Chapter 99: The Only Way Out
Chinese At the moment of losing the child, Rong Qing cried bitterly, regardless of the weakness of his body after giving birth, he smashed everything in the hall like crazy.
Queen Lou was also sad and desperate, in order to save Rongqing's child, she gave up the queen's dignity and went to ask Lin Mu to protect Rongqing's baby, but the final result was still the same...... Afraid that Rongqing would hurt herself if she kept crying, Queen Lou couldn't help her, so she finally had to let the grandmothers catch her hands and feet, carry her to the bed, and let her lie down to rest.
After a miscarriage and a lot of trouble, Rong Qing's body was extremely weak, and his heart was even more heartbreaking, crying in grief
"Mother, now I have nothing...... The colt won't want me anymore......" Queen Lou said bitterly
"No, you are the wife he is marrying, and you are the eldest princess of the Dayong Dynasty, he doesn't dare to do this to you...... Besides, the child can be conceived again, and now the most important thing for you is to take care of your body......" Having said that, Rong Qing knows too well Li Xiu's dislike of himself, marrying into the Li Mansion for so long, except for the two of them being husband and wife on the night of the wedding, since then, he didn't even look at her, even if he was driven into her house by the Li family's parents, he slept alone in the outside room and did not enter her bedroom...... And now because of Qingxing's matter, Li Xiu's dislike for her is even worse, Rong Qing originally wanted to use this child to make him accept himself again, but he didn't expect that there was no last hope.
Rong Qing's face was pale as a ghost, and his face was withered, and his face had long since lost his previous grace and nobility, and even his eyes had lost their last brilliance...... She grabbed Queen Lou's hand in a panic and trembled
"The queen mother, don't let the colt know about my miscarriage...... If I let him know that I don't even have a child, he won't care about me anymore......" Hearing this, Queen Lou was embarrassed.
The miscarriage can be concealed for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime, and the more you go to the back, the more clues will be revealed. What's more, if you keep hiding it like this, when the day the melon is ripe, what will you do?
The most important thing is that Queen Lou doesn't want to see her daughter suffer such a big grievance, not to mention Rongqing's miscarriage, but Li Xiu is the biggest culprit - if it weren't for everything he did at the birthday banquet, how could Rongqing not stop being hit and frightened by the miscarriage and having no child?
! Thinking of this, Queen Lou trembled with hatred, and she couldn't wait to cut Li Xiu with a thousand knives immediately.
On the face, Queen Lou said sadly
"Haven't you forgotten that negative man at this point? You've suffered such a big sin, and you're still worried that he doesn't want you?! Qing'er, there are so many good men in the world, why do you just recognize him? The queen mother can call the shots and let you separate. And with your identity, you don't have to worry about marrying a good man who regrets you, why bother to follow someone who doesn't love you, and be wronged and neglected...... "Yes, there are many talented and handsome men in the world than Li Xiu, why do you have to pester him?"
Rong Qing's eyes were wide and starless, and he was stunned on the top of the dark hall, but in his mind, Li Xiu was wearing a moon-white robe and a flute in the sky, and the jade figure stood under the peach tree.
He is handsome and elegant, his flute is moving, he smiles and everything melts...... It's a pity that his beauty is not for her, and his beauty is unreserved for another woman.
Li Xiu in front of her was indifferent and alienated, even cruel and ruthless! Ask yourself, Rongqing never felt that she was worse than Su Liuying, she had what she had, she didn't, but she did!
Obviously, she is the most noble and outstanding woman in the world, why can't Li Xiu see her good, there will always be only Su Liuying in his eyes!
! Rongqing's love for Li Xiu, in addition to almost crazy love and possessiveness, also has a deep unwillingness...... Blinking his eyes with difficulty, tears rolled down, Rong Qing gritted his teeth and suppressed the sadness in his heart
"A good woman doesn't marry twice. If the eldest princess of my dignified and Yong Dynasty can't even protect a marriage, how am I qualified to be an example for all princesses, and how can I be an example for women in the world...... Therefore, from the day I married the concubine, I never thought of giving up, even if I was entangled in pain, I must grow old with him for ......a lifetime" Looking at Rong Qing's resoluteness and stubbornness, Queen Lou surged with a deep sense of pain and powerlessness - how did she not understand the daughter she gave birth to, Rong Qing was already obsessed with Li Xiu, and it went deep into the bone marrow...... raised his hand to gently brush away the tears in the corners of Rong Qing's eyes, but Queen Lou's eyes were wet and she choked up
"Okay, the queen mother is up to you. You say, what do you want, the queen mother will help you! There was a faint light in the dead eyes, and Rong Qing trembled excitedly
"Queen Mother, you block the news of my miscarriage and don't let outsiders know. I will always 'raise the fetus' in the Yongkun Palace, and when it comes to the day of delivery, you will help me go outside the palace and bring a child in for me to be a child...... In this way, I have a child with the colt, and he will not leave me again, and I can take the opportunity to have another real child with him...... Mother, isn't this method perfect? "So far, that's the only way to do it.
Queen Lou nodded in response. Turning her head, Queen Lou commanded Yingluo in a deep voice
"You have quietly dealt with the palace people who are serving in this hall tonight, and the news of the princess's miscarriage cannot be leaked for half a minute. In addition, you will leave the palace tomorrow and personally visit a few pregnant women with similar dates to the princess's pregnancy, and from now on, you will keep an eye on it, and wait until the day the princess gives birth, and prepare early......" Hearing this, Yingluo's heart trembled, but she suddenly thought of something.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally pulled Queen Lou aside and whispered
"Niangniang, if the slave is not mistaken, the child in Suijieyu's belly is about the same as the princess. If you want to go out of the palace to find a child, it is better to leave the child in her belly to the princess, how to say it, it is also the flesh and blood of the prince......" Her eyes were cold, Queen Lou looked back at her coldly, and said in a cold tone
"The baby in her belly is of other use. It was not easy for this palace to let Concubine Ning fall for the scheme, how could she give up halfway?
“
"Just one child, the prince has so many concubines, and many people give birth to grandchildren for the palace! Bengong didn't want the eldest grandson of Bengong to crawl out of the belly of a lowly palace maid. After that, Queen Lou commanded
"You send someone to Changxin Palace to keep an eye on it, and when the time comes, immediately tell the news to the emperor and the crown prince, so that they can see with their own eyes how Concubine Ning killed the royal bloodline!" Choshin Palace.
After half a cup of tea, Imperial Physician Wu finally turned around and said in a deep voice to Concubine Ning, who had been waiting for a long time
"Qi Yu Niangniang, Jieyu Niangniang's lower abdomen is swollen, but there is some food accumulation, not that she is pregnant!" Imperial Physician Wu's words stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was happy when they heard his results, and everyone's faces showed a good description of a good show.
Sui Jieyu has already committed a big sin of witchcraft, and now she is blatantly telling a big lie in order to get rid of the crime, which is even more of a crime.
In this way, her fate is even more conceivable! After hearing the final diagnosis given by Imperial Physician Wu, Sui'er, who was originally happy, turned pale in an instant, and was shocked on the spot.
Su Liuying's heart sank, Mo Ran, she felt that there was something unpredictable about things. And after hearing the results of the diagnosis given by Imperial Doctor Wu, the happiest person was Concubine Ning.
Looking at Sui'er who was stupid on the spot with sharp eyes, Concubine Ning couldn't help but think of her previous deception and betrayal again, and gritted her teeth and sneered
"Slut, you're really lying, and you're still not crying when you don't see the coffin at this time. How dare you tell such a lie to deceive this palace, what do you think of this palace? Don't you really dare to ask for your life!? Concubine Ning, who was furious, shouted
"Come on, sew up this slut's mouth for this palace, and this palace will see how she still lies!" Immediately, a grandmother came out with a rusty needle with a thin thread and wanted to step forward to sew Sui'er's mouth.
Sui'er's whole body trembled violently, and she got up from the mud in a panic, tremblingly raised her bound hands and pointed at Imperial Doctor Wu, who was standing by with a solemn face, and said sharply with a white face
"I'm not lying...... It was this imperial doctor who lied. Obviously, in the queen's palace this morning, she also helped me diagnose the happy pulse...... Niangniang, you believe me this time, I am really pregnant with the prince's child, it is this imperial doctor who lied, he is deceiving Niangniang...... Mother's life! Seeing Sui'er pointing the finger at herself, Imperial Doctor Wu, who had a solemn face, said to Concubine Ning in a deep voice
"If Niangniang doesn't believe in Weichen's medical skills, there are other colleagues in the Tai Hospital, and Niang Niang can call other Tai Doctors to come over to help Jieyu Niangniang see a doctor. But-" Imperial Physician Wu looked back at Sui Jieyu, who gritted her teeth and hated to look at her, and said coldly
"Wechen has served in the Tai Hospital for decades, not to mention his superb medical skills, but Wechen says that he still has a clear distinction between happiness and consumption." Imperial Physician Wu is one of the best old female doctors in the palace, how can he not distinguish between consumption and happiness?
! As soon as this remark came out, it caused everyone to laugh at Sui'er even more wantonly. And now, Concubine Ning will now believe Sui'er's words again, so she said fiercely
"I sewed her mouth first, and then pierced the silver needles on this wooden man into her stomach to help her eat well." Concubine Ning gave an order, and the executing grandmother did not hesitate any longer, stepped forward with a rusty needle in her hand, and several other people surrounded her and grabbed her hands and feet.
The long needle in Mama's hand pierced Sui'er's lower lip flap mercilessly, and then pulled it out from the other side, sewing her upper and lower lipes into a ...... A drop of blood rolled down the needle hole in Sui'er's lips, and she struggled in pain, her face twisted into a ball with pain, and a small half of her white lips had been sewn up, and her mouth could not be opened, and she could only let out a low 'woo-woo' sound.
This scene is really cruel, but this harem is a cruel place, and people are not allowed to take a wrong step, let alone a wicked person like Sui'er who steps on someone else's corpse to ascend to the throne.
Seeing Sui'er's whole body trembling in pain, Concubine Ning smiled with satisfaction
"You know it hurts now?! Then do you know how painful it was when Imperial Doctor Lin bit his tongue at the beginning! You have borne less than a tenth of what he has now. So—take your time! "Concubine Ning is a person who loves and hates very clearly, and those who help her, like Su Liuying Lin Yan, she remembers it in her heart.
And a betrayer like Sui'er, she will never be soft! Su Liuying also hated Sui'er for killing Lin Yan, so she didn't sympathize when she saw Concubine Ning torture Sui'er.
It's just that she vaguely feels that there is something strange about tonight's events! After frowning and thinking for a moment, she finally came to Concubine Ning's side and said
"Niangniang, it's late at night, let the other Niangniang go back to the palace to rest first. As for Sui'er, since her crime has been decided, we can just leave it to us to deal with it ourselves. Don't disturb the ladies who have already gone to bed! Hearing this, Concubine Ning's heart froze, and she looked back at Su Liuying, who had a calm face, with a puzzled face.
She heard Su Liuying's off-string sound, but she didn't understand it for a while. Su Liuying smiled indifferently and whispered in her ear
"Niangniang, the queen mother has a head disease this morning, and it is the time to recuperate, it would be inappropriate to let Sui'er's matter disturb her." After being reminded by Su Liuying, Concubine Ning finally came back to her senses, and then remembered that there was such a big incident between the East Palace and her Changxin Palace tonight, and Queen Lou didn't react at all, it was too abnormal.
She immediately understood that something was unusual, and immediately raised her hand to let the executing grandmother stop, and coldly ordered everyone else to retreat and go back to the palace to rest, and let Su Liuying bring Sui'er, who was covered in blood, into the side hall and locked up.
Everyone had just left the small meeting, but there was another commotion at the door, but it was Emperor Huicheng with the queen, followed by the prince who came in at night.
The expressions on the faces of the father and son were a little gloomy, and Queen Lou's face was also gloomy. Without waiting for the emperor and queen to speak, the crown prince Yin Xian had already asked Concubine Ning in a deep voice
"I heard that Ning Niangniang took Sui Jieyu from the East Palace of the main palace, I don't know what she did? Where are people now? "Before, Concubine Ning went to the East Palace to search the palace and made such a big noise, and I didn't see this prince come out, how did someone catch Changxin Palace, but he came to the door to ask someone to come.
And Queen Lou is even more so! A layer of cold sweat broke out on Concubine Ning's back, and it was only at this time that she believed more and more Su Liuying's reminder, this matter was really unusual, and it was obviously a conspiracy of Queen Lou again!
She calmed down, first asked the emperor and queen to sit down, and turned back to the prince with an anxious face and said coldly
"Sui Jieyu went out from the palace of the palace, and she held a grudge against the palace because of some trivial things, and she actually used witchcraft to trap the palace in the palace. That's why this palace arrested her for interrogation to suppress the palace discipline! With that, he raised his hand lightly and asked Fei'er to show the villain full of silver needles he had searched from the Phixiang Hall to Emperor Huicheng.
The wooden villain has Concubine Ning's birthday written on it, and all the vital points on his body are covered with silver needles with cold light, which makes Emperor Huicheng's eyes jump, and he looks at the prince with a cold face, and said coldly
"A little Jieyu dares to use such a ruthless trick to frame Concubine Ning, it's not a pity to die!" was reprimanded by Emperor Huicheng, the prince's face darkened, but he didn't dare to speak again, and involuntarily turned his head to look at the queen.
Queen Lou's expression has been solemn and low since she entered the door, and now she is even more sad when she hears the words of Emperor Huicheng, and she can't bear to say with sadness
"This matter is very important, and the emperor can't listen to the words of the family, so why not listen to what Sui Jieyu has to say? Maybe there is some misunderstanding in this, after all, Sui Jieyu used to be a person under Concubine Ning, but the concubine couldn't believe that she would do such an insidious and terrible thing to her former master! ”
What's more, she fled into the concubine's Yongkun Palace in the middle of the night last night, but found that she was pregnant with the prince's child. The concubine repeatedly told her to raise the fetus with peace of mind, even if she was bullied, she had to endure it, and not to quarrel with others in the palace. She promised well, how could she use witchcraft to frame Concubine Ning in the blink of an eye......" As soon as Queen Lou said this, Concubine Ning's face changed instantly, and Emperor Huicheng's face also darkened, and he looked at Concubine Ning with gloomy eyes.
In the end, it fell on Queen Lou, and she said with doubts
"Flee into your palace in the middle of the night?! What the hell is going on? With a look of unbearable pity on her face, Queen Lou said in a heavy tone
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Sister Ning is in charge of the palace and is more rigorous in governing the palace, or maybe Sister Ning can't accept it for a while because she has been the master of the palace people under her hands. I don't know when rumors began to spread in this palace, saying that Sister Ning couldn't tolerate Sui Jieyu in her eyes, and it was customary to worship high and low in this palace, so the other concubines helped Sister Ning unite to teach Sui Jieyu a lesson......"
It stands to reason that Sui Jieyu should have been used to being bullied for so long, but she didn't think she was blessed, and she found out that she was pregnant at this time. For the sake of the royal blood in her belly, she had to come to beg her concubine to help her, so that she could save the fetus with peace of mind. But—" Speaking of this, Queen Lou lowered her head with a bitter face and said in an obscure tone
"The concubine is sick, and she has to take care of Qing'er's body, how can she help her? just told her to endure her anger, take care of the fetus as a serious person, and stop provoking others. She also repeatedly promised her concubine that she would not cause trouble for the sake of the child in her belly, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen in a blink of an eye......"
And after the concubine drank the medicine at night, she actually fell asleep with a nap. It wasn't until Fang woke up and heard a report from the palace people, saying that Concubine Ning had caught Sui Jieyu, not only sewing her mouth with an embroidery needle, but also pricking her stomach with a silver needle...... I'm afraid that the concubine will be too late. In the end, Queen Lou's face was already full of sorrow, her voice trembled, and she looked heartbroken for the child in Sui Jieyu's belly who was tortured by Concubine Ning.
Queen Lou received the news before, saying that after Concubine Ning heard the fake diagnosis given by Imperial Doctor Wu, she was furious, sewed Sui Jieyu's mouth with an embroidery needle, and pierced her stomach with a silver needle.
Queen Lou thought, after this toss, the child in Sui Jieyu's belly will not be able to be saved.
So he calculated the right time to lead Emperor Huicheng and the crown prince to Changxin Palace. However, what she said just now implied that Concubine Ning relied on the power of the palace to bully and torture Sui Jieyu with other concubines, and tortured Sui Jieyu who was pregnant, and directly killed the child in Sui Jieyu's belly...... Sure enough, after listening to her words, Emperor Huicheng's face was gloomy and could drip water, and the prince knelt down in front of Emperor Huicheng while the iron was hot, and said sadly
"Father, this matter is full of confusion. If Concubine Ning, a wooden villain of unknown origin, killed the blood of the son-in-law, how could the son-in-law be willing? I also ask my father to call the shots for my sons! Under the repeated blows of Queen Lou and the crown prince, Concubine Ning's whole body trembled, thinking of the secret report she suddenly received, thinking of Imperial Doctor Wu's deliberate deception and concealment, and Sui Jieyu's bloodstained body when she was dragged down, Concubine Ning finally understood that tonight's incident was a beautiful conspiracy designed by Queen Lou from beginning to end.
Collapsed to the ground, Concubine Ning couldn't say a word. Because even she doesn't know if Sui Jieyu is pregnant?
If she was pregnant, did she also fall in Fang Cai's torture...... Endless panic surged into her heart, and Concubine Ning gritted her teeth to suppress the trembling in her heart
"The emperor Mingjian, the concubine just received a report, saying that Sui Jieyu was using witchcraft in the palace to harm people...... The concubine just took people to search the palace because of her duty, but she really found a wooden villain in Sui Jieyu's palace...... The concubine didn't know about Sui Jieyu's pregnancy, and before the execution, the concubine also went to the hospital to call the doctor to check on her, but the doctor said that she was just eating and was not pregnant...... "Thinking of the imperial physician Wu, Concubine Ning said excitedly
"The saint can recruit Imperial Physician Wu over, it was he who gave Sui Jieyu the pulse in front of everyone, and he also told me in public that Sui Jieyu was not pregnant, and the concubines of the entire harem could testify for the concubines...... The concubine really didn't know that Sui Jieyu was pregnant, and the concubine was wronged......" Emperor Huicheng's face was as heavy as frost, and he said coldly
"Summoning Imperial Physician Wu!" Imperial Physician Wu came soon, and he came with the other three imperial physicians on duty at the Imperial Hospital, all of whom looked worried and worried, for fear that this matter would be like Lin Yan last time, and in the end it would also involve the Imperial Physician.
On the contrary, the party concerned, Imperial Physician Wu, entered the hall calmly and calmly, kneeling down in front of the emperor and queen without changing his face.
Emperor Huicheng looked at him coldly and said coldly
"I ask you, is Sui Jieyu pregnant?!" Doctor Wu said
"Jieyu Niangniang is two months pregnant!"
"Bastard!" Hearing this, Emperor Huicheng scolded fiercely
"Then why did you lie to Concubine Ning, saying that she was not pregnant!" Imperial Physician Wu bowed deeply and said resolutely
"Shengshang, Weichen is just a little imperial doctor, how did Niangniang let Weichen say, Weichen didn't dare to disobey ah......" As soon as these words came out, Concubine Ning, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't stand it anymore and fell softly to the ground.
Before Emperor Huicheng could recover from the shock, Queen Lou looked at Concubine Ning who had fallen on top in surprise, and said in shock
What do you mean by that? Could it be that Concubine Ning asked you to do all this?! Did she let you deliberately hide the fact that Sui Jieyu was pregnant?! As soon as Queen Lou said this, it was like a thunderbolt rolling through everyone's hearts, and it was even more shocking that Concubine Ning couldn't lift it in one breath, and almost fainted.
She tried her best to get up, rushed to Imperial Doctor Wu, slapped him in the face, and said sharply
"How dare a little imperial doctor talk nonsense and frame this palace? When did this palace let you say this......" Imperial Physician Wu's calm face suddenly cracked, and the old tears were full of tears, and he wept sadly
"Niangniang, I can't hide it, in front of the saint, you still recruit it!" Concubine Ning stared at Imperial Doctor Wu in front of her with wide eyes and incredulity, and her whole body was cold with hatred, and Emperor Huicheng, who stepped forward, had already snorted coldly
"Wu Zhong, tell me honestly, what's going on with Sui Jieyu?" Imperial Physician Wu fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice
"Saint, all Weichen did was to listen to Niangniang's arrangement, Niangniang wanted Sui Jieyu's life, so she asked Weichen to hide her pregnancy, saying that it was ...... said that as long as she concealed her pregnancy, she could be executed according to the palace rules, and then the child in her womb would be buried in the ground with the death of Jieyu Niangniang...... Weichen risked his life to tell all the truth, but he couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, and he would rather die than tell it. Hearing this, the audience gasped, and Queen Lou led the prince to kneel in front of Emperor Huicheng, and begged Emperor Huicheng in unison to give Sui Jieyu and the child in her womb justice.
The child in Sui'er's belly is the eldest grandson of Emperor Huicheng, so Emperor Huicheng was extremely reluctant and resentful, and looked at Concubine Ning, who was completely panicked, with a cruel look, and his tone was so cold that there was no trace of temperature-
"Concubine Ning, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, the cold palace will be your only way out!" Cat flutter Chinese
