Chapter 221: Han Haili reports the news
"You were tortured, so you didn't say anything else?" Xia Bohou was shocked by the news, and he looked at Han Haili suspiciously.
"Master Hou thinks, if I say something else, can I still stand here?" Han Haili said, "My master is the chief eunuch, so what, in the eyes of His Majesty, they are all slaves, is it possible that these things I have done in private are known to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can still tolerate me?"
"Father-in-law Han is lucky. Xia Bohou changed his tone and said, "Actually, we all care about Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, as the Supreme of the Ninth Five, is used to being arrogant, so he is very sensitive to the care of others, and thinks that others want to harm him." ”
Han Haili already regarded him as a dead man in his heart, and what he had to do now was to stimulate them until they did irreparably wrong things.
"What kind of illness did Your Majesty have before?" Xia Bohou asked, "What did Your Majesty think about the crown prince?"
"Who is the crown prince?" Could it be that the Hou Ye really can't understand?" Han Haili asked.
"Since the birth of the Eighth Prince, isn't this series of actions enough for the Hou Ye to make a decision?"
Xia Bohou's face became ugly, "I knew that Your Majesty wanted to set up that little rabbit cub." “
"Your Majesty deliberately hesitated in the second prince and the seventh prince, all in order to pave the way for the eighth prince. Han Haili said, "Master Hou has to make plans early." ”
"Your Majesty would be wrong if you think that we would willingly make the Eighth Prince the crown prince. Xia Bohou said gloomily.
Xia Bohou did not go back to the house, but went directly to his brother's house Guangping Hou's mansion, but when he arrived at the study, he didn't see anyone, and the little guy said that Hou Ye had just been called by his wife, "Go and call Hou Ye quickly, saying that I have something important to discuss." ”
Mrs. Guangping Hou also has something important to discuss with Hou Ye, "If I hadn't seen their faces change and asked the girl to ask, I would never have known that there were such rumors." "What she said is that now everyone is spreading that His Majesty was angry with the queen when he fell ill.
"It's not a big deal, but none of the ladies who had been friends in the past heard this rumor to tell me, and it was obvious that they were all serious. Mrs. said, "Niangniang's reputation has always been very good, and once this rumor comes out, it is a great harm to Niangniang." ”
"Then let people say that it was the concubine who harmed His Majesty who fell ill, and now he is beating up and saying that it was the queen who harmed him. Guangping Hou said, "Anyway, the reputation of the noble concubine has already spread, and you say this, it is the noble concubine who wants her son to be the crown prince and deliberately wants to ruin the reputation of the queen." ”
"It's easy for me to say that, and I want them to believe it. Madame said angrily.
Guangping Hou heard the wrong voice, "Why don't they believe it?"
"You think, when His Majesty was sick, our queen was closed in the Ditai Palace, and the concubine waited in the Tianqing Palace every day with her stomach. "If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have believed it." ”
"It's also to catch up with the inch, the seventh prince was born at that time, but the little beauty died, and outsiders said that it was the mother who went to the mother to keep the son, and was angry with Your Majesty. ”
Another member of Concubine Song's family came out to talk nonsense, saying that Concubine Song was tortured by the queen and her life was worse than death, and she couldn't survive in the palace. I don't believe it, without Concubine Song's mother's nod, that person would dare to come out and talk nonsense. Madame said, "Your Majesty is now putting the five princes under the name of Concubine Song to raise them, and outsiders say that Your Majesty is making up for Concubine Song." ”
"That queen also has seven princes, and it is also Your Majesty's compensation. Guangping Hou said.
"Your Majesty is not half as hot as the Eighth Prince. Madame said, "In the harem, His Majesty is only like this to the four princes, and he is cold. ”
"Why is Your Majesty cold to the Fourth Prince, doesn't the Hou Ye know?"
Guangping Hou twisted his eyebrows, and then the girl cautiously shouted through the door, "Madam, Xia Bohou is here, waiting for Hou Ye in the study, saying that there is something important to discuss." "
Madame raised her voice and said yes.
"This is put in advance, you go to the palace tomorrow to see Niangniang, and ask Niangniang if she knows about this?"
"Concubine Song doesn't have the guts. Guangping Hou said, "At most, she followed behind to fish in troubled waters." “
"Who else could it be?" said the lady, "Does the Hou Ye think that if the concubine didn't fight back before, she never fought back?"
"Master Hou wait, the concubine's counterattack is still to come. The lady said, "There is no difference between having children and not having children, she used to be indisputable, but now she can't argue." ”
Guangping Hou went to the study worriedly, Xia Bohou stood up to greet him, "Big brother asked me to wait, I have 100,000 urgent things here." ”
"What's the matter?" said the Marquis of Guangping, "you are so old, you can't learn to be calmer." “
"Big brother, do you know who I saw today?" Xia Bohou said, "Han Haili went to that place again, and as soon as I heard the letter, I hurried over and blocked it." ”
"He's out?" asked the Marquis of Guangping. "Did he say he was locked up for what reason?"
Han Haili was arrested at the beginning, and they didn't know it yet, but half a month later, even if it was a piece of wood, they couldn't guess it right, but they couldn't ask anyone to ask, they only knew that they were invited away by the Zhen Division.
Worried that Han Haili would say something that should not be said, the Marquis of Guangping also made several sets of face saint words, but no, His Majesty did not summon them.
"Your Majesty is not simply sick, but poisoned. Xia Bohou whispered, "So the people in the Tianqing Palace were all pulled over by the Zhen Division to investigate." ”
"Who poisoned it?" asked the Marquis of Guangping, he quickly thought of the recent changes in the palace, too noble?"
Xia Bohou nodded.
"But Your Majesty released the two men only after he had recovered from his illness. The Marquis of Guangping said, "What kind of ban is it to be locked up in his son's mansion?"
"Your Majesty's mind is really a bit difficult to fathom. "If it is said that he was poisoned by a nobleman, then how can His Majesty be so lenient to the children of a nobleman.
"Are you sure he didn't summon us?" asked the Marquis of Guangping.
"If you really say it, can he still come out?" Xia Bohou said, "I think he can still go out of the palace to do errands, it should be fine." “
"The noble man was deeply favored by the emperor back then, whether it was the court or the harem, it was all overturned, and it was not impossible to say that it was really her poison. Guangping Hou said, "Did Han Haili say anything else useful?"
"That's it. Xia Bohou thought about it and still had some hatred, "He said that His Majesty didn't want to decide the crown prince between the second prince and the seventh prince at all, and His Majesty really wanted to establish only the eighth prince." ”
"What is there in our Jiang family that can't stand Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to treat us like this, we and the concubine have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, if we really let her son become the prince, will there be a way for us to live?"
The Marquis of Guangping was silent for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again, "Although you and I had such conjectures before, but Your Majesty's actions seem to be true, and we can't judge the truth, but now that we know, we can also think of ways to deal with it in the future." ”
"At that time, the first emperor could not set up the three kings as the crown prince at will, and His Majesty's temperament was far less ruthless than that of the first emperor, so naturally he could not be satisfied. ”
"The eighth prince wants to be the crown prince, and it depends on whether he has that life. ”
The news from Xia Bohou made Guangping Hou think of a way to solve the rumors of the queen, he asked people to pass on, who can be so angry that he has been bedridden for so many days, His Majesty will not be angry at all, nor is he sick, but he has been poisoned.
Worries about His Majesty's body overshadowed other gossip, and everyone was speculating about who did His Majesty's poisoning. said that everyone has it, and some people even guessed that the concubine had the goods in her stomach, wanting to poison Your Majesty, and then turn Your Majesty into a puppet and arch her own children to the throne.
"There are rumors outside, Your Majesty really doesn't care?" Qin Yunyi scooped the incense ash with a silver spoon and asked Qi Zongwen, who was lying on the side and teasing the Eighth Emperor, "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." ”
"It's all fake, so why bother. Qi Zongwen smiled, "Isn't that the virtuous concubine and the queen also said that they want to poison me and set up their son on the throne, and they still have the support of the courtiers, aren't they all more credible than you, they have never come to confess their mistakes to me, you are angry." ”
"I was angry. Qin Yunyi said, "How can I say that I want to harm Your Majesty?"
"In this world, Your Majesty is the closest person to me, and I will not hurt Your Majesty for anyone. Qin Yunyi said seriously.
Qi Zongwen patted the couch beside him and asked her to sit over, he put his hand around her shoulders and let her lean towards herself, on one side was her beloved person, and on the other hand was her beloved son babbling, Qi Zongwen sighed, "There is nothing unsatisfying in my life." ”
