Chapter 25: After the Abolition
The queens I see on weekdays are all dignified and elegant, and everyone has never seen her look like thunder and anger today, and they all secretly say that the queen is really angry nonsense.
If it weren't for Lang Zhong outside the palace who saved Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu was afraid that she wouldn't have survived today, how could this be her conspiracy?
"Ridiculous!" The emperor reprimanded: "It's really nonsense, will Concubine Shu risk her own life to harm you!" ”
The queen couldn't argue, "Wronged, the emperor, the concubine really didn't give Concubine Zhao poison......"
Concubine Zhao looked indifferent and said, "I knew that you would be wiped out, the poison was placed by me, and I couldn't escape punishment, whatever you say." ”
No matter how much he asked, he couldn't ask anything, and the emperor had a headache, "Come on, take them all down, no one is allowed to see them without my permission!" ”
This farce was finally over, and after the emperor left, a room of people did not dare to get up for a long time. Qin Leling can also be regarded as witnessing a huge palace feud, this plot is reincarnated, comparable to a brain-burning drama.
**
After taking the antidote, Concubine Shugui's poison was no longer a big problem, but she was poisoned twice and injured her body, and she has been asleep. Concubine Shu's sleeping face is soft and pitiful, does she know that there has been a falling out outside for her?
The emperor issued an edict to depose the queen for the crime of disturbing the court with the crime of failing in virtue, which shocked the government and the public. The minister's three letters were all knocked down, and no one dared to discuss it again. The queen was demoted to Zhuang Concubine and stayed in Zhao Concubine's Jardine Palace, but Zhao Concubine was beaten into the cold palace and never recalled.
After all, Concubine Zhao is the mother of King Han, and she is instructed by others, so she is not considered a mastermind, is this punishment too heavy?
The queen was deposed, and many ministers wrote to advise, but no one said a word for her from beginning to end, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the promoter of this incident, and no one cared about what kind of punishment she received.
Facing Qin Leling's doubts, Qin Muqing said: "Concubine Zhao is in a low position in the palace, and the emperor dislikes and even hates her, such a punishment is absolutely deserved in the eyes of the palace people. ”
On the day of the incident, Qin Leling also saw that the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Zhao was very different, and this difference was full of disgust, even if he didn't like it anymore, he couldn't treat his concubine so obviously.
But...... Qin Leling said to his senior brother: "Concubine Zhao is also a concubine, and her rank is not too low." ”
She used to watch palace fighting dramas, and those show girls stayed up for many years to get to the concubine position.
Qin Muqing shook her head, "Concubine Zhao, although she is a concubine, she is actually not as good as the palace maid in charge. The emperor's concubines all have titles, there is a queen, followed by a noble concubine. The concubines have virtuous, good, Shu, and virtuous, and the concubines have 12 titles, such as Duan, Zhuang, Hui, and Li, and there is no title of Zhao. Zhao should just be the surname of Concubine Zhao, I'm afraid that the emperor didn't give her a title, and she is a woman without a name. Her concubine is only the lowest title for a concubine who adds an heir to the royal family. ”
Listening to Senior Brother's tirade, Qin Leling was simply stunned, "Senior Brother, how did you know?" ”
Qin Muqing shrugged, "I read it in the library of the Hanlin Academy yesterday. ”
Qin Leling nodded vigorously, it seems that the senior brother's book for so many days has not been read in vain, and by the way, she has also increased her posture.
Outside the imperial study, under the scorching sun, there were two princes, the second son of the emperor Chu Jingcheng and the fifth son of the emperor Chu Jingye. Chu Jing inherited as the son of the queen, and came to plead for the queen mother. And Chu Jingye is a little complicated, with his adoptive mother on one side and his biological mother on the other, he is really entangled.
The two princes have similar facial features and body shapes, like a pair of twins, but they are like passers-by. Kneeling until noon, Gonggong Li walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looked at the two princes distressedly and said, "Two princes, please go back." The emperor said, no one will be seen today. ”
Neither of them spoke, still kneeling quietly. The sweat from the strong sun soaked my clothes, and I realized that summer was coming.
As the sun gradually turned west, the queen's palace maid Xiao Lian came to the door of the imperial study, bowed and whispered to Chu Jing: "Niangniang said that the wood has been completed, please go back to His Royal Highness King Sheng,"
Chu Jingcheng glanced at Chu Jingye beside him coldly, stood up and left.
In the imperial study, the emperor wrote a table full of calligraphy, and judging from the slightly messy notes, the emperor's heart was not quiet. Li Wenlan went out and came in again and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Sheng has left." ”
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What about Jing Ye?" ”
He ...... Still kneeling outside. ”
The emperor said lightly: "Concubine Zhao is his biological mother after all, let him kneel." ”
A drop of sweat ran from his forehead down his cheek, and he was about to drip when he was caught by a blue handkerchief.
It was Qin Leling, she handed the handkerchief to Chu Jingye and said, "Wipe it." ”
Chu Jingye looked at the handkerchief and didn't answer it.
Qin Leling sighed and said, "The matter of Concubine Shugui's poisoning is not something I sued the emperor. ”
Chu Jingye looked ahead with his eyes and said, "I know." ”
Originally, I wanted to persuade him not to kneel, the emperor would not come out, but looking at his determined eyes, Qin Leling threw the veil to him and left. The handkerchief is stained with the medicine she has concocted, which can reduce fatigue.
She didn't know why she wanted to help him, legend has it that people who are cold on the outside have a soft heart, and she may want to verify it and see what he is.
After not eating all day and kneeling in the sun for another day, Chu Jingye's consciousness became a little blurred. I can't help but laugh secretly that I'm really pampered, didn't I kneel often when I was a child?
My mother was never treated well by the emperor, and even the eunuchs and female officials with higher official positions dared to bully them, and it was not uncommon for them to be punished for kneeling for a day. Everyone forgets that he is actually a prince, and seeing him is more disgusting than seeing cats and dogs.
When he was five years old, his mother had a very high fever, and no one paid attention to them, so he had to run outside his father's imperial study and pray for his father to save his mother, and it was in this place that he knelt for a day and a night.
The father must have been very disgusted with his mother, so he wanted to let her mother fend for herself. That night, he knelt unconscious, only to wake up in a very warm bed.
A very beautiful lady who rescued him smiled warmly at him: "Which palace child are you, why haven't I ever seen you with Jin Fan?" ”
This lady is the current concubine, at that time she was not a concubine, and she was the most favored concubine of her father. No one else dared to take care of their affairs, but Concubine Shu dared to take care of it, and invited the imperial doctor to treat her mother.
When she went to the concubine's bedroom and saw that there was no palace maid, Concubine Shu couldn't help but be surprised: "How can a prince suffer such a grievance?" Then he immediately dialed two palace maids to serve his mother, and his eyes were full of pity.
At that time, he was thinking that God must have heard his prayers, so he sent a kind-hearted mother to save them, so that he could get the love and love of the concubine.
Concubine Shu had no children, so she asked her father to raise him. He likes Concubine Shu, but he doesn't want to leave his mother, but after his mother recovers, he doesn't want him anymore, and his eyes are full of coldness.
