Hu Shanxiang put down his sleeves and burst into tears: "...... Not long after the peach blossom ringworm started, the concubine heard a rumor from the palace that there were people living in Kunning Palace who should not live, and if they couldn't suppress the unjust souls in the palace, they would be eaten by it, so that they would fall ill and fall into disaster...... So the concubine thought, instead of letting the eldest princess suffer with the concubine, it is better to give up the position of the middle palace and keep our mother and daughter safe. โ
Hearing this reason, the Queen Mother couldn't cry or laugh, "Are you suspicious that the emperor made an excuse to make a move in order to fulfill his wish?" It's really confused, no matter how much the emperor loves the imperial concubine, he won't hurt the heirs for her, behind this, I don't know what is famous, as the queen, I don't want to find out, but I ran to the mourning family to cry, although I care about it, but the queen, you should also think about it, what are the intentions of the people who spread these words? โ
"But the queen mother, the concubines are really worried that if this continues, it will even endanger the prince in the womb! If it is not the emperor as the queen mother said, is it the one in Changning Palace? No matter what, the concubines felt that only by giving up the position of the middle palace could they be done once and for all. โ
The Queen Mother thought for a while, "What you said is not unreasonable, it stands to reason that with the temperament of the imperial concubine, she should not do such a thing, but now she is pregnant with the prince like you, maybe she will use some means for the sake of that non-part, the mourning family has never believed it, if there is no her behind her, the emperor will think about the change of ownership of the middle palace." For so many years, you have been humble and cautious, all the people in the six palaces are praised, and the emperor also sees it in his eyes. โ
Walking out of Cining Palace, the tears in Hu Shanxiang's eyes had been exhausted, and there was some coldness in her eyes.
Back in Kunning Palace, Zhihe was still a little worried, "Queen Mother, do you think the Queen Mother will be suspicious?" After all, the imperial concubine grew up in front of her, although the queen mother is very protective of you on weekdays, but such a thing, the slave maid always feels that the queen mother may not believe that the imperial concubine did it, and the slave maid just looked at the queen mother's expression, as if she was not very happy. โ
Hu Shanxiang said indifferently: "The palace didn't expect the queen mother to believe it, so the palace just said a suspicion from beginning to end." Again, this palace is just a few words, this peach blossom ringworm is real, this palace knows that the queen mother will be suspicious, but if the queen mother thinks of it, the palace would rather make such a faint move, and can't bear to attack the prince in the womb of the imperial concubine, and will definitely understand the pain of the palace and treat the palace more kindly. โ
She sighed, "This palace uses such a method of retreating as advance, and it is just that if the queen mother can't be more disgusted with the imperial concubine, she can also take care of the palace more." After all, no matter how hard the palace tries, it can't get the emperor's favor, these years, if it weren't for the blessing of the queen mother, where could the palace get to this point! Since the providence of heaven made Bengong pregnant with a prince, then for the sake of this child, Bengong had to fight. โ
Ruolian asked puzzledly, "Then why doesn't the queen find a stubble, or think of a way to let the imperial concubine have a miscarriage, in that case, wouldn't it be more worry-free once and for all?" โ
Hu Shanxiang's eyes were fierce, "You must not have such thoughts, let alone do anything behind the back of this palace, otherwise, if something happens to the imperial concubine, this palace will not spare you first." The palace doesn't want the imperial concubine's child to have an accident, after all, the emperor's heirs are thin, no matter which one it is, they can't afford to lose, with this method, it's just to think about stumbling over the imperial concubine, and go to the mother's pity for her suffering from eye disease, buy some time for the palace, and wait for the prince in the belly of the palace to give birth, and then set up the prince. โ
Ruolian was a little unimpressed, but she didn't dare to disobey the queen's order, so she had to promise: "Queen Mother, you are really merciful, you have come to this point, and you still want to protect the children of the imperial concubine." However, according to what the slave maid saw, the Queen Mother had long been displeased with the imperial concubine, and you were a little worried about doing this. โ
The corners of Hu Shanxiang's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of mockery, "Don't like it? You look too shallow, don't you like the queen mother to just let the imperial concubine copy the scriptures? also gave her a copy of the "Dizang Sutra" treasured by the queen mother, which is the most conducive to the soothing and nourishing scriptures during pregnancy, and it is a scripture that the imperial concubine has read since she was a child. Even now that she has an eye disease, with her intelligence, I'm afraid she can also copy her thoughts. โ
Zhihe and Ruolian asked in confusion, "The slave is stupid, I still think that this is the queen mother's stubble for the child in your womb, looking for an opportunity to find the stubble of the imperial concubine, how can I listen to you, it seems to be protecting the imperial concubine?" โ
Hu Shanxiang closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his expression couldn't see half of the sadness and joy, but Zhihe, who was very familiar with her, still heard a trace of coolness, "How can it be so easy to fade after many years of love?" The queen mother is obsessed, sticks to tradition, and attaches the most importance to the concubine, her dislike of the imperial concubine is just because she is afraid of moving the country, so she does not want the emperor to favor the concubine and destroy his wife, not because of selfishness. In the heart of the queen mother, nothing is more important than righteousness and orthodoxy, if this palace does not occupy this position, how can she be so blessed by this palace! โ
"The queen mother doesn't want Zhonggong Yi to take the initiative to shake the country's capital, it's not that she really hates the imperial concubine, otherwise, do you think that the imperial concubine can be thrilled and safe from repeated births, just because she is careful? Among these six houses, if the queen mother really wants to deal with someone, how can she be allowed to live so freely? โ
"The palace knows that the queen mother is in her heart, and she still cares about the imperial concubine, this time she borrowed the illness suffered from by the eldest princess, adding fuel to the fire, and what she asked for was just the queen mother's heart, so that she could have more pity for the palace and less care for the imperial concubine. In this way, even if the palace still gave birth to a princess this time, and the imperial concubine gave birth to a prince, she would not be easily made a prince by the emperor. Although the imperial physician said that Bengong was also a prince, but Bengong was really not at ease, and it was not that he had missed the happy pulse before. Hongu can't bet on that just in case. โ
Ruolian said: "The queen can't bear to attack the prince, so why not think of a way to make the imperial concubine's eye disease not cure, in that case, even if there is a case, the crown prince will be under your name, after all, in this dynasty, where is there a reason to let an invisible person be the queen." โ
Hu Shanxiang's heart turned back and forth, and he sighed in the end, "That's it, this palace can't be so ruthless, so be it, each according to the destiny of heaven." โ

In Changning Palace, Sun Qingyang's long hair was pulled up, combed into a flying bun, wearing a cherry-red jadeite gilt filigree phoenix swaying, hanging down on both sides of the long Yingluo to the shoulders, red jade dripping bead earrings, a silver-red palace dress embroidered with peonies, and the cuffs were embroidered with jade-colored auspicious clouds with silver threads, like a delicate peach blossom, shaking and shuffling in every move.
A pair of beautiful eyes still look forward to Shenfei, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that she is blind at all.
In order to prevent her eyes from becoming dull due to blindness, she would burn her eyes, move her eyes, and turn her eyes every day, and even asked the palace maids to surround her, judging who was making a sound by a little movement, and trying to "see" like ordinary people instead of judging their position by hearing.
Hearing Mama Su talk about the fact that the queen was quite troubled these days because of peach blossom ringworm and went to Cining Palace at night, the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, "This palace thought that the queen would be more peaceful because of the peach blossom ringworm, but I never thought that she would talk about this and win sympathy for herself by retreating." Anyway, the queen mother, don't use this recipe, there is a queen mother to disturb her, she can't be quiet, she can't care about the palace here. โ
Yan Zhi didn't understand and asked: "The slave knows that the peach blossom ringworm born to the queen mother and the eldest princess is just a kind of incense powder mixed by Aunt Zhuang Jing, which makes people allergic, although it affects the view, it is not a big problem." But how did you know that the queen mother was retreating and advancing and contacted you about this? Wouldn't it be other people in the palace with ulterior motives who used this matter to talk about things and deliberately frame the imperial concubine? Also, how did the Queen Mother know that this matter has nothing to do with you, and she didn't even come to ask you, slaves and maids, can you hear that those slaves who chew their tongues, openly and secretly, all say that they are instructed by our Changning Palace. โ
The Queen Mother asked people to find out what the rumors were caused by, and the results were checked, and the people who heard it at first said that they were talking about it when they heard the people in Changning Palace, although they asked the people in Changning Palace, they were all ignorant, but the Queen Mother never interrogated Sun Qingyang about this matter, which still made them unable to guess.
In particular, the queen mother said to the queen that day, she didn't believe that the imperial concubine didn't pry the emperor behind her back, in this case, why didn't she ask the imperial concubine?
Yan Zhi was puzzled.
Sun Qingyang's face showed a look of relief, "The queen mother's words are just Queen An's heart, the queen mother controls the six palaces, and there are four concubines below to help take care of the housework, if it is really someone else who talks about this, how can Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu allow such words to reach the queen's ears?" Therefore, the palace concluded that it was the queen mother who retreated, and not only the palace knew, but the queen mother also knew, and the queen also knew that the queen mother guessed that she was talking to herself, and she did so, just to make the queen mother pity her, and she was forced to do so, and still would not poison the palace, but use such a trick that can be seen through with a little care. โ
"It's just that Bengong thought that the queen mother really hated Changning Palace, so that Bengong understood that the queen mother was still the same as before, although for the sake of righteousness and orthodoxy, the country was suppressed in the palace, but in fact, in my heart, I thought about the palace and believed in the palace."
"As soon as this incident comes out, of course the queen mother will punish the palace, but that punishment, I'm afraid, is just raised high and gently fallen. As long as the queen mother does not be ruthless to the palace, no one in the harem will dare to poison the palace, and when the medicine on the mother's side is complete, the palace will be able to give birth to the prince safely. โ
