Chapter 108: Secret Fight
Du Chengcheng heard that Qin Luofei couldn't afford to be sick, and he secretly heard that she went to send the emperor and fainted on the city wall, and the harem became a joke, saying that Qin Cairen admired the emperor to the point of being infatuated.
Du Qingcheng half-pursed the corners of her lips, and the golden phoenix robe made her eyes a little colder.
The five phoenixes on her head spread their wings and glazed hairpins, and the tassels hung down thinly, covering her eyebrows.
"On weekdays, I can't see that Qin Cairen is so affectionate and righteous to the emperor." Shangguan Die said with a smile.
Today, the concubines asked the queen to say goodbye, but Leng Guifei, Qin Cairen, and Luo Ziyan were missing.
"I heard that the emperor stayed in Qin Cairen's palace yesterday, I don't know if it's true or not." Chen Chongrong was on the side.
Du Qingcheng only lazily sipped the green fragrance in the tea cup.
The emperor is gone, these concubines are still not quiet, or that Qin is smart, as soon as the emperor leaves, he immediately pretends to be sick.
Concubine Shu smiled lightly and said, "Sister Qin is euphemistic and lovely, not to mention that the emperor likes it, even this concubine is very fond of her." ”
Du Tingcheng put down the cup, glanced up at Concubine Shu, a smile overflowed at the corner of his lips, and said slowly: "What Concubine Shu said is true, Qin Cairen is really lovely, and it is good for the emperor to love him more, I can't wait for the emperor to come back, and Qin Cairen can also add a man and a woman to the emperor." ”
Qin Luoyu had hatred in her eyes first, but before she spoke, Qin Luofei was her sister in the eyes of others, and if she fell into the ground, she would not be ridiculed.
After she entered the palace, she also learned to be smart, and she knew when to speak and when not to speak.
"The Empress Dowager, are you much better?" Du Chengcheng's eyes looked at Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu nodded, she has restrained a lot today, and she is no longer the swaggering appearance she usually has, even the skirt on her body is plain.
"The Empress Dowager is fine."
Du Tingcheng said with a smile: "The mourning family, I will go to see the queen mother with the concubine, and by the way, let the imperial doctor take a good look, the emperor is not there, and the mourning family must be filial to the queen mother." ”
"The concubine obeys." Concubine Shu looked respectful.
Huanmei is the head of the queen, without saying a word.
Concubine Mo didn't say hello to the queen for many days, but she came here today.
Her belly was visibly enlarged.
Now there are three concubines in the palace who are pregnant, one is her, one is the concubine, and the other is this raccoon beauty.
Only dogs that don't bark bite people, Concubine Mo feels uncomfortable when she looks at this raccoon beauty, she looks like a fox spirit, and she hides it deep enough.
Du Chengcheng glanced at the concubines and said: "Now, when the emperor leaves the palace, it is indispensable for the sisters to unite as one, and the mourning family will not pay attention to anything else in the past. ”
Huanmei was beside her, frowning slightly, but did not speak, just gently stroked her stomach with her hand.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Mo looked at each other and turned their heads.
Coming out of the queen's palace, Concubine Mo helped the palace maid back to the palace, and secretly instructed someone to announce the imperial doctor to see if there was anything wrong with her body.
She didn't believe that the people of the Du family had any good things, and while the emperor was away, she would have to do something, if something that shouldn't be done in the palace, the child in her belly would still be alive.
It was really not the right time for the emperor to leave, and he had to obey the queen's orders, so he had to be cautious.
Concubine Mo's actions had already been told to Du Tingcheng, Du Tingcheng snorted coldly, and said secretly in his heart: The mourning family, it's not so stupid, can the mourning family still use those means? I want to give birth to a prince and want to be beautiful. ”
Concubine Shu and the queen came out of the palace, they felt a pain in their stomachs, and went back to their palace first, Du Chengcheng did not go to visit the queen mother for many days, and saw that the concubine was unwell, so he took a few close palace maids to the palace of the queen mother.
Before arriving at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, I saw the little eunuch who was serving the second prince coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace in a smoke.
Xi Ju hid in the corner, and saw Du Qingcheng enter the palace of the Empress Dowager from a distance, and quickly turned her head and walked back as if nothing happened.
After entering his palace, he opened the curtain, and saw that the young lady was happily lying on the couch eating fresh fruits, Xi Ju walked to Qin Luofei's side and whispered a few words.
Qin Luofei nodded slightly.
She really wanted to know whether Du Tingcheng listened to the words of the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager.
What made her feel most unhappy was that the cold concubine didn't move at all, this scene was missing her, it was always lacking, Qin Luofei whispered a few words in Xi Ju's ear, Xi Ju looked at the young lady suspiciously, and then nodded.
It's really easy to use money, and I don't know where the wind is blowing, saying that someone saw the palace maid next to Leng Guifei secretly meeting the guards, and the harem was boiling for a while.
As soon as the emperor left, something like this happened.
Where does a palace maid have such courage to meet the guards privately, it must be to pave the way for Concubine Leng to build a bridge, which can ruin the reputation of the royal family.
In the end, even the Queen Mother heard the rumors and summoned Du Chengcheng.
When Du Tingcheng walked into the Queen Mother's palace, she felt that the atmosphere was oppressive, and she rarely saw the Queen Mother so angry.
The Queen Mother raised her head with cold eyes, and waved her hand to tell the palace maid who was waiting beside her to step down.
"Go and check with the mourning family to find out who leaked it?" This was a good game arranged by them, but they didn't expect to be disturbed, some people said that the person who had contact with Leng Guifei was someone from the Lin family.
The return of the Lin family to the court can be described as a threat to the Du family, there are many old departments of the Lin family, and the emperor is also very important, otherwise, he would not have spoiled a disfigured woman again and again, not because her mother's family is the Lin family.
Fornicating with concubines is a serious crime, as long as this crime is pressed on the head of the Lin family, taking advantage of the emperor's absence, the Lin family will be bulldozed.
"Auntie, could it be that the people of the Lin family have noticed something?" Du Qingcheng lowered his voice.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said hatefully: "Mourning family, I think it's not that old thing who is making trouble." Do you still want to reorganize the scenery of their Han family? ”
Du Qingcheng saw that the queen mother's anger was still gone, and he didn't dare to speak more. only smiled: "I don't know what happened to the emperor." ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, picked up the cup on the low table, and said, "Your good emperor, the good emperor of the mourning family can't go back." ”
Du Qingcheng was shocked in her heart, although she knew that her aunt was prejudiced against the emperor, and her aunt also preferred the seventh emperor's brother, but the emperor was her biological son after all.
"Auntie."
The Queen Mother glanced at Du Qingcheng coldly and said, "Now, the mourning family might as well tell you." Your father has already done it, and the emperor can't go back.
He is not the emperor of the mourning family, he is the child of the cheap woman Concubine Ming. Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know, the first emperor obviously favored him, and pretended to be indifferent to him, just to protect him, to give him this throne, and to abolish my own son. ”
"Then he and Lord Xi are brothers of the same mother." Du Qingcheng was shocked, she didn't even know this big secret.
It turned out that her father and aunt had been hiding her and deceiving her, just to use her, stabilize the emperor, and stabilize the glory and wealth of the Du family.
"Concubine Ming, that slut, the mourning family used her to hit Concubine Han back then, but I didn't expect her to confuse the first king even more than Concubine Han, how could the mourning family tolerate her. But the emperor took care of it tightly, and the mourning family couldn't do it.
When she gave birth to the emperor, because of her physical weakness, the emperor lied that the child was not kept, but in fact she let the mourning family raise it on her behalf, but the princess born to the mourning family was given by the emperor to other concubines to raise, and died unexpectedly, all of which were harmed by that slut. The Queen Mother's well-maintained face became distorted because of anger, Du Qingcheng only felt cold, she didn't know that there were so many grievances between the Queen Mother and the emperor.
"Does the emperor know?" Du Tingcheng became more and more frightened in her heart, she was also a smart woman, she understood the emperor's methods, if the emperor knew that his own mother died in the hands of the queen mother, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Even if he knows now, it's too late." He didn't expect that the prince he calculated would be his own brother, and it really saved the mourning family to solve it one by one. ”
It turned out that in the past, the Queen Mother favored Lord Xi, just to use Prince Xi to deal with the emperor, and the Queen Mother was really calculating.
"In a few days, it will be the birthday of the Lin family's grandfather, you send someone to keep an eye on Qin Cairen, if there is any movement, immediately send her to the cold palace for me, find a good reason, it is best to drag the Lin family in."
The smile on the Queen Mother's face became more and more gloomy, Du Qingcheng nodded, although she didn't want to touch Qin Luofei, but the Lin family must get rid of it, and it would be more straightforward to start with Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei didn't expect that Concubine Leng would come to his palace in a big way, and she only brought a personal palace maid.
Qin Luofei was half-snuggled up on the bed, and was closing his eyes to recuperate, when he heard Xi Ju panting and rushing into the room, shouting, "Miss, do you know who came to see you?" ”
"It won't be a concubine!" Qin Luofei had a headache when she mentioned Concubine Shu, this Concubine had a big belly, and she ran to her palace every day, so that she had a big head when she saw Concubine Shu, in case there was something wrong with her stomach, the emperor came back, and he didn't put her in the cold palace!
"No, no, it's the imperial concubine." Xi Ju wiped the sweat from her forehead, she was more afraid of this imperial concubine than Du Qingcheng.
Qin Luofei frowned, and said secretly: Why is she here, it's really an owl New Year's greeting, and she didn't have a good heart.
"Then invite the imperial concubine in!" Qin Luofei was too lazy to move, now that the emperor is gone, there is no need for her to be so afraid of her.
"Miss, this is not good!" Xi Ju was afraid that the imperial concubine would be annoyed, so she clicked the young lady.
Qin Luofei glared at Xi Ju vigorously and said, "You Miss and I have my own measure, hurry up and invite the imperial concubine in!" I wouldn't mind if I wanted to come to the imperial concubine. ”
"Naturally, I don't mind my sister, my sister is unwell, so just lie down! My sister said a few words and left. With this voice, Leng Guifei twisted this waist and came in.
Even if the emperor is not there, this cold concubine is still dressed as a demon and a glamorous demon, and I don't know who to show it, no wonder the people in the palace believe in such rumors.
Qin Luofei nodded slightly at Xi Ju, Xi Ju put down the curtains of the warm pavilion and the inner room, and walked out of the palace with the little palace maid next to Leng Guifei, leaving only Leng Guifei and Qin Luofei.
