Chapter 104: Truth
Compared with the noise and noise in the palace of the concubine, the palace of the queen mother is quiet and peaceful.
When he heard the queen mother snoring slightly, the emperor who was kneeling on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So...", he said, and when he looked up, he saw that the queen on the side was also asleep, holding her head with her hands slightly messed up her sideburns, and looking even more haggard.
The Emperor paused, pity in his eyes.
This queen who has been silent and sick for so many years, everyone in the palace will forget, even he himself will forget, the queen who has never been remembered when she is peaceful and happy, but she is silent and calm when she is in chaos and anxiety.
Some people are like this, they are dispensable when they are happy and happy, but when they are in trouble, they are the only ones who can accompany and help them.
The Emperor stretched out his hand and nudged it gently.
"Jing Rong, don't sleep here." He whispered.
The queen awoke suddenly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is rude," she said busily, and when she saw the sleeping Queen Mother, she hurriedly lowered her voice.
The Emperor waved at her.
"What's the rudeness, go back and rest for a while, it's been a night." He whispered.
The queen smiled and nodded.
"Yes, the concubine won't be able to hold on, and the concubine's body really can't stand it." She said.
It's not like other concubines who are tearful and firmly express that they want to stay up, what is their body, or they don't blink an eye when they die for the emperor and the queen mother, but the queen responded calmly and clearly said that she couldn't survive, but it made the emperor feel intimate and real.
That's what we mean by heart.
"If the concubine lies down again. What can Your Majesty do? The queen said. While getting up to help the Queen Mother put down the tent.
looked at her figure in front of the Queen Mother. The Emperor nodded.
"But the concubine won't go back, and she will rest in the Queen Mother's Palace, so it's easy to take care of." The empress said, getting up to see the emperor out, and at the same time admonishing, "Your Majesty, you might as well go to Concubine An's palace to rest." ”
In Concubine An's palace.
The Emperor's footsteps paused.
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that Concubine An is crying a lot now. His Majesty felt uncomfortable when he heard too much. The queen said softly, "It's just that the emperor doesn't go, it's not good, it's better like this, Your Majesty, you listen to the concubine, and you will rest directly after you go, so that although you don't need verbal words, it is enough for Concubine An to understand Your Majesty's care, Your Majesty, you rest, Concubine An will naturally not cry to you anymore." ”
She said this. Pulled the emperor's arm.
"At this time, the concubines are unwilling and reluctant to leave your majesty alone."
Oh, yes. When people are sad, they are more afraid of loneliness.
The Emperor looked at her and smiled and nodded, reaching out and patting her hand.
"I see." He said.
Turning to leave, the queen thought of something to hold him.
"Your Majesty, and let the Imperial City Division guard the palace gate." She said.
There were almost no secrets about the affairs of the Asari Palace, and the emperor naturally knew about it.
"This incident, whether it was an accident or not, is not a glorious thing." The queen said, "Don't let people laugh at us. ”
Jeer...
laughed at him, the old emperor who was half-cut into the ground, laughed at him that he still wanted to be old and new, and wanted to have a prince...
Look, now it's okay, let's rejoice in the air, shame on you......
The emperor's body stiffened slightly, and his hand hanging by his side was clenched.
"The queen is bothered, I know about this matter, and I have my own arrangements." He said.
The queen nodded with some relief, and stood in front of the palace gate to watch the emperor walk away.
"Niangniang, you can rest for a while." The interior on the side said respectfully.
The queen smiled.
"No, the palace has enough rest."
"I guessed wrong this time."
Chen Shao, who had returned from the court, said, while taking the tea from the maid.
"What did you guess wrong?" Mrs. Chen asked, waving her hand.
The maids in the house hurriedly withdrew.
"I guess the emperor's mood will be greatly affected." Chen Shao continued, "It seems that the emperor is in a good mood, at least not as in a trance like the previous times. ”
He paused at this point.
"I guess I'm used to it."
Mrs. Chen smiled, with a little disgust.
"How can anyone get used to this?" She said, "No matter how sad you are, you will be sad." ”
Chen Shao also knew that he was speechless, and picked up the tea bowl to eat tea to cover up.
"Eighteen Niang said that someone is causing trouble when the prince is gone this time." Mrs. Chen whispered.
Chen Shao's tea was a little choking.
"Eighteen mothers? When did she come? He asked, raising his eyebrows, "Is this kind of thing to be said nonsense, and it is enough for others to say it, but she is now walking in the court." ”
"No nonsense, it's not just about me." Mrs. Chen said busily.
Chen Banniang, who was talking to the sisters in the family, was called over.
"Father, how could I be talking nonsense." Chen Bainiang said, "This matter couldn't be clearer, if it wasn't for someone to make trouble, how could the palace suddenly be under martial law, how could the three of Concubine An and Empress Dowager and Concubine Niangniang all be sick and gone, father, I don't say it, you know it in your heart, and the world understands it in your heart." ”
Yes, the sudden action in the palace is like this, even if it is nothing, the world has to speculate about it.
No wonder the emperor's mood is not abnormal, because he has found a replacement.
This is not an accident, nor is it the guilt that God has given him, but someone is doing it, and finding the person who catches and punishes this troublemaker can replace his anger, grievances, unhappiness and disappointment, and he can face the unfortunate prince with a sense of relief, and face this unfortunate fact.
It's not his fault, it's all the fault of the people who do it, it's not providence, it's man-made disaster.
"In that case, the emperor will not give up this time without a result." He said slowly.
"That's natural, with such a clumsy trick. Take the life of the little prince. to blackmail the emperor. framed the concubine Niangniang, how can this kind of thing stop. Chen Ba Niang said.
Chen Shao looked at her.
"You mean, it's Concubine An?" He said with a frown.
"Father, do you need to talk about that?" Chen Banniang said.
Chen Shao shook his head.
"Not everybody's got to think that way." He said.
"Father, it would be stupid not to think so." Chen Banniang said, "This kind of trick is too clumsy. ”
Chen Shao nodded.
"yes, because this trick is so clumsy."
What does this mean?
Chen Banniang frowned and wanted to speak. A small servant outside the door hurriedly ran in, and said a few words in Chen Shao's ear, and Chen Shao's face changed.
"What's wrong again?" Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked.
"Gao Lingbo asks to see the emperor." Chen Shao said.
"Lord Gao should see that the concubine was slandered and planted by this." Chen Ba Niang nodded and said.
Chen Shao smiled.
"Gao Lingbo asked to see not because the concubine had been slandered and framed like this, but because this trick was too clumsy." He said.
"Father," Chen Banniang shouted.
Chen Shao interrupted her first.
"The Emperor allowed him to see him, and." He said, looking at Mrs. Chen.
When her husband saw her, Mrs. Chen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, faintly expecting something.
No way...
"And the emperor summoned Cheng Niangzi at the same time." Chen Shao said.
Cheng Niangzi!
Chen Banniang sat up straight.
"What did she summon her for?" She was surprised and asked, "Does this matter have anything to do with her?" ”
"What does this have to do with her?" Mrs. Chen said busily. "There are so many sick people in the palace, it's for her to diagnose them."
That's also true....
Silence in the house. But everyone's mind is still a little restless.
No matter what it is for, so this matter still has something to do with this Cheng Niang...
It's really....
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but raise her hand and gently slapped her mouth.
Gao Lingbo, who got out of the carriage and stepped into the palace gate, stopped and looked at the woman in front of him who was being inspected by the forbidden army of the imperial city by a small chamberlain.
"Mrs. Cheng."
He called, quickening his pace to follow.
Cheng Jianniang turned around and looked at Gao Lingbo.
"Cheng Niangzi, the old man came back to Beijing to see you, but I didn't expect this delay to meet here." Gao Lingbo smiled and raised his hand to salute.
Cheng Jianniang bowed down and returned the salute.
"Although it is not solemn enough, the old man still sincerely apologizes first." Gao Lingbo said, saluting again.
"Don't dare, and haven't been, how can I apologize." Cheng Jianniang said, smiled slightly, and returned the salute again.
Because Gao Lingbo and Cheng Niangzi are not ordinary people, the attendant who led the way did not dare to scold them not to speak, but reminded them with a smile and a little flattery.
"Lord Gao, Mrs. Cheng, Your Majesty is still waiting."
Gao Lingbo smiled and nodded.
"Mrs. Cheng, the old man will come to visit you another day." He said.
Cheng Jianniang responded, and the two continued to move forward one after the other.
Soon arrived in front of the Qinzheng Palace, Gao Lingbo couldn't help but turn around again, and when he saw that the lady Cheng behind him was also standing still, he frowned slightly.
Didn't this Cheng lady come to the harem to diagnose those women? Why did you come here?
"Cheng Niangzi, you..." he opened his mouth to ask, and the door of the temple here opened.
"Your Majesty, please."
Neili walked out of the chamberlain and said.
Gao Lingbo had no choice but to retract his words and go in.
Perhaps, it is to wait for the emperor to go to the harem together, so that the emperor can personally watch the diagnosis more assured.
Entering the Qinzheng Palace, the corner of Gao Lingbo's eyes swept over, and he felt a little strange about this place after he had only been away for a few months.
It can be seen that people are very forgetful.
This is a good thing and a bad thing, things in the world are always like this, blessings and misfortunes depend on you, it depends on your own choices.
Gao Lingbo looked at the emperor sitting on it and saluted.
"Your Majesty, the minister shouldn't have come."
Gao Lingbo sighed and said.
Yes, such a clumsy trick, such an obvious means of framing and framing, if he still came to the emperor and shouted grievances in a panic, it would be simply an insult to the emperor.
However, the news from the palace is becoming more and more wrong.
The concubine was indeed locked up, and the emperor still slept in Concubine An's palace. The Queen Mother did not see outsiders. The news in the palace was disconnected inside and out.
The most important thing is that the people of the Imperial City Division are still moving around.
It seems that the emperor has the intention to take this clumsy thing seriously.
The emperor favored the unborn prince too much. It's not so much about pampering this prince as it is about pampering himself, and what Concubine An has in her belly is not just a prince, but the hope of the emperor.
Everyone has, and an emperor has more desperate hopes.
Be healthy and live a long life.
This trick is too clumsy, and the clumsy one has no fear, as if everyone in the world is regarded as blind and stupid. Reliance is the hope of the emperor.
“… Your Majesty, you are guilty of it, Your Majesty is too gracious to the little prince. Gao Lingbo said.
As soon as these words came out, the attendants on the side looked at them with some surprise.
Is Tall Lady crazy?
How dare you speak like that.
The emperor looked at Gao Lingbo, obviously surprised.
"According to what Master Gao said, the little prince was killed by me." He said with a smirk.
Since Gao Lingbo came in, it confirmed the news he heard, the emperor was really calm and calm, calm and calm, not like a normal father who lost his son.
This kind of calmness is not a good thing, he Gao Lingbo does not want to see the calm emperor. He wanted to see the angry emperor, and at least anger would make the emperor's mind more active. Instead of walking along the path set by others like this.
"Could it be that with my grace, Concubine An gave up a prince to frame the concubine? What is she trying to do? The emperor sneered and said, "Can she get a more noble status if she harms the concubine?" What's the use of getting a more honorable status without a prince! With this prince here, she will be honored in the palace all her life, without this prince, what will happen to her in this palace in the end, isn't she as clear as you, a man outside the palace? ”
The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became, reaching out to caress the cases in front of him, and almost standing up.
This is not enough.
Gao Lingbo possessed and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, it really shouldn't be, Concubine An has a deep hatred with her mother, and she won't use her life's net worth to do such a stupid thing, so this matter is strange." He said, paused and raised his head, "Your Majesty, has Concubine An been diagnosed by a few imperial doctors when she is pregnant with a prince?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the attendants on the side were no longer surprised, but shocked.
Tall is crazy!
There was a snap, and the emperor stood up with a few cases.
"Gao Lingbo, are you saying that I can't give birth to a son at all, and all this is a trick played by Concubine An in collusion with others?" He stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Lingbo and shouted.
He knew, he knew, these people were laughing at him, all waiting to see his jokes, all saying that he couldn't give birth to a son.
Did they see it, did they see it, they didn't say it in their hearts, but said it to their faces with confidence.
Gao Lingbo didn't have the slightest fear and leaned over.
"Your Majesty, so the minister said that he was guilty, and he must be very good at the top, and the minister was afraid that someone would speculate on His Majesty's intentions and play tricks to deliberately deceive His Majesty." He said loudly, while looking up again, looking at the emperor with a burning expression, "Your Majesty, how many people were diagnosed at that time and said that they were the princes?" Which ones? What do the other doctors say? ”
How many imperial doctors have diagnosed the pulse and said that it was the prince?
The emperor couldn't help but think, how many people are there? There's only one of them...
The concubines in the palace are cautious and cautious, and they all have their own fixed and customary imperial doctors....
Once this doctor is diagnosed, they will not change easily....
"Your Majesty, how many imperial doctors said? Can there be an inquest in the hospital? Can the pulse record be checked? ”
Gao Lingbo's voice sounded again, and the question became more and more aggressive, knocking on the emperor's ear one by one.
How many doctors say? A doctor said...
Can the hospital have an inquest demonstration? No, he was overjoyed when he heard it, and he didn't go to any inquest at all...
Don't....
No, no, what was he thinking! What was he thinking!
"Nonsense, nonsense!" The emperor was furious, and took a few steps down the stairs and stretched out his hand to point at Gao Lingbo and shouted.
It was the first time for such an angry emperor's chamberlains, and they couldn't help but be frightened.
What about nonsense? He didn't come in to see the emperor to explain and intercede to get rid of his crimes, jokes, where did the concubine use explanations to intercede, let alone sin.
He just came to make the emperor sober up, and by the way, provoke some more suspicions, even a little suspicion, it was enough.
Gao Lingbo smiled in his heart, looking at the angry gaffe emperor without the slightest fear.
What is there to be afraid of?
Such a stupid and clumsy trick can also make such a solemn fuss, it seems that His Majesty is really confused, and needs to sober up.
