Chapter Ninety-Nine: Suspicion

"I naturally know, you are more reliable than your father, just a reminder in vain."

Geng Xingshuang's heart moved, "What did my father do again?" ”

Ruan Shi hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "It's nothing, your father and they will go together tomorrow, he has been running to Zhuangzi recently, and I don't know how much Zhuangzi's output can increase this year, if the increase in production is less, it is not worth spending so much money on carriages and horses." ”

Ruan Shi complained helplessly.

Daning Palace, Zhongyu Palace

"You say, what did the emperor mean by that just now? Is he blaming our mother and son? ”

Sitting on the side of the big kang by the window is a beautiful woman with exquisite makeup and graceful luxury, she reclined behind her on a large pillow embroidered with a sea of snow-covered bamboo, frowning slightly, as if asking others, and as if talking to herself.

The little palace maid who knelt on the side of the kang and beat her legs rhythmically even breathed a little lighter, but the hand that beat her legs didn't dare to mess with the rhythm.

"The old slave thinks, did Concubine Yao say something in front of the emperor yesterday......"

Before Mother Fu finished speaking, she saw the concubine Niangniang shaking her head gently.

"Although the emperor went to Concubine Yao yesterday, it was not the first time the emperor mentioned it, do you remember that the emperor said a word on the day of Duanyang."

Fu's mother thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is that the sentence, this year's Duanyang weather is really hot and tight, and I don't know if the snow in Yuyao Mountain has melted?"

Concubine Zhong nodded, when she heard Emperor Sheng Ning's words, her heart was tight, and she was thinking about how to answer, but fortunately, the emperor's voice was not loud, it seemed that he was just sighing secretly, and then was interrupted by Concubine Jie's words.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Concubine Jie that night."

Concubine Zhong said slowly, with a casual laziness.

"Concubine Jie should have just done it unintentionally at that time, she didn't seem to hear the emperor's words."

Fu's mother recalled the scene at that time and guessed.

Zhong Guifei said: "Don't look at Concubine Jie's daily speech, she is very good, that is, Concubine Min, a fool, she will believe whatever she says."

"That Concubine Xin's ......"

"Concubine Xin? She just knows how to pretend, she doesn't have a son, and if she has a son, we'll have one more rival. ”

Concubine Zhong sighed, "There was a gag from Concubine Jie in Duanyang that day, she helped me this time, and she will definitely get it back in the future, I'm not afraid of this, it's just that the emperor just meant...... I'm afraid I can't pretend I didn't understand anymore. ”

Tonight, Emperor Shengning, who had not spent the night in Zhongyu Palace for more than a month, only brought his henchman Gu Laishou with him and came directly to Zhongyu Palace without letting people spread it.

Zhong Guifei admitted in her heart that she was pleasantly surprised at the time, but soon, her reason returned, and creating surprises was not like Emperor Shengning's usual way of doing things.

Sure enough, after eating dinner calmly and without waves, Emperor Sheng Ning asked how Ke'er was doing these days and whether his cough had improved.

Since Ke'er got this cough when she was eight years old because she saved Wei Jin from falling into the water, the imperial doctor had to personally report Ke'er's physical condition to Emperor Sheng Ning every ten years, and Emperor Sheng Ning didn't need to ask her at all.

Emperor Sheng Ning naturally asked, there must be his intentions.

Without waiting for Concubine Zhong Guifei to give a well-considered and safe answer, she heard Emperor Sheng Ning say again: "Two days ago, the imperial doctor said that although Ke'er's cough disease could not be broken, after so many years of recuperation, his body has improved a lot, and the problem of heirs is ...... Ke'er is still young, so there is no need to be too anxious. ”

"Your Majesty, Ke'er is not small, in fact, Ke'er herself is not too anxious, although there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, but we all understand that the emperor will not blame Ke'er for this, although the concubine wants to hold her grandson, but she also knows that this matter is urgent, so she can only continue to wait."

Emperor Sheng Ning glanced at Concubine Zhong and nodded approvingly.

"What you said is that if you can't force the heir problem, I naturally won't blame Ke'er for this matter, and it's a good thing that he is getting better now...... It's just that I've been dreaming for the past few days, and I've always dreamed of a white expanse, and the biting cold wind is coming from all directions, and I only feel that my bones hurt so much that I wake up, and every time I wake up, my heart is a little empty, alas...... It's that I'm old, as long as the child is far away, he is always not at ease, and besides, that Yuyao Mountain is a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, alas......"

Emperor Sheng Ning bluntly shifted the topic from Wei Ke to the fifth prince Wei Jin, sighed for a long time in Zhong Yu Palace, and finally glanced at Zhong Guifei deeply, as if he had come, and left quietly.

I only ate a tasteless meal in this palace.

Emperor Sheng Ning's words have been said quite obviously, Zhong Guifei asked what he meant by that, and Mama Fu understood in her heart that it was not that Guifei Niangniang didn't hear it, but that she didn't want to understand.

Emperor Sheng Ning is blaming the noble concubine and the mother and son of the three princes.

Although it is said that the five princes went to Yuyao Mountain to pick the jade Yao flowers that only bloomed once in three years, and only three magic medicine jade Yao flowers bloomed at a time, it was proposed by the concubines of Yao and the five princes automatically invited them, but after all, the five princes went for the third prince's cough.

And how did Yao Concubine remember to let the five princes go to Yuyao Mountain, Yao Concubine herself is still confused, but the emperor may not know.

"The reason why our Royal Highness the Third Prince has a cough is also to save the five princes, and now that the five princes have grown up, in order to repay their brother's life-saving grace, they took the risk to go to Yuyao Mountain to collect medicine, what does this have to do with Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Niangniang, the emperor is a father, which son is not around, just think about which son, this is normal."

Mama Fu comforted Concubine Zhong.

Concubine Zhong suddenly sat up straight, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"Mama, don't say some vague words to comfort me, the emperor's attitude is not a trivial matter, if it is allowed to develop, it is not only related to Ke'er's future, maybe even you and my lives are only in an instant, I am telling you this, I want to hear your opinion, what should we do now to dispel the emperor's dissatisfaction."

Mama Fu immediately pleaded guilty, "It's the old slave's fault, please forgive the mother!" ”

Mama Fu knew that Concubine Zhong was not patient, and immediately said after asking for the sin: "Niangniang, since the emperor is worried about the safety of the five princes, it is better to go to the temple to pray for the blessings of the five princes!" In this way, when the emperor sees us, he will at least be satisfied with our attitude. ”

"Go to the temple to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha? Pray for the blessings of the five princes? ”

Concubine Zhong stood up and slowly paced around the room, and when she sat down again, she had already made up her mind.

"Okay, that's it! I can't think of a better way now, if Concubine Yao is not so weak, let the palace up to the emperor and down to the little palace maid, everyone knows that she listens to the palace, otherwise let her go to the emperor to say some good things for Ke'er, indicating that Wei Jin went to Yuyao Mountain, it was completely their mother and son's own opinion, and the palace and Ke'er also learned after Wei Jin left, which can also make the emperor suspicious, but if Zhong Yao really said these words in front of the emperor, the emperor would definitely think that the palace ordered her to say that.

Therefore, Zhong Yao was raised by them to be so weak, in fact, it was not all a good thing. ”

"Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, although the emperor loves the five princes, but whether the five princes can come back this time is two words, even if they come back by luck, with the temperament of Yao Concubine Niangniang, she will definitely urge the five princes to assist our Royal Highness at all times."

In fact, Mama Zhong felt that the concubine and the third prince made a wrong move, or they were in too much of a hurry.
