Chapter 132: Rumors
Changle's beautiful shadow walked into the hall gracefully, and her face was full of spring, adding a gorgeous color to the Taoyao Palace under the sky. That touch of brightness fell in the eyes of Shen Changan, who had already passed, but it had a different meaning.
Changle smiled lightly, respectfully blessed with a blessing, "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye." β
Chang'an raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that although Changle was pregnant, his body was still slender, his face was thin and powdery, and his eyes were full of pearls, Chang'an smiled gloomily and said, "Sit down." β
Changle smiled and lowered his lips, and was about to open his lips, but suddenly heard Chang'an say, "Why has my sister come to see the palace these days?" Don't remember what happened last time? β
Changle's heart tightened for a while, she knew that she had made a big fuss about the Taoyao Palace for the matter of cold medicine, and she had already provoked Chang'an's displeasure. At this moment, seeing that Chang'an's tone was not good, Changle was also secretly frightened. She forced a smile on her face, shook Chang'an's hand and said, "I misunderstood my elder sister for what happened that day, and now that I am pregnant, I won't mention the past." β
Chang'an heard that her words were full of showing off, but he was unmoved. Her gaze fell on Changle's lower abdomen, which was not very obvious, and the smile on her face was thin, "Congratulations to Zhaorong." β
Changle couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, "This is my child, and it is also the eldest sister's child, the eldest sister has just lost the fourth prince, and with this child, it is just time to fill the vacancy of the fourth prince." β
This sentence was like a sharp needle, and it suddenly stabbed in Chang'an's heart.
The smile on Chang'an's face couldn't hold on, and the hatred in his heart came one after another like a mountain of mountains.
Shen Changle's child, how can he replace her Yun Jing?!
Changle saw that Chang'an's face turned pale for a while, and immediately pushed the refreshments on the table in front of Chang'an, changed the topic and said, "Eldest sister, in fact, I'm here today...... There is something important to discuss with my sister...... It's about the Four Princes......"
Chang'an heard her mention Yun Jing, tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and frowned at her, "What's wrong with Yun Jing?" β
Changle looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he knelt on Chang'an's side, lowered his voice and said, "Does my sister know?" Now everyone in the palace is rumoring that it was the eldest prince who killed the fourth prince, and the concubines listened to it, and they didn't know if it was ......"
Before Changle finished speaking, Chang'an immediately glanced at her, "Where did you hear these crazy words?" β
"Now everybody's talking about it." Changle's gaze flickered, "Sister, don't you feel a little strange?" β
Chang'an's dark eyes scraped lightly on her face, "What?" Do you know where these rumors came from? β
"Sister." Changle frowned slightly, with a hint of sorrow in his eyes, "Doesn't my sister really doubt the eldest prince?" β
Chang'an's expression changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help raising his voice, "Yun Ke is the son of this palace, why should this palace doubt his own child?" β
Changle sighed softly and said casually, "Sister think about it carefully, although the eldest prince is my sister's child, his biological mother is Queen Li after all. Queen Li was not on good terms with her sister before her death, so she didn't necessarily have to say anything about her sister behind her back. Besides, when Empress Li died, my sister was in the cold palace, I don't know the details, but I finally came out of the Chonghua Palace, and I heard that this was Queen Li's last wish, but my sister thought about it, Queen Li and Concubine Zhong Shufei had a close relationship, why didn't she leave the eldest prince by Concubine Shu's side? Since it is handed over to her sister, she must have her unique intentions. Let's not talk about this incident, let's just say that although the eldest prince is the eldest son, his mother is dead, and his status is also very embarrassing, which is different from the four princes who came out of him. The two have been under the same roof for a long time, the eldest prince is old, and the fourth prince is still ignorant, the eldest prince estimates that he has long been thinking about the position of the crown prince, so the fourth prince is the biggest enemy, and when he grows up, he will meet the horse, and he will do it at this moment......"
"Shut up!" Chang An couldn't listen anymore, slapped the table, and scolded angrily, "Yun Ke is just an eleven-year-old child, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven if you say such things?" Shen Changle, do you still have a conscience? β
Changle was angrily reprimanded by Chang'an in an unsuspecting situation, and he was immediately stunned, "I'm doing this for the good of my eldest sister, I ......"
"Get out." Chang'an's eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth, "Accumulate some virtue for the child you are about to be born, and don't say these foul words in front of this palace." β
Changle didn't dare to argue with the queen at this moment, so he had to endure the dissatisfaction in his heart and retreated.
She took Yixiang's hand and walked out of Taoyao Palace, and was about to get angry, but she saw Aunt Huizhi in Yongfu Palace walking towards them.
Changle was startled, and wanted to avoid her by going around a palace road, but suddenly heard Huizhi call her.
"Zhaorong Niangniang, the Queen Mother is invited."
Shen Changle rarely enters Yongfu Palace, even if he comes to greet the Queen Mother, he comes with the emperor, at this moment, there are only the Queen Mother, Hui Zhi and her three people in the hall, and even the personal palace maid Yixiang has been avoided, and Changle faintly feels that the big thing is not good.
"Shen Zhaorong, why didn't you kneel when you saw the Queen Mother?"
Hui Zhi's tone was sharp, and Changle was suddenly shocked. She was pregnant, and the emperor had exempted her from asking for etiquette, and at this time Huizhi said this, she didn't dare not kneel, so she knocked a song, "The concubine has seen the queen mother." β
The Queen Mother didn't look at her either, she only brought a bowl of tea, and before she could take a sip, she took the tea and splashed it at Shen Changle together.
"Shen Zhaorong, you are so bold!"
Changle was dipped in tea, so frightened that he couldn't even speak, he just kowtowed vigorously, "The Queen Mother is angry, the Queen Mother is angry, the concubines don't know what mistakes have been made, and please ask the Queen Mother to make it clear!" β
The Queen Mother sneered coldly, her eyes were full of coldness, "It seems that you are not ready to admit it, then let the mourning family tell you." The rumors about the eldest prince framing the fourth prince came from your palace, right? Shen Zhaorong, your mind is really vicious, you dare to attack a child, what are your intentions! β
Changle's forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat, piercing her heart, she crawled to the queen mother's feet, crying and begging, "Ask the queen mother to be clear, the concubine has a hundred guts, and she will never dare to frame the eldest prince, someone must have wronged the ......concubine in this matter."
The Queen Mother's expression was cold, and her voice seemed to burst out from the bottom of her throat, "Wronged you? The people in your palace have already been recruited, and you instigated them to spread rumors everywhere, do you dare to deny it?! β
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the concubine begs you, it's really not the concubine who did it, the Queen Mother ......" Changle begged bitterly, seeing that the Queen Mother was still indifferent, he suddenly had a plan, his hands tightly held his lower abdomen, and he said with difficulty, "Pain...... It hurts......"
Seeing this, Hui Zhi couldn't help but sweat coldly, and immediately looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, this ......"
The empress dowager looked indifferent, without the slightest expression, just looked at Shen Changle kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, and said sharply, "Spread the will of the mourning family, Zhaorong Shen will be abolished as a concubine, and he will be immediately entered into the cold palace, and he will not be allowed to come out for the rest of his life!" β
"Queen Mother!"
Before the words fell, Chu Luo had already taken He Sheng and hurried towards the hall, as soon as he saw Changle kneeling on the ground and suffering from pain, he immediately stepped forward to support her, and said softly, "Changle, are you okay?" β
"Emperor! This is the Yongfu Palace of the mourning family, do you still have any rules! The Queen Mother got up angrily and looked at Chu Luo Dao, "The Shen family has bad intentions and deliberately fabricates rumors to murder the emperor's heir, and it is not an exaggeration to die!" β
Chu Luo's eyebrows sank, his face gradually calmed, and he knelt down respectfully to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, there must be a misunderstanding in this, and the son believes that this matter is definitely not Zhaorong's doing." β
"Emperor, Emperor, you are really confused!" The Queen Mother was heartbroken, and looked at the emperor with hatred, "The people in Zhaorong Palace have already recruited all of them, what else does she have to say?!" β
Chu Luo's heart jumped in vain, but his tone was extremely indifferent, "Zhaorong is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and she is a biological sister with the queen, she will definitely not do such a thing, and please ask the queen mother to be aware of it." β
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes, "Then the mourning family wants to put the Shen family into the cold palace today, and the emperor wants to protect her, does he also want to fight against the mourning family?" β
Chu Luo bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully, "Zhaorong is the concubine of the son, and if there is any mistake, it will also be sent by the son." β
"You ......" The Queen Mother was so angry that she pointed her finger at the emperor, and her voice was deep and trembling, "You can't make a thing!" β
Before the words fell, the Queen Mother suddenly covered her heart and fell backwards at once.
"The Queen Mother!"
"Queen Mother!"
"Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctorβ"
Countless palace people came in outside the palace, and there was a mess in the Yongfu Palace.
Changle took advantage of the chaos in the palace and quietly went out. Yixiang stood outside the door, watched Changle come out, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Niangniang is okay, right?" β
Changle glanced at her with great satisfaction, and smiled quietly, "It's the emperor you went to invite, right?" β
Yixiang's face turned red, and she immediately lowered her head, "The slave maid listened to the movement inside, and thought that something must have happened to the mother, so she went to Mingde Palace to find the emperor......"
"You're doing a good job." Changle gently stroked the jasper bracelet on his wrist and smiled quietly, "If it weren't for the emperor's timely arrival, this palace would be in the cold palace now." β
When Yixiang heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "The Queen Mother really wants to do this?" The mother is still pregnant with a child. β
A trace of hatred flashed in Changle's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The old poisonous woman of the Queen Mother has to kill me." Yixiang, you go back to find out, who in the palace leaked the news, and they will all be killed. β
Yixiang's face gradually lost blood, "Niangniang......"
Changle took a deep breath, holding Yixiang's hand, his expression suddenly became hideous, "The Queen Mother has already set her sights on the palace, the emperor can save the palace once, but he may not be able to save the palace for the second time, as long as one of them doesn't pay attention, the palace and this child will have to die in the hands of the queen mother." β
The more Yixiang listened, the more frightened she became, her fingers trembled uncontrollably, and her voice was intermittent, "Niangniang...... That...... So what are we going to do......"
Changle turned his head to look at her, leaving no room for anything, "This palace must live, this palace must be the queen of the main palace, and it must not die in the hands of the queen mother so easily." If you don't do it, only the dead can't speak, and only in this way can you save the life of the palace and the child. β
