Chapter 102: Whistleblower
"Yunfenghuang, this lowly servant girl!!!" After a long while, the queen who received the news was furious, knocked all the tea sets in front of her to the ground, and said with gritted teeth, "If it's to show kindness to Weihe, An Kehan's Xin, why not let the eldest son of the emperor marry Princess Weihe?!"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? His Royal Highness Qin Wang said two days ago that he loves Miss Jue." The confidant sighed beside him, "Even if His Majesty may not be willing to fulfill Qin Wang's so-called lovesickness, and marry a prince who has a heart to himself." Were Princess Weihe, wouldn't this make Weihe Khan come to Youyou even more?"
"As for the seventh and ninth princes under the noble concubine's knees, didn't the noble concubine mention it?"
"Older men hurt."
"The seventh prince and the ninth prince are younger than our third prince."
"The imperial concubine even used His Majesty as an example to her. Do you think His Majesty can't listen?"
"Then what do you mean, let Yun Fenghuang's lowly servant girl get her wish, and call my palace's Bing'er to marry that so-called princess from a foreign country?!" Gu Zhen said angrily, "Over the years, the noble concubine has relied on the emperor's favor to act recklessly. , provoking Ben Gong again and again... Other things are fine, and now she even has a hand in the marriage of Ben Gong's heir!"
"If you want her to continue to be proud, then this six palaces, this queen of this palace, isn't it just a name!?"
They didn't dare to make a sound on the left and right, and felt in their hearts that although the empress could not be said to be completely reduced to a puppet in the past two years, when she fell in love with the imperial concubine, who didn't think that the empress would definitely lose...
At the moment of embarrassment, someone from outside reported that the third prince had come.
When Gu Zhen heard that tears were about to come down, the prince who was the first to come to her was also the child she was most satisfied with and loved the most, but he had the most unsatisfactory life since he was a child, and even the marriage was going to be used by the noble concubine as a waste ?
"Mother's queen." The third prince knelt down to plead guilty as soon as he came in, and said softly, "It's all children who are unfilial, and mother's mother is worried."
These words broke Gu Zhen's heart, "How can I blame you? This lowly servant girl, Yun Fenghuang, I will never spare her!!!"
"The queen mother..." The third prince hesitated to speak, and said in a low voice, "I want to talk to the queen mother alone for a while, is that okay?"
Gu Zhen loved him the most in the first place, but he was the best for the Tenth Prince only because it hindered the overall situation. Right now, he loves this child very much, and there is absolutely no disagreement.
When the waiters retreated and there were only mother and son in the hall, the third prince said seriously: "Mother, this matter is not entirely caused by the noble mother or concubine."
"The queen mother knows that if your father doesn't nod this, what can that bastard Yun Fenghuang do?" The queen said with a wry smile, "I really don't know why Gong Xiangji, a dignified emperor, is so narrow-minded... Mrs. Ji again After all, he was the one who helped him ascend the throne, and he destroyed the Ji family with his backhand, so this grievance can’t be over? He even wanted to blame you and your brother..."
She sometimes regrets that she took over the successor back then.
Otherwise, she still has only one child, Gong Xiangbing, and she would be more open to tearing up with Chunjia.
Unlike now, he is full of worries, even if his favorite child is being bullied, he can only watch and bear it, and at most secretly subsidize and comfort him.
"Mother's queen." The third prince knelt in front of the queen and said in a low voice, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Although the father and ministers do not regard children as precious as they treat elder brothers and sisters, after all, there is no father, queen, mother, and no sons." Minister, how dare the son disrespect the father? How dare the mother tell the queen to create a gap with the father because the son is an unfilial son?"
"I also ask the queen mother to calm down, and don't blame the emperor for the sake of the son."
"My son is already thirteen years old, and in two years' time, he will be a feudal lord."
"After that, I want to, but it's hard to serve my mother day and night. I don't ask for anything else, I just want my mother to take care of my body. My son is far away in the feudal kingdom. As long as I know that my mother is safe and healthy, my son will be satisfied!"
The queen who said these words couldn't help crying like rain, and felt that the greatest luck in her life was to meet such a considerate child.
However, at this moment, the third prince changed the subject and said softly, "I have something to do, I don't know if I should tell my queen..."
"Good boy, what can't you tell me, mother and son?" The queen caressed his hair and whispered softly, "But I don't know what it is, and it's embarrassing for my son?"
The third prince hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "Mother, the minister just said that this matter was not entirely caused by the noble mother and concubine, but it was not because he suspected that the father had the same intention, but... it was just two days ago. , My son heard that the tenth brother was in private contact with the noble mother and concubine's people."
The queen's hand on his hair froze instantly!
After a while, Gu Zhen asked in a deep voice, "Really?"
"How dare my son deceive my mother with such a thing?" The third prince raised his head with earnest eyes, "Actually, if it was only aimed at my son, my son would never mention this matter to my mother! It's just that your mother and concubine... She has always been quite hostile to the queen mother. The son is worried, worried that the tenth brother is young, and will be deceived by the concubine without knowing it! When the time comes, don't harm the mother... Only the mother knows, the tenth brother has always disliked the son At first, Erchen wanted to remind Erchen privately, but he was afraid that the tenth younger brother would misunderstand Erchen more deeply. Therefore, I can only tell the mother, and ask the mother to remind the tenth brother when she is free."
"After all, under the knees of the noble mother and concubine, she has both an adopted son and a parent-child. How can she be sincere to the tenth brother?"
"Only the queen mother, who single-handedly raises the eldest sons and brothers, is the real loving mother to the sons and daughters!"
Gu Zhen slowly withdrew his hand on the top of his hair, feeling his whole body trembling for a moment.
She is not ignorant of the tenth prince's alienation from her, the hostility and rejection of the third prince and the king of Chu.
Just out of various considerations, I have been enduring it.
But she didn't expect that this disobedient and disobedient son was even more ruthless than she imagined... If the tenth prince secretly communicated with other concubines, the queen might feel that this son was deep in the city, knowing that he was full of wings. He must be able to fight those people in front of the imperial concubine.
But right now, she really doesn't know what to say!
Isn't Xuanqing Palace's targeting obvious enough over the years? ! Between myself and Yun Fenghuang, isn't it clear that only one can live in the future? !
How dare the Tenth Prince? !
Or, in his mind, his aunt is more intolerable than a noble concubine?
Anyway, she has raised him for many years...
Gu Zhen's hands and feet were cold, and his heart was also cold. After sitting for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I understand, your tenth brother is young and ignorant... I will teach him... You go down and let Ben The palace is alone and quiet."
"Mother's queen." The third prince took her hand, but did not leave, but said softly, "My son knows that mother's queen must be very sad now, but please calm down, tenth brother may not intend to be unfavorable to mother's mother, and most of them believe you The mother and concubine are fooling around. You are clear about the character of the noble mother and concubine. Even the emperor can talk, let alone the young tenth brother? Please calm down, the mother, don’t get distracted by this, let alone I have a bad relationship with the tenth brother. Otherwise, if the noble mother and concubine find out, why don't they clap their hands and applaud?!"
"..." Gu Zhen was silent for a while, and then said in a shy voice, "I understand, why don't you go down, huh?"
Watching the third prince leave worriedly, the queen closed her eyes before calling in the waiters.
When the servants entered the room, they were all surprised to see her shocked.
After all, if the Tenth Prince had come to talk to the mother and son alone just now, it would be okay to behave like this.
The tenth prince has always been harsh to the queen, but the third prince is known for his gentleness and pure filial piety.
What did this say to make the queen look like this?
"You have always been in charge of watching Xiao Shi. Let me tell you, did Xiao Shi have contact with people from the imperial concubine's side in the past two days?" The queen gathered herself together, called out a waiter, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth, if you dare to lie in a few words, don't think that only noble concubines can deal with people!"
The waiter came out in fear, bowed to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Returning to your mother's words, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince did come and go in the past two days, but the servants... don't know whether they have contact with the concubine's people. It's all because of Tenth Prince. The prince forbade the servants under his subordinates to follow, saying that he wanted to walk around... the servant... the servant did not disobey the tenth prince because of the mother's order, so..."
He is also very helpless, it is said that at the age of the tenth prince, even if he has some thoughts, the queen is both a aunt and a adoptive mother, so if she wants to keep an eye on it, there is no problem.
But after the tenth prince knew his biological mother when he was young, he was not so single-minded with the queen.
After being reprimanded by Chunjia in the past two years, he finally became a little respectful and affectionate towards the empress, but in private he suppressed the third prince, the king of Chu and the twelve princes a lot.
These subordinates have reported to the queen, but the queen thought about it, but ordered everything to be left to the ten princes.
In this way, the Central Palace has long formed a pattern in which the ten princes are the core and all other princes are one step behind.
It's good that the tenth prince doesn't say a word, once he speaks, even if the empress sent someone to look at him, how dare he disobey?
"So? You don't know who the tenth prince met and what did he do when he went out for a walk?" Gu Zhen didn't blame the servant girl, after all, this was also the reason why she pampered the tenth prince too much.
Gu Zhen was very clever this time, "Now, go and check the Yeyu Pavilion in Lanzhou. Two days ago, when the tenth prince was going out, did any of them go in the direction the tenth prince was walking?"
"It doesn't necessarily come from Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. The imperial concubine is cunning, maybe she used people from other places."
"All in all, find out who the Tenth Prince may have come into contact with when he walked around casually that day, and hurry back and forth to this palace!"
So he found out that there was a servant in Yi Xingen's yard that day, who had a chance to bump into the tenth prince.
It is said that the maid was ordered to pick two lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the back mountain for the master to put in a vase. Counting her footsteps, it was obvious that two cups of tea were delayed in the middle.
At this time, whether it is long or short is not right. After all, it is inevitable that a slave also wants to take a chance, so such a little delay is still reasonable.
But it was enough for the queen to doubt the tenth prince.
She still had a little fantasy in her heart, and asked the tenth prince what he had done since that day?
"The tenth prince sent someone to inquire about the third prince that day..." The waiter tremblingly said, "Also, ask someone to monitor Miss Jue!"
The queen closed her eyes heavily.
When he opened it, the tears in his eyes were forcefully forced back.
She has never been so envious and jealous of Yun Fenghuang, not because of the noble concubine's favor and shrewdness, but because Yun Fenghuang was born Jin Wang even though he had experienced a crisis of nothing.
And she was cut off from the hope of having children early.
Over the years, I have raised a bunch of children under my knees, and watching the bustling scene is also lively.
But at this moment, the queen felt that she was still Mrs. Yaoning who was not favored or powerful, and was confined to the palace to survive alone during the festive season.
The third prince and the king of Chu who really love each other, one dare not feel sorry for them, and the other cannot protect them; She also had to keep her close by and take care of her... During these years of busy work, she has lost a lot, and she is also ready to be ruined if things go wrong.
But now that the matter has not been completed, the children below have already fought into a ball...
The queen closed her eyes for a long time, and then asked her left and right in a hoarse voice: "You said that King Qin and Zhaoqing were not easy to get along with. I heard that back then, they often shot down the seventh prince and nine princes, and even hated King Jin... How did the noble concubine suffer?" Came here? How did the imperial concubine deal with it?"
The waiters looked at each other in blank dismay, racking their brains, and after a while, someone came out to comfort him.
However, the queen suddenly changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "Bing'er just didn't ask me to help decline Princess Weihe's marriage, you say, is this good or bad for me and Bing'er?"
