Chapter 114: Prevention
Lei Zhen didn't say that she wanted the prince's life.
She just said that the queen instructed Xin Wei to murder the prince, and she was caught at such a time.
Just looking at the Queen Mother's expression, it seemed that she was not dying, and for a while, she didn't dare to speak rashly.
"How?" The Queen Mother looked at her carefully with empty eyes, and her tone was not good: "Do you only dare to say but not do?" ”
"The slave maid thinks that as long as the queen has such thoughts, the emperor will not be able to tolerate her." Lei Zhen whispered, "I don't really want to hurt the Dragonborn......"
"Humph, stupid!" The Queen Mother said unhappily: "If you just have such a mind, but you can't do it, how can you cause the emperor's resentment?" If that child is still alive in the belly of Concubine Ying, and the emperor is not allowed to see the bloody scene, and there is no pain of losing a child, how can the emperor leave his love for the queen? How could Concubine Ying devote all her mind to revenge and seek justice from the queen? You made a move, but you hit the queen painlessly, and when the queen turned over and fought back, do you have the ability to continue? ”
Lei Zhen kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "It's a slave and a maid who is stupid, thank you for mentioning it to the Queen Mother." That being the case, the child of the concubine...... It had to be sacrificed. Fortunately, in the emperor's harem, there are so many young and beautiful concubines, and many princes will definitely be born for the emperor. And this child can be regarded as a merit for the queen mother to rectify the harem discipline and clean up the wives and poisonous women around him for the emperor. It is bound to reach Bliss early. ”
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and didn't make a sound for a long time.
Lei Zhen's heart has always been uneasy, and she doesn't know if the Queen Mother will leave her life.
After a long time, the Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, and felt that the sunlight was too dazzling, so she covered her eyes with her hands. "The mourning family has to do this, and this is also his fate. What's more, if she hasn't been born yet, who can say that Concubine Ying's pregnancy must be a prince? ”
"What the Queen Mother said is very true. If Concubine Ying's pregnancy is just a princess, the little princess can share the worries of the Queen Mother before she is born, which is really blessed. Lei Zhen hated the flattering way she looked now, but if she didn't, she probably wouldn't survive. Thinking of this, she was not afraid. "Please also ask the Queen Mother to fulfill the clumsiness, so that the slaves and maids can share their worries for the Queen Mother."
"Okay." The Queen Mother sighed: "Now that you are the only one by your side, you are the only one around." If you do this well, the mourners will fulfill your wishes. ”
"Thank you Queen Mother for your grace." If Lei Zhen was pardoned, the big stone in her heart seemed to be half carried away.
"Why don't you ask the mourning family what wish you plan to fulfill?" The Queen Mother continued with her with great interest.
"Being able to serve the Queen Mother well and be loyal to the Queen Mother is the greatest wish of the slave." Where does Lei Zhen dare to mention anything else, it's good to be alive.
"Hmph." The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile: "What, when did your wish change?" Didn't you originally want to serve by the emperor's side? ”
"Queen Mother......" Lei Zhen's heart grunted, and she hurriedly fell on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Slaves and maids dare not have such thoughts, slaves and maids are slaves and maids of the Queen Mother, and serving the Queen Mother well is what slaves and maids must win." ”
"Come on." The Queen Mother sneered: "You can't see the resentment in your heart when you mourn? You have long liked the emperor, when the mourning family was still the concubine, every time the emperor came to the palace to say goodbye, you greeted him happily. Even if it's hot with a shaved head, you don't care. This time, it is said that it is for the good of mourning the family, why don't you want to lose your life in front of the emperor, or lose your future. You will tell the truth to the emperor like that......"
Lei Zhen raised her head tremblingly and met the Queen Mother's sharp gaze: "The slave and maid can't hide anything from the Queen Mother, but if you tell the truth to the emperor, the slave and the maid really want the emperor to try to save the Queen Mother." If there is no queen mother, where will the slave and maid come from? ”
There was silence for a long time, and the Queen Mother kept staring at Lei Zhen's eyes with good eyes. It took a long time for her to sigh: "That's it, you finally told the truth." If there is no mourner, your life is nothing more than death. Lei Zhen, you have served the mourning family for many years, and the mourning family has not planned for you. If you really do this well, the mourning family will definitely fulfill your wishes. In fact, over the years, there have been many women sent by the mourning family to Chen's side, except for Concubine Ying, none of them have the opportunity to conceive his child. Do you know why? ”
Lei Zhen seemed to understand, but she couldn't fully explain it. "Please also ask the Queen Mother to give advice."
"The emperor's heart disease is that the mourning family gave his sweetheart to death. Therefore, no matter who the mourning family sends, the emperor will feel that it is a kind of compensation, and it is a flattery for the mourning family to put down their bodies. He resents the mourning family, and naturally hates these women. Therefore, the mourning family sent you like this, which can only harm you. But if you and the mourning family turn their faces, but get the emperor's attention and win your own future, it will be different. The Queen Mother pinched her jaw and pressed slightly: "You understand?" ”
There was a feeling of sudden realization, Lei Zhen's heart seemed to be illuminated by a light, and her whole eyes lit up. "Slave gets it!"
"Very good." The Queen Mother was relieved at this time, and added a touch of tenderness to her smile: "It's good that you can understand the painstaking efforts of the mourning family." ”
"The queen mother is so good to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will repay each other with this life." Lei Zhen suddenly felt that her wish would definitely come true. The dream she had been looking forward to for all these years was about to come true.
The summer night wind quieted the palace until dawn, when cicadas and birds woke up the sleeping people in their own unique way.
Hearing that the emperor was coming to Fengling Palace, Cen Muning deliberately let Bingling smoke spices to sleep in the inner room. A man fell into a deep sleep.
Zhuang Chenyuan still wanted to drink a cup of tea she cooked, but when she didn't come, she was asleep.
"Why is the queen still sleeping at this time?" Zhuang Chenchen asked Bingling suspiciously.
Bingling saluted the emperor worriedly, and then replied: "Your Majesty, my mother didn't sleep well last night. The concubines came early in the morning, and she rested again. ”
"Why didn't you sleep well?" Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help but wonder.
"It's not yesterday, Concubine Ying and Xinmei had a good argument in front of Niangniang, which made Niangniang feel uneasy." Qingli came in with hot tea, and his voice was a little loud. "Master, the queen is simpler, and it's the first time to take care of things in the palace. If so many concubines are favored, they will come to show off in front of the queen, and let the mother not live! ”
"You dare to say that." Cen Mooning rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up with a frown. "When the emperor comes, he won't wake up the palace, he will only chew his tongue here. There are more and more rules. ”
She got up with Bingling's hand and saluted Zhuang Chen: "The concubine is out of order, please forgive the emperor." ”
"That's it." Zhuang Yanchen saw that she was tired and haggard, so he said gently: "They like to make trouble, if you don't listen." Why bother with yourself? ”
Cen Mu condensed the broken hair in his ears, and looked at him with some melancholy: "When Xin Wei was in the palace, she had been serving very well by the concubine's side, and a few days ago, the queen mother was sick, she went to serve the sick, and was stopped outside the Fengluan Palace by the concubine, which is only called rough work." Although she is not liked by the emperor, after all, she is a person carefully trained by the queen mother's family, and the concubine wants to give her a name. In the end, she is a grateful person, and from time to time she comes to the concubine to say goodbye, talk to the concubine, and serve diligently. Unexpectedly, this made the queen mother unhappy. The concubine was sent to the palace by the queen mother, and there was some misunderstanding between the two, and the concubine also wanted to persuade one or two. After all, Concubine Ying is pregnant, and it's not good to be depressed all the time. ”
"I just want you to use your wrist to touch the harem, so I didn't let you be a peacemaker." Zhuang Chenchen pinched the tip of her nose: "You bother for them, if they are favored, can they still remember your good?" ”
"Huh." Cen Muning couldn't help laughing.
"Laughing at what?" Zhuang Chenchen pinched her cheek again.
"Your Majesty, this is telling the truth." Cen Mooning took his hand and walked to the soft couch and sat down together. "It doesn't matter if they don't remember the good of their concubines, as long as they can serve the king and serve the queen mother wholeheartedly, it will be a blessing for the concubines."
"Hmph." Zhuang Chenchen grabbed her shoulders and looked at her with a provocative look: "This is not like what you said. ”
"What should the concubine say?" Cen Mu looked at his eyes puzzled.
"Shouldn't you advise me to stay away from adulterous concubines?" Zhuang Chenchen frowned slightly, unable to see through what was hidden in this woman's eyes.
"The emperor has never been a mediocre monarch who is obsessed with beauty. Everything you do, you have to do it for a reason. If the concubine doesn't know anything about you, wouldn't she be your queen? Cen Muning was also exploring the secrets in his eyes.
Although he sat so intimately, although he looked at her with a little tenderness, what was he thinking? She couldn't see through it.
Zhuang Chenchen didn't speak, just hugged her in his arms and gently rubbed her somewhat messy hair.
Cen Muning is like a cat who hasn't seen her owner for several days, docile and intimate, but she is also a bird.
"Your Majesty, can Concubine Ying's fetus be handed over to the Queen Mother to take care of herself?" Cen Mooning suddenly spoke.
"Why?" Zhuang Chenchen asked puzzled. "Isn't the queen mother's body still well? How can you have the heart to take care of Concubine Ying? ”
"Xinmei is now close to the concubine, and she is not on good terms with the concubine. If anything goes wrong in Concubine Ying's dragon fetus, and Xinmei is affected, the ultimate blame will fall on the concubine. Cen Muning seemed to be an unpredictable prophet, and deliberately said such a thing. She just wants Zhuang Chenchen to have a bottom in her heart.
When the East Window incident happened, he would use this set of rhetoric to excuse himself.
"No, it won't." Zhuang Chenchen squeezed her hand: "I believe in you." If you don't want Concubine Yingfei to be pregnant, a dose of safflower will do, and there is no need for such trouble. ”
"......" Cen Mu froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer this. In the end, he didn't care about that child, or in his heart, she was so neat and ruthless!
"I'm hungry, can I have lunch with me?" Zhuang Yanchen looked at her unkempt hair and said lightly: "The queen's appearance today is really beautiful. ”
