Chapter 46: There is joy
"Sister, I know it's wrong! I was confused for a while, and the ghost was confused..."Uncle Guo sat on his knees and begged for mercy.
When the queen heard him say this, she was angry and slapped her face again: "Are you tired of being crooked?" How dare you sell smuggled salt! ”
Uncle Guo blushed and didn't dare to say more, he had indeed done something wrong in this matter. If Zuo Dao confesses himself, I am afraid that this good life will come to an end. Now I can only point to the prince and the queen to save my life, and it is better to beat a few times than to be imprisoned.
"Queen Mother, don't be angry! At this point, it's useless for you to kill your uncle, you still have to find a way not to let this fire really burn on us! Zhao Qizhen appeased the angry queen.
"Uncle, have you sent someone to see it in prison?"
"I went, but I couldn't see anyone at all, and King Rui ordered that no one should visit the prison!" If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't see Zuo Dao, Uncle Guo wouldn't have come to the queen's palace in such a hurry.
Zhao Qizhen clenched his fists, Zhao Qirui must have known that this matter was related to him, so he took the salt seller's nest at such a speed, and now he can't see the people in prison, and he doesn't know if he has confessed.
Zhao Qizhen thought about it, glanced at his uncle who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart was ruthless! "Uncle, you go back first, my mother and I will find a way!"
When Uncle Guo saw Zhao Qizhen responding, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Your Royal Highness Prince Xie, Uncle knows that you won't ignore your uncle!" ”
Zhao Qizhen hid the disgust on his face, watched Uncle Guo leave Changchun Palace, turned around and asked, "Queen Mother, what do you think should be done about this matter?" ”
"Waste with less success than failure!" The queen was furious, "Let's see if you can find a way to shut the mouths of those people, there is no news from the Criminal Department, I think those people have not confessed to your uncle." ”
"Queen Mother, don't you know who the royal brother is?" Now is a great opportunity to seriously injure himself, and he will not let it go easily.
The queen had a headache, "Then what do you say?" ”
Zhao Qizhen finally reached this position, and he didn't allow anything unfavorable to him to happen, not even his own uncle!
"The queen mother, my uncle, as a court official, colluded with others to sell illicit salt and connived at others to plunder women from good families, which is not a felony?" Zhao Qizhen's tone was cold.
The queen was shocked when she heard this, and asked with a frown, "Are you trying to ignore your uncle?" ”
"Don't worry, the queen mother will never take her uncle's life! There is another matter that the queen mother still doesn't know, my uncle actually conferred an official in my name, and King Rui is also investigating this matter. If it spreads, Erchen will not be able to tell it even if he has a mouth! Zhao Qizhen made this decision after weighing the pros and cons.
"No! Absolutely not, now your uncle is the only support of the Guogong Mansion, and your cousins are still young, if something happens to your uncle, the Guogong Mansion will fall! The queen was reluctant and refused.
"There will definitely be a way, think about it after Mother Rong!"
Seeing the queen like this, Zhao Qizhen was silent for a long time with a cold face.
"Think about it!"
Zhao Qizhen has never spoken to the queen in this tone, and the queen only hates her brother for being brainless.
Zhao Qizhen returned to the East Palace with a belly full of anger.
Shen Lianyue heard that the prince was back, so she came with ginseng soup.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine has boiled ginseng soup for you..."After Shen Lianyue asked for peace, she came to Zhao Qizhen's side, noticed that Zhao Qizhen's face was wrong, and wondered whether to tell him about it!
Zhao Qizhen glanced at it, "This palace knows, you should retreat first!" ”
Shen Lianyue bit her lip, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine has something I want to tell you!" ”
"What's the matter, I'll talk about it later! Hongu is busy right now! Zhao Qizhen didn't want to say more to Shen Lianyue at this time, and showed dislike for her for the first time.
Shen Lianyue's heart was stunned, and her face turned pale: "Yes!" The concubine retreated! ”
Shen Lianyue, who returned to the dormitory, felt very uncomfortable, stroked her stomach, and murmured: "It's not that your father doesn't like you, but I don't know yet!" ”
Shen Lianyue is pregnant, she has a guess when the moon letter is a few days late, she gets up dizzy and uncomfortable today, and asks the doctor to say that she is pregnant, Shen Lianyue is overly worried, and the symptoms of dizziness will appear when she is not enough qi and blood, so she prescribes fetal pills and asks her to take more supplements.
When the imperial doctor left, Shen Lianyue told not to tell others. The imperial doctor is puzzled, this princess is pregnant with the eldest grandson of the emperor, if the emperor and queen know that they must be overjoyed, why does the princess still hide it? The crown princess did not dare to disobey the order, and responded.
Shen Lianyue didn't mean to hide it, but she just felt that it was better to tell Zhao Qizhen about this kind of thing first.
Cuiliu looked at Shen Lianyue, who was a little sad, on the side, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just doesn't know about this yet!" Xu is because the affairs of the court and China are busy, and the slave maid also heard that King Rui seized a case of selling illicit salt! ”
Shen Lianyue was just frightened by Zhao Qizhen's eyes, it was Zhao Qizhen she had never seen before. "I see, let's go later!"
Until the evening, Zhao Qizhen never left the East Palace, and the people sent out to inquire about the prison of the Criminal Department came back to report, but they couldn't get in at all, and they were all guarded by King Rui's cronies.
Zhao Qizhen dropped the teacup in his hand, startling Shen Lianyue, who was just about to ask for peace.
"Ahh
Zhao Qizhen looked out in response and saw that it was Shen Lianyue, "Why are you here?" ”
Shen Lianyue steadied herself and came to Zhao Qizhen, "I heard from the palace people that His Royal Highness hasn't had dinner yet, and the concubine has prepared some for you." ”
Where is Zhao Qizhen still in the mood to eat at this time, "This palace is not hungry, you go back!" ”
This time, Shen Lianyue did not respond, but asked Cuiliu to arrange the dishes.
Zhao Qizhen suppressed the anger in his heart and signaled his subordinates to retreat first.
Shen Lianyue said while helping Cuiliu Bucai: "Even if the government affairs are busy, Your Highness must pay attention to your body!" ”
In Zhao Qizhen's opinion, Shen Lianyue was a little attentive today, which made him very disgusted, "If you have something, you can say something, this palace is still busy!" ”
Cuiliu retreated with interest, Shen Lianyue walked up to Zhao Qizhen, and looked at Zhao Qizhen faintly with shyness: "The concubine is pregnant, more than a month!" Diagnosed by the doctor today! ”
Zhao Qizhen was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't show the happy smile that Shen Lianyue expected.
"Then you have to pay attention to your body in the future! Don't come out and walk around when there's nothing to do! ”
Shen Lianyue was sullen in her heart, "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this child?" ”
"What are you talking about, the first child of this palace, how can this palace not like it!" Zhao Qizhen really doesn't have much joy in his heart, it's just a matter of course for him, or maybe it's because the child's mother is not the person in his heart!
Noticing Shen Lianyue's disappointment, "There are some affairs in this palace that are more tricky today, don't think about it!" Let's go back and rest first! ”
Shen Lianyue went back to the dormitory in disbelief, and the next morning, when she woke up, she saw Zhao Qizhen sitting in front of the bed looking at herself.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" I wanted to get up and was stopped by Zhao Qizhen.
"Sleep a little longer!" The soft voice is exactly the same as last night's two of them.
"Your birthday is just a few days away, this is your first birthday after marrying this palace, you must handle it well!"
