Chapter 189: Palace Change (Part II)
Ying Chang looked at Ying Shu very nervously, "Are you okay, but does it matter?" ”
Ying Shu was a little confused, only shook her head, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's okay, sister, it's okay." ”
She just said that there was nothing to do, but in her heart she was already panicking, she looked at the blood-colored scene in front of her, and couldn't help but tremble, she felt the pain in her abdomen, and her strength could not support it.
"Concubine De Niangniang," Ying Chang couldn't help but ask Concubine Park for help in a panic, "Sister Shu is still pregnant, it's really ...... Can you teach Sister Shu to sit first, and then invite a doctor. ”
Concubine Pu was already timid, she was already scared silly at this moment, seeing Ying Shu trembling and coming over, but she lost her heart for a while, and she wanted to save Ying Shu and preside over the scene, and she didn't know what to do for a while, she was cramped for a long time before thinking about replying, but as soon as she opened her lips and said a word, Cao Xu on the side said: "Ladies and ladies can naturally sit, but please ask the doctor...... I'm afraid that it can't be as the two ladies wish, and now among the ladies present, there are those who intend to be unfavorable to Concubine De and His Royal Highness the Prince, and today the ministers are ordered to investigate, and they must ensure that Concubine De is thorough. ”
Cao Xu said, pretended to salute again, and said to Concubine Pu: "Please also invite Niangniang to take a seat, so that the minister can keep Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince safe." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Concubine Pu was very worried, "His Royal Highness the Prince, how can you ...... Relationship with me? ”
Cao Xu smiled meaningfully, but he felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw it like his master Wang Zhen, "I forgot to congratulate Niangniang, Your Majesty's intention is to abolish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and replace it with His Royal Highness King Xing." From this moment on, Niangniang is the prince's biological mother, and she is the most noble woman in the country. ”
"Huh?" As soon as Cao Xu's words came out, Concubine Park was stunned, but everyone was in an uproar, and the discussion did not stop.
There was a "bang", but it was the cold sound of the round knife coming out of the sheath, as if everything in this magnificent longevity palace was instantly covered with a layer of gray-white frost mist, and everyone couldn't help but shiver, with fear or anger in their eyes, staring at the arrogant inner prison in front of them.
"Please also ask all ladies to be cautious, this is a matter of heaven, and others are not allowed to talk about it. Ladies and gentlemen, please think clearly. ”
After that, Cao Xu looked at Concubine Pu, who was trembling and was not supported by the maid, and said with an extremely uncomfortable smile: "Please also invite the lady to sit down with the ladies, and the ministers can protect the ladies well." ”
Concubine Pu looked at Cao Xu hesitantly, but Cao Xu had a proud look of possession of the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, and he held a blade in his hand, as if he wanted to swallow everything in the palace into his stomach, naturally no one was afraid. Concubine Pu could only nod her head slightly, holding her chest trembling and ascending to the throne.
The ladies and ladies looked at Concubine Pu and Cao Xu, among them, there were already a few timid ones who had already obediently stayed in their seats and trembled, and a few bold ones were staring at Cao Xu with wide eyes, but when the cold knife flashed, who could not be afraid.
Cao Xu looked at Ying Shu again, at this time, Ying Huan, Lijun and Mrs. Cui and several other ladies with good relations were helping Ying Shu to help Ying Shu ease her breath but she had not sat down, and naturally she couldn't take care of Cao Xu, who was playing majestic, Cao Xu frowned and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, if you are unwell, please hurry up to the seat to rest." Otherwise, the minister will not be able to afford it. After that, Cao Xu also stepped forward to hold Yingshu's arm, and pretended to be affectionate: "The minister is supporting you." ”
Ying Shu instinctively dodged, and only made morning sickness: "Mr. Xie Cao, the concubine can go by herself." After walking more than two steps, he didn't feel dizzy and didn't realize that he had touched the body of Duchess Kang Guo who was still warm, and his newly dressed horse face was stained with blood.
She endured the nausea in her heart, staggered to the seat and sat down, and several people behind her were worried about Ying Shu and hurriedly followed, Ying Chang was the first to walk in front, only protecting Ying Shu in her arms.
"Second sister......" Yingshu was moved in her heart, and she didn't feel a little dependent, but her strength was really weak, but she couldn't say anything.
"Don't talk, save effort. My sister is here. ”
"My sister is here." Just three words, but it seems to be able to bring peace of mind in an instant, even if there is no strength at the moment, but also feel relieved and happy.
In the end, they are sisters, they are blood relatives whose blood is thicker than water, and at this moment, they are a family after all.
Concubine Pu at the top was very cramped and uneasy, she looked at Yingshu below, looking like she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so a pair of panicked eyes fell on the hall and looked around, but inadvertently fell on the corpse of Duchess Kang Guo who fell to the ground.
Concubine Pu's expression was quickly captured by Cao Xu, he looked at the corpse below, his eyes were horizontal, and even if a little inner eunuch stepped forward a few times with great interest, he dragged the body of Duchess Kang Guo away, leaving only a long blood stain on the ground.
"Ladies forgive sins, ladies forgive sins. Fang Cai Kang Guogong made rebellious words in the mouth of the previous dynasty, and dared to question His Majesty's words about the imperial conquest and the re-establishment of the East Palace, according to the laws of the national dynasty, this is a rebellion, and it should implicate the nine clans. Your Majesty is merciful and loving, and only implicates the lady, disturbing the mother and the ladies, and asks for forgiveness. ”
As soon as this statement came out, it caused a second wave of uproar.
Ying Shu barely half stood up to think, and the back and forth associations in her mind came up with terrible thoughts, and she couldn't help but tremble.
The nobles in Beijing have always only spoken half of what they say, and everything in the palace is naturally even more so. Ying Shu touched the pendant in her hand, and in an instant she was even more convinced of her thoughts, it was not someone who rebelled for the safety of Concubine Pu, I am afraid that all this was arranged by the emperor.
From arranging concubines for King Cheng's brother-in-law before, to saying that the royal family took away the Xishan camp and replaced Shen Bin, and then summoned the daughters of the family into the palace in this way, I am afraid that there is only one thing, that is, the family of the sect agrees to the royal driving personal expedition.
Although the emperor has the power to dominate everything, the officials and families are the groups that have power and enough to influence the decision-making of military affairs from beginning to end. And the imperial conquest is a century-old event, and it requires the consent of all the people in the DPRK and China. In today's situation, most families will not agree to the emperor's personal conquest, if the emperor insists on this, a kneeling admonition is enough to go down in history, and no emperor will just not want to be famous now. Therefore, if you want the family to agree, maybe you can detain the daughters of the family and leave the personal valuables in front of the ministers for a while, and the families are either worried about their wives and daughters, or worried about their mothers and daughters-in-law, so they have to agree.
And once agreed, and then announced to the world, it is a fact that can no longer be changed.
This Kang Guogong, born as a military general, has always been loyal to the country, and his temper is also a first-class explosion in Pingjing City, although he is not in charge of the military power, but his power in the court is still there, if Kang Guogong does not agree, I am afraid that everyone will also reject the emperor's will.
Therefore, the two couples were probably used by the emperor to cut their lives, and the family had already gathered in the Yama Hall at this moment.
Ying Shu's eyes couldn't help but fall on Duchess Kang Guo again, and at this moment the fear gradually dissipated, and she tried to tell herself in her heart that she must not panic, so she found a trace of calm.
If you are too flustered, you and your own children will be the next Duchess of Kangguo.
She looked at herself and the people around her, she was the daughter-in-law of the emperor's eldest sister's family, and her father Wang Ying would not be tenacious to the end, he would care about his life after all; Look at Ying Chang and Lijun again, both of them are members of Wu Qingbo's family, Wu Qingbo is still indecisive, but it is certain to follow the emperor; Looking at Mrs. Cui and others, Mrs. Cui's mother-in-law's family is a martial artist, brave and heroic, not losing to men, and now it is good to be able to hold back and not to be angry, and Gong Shun Hou is also an old military general for many years, and his temper is rather straight and not bent, I am afraid that there is danger.
There was no trace of worry, so she grabbed Mrs. Cui's sleeve tightly, frowned, and only shook her head and begged Mrs. Cui to be patient and silent.
Mrs. Cui understood, but she swallowed her temper raw, but there was deep resentment in her eyes.
Cao Xu's so-called protection of Concubine De's safety and the safety of all the ladies is a pretense at all, he just stood proudly beside Concubine Pu, his eyebrows fluttering, and he looked at everyone in the hall as if he was the master of the palace. Concubine Park on the side was already a frightened, restless, and frightened little white rabbit.
"Mr. Cao, this ...... What about King Xing? Can you let me meet King Xing? Concubine Pu said tremblingly while wiping the sweat on her forehead.
"Niangniang rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now listening to the state affairs in His Majesty's arms, and it is the safest. The ministers are ordered by His Majesty to protect Niangniang, as long as Niangniang protects herself, everything will be fine. Cao Xu didn't learn from his master, but he learned the essence of the yin and yang weirdness, and his words were as disgusting as the filth in the stenching toilet.
Even for two long hours, everyone sat restlessly, looking at each other trembling. Every now and then, however, there was always a lady who was dragged away by the guards on both sides of the forbidden center, and made a terrible cry, but only a moment would add a trace of blood to the hall. The women had never experienced such a big scene again, and they all nervously clenched their handkerchiefs and sleeves, but their fear became more and more intense, and they could not hide it at all.
The timid ones had long been frightened and fainted, and Concubine Park had the heart to care, but Cao Xu's eyes taught Concubine Park to be afraid and uneasy, so she could only sit on the throne like pins and needles.
Ying Shu looked at the thick scarlet carpet on the ground, at this moment the red of the fabric itself had long been mixed with the blood of the flowers, and more and more Ying Shu felt scared and cautious, dizzy and disgusting, only to feel that the strength in her body was also falling on the blanket on the ground little by little.
Ying Chang helped Ying Shu, but suddenly felt that the golden horse face on her body was hot, and when she looked down, it was the blood in Ying Shu's body flowing on her body, dyeing her skirt red.
She couldn't help shouting: "Sister Shu, Sister Shu." ”
It's just that Yingshu has no more and more strength on her body, and now she is almost fainting and can't speak or move.
In a hurry, Ying Chang begged Lijun to help Ying Shu first, and she rushed out of her seat and knelt in front of Concubine Pu, "Concubine De, the second grandmother of the Shen family is still pregnant with a child, and what she has in her belly is the grandson of the eldest princess!" Please help me! After that, Ying Chang kowtowed heavily to Concubine Pu.
