Chapter 78: Scramble

Kunning Palace was quiet, and the concubines were anxious to catch the news that they had just watched and hurriedly retreated.

The queen sat gloomily on the wide Taishi chair. The information sent by the people sent to investigate was indeed as Cui Zhenyi said, it was sent by Li Mingfeng, and they also found out that Li Xiuxiu's dowry maid Lan Xiang had left the palace.

The result of Emperor An's handling of this matter disappointed the Queen Mother. His own son, no matter how unreliable he is, is also towards him. Now, she is so angry with Li Xiuxiu that she has only been in the palace for a long time, and she has fascinated her son and openly favored her.

At this time, Empress Dowager Yang completely forgot Emperor Zhi'an's indifference to Li Xiuxiu.

The palace people reported: "Niangniang, the king of Jin is here." ”

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh and said, "Let him come in." ”

When Zhou Heng entered the door, the Queen Mother's face had returned to normal, and she said, "You came from the Qinzheng Palace?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Heng saluted and said, "Accompany the imperial brother to have breakfast." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and did not speak.

Zhou Heng sat down at the bottom and said, "Lord Cui impeached Dingxinghou, did the queen mother hear about it?" ”

It's okay not to mention this, but the Queen Mother is so depressed that she can't do it.

Zhou Heng sighed lightly: "Although Concubine Kang is a master of the phase master who has approved the 'unspeakably expensive' character, but the royal brother is the son of heaven, so naturally the more princes, the better." As the saying goes, there are brave men under heavy rewards, and sons think, there are probably brave women under heavy rewards, right? The queen mother might as well reward the royal sisters-in-law who gave birth to the prince, maybe under the heavy reward, the royal brother can get a man in one fell swoop. ”

If you want to have a child, you have to let a woman give birth, right? Raise women's motivation to have children. Isn't the problem of the emperor having descendants solved? The most important thing is that there are more women who can give birth to Emperor Zhi'an, and it doesn't have to be Li Xiuxiu.

The Queen Mother was like an empowerment, clapped her palms, and said, "Heng'er is right. He shouted loudly: "Ma Liang, pass on the will of the mourning family, no matter what the grade of the concubines is, as long as the eldest son of the emperor is born, he will be registered as a concubine immediately." ”

Ma Liang bowed down.

But with half a pillar of incense, the entire harp/palace was boiling.

Li Mingfeng left the Qinzheng Palace. came to Huakang Palace, where Li Xiuxiu lived. Said triumphantly: "What if Cui Daring catches someone?" Isn't the emperor still on my side? Speaking of which, I still have a good girl. ”

Li Xiuxiu was much calmer than Li Mingfeng, and said: "This time the poison won't kill them, and next time you have to plan carefully." You can't let them escape again and again. ”

Yesterday afternoon I sent arsenic in the milk of a goat. Li Mingfeng was still scared in his heart. I'm afraid that things will be too big to clean up, Cui Zhenyi is a third-grade member after all; Second, I am afraid that Cui Zhenyi's ghost will ask for his life after his death. For the first time, I was terrified of killing someone. The second time I was naturally much bolder. The emperor is on their side, and there is a daughter in the palace, what is he afraid of?

He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get things done." ”

Without saying a word, Lan Xiang hurriedly said outside the curtain: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother made a decree, whoever gives birth to the emperor's eldest son first will be registered as a concubine." Now, many ladies go to the Qinzheng Palace......"

Li Xiuxiu's face changed, she lifted the curtain and came out, and said, "Really? ”

"yes. The ladies of the palace dressed up in fancy clothes and went to the Qinzheng Palace. Lan Xiang was so anxious that her voice changed.

Is her own lady really "unspeakably expensive", others don't know, doesn't she know? If other concubines are to be the first to take the lead, what can her young lady do?

Li Xiuxiu didn't care about the details of the next poisoning plan with Li Mingfeng, so she hurriedly dressed up and prepared to go out to find out about the situation. Walking to the door, Liu Xuan, who lived in the side hall of Huakang Palace, walked over, saw her from a distance, bowed, and said, "I've seen Concubine Kang." ”

The joy on her face couldn't be hidden, or she didn't want to. Didn't the Queen Mother say it, no matter the background, no matter the grade, as long as she can conceive the dragon seed and give birth to the prince, she will be canonized as a concubine.

Li Xiuxiu felt that it was an eyesore, and all the women who snatched her son with her, she felt that it was an eyesore.

"Nothing, what? Go back to the house and stay. She pulled down her face and shouted angrily.

Liu Xuanzhi lowered his eyebrows and said, "The concubine has been in the house for a few days, and she is stuffy, and she wants to go to the imperial garden to breathe." ”

The palace people came to report that the emperor and Concubine De had gone to the imperial garden, and it would be a fool not to "meet" at this time.

Li Xiuxiu's intelligence work was not done well, thinking that Emperor An was still in the Qinzheng Palace, and when he saw that Liu Xuanzhi was going to the Imperial Garden, his face was slightly pale, and he said, "Go ahead." ”

Liu chose to serve like Meng Dahe, lifted his skirt, and ran fast with a smoke.

………………………………

Cui Zhenyi has been very busy lately, often going out to visit friends, or have friends to visit.

Cui Keyin was not idle, and quietly asked someone to send a message to Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu immediately reported to the Queen Mother and announced that Cui Keyin would enter the palace.

"Why didn't you look for me when something so big happened in your family? I can finally speak in front of the emperor. Well, I didn't know it beforehand, and I couldn't help, so the little prostitute was rampant. Shen Mingzhu complained as soon as she saw Cui Keyin.

Cui Keyin said: "How can I drag you into the water?" Besides, I didn't expect this to be the result. ”

Shen Mingzhu complained a lot. I said that I wanted to protect her and stand up for her, but now it's okay, there is such a big thing in her family, and I can't help at all, so I missed the opportunity to hit Li Xiuxiu in vain, making Li Xiuxiu proud. Thinking about Shen Mingzhu, he couldn't get angry.

Cui Keyin waited for her to be thirsty and stopped drinking tea before saying, "I came today, and I really have something to ask my mother for help." ”

"Really? Tell me what's going on. When Shen Mingzhu heard that there was still a chance, his eyes lit up, and he put the teacup on the kang table, eager to shake Cui Keyin's shoulder.

Cui Keyin attached to Shen Mingzhu's ear and whispered a few words.

Shen Mingzhu was stunned, then laughed loudly and said, "It's really yours!" Who taught you this? ”

Cui Keyin smiled and didn't speak.

"It's not that I'm helping you, it's that you're helping me." Shen Mingzhu smiled: "On the contrary, I owe you a favor." ”

Cui Keyin said: "Niangniang is polite." Niangniang has a loving heart for Keyin, and Keyin is grateful for it. As long as that person is not allowed to inherit the rain and dew and cannot give birth to a prince, the Cui family will have a glimmer of life. ”

Shen Mingzhu slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, wrap it up on me." ”

Cui Keyin had lunch at Yongle Palace.

The queen came to announce it, and Cui Keyin went to Yongxin Palace. The queen sighed, "I have heard it all, but fortunately you are safe." ”

The emperor handled it like this, and the Queen Mother didn't say anything, she didn't say much.

Cui Keyin thanked her and said, "Niangniang should also take care of the phoenix body and give birth to the prince as soon as possible." ”

The queen and Emperor Zhi'an respected each other like guests, and Emperor Zhi'an would stay in Yongxin Palace once on the third or fifth day, but for some reason, she never got pregnant.

She wanted to give birth to a child as soon as possible more than anyone else, so that her child would be both an heir and a longest, and she would be orthodox and naturally become the heir to the next emperor.

Cui Keyin's words went straight to the depths of the queen's heart. (To be continued......)
