Chapter 133: Incident
Chapter 133
In the Chongchang Palace, the queen was a little restless, and she didn't know why, since she heard that the concubine was unconscious, her eyelids kept jumping up before she had time to gloat.
This made the queen feel uneasy.
Based on the lessons learned from repeated fiascos in the previous Gongdou, Gu Zhen thought for a moment and ordered the left and right: "Check out what's wrong with your subordinates recently?"
He also said, "Everyone who was in contact with Xuanqing Palace in normal times has been dismissed, so as to avoid the limelight."
"Your Majesty is worried?" The left and right listened surprised, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us!"
"I know." Gu Zhen murmured, "It's just... as for the noble concubine's temperament, if she has nothing to do, why not bother us?"
This is true.
The valet hurriedly assigned a part of his staff to deal with the aftermath.
Curious again: "I don't know if Xuanqing Palace is pretending this time, or is it real?"
As for what Yun Fenghuang accused the empress of murdering her, over the years they were often framed by the imperial concubine and Chunjia favored and oppressed them, they were all used to it.
I also know it in my heart: the emperor is not stupid, even if he prefers the concubine, it is just an attitude.
If it really wasn't the work of the middle palace, he wouldn't do anything to the empress, at most he just scolded and coaxed the imperial concubine.
At first, the Queen's master and servants were extremely angry, but because there were too many similar things, they became angry... and gradually became numb.
At this moment, although I also thought that the imperial concubine might be messing with each other again, but after the palace servants who went to clean up the aftermath came back to report, they said that everything had been resolved, so they felt relieved.
They even secretly discussed how to appease the queen if the queen gets very angry again.
In short, the queen was a little uneasy this night, but overall she was calm. She even took the time to pray, hoping that whether Yun Fenghuang was really bad or just pretending, it would be best to make the fake come true so that she would not wake up.
When I got up the next morning and was still dressing, I received the news that the imperial concubine hadn't woken up this morning. The emperor stayed in the Huanhua Palace all day last night. The imperial physicians went over to make a diagnosis, and at the moment they are reprimanding the imperial physicians for their incompetence: "...the people over there said that His Majesty looked a little out of control, it seems that the imperial concubine is really not well."
Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows, and urged the palace maid who was dressing him up to be quicker, thoughtfully: "The noble concubine is used to inviting favors, and your majesty said she is wise and powerful, so it's fine for other things, and I can be regarded as worthy of him." As. Only when I met the noble concubine, she was confused, so she might not have been deceived. The noble concubine has always been well-behaved, even if she has suffered from morning sickness for the past two days, how could there be such a big trouble?"
"Even if she can't take care of herself, the people in front of her didn't just enter the palace."
"Who doesn't know that Concubine Min's Xuanqing Palace is like an iron bucket that can't be splashed with water."
"If the imperial concubine has been lying down for ten days and a half a month, it can still be said that the people underneath are in a mess and don't care about it."
"It's only been a few days of work, where is it easy to have an accident?"
"It's not her first child either."
"Earlier when I was pregnant with King Jin, I encountered a change in the palace, and I didn't see such a toss."
In short, the queen was still skeptical, and didn't think Yun Fenghuang was really bad, but she still speeded up her dressing, and finally took people to Xuanqing Palace, and greeted her warmly in front of the emperor... This cutscene is over , she left the sentence "The concubine will not disturb the concubine's side", and left calmly.
Since the noble concubine was still in a coma at the moment, no one in Xuanqing Palace or Chunjia had time to pay attention to her, so she left Shi Shiran.
After returning to the Chongchang Palace, the master and servant taught the small kitchen how to make a pot because everyone was very happy with the current situation of the imperial concubine.
It's getting colder today, and it's nice to eat mutton in a pot.
However, after the meal was over, some palace servants crawled in and complained: "Your Majesty is not good! The Secretary of the Imperial City just took the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince to the front of the imperial court. It is said that the two princes murdered the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir!"
"..." Gu Zhen was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and said in disbelief, "It's okay for the noble concubine to mess around, is it possible that your majesty is also crazy?!"
It is not surprising to the empress that Yun Fenghuang framed the third and tenth princes.
After all, there are only a few mothers and children in Zhonggong, and the king of Chu, who is probably stupid and not threatening, can ask Yun Fenghuang to let go of the net. For the others, one counts as one. Will put it off until tomorrow.
The question is, would Chunjia let the imperial concubine do this?
The tacit understanding of these years, isn't it possible to tear up the empress and concubines without involving the underage emperor's heir?
The queen was a little confused for a moment, followed by great rage and panic.
Although she has had a bad life these years, she is still suffering in the end because she feels that even if the emperor loves the concubine, he still has a sense of proportion.
This measure gave her and Gu's hope.
But if the emperor doesn't want to be so modest now, and really listens to the imperial concubine's urging, and directly lays his hands on the prince under Zhonggong's knees, then...whether she or Mrs. Gu, what can I do?
Concubine Dou, it may be difficult, it may be more difficult than expected, but at least they still have the courage.
Dou Tianzi?
What a joke!
The mistakes of the past, the Ji family, the Yuan family, the Zheng family, Cui Wan, the regent...there are not enough examples?
Gu Shi didn't want to fight with the emperor at all.
"Your Majesty." Gu Zhen was feeling overwhelmed in his heart, but the palace man who heard the complaint said in a low voice, "Returning to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is still in a coma."
The queen was startled: "What?"
Immediately said decisively, "It must be the backhand she left before she fell into a coma. Did she say something to the person in front of her to remind His Majesty?"
"I don't seem to have any words about returning to the empress." The palace man said cautiously, "It is said that everyone in the Xuanqing Palace has not cared about other things since the imperial concubine suddenly fell into a coma, and they all revolved around the imperial concubine. The meal at the imperial concubine's side was almost mistaken yesterday."
In short, just looking at the turmoil, no one even brought up the idea that someone murdered their empress, everyone from top to bottom had one thought, hoping that their imperial concubine and empress would survive without any danger.
To be honest, this reaction is very normal. After all, as long as the servants are not stupid, they should understand that their future and even their wealth and life depend on the imperial concubine.
If the imperial concubine is not well, even if the culprit is found and punished, the situation of the Xuanqing Palace faction is over, and it is basically impossible to restore the situation.
So the most important thing is that the imperial concubine must survive.
As for the others, after the concubine took a breather, the master's revenge was more reassuring than anyone else's advice.
Therefore, the reason why the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince were detained was purely at the emperor's order.
"It's impossible!" Gu Zhen listened, her face was pale, her hands and feet were cold, she shook her head after only a little thought, and said, "These two children will definitely not do such a thing!"
Although she has mediocre qualifications, she can't compete with the imperial concubine, and she doesn't even have the means to win over her adopted children, but after all, she brought up these children from infancy, and she knows their temperament well, so she has a number.
At this moment, he is sure that whether it is the third prince or the tenth prince, they will all be wronged.
It's not that these two princes can't do something to kill the concubine's mother, the main reason is that these two children have always been well-measured, and they are not fully sure, so it is impossible for them to kill Yun Fenghuang.
This is too risky!
You know, the emperor is more than just the few princes under the knees of the middle palace and the imperial concubine!
Other concubines also have princes under their knees.
Even if they are not favored, even if they are inconspicuous, they are still the heirs of the emperor.
In the current situation, even if the imperial concubine is successfully eradicated, it is only to get rid of a serious confidant, and it does not mean that the position of the Eastern Palace can be immediately included in the bag.
Why did the two princes take such a risk? Could it be to get the Zhonggong faction out of the game and make it easier for those princes who don't quite remember the previous dynasty?
"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to find out quickly. What is Your Majesty thinking that the two Highnesses murdered the imperial concubine?" The attendants were also in a hurry, and after a quick discussion, they all advised the Empress, "Please also go to the Imperial Palace and persuade Your Majesty to stay calm and not be rash. Otherwise, the imperial concubine has not yet woken up, and everyone else is fine. His Highness King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing are the most indulgent and capricious. When they are usually free, they would bully His Highness the Third Prince, let alone at this moment? Don't tell them to take advantage of the situation. The poisonous hands have harmed the bones of the two Highnesses."
The King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing may not have this kind of mind, but the Ninth Prince and King Jin may not.
Even the second princess is actually not a good stubble.
Because after Rou Kun left, the second princess lost her power, and she came under the imperial concubine's knee after a while. All these years, she has been covered by the light of Princess Zhaoqing, and she is not very conspicuous inside and outside.
But the queen remembered that when the princess was young, it was hard to say that Ouyang Fulu and Luo Hanyi, two dignified and highly educated high-ranking officials, suffered from being dumb.
Even though she wasn't raised by the imperial concubine, the second princess is not stupid, her only backer in the palace now is Yunfenghuang.
Even though Yun Fenghuang was not as nice to her as Princess Zhaoqing, or even as kind as the Ninth Emperor's daughter, in order to strengthen the power of his faction, it was impossible not to contribute to her marriage.
As for an imperial daughter who doesn't have a half-brother, what else can she expect besides getting a better Tang Muyi and a good son-in-law?
Once the noble concubine has something good or bad, and the empress gains power, the second imperial daughter will be unlucky with Zhaoqing and others?
No, she was worse than Zhaoqing. After all, Zhaoqing and the others were quite respectable in front of the emperor.
Especially Zhaoqing is so old, even if there is no Yun Fenghuang, Chunjia's love for her is enough to support her until she resolves the important marriage, even the empress can't bear the emperor's wrath, what to do with the emperor's eldest daughter, at most We can only wait for the emperor to go to settle accounts.
But the second princess is different, she doesn't have much impression in front of the emperor at all.
Without the support of the noble concubine, wouldn't she be at the mercy of queens and the like?
As for the behavior of this imperial daughter who dared to deceive her adoptive mother when she was a child, she might be instigating other brothers and sisters to kill the third prince and ten princes at this moment, so that the Xuanqing Palace faction will fight to the death!
Thinking of this, the queen gasped, not daring to delay, got up hastily, and ordered someone to prepare the chariot.
At this time, the emperor was still in Huanhua Palace, and when the empress entered, she happened to see him pick up a swinging bottle and smash it on the head of the tenth prince!
The tenth prince seemed to want to hide, but he hesitated for a while and didn't dodge. With the sound of the bottle breaking, a ray of bright red slowly flowed down his forehead.
"Your Majesty!" The queen felt distressed when she saw it, and she couldn't help but quickly walked a few steps to block the son, and said in a deep voice, "Dare to ask your majesty, what did Xiao Shi do that made you so angry, but you said such a thing to your own prince?" Heavy hand? If it is said that Xiao Shi murdered the imperial concubine, ten thousand concubines would not believe it! Xiao Shi may not be well-behaved and sensible, but how could he be such a person who doesn't know the importance?!"
"Besides, if he harmed the imperial concubine now, is it really good for him?"
"Not to mention that once it is found out, it will be beyond redemption."
"It's just that he didn't find out. He harmed the imperial concubine, but he didn't harm the many princes under the imperial concubine's knees. Who can guarantee that none of these princes is valued by His Majesty?!"
"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me?" Chunjia's expression was gloomy and cold.
Because of his early experience, he has always been good at hiding his true emotions.
But in the past two years, with the stability of the emperor's throne, he showed more expressions of joy and anger, so as to hint at the people below.
At this moment, the obvious anger is shown, but it is not for hinting, but for real anger.
The emperor didn't look at the queen, but stared coldly at the two sons kneeling one behind the other, and said in a cold voice, "Back then, you didn't even know that your own vice-president betrayed you...you have the right to plead with me here?!"
