Chapter 282: Midnight Palace Trial
Rao Xuekong glanced at the four princes, she didn't know if she could talk about this matter next, what if the emperor really couldn't stand the stimulation and something happened?
The fourth prince said: "If there is anything else, let's talk about it together." ”
Hearing this, the emperor calmed down, let out a long breath, and said, "Rao girl, you have solved a big trouble that has accumulated for more than ten years for me!" Rest assured, no matter what you say, I will forgive you of your innocence. ”
They definitely didn't expect that Concubine Zi would say it when she asked such a sentence.
Rao Xuekong nodded and said, "I hope the emperor can hold on." She knew that this emperor was still very affectionate, and what she wanted to say was naturally not a good thing.
It's just that she said that since she was going to make trouble, she wouldn't stay so quietly in this imperial study and tell it casually like a storyteller.
Rao Xuekong glanced at Jin Xiaohan, Jin Xiaohan understood what she meant, and took over: "The minister has invited Qin Xiang, several old princes, and the queen mother and others to the main hall, and asked the emperor to move." ”
The emperor was shocked in his heart: "What? What do you want to do? ”
Several old princes have long been ignorant of mundane things, even they didn't participate in such a palace banquet tonight, the queen mother has also lived in a simple house recently, and the queen has not come out for many years, and now she has invited them out, what do you want to do? The emperor and Lu Yinglan couldn't believe it, the fourth prince sighed, he didn't understand when Rao Xuekong and Jin Xiaohan asked him to do this, but he trusted Jin Xiaohan, and he could guess something.
"What is she going to do?" Lu Yinglan glared at Concubine Zi hatefully.
Rao Xuekong's voice became soft and coquettish again: "Zifei, come with me." ”
I saw that Concubine Zi was like an obedient child. got off the bed and followed Rao Xuekong step by step. Several people were dumbfounded, and looking at Rao Xuekong's face, they were naturally not very good.
It's almost demonic in case she does this to them
Jin Xiaohan glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "Xuekong won't use this ability indiscriminately. ”
The Emperor patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, don't protect her all the time, I won't do anything to her." ”
When I arrived at the main hall, sure enough, there were several elderly princes who were asking the Queen Mother with a puzzled expression. It's night. What happened to summoning them urgently, the Queen Mother naturally didn't know. Sitting next to the Queen Mother is a middle-aged beautiful woman, dressed in palace clothes, with only a simple jasper hairpin between her temples. The complexion is calm. Bow your eyes and sit still.
The fourth prince was a little excited when he saw her. Strode over, knelt in front of her, and shouted, "Queen Mother." ”
That's the Queen.
The queen looked up. Looking at the fourth prince, he also showed joy, and stretched out his hand to stroke his face, "Yi'er." ”
The fourth prince, named Xuanyuan Yi.
The queen raised her head, turned to the emperor, and her eyes fell on Lu Yinglan's face beside the emperor, and a slight doubt flashed in her eyes, but then she was diverted by Concubine Zi who was following behind Rao Xuekong, Rao Xuekong saw that the queen's eyes looked at Concubine Zi with hatred for a moment.
It seems that the self-closure of the deep palace for more than ten years has not wiped out the hatred in the queen's heart. However, it is also understandable that the son was taken away, and who can be a mother calmly?
However, the queen is still smart, she can't fight the purple concubine, and she is worried about her harm, so she simply locked herself in the deep palace, and over the years, she has even met the four princes only a handful of times, at least, her two sons have lived well until now, and they are living very well.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"This is Uncle Huang." Jin Xiaohan whispered in Rao Xuekong's ear to introduce her to the identities of the few people present.
The emperor sat down on the throne, and Lu Yinglan stood behind respectfully, taking another step back and hiding in the shadows. Jin Xiaohan accompanied Rao Xuekong to stand in His Royal Highness, and on the other side stood the even more inexplicable Qin Xiang and several cabinet ministers.
"Uncle Huang, it's not my fault that I'm bothering you to enter the palace so late, but this matter is very important, and I hope you need to be a witness." The emperor gave Rao Xuekong a look and signaled that she could start, although he didn't quite understand what was going on next, but he always had to trust this little girl he had chosen to toss these things, not to mention, there was his son behind her, and Jin Xiaohan, if these people were deceived by her, then he had nothing to say.
"It's you girl again, what do you want to toss?" The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Rao Xuekong, and seeing Concubine Zi standing beside her obediently, this made them feel weird how they looked at it.
Those old emperors, uncles, and old princes, naturally have suffered more or less from Concubine Zi, because the emperor has a handle in her hands, and he doesn't dare to stand on their side when something happens, which makes them more and more unwilling to care about the affairs of this palace, and gradually retreat to the back.
For the emperor, not without disappointment.
Therefore, over the years, the Dayu royal family seems to be calm, but in fact, the cohesion has long been broken up by Concubine Zi, and if something really happens, it is estimated that it will be very troublesome.
This is also the reason why the emperor used a dead horse as a live horse doctor this time, and he held on to it when he found a Rao Xuekong. How could he not know about the movements of Dongtu Xigui? In case there is a war, the royal family can't be united, and there is a purple concubine in the palace to stop it, it's not a joke.
Rao Xuekong heard the Queen Mother's question, and he was not angry, and glanced at the four princes.
The fourth prince stood beside the queen and shouted outside: "Xue Zhi." ”
After a while, Xue Zhi helped the six princes in, and several other forbidden soldiers escorted the second prince and Ji Annian respectively. The second prince stared at him with a look of wanting to eat people, obviously being pointed.
Ji Annian only looked at Rao Xuekong as soon as he came in, which made Jin Xiaohan unhappy for a while, and moved a step to cut off his vision.
"Solved their dumb holes." The Four Princes said.
"Yes." Xue Zhi immediately relieved the dumb points of the two, and then withdrew from the hall with the others.
Rao Xuekong raised his eyebrows. Xue Zhi is also extremely smart, he was obviously loyal to the Six Princes before, but now he is more loyal to the Four Princes.
She believed that the outside of this hall was also guarded by the people of the Four Princes.
The sixth prince also woke up, and at first looked at all this in front of him in a little confusion, but soon, his face changed a few times, his eyes fell on Rao Xuekong's face, and he pursed his lips tightly. The queen looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Rao Xuekong, now you can say it." The Four Princes said.
Everyone turned to Rao Xuekong.
She still stood straight.
"Everything has to start with Concubine Zi." Rao Xuekong took a step back, leaving the Zifei standing behind her completely exposed. She looked at the Sixth Prince and said softly, "Your Highness? ”
Her meaning is very clear, she hinted at him last time, and if there is a hunting ground where Concubine Zi sent people to besiege her, the six princes also knew. Although her heart was like a fire, she took care of him like this, and her eyes were warm with a touch of worry, which somewhat warmed his heart. Exhaling, he nodded slightly.
Rao Xuekong looked at the emperor, and his clear voice sounded: "Concubine Zi stole a prescription from the emperor many years ago, and that prescription was prescribed by Min Liang, the most well-known holy hand in the palace back then. ”
As soon as these words came out, even the emperor was startled.
He only said that she just asked where the thing was put in Concubine Zi, how did she know what it was?
This and this, just now, why didn't she say it?
"Rao Xuekong!" The Emperor let out a low snort. He has buried this secret for so many years, and he has been held by Concubine Zi, does she want to say it openly here?
"Your Majesty!" Rao Xuekong shouted loudly and suppressed his voice, "It's the most stupid thing to avoid medical treatment, can't you still see through it?" If you don't speak up, if you don't try your best to find a doctor, how do you know that no one in the world can cure this old disease? Besides, now that you are at this age, are the problems you had to worry about back then still a problem? ”
She stared at him without flinching.
There was silence in the hall.
It can be said that except for Lu Yinglan, the emperor and Rao Xuekong, there was no fourth person present who knew what they were talking about. Concubine Zi knew, but she couldn't speak at this moment.
The emperor was silent, leaning back on the back of the chair with a gloomy expression, Lu Yinglan took a step forward in distress and gently put his hand on his shoulder.
"Rao Xuekong, go on." The emperor's voice was slightly hoarse, and his heart was cold. Rao Xuekong has a sentence that hits the point, the problems that he had to worry about back then no longer exist.
Rao Xuekong continued: "Back then, the emperor was framed and fell into a secret poison from the outer frontier, and the imperial doctor Min Liang saved the emperor, but the medicine had a very poisonous side effect, but the imperial doctor of Min Liang couldn't solve it. And that side effect is that the emperor can no longer do the things of husband and wife. ”
With a bang, everyone's minds went blank for a moment!
This incident was so shocking that they couldn't even think about it, Rao Xuekong, a girl of seventeen or eighteen, would say the words that she couldn't do the things of husband and wife so lightly. Only Jin Xiaohan squeezed her palm very helplessly.
This woman!
In the end, it was the Queen Mother who asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this, this, what this girl said is true?" ”
It is a shame for ordinary men to not be able to do that, and it is a slap in the face to say it, and they will cover it to death, and if the king of a country cannot act, it will simply be raised to the height of national affairs. Think about so many concubines in the palace, these concubines are not just ordinary women, they each represent a force behind them, and they are pawns used to balance the power. The emperor wants the rain and dew to be evenly wet, otherwise it will be easy to have problems. And when the emperor had this disease, it was when he was young and in his prime, and at that time, he accepted many concubines, all of them were young and beautiful, how could they all be left out in the cold? Moreover, the royal family also needs to spread out! At that time, if the emperor's inability to do humane things was spread, there would be no chaos in this palace?
The emperor acquiesced.
The Queen Mother couldn't believe it, and her eyes swept over the faces of several princes: "Then, then they, and Ruolan and a few of them" If the emperor couldn't be a husband and wife back then, then where did these princes and princesses come from? (To be continued......)
