Before Zhu Di left, Caiyue ran in from outside the hall in a hurry, Zhu Di looked at her coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother learned that the emperor had returned to the palace and had rushed over to take over. At this time, it was outside the temple. Caiyue replied with a flushed face, and a pair of eyes kept glancing at me, showing a lot of intelligence.

When Zhu Di heard Xu Yunhua coming, his eyes flushed red, "She actually dared to come over and call her in." ”

After a while, Xu Yunhua walked in with only a personal maid, with tears on his face, and when he saw Zhu Di, he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, as soon as the concubine heard that you were back, she immediately rushed over, and many things happened during your absence in the palace......

"I've told the emperor everything that happened." I glanced at Xu Yunhua and said word by word.

Xu Yunhua also looked at me, but she quickly moved away, and she said very sadly, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't take care of Princess Jing'an...... I came to ask for the guilt, and I also asked the emperor to punish him. ”

There was light in Zhu Di's eyes, but they were red, and they gradually erupted into fire, he followed suit, slowly walked in front of Xu Yunhua, reached out and pinched Xu Yunhua's chin, and asked softly, "Tell me why you didn't take good care of the princess?" ”

I clearly saw the green tendons on his hands, which slowly stood out because of the force, Xu Yunhua didn't dare to say a word, I don't know if it was because of fear or pain, tears slowly flowed down both cheeks.

"Say." Zhu Di's tone carried the last patience.

Xu Yunhua didn't dare to be silent anymore, "I heard that the princess occasionally felt cold, so the concubine invited the best imperial doctor around her to come over for treatment, I don't know why...... I don't know how ...... The princess was sick for more than ten days, and then she ...... Poop ......"

Listening to her quibbling and shirking my guilt, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, sat up, and asked her, "The princess was indeed just a cold at first, but you deliberately took Imperial Doctor Wu away, and then sent your own henchman Imperial Doctor, taking the opportunity to check the pulse, brought the plague virus to the princess, the princess was young, and soon became contaminated, and you let the imperial doctor pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the princess was sick until she finally dragged it to death." Do you dare to say that you didn't do all this? ”

Xu Yunhua made a frightened and innocent look, "What? Plague? What plague? Isn't plague a disease found in flood-stricken areas? In this palace, it is clean, how can such a disease come in? Could it be...... Could it be that when the powerful concubine came back from Henan, her clothes were stained on top of the ceremony...... Even if the princess really got the plague, the powerful concubine should inform me, first, I will let the imperial doctor step up the treatment, and second, I will let the people in the harem avoid it, so as not to spread it. Powerful concubine, as the head of the concubines, you don't know such a simple truth, you really shouldn't be. ”

"Smack!"

Before Xu Yunhua's words were finished, he slapped Zhu Di firmly on his face, Zhu Di exerted enough strength, so that half of Xu Yunhua's face instantly became red and swollen, Xu Yunhua covered his cheeks in disbelief, was stunned for a long time, and then whimpered and cried. Zhu Di didn't give her a chance to cry, "Don't look like this again, what's the matter with Bao'er?" ”

Xu Yunhua held back her tears, "Bao'er...... Bao'er's girl, relying on her martial arts skills and good skills, took advantage of the middle of the night to go out of the palace, privately meeting others, and even brought a lot of obscene things into the palace, this harem is a clean place, if those things spread, the consequences are unimaginable, in view of this, the concubine imprisoned her, I didn't expect that she also had a good girl, and wanted to take the blame for her, and now both of them are in Xinzhiku. The concubine thought that after the emperor returned to Beijing, she would make a decision. ”

Zhu Di closed his eyes, his face was full of grief and indignation, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yunhua, who was pale, as if looking at a stranger, "Bao'er went out of the palace to meet outsiders privately, and brought obscene things into the palace, and there was a little girl who wanted to take the blame for her......"

Xu Yunhua didn't understand what Zhu Di meant by repeating her words like this, so he nodded in agreement, "That's the case." ”

Zhu Di shook his head and glanced at Xu Yunhua fiercely, "Do you know who was the person who had a private meeting when Bao'er left the palace that night?" ”

Xu Yunhua's face changed slightly, and her body trembled, "That girl has a very tight mouth...... The concubine ordered someone to interrogate several times, but she refused to confide half a word. ”

Zhu Di sneered, and took out a somewhat wrinkled envelope from his arms, "Of course, those who have followed me will not be spineless. You keep saying that she went out to meet men privately, and if what you said is true, then the man she had a private meeting with is me, and this is what she gave out that night. ”

Xu Yunhua opened his mouth slightly, looked at the letter in Zhu Di's hand in disbelief, and then looked at me, his eyes were full of resentment, "You...... You...... You sent her out of the palace......"

Zhu Di sneered, "At this time, you still have to question the noble concubine, that's right, it was the powerful concubine who sent her out of the palace at the risk of death and sent me this letter for help, I want to ask you." How did you force her to find out about her obscenities? ”

Xu Yunhua was stunned, and his tone was not as rigid as Fang Cai, "Yes...... It was found from her. ”

"Did you find it, or did you stuff it yourself?" Zhu Di turned around and sat down on a chair.

Xu Yunhua fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she doesn't have the power to win your heart, now that Princess Jing'an is dead, the powerful concubine has a lot of complaints against me, and now you have listened to her accusation first, and the concubine's defense is redundant, so the concubine doesn't say anything, the merits are all decided by the emperor." ”

When Xu Yunhua first came in, Zhu Di may still be full of anger, but now, except for disappointment, there is no other emotion on his face, he waved his hand, "I have been married to you for more than 20 years, I have always respected you for being virtuous and wise, in the past, even if there were some small mistakes, I just laughed it off, but now, you are so vicious, Princess Jing'an is not yet a year old, not to mention whether she has anything to do with the plague and you, you just watch her sick, is your heart iron?" ”

Xu Yunhua must have thought that Zhu Di would lose his temper with her, but = even punishment, so before Zhu Di returned to the main palace, he hurried over, quibbling cleverly, hoping to seize a chance, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to be angry. But she knew in her heart that saying such disheartening words was actually more terrible than scolding her harshly, punishing her for grounding, or even punishing her to go to the cold palace. This disappointment can never be undone.

Xu Yunhua took a few breaths, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he was stumbling for a long time, but he only spit out two weak words, "Your Majesty ......"

"In your heart, in fact, my current identity is just an emperor, I know that you have not complained in your heart in recent years, and you feel that the husband and wife between us are indifferent, not as good as before. But think about it yourself, what kind of husband and wife relationship, it is not so much that I lost it first, but that you threw it first. ”

Xu Yunhua's eyebrows were a little lost, and he slowly sat down on the ground, "Your Majesty, do you hate me so far?" ”

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and brushed her cheek and took a deep breath, "I don't know what you did to the powerful concubine before, it's just that you forgot the relationship between husband and wife, I haven't forgotten, you have forgotten that you still have seven children, I haven't forgotten, I didn't expect this kind of tolerance to make you do such a conscientious thing, Princess Jing'an is the sister of your biological children, my biological daughter, and your nominal daughter, when you stretched out your black hand to her, didn't you think about it even the slightest?" ”

Xu Yunhua's body became softer and softer, and his face changed from red to pale, "No matter what the emperor says, the concubine will never admit that she has not done anything." The body of the concubine is at your disposal. ”

"You go back, don't appear in front of me these days, what to do with you, I think slowly."

Xu Yunhua opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything after all, she was helped up by the maid and walked out slowly, when she came in, she seemed to be calm and arrogant with a gust of wind, and now she seemed to be cramped.

I quietly looked at her back, since the crescent moon was buried, I haven't seen her again, and I don't want to look at her again, imagine that my last meeting with her should be in front of Zhu Di, each accusing, I must tell all her tricks and all her evil deeds, so that Zhu Di will immediately correct her.

But the reality is like this, except that we are in front of Zhu Di together, everything else is different from what I thought, she still has a noble and dignified shelf, I did not pour out the accusation that I silently read tens of thousands of times in my heart, although Zhu Di has the same insight into all the inside information, and did not immediately pull Xu Yunhua to the Fa-rectification and avenge his youngest daughter as I thought.

Reality and imagination will always be biased.

Since Xu Yunhua left, Zhu Di sat in his clothes, holding his forehead with only one hand, motionless, not knowing whether he was contemplating or sad.

But my heart is getting colder and colder, yes, he himself is right, he has not forgotten the relationship between husband and wife, nor has he forgotten their common children. He couldn't have gone to the mother of his other seven children for the sake of a child who died young, as I thought.

It turned out that I was too ignorant.

After a long silence, Zhu Di finally spoke, "Where is the crescent moon's grave?" ”

I gave him a cold look, "Are you going?" ”

Zhu Di's eyes were red, "I'll go see her." ”

I smiled suddenly, "You're going to confess to her in the Heavenly Spirit, right?" ”

Zhu Di raised his eyes, "Yes, I'm going to tell her I'm sorry, I'm a father, I didn't protect her well." ”

"I'm afraid you're sorry for more than that."

Zhu Di was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand my words.

"You still have to tell her, my father can't stand you, I can't do anything to your mother, after all, she is the mother of a country and the mother of your brothers and sisters......" I raised my eyebrows and asked Zhu Di, "Is that right?" ”<
