Chapter 480: Abandoned woman from the cold kiln conquers Prince Zhengtai 38
Seeking wealth and wealth, Shu Ange knew that selling illicit salt was playing with fire, but he still did it without hesitation.
Her wealth has been accumulating at an exaggerated speed, and at the same time, her pseudonym and identity when she is walking outside are slowly spreading among the Salt Gang.
Every time Shu Ange communicates with people in the Salt Gang, he will be extra cautious and use the unique means of communication in the Salt Gang so as not to reveal his faults.
After praying for blessings in the Ci'en Temple for three days, His Royal Highness returned to the palace with the consecrated blessing and longevity instruments.
However, the body of the saint and the queen is still getting weaker day by day. At the beginning of June, His Majesty was completely unable to go to court.
For more than a month, His Royal Highness has been busy with medical affairs, and has to supervise the government with the assistance of the minister. It has been really hard, and there is almost no time to leave the palace.
Shu Ange was obedient, and did not rush to find Xue Pinggui to settle accounts, and even specially erased the news that she was living in the Jin Wangfu.
Although he didn't go looking for the two of them, Shu Ange also heard the rumors that Xue Pinggui and Princess Daizhan were in conflict.
There is no impermeable wall in the world. Xue Pinggui thought that everything was under his control. He deliberately concealed his identity when he wanted to walk in brocade clothes at night.
Even though Princess Daizhan couldn't let go of Xue Pinggui for a while, the thorn was still planted in their hearts.
Seeing that the situation of Chaoli Chaowai became more and more tense, the Fifth Highness was busy with his feet not touching the ground every day, and his body was weakened.
Shu Ange disregarded the objection of the Fifth Highness and forcibly asked to enter the palace to assist him in handling all affairs.
After a few days of stalemate between the two, the Fifth Highness finally agreed that Shu Ange would enter the palace and temporarily serve as the head of the East Palace, in charge of deeds, scriptures, publicity, performances, teaching, gifts, pen and paper, etc.
Although he bears the title of palm book, the first thing Shu Ange does when he enters the palace is to make medicinal meals to regulate his body for the Fifth Palace.
Now that both the inside and the outside need His Royal Highness to come forward, he is not an iron man, how can he endure this trial.
Whenever he saw the thin cheeks and haggard look of His Highness Fifth, Shu Ange couldn't help pantothenic acid in his heart.
A good-looking young man, being tossed into a ghost by these messy things.
If he really worked hard for the family and country, Shu Ange also recognized it for His Royal Highness.
But most of the time, he was clearly fighting the rules and wrangling with the officials of the Sixth Department.
A group of old officials, when the saint was critically ill, did not want to support the young master, but instead bullied His Royal Highness the young prince, delaying everything as long as possible.
There are also officials who sincerely support His Royal Highness, but their arms can't twist their thighs, so they still cannot change the situation that His Highness is slack.
Shu Ange specially entrusted someone to bring a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion, asking Prime Minister Wang to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince during the storm.
Although Prime Minister Wang did not reply to Shu Ange's letter as usual, in the courtroom, he finally changed his previous ambiguous attitude and supported the Fifth Highness with a clear-cut stand.
The days in the palace were startling every step of the way, with countless spears and arrows.
If Shu Ange was not familiar with the ghost tricks in the palace, and possessed strong martial arts and flexibility, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost within three days of entering the palace.
The Empress has been seriously ill. Shu Ange accompanied the Fifth Highness to visit the Qingning Palace, but the Empress was not in good spirits, so she only talked to the Fifth Highness for a while, and did not pass on Shu Ange.
On the fifth day after entering the palace, Shu Ange was in the study room of the East Palace, sorting out the memorial for His Royal Highness, when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Shu Ange raised his head, the Fifth Highness wore court clothes with red eyes, staggered two steps and rushed in front of her, grabbing her hand and hurried towards the door.
"Siniang, the queen mother wants to see you, hurry up and follow me."
His voice was choked up, his face was terrified, and even Chengyu didn't have the heart to wait. He dragged Shu Ange all the way to the Qingning Palace, completely ignoring how disrespectful this move would be.
The maids of the palace, together with the patrolling guards, stared at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ran wild with a woman who looked like a female official.
The two ran all the way to Qingning Palace. Shu Ange was in good condition. His Highness was flushed, with tears in his eyes. He unconsciously grabbed Shu Ange's hand.
Inside the Qingning Palace, the maid and the waitress looked frightened, and when she saw His Royal Highness, she finally felt a little peace in her heart.
His Royal Highness held Shu Ange's hand tightly all the way, passed through the heavy curtains, and took her to the dorm where the Queen's concubine was recuperating.
The air was filled with the smell of bitter medicine that could not be dissolved. Seeing the rush of the Fifth Palace, several of the imperial physicians fell to the ground with a plop.
Shu Ange's heart sank fiercely, and he understood in an instant why the Empress suddenly summoned her.
The Empress leaned weakly on the throw pillow, her whole body was thin and out of shape, except for a pair of scary eyes, and her exposed arms were as thin as firewood.
The last time Shu Ange accompanied the Fifth Prince to the Qingning Palace, he had never seen the real face of the Empress through a thick curtain.
Seeing her today, she felt infinite sadness in her heart. The matter that she was made difficult for the Queen's concubine's birthday last year was also played down by her infinitely.
"Cough, cough, Hong Luo, you all go down first."
After coughing for a while, the empress's cheeks seemed to be covered with rouge, red and translucent, but with an ominous feeling.
Shu Ange didn't need to feel the pulse to see that the queen was returning to light, which also meant that the queen's concubine was about to pass away.
She glanced at His Highness Fifth, his fingers were shaking all the time, and his eyes were a little blank.
The court ladies and eunuchs filed out, and even the imperial doctor knelt out.
The Empress beckoned to the Fifth Highness, and then glanced at Shu Ange: "Cough, you two come over here."
A simple sentence, after she finished speaking, she took a deep breath.
His Highness the fifth went to the bed with red eyes, knelt on one knee on the ground, and held the Empress's hand: "Mother, you will get well soon, my son must be a good prince to benefit the people and make your face glow."
The Empress looked lovingly at the Fifth Highness, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and touched his cheek: "Son, don't worry about this country. Cough, as long as you are safe and happy."
When a person is about to die, his words are also good. When he reaches the end of his life, the past scene flashes in the Queen's mind like a fleeting sight.
She thought of the scene when she and His Majesty got married, and also thought of the wrinkled appearance of the Fifth Highness when she was just born.
All kinds of scenes were intertwined, and the Empress suddenly let go. How could this Tang Jiangshan be able to match her joy.
"Wang Siniang, stretch out your hand."
The Queen's voice became weaker, and Shu Ange didn't dare to be negligent at all, and hurriedly stretched out his hand.
The Fifth Highness held back tears and looked sadly at the queen mother lying on the bed.
The Empress put Shu Ange's hand on the Fifth Prince's hand with difficulty, and panted: "Take care of Yan'er, be sure, take good care of..."
