"The queen spares her life, and the slave has done nothing." The palace maid knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "The slave maid just helped Ping'er change the wine glass, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen, the slave and maid were wronged." ”

"Ping'er?" The queen grabbed a name.

"Ping'er is the palace maid of the Golden Shake Hall like me, and she was originally in charge of the concubine, but just now you said that you were not feeling well and asked me to take care of it, and the result was like this."

The palace maid's trembling voice has been justifying.

"Someone, go and bring the palace maid named Ping'er." The queen had a general understanding of the situation, and she didn't know if it was true or not, but she would understand it by asking someone to bring it over for interrogation and interrogation.

"Niangniang, someone is trying to frame the concubine." Concubine Shu listened to these beside her, and what else she didn't understand, that is, someone wanted to borrow her hand to make the concubine miscarry, so as to punish herself.

But where do you dare, I was warned by my aunt, this is the first time I hold the palace power, where do I dare to think about it more.

After a while, Father-in-law Gao came back, his face panicked, and he knelt on the ground: "Queen Mother, Ping'er hanged herself in the room." ”

Then, the person next to him came out with a hundred taels of silver: "Niangniang, this is found in Ping'er's house." ”

"Is there any other evidence?" The queen sat on the upper seat, staring at the kneeling people below, and her voice was very cold.

"No other evidence was found."

"So the clue is broken?"

The queen stared at the people below, and there was anger in her tone: "That's what you guys do? Where is Tan Sishan? ”

Tan Sishan knelt out tremblingly: "Niangniang atoned for her sins, the slave and maid really don't know the situation." ”

"Someone came, Tan Sishan neglected his duties, and he was punished with ten sticks to set an example." The queen knows that there must be a result in this matter, and now in this situation, she can only punish small punishments and admonish a lot, and manage more.

"Concubine Shu's mistake this time will be fined for three months." When the queen left, she looked back at the pale concubine, said the punishment and left.

Concubine Shu glanced at Tan Sishan hatefully, and also left. But she did not go back to the palace directly, but came to Xiang'an Palace.

"Auntie, who the hell wants to blame me?" Concubine Shu sat down very angrily, and even the palace maid next to her hurriedly retreated after handing the tea, for fear of being implicated in anger.

Originally, the Queen Mother didn't want to get in touch with these, and even felt that Ming Rong's recent affairs were so annoying that she didn't even go to the palace banquet, and she never thought that there was something waiting for her.

Just now, Emperor Yongchang sent someone to pass on the message: "It was said that it was promised, why is there still a situation happening now, and the concubine was almost killed, is this the promise of the queen mother?" It's better not to make such a promise, it's because I look at the queen mother. ”

These words pierced the heart of the Empress Dowager He, making her feel unhappy and uneasy.

"Shan'an, if you go to investigate this matter, you must give the mourning family a result." Empress Dowager He instructed Aunt Shan'an beside her, this person is Empress Dowager He's companion, and she will never let her make a move on weekdays, she and the Queen Mother are like sisters, even the princess and the prince have to call Aunt Shan'an when they see it.

It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. But someone wanted to borrow Concubine Shu's hand and want to cause Ming Rong to have a miscarriage, which was what Empress Dowager He couldn't bear. On the surface, it is to let Concubine Shu take the blame, but secretly it is not to let the He family take the blame. This kind of thing has already violated the bottom line of the Empress Dowager He, if you don't investigate it carefully, who knows what people will have to do in the future.

"Aunt Shan'an will definitely find out this bold person in the palace. I want to see who is so daring! Concubine Shu looked at Empress Dowager He's instructions and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ming Rong is okay this time, otherwise she would definitely be angry and blamed, and now it is just a small punishment and a big punishment for three months.

The grandmother who was called Shan'an got up and left, following the clues given by her subordinates, interrogating them one by one.

"Yu'er go back, don't worry, the mourning family will definitely find out about this matter, but we want to see who is so powerful, and I will shoot again and again. Last time, Li Cairen, who killed chickens and monkeys, was not enough to deter, I am afraid that the mourning family is too merciful. "After all, Empress Dowager He has been in the palace for so many years, and some things are commonplace. I didn't want to take care of it last time, but this time I calculated it on her head, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to find out this person.

Concubine Shu nodded and left. With the Queen Mother on top, she was very satisfied, after all, she came to Xiang'an Palace in order to wait for the Queen Mother to make a move.

Ming Rong quietly stroked her belly, and Emperor Yongchang was also accompanying her.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a request."

Rong Rong said.

"The concubine wants to ask for a will to close the palace and recuperate. The concubine is afraid that such a thing will happen, it is simply impossible to prevent it, for the safety of the child in the womb, the concubine thinks that it is the most appropriate way to retreat in the palace. ”

Emperor Yongchang looked at Ming Rong quietly, looking at her sincere eyes, looking really for the sake of the child.

"I will make an order, let Rong Rong recuperate, and the daily meals will also be sent by the imperial dining room, and then let the small kitchen be ready, and I will point to two imperial kitchens for you." Emperor Yongchang said and pinched Ming Rong's face: "Is this satisfying?" Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen, can't I protect your mother and son? ”

"The emperor is wise, the emperor is the husband of the concubine, and the concubine naturally believes in the emperor." Ming Rong smiled at Emperor Yongchang, she really felt Emperor Yongchang's kindness.

"Your Majesty." Ming Rong thought about it, and suddenly took advantage of this time to speak boldly, after all, she was pregnant in the palace, she was really on the cusp, those people would definitely not stop so simply, and she couldn't resist it by all means, "The concubine thinks that the heirs in the palace are thin, if there are more, no one will ...... because of jealousy."

"Rong Rong's meaning, I understand. It's just not the time. Emperor Yongchang looked at Ming Rong and seemed to have guessed something, and also opened the window and said brightly: "Not everyone can be the mother of the prince of me. ”

Ming Rong thought about it a lot, but she never thought that it was such a reason, a very simple reason. There were a lot of thoughts in my heart for a while, and it turned out that I had already been recognized by Emperor Yongchang.

"The concubine also wants the emperor to have abundant heirs." Since it is installed in this part, this sentence must be spoken, otherwise everything before is like testing Emperor Yongchang, and if he is not careful, he will arouse disgust, and Ming Rong will never take this kind of thing lightly.

"That's it, Rong Rong is so generous, she is really a virtuous woman. I'll think about it. Emperor Yongchang seemed to think of something, "I heard that the queen and Rong Rong have been like sisters recently?" ”

"The queen's sister is quite talented, and she is also very kind and generous, and she can talk to her concubine." Ming Rong smiled coquettishly: "If you say who the palace concubine likes the most, it is the queen's sister." ”

"Oh? Rong Rong doesn't like me? ”

Looking at Ming Rong's shy appearance, Emperor Yongchang also laughed heartily. But I'm also thinking about some things in my heart, and it seems that it's time to add some royal heirs to the palace.
