177 Hatred of children
The concubines retreated bustlingly, and when they arrived outside the door, they left in groups, and a few people sincerely congratulated the concubines, all with disdain on their faces.
Lin Zhaoyi pulled Sun Xiurong and said: "You see that the Queen Mother is so diligent, she must be afraid that the queen mother will be embarrassed, and there will be excitement in the future, the lady concubine is also powerful, she is a son all her life, we are afraid that there is no hope, so let's have fun with them."
Sun Xiurong motioned for her to be quiet, looked around and said, "If it is really the queen mother who killed the Zhao family, the queen mother is such a ruthless person, I am afraid that no one can afford to provoke her." ”
Lin Zhaoyi felt a chill on his back: "I heard that it was a sharp thing that directly pierced the throat, and the apse of the Antai Hall was full of blood, and the queen would be too ruthless if she did it herself, but the time when the queen left yesterday was so short, but that slut didn't come back." ”
The two looked at each other, could it be Wang Jieyu?
Lin Zhaoyi sneered: "But that woman, even ants don't dare to step on it." ”
And early in the morning, Wang took care of his son to wash up and have breakfast as usual, and sent the sleepy-eyed person to the study in the morning, so that his son could study hard and learn the right way, even if he did not have a big career in the future, he would not be disliked by the emperor, be a prince or something, and be safe and stable for a lifetime, this is Wang's wish. In addition to not wanting anyone to take away her son, she has no extravagant hopes for any prince or emperor, after all, she understands very well that her son is not the emperor's blood.
But she was busy for a long time, and she didn't see Xiangwei's figure, she thought that Xiangwei was uncomfortable and shouldn't be on duty today, and asked the palace maid below to know that there was no one in the morning, Wang Jieyu felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't look for it with great fanfare, and now everyone was very cautious about what happened last night, how could she push herself out.
Seeing that the palace people were going to Anle Palace to send congratulatory gifts, the Wang family had to be left behind, and if they couldn't find Xiangwei, they could only go by themselves, but before they were about to go out, Xiangwei came back.
"Where have you been?" Wang was relieved and suspicious at the same time, dragged Xiangwei to the inner hall, and asked fiercely, "Didn't I tell you not to run around?" ”
Xiangwei trembled and said: "Master, the slave maid went to get the paint for painting for His Highness, have you forgotten, His Highness said that he would use it today, and the slave and maid took it and sent it directly to the study." ”
Wang really forgot, and let go of his hand for a while, although Xiangwei didn't know a lot of things, but she also knew a lot of things, Wang's strength alone was not enough to do everything before, there must be someone to help, but if it could, she would rather Xiangwei not exist.
"Don't go out if you have nothing to do, if there's something to send someone else to do, you just stay in the house these days." Wang calmed down and said coldly, "For the sake of you and me, don't let someone pour disaster on your head." ”
Xiangwei agreed, but the murderous aura in Jieyu's eyes almost scared her liver and gallbladder, although it was not the first time she had seen such anger on her, but this time, it was aimed at her.
"Master, where are you going now?" Xiangwei asked tremblingly.
"I always have to go to Hexi Lady Niangniang, and I have to live in this palace for the rest of my life." Wang Jieyu cut her hair and clothes, told Xiangwei again not to run around, and left with the others. And Wang Jieyu, who walked out of the Begonia Palace, is the one who is weak and timid on weekdays, except for Xiangwei, the other palace maids and eunuchs in the Begonia Palace, and rarely see her truest side.
Xiangwei squatted down slowly against the wall, the palace was deserted, after the door was closed, the light dimmed, she suddenly felt a thrill in her heart, stood up and looked around again, she wanted to find out, where was the dress that the master wore to attend the Chongyang Night Banquet last night.
Let's say that after the visit to Anle Palace was dispersed, Min'er was going to send the Queen Mother back, but the Queen Mother said that everyone didn't sleep well last night, and they were resting. reassured Min'er a few words for the child's affairs, after all, the queen did not kick out the child by Huiyi, and the queen did not have to covet the concubine.
Naturally, Min'er did not delay, after separating from her mother-in-law, she enjoyed the autumn colors along the lake along the Taiye Pond, and soon Qingya came to tell her that Wang Jieyu had also gone to visit Concubine Shu.
"Are you okay in the Begonia Palace?" Min'er asked.
"Look at everything is too peaceful, it's just that Xiangwei, the palace maid who was originally with Concubine Shu, didn't see her by her side." Qingya said as she lowered her voice and said, "Niangniang, why don't you arrest Wang Jieyu, our people have all seen her kill the Zhao family with their own eyes." ”
Min'er said: "Rush to catch it all of a sudden, dare to know what is going to happen, catch one accurately?" I don't have to make people think too much about what I did, step by step, it will take two or three days to say the least, and then see what is going on in the Begonia Palace, I also have to think about it, how to settle the eldest prince after that, and how to tell him what sins his mother has committed. ”
Qingya said: "Will Niangniang continue to let the eldest prince be raised in the palace?" ”
Min'er shook her head and said: "I just hesitate for this, even if the emperor doesn't care about the bloodline, but when that child grows up, if he knows something, it will definitely be trouble, why should we bury the root cause with our own hands?" ”
Qingya's heart trembled, she saw a look in the queen's indifferent eyes that she shouldn't have seen, but Niangniang would really be so ruthless, even an eight-year-old child......
"Qingya, watch Wang Jieyu closely, but unlike before, you can't let her do anything now, once something threatens others, stop her immediately." Min'er said solemnly, "Wait two more days, and I'll go and settle with her." ”
Qingya took the order, and immediately did what the queen said, Min'er stood by the lake and watched the sparkling, recalling the look at Qiu Zhenyu last night, it was not at all the momentum that should be between father and daughter, she and her father, like enemies, one day, only one of them can survive in this world.
Maybe Qiu Zhenyu could be responsible for what he did back then, even if he shamelessly raped the Bai family, but if he could treat the mother and daughter well afterwards and come forward to defend them when the Zhao family was crazy, even if he sent the Bai family and the old lady to Yuanzhou together, he would not have attracted such a difficult opponent for himself eighteen years later. Qiu Min'er must not be the current Qiu Min'er, she must have been scared stupid by the emperor on the night of the wedding, and since then she has lived cowardly in the shadow of the imperial city.
Min'er smiled coldly, did she still have to be grateful to her father for making her such a person?
Zhao died, the first person to really die because of himself, but as early as many years ago, when she was a child, she tried to stab the villain to stab Zhao to death, and this strong hatred of wanting to die alone has never faded. Her mother was abused every day, and if she could let go of her hatred for ten years, she would hate it in vain.
"Next, it's your turn." Min'er muttered to herself, and her father's face appeared in front of her, but it was not the appearance of seeing him last night, but the dignified man who appeared outside the gate of Beizhuang when she left the capital with her grandmother eleven years ago.
Because of this, Min'er understands the impact of hatred on children, she can hate Qiu Zhenyu and Zhao so deeply, Xiang Hong, the child, will also remember his mother's death for the rest of his life.
"Go to Qingming Pavilion and tell Zhou Huai, the emperor will come and inform me immediately when he is free, I want to see the emperor." Min'er turned around and called the palace maid beside her, and instructed, "Let Zhou Huai make it clear, it's me who is going, don't alarm the emperor to come up to the Yang Palace." ”
The palace maid took the order and left, Min'er took another look at the Taiye Pool, then took everyone back, changed their clothes and prepared some refreshments, and waited to go to Qingming Pavilion to see the emperor.
In Anle Palace, after Wang Jieyu sent a congratulatory gift, she was about to leave, she looked no different from weekdays, Concubine Shu was silent in front of her, and waited for someone to leave, before she said to Er Zhen: "She and the queen left the table last night, if the queen didn't do it, could it be her?" But the Wang family has the courage to kill people? ”
Er Zhen shook her head and said, "How can Wang Jieyu and Mrs. Qiu have any dealings, even if they have the guts, it doesn't make sense?" ”
Concubine Shu's brows were frowned, her body was still very weak, she sighed: "That's it, fortunately, everything has nothing to do with me, but I am a little unlucky, the child's birthday is such a thing, fortunately, I gave birth to a son, if it is a daughter, I really want to respond to it." ”
Er Zhen said with a smile: "Niang Niang is blessed, your good days are still ahead." ”
Concubine Shu smiled faintly and asked, "The emperor came with the queen last night, I heard them say that the emperor took the queen's hand and walked to the side hall?" ”
Er Zhen didn't see it with her own eyes, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she could only say: "There is nothing abnormal about the queen mother, as usual, I like the second highness very much, you know, the second highness also loves to pester the queen mother, but the emperor has a serious face, as if he is very worried about you." ”
Concubine Shu sighed: "I'm still very worried that what I said that day will be heard by the emperor, but fortunately, he came to see me in person, otherwise I would have been hard to argue if I turned around and suspected that I would change the tanuki for the prince." I didn't expect it to be a son, a quack, who almost killed me. ”
"Niangniang, don't complain, take care of your body with peace of mind, the affairs in the palace are still waiting for you, the queen looks like she is not willing to care, since she is willing to give you the power, of course Niangniang has to hurry." Er Zhen helped Concubine Shu lie down and said with a smile, "The affairs of the Zhao family have nothing to do with us, you can rest assured and watch from the wall to see how it will develop." ”
It wasn't until noon that the emperor had half a moment to spare, and Zhou Huai immediately sent someone to invite the queen, and Xiang Ye saw Min'er and said, "Stay and have lunch with me." ”
Min'er smiled: "I don't need any refreshments to prepare." ”
The emperor was polite: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what do you want to say to me?" ”
Seeing that he was so direct, Min'er said straight to the point: "What are the emperor's plans for the future of the eldest prince?" The eldest prince will inevitably not inherit the unification, do you want to send him to the fief to be the king? ”
Xiang Ye said: "They are still young, I haven't thought about it. Looking at Min'er's solemn gaze, he knew that he had to think about it now. If Hong'er is really not his child, then this child can't be kept.
