Chapter 40: The Gao Sisters (2)

At this moment, Concubine Yu could no longer tell what she was feeling in her heart, she looked at King De helplessly and sadly, and replied:

"Yu Ze, you are really careless, how can you poison the holy water beads? It was a gift from the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom, you must know that you poisoned the holy water beads, if you confess your guilt now, it is not only a murder of your father, but also a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, your father hates this kind of thing the most, he will not let you go easily like last time, as long as you admit it, you will never be the emperor again, so you must not admit it, even if the whip hits you, you can't admit it! ”

Concubine Yu's gaze was very resolute, she paused slightly, and then continued,

"This time, our Gao family is planted in the hands of Xia Rui and the daughter of the Yun family, and it is already in a catastrophe, the queen and her brother...... I am ready to give up on me, only in this way can we keep our entire Gao family......"

However, King De still stubbornly insisted on his thoughts, and he said: "Mother, you can't confess!" Uncle also has a ...... in this matter."

"It's useless...... It's useless for you to say this......" Concubine Yu interrupted King De again, "Do you still expect your uncle to confess?!" The queen and I both rely on your uncle, our entire Gao family relies on your uncle, without your uncle, there is nothing! ”

"Mother concubine ......" King De suddenly shed tears, he knelt in front of the jade concubine, and said indignantly, "Mother concubine, I am unwilling, I am really unwilling...... Do you want me to grovel to the old woman of the queen in the future and be controlled by her for the rest of my life? Wouldn't I be exactly like her minions?! ”

Seeing this, the jade concubine was sad in her heart, she closed her eyes with great heartache, forced the tears in her eyes back, and opened her eyes again, her eyes were as cold as death, and she said to King De:

"Yue Wang Goujian can still taste his courage on a salary, what are you worth?! Yu Ze, you have to remember that you are a natural king, you can't be subservient to others all your life, the patience now is for the sake of the future take-off, a person, only if you learn to be patient first, can you be qualified to make others surrender to him! Although the queen is powerful, she also has her weakness, she has no son, and she can't have a son in her life, if she wants to stand tall in this palace for a long time, she must rely on the imperial heir, and you are her only choice. ”

Hearing this, King De nodded: "I know ......"

Concubine Yu reached out and lifted King De up from the ground, tidied up his messy clothes a little, and then continued:

"Yu Ze, a person, it's a good thing to be unwilling, it's better than a coward! This time, no matter what the result is, no matter what kind of grievances the mother will receive, as long as your future is preserved, the mother will be satisfied, so don't have resentment in your heart, especially don't resent the queen and your uncle, because, you still need them in the future, the mother believes in you, you will definitely be able to do what you want to do, and when you really become the emperor, what do you want to do to them, they have to listen to you, and they will prostrate at your feet and beg you! ”

Her eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, as if she had seen that her son had become the emperor.

"So, now, you have to hold back this breath in your heart and make good use of them, understand?"

King De nodded again and again, and said, "Mother, I hurt you...... It's all my fault......"

Concubine Yu no longer blamed King De, she wiped the tears on King De's face with the handkerchief in her hand, and admonished:

"Yu Ze, in the future, you can't be as impulsive as before, the queen is the master of the harem after all, don't go to her to poke her sore spots in front of her and make her ugly! Also, you have to be respectful to your uncle as always, he is your uncle after all, and he loves you after all, and in the future, if you have anything that you can't decide, you can ask your uncle. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I won't provoke the queen again......"

--------------------

The imperial doctors gave the emperor a dragon body according to Dugu Yexue's prescription, and after five days, the emperor's body was much better, and he could go to the court to deal with political affairs.

The emperor decreed that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple should thoroughly investigate the matter of the holy water beads.

During this period, Liu An, who was originally infected by the emperor and sent to Le'an Hall, recovered due to timely treatment and returned to the Chengqian Hall to serve.

The emperor was very happy to see Liu An.

During this time, there was no Liu An in charge of the Chengqian Palace, and the emperor always felt that the new palace people were not quick with their hands and feet.

Therefore, as soon as Liu An returned, the emperor immediately ordered Liu An to rearrange the palace people who served in the Chengqian Palace, and sent those palace people who were not clean and could not serve back to the Internal Affairs Office.

Liu An is the palace man who has been with the emperor for the longest time, and he knows the emperor's thoughts best, but he can arrange these trivial matters properly in one day.

He heard that the emperor was investigating the matter of the holy water beads, so he picked a time when no one was there and reported to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, after you were poisoned, when the servants were still serving in the Chengqian Palace, I once saw the Jade Concubine Niangniang taking advantage of your sleepiness to quietly enter the inner hall of the Chengqian Hall alone and touched the holy water beads...... Is the Jade Concubine related to this matter? ”

When the emperor heard the news, he immediately asked, "Liu An, did you see it clearly at that time?" ”

"The minions have seen it clearly......"

"What about the Queen? Was the queen involved? ”

"This ......" Liu An thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty, the slave did not see the matter, and did not dare to make a conclusion privately, during the time when you were poisoned, the queen mother has indeed been guarding the inner hall of the Chengqian Palace to serve you, and has been doing her best, and the slave did not see the queen mother participating in this matter......"

The emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation of Concubine Yu's Zhongqing Palace, however, nothing was found.

That night, several palace people who were waiting in the Chengqian Palace reported to the emperor that they had seen the jade concubine touching the holy water beads without permission.

The Imperial Forest Army, who patrolled the night that night, found the processed ice dock juice around the Zhongqing Palace where the Jade Concubine lived.

The emperor passed the jade concubine to the Chengqian Palace, and the jade concubine confessed to the matter, and insisted that this matter was completely because she was dissatisfied with the emperor's canonization of Xia Rui as the new prince, and she did it alone, not the same party.

The emperor was furious, and ordered the abolition of the concubine of the jade concubine, demoted her to a concubine, and sent her to the Shangyang Palace, and she was not allowed to step into the imperial capital in this life and this life.

At the same time, on the grounds of poor management of the harem, the queen closed her door and thought about it for half a month.

--------------------

The days of the harem began to become like backwater.

In the dormitory of the Middle Palace, Hongyi held a small wooden hammer, and while beating the legs of the queen on the couch, he said:

"Mother, it's just half a month, it's gone in a flash, don't worry about it......"

The queen closed her eyes, rubbed the corners of her forehead, and said, "Where has the Gaoshu people (Jade Concubine) gone now?" ”

"The suburbs of Beijing that have left the imperial capital ......"

The queen asked again, "Didn't King De send it?" ”

Red-clothed replied, "Go, but I can't speak!" ”

The queen opened her eyes faintly: "By the way, is there any news from the crown princess?" Is she showing signs of poisoning? ”

Hongyi shook his head and said, "No, the palace people we sent to keep an eye on came back to report that the crown princess not only did not have a rash, but she didn......'t even vomit and get dizzy."

The queen raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Did she take medicine?" The Mr. Dugu she invited is quite powerful! ”

Hongyi shook his head again: "No, there is no record of the Royal Hospital and the Royal Pharmacy!" ”

At this moment, the queen suddenly sat up straight: "Nothing?!" This princess can't be a monster! ”
