Chapter 215: Salvation
The queen was shocked, raised her eyes to look at the emperor in disbelief, and saw a faint irony in his eyes.
Her heart was cold again.
realized that although today's events were the beginning of her, the result was no longer out of her control.
The queen doesn't know what she is doing, obviously she should be upright! Obviously, Shen Nianzhen is the one who is the one who believes in it...... However, she still felt empty in her heart, and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
The queen's hunch was not wrong.
The people sent to invite the Liao family outside the palace did not arrive, but a few imperial doctors who went to check Su Muwan's pulse had already returned, and when they walked up to the main hall, everyone looked at them eagerly, expecting to hear the answer they wanted the most from their mouths.
The queen looked at the few imperial doctors who were completely out of her control, and closed her eyes slightly, to hide her panic.
The emperor coughed slightly, looked around, looked at the imperial doctor with a smile and asked, "How is it?" Is the health of the third princess okay? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this ...... This ......"
Hearing the question, Imperial Physician Lin, who was the leader, immediately spoke, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"What? Can't speak? The result is as it is! There is no need to hide! The smile on the emperor's face disappeared a little, and he said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Qin came forward from behind and said: "When Weichen waited for the palace where the third princess lived, her subordinates did not let us in on the grounds that the princess was unwell and had rested......
When the queen heard this, her head buzzed!
Idiot! Idiot! How could she be such a calculating person, and give birth to such a fool!
Doesn't this open the gate and lead the enemy in?
The queen couldn't help but glance at the second prince Rong Chen, and sure enough, she saw him with his head down, with a faint mocking smile on his lips.
The queen immediately gritted her teeth.
Her son is not as smart and clever as Rong Chen, so what!
Anyway, I will take the throne from him personally, and I will marry him the most beautiful woman in the world! The world and the country will belong to her son in the future!
And Rong Chen, he is nothing!
"And then?" I just listened to the emperor ask.
Concubine Qi looked at several imperial doctors with a concerned face on the side, waiting for them to reply.
"Later, Weichen waited for the palace, and it was a good way to block, at this time, His Royal Highness the Third Prince heard that the Third Prince and the Concubine had fallen asleep, so he hesitated, he didn't want Weichen to disturb his wife, but before he spoke, Weichen told him that it was His Majesty's intention to come to diagnose the peace pulse of the Three Princes, and no one could stop him, and later, His Royal Highness the Third Prince agreed, and he led us into the room of the Three Princesses."
"And then?" Concubine Qi couldn't wait to ask.
She can't wait to know the results!
The emperor turned his head and glanced at her lightly, but said nothing. The queen glanced at Concubine Qi with a knife-like gaze on the side.
"Later, after some twists and turns, Weichen and others took the pulse for the three princesses." Imperial Physician Qin spoke.
"The result? How is it? The Emperor asked lightly.
"As a result, the third princess did have a miscarriage, and her body was very deficient in blood, so she needed to take good care of it." Several imperial physicians replied.
As soon as the words fell, the queen let out a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, she looked at Shen Nianzhen with smugness, and snorted coldly: "County Lord Roujia, what else do you have to say now?!" ”
Shen Nianzhen's face was calm, neither surprised nor panicked, he only smiled faintly at the queen, and then looked at several imperial doctors with a calm face: "Is it just like this?" Is there anything you don't have to say? ”
"Your Majesty." At this time, Imperial Physician Xu, who was standing behind, suddenly stepped forward and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "After Wei Chen waited for the pulse, he found that the third princess did have a miscarriage, but it was not today, it should have been a miscarriage three days ago......"
Before the queen's smile could be relaxed, it turned into consternation because of these words.
"What do you say? Wan'er had a miscarriage before? How is this possible! How can it be! She stared angrily at several imperial doctors, especially Imperial Physician Xu, eager to stare at a hole in him, or burn Imperial Physician Xu to death with that angry gaze.
Imperial Physician Xu came into contact with Empress Chen's gaze, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, he still straightened his spine, and said in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, this is the unanimous decision of Weichen and others after all the three princesses have diagnosed the pulse, the miscarriage of the three princesses is indeed not today, don't think that you can get through the test by getting a bunch of blood stains and making a weak appearance, the imperial doctors rely on the pulse to diagnose the pulse, not the appearance." ”
With these words, she almost pointed at Su Muwan's nose and said that she was cheating.
When Empress Chen heard this, her face was ugly and ugly.
At this time, the emperor smiled, he glanced at Imperial Physician Xu, and asked again: "Imperial Physician Xu, can you be responsible for what you said?" ”
"Of course!" Imperial Physician Xu said fearlessly: "If the lower official has a lie, then the lower official will die without a place to be buried!" ”
Imperial Physician Qin next to him also spoke: "If Your Majesty asked the person who diagnosed the pulse of Weichen and others today, then what Imperial Physician Xu said is not wrong, that person did have a miscarriage three days ago, not today, this can't be concealed from the Imperial Doctor, and even as long as he is a person who has studied medical skills, he can't be deceived." ”
This is a profound statement.
It's simply saying that if they make a wrong diagnosis, it is also Su Muwan's deception, and it is not their doctor's business.
And is it possible for Su Muwan to cheat? No one knows about this.
After all, there is a difference between men and women, and even if the imperial doctors diagnose her pulse, they only see one wrist through the curtain, and they can't see the person behind the curtain.
The queen's face was pale, and her palms trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word to refute it.
In this game, she lost!
"Of course I believe in you." The emperor smiled, turned his head to look at the empress, who was pale, and asked with a smile, "Empress, how is it?" Do you still insist on demoting the second prince and sending him out of Beijing? ”
"Concubine ......" The queen stood up with an ugly face, and inhaled hard several times before she calmed herself down, she slowly raised her feet, walked to the emperor and knelt down, lowered her head and said with an embarrassed face: "Your Majesty, Wan'er is not sensible, she has wronged His Royal Highness the Second Prince, please forgive her for the sake of her being just a simple and kind little girl!" ”
She didn't reply to the emperor's words, but turned to intercede for Su Muwan.
After all, now that things have come to this point, it is a foregone conclusion that Su Muwan framed the second prince with a miscarriage, if she doesn't admit her mistake and pleads for her, it is very likely that the emperor will execute Su Muwan on the spot.
After all, Su Muwan is just a daughter-in-law, and Rong Chen is the emperor's son! How could a daughter-in-law kiss her son?
Especially when compared with Rong Chen, the result is even more tragic.
"Queen Mother, don't avoid the serious." Concubine Qi clinged to the emperor's arm on the side, and snorted coldly: "When I was about to drive my Chen'er out of Beijing just now, how justified and arrogant! What's going on now? When it's your son's turn and daughter-in-law's turn, do you want your majesty to forgive? According to the concubines, the queen should kill her relatives in righteousness, even if she is her own son, she should deal with it impartially, take away the status of the prince of the third prince, and degrade him to go out of Beijing! ”
"Nonsense!" When the clinker emperor heard this, he immediately became angry, shook off Concubine Qi's arm, and said sharply: "These things are planned by the third princess herself, what does it have to do with the third child!" ”
Concubine Qi was stunned when she heard this, and she was at a loss.
It is rare for an emperor to be so angry in front of his concubine, and today is the first time.
She was stunned, not knowing how to speak.
And Rong Chen and Shen Nianzhen, who were standing in the position of His Royal Highness's subordinates, saw it clearly, and the emperor was really annoyed.
It turned out that for the emperor, the three princes were the scales he couldn't touch.
The emperor really loves the three princes even more.
Shen Nianzhen's lips showed a faint mockery.
Who dares to say that this matter was just planned by the three princesses themselves, and the three princes did not know? The emperor wants to shield people, so you have nothing to say.
But at this moment, someone from the palace came in outside to report: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Liao, and the second lady of the Liao family have arrived." ”
The Emperor took a deep breath when he heard this.
Trying to calm the anger in his heart, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Nianzhen lightly, and asked meaningfully: "Lord Roujia, I heard that your relationship with the Liao family is very good?" The old lady of the Liao family treats you like her own granddaughter? ”
Shen Nianzhen has a big alarm bell in his heart!
Not good! The Emperor's anger spread to her......
This statement is very skeptical.
And the emperor's suspicions...... There is a high probability that it will cause a catastrophe!
This Concubine Qi is really not enough to succeed, and there are more than failures! One sentence provoked all the anger of the emperor! Turn this already victorious situation into a defeated situation......
Shen Nianzhen sighed helplessly.
Be cautious in this answer.
Thinking quickly in his mind, after a while, Shen Nianzhen raised his head, looked at the emperor with a calm face, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Mrs. Liao does treat her courtiers like granddaughters, this is something that all people in Shangjing know, and there is nothing to hide, because the second lady of the Liao family, that is, the stepmother of the courtier, the scar on her face was cured by the courtier. ”
Since Liao Fangru's wedding, the rumors that her face was injured but she still looked like a fairy have spread throughout Shangjing, and people have spread the word of mouth, telling her elegance and beauty at the wedding, as well as her generosity, accompanied by ridicule of the second Mrs. Liao, because of her crazy behavior at the wedding, and the ugly scar on her face that cannot be erased.
Some people even said that when Second Mrs. Liao compares with Liao Fangru, she is simply the ugly toad.
The emperor had probably heard a few words about these things, so when Shen Nianzhen said it, he was not surprised at all, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Did you heal the scar on Miss Liao's face? ”
"Yes." Shen Nianzhen replied.
"That's pretty surprising." The emperor glanced at Shen Nianzhen again, and the sharpness in his eyes had already gone a little: "Just because of this, you rushed to Liao's house to live the day before your father got married?" And then give others a chance to take advantage of it? ”
"Yes." Shen Nianzhen still nodded.
Through these few words, the emperor has already guessed the content of this whole thing. He sighed slightly in his heart.
"Tell the people of the Liao family to step down, after all, this is a scandal of the royal family, and it is not good to spread it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the courtiers will go out and tell them in person." Shen Nian Allah spoke.
The emperor was very satisfied with her actions, and nodded and smiled at the moment: "The county lord of Roujia is really a good girl, and it is really a blessing for Chen'er to marry you." ”
"Your Majesty has praised it." Shen Nianzhen said modestly and embarrassedly: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is also very good, and the courtiers have always felt that they are high. ”
"Hahaha!" The Emperor burst out laughing at the words.
The laughter was a little abrupt in the dead hall.
But the emperor was really happy.
Concubine Qi and the queen on the side looked at this scene blankly, and they didn't understand where the emperor was happy.
After the emperor finished laughing, he waved his hand and asked Shen Nianzhen to go out to deal with the people of the Liao family outside the hall, and after she left, his face completely cooled, and then looked at the queen: "Don't put your mind on my harem every day, and deal with this concubine and that concubine all day long!" Take care of your son's backyard too! ”
These words were very serious, and the queen's heart immediately froze, and even though she knelt down, she said with some grievances: "Follow Your Majesty's teachings, the concubine understands." ”
She was completely punished because of Su Muwan!
Su Muwan......
The queen's hands on her knees clenched the silk skirt tightly......
When Concubine Qi heard these words, her heart tightened with pride, but because the emperor she had just provoked was angry, she finally had a lesson and didn't dare to speak easily.
"The second child was wronged today." The Emperor spoke slowly, "Haven't you been recuperating all these days? I see that you are almost recuperating, the secretary of the military department was dismissed last month, and the military department is a mess, so you can take over and choose a scholar candidate for me. ”
Ask Rong Chen to recommend a candidate for the secretary of the military department? Isn't that a clear gift of this position to him? Rong Chen's recommendation must be his own person!
The emperor apologized......
The queen showed a look of jealousy and unwillingness on the side.
"The retainers obey." Rong Chen didn't expect that his legs were not yet well, so he came to the door with such a thing, he was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly apologized to the emperor.
"As for the queen, let's think about it behind closed doors for a month, and the harem affairs will be handed over to Concubine Zhang and Concubine Zhao to manage it together."
When the queen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly knelt down to thank her: "The concubine obeys the order." ”
The emperor rewarded and punished for a while, and finally his eyes fell on the outside of the entrance of the main hall.
Why did Shen Nianzhen go for so long and still haven't come back? Originally, he had planned to reward her.
However, this girl is afraid that she is deliberately avoiding all this, right?
That's it.
He sighed lightly and said, "As for the third princess......
The queen's heart suddenly hung again, what is the emperor going to do with Su Muwan? She's the one who got it all going!
"The third child needs a princess who can guide him correctly, not a woman who causes trouble all day long and admires the outside." The emperor glanced at the queen lightly and said, "Demote her to a side concubine, in this month, the queen will re-select a concubine for the three princes, and strive to hold the wedding at the end of the year." ”
Su Muwan was just demoted to a side concubine? It's really cheap for her.
Shen Nianzhen heard this voice outside the main hall, and a faint sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
However, she couldn't help it, and this was already the best result.
Inside the room, the queen was thanking.
She sincerely thanked the emperor, because through this incident, she was completely tired of Su Muwan, the daughter-in-law, and now she was able to choose a princess for her son again by the holy decree, which was naturally better.
Rong Chen knelt beside Concubine Qi expressionlessly, indifferent to the emperor's punishment.
From the moment Su Muwan wronged him, he completely regarded him as an irrelevant person, whether she was dead or alive, what did she have to do with him?
"Okay, let's all step down, there is no time for me to worry about this day."
The emperor glanced at Rong Chen, saw the indifference in his eyes, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
……
When Rong Chen and Concubine Qi came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Shen Nianzhen stood quietly on the steps and waited for them.
The faint sunlight fell on her, and her face was plated with a layer of light gold dust, and the whole person was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
When Rong Chen saw her, a happy smile immediately appeared on his lips.
Concubine Qi said in disgust on the side: "Silly boy, what are you doing in a daze?" Come on! ”
Rong Chen nodded, pushing the wheelchair to walk slowly in front of Shen Nianzhen.
"Thank you." He said with a serious expression.
Shen Nianzhen not only rescued him from the abyss, she also rescued his heart.
It was precisely because of Shen Nian's real existence that he would be able to come out so quickly in the face of Su Muwan's betrayal and revenge.
From this point of view, Shen Nian really saved him.
"We don't need to say such vulgar things between us." Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this, glanced at him seriously, and said, "I know that the prince went to the palace to find Su Muwan to seek justice for me, how could I not come?" ”
A gust of wind blew, blowing the hem of her clothes, but it happened to be entangled with Rong Chen's long brocade sleeves, lingering, never separated.
Concubine Qi heard this on the side, but she suddenly realized.
It turned out that Chen'er went to see Su Muwan for Shen Nianzhen, but she suffered revenge and wrongdoing.
And after Shen Nianzhen knew about it, he immediately rushed into the palace to save him and avenge him.
These two people, who like each other and love each other, are indeed the best couple.
She sighed deeply, feeling a little regretful for her past prejudices. After experiencing today's incident, Concubine Qi has understood that she hopes that her son Rongchen can live happily than her own happiness.
