Chapter 30: Woe Yan (10)
"Shut up." Ruyue couldn't listen to it anymore. Although she knew that An Concubine's words could shatter the only trust left in the emperor's heart, it was an excellent opportunity to shake the queen's phoenix power. But it is related to the death of the former queen, and it must be implicated in the political affairs of the previous dynasty.
The previous dynasty was in turmoil, and I was afraid that the emperor's country would also tremble. As a last resort, Ruyue was unwilling to embarrass the emperor. I don't want to see any threat to the imperial power, after all, I care about a person, and I always hope that he will be well. It became almost an instinct to protect him to the best of his ability.
What's more, the first queen knew who she was victimized by, but because there was no conclusive evidence, she endured this resentment. It's all to protect people who are still alive, such as Mianning, and then to their mother's relatives. Time has changed, and after such a long time, it is even more difficult to dig up evidence.
An Concubine Xu was carried away by hatred, but Ruyue would not push herself to a dead end for revenge, so that more people would be buried together. Then he signaled Xi'er to help Concubine An to retreat to the inner bed first, but he was not in a hurry to appease the emperor: "Look, the concubine, this sister Jasmine is probably too sad, so she doesn't choose to speak." The emperor doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
Xi'er understood, his elbow slightly touched Peishuang, and the two of them clamped An Concubine left and right, and they were about to go to bed.
"What the concubine said is all the truth, why should the concubine be in a hurry to stop it. The emperor is wise, yes or no, just let the concubines and the queen face to face, and they will see. Concubine An didn't understand Ruyue's painstaking efforts, she didn't know that if the emperor was not abolished, in order to block the mouth of Youyou, she would be executed for the crime of slandering the queen.
Concubine Zhuang didn't care, the queen and Concubine An were originally the same raccoon dogs, except for any one of the two, or two together, it was the blessing of the harem. And this An Concubine is already red-eyed, just blindly climbing up against the wind. I can't provoke all the fire in the emperor's heart and cause thunderous anger. It is estimated that it is not something that Concubine Ru can dissuade.
After thinking about it for a while, Concubine Zhuang had a plan in mind. "Your Majesty, Concubine An is the palace maid next to the queen, and it is not impossible that she knows more than ordinary people. But right now, all the blame for Concubine An's birth is directed at the queen. The matter is serious, and it will inevitably make the concubines suspicious, whether Concubine An has the intention of revenge to say such a rebellious thing.
If you want to find out, it is better to ask the imperial doctor who used to be the queen to treat the phoenix body. If it is the time when the first queen is sick with her phoenix body, it is just the time when Concubine An knows about it, and the time when the queen threw leeches at the first queen, then maybe it is true. ”
Ruyue's fierce aura suddenly appeared, and a few traces of majesty flashed in her bright eyes. Reaching out and stroking the black silk that drooped down his cheek, he pinned it thoughtfully behind his ear. The emperor has not spoken, but he does not want to believe it at all. Concubine Zhuang is usually shrewd, but now she is confused. was slightly depressed in her heart, and Ruyue only said: "Concubine Zhuang didn't hear Concubine An's nonsense clearly, but she heard it clearly, but she confused her mind." ”
"Yes, I also believe what Yue said." Every word of the emperor is like a wedge hammered into the hardwood, although it is not hard to the ground, but it is extraordinarily tight. No one can see the needle and say something else.
The queen's breath was blocked in her chest, and she wanted to break the jar. Anyway, the emperor has long since lost himself in his heart, and this is like a fictitious queen's throne, so why not give it away. This strange force acted on the queen's heart, and she was about to tear her apart, and she was still angry, and she couldn't tell the difference.
Her once glamorous appearance has long been worn out, even if she is still beautiful, after all, she is not as beautiful as the newcomer. What's more, there is never a shortage of flower-like women in the palace, and the queen thinks about it, and she is cold and disheartened. The eyes that didn't have the slightest tear flashed a trace of sarcasm mixed with tiredness, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what Concubine Ru said is right, Concubine An's dragon fetus was poisoned by this palace." Not only An Concubine's, but there are also many dragonborns in the harem, all of whom died in the hands of the palace. The palace is the queen, and the children born in the palace are eligible to inherit the throne. The rest of the palace concubines are just a pool of blood. ”
Stumbling forward, the queen only felt a frosty air approaching, almost making her unable to breathe. But what's the bad thing if he really dies, the emperor will also help the noble concubine to ascend to the throne and raise his two princes under his knees. Tiger poison does not eat children, and the emperor will definitely not involve Miankai and Mianxin because of his own mistakes. Maybe that's relief!
The queen held the heart of death, and said resolutely: "Also, what Concubine An said...... Not half a word ......"
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother is not good, Queen Mother ......" The continuous shouting outside the hall interrupted the speech of the inner hall.
The queen swallowed the word "false words" into her stomach, and she recognized this voice, which was Jiuhong, the nurse who took care of the fourth elder brother. "Don't stop her." The queen shouted at the guards standing outside the palace, "Let her in." ”
Together with the emperor's gaze, everyone looked towards Jiuhong, and Jiuhong was still holding the fourth elder brother who was sleeping in his arms. It was at this time that Xu Miao crept in from the side of the temple door that he had just escaped, and stood quietly in an inconspicuous position.
Of course, all this did not escape Chang Yonggui's eyes, he really guessed correctly, it was Xu Miao who had a bad intention. This Jiuhong must be the person attracted by Xu Miao.
"What's going on, why are you holding Mianxin?" The queen was suddenly awakened by the sleeping appearance of the child, and the whole person suddenly had strength. "Mianxin, what's wrong?"
Ruyue was shocked by this familiar scene, and the nurse also stumbled in and cried that day. Since then, the Luan Er she has seen is just a little princess who can't cry or laugh, and only sleeps and won't wake up.
This scene reappeared again, and Ruyue's eyes were black in shock, and her mind was like a pot of boiling water, except for the constant tumbling, there was nothing else.
"What's wrong with the fourth elder brother? Hug me and see. "The anger on the emperor's face was swept away by worry, replaced by the anxiety of a loving father who cherished his young son." Mianxin, Mianxin, you open your eyes and look at Huang Ama. The emperor endured the heartache and vigilantly rested his hand on the nose of the fourth elder brother.
Fortunately, the emperor was glad in his heart, and Fu put his hand on the fourth elder brother's head again: "It's a little hot." ”
Concubine Zhuang's eyes were sharp, and she saw some small red spots on the neck of the fourth elder brother at a glance: "Your Majesty, look, the fourth elder brother seems to have a rash!" ”
"A rash?" The queen screamed unconsciously, and hurriedly pushed Concubine Zhuang forward and stepped forward: "Let the emperor take a look, what's wrong with Mianxin?" Although the queen was very anxious, the movements of her hands were extremely gentle, and she slowly opened the clothes wrapped in Mianxin, revealing the rash skin little by little. For fear that the movement would be too big and hurt him.
At this time, the empress did not feel the slightest feeling on the emperor's arm. But the emperor saw motherly pity in her equally anxious face. It is full of it, and it is never mixed with any lust for love.
"Miss." Pei Shuang called Ruyue softly, and it took a long time to see Ruyue's face soften. "Are you alright?"
Ruyue shook her head, and finally calmed down: "Queen Mother, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, the fourth elder brother is the flesh and blood of your relatives, and the illness is in the child's body but the pain is in the mother's heart." An Concubine's flesh and blood are the same. Why do you want to impose this pain on others in order to achieve your own selfish desires? ”
"Rufei, are you enough?" The queen had a cold face, and her love disappeared: "Mianxin is sick like this, are you still unwilling to stop, and you have to kill the palace to be satisfied?" ”
Concubine Zhuang is also a master who refuses to forgive, and when she heard the queen speak like this, she couldn't help but be angry: "Your Majesty, the concubines have just heard it clearly." The queen has personally admitted that An Concubine's dragon fetus is her poison. Not only that, but the queen also explained that it was not just this time.
The concubines thought that the fourth elder brother was the blood of the emperor and our Qing Dynasty, and the queen's behavior was inhumane and outrageous, and she was not worthy of being the fourth elder brother's 'imperial mother' at all. The concubine is only afraid that with such a mother, it will definitely ruin the life of the fourth elder brother. I hope the emperor will think twice. ”
These words pierced the emperor's sore spot. Poisoning the heirs of concubines is a big crime, and coupled with the seemingly unknown confused account of the first queen, the queen is afraid that she will not be able to wash it away even if she jumps into the Yellow River. If he indulges her, he is afraid that everyone in the harem will follow suit, and there will be no peace at all. But if the queen is severely punished, then it is tantamount to making such crimes public, and the royal majesty will be swept away!
Under the trade-off, Concubine Zhuang's words are particularly reasonable. The emperor looked at the young son in his arms, and his heart was unbearable. With a long sigh, Fang said: "There are many concubines in the harem, and the concubine is injured and takes care of herself. Concubine Zhuang has to take care of the pregnant nobleman, and it is difficult to be distracted, although Concubine Cheng is the concubine, she is young and vigorous in the end, and lacks ...... stability."
After all, Chang Yonggui was an old man who followed the emperor, and he immediately understood what the emperor meant. Then he stepped forward and bowed and said: "If the emperor wants to find a suitable candidate, he only needs to promote one of the other masters in the harem who has both talent and virtue." ”
said such a sentence without beginning or end, except for the queen who was concerned about Mianxin, the people present basically understood. Ruyue's heart chuckled, the concubine was hanging, and the rest was the concubine. In addition to An Concubine, it is a concubine. But what kind of character Concubine Chun is, everyone knows in their hearts. I really can't give her such a great favor for nothing.
Then there is Li Guiren, who is finally older, and she is also a palace concubine who has been with the emperor for many years. It's a pity that the emperor treats her ruthlessly, how can she just seal the concubine for nothing. For a while, everyone had a plan in their hearts, but no one dared to speak rashly without authorization.
Chang Yonggui still stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the position is secondary, mainly because of virtue and character. The more demure and elegant, the more suitable it is. ”
The emperor tasted Chang Yonggui's words, pursed his lips and said: "I remember that the noble man who used to collide with Ruyue outside the Shunzhen Gate is now more and more modest and virtuous, demure and elegant, and he is like two people back then. She Ama is also a first-class member, as if she is called Yushu. The emperor's mind suddenly remembered such a person.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Guo Luo Luo is indeed a stable person, but her position is ......" Ruyue glanced at the queen coldly, and the corners of her lips were unconsciously hooked.
