Chapter 15 Concubine Lin plotted to seize the imperial heir
"I've looked into it. Regarding what happened at the queen's birthday banquet, Yan Shunren faked her pregnancy in order to blame Concubine Ling and deliberately colluded with the imperial doctor, and caused the death of the imperial doctor, and the palace maid Jin'er also died because of it, and Concubine Ling's palace maid Scarlet Dong was also framed and died with a knife in her chest, and the dancing girl who was assassinated that day was also bought by her and threatened her family's life. The emperor finished his words in one go, but he thought that Concubine Ling was very grateful to him, but all of his eyes were full of disbelief. Yes, how could the emperor tell her that the real murderer was someone else.
The emperor said: "The case is still under investigation, don't have any private dealings with anyone recently, including Qing Shuyi." She has children, so she should be more careful. I will send Huaxin to protect you, Huaxin is a disciple of Ling's seniors, and you should be very familiar with her.
Yes, Huaxin is a disciple of my father. Concubine Ling Fufu: "Since the emperor has made arrangements, the concubines have thanked the emperor." "Since it's a grounding, why not be so pretentious.
The emperor didn't wipe his senses, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Zhengtai Hall.
Looking at the majestic king on the dragon throne, this king had just told her that she was going to protect a concubine, and she didn't know whether to be jealous or envious, but as a maid she could only agree, just because he was the supreme king. She was accustomed to looking up to him, but she couldn't walk with him.
This sense of loss is very uncomfortable. It's me who really loves him. Love is a terrible feeling for her.
August is here again.
The golden osmanthus was fragrant, Concubine Ling stood under the osmanthus tree, looking at those wonderful flowers, remembering that Yanshun people also entered the palace at this time, although she was dead, but she still felt that there were many Yanshun people in this palace.
Scarlet Winter is also dead, she is an orphan, who can remember this girl. She thinks she is not a good person, but she is not hard-hearted, Scarlet Winter is buried on Chaoyun Mountain, where there are maple leaves she likes, and now she should be happy.
A burst of footsteps came, it was a beauty wearing a finch blue palace dress, her skin was like clotted fat, round and jade, without too much decoration, a tassel peacock hairpin was inserted in the fallen horse bun, lined with hair like ink, and the long tassel hung down to the shoulder, if there are shoulder tassels on both sides, it is the imperial concubine, at this time she is no longer qualified to wear the shoulder tassel, this woman is naturally Concubine Lin. This gorgeous palace robe is embroidered with red peony, which is very gorgeous.
"Sister is there too?" Seeing Concubine Ling, Qiao Molan was slightly distracted, she hadn't seen Concubine Ling lose a lot of weight for a long time, and her originally plump body was now a little delicate.
Concubine Ling was blessed to ask for peace, Qiao Molan was stunned for a moment, and held Concubine Ling's arm: "Sister Ling, what is this doing, our sisters are a family, although your position is low at this time, but you may be able to reset one day, and then my sister will have to rely on my sister's protection." ”
What he said is both true and false. Concubine Ling said: "What Niangniang said there, Niangniang's golden branches and jade leaves, there is the emperor's favor, how can you let the concubines bless you, the concubines are grateful to Niangniang for taking care of them." ”
"In this way, our sisters are divided, and it is right for my sister to take care of my sister. In the past, it was a last resort to let my sister embroider auspicious clothes, and my sister should not be surprised. Originally, my sister wanted to make the emperor have more blue eyes for her sister on the day of canonization, but I didn't expect Yanshun to be in the limelight, which was really unexpected. ”
Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Fortunately, Yanshun people are dead, maybe there will be some turbulent waves." ”
Concubine Lin patted her chest and looked afraid: "Yanshun people want to blackmail her sister, it's not once or twice." At this point, he stopped. Then Concubine Lin smiled and said casually: "Don't talk about her, it's really unlucky." ”
Concubine Ling didn't say anything when she saw that Concubine Lin was halfway through, but she didn't have any doubts, but said: "Niangniang is plumper than before, but it is the holy favor that makes Niangniang more and more full." ”
Concubine Lin said with a smile: "Where is it, now the emperor is fond of Qing Shuyi, and he hasn't been to his sister's Zhaoyang Palace for a while, but although the emperor dotes on Qing Shuyi, Qing Shuyi's children can't be kept." ”
Concubine Ling was startled and hurriedly asked why.
Concubine Lin is full of ambition, she seems to like Concubine Ling's curious spirit very much, Concubine Ling's expression has always been dignified and elegant, which is unpredictable, and now she also looks at her and asks, and she is also very leisurely: "When the time comes, the proud Qing Shuyi will beg to let her adopt." My mother went to the palace to tell my sister that Qing Shuyi's father was no longer a general of the chariot cavalry. Her father lost the battle in front because of the delay of the war, the entire Liang fell into crisis, and the Qi State in the north was eyeing them, if they were allowed to bypass Yunmeng Mountain, then the imperial capital would be in danger. Qing Shuyi, this child, can only be used as a weight to protect herself. ”
Concubine Ling pondered deeply, the Yao family was very important in the previous dynasty, not to mention that Qing Shuyi's father was a chariot general, and her grandfather was also a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and he was also an emperor. When the emperor moved the Yao clan, didn't he make the soldiers mutiny, which is very bad, and changing generals before the battle is not a very good method.
"If that's the case, you should congratulate Concubine Lin on getting her wish." Concubine Ling smiled lightly, naturally wrapped around her body, Concubine Lin smiled faintly: "Thank you, sister." ”
Concubine Xuan was a little uneasy.
Why is Concubine Lin so sure.
Concubine Ling went to Qing Shuyi's dormitory, although Qing Shuyi is favored now, but because her father was dismissed, her current situation is not much better, and there is only the big girl around Qing Shuyi in the palace.
Qing Shuyi saw Concubine Ling coming and said, "My sister hasn't come to see her sister for a long time, and now she is a rare guest." After finishing speaking, she sat up from the bed, and the maid put a soft pillow behind her, and Concubine Ling touched her hand, which was indeed cold.
"My sister has worked hard." Put your hand in the quilt and tuck the corners of the quilt, very carefully.
"Now that my father has an accident, I can't do anything, I can't plead for my father, it's because of unfilial piety." Yao Tingfei lowered her head and sobbed quietly, Concubine Ling couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "It's good to keep the imperial heir now, you should pay attention to your body, don't be too sad and affect the imperial heir." The emperor's sister will help you intercede, maybe there is room to turn around. ”
Qing Shuyi shook her head: "What is the turning point now, I heard that Concubine Lin has already wanted to adopt her sister's child, which is also good." ”
Concubine Ling looked at her bulging abdomen, but she couldn't say anything, explained something, and left.
Hearing that Concubine Ling went to Qing Shuyi's dormitory and came to Zhengtai Hall again, the emperor couldn't help sighing. My instructions are all useless, this woman is still so nosy. Losing the position of the imperial concubine, not to mention coming to this troubled water, I don't know how thick the sky is, I hope my son will not follow his mother.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." Qing Yue's voice was very empty in the empty hall.
"Didn't I let you think about it behind closed doors in the Chengqian Palace? Or Concubine Ling herself resisted the decree and came to see me in private. The emperor rubbed his temples, "I already know the purpose of your visit, you are interceding for the general of the chariot, and you are not thinking about my two sons?" ”
"The concubine asked the emperor to retract his order, the general of the chariot and cavalry is really not suitable to lead the troops because of his age, but the two armies are fighting, and changing generals before the battle is a taboo for soldiers. Therefore, the concubine begged the emperor not to touch the Yao family. Concubine Ling knelt down and fell to the ground.
There was a strange atmosphere, no one spoke first, and Concubine Ling didn't dare to raise her head.
"Didn't Concubine Ai forget the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is my Ah Xuan?!" The emperor's voice suddenly increased, and his power was immediate.
"It is precisely because the concubine is not only the emperor's concubine, but also the emperor's Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan can't gallop for the emperor, but is willing to share the emperor's worries and solve problems, and beg the emperor to take back his life." Concubine Ling straightened up and said, looking at her unhurried appearance, he began to think that this woman must have been instigated by Qing Shuyi, and he was worried
"Qing Shuyi is now difficult to protect her heirs, and it is really not easy to say that Concubine Ling is begging." The emperor said.
"Qing Shuyi is a rare woman in the palace, and she has the righteousness of sisters with her concubines, and if the concubine's meager strength can be taken care of, it can be regarded as returning her heart to take care of the concubine. Concubine Lin intends to raise Qing Shuyi's child. Concubine Ling said.
The emperor was a little puzzled, I don't know why Qiao Molan is so keen on the matter of the heir, the queen mother must have told her something.
