Chapter 140 His Majesty suddenly falls ill
Seeing that his persuasion was somewhat useful, Wen Chenghua took the opportunity to explain some more principles to him.
"You mentioned Gong Bin just now, what happened to him?"
Mentioning the things he was interested in, Wen Chengxuan said excitedly: "I originally thought this kid was just a fool, but I didn't expect him to be just like Lu Zhao, a stubborn guy."
Wen Chenghua glanced at him, "So?"
"So?" Wen Chengxuan was confused. "Don't you think it's a little strange that His Majesty promoted him to an official position?"
"So what?" Wen Chenghua said, "Don't tell me you're going to do anything to him."
"How could that be possible?" Wen Chengxuan had just been scolded, and he did not dare to do it again. "The person recommended by His Majesty himself must be good. I am not so foolish as to go against His Majesty.
Besides, there is no conflict of interest between me and that guy. As long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't bother with such a small person."
Wen Chenghua heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, "That's good, I have to go out today, and I'm a little worried, so let's talk about it today.
You have always been easily deceived, so don't let those villains deceive you. Remember to think twice before you act. If you have anything to discuss, you must wait for me to come back before discussing it."
Wen Chengxuan stood up hastily, "Where are you going, Fourth Brother?"
Wen Chenghua packed up the chess pieces and said, "There is some business outside, I have to go and ask about it in person."
"Can't you just stay in Beijing?"
Wen Chenghua smiled and nodded his head, "How can you just sit back and enjoy the good life? What the palace gives you is far from enough to ensure that you and your mother have enough food and clothing. I have to find another way to support you.
The blueprints for the temporary palace have been drawn. When it is completed, I will bring your mother out of the palace and marry you a wife with a clean family background, virtuous and kind heart. Then I will be relieved of most of my worries."
Wen Chengxuan rushed over and said, "Fourth brother, you treat me so well."
Wen Chenghua had already dodged, leaving only a piece of pure white clothes.
"Don't get close to me."
"I know, I know. I smell, and your nose can't stand it."
A few days later, a major event broke out in the palace.
Your Majesty suddenly fell seriously ill and could not get up. The Queen Mother summoned the imperial physician into the palace overnight to treat Your Majesty.
This incident caused an uproar in the capital.
No news was leaked from the palace. The officials only knew that on the evening of the day before His Majesty fell ill, Lu Zhao was urgently summoned to the palace to discuss important matters all night.
No word was revealed about what was discussed.
Lu Zhao also disappeared after that day.
Yuan Qing helped him guard the door and locked the main house.
Whenever someone asked her about it, she always answered that she didn't know.
She really didn't know that Lu Zhao disappeared on the night he entered the palace without saying goodbye to anyone, including her.
This sudden change made the civil and military officials in the court very anxious. They discussed it privately and decided to go to the prime minister to find out the truth.
Your Majesty has fallen ill, and now the Prime Minister is temporarily taking charge of the government, with all the officials assisting him.
The gate of Yuan Mansion was always crowded with people. In order to avoid those people, Empress Dowager Yuan ordered people to set up a temporary office for her brother in the palace for emergency use.
And Lou Yin also hid away somewhere else to have some free time.
There was basically no one left in the entire Yuan family except for some servants who cleaned the house and guards who guarded the gate.
The officials were unwilling to leave without receiving confirmation, and they all went to the palace gate to block the way, ready to arrest and interrogate anyone who came out.
After all the fighting, the eunuchs had to hide in the palace in dishevel and never showed up again. They dared not accept any missions even if they were asked to do so.
They were all still young and had never seen such a scene. They were so scared that they couldn't sleep well at night.
Eunuch Shun was the chief eunuch for two dynasties and had dealt with such situations many times during the reign of Emperor Yuanheng.
He took on the job of running errands and delivering messages, running back and forth between the office and the palace gate every day. This became the only channel for ministers to obtain information.
Wen Chengxuan was hugging his distinguished guest and having fun. When he heard the person sitting next to him talking about this, he was initially tempted.
But he turned around and remembered what his fourth brother had told him before he left, so he sat back down and calmed down.
Seeing that he was unmoved, the people around him stopped talking for fear of annoying him, and said with a big smile: "In such a blissful place, let's not say those things that spoil the mood. Come on, come on, drink!"
Wen Chengxuan also held up his cup, kissed the beauty on the face, and said, "That's right, what does government have to do with us? If the sky falls, there are people to hold it up, so it won't fall on our heads. We just have to enjoy it. This is a blessing from heaven, right?"
"Your Highness is right." All the dandies present agreed.
Wen Chengxuan held the beauty in his arms, picked up the wine and poured it down, causing the beauty to scream.
The drunken beauty raised her head, and was attracted by Wen Chengxuan's deep eyes in a trance.
She looked at him in a daze, "My Lord?"
Wen Chengxuan turned his head and looked away indifferently.
The beauty didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and even her movements became much more restrained.
She felt a little uneasy, as if the look in Prince Xuan's eyes just now seemed a little...
terrible.
When this thought came to her mind, even the beauty herself was shocked.
She then smiled and shook her head, then fell softly into Wen Chengxuan's arms.
