Chapter 188: Turning the Tide
Kou Shu sat down for a long time, and Song Jinyan seemed to have just seen the Rong nobles standing on top of the main hall, and muttered: "Rong nobles should also sit first." ”
This tone was not at all the tone of a person who treated the dragonborn in his arms, and it was completely different from the feeling of care and care he felt a few days ago.
"Rong Guiren," the Queen Mother glanced up and down at Rong Guiren in front of her, and then said: "The mourning family is looking for you today, but there are some things to ask you." ”
Rong Guiren nodded and bent his knees slightly: "The Queen Mother, please ask." ”
The Queen Mother spoke, but she also went straight to the point: "The mourning family asked you, are you really pregnant with a child?" ”
"Queen Mother," although Rong Guiren had already prepared in his heart, when he really heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble a little, but his face remained the same: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubines don't dare to make a mistake on the issue of the dragon heir." ”
"You say, are you really pregnant?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and stared straight at the Rong Guiren in front of her.
"Queen Mother-" Rong Guiren's face turned pale, and he seemed to want to speak.
"Governor Wang," the Queen Mother's voice was cold, and then she spoke: "Let's see, is this noble person pregnant?" The meaning of these words is obviously not to believe what Rong Guiren himself said.
"Queen Mother," Kou Shu got up and said softly: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother, is this a suspicion that Rong Guiren's pregnancy is fake?" ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and even had a good face on Kou Shu: "The queen just sits and listens, and the mourning family must find out today." ”
Looking at Lan Ruoxuan's expression on the side, Kou Shu suddenly understood a little, raised her head, and Kou Shu said softly: "The queen mother has doubts in her heart, and if she wants to check whether Rong Guiren is pregnant, she can naturally, but no matter how you say it, Rong Guiren is also one of the concubines in this harem, if she is suspected by the queen mother like this today, I am afraid it will hurt the heart of the Northwest General." ”
Kou Shu's words were very clever, and the Queen Mother's eyes paused slightly, but she didn't take this into account.
"Why don't you let the concubines take Rong Gui and the royal court governor, and then take Mama Meng, and go to the side hall to verify, and tell everyone what the result is in a while?"
Song Jinyan said on the side: "What the queen said is right, just do it." ”
A smile flashed in Kou Shu's eyes, and then he got up and led a group of people to the side hall.
In a short time, several people came out of the side hall.
As soon as he walked in front of Song Jinyan, Rong Guiren knelt down with a puff, tears rippling, and he seemed to be extremely ashamed.
The governor of the royal courtyard stepped forward, bowed his hand to the Queen Mother and Song Jinyan, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Rong Guiren is not pregnant. It's just that because the food is too greasy these days, resulting in stagnation and occlusion in the abdomen, and the flow of qi and blood is blocked, the monthly letter will not be punctual, and there will be no appetite for eating. ”
"Rong Guiren!" After receiving an exact answer, the Queen Mother's eyes burst with raging anger: "Obviously you don't have a dragon heir, you dare to deceive me, do you know what crime you should be guilty of deceiving the royal family and forging a dragon heir?" As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother suddenly picked up a teacup beside her and threw it down at the feet of Rong Guiren, and the teacup shattered in response.
Rong Guiren raised his head, his eyes were already full of tears, and he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Queen Mother, the concubine is because she can't believe it for many days and months, and she hasn't thought about tea and dinner for the past few days, so she invited the imperial doctor to come for consultation." It was the Imperial Physician Hu who said that the concubine was pregnant, and the Queen Mother-"
"Presumptuous," the Queen Mother snorted violently: "It's ridiculous, your own body, don't you know it yourself?" The man had already sat down, his head tilted to one side, and although he was still angry, it was obvious that his anger had subsided a lot compared to what he had just done.
handed a look to Rong Guiren, and Rong Guiren received Kou Shu's eyes and immediately came to his senses. squeezed a few tears, kneeled to the queen mother's knees, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Queen Mother, everything is the fault of the sons, and the sons are too reckless to believe the words of quacks, which has caused damage to the dignity of the royal family now." ”
The Queen Mother turned her head, obviously unwilling to listen more.
Rong Guiren's eyes were crossed, and he continued: "Queen Mother, the concubine knows what the concubine says now, the queen mother will not forgive the concubine, and the concubine is willing to die to preserve the dignity of the royal family." With that, Rong Guiren got up, seemed to have enough strength, and slammed into the stake beside Song Jinyan.
Several girls on the side subconsciously exclaimed.
Song Jinyan frowned, and he had already stretched out his hand extremely quickly and pulled Rong Guiren back. What are you kidding, if Yang Min really dies here, I'm afraid that Yang Qi will not be able to live in peace.
"Queen Mother," Song Jinyan frowned and glanced at Rong Guiren, and then glanced at Kou Shu on the side meaningfully: "I think that since Min'er said that it was the quack doctor who misdiagnosed, there is no need to take this matter too seriously, and Heng Zhu Min'er just listened to the fallacy of the imperial doctor Hu, in the final analysis, it is just a sin of credulity." ”
Falsely claiming to be the heir of the dragon, deceiving the royal family, and confusing the royal bloodline is a big crime to kill the head, and in comparison, being gullible and quackery is just a trivial matter, and it is nothing at all. The so-called crime is just a thought of the superior.
Kou Shu raised her eyebrows and gave Rong Guiren an affirmative look, then she didn't say anything more, turned her head, but saw Lan Ruoxuan looking at her faint eyes. There seems to be a bit of dissatisfaction in it.
"Speaking of which," Kou Shu seemed to have just reacted, and when she woke up from a big dream, she saw Lan Ruoxuan on the side, and said, "Why is Lan Guifei here?" ”
Lan Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows, bowed slightly to Kou Shu, and said, "The concubine just came to the palace to talk to the queen mother. mentioned that a few days ago, the concubine noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Rong Guiren's food, thinking that Rong Guiren was pregnant now, and felt a little strange, so she took Rong Guiren to come and have a look. ”
This is an understatement, a brushstroke, if you don't know, you still think it's just a trivial matter, only Kou Shu knows, if you are not careful just now, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe now. From beginning to end, Kou Shu looked like a bystander, and didn't say a word.
When everyone left, Song Jinyan left Kou Shu alone.
"Queen-" Song Jinyan suddenly spoke: "Today's matter is your handiwork, right?" ”
"Lan Ruoxuan wants Rong Guiren to die, I can understand it, why should the queen keep her?" Song Jinyan stood up and looked directly at Kou Shu in front of him: "Is the queen willing to give me an explanation?" ”
Kou Shu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Does the emperor think that now is the time?" ”
Song Jinyan frowned and looked at Kou Shu in front of him, but did not speak.
