Chapter 39: The Concubine
The half-swallowed grapes almost stuck in Concubine Xie's throat and blocked her!
Glaring at the little palace maid who entered the door, Concubine Xie patted her chest and finally took a breath, and couldn't help but scold: "Bastard thing, if something happens in the middle palace, something will happen, what are you shouting, do you know that you almost choked the palace?" Are you tired of being crooked? ”
"Niangniang spare her life......" The little palace maid was so frightened by her sharp accusation that her legs trembled, and she fell to her knees with "poof".
But thinking of the importance of the Middle Palace, she finally stubbornly said: "But Niangniang, the slave maid just heard that the house in the Middle Palace is going to collapse, and the second prince is also ...... inside."
"What did you say?!" Concubine Xie finally got over and almost carried it again.
The little palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her mouth trembled: "It's ......"
"That's it! I don't need to say it! Xie Guifei's face was whiter than her, and she didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she had already slammed the table and stood up.
She couldn't get enough of it, so she raised her hand and waved it again, and the glass plate with the best grapes on the table in front of her smashed on the ground and shattered it with a "snap".
The grapes inside were like small beads spilled, some jumped twice, some broke the skin, and the juice was all over the ground.
There was a mess in front of her, but Concubine Xie didn't care so much, she raised her feet and walked out, leaving a series of instructions: "Come on, come with me, this palace wants to see what kind of reputation she is doing in the middle palace!" Come on, go, find the emperor for the palace! It's just too deceitful! ”
Agile movements, fast steps, where can you still see the "weak" appearance on weekdays?
Before the person she sent to complain ran to Qianning Palace, when Concubine Xie rushed to the Middle Palace with people, Emperor Liang had already got the news.
The two of them almost arrived on their front and back feet.
The huge courtyard of the middle palace was full of people, Empress Xue was supported by someone leaning against the big locust tree on the side, her eyes were closed, Ming Chun and several other big palace maids were ordering someone to carry her to the inner room of the Kunyuan Hall to rest.
It's a mess everywhere.
The Kunyuan Palace, which was located alone, was fine, but the large hall on the left-hand side was already obviously crooked, and the whole room looked unspared, and some people screamed to avoid the falling tiles, and cried for the other rooms to move things faster.
The army was in chaos, and no one even noticed that the emperor was coming.
However, although Mother Cui, who had been supporting Queen Xue before, was old, her eyes were very good, and when she looked up and saw someone coming, she hurriedly bent her knees to ask for peace: "Your Majesty, ten thousand blessings." ”
Her voice quickly alerted the others, and several big palace maids stopped their movements one after another.
Empress Xue, who was "unconscious", didn't know whether she finally relieved herself or how, when she heard the word "Your Majesty", her eyes suddenly moved, and then she slowly opened her eyes: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" Ah! ”
She held her forehead weakly, and was about to get up with the support of Cui's mother, but before she could say a crying word, she turned her head and saw Xie Guifei who was already red-eyed beside Emperor Liang.
It was too late for Empress Xue to pretend to be dizzy, so she could only pause for a moment and slowly sit up: "The concubine is also here." ”
Emperor Liang frowned, obviously in a bad mood: "What are you doing?" What about Beichen? ”
"He ......" Empress Xue opened her mouth, and before she could finish the words that followed, Emperor Liang had already waved her hand and walked towards the dilapidated house that was about to collapse.
As early as when they were still talking back and forth, Xie Guifei had already rushed to the house with someone, whimpering and shouting with all her might: "Beichen, Beichen, how are you doing Beichen?" Beichen, come out quickly! ”
The situation was critical, and they didn't dare to get too close, and there was a commotion outside, so the cry was actually muffled a lot, and it was not so loud.
A few little palace maids were also helping to shout, hoping that the two inside would come out quickly.
Emperor Liang's face turned blue, with a tiger face, and he stood there without speaking.
Concubine Xie shouted randomly, but did not get a response from inside.
With tears in her eyes, it took a long time for Ai Ai to come up and hug Emperor Liang's arm, looking at the broken tiles in front of her, and the tears came down: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not alive!" Yu'er was injured, and she had already gone to the concubine for half her life, if Beichen had something to do, what would it mean for the concubine to live......
"No nonsense!" It was rare for Emperor Liang to be so harsh with her, but Concubine Xie only choked, and did not feel aggrieved, let alone afraid.
The more angry the emperor is at this moment, it means that the more important Beichen is, and the more ridiculous what the middle palace is doing now, whether this Kunyuan Hall will still be controlled by this slut surnamed Xue in the future, it is uncertain.
However, in the end, the position of the middle palace is secondary, and the position of the son's prince is the most important.
Although she has always been very favored and may have another child in the future, who knows if she will give birth to a son or a daughter, not to mention how difficult it is to support a child in this palace!
Aren't the three princes of the concubines full-term?
And how difficult it is to raise an excellent child!
Isn't the prince being raised and abolished?
When the time comes, she will be lonely, with no one to rely on, and she will have to compete for favor with the new young concubines below, and she will have to support other people's sons to become emperors in the future.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xie Guifei whimpered and cried again.
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to talk nonsense, Beichen is the meat that fell from the concubine's pregnancy in October, and he is so talented, he has defeated the armies of Ning and Wu in a row, he has nothing to do on such a dangerous battlefield, and the result is ......"
When Concubine Xie said this, she suddenly grabbed Mingqiu who was following on the side in a hurry: "What about the people of Beichen, are you in the middle palace trying to force me to death?" It wasn't enough to harm my daughter, and now it's harming my son again! It's all you, it's all you! Beichen is so dignified, why did he run there! ”
Where could Mingqiu stand her crazy energy, and the whole person was lifted up by her almost in the air.
She was not very good at talking, so she had to bear it silently at this time, and when she put down her hand and didn't care about her own safety, she simply rushed to the door and shouted: "Your Highness, girl, come out quickly, this house is going to collapse!" ”
shouted several times, and there was a faint sound of someone talking inside, but no one came out.
Concubine Xie had already turned her head and rushed in front of Empress Xue.
Empress Xue was supported by Cui's mother, and finally stood firm, but before she could come back to her senses, she was pounced on by Concubine Xie: "The surname is Xue, you want to kill me, do you want to kill me?" Your Majesty treats me well, you are angry, you are coming at me! Why do you harm my children, why do you ......"
She looked at the momentum, and her strength was not small at all, but she was born with a weak appearance, and at the moment she was crying with pear blossoms and rain, clearly looking like a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied.
It's not good to pull too hard next to Ming Dong, otherwise it will look like she's bullying people.
"What for!" Empress Xue was almost sat down by her pounce, and the previous grievances completely broke out, "What are you arguing with me?" How much effort did this palace have to pull him in, he himself has to go in to save people! ”
Empress Xue didn't have a good face at her, she was still angry.
"With so many pairs of eyes watching, so many of us want to pull him, can we hold it? He himself is like a wild horse that has escaped, with Beichen's strength, all of us in the Middle Palace combined may not be his opponent! ”
There is some truth to this.
But now is not the time to be reasonable, Concubine Xie Guifei's body was crooked, and she simply cried neatly and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save Beichen, the concubine only has such a son!" In the past, he charged on the battlefield, and his concubines were scared, and finally returned to the palace, why did he encounter this kind of thing again......"
She cried so much that she was really sad when she heard the tears: "Queen Mother, people have come to the Middle Palace well, can't you just have no explanation!" ”
On the way here, there was already a palace maid who probably told her what happened here, although Jiang Mengyun was also a scourge, but the culprit was Mo Xin'er, and then traced back, there was nothing wrong with her finding Queen Xue.
Who told her to raise such a tricky and domineering daughter, snatching other people's things and smashing other people's houses!
Sure enough, he was born in a peasant family, but he was uneducated.
The ancestor of the Xue family was a small landlord, and later did the imperial grain business to get acquainted with the official family, and bought some officials before gradually embarking on a career in office.
However, his family is not a scholar, and so far there has only been one Hanlin and three Jinshi, and they all took the exam for many years before they were admitted.
Concubine Xie was not angry in her heart, no matter how poor the Xie family was, she was also a serious scholar.
If it weren't for Empress Xue's father who happened to save the life of the first emperor, this queen would not have been her turn.
"What does this palace confess!" Queen Xue was already tired of her, but at this time, looking at her foxy appearance, she was even more angry, and the concubine just couldn't get on the stage.
When they were crying vigorously here, and they couldn't look down on each other in their hearts, the row of houses in front of them suddenly shook, and then there was an overwhelming "click" sound, Xie Guifei's face turned pale, she didn't cry anymore, and stood up suddenly.
Empress Xue was also stunned for a moment, if this person was really stoned to death inside......
She subconsciously took two steps forward.
Emperor Liang's face turned pale, but fortunately, the next moment, two embarrassed figures suddenly rushed out of the house, stumbling and not standing firmly, and the house behind him fell to a pulp.
Jiang Mengyun's face was a little pale, and he held something for a long time before he could catch his breath.
Mo Beichen didn't worry too much, after all, there were many more dangerous situations on the battlefield than this, he just subconsciously dragged Jiang Mengyun twice: "Hey, hey, are you okay?" ”
"Ah, I'm fine." Jiang Mengyun was slightly stunned, turned his head to look behind him, my God, it's really a big scene.
Just because Mo Xin'er smashed the tenon, such a large area of the house collapsed.
The third princess is amazingly destructive, and it is not the first time she has had a conflict with her, maybe she will come back in a few days.
I'm afraid that this time Empress Xue herself won't dare to let her live in this courtyard anymore.
In the midst of the chaos, Peony silently stepped forward and handed back the clothes Mo Beichen had taken off.
