Chapter 140: The Truth (II)
Ji Guiren himself didn't wait to understand anything, but he was fainted by the menstrual pain that he had to experience every time, and at that time, the Yuyan Palace didn't know which person was next to him and said, Ji Guiren's little master was red, so the entire Yuyan Palace was panicked, until Gu Xingyi, the imperial doctor who was invited later, took Ji Guiren's pulse, and asked people to quickly send Ji Guiren to a room that would not see the wind to be carefully treated.
And after Ji Guiren woke up for the first time, he was also heartbroken because he had no child, but after all, his body was his own, and he soon realized that he was not a miscarriage at all, but just a menstrual affair. In a panic, Ji Guiren sent a personal palace maid to Gu Xingyi to verify the reason for his lie, but it turned out that he saw Gu Xingyi in Jinse Palace.
Although Ji Guiren didn't see Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing asked Du Ruo to send a message to the personal palace maid, about the miscarriage and loss of a child, Ji Guiren just bit it and didn't let go, Gu Xingyi will definitely cover things tightly, Du Ruo also told her that if Ji Guiren herself first turned back and admitted that she was a fake pregnancy and a fake miscarriage, then is it possible for her to get the favor of the saint again?
So Ji Guiren made a decision after thinking about it for a short period of time, if she continued to hide it, she might still have a way to live, and she would be favored by the saints, but if she took the initiative to confess, she was afraid that the ending would be miserable.
The lesser of two evils.
He Chang'an was silent, if what this little palace maid said was true, then Concubine Qing had only one purpose, to nail Concubine Ni tightly, in this case, the four princes would also lose the favor of the saint because of Concubine Ni's guilt.
And it is nothing wrong if a biological mother like Lu Cheng died of illness, if Lu really died because of Ni Concubine's guilt, there is really no possibility of inheriting the unification, and it is really rare to be an idle prince.
He Chang'an's hatred for Lu Yuan was a little more, if Lu Cheng was quite competitive compared to him, what about Lu Cheng? Maybe Lu Lu was a talented and smart child, but he really had to make this decision to his own brothers, especially his own brothers who were not at the same starting point at all?
After the palace maid explained everything she knew, she thought about kowtowing to the queen and He Changan a few more times to beg for mercy: "The queen mother spares her life, the princess of Qin spares her life, the slave maid is just a maid who serves the Ji nobles closely, the master has a life, and the slave and maid can't help but obey ah, you two will see that the slave and maid took the initiative to hand over the evidence of the Ji nobleman's guilt and meritorious service, and open up to the slave and maid." ”
Empress Chen waved her hand, let Xiju draw a charge against the palace maid, and then let people temporarily escort her down.
He Changan was a little surprised: "Niangniang is doing this, isn't she going to let this palace maid confront Ji Guiren?"
Empress Chen smiled: "You should be able to see that this palace maid is not a person who is desperate for Ji Guiren, if she is really desperate, I am afraid that Imperial Doctor Jiang's little intimidation and threat will not have any effect at all." But the confession made by such a person also has a weakness, that is, she will inevitably increase the guilt of the noble person in order to exonerate herself. ”
Empress Chen didn't continue to speak, but He Changan understood, just like the kind of dead heart she had for Lu Yuan in the previous life, even when Yan Qing Palace suffered the wrath of the saint and the punishment of whipping, she never opened her mouth to confide half a word of Lu Yuan.
But the confession of the palace maid is one thing, the important thing is to look at the attitude of the saint towards Ni Concubine and Ji Guiren, the matter has come to this point, the palace maid's right witness and those blood-stained clothes and pants are enough to prove Ni Concubine's innocence, but how to convict Ji Guiren and how to deal with Concubine Qing behind him, in fact, it is difficult.
Not to mention anything else, Concubine Qing is the biological mother of King Yu and the four princes, and she has the support of the Queen Mother, and her qualifications in the palace are already the oldest.
The queen's meaning is that she can't interfere too much in this matter, everything depends on what the saint means, as for her, she will watch it on the wall.
Empress Chen stood up, Xiju hurried up to hold her hand and walked out step by step, the queen walked to He Chang'an's side: "Let's go, I think there should be free over there when I think I come here, you have been here in the palace for so long, I am afraid that your prince will mutter, thinking that the palace is going to do something to you! Besides, you should also go and toast Your Majesty with a cup of daughter-in-law tea." ”
As he spoke, he took Xiju's hand and walked out, He Changan hesitated slightly, and went out behind the queen.
After going out, sure enough, there were already the queen's phoenix and the princess's sedan chair waiting at the gate of Fengqi Palace, He Changan said secretly. The queen is indeed the queen, and the people around her are also well-trained.
When I arrived at Yanqing Palace, the sky was already a little dark, and the emperor was not seen in the main hall of Yanqing Palace.
As a result, after He Changan followed the queen in, he saw Lu Cheng walking back and forth anxiously there, and the queen signaled the eunuch guarding the door to silence, and Lu Cheng didn't even notice that the queen was coming.
By the time Lu Cheng found the queen, the queen had already stood beside her for half a pillar of incense, Lu Cheng was stunned, and hurriedly asked An Dao: "Erchen to the queen to say goodbye." ”
Then I saw Chang'an beside the queen, and the gloomy clouds on his face finally dispersed, but he was still able to hold on, and followed Queen Chen's half-serious and half-joking words: "Niangniang will not bring the He family to ask his father for peace, and the sons really want to think that the mother is going to accept the He family as a daughter to live in Fengqi Palace." ”
Empress Chen also replied with the same attitude: "This palace looks at your daughter-in-law, but it fits the eyes of this palace very well. But you are newly married, if this palace really snatches your daughter-in-law away, won't you come to Fengqi Palace to find this palace and work hard?"
Lu Cheng made a fuss: "It's still my mother who understands me." However, Erchen also felt that it was a blessing to be able to marry a princess like He's who was favored by his mother. ”
Looking at the two people laughing, He Changan was just silent, Lu Cheng and Queen Chen were not easy, one was widowed at a young age, and the other was impossible to have their own children for a lifetime, the two of them might get along very well, but in Lu Cheng's heart, no matter how good Queen Chen was, it was impossible to be Queen Rui, so when they were affectionate, they always had a little alienation, but the two of them always had to carefully maintain this intimacy, and not let it be broken by that little alienation.
The queen should actually know what Lu Cheng thinks in her heart, but looking at Lu Cheng's every time she is not called "queen mother" but "queen mother", you can see that Lu Cheng's heart is already clear, but the queen is not broken, maybe it is just such a little bit of mother-son love, and it is also the queen who chats to comfort the loneliness of the deep palace, right?
He Changan suddenly thought in his heart, maybe on the one hand, the balance in Lu Cheng's heart is always in favor of Queen Herui, the biological mother, and on the other hand, Lu Cheng is inevitably a little careless as a man, and maybe he can't realize the desire in the queen's heart, but she is also a woman, but she can understand the queen's thoughts very well.
Maybe she can have a chance to make up for what Lu Cheng didn't realize he didn't realize.
When He Chang'an was thinking silently, he saw the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walk out, with a little fatigue on his face, followed by King Jing, who was a few years younger than the emperor, probably because King Jing didn't have to work hard for state affairs like the emperor, so although the actual age was only a few years younger than the emperor, he could hardly see a little old.
Sure enough, people say that King Jing walks birds and looks at flowers, that is really comfortable!
Although the emperor's face could see that he was very tired, He Chang'an, who had served the emperor for many years in the previous life, knew that the emperor should not be angry at this moment.
The queen stepped forward, and she didn't know what to say in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's face changed slightly.
can make the emperor's originally unangry face a little angry, it should be that the queen told the emperor the clues she found today.
Empress Chen hurriedly added next to her: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to get angry, after all, being angry will hinder the dragon's body." This is just the testimony of a palace maid, the concubine and Concubine Qing have known each other for more than ten years, and Concubine Qing and Concubine Qing also know each other very well, so they will not do such a thing. It's a Ji nobleman, and the concubines are not familiar with it, and the Ji nobles are Nan'an after all, if the testimony of this palace maid is to wronged the Ji nobles, the concubines feel that it seems unlikely that they are possible. ”
The emperor snorted, and didn't answer Empress Chen's words, and seemed to have more of his own plans: "This matter, Brother Cheng talked a lot with me when he came to ask for peace today, and the second brother also talked a lot with me when he came to me, since this matter involves Nan'an and the Ji nobles who came in person, it is no longer a simple harem matter, and it seems inappropriate to hand it over to the queen to deal with it with full authority, and I will naturally handle it properly." ”
Then it was as if he had just seen He Chang'an behind the queen's side: "You are Brother Cheng'er's newlywed princess He yesterday, and Gongchang Bohe's eldest daughter?"
He Chang'an panicked in his heart, glanced at Lu Cheng who was standing beside him, and had a little courage in an instant, and said to Emperor Longqing: "Daughter-in-law He, please say hello to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an." ”
