108. Shuren
Fengyi Palace.
The courtyard that had been quiet for a long time suddenly sounded a noise, the palace gate that had been closed for a long time was slammed heavily, and in the dark night, the voice of the young man's roar was extremely clear.
Behind Song Qian, a eunuch wanted to step forward to stop him, and anxiously persuaded: "Master, master, don't be impulsive!" The emperor does not allow you to see the queen's mother, you have just received the punishment, if you anger your majesty again, how can it be good? ”
"Go away!"
Song Qian kicked away the little eunuch who was close to him, still insisting on patting the closed palace door, and shouted angrily: "Open the door for me, open the door for me, I want to see the queen mother, I want to see her, I have something to say to her!" ”
After a long time, the mottled and cumbersome palace door creaked, and it really opened slowly.
A face was revealed inside the door, it was Lilac who was grounded with Xu Jinhe, Lilac saw that it was Song Qian, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Second master, why are you?" How did you get here? ”
"I want to see the queen mother!" Song Qian went straight to the clove that was still standing in front of the door, and said angrily as he rushed in: "Where is the queen mother?" I want to see her! ”
There was no time for others to dissuade him, and in the blink of an eye, the young man had already stepped into the hall, and then he saw his mother, Xu Jinhe.
Xu Jinhe was wearing a robe, because she had just woken up from a dream, there was no makeup on her face, and in the dim light, she showed her original age, and her face was haggard and pale. When he saw that the person who broke in was actually his son Song Qian, Xu Jinhe was surprised and delighted, hurriedly took a few steps forward, pulled the boy who was taller than himself, and said tremblingly: "Qian'er, is it really you?" The Queen Mother has seen you again......"
Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears.
This situation was originally enough to make people moved, but at this time, Song Qian was full of anger, he broke away from his mother's hand, and said tightly: "Queen Mother, the sachet you asked people to hand over to their sons is really poisonous, right?" ”
Xu Jinhe was stunned for a moment, but after being stunned, there was hope in her eyes, she didn't answer the child's words, but asked eagerly: "Is that cheap woman's child dead?" Those two evil obstacles are dead, aren't they? ”
Seeing Song Qian's face condensed, his eyes widened and said, "Sure enough, it's you, Queen Mother, you really want to harm your younger brothers and sisters, right?" ”
"What a brother and sister!" Xu Jinhe's face changed, and he suddenly said sharply: "That slut is not worthy of being your younger brother and sister at all!" Tell the queen mother, are those two evil obstacles dead? ”
But Song Qian didn't reply to her words, just looked at her like that, looking completely powerless, disappointed and heartbroken.
Seeing him like this, Xu Jinhe turned his gaze to the little eunuch who followed up, and said hurriedly: "Why don't you answer this palace quickly, are those two evil obstacles dead?" ”
Although he has been grounded for a long time, after all, he has been the housewife for so many years, and the momentum of Ling Ren is still the same, the little eunuch lowered his head and whispered: "Hui Niangniang, the little prince and the little princess are still alive, and after the imperial doctor's treatment, they have been out of danger." ”
"What?"
The hope in his eyes instantly turned into incredible, Xu Jinhe stared at his red eyes, and said angrily: "Not dead? It's not dead yet......"
"Queen Mother!"
Song Qian finally spoke out angrily, he also looked at Xu Jinhe with wide eyes, and asked, "Why did you kill them, they are still little babies who don't understand anything, why did you kill them, are you really so vicious?" ”
"What, why? Not for you! ”
Xu Jinhe was also furious, and she roared sharply: "The queen mother is already like this now, if you don't get rid of that woman's child, how can you ensure that your eldest brother will succeed to the throne in the future?" If your eldest brother can't succeed to the throne, do you think your mother and you will still have a way to live? You are already so old, not only did you not help the queen mother share her worries, but you even questioned me in turn, the queen mother really hurt you in vain in the past! ”
She finally told her true intentions.
Yes, if it weren't for Song Chi, what else could she be for? Now that she has fallen to this point, the slut has become more and more proud, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and was promoted to the imperial concubine!
The queen herself is imprisoned, but she is in the spring. The wind is proud, why!
If she doesn't use some methods, God knows what she will do to her blazing son! She is so despicable, she will definitely hurt Chi'er and push her son up, if she really waits for such a result, then what's the point of enduring humiliation and stealing her life like this?
So, whether it's a ruin or a desperate gamble, she must kill them! Never tolerate her son being a half-threat to Chi'er!
Xu Jinhe finished yelling, but Song Qian did not calm down, and a more incredible question from the young man followed.
"For the sake of the eldest brother? Sure enough, it's for the eldest brother, not to mention that you killed innocents indiscriminately, and even put your sons in danger! The queen mother, the son is also your son, you are so partial? Can you abandon your children for the sake of your eldest brother? If something really happens to the younger siblings of Yufu Palace tonight, do you think your father will let your son go? ”
The hall fell silent for a moment.
At the mention of this, Xu Jinhe was suddenly stunned, softened, and hurriedly walked into Song Qian's side, and coaxed softly: "Qian'er, you are his child, he won't treat you like anything." Don't worry, when your eldest brother ascends the throne in the future, we will all be fine, we will all be fine, Qian'er......"
She tried to grab her son's hand, but was angrily dodged by her heartbroken son.
Song Qian shed tears again and said sadly: "Queen Mother, now the younger brothers and sisters are fine, but the father no longer trusts his son. Also, my father knows that you want to kill people, do you think he will still let you go? Can you still ...... Can we wait until the day when the eldest brother ascends the throne? ”
Xu Jinhe was stunned.
Everyone in the hall looked frightened and desperate. Xu Jinhe burst into tears and asked, "Does he know that Bengong did it?" What is he going to do? Is he going to kill me, he's going to kill me for that woman, right? ”
No one could answer her.
After all, her fault is too big.
Under the heavy night, the dim Fengyi Palace suddenly fell into a dead silence. No one spoke.
For a long time, Song Qian, who was sad and disappointed, smiled bitterly and wanted to turn around and leave, but met a eunuch who came to deliver the decree.
Fengyi Palace has not ushered in the holy decree for hundreds of days, and the people in the hall are a little stunned, and before they can react, the person who came opened the golden scroll in his hand and read it out.
"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: Queen Xu, the women's behavior is at a loss, flashy and unrealistic, and she still instigates the prince to mutilate his siblings during the period of confinement, and his crime is obvious, and heaven is intolerable. From now on, he will be abolished as a concubine and move to the cold palace. Chin this! ”
Closing the decree with a blank face, he came to say: "Niangniang, please accept the decree!" ”
Like five thunderbolts, everyone in the hall, including Song Qian, who had not yet had time to leave, was stunned, no one expected that Song Chen's punishment would come so soon.
The original famous Yuxiu, the former Princess Heng, and the queen of the Middle Palace, all of these left her, and she Xu Jinhe really waited for such a fate.
After the abolition, the cold palace!
Xu Jinhe stared at the holy decree in the eunuch's hand, and said angrily: "He wants to abolish me? Hongu disagrees! The mother's family of this palace has been meritorious for generations, and the father of this palace has laid down the country for the ancestral emperor......"
Before she finished speaking, the eunuch interrupted her in a cold voice: "Niangniang didn't mention it, the slave almost forgot, there is one more thing, the emperor ordered the slave to come and inform Niangniang, your father Pei Guogong, earlier tonight, he went to the west, and the emperor ordered you to remember in the cold palace." The matter has come to this, and please mourn on the Mother's Day. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xu Jinhe, who was still hysterical, rolled his eyes and fainted.
~~
In fact, when he knew that Xu Jinhe was playing ghosts, Song Chen had the intention of killing her.
Such a woman, even if she has been grounded for so long, can still come up with such a vicious way to hurt her young son and daughter, and she can still let her own son take action, and by the way, she still wants to marry others again, this is not looking for death, what is it?
After all, Duke Peiguo is the founding general, and he is the duke of his grandfather, Emperor Xuande, because of his merits, he is now dead, and the court must bury him in a grand manner. And at this time, if his daughter Xu Jinhe is killed again, he may attract criticism from all over the world.
Therefore, he forbears it again and again, but he still spares her life, only abolishes her posterior, and enters the cold palace.
The rest of the things can only be said when the filial piety period of the Xu family passes.
Chu Xue also understood these trade-offs, although she hated it very much, but the moment she saw Song Chen write the edict of the abolished queen with her own eyes, she realized that it turned out that such a result would make the woman linger and spend the rest of her life in the cold palace, which was also gratifying. After all, Xu Jinhe cares so much about her status and power, and now that she has been taken away, she should be very good at life rather than death!
And life is worse than death, perhaps the most torturous taste.
No wonder after Song Chen ascended the throne, the Queen Mother still kept the life of her mortal enemy, Empress Chen. It turns out that the most ruthless revenge is to let the person who hates herself see her getting better and better, but she will never be able to turn over.
The woman was self-inflicted, she didn't have to mind. Now, it's good to take care of your children.
The important thing is that after tonight, it can be seen that Song Chen has been disappointed in Song Qian, and now there is only one prince left in the Xu family, and she herself also has Xuan'er, the prince, Song Chen is still young, in fact, everything is possible.
~~
After five or six days of careful recuperation by the imperial doctors, Xuan'er and An An finally recovered, the two little guys regained their spirits, and gradually smiled, Chu Xue finally completely relieved herself.
Then she remembered an important matter, Li Jiaoyun has not been well.
She hurriedly asked Ruyue to go to Tai Hospital to preach the Tao Yizhi, and ordered Cheng Zisong to personally diagnose Li Jiaoyun's pulse.
In fact, there is no shortage of imperial doctors in the hospital, there are not many concubines at the moment, each palace has its own full-time imperial doctor, and it is convenient to summon it, but this time Li Jiaoyun was sick for nearly half a month with a cold, in Chu Xue's opinion, it is obvious that the imperial doctor of Yaohua Palace is derelict in his duties, so it is serious to let Cheng Zisong go over and help Li Jiaoyun take care of his body.
Soon, Cheng Zisong came to ask for the pulse of Xuan'er and An An, and after talking about the affairs in his palace, Chu Xue asked him: "How is Sister Rong's health?" ”
Cheng Zisong paused slightly, and replied: "Back to Niangniang, Concubine Rong's cold is improving, it will take about a few days, and the symptoms should be eliminated, but ......"
Cheng Zisong suddenly paused, Chu Xue reacted, and immediately raised his hand to clear the idle people, waiting for only those close to him to be left in the hall, Cheng Zisong continued: "The minister doesn't dare to hide it, Concubine Rong's body has been empty for a long time, so this time, it's just a small wind chill but has not healed for a long time, the minister is not alarmist, but Concubine Rong's body is indeed unbearable, if there is another illness in the future, I'm afraid it will ......."
"I'm afraid of what?" Chu Xue asked with a frown, and had a bad guess in her heart.
Sure enough, I listened to him: "I'm afraid there will be stricter consequences." ”
"What does that mean?" Chu Xue felt extremely incredible, "Sister Concubine Rong has only arrived in her thirties, why is her body so weak?" Isn't she always fine? ”
Cheng Zisong's face was solemn, "Weichen doesn't dare to say anything, Concubine Rong should have suffered from a major illness in her early years, and her body has not been recuperated, so she will lead to this situation." ”
"Serious illness?" Chu Xue subconsciously looked at Ruyue beside her, and old things suddenly flashed in her mind.
Ruyue also thought about it, and hurriedly mentioned to Cheng Zisong: "Senior brother, I heard that when Concubine Rong gave birth to the third prince in her early years, she had a difficult birth, and she was raised in bed for half a year before recovering," Looking at Chu Xue, Ruyue continued: "In fact, I heard that when she was pregnant, she also had drowsiness, which is somewhat similar to the illness of the master after the sleep in the past, and I am afraid that the dose will be much larger." ”
Cheng Zisong thought for a while, nodded and said: "If Concubine Rong Niangniang also suffered from the poison of sleep devouring and scattering in the past, then the dystocia can actually make sense, and the dystocia of the year was blood deficiency, and the poison of sleep devouring and dispersion has been in the body for a long time, and it is not surprising that these two causes have dragged her body down to this day." ”
Cheng Zisong's words came into his ears, Chu Xue was extremely angry, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "That woman is too vicious!" Sister Yun is such an indisputable and jealous person, she will not let go, Sister Yun is still so young, if anything happens, what will she pay for! ”
Seeing that she was angry, Ruyue hurriedly persuaded: "Master, the matter has come to this point, this is not something we can control, you must not be angry and hurt your body!" ”
She didn't say anything more, but there was a pain in her heart.
After a while, Cheng Zisong asked again: "Niangniang, in fact, the minister still has something unclear, since after the pulse of Concubine Rong Niangniang, the minister has checked her medical records, but found something strange. ”
"Not surprising." She sneered and explained his confusion, "In the past, there was a poison doctor in Hengwang's Mansion, who was a subordinate of that woman, and since she could poison people, she naturally would not leave a handle, and the medicinal books you have read must have been changed." ”
Cheng Zisong nodded and didn't say anything more, but Chu Xue thought of something important.
That's right, Liao Zhong.
The woman in the cold palace still owes such an account, wouldn't it be too cheap if she didn't settle it with her!
