Chapter 202: Qi Guifei is grounded
"You said that Qi Guifei was grounded?" Pei Feng's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Xie Yu, his tone a little incredulous.
She took a robe that she had just made, dark blue, and embroidered with purple bamboo dark patterns, and asked Xie Yu to try it on to see if there was anything that needed to be changed.
Xie Yu raised his hands to enjoy the service of his wife, and he said: "Your Majesty's will is to say that Concubine Qi is sick and needs to recuperate, and the harem affairs will be handled by Concubine Shu. ”
Pei Feng turned from behind Xie Yu, straightened the front placket for him, and glanced up at Xie Yu: "Recuperate?" In fact, it is a grounding, what is going on, Your Majesty still has to use this method to cover it up, is it a scandal? ”
The corners of Xie Yu's mouth were slightly curved, and he smiled very faintly, as if he was in the deep mountains that were shrouded in rain all day long, and inadvertently revealed a ray of sunshine, which illuminated the darkness at once.
He lowered his hand and turned around twice in response to Pei Feng's words, Pei Feng saw that he was tall and jade, if it weren't for the outrageous unwarranted suspicion back then, the Xie family would not have been wiped out, and Xie Yu would also be the noble son of the high gate, the pearl of the world.
Pei Feng looked at his waist and said, "There is still a brocade ribbon that matches it, you take it off first, and when the brocade is ready, it will be given to you together." ”
At this time, Xie Yu was reluctant to take it off, took Pei Feng's hand and sat down and said, "Do you know that Concubine Qi had a pregnancy before she was pregnant with the third prince. ”
Pei Feng thought about it, and it was true, nodded and asked: "It's not that when you are pregnant for five months, you will not have a miscarriage." ”
Xie Yu sneered, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said quietly: "The rules in the palace, back then, Concubine Qi's position was very low, and she was pregnant and needed to be taken care of by a high-ranking mother, at that time Concubine Qi asked my aunt to take care of her, she wanted to frame my aunt with this child, but unfortunately my aunt was favored, and Your Majesty did not disbelieve it." ”
Pei Feng's eyes widened for a moment, and he said word by word: "So this matter has been turned over again?" ”
"Concubine Qi Guifei framed the concubines in a high position with the dragon descendant, and also caused the dragon descendant not to be saved, this matter is enough for His Majesty to be angry." Xie Yu's eyes were slightly condensed, and his fingertips carefully rubbed the purple bamboo dark lines on his clothes.
Pei Feng asked, "You told Your Majesty." There was no doubt in his tone.
……
Yan Shuyuan almost had a miscarriage before, and Emperor Jin Yuan asked Xie Yu to privately check what Concubine Qi had rewarded.
Qi Guifei acted cautiously, and the concubines in the harem have always been known for their gentleness and virtue, in addition to the New Year's holidays, they often reward the concubines in the palace, and these Jin Yuan Emperors also knew.
She also never used food and clothing, but was careful to cover up some inconspicuous things with musk and other spices.
Emperor Jin Yuan's expression was inexplicable, he closed his eyes, and leaned his head on the dragon chair as if he was a little tired: "You mean that these things rewarded by Concubine Qi have musk in them?" ”
Xie Yu lowered his head, his eyes hid a trace of murderous intent, and his face was extremely pale to correct the mistake in Emperor Jin Yuan's words: "There are one or two out of ten things rewarded by Concubine Qi, but the rewards are frequent, although musk is used very little, it can go on like this for a long time, and it will hurt the body." ”
He paused, and looked at Emperor Jin Yuan suddenly stopped talking.
Emperor Jin Yuan frowned and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”
The corners of Xie Yu's mouth curved slightly, and his voice was extremely light: "The minister also found out that Concubine Qi's miscarriage was not an accidental miscarriage, but her own plan, in order to frame Emperor Yixian's concubine." However, His Majesty did not listen to the slander back then, and did not punish Emperor Yixian's concubine, so Concubine Qi could only shirk and say that it was an accident. ”
Emperor Jin Yuan's face was extremely ugly, and he said with a deep chill: "Do you know what you are talking about? ”
Xie Yu arched his hand and said: "The minister's master is the father-in-law of His Majesty's attendant, when Qi Guifei had an unprovoked miscarriage, the master couldn't bear to see the dragon descendant killed, so he has been paying attention to investigating this matter, but now all kinds of signs point to Qi Guifei alone." ”
Emperor Jin Yuan shook the table to the ground and said coldly, "You should tell me why she did this." ”
Xie Yu's face was as usual, and he said word by word: "Win favor." Just to be able to frame Emperor Yixian's concubine, after many years, Your Majesty might as well recall. ”
Emperor Jin Yuan closed his eyes, the events of more than 20 years ago have become increasingly blurred, but when he heard Xie Yu say this, he suddenly remembered that Qi Guifei had a miscarriage when he fell and had a miscarriage, and the first thing he said when he woke up was: "Your Majesty, it wasn't my sister who pushed me." ”
As soon as these words came out, he was a little suspicious of Xie Hao at that time, Xie Hao was very favored, if he wasn't also afraid that Qi Guifei would give birth to the emperor's eldest son to take away her favor.
Unfortunately, Xie Hao was standing behind him at that time and asked: "Thank you for waking up not to remember your child, but to defend my sister and me." ”
Emperor Jin Yuan sneered, opened his eyes and said, "Let's go, go to Huarong Palace, I want to ask in person." ”
As soon as Emperor Jin Yuan arrived at Huarong Palace, at this moment, Qi Guifei still said that she was sick in bed, she held her forehead, her eyebrows and eyes frowned slightly, as if she was extremely sad, and she did not have the momentum of being in front of precious people.
Emperor Jin Yuan sat in front of Qi Guifei's bed, and didn't look at her, but just turned the wrench of his thumb: "If you are sick, why don't you go to the imperial doctor?" ”
Qi Guifei said softly and weakly: "Concubine, this is an old disease. ”
Emperor Jin Yuan smiled inexplicably: "Old disease? I haven't seen this old illness in my concubine for a long time, and I see that something in my heart caused it. ”
Saying that, he raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Qi Guifei's eyes with solemn eyes, Qi Guifei's face changed slightly, and she trembled for no reason, and asked softly: "What does Your Majesty have on your mind when you look at the concubine?" ”
She carefully looked at Emperor Jin Yuan's expression, but she couldn't see through anything.
Emperor Jin Yuan looked away, not knowing where to look, but he spoke to Qi Guifei very patiently: "The concubine deals with the harem affairs and stabilizes the harem for me, the harem is complicated, and I guess the concubine's heart is the matter in this harem." ”
Concubine Qi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I am very happy to be able to share your majesty's worries." ”
Emperor Jin Yuan: "I am also happy. He paused for a moment, and said, "Now that there is another happy event in the harem, Yan Shuyuan is pregnant, I am really happy in my heart, although there are many princesses under my knees, but there are only two princes, the second and third, if only there is another fourth prince." ”
Qi Guifei's eyes widened, and she hurriedly restrained her leaked emotions, she pinched her palm, her breathing was not smooth for a moment, but she still followed the words of Emperor Jin Yuan: "Concubine, concubine also hopes to be a prince." ”
Emperor Jin Yuan glanced at Qi Guifei, not knowing what he was thinking: "I hope that the child in Yan Shuyuan's womb can be born safely, and will not leave regrets like you did back then." ”
Qi Guifei's body stiffened, the blood all over her body cooled down for a moment, her body was filled with endless coldness, and she opened her mouth: "It's the concubine who is useless and failed to save that child." ”
Emperor Jin Yuan stood up suddenly, his body stiffened as if he was accumulating a depressed fire, he looked at the light that came through the pane, and there was a small rise and fall: "I thought that by now you would tell the truth." ”
Qi Guifei smiled miserably, raised her head and said: "What the concubine said is the truth, the concubine is useless and can't keep this child." ”
Emperor Jin Yuan turned around suddenly, bent down and stepped forward to choke Qi Guifei's neck, and after a while, it turned into a gentle rub again.
Qi Guifei looked at the face close at hand, her chest rose and fell, but her heart was beating violently, eager to break open from her chest, she gasped for breath, as if for a moment, she really thought that Emperor Jin Yuan would strangle her.
"The mother of that child is really useless." Emperor Jin Yuan did not withdraw his hand, and a trace of betrayal, disappointment, and hatred rose in his heart......
"His mother was not only useless, but also his murderer." Emperor Jin Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and it took a long time to calm down, recounting this fact.
At this moment, the softness on Qi Guifei's face suddenly faded away, turning into a trace of gloom and coldness, she smiled stupidly, and raised her hand to caress Emperor Jin Yuan who had just pinched her neck.
"Since Your Majesty already knows, why do you want to ask your concubine?"
Emperor Jin Yuan closed his eyes: "I thought that you had always been a virtuous and pure woman, when that child was lost, you were so sad, and you didn't eat or drink for a few days." ”
Qi Guifei pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, her eyes moistened when she smiled, and tears fell: "The concubine was extremely sad at that time, because the imperial doctor told the concubine that it was a male fetus that had been formed, and if he could be born, he would be the eldest son of the emperor, but even if the concubine was ruthless, he couldn't use him to bring down Xie Hao." ”
When she said the last two words, the hatred in her eyes was not obvious, and she almost wanted to spread every inch of her body.
Qi Guifei glanced at Emperor Jin Yuan, and there was still attachment and love, which had become an obsession and obstacle in her heart.
"If it weren't for Your Majesty's favor of Xie Hao back then, how could the concubine make a plan to use her own flesh and blood to frame her, and the child's death would have been stained with blood on His Majesty's hands."
"Where there is Xie Hao, Your Majesty has never been able to see the concubine, and the concubine is superfluous even if she stands in front of you, just like the weeds in the imperial garden are not worthy of your nostalgia, and they will be pulled out by others at any time." Qi Guifei covered her face, tears dripping from her fingers, and she was still smiling and talking.
"Xie Hao is dead, Your Majesty can see the concubine, but why can't Your Majesty forget her? Even in her sleep, Her Majesty is calling her name, and she is so infatuated with people who look similar to her, the concubines are unwilling, and the concubines hate her. ”
"The concubine also hopes that one day, you can come to see the concubine once by looking at Xie Hao."
The scolding and anger in Emperor Jin Yuan's heart could not be vented at this moment, he was silent for a moment and no longer listened to Concubine Qi.
Step by step, he walked out: "Concubine Qi is unwell, she is recuperating in Huarong Palace, and the affairs of the six palaces are fully handed over to Concubine Shu, and she is not allowed to visit without a purpose." ”
Seeing that Emperor Jin Yuan was about to walk out of the palace, Qi Guifei lay on the edge of the bed and choked loudly: "Concubine, thank you Your Majesty Longen!" ”
When the door of the palace was closed, Qi Guifei wiped away her tears and smiled faintly in the dimness with the corners of her lips.
