"The granddaughter-in-law (courtier) see the Queen Mother." After the Gu Yuetong sisters entered the hall, they immediately bent down together to invite Ye.

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Please get up!" Don't be polite if the princess has a tire, come on! Sit for the Crown Princess! Grab a few more mats! ”

As soon as the words fell, the palace people came over with a brocade stool, put several cushions on it, and then invited Gu Yuetong to sit down.

"Imperial grandmother, granddaughter-in-law just took a tocolytic pill, and now there is not much trouble." Gu Yuetong hurriedly said.

"Really?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Ruoxi, with a hint of reproach in her eyes.

This medicine must have been given to her by Gu Ruoxi.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter-in-law had a tire gas this time, and she was deliberately made by Concubine Li and fell to the ground, so she almost fell." Gu Yuetong said apologetically: "Fortunately, with my little sister by my side, the concubine is fine, but Concubine Li went to the queen's mother, and the granddaughter-in-law was already sad and scared, afraid of being punished by the queen mother, so she came to her grandmother to take refuge in the disaster, and asked her grandmother to take in her granddaughter-in-law!" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised: "Are you sure that Concubine Li harmed you?" Where does she go to the queen if she doesn't want to repent? ”

"Yes! Granddaughter-in-law has proof! When Gu Yuetong heard this, she immediately replied: "That bead was picked up by Ruoxi herself, and as long as you check it, it can be proved that it is Concubine Li's thing." My granddaughter-in-law didn't dare to ask the Queen Mother to prove my innocence, I just asked you to let my granddaughter-in-law take a breath and save the child first! ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she said indifferently: "The queen is the mother of a country, and it is too late for her to protect you if you have a fetal gas, so how can it harm you?" You came to the mourning house so recklessly, didn't you leave the queen aside? What if she has no face, but resents the mourning family? ”

"Who told your granddaughter-in-law to always kiss your grandmother?" Gu Yuetong heard this, smiled sweetly, and said: "Everyone in the palace knows that the queen mother is not satisfied with my daughter-in-law, and I don't dare to put a hot face on her cold ass, now that such a big thing has happened, I have to come to my grandmother to call the shots, imperial grandmother, can you ignore me!" ”

"If you have begged me, how can I stand idly by?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed and said, "That's it! You stay in Ye Xin first, and the mourning family will go and ask someone to invite the prince over. ”

Gu Yuetong was waiting for this sentence, and when she heard this, she immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you Imperial Grandmother!" ”

The Queen Mother took the opportunity to say: "You give birth to Lin'er in the future, but you have to remember your grandmother's work, and don't want you to do anything else, just hug him more in the future to see the mourning family, the mourning family has no grandchildren, first pass the eyes and hide it." ”

"Grandmother doesn't have to worry, His Royal Highness King Jing always has children." When Gu Yuetong heard this, she smiled sweetly and said.

The Queen Mother also smiled: "Then borrow your auspicious words!" ”

"Hey, Miss Gu Er, what's that on your back?" At this moment, Aunt Jingyue on the side suddenly pointed to Gu Ruoxi and said.

The Queen Mother's gaze stood

When she saw a piece of petals stained on Gu Ruoxi's back and the dust that had not yet been patted clean, her face suddenly changed: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Queen Mother, I'm fine. It's just that when my sister fell, I also fell down in order to save the child in her belly. When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately smiled indifferently.

Only then did the Queen Mother understand what Gu Ruoxi had done, she turned her head and glanced at Gu Yuetong's big belly, and a trace of distress surged in her heart.

Being pressed by such a heavy person, she must be in pain, right?

"Wait for the Imperial Doctor to come, I'll take a look at you!" The Queen Mother said.

Gu Yuetong hurriedly said: "This is as it should be!" Little sister, for my sake, you have suffered hardship. As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Ruoxi gratefully.

Today's matter, at the beginning, she helped Gu Ruoxi, and then it was Gu Ruoxi who helped her, if she can get rid of Concubine Li this time, at least until the child is born, she will be worry-free in the palace.

This is all thanks to Gu Ruoxi.

"Don't thank you two for coming and going, you're all a family, as for it!" The Queen Mother sighed and said.

……

Inside the Kunning Palace, Concubine Li knelt straight in the outer hall, and waited for a while before the queen walked out of the inner hall.

"Queen Mother, you have to call the shots for me! The crown princess, she accidentally fell down herself, but she came to blame me......" Concubine Li cried and cried as soon as she saw her.

Even if she knew that Gu Yuetong would go to Cining Palace, she had to come to the queen to beg the queen, because in this way she could have a glimmer of life, otherwise, she would have to wait for death.

What a crime it is to frame the imperial heir, and the prince is so precious Gu Yuetong!

"Oh? The crown princess framed you? Tell me, what's going on? "The queen was originally lazy today, and she didn't even have the heart to eat, but at this moment, after listening to Concubine Li's words, her eyes lit up.

"!" When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately cried and shouted: "Niangniang, don't you know that the princess's sister entered the palace today, but she and the princess have always been at odds, you know about this." ”

"I know that, you go on!" The queen said immediately. This matter involved another sister of the Gu family, and she was even more interested in listening.

"Yes, sis!" Concubine Li wiped the tears that didn't exist on her face at all, and said: "At that time, the concubine took a few concubines to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, who knew that she met the princess, as soon as she saw the concubine, she was not pleasing to the eye, and immediately made a mockery, and the concubine saw that she was pregnant, so she endured this evil breath. Just as she was about to retreat, the crown princess fell unexpectedly. ”

"Oh? What happened to the baby in her womb? Did you drop it? The queen rushed out and asked, but as soon as the words came out, she understood what she had asked, and immediately sighed: "Amitabha! Sins, sins, sins! Hongu said the wrong thing, that child must be fine, right or not? ”

"Niangniang, you are really like a god!" Of course, Concubine Li doesn't account

Compared with the words of the queen, because it is also her own hope.

When the queen heard this, she said in a deep voice, "You go on." ”

"At that time, Miss Gu Er was standing closest to the crown princess, and she immediately pretended to fall, but the crown princess stretched out her hand and pulled, she somehow landed first, and became the bottom of the crown princess, because of this, the crown princess was fine." Concubine Li said in a deep voice.

"And what about later? With the princess's violent temper, she will definitely not give up, right? The queen snorted coldly and sneered: "That idiot, I have long guessed that she would do that!" By the way, will she fall, is it your hands and feet that you did in secret or the second lady of the Gu family? ”

"This ...... Niangniang, naturally it was the hands and feet of Miss Gu Er. When Concubine Li heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly smiled.

The queen's eyes narrowed, she glanced at Concubine Li fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "What I want to hear is the truth!" You can rest assured, whether it is right or wrong, this palace is on your side. ”

"Thank you so much, mother!" When Concubine Li heard this, she thought that this matter would always be found out in the end, rather than being embarrassed at that time, it was better to tell the queen and Pan at this moment that her enemy was the crown princess, not her, maybe she could come up with a way to save her life!

"Niangniang, it's the hands and feet of the concubine. But what's worse is that the pearl that the concubine committed the crime was picked up by the second lady of the ancient family. I don't know how her eyes were born, why they are so sharp! ”

When the queen heard this, she glanced at Concubine Li fixedly, and a hint of mockery suddenly appeared in her eyes: "You are stupid, but you still have to complain that others are smarter than you!" It's stupid! ”

"Niangniang, the concubine begs you, you must think of something to save me!" When Concubine Li heard this, she couldn't help but say: "If the concubine falls, then the princess will become more and more lawless!" In the entire East Palace, no one will be able to cure her anymore! ”

"Who said that?" When the queen heard this, she glanced at Concubine Li contemptuously, and snorted coldly: "You really overestimate yourself!" Could it be that without you, the palace can't pack a princess? Of course, Hongu doesn't want to deal with her yet! ”

said this, it was clear that she didn't want to help Concubine Li.

"! You just promised your concubine! Concubine Li said with an anxious face: "Have you forgotten?" ”

"Where is the crown princess now?" When the queen heard this, she did not rush to refute it.

Concubine Li hurriedly replied: "The crown princess should be back in the palace!" ”

"That's good! Didn't she have a tire? I'm going to see her! "Niangniang, that's great!" Concubine Li was overjoyed when she heard this: "You are the master of the harem, and you should be the one to administer justice for all these things!" ”

This sycophant was slapped on the point, and the queen listened to this compliment, nodded with considerable satisfaction: "Not bad!" Even if the prince is here. It's time to stand aside! ”

When she said this, she suddenly hesitated.

Then he glanced at Concubine Li again.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Li was inexplicably stunned by this glance, and only felt panic seeping into her heart, and couldn't help but ask.

The queen didn't look at her, but she was thinking about it.

Today's matter would be easy to do if it were someone else, but the crown princess has been worried about the emperor recently, she helped Concubine Li, what if she annoys the emperor?

As for whether the prince will be angry, it is not in her consideration at all.

In the eyes of Concubine Li, this scene turned into the queen hesitating, she didn't want to help herself deal with the crown princess! How can this work? She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Niangniang! You must help your concubines! If you help me, you help yourself......"

"Then if something happens and the emperor blames you, you can also bear it for the palace?" The queen snorted coldly.

When Concubine Li heard this, she was stunned, she didn't know the little Jiujiu in the queen's heart. When she heard this, all she knew was crying.

"Okay, who are you calculating badly, but you want to calculate the crown princess? Then it will have to wait until you are equal in strength, or when you have a son by your side, what are you stumbling around now? The queen glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Look at it, things have been made so bad by you, what do you say!" ”

". I ......" Concubine Li opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she said: "Isn't that the crown princess about to give birth!" Wait any longer, and there will be no chance......"

"Then if she also gave birth to a daughter, wouldn't your trip be in vain?" The queen heard this. Snorted coldly.

Concubine Li stalked her neck and said, "What if it's a son?" ”

"It's not very likely!" The queen said coldly: "After giving birth to this, the princess can still be reborn, and she will always give birth to her son." But you're different, if this matter is investigated clearly, the last person to die must be you! ”

As soon as this threat came out, Concubine Li's expression immediately froze.

"That's it, this palace won't say so much." The queen glanced at her leisurely and said indifferently: "This palace can help you, but there is one thing, no matter how far things develop, you must bite to death This matter is Miss Gu's sister-in-law, and it has nothing to do with you, do you know?" ”

Others may underestimate Gu Ruoxi, the powerless and powerless daughter of the Hou Mansion. But the queen won't, Xuanyuan Jingxi behind Gu Ruoxi has always been the person she fears, take advantage of this opportunity, she may be able to get rid of her, such a good opportunity, she doesn't want to let it go!

This desire even overpowered the worries in the queen's heart.

"Yes! Empress! The concubine will definitely do what you want! Concubine Li begged for a long time, and it was easy to hear the queen's words, so she naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, let's go see the crown princess." As she spoke, the queen stood up.

Concubine Li hurriedly followed.

The queen walked to the door, suddenly turned her head and glanced at Concubine Li, and asked in a deep voice, "You tell the truth to the palace, too."

Is the concubine really in her own dormitory now? Miss Gu Er is also there? ”

"Come to think of it, it should be, right?" Concubine Li said with some uncertainty: "At that time, it was the concubine who left first...... she didn't say what Gu Ruoxi said about going to Cining Palace at that time.

But who is the queen, as soon as she saw Concubine Li's weak heart, she knew in her heart that there was a deception. His face sank, and he instructed his cronies and grandmothers: "You go out and inquire about it, and see where the princess and the princess have gone!" ”

"Yes, sis!" Mama answered and turned to retreat.

The queen walked back and sat down on the chair, glanced at Concubine Li with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "Did you hide something from the palace and not say it?" ”

"No, no!" When Concubine Li heard this, she denied it again and again: "Niangniang, the conscience of heaven and earth!" If the concubine deceives you with a word, then let me thunder five thunders! ”

"Don't be so miserable, if you lie to this palace, then let the prince find out the truth and bring you to justice, this palace will not say a word for you." When the queen heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "So, okay?" ”

Concubine Li's face immediately froze.

"Say it! What the hell are you hiding from Hongu? If you don't say it, the gate is over there, and you can go. The queen said expressionlessly.

When Concubine Li heard this, she gritted her teeth and said, "There is one thing, and the concubine didn't have time to tell you......"

"What?" The queen's expression immediately froze. Throw the soil to death.

Concubine Li didn't dare to hide it anymore, and hurriedly said: "At that time, when the concubine made things difficult for the crown princess, Miss Gu Er once said that she would take the crown princess to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace......"

"What? Why didn't you tell Hongu about such an important matter earlier? When the queen heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she slapped the table and said angrily: "They are in the Queen Mother's Palace, do you want the palace to come to the Queen Mother in person to find the Queen Mother's dignitaries?" ”

When Concubine Li heard this reprimand, she immediately knelt down in fright, and hurriedly explained: "Niangniang, you are the master of the harem!" ”

"Even if you are the master of the harem, you must respect your elders!" The queen was furious and said: "Since the queen mother interfered in this matter, why did the palace want to offend her?" For you? What benefits can you bring to Hongu? ”

"! The crown princess is your enemy! Concubine Li lamented: "The concubine also wants to vent a bad breath for her mother, so she ......."

"Don't put gold on your own face! You're doing this for the sake of Hongu? Joke! When the queen heard this, she laughed angrily and said, "Are you doing it for yourself?" If you collapse the crown princess, you, the only woman who has ever been born and raised for the crown prince, may sit in the position of the crown princess, do you think that the palace is not clear? When the matter fails, you come to look for this palace, but you just want me to support you! But why did Hongu do this? It didn't do me any good! Now I have to take the risk of offending the Queen Mother, which is really a big loss for the palace!

”

When Concubine Li heard this, a trace of despair immediately surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but plead: "Niangniang! Anyway, I'm more obedient than the princess, and I'm loyal to you, you can't die without help! ”

When the queen heard this, she snorted contemptuously and said nothing.

Concubine Li knelt there and cried bitterly.

At this moment, the grandmother who went out to inquire about the news came back, and reported when she entered the door: "Back to the mother's words, the slaves and maids have inquired clearly, the princess went to the queen mother's bedroom with Miss Gu Er after she had a fetal gas in the imperial garden, and then, the queen mother sent someone to invite His Royal Highness the prince over......"

The more Concubine Li listened, the more desperate her face became, and in the end, she couldn't say a word.

"Look! The crown princess moves much faster than you! When the queen heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Concubine Li sneeringly, and said in a snort: "The crown princess has the queen mother behind her, and her sister as a witness, and the physical evidence is also in her hands, even the prince is also biased towards her, tell me, what are your chances of winning?" If this palace is you, go to Cining Palace immediately to kowtow to the crown princess and apologize! Perhaps, the prince forgave you for the sake of having a daughter for the sake of you......"

"However, the concubine is unwilling!" When Concubine Li heard this, she said indignantly: "That Second Miss Gu is really too cunning! The crown princess is not so smart, she must have provoked it! ”

"What if she provoked it?" The queen sneered and said, "If you don't have a little bit of intelligence, how can you loot His Royal Highness King Jing?" There are not many women in this capital who are smarter and more beautiful than her second Miss Gu! But do you look at His Royal Highness King Jing willing to look at others? Such a woman is not the master of the loss, since you saw her present at the time, you should have given up the plan, why continue? Now that you've failed, who are you to blame? ”
