Chapter 147: Headwinds

"The emperor is angry! This matter is just a coincidence, and Concubine Zhuang really can't be blamed. Mei Guiren struggled to get up, but was tormented by the severe pain in his abdomen, and he didn't have any strength.

Running down her pale cheeks, the cold sweat that slipped down mixed with hot tears, and it was hard to tell whether it was more sad or painful.

Concubine Zhuang knelt numbly under the emperor's head, her face calm. There is no such innocent expectation for a long time, so naturally he will not expect the emperor to believe that he is innocent.

The emperor sat upright, calmly looking at Concubine Zhuang in front of him, but in his ears was the weak and weak pleas of the flattering nobles. "Don't blame Concubine Zhuang, it's all bad for concubines. Your Majesty, the loss of a child is not what the concubines want, I beg the emperor to relax his heart! ”

"Your Majesty." Ruyue took a big stride, rolled up a hot wind, and walked in in a hurry. "How's the lady going?"

Concubine Zhuang heard that Concubine Ru was coming, so she shrank to the side slightly.

Only then did Ruyue notice that Concubine Zhuang's hair was scattered, the black satin was leaking to the ground, and the golden hairpin on her sideburns was thrown on the side of the emperor's dragon boots, and the round pearls on it were crushed into powder. "Your Majesty, what is the matter?"

The emperor raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and his cold voice was extremely displeased: "You ask her!" Let her speak for herself! ”

Concubine Zhuang smiled indifferently and snorted lightly before saying: "The concubine made an unintentional mistake, if you don't believe it, the emperor, you will send the concubine." Why bother to ask this time. ”

"Shut up!" Ruyue knew that Concubine Zhuang was not going well, and she took off her hairpin to treat the sin, what a humiliation it was. Thinking about the hairpin, the emperor plucked it out with his own hands and stepped on it again.

A few days ago, the emperor treated Concubine Zhuang so well, so gently, but it was just a misunderstanding, and these feelings disappeared in an instant, which was too incredible and cruel.

The emperor in front of her, Ruyue was a little afraid to admit it. The dark eyes were the same as before, but they were no longer warm. "Your Majesty. The concubine didn't believe that Concubine Zhuang would deliberately embarrass the nobles, so it was an unintentional mistake. Mei Guiren has a body, she really can't work hard, seeing her crying so pitifully, the concubine can't bear it. But please ask the emperor to look at his sister's thin face and forgive Sister Zhuang! ”

"If the concubine Niangniang just came, I don't know, my nobles are shocked, the dragon fetus is not guaranteed, such a big thing, how can it be said that it is an unintentional mistake!" Zi Jia knelt on the ground, resentful: "Even if Concubine Ru wants to take the mouth of the slave, it doesn't matter." The words have to be made clear, isn't it just that the little princess fell down before she was a toddler, and the little girl who was killed didn't mean to help. Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, as for the cane on the spot? It's still when my nobles pass by the Imperial Garden, I'm afraid to think deeply, think about it carefully, I'm afraid it's full of flaws! ”

"That's enough, shut up." Mei Guiren sat up after eating, and scolded Zijia and said: "In front of the emperor like a concubine, how can you be allowed to talk too much, and you don't get out of the palace quickly." ”

"Nobleman." Zijia stubbornly refused, and she softened her heart a little when she faced the aggrieved eyes of the noble people. "Get out." The noble man gave another order.

Zi Jia bowed to the emperor at this time, got up and retreated.

Concubine Ru listened to Zijia's words, and knew that this must have been explained by the noble man in the morning. Otherwise, how dare the little palace maid chew Concubine Zhuang in front of the emperor. first borrowed Zijia's mouth to express the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then blocked it in every possible way, and then highlighted his generosity. Such a trick has long been left over from the palace women's play.

With a lot of contempt in her heart, Ruyue just sat down beside the emperor quietly and let out a long sigh. "Your Majesty, the concubines don't know about the dragon fetus of the noble people...... The world is impermanent, and the flattering nobles are really pitiful. ”

The emperor's face turned cold, and he said slowly for a long time: "Whether Concubine Zhuang has a heart or not, it is a big mistake after all." I have treated you too well, and I have to be so reckless as you. Where is there still a little warmth on weekdays. It is said that the young and the young of people, do you cherish Xiaowei, but don't you care about the flesh and blood in the womb of others? ”

"Your Majesty, Xiaowei was not born by Concubine Zhuang's sister in October, but she is the meat on the tip of her heart." Ruyue touched her heart, just for the emperor's sentence and the childishness. "Compare your heart to your heart, the concubine will never believe that Sister Zhuang will do it on purpose. Please also make a holy judgment. ”

"So what?" The emperor snorted coldly: "Isn't it wrong if you didn't do it on purpose?" The dignified concubine lord beats the palace maid to death with a stick at every turn, is it a glorious thing? Or are you selfishly biased in favor of Concubine Zhuang, thinking that it is common for people to be careless in the harem? ”

No matter how he was talking, the emperor came at him. Ruyue was overwhelmed by this unexpected sentence, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Concubine Zhuang didn't quite hear the limelight, so she couldn't help but take it on herself: "Your Majesty, what you said is right." The concubine's unintentional mistake was also a mistake, and she had nothing to do with others. Concubine Ru didn't know what it was. It is the concubines who are pampered and arrogant, and the heinous ones are also concubines, in this case, the concubines are willing to bear the punishment, but please ask the emperor not to blame others. ”

As she spoke, Concubine Zhuang knelt on the ground with her palms and bowed heavily: "The concubine is willing to accept the sin." ”

The breath has not disappeared, Ruyue only feels that her heart hurts badly. Seeing Concubine Zhuang wronged herself like this, her heart was even more unhappy. put himself down, knelt in front of the emperor, and did not speak. But it was the beautiful nobleman who rolled off the bed with a pop and climbed to his side regardless of his image.

"Your Majesty, the loss of a child by a concubine is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart. But in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with the two palaces at all. If it weren't for the concubine's covetousness of the imperial garden in the morning, she wouldn't have gone alone. If the concubine does not go, she will not be frightened. Your Majesty, Concubine Zhuang didn't know that the concubine was present at the time, otherwise she would have clinged to the concubine and the imperial heir in her womb no matter what, and it would definitely not be like this. The noble man cried again and again, and every sentence was heartfelt.

The concubine knew that the emperor was furious. failed to keep the child, it was the concubine's incompetence. If the emperor must punish the two palace maidens, please send the concubines together. On weekdays, if the concubine is kind to the concubine, how can the concubine not be able to take revenge. Speaking of moving, this charming nobleman didn't know where the strength came from, and knelt up straight.

Ruyue was a little irritable when she heard it, but Concubine Zhuang was rarely sober. "What do you say? All mistakes are the property of the palace. When did the emperor say that he would punish Concubine Ru? Why are you hanging on your lips, and you keep saying that you are the mother of the two palaces? ”

The pear blossoms crying with rain are really pitiful. The emperor leaned down and held her up with both hands: "Good and decent, what are you going to do when you come down." Exonerate others word by word, you can also see it, where do they have half of your affection? ”

"They?" Ruyue almost blurted out. "The emperor is saying that the concubines are hard-hearted, but instead of caring for the nobles, they also bite Lu Dongbin?" Originally, I wanted to kneel and plead for Concubine Zhuang, but the fire in my heart was soaring, and Ruyue couldn't care about any courtesy. "The emperor is talking like this, is he trying to crush the hearts of his concubines?

Xiaowei was hurt, and it was inevitable that Sister Zhuang, who was a mother, would feel distressed. Your Majesty, you were not present at the time, and so were the concubines, what happened during the period, why did Sister Zhuang insist on killing the palace maid, the emperor is not clear, and the concubines are the same. But the concubine knows that the mother has a heart for the child, and she will never be the slightest bit inconsiderate.

Sister Zhuang can cherish Xiaowei like this, why can't she be as young as a person. These are all speculations on your own, Your Majesty. In your own mind, take it as the whole truth. This is clearly your partiality and maintenance, but instead you want to say that the concubine is not. ”

Mei Guiren knew that Concubine Ru was angry, and she was secretly proud in her heart, if she didn't take the opportunity to put you with you today, wouldn't she be sorry for the month-old child in her womb! Since you can't be born, even death has to be valuable.

It's just that your two concubines are unlucky.

"If the concubine is angry, where will the emperor mean this. In the emperor's heart, he has always cherished you the most. Where will be partial to the concubines. It's just that the emperor watched his concubine lose her child, pitiful. The charming noble bird snuggled in the emperor's arms like a human, crying softly, and looked at the emperor with expectant eyes: "Your Majesty, do you say yes, don't hurt the mother's heart." ”

The emperor's broad palm gently wiped away the tears on the face of the nobleman. But the words in his mouth were not merciful: "What about my partiality? Rufei, do you have any dissatisfaction? ”

Ruyue's lips trembled a little, and tears filled her eyes, but she didn't know how hard she worked, and swallowed it back. "The concubine doesn't dare."

"That'll be fine." The emperor snorted coldly and said unhurriedly: "I have spoiled you on weekdays, and one by one you have become hard-hearted. Chang Yonggui, pass on my will. Concubine Zhuang was brutal, killed the palace maid with a cane, her sins were unforgivable, she was stripped of her title, reduced to a concubine, and knelt down in the early morning to repent and forgive her sins until dusk. ”

"Your Majesty." Ruyue's eyes were red, and she retorted angrily: "The concubine has said countless times that Sister Zhuang is an 'unintentional mistake', and it is a great humiliation to take away the title, how can the emperor bear it." Even if Sister Zhuang is really at fault, she is also the person who has been with you for a long time, do you really want to be so ruthless! ”

"Concubine Ru is becoming more and more presumptuous." The emperor did not answer Ruyue's words directly, but continued: "If the concubine is speechless in words and deeds, it is a loss of concubine virtue to favor the sinner." He was made to repent for three days at the Mantismen. In the past three days, you will accompany Wang Concubine (Wang Suchun) to repent, if you still have an arrogant attitude and do not think so, I will definitely investigate to the end. ”

Ruyue wanted to say something, but Concubine Zhuang held her hand tightly and replied first: "Concubines, thank you for the emperor's kindness." ”
