Chapter 114: The Catastrophe of the Middle Palace

Except for Fu Qizheng and Chen Xiying, most of the people present were amazed.

"Shu Ronghua, what do you mean by this, why can't the queen raise Prince Lingrui." The Queen Mother asked.

Chen Xi said sonorously: "Because the queen is the murderer who killed the child's mother, how can the prince recognize the murderer as his mother." ”

Emperor Yuan was shocked: "What did you say?" ”

When the queen heard this, she was furious: "Shu Ronghua, you dare to slander this palace? ”

"If the concubine has no evidence, she will definitely not dare to slander the queen." Chen Xiying was upright, and looked at Emperor Yuan again, "Back to the emperor, after the Yin family was taken away from the position of the concubine and moved to Yuming Palace, the dietary decoction was prepared by the queen and the queen mother, so Yin's diet and decoction were all involved in things that made the mother weak, so that Yin's body was weak on the day of delivery, and he died of blood when he gave birth to the prince." ”

Emperor Yuan was shocked: "Is there any evidence for what you say?" ”

"The person who decocted the medicine for Yin's was sent to Yuming Palace by the queen, and after the medicine was decocted in Yuming Palace for Yin's to take, all the medicine jars and dregs would be taken away, but on the day of Yin's birth, due to the chaos of the situation, the people sent by the queen also had to go into the delivery room to help, so no one took care of the dregs of the day, and the minions of Yuming Palace collected them and put them aside, and the concubines went to visit Yin's and found the remaining dregs, plus they heard from the minions of Yuming Palace that the dregs were collected by the queen in the past, and Yin died of dystocia that day. The concubine had to dare to suspect that it was man-made, so she summoned the imperial doctor to come and see the dregs, only saying that she had found a home remedy, who knew that the imperial doctor actually told the concubine that the concubine should not let a pregnant person like the concubine take it, if the emperor did not believe it, let the imperial doctor say. ”

Imperial Physician Du then entered the room and saluted: "The ministers see the emperor." ”

"Imperial Doctor Du, what is added to the medicine that Yin's is taking?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't know that the medicine was taken by Yin Changzai at first, when Shu Ronghua asked the minister to see, the minister found that there were stone chestnuts and five elements grass in it, and the pregnant woman took it when it was dangerous and abnormal, so he told the concubine that this home remedy Ronghua concubine could not take it." Dr. Du replied.

Emperor Yuan asked: "So, Yin's dystocia is related to this medicine?" ”

"The Five Elements Grass has the effect of giving birth, Yin Chang is already weak, if he is forcibly born, he is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious."

"That doesn't prove that the queen added this harmful thing to Yin's medicine, someone must have wanted to frame the mourning family and the queen, Shu Ronghua, you dare to frame the mourning family and the queen."

"The concubine is sure, naturally there is a witness, and that is the Yin family's maid Xianglan."

Xianglan then walked into the hall: "The slave and maid see the emperor, and the emperor must be the master of Yin and the little prince." ”

Chen Xiying looked at Xianglan and said, "Xianglan, tell me how the queen bribed you to harm the Yin family." ”

"Your Majesty, the queen mother once asked the slave maid to give the master to drink the water boiled by the stone chestnuts, and the slave maid also saw the decoction of the person add the stone chestnuts to it, the slave and the maid only knew that the stone chestnuts were edible, but they didn't know that this thing was harmful to people, until the master died unexpectedly, Shu Ronghua found out everything, and the slave and maid knew that it was the slave who harmed the master, and it was the slave who harmed the little prince." Xianglan cried.

The queen pointed at Xianglan and reprimanded: "You are talking nonsense, this palace is handed over to Xiaohe, when you will be asked to go, this palace has never seen you at all." As soon as these words came out, it was difficult to recover from the water.

Nian Jin'an whispered in Fu Qizheng's ear: "Xianglan, this maid is also smart, she did what Niangniang ordered, and she really forced the queen to tell the truth." ”

Chen Xiying raised her lips and said: "This is what the mother said, come and bring Xiaohe up." ”

Xiao He was escorted into the hall and secretly glanced at Fu Qizheng.

Fu Qizheng nodded slightly.

"You are the truth." Chen Xiying said coldly.

"It was the queen mother who asked the slave maid to go to Yuming Palace to serve Yin Changzai and boil water for Yin Changzai's decoction, and it was also the queen mother who asked the slave maid to add stone chestnuts to Yin Changzai's meal, and add five elements of grass to the decoction, and afterwards to bring the medicine residue back to the queen mother for the mother to check, and what the slave said was true."

"What else does the queen have to say, although the Yin family is guilty, I haven't decided yet, but you want her life first." Emperor Yuan was already furious.

The Queen Mother hugged Ling Rui and staggered back two steps, but fortunately Xia Luan was sorry to hold on.

Chen Xiying looked at the Queen Mother again and said, "The Queen Mother won't be unaware of this matter." ”

The queen suddenly knelt in front of Emperor Yuan: "Your Majesty, everything is the idea of the concubine, and it is the Yin family calculated by the concubine, and it has nothing to do with the queen mother." ”

"Mi'er." The Queen Mother was stunned.

"The queen mother, it's all the son's fault, it's the son's jealousy of the Yin family, so ......"

"The queen really impresses me." Emperor Yuan's words were extremely cold.

The queen begged: "All the mistakes are the fault of the concubines, the queen mother doesn't know, how the emperor punished the concubines, the concubines all admit it." ”

The Queen Mother handed Ling Rui over to Xia Luan, looked at Emperor Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, the queen is the master of the harem, this matter is not trivial, someone must want to frame the queen." ”

"She has admitted it herself, and the queen mother still wants to excuse her?"

The Queen Mother immediately said: "Your Majesty, Mi'er is a little arrogant, but it's ......"

"What does my sister mean, is the queen's own confession of guilt also false?"

The voice came, and everyone looked at the door, and the palace maid was standing in front of the door with a woman dressed in a dark purple palace dress.

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Concubine Wei, why are you here." ”

The concubines in the palace then got up and owed to Concubine Wei.

"Who is this Concubine Wei, how have we never seen it since we entered the palace."

"Concubine Wei is the mother of Prince Ke, Prince Ke has been on the border all the year round, but Concubine Wei has lived in the deep palace for a long time and rarely shows up." Su Jingyun, Liang Ling'er and other concubines discussed.

Concubine Wei saluted the Queen Mother: "Sister." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly realized and glared at Chen Xiying: "It turned out to be Shu Ronghua, you ......"

"Xi Ying is a good boy who knows right from wrong, the queen is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Shu Ronghua is not afraid of the queen's power, and stands up to avenge the Yin family and the little prince, is there a second person in this palace who dares to do this? Although the Yin family is guilty, the emperor did not condemn him to death, and the queen is so careless about human life. Concubine Wei said.

"The concubine is also the one who wants to be a mother, I heard that Yin's dystocia that day, the concubine sympathized and went to visit, who knew this, Yin's death was wrongful, the little prince lost his mother is even more pitiful, and the concubine can't bear it." Chen Xiying burst into tears.

Concubine Wei sighed: "Shu Ronghua is just a concubine, it should be even more difficult to become the first queen, not to mention that the queen has the protection of the queen mother, and the mourning family is afraid that the queen mother's sister will wholeheartedly protect the queen, so that it is difficult for the Yin family to be clear under the nine springs, and it makes Shu Ronghua and the concubines of the harem who are righteous and insistent cold." ”

Emperor Yuan then said: "The concubine is too worried, if what Shu Ronghua said is true, the queen is guilty, and I should deal with it according to the law." ”

Concubine Wei said again: "Your Majesty, since the queen has confessed, the truth has been revealed, and I hope that the emperor will make a decision impartially." ”

"Your Majesty, the queen is the mother of a country, you must not deal with it easily, you should be cautious, first grounded the queen in the palace, and then send it down." The Queen Mother persuaded.

Concubine Wei was naturally dissatisfied with this kind of treatment: "Queen Mother, the queen is immoral, and the grounding is too hasty. ”

"The mourning family said that they would be grounded first and the princes and ministers would discuss before making a decision, what else would Concubine Wei do, do you want the emperor to immediately issue an order to abolish the queen?" The Queen Mother was already in a hurry.

"The Queen Mother doesn't want to ......" Chen Xiying said impulsively and bluntly, and immediately sat on the ground with a heartfelt belly, sweat like beads, and her expression was abnormally painful.

Concubine Hua Guifei hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Xiying, and exclaimed: "The emperor and the queen mother, Shu Ronghua is afraid that she has a tire." ”

Emperor Yuan hurriedly said: "Someone is coming, send Shu Ronghua back to the palace as soon as possible, and pass it on to the imperial doctor." ”

"Haunting." Concubine Wei was worried.

The hall was already in chaos, the concubines were startled, snickering, Ling Yu was also frightened, hugged Fu Qizheng tightly, Fu Qizheng touched his head lightly.

Chen Xiying was then sent back to the dormitory, and Concubine Hua also followed. The hall fell silent for a moment, and the crowd was silent.

"The queen was grounded in the dormitory and not allowed to visit, and the middle palace note was immediately stopped, waiting for the delivery."

"Your Majesty." The queen knelt down and bowed, crying for a long time.

Although the queen mother was heartbroken, she had no room for maneuver, so she had to do so for the time being, so she personally helped the queen up and sent the queen back to the palace.

Looking at the backs of the queen mother and the queen slowly walking out of the palace, Fu Qizheng naturally knew that the queen's grounding was to keep the back position temporarily, and then the queen mother was afraid that she would go to the court to work around for the queen to keep the queen's phoenix crown, but the middle palace note had stopped, and the right to govern the palace was about to fall.

Another good show ended, Emperor Yuan went to Wanfu Palace to visit Chen Xiying, Fu Qizheng took Ling Yu to the snow flat, let Liu Yi and Shui Mist accompany Ling Yu to play in the snow, Fu Qizheng sat aside and watched them play.

"Niangniang, Xiaohe's family slaves and maids have sent someone to settle down and take care of them, and they will not let the Queen Mother find them." Nian Jinan said.

Fu Qizheng took a sip of tea and nodded: "Since the palace promised to ensure the safety and prosperity of her family, naturally she will not break her word, and that Concubine Wei's ability is not small, I heard that Imperial Doctor Du was recommended by her to take care of Shu Ronghua, and now it seems that she is really loyal, and even dares to testify for Shu Ronghua as the first queen. ”

Ling Yu walked up to Fu Qizheng with a snowball in his hand: "Aya Niangniang, this is for you." ”

Fu Qizheng smiled kindly: "Isn't the eldest prince afraid of this palace?" ”

"The nurse and Aunt Xianglan both said that Aya Niangniang is a good person, and it is Aya Niangniang who helps her mother...... Help the mother concubine ......" Ling Yu forgot the words for a while, and rolled her round purring eyes.

Fu Qizheng loved his cute appearance, and hugged him to his lap, facing Ling Yu at this moment, he was already full of emotions, and Ling Yu's words were even more heart-burning, and he couldn't help but ask himself, whether he was right or wrong to do this.

"Niangniang, the emperor is here." Nian Jinan said.

Fu Qizheng looked back, Emperor Yuan was walking towards this side, so he put down Ling Yu, Ling Yu ran over, and shouted, "Father." ”

Emperor Yuan smiled and picked up Ling Yu and walked over, Fu Qizheng got up and owed: "Why is the emperor here, how is Shu Ronghua?" ”

Li Changhai said: "Back to Niangniang, Shu Ronghua gave birth to a little prince, and both mother and son are safe. ”

Fu Qizheng Fu leaned down: "Congratulations to the emperor for getting the prince again." ”

Emperor Yuan put down Ling Yu and handed it to the nurse, stretched out his hand to help Fu Qizheng, and said, "I have sealed Shu Ronghua as Shu Concubine." ”

Fu Qizheng said: "It is rare for Shu Concubine to avenge the first queen of the Yin family, and this time she gave birth to a prince, and it is appropriate to be promoted, why doesn't the emperor accompany Shu Concubine's mother and son." ”

"I have something to discuss with you." Emperor Yuan said, retired from his attendants, and strolled with Fu Qizheng, "I really can't imagine that the queen is so bold. ”

"The queen mother is also jealous, and the concubine has already been taught, but the Yin family is not as lucky as the concubine, and the concubine still saved her life."

"This time, I have to severely punish the queen, but it is not trivial to deal with the queen, and now I can only temporarily grounded her." Emperor Yuan said again, "In this case, Ling Rui can't let the queen raise her, I am ready to pass Ling Rui over to Concubine Zhen, what do you think?" ”

Fu Qizheng said lightly: "Ling Rui is the prince, of course, it is all up to the emperor. ”

"But you reminded me that Concubine Zhen's loss of a child was originally caused by the Yin family, and now it can be regarded as making up for her." Emperor Yuan thought for a while, stopped and looked at Fu Qizheng and said, "In addition, the queen is grounded, and all matters in the harem should be handed over to someone else for temporary disposal. ”

Fu Qizheng hurriedly lowered his eyes and excused himself: "Your Majesty, the concubine has only been in the palace for two years, how can she take on this important responsibility, not to mention that there is Concubine Zhen Yun above the concubine, and the second concubine is also a gorgeous concubine, how can the concubine pass a few ladies to take charge of the harem, this matter must not be." ”

Emperor Yuan wanted Fu Qizheng to say the same, so he asked again: "Then who do you think should be in charge?" ”

Fu Qizheng replied: "Naturally, it is the Hua Guifei Niangniang, the Hua Guifei Niangniang, as a noble concubine, is only under the queen, and her prestige is also high after entering the palace for many years, and the Hua Guifei has always been serious, follows the rules, knows the proportions, and no one is more suitable than the noble concubine." ”

Emperor Yuan was very surprised: "But Fahrenheit still said ...... today"

Fu Qizheng said indifferently: "The emperor can still focus on the overall situation, how can the concubines ignore the order of the palace because of their own personal grievances, and the concubines have always been unintentional, and they have not felt sorry for the concubines, and the concubines have not gone to their hearts." ”

Emperor Yuan also agreed: "Then do as you say." ”

The two slowly walked back to their original places, seeing that Ling Yu was having fun with Liu Yi, Fu Qizheng smiled, which could be regarded as making up for the guilt of this child.
