Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 251 Destiny will fall and be shaken by the wind and rain

Linyuan's carriage followed Shen's carriage, and Zhao Shun didn't give the order to leave until he saw Shen Qinglan get off the carriage and enter Shen's residence.

Although Linyuan and Shen Mansion are adjacent, there is still a certain distance from the main entrance. When he returned to Linyuan and saw the red lanterns all over the courtyard, Zhao Shun's mood instantly improved a lot.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty and the Queen will personally come to manage the garden on Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the honor of our Linyuan!" Uncle Zhang, the official of Linyuan, said with a smile.

Zhao Shun looked troubled and sighed, "Your Majesty and the Queen are coming to my garden. If anything goes wrong, the government and the public will not know how to evaluate me, the commander in chief of the palace."

"My lord, do you mean that someone is going to take advantage of your wedding day to cause trouble?"

Uncle Zhang was very frightened. From this point of view, it would be better for His Majesty and the Queen not to come.

"I haven't received any news yet, I'm just worried. I have told Murong Bo and Murong Duan that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival wedding, the entire Linyuan must be fully prepared, and all guards will be on standby. Uncle Zhang, Linyuan All servants must also act in an orderly manner and must not be chaotic," Zhao Shun said.

"Yes, I understand."

Zhao Shun walked towards Jiaheju and saw a child picking flowers from a distance, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"stop!"

When the child turned around, he turned out to be Taoist Priest Yucheng.

"Why, your master hasn't left yet?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Master said that he wants to treat the prince to a wedding drink. There are too many acquaintances in Kyoto and it is inconvenient for him to go out." The Taoist priest Yucheng replied.

"There were many guests on my wedding day, so your master is not afraid of meeting acquaintances?" Zhao Shun said.

"Master said that there were many people on that day, so we master and disciple only watched the ceremony in the corner. As for the wedding wine, we can enjoy it in the guest room to avoid trouble." Taoist Priest Yucheng said.

"Your master is very thoughtful."

Just as Zhao Shun was about to leave, Taoist priest Yucheng stopped him, "Your Majesty! Wait a moment! My master asked me to wait for you here. Please go to Ruoyuan Hall to get together. My master ordered the kitchen to cook some good wine and food. , I guess I want to drink with you."

"All right."

Ruoyuan Hall is behind Jiahe Residence and very close to Shen Mansion.

The pavilion is built on the water. At this time, the maple leaves on both sides of the bank are turning red, which is a beautiful time for the scenery.

"Why is my cousin so interested today?" Zhao Shun asked.

Taoist priest Xiuyuan touched his beard and said with a smile: "I just have nothing to do. Come on, come on. Although these dishes are all from your house, this wine is brought by me from Luoping. Even if it is invited by my cousin, You are."

Zhao Shun picked up the wine glass and said, "It's rare for my cousin to treat me to a treat, so my brother will definitely accompany me."

After a while, Taoist priest Xiu Yuan said: "Linchuan, do you know why I haven't returned to Luoping for so long?"

"I heard from Yucheng that my cousin wanted to get a wedding drink from his cousin," Zhao Shun said.

Taoist priest Xiuyuan smiled and touched his beard again, "That's true, but it's not entirely true."

"Oh? What else can I do, cousin?" Zhao Shun said while pouring wine for the two of them.

Taoist priest Xiuyuan took a deep breath, looked at the rising stars in the sky, and said: "I have recently been observing the sky at night and found that the purple stars are faintly black. I am afraid that... the emperor will be in trouble."

"Cousin..."

Zhao Shun became nervous. Could it be that he had guessed it?

"Looking at your expression, you seem to have doubts?" Taoist priest Xiu Yuan asked.

"On the day of my wedding, His Majesty and the Queen promised to come and watch the ceremony in person. On that day, all the nobles and dignitaries were present in the garden, so it is inevitable that some bad people would have evil intentions. To be honest, cousin, I am worried about this matter."

Instantaneous.

"Um."

Taoist priest Xiuyuan picked up the wine glass, had a drink with Zhao Shun, picked up a piece of duck meat, and put it into his mouth.

"Cousin, I know you are good at observing the sky. In your opinion, can this crisis be resolved?" Zhao Shun asked.

Taoist priest Xiuyuan lowered his eyes, put his hands on his knees, and shook his head.

Zhao Shun was shocked, "This..."

"Linchuan, this is your Majesty's destiny... If something happens to the official family because of attending your wedding banquet, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the blame, and you won't be able to explain it to the civil and military officials. After all, you are the emperor's personal envoy to protect His Majesty.

, this is your duty." Taoist Master Xiu Yuan said.

Zhao Shun looked at the wine glass in his hand and drank the wine silently, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

"Cousin, when today is my uncle, how can I just watch something happen to him and only think about protecting myself?"

"This secret must not be leaked, but there is still room for change in this matter." Taoist Master Xiu Yuan said.

"How to change the situation?" Zhao Shun asked hurriedly.

"That is, try your best to save the life of Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty the Queen is from the Jiang family and is your biological aunt. When Your Majesty dies, the Queen will be the Queen Mother. You, King Bing, have done a good job in protecting you, and you will be able to do so when the time comes.

It is not difficult to rise to prominence, even to become a regent. Also, you must allow yourself to get injured, preferably not able to get up for several months." Taoist priest Xiu Yuan said.

"What should I do, my uncle!? He is the True Dragon Emperor, so there is no chance for his life to change? Otherwise... I should just pretend to be sick and postpone the wedding." Zhao Shun asked again.

"I heard that Your Majesty has been suffering from frequent headaches recently, and the headaches are unbearable," Taoist Master Xiu Yuan said.

"How did my cousin know? Could it be that... your coming to Beijing was specially summoned by His Majesty, asking you to come and diagnose His Majesty's pulse?"

Only then did Zhao Shun know why his cousin, who had been hiding in Luoping City for a long time, suddenly came to Beijing.

Taoist priest Xiuyuan nodded, "Yes, I have concluded that your Majesty is about to die soon."

"How could it be? Uncle Huang is in his prime!"

"This is not destiny, it is man-made."

"You mean... there is someone around His Majesty who has evil intentions and uses poison on Your Majesty?"

At this time, Taoist priest Yucheng came over, looked at his master, and said pitifully: "Master, I'm hungry too."

Taoist priest Xiuyuan gave him half of the chicken on the table and said, "Let's go and eat. The prince and I still have something to discuss."

"Cousin, can you tell His Majesty the truth about the poisoning?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Of course, His Majesty was poisoned not just for one day or two, but for at least four years. Now it is difficult for gods to save him..."

Taoist priest Xiu Yuan sighed. Today, the emperor is benevolent and loves the people, but now he is being plotted by the people around him.

"If that's the case...then why didn't His Majesty blame him?" Zhao Shun was puzzled.

"Either this person is very important in His Majesty's heart, or His Majesty knows that his time is limited and doesn't want to cause more trouble." Taoist priest Xiu Yuan guessed.

Zhao Shun continued to drink wine, his brows tightly knitted together, his face full of sadness.

"Linchuan, it is a foregone conclusion that His Majesty is about to die. Why not take advantage of this wedding with the Shen family's little girl to earn a role as a guardian? The Queen trusts you and will definitely entrust you with important tasks. The Crown Prince's incompetence will inevitably cause problems.

The battle for the throne. The Crown Prince has been watching with eager eyes. If he becomes the regent, the consequences will be disastrous." Taoist priest Xiu Yuan said.

Zhao Shun remained silent, pouring one drink after another into his mouth.

"Linchuan, think about it carefully."
