Chapter 240: Severance (1)
Song Yaoxian returned to Hongxian Hall all the way from the Imperial Lake, the blood on her face had already faded clean, and she was lying on the bed at this time, pale and weak like a paper man. Yuna was guarding her on the side, trembling all over. "Mother, don't scare the slave maid......"
Song Yaoxian's tears fell in strings, although the child in her womb could not be saved for a long time, but what she did today still made her feel guilty. At this moment, she finally understood the coldness and helplessness of the court. "Don't cry...... Now is not the time to cry......"
"Yes, Niangniang, don't worry, the slave is guarding you here, you must let Tai heal you!"
Song Yaoxian barely moved her lips, Yun'er leaned her head over, and heard her say: "The fetus is more than three months old, I must be able to see men and women, if it is a male fetus, you will cry in front of the emperor......"
Yun'er bit her lower lip, stopped crying, and nodded: "The slave understands......"
The Queen Mother had already heard the news and rushed over, she stared at Song Yuheng closely, hurriedly walked to the emperor, saw that he was stained with blood, and frowned: "The emperor should go and change his clothes first, don't get dirty." ”
The emperor greeted the Queen Mother with a calm face, and instructed Li Zhonghan: "Ask someone to send clothes here." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at him in surprise, she didn't expect Song Yaoxian to have such a status in his heart, the abortion was a foregone conclusion, and the emperor had to wait here for news for a while, and what he cared about was naturally Song Yaoxian. She turned her head and saw Song Yuheng kneeling in the courtyard, and couldn't help frowning.
The two sisters are the daughters of the Song family, only because Song Yuheng is the eldest daughter, so she was selected as the candidate for the queen, and she has been carefully cultivated since childhood, so that her talent is not inferior to ordinary men.
But there is one point, the Queen Mother feels that she has indeed done something wrong. That is, from the very beginning, she held Song Yuheng too high. So much so that since the other party entered the palace, he thought that he could control everything, and decided that he would definitely become the queen, not only did he not catch the emperor's heart at the first time, but his temperament became impetuous. Instead, Song Yaoxian, who has always been submissive, came into the eyes of the emperor.
The Queen Mother thought of the fate of the two sisters, and the two stars were in opposition, and there must be an injury......
"Queen Mother, you have to be the master of your concubines......" Song Yuheng saw the Queen Mother looking at him, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to defend himself.
The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor who didn't say a word, and said, "If you have anything to say, let's wait for Xian'er to pass this level." ”
Song Yuheng bit her lower lip, she couldn't believe that even the Queen Mother refused to say a good word for her. She grew up beside the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother knew better than anyone else what the Queen Mother valued her...... The Queen Mother will not give up on her, and it is impossible for the Queen Mother to give up on her because of Song Yaoxian!
The chamberlain quickly brought the emperor's clothes over, and Li Zhonghan served him to the side pavilion to change his clothes, saying: "The slave has just seen ...... clearly."
Li Zhonghan has been in the palace for a long time, and he has a lot of plans about the means of framing the concubines for favor, he accompanied the emperor into the garden, so he was prepared, and saw Concubine Rou handing the flower branch to Song Yuheng, and then took the initiative to pull the other party, and then fell backwards.
The emperor chuckled lightly and said, "The women of the Song family are all ruthless in their bones. However, compared to Concubine Yu, I am more willing to give Concubine Rou more pity, so I am willing to accompany her in this scene. After all, what she did was also excusable. ”
When Li Zhonghan heard what he said, he was afraid that he didn't plan to reveal the ingredients, so he knew that the emperor didn't actually want Song Yaoxian to give birth to this child. Sure enough, the emperor said: "I can pamper Concubine Rou, but I don't want the women of the Song family to give me children." It's the best of both worlds. ”
In the hall, Song Yaoxian stared at the blurred mass of flesh and blood in the basin, and her heart seemed to be torn out of a huge wound. The pain in the lower abdomen swept in waves. Yun'er looked at the fetus tremblingly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Niangniang, it seems to be a male fetus......"
Song Yaoxian clutched the brocade quilt tightly with both hands, and her knuckles turned white. She couldn't help but close her eyes and let out an uncontrollable exclamation of surprise. It was not the emperor who shouted, she shouted: "Sister! Sister! ”
Song Yuheng, who was kneeling outside the hall, couldn't help but feel terrified when he heard her shouting to herself so sadly. She saw the emperor turn his head, stared at her deadly, and ordered: "Come on, escort Concubine Yu into the palace, let her take a good look, how much Concubine Rou has suffered because of her!" ”
Song Yuheng defended: "I didn't push her, why did the emperor treat me like this!" The Queen Mother? Don't you believe me either? ”
The Queen Mother's face stiffened, and she frowned at her: "You sisters all grew up under my watch, and now that Xian'er has been wronged, it is difficult for the mourning family to say who to believe!" But the emperor has seen it with his own eyes, what room do you have for quibble? ”
'The emperor saw it with his own eyes', how could the queen mother protect her partially in front of everyone, wouldn't the palace be chaotic? Moreover, Song Yaoxian was pregnant with a dragon son, and it was too late for the Queen Mother to be happy, but now because Song Yuheng lost the child, the Queen Mother was only disappointed in her!
The room was full of heavy bloody gas, and Song Yuheng was escorted by the two grandmothers to Song Yao's immortal couch and knelt down, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and retched a few times.
Song Yaoxian slowly opened her dark eyes, watched her come out of her mind for a while, and suddenly cried loudly: "My child ......" The lower lip was almost bitten, Song Yaoxian struggled to open her eyes and look at Song Yuheng, and said, "Sister, why are you so ruthless......"
Song Yuheng knelt in front of the bed, looking at the formed fetus with blood in the basin, and his heart shrank for a while. Song Yaoxian's face was gloomy, her pupils became more and more black, and the other party stared at her like this, which made her feel a chill down her spine, and her scalp suddenly rose: "You know!" I didn't push you! ”
Song Yaoxian grabbed Song Yuheng's arm tightly, her nails pierced into her flesh fiercely, and her voice was inaudible: "Your sister, so far, are you still thinking of me as a fool?" Do you really think that no one can see through what you are doing? ”
"You already knew......
Song Yaoxian smiled sadly and said, "I want you to spend your life to repay my son's life......
Hearing this, Song Yuheng violently broke away from Song Yaoxian's hand, the other party's nails scratched a long bloody mark on her arm, she screamed in pain, and fell back, but no one dared to help her.
Yun'er opened the door of the hall with tears on her face, knelt in front of everyone, and cried: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, Concubine Rou Niangniang is a male fetus......"
The queen mother tightened the handkerchief in her hand and turned her face to look at the emperor, the emperor was angry and frowned, and strode into the dormitory, he looked at Song Yuheng condescendingly, and said word by word: "The jade concubine has ill intentions, and has repeatedly murdered the dragon heir, and she will be demoted to a beauty and imprisoned in the cold palace on the same day." ”
Song Yuheng couldn't believe that he would end up like this, and suddenly got up and pounced on the emperor, but was dragged by the palace people on the side and pressed to the ground. She struggled angrily: "You don't want to live anymore? Hongu is the queen of the future! She reluctantly raised her head to look at the emperor and said, "The concubine didn't push her!" Why didn't the emperor believe it? Or, is it that the emperor doesn't want to believe it at all?! ”
The emperor squinted and sneered, turned to the queen mother, and said, "Queen Mother, what do you think?" ”
The Queen Mother was very disappointed in Song Yuheng's words and deeds! No wonder the emperor would pamper Song Yaoxian and didn't want to look at her. "Yuheng, you have disappointed the mourning family too much!"
……
Ever since Ji Rong had to go to Guozijian to study every day, the Qin family had been restless and worried all day long. But Qin Cheng let go of his foreign post and had already left the capital to take up his post. The Qin family has become more and more devoid of people close to him to speak, and in the past few days, Ji Tianjiao has come every day to accompany her to do needlework and talk to relieve boredom.
"Mother, don't worry too much, Brother Rong is precocious, she can turn danger into disaster before, and she will naturally be able to turn evil into good fortune in the future."
Qin only felt that her mother had failed, she said: "Brother Yun'er is a matter of life and death when he is in the army outside, and now Brother Rong is also being targeted...... As a mother, where can I rest assured. But your father didn't care about it at all. ”
Ji Tianjiao sighed and said, "Father only thinks that the second sister is good, and he can help him everywhere. Her second sister is a woman after all, how much ability can she have? This matter between the court and the powerful, if you are not careful, will come to a catastrophe. I wonder if you've heard of it? Something happened in the palace. ”
The Qin family naturally heard about such a big move that Concubine Yu murdered Longzi and was beaten into the cold palace, she said: "I heard that the day before it was still a high-ranking honorable status, and the next moment it became a puddle of mud in the corner of the palace wall, which is really a pity...... However, the things in the harem have nothing to do with us, so don't say more, so as not to leave a tongue. ”
"Why can't it be related?" Ji Tianjiao leaned closer, asked Pinlan and the others to go down, and then said in a low voice: "Do you know that before Concubine Rou was born, the six girls of the Song family entered the palace twice?" ”
The Qin clan hadn't paid attention to the Song family's affairs at all, so they shook their heads. Ji Tianjiao said again: "The six girls of the Song family entered the middle of the palace these two times, and they also came to find the second sister once!" ”
Qin Shi frowned and said, "What does this mean?" Miss Song Liu had been friends with Ah Jun before, and Ben had been here a few times, and when Er Lan was injured, she also came to visit the patient. ”
"Why doesn't my mother think about it carefully, it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood in this harem, and we can only see the results, and what really happened won't let others know. Miss Song Liu went to the palace once, and then came to the house to find the second sister, and then entered the palace again, isn't there something she is saying? Then Concubine Rou was misconceived, and Concubine Yu also entered the cold palace, and those who have a heart will inevitably delve into it......"
Qin's heart suddenly jumped and said, "What do you mean, this is related to Er Lan?" This is impossible, what can there be between her and the palace concubine? ”
Ji Tianjiao had already heard about what had happened from Yan Hong, but she couldn't tell the Qin family everything, she could only reveal it little by little. She showed worry on her face and said: "I also hope that this is just a coincidence, but what we can think of after dinner, those nobles in the palace may have noticed it early on, especially the Queen Mother, the Jade Concubine is the 'future queen' she cultivated!" If she knew that the second sister was related to this matter, would it be bad for our house......
