Chapter 42: Plotting within a game

The sky was overcast and covered with a thick layer of ash, and it was impossible to see the birds flapping their wings wantonly in the clouds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After a while, the sky suddenly changed, and the west wind suddenly rose, and the palace walls that blew were scattered. Su Wan tightened his light-colored floral collar, took a deep breath, and stepped on the layers of white marble steps.

In the quiet and quiet imperial study, burning soothing incense, the red light in the enamel cloisonnΓ© gilt dragon around the foot furnace is flourishing, and behind the curtain formed by the series of pearls and jades, the emperor lies on the wide throne, resting with his eyes closed. It's just that from the frowning eyebrows, you can see that he is bored at the moment.

"The concubine is summoned to see the emperor, and the emperor is safe." She craned her neck to look at the person behind the case, and she could remind him that she seemed to have a certain place in his heart.

The emperor didn't move, and snorted in a muffled voice, "You're here?" Come up and sit. ”

She walked up with her skirt as she said, but she didn't dare to sit down next to her, and in the end, Yuwen Che dragged her, and she slowly sat on the edge.

"Why are you wearing such plain clothes today, and you don't wear any jewelry?"

Su Wan cleared his chin and said, "It's really inappropriate to come to serve the king with this makeup. It's just that the child in Concubine De's womb was not born safely, and the concubine was very sorry, the child was innocently implicated in the dark fight, and she was afraid that she could not leave with peace of mind, so she held the precept for a few days to show her gratitude. ”

Although her words were moving, judging from her past disagreements with Concubine De, it would inevitably make people feel fake. The emperor didn't care whether she was true or pretended, and only noticed one sentence, "Do you also think that someone with a heart did it on purpose to cause Concubine De to give birth prematurely?" ”

"The concubine doesn't have this intention..."She turned her face in frustration, "I was pregnant for ten months, I pay attention to peace of mind, meticulous health preservation, since the concubine entered the palace, I often clashed with Concubine De, and made her angry several times." The concubine just wondered if she had been more patient at that time, and the prince could grow up healthier..."

The emperor was very surprised, he didn't expect her to say this frankly, one did not shy away from the pain of losing his son, and the other actually blamed the early death of the prince on his conflict with Concubine De. He sat up and hurriedly circled her into his arms, "You are talking nonsense again, what an arrogant person Concubine De is, I still don't know?" It's her who is aggressive, no wonder you. She was born prematurely because she was frightened and had fetal gas. ”

Su Wanqing was shocked, "I had a tire gas last night?!" ”

The Emperor nodded weakly, poured out his bitter water at her, and told her all his guesses.

"The emperor thinks that someone deliberately told Concubine De about the change in Liu's mansion, and then Concubine De gave birth prematurely under panic and anger?" Her eyes widened as if terrified.

"Exactly. The Song family was in the Qianqing Palace last night, and I suspected that it was Li Guifei's doing, but after thinking about it carefully, the Yun family has always had no desire or quarrel, and has no motive. He narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, turned the wrench ring on his thumb, and his slender fingers were heart-wrenching, "Later, I learned that the Yun family actually spent the night with you last night, so it can't be her doing." ”

"Your Majesty." She hooked her lips slightly, moved back to massage his shoulder, and secretly glanced at him, her resolute face was clearly lined, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something else to worry about?" ”

Talking about the Queen Mother and Kehou, his head was about to explode, and he slapped the Ming Huang Fuzi silk embroidered pillow and said, "Mrs. Shicai made a fuss later." ”

"The Queen Mother?" She muttered.

The emperor looked at her frowning and thoughtful look very cute, and stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of her small nose, "That's it, don't think about those troubles." I just want to be happy with you, and tell me what you did today. ”

She let out a long "um" sound, "What can I do, I sat with Sister Min, Rui Concubine, and Li Cairen earlier, and then I heard about the affairs of Xianfu Palace, so I was busy paying tribute to the prince." ”

The emperor smiled reluctantly, leaned sideways on the pillow, and took her into his arms, "I know that you are boring in this palace, but I can only take you out of the palace at the end of the year." I originally wanted to let your family enter the palace to accompany you, but your father is a subordinate official of Jinan Prefecture, and he is busy paying tribute to weaving at this time, so he has dragged it out for so long. ”

"Don't worry, as long as the emperor is there, the concubine will not be alone in this palace." A few suspicious flushes flew up her cheeks, and the woman's shyness was fully revealed, and she was extremely happy in the eyes of the emperor.

Li Ronggui and Qi Lu looked at the Nanmu partition outside, and the warmth and affection in the imperial study made them breathe a sigh of relief, and they didn't know what Jia Fangyi was capable of, and three or two sentences could make the emperor angry.

"Look at this affectionate yo, Concubine Wei didn't treat her so well back then." Qi Lu smashed his mouth and snorted casually, "How can this Jia Fangyi look so similar to Concubine Wei!" ”

Li Ronggui raised his hand and patted him on the red tasseled hat, "What are you talking about!" Is this also said casually? ”

Qi Lu rolled his eyes and snorted, why can't he say it. In his opinion, this Jia Fangyi not only looks alike, but also has a similar personality, just praying not to follow the old path of Concubine Wei. But then again, if the emperor agrees to have an heir, there shouldn't be anything to do!

Three days later, the Internal Affairs Office reported to the emperor about Concubine De's premature birth, only to find out that Concubine De went to Shoukang Palace that day, and when she returned to Xianfu Palace, the whole person was not abnormal.

The Internal Affairs Office interrogated Qingtan carefully, and at first she didn't admit her life or death, and then she was tortured and tortured, and finally confided the truth.

"Asking the emperor to spare her life, it was Concubine Ligui who asked the slave to do this, and the slave and maid were also forced to be helpless, begging the emperor to spare her life." Qingtan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and his forehead was quickly scratched and bleeding.

The emperor did not expect to be angry, but said to the head of the Internal Affairs Office with a gloomy face, "I see that you have not yet interrogated the results, and you actually asked such ridiculous words!" ”

Qingtan was terrified and said, "What the slave said is the truth, it is indeed the concubine Li Gui who asked the slave to tell all the things about the Liu Mansion raiding the house in front of Concubine De. ”

She trembled, raised her eyelids and glanced at the angry emperor, "I heard, I heard that it was to avenge the leak of secrets......

The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, and the words "revenge for leaking secrets" alone evoked that long memory. Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Wei was given a red flower for stealing a pregnant heir, but they didn't know that Concubine Li and Concubine Wei were very good friends back then.

At that time, Concubine Wei favored the six palaces, and the palace concubines did not flatter, and Concubine De, who was still in a low position at that time, inadvertently learned the secret of Concubine Wei, so she gave it to the emperor without reservation.

Therefore, Concubine Li actually used evil hands on the son of Concubine De for the sake of his friendship!

"Spread the decree, Xuanli concubine!" The emperor gritted his teeth word by word.
