Chapter 276: Concubine Chun
The emperor glanced at the second prince and the third prince, and a trace of hesitation seemed to flash in his eyes, but in the end he still said coldly: "No! ”
The queen had no choice but to let the two princes sit down on the chairs first, and then let someone bring them up.
After the queen's people brought people up, the second prince and the third prince looked at the people who were kneeling in the hall in embarrassment by two stout maids, and then couldn't help but pounce and shouted: "Mother! ”
Yes, it was the mother concubine of the second prince and the third prince who was escorted up, Concubine Chun!
Her face is a little haggard at the moment, and the clothes on her body seem to have not changed for a long time, and the most frightening thing is her already pregnant belly!
Concubine Chun's eyes also showed joy when she saw the second prince and the third prince, but the second prince and the third prince were very heartbroken when they saw her like this, and the young third prince had already cried.
The two stout maids holding Concubine Chun wanted to forcefully press Concubine Chun to kneel on the ground, but when the second prince saw it, he immediately pushed the two maids away with a fierce expression: "Go away!" I don't care about you! Then he looked at the queen with a cold expression, "Queen! "He doesn't even call her the queen mother!" Dare to ask the queen, what crime did my mother commit? To make you so rude! You know, my mother is still pregnant! If you treat my mother like this, aren't you afraid of hurting the prince in your belly! ”
However, the second prince, who was only ten years old, burst out like an emperor at this moment, shocking everyone present.
The queen, who was a little stunned by the second prince's questioning, came back to her senses, sighed, and said: "Second prince, this palace knows that you feel sorry for your mother, but the crime committed by your mother this time is unforgivable...... You and the three princes sit on the side first, and look down to know if the palace is deliberately treating your mother and concubine. As he spoke, he waved his hand to bring the second and third princes aside.
When the second prince heard the "unforgivable crime" said by the queen, he was really stunned, and then he didn't want to believe it. He looked at the emperor, but saw that the emperor looked at Concubine Chun with an indifferent face, and that indifference was mixed with various complex emotions such as anger, disappointment, and heartache......
The second prince couldn't understand it, but he had a bad feeling in his heart, he felt that this time, he was afraid that his mother would not escape!
After the two princes sat down again, the queen did not rush to ask Concubine Chun first, but asked someone to bring one person up, this time the person brought up was a man, the man was dressed as a guard, and the moment he stepped into the Fengyi Hall and saw Concubine Chun, the man's eyes burst out with joy, worry, distress, and even admiration!
After seeing the man and the emotions in the man's eyes, the second prince's face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly looked at the emperor, and sure enough, the emperor saw the man and the man's gaze at Concubine Chun, and his eyes were full of rage!
The second prince understood in an instant what his mother, Concubine Chun, would face next. His right hand on the armrest unconsciously clenched into a fist, because the force was too tight, and the blood on his hand receded, revealing green tendons.
When the man also knelt down, the queen began to interrogate, and the first thing she asked was the man: "What is your name?" ”
The man replied, "Good morning, slave." ”
That's a good name.
The queen continued to ask, "What is your relationship with Concubine Chun?" ”
Fang Chenan seemed to look at Concubine Chun with some hesitation, then buried his head on the ground and said, "Slave, slave and Concubine Chun have known each other since childhood...... which is the relationship between childhood sweethearts!"
The anger in the emperor's eyes increased a little, and the second prince's face turned pale.
The queen asked Concubine Chun again: "Concubine Chun, is what he said correct?" ”
The expression on Concubine Chun's face was very calm, as if she didn't care at all about the situation she was in, and she said softly, "Yes." Just one word, and then there are no other superfluous words.
After getting Concubine Chun's answer, the queen's eyes flickered, and then continued to ask: "So, that is, you admit that you have a personal affair between you......"
A "snap" interrupted the queen's questioning, and everyone followed the sound and saw that the emperor had a gloomy face, and the teacup he was originally holding in his hand had been reduced to pieces at the moment, and the tea mixed with blood flowed all over the emperor's hands, apparently caused by the emperor crushing the teacup with his bare hands.
When the queen saw this, she immediately shouted in panic: "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor!" While shouting, he rushed to the emperor's side, covering the injured part of the emperor's hand with his handkerchief.
"No need." The emperor took the queen's handkerchief, wrapped his injured hand with his hand, and said, "You continue to interrogate." ”
"But, Your Majesty, your hand is ......" The queen was a little uneasy, and wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come over first.
"I'll let you continue the interrogation!" The emperor looked at the queen with gloomy eyes and said coldly.
The emperor's appearance made the queen feel very frightened, she pressed her beating heart, took a deep breath, and said, "The concubine obeys the order." Then he stood up and walked back to the place where he had been interrogated.
But before the queen could open her mouth to interrogate again, the concubine straightened her waist, raised her head, and looked straight at the emperor with her eyes, her eyes were clear, and she said, "Concubine, don't recognize it!" She didn't admit what the queen said!
The queen said, "But someone has seen that you two have met in private!" And still in your palace! ”
Concubine Chun moved her gaze to her and said, "The concubine rested early that day, and I don't know why Lord Fang appeared in the concubine's palace!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Chen'an on the side looked at Concubine Chun as if he was very surprised, and said, "Didn't you make an appointment with me, so I went?" ”
Concubine Chun looked at him, smiled coldly, and said, "Why did I ask you out?" Such a heinous crime, how dare I ask you to meet in my palace? "Indeed, this is a big suspicion, with Concubine Chun's cautious temperament, even if she really has a personal relationship with that Fang Chen'an, she will not stupidly invite people to meet in her palace, and she also arrested someone on the spot!
When the emperor heard this, he was obviously a little puzzled, and the anger in his eyes dissipated a little because of this.
When the second prince heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he thought that as long as he bit this point and broke through from this point, he could break this game.
However, who knows, that Fang Chen'an began to say that he and Concubine Chun had a private meeting for a long time, and the two had already expressed their intentions to each other, at this moment he saw that Concubine Chun seemed to want to clear the two of them, and he was angry in his heart, so he told all the "truth", and even said in vain that the child in Concubine Chun's belly was his!
"You talk nonsense!" Hearing this, the second prince finally couldn't sit still and stood up.
