Chapter 457: The Bottom
In the silent Chenji Hall, you can only see wisps of white smoke oozing from the incense burner.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
A violent cough broke the lifeless silence.
When Gonggong Gao heard the movement, he hurriedly hunched his waist and walked into the hall, "Your Majesty." ”
The emperor sat on a reclining couch, his cheeks emaciated and sunken, and a pair of eyes protruding from the twilight and gloomy eyes.
The emperor's eyes were open, and it seemed that he was getting more air and less breathing, and he spoke like sand grinding over the flat ground. Elixir, bring it. ”
Another rapid and violent wheezing cough.
Gonggong Gao was worried, but he didn't dare to slow down, and hurriedly took out a small box of pills from the dark compartment of the emperor's bed.
"Your Majesty, the servant will go and get you some water."
The emperor sat up with great difficulty, and swallowed the pill directly, he clutched his chest and gasped, his expression was terrifying.
After a long time, I slowly calmed down, breathed steadily, and had the strength to get up and take a shower and change clothes.
Gao Gonggong was horrified in his heart and didn't dare to show half of it.
He respectfully served aside, "Your Majesty, it's not early, you have to summon someone to serve tonight. Sleep? ”
The emperor frowned, and suddenly asked, "Su Hua rested in the palace today?" ”
After serving the emperor for many years, Gonggong Gao thought that he still knew him very well, so he replied: "Yes, the noble concubine Niangniang saw that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had been working hard and haggard recently, so she let her rest in the splendid palace. ”
The emperor said unhappily: "Suhua's former palace is still there, what kind of splendid palace do you live in?" ”
Gao Gonggong said with a smile on his face: "This slave is not clear, but the Fang Nian who served by the side of the son Guifei Niangniang conveyed that it was the Guifei Niangniang and the eldest princess talking about themselves together, and it was convenient to live in the Splendid Palace." ”
"Concubine Zhao manages the six palaces, although she is in charge of the phoenix seal, but she is not the queen after all." The emperor said lightly, "Even if you want to say something considerate to Su Hua, you have to let people go back and rest." ”
"Living in the Splendid Palace, what kind of system is it?"
The eldest princess is the sister of the emperor's mother, even if it is rare, the relationship is not comparable to ordinary clan relatives.
What's more, the Queen Mother has only been there for a short time, and the emperor is even more concerned about this only remaining sister.
He is the emperor, even if he is old and faint, his brain will not be eaten by dogs.
There are some things that he turns a blind eye to and doesn't want to pay attention to.
Some things touch his bottom line, and the emperor naturally has to knock and knock.
What about managing the six houses?
This right was given by him, and the status was also sealed by him, the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, if Concubine Zhao is restless, the emperor doesn't mind letting her be buried first.
A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then he ordered: "Clean up Su Hua's former residence in the palace, and then go to the Splendid Palace to pick people up." ”
The eldest princess, the favorite daughter of the first emperor, is now succumbing to a noble concubine because of the death of the queen mother.
Don't be afraid to make people laugh when you say it!
Gao Gonggong hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, this, if Concubine Zhao is unhappy......
"What is she?" The emperor's face was unhappy, and he glanced at Gonggong Gao lightly, "You didn't have such a small courage before. I cowered when I did this little thing, and the more I lived, the more I went back. ”
Gao Gonggong knelt down, "I'm not afraid of the emperor's jokes, the concubine is full of majesty, and the slave is just a eunuch, how can I ......?"
The emperor snorted coldly, and his displeasure grew more and more in his heart.
"You just have to go."
"Yes."
Gonggong Gao withdrew from the hall, and the emperor withdrew his gaze, walked up to the dragon chair and sat down.
There are several folds on it.
The emperor didn't look at it, but took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper.
Zhao Guifei, Anguo Mansion, pray for the king.
The first two were crossed by his blind eye, and the difference between the two strokes was like a death sentence, and the remaining two words of praying for the king were lying alone on the side, and only got a look from the emperor.
Zhao Guifei...... Thousands of majestic ......
The emperor thought of the appearance of the eldest princess Suhua following behind Concubine Zhao that day, and he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted.
It is no wonder that Gonggong Gao is afraid and awe-inspiring Concubine Zhao, even his eldest sister, after the death of the queen mother, avoided her edge and repeatedly retreated.
That is the sister of his mother's compatriots, not someone else, how can the emperor feel good in his heart?
"Concubine Zhao," the emperor sighed softly, "you have disappointed me too much. ”
Father-in-law Gao went to the Splendid Palace, and was instructed by the emperor to send the eldest princess Suhua to the Suyue Palace where she used to live.
Concubine Zhao naturally didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, but she was quite regretful, and took the hand of the eldest princess Suhua and said with a smile: "There is no one in the palace to speak in the palace, if the princess does not dislike it, she can often come to the palace and talk to the palace." ”
The eldest princess Suhua was expressionless, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "Okay." ”
He withdrew his hand and walked forward.
Gonggong Gao gave Concubine Zhao a salute and hurriedly followed: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the people around you ...... serving"
The sound fades away.
Concubine Zhao smiled, her expression grim.
Fang Nian said: "Niangniang, fortunately, we didn't do anything, otherwise we ......"
"How else?" Concubine Zhao sneered, "This palace has long known that the emperor is unkind, and occasionally a little gentle and considerate, like charity, this palace has already seen through it!" ”
She didn't think about attacking the eldest princess Suhua at this time. 12
Before that, she had to wear out all the patience of the emperor, so that he only knew alchemy, and it was better not to care about anything.
At that time, the eldest princess of Suhua, the county lord of Huaiyang, the noble people, and Bai Ying, she will not let go of any of them!
It's just that what Concubine Zhao didn't expect was that the eldest princess Suhua left the Splendid Palace and went straight to the Chenji Palace.
It's still the kind of look that seems to have been frightened by the sky and the soul is gone.
"I want to see the imperial brother, I want to see the imperial brother!"
"What's the noise, the noise?" The emperor was not energetic, he had already rested, and finally a little sleepy, and he was upset and irritable by the noise.
The waiting eunuch replied, "It's the eldest princess." ”
The emperor frowned, asked people to wait to put on their clothes, and passed the eldest princess Suhua in.
As soon as the eldest princess Suhua entered the palace, she ran to the emperor in a panic and knelt down and hugged his waist and cried silently: "Imperial brother, imperial brother save me, imperial brother, please save me." ”
The eldest princess Suhua was crying breathlessly, like she was bullied by other brothers when she was a child, and she also came to the emperor for the first time, crying and shouting for his help.
The emperor shook his head and quickly helped her up: "What are you doing here?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
The eldest princess Suhua looked frightened, and when she heard the emperor's words, she shook her head vigorously and cried: "Brother Huang, don't want me, I have no queen mother, if you don't want me anymore, I won't have a home, Brother Huang, don't you want me ......"
The eldest princess Suhua cried sadly, where is there still the noble and elegant momentum on weekdays, it is clear that she is a little girl who was bullied and came back to her brother for help.
The emperor was distressed, and there was a strange feeling in his heart.
How to say it, the concubines have big ideas, the sons have hardened their wings, and even the queen mother is dead, and the emperor has not felt this feeling of being trusted and relied on for a long, long time.
He personally helped up the eldest princess Suhua and said softly: "You get up quickly, go inside with me, it's okay to say, why don't I want you?" You're my sister. ”
One bite at a time, the shelves are bigger than anyone else.
The eldest princess Suhua sneered in her heart, and it took a long time to seem to come back to her senses, pulling the emperor's sleeve and not letting go, tears flowing, but she didn't make a sound.
"! Sissy is not good! Fang Nian got the news and hurriedly entered the palace to tell Concubine Zhao.
Concubine Zhao was woken up, "What's the matter?" ”
Fang Nian saw that Concubine Zhao was in a bad mood, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang! The eldest princess of Suhua went to find the emperor! ”
"What?" Concubine Zhao sobered up instantly, squinting her eyes, "She's so bold." ”
Yes, Concubine Ren Zhao didn't expect that the eldest princess Suhua would go directly to the emperor.
However, "Bengong just talked to her, and everyone in the palace saw it with eyes, no matter what, she couldn't frame Bengong." ”
Concubine Zhao sneered, "What a Suhua, do you really think that you are still the princess who was high up at the beginning?" ”
Fang Nian also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's still a wise mother." The emperor was disturbed, if he knew that the eldest princess Suhua was talking nonsense, he would definitely be furious and reprimand him for being impure. In the future, I'm afraid that the emperor won't believe what she says. ”
Fang Nian knew that Concubine Zhao had always hated Princess Suhua, no, to be precise, she hated all women who were high and noble.
For example, the eldest princess of Suhua, the princess of Chang, and the first queen of the north and then the Li family.
They are born noble, have thousands of favors, do not know the sufferings of the world, and easily have what others need to spend a thousand times more effort to get.
How not to disgust and hate?!
Back then, Concubine Zhao was planning to hook up with the emperor who was still the prince, and became the white moonlight in his heart with the daughter of a petty official, but the position of the crown princess still fell on the head of the north, she was the proud daughter of the sky, and her friend was also the first-class princess Suhua, the princess of Huainan, at that time, everyone was envious, but no one was jealous.
Who made them a match made in heaven?
At that time, in addition to leaning north, there was only Qin Nanshuang, the princess of Huainan.
And what about her?
Under that light, you have to carefully rely on that little bit of affection and tell the emperor: The courtiers love His Highness, and if she looks at His Highness from a distance, she will be content.
This made the prince pity, and the white moonlight filter became deeper and deeper, and Concubine Zhao was able to enter the East Palace and become the prince's side concubine.
But even if she stumbles north in the future and gives birth to the emperor's favorite son, it can't change the impression in the hearts of Princess Suhua.
Ah, Concubine Zhao?
Isn't it the one who seduced the prince before marriage?
How could a real noble lady do such a thing?
The eldest princess of Suhua looked down on her and didn't want to deal with her.
Even the emperor, who kept saying that his favorite was after her ,️ death in the north, he did not crown her as the queen, but chose Prime Minister Li's daughter as his successor.
yes, what is she?
Even the wealth and glory of the Anguo Mansion were obtained by her.
In addition to her son, she can only rely on herself.
She has been trying to climb up, at the expense of anything.
In the end, I finally got it all.
You must know that a few years ago, not long after Bai Ying entered the palace, Concubine Zhao still only had to curry favor in front of the eldest princess of Suhua!
She is even gentle and considerate to the county lord of Huaiyang, and she cares for her.
But in fact, Concubine Zhao hated them so much!
How unjust that they were born with everything she desired!
With resentment, Concubine Zhao lay down again.
She didn't sleep, just waiting for the emperor's punishment for the eldest princess Suhua.
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who is high above, should also fall from the clouds to the bottom.
