131: The regent kills
The newcomer has finished the visit, because there are many guests today, the banquet is grand, so it is very lively, Lou Yueqing originally didn't want to deal with those officials and daughters, so she came here to hide from Qingjing, but she didn't expect that not long after she came up, the Empress Dowager Qin came up.
She came up to find her on purpose, but after coming up, she kept saying nothing quietly after saying hello, and the maid Zhao'er behind her was holding the half-year-old little emperor in her arms.
She was inexplicable, and Lou Yueqing didn't bother to speak, so the scene was very weird.
It's just that Lou Yueqing stood for a while, but she didn't see the Empress Dowager Qin make a sound, so she didn't want to stay longer, so she bowed and retired.
Empress Dowager Qin stopped her by saying something: "It's okay for the princess to go down, so it's better to talk to the mourning family here!"
Lou Yueqing looked at her with some puzzlement.
Empress Dowager Qin raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
Lou Yueqing shook her head and smiled lightly: "That's not it, I just don't know what the Queen Mother wants to say?"
Empress Dowager Qin smiled gently: "The mourning family is a little curious, the princess and the regent have been married for a year, I don't know when I will be able to give birth to a younger brother or sister for Ye'er?"
Lou Yueqing was stunned.
Why did Empress Dowager Qin suddenly care about her?
But after thinking about it, it seems that she and Rong Zhi are still a few days away from getting married and will be a year old, but her stomach has not moved, she and Rong Zhi are both high-profile people, and the entire Chu State subjects are watching them, but the two have been married for so long, and Rong Zhi is only one woman, in the eyes of outsiders, she is very favored, but she has not been pregnant for a long time, and there seem to be a lot of remarks speculating that she is unable to have children.
Her poor health is a well-known thing, since a few months ago, there have been various speculations that she is unable to have children, speculating whether Rong Zhi will marry again, after all, in their opinion, it is useless for a woman to not have children, and it is a great sin to have no queen, but things have not stopped since they got married, so these remarks are gone, she has no heart to let people inquire, and the people below will not take such a trivial matter.
However, many people are looking forward to it, hoping that she will lose Rong Zhi's favor because she can't have children, after all, she has been so favored and infatuated by Rong Zhi, as well as this supreme status, I don't know how many people's eyes are red.
It's just that when Empress Dowager Qin mentioned this, she was afraid that she had other thoughts, and her thoughts, it was not difficult to guess, after thinking about it, Lou Yueqing smiled faintly and said: "Empress Dowager Lao cares, after all, this kind of thing is determined by heaven, when it should be, and besides, the concubines and the prince are not in a hurry!"
She knew when she thought about it that Empress Dowager Qin didn't want her and Rong Zhi to have children.
Empress Dowager Qin smiled clearly, with a smile on her face, she turned her head to look at the little emperor held by Zhao'er behind her, and sighed slightly: "The mourning family just thinks that the emperor is too lonely, the first emperor has no other heirs, and there are few children of the same age as the emperor in the royal family, if there is a younger brother or sister who grows up together, it is a good thing!"
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything.
Even if she has children, she will not let her children grow up with the little emperor.
Empress Dowager Qin didn't know what she wanted to do, and then, after chatting with her for a while, she was talking about some inexplicable things, such as asking her about Mrs. Ning Guo's physical condition, asking about her body, and asking about some things that seemed to ordinary people to be just gossip between concubines, but between them, it was very abnormal......
Between her and the Empress Dowager Qin, it has long been impossible to be calm, and the Empress Dowager Qin has already hated her, which one is singing today?
Sure enough, as she expected, something really happened.
There was a sudden commotion in Xining Palace, it seemed that something had happened, Lou Yueqing heard the movement and was about to let Mo leave to take a look, however, before Mo Li went, a servant girl came to report: "Queen Mother Qi, Princess Regent, something happened in the back, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent gave Miss Lan from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion...... Kill!"
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing's face changed, and the Empress Dowager Qin also squinted, and the two immediately left the pavilion attic and let the maidservant lead the way.
Soon, after turning a few courtyards, I arrived at the place of the incident, which is a more elegant courtyard of Xining Palace, located next to the lotus pond, adjacent to the garden of the palace, at this time, there were many people gathered outside the courtyard, and the door of the courtyard had been blocked by the guards.
As soon as Lou Yueqing approached, she heard all kinds of lowly discussions.
Hearing the content of those discussions, her eyes sank slightly.
Regent...... Private ...... The princess has no children...... Side Concubine......
She didn't hear all the chatter, but she heard them all.
As soon as she and the Empress Dowager Qin arrived, everyone immediately shut up, everyone looked at Lou Yueqing with different faces, Lou Yueqing and the Empress Dowager Qin turned a blind eye and walked straight to the door, and the guards at the door saw them and immediately retreated and let them in.
Walked into the door, walked through the courtyard, and stepped into the house, at this time, there were still many people in the house, people from Xining Wangfu, as well as Lou Yichen and his wife, people from the Lan family, and Xiangwang and his wife, all of whom were related people and high-ranking people.
And on the ground, there was a naked female corpse, the female corpse's eyes were wide, her face was frightened, and she seemed to be dead.
As soon as they arrived, the people inside saluted one after another, however, looking at Lou Yueqing's eyes, they were all very weird.
Lou Yueqing looked at the corpse on the ground and frowned.
Empress Dowager Qin looked surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
Lying on the ground is Lan Qianqian, the daughter of the Lan family of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion.
Everyone had different faces, and they couldn't answer, and even the Marquis Zhongyong and Mrs. Zhongyong were speechless with sad faces.
At this time, Ming Shu suddenly came out of it, stood next to Lou Yueqing and whispered: "Princess, the prince is inside!"
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she immediately walked into the inner room.
Sure enough, Rong Zhi was sitting on the couch in the inner room, his face was not very good, he was sitting there with his eyes closed and pranayama, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his thin lips were pursed, and the green tendons between his foreheads were bursting out.
And in the air in the inner room, there is still a faint smell left, and you can't smell it at all if you don't pay attention, Lou Yueqing knows a little about medical skills, so she can naturally smell it, and she can also tell that this is the smell of aphrodisiac incense, and she can't help but be surprised.
She asked, "What's going on?"
Mingshu's face was not very good, obviously angry, and was about to say something, Rong Zhi had already opened his eyes at this time, and when he saw her, he seemed to be relieved.
Lou Yueqing immediately stepped forward: "Rong Zhi, how are you?"
He said lightly: "It's okay to be alone!"
Although it's fine, his face is also a little bad, obviously he used internal force just now.
Lou Yueqing frowned: "But you ......"
He twisted his eyebrows and interrupted her: "Let's go home first!"
After speaking, he stood up in one go, pulled her and walked out.
Lou Yueqing had no choice but to follow him out.
When the people outside saw him, they immediately lowered their heads, obviously afraid of him.
As soon as Rong Zhi walked outside, looked at those people, and saw the corpses on the ground, his eyes were extremely disgusted, Lou Yichen immediately came over and asked him, "Is Your Highness okay?"
Rong Zhi said lightly: "It's okay!"
Lou Yichen was relieved.
At this time, Empress Dowager Qin walked up to them, twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Regent, what the hell is going on......?"
Rong Zhi interrupted her in a cold voice: "Lone also wants to know, what's going on?"
Empress Dowager Qin was stunned.
Rong Zhi obviously didn't want to talk to her, his sharp eagle eyes swept over everyone, and he said lightly: "You'd better give Gu a satisfactory explanation!"
After speaking, he pulled Lou Yueqing and strode away.
Everyone was shocked.
How do you explain this......
Rong Zhi pulled Lou Yueqing, ignored everyone, and left the Xining Palace, after walking out of the Xining Palace, he took Lou Yueqing and rode back to the palace.
After returning home, Lou Yueqing learned that Rong Zhi had been hit by a heavy aphrodisiac incense, and he had been suppressing it with internal force.
