Chapter Forty-Six: Keeping People Under the Knife

After hearing this, the axeman gulped down a bowl of wine, leaving a mouthful in his mouth, and sprayed it on the surface of the knife. Then he raised the big knife, exerted all his strength, and yelled "Ah~"

Just as the knife and axe hand was about to drop the knife, a loud roar suddenly came: "Stop, leave people under the knife, Your Majesty has an order to pardon Concubine Hua for innocence and release her immediately, there must be no mistake." ”

Everyone looked for prestige, and at this time the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the side of the street, and several people came with whips, and the people took refuge, and a burly man in black with a sword at his waist galloped forward, and roared loudly while slapping the horse's back hard.

Seeing this, Geng Jie's heart was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, Fang Cai was finally in danger, and Concubine Hua seemed to be saved. Wang Shuang was different, he looked puzzled, why His Majesty suddenly pardoned Concubine Hua, he suspected that there was something else hidden in this matter, someone must have falsely passed on the holy decree.

When he looked at it, he immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart. This person is none other than Emperor Wu Wei's personal guard, Commander Wu. He came here to deliver His Majesty's message, and it was natural and correct.

So he hurriedly said to the knife and axeman: "Stop, stop." ”

Then he came from the execution table to the execution platform, knelt on the ground and received the order: "Weichen receives the order, obey the holy order." ”

The commander of the military sat on the horse, and had no intention of getting off the horse at all, glanced at Wang Shuang, who was kneeling beside him, and then looked at Concubine Hua on the execution table, and saw that Concubine Hua was fine, so he put his mind at ease and said: "Wang Shuang has an order, Your Majesty has an order." Because my concubine Guo Qiuyue was happy in her belly, it was not appropriate to see each other in blood, so I pardoned Concubine Hua for her innocence, so as to show my imperial grace. Concubine Hua immediately released ......"

Wang Shuang was a little puzzled, why His Majesty suddenly ordered the release of Concubine Hua, so he asked tentatively: "Commander Wu, does Your Majesty really want to release Concubine Hua? She committed the crime of killing her head, is there another secret in it?"

The military commander scolded loudly with an angry face: "Bold, is it possible for Lord Wang to resist the decree?"

Wang Shuang hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare, the minister will release Concubine Hua immediately." ”

The commander turned his horse's head and said, "Since this is the case, I will leave first." ”

Then the commander of the military waved his long whip and said loudly: "Drive the ......" and the group galloped away on their horses. Wang Shuang, who was left blank, shook his head helplessly, and then got up and came to the torture table.

Seeing that the people were staring at him, he was a little annoyed and said, "What do you see? Come on, let Concubine Hua go!"

At this time, the people under Xingtai all cheered and applauded. Although Concubine Hua has never known the people, the people know very well in their hearts that there are no bad guys who are put on this torture platform, and they know better who the real bad guys are, that is Emperor Wu Wei, Guo Qiuyue, the current national teacher who gritted their teeth in their hearts.

The three of them can be said to have long hated them in the hearts of the people, and no one complained, and what they did had indeed penetrated into the marrow of the people. Concubine Hua was also very puzzled by this, how could she suddenly be pardoned. Could it be that this matter was done by the queen.

In any case, since there is nothing to do, my heart will naturally rejoice. It was not the queen who saved her this time, but the real Guo Qiuyue that she never dreamed of. Early this morning, Concubine Xiao sent someone to Yong'an Palace to send a letter to Guo Qiuyue, asking her to persuade Her Majesty to pardon Concubine Hua.

After receiving the letter from Concubine Xiao, Guo Qiuyue was also very puzzled about this matter, she was the one who wanted to kill Concubine Hua, and she was the one who wanted to save Concubine Hua.

No matter what, saving Concubine Hua is something that she has always dreamed of, but under the pressure of Concubine Xiao, she can only do nothing, and this time Concubine Xiao suddenly changed her mind, naturally she was very happy in her heart.

immediately pleaded for Concubine Hua, Emperor Wu Wei had no intention of executing Concubine Hua at this time, if it weren't for Guo Qiuyue's must be to her death, there was really no way to agree to her, and at this time Guo Qiuyue suddenly pleaded with him.

I was even more confused about this, Guo Qiuyue's capricious behavior really made Emperor Wu Wei a little incomprehensible, I thought that since he had already ordered Concubine Hua to be executed, he didn't plan to change his previous mind, after all, he was the king of Dongsheng Kingdom, how could you have jokes, how could you be forced by Guo Qiuyue to make trouble, so she had to rely on her.

Only then did the military commander lead his subordinates to pardon Concubine Hua. Since her miscarriage, the queen has been mentally capricious. Sometimes there are signs of improvement, sometimes there are signs of getting worse.

The matter soon reached the Empress Dowager Xiaojia, and after learning of this, the Empress Dowager Xiaojia was extremely worried. The emperor and grandson who he had been looking forward to for so long suddenly reported that the emperor and grandson had died, like a thunderbolt from the sky. Then he dared to go to Qingning Palace.

After coming to Qingning Palace, Queen Han Xueruo was almost crazy. The shawl is scattered, the mood is unstable, crying and making trouble non-stop, either throwing things or scolding people. Yulan is worried about her body and has been by the queen's side.

No matter how Yulan comforted the queen, she still showed no signs of improvement, and when she was in a dilemma, she didn't know what to do, when the voice of the big internal official suddenly came from outside the door: "The queen mother has arrived in ......"

The queen's servants hurriedly saluted: "Slaves, the slaves have only seen the queen mother." ”

The queen mother waved her hand impatiently and said, "Excuse me!" Then accompanied by Jin Feng, she walked quickly to the queen's bedroom, and when she saw the queen mother arrive, Yulan hurriedly saluted: "The slave has seen the queen mother!"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "Get up!" Yulan hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

The queen mother glanced at Yulan, then looked at the queen sitting on the bed, and asked with some worry, "Is the queen in a better state lately?"

Yulan hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, since the queen learned that the dragon child in her womb is not guaranteed, she has stopped eating, and she has been emotionally unstable. ”

The queen mother looked at the queen on the bed, and naturally knew that the queen must be in deep pain in her heart because of the loss of her beloved son, and it was also common sense for her to be emotionally unstable, so she waved her hand and said: "You go down first! ”

Yulan hurriedly saluted: "Yes". Then he turned and left the queen's bedroom. The Queen Mother looked at the others and said, "You guys go down too!"

After everyone gave the salute, they also followed and left the queen's bedroom together, and after everyone left, the queen mother came to the queen's bed and sat down with great worry. The distressed Queen Han Xueruo wiped her tears and said, "Ruo'er, but you feel sad?"

"If you want to cry, cry out! There is a queen mother, and the queen mother's shoulder is lent to you to rely on. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Queen Han Xueruo hugged the Queen Mother, tears flowed uncontrollably, and cried: "The Queen Mother ......"

The Queen Mother hugged the Queen Mother tightly, and gently patted the Queen Han Xueruo's back with her other hand, such a big thing happened, the Queen Mother was also sad in her heart, and her imperial grandson was gone. It will be a heavy blow for everyone.

The queen snuggled in the arms of the queen mother, crying louder and louder, this kind of crying is really worrying, the queen mother patted the queen's back, while wiping her tears, distressed: "Ruo'er, you are like this, it really makes the queen mother worry about you, the queen mother's grandson is gone, the queen mother doesn't want my Ruo'er to have three long and two short, listen to the mother's persuasion, don't cry." ”

The queen choked up while crying: "Queen Mother, Long'er must have been killed by an adulterer, if not, how could he suddenly have a miscarriage, it must have been done by Guo Qiuyue, she can't wait for the dragon in her son's womb to die." It must be her, it must be her, you have to be the master of your sons, the ......queen mother!

The queen insisted that Guo Qiuyue did it, which is not unreasonable. Before this happened, she heard what Concubine Xiao said that Guo Qiuyue and Zhu Shenchu poisoned the dragon in her belly. At first, she was still suspicious, and she planned to catch Zhu Shenchu and interrogate her clearly.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shenchu has become a fool, completely turned into a waste, and can't even speak. The imperial doctor who treated him did not find out why he became like this, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Now that she has had a miscarriage, she is even more suspicious of Guo Qiuyue, and at this time she can't wait to break Guo Qiuyue's body into pieces. How could she have the support of His Majesty, and before she had enough evidence, she was helpless against her, so she could only use the Queen Mother to find out about the matter.

The queen mother wiped away her tears while comforting: "Ruo'er, the queen mother will definitely help you investigate this matter clearly, if it is really Guo Qiuyue's doing, the queen mother will not forgive her." It's just that there is not enough evidence at this time, and the queen mother is helpless about it. ”

The queen hugged the queen mother tightly and begged: "Queen Mother, you must be the master of your son's courtiers! Except for Guo Qiuyue in this palace, Erchen really doesn't know who else is angry with his sons. She longed for her son's miscarriage as soon as possible, as she wanted. ”

"It's okay now, no one can compete with her dragon son for the crown prince. The dragon in the belly of the retainer is dead, she can sit back and relax, His Majesty is so fortunate to her, the dragon in her belly is the eldest son. The position of the crown prince in the future has long been held by her. ”

"Queen Mother, Guo Qiuyue is so insidious and cunning, so ruthless, like this kind of demonic person, if you don't eradicate it as soon as possible, I don't know how many disasters will arise in the future, she can poison the dragon in the belly of her sons today, and she may attack her sons in the future, Queen Mother, you must be the masters of your sons!"

The Empress Dowager comforted the Empress and said: "Ruo'er! There is no conclusive evidence for this matter, and it is not certain whether Guo Qiuyue did it." She sometimes doesn't do things as well as she wants. There was also a bit of estrangement with Ruo'er before, but this can't be the basis for her to poison the dragon in Ruo'er's womb. ”

"Everything is about evidence, although Ruo'er's reasoning is not unreasonable, but after all, it can't be used to rectify Guo Qiuyue, recently Guo Qiuyue has changed her arrogance and domineering in the past and has become extremely low-key. She is also a lot more relaxed, and today the old man heard that she also interceded for Concubine Hua, so that His Majesty pardoned Concubine Hua. ”

As soon as she heard this, the queen wiped her tears, looked at the queen mother with an incredible face, and said with some excitement: "Is there really such a thing as the queen mother? Concubine Hua is not dead?" ”

Hearing that Concubine Hua was not beheaded, the queen finally had a little smile on her face, since Concubine Hua was fine, her mood was much better, but she still hated Guo Qiuyue. Seeing that the queen's mood had changed, the queen mother smiled and nodded: "Well, Concubine Hua is not dead, she has been pardoned by His Majesty." If the old body guessed correctly, she would come to meet Ruo'er soon. ”

After that, the Queen Mother handed Queen Han Xueruo a golden handkerchief and said, "Ruo'er, wipe your tears!"

The queen nodded, took the handkerchief, and wiped her tears. Seeing this, the queen mother was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Ruo'er, have you ever found a royal doctor to diagnose it, can you determine why Ruo'er miscarried?"

The queen shook her head and said, "Queen Mother, the imperial doctor did come to diagnose Erchen, but Erchen heard that Longzi was not guaranteed, and his emotions were out of control. Before he could ask the reason, he scolded him away. ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother hesitated and said, "Oh?

The queen thought for a while and said: "Queen Mother, there are many imperial doctors in this palace, but this person still remembers it, this person is Gong Mohan." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded thoughtfully, and then said loudly: "Someone is coming." ”

Hearing the queen mother's shout, the slave who was waiting at the door hurriedly came to the queen mother and said, "Queen Mother, what are your orders?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at the servant and said, "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor Gong Mohan to come to Qingning Palace to question." ”

The servant hurriedly saluted, "Yes, Queen Mother." With that, he turned around and left Qingning Palace.

Soon after, the imperial doctor looked nervous and hurried to Qingning Palace, extremely frightened in his heart. The queen suddenly asked him to come to Qingning Palace for questioning, and he also guessed what was going on. While trotting, he wiped the beads of sweat that oozed from his forehead out of fear.

After coming to Qingning Palace, I saw that the Queen Mother was also there. The sense of fear increased suddenly, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Weichen, Weichen." See, I have seen the Queen Mother, the queen ......"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, looked at the imperial doctor Gong Mohan with a serious face, and said, "Excuse me, I'll ask you, you need to answer truthfully, if you have anything to hide." Deception, the old body will not be spared, can you hear clearly?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare, Wechen will answer the Queen Mother's questions truthfully, and never dare to deceive......"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since that's the case." The old body asked you, the queen miscarried, but you diagnosed it?"

Imperial Doctor Gong Mohan looked nervous, and when he heard this, his body began to tremble, and he hurriedly trembled: "Yes, it was Weichen who diagnosed the queen." ”

The queen didn't change her color, and still said with a serious face: "Then let me ask you, why did the queen suddenly have a miscarriage?
