Chapter 217: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
After all, Bi Yan entered the palace in a hurry, and she didn't have a good disguise, if someone who was more familiar saw her and stared at her carefully, she could see it.
When she followed Zhu Cheng into the palace, she was recognized by the third prince Mo Wenqi.
Empress Dowager Ning stared at Bi Yan strangely for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt.
Xu noticed Empress Dowager Ning's gaze, and Bi Yan quickly lowered her head.
Li Xin'er's eyes flashed.
After taking the medicine, Li Xin'er and Biyan went to the palace next door to wait.
Because Li Xin'er said that after taking the medicine, Emperor Moqing would wake up in half a day, and Empress Dowager Yining decided to let the two stay in the palace first and wait for the results.
Emperor Mo Qing's condition improved, and Empress Dowager Ning was relieved and at the same time thought of the concubines and princes waiting outside, and her face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Who doesn't know what those people have in mind, the emperor has nothing to do, and he began to jump up and down one by one.
Now that she has free time, I see if she can't pull out such a rampant killer monkey to set an example.
Just do what you say.
Empress Dowager Ning instructed Zhu Cheng to be optimistic about Emperor Moqing, and if there was any situation, she quickly called Li Xin'er, who was waiting next door, and took Aunt Fang out.
Imperial Physician Yigan was also given the order to leave.
The closed door of the temple opened with a "squeak", and everyone in front of the door looked over, and saw that the person who appeared was the queen mother, and they knelt down and saluted.
Empress Dowager Ning swept her unhappy gaze to the side before she said coldly: "Get up." ”
It's still the head of the queen.
"Queen Mother, I don't know how your majesty's body is doing? The concubine was very worried. ”
She is the mother of a nation. It is reasonable to worry about Emperor Mo Qing's body, but Empress Dowager Ning is not annoyed, her eyes glanced around, and her ears were pricked up to listen. Said calmly: "The emperor is just a little cold, after taking the medicine, there is no big problem, it will not be long before you wake up, the mourning family knows your filial piety, but now it's better to go back, don't wait here." ”
Concubine Ning thought about planning for her son. I was afraid that the Queen Mother would not tell the truth, so I wanted to go inside to see it in person, but I also knew that my position was low. was afraid of being reprimanded, so he instigated Zhang Guiren on the side.
Although Zhang Guiren is usually a little smart, he is still a little impulsive, and he was whispered in his ear by Concubine Ning. He stood up.
"The Queen Mother. Your Majesty is sick and there are few caring people around you to take care of, or let the concubines go in and serve Your Majesty. ”
As soon as these words came out, Queen Wang snorted coldly, Concubine Qian sneered, Concubine Sun had nothing to fight, her face was expressionless, and Concubine Ning was overjoyed. The expressions of the people were different.
I was looking for a disagreeable cleanup, so I sent it to the door. Empress Dowager Ning smiled first.
When Zhang Guiren looked at the Queen Mother's expression, he thought there was a drama and was about to be complacent, but when he looked at it again, the Queen Mother's expression had changed.
"Hmph, it turns out that the words of the mourning family have been so useless, is it possible, haven't you heard, the mourning family has already said, let you all go back, don't wait."
The Queen Mother's words were said quickly and angrily.
Zhang Guiren, who had just been proud, was stunned for a moment, and the cold sweat on his forehead also came out.
Suddenly, he fell to his knees and kowtowed to the ground.
"The Queen Mother is angry, the concubines are not intentional, but they are only concerned about Your Majesty, so they will not listen to the words of the Queen Mother, and they really did not intend to go against the will of the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother didn't listen to her defense at all.
"You mean that the Mourning Family is not as concerned about the emperor's body as you are? No wonder the third princess did those things that damaged my royal face before, the mourning family originally thought that the emperor had punished him heavily, but now he doesn't doubt it at all, with a mother like you to teach, what good things can the third princess do! ”
That's a big deal.
Zhang Guiren's face immediately turned pale.
Concubine Ning, who was trying to reduce her sense of existence on the side, couldn't help but be a little afraid, fortunately she was smart and didn't take the initiative, otherwise, she would be the one who knelt in front of everyone and was scolded and scolded by the Queen Mother.
She is very aware of the temper of the Queen Mother, although she is also from the Ning family, and is closer to the Queen Mother than ordinary concubines, but the Queen Mother always puts Her Majesty first.
Queen Wang, Qian Guifei and others are all quietly watching the play.
This noble Zhang really doesn't know whether to live or die, even if he needs a concubine to wait by His Majesty's side, it must be the queen who is the lord of the harem first, no matter how bad it is, it is also a favorite concubine like Qian Guifei, when it will be her turn to invite a little nobleman, it is really not a little eye-catching.
Even if the Queen Mother is not annoyed, how can the Queen Mother tolerate her being so presumptuous.
Because the idea of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys was to admit his mistake because Zhang Guiren begged for mercy in every possible way, Empress Dowager Ning was unmoved, and directly ordered Queen Wang on the side.
"Queen, you are in charge of the harem, you have to worry about it these days, the emperor is sick, but the palace can't be chaotic, and you have to pay more attention than usual, if there are too many things, let Qian Guifei help you share some of it, and Zhang Guiren will be handed over to you to deal with."
"Yes, Queen Mother, the concubines will follow the teachings."
The queen was busy saluting.
"Okay, you all go down, don't waste it here, there are Wen Nan, Wen Qing, Wen Qi, you all go down, your father is fine, you don't have to wait here."
"Yes, Grandmother."
Several princes also bowed and retired.
Before leaving, Mo Wenqi was unwilling to look back at the hall.
Mo Wenqing on the side had already walked a few steps, but Mo Wenqi didn't follow, but walked back and hurriedly pulled Mo Wenqi away.
"Third brother, do you dare to keep it, didn't you see that the imperial grandmother was angry, the imperial brother knows that you are worried about your father's body, but since the imperial grandmother has said that the emperor is fine, let's go back and wait for the news first." By the way, I'll go and sit in the palace of the concubine for a while, what about you? ”
Mo Wenqi was still a little stunned, and said to himself with some doubts: "Brother Huang, I just saw Miss Shen San." ”
Mo Wenqing was immediately stunned, and then reacted and said with a smile: "Third brother, you don't want Miss Shen San to go crazy." There is a hallucination, there is no Miss Shen San here, it was her guard who knew how to heal just now. ”
Mo Wenqing shook his head very firmly.
"Brother Huang. I really saw Miss Shen San, it was the medicine boy who was following behind the guard, did you notice? ”
Medicine Boy? Mo Wenqing seemed to have such a person in retrospect, thin and small, but he didn't pay special attention, and like everyone else, his main attention was on the guard with great medical skills.
Could it be that the medicine boy was pretended to be Miss Shen San.
Then he asked very seriously: "Third brother." Are you sure you read that right, it's Miss Shen San, no doubt? ”
"Yes, I'm sure. It must be Miss Shen San, but she changed into men's clothes and made some changes on her face. ”
Mo Wenqing fell into deep thought.
Why did this Miss Shen San pretend to be a medicine boy and enter the palace? What purpose does she have?
Totally can't figure it out.
It's just that he still instructed: "Third brother, you must not listen to other people again." Regardless of why Miss Shen San did this. Once exposed, she is a great sin of plotting no return! ”
Mo Wenqi said helplessly: "Brother Huang, am I such a person who doesn't know the importance in your heart, how can I not understand this, if it weren't for Brother Huang, how could I say these words." ”
Mo Wenqing smiled. patted Mo Wenqi on the shoulder.
"Okay, that's what the royal brother said, my father is fine. Brother Huang, I also felt a little relieved in my heart, let's go. Come with me to sit in the palace of the concubine for a while, and the concubine said that she has not seen you for a long time. ”
With that, the two brothers walked away side by side.
Not far behind him, the eldest prince with a resentful face walked out of nowhere.
What did he hear, the guard who dared to hit him was so bold, and the young lady of the Shen family who dared to bully the third sister.
Hmph, with such a handle, see that he is not good to fix them, for himself, but also for the third sister, out of a bad breath.
Bi Yan and Li Xin'er in the side hall naturally heard the words of Empress Dowager Ning outside the hall to teach Zhang Guiren.
Bi Yan's face couldn't help but show a mocking look.
Look at his son to get these wives, as soon as he heard that he was sick, how many people were really worried about his son's health, I'm afraid they all have their own plans, this is the palace.
I couldn't help but feel more guilty about Mo Ziqing.
Her son, how pitiful he is.
The people present, through the window, also saw the expressions on their faces, and she was very unhappy.
Li Xin'er naturally understood her feelings, walked behind her quietly, and said: "This is the normal situation of the people in the palace, why should you be angry about this, but make yourself unhappy." ”
Yes, she didn't know that such a palace was real, but she couldn't help but feel unhappy for her son.
But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to see it in person.
In the main hall, Emperor Moqing went through acupuncture and drank medicine, and his complexion was already much better.
Moziyi watched quietly in the sky above.
After Empress Dowager Ning reprimanded Zhang Guiren, she came in again.
Sitting quietly on the edge of the couch, looking at Emperor Mo Qing's face, he sighed a little in his heart.
Aunt Fang said on the side: "Looking at Your Majesty like this, the old slave couldn't help but think of the time when Your Majesty was young, when he had a fever, it was the same, lying quietly on the couch, in a blink of an eye, His Majesty is so old, but the old slave feels that it still happened yesterday." ”
Hearing Aunt Fang's words, Empress Dowager Ning also felt something.
"Yes, the emperor is more sensible when he is a child, especially under the teaching of Mr. Li, he has been like a little adult since he was a child. That fever seemed a little like a child, and he kept calling the queen mother, the queen mother. ”
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Ning suddenly stopped.
The faint smile on Aunt Fang's face also disappeared.
Mo Ziyi was very interested in listening to the two of them talk about his younger brother's childhood, but when he saw that the two stopped halfway through talking, the expression on his face changed.
Is this a mention of motherhood?
At the mention of the man who he would not dare to mention, the palace fell silent at once.
No one spoke again.
Bi Yan couldn't hear the conversation next door, but it didn't prevent Li Xin'er from listening to all the conversations.
If the most innocent person in all these things is Mo Ziqing, the child.
How innocent he is, his mother and brother died early, his father Mo Fengchen will think of the deceased because he sees him, and he is not very close to him, he has lived without father's love and mother's love since he was a child.
It is also necessary to shoulder the heavy responsibility of accepting the throne, and at a very young age, you have to be precocious and learn a lot of things.
He saw with his own eyes how this child grew up step by step.
When Mo Ziqing was eighteen years old, he ascended the throne, and he felt that he could finally rest assured, so he would leave and continue his major event of resurrecting Biyan.
I haven't paid attention to him for more than thirty years.
It's really not easy for him to live for so many years.
Although with the support of Shen Zhang, Mo Fengxing and others, the throne is not very comfortable, otherwise he would not have married the daughter of the Wang family.
There are many, many things that are not willing......
The emperor is not so easy to do.
The high place is unbearable, he always lives so cautiously, he doesn't dare to say anything to people easily, and he doesn't dare to trust people, so the moment he suddenly sees Mo Ziyi, he will be so excited, a fifty-year-old person has become like a child.
There was silence for a long time, but it was Aunt Fang who broke the silence first.
"If the master sees His Majesty like this, he will also feel distressed."
Empress Dowager Ning did not answer.
Fifty years ago is a memory that even older people dare not mention.
Mo Ziyi was also a little sad.
As soon as the queen returned to her palace, she was inquired about.
"Has the news gotten out?"
"Rest assured, it has been passed on to the national master."
"That's good, if there is news in the house, report it as soon as possible."
"Yes, sissy."
In another place, the eldest prince came to the residence of his mother, Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning thought that she was secretly glad about what happened to Zhang Guiren, and when she saw her son coming in, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, and told the truth about the matter.
Although the eldest prince has some brother-sister affection for the third princess, he does not have much emotion for Zhang Guiren, and he is also amazed by the wit of the mother concubine.
However, the more important thing for him here is to tell Bi Yan about sneaking into the Qianqing Palace as a medicine boy and discuss it with his mother.
Concubine Ning was surprised after listening to Mo Wennan's words.
The third lady of the Shen family is still as bold as ever, and she held her breath when she remembered the last time she was deflated by this sharp-toothed girl in Ciqing Palace.
Fortunately, I finally found such a good opportunity now.
Hmph, the dead girl, and her guard, are really a pair of adulterers and adulteresses, and they can't even enter the palace, so they want to come together.
She has to think about it carefully to see how to expose this matter so that those two can be punished properly.
The mother and son buried themselves in discussion, and one after another vicious plans were born.
Although Li Xin'er has great powers, he will not cover the entire palace with his mental power, because he does not know the tricks of the eldest prince and Ning Concubine's mother and son.
Mo Wenqi and Mo Wenqing didn't know that the conversation between the two brothers had been listened to by Mo Wennan in the dark. (To be continued......)
