Chapter 36: The Marriage Gift
When the emperor saw the prince like this, he was more satisfied with the prince in his heart, and he was even more resentful of Ji Chen.
After a long time, I saw the emperor sneering and saying: "Okay, since he insists on marrying the daughter of Lord Shi, then I will fulfill him, let him have a good life, and treat Lord Shi's daughter as his wife, and provide for it well!" ”
So the emperor immediately ordered the eunuch next to him to take the holy decree and come over, and he said it word by word, and the eunuch next to him wrote it down word by word, and when the prince saw this scene, the corners of his mouth hooked up a secret smile.
The prince originally thought that his actions must be unaware, and others would only think that the emperor was willing to give Lord Shi's daughter to the grassroots, but he didn't expect that his words and deeds just now were seen by a grandmother next to him, and the grandmother quietly retreated.
So that night, this scene was written down word by word and placed on Ji Chen's table, Ji Chen saw the words on the paper on the table, but he didn't have any expression, and only after a long time did he sneer. crumpled the paper on the table fiercely, but he didn't immediately enter the palace to explain to the emperor, after all, the current emperor couldn't listen to anything.
He sneered and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you are so impatient, then I will inevitably fall into the ground." ”
On the second day, no prince came to the emperor's side to serve today, only Mu Guifei came to the emperor's side.
But the emperor, since he woke up that day, although his body is not visible to the naked eye, his body and spirit are much better, and he can barely listen to people talk all morning.
So on this day, Mu Guifei came to serve the emperor, she gently handed the medicine to the emperor's mouth, and the emperor looked at the charming Mu Guifei in front of him, and naturally opened his mouth well, so he drank the bitter potion with a smile.
That Mu Guifei has always been informed, he knows that the emperor's figure is just right, and he can't be too long, sitting and listening to people, he got up, slowly put the emperor to sleep, and he also lay next to the emperor's body, and quietly said some thoughtful words to the emperor.
Sure enough, the emperor's favorite is this set, although he said that he knew that he was old and his body was not very good, but he always refused to admit it, and he always sat and listened to people on weekdays. also lying beside himself and talking to himself, which made the emperor feel very kind in his heart.
If it goes on like this, it will be a mode of getting along with a loving couple, but I don't know why, the palace people in the emperor's bedroom are slowly going out one by one, it seems that there are all kinds of things, gradually, there are only two grandmothers standing there in the entire dormitory.
When Mu Guifei saw the scene in front of her, her eyes darkened a little, but she still pretended to be ignorant, and she was obediently snuggling up to the emperor and talking.
But the emperor slowly discovered the picture in front of him, only to see him frown, and said fiercely: "What's going on?" Where have all the palace people in this palace gone? I'm still lying here, where are they going? Are you going to rebel! “
And it was the two grandmothers who glanced at each other, and suddenly knelt in front of the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for the first queen." ”
At this time, Na Mu Guifei's face was frightened, and she quickly sat up and reprimanded viciously: "Who are you?" Why do you suddenly kneel? Could it be an assassin? ”
Speaking of this, Mu Guifei hurriedly opened her hands and protected the emperor behind her, and when the emperor saw Mu Guifei doing this, a warmth swelled in his heart, he slowly taught Mu Guifei to hold it in his arms, and stared at the two grandmothers below majestically and said, "Who are you?" Why is it all of a sudden? What about the palace people? Where did it all go? ”
I saw one of the grandmothers, and said in a loud voice: "Guifei Niangniang, don't be afraid, we are by no means assassins, we are the personal palace maids of the original queen, and today I suddenly offended the queen and the concubine Niangniang, I really want to report something." ”
When the emperor and Mu Guifei heard this, they glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, only to hear Mu Guifei say fiercely: "What is the matter?" I can't say it in public, so I have to wait until there is no one around? ”
Another grandmother saw this situation, and hurriedly said: "This is a matter of the life and death of the first queen, I don't want to let more people know, I'm afraid that only I am sick, so today I found various ways to send out the other palace people in this palace, leaving only Mu Guifei you, and the emperor wants to tell you the truth about the death of the first queen!" ”
When the emperor heard this, he frowned and said, "The death of the first queen? Isn't the first queen sick? What is the truth? ”
When the grandmother heard the emperor say this, tears were left on her face: "Your Majesty, you have always been kind-hearted, and you definitely don't know the privacy of this harem, the first queen, it was not that she died of illness that day, but was poisoned alive!" ”
The emperor couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly scolded: "It's nonsense, the death of the first queen, but you can say it at will, and you don't call it quickly, who made you bewitch the public in front of this!" ”
When the mother heard the emperor say this, she didn't seem to be surprised, but she still said slowly: "The slave and maid naturally know that the emperor doesn't want to believe it, but the slave and maid have physical evidence." ”
As she spoke, the grandmother took out a bottle from her arms and handed it to the emperor. The emperor was puzzled, picked up the bottle, and found that this was the hibiscus paste he gave to the former queen last time.
"This ...... This is what I once gave to the first queen, and now that you take this out, don't you say that I poisoned the first queen? The emperor asked coldly.
The grandmother hurriedly shook her head and said, "The slave naturally doesn't dare, but this potion is indeed poisonous, but the person who poisoned it is definitely not the emperor, but the current queen!" “
"Queen, hmph, how can I believe the words of you two cheap maids, not alarmist, the queen has always been kind, why do you want to harm the first queen?"
When the grandmother heard the emperor say this, she leaned over and said: "The emperor trusts the queen mother so much, and it is also understandable, after all, who can know that the queen mother has always been respectful and filial in front of the former queen, and who knows that there is such a vicious mind hidden in it." But the emperor doesn't believe it, you can take this bottle and take a look, and the imperial doctor will definitely detect that this bottle is poisonous! And as for how the queen was poisoned and how she was poisoned, all of this is evidenced by human and physical evidence! ”
As she spoke, the grandmother told the story.
It turns out that the former queen and the current queen are both women who entered the palace, and the queen has always been benevolent, so she takes special care of today's queen mother.
Because today's queen is inevitably very young. Therefore, the first queen even often summoned the queen to the palace and slept with her.
Unexpectedly, knowing the face but not the heart, I don't know when, the current queen mother has a vicious mind about the former queen who has entered and wants to poison her.
"That day, the emperor, you rewarded the first queen mother with this bottle of hibiscus cream, because this is the emperor's gift, naturally no one suspects that there is any poison in it, so the current queen mother found an opportunity to put poison in this hibiscus cake, the first queen will not suspect the emperor, and the queen will not suspect the queen mother, and this hibiscus paste is fried every day."
"And the poison in this hibiscus cake is a chronic poison, colorless and tasteless, and even when the queen finally fell ill, the doctors thought that the queen was overworked, where could they think of poisoning? If you don't believe it, your majesty, you can take a picture of the personal palace maid next to the queen's mother, Magnolia, and you will naturally know one or two. ”
"On that day, the slave maid once saw with her own eyes that the current queen's personal palace was in the former queen's bedroom, sneaky appearance, but at that time, the slave maid and the former queen never suspected the current queen mother, but later found that Xianhuan died of poisoning, the slave and maid thought about it carefully, and then recalled that the sneaky appearance of Yulan that day must be that day! poisoned the first queen! When the mother finished saying this, her tears flowed uncontrollably, and she couldn't stop crying.
When the emperor heard what the grandmother said was so well-founded, detailed and proper, he had already believed most of it in his heart, but because it involved the current queen, he did not make up his mind, and after a moment of silence, the emperor beckoned to the palace people who came outside and said, "Go, call the queen over." ”
And Mu Guifei next to her quietly watched this farce next to her, and she didn't say much, she was still lying in the emperor's arms softly and bonelessly, as if she was terrified by the things in front of her.
And the emperor naturally felt that the body of the concubine in his arms had been trembling slightly, and he couldn't help sighing, hugged Mu Guifei tightly and said, "Concubine, don't be afraid, I am here." ”
Mu Guifei naturally hummed delicately and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not afraid, the emperor believes in the emperor, and you will definitely protect the concubines." ”
Just between the two talking, the queen had hurried to the emperor's bedroom, and as soon as she entered the palace, the queen saw the two grandmothers kneeling on the ground and Mu Guifei lying in her arms, and her face changed greatly.
Previously, the emperor didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with the queen, but seeing his face change suddenly, those who had already believed the words of the grandmother couldn't help but feel a little more sad in their hearts.
It turns out that my queen is such a femme fatale.
