Chapter 687 - Only One Can Live
Concubine Chen, Chen Liangyuan of Emperor Jingde, and when she saw it before, she sent two people.
At that time, she knelt proudly at the door of the Water Concubine's palace. The eyes are angry and unwilling, although they are described as down-and-out, but they are not less charming and beautiful, which is impressive.
I haven't seen her for a few years, and at this moment, Concubine Chen is much older, holding a baby boy in her arms, and wants to strangle her at any time, as if her existence is her sin, but there is a struggle in her eyes. How can you do it with your own children, tiger poison still doesn't eat children.
"Oh no, no, someone from the palace is here, right at the gate." The woman in the clothes entered Concubine Chen's house in a panic and urged, "Hurry up and hide the child." ”
When Concubine Chen heard that someone was coming from the palace, she was also panicked, and then looked at the baby boy in her arms, "Hide? Where to hide? It's a day in the morning and evening. Let's face it early and give birth early. Sister, go and invite the people in the palace to come in. ”
"Maybe...... Maybe it's not because of Sister Chen, maybe it'......"
"Sister, on this rainy day, are people from the palace just coming to see us widows? It's definitely coming at me. And I also have a feeling that I can't hide from it today. ”
"Sister Chen......"
"Also, I also have to plan for the Chen family. My brother, during the war with the Jin State, made a meritorious contribution, and saw that my Chen family was about to rise, I can't let the Chen family suffer again because of his existence, and there will be no place to go out, or even exterminate the clan. ”
Ye Qingyan heard this and understood why Xiao Changqi would allow her to give birth to the child. Concubine Chen is indeed the elder brother of a general, and her talent is not below Ouyang Chun. And this is why she once wanted the monk to be the queen mother of Concubine Duan, and saved Chen Liangyuan, who was killed at that time.
Concubine Chen picked up the pillow and immediately covered the son to death.
The woman in the silk cloth hurriedly stopped her from doing so, "You let go, let go of the child." Even if you don't raise him, you can give it away. ”
"To whom?" Concubine Chen's extremely pitiful eyes looked at the small, wrinkled child who had not grown at all.
His Majesty held a first birthday banquet for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty entered the palace to celebrate, and the women inside and outside watched the ceremony of catching Zhou, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also caught His Majesty's treasure seal...... It is so much that everyone is looking forward to it, and it is expected by the whole world. And her child, born sneaky, even better dead than alive.
The woman in the clothes didn't know what to do, but when she heard another knock on the door, and there were other people who went to answer the door to open the door, her face was suddenly panicked, and she snatched the child from Concubine Chen's arms, "I said I picked it up." You must not react in any way, and remember not to have your body checked. ”
The body that has just given birth to a child can be easily checked.
Concubine Chen didn't know what to do, if the child could live, where would she be willing to see the child die, she could exchange her life for it.
Ye Qingyan entered the door. At this moment, she had a big food box in her hand, and the person who opened the door said: "On the order of the queen, send court snacks to the concubine of the imperial temple." ”
The person who came to answer the door should be delicious, and when he heard that there was a palace snack, he hurriedly took the food box from Ye Qingyan's hand with joy in his eyes.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern, please come in, please come in."
Ye Qingyan entered the imperial temple, looked at the quiet courtyard, and looked at the compartments. Some heard the movement and secretly opened the window to look out, some stood generously at the door, and some were knocking on the wooden fish......
These people are all concubines left by the first emperor, and they spend the rest of their lives here.
"Where's Concubine Chen?" Ye Qingyan asked.
Chen ...... Toffee? The woman holding the snack box, when she heard Ye Qingyan's words, her face turned white, and she said in a panic: "Which one, which Concubine Chen?" We have several concubines surnamed Chen here. ”
Ye Qingyan said: "The one who gave birth to a child." ”
'Boom-' The snack box fell to the ground. But then the woman picked it up again, and when she saw that the snacks inside were fine, she secretly looked at Ye Qingyan, turned around and ran back to her house.
The people in the palace know!
Ye Qingyan's words, Concubine Chen also heard them clearly.
You can't hide it, you can't hide it.
'Wow-' A child's cry suddenly arose, and everyone was worried, and Concubine Chen's face was like ashes, and her body trembled.
Ye Qingyan followed the child's cry into the room.
At a glance, I saw the woman in the dress who was holding the child tightly and didn't let go.
"This ...... I picked this kid up! "Dying throes.
Ye Qingyan's gaze fell on Concubine Chen's face again, and he said straightly: "If you give your will, you can only live one." ”
Only one to live? Concubine Chen's eyes suddenly burst out with dazzling light.
"He lives!" That's all she has in this life, and if she survives, she will only be a widow, and only by dying can she get out of this imperial temple. And he has just been born, so young, the future is still promising.
Tears flowed from the eyes of the woman in the tie clothes, "Sister Chen...... "She also knows that it is a great grace to be able to live one of them, and she can't ask for anything else."
Ye Qingyan threw a medicine bottle to Concubine Chen, "Poison, you will die in your sleep without any pain." ”
Concubine Chen picked up the medicine bottle, looked at Ye Qingyan, and then knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your grace." ”
Ye Qingyan looked at the child in the hand of the woman in the tie clothes, "Give it to me." ”
Immediately, Concubine Chen and the woman in the clothes became nervous.
Ye Qingyan said: "Don't worry, since the boss has agreed to allow one to live, he won't hurt him again." Maybe you want to live, and you can feed him the poison. ”
"No—" As Concubine Chen spoke, she uncorked the poison bottle, raised her head and drank the poison inside, and shook the poison bottle, and there was no trickle left.
Ye Qingyan looked at her, and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
It's just that this is already Xiao Changqi's grace.
And two people must die one so that they will not have worries.
The woman in the tie clothes put the child into Concubine Chen's arms, and the tears in her eyes kept falling, knowing that she would close her eyes at any time, "Sister Chen, hug him again." ”
Concubine Chen hugged the child hard, endured the sleepiness after the poison entered her abdomen, and asked Ye Qingyan, "Where will he be sent?" ”
"Chen's house." Ye Qingyan spit out two words.
Concubine Chen's face suddenly changed drastically, "No, no, I can't let the Chen Mansion take this risk." Son, you can go with your mother, okay? ”
If you speak, you're going to strangle the baby again.
The woman in the cloth hurriedly stopped, "Sister Chen! You are all gone, and this sin will naturally follow you, and there is no proof of death! ”
"There is no proof of death...... Concubine Chen suddenly realized why one of the two people had to die...... Because both of them are alive, it is a great crime to deceive the king! But if you die, there will be no evidence. And her eldest brother must be able to figure this out, even if she keeps this child by her side, there will be no problem.
