613. in the first place

On the way to the Fuyuan Palace, the queen repeatedly recalled what she had done wrong, which aroused the suspicion of Prince An and Princess An, how could she still make trouble with Concubine Zhuang? The important thing is, how could the emperor go to Concubine Zhuang at this time?

The more she thought about it, the more uncertain she became, and the joy she had about planning with the prince before had now vanished, turning into endless panic.

She knows the emperor's temperament best, and even the concubine Chen, who has been favored by the emperor for many years, can't get the slightest pity from him, not that if she gives death, she will die, what is she, the queen? If it weren't for the fact that her brother has been holding power outside for so many years, I am afraid that she, the queen, would have been deposed a long time ago, and now that my brother's family has been convicted and exiled, I am afraid that it will be her turn as the queen now.

And once she is deposed as the queen, will the emperor still have a way to live?

The queen was full of sadness, the closer she got to the Fuyuan Palace, the more uneasy she became, and she couldn't even look at the mourning pavilion that she usually had to stop and watch when she passed by, and her mind was full of thoughts about what the emperor would do with her, which made her afraid and timid, if she didn't really can't hide, she really wanted to shrink in Chaofeng Palace.

When she arrived at the Fuhui Palace, accompanied by the long voice of the palace people, the queen tried her best to restrain her nervousness and walked slowly into the palace.

In the hall, I saw the emperor and Concubine Zhuang, and there was Aunt Xu kneeling next to her, but ...... The queen looked left and right, and wondered in her heart, why didn't she see Prince An?

Emperor Wen was really too lazy to see the queen, if he hadn't had to lift the queen's grounding, he really felt that he wouldn't want to see her in this life.

Then he asked directly: "Presumably, before the queen comes, she should know why I sent you here." ”

The queen's heart jumped, and she looked at Aunt Xu who was kneeling, and she didn't want to admit that she instructed Aunt Xu to embarrass Princess An.

She shook her head a little panicked: "Concubine...... The concubine just asked Aunt Xu to teach Princess An some rules in the palace, who knows that Aunt Xu will never return, and the concubine still feels strange, but I don't know where the emperor saw Aunt Xu? ”

The queen's excuse is really ridiculous, and as the queen's confidant, Aunt Xu was completely thrown aside by the queen as an outcast at this time, and she didn't ask about her life or death, which also made Aunt Xu's heart more and more sad.

Emperor Wen suddenly felt ridiculous, the queen's mind had not grown for so many years, if it weren't for the third daughter-in-law's clever child who knew how to find Concubine Zhuang for help, I was afraid that the queen would think that he would release her, and the harem would be under her control again.

It's just that in the face of stupid people, even if there are hundreds of ways to ask her, Emperor Wen is not interested at this time, thinking about what will happen later, he doesn't want to cause more trouble, so he waved his hand and said: "Since you don't know, let Concubine Zhuang tell you the matter, I still have something." ”

Seeing the emperor turn around and leave without hesitation, the queen only felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart.

It has always been like this, he has never refused to say a few more words to her, every time he either asks Concubine Zhuang or Concubine Shu to talk to her, there is a Concubine Chen who has been dead for more than ten years, as if she is not as good as others, and she can't get his pity at all.

Looking at the queen's face from apprehension to surprise to resentment, three expressions changed in an instant, Concubine Zhuang shook her head lightly in her heart, for so many years, the queen has not figured out the emperor's temper, saying that it is a serious couple, in her opinion, it is not as good as their concubines, but she is not good at saying anything, only said softly: "Invite the queen mother here, but there is just something for the mother to know......"

It was only halfway through that he was stopped by the queen.

The queen's sharp eyes swept towards Concubine Zhuang, how could she, as the main room, refuse to lose face in front of the concubine, today is her limit, she raised her head arrogantly, as if she didn't even bother to glance at Concubine Zhuang, turned her head to Aunt Xu and said, "You idiot, where did you take Prince and Princess An?" It actually alarmed the emperor, and the palace saw that you had itchy skin, and wanted someone to help loosen it. ”

Aunt Xu raised her head, with some grief and indignation in her eyes, and frowned at the queen.

When the queen saw that Aunt Xu wanted to speak, she immediately rushed to say, "Why don't you go back to Chaofeng Palace to the palace?" It's embarrassing here! ”

said that he didn't give Concubine Zhuang time to make a statement, so he pulled Aunt Xu and took her away.

Concubine Zhuang sighed heavily, and she didn't know whether to say that the queen was stupid or stupid, and she even dared to ignore the emperor's instructions.

Chanyi walked out of the cubicle and looked at her aunt, and she was a little unsure whether the queen's attitude was okay or nothing.

didn't hold back, so he asked: "Now, the queen mother shouldn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?" ”

Concubine Zhuang shook her head with a smile and touched Chanyi's hair: "Whether she will have trouble is still unknown, but you really disgusted her, after all, she is a concubine, I am afraid that your life will not be good in the future, fortunately, you are a well-behaved person, and you will not suffer in vain, so it's okay, a soft person like my sister can have a stubborn little lady like you, which can be regarded as a creation." ”

Listening to her aunt talking and pulling her mother, Chanyi tilted her head a little puzzled.

Concubine Zhuang looked at her ignorant appearance, and when she thought of the things in the court, her smile fell, but she couldn't bear to hide it from her, and said indistinctly: "Xia Shijing is a fool, you have to go back to see your mother more, and what happened to you." ”

Chanyi frowned, what did her father do? Why didn't she hear half a word, but it was her aunt who came to tell her this?

In fact, he didn't complain that Chanyi didn't care about the Xie family, but Xia Shijing made it clear that the previous impeachments were all empty early yesterday morning, and wrote a lot of words to draw a line with the Xie family, which made the emperor very angry, and almost embarrassed him in the palace, but in the end, it was for Chu Shaoyuan's face that he didn't really send Xia Shijing, but verbally knocked a few words, but even these few sentences were ruthless.

And this matter was originally covered up by the Xia family, and Chu Shaoyuan was outside, so these news did not reach Chanyi's ears so quickly.

It's just that Concubine Zhuang heard this, and she still looked down on Xia Shijing somewhat, and this disdain became deeper and deeper, so she reminded Chanyi just now, afraid that the Xie family would be uncomfortable in the Xia family, so she asked her to go back and see the Xie family.

Chanyi nodded obediently: "Aunt rest assured, there are not many chores in the house, but these days because of the New Year, I didn't run home, and I went back to see my mother in the morning of the second day of junior high school, and I will definitely stay with my mother overnight, so you can rest assured." ”

Because a married woman cannot return to her parents' house at will, especially during the New Year's Festival, because she has to take care of her in-law's middle feed, there is a custom of not returning to her parents' house in Dayan Yunfu City.

Concubine Zhuang smiled and nodded, "I see you were scared just now, now there is still some time before the dinner, you can rest on the warm couch for a while, you are not energetic during the dinner party." ”

Chanyi also felt a little tired, so she didn't excuse herself, and she lay down on the warm couch and pretended to sleep.

……

The queen returned to the palace, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the emperor might have found the clue, so she called her over and repeatedly asked Aunt Xu what happened afterward.

Aunt Xu had been knocked unconscious on the ground at that time, how did she know that she had been taken to Ci'an Palace, and she didn't know how she was brought to the Fuyuan Palace, but she only knew that when she woke up, she saw the emperor's majestic and cold face, and she was so frightened that she almost told the whole story, but later came back to her senses, gritted her teeth and took the blame herself, so that the emperor did not suspect it.

At this time, she was tired and tired, and she had a terrible headache in the back of her neck, but if she wanted to return to the queen, she couldn't help but feel a little tired.

The queen was anxious, who cared if she was tired or not, she asked several times, until the whole person asked by Aunt Xu was about to collapse there, and then scolded a few words: "Waste, it's better to raise a dog than to raise you!" "Slut, if something bad happens to you, you will be torn into pieces!" Such words are both hurtful and vicious.

Aunt Xu was numb to these words when she heard them, and resignedly accepted the past.

But the queen became more and more uneasy, paced in place for a long time, and finally made up her mind to let the palace people call the prince in.

The prince was preparing for the palace change in the East Palace, and when he heard the palace people's announcement, saying that the queen had called him over, and when he had something important to discuss with him, he felt a little strange, and the queen mother didn't know what he was doing.

He hurriedly tidied up his clothes, threw the rest to the eunuch on the side, and walked quickly to Chaofeng Palace.

As soon as the queen saw the prince coming in, she immediately burst into tears, and after sending all the people in the palace out, the queen poured out all the things she had seen the emperor before.

When the prince heard that he was almost angry, he couldn't help but complain: "Why is the queen mother so anxious? Didn't you say that whether it was punishment for kneeling or anything, you always had a way to ignore her and make her feel uncomfortable, but how could you dare to throw people to Jingyuan Palace so blatantly? Jingyuan Palace is a cold palace, and there is a big event today, you want my life! ”

The queen's face was also very ugly, and she didn't refute it when the prince attacked like this, but said with concern: "Emperor, I see that your father seems to have noticed something, and he didn't even want to look at me just now, so he just let Concubine Zhuang deal with this matter, if not, if not, it will be done today, and it is not too late to plan another day." ”

The crown prince was no longer able to say anything more to the queen at this time, he said in a deep voice: "The queen mother doesn't have to be anxious, the emperor must give the queen mother an explanation for this matter, and the queen mother's expectations will not be disappointed!" ”

He walked out as he spoke, and he couldn't stand the queen's chatter.

The queen was worried, and she was afraid of hurting the prince's heart, so she had to look at the prince's back and instructed behind: "The emperor still has to be cautious, don't go your own way, you think about the queen mother, think about the princess, and then think about your uncle!" ”
