Jingren Palace.
Creak!
The tightly shut palace door opened.
Empress Dowager Li, Emperor Zhu Yijun, and Empress Wang stood at the door, accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs, and looked inside.
Coldness was their first impression.
The damp and cold inside the room was even more uncomfortable than outside.
As the door opened, Consort Wang, whose face was filled with vicissitudes of life and whose hair had silver strands, sat on the soft couch wrapped in a blanket.
There was no light in the room.
As the light shone in, Madam Wang narrowed her eyes and waved her hand in front of her."Is it Luo 'er? Luo 'er, didn't Mother tell you not to come again? Mother is fine, Mother is fine.”
As Madam Wang spoke, she lowered her head and touched the fur coat and cloak that her son had left on her lap.
Sigh!
Empress Dowager Li sighed softly and turned her head to glare at her son.
It wasn't that he didn't know that his son had neglected the Wang family, but he also knew that his son didn't like the Wang family.
As a mother, she naturally doted on her son.
There were some things that her son didn't like, and she would turn a blind eye to it.
However, Empress Dowager Li did not expect that Madam Zheng would dare to abuse Madam Wang like this.
The Wang family had left her palace!
This Wang family was too honest. Even if they could not give face to their eldest grandson, based on their previous master-servant relationship, they only asked for her name. How could she not do anything?
Empress Dowager Li turned her head and glared at her son again.
Zhu Yijun looked at the woman inside and couldn't help but think of his son's questioning. Why…Why…
This woman had given birth to a son and a daughter for him. He had not seen her for many years. He thought that she was like the other women who had been neglected by him, although she did not receive his care.
But at the very least, he was living like a prince.
Unexpectedly…
Empress Dowager Li did not go in. This honest woman who had walked out of her palace had never complained to her.
Perhaps he didn't want her, his former master, to see him in such dire straits.
She didn't destroy the pride that the Wang Consortium was trying their best to protect.
She turned around and left. After walking to the entrance of Jingren Palace, Empress Dowager Li coldly ordered Wang An,"Wang An, flog all the maids and eunuchs of Jingren Palace thirty times and throw them into the laundry.”
"This widow will send a few people over. Empress, you will personally take charge and select palace maids and eunuchs with clean backgrounds to serve you. As soon as they are used…"
At this point, the Empress Dowager looked at her son, Zhu Yijun.
"According to Imperial Noble Consort's specifications.”Zhu Yijun knew that his mother was asking him to make a stand. He was really flustered now, and the image of Wang Consortium just now kept appearing in his mind.
He felt uncomfortable.
His son's questions kept ringing in his mind.
"ChenQie understands. Mother, don't worry. ChenQie will not mistreat Younger Sister.”Empress Wang replied gently.
Empress Dowager Li looked at her daughter-in-law helplessly." You are too docile. From now on, you will rule the harem. If anyone dares to embarrass you, come and find this widow!" Aijia wants to see who dares to go against aijia in this harem!”
Zhu Yijun's lips twitched awkwardly.
This was clearly a warning to him.
"Emperor, if anything happens to this widow's eldest grandson, after this widow dies, don't come to send this widow off!”Empress Dowager Li left a warning and left helplessly.
After all, he was the emperor's son.
……
After the New Year.
The Lantern Festival was approaching.
After half a month, the capital became particularly lively again.
"I heard that the eldest prince hasn't been found.”
"Hai, the Eldest Prince actually wants to kill the Imperial Noble Consort. I'm afraid he won't have the fate of becoming the Crown Prince.”
“……”
The news of the Eldest Prince Zhu Yijun attempting to kill Noble Consort Zheng in Yanxi Palace and escaping by accident somehow spread like wildfire in the capital.
In the private room of the tavern.
Wei Zhongxian sat by the window and listened to the discussions of the customers in the hall. He couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.
" Zhu Changluo, oh Zhu Changluo," he muttered to himself," you've really calculated all the traps. You've even managed to break through such a huge incident at Yanxi Palace. You should be almost at Ji Gate now, right?"”
"The news in the city should be released by Noble Consort Zheng if I'm not mistaken. The purpose is to destroy the eldest prince Zhu Changluo's reputation.”
"However, the changes in those sour scholars in the court are very interesting.”
"Eldest Prince, have you ever thought that the court officials 'support for you has changed?”
Wei Zhongxian thought of the changes in the courtiers and couldn't help but smile.
After the Yanxi Palace incident, those sour writers quickly split into two factions.
Shen Yiguan and his men had obviously given up on supporting Zhu Changluo.
"Do you want me to help you change the direction of the discussions in the capital?”Wei Zhongxian muttered to himself as he pondered.
Although he was only the Jiazi Warehouse's warehouse officer, he was still a member of the Jiazi Warehouse.
His position was not high, but he had a way to spread some insider information to let the people know the truth and sympathize with Zhu Changluo.
A moment later, Wei Zhongxian shook his head and smiled.""No, no, no. If I want to be a rare commodity, I can't rush it. This way, you, Zhu Changluo, won't be able to see the value and importance of me, Wei Zhongxian!”
Soon, Wei Zhongxian decided to watch from the sidelines.
At the same time.
Just as Wei Zhongxian had guessed, Zhu Changluo, who had been on the road during the New Year, had already arrived at Ji Gate.
He was at the Great Wall of Ji Gate and Yellow Cliff Pass.
This was the Qi Family Army's encampment.
Ever since Qi Jiguang led the Southern Army north, this place had become the Qi Family Army's base camp.
"I am Zhu Ke, a hundred household of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Greetings, General Qi!”
In the commander's tent at the city pass, Zhu Changluo stood in front of the commander's desk as Zhu Ke and cupped his fists.
The general sitting behind the commander's table raised his head and glanced at Zhu Ke. He said in an indifferent tone,"I already know your appointment. I'm not General Qi Jin. I'm Lou Dayou, the deputy general of the Qi Family Army.”
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards have already informed us of your intentions.”
"You should know what happened to the Qi Family Army not long ago. To be honest, I don't like the Jinyiwei!”
Zhu Ke did not expect it to be Qi Jin, the nephew of Qi Jiguang.
He knew Lou Dayou as well. He was also a famous general in the Qi Family's Army.
Zhu Ke didn't feel anything about Lou Dayou's resistance and disgust.
The Qi Family's Army had just lost more than three thousand men in the mutiny, and the entire army was in an extremely unstable state, filled with resentment towards the Imperial Court.
"I understand!"
"Although this general was born in the Embroidered Uniform Guards, not all Embroidered Uniform Guards are people who live in vain. This general will serve the Qi Family's Army and be loyal to the country. This general requests to be sent to the most dangerous pass in front to guard the border.”
"General, please grant my wish!"
He was only a hundred-household now, and he could only be promoted through merit. Only in the most dangerous places would he have the chance to make contributions.
He had to quickly grasp military power.
He wanted to return to the capital with a knife!
