Chapter 348: Punishment for Kneeling (4)

The spices in the incense burner had burned out, and when the last wisp of white mist floated out of the cracks in the incense burner, Zhao Kezhen stretched out his hand and tore off half of the curtain, covering most of the windows.

"What are you doing?" the Queen Mother frowned and looked at Zhao Kezhen with annoyance.

Zhao Kezhen didn't answer, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pulled down the other half of the curtain. It was pitch black, the thick satin was dense and impermeable, and the five fingers could hardly be reached in the dormitory.

"Queen Mother, out of sight, out of mind, you might as well read the Bible quietly. Zhao Kezhen said, grabbed the ball of scriptures on the table that had been crumpled by her, and sent it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth fiercely, shook her hand, and knocked the scroll in her palm down. The fragile paper broke in two, like a dead snake, lying on the ground in exhaustion.

I don't know how to lift!

Zhao Kezhen only felt that a fire rushed from the dantian to the top of her head, according to her temper, she really wanted to wake up the old woman of the Queen Mother with a slap, but she hesitated again and again, and still did not move this hand. No matter how partial the woman in front of her is Wei Yuanxi, she is still Rong Zhan's mother after all. Hitting someone doesn't slap you in the face, let alone the mother of the person you like?

Zhao Kezhen snorted, leaned down arrogantly, and picked up the scripture: "Queen Mother, why bother to be angry with the scriptures?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Zhao Kezhen with hatred, and then turned her face away with heroic shortness.

Zhao Kezhen sneered for a while and said, "Could it be that your old man cares so much about Wei Yuanxi's child?" Hmph, you don't know who she is. When she was in the folk earlier, she was not clear with those guys in her shop, and when she heard that she was a puppet emperor with the prince, one of her guys from the Wei family burned her to death for her. The queen mother believes, can this be a clean feeling?"

Zhao Kezhen saw that the Queen Mother glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Later, in Donglin Prefecture, there were women and Ling'er in the Sect Master's Mansion, Mother Zhong, and the rest were men. What kind of imperial physician, General Tu, went in and out of her mansion, and didn't even check it. Heh, and those officials in Donglin Prefecture, why do they obey Wei Yuanxi's words, if there is no such relationship here, they will willingly listen to the mercy of a woman?

Zhao Kezhen gently lifted the curtain and glanced out the window, the sun was shining above her head, she was bathed in the bright morning sun, her face was snow-white.

Zhao Kezhen swiped her fingertips, and the soft curtain covered the window lattice like flowing water.

"Has the queen mother forgotten that it has only been long since the prince came back from Donglin Prefecture that the news of her pregnancy came out? Hmph, during this time, the prince's mansion is dominated by her, and she is not taboo, those guys, businessmen, come and go, close and close. Hmph, who knows whose seed she is carrying in her belly!"

"Enough!" Although the Queen Mother had no confidence, she still tried her best to roar: "Did you say enough?"

"No!" Zhao Kezhen raised her face: "Does the queen mother think that I said something wrong? The queen mother doesn't ask anyone to check, she Wei Yuanxi is carrying the crown prince behind her back, how many men are there! If she didn't do anything with Liu Tianbao of her family, why did Liu Tianbao want to die for the Wei family? Doesn't the queen mother think it's strange?"

"Shut up, do you also call a lady to say it?" The Queen Mother frowned and said in a low voice: "Even the mourners blushed for you when they heard it." ”

Zhao Kezhen was stunned for a while, laughed instead of anger, and said: "The queen mother is wrong, it's a big mistake! No matter how ugly what Erchen said, it is not as ugly as what Wei Yuanxi did, what is the reason why the queen mother does not punish her and comes back to teach Erchen a lesson?"

"These words of yours are only your words. You hate her, naturally you can say anything, but you can't show evidence. The Queen Mother sneered: "It seems that your father didn't raise you well, so he asked you to say these self-deprecating words." ”

Zhao Kezhen was about to fight back, when she heard Yan'er shouting outside. A male voice roared angrily, accompanied by the exclamations of two slaves, one old and one young.

The Queen Mother was overjoyed and was about to go out to see her, Zhao Kezhen stepped forward, forced the Queen Mother to the wall, and said, "Queen Mother, what are you doing?"

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said calmly: "The emperor is here, do you still want to hide here?"

The Queen Mother wanted to leave the shackles of Zhao Kezhen's arms when she spoke.

"Slow!" Zhao Kezhen pressed the queen mother's wrist and blocked the way of the queen mother. Zhao Kezhen lowered her voice and asked, "I saw the emperor for a while, what does the queen mother say?"

"Say whatever you have to say, why are you scared?" The Queen Mother raised her cheeks, and her old eyes showed an unconvincing gleam.

"Hmph," Zhao Kezhen crooked her mouth to say what to say, what not to say, don't be mistaken. If it's wrong, hehe, Erchen may make some mistakes, and when the time comes, let the queen mother regret it for life, don't blame Erchen for being ruthless. ”

"You!" The Queen Mother stared at Zhao Kezhen, holding back a breath of anger in her heart.

The Queen Mother glared at her, but she made Zhao Kezhen amused: "Queen Mother, don't look at your sons like this, look, you are staring and puffing out, just like a toad that catches mosquitoes in a pond in summer." Zhao Kezhen's smile gradually froze, and finally it was as cold as a piece of ice: "Queen Mother, don't test the bottom line of your son, you don't know if you promised me once, as long as someone makes me Zhao Kezhen unhappy for a while, the emperor and you, don't want to be happy in this life." The antidote to sorrow, only I have one, if I don't give it, hum, the queen mother knows what the result will be. ”

Zhao Kezhen hated and pulled on the queen mother's wrist: "Let's go, go out to see the emperor and say what your old man should say." ”

Zhao Kezhen opened the door of the palace and helped the Queen Mother walk out slowly. The sun shone on her face, melting away her fierce face just now, and the Queen Mother looked at her with a frown, surprised by the speed at which she changed her face.

Zhao Kezhen glanced down at Yan'er, the girl fell to the ground, her face was swollen, and a palm-sized red mark was burned on her face, which could be seen clearly through her fingers. Yan'er's eyes were red and swollen like a peach.

It's really useless, Zhao Kezhen lowered her eyelids and looked at Yan'er with hatred.

Rong Zhan was holding Wei Yuanxi in his arms and leaned over to ask about her condition. Zhao Kezhen tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a stiff smirk: "Concubine to the emperor to say goodbye." ”

Rong Zhan raised his head, and two cold lights suddenly pierced out of his eyes, as if he was going to kill Zhao Kezhen with one blow. Zhao Kezhen was startled, this look was like those fierce beasts that rose up to resist when shooting in the paddock.

"Why are you here?" Rong Zhan's voice was cold, almost without a trace of emotion.

"Your Majesty, it is Concubine Zhao who provokes in front of the Queen Mother, and she has to force her master to kneel here. Ling'er cried, but did not forget to give Zhao Kezhen a heavy blow.

Rong Zhan glanced at Ling'er and handed Yuanxi into the hands of Ling'er and Zhong's mother. He slowly stood up and walked in front of Zhao Kezhen step by step. He stared at Zhao Kezhen for a while, and Zhao Kezhen only felt a chill down his spine.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this cheap maid's nonsense, how can the concubine be ...... If you don't believe it, ask the Queen Mother. Zhao Kezhen felt that her face was stiff, and she couldn't squeeze out a smile at all.

Rong Zhan raised his hand violently and pinched Zhao Kezhen's neck with lightning speed. His knuckles were already snow-white because of the excessive force, and Zhao Kezhen's neck instantly pinched out five red marks.

"I think you've lived enough. ”

"Huang'er, the emperor can't ......" The queen mother was afraid that Zhao Kezhen would die, if Rong Zhan really killed her, the Zhao family's spies hidden in the palace would add their sorrow to Rong Zhan's diet. The sorrow is colorless and tasteless, and the silver needle can't be poisoned, it's simply impossible to prevent!

"Queen Mother, you are still protecting her at this time! Can't you see her ......?"

"Zhan'er, the queen mother told you to let go, did you hear it!" The queen mother blushed: "This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Zhao, it was your concubine who collided with the queen mother, and the queen mother asked her to kneel here." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Queen Mother is lying, but why she is lying, Rong Zhan can't figure it out. Rong Zhan stared at Zhao Kezhen, her face had turned the color of pig liver because she couldn't breathe, a tongue was stuck out in half, and her eyes bulged out.

"Zhan'er, let go, don't you even listen to the queen mother?!" the queen mother stepped forward to break Rong Zhan's arm.

Rong Zhan could easily strangle Zhao Kezhen, but the Queen Mother was so anxious that Rong Zhan had to let go of her hand.

Zhao Kezhen got her life, like a falling autumn leaf, she suddenly sat down in a low voice, and the air suddenly poured into her throat, making her feel a little hard. Zhao Kezhen lay on the ground and gasped for a long time before she could barely adjust her breathing. Tears filled her eyes, dripping on the bluestone ground like sweat, Zhao Kezhen's eyes were red, and she looked at Rong Zhan with grievances.

"Your Majesty is really so jealous and chaste?"

Yan'er helped Zhao Kezhen and slowly stood up, Zhao Kezhen was choked by a tear and coughed for a long time: "Since marrying Your Majesty, Your Majesty has never touched Kezhen." In the past, His Royal Highness did not treat Kezhen like this, does His Royal Highness remember when he was a child? At the palace banquet, His Royal Highness also helped Kezhen pick up the fallen hairpin. Why has everything changed since I had this woman?Your Highness even wants to kill Kezhen for the sake of this woman?!"

Rong Zhan stopped Yuan Xi's back, hugged her into his arms, and shouted at Zhao Kezhen: "That's because you want to kill my child!"

"I don't! Your Majesty, why don't you believe Kezhen! Today's events have nothing to do with Kezhen, Kezhen ......"

"Shut up!" Rong Zhan gritted his teeth hatefully and pointed at Zhao Kezhen. He was also a little helpless: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother protecting you today, I would really like to kill you." ”

Rong Zhan picked up Yuan Xi, her pale cheeks leaning on her shoulder, looking very weak.

"Wrap your arms around my neck. He whispered to her.

She didn't have much strength, her arms just resting lightly on his shoulders, the sweat on her forehead already sticking to the broken hair.

"Zhan, save the child, my stomach hurts to death. ”

These words were too weak, which made Rong Zhan's heart tingle: "Okay, don't be afraid, go back immediately, and hold on a little longer." ”
