Chapter 554: Retribution
Sensing Concubine Zheng's eager and worried gaze, Empress Dowager Xu glanced at the swaddling clothes in her arms, and then there was a slight smile in her eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of the people who know you best are enemies, and that's true.
Concubine Zheng has been fighting with Empress Dowager Xu for many years, and she does not know the temperament of Empress Dowager Xu.
Although Empress Dowager Xu only smiled lightly, Concubine Zheng always felt that there was some kind of cruelty in Empress Dowager Xu's eyes.
And that cruelty, if not against her, then against whom?
Thinking of this, Concubine Zheng's heart was shocked.
Fearing that the Empress Dowager Xu would be really mad enough to do something to her child who had just been born for a day, Concubine Zheng looked at the Empress Dowager Xu with sharp eyes, "The Empress Dowager, although the palace has only given birth to a child, but her body is fine, can you ask the Empress Dowager to return the child to me? After all, this is the heir of the first emperor, and the Empress Dowager will not let our mother and daughter be separated, right?"
Worried that her words were not weighty, Concubine Zheng deliberately carried the emperor out.
She thought that Empress Dowager Xu would be angry because of her words, but to her surprise, Empress Dowager Xu not only did not get angry, but also looked up at her.
There was so much in that look, there was pity, there was pleasure, and so on.
Concubine Zheng couldn't fully interpret the meaning in Empress Dowager Xu's eyes for a while, but what she wanted to do most at this time was to hold the child into her hands, so that even if she was suspicious in her heart, she couldn't care about investigating it deeply.
As long as you can get the child back, leave the rest for later.
Concubine Zheng thought so.
Seeing this, the smile on Empress Dowager Xu's lips deepened, she didn't care about Concubine Zheng's provocation, but really handed the child that Concubine Zheng had worked so hard to give birth to into her hands as Concubine Zheng hoped.
"Of course the mourning family will not do this kind of thing to snatch people's heirs, since Concubine Zheng wants to see the child, then, let's take a good look. After Empress Dowager Xu finished speaking, she held the first few steps in her hand and carefully put the child in her hand into Concubine Xu's hand.
Take a good look.
Concubine Xu took the child over.
For some reason, she was extremely eager to see her child, but after listening to Empress Dowager Xu's words, she had obviously taken the child into her hands, and she didn't subconsciously look into her arms for a while.
It's like......
I am afraid of anything in general.
But Empress Dowager Xu smiled lightly at this time and said: "Concubine Zheng, don't you want to see the child, now the child has been handed over to you, this is the youngest princess left by the emperor, the mourning family has already discussed with the emperor, just wait for this little princess to be full of moon, and immediately crown her as the eldest princess, do this, Concubine Zheng is still satisfied?"
If it is ordinary, of course Concubine Zheng is satisfied.
In this court, even if it is a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, it is not necessarily noble.
It is not for nothing that the princes and princesses whose biological mothers are not favored and who are not valued by the emperor themselves live worse than ordinary palace people in the palace.
Although the daughters of the Son of Heaven are all princesses, how many unfavored princesses have not been able to get a title until they die.
She had only given birth to a child for a day, but Empress Dowager Xu said that she was only waiting for the full moon to be crowned the eldest princess......
How can Concubine Zheng be at ease?
She fought with the Empress Dowager Xu for decades, and Concubine Zheng did not hesitate, if it were not for the Great Zhou Dynasty abolishing the funeral system of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Xu would definitely force her to be martyred for the emperor.
But now, Empress Dowager Xu treats her children so kindly......
Thinking of this kind of abnormality, Concubine Zheng's hand holding the child couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Then, she took a deep breath and, almost in a resolute gesture, looked down at the infant child.
The big red swaddling clothes wrapped the little child tightly, and the newborn child's face was red, and it was a little wrinkled, and it didn't look beautiful, but Concubine Zheng had been obsessed with this child for a long time, and she only felt that this was the most beautiful child in the world.
But......
Doubts flashed in her eyes.
She didn't think that Empress Dowager Xu would have the heart to joke with her, since Empress Dowager Xu made such a gesture, she would never be deliberately playing tricks on her.
I looked at it carefully several times, and I didn't find anything wrong with the little princess's face.
With a sudden burst of heart, Concubine Zheng stretched out her slightly trembling hand to untie the swaddling clothes.
And Empress Dowager Xu on the side, looking at Concubine Zheng's actions, had a cruel pleasure in her eyes.
Sure enough, in just a few breaths, Concubine Zheng's face was as white as paper, and her eyes were full of grief.
The big red swaddling clothes were scattered, and the red body of the little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes also completely fell into the eyes of Concubine Zheng.
She stared at the baby's left leg and right hand, and for a moment, she wanted to pass out.
This is the height of summer, although there is no swaddling cover, the little baby will not be frozen, looking at the sight of Concubine Zheng, the baby's left leg is obviously much smaller and shorter than the right leg, and the two legs are put together, which immediately becomes a very sharp contrast.
Not only that, but the little princess born by Concubine Zheng also has an extra finger on her right hand.
The royal princess, but not only has her left leg deformed, but her right hand also has an extra finger!
Concubine Zheng couldn't accept this blow no matter how she could, her eyes were glazed, and she muttered in her mouth, "No, you lied to me, this is not my child, this is not my child......"
However, no matter how to refute it, Concubine Zheng was very clear in her heart.
This is her child.
She remembered the diagnosis of the previous Xinglin national hand.
The child in her womb was affected by Jindan, and even if there was no stillbirth after term, there was a high probability that it would be born different from a normal child......
Is that the difference, is that what it is now?
Concubine Zheng's heart tightened, and she was so painful that she could barely breathe.
From the day she took the golden pill, she knew very well that doing so would have bad consequences for the child in her womb, and the national player's diagnosis later confirmed her.
Therefore, in the previous conversation with King Ning, she would be so strict that King Ning should respond, if she ascends to the throne one day in the future, no matter what kind of child she gave birth to, King Ning will treat this younger brother or sister well for the rest of her life.
It's just that she didn't expect it to be such a bad result.
Is this her retribution for harming people with Jindan?
Concubine Zheng was even heartbroken at this moment.
However, if there is retribution in this world, why doesn't God retribution go directly to her head, but torture her children?
At this time, Concubine Zheng suddenly understood what Empress Dowager Xu's previous actions meant.
Thinking of what Empress Dowager Xu said that when the child was full of moon, the new emperor would make her the eldest princess, and Concubine Zheng was even more hateful in her heart.
She has been fighting with Empress Dowager Xu for decades, and she has never hated it so much as she does now!
