Chapter 135 Improper Son of Man
Chunjia listened expressionlessly, without scolding, just looked under his eyes.
Then an inconspicuous servant came up to report: "There is indeed a volume of excerpts of folk prescriptions in the residence of His Highness the Third Prince, but it is not that His Highness randomly inquired about it outside the palace, but that the Third Prince's subordinates accidentally bought a medical fragment and sorted it out. After the imperial concubine fell into a coma, His Royal Highness the Third Prince received the news and immediately restrained the left and right from making a fuss, and then passed the news to His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince..."
"After hearing the news, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince complained and cursed the noble concubine and the emperor's heir a lot."
"Even mentioning the empress, there is not much respect."
The little servant was very articulate, and quickly described the speeches and behaviors of the third and tenth princes in private, and finally added, "Just now, the man has confessed, and the third prince brought medicine into the palace and handed it over to Xuanqing Palace." The palace servant is His Highness's personal servant. This servant has been serving His Highness since he was a baby, and has always won His Highness's trust and reliance; His Highness the Tenth Prince's side is more hidden, but he is a rough envoy in the courtyard of His Highness the Tenth Prince. On the surface, this emissary seems to have nothing to do with the Tenth Prince, but in fact his family has received a lot of rewards over the years, and he has been working for the Tenth Prince in private."
He even told the ins and outs of the medicines used by the two princes in detail, with concise and crisp words, as if he had seen it himself.
Gu Zhen was heartbroken, and hissed: "Your Majesty, this is impossible! This... this must be a deliberate murder! Do you still remember the incident of Princess Xincheng? At that time, the concubine felt that something was wrong, so she suspected it. Who did it in the palace, deliberately sowing the relationship between the concubine and the noble concubine! Now that something like this happened, it may not be that the person who calculated Xincheng before made another move! It's just that it was Xincheng at the beginning, and now it's Xiaosan and Xiaosan ten!"
"The queen is tired." Chunjia said tiredly and indifferently, "serve the queen and go rest."
"Your Majesty!" Gu Zhen didn't want to leave, she shouted fiercely and desperately, "The imperial concubine is certainly the love of your heart, and the child in her belly is also your own flesh and blood, isn't Xiao San and Xiao Shi not your child?! Xiao Shi is still your son!!!"
The emperor ignored her.
The imperial attendant pretended not to hear, and dragged her away abruptly.
Gu Zhen struggled hard and came out of the hall, yelling unceasingly, but a palace man came by and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, calm down, if your majesty really doesn't care about the third and tenth princes, after all these years, How can the two Highnesses have today? Even the Imperial City Secretary has conclusive evidence, and they have to be summoned to cross-examine them in person. Isn’t this because they are afraid of wronging the two Highnesses? You are making such a noise without any reason, except to upset His Majesty What's the use of messing around? Besides, the two Highnesses actually have something to say, you're making trouble here, making them uneasy, what if they miss important words because of this?"
Such good words made Gu Zhen pause, but the third and tenth princes in the palace didn't care about the queen mother at all, and their faces turned pale.
The third prince didn't say a word, but his eyes were extremely sad.
On the other hand, the tenth prince is still arguing with reason: "The minister is getting older, and he has indeed attracted some people to do things, but the rough envoy doesn't have much contact with the minister, how can he know if he was bewitched by others in private? Frame the son? What reason does the son murder the unborn younger brother or sister in the womb of the imperial concubine? The father and the emperor have many children, and the son and the son are never in the minority. My son. Why did my son dare to risk the displeasure of the world and do such unethical actions?!"
"To put it bluntly, even if the imperial concubine gives birth to a prince again, the sons and ministers are just younger brothers."
"Isn't King Jin the younger brother of Erchen?"
"When did my son attack King Jin all these years?"
"Besides, no one in the Sixth Courtyard of the Three Palaces knows the methods of the noble mother and concubine. At such a young age, how can I have the ability and courage to play tricks under the hands of the noble mother and concubine, let alone the noble mother and concubine's children? Nothing good?"
He also turned up old accounts, "Speaking of which, this is not the first time that the noble mother and concubine were at odds with Yuanhuang's grandmother, they seemed to have narrowly escaped death, if this time, the noble mother and concubine would also If you survived a near death, the noble mother and concubine's blessings are so profound that my ministers are really envious!"
Seeing that Chunjia was just looking at him with deep eyes, the tenth prince gritted his teeth, kowtowed vigorously, and begged, "Father, my son and I have always had resentment towards your mother and concubine. After all, your mother and concubine have repeatedly targeted The empress mother, even if the son-in-law was not born to the mother-in-law, how can he not feel wronged by the mother-in-law? But to murder the noble mother and concubine, the son-in-law has never done such a thing, and there is no reason to do so! Return my son's innocence! I beg my father to thoroughly investigate the details of that rough envoy, so that my son will know who is plotting against my son behind his back!"
... When the father and son of the Tian family confronted each other, the Qing people came out of the inner hall a little tired and smelled of medicine, and Chen Jing immediately went up to him: "What's the matter with your mother?"
"The Imperial Physician Kai has good medical skills, and it seems that his breathing has become much smoother." The Qing said in a hoarse voice, "It's just the emperor's heir... only God can bless him, and the Imperial Physician Kai said that he is really not sure."
After a pause, he said in a complicated tone, "Even if I can keep it, I'm afraid the emperor's heir will be weak..."
Chen Jing looked a little sad, and immediately comforted: "Is there anything the royal family wants? I will make it up slowly in the future, and it will definitely be better."
In fact, for servants like them, as long as the imperial concubine is alive, there is still a chance.
As for the emperor's heir...
how to say?
If it is really born, it is necessary to cherish it more.
If you can't keep it, it's not too sad.
After all, there is always a King Jin as the base.
"How's the front?" Qing Ren looked around and asked in a low voice.
Chen Jing's expression was a bit complicated: "The Secretary of the Imperial City has already found out the culprit, and it is His Royal Highnesses, the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince. The result is that His Majesty is a little unbelievable, and now he is interrogating himself."
From the standpoint of the empress, I don't believe that the third and tenth princes murdered the imperial concubine. No matter how much evidence there is, it can only be framed and deliberately targeted at the middle palace.
Chunjia would actually believe such a so-called truth, because she put all her heart on Yun Fenghuang, ignoring the relationship between father and son!
But from the standpoint of Xuanqing Palace, especially in the eyes of many waiters who don't know the inside story, there is no lack of resentment towards Chunjia.
After all, Huangcheng Secretary doesn't really eat dry food!
They have all the ins and outs of the future and the proofs are so complete. If the emperor is out of anger and summons the two highnesses, why should he be punished first?
The results of it?
It's been a while, and I'm still talking there!
Even if the queen is kicked out, compared to the grievances and losses suffered by their master, what is it?
The coauthored emperor treats their noble concubines nothing more than this!
"Just ask." Qingren was still worried, even though she had cheated Chunjia once a few years ago, she still felt palpitations at the moment.
It was also because she was a close attendant of the imperial concubine, it was only natural that she was concerned about the imperial concubine at the moment, and the heaviness and worry in her expression was also natural, so she did not reveal it.
Right now, he doesn't have the energy to give more instructions.
The imperial concubine simply told her before she fell into a coma that at such a time, she was not in a hurry to take revenge, and only focused on taking care of her master.
So the Qing people whispered to Chen Jing, "Your Majesty will eventually give you an explanation. Besides, this is a big matter. If you rely on the evidence from the Imperial City Secretary to send the two princes... I am afraid that the previous court will not be able to do so." Let’s make a fuss. The purpose of influencing us is to seek justice for the empress, not against the two Highnesses.”
Having said this, she went to the house to rest because she was tired.
The conversation between the two was quickly reported to the imperial court. Chunjia listened to it, carefully considered it, and found nothing inappropriate.
In fact, although both the empress and the tenth prince mentioned the murders and dangers that Xuanqing Palace had encountered before, in Chunjia's eyes, the incident this time was completely different from before.
If it was said that Yun Fenghuang's narrow escape from death was a bitter strategy back then, maybe the emperor would have thought about it.
But this time, he didn't believe anyone who said it.
Because the imperial concubine's child is really bad, the best result is to keep it and give birth, but it must not have a healthy and strong body.
A loving mother like Yun Fenghuang dared to take risks on herself, dared to bet her life, dared to be cruel to herself...but how could she be willing to treat her child like this?
He is still the emperor's heir who can make up for her many years of regrets!
So even though the investigation this time showed countless evidences pointing to Zhonggong, Chunjia completely ignored the accusation that the empress mother and son suspected that the imperial concubine was calling for a thief.
From his point of view, what happened this time was either indeed done by someone from the Queen's side.
Or, it was someone else who planted the queen's faction.
This is not surprising, the queen's temperament is honest at a good point, and dull at a bad point.
The status is high, and the incompatibility between the concubine and the concubine is becoming more and more.
It is simply the most suitable shield and scapegoat.
He summoned the third prince and ten princes to inquire face to face, mainly to prevent the possibility that the culprit pushed the two sons out to top the vat.
But that's all for the third prince, but the tenth prince always doubts the imperial concubine.
Chunjia endured it for a while, and decided not to bear it any longer. She went down and kicked the son herself, knocking him to the ground!
"You bastard! You keep saying that your mother and concubine are so scheming, you'll be fine if you don't cheat you, how can you cheat her and her children?!" The emperor didn't treat his own flesh and blood fairly.
Honestly, he can't be fair when it comes to the number of his kids.
But it is also because he doesn't care so much about most of the children, and there is no punishment.
Especially the tenth prince is one of the direct princes, and the king of Chu above him is a foolish master who has always had a somewhat detached position.
The emperor has always paid a lot of attention to him, and his daily favor is not as good as Qin Wang Zhaoqing, but his political status is actually higher than that of Qin Wang.
In the past, the ten princes also did many wrong things, and the emperor just scolded them.
This is the first time to do it yourself.
Not to mention the tenth prince was stunned, even the third prince next to him was a little stunned.
Chunjia ignored the astonishment of the waiters around her, pointed at the tenth prince, and shouted, "The wind is like the rain! I'll tell you what kind of life your noble mother and concubine have lived in the palace all these years! She was 12 years old. My concubine was burdened, and she was only about the same age as you at that time, so she was forced to leave the Northland and travel thousands of miles to the imperial capital to live under the fence! During the three years in the imperial capital, she was cautious in her words and deeds, as if walking on thin ice. I want to take advantage of her life to fulfill my own interests! As for the newcomers in the palace in the past two years, any random one will live a better life than your noble mother and concubine at that time!"
"If you don't believe me, ask the queen!"
"When your noble mother and concubine first entered the palace, the situation was terrible. It was very easy to earn a living. However, because of your low background and shallow qualifications, within a few months, you still got caught in the dark and hurt your foundation. The imperial doctor thinks it is infertile!"
"In those years, how many times your noble mother and concubine have cried and been sad, I know best!"
"If that wasn't the case, Xiao Ten would be fine. Xiao San, do you still remember that when I was busy with everything, I still took the time to enlighten you brothers and sisters?!"
The third prince quickly kowtowed: "I will remember what my father said, and I will remember it in my heart, and I will never dare to forget it!"
"Never dare to forget?" Chunjia sneered, not denying her injustice to the children, and said in a cold voice, "At that time, I actually planned to enlighten King Qin and Zhaoqing, after all, they are my eldest son and eldest daughter. It should be more precious than you brothers and sisters! What's more, at that time, except for them who were willing to get close to me, who of you didn't see me like a mouse or a cat, and the sound of "Father Emperor" was like a gnat , that way of restraining hands and feet, I can see that there is nothing wrong with me!"
"It's your noble mother and concubine who have repeatedly persuaded me to take you with me."
"I even used King Qin and Zhaoqing as rafts, saying that I was worried that when you grew up, there would be a rift between brothers and sisters... I can say that based on this alone, apart from your noble mother and concubine, this Sangong and Sixth Courtyard will definitely not accept you. There will be a second person who dares to be so generous!"
He looked at the tenth prince coldly, "If I want to teach you alone, whether it's you or the queen, would you let other heirs join in?!"
The Tenth Prince was speechless.
That is of course impossible.
Chunjia squinted her eyes, and continued in a deep voice, "Your concubine may not be perfect, after all, no one is perfect, but she treats you royal heirs, I can say that none of the three palaces and six courtyards are better than her." More benevolent and kind!!"
"And Xiao Shi, when the palace changed, you were left on Penglai Island, who took care of you?!"
"If the imperial concubine wanted to harm you, the army was in chaos that day, and your two grandmothers and Twelve were both in trouble, how could she not find a chance to do it?"
"Her wife sent you back in a calm manner, but it's better for you to turn around and give her a knife!"
"Also later, when the Empress was exhausted, everyone in Yanfu Palace was panicked. When you came to ask for help with Xiaosan, the imperial concubine never treated each other tenderly!"
"The imperial concubine is impatient, and she has a lot of quarrels with your mother, but you can tell me with your conscience, when did she do something to offend you!"
"This is Concubine Min, who is ruthless and ruthless in your mouth!"
"The hardships and grievances she suffered in this palace are far beyond your imagination!"
"In contrast, you all grew up in a honeypot. After listening to a few sarcastic remarks, why are you pretending to be ill-fated?!"
"I have been trembling under Ji's hands like walking on thin ice for nearly ten years. Did I tell you that it is not easy for me! Huh?!"
"Two vicious things!"
"Because she had no hope of having her own flesh and blood for a time, the noble concubine has goodwill towards all the children. Even after giving birth to King Jin, she still does not conceal her demeanor as a loving mother. Qin Wang Zhaoqing Xiao Qi Xiao Jiu who is no better than Jin Wang in front of the noble concubine She prefers caring?!"
"I used to think Qin Wang Zhaoqing was wayward and not sensible enough."
"Looking at it now, after all, it is the child I watched grow up. Even if he is not so careful because he is loved, he knows how to be filial in heart!"
"It's better than all of you enjoying the favor of the noble concubine, turning around and repaying your revenge!"
Looking at the two flesh and blood in front of him with childish faces but already tall and straight, the emperor, who is still in his prime, couldn't hide his disappointment, "Why... would I raise you two bastards who are not worthy of being human!"
