Chapter 226: Cold Questioning
"Your Majesty, then what do you think ......of Xi'er's canonization?"
Zhao Kehan and the Queen Mother were still telling His Majesty about Zhao Kexi's canonization of the fourth concubine, Jin Yantang waved his hand and said, "Just leave it to the Ministry of Rites." ”
Then, he saw Shang Kelin walking towards him, and knew that Shang Kelin had something to find him, so he waved his hand to Zhao Kehan and Zhao Kexi, signaling them to retreat first.
It's just that Shang Kelin happened to come over at this time, seeing this, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "The two mothers don't need to avoid it, Your Majesty, Weichen is here to say goodbye to you, this palace banquet is almost over, but when she presided over the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet tonight, Concubine Chen Niangniang vomited blood and fell into a coma, and it seems that her condition has worsened a little." ”
"So the minister's mother wants to enter the palace tomorrow to see Concubine Chen's mother for two days, I don't know if Your Majesty can grant permission?"
Jin Yantang had already promised that after Zuo Xiang recovered, he would let Shang Kelan go back to Zuo Xiang's Mansion to rest for two days.
It's just that when he heard Shang Kelin say this, he was more concerned about what he said in his words, "vomiting blood and falling into a coma".
Suddenly, Jin Yantang's face sank.
He turned to look at Zhao Kehan and Zhao Kexi, and asked coldly, "You all know about this matter, but you didn't tell me?" ”
Zhao Kexi was stunned, his eyes dodged, and he didn't look at him.
Zhao Kehan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and said weakly: "The concubine originally wanted to wait for the palace banquet to end before telling His Majesty about this matter, please let Your Majesty calm her anger." ”
Jin Yantang's patience with these two women gradually ran out, he no longer looked at them, but got up and said to Shang Kelin: "I know about this matter, Brother Lin, you should take Lord Zuo Xiang back first, since Mrs. Shang is going to enter the palace tomorrow, it is better to let Mrs. Shang rest in the palace today." ”
Hearing this, Shang Kelin's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Afterwards, Jin Yantang waved his hand at Fu Qingxi and ordered: "Go, take Mrs. Shang back to Xianya Palace." ”
This is the meaning of letting Fu Qingxi prepare a sedan chair, he is not a fool, he naturally understands.
However, since Concubine Jia's plan has been accomplished, Fu Qingxi has nothing to say, only respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
When Shang Kelin and Fu Qingxi retreated, Jin Yantang also turned around and prepared to leave this palace banquet.
Because the palace banquet is almost over, and everyone has given a reward to the Queen Mother before, so everyone basically came to bid farewell to the Queen Mother at this time, and the Queen Mother couldn't get out for the time being, but fortunately, Fupu was on the side to help her.
This Fupu was sent by Shang Kelan to take care of the Imperial Garden.
And Zhao Kexi watched His Majesty leave, stood in place and said to Zhao Kehan a little overwhelmed: "Sister, I ......"
Zhao Kehan glanced at her and said lightly: "You go back to Ximeng Palace first, and Your Majesty will hand it over to this palace, so that you don't talk nonsense and show any sloppy feet later." ”
Although Zhao Kexi didn't want to leave, he still nodded and said obediently: "Okay, sister." ”
She has not canonized the fourth concubine, and she is not an official palace concubine, and she has to rely on Zhao Kehan to help her with everything before this.
So Zhao Kexi listened to her very much, but Zhao Kehan was the princess favored by the first emperor after all, and the arrogant and domineering side left for Zhao Kexi was still there, so Zhao Kexi was a little afraid of her.
That's why she listened to Zhao Kehan's words like this.
And when Your Majesty saw her today, she was really a rare man in the world, how could she not be moved? 678
Bai Shao sent two palace maids to escort Zhao Kexi back to Xianya Palace, while Zhao Kehan followed Jin Yantang's side, and said with a worried expression: "Your Majesty, the concubine originally wanted to tell you about Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen Niangniang had instructed her when she was in Jinluan Palace before, and she must not disturb this palace banquet because of her body." ”
"That's why the concubine didn't tell Your Majesty about this, originally thinking that she would tell Your Majesty after the palace banquet......"
Jin Yantang knew that even if she asked Zhao Kehan, she wouldn't necessarily say anything, so she didn't ask her anything, just glanced at her lightly, and said in the same voice: "Concubine Jia, you go back first, it's so late, I can't arrange someone to send you later." ”
Bai Shao and a few guards followed behind the two masters, not knowing what the two said, only to see Jin Yantang walking forward without stopping, but Zhao Kehan didn't know why he stopped and stood in place.
Seeing this, Bai Shao hurriedly greeted her, surprised and cautious, and helped her and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhao Kehan's face was very ugly, and after slowly shaking his head at her, he said, "It's nothing, go back to the palace." ”
A few guards passed them and followed behind Jin Yantang.
When Zhao Kehan said this, he looked deeply at Jin Yantang's back as he walked farther and farther, and the scene just now appeared in his mind.
Just now, she originally wanted to retreat and win Jin Yantang's favor, but she didn't expect Jin Yantang to directly ask her to go back to the palace and stop meddling in Concubine Chen's affairs, and she didn't even have time to say the words that she was ready to fight Li Chenxiu!
In this way, it is naturally very bad for her.
It's just that if I get up now, I'm afraid it will disgust Jin Yantang, so for the sake of today, it's better to go back to Ximeng Palace first.
The palace banquet is gone, Xianya Palace.
Shang Kelan was lying on the bed tiredly, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked seriously ill.
After Zhiqiu checked her pulse, she put her hand back.
Gardenia stood aside, and seeing this, she hurriedly asked eagerly, "How is it?" How is Concubine Chen's illness, is there anything wrong with her body? ”
Zhiqiu shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Niangniang's current condition is not suitable for hard work, and her body is a little weaker, she needs to take food and medicine to supplement the two, and it is best not to drink tea during this time." ”
I don't know what Concubine Jia meant by doing these things to herself, did she really want to kill herself directly?
No, although Zhao Kehan hated her, he would not do such an impulsive thing.
It's just that for a while, Shang Kelan still couldn't understand why Zhao Kehan would attack her at the palace banquet.
And Zhang Ruxue is clearly Zhao Kexi's strong competitor, but because of her, she was wronged by Zhao Kehan, although Zhang Ruxue was forcibly acquitted, but Zhang Ruxue also offended Concubine Jia in this way, and she didn't know where to go in the future.
At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in and respectfully reported to Shang Kelan: "Concubine Qi Chen, the results of tonight's draft are out, and Gonggong Fu specially sent a little one to tell you that person is the sister of Concubine Jia, the daughter of Zhao Mansion in Zhejiang, Zhao Kexi." ”
Zhao Kexi?
Shang Kelan raised her eyebrows, slowly opened her eyes, and said, "This palace knows, let Gonggong Fu come back early after he is done." ”
After the chamberlain respectfully retreated, Gardenia couldn't help but clench her fists and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty said that you had no intention of drafting, why do you still agree that Concubine Jia and the Queen Mother are messing around, and you choose a family affair for Your Majesty?" ”
There are many women in the harem, which is one more competition for Shang Kelan.
Seeing Gardenia say this, Shang Kelan shook her head helplessly and said, "Even if this palace doesn't agree, they have a way to stuff Zhao Kexi to Your Majesty." ”
