Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dust Has Settled
Everything on the altar is arranged by me, and it is also done by me (cāo). Niangniang always thought that the old slave was praying for the blessing of the fourteenth prince, until now (ri) the old slave was bumped into by the mother when he was doing it, and the mother knew that the old slave had been deceiving her all along. ”
Since ancient times, the emperor's anger has never been something that ordinary people can bear.
Witchcraft and sneaky things are a taboo in the palace, and this time the emperor saw the cruelty of the prince in the harem, which is even more of a crime.
Zhao Guifei also smiled bitterly at the right time, looked up at Chu Hongzhen, and choked up, "The concubine believes that the mother is also confused for a while, so it made a big mistake, so today the concubine is persuading the mother to accept the altar, but I didn't expect the emperor to come in at this time." I still hope that the emperor and the emperor ......"
Halfway through his words, he held his forehead and looked at the emperor pitifully, a concubine who was wronged and innocent.
With Zhao Guifei's eyes red and weak (j) wind, it is really a pitiful appearance of (jiāo) flowers being destroyed.
Su Guifei looked at Zhao Guifei's disgusting pretentiousness, and she was angry.
This woman still wants to pretend to be pitiful and charm the emperor in an attempt to turn (shēn)?
Don't!
Concubine Su wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded with Chu Hongzhen, "Your Majesty, think twice!" The concubine thought that there were still doubts about this matter, and asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
Chu Hongzhen didn't speak for a long time, and the people present didn't dare to take a breath for a while, for fear of arousing the wrath of the Son of Heaven.
In fact, Chu Hongzhen didn't know how a mere mother could have such courage, there must be a hidden (qg) in it.
Hongyi is his prince, how could he not want to order a thorough investigation.
But he was also a king.
Zhao Guifei's maiden family is now powerful, and Wu has repeatedly offended the border.
Moreover, Chu Hongzhen still refused to believe that Zhao Guifei would be the mastermind.
It's true that I'm a concubine, I'm jealous, and I may have had a thought difference.
But she would never have had the audacity to do such a rebellious thing.
Chu Hongzhen had already made up his mind, and when he looked at Concubine Su Guifei (QG), he inevitably brought out a little complaint.
Concubine Su has always been a person who understands the general situation, why is she so ignorant this time.
He cleared his throat and looked at Su Guifei intentionally or unintentionally, "Although this matter was caused by Su Guifei's brutal treatment of her subordinates, you should never use this as a reason to kill the royal heir, and the death penalty cannot be escaped." As for Concubine Zhao, this matter started because of your mother, and she has already pleaded guilty, so I will not pursue it. ”
Halfway through his words, Chu Hongzhen turned his head: "Zhao Guifei, although you have nothing to do with this matter, you are not strict in disciplining your subordinates." I will punish you (j) for two months, and think about it behind closed doors. I also hope that the concubine will be strictly disciplined in the future, do you have any complaints? ”
"The concubine has no complaints."
As soon as Chu Hongzhen's words were finished, Zhao Guifei lost her strength almost instantly, and sat on the ground with shortness of breath for a while.
Fortunately, the emperor believed in himself this time, and it can be regarded as not in vain (ru) mother's hard work.
Concubine Su was still a little unwilling, and wanted to say a few more words, but saw Chu Hongzhen staring at her with a displeased face.
Is the emperor warning himself that something is going on?
Concubine Su has always been observant of words and feelings, and as soon as she looked at the emperor's table (qg), she knew that this time she brought the emperor and a group of idle people here to make trouble, which was really difficult for the emperor to do.
If he really forced the emperor to convict Zhao Guifei of mutilating the prince today, and the harem concubines persecuted the royal heirs, such a scandal was spread, how could the royal face exist?
Moreover, the emperor has always been biased towards Hongyi and himself.
If he really ignores the overall situation now, the emperor will definitely think that he is a mean woman with such an aggressive (bi) person's small belly and chicken intestines, and his impression in the emperor's heart will definitely plummet in the future.
Since ancient times, the emperor's (ài) meaning of admiration is the most unbearable to polish.
Concubine Su weighed the pros and cons and quickly had a plan.
Thus slay a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred. It's really not a good deal!
Today (ri) incident can be regarded as a big injury to Zhao Guifei's vitality, it is better to sell it well, and then cry a few words to the emperor when he goes back, with his status in the emperor's heart, he will definitely be able to get some benefits for Hongyi.
At this time, it was obviously not suitable to say more, so Su Guifei also suppressed this change and silently retreated behind Chu Hongzhen (shēn).
The evidence is conclusive, and Zhao's mother got her wish and took the blame.
As soon as Chu Hongzhen gave an order, someone came up and dragged her down to die.
Zhao Guifei couldn't feel anything at this, she knelt there numbly, begging Lord Su Guifei to forgive her a lot
"My sister is kind-hearted, so forgive my sister for not being strict with discipline this time. From now on, my sister will strictly control the palace people in Shufang Palace, and she will never let such a thing happen again. ”
"I also hope that the emperor and his sister will read the concubines of Zhao's mother for many years, and let the concubines say goodbye to her." Zhao Guifei slammed her head on the ground with a sound, and the sound of 'knock knock' continued.
Su Guifei pretended to be unbearable, and hurriedly helped her up, "Sister is serious, I don't blame my sister for this." It's all damn sons. Your Majesty, look at ......," he said, turning his head and pretending to be embarrassed to look at Chu Hongzhen.
Chu Hongzhen doted on Su Guifei, "It's all up to the (ài) concubine to decide." ”
Zhao Guifei knew that the emperor was deliberately trying to bring back the scene for Su Guifei, so she had to reluctantly pull out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and made a gesture to kneel down for Su Guifei.
In order to gain a good reputation, Su Guifei naturally would not refuse Zhao Guifei's request, she stepped forward very sensibly when Zhao Guifei was about to kneel on the ground, and helped her, "Sister, what are you doing!" My sister and Zhao's mother are masters and servants, and they must be masters and servants (qg) deep in Ping, and they should go for a ride. How could my sister have the intention of blocking it? ”
Su Guifei's generosity was seen by Chu Hongzhen. Seeing that she was obviously deeply affected after this incident and pretended to be strong to stand by her side (shēn), her heart was inevitably a little touched, and the little displeasure just now dissipated in an instant, and she just wanted to comfort and comfort her when there would be no one.
The crowd finally left, and there were only Zhao Guifei, Zhao (ru) mother and the guards waiting to carry out the order in Shufang Palace.
Zhao Guifei held Zhao's mother's hand tightly, and said in a fierce tone, "(ru) mother, go with peace of mind." This palace will avenge you. ”
Soon Zhao's mother was dragged down roughly, and in the stuffy air, she could only hear her heart-rending shout, "Little Miss, the slave is wrong!" You're going to have to take care of yourself from now on! ”
The thunder was rumbling, and it was raining heavily outside.
Zhao Guifei sat in front of the window with a dejected expression, and her face seemed to be several years older for a moment.
"Okay, you Concubine Su! Do you think you'll be able to bring down Hongu in this way? It's not that easy! Zhao Guifei's face was hideous, and she let out (y) Sensen's laughter: "This palace is not with you!" Wait and see. Hehehehehe......"
"It's a pity that Zhao Guifei was cheaper, such a vicious woman, and the emperor only punished her for being locked up."
Cheng Xiaoxiao and Chu Hongyi hid in the dark to watch this play, she pouted in a little disappointment, and did not stop helping those little ghosts raised by Zhao Guifei to reincarnate.
The little ghosts are only two or three years old, and their wishes are also strange, and they are very children.
Either they want to eat snacks like sugar gourds or they want new toys, Chu Hongyi helped Cheng Xiaoxiao satisfy them in the same way.
When it was Doudou's turn, Doudou told Cheng Xiaoxiao that he wanted to see if his mother was now reincarnated and doing well.
Cheng Xiaoxiao showed him the picture that emerged from Yu Perry - a handsome scholar was writing hard at his desk, looking at his bright clothes and dignified appearance.
Doudou smiled with satisfaction, although a hundred years have passed, and his mother has been reincarnated many times, but seeing that he is living well in this life, he can feel at ease.
Although Doudou really wanted to hug her again, and sprinkle a (jiāo) next to her (shēn) to be naughty.
When the gathering and dispersion are over, Doudou's wish has been fulfilled, so naturally he can't stay for a long time, and he didn't forget to give Cheng Xiaoxiao the most classic grimace before leaving.
Cheng Xiaoxiao scolded the "little ghost" with a smile, but the corners of her eyes were secretly a little moist.
Chu Hongyi is not convenient to appear in the palace now, and he has to go back to Jinxiu (diàn) to see Chu Hongzhen first, so he can't send Cheng Xiaoxiao out of the palace.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao came, she was a person, a cat and a ghost, and when she went back, she was the only one left, and she was inevitably a little lonely.
Fortunately, this play can be regarded as a successful ending, and Cheng Xiaoxiao's hard work was not in vain.
After this (ri) Zhao Guifei's altar was destroyed, Chu Hongyi's 'illness' was cured almost at the same time.
In Weiyang Palace, Concubine Su Guifei, who had been turned over, was waiting for Chu Hongzhen to change his clothes.
The slender jade hands were originally concentrating on untying Chu Hongzhen, but they suddenly lowered their heads and stopped there.
Chu Hongzhen waited for a long time and didn't wait for her next move, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart
"(ài) Why did the concubine stop?"
Concubine Su raised her head slowly, her black hair was scattered behind her head, her eyes were red, and she was about to kneel down for Chu Hongzhen when she choked up.
"The emperor forgives the sins. The concubine just suddenly thought that Hongyi Jin's face was still not very good when he asked for peace, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. disturbed the emperor's elegance, please punish the emperor. ”
Chu Hongzhen was also a little unbearable when he thought of Hongyi, that child was obedient, smart and likable since he was a child.
This time, I was sick for a long time because of the villain's trouble, and I didn't go to see him much......
He hurriedly helped Su Guifei to sit down beside (chuáng), and touched her long soft hair with pity, "Hongyi has indeed suffered this time, I promise you, I will compensate him well." ”
Concubine Su obediently leaned on Chu Hongzhen's arms, quickly concealed the complexity in her eyes, and still looked worried, "The concubine is not for this ......"
"Oh? What does that (ài) concubine mean? Chu Hongzhen seemed to be very interested in Su Guifei's hair, his arm was wrapped around Su Guifei, and his slender fingers passed through the hair on the side of Su Guifei's neck, and he picked up a tuft and played with it in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are talking about business." Su Guifei (jiāo) was so ashamed that she pushed Chu Hongzhen with her hand, and her every move was full of charm.
Chu Hongzhen, who was watching, couldn't wait to immediately correct her on the spot.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are worried that there will be people who don't have long eyes to hurt Hongyi later."
"The emperor is busy with state affairs, so it is naturally impossible to keep an eye on the affairs of the harem. The queen has always been happy and quiet, and she does not interfere in everything easily. If it weren't for the emperor's decision this time, Hongyi would have been too late...... The concubine thought that she couldn't protect Hongyi, if it was too late next time...... The concubine was very uneasy. ”
"I know."
When it came to Chu Hongyi's incident this time, Chu Jingzhen also had palpitations.
He stopped teasing Concubine Su and thought seriously for a moment.
"That being the case, how about the concubine who will help the queen to assist in the sixth palace from now on? I think Hongyi won't have any more accidents under the nose of you, the mother concubine. ”
After hearing this, Su Guifei was overjoyed, and was busy getting up (shēn) to salute, but was pressed in Chu Hongzhen's arms, "(ài) Concubine is satisfied?" ”
I only heard Su Guifei (jiāo) dripping "Emperor", and no words came out later.
(diàn) soon (chun) light leaks out, (jiāo) gasps again and again.
