Chapter 41: Kinship

It took two full hours for Concubine De to give birth to the child, but the fetus was bruised and breathless since it was born. Concubine Xian www.biquge.info was terrified, and on the one hand, she asked the palace people to properly dispose of the stillbirth, and on the other hand, she reported it to the emperor.

The sobs in the Xianfu Palace were non-stop, and Concubine De never imagined that she would be born prematurely, so that the fetus was less than a month old, and finally failed to come to this world safely. She hates it! But now it is far from being able to be solved by hatred, the whole family is waiting for her to protect her, but she still doesn't know how to protect herself.

The golden dragon in front of the king lit a huge candle on the candlestick, reflecting the entire imperial study. The emperor leaned weakly on the throne, and his expression was so pale that it was impossible to see through.

Li Ronggui had already received a report from the palace people sent by Concubine Xian, and he couldn't stop feeling sorry for Concubine De. I heard that it is a prince, if he is born safely, not to mention that Concubine De has something to rely on in this life, and the emperor also has scruples about dealing with Liu's mansion, he will not end up too miserably.

"Concubine De knows about the disposal of the Liu Mansion?" The emperor unconsciously rubbed the dragon sleeve robe, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and he was very painful.

"Back to the emperor, according to Qing Yao, the palace maid who served Concubine De, the mother was shocked because she was angry, and it is not clear what happened."

The Emperor snorted coldly, "How can it not be clear? Didn't Qing Yao serve her closely? ”

The palace man sent by Concubine Xian continued, "Miss Qingyao said that when Niang Niang was angry, she was having dinner and didn't know what was going on. ”

The emperor was speechless for a long time, looking through the glass window that the night was thick outside, a long and narrow moon hook hung in the sky, and the color of the silver frost was a little thin and cool. He glanced sideways at Li Ronggui, Li Ronggui comprehended, and hurriedly replied, "Master, the little master Hui is resting in the surrounding room, and there is nothing unusual." ”

The emperor's face fell, and he saw that he was about to have a seizure, Li Ronggui hurriedly added, "I heard that Concubine Li went to Jia Fangyi of Chengqian Palace to thank her, and suddenly she felt unwell, so she has been resting there." ”

His heart was poked, his face was a little uncertain, and he leaned back against the bright yellow backrest, and his fingers clicked on the table.

Just when everyone was about to raise their hearts to their throats, the emperor suddenly spoke, "The matter of the frightened premature birth of Concubine Yan Chade of the Internal Affairs Office must be out within three days." As for Concubine De, although she gave birth to a stillborn child for the royal family, which caused the royal family to lose face, I thought about the past friendship and was really unwilling to abandon it. Spread the decree to make Concubine De cultivate in Xianfu Palace, and she should not lack it. As for the Li Gui Concubine Yun and Hui Chongyi Song, they don't have to settle their minds in front of Concubine De in the morning and dusk on weekdays. ”

"Minion Command."

Three o'clock had passed, the night was already deep, and it was very quiet. The four-corner wind lanterns hanging at the corners of the eaves are crumbling in the autumn wind, and there are only bursts of broken bells in the long street of the palace lane, which are as quiet as birds passing by.

The emperor disposed of Concubine De's will, and naturally some people were happy and some were worried. It's just that this game has just begun, and it's still far from the end.

The next day, the emperor woke up, and before he could recover from the pain of losing his son, Yu Linjun reported another strange incident. Last night, Kehou's residence was attacked, and the Yulin army in charge of guarding it injured more than a dozen people, and Kehou Chu Xiuze was also injured.

"Kehou has been staying at home recently, except for entering the palace a few days ago to ask the Queen Mother for peace, he basically doesn't step out of Xiyuan." Zhou Jingyuan, the commander of the Yulin Army, bowed his head and said.

"Have you found out who is here?" The emperor stood in front of the imperial case with his hands down, and continued to draw on the fold with a red pen with his eyelids down.

"According to the humble position, the attacker is agile and has extraordinary skills, and it seems that he is a person from the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to track down."

As soon as Zhou Jingyuan's words fell, Li Ronggui stumbled in, pointed outside and stumbled, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother Lafayette is here." ”

The emperor suddenly put down the pen in his hand and looked at the door of the diamond-plated palace, where the queen mother had already walked in with the support of Aunt Fang Lan.

Due to the presence of foreign ministers, the emperor had to show the demeanor of a filial son, "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is coming to the Qianqing Palace, why don't you notify first, the son should prepare in advance." ”

The Queen Mother was angry when she looked at his fake face, and reprimanded her in a daze, "You don't have to say these polite words to the mourning family!" The mourning family stepped out of Shoukang Palace today, just to ask the emperor, what happened to Ze'er's injury! ”

As if he had been struck by lightning, Yu Wenche quickly sensed that something was wrong. Even if the news in the palace was fast, it would not come to such a point, he received the news on the front foot, and the queen mother rushed to question on the back foot. What's more, the Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she has always been closed to news!

"Don't worry, the queen mother, my son just heard about it."

"How can the mourning family not be in a hurry! Ze'er has no power to restrain the chicken, and he can't use any weapons. And you, just a few Yulin soldiers looked at him, you don't want to protect him! ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned, the queen mother was so old that she could not be reasonable. Kehou was originally a remnant of Southern Chu, and it is not an exaggeration to kill him. The emperor spared his life, gave him a place to live, and let the Yulin army guarding the palace protect him, which can be described as the emperor's grace. Now that something has unfortunately happened, the Queen Mother is so indiscriminately accountable, and it is really unbelievable to reprimand her own son like this in front of the foreign ministers.

The emperor's face was pale, and he glanced at Fuquan, and Fuquan persuaded the queen mother, "Lafayette, you see that Commander Zhou is here, he must be reporting the attack on Marquis Ke, let's go back to the palace and wait for the result, I think it will be very fast." ”

Zhou Jingyuan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, Marquis Ke's injury is not serious, and the wound was treated by the imperial doctor last night. The humble duty must do his best to track down the murderer, give the emperor, and give you an explanation. ”

The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, and she glared at the emperor viciously and shouted, "What to check!" Ze'er has never had an enemy, and there are only a handful of people who have this mind and ability to harm him! Emperor, do you dare to do it now, do you think that the mourning family can be sent casually? Do you think that if you just find a sinner to replace you, the mourners will believe it? Judging from the mourning family, you are the murderer! ”

When all the people in the temple heard this, they all fell to their knees. The emperor held his breath in his chest, repeatedly forced himself to swallow it, and yelled at Fuquan, "Don't help the Queen Mother back to the palace quickly!" ”

The Queen Mother initiated a horizontal coming, like a shrew in the market, and several eunuchs lifted her up together before she was taken out of the Qianqing Palace.

Yu Wenche only felt that his head was full of blood, and he was even a little unsteady, he staggered a few steps, grasping the edge of the table with both hands before he could stand.

"Make sure to get to the bottom of this!" He grabbed the purple clay pot in front of him and smashed it at the ground of the green dragon jade carving.

Zhou Jingyuan retreated after receiving the order, the emperor stroked his forehead, his expression was very painful, and only after a while did he say, "Xuanjia Fangyi accompanies you." ”
