readx(); This time, Concubine Yun lived in Prince Chun's Mansion in a relatively quiet manner. She did not make any trouble and did not make any renovations to the Mansion. She just stayed in her own yard obediently all day, and would be in a daze for the whole day.
But her behavior made the servants feel a little disturbed. The people in Prince Chun's mansion were used to the fact that Concubine Yun would make trouble every time she came, tearing down the house and removing tiles. Now that she suddenly stopped making trouble this time, they were not used to it.
So when Feng Yuheng came, a servant whispered to her: "Princess, please persuade the lady! Don't let her feel too depressed, it will make her sick."
Feng Yuheng also knew this truth. She thought about it and simply took out some good things from the space to make Yun Fei happy. Yun Fei also gave her face and was very interested in the lipstick, air cushion, lotion, essence, eye shadow and other cosmetics she took out. She kept asking her questions.
Feng Yuheng was relieved. She was not afraid of Concubine Yun asking, but she was afraid that Concubine Yun would not ask. If these things that everyone loves for a woman could not attract her interest, then she really should take Concubine Yun to see a doctor.
She pulled Yun Fei and talked about everything she knew about cosmetics, and she almost told her the brand story. But she still couldn't kill all the time. As she talked, Feng Yuheng's shallow knowledge about cosmetics was all gone, and she couldn't say anything more. The two of them just laughed dryly at each other, and as they laughed, Yun Fei's face became sad again.
Feng Yuheng had no more ideas, so he simply pulled Concubine Yun and said, "Mother, just say whatever is on your mind. It's not a good idea to keep it to yourself. Now that things have already happened, none of us can pretend that they don't exist. Deliberately avoiding them is not the best solution. You feel bad, and we, as your children, are also upset. Talk about it, and Ah Heng will tell you everything I know and analyze so far."
When she said this, Concubine Yun immediately perked up and asked hurriedly, "Then tell me, what kind of evil spirit has possessed the old man?" Concubine Yun was sure that Emperor Tianwu was possessed by an evil spirit. In her words, "If he hadn't been possessed by an evil spirit, this would never have happened. I know him."
"Mother." Regarding the matter of Emperor Tianwu, Feng Yuheng actually wanted to hear Concubine Yun's opinion. After all, Concubine Yun was the one who knew Emperor Tianwu best, and she could see many things more clearly than she did. So she asked, "Do you really conclude that my father was possessed by evil?"
Concubine Yun nodded seriously, "Yes, it's evil. Don't you think this matter is full of evil from the inside out? Human nature will not change. If young people can't get their loved ones, they will think that their loved ones are all good, and once they get them, they will think that it's just so-so and no longer treasure them. But the old man is at this age. If he was a playboy, he wouldn't have had a peaceful life in the harem for more than 20 years. If he wanted to become bad, he would have changed long ago. Why did he miss his prime and wait until his twilight years to make trouble?" As she spoke, she sighed with some sadness, "At this age, how many more years can he make trouble? He might as well be quiet and live more years."
Feng Yuheng added: "Mother knows father best."
"Yes, I am indeed the one who knows him best." Concubine Yun couldn't stop talking once she opened her mouth. She said to Feng Yuheng, "On the day of your wedding in the South Realm, I invited him to Yuehan Palace. Since then, he has eaten three meals a day in my palace. But I never think that he no longer takes me seriously because he finally overcame this difficulty of mine. Xuan Zhan is a very good man. Although I have avoided seeing him for more than 20 years, I still use such words to evaluate him. It is said that husband and wife are connected by heart. Although we have never met again after the incident, I can clearly feel that something is wrong with him. He is not threatened by others, but a kind of evil-like demon, as if he is controlled by someone..." She pondered for a while and pointed to her head, "Here! Ah Heng, can you understand? I think this part of Xuan Zhan has been controlled by someone, so that he has become what he is now."
Concubine Yun's words reminded Feng Yuheng that although she had thought about the idea that Xuan Zhan was controlled by someone, in this era, she could not think of any other way to control a person's brain and central nervous system to completely transform a person both physically and mentally.
When she raised this question, Concubine Yun also fell into deep thought, but the two of them reached a consensus on the fact that Emperor Tianwu was controlled. Seeing that they could not analyze the deeper reasons for the time being, Feng Yuheng said to Concubine Yun: "Since it has been confirmed whether it was the father's own wish, mother should not be sad anymore. It is better to transform this sadness into strength, and let's work together to find a way to rescue the father."
Concubine Yun nodded and said quietly, "Just because I don't see him doesn't mean I don't think about him. For the past twenty years, every night, whenever I had a dream, I dreamed of him. There were pictures of him barefoot in the village, and there were pictures of him wearing a dragon robe in the palace. If I dreamed of him in the village, I would smile; if I dreamed of him wearing a dragon robe, I would be awakened by a chill. Ah Heng, please save him! This country, this world, no matter who it is given to in the future, it will definitely be his son. Tell Ming'er that we don't have to fight. The beautiful mountains and rivers outside are much better than the small square of land in the palace. Why don't you do something else? Why do you have to be the emperor?"
Feng Yuheng had the same idea as Concubine Yun, but she told Concubine Yun: "My husband said that he didn't want to fight for the country, but he couldn't watch it fall into the hands of people with bad intentions. He had to help his father to protect the country and hand it over to the most reliable person, so that he could rest assured."
Concubine Yun didn't say anything else. She knew in her heart that this was a responsibility as a prince and a minister, and an explanation to the ancestors of the Xuan family. She couldn't persuade him anymore, and only begged Feng Yuheng to save Emperor Tianwu, and then said that she wanted to rest and sent Feng Yuheng back.
Back at the Prince Yu's Mansion, Feng Yuheng was also full of worries. She desperately wondered what kind of means were used to control the brain of Emperor Tianwu. Could there be such a brilliant person and medicine in this era? It was not until now that she realized that she knew too little about the era in which she lived.
In this politically turbulent time, every household has their own considerations, and after consideration, they clearly choose their side. People know that this time they choose to stand, which may be the last time. And they also think that this choice will definitely be the most normal, because it is a decision made according to the emperor's will, not based on their own conjectures. With the emperor as a backer, the eighth prince will never lose, what are they afraid of?
However, some people do not think so, such as the left prime minister Lu Song.
Lu Song has become smarter now. He has made up his mind that he will follow the Ninth Prince and Feng Yuheng. No matter how things look on the surface, as long as he follows these two people, everything will eventually develop in a good direction. He said to his wife Ge and his only remaining daughter Lu Ping: "Although the Eighth Prince seems to be in power now, and although Concubine Yuan Shu is also a unique figure in the harem, I think this matter is still not safe. The emperor's condition does not seem normal at all. I am afraid there is some calculation here, but we can't see it now."
Madam Ge also said, "Besides, our family has a deep hatred with the Eighth Prince. As long as I think of Yan'er's death, even if the Eighth Prince can finally ascend to the throne, I can't swallow this anger and stand on his side."
Lu Song nodded, "Yes! And even if we are willing to stand, they won't want us. So what I mean is that our Lu family must stand firm from now on and support His Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji'an wholeheartedly. No matter what others think or say, we must not be influenced by the outside world."
Madam Ge frowned and asked, "But can His Majesty the Ninth Prince look favorably upon us? It's true that the Master is the Left Prime Minister, which is a rare help for any prince. But it's just that His Majesty the Ninth Prince, if he doesn't like anyone, then no matter how capable or powerful you are, he will still ignore you."
Lu Song waved his hand and said, "It's not as difficult as before. Over the past year, I have cooperated very well with the Right Prime Minister Feng. I have undermined the Eighth Prince several times, and I'm sure His Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji'an have seen it. Many things are like this, and there is no need to say it clearly, but as long as we speak and act on the same side, at least we won't become enemies." When he said this, he shuddered, "It's really terrible to become enemies with His Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji'an."
The Lu family had a deep understanding of this. If they had not had a grudge with Feng Yuheng at the beginning, the Lu family would not have fallen into the current situation. Although the family's current situation is not as embarrassing as it was at the beginning, it is difficult to recover the business. Not to mention the restrictions everywhere, the Lu family lost their son and daughter, and there are no more servants to help. Lu Song is also devoted to the government. How can a Ge family handle this business? They had no choice but to give up doing business outside. They only had a small shop in Beijing and a farm outside Beijing to maintain their business.
As Lu Song spoke, he looked at Lu Ping. Lu Ping did not wear a veil at home, but she could not do without strong spices. Wherever she was, the whole house was filled with fragrance, which was pungent.
But there is no way to do this. If Lu Ping is not fragrant, then it will only stink. Compared with the stinky smell, the fragrant one is better, although it is a low-quality fragrance.
"Madam, you should find more good spices for Ping'er. It's not a good idea to always use those bought from the street." Lu Song said to Ge: "Now our family is not as tight as before. Even if we can't get the ancient Shu's hundred-spice perfume, we in Dashun are not without good perfumes."
Mrs. Ge glanced at Lu Ping and snorted, "I didn't fail to send her the good spices. I bought her spices worth one penny of silver and one ounce of silver. If she doesn't use them, who can she blame?"
Lu Song looked at Lu Ping in confusion: "You have something good, why don't you use it?"
Lu Ping had already made plans for this, and immediately answered, "There are indeed spices that cost one penny for one hundred taels of silver, but not much. They are very precious to Ping'er. Ping'er wants to keep them for when she goes out of the house, so if she keeps them at home... she won't waste them!"
Lu Song sighed, "You are a thoughtful girl. Since you are thoughtful, I will tell you the following words..."
