Chapter 228: Coercion and Temptation

Silver tickets and house deeds are indeed very tempting to Chen Gonggong, but he also knows in his heart that tempting things are often poisonous, money is important, but life is also really important.

"Your Highness, the old slave ......" Gonggong Chen resisted the huge temptation and wanted to open his mouth to refuse.

Duanmu Gong spoke again: "A few days ago, when the palace heard that when Wu Guiren was sleeping, he burned an incense in his father's palace that could fascinate the two. Gonggong Chen is an old man next to his father, he must know his father's temperament, what does Gonggong Chen think his father will do? ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Chen's face suddenly turned pale and abnormal, his face was sallow, and his heart was like a pendulum, just shaking around in his chest, he felt a burst of horror, and even his heart fell into his pants in fright.

Gonggong Chen's voice trembled and said, "Your ...... Your Highness...... Old slave ......"

Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor hates the most is the competition between concubines, and he is the most intolerable, who does it by his side, there was a Concubine Rong last year, because in the emperor's incense, a little bit of fascination incense was added, and after the emperor found out, all those who had contact with Concubine Rong were either exiled or sentenced to death, and the situation was really miserable.

"This hall is just a matter of Wu Guiren, why is Gonggong Chen's face so embarrassed? But sick? Duanmu Gong pretended to be concerned and said, "Gonggong Chen is afraid that Wu Guiren's matter will be implicated in his father-in-law, right?" ”

Gonggong Chen nodded stiffly, Duanmu Gong smiled lightly and said: "It turns out that this is the case, in fact, the main hall has only heard about this matter, and the father and emperor don't know about it, so Gonggong Chen can put his heart in his stomach." ”

However, Gonggong Chen did not feel the slightest relaxation in his heart because of Duanmu Gong's words, but became even more nervous: "Your Highness......"

"It's all said, let Gonggong Chen not be nervous, why is his face getting worse and worse?" Duanmu Gong frowned and said, "Or, the palace will let the imperial doctor give the father-in-law a number of pulses?" ”

"No need, no need, the old slave thanks His Highness for his kindness, the slave is just feeling unwell for a while, just go back and rest." Gonggong Chen said in fear.

"Since Gonggong Chen is uncomfortable, then the palace will not leave his father-in-law to eat in the house, and I will let him send his father-in-law." Duanmu Gong pretended to look pity.

"No, no, no, you don't have to bother Your Highness, the old slave can go back by himself." Hearing Duanmu Fu's words, Gonggong Chen was relieved, arched his hand, turned around and was about to leave, Duanmu Gong immediately called out to him.

"Father-in-law Chen is slow,"

Gonggong Chen immediately stopped, but he didn't dare to turn around, and after a while, Duanmu Gong walked directly in front of Gonggong Chen, gave the title deed and silver ticket on several tables to Gonggong Chen, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Chen forgot this, fortunately, the palace found out, otherwise, the palace has to go and send it to Gonggong Chen." ”

Gonggong Chen held the thousand-pound silver ticket and land deed, panicked like cold water, and his face was even uglier than crying: "Old slave...... Thank you, Your Highness. ”

"Gonggong Chen walks slowly, and the main hall will not be sent." A murderous sneer gradually appeared on Duanmu Gong's face.

Watching Gonggong Chen tremble and walk away, Wang Cong spoke: "Your Highness has his handle in hand, why did you give him a silver ticket and a title deed?" ”

"You know, a cow, if he wants to work for you all the time, it's not enough to have a lock around his neck, but also to give the old cow grazing." Duanmu Gongyin said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness's name, but he was cheapened for nothing." Wang Cong said.

"Cheap him? Scold! The corners of Duanmu Gong's mouth slowly hooked: "Does he think that the things in this hall are so delicious?" When the time comes, the main hall will let him vomit out to me without a single child! ”

Concubine Hui has been sick since she gave birth to Duanmu Jun, saying that she got sick in the confinement, and she has to follow her for a lifetime, and the bitter and astringent taste of the medicinal juice that wafts out of Qixia Palace every day can spread to the entire palace, and those concubines who can't stand this smell have bowed to the queen and moved away from this place where they feel unlucky, so it is very deserted here, except for the four or five palace people in Qixia Palace, there is no one else.

Concubine Hui is either sitting or lying down every day, the whole person looks listless, maybe it is the reason for taking medicine all year round, her face looks a little sallow, giving people the feeling that she is terminally ill, the weather is better today, and the maid helped Concubine Hui to sit in the courtyard.

Before sitting down, a palace maid came over with a bowl of thick black-brown medicinal juice: "Niangniang, it's time to take medicine." ”

Concubine Hui waved her hand weakly and said, "I drink medicine every day, and after drinking it for so many years, I still look like this, and I don't drink it anymore." ”

The palace maid looked at Concubine Hui in embarrassment, and the older palace maid magpie standing next to Concubine Hui said to the palace maid: "You go down first, the medicine is warmed first." ”

"Yes." The palace maid slowly retreated.

"Niangniang, the wind is blowing, the slave maid should help you back to the house." Magpie said worriedly.

"Is it windy?" Concubine Hui looked up at the sky, the sky that was clear just now had been slowly swallowed up by dark clouds, lowered her head, got up slowly, and said, "It seems that the palace is about to change the sky." ”

Before the words fell, the gate of Qixia Palace was pushed open, led by Gonggong Chen, a group of more than a dozen eunuchs, walked towards Concubine Hui, the magpie suddenly became nervous, as if he had a premonition that something was going to happen, he hurriedly blocked Concubine Hui behind him, and said sharply: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Concubine Hui Niangniang, the old slave was ordered to investigate the suspect of the epidemic in this palace, I heard the palace people say that Niangniang's recent symptoms are very similar to the epidemic, forgive the old slave for courage, and ask the old slave to leave the palace with the old slave." Father-in-law Chen looks like a businessman.

"It's nonsense, my mother has always been like this, why did she suffer from the epidemic? You don't want to spew blood here! The magpie said angrily.

"Humph!" Gonggong Chen smiled coldly, and then said: "The slave is also acting on orders, and if you want to blame the old, you can only blame Niangniang for still taking medicine at this time." ”

The magpie was about to scold angrily, Concubine Hui pulled her clothes, the magpie was silent, and hurriedly helped Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui faced Gonggong Chen's deliberate embarrassment, there was no trace of panic on her face, and said slowly: "But by the emperor's order, let the palace leave the palace?" ”

"Exactly," Chen Gong said fairly, if he hadn't kept talking in Duanmu Furong's ear about Concubine Hui's harm to this palace, how would he dare to come to Qixia Palace so blatantly.

"Okay, this palace believes in Gonggong Chen's words, and this palace is willing to leave the palace, but before this palace leaves, I also ask Gonggong Chen to help this palace do something." Concubine Hui said with a calm face.

Concubine Hui was like this, which made Gonggong Chen very surprised, originally thought that he would take a lot of effort, so he brought so many people, but he didn't expect it...... This made Gonggong Chen feel a little guilty, and he paused and said: "The slave is also forced to do so, and after the mother leaves the palace, don't hold a grudge against the old slave." ”

"Gonggong Chen is serious, this palace is not the kind of unreasonable person." Concubine Hui said lightly.

This made Gonggong Chen's heart even more uncomfortable, and said, "Niangniang, what you said the old slave should do, I don't know what it is?" ”

"Please ask Gonggong Chen to ask the emperor for a holy decree to degrade the palace as a concubine." Concubine Hui said seriously.

……

"What! Concubine Hui wants to belittle her as a concubine? Duanmu Furong stayed at Gonggong Chen's report, and was surprised in his heart.

"Yes, that's what Concubine Hui said to the old slave." Gonggong Chen was also very shocked when he heard this, and until now, he couldn't believe that those words came from Concubine Hui's mouth.

"Why would she do that? But resentment and me? Duanmu Furong's eyes flashed with a touch of unbearability, for Concubine Hui, he has never had a way, for more than 20 years, but he has only touched her once.

"Concubine Hui Niangniang said that she has long been riddled with diseases and will not die soon, but if the world knows that the emperor gave up Niangniang because of the plague, it will inevitably fall into the mouth, so please ask the emperor to give Niangniang any crime and degrade her to a concubine, so that she can send Niangniang out of the palace justifiably, and outsiders will not chew the root of the tongue." Gonggong Chen continued.

When Duanmu Furong heard this, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and a touch of unbearability gradually grew in his heart, but when he thought of the terrible plague, his shaking heart instantly became firm, and he said, "Okay, I will fulfill her." ”

Duanmu Furong has always been ruthless, how can he put himself in a dangerous situation for the sake of a woman, what about the woman he likes, when it is time to sacrifice, he will definitely not be merciful.

Concubine Hui couldn't cover such a big thing if she wanted to, and it soon reached Gong Xinyue's ears, Gong Xinyue panicked, and immediately asked Helian Qian: "How many concubines are there in the palace?" ”

Helian Qian's face was not very good, and he said: "There is only one, that is Duanmu Jun's mother." ”

"Sure enough." Gong Xinyue's heart tumbled, for Duanmu Jun, Gong Xinyue always felt that she was indebted: "Ah Qian, I once heard Duanmu Jun say that his mother concubine was sick in bed all the year round, how could she collide with the queen?" ”

"It's really strange, maybe there's something else." Helian Qiandao, although he didn't want to admit that Duanmu Jun was good, but he did help himself, and now Duanmu Jun didn't know where he was, and he couldn't stand by and watch her mother's affairs.

"Ah Gan, can you find out when Concubine Hui left the palace? And where to go, I'm afraid that someone will be unfavorable to people in the middle of the road. Gong Xinyue said nervously.

"Yue'er, don't worry, I'll let Wei Ran investigate." Helian said, as soon as the words fell, Fang Lin came in, holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, someone threw a letter in from outside." Fang Lin Road.
