Chapter 1,265: Selected Secrets of the Palace
"Prince He, I heard that you have been Zongzheng for many years. From being in the hands of the late emperor to now, you have encountered a lot of things over the years. Can I ask you about the late queen?" Chu Liuchen looked at her. There was darkness in the gloom, and those beautiful eyes seemed to be bottomless.
Prince He's fat face was so ugly that he was almost pale. His lips trembled twice, but he didn't make any sound.
It took a while before he found his voice again: "What...what did King Chen mean?"
"What I want to know is that the late queen was pregnant and was poisoned. Can the prince tell me?" Chu Liuchen smiled, changing from a sinister bird to a sunny one, but this weird style of painting made him more and more confused. Prince He was so frightened that his fat body trembled. He was really afraid of hearing about the late Queen.
"I have checked. Prince He was originally Zongzheng chosen by the late emperor. However, after the uncle came to power, he received opposition from many clans. It was the empress who said many good things in front of the uncle and invited many wives from the clans. , so that I can keep my position as Prince Hezong, is this king right?"
Chu Liuchen continued, as if he didn't see the pale expression on Prince He's face.
"Prince He, the Queen is very knowledgeable about you! I also found out that Prince He was not only Zongzheng, but also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All affairs were handled by Prince He, but after the uncle ascended the throne , and the prince are no longer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so this matter is left to the imperial grandmother’s younger brother to take care of.”
Chu Liuchen said slowly.
Prince He's neck seemed to be strangled by someone. He stretched his neck and stretched his neck again. He could hardly breathe. He held on to the chair rail and tried to sit upright, but his whole body wanted to slide down.
"Prince, tell me when did your relationship with the Empress get so good? What did you do for the Empress to make her take care of you so much and even allow you to sit in this righteous position for so many years?" Chu Liuchen's smile was as bright as a spring flower, "When the queen gave birth to this king, they all said that I was born with deficiencies and was born with fetal poison, but the reality is..."
When Chu Liuchen said this, he paused again and looked at Prince He pointedly.
"It's not me...it's not me, it has nothing to do with me." Prince He finally spoke up, holding his hands on the chair rail and saying with difficulty, breathing heavily.
"Isn't it Prince He? Then is it the Queen?" The frivolous voice was a bit cold and cool. It was very soft, but it was enough for Prince He to hear clearly.
Prince He was so frightened that he slipped from his chair and fell heavily to the ground.
He was very fat, and it didn’t hurt much when he fell to the ground. He was scared and panicked now, and he didn’t care whether it hurt when he fell. He just shook his head subconsciously: “I... really don’t know, I don’t know anything. "
"Prince and Prince, do you want your uncle to come and ask in person?" Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and said pointedly.
The whole body of the prince and prince trembled together, and he looked at Chu Liuchen in horror. These words were by no means without purpose.
"Prince Chen, I really don't know anything. Back then... the queen was kind to me, but that's all. I really didn't do anything." Prince He said anxiously.
"Prince He has never suspected anything?" Chu Liuchen raised his lips, "I recently found out some interesting things. I originally wanted to tell Prince He about it. Since Prince He doesn't want to listen, then I king
Just tell your uncle directly. "
"What...what happened?" Prince He gasped hard, like a fish being thrown ashore, having difficulty breathing.
"It's just the past so many years ago. Prince He really doesn't have any guesses? If I go to find my uncle now, how long do Prince He think you can sit in this position?" Chu Liuchen said lazily, hearing this It didn't sound like a threat, more like a joke.
Prince He did not dare to listen to it as a joke. He pulled the chair hard, climbed up slowly, sat on the chair again, picked up the teacup on the table, drank the whole glass of water in one breath, and then looked straight at Chu Liuchen suppressed the panic in his heart: "King Chen, I really didn't know anything at the beginning. The Queen didn't ask me to do anything. She just asked me to recruit a few people."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted a lot of people, and it was not a big deal for the empress, who was still a princess at the time, to send a few people over. The late emperor was in poor health and had no heirs. Many people were speculating that after the late emperor passed away, his brothers would ascend the throne. My brother's princess is not the future queen.
There are many people who have this idea, and of course He and the Prince agree repeatedly to those who are sent over.
The empress gave birth to her eldest son, and the whole country celebrated. However, they heard that the prince almost died after he was born. After that, the palace searched vigorously to see if anyone was plotting against the empress. Only then did the prince and the prince discover some problems, but by this time those people had already He left the Ministry of Internal Affairs one after another.
Later, the current Queen Empress sent someone to hint that he should cover up the affairs of these people. The prince was very panicked at that time. He thought about whether to reveal the Queen's abnormality if he was found. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long after the investigation. The late emperor became seriously ill and had no time to care about this matter. In the end, when the late emperor passed away and the emperor ascended the throne, he and the prince breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, things ended in silence. The first emperor and the first empress were gone. Who cared that Chu Liuchen, who was about to die due to illness, was just a nephew. Death would be more beneficial to the emperor.
This matter became a secret with the prince. He didn't say much about it for so many years. He just wanted to be an idle king and didn't care about anything except receiving his title.
"Prince He, how about we talk about what happened back then?" Chu Liuchen was laughing, but Prince He couldn't laugh. He held the handle of the chair hard, for fear of falling down again.
Chu Liuchen, could it be that Chu Liuchen won the final victory?
Chu Qing returned to the house angrily, and went directly to the Buddhist temple of the concubine. The Buddhist temple was not big, but very peaceful. The concubine sat cross-legged on the futon, quietly tapping the wooden fish in her hand, with a peaceful look on her face. Seeing the scene in front of me, it was hard to believe that this woman was an ambitious person.
Hearing the sound of Chu Qing entering the door, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chu Qing, and frowned: "What's wrong, didn't you say that no matter what happens, you should be calm and peaceful?"
"Concubine, is Shao Jie'er my concubine?" Chu Qing sat down on a chair on the side and asked angrily.
"No!" The concubine shook her head, "Why do you think so? It's not like you don't know my attitude!"
She really didn't like Shao Jie'er. In the past, she could tolerate it for the sake of Xingguo Houfu, but now there is no need to tolerate her.
"If not, why did someone take my king's famous assassination, go to Prince He's Mansion, and let Shao Jie'er get involved in my king's concubine?" Chu Qingzhi?
asked.
"What?" The concubine didn't understand for a moment.
"You can just tell me if you did it, mother-in-law?" Chu Qing said impatiently.
The concubine's face darkened, she put down the wooden fish in her hand heavily, and said sternly: "Why are you talking to me? Could it be that you are here to get angry at me today?"
"Mother, that's not what I meant!" Chu Qing was very angry, but she still had to explain.
"What do you mean if you don't mean that? You came in and questioned the mother and concubine without saying a word. Do you think it was the mother and concubine who did this?" The concubine was annoyed.
"Concubine, it's not like this. Why were my famous tattoos taken away? Aren't they all from you? Why do you want Shao Jie'er to be the concubine? Didn't we agree before? The most is to raise more Just looking after such a person." Chu Qing said irritably, he really didn't understand why this happened.
The mother and concubine obviously didn't say that. What does this situation mean at the moment? I feel like I was forced to say nothing by the prince and Chu Liuchen just now. The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"What do you mean, please tell me clearly." The concubine asked coldly.
Chu Qing took a deep breath, and Fang recounted what happened in the palace before. When he finished speaking, he saw anger on the face of the concubine.
"Your famous tattoo has been used by Mo Qiuyi before!"
"Wha...what?" Chu Qing was surprised.
"Yes, it's your fiancée Mo Qiuyi." The concubine sneered, "Before passing the palace, she has to exercise her rights as the mistress. Now she will record Shao Jie'er as the concubine without saying a word. She wants to What to do."
"Concubine...Is this...is this a mistake?" Chu Qing also calmed down at this time and said hesitantly.
"It's possible for the concubine to do this, but it's impossible for her to do this?" The concubine laughed angrily, "I used to think she was smart and sensible, but now she is too sensible! "
The concubine did not stay in the harem for a long time, but she could become the late emperor's favorite concubine in such a short period of time, and then even give birth to her son in Yuhui Temple and protect her son. How could it be achieved by ordinary women?
"Concubine, is it really her?" Chu Qing said unconfidently. He had always believed in Mo Qiuyi, and this trust sometimes even exceeded that of the concubine.
Of course, he never told anyone about this mysterious and mysterious feeling.
"Who else is there besides her? Well, this person hasn't entered the palace yet, but she has great ambitions." The concubine said coldly, with a cold look on her face. Mo Qiuyi's behavior aroused her majesty and made her very angry. He was annoyed, "You go back first, I will handle this matter."
The concubine stood up.
"Mother, you may have other secrets, Qiu Yi is not that kind of person." Chu Qing said worriedly.
"I know how to do it." The concubine said coldly, turned around and walked out the door. Chu Qing followed uneasily for a few steps, and finally stopped outside the Buddhist hall.
Why did Mo Qiuyi do this? Shao Jie'er's matter didn't sound simple. Just now, he was only angry but didn't think about it carefully. Now he became uneasy. He took a deep breath and followed quickly. He really didn't trust his mother and concubine to completely take over the matter!
When Mo Qiuyi was called, she saw the concubine sitting at the front seat with a stern expression. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the concubine!"
