Chapter 254 Remember
Cao Guangjin was afraid that Jiang Lianzhi would die in his house, but he was even more afraid that the Western Jue people would suddenly attack.
What he was worried about was that if Jiang Lianzhi left, who would come forward to negotiate peace?
Whether Jiang Lianzhi returned to Shengjing or not had no impact on Shen Yu. It was just that Jiang Lianzhi was lifeless the day before, and looked like he wanted to become a monk. Why would he suddenly want to return to Beijing?
"I understand." Shen Yu nodded.
Cao Guangjin: "Then..."
Chen Yu said: "Master Cao, please go back first. Master Jiang is an official appointed by the court and a free man. I can't control him."
Cao Guangjin was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet, but seeing that Chen Yu looked as if it had nothing to do with him, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Shen Yu took two steps back and stopped at the door. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and headed towards Cao Guangjin's mansion.
There was already a carriage parked in front of the Cao residence. Maids were running in and out to get things, and trying their best to make the carriage comfortable.
Seeing Chen Yu, the maids all stepped aside and squatted to salute.
As soon as Chen Yu walked into Jiang Lianzhi's courtyard, she heard Cao Guangjin's voice.
"The journey is long, and the master is not well yet. It is better to wait until the master is better before leaving."
Jiang Lianzhi's voice was still weak, "It's okay, it's the same when you're recovering on the road."
"But……"
Cao Guangjin wanted to persuade him again, but Jiang Lianzhi had already seen Chen Yu coming in.
"Master Cao, please go back first. I have something to say to the princess."
As soon as she saw the carriage, Chen Yu knew that Jiang Lianzhi was ready to leave immediately. He had changed his clothes and was wrapped in a thick cloak. His face was still pale and he looked so weak that he seemed like he was going to faint at the next moment.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Jiang Lianzhi said, "I left a letter and explained the situation in it. Now that you are here, I will tell you directly, which will be clearer than what I wrote in the letter."
Chen Yu asked, "Why did you leave in such a hurry? Did something happen in Shengjing?"
Jiang Lianzhi nodded slowly and handed a letter to Chen Yu.
While Chen Yu was reading the letter, she listened to Jiang Lianzhi saying, "Emperor Yongning has woken up. I'm afraid he woke up just after the person who was trying to get the news for you left Shengjing. But his condition is very bad. The imperial physician is helpless, and the imperial relatives are forcing Emperor Yongning to appoint a crown prince."
"Li Zhaonian
Have you agreed?"
"Compromise, but no compromise." Jiang Lianzhi said: "He established the Prince of Yan as the Crown Prince."
"What?" Chen Yu raised her head and said in surprise, "He has a son, so his maternal relatives will not agree."
Li Zhaonian was in the Forbidden Palace, and all meals were under the charge of the Shangshenjian. Of course, he would put his own people in such an important position.
No one can manipulate it, except... except the people closest to him.
Chen Yu couldn't imagine how desperate Li Zhaonian must be at this moment. He was a man with a clean heart, but after being pushed to that position, all the people around him were blinded by power and turned into monsters who only cared about interests and power.
Jiang Lianzhi said calmly: "That's right. They poisoned Emperor Yongning with the intention of killing him, but he woke up. So they had to force him to become the crown prince. Emperor Yongning is really a smart man, but he is not so lucky."
Shen Yu frowned, "What is the situation in the court now?"
"The court is divided into two factions. One faction of relatives supports the infant crown prince, and the other faction supports Li Jifeng. The rest of the people are waiting to see what happens."
Jiang Lianzhi added: "The elder cabinet member prepared a letter to the emperor, angrily denounced the faction of the imperial relatives in the court, and then he fell ill and could not get up."
Chen Yu knew why Jiang Lianzhi wanted to leave suddenly. Jiang Yuanqing was his grandfather, and now that the elder was seriously ill, it was indeed time for him, the legitimate grandson, to go back.
Jiang Lianzhi was very perceptive and had guessed what she was thinking. "Your guess is correct. First, my grandfather is seriously ill, so I should go back. Second."
He paused for a moment and looked at Chen Yu seriously, "I'll go back and stabilize the situation for you."
Chen Yu did not show her surprise on her face, but just looked at Jiang Lianzhi with scrutiny.
"I don't trust you as a person."
Jiang Lianzhi smiled. He already knew the answer. "It doesn't matter. Whether you believe me or not, I will do what I have to do. If you are worried that I will go back and stir up trouble, you can just kill me now. If I die in your hands, I will die a worthy death."
Chen Yu pressed the letter paper on the table.
Jiang Lianzhi added: "Since you are not going to kill me, I have to leave. If I am late, the situation may change."
Shen Yu didn't answer, so he stood up. Gao Jin hurried forward to support him. When he reached the door, Jiang Lianzhi stopped and looked back.
He took a look, but only saw half of Chen Yu's profile.
Jiang Lianzhi walked out.
He thought a lot. Since that night, he had been thinking that the past cannot be recalled.
In her previous life, Chen Yu died in the icy lake, and in this life, Jiang Lianzhi also died in the heavy snow at Yanliang Pass that night.
There seemed to be no difference between being alive and being dead to him. He became an insignificant person in this world.
But since we are in this world, we must leave something behind to prove that we exist.
After thinking it over, he realized that other people's thoughts were like floating duckweed to him, and he hoped that the only person who could remember him was Chen Yu.
He was just a passer-by to her, and he had to work very hard to make her remember him.
He wanted her to remember him.
…
The Xuanhui Hall was filled with a thick medicinal smell.
Li Zhaonian lay on the dragon couch, looking up at the high ceiling, "My grandfather and father both died on this dragon couch."
The eunuch was kneeling at his feet, and Li Jifeng was sitting on a chair very close to the couch so that he could hear Li Zhaonian's weak words clearly.
"The imperial physician will cure my brother." Li Jifeng said.
Li Zhaonian seemed to smile. "I walked through the gates of hell and woke up to find that this place is more terrifying than hell."
The man beside him raised a knife to him and tried to kill him without showing any mercy.
Li Zhaonian recalled the day when he and the queen got married. At that time, the queen was not yet the queen, and he was still a prince without any power.
Emperor Tongxu arranged a marriage for him, giving him the youngest legitimate daughter of the Chu family, so that his father-in-law's family could become his backer. Fortunately, after Emperor Tongxu passed away, he, who did not fight or compete, would not die at the hands of other princes.
In order to have children, the royal family has always married very early, and he was only fifteen that year.
When the veil was lifted, the fourteen-year-old Chu smiled at the fifteen-year-old Li Zhaonian. She was very beautiful, with a pair of dimples on her face and clear eyes.
At that time he thought, this is the person I will spend the rest of my life with, he will love her, respect her, and treat her well.
Li Zhaonian tried hard. Except loving her, he did everything else.
But it was this person, with whom he had promised to spend his life, who put poison in his food.
