Chapter 466: Folk Rumors
Zhu Hongxi and the others stepped aside and waited quietly, until about a cup of tea had passed, and the Hua Guifei hanging on the beam was no longer even shaking, so he stepped forward and put the person down carefully.
Zhu Hongxi motioned for the two attendants to come forward and investigate.
One of the chamberlains probed the snort of the concubine and said to Zhu Hongxi: "The concubine has returned to heaven." β
Zhu Hongxi sighed: "You guard the concubine Niangniang, I will go to tell the emperor." β
Changchun Palace was quiet, the trees were screaming more and more annoying, Zhu Hongxi hurriedly walked out against the bright sun, passing by the bare oleander that had already been eradicated, and his footsteps couldn't help but pause, followed by a long sigh.
Today, he was ordered by the emperor to give death to Concubine Hua, and the crown prince will succeed to the throne in the future, how will he let him go!
Although he has lived a long life and enjoyed a lot of good life, who thinks that life is long, just like no one thinks that money is less.
Zhu Hongxi squinted and looked up at the sky.
cough cough, if you have the opportunity, you can secretly step on it, in case you can step on the prince, presumably the one in Cining Palace is also happy to see it.
The crown prince left Changchun Palace, thought about it, and went straight to Qianqing Palace to see Emperor Changqing.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kneeling under the steps outside the palace." The chamberlain came in to tell Emperor Changqing.
Although Emperor Changqing gave death to Concubine Hua to relieve her hatred, she was not in a good mood.
After all, that woman was the prince's biological mother and had been with him for more than twenty years. Even raising a dog for so many years has feelings, let alone a woman who has been pampered.
Hearing that the crown prince was coming, Emperor Changqing was faintly relieved after having a headache. He said, "Pass the prince in." β
Not long after, the crown prince appeared in front of Emperor Changqing and knelt down as soon as they met.
Emperor Changqing asked, "Have you seen your mother?" β
The prince shuddered. Fu Di said: "I've seen it, Erchen is guilty." β
Emperor Changqing raised his eyebrows: "What is the prince's crime?" β
The prince bowed his head and said: "The son has already heard the mother and concubine tell the truth, and he does not dare to ask his father to forgive the mother and concubine, but only asks the father to give the son and the son to alleviate the mother's sin." β
The prince's move made Emperor Changqing feel a little relieved, and sighed: "Prince, since you know that your mother has made a big mistake. When you know that I can't afford not to deal with it. It's good that you have this heart, but in addition to being the son of your mother's concubine, you are also the prince of a country. There is no need to say anything more about taking responsibility for one's mother. Externally, your mother is just seriously ill and died, and I will bury her with the gift of a concubine, so you can do it yourself. β
The prince was overjoyed.
Really. The father still cares about his face.
But Erchen really couldn't bear to see his mother go like this. Father. You should punish your sons and daughters together, as long as you can spare your mother's life, you can punish your sons as much as you want. β
The prince put on a dutiful appearance to intercede for Concubine Hua, and Zhu Hongxi hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, the concubine has returned to heaven." β
"What!" The prince sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, looking like he had been struck, and muttered, "How come." I told my mother to tell her to wait until I met my father anyway. How could the mother go so quickly? β
He suddenly looked at Zhu Hongxi: "Father-in-law Zhu, is it that the mother concubine is unwilling, you force her-"
"Shut up!" Emperor Changqing scolded, thinking that Concubine Hua had returned to heaven, he couldn't help but soften his heart towards the prince and looked at Zhu Hongxi.
Zhu Hongxi wiped his sweat and said: "Back to the emperor, as soon as the slave maid and others entered the door, they found that the concubine had already surrendered. β
"Why didn't the mother wait for me to come to my father to intercede?" The prince looked like he was devastated, and suddenly cried bitterly, "Mother, my son can't stand you, you must be trying not to embarrass your son-"
There was a pop, and the prince seemed to be stuck in the neck, and his cry was suddenly cut off.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
The crown prince looked sluggish.
He just ...... Hypocrisy again?
Is God playing tricks on him, making him suffer from this strange disease inexplicably!
The prince was very embarrassed and couldn't perform.
Emperor Changqing was also speechless, wanting to reprimand the prince for his dereliction, knowing that he didn't do it on purpose, but the little pity that had just risen was instantly tossed away by the indecent sound, so he had to wave his hand and say: "Come on, send the prince back to the East Palace." β
The news of Hua Guifei's death soon spread everywhere.
King Ping was overjoyed when he found out and immediately went into the palace to see Concubine Shu.
"What died of self-blame and depression, the person who poisoned the Queen Mother must be Concubine Huagui, who was secretly disposed of by her father!"
Concubine Shu shook her head: "The person who poisoned may be related to Concubine Hua, but it may not be her." I'm still a little weird......"
"What's weird?"
Concubine Shu smiled: "Your father is not a ruthless person. The Queen Mother is safe and sound now, even if he thinks that it is the poison of Hua Guifei, it stands to reason that he will only send Hua Guifei to the cold palace, instead of secretly executing her. β
"Mother meansβ"
"I guess that because of the poisoning of the Queen Mother, your father must have found out what Hua Guifei had done, and she would end up like this."
"Great!"
Concubine Shu looked sideways: "Zhen'er? β
King Ping hurriedly restrained his joy: "My son is saying that the demon concubine has done a lot of evil, and it is also retribution to end up now." β
What evil thing could be worse than poisoning the Queen Mother?
Tired of the house and Wu, Concubine Hua made a big mistake, it's strange that the father can still have a good face for the prince!
Thinking of the recent scandals of the crown prince, King Ping has a feeling that heaven is like this.
Maybe it's really because God doesn't want to see that Xibei cargo dove occupy the magpie's nest, so many things have happened.
Seeing that King Ping couldn't hide her excitement, Concubine Shu persuaded: "Zhen'er, you must remember not to be disliked in front of outsiders. No matter how much your father dislikes Hua Guifei, she is also your concubine in name, and your father will be annoyed by you when she sees it. β
"Erchen understands."
King Ping returned to King Ping's Mansion and immediately called out to the secret guard to give him a secret order.
Hua Guifei had just returned to heaven, and a rumor spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
"What, it is rumored outside that the prince is the son of Mu Enbo, who was replaced by Hua Guifei Li Dai Taozhuang into the palace, and now that the incident has happened, Hua Guifei was secretly executed by me?" When Emperor Changqing heard this outrageous rumor, he could hardly believe his ears.
Because he ordered the secret guards to secretly investigate the matter of the prince in various parts of the capital, the news that spread all over the streets and alleys did not disappear after a while as lively as many folk rumors, but reached the ears of Emperor Changqing for the first time.
Emperor Changqing's old face was dark, and he was so angry that he went back and forth in the room, and kicked a small pestle with his feet.
It's really unreasonable, just such a son, who is rumored to be someone else's family, he, the emperor, deserves to be too miserable!
"Check, let me find out where the rumors came from, I won't be spared!"
Zhu Hongxi didn't expect the opportunity to step on the prince so soon, and immediately persuaded boldly: "Your Majesty, rumors from the people are often nowhere to be found, and the slave maid thinks that the top priority is to concentrate on finding out the matter of the prince." β
Regardless of whether the prince is alive or dead, with this kind of rumor, the prince's life is not easy. (To be continued.) )
