Chapter 167: Protecting the Empress
The Queen Mother snorted and said, "Let's wait, the queen has been kneeling for a long time, her knees can't stand it, and the emperor should be distressed." ”
"Not for two hours." Master Lu calculated the time and felt that it was unlikely.
Now that the crown prince has made a big mistake, if Emperor Qi Ming easily forgives the prince, it will be shaken to the court.
The queen mother didn't think so, Emperor Qi Ming was not willing to even spend half an hour, if she knelt for a morning, the queen's legs should be wasted.
Sure enough, in less than two hours, Emperor Qi Ming couldn't help but get up, and with the support of the eunuch, he walked out of the dormitory.
The queen was dressed in plain clothes, three thousand green silk hung down behind her back, her eyes were red and red, and I saw a pitiful look.
She heard the sound, raised her eyes slightly, and saw Emperor Qi Ming standing tremblingly in front of her, her throat hoarse "Your Majesty"
Emperor Qi Ming was still angry, but seeing the queen's pitiful appearance, his heart could no longer harden.
He urged Aunt Xu and said, "Don't help the queen up yet." ”
He has spoiled her for more than ten years, and he has never punished her, but now he is forced to do so by the prince.
Aunt Xu didn't dare to move.
The queen shook her head lightly, tears flowed down again, and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince has made a big mistake, and the concubine is his biological mother, how can he go unpunished." ”
"He's him, you're someone as big as you and him, I don't know yet
Is it right or wrong" Emperor Qi Ming ignored it and stubbornly helped the queen up.
The queen knelt for a long time and didn't have much strength.
She cried, "Your Majesty, please abolish the concubine, the concubine will have no face again"
"What are you talking about" Emperor Qi Ming said angrily, "You are my wife, and you have no major fault, how can you say that it will be abolished."
Aunt Xu said on the side, "But the ministers all impeached His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't this even impeaching the queen, and the mother doesn't want Your Majesty to be embarrassed." ”
"They dare" Emperor Qi Ming gasped, his face even paler.
The queen he had worked so hard to marry, and he definitely couldn't let the minister control him, and he would be abolished if he said it would be abolished
"The concubine had no way to discipline him, so he made the prince make a big mistake." The queen said, "This is really inseparable from the concubines. ”
"You" Emperor Qi Ming wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing what to do.
"Your Majesty." Aunt Xu kowtowed and hurriedly said, "The old slave heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned in the Fenghou Mansion, so he made a difficulty. ”
When Emperor Qi Ming heard this, he narrowed his eyes.
How did he not know the trick in this, the prince had prepared men and horses to besiege Fenghou Mansion early in the morning, the poisoning was just a difficult name, and it was very obvious who poisoned it. Although it is clearly the prince's fault, he must keep the prince at the moment in order to be able to keep the queen, their mother and son are one, one is prosperous, and the other is lost
Aunt Xu's words reminded him and made him think of a way to deal with it.
Emperor Qi Ming patted the empress on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "With me, no one can move your position." You wait here first, and I'll take care of it. ”
"But," the queen's voice choked, "the concubines don't want Your Majesty to be embarrassed and go against the ministers." ”
"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I say it, is it possible that I can't even keep my own queen today" Emperor Qi Ming was annoyed and wanted to go to the front hall.
After Emperor Qi Ming left violently, the queen took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Her eyes were cold, as if she had expected this outcome early on.
Aunt Xu also got up, tidied up the skirt of the queen, and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty really cares about you very much." ”
The queen looked at the golden dragon on the dragon couch and said slowly, "What do you care, that's not what this palace wants, it's just torture for this palace." ”
Aunt Xu sighed.
When Emperor Qi Ming arrived at the front hall, Liang Guogong and Feng Hou Ye and others glanced at each other, and they knew that Emperor Qi Ming was coming to deal with the crown prince.
The crown prince knelt in the center of the hall, looking a little decadent.
Emperor Qi Ming asked, "You rebel, are you guilty?"
Nan Xuanmin's heart trembled, and he bowed his head to the ground, "The son of the minister is guilty and asks his father to punish him"
Emperor Qi Ming snorted, turned to look at Marquis Feng, and said, "Marquis Feng, I want to know why the prince was poisoned in your mansion."
Marquis Feng was stunned, he frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has no chance."
Poisoned for no reason, Wechen also felt strange, no one else was poisoned, why was His Highness poisoned and His Highness was ready to understand the poison early in the morning, and he also had to lead troops to encircle and suppress the Hou Mansion, and Wechen didn't understand the reason."
He remembered Feng Tianwan's words, and he couldn't expose Nan Xuanmin's stubborn illness in front of Emperor Qi Ming. Now that Emperor Qi Ming has determined that Nan Xuanmin is the royal bloodline, Marquis Feng has told the truth, but Emperor Qi Ming will think that he slanders the prince at will.
Moreover, Emperor Qi Ming's words were obviously intended to defend the crown prince, even if he said it, it would be useless.
A hint of cunning flashed in Nan Xuanmin's eyes, and he said, "It was given by the imperial doctor's order, what is the problem with the use of self-defense in this palace, if it is not for someone in Fenghou Mansion who is plotting against him, will this palace mobilize soldiers and horses?"
A group of courtiers whispered.
Liang Guogong said unhappily, "As far as the old minister knows, His Royal Highness asked Gao Zhan to lead troops to ambush before dark, could it be that His Highness has long known that he will be poisoned by the Hou Mansion, and His Royal Highness is really powerful, and he is not a prophet." ”
Nan Xuanmin's face turned pale, pursed his lips, and said after a while, "This palace is just in case, I wanted to go to celebrate my birthday, but I didn't expect to be plotted by someone." ”
"You" Marquis Feng was annoyed, he didn't expect Nan Xuanmin to be able to talk nonsense with his eyes open like this
On the contrary, Emperor Qi Ming shouted angrily at this time, "Okay, this matter is not clear, so don't say it anymore, the prince mobilized troops and horses without permission, made a big mistake, and was imprisoned in the East Palace, so he couldn't come out, and he should reflect on it."
"Your Majesty" Liang Guogong and Fenghou Mansion were all stunned.
There are witnesses in this matter, Nan Xuanmin can't get away with the charge at all, and now Emperor Qi Ming just let Nan Xuanmin be imprisoned and reflect
Nan Xuanmin finally breathed a sigh of relief, just confined to him, as long as he didn't lose the position of the crown prince, it was nothing.
He turned his head and glared at Marquis Feng, and he was still proud.
Marquis Feng was so angry that his liver hurt, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what the prince did in the Hou Mansion, and the son of the Zhang family can testify, the punishment of this seclusion and reflection is too light, where is this old minister?"
Emperor Qi Ming shook hands tightly, and green tendons appeared on his forehead, already extremely angry.
"Fenghou, you have laid a lot of rivers for the first emperor, I respect you, and I didn't ask the prince to be poisoned, but you question me everywhere, and do you still put me in your eyes" Emperor Qi Ming said, "The prince is the prince, how can he mobilize the patrol camp I just give you face today, so I imprisoned the prince, do you still have to inch in"
