Chapter 427: Blood
Qi Hao saw that Gu Jinli's eyes suddenly dodged, and he also moved his eyes, and his expression was forced to be calm: "Concubine Mei has a miscarriage." ”
It seems to be responding to the Eighth Prince, and it seems to be talking to himself.
Although she knew Gu Jinli's purpose for entering the palace early on, after seeing her and the Eighth Prince standing together, her heart was still very stuffy.
Out of sight, the heart is still.
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Gu Jinli and the Eighth Prince again, and raised his feet to leave.
Seeing that Gu Jinli's face was not very good, the eighth prince thought that she had heard the news of Concubine Mei's miscarriage, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Mei, she will be fine." ”
Gu Jinli said "um", and Father-in-law Jia, who could only hear it and returned, ran back with the dust in his arms: "Lin Gongzi, go and see, Concubine Mei...... She couldn't stop bleeding, and Imperial Doctor Wei couldn't do it! ”
After that, he didn't wait for Gu Jinli to react, he took her hand and ran forward.
Seeing this, the eighth prince also quickly chased after him.
When I stepped into the old emperor's bedroom, I only felt that there was indeed a strong smell of blood in the room.
The mattress was dyed red, which inexplicably made Gu Jinli's heart feel like she had been stabbed by something.
Suddenly, some broken memories came back to my mind.
"Pain...... Love the moon, look for ...... Find Wei Liao! ”
"Qi Hao, either you go, or I die, you choose one!"
"Ah Gu...... You hate me so much. ”
"Ah Gu, as long as you can get rid of your hatred, it's ...... Even if you stab me a hundred more times, I'm willing to ......."
……
Just like in the carriage just now, Gu Jinli had a headache again.
Not only that, but she also felt bouts of pain.
The pain seems to spread from the lower abdomen.
Piercing her heart, and looking at the blood shed by Concubine Mei, she only felt as if she was experiencing a miscarriage at the moment!
However, the difference is that this time she actually remembered Qi Hao's face!
He looked at her helplessly in pain, his heart was stabbed by her with a hairpin, and he lay on the ground in a pool of blood and shouted "Ah Gu" one after another......
"Ah Gu, Ah Gu......" Qi Hao's despair made Gu Jinli empathize and heartbreaking.
"Gu ...... Lin Gongzi, what's wrong with you? Seeing that Gu Jinli's face was pale, and her hands were still covering her lower abdomen, as if she was about to fall to the ground, the eighth prince grabbed her arm.
Ah Qiao has seen Gu Jinli's body appear abnormal many times recently, and he can't help but say urgently: "Master, don't scare the slave!" ”
It was probably because the movement of the two people was so loud that several people in the room turned their heads.
Qi Hao watched the Eighth Prince's hand on Gu Jinli's arm, and his eyes darkened.
"Lin Gongzi, the bleeding can't be stopped!" Wei Liao was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and when he saw Gu Jinli coming, he shouted while stepping forward to pull her.
Touching Gu Jinli's hand, he said strangely: "Young Master Lin, are you sick?" Why are your hands so cold? ”
Gu Jinli was dragged in front of Qi Hao by Wei Liao, she looked at the man in front of her who loved herself more than her life in Yin Suwan's mouth, the man who had borne so many grievances and misunderstandings, feeling guilty and uneasy, and embarrassed.
Although, of course, she didn't remember all the memories.
However, only from what she learned today, she misunderstood Qi Hao to a certain extent and hurt Qi Hao.
As for other things, they have not been investigated and verified, and she does not dare to jump to conclusions.
"Qi Hao......" Gu Jinli bit her lip, endured the discomfort of her body, stiffened her body, and wanted to say something, but her throat was dry and tight, and she only shouted Qi Hao's name, but she couldn't speak anymore.
However, Qi Hao didn't look at her.
He was staring straight ahead, but he didn't know what he was looking at.
"Lin Sheng, hurry, save Concubine Mei!!" The old emperor is now in such a mess that he doesn't even have the mood to question the queen and the concubine.
The empress and the concubine stood far away from the old emperor, as if they were afraid that the old emperor would be angry and couldn't bear it.
Of course, if it is far away, the queen can also seize the time to meditate and think about how to deal with Concubine Mei later.
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Gu Jinli responded to the old emperor and stepped forward quickly.
"Master, why don't you ask Imperial Doctor Wei to show you your body first, aren't you also uncomfortable?" Ah Qiao felt sorry for Gu Jinli, pulled her sleeve, and whispered.
Gu Jinli glanced at Qi Hao deeply, and saw that he was still expressionless, as if he didn't see himself, and shook his head: "It's okay." ”
Although Qi Hao tried his best to restrain his desire to pay attention to Gu Jinli, his afterglow still involuntarily glanced at her.
Gu Jinli called him just now, and the reason why he shouldn't be was because he was afraid that she would say something hurtful again.
After all, seeing that she was so close to the Eighth Prince, how could he not think nonsense?
However, her body seems to be very uncomfortable, what is going on?
Sitting down, Gu Jinli lifted the corner of Concubine Mei's quilt, she only glanced at it, and then asked while taking Concubine Mei's pulse: "Imperial Doctor Wei, did you feed Concubine Mei medicine just now?" ”
Wei Liao nodded and said, "I was fed the medicine to stop bleeding, but it didn't work." ”
Gu Jinli asked, "Which medicinal materials?" ”
Wei Liao quickly reported a series of drug names: "Lotus blue flower, sheep's horn vine, Baiqi powder, atractylodes ......"
"Wait." Gu Jinli was single-minded, listened carefully to the names of those medicines, and suddenly interrupted: "Take the atractylodes and send someone to boil a bowl." ”
Although Wei Liao didn't understand why he wanted to give Baizhu away, the time was urgent, and he didn't have time to ask Gu Jinli, so he nodded and immediately took someone down to boil the medicine.
In fact, according to Wei Liao's identity and status, he didn't need to do such a small thing as boiling medicine himself.
But here Gu Jinli is here, so he won't be needed, and the old emperor is very nervous Concubine Mei, if something goes wrong with the medicine, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, it is safer to let Wei Liao guard by the side.
Seeing that Gu Jinli withdrew her hand and began to pull Concubine Mei's eyelids, the old emperor couldn't help but ask, "Lin Sheng, what is the situation with Concubine Mei?" ”
"The child is gone." Gu Jinli opened the silver needle bag and gave Concubine Mei a needle, "However, I will wake up Concubine Mei in the future." ”
Concubine Mei is indeed a fake pregnancy, but this blood is real human blood.
The medicine she took can make intrauterine bleeding and cause the illusion of miscarriage, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake, otherwise Wei Liao could not be deceived.
It's just that this medicine is extremely harmful to the body.
Concubine Mei this time, as the queen said, is really bloody!
Those who have seen Gu Jinli's medical skills, and after her words, the old emperor's heart suddenly became much easier.
Standing up, his old eyes were shining, and he walked towards the queen and the concubine with a fierce face.
The eighth prince looked at the old emperor and knew that he was going to attack the queen.
When Concubine Qing saw the old emperor coming, she subconsciously hid behind the queen, and she didn't dare to breathe.
The queen's hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched, her face did not show the slightest weakness and nervousness, and she said coldly: "Your Majesty, today's incident was caused by a dispute between Concubine Mei and Concubine Qing. ”
Without the old emperor speaking, the empress could guess what he was going to say to herself.
Instead of waiting for the old emperor to ask, it is better for her to speak first to defend herself and seize the initiative.
Even if the old emperor insisted that it was her responsibility, she would never sit still.
The meaning revealed in the words is that Concubine Mei's miscarriage is related to Concubine Qing.
"Oh, Queen, I haven't asked you anything, but you know how to excuse yourself!" The old emperor looked at the empress with undisguised disgust.
Looking at Concubine Qing, he said quietly: "Concubine Qing, the queen said you ......"
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Mei's personal little palace maid abruptly interrupted the old emperor's words, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", "The queen mother lied!" ”
"It is clear that the queen mother took advantage of the dispute between Concubine Qing and Concubine Mei to push the master to the ground, and the master had a miscarriage!"
"Bastard! You dare to slander the Queen?! Qiu Cicada was furious, and stepped forward to slap the little palace maid, but "Bang!" Suddenly, he was kicked away by the old emperor.
"Ahh
Autumn Cicada screamed in pain, and slammed her back into the table behind her.
"Autumn cicada!" The queen's expression tightened, and she stepped forward quickly to help the autumn cicada, but was thrown out by the collar behind the old emperor.
"Queen Mother!" Seeing this, the eighth prince's face changed, and then he saw the old emperor raise his hand and "Bang!" All of a sudden, the queen's phoenix crown was hit on the ground.
"Empress, you have been jealous and hateful over the years, and you have killed many of my imperial heirs, and from today on, I will abolish ......" The green tendons on the back of the old emperor's hand were exposed, and the queen was strangled and breathless, so she could only stare wide-eyed and glared at the old emperor angrily.
Concubine Qing depends on the queen to survive, and if the queen is deposed, then she will be finished.
Therefore, Concubine Qing said loudly in a hurry: "Your Majesty, you can't abolish the queen!" ”
"The Emperor...... The queen is the mother of a country, how can she say that it is abolished? ”
"The queen she ...... She didn't push Concubine Mei, it was really Concubine Mei who fell down by herself! ”
Although the eighth prince really wanted to suppress the queen with Concubine Mei's hand, so that he could take the power into his own hands, he still had to do enough work on the face.
With a "poof", he knelt down, looked anxious, and said in a sincere tone: "Father, the queen mother and Concubine Mei have always gotten along well, and the son feels that there must be some misunderstanding in this matter. ”
Concubine Qing was a thief, and when she heard this, she reflexively asked: "Eighth Prince, do you mean that Concubine Mei was pushed by me?" ”
"In front of the emperor, you can't talk nonsense!"
Afraid that the old emperor would not believe it, Concubine Qing hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, the concubine just argued with Concubine Mei for a few words, but Concubine Mei fought against the concubine, and the queen couldn't see it, so she pulled Concubine Mei." ”
"Who knows, Concubine Mei fell to the ground by herself!"
"What the concubine said is true, look, the slap marks on the concubine's face are still there!"
With that, she gestured to her face.
"Concubine Qing, Concubine Mei is gentle and kind, and she will never take the initiative to cause trouble. Moreover, she also received a slap in the face, if you said that it was because you hit her that she fought back, I still believe it! The old emperor twitched his hand, and the queen staggered back a few steps, clutching her neck and gasping for air.
On the one hand, Concubine Qing wants to clear her suspicions, and on the other hand, she has to excuse the queen, because there is no evidence to identify Concubine Mei's self-injury, so her words are not very convincing at all.
Moreover, in order to protect herself, she subconsciously explained more for herself.
It's just that the detail of Concubine Mei holding hands with the queen not only made the old emperor more convinced that Concubine Mei's miscarriage was done by the queen, but even the suspicious queen herself thought so.
Concubine Qing dared to point the finger at herself, implying that the old emperor was the concubine she pushed, it was really unreasonable, it was extremely hateful!
The silver teeth were bitten, the queen squinted her phoenix eyes, and said sharply word by word: "Concubine Qing, this palace has warned you many times, don't let your own temperament come nonsense, you don't take the words of this palace to heart, and don't care about Concubine Mei's pregnancy in her belly, and fight with her!" ”
"This palace will definitely not bear this charge for you?!"
As soon as the queen's words fell, the people in the room understood.
Concubine Qing said that the queen took the opportunity of pulling Concubine Mei to push Concubine Mei, and the queen said that Concubine Mei, who was harmed in the fight between Concubine Qing and Concubine Mei, lost her child.
Anyway, right now the two are starting to eat dog.
Actually, Concubine Qing really didn't mean to blame the queen just now.
She is just clumsy, and she doesn't know how to protect herself and the queen while exposing the tricks directed and acted by Concubine Mei.
And the queen, immediately after the incident, had the idea of asking Concubine Qing to be a scapegoat.
Now that I have misunderstood Concubine Qing, I want to drag her out and suffer death!
The old emperor had hated the empress for a long time, and he had no affection for her.
Concubine Qing is like a dog, if the old emperor kills her, he will not blink an eye.
"Come on, drag Concubine Qing down and kill her with a cane!" With a wave of his hand, the old emperor's voice was loud and dangerous, like stepping on an ant.
"Your Majesty?!" Concubine Qing didn't understand that even if she had evidence to prove that Concubine Mei had caused a miscarriage herself, the old emperor would not save her life.
"Your Majesty, it really wasn't the concubine who did it, the concubine was wronged!"
Concubine Qing couldn't figure out the situation, and while kowtowing "bang bang", she cried bitterly and said: "The concubine only slapped Concubine Mei once, and didn't do anything to her, Your Majesty, I beg you to believe in the concubine!" ”
As soon as the old emperor heard this, a killing intent flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said to the Praetorian Guards outside the door: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Pull this slut down! ”
As soon as the words fell, two guards strode in, one on the left and one on the right, holding the hand of the concubine and walking out.
The queen also knew that the old emperor also hated herself, but she was full of confidence that the old emperor still had some scruples about the other party's family, so even if he almost abolished himself in anger just now, but seeing that he was going to kill the green concubine now, it showed that he could not bear it.
Qiu Cicada supported the queen, and like the queen, she thought that the old emperor was deflated and vented his anger on the head of the young concubine.
"Queen, the concubine has always treated you sincerely, how can you throw the black cauldron on the concubine?!" When Concubine Qing saw that the old emperor let the queen go, she was even more like a dog driven crazy, biting and barking: "It's a loss for the concubine to defend you, you ...... what you did yourself."
"Hmm, let it go...... Let me go! ”
Gonggong Jia gave the Praetorian Guards a look, so Concubine Qing was covered with her mouth and nose and taken out of the hall directly.
"Mother, are you alright?" Qiu Cicada endured the blood surging in her chest, and when she saw that the queen's face was not good, she asked in a low voice.
"Father-in-law Jia." Without waiting for the queen to squeak, the old emperor raised his voice and said loudly: "Spread my will, the queen has brutalized the emperor's heir, and her heart is vicious, from today onwards, abolish the queen's phoenix throne and confine Fengluan Palace!" ”
"No one can visit me without my will!"
"Violators, I will be severely punished!"
After the old emperor was abolished, this really stunned everyone.
Gu Jinli and the Eighth Emperor didn't expect that Concubine Mei would be so important in the old emperor's mind.
Qi Hao frowned slightly, not very approving.
The queen killed his mother, and he was naturally like the eighth prince, eager to dispose of her as soon as possible.
However, if you want to get rid of the queen, you can't hurry.
After all, the queen has already put the blame on Concubine Qing, and if it is abolished only because of Concubine Mei's miscarriage, the reason is somewhat untenable.
Besides, the other party was not co-opted and controlled in advance, once such a cold and indifferent abolition was made, the Fang family would have hatred for the old emperor, and it would be even more difficult to fight for this piece of fat.
"Your Majesty......" Father-in-law Jia and Qi Hao thought of going together, so they cautiously persuaded: "Think twice!" ”
The queen staggered back two steps, her hair was loose on her head, her eyes were scarlet, and she glared at the old emperor: "Your Majesty, what did you say?" Say it again! ”
The old emperor seemed to have finally found an opportunity to vent the grievances that had been held in his heart for many years, and he also glared at the queen coldly, and said loudly: "I said, the queen is abolished!" ”
"You!" It's one thing to know the old emperor's thoughts, and it's another thing to really let the old emperor say it in front of so many people.
The queen's chest rose and fell, and she finally squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Delusional!" ”
After hearing this, the old emperor felt that his authority had been challenged, and immediately scolded Jia's father-in-law: "Xiao Jia, I will issue my edict now!" ”
"I, let the whole country know that the queen has a loss of virtue and is not worthy of being the queen!"
No matter how you say it, she was raised under the queen's knees, and if the eighth prince doesn't say a few words for the queen, it will be very "ungrateful".
"Father, even though the queen mother is not a million people, but she is your wife in the end, the mother of a country!"
"Concubine Mei and Concubine Qing have both determined their mother, but until now, they have not come up with any evidence!"
"Father, my sons don't believe that the queen mother would do such a thing that is unconscionable!"
Every word spoken by the Eighth Prince carried the meaning of protection, but it further put the queen in a predicament.
Because, the more he spoke for the empress, it would only make the old emperor's idea of abolishing the queen more firm.
Whoever prevents the old emperor from deposing the queen will be against the old emperor and challenge the old emperor's dragon power.
"Hachi." The old emperor looked at Xiao Ba kneeling in front of him faintly, and said slowly: "I am very touched that you are so filial to the queen. ”
After a pause, he changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "However, don't forget, what is your surname, and whose blood is in your body!" ”
The meaning of the old emperor's words is quite clear.
The eighth prince naturally followed the old emperor's surname, and although he called the queen "queen mother", he was not the queen's biological son, so according to the old emperor's words, the eighth prince should be closer to the old emperor's father, and a heart must be towards the old emperor!
How can you hurt the relationship between father and son for the sake of a woman with a foreign surname?
Of course, the old emperor didn't want the eighth prince to know about the queen's killing of his mother and son.
may not want the blood in the harem to pollute the Eighth Prince, but the old emperor didn't know that in fact, the Eighth Prince had already known the cause of Concubine Liang's death two years ago.
Otherwise, he would not hate the queen so much.
The eighth prince deliberately made a sudden white face, which made the old emperor very pleased.
He patted the Eighth Prince on the shoulder and continued, "Little Eight, when you grow up, you should have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. ”
"Father, Emperor......" The eighth prince raised his head, looked at the dark tide rolling in the old emperor's eyes in a daze, and then looked at the queen again.
The empress and the old emperor have been fighting for many years, how could it be that the old emperor wants the eighth prince to make a choice between himself and him?
She pursed her red lips tightly, and the armor on her fingers unconsciously fell into the back of Qiu Cicada's hand holding her arm, waiting for the choice of the Eighth Prince.
Gu Jinli had already finished administering the needle to Concubine Mei, she didn't look back, still with her back to everyone.
Qi Hao stood behind her, also maintaining the same posture as just now, but his eyes fell on the back of Gu Jinli's head.
The two of them were silent from beginning to end, and on the surface, they looked indifferent to the storm in the house, but in fact they were turning their brains.
The Eighth Emperor's eyes were struggling, tormented, and silent for a while, and at the moment when the old emperor took his hand off the Eighth Emperor's shoulder with a gloomy face, he bent down and said softly: "Erchen...... Everything is subject to the will of the father. ”
These words are a compromise with the old emperor, and they are also indirectly breaking off the relationship with the queen.
"Well, this is my good son! Didn't disappoint me! The old emperor was satisfied with the eighth prince, glanced at the queen with her lips and shoulders shaking, and said with a smile: "Father and son are one heart, brothers are one heart, this is the good demeanor of our queen!" ”
The eighth prince sneered in his heart, but he deliberately made a weak-hearted, embarrassed, and apprehensive appearance, lowered his head, and avoided the queen's cold eyes.
"The Queen Mother's decree has arrived!" At this time, Mama Lan came in with a bright holy decree.
blessed the old emperor, she said: "Your Majesty, the old slave came to convey a word to you on the order of the Queen Mother. ”
"The queen mother said, the first emperor once said when he was alive, the emperor and queen are united and it is the great blessing of the country, if the emperor insists on abolishing the queen, it is better to go to the emperor's mausoleum to ask for instructions."
With that, she handed the holy decree to the old emperor.
The first emperor has been dead for decades, and even if the old emperor asks for instructions, it is impossible for him to crawl out of the grave and tell the old emperor one, two, three, four.
The old emperor snorted coldly, picked up the holy decree and looked at it, and his face instantly turned extremely bad.
On the holy decree of the Queen Mother, only one sentence was written, and it was also a sentence that made the old emperor angry.
Grasping the holy decree, the old emperor gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Jia, take back the queen's phoenix seal and hand it over to the queen mother to take over, and be grounded in Fengluan Palace for half a year!" ”
If you only take back the phoenix seal, it means that the queen will not be abolished again.
The eighth prince pursed his lips, guessing that the queen was saved by the queen mother.
It's just that what did the Queen Mother say about this holy decree?
The old emperor didn't give anyone time to ask questions, and said angrily: "Except for Lin Sheng, get out of here!" ”
The eighth prince saluted the old emperor and wanted to step forward to support the queen, but she pushed him away.
"Get out, this palace should only have never raised you, a white-eyed wolf!" scolded the eighth prince angrily, and the queen left angrily.
The Eighth Prince's expression was gloomy, and he walked out of the room with his feet raised.
It was impossible for Qi Hao to leave Gu Jinli and go back to the house first, he thought about it and walked to the corridor outside to wait for her.
