Chapter 387 House arrest

  After Qin Huai's reprimand, there was a violent cough in his throat, "cough cough cough..."

   "The emperor!"

  Eunuch Fu hurried forward to check, and said in panic: "The emperor must not be overly emotional."

  The coughing sound was really scary, Concubine De was so frightened that she took a step back, and then shut her mouth embarrassingly.

  Eunuch Fu patted his back again, and fed him water again, Qin Huai finally recovered, and leaned on the pillow more and more weakly.

   After a moment's rest, he glanced at Concubine De with exhaustion between his brows, and dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.

  Thinking of the 30,000 elite soldiers in the hands of Concubine De's father, Qin Huai suppressed his unhappiness, and asked softly, "What's the matter with Concubine Ai?"

   When Concubine De heard the emperor's voice, she knew that the anger had dissipated. She hurriedly stepped forward holding the handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something important to say."

   After finishing speaking, Concubine De glanced at Eunuch Fu, apparently to make the screen retreat.

  Qin Huai waved at Eunuch Fu, Eunuch Fu's eyelids trembled, and he quickly retreated respectfully.

  Suddenly, there were only two people left in the room.

  Qin Huai felt a little stuffy in his chest, and raised his finger to point to the window, ready to be opened more.

  In the end, Concubine De got it wrong, she held the emperor's hand helplessly, and said shyly: "I remember when I first married the emperor, once the emperor fell ill, he wanted to hold the concubine's hand, and this habit has not changed now."

Qin Huai held back his heart again, looking at the aged woman in front of him, with thick makeup on her face and fine lines at the corners of her eyes, he shook her hand away in disgust, and coaxed: "My concubine, stop making trouble. , What exactly are you going to say here?"

Concubine De didn't look at the disgust in the emperor's eyes, and hurriedly said: "My father sent someone to send a message. The emperor didn't go to the morning court for two days, and the memorials in the imperial study were piled up. There seemed to be war remnants in the border town. The ministers were dissatisfied and recommended Prince Gong to supervise the government."

  When Qin Huai heard this, his expression immediately sank.

Prince Gong is the younger brother of the former emperor's mother and compatriots. He is nearly fifty now, and he is a very serious and old-fashioned. The emperor should not be obsessed with beauty, but should go to Buddhist temples to cultivate his mind, so as to preserve his vitality.

  Thinking of this, Qin Huai's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "I'm still alive and well, so I don't need someone to oversee the government. Those old men in the court don't take me seriously any more!"

   After saying so many words in one breath, Qin Huai covered his chest and coughed a few times, "Huh..." I felt my heart beating violently, and my chest seemed to be lacking in oxygen.

Concubine De hurriedly reassured her, and comforted her: "Don't be angry, your majesty. Daddy just reminded me that no one dares to decide on the specific matters. The majesty must take care of himself as soon as possible, so those ministers have nothing to say." .”

  Qin Huai suppressed the anger in his heart, closed his eyes and took it easy.

   Rong Yan!

  It must be his fault. Two days ago, he just felt dizzy, but it got worse after drinking the medicine. The imperial doctor said it was a cold, and he couldn't see the wind. Finally, he was put under house arrest and couldn't go out.

  His hidden guards seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news at all, and no matter who he asked to pass the news on, it was like sinking into the sea without any response.

  Concubine De was able to receive the message from home, it must be that Rong Yan deliberately put it in to stimulate him with these messages.

  Thinking of this, Qin Huai clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could go out and kill him immediately.

Concubine De saw that the emperor closed her eyes and did not speak, she knew in her heart that he must be worried about court affairs, and then she changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, Jin Yuan is not young anymore, this girl was spoiled by me when she was young, and now she talks about it every day. If you want to marry that number one scholar, the emperor must have seen that number one scholar before, how is he?"

Hearing the number one scholar, Qin Huai's chest was filled with fire again, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at Concubine De, and said in a cold tone: "Jin Yuan is naughty, you can't escape being a mother, a good woman seems to be raised by you What does it look like, chasing after a man every day is a disgrace to the royal family!"

  Concubine De's expression was a little uneasy at the moment, she pinched her veil and bit her lip.

Qin Huai vented his anger after scolding someone. Seeing Concubine De's aggrieved look, he felt inexplicably relieved, and said softly: "Jin Yuan is my daughter, and the champion is indeed He is a talented person, with a little support in the future, he will surely become a weapon, I have already drawn up the imperial decree, and I will issue it soon."

  The Zhuangyuan Lang's family had friendship with the empress, and seemed to have little involvement with Rong Yan. Originally, he didn't want to contaminate people who were involved with Rong Yan, but the secret guards found out that Wang Qiusheng was in love with the daughter of the Minister of War.

  Shangshu of the Ministry of War is an important official position, and this number one scholar has a relationship with Rong Yan, if the three of them collude, it will make him feel cold, and this matter has to be guarded against.

  Considering the overall situation, he drafted an imperial decree overnight to marry Princess Jinyuan and the newly promoted No. 1 Scholar, so that he is a member of the royal family.

  Concubine De was scolded for a while, and when she heard the news, she immediately showed joy, and hurriedly got up to salute: "The concubine thanked the father on behalf of Jinyuan."

Qin Huai nodded, gave him a hand from the void, and sighed slowly: "It's good for my concubine to know that I have your mother and daughter in my heart, and let the old man stare outside more, ahem...keep guarding my country, so that I can Hold up a sky for you mother and daughter."

  Concubine De's complexion softened a bit, and she responded obediently: "Yes, I understand, I will talk to Daddy now."

  Qin Huai nodded, and asked casually: "Nothing happened in the harem these two days."

   Concubine De shook her head, suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly and said: "Today I heard that the Empress Dowager issued a decree, and the **** said that the red silk beside the Empress was following to send it off, but I don't know who it is for."

  Qin Huai didn't take it seriously when he heard it. The Empress Dowager's decree mostly rewarded the noble daughters of the ministers' families in the court. As long as it didn't involve court affairs, he didn't bother to ask about the trivial matters of the harem.

Qin Huai fumbled for the jade pendant under the pillow, but seeing Concubine De's stupid face, and not trusting to leave this matter to her, Nai said irritably in his eyes: "When Concubine Ai is here for a long time, don't get sick, go back Bar."

   "Yes, the concubine will come to visit the emperor tomorrow."

  Concubine De was anxious to tell her daughter the good news of the marriage, so she saluted and left.

  After Concubine De left, Eunuch Fu walked in.

  Qin Huai squeezed the jade pendant and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

  Suddenly dissatisfied in his heart, he fell ill and stayed in bed for two days, prohibiting concubines from the harem to visit.

Concubine De still knew to come and take a look today, but the queen and the prince didn't move. He knew that the queen was because of the beauty last time, but he was a majestic emperor and a harem beauty. What's wrong with a woman? Generous and virtuous, how could she be so petty, not as sensible as Concubine De.

  But, it is undeniable that the only one who can help him in the harem is this always smart queen. Qin Huai hesitated for a moment, then ordered weakly: "Go and call the queen."

   "Yes, the slave will go now."

  Eunuch Fu leaned over and backed out.
