Concubine Liang lowered her head and didn't look at the imperial concubine, the handkerchief in her hand was stirred by her for a long time, and she didn't raise her head until she was held by Concubine Rong.

Concubine Jing glanced at the imperial concubine: "What happened back then, the three of us were ashamed of our sister, and our conscience was difficult all these years; In those years, when my sister was sad, we didn't dare to be close to you for the sake of my sister, and we only thought that the first emperor would be able to avenge my sister, and then let my sister conceive a dragon fetus. It's a pity that ......" she sighed long: "Let's talk about it now, if you don't say it, it will make the imperial concubine suspicious, now our sisters really don't have to guess everything, everything is better to be simpler." ”

Concubine Rong and Concubine Liang both nodded and sighed: "Let's say, after so many years, I really have the time to say it at this time." The three of us were helpless back then, and I believe that the imperial concubine will not blame us. They stood up and bowed deeply to the imperial concubine: "Our sisters are sorry for my sister for what happened back then. ”

The imperial concubine avoided their big gifts: "Let's make it clear first, what did you do back then, back then?" Her voice trembled, and she looked at the three concubines of Liang staggering: "Since the first emperor, this palace has treated you with sincerity, what did you, what did you do to this palace back then?!" ”

Hongluan was also extremely surprised, looking at the three concubines of Liang with disbelief, could it be that they were the ones who killed the son of the imperial concubine and the young princess? Thinking of the crown princess's guilt, she shook her head lightly: "It's not them, the emperor and concubine." ”

The Empress Dowager turned her head and glared at Hongluan: "They all admit it themselves." She asked the three concubines to tell everything, and then asked the Holy Decree to seek justice for her two children.

Concubine Liang bent down: "It wasn't the three of us sisters who did what happened back then, it's just that all three of us went to your palace and found that there was a taste of saffron in the soup; But back then, we were just a little Zhaorong and talented people, where did we dare to talk nonsense without evidence? Her tears fell: "Yes, the three of us are also for ourselves, for fear that the person who wants to harm you will come to harm us if we say it." ”

The imperial concubine stared at Concubine Liang for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Impossible!" No, no, no, it must be you, do you still want to deceive this palace now? If you told the truth back then and caught the person who drugged you, why should you be afraid that she would harm you?! It's clearly a rhetorical quibble. ”

Hongluan's forehead twitched a few times, and the safflower tea at the moment did not have eyebrows, but he pulled out the safflower soup of the year, and things became more and more complicated. She didn't want to interrupt the imperial concubine, so she had to explain the public case of the year clearly before she could continue to go to the safflower tea thing. However, she believed Concubine Liang's words, otherwise Concubine Liang would never remind her today, let alone mention the safflower soup of the year, but the imperial concubine was too excited to see anything clearly.

Concubine Jing looked at the Empress Guifei and said calmly: "My sister also said that if we catch that person, our sisters don't have to worry about being killed; But the events of the year are in front of you, have you ever caught the person who harmed my sister's children? After we became mothers, we can better understand the grief of our sister back then, so our conscience is also tormented, just because we didn't dare to say a word for you back then, not because we hurt your children. As long as my sister calms down and thinks about it, she will understand. ”

The Empress Guifei looked at Concubine Jing for a long time and muttered, "It's really not you?" Then why don't you dare to tell the truth, why can you look at the children of this palace ruthlessly, and die in front of this palace one after another? Even if you don't do it, this palace won't forgive you. Her tears welled up, and when she finally spoke of her grief over the years, she realized that it had not been alleviated by all these years.

Concubine Rong sighed: "Because we originally discussed it, we said that at that time, you didn't eat so much safflower soup, maybe you can be saved." She glanced at Concubine Jing, and fear flashed in her eyes: "However, we didn't say it in the end, and after that, we were also quiet in the palace, and we never dared to expect to get more favor from the first emperor." You know why? ”

Concubine Liang's body shook a few times and then said, "The three of us set up a banquet to invite the emperor to come, and we wanted to tell the emperor everything that night; But the first emperor didn't come that night, and he came ......"

"The Empress Dowager." The emperor's voice came, with a little tiredness: "The person you waited for back then was the Empress Dowager, right?" He looked at He Hongluan: "You're fine, I'll rest assured." There were some sweat stains on his forehead, and he must have rushed from the Buddha Hall in a hurry.

The body of the imperial concubine was shocked, and when she turned around, she found that many concubines on the table did not know when they had avoided it, and there were people who admired flowers and fish, and there were people who chatted together, but no one stayed in the banquet: if the people in the palace want to live a long life, they all know the things they shouldn't know, and it's better to know less.

"Your Majesty." She whispered, and looked back at Concubine Liang who still didn't believe it: "Did you wait for the first emperor back then?" She had already guessed it in her heart.

Concubine Rong replied on her behalf: "No." As the emperor said, the three of us came to the empress dowager, and after that night, the three of us would never dare to say a word more, nor dare to take an extra step. She looked at the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, she just said to come and sit down, but there are some things that don't need to be said, so the three of us haven't told my sister about the things of the year for so many years." ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned on the spot, her hands and feet were cold and propped up on the chair so that she did not fall to the ground, and kept repeating: "It's the Empress Dowager, it's the Empress Dowager, how is this possible?" ”

Hongluan suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Concubine Rong: "Xiao Pingzi, is it the Empress Dowager?" ”

"It's not." Concubine Rong shook her head affirmatively: "He is very usual, I will give it to you without any involvement, just like Xiaoshunzi." As for what he did, I couldn't figure it out. But I believe that Xiao Pingzi will never be the one who betrays his master for money, and he has no relatives to be threatened, and this matter is also a mystery. ”

The imperial concubine suddenly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, make the decision for the children who died unjustly in this palace." ”

The emperor asked Hongluan and Concubine Jia to help the imperial concubine up: "Of course I will not let go of the person who killed my brother and sister." But everything is just our speculation, and there is no evidence whether the Empress Dowager is for us, so the Empress Dowager has to wait patiently. ”

The imperial concubine was speechless for a long time, and after a long while, she said softly: "I've been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting a few more days; It's all up to the emperor to decide, and the palace and the palace go back first. "She just wants to shed a good tear for her dead sons and daughters now.

Chapter 871 has a heart

Hongluan wanted to send the imperial concubine away, but was gently pushed away by the imperial concubine: "Who is your safflower tea, check it carefully, maybe the revenge of the children of the palace will be avenged as soon as possible." This palace, now I just want to think about it alone, go back and chant for the children of this palace, I hope they will not complain about my mother, I actually let them die unjustly for so long without knowing it. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't look at anyone again, and walked away holding the hand of the palace people; She was not very old, but she walked like an old man in her sixties and seventies.

Retracting his gaze, Hongluan looked at the emperor: "The imperial concubine blames you for not making decisions for her, and wants her to wait any longer." ”

The emperor lowered his head: "The person she wants to blame is not me but the first emperor, but the first emperor is gone, and she can only blame me." The Empress Dowager, the first emperor made her feel wronged because of this, and in the end, she was named the imperial concubine because of shame, right? She endured it for many years before she learned the truth of the year, of course she didn't want to endure it anymore, and it was extremely painful to endure it for one more day, so it was normal to be weird. I will not be condemned for this, don't worry. ”

Hongluan nodded lightly and held the tea in front of the emperor: "This is safflower tea, because there is a very strong aroma and extremely long flowers and plants, so the aroma of safflower will not be noticed." That is, the good concubines can notice it, which can be regarded as a blessing for concubines and children. ”

The emperor nodded: "Fortunately, Concubine Youliang is here." He picked up the tea and put it down, glanced at Concubine Jia, did not ask her words, but said softly: "The Empress Dowager invited me to discuss a major matter, and she told me two things, one of which is that you must not be crowned queen, and you must not hand over the world to the prince you are from." ”

Hongluan hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The concubine has never had such a delusional thought, please let the emperor know." But she was thinking in her heart, could it be that the Empress Dowager wanted to harm the child in her womb because of this?

The emperor snorted: "Of course, who is the queen is based on my intentions, and the empress dowager thinks too much." And the matter of the safflower soup was also mentioned by the Empress Dowager to me, she did not say whether the safflower soup was given to the Empress Dowager by her, but said that the death of the princess from the Empress Dowager was very strange, but she was busy taking care of the affairs of my mother and the concubine, so she did not let people investigate it carefully. ”

"Didn't the daughter of the Empress Dowager kill her?" Hongluan thought about it and nodded after saying it: "Also, as long as the Empress Dowager will not give birth to a son, a daughter is certainly not worth the Empress Dowager's trouble." She sat down and sighed: "The imperial concubine left angrily without listening to the emperor, but she didn't know that her daughter was killed by others." ”

The emperor took the tea cup in his hand and looked at Concubine Jia: "This tea is made by the concubine herself, and the flowers used must be taken care of by someone, right?" How is it mixed with safflower, do you know the concubine? ”

Concubine Jia shook her head: "This matter is indeed my fault, but Honghua is by no means the concubine's doing." ”

The emperor put the tea down: "I didn't say that you did it, but I just want to ask, have you caught all the people who make the flower tea?" This matter must be related to them, if they get away with it or find a short-term view, it will not be clear today. ”

Concubine Jia's face changed greatly, when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps, she looked back and saw Prince Ding with a pale face, her heart sank suddenly, and she felt that something was wrong.

Prince Ding threw himself on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, all the palace people who made the flower tea have committed suicide by hanging themselves." ”

The emperor's hand was clasped on the table and slammed: "Sure enough." His gaze turned on King Ding and Concubine Jia: "Today's matter must be investigated to the end, and we must not wronged a good person and let the person who harmed my descendants laugh in his heart, nor can he let go of anyone who does evil." ”

Hongluan didn't expect that Concubine Jia and she were still a step late, and there was a trace of fear in her heart: This matter was also done by the person who was hidden in the shadows? Then how careful she will have to be in the future to avoid the evil hand of that person - as long as a small carelessness may prevent the child from coming into the world.

Even if the child is born peacefully, but the person who is hidden in the shadows is not found, the child is still in danger of dying every day. Her hand slowly tightened in her sleeve, and she looked at the emperor and saluted slightly: "At this time, the Empress Dowager summoned the emperor over, even if this matter has nothing to do with the Buddha Hall, the Empress Dowager must know something." She paused: "It is really disrespectful that there are people who disturb the peace of the Queen Mother in the Buddha Hall. ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded: "In the future, no one is allowed to ask for peace in the Buddha Hall, and I will ask Manager Liu to arrange proper people to serve the Empress Dowager, so that no one will disturb her old man's house." After speaking, he got up and picked up Hongluan: "This matter still needs to be investigated in detail, I will accompany you back to the palace to rest first, you won't find anything for a while." ”

When he turned around, he said to Concubine Jia and Prince Ding: "Concubine Jia is also tired, go back to the palace and rest, it's better to recuperate in the palace for a few more days if you have nothing to do." Prince Ding also went back to the palace, if there is nothing to do, don't go into the palace or go out of the palace to hang out, and it is serious to read more books in the palace. He put Concubine Jia and Prince Ding under house arrest.

Concubine Jia's face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, today's events really have nothing to do with the concubine and Prince Ding." "To put her under house arrest is, of course, to be suspicious of her.

The emperor looked back at her and Prince Ding: "Today's affairs, the concubine always has the fault of poor discipline, and before it is investigated, the concubine is still in the palace to recuperate." As for the fifth brother, it is the time for self-cultivation and self-cultivation, so what's wrong with reading more books in the house; The matter will soon come to light, the fifth brother and the concubine don't have to worry too much, the clean ones will clean themselves. ”

King Ding kowtowed: "The younger brother obeys the order." He didn't say much, but his face grew paler. It is true that safflower tea was not done by him and Concubine Jia, but those who are clear may not be able to clear themselves; His gaze collided with Concubine Jia's and flickered.

Concubine Jia hesitated and shook her head, no longer spoke, Concubine Liang and others sent the emperor and Hongluan away, and when she turned back, there was already Chief Manager Liu standing next to King Ding, she didn't have time to say a word to her son, so she looked at Chief Manager Liu with a smile on his face and sent Prince Ding away.

Concubine Rong comforted Concubine Jia: "It doesn't matter, after finding out, I will return my sister's innocence." The three of us all believe that this matter was not done by my sister, and it is not unreasonable for the emperor to do this, but in the end, it is understandable that the emperor's heir is more solemn. ”

"My sister is right." Concubine Jia sighed: "It's really a flying disaster, and it's inevitable that there will always be some discomfort in my heart." Alas, it's all this flower tea that harms people, and I know that I shouldn't have listened to the words of the emperor and concubine today, and I used homemade flower tea today. Fortunately, Concubine Liang let her sister escape, and her sister can't thank her now. Speaking of which, Concubine Chun's understanding of flowers and plants is also taught by her sisters, but she is very talented, she originally said that she wanted to learn the nature of flowers and plants, I thought she was just joking, I didn't expect to be so heartfelt. ”
