Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Unknowable Truth
thought that the emperor would not continue to pretend after catching someone, but Zhang Youtao found that she was still too tender, and the emperor and his old man still lay on the bed and continued to act.
Just like that, two more days passed, and it was the day of the end of the hunt, according to the routine, this night, the emperor should have a banquet for civil and military officials to celebrate the successful end of the hunt, but looking at this posture now, Zhang Youtao really doesn't know what to say.
Jiang Yiling, like other princes, was also turned away, no matter how the princes and the ministers and officials made trouble, the emperor was as immobile as a mountain.
"That, Your Majesty, you have to talk about it, remember to give me words when the time comes, and the plaque of my store will be waiting for you." Zhang Youtao was bored fiddling with the walnuts in her hand, and she had nothing to say.
The emperor was lying there comfortably communicating with the virtuous concubine, and he didn't bother to look at Zhang Youtao, there was no way, this person was too ink.
Zhang Youtao didn't seem to care if the emperor didn't reply, but she was talking to herself.
During this time, she successfully dispelled the emperor's suspicion of her, simple, kind but smart, afraid of death and timid but blindly believing in her own people, this is the emperor's impression of her.
"Presumptuous, my father is now in a coma in bed, there is only a virtuous concubine in it, who knows what she is thinking, what is really wrong with my father when the time comes, which of you can afford to take responsibility?" This clamor is Jiang Shaobai.
"Fifth Emperor Brother, my father has an order, and no one can trespass, are you going to disobey the emperor's order?" Jiang Yiling stood in front of them and didn't let them break in directly.
"Lone is going to go in today, Sixth Brother, I advise you not to get in the way here." Jiang Luowen seemed to dig his nostrils impatiently, and pointed to the two entourages beside him, "You two, go, lift the sixth person aside." ”
The two walked towards Jiang Yiling, Jiang Yiling's cold eyes swept over, "Look at who dares to move today." ”
"Jiang Yiling, you are presumptuous." Seeing Jiang Yiling resisting, Jiang Luowen seemed to yell angrily.
"It's not that Lone doesn't know how to be polite, Lone just obeys the orders of his father and sons, but it's you, the eldest brother, who brought so many guards, are you going to rebel?" Jiang Yiling's tough attitude made the actions of everyone present hesitate.
"What are you afraid of, so many of us are still afraid of him?" Jiang Shaobai saw that everyone was retreating, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "And there is still a big prince like this?" Whatever you are afraid of, give it to me. ”
Everyone looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and decided to rush up, after all, the emperor's life and death are unknown, and the eldest prince is the emperor who will be justified in the future, this bet may have a future.
Where was Jiang Yiling willing to give in, everyone confronted each other at the door, and the scene suddenly became deadlocked.
"The Queen Mother has arrived." The sound of communication broke the stalemate, and everyone fell to their knees with a whirl.
"What is this doing, disturbing the Holy Driver, can you afford it?" The queen shouted coldly.
"Queen Mother, it's the sixth child who doesn't let people in, and I don't know what kind of heart he has, my father may have been assassinated by him, after all, it's the virtuous concubine inside, this mother and son......" Jiang Shaobai snorted coldly as he spoke.
Jiang Yiling didn't panic at all, "Queen Mother, the sons are just staying here at the behest of their father, and the father said that no one can enter." ”
The queen stared at Jiang Yiling for a long time, and sneered meaninglessly, "If you want to enter the palace, you dare to stop it?" ”
"Please ask the queen mother to atone for her sins, the emperor's order will not be disobeyed." Jiang Yiling's attitude was respectful, but what he said was not a single step.
"What a dutiful son." The queen raised her chin, "Come on, pull the sixth child down for me, this palace will definitely see the emperor today to see who dares to stop him." ”
Saying that, the guards brought by the queen pulled out their knives, and this posture was obviously prepared.
Jiang Yiling looked at the situation in front of him, and symbolically resisted a few times before being caught, "Queen Mother, you are resisting the decree." ”
"This palace is the emperor's wife, and the husband of this palace today does not know whether he is alive or dead, and this palace wants to visit, what is wrong." After the queen said this righteously, she led people to the door.
Jiang Shaobai looked at Jiang Yiling and smiled proudly, followed the queen and walked in.
The emperor, the virtuous concubine and Zhang Youtao listened to the excitement outside indoors, and it seemed to be clear who designed it.
"Heh, Concubine Xian, Miss Zhang, why are you just the two of you in the room, why is the emperor unconscious?" The queen barged in and questioned loudly.
Zhang Youtao glanced at her mouth speechlessly, the emperor is addicted to acting, it's time for her, and she can still lie there peacefully, but she doesn't dare to say anything, who makes the family have a high status.
"Queen Mother, the concubine is just serving the illness by order, why do you rush in and charge the concubine in a hurry?" The virtuous concubine was blessed with several thoughtful blessings, and there was a bit of grievance between her words.
"Enough, this palace can't get used to the appearance of you foxes." Looking at the emperor like that, the queen seemed too lazy to continue to pretend to be generous, "Come on, put the virtuous concubine and this Zhang girl to the palace, the imperial doctor, go and see how the emperor is doing now." ”
"Queen Mother, are you going to take advantage of the emperor's coma to take sole power?" The virtuous concubine was not afraid at all, and looked at the queen calmly. 516
This attitude seems to have angered the queen, "Heh, don't think that the emperor has favored you recently, you can shout with this palace, this palace is the mother of a country, the queen of the main palace, and now the emperor is unconscious, this palace is the only person in charge of this palace." ”
"I'm afraid the queen has forgotten, the emperor has already explained everything before he fell into a coma, and the concubines were ordered to take care of them here, and you have no right to take the concubines away like this." The virtuous concubine straightened her waist stiffly.
"You, are you all dead, drag people out of the palace, hum, the virtuous concubine is so loyal, when there is really one day, you will be buried with you, and it can be regarded as your loyalty." The queen seemed to have thought of something, and laughed proudly.
"It's so magnificent." The emperor suddenly spoke.
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and when they reacted, the people present knelt on the ground one after another, and they didn't dare to gasp, which made it seem that the queen standing there was extremely abrupt.
"Isn't the queen very eloquent? Go on. The emperor slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to Concubine Xian, who stepped forward to wait for him to get up.
The emperor looked at the princes standing in the room, and smiled meaninglessly, "There are all people." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine was worried about your safety and was anxious, so she brought someone in." The queen came back to her senses and explained calmly.
"Oh? So what does it mean that Lovan brought these people here? The emperor stared at the eldest prince kneeling on the ground and asked.
The eldest prince broke out in a cold sweat, raised his eyes and glanced at the queen and hurriedly lowered his head, "Erchen, Erchen is worried about his father, Erchen, Erchen is afraid that someone will have a disobedient heart, in case you hurt your father, Erchen will save you in time." ”
He stumbled and said what the queen had taught him before, and Jiang Shaobai on the side lowered his head fiercely, wishing that he could disappear on the spot at this time.
"Heh, what a good wife and son for me." The emperor laughed twice, and then slapped the bed hard, and the queen suddenly knelt down weakly.
"Please calm the emperor's anger." Everyone said in unison.
"You rushed into my dormitory one by one under the guise of being honest, but you have good intentions." The emperor sneered and said, "How can the queen be sure that I can't wake up?" Even the candidates for the funeral have been chosen? ”
"Concubine, concubine no, concubine is worried about the emperor, please ask the emperor to see clearly, the concubine has no second heart for you." The queen shouted at the top of her voice, as if she was going to die and refused to admit it.
"Hmph." The emperor seemed to be too lazy to say anything, "Come on, the queen is suffering from a serious illness and it is inconvenient to go out of the house, so I will send it back to the palace now, recuperate well in Weiyang Palace, concentrate on recuperation, and the virtuous concubine can act as an agent for the palace things." ”
"Your Majesty, you can't treat your concubines like this." The queen seemed to be panicked and wanted to get close to the emperor, but was grabbed by the arm of the high princess who came in at some point.
"The eldest prince was frightened today, so he will also be sent back together to recuperate." The emperor narrowed his eyes and continued.
actually pulled the eldest prince, the queen's eyes widened in astonishment, "Your Majesty." ”
"Old five, hmph, be grounded for three months, fined for one year, get out." The emperor waved his hand impatiently, and the three of them were quickly dragged down.
The queen had the heart to say something more, but when she saw that the people she had brought with her had been restrained at some point, she had to be taken out as if she were depressed.
"It's all uneasy." The room was quiet again, and the emperor sneered and spit out such a sentence.
Concubine Xian chuckled and leaned in, "The emperor is angry, the princes are probably too concerned about you, after all, they are all blood relatives, they can't get the news, they are probably too anxious." ”
The emperor patted the hand of the virtuous concubine lightly, "That's it, it's okay, it's okay not to mention it, it's okay now, you take the young peach back to rest, you have to attend the dinner party in the evening, clean up well, and attend in good spirits." ”
"The concubine obeys." Concubine Xian bowed respectfully and walked out with Zhang Youtao.
Jiang Yiling was also kicked out quickly, probably because the impact was too big, and the emperor just wanted to calm down by himself.
Sending Concubine Xian back to her residence, Zhang Youtao wanted to retire, but Concubine Xian grabbed her.
"Young peach, today's events, you should act as if nothing happened, sometimes it is safe to be deaf and dumb." She seemed to be uneasy and instructed.
Zhang Youtao chuckled and nodded, "Don't worry, Niangniang, I still understand this truth, I don't care about any of this, I just want a safe and stable life." ”
"She's a smart girl, go back and get some rest." Only then did Concubine Xian let go of the hand that was holding her.
Respectfully bowed and withdrew, Zhang Youtao walked back to her room quickly.
When lying on her bed, Zhang Youtao breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally survived this period alive.
This royal matter is really not so easy to mix, although there are some things that she will never get a result, but it doesn't matter.
