Chapter 465: People's Heart
Only the two of them were left in the room, Concubine Hua and the crown prince.
The crown prince didn't know why, so he looked at Concubine Hua's face and asked, "Mother, didn't my father say that you were seriously ill?" β
Concubine Hua Guifei's heart was in turmoil, she hid her face and cried: "What a serious illness, Chen'er, your father is going to give death to your mother!" β
"What?" The prince was shocked, remembering his strange illness, hurriedly stabilized his feelings, grabbed Hua Guifei and asked, "Mother, what the hell is going on?" Just because the queen mother was poisoned at the birthday banquet, your father is going to kill you? β
Concubine Hua wiped her tears, pulled the prince to the head of the bed, and told the ins and outs of the matter in a low voice.
The prince was stunned for a long time before his voice trembled and asked, "Mother, do you mean that the queen gave birth to a baby boy in Guan Ju Palace back then, and the baby boy was only a few days older than me?" β
Hua Guifei nodded lightly, thinking of Deng An's rebellion, she couldn't help gritting her teeth: "I should have known that Deng An's dog slave was unreliable." Back then, the palace ordered him to monitor the Guan Ju Palace, but he never found out that the queen was pregnant, so he let the child be born! If it weren't for the fact that the palace found out in time later, Chen'er, who would be the crown prince now, it would be difficult to say. β
The prince was cold, and the cold seemed to be surging up from the bottom of his heart, making him tremble a little when he spoke: "Mother, since Deng An is unreliable, did he really dispose of that child according to your instructions back then?" β
Hua Guifei was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "Forgive him for not having the courage to dare to hide that child." Today, the emperor called Deng An to come to confront him, and Deng An confessed that he quietly buried the child after covering the child to death according to the instructions of the palace. β
"That's good." The prince only felt that the big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and his whole body was relieved, and the whole person's reaction seemed a little sluggish.
"Chen'er, now your father wants to give death to your mother, and your mother begged in every way to see you."
"Mother-" The prince felt bitter.
Concubine Hua held the prince's hand tightly: "Chen'er, your father is completely disgusted with me. The only thing the mother can count on now is you. β
"What does the mother want me to do?" The prince asked in a daze.
Hua Guifei looked at the crown prince with tears: "You go and beg your father, just say that you can't live without your mother, even if you send your mother to the cold palace, as long as you don't kill your mother." β
As long as she can live, it doesn't matter if it's a cold palace, or even the Huanyi Bureau, it doesn't matter if she survives until the day the prince succeeds to the throne, and the one who laughs to the end is the real winner.
At that time, she was the queen mother and the most noble woman in the world, but the emperor never knew that the blood shed on the new monarch belonged to her Hua family and had nothing to do with him!
When she thought that Emperor Changqing didn't miss the old love and wanted to kill her, and her nephew would inherit Emperor Changqing's name in the future, Concubine Hua felt happy.
Listening to Concubine Hua's words, the prince couldn't help but be silent.
There are not many heirs of the father and the emperor, and in his understanding, the father is very tolerant and loving to the princes and princesses, but the mother killed the queen's son, you can imagine how angry and disgusted the father and the emperor are for the mother concubine.
If he goes and intercedesβ
Thinking of Emperor Changqing's dissatisfied words and disgusted eyes, the prince's heart tightened.
No, if he bumps into him at this time, his father will definitely become more and more dissatisfied with him.
The crown prince glanced at Concubine Hua.
He opened his face to plead, and his father might be gracious enough to leave his mother alive, but as long as his mother was alive, his father's dissatisfaction would accumulate deeper and deeper.
It is true that he is the crown prince, but his father is in the prime of life, and when he gets old, maybe the fifth and sixth brothers will have grown up.
Throughout history, old emperors are often suspicious and confused, and under the accumulated dissatisfaction, how can his position as crown prince be safe and worry-free?
"Chen'er?" Seeing that the prince was silent for a long time, Concubine Hua couldn't help but call.
The prince slowly withdrew his hand and suddenly knelt down.
Hua Guifei was shocked: "Chen'er, what are you doing here?" β
She stretched out her hand to pull, but the prince didn't move, tilted his head and said, "Mother, I know that you have always loved me the most, so now you hurt your son more, don't force me." My son made a fool of himself not long ago, and he thought about it behind closed doors because of Cheng San's affairs last year. If he went to beg his father at this time, he would definitely be even more angry with his son, and it would be difficult to predict whether his son's position as crown prince would be kept. β
"Chen'er?" Concubine Hua muttered.
The prince knelt in front of her, she was obviously condescending, but she had the illusion of falling into the abyss.
"Chen'er." Hua Guifei raised her hand and landed on top of the prince's head, "You have been the prince for nearly twenty years, how can you think so?" β
The prince smiled bitterly: "Mother, my father is not only my son, in more than ten years, the fifth and sixth brothers will be in their twenties and thirties, so won't they have the power to fight?" No, if my father is more and more dissatisfied with me, maybe they don't have to fight, and I will make room for them! Mother, think about it, even if your son goes to intercede, your father will send you to the cold palace, and every time your father sees his son in the future, he will remember what you did wrong......"
Hua Guifei retreated in a daze and muttered, "Doing something wrong?" β
Hua Guifei almost wanted to laugh.
No matter how many things she did wrong, all she could do was this son kneeling in front of her.
And he is begging her to die!
Concubine Hua only felt cold, absurd, and ridiculous, and when she couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her hand and slapped the prince.
The crisp sound echoed in the room, the prince covered his face and stood up, looked at Hua Guifei and smiled: "Mother, don't be like this, who hasn't died, but it's worth dying, isn't it?" Although my father is angry now, but after a long time, my father is easy to soften, and when he sees his son remembering that he killed you personally, maybe he will have more pity for his son. β
Hua Guifei opened her eyes, as if she knew the prince for the first time, pointed at him and sneered: "Okay, really good, I didn't expect to work hard for more than 20 years to finally raise such a good son!" β
The prince shook off Concubine Hua's hand: "Mother, don't say that, my son is also for everyone's good." Think of your grandmother, think of Muenbo. β
Speaking of this, the prince stepped forward and leaned into the ear of Concubine Hua, and his voice was like a mosquito: "Yes, aunt." β
Concubine Hua retreated suddenly, stared at the prince for a long time, and said dejectedly: "Prince, you can go." β
The prince knelt down: "Then the son will retire, and the mother will go slowly." β
As the prince's figure gradually disappeared at the door, tears blurred Hua Guifei's eyes, regret, hatred, and unwillingness, all kinds of feelings welled up in her heart.
Yes, all of them are for Mu Enbo's Mansion.
And what about her? What is she?
The prince walked out with heavy steps, and when he saw Zhu Hongxi who was stuck on the steps, his steps paused.
"Has the prince seen the concubine?"
The prince nodded slowly, his eyes reddened: "The palace knows it, and I hope that Gonggong Zhu can make the concubine walk more decently." β
Seeing that the prince was far away, Zhu Hongxi glanced at a few chamberlains, and several people went in together.
Pushing open the door, I saw Hua Guifei hanging on the beam and shaking, and a gold silk and red satin soft-soled embroidered shoe quietly fell on the dusty carpet. (To be continued.) )
