Chapter 730: The Truth
It was the only woman he had ever loved...... Even if he was later favored by Concubine Ruhui, he could never replace Concubine Mei's position as a lover in his heart.
However...... But it was his own hands......
Thinking of the fate of Concubine Mei and the fate of the emperor's eldest son Xiao Yan, the emperor couldn't help but cinch the brocade quilt covering his legs, a face, and his facial features seemed to be twisted together because of the emotions in his heart.
Just when the emperor's thoughts were flying, the chief chamberlain who was sitting on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief from his grief, supported the ground with his hands, and stood up.
The son has been dead for many years, and in the past few years, he has not suffered a day without suffering, this grief has long been numb, and the reason why he lost his temper just now is just because the topic appeared too abruptly, and it was difficult to control the excitement in his heart for a while.
At this moment, the chief attendant raised his sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the emperor with a face full of shame, "The minion is out of control of his emotions and collides with His Majesty, the minion should die." "When you speak, you have to kowtow and confess your sins.
The emperor hurriedly stopped him and said: "Don't I even understand you for this, and I will waste your whole life serving me! Hurry up, your son's matter was originally just an accident, but now that I know the truth, you can rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation to prevent your son from dying in vain." ”
When the chief attendant heard this, he was originally just kneeling for example, but at this moment, he was heartfelt and full of excitement, and said: "The old slave thanked His Majesty for his grace for Xiao Xu, it's just ...... In the end, that is the queen, Xiao Xu's life is cheap, what kind of justice is not fair, the old slave ......"
The emperor said a word to block it, "I said that if I want to give him justice, I must give him justice, you come quickly, old arms and legs, the ground in the palace is not as good as in the palace, although there is a dragon on the ground, in the end, the cold and humidity are heavy, and I will have a leg pain when I turn around, and no one will make me rock sugar pear tea to drink." ”
The emperor's ninety-five honor, when he said this, the chief chamberlain did not dare to disobey, wiped the tears from the corners of his cheeks and eyes, kowtowed three more times, no longer reluctantly, held on to one side of the stool and table, supported and stood up, "Your Majesty just said, Concubine Tong also mentioned ......"
Very clever to put the topic aside.
What can keep the emperor awake all night must not be the queen's killing of his son, but the matter of Concubine Mei, how can he pull his son's problems and imprison the emperor's full of topics and emotions.
The word Concubine Mei was about to come out, but the chief waiter was stunned and suddenly stopped.
Over the years, Concubine Mei and the emperor's eldest son, Xiao Yan, have always been taboo in the palace, and no one dared to mention them for many years.
Even if this is the case, when the word Concubine Mei is mentioned, the chief attendant can't help but feel his heart move, and his tongue is knotted.
The emperor knew that he didn't dare to mention those two words, so he sighed and glared at him, "As long as you are careful, I have mentioned it, why don't you dare." ”
The chief chamberlain sorted out his mood more and more properly, "Concubine Mei's matter, but there is something else?"
The emperor sighed and said: "When the queen took advantage of my absence, she put a rebellious hat on Concubine Mei, and tortured her to force her to confess, I know this, but Concubine Tong told me today that at that time, Concubine Mei was less than two months pregnant, and the queen was afraid that Concubine Mei would give birth to a prince and take away her position, so she did this. ”
When the chief waiter heard this, he was shocked, "Concubine Mei is pregnant?"
The emperor smiled bitterly, full of remorse, "I also only found out just now, Concubine Tong said that the reason why Concubine Mei has been hiding and refusing to say it is because she is afraid that the queen will not be able to tolerate it, thinking that when the month is older and the child is stable, it is not too late to say it, but it is still ......."
"What happened back then, I always knew that I was young and impulsive, and after thinking about it, there were too many strange things about that incident...... "As he spoke, the emperor's tone was full of sadness, "But what's the use of regretting, Concubine Mei and Xiao Yan, even Shandong Rizhao, and the Mei family, have all been erased in this world because of my stubbornness that I would rather kill by mistake and not let go." ”
Listening to the emperor's tone, the head of the chamberlain's eyes moved slightly, tilted his head slightly, and said in a thoughtful and speculative tone, "But what did Concubine Tong Niangniang say?"
The emperor sighed, and the sorrow on his face was like an overwhelming cloud, and under the cloud, there was a storm that was about to break out.
Concubine Tong said that before the queen's trouble, Concubine Mei found her and told her that she accidentally discovered a secret of the queen, and the queen seemed to know, and she was afraid that the queen would take advantage of my absence to use the power of the middle palace. ”
The chief chamberlain frowned, and when the emperor spoke, the chief chamberlain looked at the emperor's heartbroken look, and pondered: "What does Concubine Mei mean, is she discovering what the queen mother and the British duke planned in the jungle back then?"
The emperor nodded hatefully, "That's right." It's a pity that no matter how smart she is, no matter how premonitive she is, in the end she still can't escape the obscenity under the queen's power. I gave the queen the power of the middle palace, and she used this power to kill the woman I love the most, in order to hide her ugly face!"
Speaking of the queen, the emperor's eyes widened angrily, gritting his teeth, if the queen was in front of him, the emperor's appearance, he was afraid that he would not be able to bite off his neck.
The chief waiter was puzzled, "The old slave doesn't understand, in the palace back then, the closest to Concubine Mei was Hui Guifei Niangniang, her words can be described as confidential, how can she not tell Hui Guifei Niangniang, but told Concubine Tong." Also, with the grace that Concubine Mei received at that time, she could have informed His Majesty directly of this matter, how could she ......"
When the emperor heard this, he sighed weakly.
"Have you forgotten? At that time, the Queen Mother lingered on the sickbed and moved to the Xishan Palace to recuperate, Hui Guifei was personally ordered by the Queen Mother because of her aunt Su Yan's affection, and accompanied to the Xishan Palace to serve around, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother not in the palace, even if I was not there, the Queen would never dare to torture Concubine Mei without authorization. ”
Until now, the emperor can think of Concubine Mei being beaten by the queen and her face was unrecognizable, and her heart twitched hard.
"In the final analysis, it was I who harmed Concubine Mei! If it weren't for the fact that I didn't know the true face of the queen and mistook the evil ghost for a beloved, how could I have harmed the Mei family and not have a good death! Concubine Mei knows from under the spring, I am afraid that she has long hated me, and under the Jiuquan in the future, how will I face Concubine Mei, Xiao Yan, and the Mei family!"
Seeing that the emperor was in pain, the chief chamberlain hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, how can you blame you for this matter, if you want to blame the queen for being ruthless, the British princess is really cunning and cunning, if they didn't take advantage of Your Majesty's love and righteousness, how could there be those later." ”
As he spoke, his tone paused for a moment, and the chief waiter said: "It's just that, even so, it doesn't mean that the Mei family is indeed innocent......"
"Whether the Mei family is innocent or not, over the years, I have a clear heart...... What I lack is just a reason to convince myself...... And for this reason, I never thought that it would be like this! The queen actually attacked Concubine Mei for this, and at that time, Concubine Mei still had my flesh and blood in her stomach!"
