Chapter 193: The Unexpected (I)
Emperor Zhaoren was disturbed, and went straight back to the Xuande Hall to deal with political affairs. Emperor Zhaoren's face suddenly became even more ugly, could it be that Concubine Hui was still unwilling? On weekdays, he has a lot of affection for Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui is also very knowledgeable, although there is occasional friction with other concubines, but it is not a big deal.
"Get the hell out of here!"
"This ......" The little chamberlain glanced at Yang De'an, the chief eunuch, tremblingly.
Yang Dean couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw that the little chamberlain was dripping with cold sweat and didn't dare to speak, but he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, could it be that this matter was really strange? He thought for a while, bowed down and took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui has always been cautious in her words and deeds, and she will definitely not let people come to tell her for no reason......"
Emperor Zhaoren frowned when he heard the words and looked at the little chamberlain, who hurriedly stiffened his head and said, "Your Majesty, the palace maid said...... Concubine Hui really found a baby boy who had just given birth in the backyard......"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dean gasped, but Emperor Zhaoren's brows furrowed deeper and he became more angry, and snorted coldly and slapped on the imperial case, "Concubine Hui is really getting more and more disagreeable!" How dare you deceive me with such a thing! He really couldn't believe that who would dare to steal the sky and change the day, or under the noses of so many people, the newborn imperial heir was transferred!
At this moment, everyone heard someone outside say loudly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang is desperate to save the life of the little prince, please ask the emperor to have mercy on Niangniang and make decisions for Niangniang!" ”
Emperor Zhaoren strode out of the hall angrily, and saw a palace maid kneeling in front of the palace, which was the big palace maid Suiyue beside Concubine Hui.
As soon as Sui Yue saw Emperor Zhaoren, he hurriedly walked a few steps on his knees and touched the ground with his head: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Niangniang's insistence on looking for it, the little prince would be dead now!" Ask the emperor to call the shots and seek justice for Concubine Hui! Suiyue saw that the emperor was angry and didn't seem to believe it, and hurriedly added: "= Miss Qing and the cold doctor are also present, and I saw it with my own eyes, the slave and maid dare not have a word to deceive the emperor......"
Emperor Zhaoren's face changed at this time: "What you said is true? ”
"Someone wants to bury the little prince alive! If it weren't for the presence of the cold divine doctor and the timely treatment, the little prince would have died! ”
As soon as the word "buried alive" came out, everyone present chuckled in their hearts, it was a newborn baby! And burying alive a child who has just spoken out is already a loss of conscience, this child is still a prince! Even if it was Emperor Zhaoren, a country and a monarch, he felt his head buzz when he heard such words.
Yang De'an supported Emperor Zhaoren in time, "The emperor ......"
Emperor Zhaoren's anger surged into his heart, and he strode towards Yuxiang Palace without saying a word, and everyone hurriedly followed in panic.
At the same time, the Queen Mother in the Longevity Palace also got the news, and she was shocked and angry!
When the mother and son returned to Yuxiang Palace again, Lao Yuan heard the baby's loud cry, and was stunned, then glanced at each other, and felt guilty in his heart. If it weren't for Concubine Hui's insistence on looking for it, the child who had worked so hard to give birth to a baby in October would have been a bad one!
When he entered the hall, he saw Concubine Hui holding the infant child tightly and not letting go, tears rolling down like a broken embankment, and her expression was regretful and happy. When she saw the Queen Mother and the emperor coming in, she took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of the two of them: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the concubine didn't lie!" This is the child of the concubine! ”
As she spoke, she raised the swaddling clothes in her arms slightly, so that the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoren could clearly see the appearance of the baby boy in swaddling clothes, the high bridge of the nose, the thick black eyebrows, and the full heavenly court, which were carved out of a mold with Emperor Zhaoren when he was a child!
The Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoren's mother and son glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked Concubine Hui to help her up.
Reaching out to hold the baby boy in her arms, the Queen Mother sighed: "This child is really fateful!" Concubine Hui, it is the mourning family who blames you, you can rest assured, the mourning family and the emperor will definitely give you justice in this matter! ”
Concubine Hui was cold in her heart, if it weren't for Qing Ruxu and Leng Lingyu who happened to be here, she could only collect the corpses of her children now, even if someone was in charge, what could she do. Therefore, Concubine Hui didn't feel grateful in her heart, nor was she moved in the slightest, and her tone was a little stiff, "The concubine doesn't dare to pursue it, I just hope that her child can survive safely......"
The Queen Mother is also a mother, so she naturally understands Concubine Hui's fear as a mother, but the stakes are so important that she can't easily expose it, "What is this, someone wants to murder the emperor's heir, so rebellious, how can you let it go easily?" ”
The emperor looked straight at the infant child, his heart was happy and angry, he reached out and pinched the baby's little face, and said, "Since this is Concubine Hui's child, whose child is the baby girl?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the nurse standing in the corner, and the baby girl was holding her in her arms.
When the nurse saw that everyone's eyes were looking at her, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and she knelt on the ground in fear and kowtowed repeatedly: "The slave doesn't know...... When Fang Cai Niang gave birth, the slave and maid were also waiting outside the door......"
Emperor Zhaoren glanced around, didn't see the queen's figure, thought for a moment and calmed down, looked at Concubine Hui and said, "When you gave birth just now, where are all the people in the palace at this time?" ”
Concubine Hui still burst into tears, and choked up: "The stakes are so high, the concubines don't dare to be arbitrary, so they all detain them and wait for the emperor to decide." ”
Emperor Zhaoren thought of Concubine Fang Cai Hui begging bitterly, but no one believed her words, and felt pity when he thought about it at this time, "Concubine Hui, you have been wronged, and I didn't expect that someone would dare to do such a rebellious thing under my nose!" Don't worry, I'll make the decision for you! ”
Concubine Hui was waiting for this sentence, "The concubine thanks the emperor for mercy." ”
She asked Suiyue to tell the story from beginning to end, and the emperor raised his eyebrows, there is really a daughter of the Qing family, first saved Chonghua and Hanyuan, and this will save another prince, this credit is not something that can be easily brought by a sentence.
The Queen Mother was also surprised: "Where is Miss Qing at this time?" ”
Suiyue immediately replied, "Miss Qing knew that the Queen Mother was going to ask the emperor, so she didn't leave, and she was waiting in the side hall at this time. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes showed a little meaning, glanced at Emperor Zhaoren, and said, "Let her come over and talk back." ”
Qing Ruxu soon arrived in front of Emperor Zhaoren, "The courtiers knock to see the emperor, the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother gave a hand: "Good boy, get up quickly." ”
Emperor Zhaoren looked at her deeply: "Did you notice that something was wrong?" ”
Qing Ruxu replied cautiously: "The courtiers were just a little confused at first, and Concubine Hui would have a difficult birth because of such a small and weak baby girl. ”
Emperor Zhaoren was silent for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Come on, bring all the people who were present when Concubine Hui gave birth to me!" I'm going to interrogate it myself! Let's see who dares to play such a trick under my nose, trick me and bully me! ”
………………
Zhengyang Palace.
Empress Chen's gloomy face, her hands tightly clutched her sleeves, and her slightly trembling hands revealed the anxiety in her heart. The surrounding palace people saw that her face was ugly, and they didn't dare to breathe when they shrank to the side, and now the queen mother can easily not see the smiling face, especially after moving to the Xianju Palace.
Saitama waved his hand lightly, and everyone retreated as if they had been amnestied.
Crash! Empress Chen slammed the things on the table in front of her to the ground, apparently, she had also heard the news that Concubine Hui had found the baby boy in the backyard. "Didn't you say that this matter is foolproof and will never be missed!"
Qizhen knelt down with a plop, "Niangniang...... The slave didn't expect Qing Ruxu to meddle in this matter, if it weren't for her, this matter would have been done! ”
"As promised! It's her again! Empress Chen clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of fierceness, "Why does she always have to fight against this palace!" Didn't she have a holiday with Concubine Hui! Why do you want to help Concubine Hui this time! ”
Qi Zhen saw that Empress Chen's face was distorted, and her eyes were bloodshot and she didn't dare to speak, and Saiyu on the side hesitated: "Last time, Niangniang called her to the Queen Mother to inquire about the approval of the order, and she may have been hated by her. ”
"Humph! The Golden Palace is the master and husband Rong, is it possible that she wants to move to the palace and enter the palace to be the queen! ”
"I'm afraid it's impossible, she and that Tanhualang, who is Jiang Duwei of the Imperial City Division, have already made a family relationship...... The slave maid thought, could there be another reason for this? ”
"Something else? She has repeatedly ruined the good things of this palace, if it weren't for her, Chonghua's little would have died! Could it be that she has any friendship with the abolished queen! Empress Chen gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor let Liu Zhaoyi live in the Immortal Palace!" Hongu can't swallow this breath no matter what! Now the whole harem is watching Hongu's jokes! If anyone wants to help her deal with this palace, this palace can't tolerate it no matter what! ”
"Niangniang, for today's plan, let's think about how to get through the difficulties in front of us, if the emperor knows that today's matter is related to us, then it will be a big deal!" Now that Empress Chen's status in the harem is shaky, at this time, if she is charged with mutilating the dragon heir, I am afraid that she will never be able to turn over!
When Empress Chen heard this, she looked at Qi Zhen, and Qi Zhen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, those stable mothers' lifeblood are pinched in our hands, even if they die, they won't confide half a word!" ”
Empress Chen closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "That Qing Ruxu is a bit evil!" There are many tricks, and this palace is really worried......"
"Niangniang, the more this time, the more we must calm down, we must not mess with ourselves......"
"Today is different from the past, the emperor's heart has long been out of the palace, and the queen mother has never been waiting to see the palace, and now, the palace can only rely on its own ......"
Saitama couldn't help but say: "It would be nice if Uncle Guo was here, and he would definitely be able to help Niang Niang come up with ideas, but it's a pity that Uncle Guo is far away in North Vietnam......"
Empress Chen gritted her teeth, brushed the hem of her skirt and barely calmed down: "Let's go!" If something happened to Concubine Hui, the palace should go there immediately, so as not to fall into the mouth of the ......"
