Chapter 69: Concubine Jia's Scheme
"Feelings, no matter how you say it, you have to ask Yu Qing's own opinion. Yu Qing himself didn't say whether he wanted to or not, and the emperor directly made an order, this is not a faint king, what is it? ! Fu Ankang's emotions were already excited, so he almost pointed at the tip of the emperor's nose.
Yu Qing was terrified when he listened to it next to him, if the emperor was unhappy, he would directly be convicted of disrespect and dragged him out and beheaded, what should I do?
It is said that a companion is like a tiger, why doesn't this act of happiness and health stop dying?
But unexpectedly, the emperor was unusual, looked at Fu Ankang, and then looked at Yu Qing behind Fu Ankang, nodded, and said, "Okay, since you insist on saying this, then today, I will let Yu Qing make her own decision."
If you choose to stand on Fu Ankang's side, then if my will has not been given, you will take her directly. But if Yuqing is on my side, then Lord Fu, I advise you to break your thoughts. ”
The emperor's tone was very cold, Yu Qing felt uncomfortable when she heard it, and she subconsciously took a step back.
If this is placed before Concubine Zhen dies, her choice must be to go with Fu Ankang neatly, because she hates being restrained and free by others.
But now, she really doesn't know how to do it, and this choice is the right one.
Fu Ankang and the emperor both set their eyes on her, and the hot gazes of the two men made her a little uncomfortable. She doesn't like people looking at her like that.
"Yuqing, you must think about it, don't you like to be in the palace? The freedom you want, there is absolutely no one in the palace! Fu Ankang was afraid that Yu Qing would stay, so he hurriedly said to her.
The emperor glanced at Fu Ankang and said, "You really should think about it." ”
What he said was meaningful, so that Yu Qing had to think carefully about whether his words had any extraneous meaning.
Yu Qing took one last look at the emperor, then at Fu Ankang, and said, "Fu Ankang, I'm sorry." I feel like I still have something to do. ”
After speaking, Yu Qing walked out from behind him and walked in the direction of the emperor step by step.
Looking at Yu Qing standing beside him, a victor's smile appeared on the emperor's face. He glanced down at Yu Qing, and said to Fu Ankang: "Master Fu, this is Qing Guiren's own choice, and you have seen it." ”
This time, the emperor said "Qing nobles" instead of "more than Qing", which is also a declaration of sovereignty to Fu Ankang. Fu Ankang is not a fool, he can hear what the emperor means.
One last glance at Yu Qing, there was some sadness in his eyes, and he left.
The emperor originally received a pair of jade bracelets as a tribute today, but when he thought of Yuqing, he personally sent them over, and by the way, he took a look at the child, but he encountered such a scene, and his mood suddenly became not very good.
However, he was still quite satisfied with Yu Qing's final choice to stay.
Seeing Fu Ankang leaving, the emperor asked the eunuch next to him to take out the pair of jade bracelets, handed them to Yu Qing, and said softly: "This is for you, when I saw it for the first time today, I thought it was suitable for you." ”
Yu Qing took a look, in fact, she didn't like these things very much, but they looked very valuable, and if she went out to mix in the future, she would definitely need a lot of money.
Therefore, Yu Qing still accepted it, and said without smiling: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Flat, child? I want to see it. ”
Yu Qing thought about it, the emperor was so anxious to see the child, so he gave himself a title and let himself stay in the palace, so that he could bring up his son, right?
Thinking like this, Yu Qing felt a lot more comfortable. After all, if you really like others, it's a very tiring thing.
"Inside, Your Majesty, do you want to go in?" Yu Qing asked politely.
"Take a look."
After the emperor said this, he raised his legs and walked in.
When the nurse saw the emperor come in, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and she was about to kneel down with the child in her arms. Yu Qing was afraid that she would fall the child, so she hurriedly took the child in her arms and said, "You can be careful." ”
The emperor glanced at the nurse and said, "Let's be flat." ”
He has always been more tolerant of these people. So, I didn't say anything today, and I guess this person was taken aback by his sudden visit.
Soon, the emperor's attention was all attracted by the little bean in Yu Qing's arms.
This child really looks very similar to Concubine Zhen, obviously he is only so old, and he is already so delicate, who doesn't like to be good-looking?
"Can I give it a hug?" The emperor said.
There should be no prince who will have such treatment, the emperor should have looked at it and left before, and it was surprising to be able to reach out and touch it.
This time, he actually said that he wanted to hug it with his own hands.
Yu Qing was also surprised, but still taught how to hold the child. So, she saw that the emperor was holding the child mechanically with his two arms stiff, looking particularly uncomfortable.
The emperor felt that the child was too soft, and after he could pinch the child's neck with all his strength, he hurriedly asked Yu Qing to take the child away.
"By the way, you just said that you still have something, what is it?" The emperor suddenly remembered what Yu Qing said in front of Fu Ankang just now.
On the side, Yu Qing realized that she didn't hurry up to figure it out, and Concubine Zhen couldn't be blinded, so she "pounced" and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, you must be the master of Concubine Zhen!"
Hearing Yu Qing mention the dead Concubine Zhen, the emperor frowned, in the palace, if you mention those who died, it is a little unlucky.
Obviously, Yu Qing didn't know these rules. It is also obvious that Concubine Zhen's death has another hidden meaning.
Thinking of Concubine Zhen, the emperor remembered that it was a very gentle, fair-eyed woman. When she died, she was also very sad and felt very sorry.
Now that he knows that there is a hidden secret, the emperor will definitely investigate it clearly.
"Hurry up, tell me what the hell is going on." The emperor almost reached out to help Yu Qing up himself.
"You promise first that you will definitely avenge Concubine Zhen!" Yu Qing's gaze was extremely firm, and when she looked at the emperor, she felt that it was not worth it for Concubine Zhen.
The emperor knew that she had a good relationship with Concubine Zhen, so he nodded and said, "I just promised you." ”
"When Concubine Zhen gave birth that day, I went to Concubine Zhen and found that the midwife had not been there, so I went to look for it. But halfway through, I met a midwife, and she was stopped by a palace maid.
The palace maid seemed to deliberately prevent the midwife from giving birth to Concubine Zhen. I had no choice, in order to save Concubine Zhen, I directly used a wooden stick to knock the palace maid unconscious, and then brought the midwife back. Yu Qing thought of the events of that day, if she had passed earlier, maybe Concubine Zhen would not have died.
However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are alive must do what they can to let those who leave feel at ease.
Hearing Yu Qing say this, the emperor slapped the table, stood up directly and asked, "Is this true?" ”
How dare Yu Qing lie, and nodded hurriedly.
"That's true! If the midwife had come earlier, Concubine Zhen might not have died! This is clearly someone who wants her life! Your Majesty, you must find out who is behind the scenes! ”
"You just wait for the news."
After the emperor said this, he left directly from the courtyard of Yu Qing.
Looking at the emperor's angry back, Yu Qing was still very worried in her heart, she could only do this. I don't know if the emperor can catch the people behind this.
A little midwife definitely didn't have the courage to kill Concubine Zhen, so someone must have bought her behind her back.
The emperor's approach was still very simple and rude, and he directly asked Jinyiwei to come to the door in person, and arrested all the midwives and palace maids, and the two of them were directly thrown into the prison that night.
What kind of place is the prison, it is dark and damp, and few of the people who go in are basically out alive. Therefore, the emperor also wants to scare and scare them, so that they will tell the people behind them, and it will be convenient to investigate the case.
After Yu Qing knew the emperor's actions, she was still faintly uneasy in her heart. She always felt that something was wrong with this.
But for a while, she couldn't figure out what went wrong.
The other side.
Concubine Jia heard that the midwife and the palace maid were taken away by the emperor, and she didn't sleep all night in fear. When I got up the next morning, I hurriedly sent someone to find the family of the midwife and the palace maid.
Concubine Jia's personal palace maid went to the prison with her things that day and found the midwife.
Seeing the palace maid next to Concubine Jia coming, the midwife thought that she had hope of going out, so she hurriedly grabbed the palace maid's hand and said, "Did Concubine Jia ask you to come over?" Did Concubine Jia say when you let me out? ”
The palace maid shook off the midwife's hand with disdain.
"We have found your family, if you don't do what I say and dare to tell Concubine Jia, then your family will all have to die."
Hearing the threat of the palace maid, the midwife was so frightened that she was paralyzed, and she didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she was speechless, the palace maid continued coldly: "When the time comes, you will say that Yu Qing threatened you with your family, so that you can deliberately only keep the child when you deliver Concubine Zhen."
By the way, you have to say that you have never seen any palace maids blocking the way, they are all made up by Yu Qing herself. After saying that, you can kill yourself. ”
"What?" The midwife didn't expect that in the end, she would still die.
"Don't you understand? Do you want you to die alone, or do you want your whole family of six to bury you? The palace maid was already very impatient, and said with a threatening tone in her tone.
"I, I see......" replied the midwife, trembling.
After the maid came out of the midwife's cell, she entered the cell of the maid next to her......
