Chapter 156: Late Spring (9)

"You let me go and see" The concubine grabbed His Majesty, His Majesty pressed his eyes, he thought that the concubine pulled him to change his mind, but he didn't expect that he was still bent on going his own way.

"Niangniang, I don't know what the situation is outside now, it doesn't matter if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives or dies, but if you go out, if there is a rebellion outside, and you are caught by the rebels, you can be used to blackmail Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince. Who is the person who just sent the news? "I asked my father-in-law, who had been His Majesty's personal attendant, and had been with His Majesty since he was a teenager.

"It's Ah Xi next to His Highness, he is the prince's attendant, and he has served Her Highness since she was eleven years old." Father-in-law Li also asked about the matter clearly before coming in.

The concubine's eyes darkened, "Ah Xi is loyal to the prince, if he said it, then this matter..."

"Then go out and die with your son." His Majesty was furious, and swept everything off the table with a single palm.

"No, concubine." I grabbed her with both hands, the concubine was really stubborn and shafty, it was difficult to convince her, His Majesty was obviously angry, this would make her get up from the ground and go in the direction of the outside of the palace.

"Concubine Xian, don't pull her, if she wants to die by herself, she will go by herself." As I spoke, the concubine had already broken free from my hand and went out of the door, and the concubine wore a single coat and a cloak, and went out, and I said to the concubine's maid, "Don't take the clothes for the concubine to put on, and then stop her." ”

The maid had to order one by one to run out, His Majesty did not deny my statement, and then said eagerly to Gonggong Li, "She is not allowed to leave the palace, even if she is knocked out, she cannot be allowed to leave the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gonggong Li didn't react for a while, but he went out immediately.

"Your Majesty, what's the situation now?"

"What else can it be, it's those two rebels who are the opposite."

"What about His Royal Highness the Prince?" I said with some pain in my heart.

"I'm afraid that too, there will be less bad luck. You go back to the palace and take a good look at Huan'er, he can't have anything to do anymore. ”

"Huan, Huan'er?" I was a little incredulous, His Majesty didn't expect me to ask him back, so he walked up to me in two steps, took my hand and pressed down, "You, keep your mouth shut." No one would think their son was climbing high. Remember, I can't say a word in front of Huan'er. You don't have any way now, contact your brother, go and contact now, if there is really chaos outside the city, there will be no mercy. ”

"The three princes and the six princes..."

"Didn't you listen to me? If it is opposed, it will be killed. ”

"Yes, yes" I hung my head and came out of the hall, looking at the marks on my wrist, His Majesty had scratched out, he really used great strength, I touched these red marks, and my heart sank.

As soon as I went out, I met the queen who came in a hurry, she was a little panicked, looked up at me and asked, "Is Your Majesty inside?" ”

"Yes," I folded my sleeves and nodded.

"Something big happened" The queen was not ignorant, obviously she also realized that something big had happened.

I nodded, "Your Majesty thinks that the three kings and the six kings are reversed." ”

"Reverse? What about the Prince? Where is the prince? ”

"Prince, it seems to be dead."

"Empress..."His Majesty heard the Empress's voice and raised his voice to call her.

"Yes," the queen stepped in.

This day has really changed, but it was just a night of work, but I feel like ten years is long.

I looked at Huan'er and Yining, who were lying on my bed, sleeping soundly, and reached out to touch Yining's hair, with a lot of thoughts in my heart.

It's still dawn, and before the bell rings, Huan'er rubs his eyes and gets up, he always goes to morning class at this hour every day, and he sits for four or five hours, and he is used to getting up at this hour.

He saw me still sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his throat, and said with great concern, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

"You don't have to go to morning class today, and your master can't enter the palace if you want to, so you can sleep for a while." I tucked the quilt for Yining and touched her black hair again.

"Did something happen?" Last night, when Huan'er was brought in, she also asked this question.

"Huan'er, the eldest brother and the third brother and the sixth brother had a fight, and your father is dealing with the aftermath, so he won't let people come to the palace, and he won't be able to attend today's morning class." I helped him and wanted him to sleep for a while, but he was cautious, for fear of waking up my sister beside me, and after closing his eyes for a while, he sat up again and said to me, "The teacher said, review the old and learn the new, if you can't go to class for a day, I will first review what the teacher taught yesterday." ”

"Okay, whatever you want." I nodded, and then dressed him personally, Huan'er is fifteen years old this year, and the daughter of the Zheng family is set, and she will get married in two months, I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Mother, is the eldest brother okay?" Huan'er, who had already walked to the door, turned her head to me and said to me.

I nodded, "Of course he's fine." ”

"I dreamed of him last night." Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice, he was too cautious by my side, maybe the palace room was too small in the past, and he was used to talking like this.

"What did your eldest brother say to you in your dream?" I asked

He didn't say anything, his head was still dripping with blood, and he rode west.

I wanted to smile and comfort him, but now was the time to laugh, and I said to him, "Your big brother will be fine." ”

"That's good, my son will go out first." He turned and left my room, he was already an adult who was about to marry a wife, and he was still a little uncomfortable with his mother and sister like this, and I sighed, a day like this must be getting harder and harder.

When Father-in-law Li hurriedly came, I was combing Yining's hair, this girl had messy hair, and her maids didn't dare to comb her, for fear of hurting her, so I was a little better when I combed her.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Li?" I put down the comb and walked outside, only to see that Father-in-law Li's face had changed greatly, and there were blood stains on his sleeves.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the concubine Niangniang woke up, knowing, knowing the bad news of His Royal Highness the Prince, no one can persuade her, when Your Majesty arrived, she was getting self-harm, Your Majesty, let you go over and persuade her."

"Me? How can I persuade her? "It's also thanks to Your Majesty that I am not close to the concubine, I even suspect that she has harmed Can'er and done some bad things to her, how can I persuade her?

"Your Majesty asked you to come over, you should go and have a look first"

"Okay" In that case, I'd better go over and take a look.

When I came to the palace where the concubine was, I looked at His Majesty who was holding her, and bowed, but His Majesty didn't see me, and all his attention was on the concubine, "You can't treat me like this, you left me, who is with me?" ”

After I heard this, although my face was indifferent, but somehow, my heart was like being cut by a knife, but this kind of emotion, I have become accustomed to burying it in my stomach.

"Talk to me. We will have children again, I have chosen a place in your hometown of Jinling, I am going to build a palace, you said, Luoyang's winter is too cold, we will go to Jinling Palace in winter, what do you think? ”

The concubine still didn't speak, her clothes were a little messy, the knife was thrown aside, there was gauze on her wrists and neck, the wound on her wrist was deeper, and the blood had already soaked out at this time. She was like a piece of wood, and she didn't react at all.

"Lady Gui, everything will be fine. You also have a daughter, and the favor of Your Majesty. You have always been the most envious of all women in the palace, and what we envy is not that you have three children, but that you have been favored by His Majesty from now on. His Majesty is also very sad to lose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the more this time, the more you two are the parents of His Royal Highness the Prince, you should comfort each other, snuggle together, and heal the pain in your hearts. ”

"Yini's husband was chosen by me, and I am still very satisfied with General Hu's son. This child did not take the road of military service like his father, but came up from the scientific examination all the way, and now he is the servant Wenlang of Bingcao, and he is a bright and infinite. Yi Ni likes to be good-looking, I see him every day, but he is really good-looking, Yi Ni must like it when she sees it. ”

The two of us mentioned the only child of the concubine, and no mother would not want to ask a few words when she heard about her daughter's marriage, and sure enough, she seemed to come and asked, "Really?" ”

"Yes, you always say that Yini is a little willful, and someone restricts her when she marries, so it's good to accept her temperament. I found this Xiaohu Lord, who is a clerk, and his temperament is the most delicate and calm, and he must love and endure her, and he can restrain her well. His Majesty stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears of the concubine, he was not professional, and he was so gentle.

"Niangniang, for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess, you have to cheer up. I heard that Madame Hu is a well-behaved and big-tempered person, if she despises the princess, and Her Majesty is busy with state affairs, who will be angry with the princess? ”

"That's not good, my mother-in-law has big rules and temperament, Yini, you can't stand it!"

"That's because I'm not thinking about it thoroughly, so you wait, I'll pick again." His Majesty saw that the concubine's eyes began to shine again, and he was a little relieved, and then looked at her eyes stupidly, as if a few rays of light in those eyes were something that His Majesty wanted to spend his life on.

The concubine was temporarily persuaded to leave, and the prince was deceived by the third prince to Changyanmen, and then made a trip under his horse, and His Royal Highness the prince fell off the horse and died on the spot.

And the six princes originally thought it was a small fight, but as soon as they saw this battle, they immediately turned back, and the third prince suddenly thought that the prince was dead, and the sixth brother listened to everything, and there was a little seven, who was not favored and submissive, so he swaggered and led thousands of unknown recruits in the south camp, and came in from Changyanmen, but before he entered the main road, he was discovered by the escort army, and the Changyanmen defenders who opened the door to him also found that something was wrong, so the two teams surrounded the three princes. The leader of the garrison is my younger brother Jiang Wan, he has received a secret order, the third prince is still obsessed, and was hacked to death by the rebel army, and the sixth prince has long been afraid of it, as soon as he saw Jiang Wan, he immediately surrendered and saved his life.

His Majesty lost two princes overnight. He saw that after the concubine drank the medicine and fell asleep, the whole person could not hide his exhaustion, although he treated people coldly, but after all, he was not hard-hearted, he would also be tired and painful, he looked at me with a pair of red eyes, "You have done a good job in this matter, tell your brother, he may have to suffer some hardships and suffer some criticism because of the killing of the third prince, but you let him rest assured, I will definitely compensate him." ”

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" I couldn't help but ask him.

He nodded, "It's nothing, you first..."

I didn't wait for him to finish, so I helped him up, "The palace of the concubine is next to it, and the concubine body just now." I have already asked the Imperial Doctor to prescribe a soothing soup for you, so let you take a nap for half an hour, you should rest first. ”

He didn't refuse, thinking that he was really tired. After a few steps, he sat down on his shoulder.

I folded the quilt for him, and left the tent, and as soon as I walked out of the room, the figure of the queen appeared at the door of my palace, and she was a little angry, and she did not know whether it was to me, or to His Majesty who was lying in the house.

Seeing her walking straight towards me, she must be right for me.

I bowed, but before I could stand up, I was slapped by the queen.

"Mother's anger." I knelt on the ground, I really felt her anger, I subconsciously remembered A-Niang's words, that is, desperately begging for mercy, maybe the other party will let you go, but now I don't have the idea of begging for mercy at all, since I am not a concubine, that is the queen, the person who killed Can'er, I am dead, and I have to pull her.

"I heard that it was the concubine you who went to persuade you?" After the queen said this, she still looked around, because she knew that His Majesty was inside.

"Yes, it's the concubine." I replied.

"She's useless anymore, what are you keeping her for? Watch her resurrect? ”

"Niangniang, you also said it, she is useless. It's useless to keep it and not to keep it. It's just that I see that His Majesty has no feelings for her, and if she dies, it will affect Your Majesty's mood. ”

"If she dies, she will die, can Your Majesty still accompany her?" The queen should also hate Your Majesty, Your Majesty's indifference to the queen, and the indifference to the death of the second prince, like a thorn, has completely killed the queen's heart.

"Yes. The concubine knows her mistakes. However, the concubine's mood has stabilized now, and she is now very concerned about her daughter's marriage, which is one of the reasons why the concubine can persuade her to come down. "I thought that since the concubine has no hope, but she and the queen are the most important link in Your Majesty's balance, if the two of them fight, won't I have to do it anymore?

When the queen heard this, she stopped talking, but turned and left. Leave me where I was, covering my aching face with my hands.

I think there are some things that I don't need to do at all, and if it is said that the evil people have to plant the evil fruit first, I am just the one who waters the evil fruit.
