Chapter Seventy-Six: Surprised
Concubine Min put everything on herself, and the emperor's guilt for her deepened.
The death of the Seventh Prince was a great harm to Concubine Min, as a mother, no one wanted to watch her child die early.
"I'm sorry for you." The emperor was very moved.
Seeing that it aroused the emperor's emotions, Concubine Min said, "Don't say that, the concubine knows that you have no way, and she has never blamed you." ”
The emperor let the left and right come in and went to Kunning Palace to call the empress over.
"You and Concubine Chen go back to the palace first, and I will naturally give you an explanation." The emperor commanded them.
With the emperor's words, Concubine Min Guifei took Concubine Chen back, and the two stayed with the sixteen princes for a long time.
The sixteenth prince saw Concubine Chen come back, "Mother, you are back, I miss you and Min Niangniang so much." ”
Concubine Min Guifei left one of her confidants, the palace maid and the eunuch who took care of them, and turned around and returned.
In the Kunning Palace, the queen held a book in her hand and studied it carefully, and it was very strange to hear the words from the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor had never summoned him alone.
"Does my father-in-law know what happened when the emperor summoned the palace?" The queen asked.
The father-in-law bowed, "The queen mother should go with our family, the emperor's thoughts, the servants don't dare to talk nonsense, if it's late, I'm afraid that no one can afford to be guilty." ”
Even if she is the queen, she is the second eldest in the palace.
The real boss is waiting in the Qianqing Palace.
"It's not good to be unkempt and unkempt when your father-in-law allows the palace to dress up and then go." The queen turned around and entered the inner room, and asked the palace people to put on a beaded flower given by the emperor when they got married, and then looked left and right in the mirror, and after confirming that it was correct, she followed the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor was dressed at this time, with his back to the empress.
The queen entered the door, bent down and saluted, and waited for a long time, but did not wait for the emperor's words to let her get up.
The queen couldn't help but remind, "Your Majesty, the concubines are still kneeling." ”
"Then kneel." The emperor's voice was cold, without any emotion.
The queen maintained her posture still, "Dare to ask the emperor, what did the concubine do wrong?" Are you going to do this to me? I'm your wife. ”
The emperor was not angry, but when he heard the queen's words, the smile on his face was about to dry up and crack, and he smashed the books in front of the queen.
"If you weren't my wife, I would have sent a vicious woman like you into the cold palace long ago." The Emperor was furious.
The emperor's reaction made the queen very sad, "Your Majesty, even if you want to abolish the concubine, you must let the concubine know what is wrong." ”
"You still want me to confess? You are ruthless, you can't tolerate Concubine Chen and Little Sixteen, you don't know if you think I'm recuperating? The Emperor made the subject clear.
When the queen reached this juncture, she naturally understood, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is disrespectful to her concubines, so you don't ask questions, and you still accuse your concubines of not being able to tolerate people?" The concubines assume that they should not have existed for so many years, as you said. ”
"You finally told the truth, ruthless, vicious, you don't deserve to be this queen at all, and the position of the lord of the six palaces should also abdicate and give way to Xian." The emperor blurted out, very coherently.
The empress was frightened by the emperor's words, "Your Majesty, how can you listen to and believe it?" Your concubine is your queen. ”
"Get out." The emperor didn't want to explain a word to the empress.
When the queen returned to Kunning Palace, none of the surrounding objects were intact.
"Slut, must be that slut who sued the emperor? Wasn't she grounded by the main palace? How can you still get out? The queen was so angry that those palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say anything.
Just in time for Zhao Kuo to come to ask for peace, he saw that the queen was so angry, "Which of you provoked the queen mother?" ”
"It's none of their business, your father is actually going to abolish me for Concubine Chen and that, how can I sit still and wait to be killed?" The queen told Zhao Kuo what had just happened.
Zhao Kuo gave the queen an idea, "Since this is the case, let's not do anything and get rid of Concubine Chen's mother and son openly." ”
The queen listened to Zhao Kuo's meaning, and her face was a little hesitant, it was a big taboo to practice witchcraft in the palace, and besides, no matter how sixteen said it, it was the emperor's blood and bones.
"If your father knew, he would definitely not be able to tolerate us." The queen had some scruples.
Zhao Kuo poked at the queen's sore spot, "Queen Mother, for so many years, you have waited and waited, and you have endured it, but have you ever exchanged for your father's sincerity to you?" His mind is on Concubine Min and Concubine Chen, the former we can't move for the time being, and the latter is still okay, and the opportunity must not be lost. ”
The most binding thing between women is their feelings, and once they are mixed with such entanglements, it is simply a dead knot.
The queen agreed.
Zhao Kuo instructed the people around Concubine Chen to put the witch doll in her bedroom, and when the time came, everyone would get the stolen goods, and they would be speechless.
Concubine Min invited Lin Yuan into the palace to cook for Concubine Chen and herself, and both of them were full of praise for her cooking skills.
"This palace is a concubine, are you surprised?" Concubine Min looked at Lin Kite.
Lin Yuan replied very decently, "Niangniang's demeanor, the folk girl should think of it that day, but it is also a blessing to see you again today." ”
Concubine Min and Concubine Chen both liked Lin Yuan very much, and seeing that the time was not early, they asked the palace people to send her out of the palace.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan and Zhao Kuo faced each other.
"Miss Lin, this just came out of Concubine Chen's bedroom?" Zhao Kuo glanced at the direction behind Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn't want to pay much attention, "Yes, Concubine Chen is kind to others, and the folk girl chats with her very happily." ”
"If I were you, I wouldn't get too close to her, lest I be implicated by her, and it would be too late to regret it." A very happy sentence has already shortened the distance between them, Zhao Kuoyi pointed out.
Lin Yuan heard Zhao Kuo's profound meaning, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" ”
"You can't go back and see it yourself." Zhao Kuo was stunned to satisfy Lin Kite's appetite.
Lin Kite returned the same way.
It was when she saw Concubine Chen being pressed by the people of Kunning Palace, she followed her all the way there.
"Bold Concubine Chen, she actually dared to intend to curse the current son and the palace." The queen threw the rag doll with a silver needle that the palace people had searched from Concubine Chen's bedroom and threw it to the ground.
The other concubines exhaled in fright when they saw it, and took a big step back.
Concubine Chen also saw it, "This is not what the concubine did, someone must have framed me." ”
At the same time, the palace people who had already been bought by the queen came out and pointed out that this was what Concubine Chen did.
"Why are you slandering Hongu?" Concubine Chen's heart ached.
The palace man lowered his head, his eyes flashed with struggle and unbearability, and finally he had to say something with a clear conscience, "Concubine Chen, it's the slave and the maid who are sorry for you, but what you do is not tolerated, the slave and maid will go first, and then be a cow and a horse for the mother in the next life." ”
Before everyone had time to react, the palace people had already slammed into the pillar, and blood was splashed on the spot.
There are timid concubines, and even uncontrollable fainting.
"Concubine Chen, what else do you have to say? Now there is human and material evidence. "The queen has won the battle.
There was an explosion outside, everyone was in a mess, Lin Kite slipped in quietly, and Concubine Chen entrusted the sixteenth prince to her and let her take good care of it.
Lin Yuan was still very concerned about her, "Concubine Chen, how are you doing?" ”
"Look at it like this, the queen doesn't plan to let me go, Xiao Sixteen will leave it to you." Concubine Chen is determined and prepared to die, just to be able to give her children the hope of survival.
Lin Kitecat crawled behind those concubines with her waist, found the little fourth son who followed her into the palace, and asked him to quickly take the sixteenth prince out of the palace.
The fourth son hugged the sixteenth prince, "Then the owner, you have to be careful, let's go first." ”
Lin Yuan returned to Kunning Palace again, changed into a palace maid's clothes, looked up, and found that Concubine Chen had been sent by the queen to hang herself.
Lin Yuan walked out in a daze, feeling very sad, looking up at the originally blue sky was gray, as if she was mourning for Concubine Chen's departure.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Yun pulled Lin Kite to the side.
Lin Yuan shed a tear, "Concubine Chen is dead, and she is inside." ”
Zhao Yun was shocked, but he still asked the guards to knock Lin Kite unconscious and detain him.
"Hide her." Zhao Yun gave an order and walked outside.
Zhao Kuo searched everywhere for Lin Kite and didn't find him, "Uncle Wang, where is she?" ”
"Maybe it's out of the palace." Zhao Yun prevaricated.
Zhao Kuo called out the person who was in charge of monitoring Zhao Yun in the dark, "Uncle Wang, didn't expect it?" ”
Zhao Yun was locked up in a room.
The eunuch guarding outside hurried, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Guo Ming is about to come in with a large team of men and horses outside." ”
"What? Isn't Guo Ming dead? Zhao Kuo didn't believe it at all.
When Zhao Kuo walked outside, Guo Ming's father and son stood there dignifiedly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you better tie your hands and arrest it, otherwise, the sword has no eyes." ”
The emperor walked out from the other side, and Zhao Kuo held him hostage.
"You all quit for me, if you still want the emperor to live." Zhao Kuo was desperate and hit his mind on him.
Guo Ming's father and son were shocked, "Put down your weapon, he is your father." ”
The queen also found out, and hurriedly advised Zhao Kuo not to make mistakes again and again.
"Kuo'er, you are killing the king, and even more so killing the father, you can't do this." The queen begged in every possible way, but she almost knelt down for Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo couldn't listen to half of it, "Queen Mother, I have no choice but to do it, today is either they die or I die, do you want your son to go to hell?" ”
"No, your father only has a son like you, and he will not be willing to take your life." The queen spoke bitterly.
The emperor wanted to use the sword in Zhao Kuo's hand to kill himself, but he was found in time, and after being rescued, he only fell into a coma.
Guo Ming's father and son stepped forward, "protect the emperor, clear the monarch's side, and punish the traitors." ”
The two sides fought bloodily and were inseparable.
