Chapter 1024 Shao Huaan Broke His Leg
"The past was the past, and the present is the present. The past can never be the present, and the present cannot remain the same!" The Queen stood up, walked into the inner hall, took out a box from it, and looked at the palm-sized box. Looking at the box, he sighed and pushed the box in front of Chu Liuzhou.
"Mother, what is this?"
Chu Liuzhou didn't understand the queen's sigh. He looked at the inconspicuous box in front of him and asked in surprise.
If he hadn't watched the Queen take out this box, he would never have believed that this box belonged to the Queen. Such a simple box that even looked completely different from what King Zhou had seen in the past really didn't look like it belonged to the palace. thing.
"This... was sent by King Cheng a long time ago!" The Queen leaned back, with a gloomy look in her eyes.
"Why did Uncle Cheng give this box to his mother?" King Zhou became more and more surprised. He reached out and took the box. There was a key hanging on it. He pressed it briefly and the box opened, revealing an old bottle inside.
A very ordinary bottle, very simple.
"This...what?" King Zhou stretched out his hand.
"Don't move!" the Queen scolded sternly.
King Zhou's hand stopped in front of the bottle and raised his head: "Queen Mother..."
"The medicine in this bottle is poisonous!" the Queen said gloomily.
King Zhou was startled and dropped his hand. He looked at the bottle in front of him in astonishment. After observing it carefully for a while, he said: "This bottle looks very old!"
Such an old bottle didn't look like it was from the past few years. King Zhou's eyes fell on the box in front of him again. The box looked not only ordinary, but also old. It felt like it was at least ten years old.
"The bottle was from more than ten years ago..." The queen's face was a bit cold, and her eyes were getting colder.
"Mother..." King Zhou looked at the Queen in surprise.
The queen took a deep breath, stretched out her hand to cover the box, and then wiped her hands carefully with a handkerchief, as if it was stained with something all at once.
"This is poison. It was the poison that was given to... back then. This is actually the reason why Chu Liuchen, a sick man, was born with deficiencies." said the Empress.
King Zhou stood up suddenly, looked at the bottle in front of him in horror, and his expression changed drastically.
"Isn't it always said that his body is congenitally deficient? That he was born early and was congenitally deficient, making him weak and sickly?"
"Some are weak and sick, some are born with deficiencies. There are also some poisons that pass through the mother's body and enter the baby's body. Although it is not very powerful, but passing it through like this is more like a congenital deficiency than passing directly." The Queen's eyes were faint. Look at this box.
"This was given to me by King Cheng..."
"What does Uncle Cheng mean?" King Zhou thought for a moment, then became furious and slapped the edge of the table heavily with his hand.
"He is warning me and hinting at me!" The Queen sighed, her eyes still falling on the old box, "Actually, just such a bottle is not a big deal. The poison is not powerful, really not powerful! "
When the Queen Mother said this, it seemed more like she was talking to herself. Her eyes fell on the box, as if something was entangled in it, and her face changed from gloomy to angry, "If it weren't for her... If it wasn't for her... I Why is this happening! She brought it upon herself, she was the one who willingly lowered herself!"
"Mother, what did you say?" King Zhou looked at the somewhat crazy Queen in confusion.
"She found it herself. I also did it for your father, but your father failed me. This is a mixed poison. There is only one kind, and it is not powerful. In addition, there is an ordinary ingredient that can make this poison The poison mixed into the baby's body looks more like a congenital defect!"
The Queen didn't seem to hear King Zhou's words, and her eyes were fierce and hateful.
"Mother!" King Zhou's voice rose a little.
The queen raised her head and looked at King Zhou. She seemed to have woken up from the crazy mood just now. She looked at King Zhou's face carefully, and then said slowly for a long time: "Take this box away and put it in your house. This is my palace’s handle, but it is also Prince Cheng’s!”
If King Cheng had exposed this matter at the beginning, it would have been his own fault. But now that King Cheng has hidden this matter for so many years, he has a part in it.
"Mother, the late emperor has passed away and the late empress is no longer here. So what if someone knows about it? Could it be that my father will still help them?" Monk Zhang Er, the king of Zhou, was confused and became more and more surprised.
In fact, this matter is no longer a problem, right?
How Chu Liuchen's sick son got sick is none of their business. Is it possible that his father would really stand up for Chu Liuchen's sick son for the sake of his mother?
"Your father will meet you!" the Empress said coldly, pointing in a direction, "The late Queen's sister is over there. Her presence will definitely make your father think of that woman. Remember the good of the child that woman gave birth to."
"Who is it?" King Zhou looked in that direction and frowned. He really didn't know about this kind of thing before. The first queen also had a sister in the palace. How come he had never heard of it!
"Concubine Lan!" the queen said.
"Is it Concubine Lan?" King Zhou was surprised at first, and then understood. How could King Zhou not know about Concubine Lan in the palace? Such a grounded concubine, but she didn't seem to lose her power. The queen mother can't see her either, so it's impossible to control her as a queen.
This kind of confinement looks more like protecting her.
Although my father doesn't go away for a long time, he still goes there occasionally. Over the years, it seems that Concubine Lan has been there but never appeared.
As for the fact that Concubine Lan is the younger sister of the late Queen, he has heard rumors before, but those were when he was young. Concubine Lan has not appeared in front of people for so many years. Who would talk about someone who has fallen out of favor for so many years and has not left any trace? The concubine of the descendant.
"Foot ban? It's just my own feet that are banned. It's very convenient for that bitch Concubine Lan to come up with it. Even Princess Chen and Concubine Lan have sent people there several times."
Queen said.
"Queen mother..."
"You don't have to say anything. I know what I'm doing. If you take this box away, it will be safer in your house. I'm afraid that your father will find out about me one day." The Queen shook her head decisively. Waving his hand, he interrupted Friday's words and sneered, "As for King Cheng, you can contact him secretly. King Cheng may also have ambitions, but how can he win the throne?"
If Prince Cheng was really capable, he would not have hidden this matter for so many years, to the point where the princes have all grown up.
Of course, the Queen will not really underestimate King Cheng. King Cheng, who has been preparing for so many years, must have some tricks up his sleeve!
If he could get Prince Cheng to come to him, his son's throne would be almost certain. This was also an important reason why the Queen took out such an old box.
Prince Cheng, she really wants to tie him to her son, but this is very difficult. For so many years, the two sides have been in a situation where you don't tell me, and I don't tell you either...
"Is it because of the horse accident again?" Shao Wanru put down the handkerchief and said in surprise.
"Yes, there was a sudden collision between the eldest young master and Princess Yuan'an's carriage!" Yu Jie reported, "I heard that it was the eldest young master who hit him and fell off his horse. , broke her leg. Princess Yuan'an is fine, but I heard her face was covered in blood. I'm afraid..."
"Hurt your face?" Shao Wanru understood the meaning as soon as he heard it.
"I heard that it hurt her face, hit her face, and the eldest princess Ruiping invited several imperial doctors to come over!" Yu Jie said.
"What a coincidence!" Shao Wanru had to sigh. Neither Shao Hua'an nor Princess Yuan'an could deal with him. At this time, Shao Huaan's leg was broken, which made the Xingguo Marquis Mansion unable to say anything. Exit.
With Shao Hua'an having such a period of time to recuperate, Haodi's position as the heir apparent is secure.
"Prepare the carriage to go to the Xingguo Hou Mansion!" Shao Wanru thought for a moment, stood up and ordered.
"Princess, didn't you say you wouldn't go to Xingguo Hou Mansion before?" Yu Jie said hurriedly, fearing that something would happen to Shao Wanru again.
"It was before, it is now, no matter what, Shao Huaan is now my eldest cousin. If something like this happened to him, how could he not go and see it!" Shao Wanru said.
Not only did she have to go see it at this time, but she also had to go see it as soon as she got the news. Even if she didn't know about such a big thing, Xingguo Houfu would send someone over to tell her. After all, this matter was not just an ordinary collision. incident, there is still a lawsuit to be fought.
Shao Huaan seemed to be seriously injured and his leg was broken, but if Princess Yuanan really hurt her face, it would be extraordinary. It would be a lifetime thing, especially when Princess Yuanan is about to To become Princess Zhou, this face is more important. Princess Ruiping will not let Xingguo Duke go so easily.
Not only the eldest princess Ruiping, but also the queen empress will put pressure.
The madam would not miss herself at this time. Of course, she would not let go of such an opportunity and draw everyone's attention to this matter. At this time, the Xingguo Hou Mansion is also very helpless about Hao'er's affairs. The first thing they have to deal with now is the residence of the eldest princess Ruiping.
They still have to hold on to themselves, Princess Chen, and they don't dare to offend themselves at this time.
"Princess, the Xingguo Hou Mansion sent someone to invite you over. They said that the eldest son fell and injured his leg and something serious happened!" Aunt Yu hurried in to report.
"Tell the people in the Xingguo Hou Mansion that I will go right away!" Shao Wanru looked at Aunt Yu in the dressing table and ordered lazily!
The maids were quite quick, and they dressed up again in a short time, put on a set of light purple clothes, and went out with Yu Jie and Qu Le.
The carriage was ready. We got on it and headed all the way to the Xingguo Hou Mansion. As soon as we entered the mansion, we saw Nanny Yu waiting around at the door. When we saw Shao Wanru coming over, we were relieved. The Xingguo Hou Mansion was the most promising right now. The only one who deserves the most attention is Princess Chen. If Princess Chen doesn't come, the Xingguo Hou Mansion may not be able to withstand the anger of the eldest princess Ruiping this time!
"Old slave has met Princess Chen!"
"How's it going, brother?" Shao Wanru waved his hand and walked inside.
"Young Master... I'm afraid it's not going well!" Aunt Yu's eyes turned red and she took a few steps to catch up with Shao Wanru.
