Chapter 152: The Three Princes

The guard's exclamation frightened the trembling father-in-law Liu, he stepped forward and pushed the guard away, and saw the scene in front of him as if he had fallen into an ice cave, unable to move, and even forgot to scream.

When the third prince received the two lives of Concubine Qin, it was already noon, the sun in early summer was not so warm on the top of people's heads, and the faint breeze blew to the heart, and the restless heart of the three princes for days finally fell.

"Prince, are you alright? People can't be resurrected after death, so please mourn! The voice of the little eunuch who had been following the three princes came from his ears, and he smiled lightly, mourning himself? What can you do if you don't mourn!

The third prince strode into Concubine Qin's palace, this is where he has been many times, but now there are few palace people in the entire palace, only the maid Bi'er is crying silently next to the coffin, and the whole palace is depressed.

The third prince walked in, his tall body blocked half of the daylight, Bi'er raised her eyes and saw the third prince coming in, her face was even more mournful, with tears on her face that had not yet been wiped off, and she bowed to the third prince Yingying.

"The slave has seen the prince, the prince please mourn!"

After speaking, he was signaled to get up, ignited the three incense sticks and handed them to the three princes, the man stepped forward to bow to the coffin three times, and then inserted the incense into the furnace, he just stared at the plain white in front of him in a daze.

"It's my incompetence, it's my incompetence as a son, that I didn't have time to save my mother and the child in her womb." The corners of the third prince's mouth squirmed, and he repeated his impotent words sadly.

Bi'er cried even more, she bowed to the third prince again and again with red and swollen eyes, and said silently: "Don't say that, the prince, what can you do with such a slave?" The slave and maid have followed the mother for so many years, and the mother is your son, you say that you let the slave and the maid follow the mother! It's the slave who is not good, and the slave and the maid don't take good care of the mother, it's all Bi'er's fault. ”

While speaking, Bi'er suddenly pushed away the three princes who were in front of her, got up and crashed into the coffin, the three princes were quick-eyed, and dragged Bi'er's small body back and held it in her arms.

Bi'er was already wet with tears, and her delicate appearance made people unconsciously think of the extremely beautiful word of weak willow Fufeng, The third prince watched the vegetarian Bi'er crying in his arms, his heart was moved, and he held Bi'er tighter in his hand.

The queen was sitting on a rattan chair in the palace at the moment, with a scroll of history in her hand, and the rough envoy who went to the dark prison with the queen in the rain that night picked up the curtain and walked in, and said to the queen with a half-salute: "Niangniang, Bi'er has been trusted by the three princes, and with the three princes returning home, she was taken away by the three princes in front of Concubine Qin." ”

The queen put down the scroll, looked at the leafy trees outside the window, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Then Concubine Qin saw that her son had fallen in love with the servant girl who betrayed her master, and she had to jump out of the coffin in anger?" Huh..."

"Niangniang, I don't know what effect these three princes have on Niangniang? The slave and maid really didn't see it. The grandmother bowed her head, not feeling inappropriate because of what she asked.

"It is naturally useful to keep the three princes, in case this prince does not succeed, then we must also have a royal bloodline in our hands, and we may not be able to use it one day!" The queen's vague answer made the grandmother nod in agreement.

Bi'er successfully ascended to the throne and became one of the concubines of the three princes, she became more and more motivated by the nourishment of love, and thought about the three princes wholeheartedly, so that the three princes' hearts were all hung on her, and even more proud than the serious three princesses.

In order to get closer to the side of the third prince, Bi'er learned from somewhere that there was a rift between the third prince and the crown prince because of Concubine Qin.

On this day, when the third prince just stepped into Bi'er's room, Bi'er was holding a white fox fur in her hand and was secretly sad, and she didn't even know that someone came in, and the third prince walked to her side and sat down, and took the white fox fur in her hand to look at it, Bi'er was startled and came back to her senses.

"The third prince, the slave and maid lost their minds, and they didn't even notice that the prince had returned. Bi'er's eyes were slightly red, obviously crying.

"Why are you crying again, but has anyone bullied you? Where did this fox fur come from, and how did it have to stare at it for so long? The third prince's eyes were full of distress, after all, he was a lovely person who knew cold and warmth, and he naturally didn't want her to shed tears.

"The prince doesn't know, when the slave maid was packing up the relics of Niangniang today, she accidentally found this fox fur, which was specially sent by His Royal Highness the Prince to Niangniang when Niangniang was in the dungeon, saying that Niangniang had a prince in her belly, and she was afraid that the cold in the dungeon would be too heavy and hurt her body."

Seeing that Bi'er's eyes were about to burst into tears again, the third prince spoke: "You said that this was sent by the crown prince to the concubine?" ”

"Yes! The prince didn't know, that day Niangniang took care of the emperor in the palace, after the emperor disappeared somehow, the prince for the prince's sake, had to take the Niangniang out of it, and had to send the Niangniang to the dungeon, but he still sent a special father-in-law to take care of the mother, but I don't know how.. The mother was killed. After Bi'er said this, tears finally fell.

Leaving Bi'er's room, the third prince ordered someone to find the father-in-law who took care of Concubine Qin that day, but someone came to report that the father-in-law had been executed by the prince in a fit of rage, but there was still a guard, so he brought the guard over.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince." The guards saluted respectfully.

"You said you found out that something happened to your mother that day?" The third prince asked.

The guard replied without hesitation: "Yes, my subordinates went in with Gonggong Liu." ”

"Tell me in detail about what you saw that day, and don't miss a single detail." The third prince found a chair to sit on.

"Yes, the subordinates never dared to hide anything, that day in the dark prison, the subordinates were ordered by the prince to take Niangniang out and send her back to the palace, but with Gonggong Liu went to the secret prison, Niangniang has not moved.

Liu Gonggong said that Niangniang had maintained a posture for a morning, and his subordinates felt that something was wrong, and he stepped forward to see if something had happened, but as soon as his subordinates' hands touched Niangniang, Niangniang changed from lying on her side to facing her subordinates. ”

The third prince closed his eyes and said loudly: "You continue to talk about Niangniang's situation at that time, how she lived in prison?" ”

"Hmm... Recently, when the subordinates entered the dark prison, they met Liu Gonggong who delivered the meal, Liu Gonggong said that Niangniang's meal had been heated twice, and his subordinates went to the dark prison with Liu Gonggong, indeed as Liu Gonggong said, the food on the low table behind Niangniang was still steaming, and a burst of fragrance wafted out of the prison.

The prison was very quiet, Niangniang was a white fox fur under her at that time, and Niangniang was also covered with a thick brocade quilt, which looked no different from the residence of ordinary mothers, everything was normal, and Niangniang did not suffer in that dark prison. ”

"Alright, you can get out." The third prince waved his hand tiredly, looked at the sleeping kapok, and pondered for a long time.

It has been seven days since the funeral of Concubine Qin was handled, and in the past seven days, the three princes have not visited the prince's mansion again.

It's the concubine Bi'er, I don't know when she has a very good relationship with a favorite concubine named Yunxiang who has just entered the prince's mansion, and the two have to see each other all day long, and they also give each other purses, which are women's gadgets.

The crown prince came to the Three Princes' Mansion several times after Concubine Qin's death, but the three princes thought that their mother was filial and untidy, and they refused for fear of staining the prince's eyes.

This night, when Bi'er and the third prince mentioned the favorite concubine in the prince's mansion, the third prince thought that it was an ordinary woman who talked a lot, but he was depressed these days, thinking that Bi'er was looking for a topic to tease himself, and Bi'er was a maid who came out of the palace, and she didn't have any acquaintances, so it was easy to have a topic with the favorite concubine, and it was normal to come back and say that it was normal to listen to him, he just listened silently.

"The prince doesn't know, she may be kicked out of the house these days, the day the prince took her back, she was injured with the wind and cold for a few days, it stands to reason that she will not pass the illness to others, the prince also thought about it before taking her back to the house, but the prince fell ill immediately, and now the princess said that she let the prince contract the wind and cold, and the prince is now lying in bed and can't protect her, presumably she will be kicked out of the prince's mansion in the near future!"

Bi'er's seemingly unintentional words became a real pillow wind, blowing into the hearts of the three princes like that, the prince has always been healthy, and he ran to his house a few days ago, why can't he even protect a concubine now? It seems that he is very sick.

Bi'er secretly observed the expression of the third prince, and smiled slightly in the shadows, she didn't want to be discarded like the concubine of the prince's mansion, who had no value and had to be discarded, and now she still needed the boat of the third prince to ask the prince for more news!

If there is no intermediary of the third prince, then she will not be able to provide more useful information to the people behind the scenes, and she will be ruthlessly killed like Yun Xiang!

Thinking that the three princes hadn't told her about the affairs of the prince's mansion for several days, she couldn't figure out what the prince was going to do next, which was not good news for her.

On the second day, as Bi'er thought, the carriage of the Three Princes' Mansion drove towards the Prince's Mansion early in the morning, although the Three Princes themselves were not in the carriage, but the gifts they brought were enough to show that the Three Princes had forgiven the Prince, and they only needed to continue to work hard for a few days, presumably the Three Princes would soon personally carry snacks to visit the Prince.

Thinking that everything should have gone smoothly, but by coincidence, the third princess ordered someone to invite the third prince, in front of Bi'er, the concubine, or the people of the third princess didn't take Bi'er to heart at all, and treated her as air at all.

The people sent by the three princesses said that the three princesses were happy, but there was an old saying in the dream that the husband and wife needed to go to the temple of Yuntai Mountain to ask for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and it only took half a month for the fetus in the womb to come into the world safely, otherwise, it would still not be able to break the curse.

Speaking of this curse, it is also strange, as if there are really ghosts and gods, the third princess is pregnant with two children, both of which were inexplicably miscarriages in the first three months, and even the imperial doctor in the palace doesn't know what's going on, and they all say that the third princess is in good health and shouldn't be in this situation.

As a result, the three princes had to find another concubine to raise, but countless women have come and gone in the house, but none of them have come out, resulting in the three princes still not having a son under their knees.
