Chapter 330: Concubine Hui loses power
In the apse of the palace, one is prosperous and the other is desolate.
The cold wind was bleak, the flowers and leaves blown by the wind fell to the ground, and in a broken courtyard, there was a large porcelain jar, the lotus flowers in it had withered, and there was dust floating on the water.
It's just that there is a kind of desolation in the courtyard.
A lot of red paint had fallen off the dilapidated red walls, but there were green vines growing in the mottled place, and an old woman stood at the threshold of a wooden door.
Concubine Xian touched the place and came to this courtyard, there was already a lot of spider silk at the eaves, she raised her eyes to look, and then walked in, saw the old woman at the door, frowned and asked:
"You're Chen, aren't you?"
The old woman's cloudy eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Concubine Xian repeatedly confirmed that this old woman was indeed the palace maid who was by the midwife's side back then, but the years were urging people to get old, and for some reason this palace maid looked even older than her.
"You ......"
The old woman's eyes were blurred with tears, over the years, because of the events of the year, coupled with Concubine Hui's persecution and threats, she was exhausted day and night, and she was naturally locked up here with an old face.
So, Concubine Xian sat down and told this Chen the purpose of her visit, hoping that she could follow Chen to expose Concubine Hui, and after some emotional consolation, Chen agreed.
In this way, Concubine Xian went to the emperor with a human certificate.
In the cold hall, the cold air in the air was like a killing knife, and the emperor on the dragon chair was incredible, and his face looked very cold.
"Your Majesty, what Concubine Xian said is true, it was Concubine Hui's people who sent someone to replace the child in Concubine Xian's womb, and the slave maid was the palace maid who was by the side of the midwife back then."
Chen's words trembled a little.
"Gonggong Li, the secret legend of Concubine Hui and King Wei." The emperor looked sad.
If this is the case, then after so many years, he has misunderstood Concubine Xian.
Gonggong Li nodded and hurriedly walked out.
The palace has returned to its former tranquility.
When Gonggong Li left, he took care of the guards and maids guarding the Jinluan Palace by the way, after all, this matter is also a private matter of the royal family, and if it is spread out, it will make the world laugh.
After a stick of incense, Concubine Hui and Wei Xuanyun arrived one by one.
Concubine Hui walked into the main hall, first bowed down, and then said, "The concubine sees the emperor." When the words fell, she saw Concubine Xian and the Chen family beside her, and her heart chuckled.
Then, she pretended to be bland, trying to suppress the panic in her heart.
The emperor's expression was serious, even a little displeased, "Concubine Hui, you changed the prince privately in the delivery room back then, but is it true?" ”
When asked this question, Concubine Hui's heart trembled.
"Your Majesty, how many years has this been a matter of the past...... Besides, why did the concubine change the prince privately? Who are you exchanging with? Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Xian, and then innocently raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and simply chose to pretend to be stupid to the end.
Concubine Xian sneered, her eyes turned up with a touch of coldness, "Concubine Hui, you and I give birth in one day, you won't forget this, right?" On that day, Concubine Hui had a difficult birth, and the fetus in her womb was not guaranteed, but the child in the palace was taken away by Concubine Hui's midwife. ”
Wei Xuanyun stood aside, his face showing no emotion but coldness.
He doesn't have a good impression of Concubine Hui, the "mother concubine", she is ruthless, indifferent and ruthless, since she was a child, she has let him learn various means and skills, and his mother-son love for her has long been broken.
Concubine Hui pretended to be calm on her face and said sharply, but she was already panicked in her heart.
"Concubine Xian, is the person you are talking about this old woman? If that's the case, then this palace can also find someone casually to prove that this palace is innocent? ”
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and felt that what Concubine Hui said was not unreasonable.
Seeing that the emperor was a little hesitant and suspicious, Concubine Xian had a cold face and directly asked the emperor to drop blood for a blood test, and the emperor agreed, and Concubine Hui's heart suddenly fell into vain.
Concubine Hui swallowed her saliva, and when she dripped blood for a kiss test, her wrists were trembling, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Gonggong Li brought a basin of water, Wei Xuanyun cut his finger and dripped blood from the two of them, obviously unable to fuse with Concubine Hui's blood, and Concubine Hui sat on the ground all of a slump.
"Concubine Hui, for so many years, I have treated you well! Do you know what sin you have committed......? The emperor stood up and pointed at Concubine Hui with a trembling arm.
It is the crime of deceitful kings who kill their heads.
Concubine Hui pounced and knelt on the ground: "I beg the emperor to serve you wholeheartedly in the concubines for so many years, and the emperor will spare the concubines......!" She said with teary eyes.
Concubine Xian and Wei Xuanyun also officially recognized each other.
The emperor looked at Concubine Hui's appearance, closed his eyes, and then a chill radiated out from his eyes: "Gonggong Li, pass on my will, Concubine Hui deceives the king, her mind is not pure, she is jealous and indecent, it is for great disrespect, and she will enter the cold palace from today." ”
After that, the emperor flicked his sleeves and left.
Concubine Hui's tears burst out of her eyes, her original momentum weakened suddenly, no matter how she howled behind the emperor, she couldn't provoke any reaction from the emperor.
Wei Xuanyun supported Concubine Xian, and the two also left the hall.
After Concubine Hui was beaten into the cold palace, her family's power was restless.
The next day, in the hall of parliament -
"Your Majesty, please think twice, now there is a crisis in the border defense, and it is the time to employ people."
"Your Majesty, the minister asked the emperor to release Concubine Hui."
"Concubine Hui did something wrong, but now the emperor shouldn't put his mind on the harem, just a small punishment and a big commandment."
Among the hundreds of military officials under the court, the family forces from Concubine Hui are suppressing the emperor, and the emperor is in a dilemma, but he took into account the current national conditions and the power of Concubine Hui's family in the court, and thought about it.
Wei Xuanyun stood aside, his eyes squinted slightly, but he didn't stop it.
The emperor is the king of a country, and he must consider the court and the world.
"Rong Zhen thinks about it."
"The emperor must not delay, there is nothing more critical than the border incident." An old minister bowed, and the group of ministers behind him also knelt down one by one to ask the emperor to think twice.
So, the emperor was forced by the power of Concubine Hui's family, so he had to release Concubine Hui and abolish her title and demote her to Xia Changzai.
Wei Xuanyun naturally returned to the name of Concubine Xian.
"Wan'er has seen Concubine Xian." Lan Wan'er bowed down, wearing a long aqua blue dress that was polite and elegant, her face was like bright snow, and that smile warmed people's hearts.
"Good, good...... Juan'er, called the mother concubine. Concubine Xian stepped forward happily, very satisfied with Lan Wan'er, and stretched out her hand to help her up She looked at Lan Wan'er with kind eyes, her eyes full of love.
Lan Wan'er bowed her head shyly, and then came again: "Wan'er has seen the concubine." ”
Concubine Xian was in a happy mood, waved her hand, and asked her subordinates to bring a handful of jade Ruyi, and then gave it to Lan Wan'er, "There is nothing to give to you in this palace, this is what I married the emperor back then, and the queen mother gave it to this palace, and today this palace will give it to you." ”
She was pleased to hold Lan Xuan'er's hand, and the more she looked at it in her heart, the more she liked this girl.
Lan Xuan'er felt in her heart that she and Wei Xuanyun were now recognized.
After thanking the two for a while, they chatted with Concubine Xian for a while, and then returned to the mansion.
The years are quiet, and everything seems to be arranged in the dark.
Autumn outings are coming, the sky is slightly cool, but very pleasant.
Princess Luoli and Rong Jing agreed to go on an autumn trip, and the two met in the street market where they met before, and then shared a sedan chair.
"The girl shouldn't have come out to play yet, has she?" Rong Jing's good-looking eyes fell on Princess Luoli, and her words were soft, as refreshing as this autumn breeze.
Princess Luo Li clenched her little fist and nodded obediently.
Rong Jing looked at the woman in front of him, but he didn't have the cold arrogance that day in the Lushan, and now he looked a little more cute about women, and he unconsciously showed a smile.
"I'll take you to the Siam Valley, where there happens to be autumn foliage this season."
Princess Luo Li nodded, not to mention how happy she was in her heart, and looked at the son beside her from time to time.
The two sat in a sedan chair all the way, only to hear bursts of laughter like silver bells coming out of it, Rong Jing is also an interesting person, that is, very amused.
The words were like beads, and every sentence was full of humor.
Soon, the two arrived in the Siam Valley.
Such a place is like a fairyland, smoky, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants grow, but there is paved marble on the ground, and a stone tablet is also erected at the entrance of the valley, on which a few large characters are carved in red ink - "Siam Valley"
"Who's coming?"
Princess Luoli and Rong Jing enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way, and at some point, there was a ripple around them.
Rong Jing raised his eyes and saw a man standing on the steps.
So, the two came forward to talk for a while, and after asking, they learned that this was the valley owner of the Siam Valley, named Bai Haonan, in the process of chatting, Rong Jing and Bai Haonan hit it off at first sight, and quickly chatted together and became close friends who met in Pingshui.
"I didn't expect the White Valley Lord to be proficient in music."
"Yes, it is inevitable that this valley is quiet, and playing and singing is the only pleasure......" Bai Haonan opened a face as white and distinct as Rong Jing, not as good as Rong Jing, but also three points more beautiful, but a little like a Taoist.
……
In the evening, the sky is dark, the stars in the sky are dotted, the valley is full of fireflies, it is very pleasant, the stars illuminate several people, and the fireflies and crickets accompany the journey of several people.
"It's so beautiful......" Princess Luo Li couldn't help but praise, which is not seen in Luo Kingdom.
"Miss Luo, Gongzi Rong, it's not as good as me to go to the top of the canyon to enjoy the stars together, this is the shining place of the Siam Valley." Bai Haonan saw the happy appearance of the two, so he proposed.
They gladly accepted.
Several people went to the top of the canyon together, only to see the endless clouds in front of them as if the clouds were lingering around them, the clouds and stars within reach, and the blue and broken stars in front of them made people's hearts suddenly open.
"Looks like the girl likes it here."
"Hmmm! I've never seen a place like this......"
Rong Jing looked at Princess Luoli's starry eyes, and his heart fluttered.
Once at the top of the canyon, the two decided to stay in the Siam Valley for a few more days.
