Chapter eight hundred and eighty ninth: cut off the robe and righteousness
Old Mrs. Ye ordered Qiuxiang, the maid inside, and said, "Don't sleep tonight, just serve me. What's wrong with it? Now it's an extraordinary time. People say that Chunqiu is Wenquxing descending to earth. Now Jingchu has the child of our Chunqiu in her belly. Isn't this child the little Wenquxing? Listen?"
Qiu Xiang inside stuck out her tongue at Wang Jingchu, but hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, the old lady should go to bed early."
Old Mrs. Ye walked out happily and nervously, but after walking a few steps, he felt worried. He wanted to come back and give a few more instructions. He shook his head and said to Ye Dong, who had left with him: "Report the letter to the Wang family, Jingchu's father must also report it. Well, find a way to pass it into the cabinet. This is good news and cannot be delayed. It is better for someone to know it. Should the Xie family report it too? Then Mr. Xie has always called me brother, okay, report it too, and just report it to his doorman. Let Zhang Jin and Chen Rong stop wandering around in the capital tomorrow, and ask them to come here to wait for their orders. At that time, many letters will be compiled. Chen Rong's handwriting is good, so let him write it."
Old Mrs. Ye did a lot of business, and Ye Dong didn't dare to neglect it. In the late night, listening to the sound of firecrackers from each family, he went to work anxiously.

In the Renshou Palace in the Forbidden City of Kyoto, there is a joyful atmosphere.
It was New Year's Eve of the year, and Zhu Houzhao arrived very early and accompanied Queen Mother Zhang to watch the night. The concubines in the palace had already arrived. In the huge Renshou Palace, Zhu Houzhao was the only man. He held his hands behind his back and looked very lonely, frowned and sat quietly in the palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang was surrounded by the concubines in the palace and said a few gossips. Seeing Zhu Houzhao in the corner, Empress Dowager Zhang called him and said, "Emperor, why are you listless? Concubine Liu asked you just now."
"What are you asking?" Zhu Houzhao walked to Empress Dowager Zhang, casually found a chair and sat down, and said, "Aren't I here? Is there anything to ask? Why hasn't the hour arrived yet? It's not over the New Year..."
Seeing him like this, Empress Dowager Zhang raised her face and said, "What's wrong with you these days? You've taken guns and medicine. Speaking of which, I heard that the emperor went to do something to do in the Spring and Autumn Period, but His Majesty asked him to go there. Look, this is the New Year, and you won't be at peace. Tomorrow's New Year, the Ai family wanted him to come to pay New Year's greetings."
"Don't mention him." When talking about Ye Chunqiu, Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. After reflecting carefully, he thought that he was sorry for someone else. Isn't there a saying that the king and the ministers are grass, and the ministers regard the king as enemies? But after thinking about it carefully, he did not treat him as a grass, but he suddenly changed his temperament and treated me as an enemy. There is no news yet.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, "I have broken my grace with him. I have cut off my robe and righteousness, and it has nothing to do with it from now on."
When Empress Dowager Zhang heard this, she was stunned and frowned and said, "What are you talking about this? You can't talk nonsense during the Chinese New Year. Haven't you been doing well every day before?"
"My mother, he has nothing to do with me anyway, so don't worry about me. Please wait and see. I won't look at him from now on, ha..." He sneered and continued: "I keep my word. Oh, why is this year getting worse and less fun? There is no meaning at all. I'll go out and get some breath."
Zhu Houzhao stood up and was about to walk out, but at this moment, footsteps came from outside. Xiao Chengzi quickly walked into the hall, and Na Tou fell to the ground and said, "Empress, Empress, someone has just... brought the news..."
"What news?" Empress Dowager Zhang showed a little curious and said, "Let's talk about it, what's the point? Even if you have to bring in the news?"
"News from the Ye family..."
Zhu Houzhao, who was about to go out, suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on Xiao Chengzi involuntarily.
Xiao Chengzi said, "It was said that the young lady of the Ye family was happy and she was coming to the palace to report the good news."
"Is there a happy thing? This is a happy event. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Wouldn't it be even more happy? The Ye family is blessed." Empress Dowager Zhang laughed happily and said, "Emperor, Emperor, have you heard it?"
However, Zhu Houzhao's figure was gone in the hall, and Empress Xia next to her smiled and said, "Your Majesty just said he wanted to go out for a walk."
"Come him, it's about to come to midnight. What's he going out?" Empress Dowager Zhang pulled her face down.
However, many people in the palace went out to search, but they couldn't find Zhu Houzhao no matter how they looked. Liu Jin was so scared that he hurried to Renshou Palace and said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "Empress, Empress... I haven't seen Your Majesty. I didn't see you when Your Majesty went out just now... But when Liu He, who was guarding the door of Renshou Palace, saw a figure and slipped out suddenly, as if he was heading out."
Empress Dowager Zhang's face suddenly turned pale. She suddenly thought of the most terrible result, so she suddenly said, "It must be that she ran away again, chased, chased back, he is crazy. The Ai family has known it for a long time. Liu Jin, you take the people and chase the Ai family to chase and go to the Ye family, and surely where they ran."
Liu Jin hurriedly kowtowed and rolled and crawled.
Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that her hands were trembling, and she cursed in a low voice: "It's all cut off her robe and righteousness. My wife is happy, why should she run away?"
Liu Jin walked out of Renshou Palace and felt that he was in trouble. He hurriedly took dozens of eunuchs to the gate of the harem. When he asked, he really heard the correct words that His Majesty had gone to the outside court, but he said he was going to the cabinet to see. Master Wang was on duty in the cabinet, and he couldn't let it go. The guard dared not stop him, so he let him go.
So Liu Jin hurried to the cabinet with his guards and a group of eunuchs.
An oil lamp was lit in the cabinet, but only Wang Hua and a few clerks were seen.
"I haven't seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gone?" Wang Hua almost got angry when he learned the purpose of his visit!
This is really a ghost. It’s a sin. The emperor ran away on the first time I was on night. His Majesty did not take his master seriously.
Liu Jin looked at Wang Hua very unhappily and said in a stern manner: "Hey... In short, you are here to take care of him. Your Majesty heard that Ling Yuan was happy and then ran away."
When Wang Hua heard this, his mood became complicated. He was really surprised and happy. Jingchu was pregnant... Oh... This was a great joy, but when he thought that Zhu Houzhao was missing, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He hurriedly followed Liu Jin and others to inquire. Only then did he realize that Zhu Houzhao forced the guards out of the palace just now, and there were seven or eight guards following him. (To be continued.)
