Chapter 179: Defeat (I)
The queen couldn't help but scold: "What nonsense are you talking about? What unspeakable things has Hongu done?!"
Mu Qing ignored the queen's reprimand, wiped the tears on his face, and continued: "Your Majesty, what the concubine said is true. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been distressed day and night since he moved into the Middle Palace, he doesn't think about tea and food, and he is clamoring to see the concubine all day long. The second prince is just a child, how can he withstand this toss, so he naturally fell ill after a few days, and until now he has a high fever that does not go away, and he has no consciousness. β
Liang Yinhao saw that Mu Qing said it sincerely, not as if he was lying, turned his head to look at the queen, and asked, "Queen, what Concubine Chen said is true?" β
The queen swore and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Concubine Chen's nonsense, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been fine these days, and he hasn't even sneezed for half a day, so why is he terminally ill?" Where did Concubine Chen hear the rumors?"
"Rumors?! Queen Mother, do you think that if you block this news, you will be foolproof? Don't forget, mother, you just can't contain the fire. The second prince fell ill, and after learning about this, Concubine De asked several times to see and take care of the second prince, but the queen mother refused. That's it, after all, Concubine De is a guilty body and is not allowed to leave the palace, but Niangniang, you can't hide the news of the second prince's serious illness together? β
"It's just outrageous! When did De Concubine make such a request?! The queen snapped angrily, her fists clenched to suppress her anger. The queen took another deep breath, not letting herself lose her posture, and said coldly: "Concubine Chen shouldn't have heard these news from Concubine De, right?" I heard that these days, only Concubine Chen went to the cold palace to see Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen, you have to know that the current Concubine is crazy, and she can't even recognize people, and Concubine Chen also believes what such a madman said? Isn't that naΓ―ve! β
In the face of the other party's ridicule and allusions, Mu Qing's expression was as calm as water, and she was not affected by the other party's emotions at all, she calmly responded: "The concubine saw that Concubine De was pitiful, and everyone was once a sister, so the concubine did go to the cold palace to visit Concubine De a few times. But every time Concubine De was very conscious, and she was not as crazy as the outside world said. And this matter was indeed told to the concubine by Concubine De at first, but the concubine did not doubt the queen mother just by listening to Concubine De's words. However, after all, this matter involves the children of the royal family, and it should not be treated sloppily, so the concubine also asked someone to inquire about the news from the Internal Affairs Office, but the news she got was not much different from what the concubine said. β
Speaking of this, Liang Yinhao's face had begun to turn a little blue, and a pair of sword eyebrows were tightly twisted together. Mu Qing knew that Liang Yinhao had doubts in his heart, and continued: "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Second Prince was really ill, and the queen not only did not notify the hospital and the emperor, but also intended to secretly hide this matter. β
The queen couldn't help but be a little anxious at this time, and also knelt down in front of Liang Yinhao, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty! The concubine is wronged! Not to mention that the second prince is fine now, even if the second prince is really sick, how can people eat grains and grains without getting sick, why should the concubines hide the illness of the second prince? Doesn't it all make too much sense? β
Liang Yinhao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he felt that the queen's words were not wrong. Even if the second prince is really sick, the queen has no reason to hide it!
But when Liang Yinhao hesitated, Mu Qing opened his mouth to explain: "Queen Mother, the concubine knows that you have always wanted a child, you are afraid that the emperor will blame you for the second prince's illness, and you are also afraid that the second prince will have a relationship with you after seeing the concubine, but even so, you can't ignore the second prince's body because of this!" β
Mu Qing seemed to be persuading the queen, but the deep meaning of his words was to answer the emperor's doubts, explain the real reason why the white queen did this, and deepen the emperor's suspicion of the queen.
"Concubine Chen really has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and even black can be said to be white!" The queen knew that she couldn't say anything about Concubine Chen, so she could only hate itchy, and gritted her teeth and said, "Since you and I can't say clearly, it's better to let the facts speak!" β
The queen looked at Liang Yinhao and said abruptly: "Your Majesty, the concubines are self-purifying, and they have never done anything against their conscience. I also asked the emperor to move to the palace of the concubines and personally check the situation of the second prince, and the truth will naturally be revealed! β
Liang Yinhao heard that the queen offered to let him go to check on Liang Kun, so he nodded in agreement, this is indeed the fastest and most accurate way to solve the problem now. When Liang Yinhao and the queen hurriedly walked in the direction of the middle palace, they didn't notice Mu Qing's sly and evil smile behind them.
As soon as Liang Yinhao stepped into the queen's bedroom, he directly ordered the palace maid to bring the second prince out, but the palace maid seemed to suddenly stop talking, and couldn't say a word for a long time. Liang Yinhao's heart sank, as if he had foreseen a bad sign in his heart. He pushed away the silent little palace maid, and walked straight towards the inner room without saying a word, and sure enough, in the inner room of the side hall, he saw the second prince lying motionless on the bed, and his cheeks were flushed because of the excessive body temperature.
Liang Yinhao's chest suddenly became angry, looked at the queen gloomily, and asked coldly: "What's going on with the queen?!" Didn't you just say that the second prince can run and jump, and his body is very good? Is that such a good method?! β
The queen looked at the second prince on the bed in disbelief, and the fear on her face was clearly visible. She shook her head violently and muttered, "This... That's impossible! When the concubine left just now, His Royal Highness was still fine, he was still awake, how could he fall ill all of a sudden? β
Mu Qing snorted proudly and reprimanded: "It's all this time, does Niangniang continue to lie?" β
The queen tugged at Liang Yinhao's sleeve with tears in her eyes, and explained unwillingly: "No! Your Majesty, the second prince was really good just now, and these eunuchs and palace maids in the palace of the concubines can testify! β
When the little palace maid beside the queen saw this situation, her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to speak. At this time, it was the experienced grandmother beside the queen who took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, Your Highness suddenly fell ill and had a high fever. The slaves and maids just wanted to go to the Qinzheng Palace to inform the queen, but they didn't expect the emperor and the mother to come back, and the slaves and maids failed to take care of His Royal Highness the second prince, and asked the emperor to punish him! β
"You are all the queen's mother, the queen said that the second prince fell ill suddenly, who dares to go against the queen's will?!" Mu Qing said lukewarmly, his indifferent expression was as cold as winter. (To be continued.) )
