Chapter 166: Why He Is the Eldest Son
Hetai ignored Concubine Su's general laughter, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
She said that Concubine Rong did not fall out of favor, which means that the emperor still favors her, and he does not dislike her even when her appearance is ruined. In this way, the emperor has a real friendship for his mother, and suddenly, the estrangement between his parents that has been between him for so many years seems to be dissolving. In this case, it is impossible for the emperor to let those who kill his mother and concubine happy, he should investigate thoroughly and punish the murderer severely. Then why is the queen and Concubine Rou still at large, but her mother has returned to heaven.
"Then why didn't the emperor investigate this matter, and this evil matter will be over?" asked Hetai Dingding.
Concubine Su shook her head, "Maybe all the clues have been destroyed, and there is no way to find out." ”
Then she also frowned, because in fact, she also had questions, and she didn't understand, since the emperor loved Concubine Rong so much, why didn't he help her investigate the murderer, although it was all done secretly, but a discerning person knew at a glance that someone did it deliberately, and it was artificially set on fire. Especially the injuries on the face are getting worse and worse, and the scars in addition to the burns also have obvious drug effects, Concubine Rong herself must have noticed something, but the emperor really didn't check it, at least not on the surface, this matter was not lifted with great fanfare, but was suppressed, and no one ever mentioned it again. Concubine Rong has not made trouble about this matter.
"That's why the queen was unscrupulous and murderous?" Hetai speculated.
"No, the reason why Luo really forced him to do it was because Concubine Rong was pregnant. At that time, there was only a princess among the royal heirs, and there was no prince. After Concubine Rong became pregnant, the emperor was very happy, thoughtful in every way, rewarded constantly, and even said that if he gave birth to a prince, he would be made a prince. That's what made her panic. ”
"But if Concubine Rong is pregnant with a princess, the emperor's words are also a joke. Just for the sake of a joke to kill the machine?" Hetai was shocked in his heart, it turned out that the emperor loved his mother so much that he could say the words of the prince just after he was pregnant.
"You're right, it's just that you're pregnant, and you're not sure it's the prince, it's a princess, but what if it's really the prince? Luo will not watch this crown prince fall to someone else. Neither will the Roche family. And what is the motive for the battle between the palace concubines? Sometimes because of a word, sometimes because of a reward, and some people who have just entered the palace because they are lucky enough to come overnight, they may invite trouble and die as a result. So even if Concubine Rong is not pregnant, even if the emperor does not say anything about making a prince, she may not be able to escape this fate. Speaking of the bright and secret killings between the palace concubines, Concubine Su was also embarrassed.
"But this matter is also because of Concubine Rou's encouragement, otherwise even if Queen Luo has the heart to get rid of Concubine Rong, she may have to wait, after all, she just ruined Concubine Rong's face, although the matter is silent, the emperor did not investigate the blame, but being a thief is weak-hearted, presumably she is still afraid in her heart. No matter what, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, and no matter how big the Luo family is, it is only a minister. The emperor is jealous of them, and they are naturally jealous of the emperor. So I think that what forced Queen Luo to act so quickly should be the role of Concubine Rou in instigating. Concubine Su raised her eyebrows and said, her voice was gentle, but there was also doubt in her eyes. After many years, although she knows a little bit of the inside story, she doesn't know everything, and she also has a lot of questions.
Hetai raised his head, the candles in the hall were dim, his face was not very clear, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. Deep as a pool, cold as a star, sharper than ever.
"Concubine Rou, she wants to fight for the position of the prince for her son, which is understandable, but the queen is also to hold the position of the prince in her hands and wait for her son in the future. It's unbelievable that the two of them would join forces. Even if they defeat Concubine Rong, won't the two of them have to fight to the death, and both will lose?" Hetai said quietly. He couldn't believe that he could have such a calm voice.
However, Concubine Su noticed that his voice was quiet, but his eyes were unusually sharp. Like a ferocious beast, it is about to explode.
Hetai is really strange, if the queen is to hold the crown prince's position in her hands, but Heyan is the eldest son of the prince, and Concubine Rou is also pregnant, why did the queen's spearhead not point at her, but only at Concubine Rong, is it because the emperor said a joke? And why does Concubine Rou Guifei want to have a good pregnancy when she is pregnant, and she still wants to be jealous of other people's pregnancy? All this is too strange.
"At that time, Concubine Rou was not pregnant, so Queen Luo was unwary of her and had close contacts with her. If she had, presumably Luo would be the first to deal with her, because after all, her background was much more noble than Concubine Rong. It is more likely that the crown prince will fall into her hands. Because although the candidate for the prince is approved by the emperor, it will also go through the deliberations of the princes and ministers, and if the opposition is too loud, even the emperor will make another decision. Concubine Su hurriedly corrected. After speaking, a trace of imperceptible horror passed over his face, as if he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but as soon as the words came out, he couldn't take it back.
"You wait," Hetai waved his hand, glanced sharply at her, and turned to stand silently by the window. He suddenly realized that Concubine Su's words made people feel that something was wrong.
"You say, when Concubine Rong was pregnant, Concubine Rou didn't?" he turned his back to Concubine Su and asked lightly, his voice was waveless, making it impossible to hear his emotions. But it gives people a great sense of oppression.
Su Guifei was shocked by this sense of oppression, her eyes were gloomy, she gave up quibbling and lying, and confessed, "Yes, at that time, Concubine Rou was not pregnant, so she hated Concubine Rong very much, as soon as she entered the palace, she was higher than Concubine Rong, looking at the people who were once inferior to herself, she was favored, and she was pregnant, if she was a prince, she might also be made a prince, and she would soon be in a position to the sky, but she herself did not, and she was not favored. ”
"Then why is this king the second prince, but the son of Concubine Rou is the eldest son?" His voice was still not high, but Concubine Su felt that this was the harshest speech of Hetai tonight, and it was more frightening than roaring in anger. Because the chill and coldness in his eyes made people shiver.
He Tai only felt a chill in his back, as if he was facing a bottomless whirlpool, and then someone kicked him down. He is obviously the second prince, although he is the same year as the prince, he is also a month younger, and Heyan is the eldest son. He is the second son. But Concubine Su said that when Concubine Rong was pregnant, Concubine Rou was not pregnant at all, so what happened to Heyan, the eldest son?
When Concubine Su heard him ask, she was shocked, and she unconsciously took a few steps back, and then her body froze, her eyes were full of fear, as if she had heard something very terrible. His eyes flashed, and he said in a panic, "Early, premature." Then he said firmly, "Yes, the prince was born prematurely, less than a month, so he was born two months earlier than you." Yes, this is the firstborn. Concubine Rou's pregnancy was two months after Concubine Rong became pregnant. ”
"Concubine Rou was also pregnant later, and the emperor just made the palace people take care of her, and didn't care much, just took care of Concubine Rong, perhaps because of this, Concubine Rou was deeply hit, and the fetus was unstable for a while, and she almost had a miscarriage. Although she was saved, she was born prematurely, and she gave birth to Heyan. If not, Concubine Rong would have given birth first. ”
Hetai's dark eyes froze, "Really?"
"Yes, yes, King Jin can ask, what I said is true. Concubine Su nodded again and again. She is not afraid of Hetai to ask, Heyan was born prematurely, and the Queen Mother, the emperor and many people in the palace know it.
He knew that things might not be so simple, but he didn't know anything about what happened so many years ago, and he would certainly investigate! Of course he would investigate! It's just that there are such hidden things for a long time, and it is not easy to find out. But he won't give up easily. It is difficult to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of what Concubine Su said, if she knows the secret and can hide it, then one day she will be allowed to speak. At this time, even if she was pressed, she insisted that it was like this, and she was helpless.
"What method did they use to kill Concubine Rong? Why did the imperial doctor also claim that she died of illness? ”
"People with bodies can't sleep well, so Luo gave a pillow to Concubine Rong, saying that it is made of herbal seeds and can sleep peacefully. But in fact, there is something bad in the pillow, although it is not directly fatal, but after a long period of pillow with a breath and an inhalation, the toxin will be inhaled into the body, and gradually invade the internal organs. Gradual aggravation. It seems to be a stubborn lung disease. Therefore, it will be treated as a disease. Maybe the imperial doctor who treated Concubine Rong at that time was also bought, and it is not impossible, because after Concubine Rong died, several doctors in the hospital also returned to their hometowns inexplicably, and no one knows where they went after leaving. Now that I think about it, I have a lot of doubts. "Concubine Su really doesn't know a little bit, and many things are very transparent.
"How do you know this?" said Hetai's deep eagle eyes, seven points of alertness and three points of doubt.
"Me?" Su Guifei was startled, and as soon as she raised her head, her eyes collided with Hetai's eyes, and she was a little flustered in her heart for a moment, but her face was still trying to maintain her composure as usual, "I also found out later, and it was revealed by Rou Guifei unintentionally." After Concubine Rong gave birth to a child, she may not have used that pillow anymore, but the poison has entered the body, so when you were two years old, you went. Since then, the emperor has not favored any more, and even if I took advantage of it, I have been favored a few times. ”
"Perhaps in order to suppress me, Concubine Rou intimidated her words, and told the secret of the pillow without concealment, and said that the pillow was made and handed over to Luo. may want me to take Concubine Rong as a lesson from the past, and don't have any delusions, otherwise my life will be difficult to protect. Maybe it's to win me over, so she says some secret things to show her ability. Because at that time he already had Heyan, and the queen also had a mustard for her, and the two were not on good terms, so she wanted to pull me into an alliance and fight against the queen. This is also my speculation, in fact, I don't know what she really meant. Anyway, she took the initiative to warm up with me. ”
"Just now you said that the emperor once said that if the prince of Rong Concubine is pregnant, he will be made the crown prince? Why does the emperor seem to dislike me because Rong Concubine is gone?"
Somehow, Hetai felt a little sour in his heart, saying that the mother is more expensive than the son, but how can he be more like the son is more expensive than the mother?
