Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying came back and forth, Guo Hui made a full gesture, and said cryingly: "The concubine is guilty of not taking care of Sister Li." She is too, she didn't know if she was pregnant, and now she ...... Alas, it's too late for the concubines to pass on the imperial doctor. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was going to see Li Meiren, but when he heard that she was dead, he didn't go to her room, so he turned around and helped Guo Hui up, "I don't blame you, she did it herself, and she also affected my imperial heir." ”

Ma Xiuying watched coldly, this is her husband, Li Meiren is his woman, and she doesn't even bother to look at her when she dies. She didn't want to stay here to continue to enjoy Guo Hui's performance, and said coolly: "Concubine Hui may be scared, the emperor is here to comfort Concubine Hui, and the concubine will go to see Li Meiren off." “

Entering the side hall, a cadre of palace people and the imperial doctor knelt on the ground, and the imperial doctor said: "The queen mother atoned for her sins, Li Meiren had a miscarriage and hemorrhage, and the old minister was incompetent and failed to save Li Meiren." ”

Ma Xiuying asked: "Why did Li Meiren have a miscarriage?" ”

The imperial doctor replied: "Li Meiren's fetus is not right, and her own weakness makes the fetus block the intra-abdominal duct, causing qi and blood to flow through, and the fetus is stillborn. The stillborn child tugged at the wound as it fell, and then hemorrhaged. The old minister tried his best to stop the bleeding. ”

Ma Xiuying glanced at the palace people, "What were you doing when Li Meiren had an accident?" Why wasn't the situation detected in time? ”

Several palace ladies begged for mercy: "The queen mother spares her life!" As soon as the beauty Niangniang had an accident, the slaves and maids hurriedly helped her to the bed to rest, and asked someone to tell Concubine Hui to ask for a doctor. But the situation of the beautiful lady was very bad, she rolled all over the bed in pain, and scratched the hands of the slaves and maids......"

Ma Xiuying snorted coldly, she had just received the news that Li Meiren had sent a box of walnut cakes to the crown princess, and the princess did not dare to eat them, so she sent someone to tell her that something happened to Li Meiren before she could ask someone to check the walnut crisp, and there must be something strange in this.

When she came to the bedside, Ma Xiuying ordered the palace people to open the curtain, and saw that Li Meiren's lower body was soaked with blood, her face was white and blue, and her eyes were open angrily, as if she was not blind to death, and it was estimated that she had died unjustly. But she really wasn't in the mood to track down the murderer for Li Meiren, so let Li Shanchang handle this matter by herself, and said lightly: "Call someone to inform the Korean Duchess." ”

After dealing with Li Meiren's funeral, Ma Xiuying went directly to the East Palace without even entering the main hall of Jingyang Palace, no matter whether Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be confused or was deceived by Guo Hui, she didn't care about her business, she was now more worried about Zhu Biao's safety.

Chang Meirong greeted him and said in a low voice: "Thanks to the queen mother's reminder, otherwise the daughter-in-law would not be wary of these foreign objects." The daughter-in-law has asked people to check the walnut cake, and some of them have concocted abortion pills, what is Li Meiren going to do, and the daughter-in-law has no grievances with her? ”

"Li Meiren is probably just a scapegoat." Ma Xiuying sighed and told Chang Meirong about Li Meiren's death and her suspicions, "Don't make a noise about this, Li Meiren is dead, and you can't find anything if you check it, but it will make the emperor unhappy." ”

Chang Meirong heard that Li Meiren was dead and dead, her face turned white with fright, she subconsciously covered her stomach, and said in horror: "Is Concubine Hui really so vicious?" The last time I met her in the garden, she greeted her daughter-in-law cordially. ”

Ma Xiuying patted her hand pityingly, "Silly child, the queen mother doesn't want to say right and wrong, but which woman in this harem doesn't live with a mask?" Don't look at what the queen mother says in front of you, she is not serious and pretentious in front of others. The prince has a generous and generous temperament, and what he tells you must be about father's love and mother's love, brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood. In fact, I deliberately didn't let him come into contact with those pickled dirty things, so as not to irritate him, so you must be mindful and don't be deceived by appearances. ”

Chang Meirong was just about to speak, but Ma Xiuying stopped her and continued: "In the past, the emperor didn't have such a big power, and the emperor's heirs didn't have so many, and the concubines were very simple, so everyone could still get along in harmony. However, as the imperial heir grew up and the concubines were eager for power, the harem began to be restless. Many seemingly unexpected things are actually not accidents, I know, and the emperor also knows that he has repeatedly suppressed the situation just to create a scene of harmony in the palace, but I don't know that the more this happens, the more those women will fly high, and I don't know how thick the sky is. The reason why Concubine Hui dared to act so arbitrarily was because he was used to it. He probably doesn't care about anyone except his throne and his heir. ”

This is the first time that Ma Xiuying has publicly complained about her dissatisfaction with Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Chang Meirong, and Chang Meirong was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak out.

Ma Xiuying felt a little out of shape, stopped the topic curtly, and said: "The emperor's family is the easiest to thin people's feelings, but the queen mother doesn't want you and the prince to be strangers in the future, the queen mother hopes that you will always raise your eyebrows and live in harmony, even if the queen mother is gone, you can help the queen mother take good care of the prince." ”

Chang Meirong immediately said: "Queen Mother, you have done so many good deeds, you will definitely live a long life, and the daughter-in-law and the prince will still honor you." ”

"It doesn't matter if you are filial or not, take good care of yourself, take good care of the prince, take good care of your children, this is the only requirement that the queen mother has for you." Ma Xiuying smiled faintly, she has been a human being for two lives, and she has long regarded the right of life and death very lightly. If it weren't for the protection of Zhu Biao, even if Guo Hui and these women tossed the harem upside down, she wouldn't bother to care about it.

Because of the death of Green Willow and the death of Li Meiren, rumors gradually spread in the harem, saying that there was a bad star colliding with the harem, of course Ma Xiuying didn't believe these rumors, but she couldn't stand some people spreading them privately.

The rumors were just speculations at first, but later they pointed their heads directly at Chang Meirong's body, saying that she was born to kill her father, and now she will kill others when she enters the palace.

This was too harsh, Ma Xiuying was very angry, she guessed that this was Guo Hui's means, but she couldn't catch Guo Hui's handle for the time being, so she could only drink and order the palace not to spread it indiscriminately.

However, some rumors still reached Chang Meirong's ears. She had just become pregnant, and it was a moment of overjoy, when she suddenly heard such a vicious attack, and the whole person was stunned.

When Ma Xiuying went to visit her in the East Palace, she was sad, her already petite face had lost a lot of weight, and tears rippled, "Queen Mother, is there such a vicious person?" ”

"Child, you are a tiger girl, how can you be knocked down by this means, cheer up for my imperial grandson." Ma Xiuying first asked the imperial doctor to check Chang Meirong's pulse, and only after making sure that the fetus was okay did she let the imperial doctor retreat, and comforted: "I told you about the yin in the palace a long time ago, and this rumor is obviously aimed at your child." It doesn't matter what others say, as long as the emperor, me and the prince don't mind. I have decreed that anyone who chews the root of his tongue shall be put to death with a rod, and if such a thing happens to you, do not be soft-hearted. ”

"It's horrible!" Although Ma Xiuying had already given Chang Meirong a preventive injection, when things really happened to Chang Meirong, she knew how terrible these methods of killing people without seeing blood were.

"Back then, I was also said to be the lowly life of my father and mother," Ma Xiuying remembered the years when she was ridiculed as a mourning star, her eyes were in a trance, and she quickly became clear, "But now that I am the queen and have three sons, who would dare to say that my life is low?" You are the same, don't think nonsense, give birth to the child well, and the emperor and I will be gone in the future......"

Ma Xiuying didn't say what she said later, Chang Meirong already understood that in the future, when the crown prince ascended the throne and she became the queen, who would dare to say that the east and the west would be said. This is a step that every woman in the palace is eager to climb to the top, but the smart Chang Meirong knew that she couldn't be too eager, so she hurriedly said: "The queen mother and the emperor will be able to live a long life, and the daughter-in-law will rely on the queen mother to teach her well." ”

"Silly boy." Ma Xiuying patted her hands, didn't say any more, and asked someone to pass on the prince.
