Hearing this, the Queen Mother was worried and patted Li Xuanyin's hand, "The mourning family knows that you are busy with government affairs and lack skills, but Jing'er is also your son, so I will come to see Jing'er when I have time, and give him some guidance on poetry and books, so that Jing'er will not have accidents one after another." ”

Li Xuanyin's face was pale, "The queen mother admonished, and the son knew." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed, how could her son himself not know where the emperor's mind was, and he didn't have to guess to know.

When the queen mother sat down, the queen knelt down in her clothes, with tears in her eyes, and said guiltily: "It's all the concubines, it's the concubines who didn't take care of Jing'er." ”

The peace on the Queen Mother's face faded, "Jing'er's accident is naturally inseparable from you, the biological mother. When Jing'er recovers, he will go to the Shoukang Palace of the mourning family, and the mourning family will take care of it for a while, and you will stay in the Kunning Palace to think. ”

"Thank you for your mother's punishment." The queen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and lowered her eyes in gratitude.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the kneeling Mama Qi, and indifference flashed in her eyes, "The audacity to murder the dragon heir, slander the superior, two charges are enough to ask for your head." ”

Mama Qi's body trembled, but she still raised her eyes, and looked at the Queen Mother without humility or arrogance, "The Queen Mother, who is the biological mother of the eldest prince, presumably the Queen Mother knows best." The Queen Mother wants the He family to sit firmly in the middle palace, and she does not hesitate to snatch other people's children for the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother salutes the Buddha, but she has half a point of compassion! ”

The Queen Mother was not angered by the ridicule, she smiled compassionately and gently, "The children of others? The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and the dragon heirs of the harem must be honored as the queen and the queen mother, and the concubine is a criminal concubine, and the murder of the dragon heir is the first, and it is already a royal kindness to leave her alive, so what qualifications do you have to raise the dragon heir? ”

"Mourning the family and remembering that you are the nurse of the eldest prince, because you were instigated by others to make trouble today, you will be punished and admonished, and you will go to Foyin Temple to pray for the eldest prince on a certain day."

"The Queen Mother." Li Xuanyin interrupted the Queen Mother's words, "My son thinks that the matter of the dragon heir is a big deal, and this matter should be investigated." ”

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother frowned disapprovingly, "Are you going to rebel against the mourning family!" ”

"The son does not dare to be disobedient." Li Xuanyin glanced at everyone coldly, "All go out." ”

Even if the emperor does not give an order, the concubines will not dare to stay any longer in this situation.

When the concubine was born prematurely, it was impossible for the emperor not to suspect it, but it was only today that he wanted to find out, what was this for, Wanfu clenched her veil tightly, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore. She didn't linger long, and silently withdrew from the temple.

In the palace, the queen held a cup of hot tea and put it in the queen mother's hand, and she blessed her body peacefully, "Queen Mother, Jing'er should wake up soon, and the concubine will go in and take care of it." ”

The Queen Mother nodded.

In the hall, only the mother and son were left, and Li Xuanyin dialed the jade ring, "The son knows that the recent courtiers have played the dispute over the establishment of the prince, not only by the queen's handiwork, but also by the queen mother in secret. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered a little, she pinched the Buddha beads, and said flatly: "Jing'er is the eldest son, and he deserves the position of the prince." What's more, there are not only mourning families and queens, but also Concubine Ling, who has never thought of fighting for her son? ”

"Whether Concubine Ling has fought or not, I think the queen mother knows better than her son." Li Xuanyin did not hide from the eyes of the Queen Mother, and he knew best what the woman had done.

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded.

She has reached her current position, in order to protect the He family, how could the previous dynasty not arrange her own manpower. Therefore, she could not refute a word. The former dynasty and harem are now much better handled than the previous emperor, and her son is a good emperor, and she has never doubted this.

Concubine Ling was indeed smarter and more sensible than other concubines in the harem, and even if her uncle was an important minister of the former dynasty, she rarely got involved, and even if it was the matter of the prince, she did not communicate with the former court. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor treated her too specially, and had surpassed the emperor's due favor for the harem concubines, she would have liked that clever girl......

Li Xuanyin's eyes were gloomy, and the mother and son had already been estranged at some point.

He said calmly, "When the queen mother and the queen were vying for the position of prince for Jing'er, did the queen mother think about the hard work of her son's case? In the major affairs of the country, the son has to consider more than the prince. ”

Li Xuanyin paused, his face became more and more pale, "There are so many concubines in the harem, and the only one who can make her son happy is Concubine Ling." Concubine Ling is indeed impure, but at least, she treats her son more sincerely and properly than any woman in the harem. ”

"The queen is greedy for power, because of what is the surname, she was able to ask her mother to marry me as her wife, how the queen treats me, I know it, and the queen mother also knows. I am the son of the queen mother, but the queen mother is anxious for the interests of the He family, and she has already outwitted my son! ”

"The queen mother still thinks that I shouldn't spoil Concubine Ling?"

"The Queen Mother still thinks that it is I who indulge in lust, and that there has never been anything wrong with what you have done from beginning to end?"

Chapter 112

The hall was silent for a long time, and Li Xuanyin's words were like a thorn, piercing into the heart of the Queen Mother. The emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, and treats her biological mother with respect, This is the first time, the emperor calls himself me in front of her.

The Queen Mother stroked her chest and was speechless for a long time. The first son she conceived was framed for miscarriage in the harem battle, and this son was born to her with her life. After that, she was weak and weak, and she still has an old illness to this day. She treated the emperor with all her heart's work.

The queen is not a descendant of the He family, so she overrode public opinion and pointed out the queen as the emperor's wife, not because the queen treated her well, but because she saw in the queen her ambition for a position of power, how similar the queen was to her, but because of this, she was not loved by the emperor. But, so what, as a queen, what you want is honor, you are a concubine, and you don't have to be attached to holy grace. However, to her surprise, the emperor actually fell in love with a concubine.

The emperor should not have affection, should not have love, she has taught the emperor for a long time, how to be cold and cold, the emperor's heart can only be tied to the country, to the people, to the royal family, not to one person, not to women.

The Queen Mother never thought she was at fault before, everything she did was for the emperor and the He family, and she had a clear conscience. Only now did she realize that her son, who had been dissatisfied with her for a long time.

The He family is her mother's family, her mother's family is declining, she can't ignore it, the emperor is her biological son, the palm of his hand is the back of his hand, no matter what, he will be biased.

Did she really do something wrong?

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, she closed her eyes weakly, "The queen has raised Jing'er for several years, and Jing'er has long regarded the queen as her biological mother, does the emperor want the queen mother and son to be separated?" ”

"Jing'er is the eldest son, so she should know who her biological mother is."

Li Xuanyin narrowed his eyes, his eyes were slightly cold, over the years, he had given the He family enough face, but the He family relied on the Queen Mother, corrupted the law, filled their own pockets, and disturbed the people's livelihood and grievances. He respected the Empress Dowager and did not represent him, so he tolerated the use of private power.

The Queen Mother looked at the tough and resolute young man in front of her, and in those eyes, she couldn't find half of the softness she wanted to hug when she was a child. After all, she single-handedly caused today's situation.

……

Outside the hall, the emperor and the queen mother were talking inside, and the concubines did not dare to leave without a holy order.

The queen is not there, and among the concubines, Wanfu, the noble concubine, is the most noble. Wen Xiurong was afraid of cold in winter, contracted old diseases, and did not come to enjoy the plum banquet. Without Wen Xiurong, Wanfu couldn't find anyone to talk to, it was the middle of winter, she wrapped a fox fur cloak, and the little eunuch didn't dare to slack off, so she picked out the best silver silk charcoal and sent it to Wanfu.

Wanfu rubbed her hands, her sleeves suddenly tugged, her eyes swept over, she got up, and left the crowd quietly.

Xiao Chunzi was carrying a food box in her hand, and she came to Kunning Palace under the pretext of delivering lunch. He was in a hurry, for fear of missing his mother's big event. It was cold, he rubbed his hands, trotted up the steps, and saw the lady who came, and naturally blessed himself.

"Slave, please give the concubine Niangniang."

Kunning Palace is all the queen's people, which is too obvious but arouses suspicion. In the eyes of others, the two of them were just ordinary salutes.

Wanfu stroked her sideburns and nodded, and Haruko bowed her waist and turned sideways, deliberately slowing down her steps and whispering twice.

The cold wind blows, and the palace lamps under the eaves of the corridor are whining, and who will hear these two words.

Xiao Chunzi left in a hurry, Wanfu picked a red plum, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes flashed with a moment of shock, who was that eunuch, who was so bold! The queen dared to do such a ridiculous thing, and if people were to find out, even the queen mother would be unable to protect her!

"Mother." Qian Dai held Wanfu's hand, noticed that Niangniang's palm was cold, and was a little worried, so she held the newly hot soup woman into Wanfu's arms.

Wanfu was full of thoughts, her heart was like numbness, her heart was pounding, if this matter was true, she could bring down the queen in one fell swoop today, but if this matter was designed by the queen to lure her into the game, then the charge of slandering the queen would be pressed on her head, and it would be her own who could not be protected.

When she hesitated, she stumbled into a person outside the palace, and the goddess of the palace was panicked, and there were broken blood stains on her face, she didn't bother to wipe it, and with tears, she knelt outside the main hall, "Your Majesty! The master of the concubine couldn't think of it, hit the beam, and is still unconscious! The slave begged the emperor, begged the emperor to go up and meet the master of the concubine! ”

The dirty blood of the palace maid attracted everyone's attention, and the concubine was confined to the palace for several months, and when she heard this person, the concubines had not yet returned to their senses, and the new concubine had the heart to inquire about the harem secrets, and the concubines knew a thing or two, this master was once in the emperor's heart, but it was not inferior to the concubine. Who calls the old love and the new love, the flowers are not red for a hundred days, the old people can't compare to the new people after all, and the concubine Ying lost to Concubine Ling.

The life history of the eldest prince is still unknown, and it is really interesting that the concubine should commit suicide at this time.

The palace people guarding the palace gate stopped Qing Rui, "The emperor and the queen mother are talking, no matter who you can't disturb." ”

After all, it is in the queen's Kunning Palace, and the palace people's minds are naturally towards the queen's mother, the life and death of a waste concubine, who will care.

Wanfu looked at Qing Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground and begging, her eyes moved, and she summoned Qiandai, and her palms quietly covered her lips, and she commanded in a low voice.

Everyone was waiting to see the show, and no one noticed the palace maid who left quietly.

Qing Rui begged for a long time, the door of the temple finally opened, against the sun, she looked at the man on the steps wearing a golden thread cloud pattern robe, standing with his hands in his hands, her heart was afraid, and her body trembled.

She followed her master's instructions, tears flowed down her eyes, and she begged bitterly, "The master's life is in danger, and the master's last wish is that he just wants to see the emperor again, and asks the emperor to remember the past and fulfill the master!" ”

……

The concubines didn't stay long in Kunning Palace, and the holy car went to the Chaolu Palace, they couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, today's matter, nine times out of ten, Ying Concubine did it intentionally, Ying Concubine wanted to use the eldest prince to restore favor, and then win the emperor's pity, how deep the emperor's mind was, would it really be impossible to see through? If the emperor sees it through, why would he go to visit the concubine, or does the emperor really have an old affection for the concubine?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but glance at Wan Fu twice, the concubine should return to favor, and the biggest threat is the favorite concubine Ling Guifei.

Wanfu didn't care about the eyes of others, she crossed everyone and sat on her own honor guard, Ying Concubine was bent on death, how could she not go over and take a look?

Only the harem concubines can have a guard of honor, so the remaining concubines can only watch Concubine Ling sit leisurely and leisurely in the guard of honor that shelters the wind and gradually move away, and if they want to go to the hall to see the excitement, they can only endure the cold wind and go to the Chonghua Palace. Thinking of this, some people clenched their veils again, only hating themselves for not having the ability to be a concubine.

Chaolu Temple

Ying Concubine broke her forehead, and the terrifying blood flowed down her face to her neck, and the palace people hugged her body, and their palms trembled in fright, crying and crying out in fear.

The imperial physician carried the medicine box to the Chaolu Palace, and when he saw Ying Concubine with blood on her forehead, her beard trembled, and she first squatted down to probe Ying Concubine's snort.

Fortunately, there is still some lingering.

……

Wanfu got off the guard of honor, the palace people opened the bead curtain, as soon as she entered the palace, she saw this situation, Ying Concubine crouched in the man's arms, the hand tightly grasped the dragon robe with gold thread, Yingying sobbed, which made people feel pity.

The tall figure had his back to her, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

After all, it was the old love, first a child was taken away, and today she almost died, if she was a man, she should also be distressed.

Wanfu stood outside for a while, and when Concubine Ying saw her first, she seemed to be timid, her eyes were red, and she shrank back uncomfortably, as if she was terrible.

Wanfu smiled, Ying Concubine's ability is still the same as back then.

"The concubine greets the emperor."

Wanfu walked over and bowed to the man.

Between the low eyebrows and raised eyes, there is a distance that is not easy to detect.

Li Xuanyin turned around, saw her, and also saw the estrangement in this ceremony, he twisted his fingers lightly, and his face sank unconsciously, "What are you doing here?" ”

Hearing this, Wanfu felt a nameless anger in her heart for some reason, if it was in the past, she would definitely play tricks, but Concubine Ying was here, she couldn't let Concubine Ying see the joke, so she suppressed the weird feeling and smiled, "The concubine heard that Sister Ying almost lost her life, and she was worried, so she came to see if something happened to Sister Ying's sister." ”

Li Xuanyin listened to her call her sister one by one, and became more and more annoyed in her heart, what is she making trouble, she didn't say half a word, she threw him on the face first!

Ying Concubine looked at the emperor's face, she followed the emperor for a long time than Jiang Wanfu, and the emperor came in, although she asked about her condition, but she could see that the emperor's expression was just indifferent and cold.

Even though she cried about her snatched child, the emperor did not see any pity on her face. It wasn't until Jiang Wanfu entered the palace that the blessing was heard, and she saw the ease in the emperor's eyes, even if the newcomer entered the palace, even after so long, the emperor still favored her like this, and even this favor was deeper than before.

Ying Concubine was jealous of this woman, and she could easily get the favor she wanted with all her might.

She clenched the quilt tightly and looked at Wanfu unwillingly, "The concubine is fine, and Concubine Lao is worried." ”

Wanfu just said politely, Ben didn't really care about Ying Concubine, Ying Concubine was smart, she didn't achieve the goal she wanted, how could she die easily. She ignored the hatred in Ying Concubine's eyes and stepped aside, with no intention of leaving.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is the child of the concubine, the concubine was born prematurely that year, someone deliberately did it, and the concubine begged the emperor to be the master of the concubine!" Ying Concubine tugged at Li Xuanyin's sleeve, tears rolled down her eyes, her emaciated cheeks showed her loneliness and hardship in the Chaolu Hall for months, she trembled her hands, clumsily and timidly begged for mercy from men.

Li Xuanyin looked at the woman on the bed, without any pity, her gloomy eyes were colder than the frost and snow in this winter, "Deliberately?" ”

Ying Concubine was stunned, her face changed slightly, becoming more and more pale as paper, and the man's heavy black eyes actually made her strange.

She remembered that on the day of the miscarriage, she received the last letter from her cousin, which was two dried plum blossoms. She hid under her pillow and wept all night. But the next day, for some reason, the letter fell into the hands of the emperor.
