Chapter 61: The Beginning
Zichen Palace
"Your Majesty, Lord Meng asks to see you," Su Shunxian walked in and said in a low voice. To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to 800
Zong Zhengjin put down the red pen, "Announce quickly." ”
"Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor," Meng Wentian walked in and saluted.
Zong Zhengjin waved his hand, "No need to be polite, what is the result?"
"Wei Chen is fortunate to live up to his mission," Meng Wentian got up and showed a smile, even though his face was tired and dusty, he hurried back and came directly to the palace.
Zong Zhengjin also smiled a little, "Aiqing has worked hard. ”
"Weichen didn't dare to take credit, because the emperor had foresight," Meng Wentian said while taking out a few pieces of paper from his arms.
Zong Zhengjin ignored his flattery, took it and flipped a few pages, "If it's really the same as I expected, people can find it."
Meng Wentian shook his head, "When Weichen went, Aunt Xia had already passed away, she adopted an orphan, he said that Aunt Xia's last words were, don't complain, don't hate, you have to start your heart, this sentence Aunt Xia often hangs on her lips, it seems to be what her previous master said." ”
Meng Wentian carefully observed his expression, Aunt Xia was the palace maid who had been serving Concubine Xi before, and when Concubine Xi died, she was released from the palace while she was full of age, and she had been hiding all these years to avoid being chased by others.
It is said that it was Concubine Xi's last wish.
"Don't complain, don't hate, you have to start your heart," Zong Zhengjin muttered to himself, falling into a long memory.
"The Emperor"
"Do you know how the mother died"
Meng Wentian chuckled in his heart, "Back to the emperor, Concubine Xi Niangniang was indeed not infected with a vicious disease as claimed by the outside world and died, but was framed by others, and she was forced to break herself, and the way to break off was not her own choice."
"Go on."
Meng Wentian said a few words intermittently, and under his burning gaze, he had no choice but to continue, "It is the poison of breaking off the feelings, after being poisoned, the heartache will not stop until cardiac arrest, and it will take seven hours to live and live before he dies."
"Don't say it," Zong Zhengjin closed his eyes, quite weak.
He could imagine that night, the concubine lulled him to sleep early, and then stared at him by the bedside for a long time, and finally the concubine willingly drank the poison for him, and chose to leave in such an extremely painful way. Read the full text of the latest chapter
After a long time, Zong Zhengjin raised his head, "Are you sure it's only a few of them?"
Meng Wentian dared to continue to speak, "Back to the emperor, according to Weichen's investigation, Concubine Yu is only a participant, and the Queen Mother is the final mastermind, at that time, the concubines and concubines in the palace were all resentful of Concubine Xi's favor, so the two of them, together with the queen mother at the time, conspired to frame Concubine Xi Niangniang for being unchaste, and then the emperor was very angry, so he let Concubine Xi Niangniang ground."
Later, without waiting for Concubine Xi to wash away her grievances, Zong Zhengjin accidentally "ate" the dim sum and woke up in a coma for two days.
In the end, when he woke up, not only did he not find his mother, but was sent to the palace of the queen mother, who was still a virtuous concubine at the time.
There are many participants in this matter, and there are many people who know about it, but no one will report it, because everyone was extremely jealous of Concubine Xi at that time and hated to kill her, so the current Queen Mother won, won Concubine Xi's life, and also won her child.
"How much has Concubine Yu been involved" Zong Zhengjin was extremely distressed, but his tone was extremely calm.
Concubine Yu is the aunt of the current queen and the Yu family in the previous dynasty.
"I participated in the whole process, and the person who used to frame Concubine Xi's unchastity was the person who had a marriage contract with Concubine Xi's mother before, and it was also found by the Yu family"
Meng Wentian was a little embarrassed, Concubine Xi of the previous dynasty was just a woman brought back by the emperor when he was touring Jiangnan, and there was already a marriage contract at that time, but unfortunately the emperor's order was difficult to disobey and he was forced to enter the palace.
Such an innocent and beautiful woman attracted the emperor, there was almost no suspense, she enjoyed the endless favor of the emperor, and attracted the jealousy of other concubines, but unfortunately in the end, she was killed in the end.
He is now almost the age of his establishment, and he still remembers that when he was young, he entered the palace as an attendant for the emperor who was still the seventh prince at that time, and he was fortunate to see such a woman, looking at the city, and then looking at the country, even if he was still young at the time, he still knew that it was the beauty mentioned in the poem, and after that, he had never seen a more beautiful woman than that.
It was a small bird flying under the vast sky outside, and it should have seen this colorful world, but it was unable to defeat the emperor's order, so he had to enter the palace and be a canary with broken wings in the red wall.
"How is that family now?"
"At that time, the emperor was very angry, so he impulsively beheaded all over the house, and now no one is left."
Zong Zhengjin laughed angrily, when the mother concubine was still there, his father came to visit their mother and son almost every day, and occasionally stayed overnight at night, he was young at the time, he only knew that his father was very good to him, and he was also very good to his mother, and the mother concubine was smiling and extremely happy when her father came.
Sometimes, when his father was away, his mother would let him sleep with him, and he was only immersed in his own excitement, completely ignoring why the sorrow between his mother's eyebrows and eyes came from.
Such a woman, so beautiful, widowed, was framed for being unchaste, his good father not only did not choose to believe her, but he knew what might happen after the grounding, but still let the mother concubine face it alone, and even knew that the man was an important evidence to prove the innocence of the mother concubine, and still chose to behead him.
Is it the deep hatred of love, or just for the dignity of the emperor, he does not hesitate to hurt such a woman who loves him wholeheartedly.
"The emperor wants to implement our plan"
"No," Zong Zhengjin refused without even thinking about it, "I want to redress my mother's grievances and clear my name, and those people will keep their dog's life first." ”
Now that the "adulterer" is dead, the only people who can prove the innocence of the mother concubine are those who framed the mother concubine.
After enduring humiliation for more than 20 years, he has endured so far, and it is impossible to fall short in the last step.
"Wei Chen understands," Meng Wentian said in a solemn tone.
Zong Zhengjin glanced at his stern waiting, "I have a few things that I need you to do. ”
Meng Wentian leaned over and listened carefully to his instructions, if he could, he was willing to do his best to do a little bit for such a beautiful woman, even if it was insignificant.
Zong Zhengjin watched his back leave, no resentment, no hatred, do you have to start your heart
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of November, and Su Jingxi's injuries had healed, and she had made up too much every day these days, and she obviously noticed that she had gained some weight and grown taller.
She has been in the palace for less than a year, and there are no old clothes, only a few sets of clothes made in accordance with the winter last month, but they are a little small, Zong Zhengjin waved her hand and asked people to redo them, so she is standing here now and re-measuring the size.
"Master, you have really grown a lot taller," Ting Yao helped her measure the size, and said excitedly, she had served her master for many years, and she knew that growing taller had always been her master's ideal, even if she didn't understand it.
In her opinion, it is normal for women to be shorter than men, and petite ones are the most suitable.
Su Jingxi gestured between herself and her, and chuckled, "Of course, but you don't have to make a lot of these clothes, just pick and make a few enough to wear, anyway, the concubine will be longer, otherwise you won't be able to wear it after the New Year." ”
"Yes, the slave will go to the monk service bureau later."
Su Jingxi glanced at the sky outside, "This concubine wants to eat pot at night, and the emperor doesn't know if he will come today."
Ting Yao and the others obviously didn't know, and Su Jingxi didn't want to get an answer from her, "Let's use the old mushroom soup base and prepare more fresh ingredients." ”
"The slave and maid understand, and I will go to explain to the people in the kitchen later," Yao responded.
When the emperor promised the master to add a small kitchen, he also sent a cook and a few people who were good at making dim sum and food, because they still only served on the master's side, and no one managed the kitchen.
At the moment, Zong Zhengjin still didn't come, and there was no news that he had gone to other palaces, and Su Jingxi didn't dare to send someone to ask privately.
Sitting at the table with her hands on her cheeks, she glanced at the bubbling soup base in front of her, the aroma was overflowing, and the thick soup made her want to eat it just thinking about it.
"Master, wait a little longer, maybe the emperor will come in a while," Hearing Yao's eyes, she knew what she was thinking, so she immediately persuaded.
Su Jingxi's eyes were still focused, "Maybe the emperor has already eaten it." ”
"How do you know I've eaten" Zong Zhengjin heard her words when he walked to the door, meaning to eat by himself without waiting for him.
Su Jingxi immediately came to her senses when she heard this, and stood up with her legs, "Concubine see the emperor," the movement of the blessed body is amazingly slow.
Zong Zhengjin felt funny in his heart, and helped her according to her wishes, "No need to be polite." ”
"The concubine said that she was happy, but she didn't say it was certain, your majesty, the concubine didn't wait for you to get to the soup pot prepared by Motete, and it was most comfortable to eat this in winter."
Zong Zhengjin glanced at it, in fact, he didn't have much interest in these things, as an emperor, he was not addicted to eating, drinking, and having fun, and was strict with himself, which was his determination to himself very early.
There are only three bites of food, no sound when drinking soup, no teeth when eating, no words for eating, and everything that is shown in every gesture must be absolutely standardized, symbolizing the dignity of the royal family.
It's just that, since he came here a lot, he has long been destroyed to a mess, there was a special eunuch cloth vegetable supervisor before, and now people have long been driven away by him, and when the two of them eat, he is used to not having outsiders present.
