Chapter 43 The poor must have something to hate
A few years ago, Qing Cang ascended the throne for only three years, Concubine Wan stood on the chaise longue with a round belly, at that time, she had clear eyes, pale pink lips, clear eyebrows, delicate and unassuming, completely similar to today's unruly Concubine Wan, judging the two of them.
I only heard the eunuch outside shouting, "Concubine Ying Niangniang drove to the ......", Concubine Wan straightened up after hearing this, only to see a woman with an unkind face walk in, Concubine Wan smiled and said, "Sister is here, sit down." Concubine Ying sat down, raised her eyes to look at Concubine Wan who was holding her stomach, and the corners of her mouth slanted, "Heh, Concubine Wan is resting in this Yixiang Palace with Liujia, it's really leisurely." ”
Seeing Concubine Ying like this, Concubine Wan's face did not show any anger, and she still smiled, "My sister is pregnant and it is inconvenient to go out, so I have to stay in the palace." Concubine Ying glanced at her with extreme disgust, "This palace is not familiar with Concubine Wan, so you don't have to be sisters, but you just entered the palace a few years earlier than this palace." ”
When Concubine Wan heard this, she just smiled lightly, if it was put to this day, this concubine would have long since survived today.
Concubine Ying looked at Concubine Wan's belly, the corners of her mouth rose obliquely, got up and walked to Concubine Wan's side, stretched out her hand to stroke Concubine Wan's belly, the long jade gold armor gently slid on Concubine Wan's silky clothes, Concubine Ying smiled maliciously, "Eh, is the baby in Concubine Wan's belly male or female?" If it is a girl, she will be a beauty in the future, and it will be good to marry a beautiful man when she grows up, but if it is a boy, tsk, you will be able to pay it back in the future! After Concubine Ying finished speaking, she pinched Concubine Wan's stomach hard, and her slender and hard armor sank into Concubine Wan's round belly.
At this moment, Concubine Wan let out a low voice in pain, and was so frightened that she lost her expression instantly, Concubine Wan hurriedly pushed Concubine Ying away, and her words were a little angry, "What is Concubine Ying doing here?" ”
Concubine Ying was pushed aside by Concubine Wan, and her face was immediately furious, and she stepped forward and gave Concubine Wan a slap, "......", and Concubine Wan's face immediately became red and swollen, and Concubine Ying roared, "You dare to push this palace?" It's just the niece of a dead courtier, what qualifications do you have to push this palace? ”
A palace maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine Wan at this time, and when she saw Concubine Wan's painful appearance, she was immediately heartbroken, and then Concubine Ying said, "How can Concubine Ying Niangniang hit Concubine Wan?" Aren't you afraid that the emperor will know the way and condemn the crime? At this time, Xiuzhu on the side glanced at the palace maid and signaled to shut up quickly, but it was too late.
Concubine Ying was immediately displeased, and chuckled, "This palace wants to see if the emperor knows if Lu Dao will be guilty of this palace, come on, pull this palace maid out of Lu and beat her to death!" The palace man behind him answered, and forcibly took the palace maid down.
Concubine Wan said angrily, "Concubine Ying, how can you move the people of this palace?" Concubine Ying glanced at her displeasedly, "The palace has moved, what can you do?" If you have the ability, tell the emperor to go up and see if the emperor will condemn the palace! After Concubine Ying finished speaking, she could turn around and leave.
Concubine Wan sat on the chaise longue, panting angrily, Xiuzhu comforted, "Master, don't be angry, the fetus is important." Concubine Wan said indignantly, "Concubine Ying is too much, how can this be!" ”
"Otherwise, the slave and maid should inform the emperor, the emperor has always loved the master, and he will be the master of the master." , Concubine Wan shook her head in disappointment and said, "Concubine Ying is the daughter of Prime Minister Lu Cheng of the current dynasty, and now the emperor is reusing Prime Minister Lu in order to eradicate dissidents in the court, and what the palace said is also in vain." ”
Xiuzhu frowned, "That master can't stand this nest, the meaning of Concubine Ying's words just now is very clear, she can't tolerate the imperial heir in your belly." ”
Concubine Wan was trembling with hatred at the moment, and her hand clenching the corner of the table had gradually turned white, "This palace will not allow anyone to hurt the children of this palace." Seeing Concubine Wan like this, Xiuzhu hurriedly comforted, "Master, don't be angry, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run." ”
Half a month later, when Concubine Wan was enjoying the flowers in the Imperial Garden, she fell because of a broken sole, so she had a fetal gas, and the doctor did her best to save Concubine Wan's child, and then found that the shoes had been moved, Qing Cang was furious for a while, and ordered someone to find out the murderer, and finally found out that it was Shanggong Wanbi of the service room, this person was Concubine Ying's personal maid, everyone inevitably suspected that it was Concubine Ying's back, Wanbi did not let go after torture, and was tortured to death, Qingcang did not blame Concubine Ying, It's just that the order was issued to punish the priest, and the matter is over.
Who knew that another month later, Concubine Ying was poisoned and died, someone added crane top red to Concubine Ying's food, and there was an uproar in the palace for a while, and there was a mistake in the aftermath, it turned out to be done by Concubine Wan, Prime Minister Lu Cheng was extremely indignant in the court, and clamored to ask Qing Cang for an explanation, Qing Cang was unwilling to hand over Concubine Wan, so he had to hand over a maid in the palace of Concubine Ying, and finally buried Concubine Ying in a grand funeral, since then, Prime Minister Lu Cheng is no longer loyal to stand on Qing Cang's side, colluding with the party henchmen in the DPRK and China, and even jointly impeached Qing Cang for concealing the facts, and even wanted to set up a new monarch, For a while, there was an uproar in the court, and Qing Cang only felt that he couldn't keep this Prime Minister Lu Cheng anymore, and finally General Xue united with several old ministers in the court and the central government to find out that Prime Minister Lu Cheng's crime of corruption and bribery in his early years caused a murder.
Concubine Wan sat alone in the dormitory, and the fetus was about to give birth in two months, she caressed her high bulging belly, and said softly in her heart, "Child, as long as the mother is here, no one dares to hurt you." At this time, Qing Cang walked in from outside the door angrily, Concubine Wan glanced at it, and just said plainly, "Why don't you let the eunuch report when you come?" ”
Qing Cang was a little unhappy at the moment, and asked in a cold tone, "Do you know that because of you, there has been an uproar in the court now, if it weren't for General Xue, my throne would not have been saved." Qin Yuan raised her eyes and glanced at Qing Cang, and smiled indifferently at the corner of her mouth, "Wan'er doesn't know anything about government politics, Wan'er only knows how to keep her children." ”
"If I have no rights, what can I do to protect you and my children? Although Concubine Ying is a little tricky, but after all, she is the pearl of Prime Minister Lu's palm, you have killed her now, how can Prime Minister Lu not be angry? I am now the only one in the court General Xue who is loyal, and I finally won over an important minister, and you ruined it. ”
When Concubine Wan heard this, she immediately turned displeased, and immediately raised her eyes and said angrily, "In addition to power and government now, does the emperor still have Wan'er in his eyes?" Concubine Ying is so blatantly harming the concubines, does the emperor turn a blind eye? The emperor can know that Concubine Ying has sent someone to add saffron to Wan'er's food, and if Wan'er doesn't think of some ways now, presumably the child won't be able to give birth! ”
"Then why didn't you tell me? I can secretly protect you and protect you from giving birth to the fetus safely. ”
The corners of Concubine Wan's mouth flashed with a hint of disdain, "Hehe, didn't Wan'er tell the emperor before?" Wan'er once told you that Lin Guiren privately punished Xiuzhu, Cao Guifei added poison to the food that Wan'er sent to the Queen Mother, and Concubine Ying added oleander to the queen's medicine, but the design said that Wan'er did it, but how did the emperor do it? They are still alive in the palace now! Just because of their daughters of official eunuchs, and because the emperor attaches great importance to government affairs, but what about Wan'er? Does Wan'er have to suffer these grievances for no reason? Everyone in the palace thinks Wan'er is easy to bully, but what about being a concubine? If Wan'er is not self-reliant, even if she gives birth to a child, she will be bullied! ”
Qing Cang clenched his fists angrily, "Wan'er, if you love me, you should understand what I am doing for you, you were originally gentle and gentle, but now why have you become so ruthless?" ”
After hearing this, Concubine Wan sneered, "Love? Hehe, did the emperor remember that when you were in the mansion, you personally said to Wan'er that even if you ascend the emperor's throne in the future, you will still have a couple with Wan'er for the rest of your life, and you will make Wan'er the queen and not accept any concubines. But now? The emperor ascended the throne only in March, and he drafted a hundred into the palace and chose other women to be the queen, and half a year ago he drafted a girl into the palace and chose another woman to be the concubine. When Wan'er first married you, she didn't care about enjoying glory and wealth, she wanted to stay with you for the rest of her life! You said that Wan'er has changed, but you have changed! ”
"The queen mother is on a hunger strike, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to watch my mother die? The throne is in jeopardy, if the children of the eunuchs are not elected to the palace, what should I use to win over the ministers of the court? If you don't, what do you think I'm going to do to protect you? ”
"I don't need your protection!" , Concubine Wan shouted hysterically, "I don't need you to protect me!" In your eyes, apart from the throne, apart from power, what is left? At the moment, you can't even protect my children, how can you protect me? Qingcang, you lost me! I've had enough of these three years! You have broken your oath, I will make you pay, and I will not make her feel better for every concubine you favor! ”
Qing Cang was suddenly frightened by Concubine Wan's appearance, he had to admit that he did lose her, when he was in the mansion before, he fell in love with Concubine Wan at first sight, regardless of Concubine Wan's low status as a maidservant, regardless of the queen mother's forced obstruction, he married her, even if the queen mother was tough and promised to marry which lady was beautiful, he refused to marry, because he loved Concubine Wan, very much! But now for the sake of the government and the throne, he has to lose Concubine Wan.
It's not that he is greedy for power, but in that era when the prince was fighting for power, if he didn't fight for the throne, then he would be the next to die, the queen mother, and the concubine! Now that he has won and is sitting on the dragon chair, everything is out of his hands.
Qing Cang looked at Concubine Wan, who had been carried away by anger, and just said lightly, "You have a baby, I'll come to see you in a few days." ”
At the moment when Qing Cang stepped out of the door, they couldn't match you and me from now on......
