Chapter 2 To be published (2)
Last night, Mu Lianzhu was so sad that she was so angry that she was so angry that she suddenly became anxious. Miyazekai was served in Shoukang Palace for a night. Only then did she come out and prepare to return to her residence in the palace. It was time to take a break and think about how to deal with the current situation in the palace. The wind in the early morning of autumn was a little cold. The close servant Ajie hurried forward to tighten the cloak for Prince Yu. Looking at the solemn expression that had not been seen on the prince's face for many years, although he didn't know anything, he felt depressed. The master and servant headed towards Danhuai Pavilion facing the cool breeze in the palace.
Since Wen Xiuqi was summoned to the palace in the middle of the night, this night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Wenfu. Wen Shijie, his wife Yin Tongyue, Wen Xiurong and his wife Qian Xiujin sat together in the main hall waiting until Lao Mo returned with Wen Xiuqi who had already dripped with dew on his body. Wen Xiuqi who came to the main hall sat down without saying a word. Wen Shijie asked, "Your Majesty wants you to go?" Wen Xiuqi nodded. Wen Shijie did not speak anymore and slowly closed his eyes. Wen Xiurong paced back and forth a few steps, stopped and said, "Father, I thought about it and it is indeed the most suitable thing to go to Xiuqi."
"The emperor sent me five thousand elite cavalry and 30,000 elite soldiers, and I accompanied me and set off at dawn. The eldest prince should not be able to do it." Wen Xiuqi repeated without any emotion. The matter of releasing the Buddha had nothing to do with him. Wen Xiurong thought about it and said, "Father, before the order is issued yet, why don't I go to the palace to ask the emperor to replace Xiuqi."
Wen Shijie slowly opened his eyes, revealing a decisive light: "Xiu Qi can only win but not lose. The emperor gave him everything he could. If Xiu Rong enters the palace this time, he will place the Wen family in a place of unfaithfulness and unrighteousness. If the king wants his ministers to die, he will have to die, let alone make a chance to make meritorious contributions?" He paused and continued, "Your Majesty~ This is to put the Wen family on the fire. You have just made great contributions to disaster relief and returned to Beijing. Now the empress is pregnant again. It is already the target of public criticism. If Xiu Qi makes military achievements, our Wen family will be very successful."
After saying these words, Wen Shijie seemed to use all his strength to shake his head and turn around and pull Yin Tongyue into the bedroom. How could Xiurong and Xiuqi not understand this truth? The emperor also knew that it was impossible for them to avoid it. Wen Xiuqi said to Wen Xiurong as if he had made up his mind: "Brother, your father, mother and elder sister will be left to you and sister-in-law to take care of you. I will protect myself for my brother and return from a complete victory. I can only make up my mind to discuss the future."
Wen Xiurong wanted to say something, but he didn't speak. Qian Xiujin said softly to Wen Xiuqi: "Don't worry, uncle, you have me and your brother at home, you will take care of yourself. There is no sight on the battlefield. Please take good care of yourself. We all look forward to my uncle's return safely." Wen Xiurong nodded, and Wen Xiurong said for a long time: "Xuqi, I will arrange ten dead soldiers to follow you at each hall. You will not notice their existence on weekdays. It will not be until the critical moment of life and death that they will come out to fight to ensure your safety. It is getting late, so you can prepare and rest."
As soon as the sky was brightened, Eunuch An took the imperial edict to Wen Mansion. Wen Shijie and his family were waiting at the door. Eunuch An announced the edict and greeted Wen Shijie: "Mr. Wen, the Empress is pregnant for the first time, and she always has no idea. The Empress Dowager's meaning is to make arrangements to see if she can let Lord Rong's wife come to the palace to chat with the Empress, so that it can be solved."
Wen Shijie bowed and said, "It's natural, I didn't think so thoroughly. The empress dowager was willing to let her daughter-in-law come to the palace to pay her respects to the empress." Seeing that the errands were almost done, Xiao Anzi was about to return to the palace. Yin Tongyue suppressed her emotions and instructed the servants following Wen Xiuqi to say that everything was fine. Wen Shijie pulled Wen Xiurong aside and asked, "Are everything arranged?"
"Yes, father, my son has made arrangements for leaving the city overnight last night. I will let Xiujin enter the palace tomorrow. The Queen must have received news from the Queen, but now she is pregnant, so many things can only be put to the overall situation first."
Wen Shijie nodded and said, "The child that the Empress is pregnant is particularly important to the Wen family, and there must be no mistakes. A while ago, the Empress was poisoned and must not repeat the same mistakes." When talking about Wen Yanwan's poisoning, Wen Shijie's tone inevitably aggravated. Wen Xiurong was also investigating this matter. Although Wen Yanwan's poisoning was cured and there were many strange things about the poisoning this time. Thinking of this, Wen Xiurong was silent and replied, "Father, the Queen's poisoning this time is quite strange. Unlike the Mu family's work, it needs to be carefully investigated."
