Chapter 269: Calling the Shots
In the outer hall of the Guanju Palace, which is full of orange sunsets, there is a faint fragrance of lilies. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com] The dripping leak placed on the side of Duobaoge, the pointer pointed to the second quarter of the hour in a thin rustle.
With a 'ding' sound, the plain silver hairpin held by Li Qingmu touched the bronze engraved peony flower incense burner with lily incense.
Zhen Ronghua sat on the carved round table on the side of the low couch, her eyes slightly red.
She took the brocade handkerchief and lightly touched the side of her nose, and said softly to Li Qingmu, who was sitting on the low couch without a trace of expression on her face, "The queen mother, the concubine is out of order." The concubines saw the sadness in the hearts of the four princes, all because they loved and pitied him for losing his biological mother at a young age. ”
After sobbing, Zhen Ronghua raised her eyes and glanced at Li Qingmu's expression. Seeing that Li Qingmu couldn't hear her words, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Wen Qing walked in from the outside with small steps, and instructed the little palace maid to place a tea cup and a white jade plate osmanthus cake on the small table beside Zhen Ronghua's hand.
Personally put a white jade tea cup on the small table on the side of Li Qingmu's hand, and asked Qing to say softly, "Queen Mother, the fourth prince has woken up." ”
'Ding' and 'Ding' twice, Li Qingmu knocked the plain silver hairpin in his hand twice on the incense burner, put it down and said, "Let the nurse be careful and know what is hot and cold." ”
"Yes, the slave will tell you." Wen Qing raised her eyes, and saw Zhen Ronghua's gaze collide with hers and flashed over.
"Zhen Ronghua feels sorry for the four princes, how can this palace blame you?" Li Qingmu finally raised his head to look at Zhen Ronghua, and smiled softly, "Not only Zhen Ronghua feels sorry for the four princes, but this palace also feels sorry for the four princes, and I can't see him crying." ”
"The fact that the four princes can be in the Guanju Palace is a blessing that the four princes have cultivated for several generations." Zhen Ronghua's tone was soft, but there was a trance in his eyes.
Grabbing the brocade handkerchief in his hand, Zhen Ronghua got up from the round table and knelt down to Li Qingmu, biting her cherry lip and saying, "Queen Mother, concubine, can you ......?"
Her beautiful eyes swept over the palace maid waiting in the outer hall, and Zhen Ronghua's eyes showed a hint of expectation.
Li Qingmu took a sip of the teacup, wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and said to Zhiliu who was standing on the side, "Zhiliu ......"
Zhiliu blessed, and took out the eight little palace maids in the outer hall.
"Zhen Ronghua, if you have something to say, just say it." Li Qingmu looked at Zhen Ronghua, who was kneeling at his feet, and said bluntly, "Don't take the fourth prince as a fool anymore." ”
"The concubines see that the four princes are true, and they don't treat him as a concubine. It's just that what I want to say to the queen is also true. Zhen Ronghua, who has always shown people with softness, showed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Then let's talk about it." Li Qingmu raised his eyebrows and replied.
"The Queen." Zhen Ronghua pursed her lips, and tears appeared again in her ruthless eyes, "Queen Mother, the concubine begged the Queen Mother to be the master of Mrs. Liu, and to give Mrs. Liu justice." ”
Li Qingmu chuckled, "Mrs. Liu died in childbirth, what justice do you want?" ”
"Mrs. Liu did die in childbirth, but this difficult childbirth ...... Queen Mother," Zhen Ronghua choked up and cried, "Mrs. Liu loves her child, and since she knew that she was pregnant, she was careful everywhere and always paid attention. Now that she was nine months pregnant, and her body was heavy, how could she easily leave her own palace and go to the imperial garden? Queen Mother, Qing Xiuyi is very strict with the second prince on weekdays, how could the second prince bump into Mrs. Liu's body? ”
Li Qingmu gently closed his eyes and pondered what Zhen Ronghua said.
When the ancestral system of Zigui's mother's death had not been abolished, Mrs. Liu once dropped the fetus in her womb with her own hands. Liu Yan has always been ashamed of this, so he pays attention to the dragon heir in his belly on weekdays.
If nothing else, even the nurse sent it in from her own mother's house, I knew that she would hurt the child in her womb more.
In this case, it was impossible for her to wander around the Imperial Garden with a huge belly.
Qing Xiuyi has great ambitions in her heart, and she is very strict with the discipline of the second prince. At the age of two, he has already learned to memorize four books. On weekdays, the second prince is like a mouse who sees a cat in front of Qing Xiuyi, and it is often when Qing Xiuyi coughs, the second prince has to hide behind the nurse.
How could such a child who obeyed his mother's words run around and bumped into a pregnant concubine?
Mrs. Liu's difficult birth is indeed suspicious.
Opening his eyes, Li Qingmu looked at Zhen Ronghua and smiled again, and said, "Zhen Ronghua, this palace will not ask you if there is any evidence in your hand to prove that Mrs. Liu's matter is indeed strange. It is only said that this palace is the princess of Dashun, so she can't be the master of Mrs. Liu. If you really want to avenge Mrs. Liu, you should go to Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Miao. Now the affairs of the harem are taken care of by the two of them, as long as what you say is true, you will definitely give Mrs. Liu justice. ”
Li Qingmu didn't want to wade into this muddy water, the more the harem concubines fought, the more beneficial it would be for Emperor Jianning to stabilize the previous dynasty.
And there is no need for her to be involved, she just needs to protect the prince and let him grow up safely.
"Queen Mother, who is Qing Xiuyi, do you really not know in your heart?" Zhen Ronghua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a firm tone, "If someone didn't allow her to do this, how dare she?" Even if the concubine has evidence in her hands, in the end, let alone that she can't get back the announcement for Mrs. Liu, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her to protect herself. ”
As soon as Zhen Ronghua's words were finished, Li Qingmu's heart immediately appeared with Mrs. Wen's name.
Mrs. Wen suddenly got so close to Qing Xiuyi, it was impossible not to ask for something. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that Mrs. Wen is going to the four princes.
Qing Xiuyi disrupted Mrs. Wen to hold the prince, so she cooperated with Mrs. Wen to give Mrs. Liu's child to Mrs. Wen.
Left and right, the second prince is young, and naughty is a common thing. If he has done something wrong, he can also use a sentence of childish ignorance to shirk the past.
After Mrs. Wen raised the four princes, the next thing to do was to seek the position of prince.
With a sigh in her heart, Li Qingmu straightened her expression, she always felt that she had missed something.
"Zhen Ronghua, if you want to say it, then say it happily." Li Qingmu's gaze at Zhen Ronghua became sharp, "If you don't want to say it, then walk out of Guan Ju Palace." Today's events are treated as if nothing had happened in this palace. The four princes don't bother you, and they have their own palace to take care of them. ”
Zhen Ronghua looked up at Li Qingmu and stood up with her skirt. She returned to the small table and took a sip of tea juice, moistened her throat, and then knelt down in front of Li Qingmu again, and said, "Queen Mother, this matter was done by Mrs. Wen, Qing Xiuyi, and Wen Chongyuan. Mrs. Wen has been in the palace for many years and has no children, and what she did was the fourth prince. The relationship between Qing Xiuyi and Mrs. Wen has always been not harmonious, and the reason for the discord is related to the crown prince. ”
Raising her eyes and seeing that Li Qingmu's expression was still light, Zhen Ronghua continued, "Since then, Mrs. Wen has been making things difficult for Qing Xiuyi everywhere, and Qing Xiuyi has done this in order to let Mrs. Wen give her a chance to breathe. And Wen Chongyuan, what he did was to live in Fengyang Palace. As long as Mrs. Liu dies, she will be the highest-ranking concubine in Yijing Palace. Now that the dragon heir in her womb is six months old, as long as she gives birth to a prince, she will have the opportunity to win the position of lady. ”
Li Qingmu sighed lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Wen Chongyuan didn't even dare to give birth to the child in her womb when she was still a good person. A few years had passed, and she had locked her eyes on Madame's place.
Moreover, the means are so cold.
"The date is also chosen by them in advance. The emperor was sick with the dragon's body, and the queen was sick in the Qingxin Palace, so she didn't have time to go to Mrs. Liu's palace to take a look. Zhen Ronghua's little face became distorted, and she gritted her teeth and said, "All kinds of calculations are all about putting Mrs. Liu to death." ”
"Isn't Madame Miao ignorant of what they're doing?" Li Qingmu raised her eyebrows, "What a great opportunity this is, how could Mrs. Miao let it go?" ”
"Mrs. Miao knows." Zhen Ronghua clenched her hands tightly, and her red and swollen eyes looked at Li Qingmu, "Mrs. Miao won't care, is it because Mrs. Wen and the three of them have succeeded in their plan, and it is beneficial and harmless to Mrs. Miao?" ”
"Huh?" Li Qingmu raised his eyebrows.
"Queen Mother, even if the second prince is young and will not be punished for any trouble, if the impression of naughty and uneducated is left in the emperor's heart, it will also have an impact on the second prince in the future." Zhen Niangzi looked at Li Qingmu's face and said softly, "Queen Mother, the day of the prince, but I was also at the scene......
Li Qingmu's expression was shocked, and he was empowered!
This is Mrs. Wen, Qing Xiuyi, and Wen Chongyuan's plan to kill multiple birds with one stone. It is not by chance that the prince appeared in the imperial garden, if the prince is not in a hurry to go to the Qingxin Palace, I am afraid that the person who knocked Mrs. Liu to the ground is the prince.
In the realm, Qing Xiuyi would not say to others that the prince was unintentional. |Wonderful|Pen|Pavilion
An family is not easy to mess with in the court.
Silver teeth clenched, and hatred rose in Li Qingmu's heart. She knew that these people would not completely stop, but she didn't want to do a trick on the prince here.
Zhen Ronghua knelt forward and climbed two steps, reached out to grab Li Qingmu's skirt, gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, concubine, please give Mrs. Liu a chance to avenge her grievances, and concubine please have mercy on the fourth prince who is still in infancy." The concubines also ask you to plan more for your crown prince. ”
Mrs. Zhaoyue said that Zhen Ronghua knew Li Qingmu's identity. The sentence 'for your prince' makes it clear that Zhen Ronghua knows that the prince is Li Qingmu's biological son.
Li Qingmu took a deep breath, looked at Zhen Ronghua with a resolute look in his eyes, and sneered, "Zhen Ronghua, after three years, you really impressed this palace." You're here to say this to me, it's not just as simple as seeking justice for Mrs. Liu, right? ”
"The queen mother is very smart, and the concubines don't dare to play tricks in front of the queen mother." Zhen Ronghua let go of Li Qingmu's skirt and looked indifferent.
"Then tell me, what do you want?" One more is offered~~
