Chapter 713: The Empress's Fear
Looking around, the fourth, fifth couple, sixth, seventh couple, eighth, except for King Qin, Emperor Jingming snorted coldly: "What are you doing here?" β
These bastards can wander around during the Shangyuan Festival, but they can only go upstairs to enjoy the lanterns. Now that there is an accident in Xuande Building, they are running over one by one to see the excitement.
Emperor Jingming was about to drive them all away, when the queen shouted softly: "Your Majestyβ"
Emperor Jingming looked at the empress.
The queen whispered a few words in Emperor Jingming's ear, Emperor Jingming nodded slightly, and turned to Yu Jin and Jiang Yi: "You go back to the palace with me, and everyone else is scattered." β
After speaking, Emperor Jingming stretched out his hand to support the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you take care of your feet." β
Soon, Emperor Jingming and his entourage left Xuande Building in a mighty manner, leaving King Qi and others looking at each other.
The King of Shu was the first to speak: "I didn't expect the fourth brother to come out to enjoy the lanterns today, and the younger brother thought that you would accompany the fourth sister-in-law in the palace." β
King Qi smiled faintly and said, "Your fourth sister-in-law is unwell and can't come out, so I promise to enjoy this beautiful scenery for her." How can the sixth brother also be alone? β
The King of Shu didn't expect the King of Qi to be so high-sounding, and he couldn't help but stagnate.
He came out alone tonight, naturally because he had an unpleasant quarrel with Princess Shu.
Obviously, when Princess Shu was not out of the cabinet, she was also a top-notch figure among the nobles in the capital, how could she be such a stubborn character? He just mentioned a little about the heir, and actually gave him a face.
You must know that he is more than a month earlier than Lao Qi's marriage, and seeing that Lao Qi's daughters are about to call people, he hasn't moved here at all, can he not be in a hurry?
It's just a matter of putting it in the past, but when is it now? Having an heir will undoubtedly increase the weight in the father's heart, and maybe one more advantage will determine who wins or loses between him and the fourth child.
The king of Shu suppressed his unhappiness and said casually: "I don't know what happened, seeing that we are all coming, my father only needs the seventh brother and his wife to enter the palace." β
In terms of ranking, there are the fourth and fifth children in front of him, and it is not ashamed to be ignored by his father, but the fourth child is crossed by the seventh child, and his face is embarrassed.
King Qi obviously realized this, and could only be in vain.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, what can he do with the embarrassment given by his father besides suffering? Unless he waits for him to sit in that position, no one will dare to embarrass him again.
Regarding his father's preference for Lao Qi, although he was unhappy, he was a lot more relieved.
At a critical time, if the city of the father really cares about Lao Qi, it will not be so obvious. The father is like this, which shows that he has never considered the seventh child in his heart.
Thinking like this, King Qi felt a little better in his heart, and his henchmen were still undoubtedly the King of Shu in front of him.
King Lu listened to the conversation between the two of them, but he felt that it was not interesting at all, and pouted: "You are not curious about what happened just now?" β
What so much nonsense.
The King of Qi and the King of Shu looked at King Lu together, and of course they were curious, but it was clear that their father didn't plan to let them know.
King Lu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly grabbed a guard who wanted to leave: "What happened just now?" β
The guards didn't dare not answer: "The palace maid who was waiting for Princess Fuqing when I was enjoying the lantern fell down......"
"To say it is to say nothing." King Lu knew that he couldn't inquire too much, so he turned his head sideways and asked Princess Lu, "Do you want to continue to enjoy the lanterns, or go back to the house?" β
When this happened, Princess Lu naturally lost the heart of appreciating the lanterns, so she said, "Go home." β
King Lu was happy, and hurriedly instructed the maid to send Princess Lu back.
Princess Lu's eyes narrowed: "The prince won't go back with me?" β
"I'll go shopping again, I haven't finished seeing so many fresh lanterns yet."
Hehe, you can be regarded as getting rid of this yellow-faced woman, there are so many little ladies at the lantern party, maybe you can meet a beauty.
I was thinking about beautiful things, and suddenly I felt a pain in my waist.
"The prince wants to enjoy the lanterns alone?" Princess Lu accentuated her tone on the word "one person".
King Lu bared his teeth, and in front of King Qi and others, he couldn't scream in pain, and suppressed his regret and said: "I suddenly feel that it's not interesting, let's go home." β
What if you don't go and be chased and killed by this tigress at the lantern festival? Then his face was lost in front of the people of the capital.
Seeing that King Lu and his wife left, the others also dispersed one after another.
Emperor Jingming, who returned to the palace, was in a terrible mood, and even angered the queen.
In the past two years, there have been a series of bad things, and they have not stopped, and he said that the queen would have nothing to do and worship the Bodhisattva, but this woman is not happy.
Well, now it's okay again!
Although he was in a bad mood, Emperor Jingming still smiled in the face of the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I will send you back to Cining Palace first." β
"If the emperor has something, he doesn't have to worry about the mourning family. Fuqing she-"
"Fuqing is fine. You go back and rest first, and my son will tell you when he has sorted things out. β
"Okay, the mourning family will go back first." The Queen Mother said and nodded slightly to the queen, "Queen, take care of the emperor and Fuqing." β
The queen bent her knees slightly: "The queen mother can rest assured." β
When the Queen Mother left, Emperor Jingming sank his face.
The queen patted Princess Fuqing's hand: "Fuqing, you can go back too." β
Princess Fuqing shook her head: "Queen Mother, today's incident is for my daughter, I know best what happened at that time, let me stay." β
She is not fragile enough to hide behind the fourteenth sister in case of trouble.
She is a princess, not a silk flower.
Thinking of the moment when the accident happened, the fourteenth princess rushed over and protected her behind her, Princess Fuqing was a little ashamed, and at this time she was unwilling to leave the fourteenth princess alone to be questioned.
The queen hesitated slightly, met her daughter's pleading eyes, and had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, you two tell us about the situation and don't miss a single detail." Emperor Jingming said.
After listening to the two princesses, Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jin.
At that time, the queen said that King Yan and his wife were good at judging cases, so he asked them to enter the palace together.
Yu Jin pondered for a while and asked, "When did Qing Dai start serving the thirteenth sister?" β
"Qing Dai followed me a few years ago, and she never made a mistake."
"And has she been abnormal lately?" Yu Jin asked again.
Princess Fuqing shook her head hesitantly: "I didn't notice anything unusual about her. Red Sleeves, you get along with Qing Dai the most, what have you discovered? β
As another personal palace maid of Princess Fuqing, and the red sleeves who went upstairs together today have already been shocked like earth, and was asked by Princess Fuqing, and said busily: "The slave maid accidentally found that Qing Dai's eyes were swollen the day before yesterday, as if she had cried, and asked her what was wrong, she said that she squinted her eyes and rubbed it indiscriminately, now think about it, there must have been something wrong with Qing Dai at that time...... It's all slaves and maids, I didn't ask clearly......"
Red Sleeves slapped himself hard.
The queen turned a deaf ear to the crisp slap and muttered: "Qingdai was personally selected by the palace to Fuqing, how can there be a problem?" β
The people who serve Princess Fuqing are all chosen by the queen, but the problem is Princess Fuqing's personal palace maid, and the huge fear almost overwhelms the queen, so she grabs Jiang's hand: "Princess Yan, who do you say wants to harm Fuqing?" β
