Palace

Concubine Yang knelt outside the emperor's Qinzheng Palace, refusing to leave even if there was a lot of sun outside.

"I said that Niangniang might as well leave quickly, the emperor is still correcting and correcting the folds, and I don't have time to see you." At this time, a eunuch was a little unbearable, so he came over and persuaded a few words.

"If the palace doesn't leave, as long as the emperor doesn't see me, I will always kneel here!" Concubine Yang's eyes are very firm, and now she doesn't care about her face and face, only saving her brother now is the most important thing.

The eunuch couldn't stand it anymore, so he said it directly, "Your Majesty Niangniang refuses to see you." ”

"Don't worry about it, get out of the way!" Concubine Yang looked at the noisy eunuch next to her unpleasantly, and rolled her eyes directly.

The eunuch didn't get a good deal at this time, so he had to retreat silently, waiting for the woman to be exposed to the sun.

Because the sun is indeed very big, many people are still pointing when they pass by, but because they are afraid that Concubine Yang is very favored now, they have no choice but to leave in disgrace.

After kneeling for an afternoon, the emperor didn't have the slightest idea of seeing her, Concubine Yang was a little desperate in her heart, but now she continued to kneel.

Finally, the day gradually became less and less hot than before, but suddenly there was thunder, and it rained heavily outside.

Concubine Yang knelt on the ground unswervingly, waiting for the emperor to come up to see her, even if the other party didn't want to come out now, but there would be a day when she would come out.

"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter! My brother will never do such a thing after he saddles up for the court! ”

Concubine Yang really couldn't hold back, so she cried in front of the Qinzheng Hall at this time.

"This matter must be framed by a traitor, my brother is hardworking for the people, how can he do such a thing, the emperor can also see it on weekdays, he will definitely not do this kind of thing!"

Concubine Yang was in tears at this time, and the rain was flowing all over her face with tears, but she also knew that this matter was controlled by her brother in secret, but for the sake of her brother's life, she still had to show her face to intercede at this time.

After kneeling outside for another hour in the torrential rain, the people inside finally couldn't hold back and let her into the house.

"It's raining so hard outside, you should go back, why are you crying here?" At this time, the emperor sat on the stool and corrected the folds with his hands, without raising his head.

Concubine Yang knelt on the edge of the desk and kept crying, "The emperor actually knows what kind of person my brother is......"

"The case of this private salt case has been almost investigated, and you know what happened in your own heart." The emperor finally raised his eyelids at this time and looked at the person who was still crying on his knees at the table.

Concubine Yang, who was suddenly a little aggrieved, stood up directly at this time, and then threw herself into the emperor's arms.

"Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor, spare my brother's life, the concubine has only one relative in her mother's family, my brother......"

Concubine Yang was both miserable and charming at this time. , using all his strength to make the man in front of him change his mind.

In fact, the emperor has long had the idea of restraining many parties to go smoothly, but now the purpose of doing this is to make Concubine Yang cry and plead in front of everyone, so that everyone can understand that he is not so easy to intercede.

So early the next morning, the emperor's decree came down, and the whole capital learned of the emperor's decision to change again.

"The holy decree says that it is only a fine of five hundred gold and a stay on duty to check ......" Tuoba Huan's adviser read this passage carefully at this time, waiting for the man's attitude.

Tuoba Huan slowly spoke, "Such a light punishment is probably to make the Yang family stand on the cusp, and it will also make the prince feel uncomfortable." ”

"I'm afraid this move will make the prince's line and the Seventh Prince's side even more-for-tat."

"Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight as usual."

After Tuoba Huan finished saying these words, everyone dispersed and understood the current situation, because this issue of salt smuggling had entered a more white-hot stage.

At this time, there was a burst of joy in the queen's palace, and the queen was not angry when she learned about it, but became more and more happy.

"Why is the mother so happy?" The queen's personal maid didn't understand why her master was so happy at this time. "Obviously, Yang Guoquan has not been heavily punished, why does Niangniang still think that this matter is a good thing?"

"The emperor's decision also makes them have to do a good self-reflection on the Yang family, and if you think about it from another angle, you can understand that if the Yang family continues like this, it is undoubtedly playing with fire." The queen laughed again when she said this slowly, "And Yang Guoquan is extremely conceited, because of such a serious matter as smuggling salt, but he only stayed in office to check and fined a little money, I am afraid that the tail will be lifted to the sky, and maybe even more shocking things will be done in the future." ”

After saying this, the queen took a sip of water before continuing to explain, "We just need to wait and see the joke then." ”

"Niang Niang Shengming." At this time, the personal maid on the side also echoed.

The Seventh Prince's side has restrained a lot because of this matter, and has not made too many waves in the court, and has been low-key recently.

"Mother, I need to warn my uncle a lot, don't do anything excessive." The Seventh Prince frowned and looked at his mother in front of him, and said seriously.

Concubine Yang nodded, knowing what her son was worried about, so she spoke again, "You can rest assured about this matter, I know what to do, you must be more careful when the time comes, don't be caught by others, we can't make any mistakes." ”

Because it is too difficult to bring down the crown prince, although the emperor likes the seventh prince very much, but this matter cannot be solved by liking, so if there are other mistakes at this time, it is undoubtedly to bury his future.

Although Yang Guoquan was punished, the prince was not happy, because the punishment was not particularly serious, and the emperor seemed to favor the family of the Seventh Prince, so the prince was also thinking about countermeasures.

It seems that someone is secretly operating this whole thing, and they didn't do it, but the spearhead is pointed at them.

Concubine Yang, who is in the harem, now feels that this matter must be inseparable from the queen, after all, the two of them are the same as fire and water, and now that something has gone wrong, the queen must be happy.

Concubine Yang has now decided to fight back and let the queen know how powerful she is.

So at this time, there was a concubine in the harem who was pregnant, and because the queen was the master of the harem, she should take care of it and send things to comfort her.

"You have just become pregnant, you must have a lot of rest, don't be too tired, the first 4 months of the child is fragile, not too emotional." The queen looked at the pregnant concubine beside her at this time, and she didn't feel any taste in her heart, but she still barely kept smiling.

Received the queen's care, of course this concubine is happy, after all, this matter is also another kind of thing that can be regarded as a child, plus his mother is now expensive with his son, if he gives birth to a prince in the future, then he may be directly promoted to the concubine in the future.

This pregnant concubine has been very favored in the harem recently, especially the emperor has also gone to see it a few times, and some of the surrounding concubines have also begun to slap her and woo her.

But not long after, the news of the concubine's miscarriage came out, and according to the imperial doctor, it seemed that the miscarriage was caused by the extremely powerful medicine of musk around her.

"That bracelet was given to me by the queen's mother, because the concubine's place is humble, so I can only wear it by my side every day to show the queen's care for the concubine." The concubine was crying beside the emperor with tears streaming down her face at this time, after all, the loss of the child was undoubtedly a big blow.

Because having children will have future glory, but now that there are no children, it means that everything in the future is in ashes.

In addition, the emperor is relatively old, and it is already very difficult to conceive a child again, but now the rare child is gone.

How can people not be sad, so this concubine's crying at this time is sincere, as if her liver and intestines are broken.

"Go and call the queen to find out, what the hell is going on?" The emperor naturally felt sorry for himself at this time, the child was gone.

Soon after the queen was brought over, Concubine Yang also came over to watch the excitement.

"The emperor Mingjian, some things are not done by the concubines, and the concubines will naturally not admit it, as the master of the harem, the concubines do not have such a small heart, if they all attack the concubines who have children, then the concubines are not murderous demons?" The queen knelt on the ground very aggrieved at this time, telling her opinion.

And Concubine Yang, who was standing next to her, felt that it was not too lively to see things, so she hurriedly added another sentence.

"But that thing was indeed sent by the queen's mother, otherwise, why would the child suddenly be gone, so this matter has nothing to do with you." Concubine Yang naturally knew what she said, and this could not influence the emperor's decision, but this was also the truth.

The emperor's face was very gloomy at this time, looking at the queen kneeling on the ground, his heart was angry, although this kind of carving insect skill was unlikely to be made by the queen, but now there is no other evidence to point to others.

"I hope that the emperor will be the master of the concubines, and he will pass a fair examination for the concubines!" The concubine lying in her arms also hurriedly cried at this time to remind the emperor of her existence.

After all, the loss of the imperial heir is indeed a big deal. , so after the emperor hesitated, he could only reluctantly let the queen think about it behind closed doors for a few months as a punishment.

Although Concubine Yang is not very satisfied with this result, it can be regarded as achieving her goal, although this approach is too light, but it is also a good thing to be able to think about it behind closed doors for a few months, so that the queen can't come out to be a demon.

After Tuoba Huan learned about this incident at that time, he also understood who was obstructing this matter, but these struggles were naturally theirs and had nothing to do with him.
