Chapter 409: The storm suddenly arises, and the blame is on the way
Last night, Concubine Zhuo rested after taking supper as usual, but felt abdominal pain at the beginning of Yin, when the imperial doctor led the medical woman to hurry up, Concubine Zhuo had already seen red, although the imperial doctor tried to save it, she was still unable to save the fetus in the womb, in fact, early in the morning of today's early morning, Concubine Zhuo had a miscarriage.
It's a baby boy who has already taken shape.
When Concubine Zhuo diagnosed the happy pulse, in order to show her attitude, the crown princess personally arranged for her cronies to take care of the palace maids in the palace - if the crown princess wanted to do something to Concubine Zhuo, she would never interfere in the "fetal" care of everything, such as when Concubine Wei and Concubine Yang were pregnant, the princess did not even set foot in the palace where the two lived.
But on the night of Concubine Zhuo's miscarriage, the crown princess's cronies committed suicide.
The doctor diagnosed that Concubine Zhuo did not have a miscarriage due to physical reasons, but should have taken drugs such as safflower and other abortions.
Sheng Shangdeng immediately ordered the crown princess to be placed under house arrest, and the queen and the Zongren Mansion strictly investigated the case of Concubine Zhuo's miscarriage.
The grandmother and palace maid in the palace of the crown princess were detained and tortured by the Zongren Mansion, and finally someone couldn't stand the heavy punishment and confessed to the princess - what it was said was that Concubine Yang and Concubine Wei had miscarriages that were all the means of the crown princess, who was bought, and how to bring drugs into the palace The details were spit out word for word.
This person who brought the medicine that hurt the womb into the palace was actually the mother of the crown princess.
When a few inner servants came to bring people, Mrs. Zhen fainted when she heard that the crown princess had been placed under house arrest, and the originally festive scene suddenly "cried wolf howl", but several inner servants were full of coldness and uncompromising, and carried Mrs. Zhen, who pretended to be dead, out of Zhen's mansion.
Of course, the banquet could not continue, and the news of Concubine Zhuo's miscarriage and the ban of the crown princess also spread, only in detail, to what extent the matter had deteriorated, but the people in the Zhen Mansion and the guests who went to the banquet did not know what was going on.
Everyone hurriedly said goodbye, and they all said nothing.
On the contrary, after hearing that Mrs. Zhen fainted in anger, Yijing did not leave immediately.
Yu Feng also followed Zhen Nan to the old lady's courtyard, personally took the token to Gray Du, and asked him to go to the palace to ask for a doctor, and when the old lady woke up, she was comforted again, and promised to inquire about the detailed situation, so that the old lady felt a little at ease.
When noon rang, Yu Feng and Yi Jing returned to Guan Sui Yuan, and they got the news-
The prince actually knelt in the imperial study, claiming that the princess was framed, and begged the saint to make a clear decision, and the saint ordered the prince to retreat, and the prince was still kneeling outside the Qianming Palace.
"The crown princess would never do such a stupid thing at this time." Yijing is determined, although Zhen Lian is ruthless, she is not a stupid person, when she knows that she can no longer have children and the concubine's position is in danger, how can she let herself arrange for the palace maid to go to Concubine Zhuo's side to be poisoned?
"No matter who the real culprit is, this black cauldron can only be carried by the crown princess, and she is also to blame." Yu Feng shook his head: "At present, the saint is busy with the revival of the imperial examination, setting up detailed rules such as official schools in various states and counties, and there is no idea of abolishing the concubine for the time being. ”
The situation seems to be forcing the saint to abolish the concubine, but it is more like Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, which is intended to be the prince.
Yi Jing suddenly had a bewitching face in his mind, but he subconsciously shook his head - although the third prince is planning to save the position, but what he wants is not only this, the current prince's position is not guaranteed, it is not completely beneficial to him, and what the third prince wants, as well as the prince's life.
How can a normal person understand the plot of the demons?
Yi Jing hesitated and asked, "Could it be the Fourth Prince?" ”
Yu Feng closed his eyes slightly, leaned lightly, and finally shook his head: "There is no evidence, you can't speculate." ”
But for such a thing, it is not easy to find out the evidence, and the saint may not seriously investigate it.
"Since the saint ordered the crown princess to be placed under house arrest, she should not be tolerated, and it seems that there is also the intention of controlling the situation, if the saint really wants to investigate deeply, this matter will not be handled by the queen and the Zongren Mansion, and the only person who goes to the Zhen Mansion to detain people will be afraid of Dali Siqing." Yu Feng said in a deep voice: "The crown princess meddling in political affairs, it is really her own cleverness, Concubine Zhuo's miscarriage only put her in a desperate situation in advance, but the prince strives to take into account the overall situation and avoid the dispute over the abolition of the reserve, and the princess should be spared, I am afraid that the prince will gain an inch, and still want to keep the crown princess's position." ”
Yu Feng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said again: "The crown princess will be abolished, I am worried that if she is obsessed, she will implicate the Zhen Mansion, if the crown princess is wise and willing to admit the crime of 'taking care of herself', and ask for the abolition of the throne, the saint should not dispose of the Zhen family." ”
The Zhen family has made significant contributions in forcing Emperor Wai to abdicate, it is a family, the in-laws are intertwined, and there is still prestige, and Mrs. Zhen's maiden family Xing is the old department that once followed Gaozu to raise troops, and the saint will not implicate the two families unless he is forced to do so.
"If the saint cares about the crown prince and abolishes the crown princess, the new crown princess should still choose between the two boudoirs of Zhen and Xing." Yu Feng frowned seriously: "But according to my speculation, eight or nine times out of ten, the Holy Lord will choose one of the two side concubines Wei and Zhuo." ”
If so...... The saint has already moved the heart of the prince to weaken the power of the prince.
Yijing's heart was inexplicably heavy.
The battle for the throne seems to be inevitable, and the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu, who are the ministers of the Son of Heaven, are afraid that they will be forced by the situation if they want to avoid it.
The prince knelt outside the Qianming Palace for two whole days.
The queen couldn't help but go to the Qianming Palace to intercede in person, until the saint promised to spare Zhen Lian's life and release Mrs. Zhen back to the house, the prince fainted and was sent back to the East Palace to recuperate.
The three princes frequently visited the East Palace.
The four princes were severely reprimanded by the saint in front of the cabinet and the officials of Zhongshu Province because of the slight negligence of the household department, and the envoy who had just arrived was taken back by the Son of Heaven, so that the four princes "thought about it carefully", so the Qin Xiang's henchmen in the sleeves of the impeachment of the prince for disobedience and immorality were silently turned into ashes.
After hearing this, Yijing said: "It seems that although the saint does not want to investigate the truth about Concubine Zhuo's miscarriage, he already has an opinion in his heart. ”
Yu Feng still rubbed his brows: "Qin Xiang is a little anxious this time, the saint has already seen it in his eyes, this shock, no one dares to doubt the prince for the time being." ”
However, if he really cares about the prince, Concubine Zhuo's miscarriage will never be put down gently, and the saint's move is just a measure to control the situation.
Immediately followed by Yijing, he was suddenly seen by the Queen Mother.
But she was asked to be a lobbyist, and the object was the crown princess who was still under house arrest in the East Palace.
"Chen girl is dignified and reasonable, but she is not good at words, as for the Qin family, it is even more unexpected, Wulang and Liulang's two daughters-in-law I don't worry, I know that this is a little difficult for you, Jing girl, some words, the mourning family and the queen are not good to come forward to mention Zhen, you and her are the same generation......" The queen mother sighed: "The prince is confused, so far, he still wants to keep the throne of Zhen's concubine, San Lang has persuaded him for a few days, but the prince is obsessed." ”
Yijing only felt a headache, if the prince was like this, Zhen Lian would definitely be punished for a serious crime, the Zhen family would also be implicated, and others would just pay it back, the safety of Zhen Erlang and Aqing had to be worried, not to mention that the prince must not be "disobedient" at the moment, even if Qin Xiang was deterred, the Supervision Yuan still had a Leng Tou Qing imperial history like Lu Jian, maybe he would be impeached, so that the long-brewing waste storage turmoil was out of control.
"If the Zhen family wants to die, the mourning family will give her wine, but if she still knows each other, she is willing to ask for the abolition to persuade the prince to stop, and let her have no worries about food and clothing." Seeing that Yijing received the order, the Queen Mother expressed her attitude.
It was still like an aunt who went to the East Palace with the beautiful scenery, but the two of them arrived at the princess's bedroom, only to see a few attendants in front of the palace trembling and trembling, pinching their sleeves to wipe their sweat "one after another", the three princes went back and forth with their hands hanging their faces, and the crow-blue placket rose with the pace, and the whole person looked like he was so anxious that he was about to fly.
Yijing's steps stopped, and Aunt Ru looked at each other.
The third prince was reminded by the chamberlain, and only then did he look at it from the side, strode down the jade steps, his forehead was shining, and he opened his mouth to say: "I didn't stop it, let the prince break in, it's been half an hour." ”
View: ......
"Why is my sister-in-law here?" The third prince asked again.
"On the order of the Queen Mother, I came to visit the crown princess." Yi Jing said secretly, and only bowed slightly to the third prince: "I'll go in and take a look." ”
"Alas......" the third prince shouted, and as soon as his arm was raised, he was blocked by Aunt Ru in front of his hand in a timely manner.
The demon saw that Yi Jingtou entered the dormitory without looking back, and withdrew his hand and touched his neck: "Auntie, the princess is really impulsive, the prince and the princess are inside...... Who knows what they're doing......"
Ru's aunt couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Highness, you should dissuade the crown prince, the crown princess is under house arrest!" ”
"I did my best, the prince is better today, he walks without help, he stumbles and breaks in, the attendants knelt in a row earlier, and the prince actually flew into it, and his skills have never been so neat...... I think it's a concern for the crown princess, such as an aunt, this matter is still hidden from the saint, and it's not a big deal, the prince just wants to see the princess. Under the brilliant autumn sun, the face of the third prince was sincere, as if he and the prince were indeed in deep brotherhood, sympathizing with the prince and his wife, the pair of mandarin ducks were about to "live and die", and they were only thinking about the prince's position.
In the spacious and cool hall, the golden chair and jade screen are still gorgeous, and on the lightly hanging curtain, the golden silk peony is bright and dazzling, but here, it is already deserted, although the pace is slight, the beautiful scenery still seems to be able to hear the echo of the footsteps, and there is still a slight sobbing sound, which comes from the curtain that is blown open by the breeze on one side.
Walking outside the curtain, I heard the woman's choking more clearly, and the man's deep voice: "Madame has returned home safely, and those Diao slaves who framed you have also been executed, don't worry, with me one day, I will be able to keep you safe, you are my wife, I will not abandon you, as long as I am still the prince, I will protect your position as a concubine......"
Yijing lowered his eyes, looking at the ground carved with lotus, a gloomy color, and couldn't help but slander, although the prince was "deeply in love" with Zhen Lian, but with his ability, not only could he not keep Zhen Lian safe, such nonsense would force Zhen Lian to a desperate situation, Zhen Lian should have also thought of this, and there was no response at this time, only sobbing.
If the three princes take the opportunity to stab the saint, Zhen Lian will get three feet of white silk or a bowl of wine, and Mrs. Zhen, who has temporarily returned to the house, is afraid that it will be difficult to keep her peace, even if the Zhen family will not be implicated, Zhen Hou's title will not be guaranteed, Zhen Lian's brothers will not want to enter the office, the prince himself is difficult to protect, even if those promises are sincere, they are just lies.
The queen mother also knew in her heart that this time it must be the fourth child's means, but unfortunately Jian Qiu was killed by him...... However, the fourth child did not please him, and was slapped in the face by his father in front of the courtiers. ”
The scenery was completely speechless...... In other words, if she were Zhen Lian, she would be in a dead state at the moment - how could the queen put the prince in danger for a "sterilized" princess and the saint?
Concubine Yang's revenge of "burning jade" has made Zhen Lian a waste chess.
The prince is really ...... "pure heart".
Hearing this, Yijing moved out lightly, more confident to persuade Zhen Lian, and patiently waited outside for the prince's vow to end and pour out his heart.
