Chapter Seventy-Six: The Death of Concubine Li

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Empress Xiahou Jingyao spoke softly.

"The Queen has something to say." Emperor Yuchen suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

"The concubine thinks that Concubine Li's sister didn't mean to fake pregnancy to compete for favor, it must be that her sister herself didn't know."

"Hmph, the queen wants to excuse her, she is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and she also does such things as fake pregnancy and competition for favor." The Queen Mother opened her mouth coldly, and Emperor Yuchen became even more angry, and shouted angrily, "Come on, Concubine Li will be the concubine, and you will be grounded in Xinmeng Palace, and you will not be allowed to see you without an edict, so pull it out." With a wave of Emperor Yuchen's long sleeves, the guards pulled down the crying Concubine Li.

Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to speak loudly, so they could only silently look at Emperor Yuchen on the seat.

"Emperor, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't spoil everyone's interest because of one person, and it's better to be disappointed now than disappointed in ten months, and the mourning family also hopes that you don't blame Ruoyi." The Queen Mother said softly.

"Yes, Queen Mother. In fact, I didn't blame Ruoyi, she is the miracle doctor of my country and the pride of Yunshang. Emperor Yuchen said softly.

"Then the mourning family will be relieved, after all, they will be a family in the future."

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, everyone began to whisper again, speculating about the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, they will all be a family in the future, could it be that the Queen Mother intends to let Ling Ruoyi enter the palace as a concubine? Or do you want to marry King Qi?

"What does the queen mean?" Emperor Yuchen spoke slowly.

"Fang Caiqi'er told the mourning family that he likes Ling Ruoyi, the concubine of Ling Xiangfu, very much, and the mourning family also likes this child very much, not only is he beautiful, but he is also very smart and kind, and he has superb medical skills, but the new year is not suitable for marriage, bring a good day in the new year, and the mourning family will give them a marriage."

"Well, I also think that Brother Qi and Miss Ling are a match made in heaven, so according to the will of the queen mother, I will find a good day and make a decree to marry after the year." Although Emperor Yuchen has all kinds of reluctance in his heart, as the king of a country, it is always difficult for him to rob his own brother of a woman, and he also knows very well that his royal brother and Ling Ruohui are in love, maybe as long as he loves someone as long as he sees her happy, he is also happy, or the definition of loving a person is to let go when it is time to let go.

Emperor Yuchen nodded slightly at Wanquan, and Wanquan shouted outside: "The emperor has a decree, pass on the food ......." I watched the palace maids and eunuchs slowly walk into the Mingse Hall like a long dragon with delicious food.

When the palace maid brought a white jade hoof flower to the queen's table, the queen suddenly felt very nauseous and wanted to vomit, and Emperor Yuchen saw this and said with concern: "What's wrong with the queen, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the concubine is fine, but I was a little disgusting when I smelled this hoof flower just now."

"Feeling disgusting? Is there a problem with the meal? Foolproof! Emperor Yuchen said sharply.

"Your Majesty......" Wanquan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

"Is there a problem with the diet?" Emperor Yuchen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked coldly at Wanquan Dao.

"Your Majesty, the meals have been tested, and there is no problem. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask Miss Ling to check it. "Cowardly words.

"Okay, Ruoyi, you check if there is any problem with the queen's meal."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ling Ruohui got up slowly, walked to the queen, and took out a silver needle from the needle box in her sleeve, there was no problem with any meal, but the queen only felt disgusted by the more greasy hoof flowers, thinking about this, Ling Ruohui said softly, "Niangniang, please give me your hand." ”

The queen stretched out her hand to Ling Ruoyi. After a while, I saw a shallow smile on the woman's mouth, and saluted to the emperor: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to the queen mother, there is no problem with the queen's meal, and the mother feels that the hoof flower is disgusting, which is a normal reaction of pregnant women." ”

"What? Are you saying the queen is happy? Emperor Yuchen looked surprised, Fang is Concubine Li's fake pregnancy, and now the queen is really pregnant, which is too exciting.

"Yes, Your Majesty, because the mother has only been pregnant for more than a month, it is not easy to notice. And the mother must avoid the food, like the longan, peach, yellow eel, crab that the courtiers said, these are the foods that pregnant women need to avoid, and the mother must keep it in mind. ”

"So, what can Hongu eat? What to eat to be good for the child in the womb? The queen opened her mouth like a cannon.

"Niangniang doesn't need to worry, later the courtiers will draw up a recipe for pregnant women for you, as long as Niangniang eats according to the recipe, the child in the womb will be healthy."

"Okay, okay, then the child in the womb of the palace and the palace will ask my cousin." Xiahou Jingyao said happily.

"Queen, according to me, you might as well let Ruoyi live in the palace, and live in Fengyi Pavilion, so that you can take care of your body, and she will diagnose the pulse every day, so that I can rest assured."

As soon as Emperor Yuchen's words came out, Ling Ruohui wanted to refuse, but King Qi took a step ahead of her and said: "Brother Huang, it's better not to let Xian'er live in the palace, she was injured in the palace last time, this king is very worried, it is better to have this king personally take her into the palace every day to diagnose the pulse of the imperial sister-in-law, and then send her out of the palace by this king, although it is a little troublesome, but for the health of the child in the imperial sister-in-law's womb and the safety of Yi'er, this king does not mind working harder." ”

King Qi's words are equivalent to blocking the road of Emperor Yuchen, in short, he will not let his Yi'er live in the palace, if he must live, he will follow him into the palace together, and watch Xi'er tightly, so as not to be coveted.

"Uh......, well, it's just hard work." Emperor Yuchen glanced at King Qi coldly and said.

"For the sake of the royal brother's heirs, this king is not afraid of hard work."

The queen is happy, it is a matter of celebration for the whole country, Ling Ruohui was appointed by Emperor Yuchen as the queen's imperial doctor, and the queen's meals every day are made by Ling Ruohui in the kitchen of the queen's palace, never pretending to others. Suddenly, Ling Ruoyi became a hot sweetheart.

In the Xinmeng Palace, Concubine Li was sitting decadently beside the dresser and secretly hurt herself, and the personal palace maid Yu'er walked in with pastries and tea, and saw Concubine Li who was so upper, said softly, "Niangniang, don't be too sad, the emperor is just angry for a while, and when the emperor is angry, he will naturally come to see you." ”

"No, the emperor said that I was fake pregnant to compete for favor, and leaving me in this Xinmeng Palace and ignoring it is equivalent to entering the cold palace."

"Don't be sad, it's all to blame on Ling Ruoxi, and the queen, they sang and harmonized, now the emperor knows that the queen is pregnant, and let Ling Ruoyi take care of the queen in person until the queen gives birth. Now that Ling Ruoyi is in the palace, she is very angry. ”

"Ling Ruoyi, this little slut, last time the palace didn't borrow the foolish hand of Concubine Liu to kill her, it was really a mistake. Now she can climb to the head of the palace as a prestige, how willing is the palace. ”

"Niangniang, if we buy the palace maids and eunuchs of Fengluan Palace, let them drop fetal pills in the queen's meal, so that the queen will lose her son, and Ling Ruoyi will not be able to get rid of it."

"No, then Ling Ruoyi's palace really underestimated her, I thought she didn't have any ability, but I didn't expect that she was so young that her medical skills were higher than the old imperial doctors in the palace, we have to think of other ways."

"Niangniang, there is a spell to tie the villain in the slave's hometown, as long as you make a puppet, and then write the person's birthday on the puppet's body, and prick the needle at the puppet at midnight every day, you can make the person die silently."

"Really? Okay, hurry up and prepare, this palace wants the queen and Ling Ruoyi to die. Concubine Li was as happy as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

After a while, the palace maid Yu'er walked in with a piece of snow satin, "Niangniang, this is what you want." ”

"Well, you make two puppets for this palace, and this palace will curse them every day."

"Niangniang, the slave thinks that you just need to be the queen, if the queen has something, Ling Ruoyi is responsible, why waste our time."

"Well, okay, then listen to you." Concubine Li thought for a moment and agreed to do so.

Concubine Li cursed the puppet with the queen's birthday at midnight all day long, and did not let Yu'er run to Fengluan Palace every three days to inquire about the news, but two months passed without effect.

On this night, the queen suddenly felt unwell in fetal movements, and the emperor hurriedly sent the condor in the Thunder Flying Eagle to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up Ling Ruohui into the palace, and after Ling Ruohong entered the palace, he carefully checked the queen's pulse, and just smiled lightly: "The emperor and the queen don't have to worry, the fetus is very healthy, and the fetal movement is normal, which shows that the child is very healthy." ”

Yu'er only heard that the queen's fetal movement was very uncomfortable, thinking that the witch Gu had worked, and excitedly ran back to Xinmeng Palace to report the news, Concubine Li heard that the queen's fetal movement was uncomfortable, so she hurried to Fengluan Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he shouted loudly, "Bold Ling Ruoyi, you dare to murder the emperor's heir, you are guilty." As soon as Concubine Li spoke, she was very puzzled, the queen's fetal movement was a normal reaction during pregnancy, and even the doctor said that it didn't matter, why would Concubine Li say such a thing, and she usually didn't agree with the queen at all, this play was too fake.

"Niangniang, the courtiers did not murder the emperor's heir, why did Niangniang detain me for this great crime of extermination."

"And said no, so why does the queen's sister keep moving, this palace sees that you are afraid of being exposed that you did not take good care of the queen, and you are looking for an excuse for yourself."

"Niangniang, you are in Xinmeng Palace, the queen is in Fengyi Palace, although it is far away, but the matter of the queen's mother's fetal movement is only known to the emperor and the people in Fengluan Palace, I don't know how Niangniang knew that the queen's fetus is not moving?" Ling Ruoyi deftly shifted her focus to Concubine Li.

"You still quibble, this palace, this palace is to listen to the palace maid." Concubine Li pretended to be calm.

"Niangniang, the courtiers entered the palace not by the eunuchs, but the emperor sent the eldest brother of the eagle to take me into the palace, except for the close palace maid of Fengyi Palace, outsiders do not know, is it not Niangniang, what did you do to the queen, this is why the thief shouted to catch the thief."

"You, this palace doesn't have it, this palace doesn't understand medical skills, how can you harm the queen." Concubine Li pretended to be calm.

"The courtiers didn't say that only those who understand medical skills can harm people, and there are many ways to harm people, which can be other or something."

"Hmph, don't think about framing this palace, this palace doesn't understand what poison is. Medicine, I don't know what a witch Gu is, you don't want to set a trap for this palace. ”

"Witch?" Emperor Yuchen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the concubine ......" Concubine Li knew that she had said the wrong thing, but what could she do if the words had already been spoken.

"Wanquan, you follow the Ouchi guards to Xinmeng Palace to search." Emperor Yuchen opened his mouth coldly, and Concubine Li on the side had already fallen to the ground, and she was in a mess.

After about two cups of tea, the Ouchi guards held the puppet found in the Xinmeng Palace and presented it to Emperor Yuchen, who saw that the puppet had the queen's birthday written on it, and those needles were inserted in the belly of the puppet.

"Li Feixu, you slut, dare to curse the queen." Emperor Yuchen slammed the puppet in his hand on Concubine Li's face, and continued: "Come on, drag it down, and give Bai Aya." ”

No matter how Concubine Li cried, Emperor Yuchen was unmoved, the queen was pregnant with his first son, the future prince, Concubine Li was not only guilty of cursing the queen, but also murdering the prince, no one expected Emperor Yuchen to be so angry.

With the death of Concubine Li, the Li family was also beheaded, and since then, the Li family and the royal family have no peace in the past, and a bigger conspiracy has slowly surfaced......
