Nourishing the heart hall, warming the heart pavilion.

The dragon is fragrant, the smoke is ethereal and melodious, and it is condensed in a room.

Rosewood carved cloud dragon pattern throne, Emperor Hongjia is expressionless, sitting upright with his back, although he is old, but his eyes are like torches, showing his majesty. At this time, he was looking at Zhou Zhenwei, and only the prince, King Ping, and King Wu were sitting on the side in the room. The eunuchs and maids have all retired, and even Gonggong Li is waiting outside the door and is not allowed to enter.

After a while, the emperor spoke: "Zhou Shaoyin, King Ping sued me for me, you have already investigated the case of the queen and the queen, why don't you submit the case to me for review?" ”

Zhou Zhenwei knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said: "It will take half an hour for the case to be completed, but because of the urgency of the incident, the minister had to ask King Ping to face the saint early, and he has asked the holy decree to protect Chu Yuqiao's life!" ”

"Presumptuous! How dare you talk nonsense here. The prince said, "Who would want Chu Yuqiao's life?" Don't talk about it! ”

Zhou Zhenwei didn't seem to hear it, only stared at the emperor and said: "A few days ago, the minister met Princess Xinyang by chance, she had a lot of coercive words in her speech, she was only angry for a while, but she never thought that today she would ignore Chu Yuqiao's illness and be infirm, and forcibly enter the palace, the minister felt uneasy, and hoped that the emperor would send someone to check that she was okay!" ”

The emperor twisted his eyebrows, summoned Gonggong Li in, and ordered him to go to Princess Xinyang to bring Chu Yuqiao to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Gonggong Li immediately received the order and left, and only then did he look at it, and said impatiently: "I have acted as Zhou Shaoyin wanted. Aren't you still talking? ”

Zhou Zhenwei's expression was calm, and he thanked him before he said: "The queen's widow has been thoroughly investigated for a long time, and finally found a clue. In this case, no one harmed her, but the queen committed suicide and died! ”

As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked. Wu Wang stared widely, his thin lips were pursed, and his hands were clenched into fists, and he trembled all over. The prince's face turned white, he was furious, and he stood up and reprimanded: "Zhou Shaoyin is just nonsense! The queen mother is in the palace, she is loved by the queen mother, favored by the father, respected by the concubines, loved by all the people, good at governing the six palaces, and has the authority of the world. How could you have such a thought! If you don't investigate the case strictly, you will confuse people, and your father should punish him for the crime of bullying the king! ”

King Ping got up and said lightly: "Please also ask my father to listen to the beginning and end of this case, and then make a decision!" ”

"The crown prince and the martial king go out first!" The emperor suddenly shouted in a deep voice, although the two were unwilling, but they were intimidated by the emperor's authority, one was silent, the other muttered, got up and left helplessly.

"Zhou Shaoyin doesn't have to be taboo, just tell the truth!" The emperor's tone is gentle, and he is exempt from courtesy, and he can stand and return the courtesy!

Zhou Zhenwei's face did not change, and he said calmly: "Queen Wang is dignified and kind, smart and strong, but she is also sensitive and suspicious, and she is easy to think more. The case should start from 14 years ago, when the emperor was the prince. In order to accept her as a concubine, it took a lot of twists and turns, and rumors spread everywhere, although she was meaningless on the surface, she felt inferior, suspicious and worried. That's the curse. Fortunately, the emperor did not have a side concubine at that time, and only spoiled her alone, and often soothed her with gentle words, but she gradually let go of this thought, at least on the surface! ”

"You're right! She is indeed a character who buries all her grievances in her heart! The emperor didn't know what he thought, his expression was in a trance, and his eyes were full of obscurity.

Zhou Zhenwei paused, and said: "Soon the emperor ascended the throne, busy with court politics day and night, the harem is gradually full, and the queen is not as careful as before. ”

"Three palaces and six courts, emperors have been like this for generations, she should be used to it!" The Emperor's face was pained.

Zhou Zhenwei was noncommittal and continued: "The emperor treats the queen as before, but he also favors other concubines. Fortunately, she has the prince by her side, and she always raises her wholeheartedly, hoping that one day she will inherit the throne. But before she could think about it, the emperor praised other princes in front of her many times, directly reprimanded the prince for his lack of academic excellence, and even bluntly said that he wanted to set up another prince! ”

The emperor stroked his forehead with his hand, lowered his eyes and muttered: "That's just angry with the crown prince, and he was angry for a while." How could she be serious! ”

"Queen Wang naturally took it seriously! She was exhausted, and after thinking about it day and night, she decided that she was dead. She knew that the emperor favored the concubines and concubines the most, and the concubines were happy, and the princes bred by the concubines were the most loved by the emperor, so she was naturally regarded as a great enemy. Queen Wang took advantage of the emperor's hunting in April, but also when the cherries were ripe, picking a large number of cherries in the palace, the cherry kernels were poisonous, she pretended to keep the seeds as the reason, accumulated a lot, and then handed over to the clear wind to grind into powder, every. Take it in the day, and so on, until the last day, the plan takes shape, and in the future, by the hand of the emperor, you can get what you want. Concubine Rong's halva rose cake is no problem, and the concubine is also sincere in feeding the medicine. But these two people are extremely pitiful! The more Zhou Zhenwei spoke, the colder his heart became, and after a silent meeting, he finally said: "What did the queen do!" The emperor knew her last words, and that was what she wanted! ”

Yuqiao followed Gonggong Li before entering the Yangxin Palace, and saw the prince coming, and was very surprised to see her appearance!

"This is Princess Xinyang?" He was a little angry, his eyes burning, and he reached out to touch her cheek.

Yu Qiao hurriedly stepped back, turned his head to dodge, and said coldly: "Please respect yourself, prince!" ”

"Self-respect?" The prince looked at the woman in front of him who refused to be thousands of miles away, standing gracefully, like a clear lotus but not a demon, although her cheeks were swollen and red and greasy, she was weak and pitiful, and she went straight to people's hearts!

"Why can't I touch your face?" He whispered hatefully: "In the Imperial Garden years ago! ”

"Why does the prince always entangle?" Yuqiao frowned, and anger burned into his eyes: "The prince abandoned Yuqiao and ignored it for the sake of the imperial power. and choose Zhao Rurui as the crown princess, which will become a big gift in a few days. Now in front of Yuqiao, how can he be so righteous and arrogant, without any guilt? ”

The prince was stunned, and finally a little wolf, and said: "Yuqiao, don't hate me, because you can't give birth to children, otherwise how can I give you up?" But I have never abandoned you, I will accept you as a side concubine! ”

Yu Qiao laughed angrily, wanting to scold him with his head and face, and relieve the pain and suffering he had suffered in his previous life. However, she finally suppressed her anger, gradually calmed down, looked at him, and said in a resolute tone: "When the prince once allowed the princess Yuqiao three times and twice, Yuqiao never responded. Not to mention the side concubine! ”

She suddenly stopped talking. His eyes swept over his shoulders, and he looked softly somewhere, and the unstoppable spring water was rippling, and the waves were rippling. The lips are filled with pear nests, and the powder fragrance can't be hidden.

The prince was inexplicable, turned around and followed her gaze, only to see Zhou Zhenwei walking out of the Warm Heart Pavilion, seemingly calm and relaxed but full of spirits.

"You like that kind of rude person?" He was sour, and his tone was obscure.

Yu Qiao looked at him, his eyes strange and flat.
