The prison in the palace is built underground, and is guarded by guards of the Imperial Forest Army on weekdays.

Zhu Qijue obeyed the queen's decree and led a group of imperial guards to take over the prison.

The prison has three floors, each of which is separated by a certain distance. The princes and Concubine Wei Xian Zheng Jieyu were locked up on the third floor, and the Marquis of Jinning was locked up on the second floor. The princess and the princess and the granddaughters of the emperor are on the first floor.

The eldest prince has two sons and two daughters, the fourth prince has a concubine and a concubine, and the fifth prince has only one concubine under his knees. The youngest is under the age of one, and the oldest is only six or seven years old.

The children were ignorant and were led into the prison from the mourning hall, and at first they thought the small and gloomy prison was quite interesting. As soon as half a day passed, they began to make a fuss about leaving. The crying has not stopped in the past two days, and the crying in the prison has come and gone.

The eldest princess's eyes were swollen from crying, and to this day, she can't cry anymore. He sat on the ground stunned, without saying a word, like a statue.

The concubine and the concubine are young, and the crying is annoying. Her son, Brother Xun, is seven years old, the oldest of the children, and he has reached the age of sensibility.

Brother Xun sat silently beside his mother, holding his mother's cold hand.

The eldest princess glanced at her son in a trance, and then laughed miserably: "Brother Xun, your father made a big mistake and died a dead end." We're going to be burdened by him this time. ”

The eldest prince is ambitious and has a stubborn and crazy obsession with the throne. took a risk, took this step of dead chess.

Rebellion is a capital crime, and half of the second prince's concubine's mother and son were able to escape that day because the second prince was Queen Pei's sister-in-law. Now, how could Queen Pei not cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

Brother Xun'er's eyes were red, and he asked in a low voice, "Mother, will we die?" ”

The eldest princess thought that her tears had dried up. When he heard these few words, he cried bitterly.

She reached out and hugged her brother and cried heartbreakingly.

It's just that she's dead. On such a frightened day, she had already lived enough. But her son is still young! Not yet an adult.

She really hates the eldest prince now.

If he wants to die himself, why should he involve their mother and son?

"Mother, I'm afraid." Brother Xun also cried quietly, and he put his thin arms around his mother. The sleeping sister on the side was awakened, and she also crawled over and got into the arms of her mother's brother: "Mother, eldest brother, I'm also afraid." ”

The eldest princess hugged a pair of children and tears: "Don't be afraid." We are three mothers and sons, born together and dead together. When we got to the Yellow Springs underground, we were still together. ”

Concubine Liang and Concubine Ye on the side also hugged the child and cried.

……

A terrible cry floated out of the crack in the door and into another cell a few meters away.

The fourth princess, Wei Fanghua, looked blank and silently hugged the son in her arms. Her son was just over a year old and had just learned to be called Father and Princess.

The concubine on the side was even younger, only one year old, and was held in the arms of his mother. I'm tired of crying and already asleep.

If you go to the prison, will there be a day to get out?

After she married the fourth prince, the husband and wife respected each other like guests and were tepid. The fourth prince likes to raise a few beautiful chamberlains in the study, but she just doesn't know. After becoming pregnant and giving birth to her son, she breathed a deep sigh of relief.

With an heir, she no longer has to force herself to be close to the four princes. In the future, raise your son well, her husband can't be trusted, just rely on her son.

She doesn't care about wealth and power, as long as she can live in peace.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes. Even such a small wish was ruthlessly shattered.

The moment she knew that the fourth prince and the fifth prince conspired to assassinate the crown prince, she despaired.

After entering the prison, the crying of the eldest princess did not stop. She didn't cry or shout, she just kept holding her baby. When the child was crying, she gently patted the child's back and said silently in her heart.

Child, you have the wrong birth. In the next life, my eyes will be brighter, I will vote for a good family, and I will live peacefully for a lifetime.

……

In the cell on the other side, instead of crying, there was shouting and scolding.

It is the fifth princess Zheng Qinghan.

"Come on, let me out!"

"What the five princes have done, what does it have to do with me. It's not me who takes a dagger to assassinate the prince. Why do you want to put me in prison! Hurry up and let me out! I'm going to see the Queen Mother! ”

The crazy shouts have hardly stopped since Zheng Qinghan entered the prison. In the past two days, Zheng Qinghan has been hoarse, and he still refuses to give up, and he has to shout ten times or eight times every day.

Zheng Qinghan's crazy screams failed to attract anyone. But frightened the baby girl in the same cell.

This baby girl was born to the side concubine of the fifth prince and was less than a year old. The baby girl was frightened by her mother's ghost-like screams, and her tender little voice couldn't cry anymore, and her little arms and legs twitched and twitched, looking pitiful.

The fifth prince's side concubine also cried with red eyes, and pleaded in a low voice while crying: "The princess and concubine, Sister Wei is still young, and she can't help but be scared." Begging the mother to stop shouting......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Qinghan rushed over like a mad cow, stretched out his hand and slapped the side concubine twice: "What am I going to do, you also deserve to be more talkative." ”

The two heavy slaps of the five princes and concubines made their eyes burst into gold stars, and they fell to the ground in despair. However, it is the nature of mothers to protect their children. It was at this moment that the concubines of the fifth prince still hugged their daughter tightly.

She curled up and held her daughter in her arms. silently endured the kicking behind him.

Zheng Qinghan vented all his anger and resentment on the side concubine, punched and kicked and was still angry, and reached out to snatch the baby girl from the side concubine: "It's all this mourning star, since she was born, there has been no good thing." I can't survive anyway, give her to me, and I'll kill her right now. ”

The baby girl couldn't cry, and her little face was red.

The side concubine, who has been gritting her teeth and being obedient, can't bear it anymore.

She jumped up like crazy, tried her best to get her daughter back, and then hit her head Zheng Qinghan's stomach. Zheng Qinghan didn't expect this cowardly woman to dare to resist, and when she was caught off guard, she was stumbled and fell, and the back of her head hit the edge of the bed.

There was a sharp pain in the back of the head, and a moist and hot liquid slowly flowed out.

Zheng Qinghan rolled his eyes and fainted.

The eyes of the fifth princess and concubine were full of tears, and she hugged her daughter tightly, and kept whispering: "Sister Wei, don't be afraid." Whoever dares to hurt you a little, I will spare this life, and I will not spare her. ”

There is a difference between dignity and inferiority. On weekdays, in the Five Princes' Mansion, she doesn't know how much she has suffered. Whoever makes her a side concubine is a concubine, and any grievances can only be suffered.

But there are times when she can't bear it.

Her daughter is the flesh of her heart, and the fifth princess wants to kill her daughter, and she must no longer back down and endure it.
