcui Palace, she was no different from her previous life in Changchun Palace, even more comfortable than in Changchun Palace.

The Changchun Palace is located almost in the center, very close to the sleeping quarters of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and others. She might run into them after taking a walk, but now, the Zhongcui Palace is estimated to be less than half a palace away from them. She doesn't have to worry about bumping into them when she goes out for a walk.

Moreover, there is a small garden not far from Zhongcui Palace, and there is a small pond in the small garden, which is most suitable for fishing in the evening of this season.

In addition, she asked Nanny Zheng and Eunuch Pei to find out about the current situation of the Chen family outside the palace. Now that she is out of danger, the only thing she is still worried about is the Chen family outside the palace.

One is to restore the karma of the owner, and two, the Chen family has always been good to her. They have been helping her all these years inside and outside the palace. Before when the family was still in power, they sent a large sum of money to the palace every month. It can be said that, After she lost her power, she was able to support her so well, thanks to the money her family had given her before.

I heard that the family donated more than half of their property in order to redeem uncle and father. Now the family should be in a difficult situation. She still has a lot of money on her side, and half of the family's remaining money is enough for her.

After two days, Eunuch Pei finally got news about the Chen Mansion outside the palace.

"I heard that the town government's mansion has been taken back."

Eunuch Pei carefully glanced at Chen Yizhen who was sitting on the round pole, and looked at the other's calm face, his voice became weaker.

"The old lady took the Duke and the adults and they bought another three-in-one courtyard in Xitonghua Lane, Beijing. Your Excellency is fine, but I heard that the Duke has suffered some grievances in prison and is now recuperating in bed. But the doctor Say it’s nothing serious, just keep it for a while longer.”

After finishing speaking, he bowed and stood still, waiting for further instructions from the empress, or he was sad and angry.

Chen Yizhen was very calm, and even breathed a sigh of relief. She had long expected that the house at home would not be able to keep. It was originally a house awarded to Duke Zhen by the court. Now that the court has taken back the title, the mansion of Duke Zhen will naturally It is impossible to keep it.

As for buying a house in the west of the capital instead of the east of the capital, she has no objection.

No one in the family has an official position, so staying in the east is just asking for humiliation, and the west of the capital is also good, there are many rich and noble families there, and the environment will not be so bad.

She breathed a sigh of relief, remained silent for a while, and suddenly said: "In the future, pay attention to your words, and don't call the Duke of the country anymore. Uncle is no longer the Duke of the country."

Her voice was calm, and there was no trace of anger or grief. Pei Gonggong was a little surprised, but also a little relieved, and said yes with his head bowed.

"Also," he pulled out a box and handed it to him, "This is 5000 taels of silver, can you find a way to transfer it to your family?"

Eunuch Pei took it over and said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant still has some skills, and I promise to hand over the 5000 taels of silver to the country, Master Chen and the others."

Chen Yizhen smiled, "Please, go."

Mr. Pei saluted, bowed and retreated.

One day, a boy in a brown short coat knocked on the door of Chen's house in Tonghua Lane. He left a box without saying anything and left.

Chen Weixue, the eldest son of the Chen family who received the box, closed the door suspiciously, opened the box, and saw a stack of banknotes and a letter at the bottom. After a moment of silence, he took out the bottom letter and unfolded——

The content of the letter is very simple. Chen Yizhen only briefly explained her life, telling her family that everything is fine, so that the family does not need to worry about her, and also said that the 5000 taels of silver is for the family to survive the difficulties. In the future, I will find a way to send more, and she will be worried about losing it on the way.

The former Lord of the Town, Chen Bingguang, a white man, came out with a cane. The sun was shining today, and he wanted to go out more to enjoy the sun according to the doctor's instructions, but when he looked up, he saw his eldest son standing at the door, holding his hand in his hand. Holding a piece of letter paper, he seemed to be in a daze.

"Student brother?"

Chen Weixue raised his head, revealing red eyes with wet corners.

Chen Bingguang was stunned, "Brother Xue...what's wrong?"

He walked over anxiously, fearing that the family would encounter any major event that would overthrow the family.

Chen Weixue clamped the box to the elbow with one hand, held the letter with preciousness in the other hand, wiped off the embarrassment on his face, then, he handed the letter to his father, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, there is a letter from your mother." gone."

Chen Bingguang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he stretched out his hand. The palm of his hand, which had never trembled no matter how much torture he had suffered in prison, trembled slightly at this moment. Calm has been restored.

He took the letter and read it one by one.

After reading it, his expression instantly aged by five years. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "It's my family that has dragged my mother down."
