Chapter 78: Falling into the Dust
Staring at the little palace maid who was sobbing quietly and kneeling in a ball not far away, Queen Wen squinted slightly, although it was not clear what trick Liu Ruyue was going to play, but it didn't matter, after fighting for so many years, she Wen Wan had never been afraid.
"Let her in." Empress Wen's voice was a few degrees colder.
The visitor was wearing the regular clothes of the palace maid, and he didn't know if he was in a hurry or on purpose, and there were several dirts on his body. As soon as she saw that the grandmother who suppressed her let go of her hand, she immediately trembled and threw herself forward, and fell directly in front of Mrs. Dali Siqing, and roared with sorrow: "Madame is not good!" Miss fainted! I vomited, vomited a lot of blood, woo......"
"What?"
All four were shocked.
Dali Siqing's wife's surname is Chen, her mother's status is not high, and she wants a son very much, but unfortunately she gave birth to three daughters in a row. Seeing that he is getting older, there is probably no hope of having a son.
Although her husband treats her well, she is always unsteady without her son.
It is said that the son-in-law is half a son, so the Chen family has actively looked at the son-in-law in recent years, and deliberately let her daughter get closer to Princess Anping, thinking that if she meets the four princes more, she may be able to achieve a good match, and she can also straighten her waist in her mother's house and her husband's house.
A few days ago, she received the will of the imperial concubine and the queen respectively, she thought about it, and did not listen to the advice of her best friend group, thinking of some reason to prevaricate this flower party, but ingeniously thought that both sides should not be offended.
She followed the queen's will to participate in the flower party, and her daughter followed the princess's meaning to celebrate Princess Anping's birthday, it is said that Princess Anping's birthday every year, the four princes will be present in person. In previous years, there were many people, and there were no suitable opportunities. But there are few people this year, maybe I can chat with the four princes a little more, and if I have a good time, I may be able to make a private appointment or something.
After entering the palace this morning, the mother and daughter were separated. Just now she was still thinking, I don't know how her daughter talked to the fourth prince, at first hearing this announcement, Mrs. Chen was dizzy for a while, her body shook, and only then did she barely stand up straight with the support of the lady next to her, and said urgently to the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Quick, take me over." ”
This little palace maid, Mrs. Chen, doesn't know her, but since she came from Huanyi Palace, she must be from Huanyi Palace. Thinking of her daughter, whose life and death were uncertain, Mrs. Chen was dizzy again.
As soon as Empress Wen heard that people were fainting in Huanyi Palace, she knew what Mrs. Chen was planning. But it doesn't matter, she doesn't mind, and even in order to show her concern, she also ordered someone to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for a royal doctor, and then waved her palm and took everyone present to Huanyi Palace together.
Regardless of why this Miss Chen vomited blood, first of all, this incident happened in Huanyi Palace, and for Queen Wen, this is a good thing. Of course, the more onlookers, the better.
The imperial concubine was shocked, more inexplicable, but no matter how shocked she was, this thing had already happened on her territory, and she had to rush back to find out.
She glared at the girl kneeling on the ground, and thought, no wonder she looked at Mian Sheng, it turned out to be someone from the Qing family of Dali Temple, it was really unruly. The whole audience knows what happened in her palace and dares to shout so loudly, and when this happens, this girl will also live.
But now is obviously not the time to be angry with a little girl, everyone present stood up, followed behind Empress Wen and the imperial concubine, and hurriedly walked towards Huanyi Palace. In order to hide the excitement in their hearts, everyone showed a worried look on their faces, which was really hard.
How can you not be excited, the word vomiting blood, just listening to it makes people panic. The girl who entered the palace in the morning was good, but she was injured in Huanyi Palace, tsk, I don't know that the imperial concubine has to use means to cover up this matter.
The imperial concubine walked in the most hurry, and she didn't need the leadership of the little palace maid at all, so she took her palace people in three or two steps and returned to Huanyi Palace first.
The little palace maid was also so happy that she didn't fill the front row, and walked and walked in the crowd, and slowly disappeared......

Feique Palace
Today is the flower party held by the queen's mother, and it will be lively if you want to come. It's a pity that Hua Qian didn't have the opportunity to participate, but fortunately she didn't want to participate. She had been lying on the board for several days, and she was still uncomfortable. Generally speaking, as the daughter of Empress Wen, her mother holds such a large-scale banquet, and as a daughter who has not left the cabinet, she naturally has to be on her side to show her mother's kindness and filial piety.
However, Hua Qian, who had just been beaten, didn't want to see Queen Wen at all, and she believed that Queen Wen definitely didn't want to see her either.
So she didn't move forward. The most important thing is that she is really afraid of Queen Wen, thinking that if she doesn't dangle in front of her, she must be less suspicious.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is beautiful. A few flying birds swept across the four corners of the sky of Feique Palace, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye, and Hua Qian was a little envious.
Jinxin said that fortunately she has a good foundation, if ordinary people suffer this beating, I am afraid that she would have died a long time ago.
Oh, gentle! Empress Wen! Yin Yuli's biological mother! Just because of the mistake of his daughter leaving the palace without an order, he actually wanted to beat his daughter to death!
Maybe it's not because of this reason, but she only found such an excuse, can it be considered that Empress Wen hates her so much that she doesn't even bother to find a suitable reason?
Ironically, they are still mother and daughter in name.
Such a vicious mother is rare in the world!
Senior sister once said that the heavenly family is widowed and has experienced so many things, Hua Qian wants to say that in fact, the heavenly family is not widowed, but it is few, pitiful. Therefore, the little bit of family affection will be close to the most important person in you.
Empress Wen, it's not that she doesn't like her daughter, she just doesn't like her. On the same day in the Moon Palace, Princess Changle fell off the city tower, and the crazy look of Queen Wen at that time is still unforgettable.
Hua Qian calmly leaned on the brocade couch under the west window, stretched out her hand and hooked a wisp of green silk slowly in front of her, combing it one by one.
Fortunately, she is not Empress Wen's biological daughter.
Fortunately!
Jinxin went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to the Imperial Diet Division to see if there were any new products. Since Hua Qian's injury, Jinxin has been the most sad, these days she has turned over tricks to give Hua Qian all kinds of food supplements, and she has been fed with red light and gained several pounds.
Just thinking about it out of bounds, someone came in to spread the word that Princess Changle had come to visit.
Princess Changle has always been diligent, since she was injured, every time she came, she brought her the best healing medicine, whether it was taken externally or internally, in short, whoever said that the medicine was good, she would carry anything. These days, there is a big box of drugs in total.
Hua Qian thought that she must have come to recommend to her this time which imperial doctor had just researched the panacea.
Soon, Princess Changle walked in, and the flower branch following behind her lowered her head, and her face couldn't hide the panic.
What's going on?
Changle looked in a trance, and almost fell when he got close to Hua Qian: "Sister Huang." ”
"What's wrong?" Looking at Changle's appearance, Hua Qian's heart chuckled.
Changle looked at her woodenly, and then raised his eyes to look around. She didn't know what she wanted to do, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she wanted to find someone to talk to, so she walked and walked to Feique Palace.
Seeing Changle's unyielding appearance, Hua Qian was also afraid, even Princess Changle, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was so half-dead, you can imagine how serious the matter is.
Hua Qian couldn't care that his back was still aching, and he pulled his shoes and held Changle's hand: "Are you here to say, you ......"
Before the words were finished, I saw Jinxin running in from the gate like a dog: "Princess, princess, no, slave ......"
Seeing Princess Changle present, she grunted and swallowed.
"What's wrong?"
Jinxin glanced at Changle timidly, Princess Changle had a sad face, waved her hand, and asked the guards present to retreat, before saying, "What is there to stutter?" It's not that the palace doesn't know. ”
She sat on the couch and was silent again.
Hua Qian looked at the sluggish Changle, and then looked at Jinxin, who was full of words and didn't know where to start, and asked inexplicably: "Jinxin, what happened?" ”
Jinxin opened his mouth, found that he couldn't speak, swept his eyes, saw a pot of cold tea on the table, walked over and picked it up, and said in a steady voice: "The fourth prince slept with Princess Anping!" ”
Hanasa: "......"
Strong...... What's so strong?
Soon, she knew what it was to be strong.
Although Princess Anping does not have a good relationship with her and Changle, she also has a girlfriend group.
It is said that she is very good friends with the daughter of the imperial doctor, the daughter of the Dali Temple, and the daughter of the Ministry of Rites. I don't know if it's really a friend, but the four of them are very close. Colorful Chinese
These three people have all heard of it, and they have also had a relationship.
Princess Anping is arrogant and domineering, in fact, she can't get along with anyone, but she can't stand up to the noble status of others, and she has a prince brother.
His Majesty now has four sons, the two adults are the fourth prince of the imperial concubine and the sixth prince of the virtuous concubine, as well as the eighth prince who can just climb and the ninth prince who can't even turn over soon after birth.
Among these princes, the ones with the best chance of winning the crown prince are the fourth prince and the sixth prince, after all, the other two are not only small in their mother's power, but also weak in themselves, and it is still unknown whether they can grow up alive.
The emperor is quite optimistic about the two princes, especially the imperial concubine, who is extremely fond of the imperial concubine, so that he has more favor for the four princes under her knees.
But the fourth prince, who was so optimistic, slept with his sister in full view!
It is said that today is Princess Anping's birthday, and the three girlfriends made an appointment to celebrate Princess Anping's birthday together.
Princess Anping feels very good about herself, and the three of them are her friends on the surface, but in fact, the rank of the monarch and the minister is very strict.
The three of them were a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, the queen was holding a banquet in the imperial garden today, and the imperial concubine was also present.
The imperial concubine with a strong aura is not in Huanyi Palace, and a few young people must be relaxed together, especially when the four princes are present, they are even more happy, the three of them know each other's thoughts, and they are nothing more than the four princes.
So they went to Huanyi Palace together.
Who knows, Huanyi Palace is very quiet, there is not even a subordinate, the three of them stood at the door, and when they saw that no one came out to receive them, they thought that someone in Huanyi Palace had provoked Princess Anping, thinking that she was losing her princess temper again. Because there had been precedents before, the three of them didn't care, and took their respective maids directly into Huanyi Palace.
As a result, I witnessed a wonderful spring palace scene.
The heroes and heroines are the Four Princes and Princess Anping.
It is said that everyone was frightened at that time, and then I don't know who shouted, and then they scattered in all directions. I heard that the girl of Dali Siqing fell into the lotus pond in a panic, but fortunately, the girl who followed her knew how to be watery, so she was dragged up.
The fourth prince was obviously delirious, and Princess Anping was already fainting when she was pressed under him.
The two palace maids of Huanyi Palace rushed out of that corner without knowing it, screaming and stepped forward to pull the four princes, but they were stunned and didn't pull, the four princes seemed to be determined to grow on Princess Anping's body, and they were piling up one at a time, blood juice flew together, and the lower body stabbed non-stop, and the bed was full of blood.
Later, it was the imperial concubine who came to pull the two apart. But because of this, this scandal is well known.
As soon as the imperial concubine pulled away the two, after seeing the tragic situation of Princess Anping, she fainted directly.
The bed was full of blood, and even if anyone who had seen it didn't know how to heal, they all had a vague thought in their hearts: Princess Anping, it's over!
Four princes, it's over!
If no outsiders are present, the imperial concubine may use some means to cover up. Queen Kewen brought such a large group of people to watch the excitement, and in front of the palace, the imperial concubine just wanted to cover her face.
Although Princess Changle and Princess Anping fight and quarrel on weekdays, they don't get along very well, but after all, they are sisters, and they are afraid and sad to see each other end up like this.
Queen Wen has only one daughter under her knees, from childhood to adulthood, as long as she is against Anping, she has always fought alone, but Anping is different, Anping has four emperor brothers, and he will always comfort Anping carefully and properly.
She never said that she was actually very envious of Anping. Don't look at her several brothers and sisters, she grew up together since she was a child, but the relationship between these people and her is not as shallow as the flower who has just entered the palace.
When she was young, she saw the four emperor brothers' various favors for Anping, and the brother's pity for her younger siblings made her envious. She knew that the Four Emperor Brothers and An Ping were not the same mother, so she also tried to get closer to the Four Emperor Brothers.
But he was always polite and detached every time, and he was obviously gentle to her, but that didn't feel right. It was a completely different attitude from Anping, and over time, Changle's mind faded.
When she grew up, she realized that it was impossible for her and the Four Emperor Brothers to be close, just like her mother and Anping's mother, who were destined not to coexist peacefully.
But even so, seeing that the four emperor brothers, who are always high-spirited, have become the abandoned son that everyone scolds now, Changle still feels uncomfortable in his heart.
Everyone said that the Four Emperor Brothers were framed. The battle for the storage position has been full of blood debts since ancient times, and Changle has always known it, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Is it about to start? She didn't dare to think about it anymore, this was a catastrophe that she had to go through as a royal child, and after that, she would be prosperous and rich for a lifetime; I can't get by, and my head is in a different place.
It was as if she had seen that day coming.
She approached Hua Qian, slowly put her head on Hua Qian's shoulder, and muttered, "Sister Huang, is Tianguan Temple okay?" Take me to see it sometime. ”
Hua Qian stroked her hair lightly and nodded: "Okay." ”

The royal scandal quickly covered the entire capital like a blizzard. I don't know which one of the impatient people spread it, and it became a joke in Beijing for a while.
Dongchang and Jinyiwei arrested people who chewed the root of their tongues everywhere, but they still couldn't control the mouths of all living beings. Even if everyone stopped talking about it later, the gossip in the neighborhood in the market became more and more endless.
After the four princes woke up, they knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Hall and cried, saying that they had been plotted by traitors. Emperor Xuantong also understood his suffering, and the entire imperial court understood.
It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to have suffering, and the punishment that should be there is still no less.
In front of the public, everyone watched, he really slept with his own sister!
This mistake, whether he has the heart or not, cannot shirk the blame.
For Princess Anping, even if he doesn't have a heart, the damage is irreparable.
Throughout history, it is not that this kind of thing has happened that people have betrayed morality, but the occurrence of secret and this kind of panic are completely two different concepts, and if it is not handled well, the saliva of the people may drown the world.
This stain is destined for the four princes to miss the throne.
Emperor Xuantong was furious and directly smashed the imperial study.
Early the next morning, the holy decree came down, and the fourth prince Yin Jianhang misbehaved, deposed the identity of the prince, demoted him to a concubine, and left Beijing for the fiefdom from now on, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict.
Father and son, even if the identity of the four princes was abolished, Emperor Xuantong did not take back his fief.
The imperial concubine was not good at raising children, and she took away the title of Liu Ruyue Imperial Concubine and was demoted to Concubine Liu, who still lives in Huanyi Palace, and Huanyi Palace will be blocked from now on, and no one is allowed to enter and exit at will.
Although he did not enter the cold palace, the treatment was no different from that of entering the cold palace.
Huanyi Palace was not well guarded by the palace guards that day, and all of them were killed!
Even the Duke of Anguo was implicated, not only was he stripped of his title and demoted to the Marquis of Shunchang, but the Duke of An Guo was also scolded by the emperor at the age of pointing his nose in court, and scolded him so much that as soon as he returned to the house, he looked up to the sky and took a mouthful of old blood, and he had a stroke.
Before the holy decree sent to Huanyi Palace was finished, Liu Ruyue was paralyzed. Mei Youdepi, the eunuch who read out the holy decree, said with a smile: "Concubine Liu, take the decree, the miscellaneous family still wants to give His Majesty a life." ”
Liu Ruyue didn't hear it, the whole person froze in place, it was still the mother beside her, she quickly took the holy decree, and sent Zhang Youde away.
The moment he stepped out of Huanyi Palace, Zhang Youde paused in steps, turned around and saw Liu Ruyue, whose eyes were still paralyzed, smiled contemptuously, and left immediately.
The only one who was not affected should be Princess Anping, and even the emperor compensated her a lot.
However, she probably didn't want this compensation at all.
Since the accident, Princess Anping's three best friends have never appeared again, and since the four princes are out, they are naturally not in the mood to play any games with Princess Anping to make friends.
Moreover, for the girl who had not yet left the cabinet, the scene of blood and juice flying together at that time was quite terrifying, and it lingered in the minds of the three of them for a long time, making them red and frightened.
