Chapter 41: Queen 7
As soon as these two people talked about it, Wang Xi, who drank a lot of tea, just wanted to go to the toilet, and seeing the sun rising higher, the Queen Mother let the two leave. Before leaving, he also sent Concubine Xi a lot of things, it seems that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very harmoniously!
This morning and dusk are fixed, and the affairs of the harem are not familiar, Wang Xi, who is busy, is anxious, and just wants to pick his son and leave! Chu Yueyang didn't force Wang Xi anymore, he still went to Fengxiang Palace to sit for a while every day, and he didn't stay overnight, which made Wang Xi secretly relieved.
On this day, as usual, I asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and I was about to continue drinking tea and watching the play, but I didn't want the Queen Mother to suddenly say to Wang Xi: "The weather is getting hotter, and Concubine Xi's body is also heavy, so it is not suitable to continue to recuperate in the palace. ”
"This, the queen mother has just returned to the palace not long ago, and besides, I am tired all the way, I am afraid it will be inconvenient! Also, the emperor has to agree to this matter! "Wang Xi doesn't understand what the Queen Mother means, you go to escape the summer, and you have to take a pregnant woman with you? It's a bumpy road, who is to blame if something happens?
"The mourning family naturally wants to tell the emperor, the mourning family wants to tell you, after we leave, you have to take care of the emperor, and strive to add a dragon grandson to the mourning family as soon as possible!" The Queen Mother said with a smile, and Wang Xi looked shy. But I am wailing in my heart, so I can't fight once and not say it?
"Queen Mother, the concubines should serve the emperor wholeheartedly, you don't have to worry."
Concubine Xi tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand, and secretly scolded the old fox in her heart, on the surface, she hurt herself and took herself to escape the summer, but in fact she took herself away, so that the queen could take the opportunity to develop a relationship with Chu Leyang. Although Chu Yueyang didn't stay with the queen these days, going to Fengxiang Palace every day already made her very dissatisfied, and she secretly thought about it in her heart, and decided to take a risky move, and she must not be given the opportunity to continue to seduce Chu Leyang. and the county lord of Longxi that she said before, although she knew that she deliberately said it to herself, but she couldn't pretend that she hadn't heard it, and people outside the palace still went to check, and there should be news soon!
Wang Xi is also secretly complaining, the original owner didn't say that the matter of giving birth to a child is under my control, so you can't wait for me to leave? Your old man should hurry up and escape the heat! It's only been a long time, you're not tired of chattering, and you're going to get calloused without ears, and if you stay a few more days, you'll collapse! Wang Xi was so hungry and listened to the Queen Mother's chatter over and over again, very helpless.
In the end, the Queen Mother and Chu Leyang agreed that they would leave in seven days, and for Concubine Xi, time was really urgent!
On this day, Chu Leyang stayed in Fengxiang Palace for the night, but he slept honestly, Wang Xi was also relieved, he had just fallen asleep, and Concubine Xi sent someone to invite her, saying that Concubine Xi had a stomachache and asked Chu Leyang to take a look. Wang Xi couldn't help but sigh, what should come is still coming, Chu Leyang is very puzzled, why did he have a stomachache when he just asked for peace in the daytime? But I decided to check it out.
When Wang Xi and Chu Leyang arrived, the imperial doctor was already there, and this imperial doctor was the one who adjusted the medicine for Wang Xi, it seems that he is really tired! Chu Leyang sat beside the bed, holding Concubine Xi's hand and comforting her. "How did you serve, how did you get angry?"
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang was eating porridge just now, and she had a stomachache after a few bites!" Xiaomei knelt aside and replied. Another palace maid sent the porridge to the imperial doctor for examination.
"Back to the emperor, saffron was placed in this porridge to cause the fetus to be unstable." The imperial doctor sniffed it, tasted it again, and concluded that there was something wrong with the porridge. These words were heard by the Queen Mother who had just arrived, "Who wants to harm the good grandson of the mourning family, and thoroughly investigate the mourning family!" ”
Wang Xi went up to help, and the Queen Mother went to the bedside and took Concubine Xi's hand to comfort: "Concubine Xi can rest assured, there is a mourning family, and you will not be wronged." Concubine Xi nodded tearfully. Whose hands did this porridge go through? ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, this porridge was made by Qinghe, and she also sent it!" Xiaomei said, and Qingmei, who was kneeling below, kowtowed desperately and shouted for mercy.
"Qinghe, I treat you well, why do you want to harm me?" Concubine Xi burst into tears and asked aggrievedly.
"Niangniang, it's the slave who is sorry for you, the slave is willing to apologize for the crime with death!" Qinghe's acting skills are good, blindly crying and begging for death, just to let people know that she was coerced and covered up.
"Come on, drag it out and finish the cane!" Chu Yueyang naturally knew their purpose, and he didn't ask questions, and directly asked people to escort Qinghe out.
"Your Majesty, Qinghe will not poison me for no reason, he must be coerced, and please ask the emperor to see and spare her life!" Concubine Xi didn't forget to care about the people who hurt her at this time, but in fact, she didn't just want to draw the fire to Wang Xi, Chu Yueyang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. The Queen Mother also saw it meaningfully.
"Qinghe, you're still not telling the truth?"
"Niangniang~" Qinghe looked moved and guilty, and after making a struggle, he turned his gaze to Wang Xi on the side.
"Please spare your life! The emperor and the queen mother were instructed by the queen to drug the slave maid, and the queen arrested the maid's family and threatened the slave maid. The maid was confused for a while, and when she committed this crime, she begged the mother for forgiveness, begged the emperor, and the queen mother to spare her life! ”
Sure enough, as Wang Xi thought, but he didn't expect Chu Yueyang's reaction, he didn't even look at himself, and asked directly.
"I'll give you one last chance, or I'll wipe out your nine clans." Chu Yueyang's cold voice made Wang Xi a little scared. With a sword-like look, the frightened Qinghe kept kowtowing, his forehead was bleeding, and his speech was intermittent, "It's the queen, the slave didn't lie, the slave and the slave are willing to die to apologize!" begged the emperor and the queen mother to spare the slave and maid families. ”
"Come on, frame the queen, plot to kill the emperor's heir, and drag Ling Chi out." Two waiters came in from outside the door, ignoring Qingmei's struggles and crying, they pulled her up and dragged her out. Concubine Xi looked at Chu Yueyang in disbelief, when the queen framed herself, although she knew that she was wronged, she still forbade her feet, and now it was the queen's turn, and the evidence was in front of him, but he didn't ask, he directly denied it.
"Slow!" Everyone focused their attention on Wang Xi, "Let her go!" ”
The guards glanced at Chu Yueyang, and after getting permission, they threw Qinghe on the ground, and Qinghe knelt on the ground, "comforting" Wang Xi very sadly.
"Queen Mother, please spare the slave's family! The slave maid is really hard to conscience, and now the incident has happened, the queen mother, please don't blame the slave maid! The slave and the maid are willing to die to apologize! ”
"Don't! If you die like this, this palace will not let your family go! With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Wang Xi looked at the stunned Qinghe indifferently.
Maybe Qinghe thought that as long as she put the charge on the queen's head, Concubine Xi could keep her. Li Jue has a gentle temperament, even if he is found to be wronged, he will not hold on to a subordinate, Qinghe understands this and dares to be so unscrupulous. And at this moment, Wang Xi's words made Qingmei unbelievable, and Concubine Xi was also nervous, and kept threatening Qinghe with her eyes.
"Qinghe, what are you looking at? Shouldn't you be looking at Hongu? This palace can control your family! Wang Xi squatted down and deliberately blocked Qinghe's sight, and gently wiped the blood on her forehead with the silk handkerchief in her hand, maybe it was painful, maybe Wang Xi's eyes were too cold, Qinghe kept shrinking, and finally only kowtowed.
"The queen mother's life, spare your life, please spare my family!"
"Don't mind, this palace is a bad person, Concubine Xi is kind-hearted, why don't you beg her? Well? Wang Xi discarded the silk handkerchief in his hand, got up and stood up, Chu Yueyang on the side was already green and jumping, the queen mother saw it clearly, and scolded the waiter, "Don't drag people out yet!" ”
"Queen Mother, Queen, it's getting late, you go back and rest first, I and Concubine Xi still have something to say, and the rest of us should also retreat!" Chu Yueyang's face was gloomy at the moment, which made people feel distressed, and Wang Xi didn't know what to say, so he had to leave with the Queen Mother;
"Your Majesty, why are you so partial to the queen? She's going to hurt our children! You don't even ask, you ......" Concubine Xi didn't believe that Chu Yueyang would treat her like this.
"Enough, do you think I don't know? That Qinghe has always been your person, you asked her to instigate the queen to poison, I should only teach the queen a lesson, and don't care about you, I didn't expect that this time you actually used the child in the womb to calculate, what else do you want? Chu Leyang hurriedly shouted to stop Concubine Xi, and explained directly without mercy. Concubine Xi looked at the angry Chu Leyang in a daze, tears overflowing.
"I'm just afraid of losing you, when you first married me, you said that I am the only wife in this life, and I am only spoiled, but these days, you run to the queen every day, and your heart has begun to favor the queen, so what can I do? Do you want me to watch her snatch you away? No, no, I can't! ”
Chu Yueyang also felt a little sorry for Concubine Xi at this moment, after all, she was the one she asked to marry at the beginning, and she had promised a lifetime of love. But now that I can't do it, I really fail her.
"I won't pursue this matter anymore, you can do it yourself!" Chu Yueyang brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Concubine Xi in tears.
He traveled from modern times, met Chu Yueyang, thought that he was his prince charming, tried his best to help him and love him, and thought that he could harvest an unswerving love until death, but now that he has changed his mind, why can't he be happy together as written in the novel? ! Concubine Xi silently stroked her abdomen and whispered, "What should I do now?" ”
Although Chu Leyang, who left, felt guilty, as an ancient, can you expect him to understand the equality of men and women? If he cries after making a mistake, he must come and coax! Besides, he is still the emperor, Chu Leyang thinks that since she is her own concubine, she should love herself, I gave you a title and favor, and this is enough, not to mention that she was originally a stand-in. So after a moment, there is only anger left.
Wang Xi felt the need to comfort Chu Leyang, made a good meal and wine, and waited for Chu Leyang to come back, maybe it was too boring, Wang Xi actually fell asleep! Chu Leyang looked at the table full of wine and food, Wang Xi who was asleep, his heart was soft, Chu Leyang gently picked up Wang Xi and hugged her to sleep.
