Chapter 658 The Cruel Truth
Xia Xiang looked at Chu Xia looking at two pieces of paper under the light. She had been looking at it for a long time and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chu Xia, are there flowers on it? What are you looking at?"
At this time, Chu Xia felt her eyes sore, and rubbed the corners of her eyes. She didn't understand how much she was doing when she traveled to this inexplicable dynasty?
Suddenly I smelled a faint fragrance, and then I realized that Xia Xiang didn't know what she was doing. The fragrance seemed to come from her hands.
"Xia Xiang, what are you doing?"
"I'm making incense." Xia Xiang answered while busy with her work, "The Empress likes the incense I make the most, so I personally make incense for the Empress all these years."
Chu Xia suddenly admired Xia Xiang very much. Unexpectedly, she still had this skill. If she were in modern times, she could be a perfumer.
"Xia Xiang, you are so amazing. You can even make incense. Is this easy to make? Teach me too?" Maybe this thing is very easy to sell in modern times. It should be purely natural and made with chemicals.
The perfumes are different. I heard that many people nowadays want to find secret recipes for making incense in ancient times? Of course, what they found is not pure at all. If she could bring this ancient recipe to the modern era, she would not have made a fortune.
After grabbing another handful of materials and putting them in to grind them, Xia Xiang focused on the process in her hand and spoke lightly: "Do you think it's so easy to make incense? I also learned it from my former aunt in the palace. I have been studying it for three years?
There are seventeen or eighteen kinds of incense materials, different materials, different incense, some are concentrated, refreshing, and fresh... Each procedure is very particular, and there cannot be any
If you are not careful, the material is placed incorrectly, or the amount is poor, it may affect the effect or turn it into poison."
Listening to Xia Xiang's words, Chu Xia secretly stuck out her tongue, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated. Suddenly, an inspiration flashed through her mind, and hurriedly rushed back to the table, picked up two prescriptions to compare, and suddenly figured out what? Grab the prescriptions
, a gust of wind ran outward.
"Why are you doing this late?" Xia Xiang didn't understand, and before she finished speaking, she saw Chu Xia's figure disappear.
Chu Xia ran to Fengyi Palace in a panic. The queen had just returned from the emperor. When she saw her nervous look, she asked curiously: "What's wrong with Chu Xia? Is something wrong with Junbao?"
For a moment, what she thought of was something happened to Junbao, otherwise how could Chu Xia be so nervous?
"It's not the prince, it's the emperor, please look at it." Chu Xia handed the two prescriptions to the queen, and hurriedly explained when she saw her confused look on her face.
"Empress, this medicine is not a problem with the diet, but licorice and carp are in conflict. If you only take it once or twice, there is no problem, but if you take these two often, it is a chronic poison." She remembers that the eunuch said that the emperor was very
I like to eat this dish, so I often cook it, which means I have been eating it for quite a while. And this dish was filial to the emperor by the Regent, so the problem here is self-evident.
The queen naturally thought of this, and her face turned pale, her body shook, and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Chu Xia supported her in time.
"Empress, calm down first. It's not the worst. Go and find the emperor quickly and let him take precautions early."
Xiao Yuchan nodded, calmed down for a moment, and hurriedly turned back to Longqian Palace.
Chu Xia hurried to find Jing Yuan, and he had to know about this as soon as possible.
Jing Yuan happened to be out of the palace. I heard that I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I guess I discovered something and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss it.
After finding a fast horse, Chu Xia ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister's Mansion
It was already dark, and the candlelight illuminated the entire hall, one old and one green, and one young man. But everyone had a solemn expression, and the old Prime Minister Xiao Qinglin even stroked his gray beard and his mind fell into deep thought.
Whether it is the prime minister of a country or the prince's grandfather, he dare not be careless about this matter.
"Dad, don't guess, it must be the Regent. He killed the prince, and the biggest beneficiary is him. I think the emperor's illness may not be related to him." Xiao Yulang spoke indignantly. He had already seen the Regent for a long time.
The king was disliked. He was selfless on the surface, but he felt that he was a sinister villain.
Xiao Qinglin spoke heavily, "Yulang, please write a letter to General Xue quickly and ask him to lead his troops back to the court to support the prince."
"Crown Prince, you go back and prepare well. The old minister will come to the palace tomorrow to advise the emperor and ask him to pass the throne to you as soon as possible, so that you can take the power openly." caset
Jing Yuan's little face, which is not consistent with his age, looked at the prime minister, "Grandpa, I'm still young, I'm afraid I'm difficult to take on important tasks, and my father is still young, so it's not appropriate to pass the throne to me.
I am giving people an excuse to say that I am very disrespectful to my father, and I am afraid that it will cause you to be implicated."
Although Jing Yuan was young, he was already very considerate. If he wanted to ascend the throne, the people of the world would definitely say that he was ruthless and could not wait to curse the emperor to die early. The prime minister and his men supported the prince to ascend the throne, so they naturally could not avoid it. They used the emperor to command the prince to command the prince.
Xiao Qinglin said, "I can't take care of so much now. If I really give him a chance, or if there is any accident in your father, it would be too late."
Xiao Yulang also stood up and said seriously: "Yes, Prince, now is not the time to think about those things. When you settle down, you will be fair afterwards. I will write a letter to General Xue and ask him to come back to support him.
You ascend the throne." Jing Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing. He really hoped that his father would get better soon. With his current age, it would be very hard to sit on the throne.
But what he didn't know was that there had been shocking changes in the palace at this time.
Jing Yuan was about to return to the palace when the servant suddenly came to report that Princess Huanyi was here.
Xiao Qinglin heard that his daughter had a princess Huanyi, but she hadn't had the chance to see her yet. She was a little curious, wondering why she would come here so late.
Xiao Yulang once saw her and was deeply impressed. Her pretty figure often appeared in his mind. Now when he heard her coming, his heartbeat for some reason was inexplicably faster.
Jing Yuan thought that Chu Xia must have come to find him so late. Could it be that something happened in the palace?
Chu Xia came in and didn't even have time to salute him. He knew that the people here were trusted by the prince, so he told him the matter directly.
After hearing this, the few people changed their faces. The Prime Minister asked the prince to return to the palace quickly and ordered Xiao Yulang to act quickly. Now he was urged to lose his composure, which was much more serious than they thought, and he could no longer to think about it.
As soon as I entered the palace, I happened to meet Yun Fei coming with a panic look on his face. Seeing his master, he hurriedly reported: "Your Highness is not good, the emperor has passed away. The queen asked you to come back and go to Fengyi Palace as soon as possible."
After hearing the bad news, Jing Yuan was struck by lightning, and his little body shook immediately, almost falling down. How could it be? When he left, wasn’t his father still fine? How could it be so sudden?
The news came too suddenly. Not to mention Jing Yuan, even Chu Xia was a little unbelievable.
Like a thunderous sound, the face turned pale. How could the young prince accept such a cruel truth?
After tightening the reins of the horse, Jing Yuan wanted to see his father himself. When he went out in the morning, he asked him for peace. How could he die suddenly? This is definitely not true, not true.
Yun Fei also looked anxious, and saw that His Highness was about to break into the emperor's bedroom and blocked his horse.
"Get out! I'm going to see my father, and those who think I'm dead!" Jing Yuan's eyes were red. At this moment, he had no power to think. Moreover, he was a ten-year-old child and could not be like an adult.
think.
Yun Fei knelt on the ground and said firmly: "Your Highness, please go to Fengyi Palace first, otherwise, you may not even see the queen."
This sentence really touched Jing Yuan's pain. If the father was really dead, she would never let her mother leave him.
Turning his horse's head and galloping towards Fengyi Palace.
Chu Xia was also confused by such a sudden change. How could things have developed to this point? But now she couldn't think too much, so she could only follow the prince to Fengyi Palace.
In Fengyi Palace, the originally luxurious and dignified queen had already lost her composure at this time. After she learned about the incident from Chu Xia, she hurried to see the emperor. Unfortunately, she was still one step late. The emperor had already died. She even had the emperor for the last time.
I didn't see it at all, and I felt so heartbroken that I could not add it. However, when I thought of Junbao and the emperor's expectations, I could only pretend that nothing happened. I did not immediately announce the news of the emperor's death, but hurried back to find Junbao.
The emperor has gone, and no matter how sad it is, it will be useless. However, their son cannot have any trouble. Jing Yuan returned to Fengyi Palace in a burgeon and rushed to his mother, asking anxiously: "My mother, this is not true
, it is impossible for the father to die, right?”
Seeing her son, tears burst out from Xiao Yuchan's eyes again and hugged her son. Why did her poor child accept such a fate so young?
"My mother, let's go see the father, let's go see the father..." Jing Yuan struggled in his mother's arms. He would not believe it without seeing it with his own eyes, and his father would not leave them.
Xiao Yuchan suddenly remembered something important and didn't dare to cry anymore. She sternly said to his handsome little face, "Junbao, you heard from the queen mother that your father is real.
He died, but he has not released any news to the public yet…”
"No! I don't believe it!" If there was any doubt just now, then the Queen Mother's words would undoubtedly have stabbed him hard in his heart, and tears suddenly collapsed. She pushed her mother away and turned to the bedroom.
"Stop!" Xiao Yuchan shouted angrily, and Jing Yuan's steps stopped. In his impression, his mother was always gentle and kind, and had never spoken so fiercely to him.
Xiao Yuchan walked to her son and said heartbrokenly: "Junbao, you really can't go to see your father. They have already prepared a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for you to fall into the net of themselves. Chu Cangmo, a beast, he wanted to plan.
