Chapter Ninety-Five: The Martyrdom of the Concubine (Second Watch)
Before Jing Guogong and Zhou could ask for guilt, the "culprit" who hit Qiao Mei was carried over by Xu Shun.
It was the youngest of the Nine Emperor Princes.
He is almost ten years old, he is as tall as Qiao Mei's waist, Li Guifei is favored on weekdays, and even with him, he eats roundly, his arms and legs are full of meat, and the collision just now was a real hit.
Jo's brow furrowed, her ankle began to ache faintly, and the waist bone that was reached by his elbow seemed to be broken......
"Let go of me! Let me go! Dog minion! ”
The words over there were intense, and Qiao Mei couldn't help but look at it a little dumbfounded.
Li Qianyue is Li Guifei's niece, she used to often enter the palace to accompany Li Guifei, and she spent a long time with the Nine Emperors.
At this time, the Nine Emperors' little face turned red, and what was surprising was that he not only screamed and scolded, but also fell with tears and snot, looking extremely embarrassed.
The Nine Emperors' movements were extremely noisy, and Xu Shun dragged him a little hard.
"Xu Shun." Xie Huaijin looked at it coldly for a while, and then signaled lightly.
Xu Shun immediately let go of his hand, and there was still a little trembling in his heart. The master originally wanted him to tie up the Nine Emperor Princes, but he was just a slave in the end, how dare he be so presumptuous, so he had to drag him instead......
"You bully me, what kind of prince are you!" The Nine Emperors finally got free, and turned their heads to say to Xie Huaijin is mouth, "Father knows that he will abolish you!" ”
Everyone frowned, this is how Concubine Li taught her children?
Xu Shun's expression was even more awe-inspiring, and he shouted, "Presumptuous! ”
The crying in front finally stopped, and Qiao Mei saw the beautiful woman who was stumbling and running with her skirt on her skirt, wasn't it the master of their belly just now-Concubine Li.
But now that Emperor Zhaoren has passed away, the concubines should be very unhappy in the harem. And Li Guifei has been in the past few days, I don't know what happened, but now her hair is scattered, and her face is mottled with tears.
As soon as she moved, she looked more and more hideous.
As soon as Li Guifei came over, she pulled the Nine Emperor Princes, covered his mouth with trembling hands, and the phrase "dog slave" in the mouth of the Nine Emperor Princes could not be spit out again.
She turned her head again, her eyes were full of tears, and suddenly, as soon as her knees weakened, she knelt straight towards Xie Huaijin.
"Mother!" The Nine Emperor Princes held back their crying with a pout, and dragged her with their little hands to get her up, "Mother, don't kneel to him, don't kneel ......"
But the next moment, a crisp slap sounded, which hit the Nine Emperor Prince's head tilted to one side, and the words were choked in his throat, his eyes flashed with tears, and he looked at Li Guifei in a daze, as if he didn't believe that she would do it.
Li Guifei didn't look over, and was ruthless to the blue and white stone brick floor, banging a few bangs.
This scared Qiao Mei who joined in the fun, no matter what Li Guifei said, she was the concubine of Emperor Zhaoren, for Xie Huaijin, she was no different from the stepmother of ordinary people.
Even if Emperor Zhaoren died, her nominal identity was here, and she didn't need to kowtow to the prince to make amends......
But soon, Qiao Mei understood-Concubine Li Guifei said with tears in her eyes, "Prince, this palace ...... I'm not going to compensate you here, it's just that Jiu'er is young, he can't live without his mother......"
She burst into tears, and Qiao Mei was blessed to her heart, and she understood it at once.
Nanqi has always had rules, after the emperor's funeral, if there is no proposed will, you have to choose a favored concubine to guard the imperial mausoleum.
To put it bluntly, it is to be buried and buried alive.
Concubine Li is younger than Concubine Shu, how can she be willing to die in vain?
Qiao Mei thought about it carefully, Concubine Li in her previous life seemed to be living quite comfortably, and she got the title of concubine, a corner of the harem.
"If you don't want to go to guard the mausoleum, then change to the Nine Emperor Brothers." Concubine Li Guifei couldn't cry well, but Xie Huaijin's eyes were still unfazed, and he only focused his cold gaze on the Nine Emperor Princes.
"It's not a good way for a mother to replace a child." He spoke word by word, and the words that came out of his lips were like a round of honey poison, which pierced people's pain.
Li Guifei couldn't help but scream loudly, "No! How can Jiu'er go to the Imperial Tomb? He is the heir of His Majesty, and the ministers of the court will not respond! ”
Xie Huaijin only glanced at her lightly.
The Nine Emperor Princes were also shocked by his words, and he pulled Li Guifei's big sleeve in panic and weakly hid behind her.
Although he was young, he was not an ignorant child, and guarding the emperor's tomb was to seal the living in the mausoleum until he died.
Thinking of this, the Nine Emperors' face turned pale, so he didn't want to go to guard the mausoleum...... When his father died, he died, what did it matter to him?
After Li Guifei roared, she slowly calmed down, and her expression suddenly withered, she was such a son, she had held him to the sky before, and treated him like an eyeball.
Now, if she wants to hurt him with her own hands, how could she! And how can you do it?
"No, no......" Li Guifei knelt to the side, her eyes were full of tears, her body was still complicated and gorgeous, and the golden hairpin on the side of the bun was still so dazzling.
But she could only say sadly, "Don't hurt my son, I'll go, I'll go to guard the mausoleum......"
Under Xu Shun's eyes, the palace people around Concubine Li picked her up and helped her back to the palace.
The Nine Emperor Princes glared at Xie Huaijin back, and finally kicked his steps and chased after Concubine Li.
After such a play, at least in the eyes of Jing Guogong and Zhou, they were a little relieved.
The crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, and it is not easy for him to interfere in the affairs of Emperor Zhaoren's concubines, but this kind of matter decided by the previous dynasty, it seems inappropriate for them to put their beaks again - in the eyes of others, isn't this seeing that the prince has not yet sat on the throne, and is he openly causing trouble?
Qiao Mei frowned, although she didn't agree with this method that was no different from burying people alive, she couldn't feel any pity for Concubine Li.
She is a grudge, last year's Hundred Flowers Banquet Li Guifei's provocation, and later Li Qianyue's provocation to the door, she Qiao Mei will not forget it at all.
"Grandpa Guo, Duchess Guo, please come here."
Xu Shun saw that his master's pace fell half a step, he cleverly stepped forward, and guided Jing Guogong and the Zhou family on the side, and his mouth was still introducing the strange flowers in the imperial garden.
Xie Huaijin's steps were not slow, always half a step ahead of her, Qiao Mei couldn't help but look sideways slightly, and then he realized that his eyebrows were full of exhaustion.
Subconsciously, she said, "How long has it been since Your Highness closed her eyes?" She regretted it just after saying that, and she kind of wanted to give herself two blows.
What does this ask? I don't see that I care at all, but I look like a judge!
But Xie Huaijin quickly replied, "It's not... The lonely side took a nap. ”
There was some relaxation in his tone, if it weren't for the fact that this tiredness couldn't be faked, Qiao Mei really thought he was happy.
"Oh..."Qiao Mei stubbornly continued, "Your Highness should take care of your body, after all, Nanqi is relying on you, if your body collapses, there will definitely be someone ...... again"
Qiao Mei closed her mouth twilightly, the more she spoke, the smoother she became, but how did she know that she suddenly deviated from her center of gravity...... I almost mentioned something I shouldn't have mentioned.
He must have been anxious and sorrowful...... Hey, how could she curse some bad words at this time?
