Chapter 66: Stirring up public indignation
Concubine Zhen raised her hand and tried hard to wipe her tears for Yu Qing, but she had no strength, and when her hand was halfway raised, it was about to fall.
Yu Qing saw it and held Concubine Zhen's hand vigorously, as if she wanted to transfer the power in her body to Concubine Zhen, but it was doomed to be in vain.
"I know, you...... You've been investigating the Ilgen family. Concubine Zhen said with a strong spirit.
When Yu Qing heard her say this, she already had some doubts. But now that this person's life is at stake, none of this is important, the important thing is that Concubine Zhen has to survive!
But before Yu Qing could speak, Concubine Zhen said with difficulty: "I have always known about your Ilgen family. However, I was cowardly and cowardly, and I was afraid of affecting my own life, so I never told you. More than sunny, right...... Sorry ......"
Yu Qing was completely surprised when she heard Concubine Zhen say this, she had investigated for so long and there was no progress, Concubine Zhen actually knew the secret?
Looking at Yu Qing's eyes that widened in shock, Concubine Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "The person who ruined your Ilgen family, is ...... It's Concubine Hua! ”
After saying this, Yu Qing felt that her brain suddenly went blank, and she no longer knew what kind of reaction she should make.
Should I cry or laugh?
Crying because Concubine Zhen is now on the verge of life and death, and she will die at any time. Laugh, probably because I've been investigating things for so long, I'm finally making progress.
Concubine Zhen also wanted to tell Yu Qing some truth about this matter, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she fainted from exhaustion.
"Concubine Zhenniang!" At that moment, Yu Qing took Concubine Zhen's hand, widened her eyes, stood up, looked down at Concubine Zhen's closed eyes, and called out to her.
And at the moment when Concubine Zhen closed her eyes, the palace maid barely reached the gate of Jinluan Palace.
"Report, Your Majesty, the palace maid in Concubine Zhen's palace is here." The eunuch pinched his throat and sent a report to the emperor.
The emperor suddenly remembered that Concubine Zhen might be about to give birth today, and hurriedly said to Xue Gui: "Quick, let her in." ”
After the palace maid came in, because she was in a hurry, she accidentally tripped on the threshold and fell.
Looking at the appearance of this palace maid, the emperor's brows furrowed. I'm afraid this is not good news, he noticed the look of the palace maid.
"What the hell is going on?" The emperor stood up and asked in a low voice.
The palace maid didn't care about the pain in her body, so she quickly got up, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen gave birth today, but when the midwife arrived, it was a little late." Now the situation is very bad, Miss Qing is by the side, she asked me to come over and call the emperor to come over. ”
The emperor knows that Yu Qing has always been measured in doing things, and he will definitely not be reckless, something must have happened.
"Let's go!" The emperor didn't have time to think about anything else, and a large number of twists and turns in front of him were like air, and he couldn't keep the emperor's footsteps at all.
He is the emperor, what is he going to do, no one dares to say a word "no".
Xue Gui watched the emperor go out, hurriedly followed behind, and shouted: "Swing!" ”
He attaches great importance to the child in Concubine Zhen's belly, but if something happens to Concubine Zhen, he will not be happy.
But at this time, Concubine Zhen had already lost her breath.
A concubine Zhen who regarded the emperor's favor as the entire content of her life, but she couldn't see the emperor before she died.
Yu Qing fell to her knees in a moment, and her whole body seemed to be collapsed, and she was weak.
That moment.
I only heard the midwife say weakly: "Miss Qing, Concubine Zhen, go to ......"
How Yu Qing wished that she was deaf and couldn't hear, so that she could pretend that Concubine Zhen was still alive.
But she heard it! Concubine Zhen left, but she didn't see what her child looked like, and she didn't even take a name, so she left.
"Concubine Zhen, get up!" Yu Qing's tears seemed to be uncontrollable, and they fell down and slammed on the ground.
"Miss Qing, it's a prince."
At the last moment, the midwife still kept the child. Because Concubine Zhen's condition is not very good, she can't go back to the sky. The midwife has no choice but to save one by one.
It's just that when the midwife said this, it was dark when Yu Qing was crying, and where could she care whether it was a man or a woman who was born.
At this time, the emperor finally arrived.
Seeing the emperor come in, the midwife hurriedly knelt down with the child in her arms, and said with trepidation: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Looking at the palace maids kneeling on the ground, all of them were crying, and their eyes were all swollen, the emperor felt that there must be no good thing. Because he noticed Chaoqing.
That Yu Qing, who has always seemed to be calm, actually cried into a tearful person today.
Listening to the particularly suppressed cries of the palace maids, the emperor himself felt upset, and said impatiently: "Calm down, what happened to my beloved concubine?" ”
When the midwife heard the emperor's question, she hurriedly replied: "Concubine Zhen, Niangniang, it's gone." ”
When he heard this, the emperor's spirit suddenly became a little trance. It is said that since ancient times, he thought that it was just the ancients who were sad and sad, and the result would really happen.
This kind of thing happened suddenly in front of him, and the emperor couldn't believe it. How can a good person be ......
The emperor didn't care if the delivery room was a place for men to enter, so he directly raised his leg and stepped in. glanced at Concubine Zhen, who was no longer alive, the emperor knew what was happening, and Concubine Zhen did not escape such a fate in the end.
"Your Majesty, the slave is incompetent, and he only keeps the prince." The midwife bent over, holding the child in her arms, and said behind the emperor.
I heard that it was the prince who gave birth, and the emperor was not happy.
His face was composed, and all his attention seemed to be attracted by the woman who was crying on her knees, and the woman who was lying on the bed with a pale face and had not even seen her for the last time.
When the midwife saw him like this, she also sighed in her heart, the emperor really valued love and righteousness. And the relationship between Concubine Zhen and the emperor is also very good when you think about it.
Otherwise, how could the emperor be so sad.
Yu Qing was crying on the ground out of breath, she didn't expect to leave alone, Concubine Zhen, she hadn't seen her child yet.
"Mother, wake up!" Yu Qing still couldn't believe that Concubine Zhen was gone, she knelt on the ground, shaking Concubine Zhen's arm, trying to "wake up" Concubine Zhen in this way.
The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, seeing Yu Qing crying so desperately, he walked over and patted Yu Qing on the shoulder.
As soon as Yu Qing turned around, she saw the emperor standing there, and said, "Your Majesty, I, I failed to protect my mother." ”
"It's not your fault." The emperor didn't suspect anything, because the concubines in the harem had a difficult birth, and there were many children who were born.
But Yu Qing knew that if the midwife had come earlier, Concubine Zhen would definitely not have left so soon.
At this time, the emperor took the child that had been cleaned and took a look, although the child was small, he already had the appearance of Concubine Zhen between his eyebrows.
Especially the eyes, and Concubine Zhen's expressive peach blossom eyes, are completely inherited.
"Yu Qing, since Concubine Zhen is gone, this child, you can raise it for Concubine Zhen." The emperor knew that Yu Qing and Concubine Zhen had a deep relationship, and he was not at ease with such a child being raised by others.
No one wants their son to be raised by someone with ulterior motives.
But the emperor felt that Yuqing should not do this, and it was safest for the child to be placed with her.
Hearing the emperor say this, Yu Qing was still a little stunned, she didn't react at all, she was still immersed in the grief of Concubine Zhen's departure and couldn't extricate herself.
Since coming to this world, in addition to Fu Ankang, Concubine Zhen is the best for herself. As a result, his good friend left, how could Yu Qing not be sad?
However, the news of the harem is also very well-informed, here Concubine Zhen just died, after the emperor ordered a thick burial, this other decision was also known to them.
"Did you hear that? The emperor actually asked Yu Qing, a nameless and scoreless woman, to raise Concubine Zhen's son! A concubine with little status next to Concubine Hua said to her.
Concubine Hua glanced at the concubine casually and said, "No matter how you say this, you can't let her take advantage of it." However, the gun shot the first bird. ”
At this point, the words came to an abrupt end, because everyone is a smart person and must understand the meaning beyond words.
The concubine came over with some indignation, hoping that when she came to Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua could share the same hatred with her, but Concubine Hua was so calm.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, the concubine knew that she was bored when she came over, so after thinking about it, she left.
When I greeted the queen mother in the morning, no one said anything about it, but they all knew that this matter must be stopped.
After all, there are so many concubines in the harem and so many without heirs, why should a prince who is likely to become a prince in the future be raised by such a woman with no name, no distinction and no status?
After coming out of the queen's mother, they all left with their own hearts. The concubines, who usually have no sense of existence, are all ready to move at this time.
Because the son left by Concubine Zhen is a golden pimple, if anyone can get custody, then the mother is more expensive than the son.
However, after all, it is in the harem, and the person in charge here is the queen, if you jump over the queen and go directly to the emperor and be known by the queen, it will be a dead end.
Therefore, after a day of brewing, everyone decided to collectively go to the queen to ask for an understanding. This kind of thing will directly cause public anger in the harem.
Even if it is to stabilize the harem, the queen will definitely not sit idly by. Relying on the large number of people, those who usually don't have the opportunity to go all ran behind to join in the fun.
"Queen Mother, you should think of a way, are you just watching Concubine Zhen's sister's child being raised by that wild girl?"
The person who said this was a concubine who usually lived next to Concubine Zhen. Looking at her appearance, she really performed and looked like she had a very good relationship with Concubine Zhen.
