Son as Wife

Chapter 80 Finale

  "Your Majesty, I, I don't understand..." Jiang Rongjia was stunned, and his tone was not smooth.

Xiao Yanchu was still smiling, but there seemed to be some traces of resentment in his eyes, he looked at Jiang Rongjia and said quietly: "Does Jiajia really not understand, or does she not want to understand?"

Jiang Rongjia opened his mouth, but something seemed to choke his throat, unable to speak.

Xiao Yanchu was also impulsive today, although he was disappointed that he didn't get Jiang Rongjia's reply, but it was not surprising. He had no intention of forcing Jiang Rongjia any more, and took a step back.

Only then did Jiang Rongjia unconsciously let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

Not thinking about the next moment, I heard Xiao Yanchu say again: "...my queen, there is only one person in the world. If I can have her companionship, it will be the luck of my life. If not, I will be a lonely family for the rest of my life."

Xiao Yanchu The tone was gentle, but the resoluteness in the words couldn't be more distinct. It was like thunder falling in Jiang Rongjia's ears, his body trembled slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yanchu almost in disbelief.

...

Jiang Rongjia still failed to give the answer Xiao Yanchu wanted in the end, until he was personally sent back to the door of the house by the carriage and guards sent by Xiao Yanchu, and the guards who escorted him retreated and left.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Rongjia rubbed his face vigorously, then put on a normal expression, and stepped into the house. Instinctively, he didn't want his family to know about his relationship with Xiao Yanchu, at least not until he figured it out.

Jiang Rongjia deliberately concealed it, but Jiang Chenghan and Yan Jingshu didn't see it. But the next day when he came to the Hanlin Academy again, Jiang Rongjia, who was worried about how to deal with Xiao Yanchu, didn't wait for the emperor to pass on his orders, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the days that followed, everything seemed to be the same as in the past. Xiao Yanchu didn't come to see Jiang Rongjia on purpose, nor did he do anything else. Jiang Rongjia just went to and from the office every day according to the time of day, which gave him a vague illusion , as if the words he heard that day were just his imagination, and nothing happened at all.

But Jiang Rongjia knew that some things didn't just happen if he pretended he didn't know anything, so he could really pretend nothing happened. In particular, although he was not able to go to the court, but after Xiao Yanchu had been on the throne for a long time, the government had stabilized, and the matter of conferring the concubine to the empress had reached the point of no delay.

In addition to the courtiers pressing every step of the way, there are also many restless clan members who take advantage of this troubled water to fish in troubled waters, and a lot of troubles arise. However, Xiao Yanchu still did not change his original intention, no matter how hard the courtiers and clan begged, he never took a step back on this matter.

Jiang Rongjia couldn't help feeling worried for Xiao Yanchu, wanted to see Xiao Yanchu, but didn't know what to say to him, and was anxious and embarrassed for a while.

Seeing that things were getting worse, even the folks began to spread rumors, and there were even rumors about whether Xiao Yanchu was incompetent or not. Jiang Rongjia finally couldn't bear it any longer, and not long after the Yichaohui ended, he came to Zhaohua Palace for the first time on his own initiative, begging to see Xiao Yanchu.

Jiang Rongjia actually didn't know what to say to Xiao Yanchu when he saw him, but no matter what, he couldn't keep avoiding Xiao Yanchu like this, this matter had to be settled.

On the way here, Jiang Rongjia kept thinking about the scene of seeing Xiao Yanchu again, what Xiao Yanchu might say, and what he should say. However, he thought of many possibilities, but what Dudu never thought of was that Xiao Yanchu didn't want to see him.

Jiang Rongjia, who had never been rejected by Xiao Yanchu, froze on the spot when he heard the palace man's reply, not knowing how to react for a moment. Is Brother Mo Yan annoyed him? Because of avoiding seeing these days?

Jiang Rongjia felt a little wronged, although he never took the initiative to come to him, but Xiao Yanchu never summoned him since that day. He used to feel a little lucky, but now that he thinks about it, he just said that to him, and never saw him again. Could it be that they were just playing with him?

Jiang Rongjia pursed his lips without saying a word, turned his head and was about to leave, he would never come here again. Thinking so in my heart, I walked down the steps in front of Zhaohua Hall step by step with heavy steps.

At this moment, a sound of hurried footsteps came, "Hurry up, the imperial doctor is here—"

Jiang Rongjia subconsciously paused, followed the sound, and saw a palace servant who was serving Xiao Yanchu, leading the doctor. Several imperial physicians hurried into Zhaohua Hall.

After a while, Jiang Rongjia turned around abruptly, and almost ran towards Zhaohua Palace. Regardless of the obstruction of the palace guards, he pushed open the door and rushed in, and went straight to the bedroom.

"Master Jiang, Master Jiang, please don't—" The palace servants who blocked Jiang Rongjia chased him in, but they couldn't stop him.

On the dragon couch, Xiao Yanchu was still dressed in the same clothes as when he was in court, only the crown was taken off, his eyes were closed and he was leaning on the couch with a tired expression, one hand was rubbing his forehead, while the other arm was resting on the side of the couch . The sleeves were turned up, revealing the forearm stained with bright red blood.

There was an imperial physician and palace servants in the sleeping hall, it was so noisy that Xiao Yanchu didn't hear Jiang Rongjia's footsteps at first, until the palace servants who blocked Jiang Rongjia chased him in, he opened his eyes and looked over, "Jiajia? "

After a moment of accident, Xiao Yanchu thought of something, hurriedly pulled off his sleeve to cover his forearm, but there was no time at this moment.

The bright red and dazzling blood came into view, Jiang Rongjia's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression changed suddenly, "What's going on? Who hurt you?"

Although the injury was on his own body, Xiao Yanchu didn't look nervous at all. He smiled and comforted Jiang Rongjia, saying: "Jiajia knows my skills, who can hurt me. Don't worry, it's just a flesh injury. It will be fine in a few days." Alright."

But Jiang Rongjia couldn't be fooled by Xiao Yanchu's few words, he still had a serious face, but ignored Xiao Yanchu, just stood silently aside, watching the imperial physician diagnose and treat Xiao Yanchu. After seeing the imperial doctor and bandaging Xiao Yanchu's pulse, as Xiao Yanchu said just now, he diagnosed that Xiao Yanchu was indeed just a flesh injury, and there was no other serious problem, so he didn't say anything.

After the diagnosis and treatment, the imperial physicians resigned and left. Xiao Yanchu looked at Jiang Rongjia's still unrelenting expression, felt helpless, and then sent all the palace servants out.

Only then did Jiang Rongjia speak, looked straight at Xiao Yanchu, and said, "What's going on?"

Just as Xiao Yanchu was about to speak, Jiang Rongjia added, "Don't try to fool me. If you don't say it today, you will never say it in the future. It's gone."

Xiao Yanchu paused, but he didn't dare to say what was on his lips. Seeing Jiang Rongjia's insistence, he could only say: "It's really nothing, I just drank some soup with added ingredients. It's just a small knife."

Jiang Rongjia frowned immediately when he heard that, "Someone gave you medicine?! Can the medicine be cured? Will it affect the body?" Just now Xiao Yanchu told himself that he was only injured on the flesh, those imperial physicians naturally I had to follow Xiao Yanchu's words.

Xiao Yanchu shook his head, knowing that this matter should not be fooled lightly, so he explained truthfully: "It's just acacia powder, it's not harmful to the body, but the effect of the medicine is strong, and the seizures are a bit severe, now that the medicine's effect has been relieved, it will be fine."

Jiang Rongjia was not an ignorant child, so he naturally knew what Hehuansan was, but he became even more annoyed. Using this kind of dirty thing on Xiao Yanchu, trying to force him to submit, is simply damned.

"Who is it?" Jiang Rongjia had a solemn expression on his face, this matter must not be let go.

"There is a court lady serving incense in the Zhaohua Palace, but that court lady is only instigated by someone, and the people behind it need to investigate again." Xiao Yanchu said, a court lady would not have the guts to prescribe medicine to herself.

Jiang Rongjia nodded and said, "I will tell my father about this matter, and we must arrest the people behind the scenes." Jiang Chenghan's inspection department is directly under the emperor, and this matter is also his responsibility.

After making up his mind, Jiang Rongjia wanted to go out of the palace immediately to inform Jiang Chenghan, and start the investigation earlier, so as to relieve Xiao Yanchu's threat sooner. Compared with Xiao Yanchu's safety, everything else is nothing.

But before leaving, he still worriedly told Xiao Yanchu: "Your Highness, take good care of your wounds, rest early, and pay attention to your diet. Don't touch hair, and don't get wet, so as not to aggravate the wound..."

Xu Xu asked many, Xiao Yanchu Smiling and nodding in response, Jiang Rongjia felt a little relieved. After leaving, he turned around and prepared to leave, Xiao Yanchu personally escorted him to the gate of the hall.

Walking down the steps, Jiang Rongjia looked back for some reason, the candles in the hall were brightly lit, and Xiao Yanchu was standing quietly under the gate of the palace in the majestic and magnificent palace, his lonely and frail figure made Jiang Rongjia feel inexplicably shivering.

Back home, Jiang Rongjiadang told Jiang Chenghan about Xiao Yanchu being drugged in Zhaohua Palace, Jiang Chenghan's expression became serious immediately, and Dang even left home to go to the Audit Department.

After sending Jiang Chenghan away, Yan Jingshu couldn't help but sighed, and said: "Even if this one is found out, there may be a second or third one... The matter of sealing the queen is uncertain for a day. It won't be completely peaceful for

a day..." Jiang Rongjia froze, pursed his lips, and struggled in his eyes. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth. There are some things that he can't escape after all.

"Father, half a month ago, His Majesty called me to Zhaohua Palace..." Jiang Rongjia took a deep breath, and recalled everything that happened in the past few days, those words of Xiao Yanchu, those vows, and his own hesitation. Everything has been said.

Yan Jingshu listened quietly all the time, his complexion didn't change at all, as if he wasn't surprised at all, after Jiang Rongjia finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, and then asked Jiang Rongjia, "Jiajia, if you are not Shuang'er , but a woman, but still feel embarrassed about this matter?"

Jiang Rongjia subconsciously said: "Of course not, but..." After confiscating the words, he stopped abruptly, because he also instantly understood why Yan Jingshu did this ask.

If he is a woman, Xiao Yanchu has such affectionate promise, and it is too late to be moved, so how can he be distressed, embarrassed and hesitant. But he is not a woman, not only is he not a woman, he is also a twin who is difficult to conceive. Even if he and Xiao Yanchu were together, they would probably have no offspring in the future.

And although he couldn't bear to disappoint Xiao Yanchu's intentions, and couldn't bear Xiao Yanchu to be alone, but he never forgot the earnest teachings of his two fathers, and he didn't want to ruin his future and let them down and sad.

Jiang Rongjia figured it out, he didn't know what to do, not how to reject Xiao Yanchu, but how to neither make Xiao Yanchu sad nor let the two fathers down. As for whether he himself is interested in Xiao Yanchu, it is very clear now.

Suddenly understanding this, Jiang Rongjia couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing him like this, Yan Jingshu smiled slightly, and gently stroked the top of his hair as if she was a child, and then, as if she could guess his thoughts, said in a gentle voice: "Jia'er, Yan Chu can be regarded as your father and I seeing you when we were young." My child, your father and I believe in his character, and we have known his feelings for you for a long time, so we have expected this day..."

Jiang Rongjia suddenly raised his head, and couldn't help but stare slightly eyes.

Yan Jingshu talked about another matter, and said: "Do you still remember the time when the thirteenth prince asked to marry you?"

Jiang Rongjia didn't know why his father suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded.

After that, Yan Jingshu told him all the plans of Xiao Yanchu, Jiang Chenghan and Mu Chongyan after that, and finally said: "...I understood his intentions at that time, but I didn't expect him to bear it until now. You open your mouth."

Jiang Rong lowered his eyes and remained silent, but only he knew the shock in his heart.

Yan Jingshu understood his feelings and didn't need any response from him, so she just continued: "Daddy knows your concerns, but Daddy wants you to know that the so-called fame and wealth are not half as important as you and Kang'er. Don't worry about me and you Doing what you really want to do is the only thing your father and I want to see."

After a long silence, Jiang Rongjia slowly said: "...I understand, Daddy."

... ...

After talking with Yan Jingshu, Jiang Rongjia went back to her room and stayed awake all night. Early the next morning, Jiang Rongjia went to the Hanlin Academy on time as usual. After the emperor came down, Jiang Rongjia went to Zhaohua Hall to meet Xiao Yanchu again.

However, to Yan Jingshu's surprise, there was no news about Xiao Yanchu's appointment of Jiang Rongjia, and nothing seemed to have changed. Although he was puzzled, since he had told Jiang Rongjia to do what he wanted, he didn't ask Jiang Rongjia anything.

But not long after that, rumors spread suddenly in the palace that Xiao Yanchu was poisoned and was bedridden.

When the news came out, there was an uproar all over the capital, and naturally many people were ready to move because of this. It was at this time that, in order to pray for blessings, Master Huizhi of Wanfa Temple in the suburbs of Beijing was actually guided by the Buddha's blessings and pity, and calculated a pair of birth date horoscopes, saying that the emperor's fate is too heavy, so there will be such a catastrophe of life and death. If the person with the horoscope on this birthday is in the book, they can live through this calamity without any worries.

The emperor immediately issued a decree to make people search for the person with this birth date, and no matter whether the person is a man or a woman, a commoner or an honored person, he will be named a queen.

There was an uproar in Beijing again, countless people commented and lamented, and there was a lot of uproar. More than a month passed like this, seeing that the emperor was seriously ill and dying, it was God's pity that people found the only person with a birth date, that is, the son of Jiang Chenghan, the inspector general, and Jiang Rongjia, the editor of the Hanlin Academy. .

The Empress Seal Ceremony was grand and grand, and what made everyone even more delighted was that after the emperor got married, his health really got better a little bit. It's just that the foundation was injured by the poison, and he was far from healthy as before, but this has made everyone feel extremely fortunate. For Jiang Rongjia, who originally had a bright future, but was forced to become the future, he felt sympathy and gratitude at the same time.

In order for Jiang Rongjia not to be criticized at all, Xiao Yanchu worked hard, but fortunately, he finally got what he wanted, and he was not a disappointment.

Five years after the empress's wedding, because the empress had nothing to do, the matter of choosing a concubine was mentioned again. The emperor seemed to have softened after repeated persuasion, but after the beautiful girl entered the palace, the emperor fell ill again. The master of Wanfa Temple said that the emperor and empress are the marriage gifted by the Buddha's kindness, if others are involved, it will hinder the harmony of heaven and greatly disadvantage the emperor.

In this way, the draft had to be suspended, and after all the beautiful women left the palace, the emperor's illness recovered without any medicine. While the courtiers and the public lamented, it was inevitable that the emperor was worried.

However, as Master Huizhi said, since it is a good match from heaven, how can there be any shortcomings, so not long after the draft, there was good news from the palace that the queen was happy.

The emperor was overjoyed, pardoned the world, reduced taxes, opened Enke, and prayed for the queen. Six months later, the queen successfully gave birth to a daughter, who was loved by the emperor so much that she was named the empress dowager on the spot.

For the full moon ceremony of the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress invite their relatives to celebrate in the Zhaohua Hall and share the joy of the family.
