Join hands and go into seclusion

W@Iw: Yan Qing's health has not been very good in the past few years, and the wind and cold have not healed all year round. After returning from Xiuling, there have been some relapses.

When she first came back from Xiuling, Jiang Weiren mentioned to her that he had found two famous doctors among the people, hoping to let them enter the palace to diagnose her illness, but at that time she just avoided him, Of course I refused without thinking.

Now that Jiang Weiren was bringing up the old story again and insisted on letting the two doctors enter the palace to have a look at her, Yan Qing still felt that it was not necessary. She was just a minor symptom. She had been taking the medicine prescribed by the hospital because of her own fundamentals. Poor, that’s why it gets better slowly.

But he couldn't bear it, and Yan Qing finally agreed after much hard work.

That day, Jiang Weiren personally went to Hanliang Hall with two doctors. They took turns diagnosing her pulse and asked many questions carefully. The imperial doctors had asked these questions countless times, and Jiang Weiren also ordered people to retrieve all the pulse diagnosis files from the imperial hospital. Yan Qing turned around and saw that he was extremely nervous.

Sure enough, in the end both of them said there was no big problem, and the prescriptions they prescribed were all for strengthening the body.

She knew her body well. Ever since Yan Lan's accident, her close relatives had passed away one after another. She had been deeply grieved and depressed. Over the years, her vitality had been reduced and her body had been injured.

After the two doctors went down, she said to him: "Look, I said nothing happened. You have to believe me. I went through all the trouble."

He smiled and said in a low voice: "Well, I'm just too nervous. "

After so long selection, Cao Dingzhen finally chose a girl from her mother's family.

The little girl whose maiden name is Yujun comes from a side line of the Cao family. She is of the same generation as Zhao Yuan. Yan Qing has also seen her. She looks quite upright, has a docile temperament, and is very well-behaved.

For this reason, Cao Dingzhen specially summoned this niece from the collateral line into the palace and lived in Funing Palace. By staying with her every day, he could often see Zhao Yuan.

But Zhao Yuan didn't like it very much. He didn't dare to show it in front of Cao Dingzhen, and he only dared to complain secretly to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing asked him what he didn't like about her, and he told her a lot, but in Yan Qing's opinion, none of them were legitimate reasons.

At the age of 12 or 13, it is a time for rebellion, so what is forced on him is naturally not good for him and he is unwilling to do so.

"How can you beat someone to death with just one stroke? You have to wait for a long time to know what kind of person he is," she advised. "When you meet her, just treat her as normal. You Just think of her as the head of Qinghe County."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan replied solemnly: "My sister is different from her. She is not even half as good as my sister."

As he grew older, Zhao Yuan became more and more interested. His temperament has also become more and more distinct. Although he had strict teachings from the two empress dowagers and the imperial master Jiang Weiren, he was still the most respected person in the world, and his stubbornness that did not like to be disobeyed became more and more obvious.

The last time he wanted to ride a horse in the Forbidden Garden, a young eunuch in front of the palace only tried to persuade him a few words, and then he ordered a stick to punish him. However, Zhang Fang persuaded him to stop him, and Yan Qing learned about it and gave him a few words.

However, these are just trivial matters. Yan Qing always feels that children from ordinary people's families don't know how to make trouble at this age. He said that when Yan Lan was twelve or thirteen years old, he was getting into trouble every day and often made Yan Ge He was so angry that he was half dead. After all, Zhao Yuan was already very sensible.

"Mother, when will Sir bring my sister back?" Speaking of Xue Shiying, Zhao Yuan asked her again.

She asked Jiang Weiren about Xue Shiying, but he refused to elaborate. But Yan Qing thought of the way Xue Shiying screamed at her that night. As a woman, how could she not see through the fanaticism and stubbornness underneath? Despair, and the feelings behind that despair.

"I'm afraid Mr. Jiang won't be able to answer this question. It depends on when she will figure it out."

When Jiang Weiren was mentioned, Yan Qing suddenly remembered that during this period, he was also thinking about Zhao Yuan's future wedding. When discussing matters in Wende Palace, there were very few private meetings.

He seems to be particularly busy these days, but the drought has passed, the DPRK and China have stabilized, and there are no major events.

Even when he saw her, he seemed a little distracted.

Soon, due to the request of the Ministry of War, Wu Zhongbo Cao Yu resumed his original position. The cabinet's intention is Jiang Weiren's intention. He was the one who begged for Cao Yu at first, and now it is him who is trying his best to restore Cao Yuneng to his post.

When Cao Yu committed such a big crime, even Zhao Yuan and Cao Dingzhen had to avoid suspicion. But now that the cabinet has already made such a request, the Chief of Ceremonies can go ahead and approve it, which naturally complies with Cao Dingzhen's wishes.

Of course, Yan Qing would not think that Jiang Weiren was bent on currying favor with the Queen Mother Ciyi, as was the rumor outside. But what Cao Yu was greedy for was military pay. Others, Yan Qing, may not know this, but for people like Jiang Weiren who once personally led troops, this was the most abhorrent.

She always felt that there was something not simple behind Cao Yu's reinstatement.

Cao Yu was not only reinstated as an official, he was soon promoted to the commanding officer of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. He was not only a second-rank court official, but also in charge of the entire garrison in the capital.

When she saw him, he avoided mentioning the Cao family's affairs. Yan Qing stared at him with stern eyes, "What are you hiding from me?"

He took a step forward and wanted to hug her, "Qing Qing , you have to believe me."

"Then Cao Yu is a man who can disregard the life and death of the soldiers in front of him in order to enrich himself. Everyone knows his evil intentions. Tell me, what is your reason for doing this?" I opened him and asked.

"Because he is your Majesty's biological uncle," he replied calmly, "and his sister is your Majesty's biological mother."

"So? You are afraid of being enemies with the Cao family, afraid of offending Cao Dingzhen, and afraid of waiting for A Yuan to take over the government in the future. Will your mother no longer trust you?"

He ignored her anger at the moment and only replied calmly: "As you said, everything can change, blood will not change, no matter how far I go, I am just a minister. No matter how sincere you are, you are just an outsider."

Yan Qing said nothing because his words were indeed irrefutable.

Regardless of her struggle, Jiang Weiren still hugged her into his arms.

"Qingqing, do you still remember our agreement? When His Majesty takes charge, we will go into seclusion together and not be concerned about worldly affairs anymore," he whispered in her ear, "But before that day, we all have to learn to be patient and wait. "

The so-called patience and waiting are just showing favor to the Cao family?"

Jiang Weiren said nothing and only hugged the person in his arms tighter, as if she would disappear in the next moment.

Yan Qing's heart softened and she said softly: "Tingchen, let's not wait any longer. How about leaving now...?"

His body stiffened and his voice was hoarse: "It's not possible yet..."

She was stunned. Finally, she pushed him away hard, turned her head and said, "You still can't let go of these false claims, otherwise why would you care about the Cao family?" When

he continued to explain, she turned and left.

As soon as Jiang Weiren returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, the eunuchs who came to announce the summons rushed over.

In fact, he guessed that Cao Dingzhen would meet him.

"It seems that Aijia guessed it right," Cao Dingzhen said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang is indeed a very affectionate person."

His expression was calm as usual, without any trace of disturbance, "I have already done what I promised to the Queen Mother, Queen Mother I promise, I hope I won't break my promise."

Cao Dingzhen looked at him and shook his head, "Sir, do you think... it's that simple?"

Jiang Weiren was not surprised at all, "The Queen Mother has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Sir, you are indeed a gentleman... The Ai family remembers that just after the late emperor left, Liang Chenghuan, the Minister of Rites, asked to give Queen Mother Shengyi another emblem to show his respect for me . There is a difference between being humble," she said coldly, "Yes, she is the late emperor's wife. Even if the Ai family is the biological mother of the prince, her status is not as noble as hers.

"At that time, Mr. Liang rejected Mr. Liang's request. At that time, Mr. Liang was really humble. The Ai family thought that this move by my husband was a sign of goodwill to me.

"It was indeed inappropriate to have different emblems at the beginning. I just wanted to bring peace between the two palaces and avoid His Majesty being in trouble in the future. " Jiang Weiren replied.

"Are you afraid that adding that emblem will make the Ai family hate her even more?" "

She turned around and sat on the armchair behind her, "Some time ago, the Ai family investigated what happened back then. At that time, everyone said that Jiang Weiren was a villain. He turned away from his mentor and turned around and joined the disciples of Cai Shoufu. Mr. The reputation has not been washed away to this day. Is the truth really what the rumors say? "

Cao Dingzhen seemed to be asking him, but without waiting for his answer, he continued: "But in the end, after the late emperor ascended the throne, it was the Cai family who asked Mr. to investigate. At that time, Mr. Jiang was not soft at all... Mr. Jiang was very resourceful and unpredictable, but it was a pity that the Ai family was as confused as Cai Yong.

After listening to her words, Jiang Weiren lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, "If the Queen Mother has any grudge against me, I am willing to let the Queen Mother do whatever she wants. " Cao

Dingzhen frowned slightly, "Sir, why do you need to do this? You are the humerus of the country. How can the Ai family dare to insult you? Speaking of the Beiqi invasion, you turned the tide and protected the country. Your Majesty and I should be grateful to you." "

"Famous for me, it's just a passing cloud. What I want, I have confessed to the Queen Mother that day, and I hope the Queen Mother will grant it." "

Cao Dingzhen was startled. He had said that day that Yan Qing was the biggest obstacle to her. She did not dare to blatantly attack Yan Qing. If it was true as he said, what he wanted was to live in seclusion with Yan Qing. This is of course killing two birds with one stone, and I am happy to see the result.

"Jiang Weiren, do you know that it was because of her that the late emperor ordered His Majesty to be taken away from me, and she took away the children of the Ai family. But now, His Majesty regards her as his biological mother. No mother in this world can bear such a result. To tell you the truth, the Ai family really hates her..."

As she said that, she changed the subject, "But the Ai family can trust you once. If you say you are willing to leave with her, the Ai family is willing to fulfill your wish. you. "

Jiang Weiren raised his head calmly, "But the Queen Mother said just now that it is not that simple. So what are the Queen Mother's conditions? Please make it clear. "

Cao Dingzhen laughed, "Ai Jia said that your husband has made great contributions to protecting the country. If he is dismissed for no reason, everyone in the world will scold Ai Jia and your majesty for treating the hero poorly. Since he said that he is willing to give up everything for her and return to the countryside, then How can your husband convince Aijia that what he said is true? "

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Weiren had already understood the meaning of her words.

"I will announce tomorrow that I will resign from the position of chief assistant and take up my official position. "

Not only that," Cao Dingzhen continued, "Sir, you must agree to leave the imperial capital immediately after taking office and never come back in this life." "

Jiang Weiren hesitated for a moment, and Cao Dingzhen laughed after looking at it, "It's okay if you don't want to, sir..."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Weiren interrupted directly: "I promise! "
