Wanli Fenghou Road in the past

"Your Highness...you are awake!" Min'er said.

It was already the afternoon of the second day when Zheng Che woke up. He had a headache, but he couldn't remember what happened yesterday, so he couldn't help frowning: "How did I come back?"

"My servant brought you back. You fell asleep in Mr. Tang's study and almost caught cold."

"Really?" Zheng Che'an shook his head: "Has Tang Yu been here today?"

Min'er shook her head: "Master Tang seems to be really sick this time. Liu Cui came to accuse her personally today, and she didn't even go to the morning court."

Zheng Che'an stretched, got up and got out of bed: "Where's Xu Yijun?"

Min'er saluted and said, "Guard Xu left early this morning."

"Then what about Han Yunqing?"

"Ah... Guard Xu and His Royal Highness rode away together..."

Well, I slept with myself all morning, and no one came to visit me at all?

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness is back," Xu Gonggong said.

"It's just in time to come back." Zheng Chean rolled up his sleeves: "I'm holding back my anger."

Before Zheng Che'an was ready for the battle, Han Yunqing rushed in without even saluting: "Che'an! Great event! Great joy! Hahahahahaha!"

"...What's wrong?" Zheng Che'an was taken aback.

Han Yunqing suddenly looked serious, and stretched out his hand to pat Zheng Che'an's shoulder heavily: "Che'an, this time Jun Yi has made a great contribution."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Che, the second monk Anzhang, was puzzled.

"Do you remember that little girl when you were a child?" Han Yunqing asked.

"Eh..." Zheng Che'an thought for a while: "Of course... no, how do you know?"

"It's not important!" Han Yunqing said, "Anyway, you have to know that Big Brother Xu searched all over the capital and finally found her. She is now working as a maid for his young lady in a wealthy businessman's house. Her name is Mi Qingwan."

"Ah?" Zheng Che'an froze in place. In fact, Zheng Che'an's memory of the past many years ago is a little blurred. He only remembers that the little girl's eyes are very beautiful, but maybe it has been too long before those things from the past will become extremely precious. : "How...how is she doing?"

"So-so!" Han Yunqing said: "The rich businessman is very kind, and his lady is also a reasonable person. Yijun is discussing with his family, and he should be back soon."

"His Royal Highness." Xu Yijun came in to salute, followed by a slim girl.

"I have seen His Royal Highness..." The girl was a little flustered, and she was even more at a loss after the ceremony.

Xu Yijun and Han Yunqing retreated wisely, leaving space for the two of them.

"You..." Zheng Chean stepped forward and asked, "What's your name?"

The woman shook her body and said softly: "My little girl, Mi Qingwan."

"Do you remember the details of that year?"

"Little girl... my memory is a bit fuzzy... I just remember that during the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, I met a rich man who got lost on the street, and my little girl took him back. When the young man left the next day... gave my little girl a jade pendant... ...Little girl... I really didn't know that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... really..."

"Is that jade pendant still there?" Zheng Che'an was a little excited.

"His Royal Highness...I'm sorry..." Mi Qingwan's beautiful eyes were tearful, and she slowly took out a small piece of broken jade from her bosom: "The little girl was really too young at that time...the maid in the house insisted on snatching it away, The little girl really couldn't argue... in the end the jade was broken, and the little girl... only found this small piece..."

Mi Qingwan cried pear blossoms with rain, eyes full of tears, very beautiful.

so similar!Zheng Che'an was a little shocked, the joy of reuniting after a long absence made him very excited: "Miss Mi is married?"

Mi Qingwan blushed and shook her head.

"Come to the East Palace!" Zheng Che said, "Promise me, you will always be by my side..."

"Your Highness... I have some things, I don't know if I should say it or not." Xu Yijun walked in front of Zheng Che'an for a long time before asking.

"what's up?"

Zheng Che'an had been a little unhappy with Emperor Liang over the matter of Mi Qingwan in the past few days. After all, Mi Qingwan was just an ordinary woman, how could she directly take the position of Crown Princess?Tang Shengxue was very supportive of this, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the reason.

"Actually, it's not a big deal..." Xu Yijun still hesitated: "But at this time, it's about Mr. Tang. I think it's better to tell His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Tang Yu? What's the matter?" Zheng Che'an asked.

"Master Tang... I went to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment a few days ago." Xu Yijun replied.

Zheng Che'an frowned. Ever since Tang Yu moved out of that horrible home, he never went back. How could he suddenly go back to such a ghostly place?

"What is he going to do?"

"I don't know very well..." Xu Yijun frowned slightly: "However, Mr. Tang seems to have been in for a long time, and he was in a low mood when he came out..."

"That's it." Zheng Che'an shook his head lightly, "Maybe it's because they got married recently, and they always have to go back to see their parents. It's not a big deal."

Xu Yijun didn't say anything more, but changed the topic: "Your Highness, you haven't entered the palace to greet the empress for a long time. Although you... um... don't like her very much, but after all, you are the aunt in name. Can not be less."

"That's true." Zheng Che'an narrowed his eyes, but thought of another thing: "Tang Wei has been married for almost four months, right?"

"Yes." Eunuch Xu replied quickly.

"Why don't you bring me here for dinner?"

"This..." Eunuch Xu was taken aback for a moment, "Perhaps Mr. Tang has been busy recently!"

"Go and invite me." Zheng Chean said, "Although we are married, but... we are still close friends, we should wait a little longer."

"Yes."

"The minister will take his leave first." Xu Yijun also saluted.

"Wait a minute..." Zheng Chean said, "Yijun enters the palace for me."

Xu Yijun was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

Zheng Che'an picked up a small box from the table, and handed it to him: "This is Qingwan's own rouge blend. Although it is not top-notch, it is also a good intention. You can go to the palace and give it to the queen."

"Yes." Xu Yijun replied.

"Your Highness... people may not be able to invite people..." Eunuch Xu wondered.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Zheng Chean put down the book in his hand and asked.

"This..." Eunuch Xu was even more embarrassed: "That...Master Tang's family is having a funeral..."

"Is Yuan Heng okay?" Zheng Che'an was taken aback: "What's going on?"

Eunuch Xu considered his words: "Ms. Tang has gone."

"What!" Zheng Che'an was startled, Miss Su's low-browed and pleasing smile seemed to be in front of her eyes, but it was only four months old, so...

"Let's drive!" Zheng Che'an panicked. He knew that Tang Yu was actually a very proud person. The sudden occurrence of this kind of thing must have dealt him a big blow.

Zheng Che'an, Tang Yu's house, has not been here a few times, and there is no difference from the outside, but white silk hangs high inside, and the whole house is full of filial piety.

Zheng Che'an let the people who followed him retreat, walked through the servants coming and going, and walked into the lobby alone.

Tang Yu knelt alone in front of the altar and burned the paper. He was the only one in white in the whole lobby, looking very bleak.

Zheng Chean took a few steps forward, knelt down side by side with Tang Wei, and burned some paper for Miss Su.

"Your Highness..." Tang Yu's eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little hoarse: "This is unlucky...you don't need to come in."

"Yuan Heng..." Zheng Che'an patted Tang Yu's shoulder, but he didn't know how to comfort him. After thinking for a long time, he said, "You still have me."

"Well," Tang Wei said softly, "Your Highness...you must cherish your marriage..."

"I know," Zheng Che'an smiled gently, "I found a little girl whom I have loved for many years, and I will cherish it, and you must live well."

Tang Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and then slowly returned to normal: "I will."

Zheng Che'an burned some more papers for Miss Su, and slowly stood up to say goodbye. Standing at the door and looking back, Tang Yu's slightly thin figure was a bit lonely, and Zheng Che'an felt inexplicably distressed.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Zheng Che'an had just walked out of the mansion when a girl dressed as a maid bumped into her arms.

The little girl raised her head slightly, and after seeing Zheng Che'an clearly, a panic flashed in her eyes, she turned around quickly, turned around and ran away.

Zheng Che'an was also taken aback, and blurted out: "Stop!"

The girl ran even faster, and rushed into the bustling crowd in a blink of an eye.

"Xu Yijun!" Zheng Che'an shouted.

"What orders does Your Highness have?" Xu Yijun didn't know what happened just now.

"Investigate!" Zheng Che'an said coldly, "Go and investigate...there is a problem with Tang Yu's marriage!"

The person who bumped into Zheng Che'an just now had the same face as Ms. Su's. Although Zheng Che'an had only met once, he remembered it clearly. Seeing the girl's panic, Zheng Che'an was even more sure of the conjecture in his heart. a cold.

Tang Yu...what the hell are you doing?

"Doctor Li, how is Your Majesty?" Tang Shengxue asked anxiously.

Doctor Li shook her head, and Tang Shengxue's heart turned cold: "Everyone back down!" She said to the palace people around her.

"What is the disease?" Tang Shengxue asked hurriedly.

Imperial Physician Li sighed: "The Empress is mourning, it's tuberculosis."

"What!" Tang Shengxue's legs softened, and he sat on the ground directly: "Impossible, impossible! Your Majesty was fine a few days ago..."

"Your Majesty," Imperial Physician Li hurriedly helped him up: "I guarantee with my life that there will be absolutely no mistakes. You have to calm down!"

"No, no! My Yu'er hasn't become the crown prince yet, Zheng Che'an and Tang Yu haven't died... I don't feel at ease! Ahhh! What do you all do in the hospital! It’s useless! It’s all trash! A bunch of trash!”

"Queen!" Physician Li shouted, Tang Shengxue seemed to be frightened, and immediately fell silent.

"Niang Niang, this matter has not reached the point of no cure, you must calm down now, for His Royal Highness Fu, and for yourself, quickly think of a way!"

Tang Shengxue calmed down a lot, and regained the grace and luxury that a queen should have: "Keep quiet about this, how about your majesty?"

Imperial Physician Li sighed: "Your Majesty is just sweating and coughing now, but the terminal illness is the terminal illness. The minister and the Imperial Hospital are doing their best... as long as four months, as little as... the beginning of January."

Tang Shengxue seemed to be struggling with himself, and it took him a long time to call in his personal maid: "Things have come to this...the only thing we can do is to play a dangerous move..."

"Che'an!" A brisk female voice came from outside the gate of the East Palace.

Zheng Che'an's brows faded a little, and he walked to the door to greet her: "Did Wan'er have a good time today?"

Mi Qingwan was already very familiar with Zheng Che'an, grabbed his arm with both hands, and said with a smile: "Of course, today just caught up with a good show. Guess who I met?"

"How could I know that." Zheng Che'an fondled Mi Qingwan's long hair.

"Haha, Che'an, you know Tang Kuo, right?"

"Tang Kuo?" Zheng Che'an thought for a while, and seemed to have some impressions. Tang Wei's younger brother, that fat and ugly waste back then, Zheng Che'an was quite surprised that he hadn't heard of him causing trouble for many years.So nodded.

"Oh, Tang Kuo is really fat! I doubt he can squeeze into the sedan chair at all."

"How do you talk?" Zheng Che'an also laughed: "Quickly, what's the matter?"

"I happened to watch the end when I arrived, and the ins and outs were described as decent by the people next to me, but it was quite lively!" Mi Qingwan cleared her throat: "This Tang Kuo is the second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment. He is spoiled by heaven, and now he is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Punishment, and Shang Shu is his father, and he lived a happy life in his childhood."

Mi Qingwan said: "Today in the south of the city, Tang Kuo's sedan chair met his elder brother Tang Yu's head-on. Don't you know about Tang Wei? Zhonglang of the Ministry of Officials, a self-sufficient fourth-rank official, is much more famous than his younger brother. "

Speaking of this, Mi Qingwan smiled shyly: "Tang Zhonglang is really good-looking and gentle, but it's a pity that my wife passed away not long ago, what a pity... Ah! By the way, let's get down to business, that kid Tang Kuo should have had a lot since he was a child." Bullying people, seeing his elder brother, not only did not give way to others because of his lower official position, but also made Tang Zhonglang back."

Zheng Che'an frowned. This was very similar to Tang Kuo's style. After all, he bullied his brother a lot when he was a child, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "And then?"

"Then it's the important point," Mi Qingwan said happily, "At first Tang Zhonglang didn't intend to pester him, but Tang Kuo didn't know what to do, so he got off the sedan chair and asked his brother to say hello to him, and then Tang Zhonglang really came down. At first they were just talking, but then they started arguing!"

quarrel?Zheng Che'an's brows tightened: How could it be possible for Tang Wei to quarrel with Ren Da in the street during the day?And is he an unreasonable person like Tang Kuo?

"Do you know why they quarreled?" Mi Qingwan asked mysteriously.

"why?"

"Hehe, it is said that it was for a woman. At that time, Tang Zhonglang was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Tang Kuo. I happened to see this scene. The slap rang so loudly that half of my face turned red."

"What?" Zheng Che'an was a little confused. Did Tang Wei quarrel with someone because of a woman?And beat him up?

In Zheng Che'an's knowledge, Tang Yu had never hit anyone.

Even when he was bullied by Tang Kuo and whipped by Tang Zhengjiang back then, Tang Wei never said a single word of complaint, but now, Tang Wei seemed to have changed, which made Zheng Che'an feel a little strange.

"Are you sure it's a woman?"

"Well," Mi Qingwan nodded, "The surname should be Liu... eh!"

"Wan'er? What's wrong with you?" Zheng Che'an was taken aback, and helped Mi Qingwan to sit down on a chair: "Grandpa Xu, Min'er! Go and call me the imperial physician, hurry up!"

"I'm fine," Mi Qingwan just felt dizzy just now, but now she was a little sick: "Don't worry."

After the imperial physician Chu examined Mi Qingwan's pulse, he smiled and bowed to Zheng Chean: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness, Miss Mi is pregnant!"

"Really!" Zheng Che'an was a little at a loss: "Then...then, rewards! Everyone will be rewarded!"

Zheng Che'an gently took Mi Qingwan's hand: "Wan'er, we are going to have a child..."

"Your Highness..." Mi Qingwan's eyes were indescribably complicated, happy, troubled, sad, at a loss...

"His Royal Highness!" Xu Yijun walked in: "Your Majesty agreed to make Miss Qingwan the crown prince's side concubine today. The reward will arrive in a short while. The empress made the porridge herself. Look...hey, why are you all looking at me!" Xu Yijun said blankly.

"Yi Jun..." Zheng Che'an was a little excited: "Thank you so much!"

"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Xu Yijun hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"Wan'er is pregnant! Now she's a rightful side concubine again...I'm really, really happy..."

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Xu Yijun said, and then opened the food box he brought back: "This is made by the empress herself, thank you Miss Mi... No, the rouge from the concubine."

Zheng Che'an took it with a smile. It was pine nut porridge. The pleasant aroma quickly spread throughout the front hall. Tang Yu liked this kind of porridge very much, and Zheng Che'an gradually fell in love with it.

Zheng Che'an picked up the small spoon, scooped up a spoon and blew, and was about to drink it, when Mi Qingwan suddenly interrupted: "Your Highness, please slow down!"

"What's wrong?" Zheng Che put down the spoon.

"Your Highness... shouldn't you test the poison first?" Mi Qingwan asked.

"My concubine, you are too worried." Xu Yijun said: "Everything in the palace has been inspected, and it was made by the empress herself. If it is poisonous, wouldn't it be too obvious?"

"That's wrong!" Mi Qingwan's face was a little pale: "The next move is risky, but the chances of winning are great!"

"My servant thinks what the side concubine said is reasonable." Min'er said: "In the past, when Mr. Tang was here, even cakes bought on the street had to be tested for poison, let alone something that was in the palace? It's good to have a test. "

Zheng Che'an glanced at Mi Qingwan, nodded to Min'er, and said with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "Worry..."

"Your Highness! It's really poisonous!" Min'er exclaimed holding the silver needle in her hand. The silver needle changed color the moment it was inserted into the porridge, and the blackness was shocking.

Zheng Che'an's face was livid, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled slightly in anger: "Enter the palace! I want to see Your Majesty!"
