Chapter 634: Sacred Heart (2)
"Your Majesty!" The two women, immersed in anger and hatred, looked at the emperor together.
The emperor took a deep breath and calmed down: "Don't talk about the two of you, go out, I have to think quietly." ”
Concubine Zheng was startled, and before she could say anything, the emperor sank his face, and his majesty naturally emanated: "Stand down!" ”
This time, even Empress Gu didn't dare to say anything anymore, she and Concubine Zheng glanced at each other, each snorted coldly in their hearts, and then retreated.
Which side does the Sacred Heart prefer?
This question not only haunts the hearts of Empress Gu and Concubine Zheng Guifei, but also affects the hearts of everyone inside and outside the court.
By now, everything in this life has been completely different from the trajectory of the previous life. Whether or not the three princes can be completely defeated depends on this time. Therefore, even Gu Xinian couldn't maintain his previous calmness, he went out early and returned late for two days in a row, and closely watched the movements in the palace with the prince. It's just that the emperor has refused to see anyone in the past two days, and even the prince can't get any news.
"You say, who will the emperor favor in the end?" Of course Ye Qinglan cares about such a big event.
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he said affirmatively: "The emperor will definitely look towards the crown prince." Although the emperor used to be very eccentric, in the past two years, the weight of the prince in the emperor's heart has been increasing. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the most considered is Jiangshan Sheji. Therefore, even if he is reluctant, the emperor will inevitably give away the domain of the three princes. ”
After all, the emperor is a son of heaven, and then a father. Taking a step back, this can be regarded as leaving a way for the three princes to survive in disguise. If the domain is close to the capital, there will be any changes in the three princes in the future. The crown prince has a righteous and bright reason to send troops to exterminate the three princes. If there really is such a day, the emperor will probably not be able to rest in peace under the nine springs.
Ye Qinglan thought about it. Nodding in agreement: "What you said makes a lot of sense." In this way, you and the crown prince don't have to worry at all. ”
Gu Xinian smiled dumbly: "The truth is right. But in it, it's not easy to keep a normal heart. The prince barely slept well in the past two days. As for the three princes, they probably can't even eat. are waiting for the emperor's decree. After a pause, he sighed again: "I hope the emperor can make the most correct choice." ”
At this point, no one can influence the emperor to make any decisions. Just look at what happened to the Sacred Heart!
Ye Qinglan snorted and hugged him gently: "No matter what, he is definitely going to leave the capital." You've got your revenge, so you don't have to think about these troubles anymore. ”
The delicate body in his arms was soft and warm, and the familiar body fragrance filled his nose.
Gu Xinian's heart warmed. hugged her tightly. Compared to his previous life, he is so happy now. The family is alive and well, accompanied by an understanding and loving wife, and a pair of lovely children. God treats him well!
……
The emperor did not hesitate for too long, and on the third day, he issued a holy decree: to give the two provinces of Gansu and Shanxi as the three princes' domains, and they must leave Beijing within five days after receiving the decree.
Hearing the news, Concubine Zheng fainted at that time.
Queen Gu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to summon the prince to the palace for an audience. Actually, even if Queen Gu didn't have an edict. After hearing such good news, the prince couldn't help but want to enter the palace. The mother and son were talking in the side hall of the Fengyi Palace, and their faces were full of irrepressible excitement and joy.
"Qi'er, this time is really good!" Empress Gu smiled very comfortably, and all the sullenness she had had been getting over the years dissipated in one fell swoop: "Your father has finally seen the true face of that slut." was not deceived by her, nor was she soft-hearted. As soon as Zhao Zhang leaves, the inside and outside of this palace will be the world of our mother and son in the future. ”
The prince's eyes flashed with joy: "Yes." I've been waiting for this day for too long. ”
Holy decree. There will never be any more variables......
Mother and son were whispering happily when hurried footsteps and knocks sounded at the door. Empress Gu raised her voice a little displeased and asked, "Didn't I tell you not to come and disturb?" What the hell is going on. ”
The female officer appeared at the door with a panicked expression: "Queen Mother." Oh no! The concubine Niangniang looked for a short time, and the doctors had already rushed over to save people. ”
What the?
Empress Gu could hardly believe her ears, and she couldn't speak for a long time. There is only one thought in my mind that keeps whirling: This Zheng Guifei is really ruthless! even dared to give up his life. The emperor must also know about this, what will be the reaction......
The prince's face also changed, and he said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, what should I do now?" ”
Empress Gu took a deep breath and said calmly, "Don't panic first. I'm going to see how it goes. If her life is okay, that's it. If you really worry about your life, I'm afraid that there will be twists and turns again......"
No matter how hard-hearted the emperor is, it is impossible for him to force the three princes to leave the capital when Concubine Zheng's life and death are uncertain. Zheng Guifei is ruthless and accurate!
"I'll go with the queen mother too." The prince said without thinking.
Empress Gu didn't want to say more, and nodded casually. went to Concubine Zheng's bedroom with the crown prince.
Zheng Guifei was lying on the bed with a blank face, her breathing was very weak. The obvious bruises on the neck that have been strangled by something like a rope are shocking to look at.
Several imperial doctors in the hospital were giving emergency treatment to Concubine Zheng, and a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs were gathered around the bed to wipe their tears. They cried like this not all because Concubine Zheng was sad, but more importantly, they were worried about their fate. If Concubine Zheng really gave her life like this, those of them who served would have no way to live!
As soon as Queen Gu arrived, the palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to cry anymore and shed tears, so they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Empress Gu swept her eyes and looked at the personal female officer beside Concubine Zheng: "Tell me, what's going on with Concubine Zheng?" ”
The female official wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with red eyes: "Queen Qiyu, the slave maid is not on duty today, and she just arrived not long after hearing the news. Listening to a few of them, the concubine Niangniang was in a very low mood today and refused to eat. He also asked the people around him to retreat, saying that he wanted to be quiet alone. Several palace maids and eunuchs had to stay outside the door, and after a long time, there was no movement in the house, and they all felt worried. No one answered when he knocked on the door, and in a hurry, he dared to knock the door open. I never thought that the concubine Niangniang would use white silk to find a short-term ......, "Speaking of this, I can't cry anymore."
Empress Gu's face was calm: "In addition to asking people to send a letter to Fengyi Palace, have you sent a letter to the emperor?" ”
The female officer didn't dare to hide it, and nodded hurriedly. When such a big incident happened, no one dared to hide it or report it. To put it mildly, if Concubine Zheng really dies, the emperor will definitely be furious and angry with them. It is better to report it than to conceal it.
Queen Gu's mood was not to mention how annoyed and annoyed, but she couldn't bear to show it, and hummed lightly. Then he walked over to the bed and took a closer look. This look is even more secretly frightening.
The bruise on Concubine Zheng's neck was extremely deep, and it was faintly purple, which looked very terrifying. No one can say with a clear conscience that Concubine Zheng Guifei is making a show......
The prince leaned over to take a look, but he was also surprised, and quickly exchanged a look with Queen Gu. They all saw the worry in each other's eyes. From this point of view, it is unknown whether Zheng Guifei can be saved.
The emperor also quickly sent someone to visit, it was Gonggong Feng.
Gonggong Feng first greeted Empress Gu and the crown prince: "The slave has only seen the queen's mother, Her Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Empress Gu hummed casually and asked in a low voice, "How is the emperor now?" ”
This question was very subtle and vague, and Gonggong Feng understood it as soon as he heard it, and lowered his voice and responded: "The emperor heard the news that the concubine was looking for a short time, and he was in a very bad mood, so he ordered the slave to come to visit. The minion watched, if it weren't for the dragon's body being sick and really unable to get out of bed and walk around, he would definitely come over in person. ”
Empress Gu's complexion was not very good-looking.
Seeing that Queen Gu's face was ugly, Gonggong Feng didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly went to the bedside to take a few looks. At this look, his expression suddenly changed. I thought that the palace maid who went to report the news was deliberately exaggerating, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I knew that it was definitely not a fake. In this way, there is really no delay at all, and you have to go back to the emperor immediately.
Gonggong Feng hurriedly went back to his life.
After hearing this, the emperor's face changed: "What you said is true?" Is the concubine really in danger? ”
Gonggong Feng replied resignedly: "Slaves don't dare to deceive the emperor, it's true." ”
The emperor was silent, but his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were even more complicated. Although Concubine Zheng Guifei has been far less favored than before in the past two years, her status in the emperor's heart is by no means comparable to that of ordinary concubines. What she is looking for death for, he knows it in his heart.
Intellectually, he should harden his heart to the end. But intellectually is one thing, and emotionally is another......
Gonggong Feng quietly glanced at the emperor and asked boldly, "Does the emperor plan to visit the concubine?" ”
The emperor sighed lightly and made up his mind: "I won't go for the time being." You order someone to go to the concubine to keep an eye on it, and report any movement at any time. Also, according to my word, the imperial doctors must do their best to save the concubine. If the concubine has three long and two short, they will raise their heads to see me! ”
Gonggong Feng was stunned and busy
Concubine Zheng Guifei's short-sightedness is naturally not very dishonorable, and speaking out will also damage the royal face. Therefore, Empress Gu blocked the news and strictly forbade anyone to spread the matter outside the palace.
It's a pity that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Such news can't be blocked even if you want to. Within a day, it spread in the mansions of various nobles in the capital. One stone stirred up a thousand waves and caused an uproar. (To be continued......)
