Chapter 583: Go to the Queen
Liu Xin also racked his brains to come up with such a compromise statement. not only revealed the truth of the matter to the emperor, but also showed his loyalty, so as not to blatantly sue the empress.
The Emperor nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself, "So, during my coma, someone poured me with tranquilizers?" ”
As he spoke, he rolled his neck, and a cold light appeared in his eyes: "My body is fine, why did I sleep for so long?" “
Liu Xin looked at it again, made a bitter face, and hurriedly cleared up the relationship. His voice trembled a little: "The minister doesn't know, the tranquilizer is just the minister's guess." ”
The emperor was not embarrassed by him, and said in a low voice: "Liu Xin, you go to the imperial doctor's room in person, and you must find Imperial Doctor Hao." Saying this, he didn't seem to be at ease, and added: "Don't alarm others!" ”
"Yes! Emperor! Liu Xin promised and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Liu Xin strode on the royal road leading to the Imperial Doctor's Room. He wondered in his heart, the emperor is so strange? It's just a royal doctor. Just call a little eunuch to run errands, and you want him to go out in person? The key is that the emperor specially explained that he must not alarm others.
He thought about it again, just now in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor behaved, and his demeanor, movements, and tone of voice were more domineering than usual. Moreover, the emperor's eyes clearly concealed a murderous intention.
Could it be that the emperor is going to start settling accounts after the autumn? Take Imperial Doctor Hao to operate first? Liu Xin suddenly came up with a thought, when will the emperor be ruthless to deal with the queen!
He then shuddered and shook his head to chase away the terrible thought. He is very helpless, he wants the emperor to deal with the queen and the Xia family, how easy is it to talk about?
When Liu Xin was walking on the royal road and thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the familiar voice of King Yong'an in his ears.
"Cousin Wen Xuan, don't be angry, you listen to my explanation!"
Hearing this, Liu Xin's mind instantly sobered up, he raised his eyes, and saw that on the royal road ahead, Xia Wenxuan and King Yongan were walking one after the other.
It seems that Xia Wenxuan has a straight face, his cheeks bulging, and he looks extremely annoyed, so he just walks forward with his head down, completely ignoring the King of Yong'an behind him.
In this scene, it is not difficult to guess that King Yongan offended Xia Wenxuan, and at this time he was coaxing her in a low voice.
Liu Xinke was embarrassed, seeing that the two of them were about to come this way, did he want to salute King Yong'an? If he saluted, wouldn't he break through the embarrassment of King Yong'an, which would embarrass King Yong'an. It is estimated that King Yong'an does not want people to see this scene.
He pondered that even if he saluted, King Yong'an would not have the heart to deal with him. It's better to simply pretend to see it. What's more, he still had the emperor's entrustment, so he had to lower his head and walk quickly to the imperial doctor's room.
In this way, the three of them passed by. He did the right thing, and King Yong'an didn't notice him. At this moment, King Yong'an only has Xia Wenxuan in his eyes, how can he see other things.
Sure enough, as Liu Xin expected, King Yongan and Xia Wenxuan were indeed awkward. The two of them originally reached a consensus on the matter of saving Chu Tiankuo.
Xia Wenxuan's love for Chu Tiankuo was unswerving, and she did not hesitate to go against the wishes of her father and aunt, and tried her best to save Chu Tiankuo, wanting to settle the matter for him.
King Yong'an was entrusted by Xia Wenxuan, no, more importantly, he had a brotherly affection for the imperial brother Chu Tiankuo, and he also tried his best to save Chu Tiankuo. On the execution ground, he told the truth, not malicious, let alone intentional.
But because of his words, the situation was reversed and the imperial brother Chu Tiankuo was sent to the prison of Dali Temple again. The conscience of heaven and earth, he never meant to say so.
In fact, even if there were no words from King Yong'an, his mother and those courtiers would have put pressure on his father and emperor not to send Chu Tiankuo to the prison of Dali Temple.
It's just that Xia Wenxuan was angry with King Yong'an because of this. The two left the execution ground, and it was rare that they had the same idea, and they both had to go to the queen.
However, the Tao is the same, and the plan is different. Along the way, no matter how King Yong'an pleased, Xia Wenxuan just ignored him.
No, it's nothing to ignore him, Xia Wenxuan even ignored the identity of King Yongan as a prince, and scolded him for scolding him. What' you mean and shameless villain, I misread you. I thought you were going to save Gongzi Chu, but I didn't expect that you would stab him in the back at a critical moment. And so on.
Anyway, it's extremely ugly to say, and it's unbearable.
King Yong'an didn't have the slightest temper, and his hippie smile was all suffered. He felt that he was quite wronged, he was not such a person at all.
If a man truly loves a woman, he will care about her feelings and endure her temper.
King Yongan has such a deep understanding at the moment, and he endured Xia Wenxuan's misunderstanding and abuse. He licked his face and tried to explain to her.
"Cousin Wen Xuan, this matter is indeed my fault. I don't know that if I say that, I will let the imperial brother enter the Dali Temple prison again. If I could, I wouldn't have said that. King Yong'an looked sneered and said aggrievedly.
"Of course it's your fault." Xia Wenxuan finally turned her head, gritted her teeth and said, "You have the same heart as your aunt." How can he help Chu Gongzi? Now it's okay, Chu Gongzi has entered the prison of Dali Temple again, are you satisfied? Now, isn't it too late for you to talk about that? ”
A series of questions weighed on King Yong'an's heart, and he sighed lowly: "Cousin Wen Xuan, don't worry. I really help the royal brother, so I'll go to my queen mother and see what she has to say. I will do my best to persuade the queen mother to dispel her prejudice against the royal brother. “
Listening to King Yong'an's sincere words, Xia Wenxuan's face softened: "Cousin, do you really want to save Gongzi Chu?" ”
King Yong'an said with a smile: "Let's go, when you see my mother in a while, you can see my performance." ”
He tried to smile at her, but it was so reluctant that he couldn't convince his mother. He can only do his best, and if he can't, he will find another way.
It's pretty much the same, let's believe in King Yong'an again. Xia Wenxuan was skeptical, and her heart relaxed slightly. She can only choose to believe in King Yong'an. Except for King Yong'an, she didn't know who to ask for help.
In this palace, if there is no King Yong'an to support her, I am afraid she will be struggling. Although her aunt loved her, since that time in the imperial garden, she heard the old stories of the queen's aunt and the emperor's uncle, and her aunt had not treated her as much as before.
She thinks that her aunt loves King Yongan very much, and if King Yongan helps Chu Tiankuo say a good word in front of her aunt, she can say ten words to her.
Xia Wenxuan can see that the person who really wants to put Chu Tiankuo to death is her aunt. As long as he can persuade his aunt to let go and resolve his aunt's hatred and prejudice against Chu Tiankuo, then Chu Tiankuo will be safe.
Otherwise, even if Chu Tiankuo's case is heard and acquitted, there is no guarantee that the queen's aunt will not think of other ways to deal with him.
If you want to talk about her father, he is so afraid of his aunt, as long as his aunt lets go, his father will not dare to make waves again. After all, Chu Tiankuo has already been confirmed to be the prince, how can her father get the prince?
Thinking about it this way, Xia Wenxuan has a clear idea, and the key lies in her aunt. She was confident that she was not sure enough to convince her aunt, but she had great confidence in King Yong'an. As long as King Yong'an comes forward, it is very likely to resolve the contradiction between Chu Tiankuo and his aunt.
She can only pin her hopes on King Yong'an for now. If that doesn't work, she'll do it herself. Although she has a way to help Chu Tiankuo get rid of the crime, the case is very involved, and she really doesn't want to do it unless she has to.
Well, Xia Wenxuan just thought so, and unconsciously, she and King Yong'an came to Tianfeng Palace.
The queen sat on the phoenix chair in the Tianfeng Palace, sipping tea leisurely and enjoying delicious refreshments. Looking at her face full of spring breeze, she seems to be in a good mood. Of course, she could be in a bad mood.
"Queen Mother!"
Suddenly, a clear male voice mixed with unknown emotions entered the queen's eardrums, it was her emperor's voice, and she was extremely familiar with it. She raised her eyes and looked at the entrance of the hall, only to see An'er and Xuan'er coming together.
A little far apart, the queen couldn't see the looks on the faces of the two clearly. She thought of the emperor's unexpected performance on the execution ground, and finally helped her to send Chu Tiankuo to Dali Temple for trial, she couldn't help but smile.
On weekdays, when King Yong'an comes to Tianfeng Palace, he will let the palace maid come in and report in advance. It's the first time I've broken in like this. This really frightened the palace maids in the hall. But seeing the two of them coming violently, as if they were coming towards the queen's theory, where the two walked through, there was a gust of wind behind them.
In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.
After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.
"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."
"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”
This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.
Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.
She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.
At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.
Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.
Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”
"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.
Xu Guifei fainted.
The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.
After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.
In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.
Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.
In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.
For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.
Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.
Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.
"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.
"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.
"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.
