"Yes! Niangniang, the concubine is wrong, you shouldn't underestimate her ......" Concubine Li cried: "Is there only one way to admit the wrong way now?" ”

"Yes!" The queen said without hesitation: "If you can endure the humiliation this time and leave a life by luck, this palace can personally help you plan next time, and the princess will definitely go and never return!" ”

"Really?" When Concubine Li heard this, a trace of joy immediately appeared on her face.

When the queen heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Yes!" This time Hongu promised you, then it will definitely fulfill its promise. ”

"Good! I'm going to confess my mistake to the prince! When Concubine Li heard this, she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind.

When the queen heard this, she looked at her fixedly, and said, "You have to be prepared, the position of the side concubine is not guaranteed, the daughter is adopted by others, and she is punished by herself. ”

"What? I, am I going to suffer such a punishment? When Concubine Li heard this, her eyes widened in horror, and she kept shouting: "Niangniang! Are you alarmist? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't do this to me! ”

The queen glanced at her with pity, and said indifferently: "Murdering the emperor's heir is a capital crime!" And it's also the child in the belly of the crown princess, your death 10,000 times is light, and now if you admit your mistake, it is possible to save your life, this is already a blessing, are you still not satisfied? ”

"Is that so?" When Concubine Li heard this, she looked at the queen's serious appearance, and her heart was like ashes.

The queen glanced at her and said indifferently: "If you can't even stand this blow, then it's not worth the palace to look down on you, let's go!" ”

When Concubine Li heard this, she trembled and hurriedly responded: "Niangniang! Isn't it possible for the concubine to admit her mistake? If, if it is really as you say, the concubine will endure the humiliation and start all over again! ”

"Good! What this palace wants is your bone ambition! When the queen heard this, she immediately praised it, nodded and said, "You go first, the palace will estimate the passage of time, and plead for you by the way." The thin noodles of the main palace, the prince still has to see it after all. ”

These words are simply the sound of heaven!

Knowing this, they wouldn't have said good things for Concubine Li!

"Slut, what else do you have to say now?" Xuanyuan Yan sneered and said to Concubine Li.

"Your Highness, the concubine is just a ghost for a while, so she did such an unforgivable thing, and the concubine is guilty. Please punish the emperor! Concubine Li said, then bent down and kowtowed heavily.

Women's skin is very delicate, especially the concubines, who are maintained all day long, and they can't withstand the invasion of an external force at all. After a while, a red mark appeared on Concubine Li's forehead.

Xuanyuan Yan has the mind of pity and cherishing jade, in the past, he was to Gu Ruoxi, and now he is to Gu Yuetong, but he is not left to Concubine Li, he saw this scene without the slightest softness, snorted heavily, and said: "Do you think that kowtowing will forgive you for the big mistake you made?" Hum! Don't! ”

"The concubine doesn't dare to ask for your forgiveness, she just wants to atone for her sins!" Concubine Li kept kowtowing, kowtowing while kowtowing. While whimpering, he cried. Soil mass intestine drawing.

These words completely angered Xuanyuan Yan, and he said angrily: "You sit down for such a big evil thing, and you will be to blame for death!" Come! Pull her down and give her white silk! ”

"Prince, Concubine Li is a woman who has given birth to you, she has no credit and hard work, and besides, hasn't the princess's child been saved? Why rush to exterminate them all? Spare her life! At this moment, the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the top, suddenly coughed lightly and said.

Xuanyuan Yan heard this. Deng Shi was shocked, he had heard of the Queen Mother's decisive killing back then! I didn't expect her to be so soft-hearted now!

"Grandmother! The grandson must give an explanation to the crown princess! Xuanyuan Yan was a little anxious.

The Queen Mother turned a deaf ear to these words, she just sighed and said: "The mourning family is old, and I can't see the bloody scene." If the prince wants to punish Concubine Li, take her back to the East Palace to deal with it! The mourning family only has the responsibility to protect the crown princess, and now that she is fine, you all go back! ”

This was clearly to drive them all out.

Xuanyuan Yan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

For a while, only the sound of Concubine Li's kowtow and crying was left in the empty hall.

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly rushed in outside the palace and reported: "Empress Dowager Qi, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”

"She's here too?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she raised her eyebrows, raised her eyes to look at the prince, and said with a smile: "It must be for this matter!" ”

Xuanyuan Yan didn't answer, turned his head and glanced at the gate of the palace with gloomy eyes.

After a while, the queen in a bright red dress calmly walked in from outside. smiled and asked the queen mother who was sitting on the top of the house: "I've seen the queen mother!" ”

"Why does the queen have time to come here today?" The Queen Mother opened her slightly closed eyes and waved her hand to order the Queen to get up.

"The daughter-in-law heard that something big happened in the imperial garden today, and then the princess came to you again, and the daughter-in-law was afraid that they would disturb the queen mother's rest, so she came to take a look." The queen straightened up and replied with a smile.

The people present, including the crown prince, Gu Yuetong, and several side concubines, all bent down to ask the queen for leaves.

However, the queen's eyes turned to Gu Ruoxi beside the queen mother, and said with a smile: "Second Miss Gu also entered the palace today?" What a joy! ”

However, the smile does not reach the bottom of the eye.

On such an important occasion, Gu Ruoxi will not be truthful, long before everyone invited Ye, she had already made a gesture to invite Ye, and she still did not get up at the moment, and immediately said respectfully: "Thank you Niangniang for your care, the courtiers came to the palace to invite Ye to the Queen Mother." By the way, I also went to see the crown princess. ”

"No formality, please get up!" The queen said indifferently, she didn't come here to greet Gu Ruoxi, so she only asked one sentence, and then turned her head

to the Prince.

"What happened, why don't you tell the palace about it?"

Xuanyuan Yan was about to answer, but the Queen Mother suddenly spoke: "Queen, the mourning family is lacking, you want to discuss how to deal with the Li family, go where you should go!" ”

"Imperial Grandmother!" When the prince heard this, he became anxious.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Prince, the mourning family knows what you have to say, what you are most worried about is the crown princess, isn't it?" Don't worry! She will rest in the side hall of Cining Palace first, there is a doctor to serve at any time, there will be no accident, what you have to do now is to find out the truth and give her justice, understand? ”

"Yes! Imperial Grandmother! When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he knew that the Queen Mother was willing to take Gu Yuetong in temporarily, and a trace of joy immediately appeared on his face: "Grandson obeys your teachings!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Gu Yuetong and said, "Since the imperial grandmother let you live here temporarily, you can live in Ye Xin first, you can rest assured, this palace will definitely give you justice!" ”

Gu Yuetong nodded immediately, and said meekly: "The concubine knows." ”

Seeing this, the queen understood that the queen mother wanted to stay out of the matter, but she made up her mind to protect Gu Yuetong. This did not conflict with her plan to keep Concubine Li, she did not object, but said: "In this case, the queen mother, you can rest well, and the daughter-in-law will definitely find out the truth of the matter and return the crown princess to her innocence." ”

"Innocence?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she laughed: "She was innocent, why did she say this?" What's more, Concubine Li has already confessed in person that she deliberately got rid of the beads on her body, and the princess who harmed her fell, the matter has long been clear, and the queen only needs to think about how to deal with Concubine Li who violated the palace rules and killed the imperial heir! ”

"What the queen mother said is that the daughter-in-law is confused." The queen was choked and hurriedly changed her words: "The daughter-in-law will definitely give the princess justice!" ”

"That's good!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she glanced at her meaningfully and said: "You are the queen of the world, and you are an example for the world in everything you say and do. ”

Hearing this, the queen's heart suddenly tightened, and she suddenly had a feeling that she had been calculated by the queen mother!

"Let's all go down! The mourning family is tired. The Queen Mother said, and slowly got up from the couch, Gu Ruoxi hurriedly stretched out her hand to help, and the two of them ignored everyone present and turned around and went into the inner hall.

And Gu Yuetong also glanced at the prince with teary eyes, and after saying goodbye to him, she got up and went to the side hall to rest.

Only the crown prince and queen were left in the main hall, as well as the side concubines.

Xuanyuan Yan arched his hand at the queen and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

"What does the prince think?" The queen asked rhetorically.

When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he frowned and said, "The Li family plotted to kill the crown princess and the fetus in her womb, and his crime should be punished!" ”

"Prince, Concubine Li also gave birth to a woman for you, and she was executed like this, I'm afraid it's not okay? When Yu'er grows up, you want to

How to explain all this to her? When the queen heard this, she immediately retorted.

The daughter born to Concubine Li, because the prince ignored it, has no big name so far, only a small name Yu'er that Concubine Li herself gave her, but I didn't expect the queen to even know this.

Xuanyuan Yan snorted coldly and said, "That's also her own doing!" It's not that Bengong hasn't given her a chance, but she made such a big mistake, what else can she do except die! ”

"Prince! The crown princess isn't doing much, is she? The queen was not discouraged at all: "This can't make you soft-hearted towards Concubine Li?" ”

"The crown princess is fine, that's her great fortune!" Xuanyuan Yan said in a deep voice: "There is also Miss Gu's desperate rescue!" This cannot be a reason to forgive Concubine Li! Queen mother! Don't persuade me anymore, the palace has made up its mind to execute Concubine Li, please fulfill it after the queen mother! ”

The queen didn't expect that after talking for so long, the prince didn't even give herself a little face, her face sank immediately, and her voice was no longer as gentle as water: "Prince, there is a conflict between the concubines, this is a matter of the harem, it is something that the palace should deal with, and the prince is still busy with national affairs, so don't worry about it!" ”

"The queen mother is not right, right?" When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "The East Palace is not the emperor's harem, the concubines of the palace make mistakes, and the palace should have the right to dispose of it, and please don't interfere with the queen mother, the emperor's harem is so big, you should worry more about your own affairs." ”

These words are clearly mocking the queen for being nosy with a mouse.

When the queen heard this, she was furious in her heart, and a trace of annoyance immediately appeared on her face: "Prince, this palace is for your good, you executed the Li family, it will only make others think that you are making a fuss and careless of human life, with such a reputation, may I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, how do you assume the position of prince?" ”

"The queen mother should worry more about the fourth brother!" When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he sneered and said: "Whether this palace can be qualified for the position of the crown prince, naturally the father and the emperor have the final say, and what you say about the queen mother is useless!" ”

When the queen heard this, she also sneered: "Prince, this palace is for your good!" ”

"Then thank you to the Queen Mother." Xuanyuan Yan said coldly: "But the matter of the Li family, this palace wants to deal with it by itself, and ask the queen mother to fulfill it." ”

When the queen heard this, she looked at Xuanyuan Yan fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, in the end, it is a human life, although Concubine Li has made mistakes, but who in this world has never made mistakes?" Even the saint said that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and if you are good, the prince can't give her another chance? If you are afraid that Concubine Li will hurt the crown princess again, then you can completely take away her position as a concubine and demote her to a concubine, in this way, everyone will praise the prince for your kindness, and you will get far more than killing Concubine Li! This is all the palace says, the prince himself should think about it! ”

After speaking, the queen didn't look at the prince again, turned around and walked straight out of the hall.

On the top of the main hall, Concubine Li saw that the queen was with her in order to save herself

The quarrel reached this point, and the desire to follow the queen and serve her became stronger and stronger.

"Your Highness, the concubine knows her mistake, and she will definitely not do it again in the future, please ask Your Highness, spare the life of the concubine!" She cried and cried.

Xuanyuan Yan turned his head and glanced at her expressionlessly, and said, "You don't have a chance to make mistakes again." ”

Concubine Li's heart tightened!

I only heard Xuanyuan Yan then speak: "For the sake of the queen mother's intercession for you, this palace will spare you the death penalty, but you can't stay in the East Palace, punish you out of the palace and go to Fu'en Temple to lead the practice!" "Let's say, I turned around and glanced at the two side concubines of Xuanyuan Lin, and said in a deep voice: "The two of you have openly deceived the palace, removed the position of the side concubine, and reduced it to a concubine!"

"Concubine ......obeys the order" Xuanyuan Lin's two side concubines heard that their concubine position was gone, and the two flower-like faces stepped down, but at this moment, the prince was angry, and they were also smart people, knowing that arguing would only make the prince more annoyed, and maybe the punishment would be heavier when the time came, just look at Concubine Li.

Neither of them dared to say a word.

But Concubine Li is different, although the queen has given her a preventive injection before, saying that she may be demoted to a concubine and the child is raised by others, she didn't believe it before, thinking that Xuanyuan Yan was not so ruthless, but at this moment, when Xuanyuan Yan said the words that let her lead the practice, her heart fell to the bottom!

She was kicked out of the palace directly!

How can there be a chance of a comeback?

"Your Highness! Your Highness! You can't do this to your concubines! The concubine gave birth to a child for you, and she has served you for so many years, please, don't drive me out of the palace......" Concubine Li suddenly cried, and while crying, she walked over on her knees and hugged Xuanyuan Yan's legs.

Xuanyuan Yan rarely didn't kick her away, but lowered his head and took a serious look at Li, and said in an expressionless tone: "This palace used to be willing to spoil you, that's because you are innocent and kind, and you don't have the heart to harm others, but now, you have been occupied by evil thoughts and have become a murderous weapon, this palace will not keep you in the palace, let alone let you be used by others!" ”

When Concubine Li heard this, her eyes widened suddenly!

"Don't ask for it anymore, the patience of this palace is limited, a cup of poisonous wine and a white silk, or a practice with hair, these three, you choose one by yourself, this palace is a very democratic person, never coerce others, you choose yourself!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Concubine Li away from his legs little by little.

When Concubine Li heard this, a trace of despair appeared in her eyes, her body had no support, and she collapsed to the ground as if her whole body had been stripped of bones.

Xuanyuan Yan didn't look at her again, turned around and strode out of the hall.

Concubine Li finally shouted hoarsely: "Your Highness! Concubines listen to you! The concubine is out of the palace! ”

The two eunuchs who stepped forward with the poisonous wine Bai Aya immediately stopped.

Concubine Li looked at those things, and tears of remorse fell from her eyes.

When the two side concubines of Xuanyuan Lin saw this scene, they were all frightened and quiet, from then on, no one dared to snub Gu Yuetong in their lives, of course, this is a later story.

This farce in Cining Palace ended dramatically, and the next day, Xuanyuan Yan promoted Concubine Liu to Liangdi, which was the highest ranking among the concubines.

At that time, Gu Yuetong had already returned from Cining Palace to her bedroom, and when she heard the news, she put down the bowl of porridge, smiled mockingly, and said: "This Concubine Liu is smart and clever, and she can judge the situation, no wonder those few are belittled, but she came up!" Tang'er, this person has to be guarded against! ”

However, Tang'er sorted out the fetal pills that Gu Ruoxi left for her when she left the palace, and said while counting: "Niangniang, these fetal pills of the second lady are really good things!" All the doctors in the hospital are complimenting her! ”

"She made the pills herself." When Gu Yuetong heard this, she immediately turned her head and glanced at Tang'er coldly.

"What? Miss Two made it herself? When Tang'er heard this, she was greatly surprised.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "Don't underestimate her, my sister is very capable!" ”

Hearing this, Tang'er glanced at Gu Yuetong cautiously. He said in a low voice: "Niangniang, aren't you afraid that the second lady will treat you badly?" From the current point of view, she has this ability......"

"What if you have the ability?" Gu Yuetong took over the words and said expressionlessly: "She has never been a weak person, even if she has power in her hands, she will never bully people for no reason!" This is the truth that it took me a long time to understand, didn't the pill doctor check it and say that it was fine? Yesterday I fell in the garden, only she desperately rescued her, this love, I am afraid I will never forget it for the rest of my life. As he spoke, he sighed deeply, with a complicated expression on his face.
