Chapter 104: The Empress Dowager's Handwriting

Chen Jing was startled, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the loving mother Empress Dowager will at most punish the Empress. The fault is not due to Gu's rebellious behavior, or the Dingbei Army is more handsome, otherwise, Your Majesty will probably not abolish it." After!"

After all, the emperor is not empty below his knees, but only the eighth prince.

With no worries about heirs, how could the carefully selected main palace be comparable to the prince born by an unfavorable concubine?

"...Find an opportunity to remind Xiachun Palace of this matter." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then said slowly, "Don't reveal us, let others do it."

Chen Jing agreed, and said: "The Empress is really cruel and ruthless, luckily she is merciful, otherwise, the Eighth Prince will be in trouble."

Yun Fenghuang smiled, ignored the flattery who opened his eyes and said nonsense, and only said: "Actually, the one in Chunlan Palace is also very scheming, maybe he can't think of it. But I still want to say it, so as not to be negligent and make the queen underestimate it." It’s over. Originally, the queen is the serious royal daughter-in-law, and the loving mother, the empress dowager, is staring at a concubine in the palace, what’s the matter?”

"Your Majesty, you are joking, Royal Concubine, how can an ordinary concubine compare to you?" Chen Jing hurriedly said, "Even if the Empress Dowager is in front of you, how dare you make a mistake?"

Yun Fenghuang just smiled: "You have a sweet mouth, you slave."

So he was sent to work.

Empress Dowager Yuan moved faster than she thought, and Chen Jing arranged for someone to deliver the news. Within two days, Gu Su had a miscarriage.

The reason for the miscarriage was also related to Gu Liman, the younger sister of her natal family. It was said that Gu Liman went to visit and brought some cakes that she made herself, and the cakes were mixed with abortion products.

When Gu Zhen arrived at the scene, Gu Liman was already frightened to death. She was tied up by Gu Shao's order and didn't know how to resist. She just muttered "I didn't do it", "It really wasn't me", "I didn't do it". How could you murder Sister Su?"

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Gu Zhen coming, Gu Shao hastily greeted her, her little face was full of resentment, "You are finally here, you are all this lowly servant girl, your wolf ambition has harmed Eighth Sister! Don't let her go!" !!!”

Gu Zhen asked her to be quiet with a sullen face, and went inside to see Gu Su first.

Gu Su was still in a coma at this time, and because of her pale complexion, she looked extremely fragile and innocent. Her personal dowry was kneeling by the couch, holding back sobbing and weeping silently.

"..." Gu Zhen stepped forward and shook Gu Su's hand, it was icy cold, and her heart was also icy cold.

After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on?"

Gu Su's personal dowry was still in a trance, and he regained his senses after being pushed quietly by someone. He wiped away his tears, and stepped forward to reply: "Returning to your mother, the nobleman has been giving birth these days, and he doesn't go out at all. Yu Wan and Gu Fengyi came to visit occasionally. Just now, Gu Fengyi came over with a food box, saying that the nobleman mentioned two days ago that he wanted to eat cakes made by the cook at home. Gu Fengyi tried according to the recipe after returning. I have made it dozens of times, and today it tastes a bit similar, so I specially sent it to the nobleman. Because before serving the clothes, I also served the nobleman to eat, and they were all Gu's daughters, so the maidservants ignored it and let the nobleman eat and drink. Take it directly from Gu Yuwan who just happened to come over. Who would have thought that..."

She prostrated herself on the ground, "The servant girl deserves to die, the servant girl deserves to die!"

In Gu Zhen's opinion, this dowry is of course to be damned. The Gu family spent so much effort, against Chunjia's displeasure, to send three girls into the palace to continue the queen's heirs, but none of the three gave birth to the emperor. Those who are happy are only able to get lucky sporadically because of Chunjia's respect for the Gu family.

How important is Gu Su's pregnancy in this situation?

In the end, she guarded her tremblingly, guarding against this and that, but because of the carelessness of the dowry, she was in vain...

This is also what Gu Zhen has honed in the past two years. In the past few years, she probably taught people to drag out the dowry and beat them to death.

"Put her down." Gu Zhen held her forehead, got up, went outside, and ordered someone to call Gu Shao, Gu Liman and their waiters over for interrogation.

In fact, the whole process of the matter is relatively simple, that is, Gu Su and Gu Shao, as the daughter of the main branch, are naturally a head higher than Gu Liman in status.

This is directly reflected in his status, regardless of Gu Su who was promoted to nobleman by Chunjia himself after she became pregnant, Gu Shao was first named Yu Wan, which is also higher than Gu Liman's Fengyi.

But these three sisters generally do not have a high status. Although under the care of the empress, they live alone in the palace without a master, and there is no one to control them on a daily basis. Please salute.

That's all for Gu Liman, but for Gu Su and Gu Shao, it's more depressing.

When they were at home, they were also favored and pampered, but when they entered the palace, they were repeatedly ordered not to make it public, especially not to offend the noble concubine's faction. These teenagers are at the time when they are most vigorous, so they can't help but hold a grudge .

It's just that after all, everyone's background is still important, and they didn't dare to test whether Concubine Min Gui was really as easy to mess with as the rumors said.

The two sisters, especially Gu Shao, began to vent on Gu Liman.

Originally, after Gu Su became pregnant, Gu Zhen specially arranged for a cook to come over to take care of her meals. Seven or eight palace servants were sent to help the cook alone, and they kept a close eye on the special small kitchen.

However, in order to suppress Gu Liman, Gu Shao often urged Gu Su to mention some food at home, and finally let Gu Liman do the cooking by himself.

In fact, as the daughter of a side branch, Gu Liman has never tasted the cooking skills of Uncle Zhaowu's mansion, and even if the side branch is not as noble as the main branch, she was raised by being served after all, how could she?

But it's just the pressure of the two clan sisters, so I can only bite the bullet and learn.

She is not a person who is particularly talented in the kitchen. If she does not cook well, Gu Shao knocks all the things on the ground and reprimands him with harsh words... Gu Su will not say anything, but because of Gu Shao's relationship with her Even closer, I won't help Gu Liman, just stand by.

The so-called Gu Su wanted to eat Bofu's pastry in the past two days, and Gu Liman made it, which was also Gu Shao's request.

As a result, today, the raw materials in Gu Liman's small kitchen were mixed with medicine. Gu Liman, the cook who drove the ducks to the shelves, didn't notice it. Gu Shao tasted a few mouthfuls unpreparedly, but Gu Shao gave it up, but Gu Su immediately saw the red.

When the imperial doctor arrives, it will be impossible to save.

After hearing the story, Gu Zhen's eyes almost went dark. She placed high hopes on Gu Su's child, spent so much thought and thought of many ways, but in the end, because of the stupidity of these three sisters, there was no good heir? ? ?

At this moment, the queen wished she could tear Gu Shao and Gu Liman apart with her own hands, but she pulled the hem of her clothes from side to side and tried to persuade her: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Gu Yuwan and Gu Fengyi are the blood relatives of the Empress, and also the blood relatives of Gu Guiren. Everything is damaged, why would you murder a nobleman? There must be an inside story, please be aware of the details, and don't want to ruin the bond of flesh and blood!"

Gu Zhen was trembling with anger, she knew very well that the persuasion from the left and the right did not mean that Gu Shao and Gu Liman were cheated, but because Gu Su's miscarriage was already a foregone conclusion, and after the miscarriage, he would have to confine himself to confinement. Even if you have confinement, you will not be able to become pregnant immediately, so you must immediately arrange for Gu Shao and Gu Liman to go on top, otherwise, King Qin will be three years old, and he will be able to enter in a few years. study.

And she doesn't have a prince under her knees who can enter the East Palace, even if she enters the East Palace by relying on the identity of the legitimate son in the future, can this prince be secure?

It is not the case that the previous dynasty did not have a son-in-law who was the heir apparent, but was finally succeeded by the son-in-law!

Not to mention the crown prince, even if the young emperor succeeds to the throne, there are many who are kicked out by the elders of the clan!

Therefore, the top priority is to find a prince with the blood of the Gu family as soon as possible. As for whether the prince's biological mother stepped on the sisters, that doesn't matter - the big deal is to confirm that after Gu Shao and Gu Liman give birth to the prince, they will make arrangements for them!

"Empress, my concubine was wronged. I just saw that the nobleman was pregnant and always remembered to eat in the mansion. That's why I said something along with you. It's Gu Fengyi!" Gu Shao didn't know what the queen's master and servant were thinking, and was still crying. The heaven and the earth begged for mercy, "Gu Fengyi rushed to say that he would cook for the nobleman! In fact, the nobleman has a cook sent by the empress, how can I care about her skills? But Gu Fengyi is a sister of the same clan after all, and the concubine and the nobleman It's not good to refute her face, so I just tasted a few mouthfuls perfunctorily. Who knows that this lowly servant girl is cruel, and the nobleman usually takes care of her so much, she can do it!!! "

Gu Li burst into tears, and only kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, I'm wronged, how dare I do this? I really didn't know that this would happen... Those things were taken from the small kitchen. Abortion stuff!"

These words reminded Gu Zhen, and he turned around and asked, "Have you checked how the abortion stuff was mixed into the cake?"

You and You have just assigned the stewards to go outside for torture, and now they report: "According to the rules, Yu Wan and Feng Yi are not qualified to set up a small kitchen privately, but because Feng Yi started to cook for the nobles himself a few days ago, the nobles Someone gave her a temporary stove at the back of the place where she lived. All the utensils, as well as rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, were also allocated from the small kitchen of the nobleman. This time it was flour, and the small kitchen swore Said, when it was handed over to the servant who served Fengyi, there was absolutely no problem. And there was nothing wrong with the vegetables, rice and noodles left in the small kitchen."

Hearing this, Gu Shao became more and more agitated, and said convincingly that Gu Li must be full of vicious intentions, harming the elder sister of the same clan and the emperor's heir!

"Come here." Gu Zhen was already full of anger, but when he heard the words, his heart became more and more angry, and he suddenly waved his hand to order.

Gu Shao thought he had succeeded in throwing the pot away and won the sympathy of the Queen's sister, so he stepped forward under pressure, but Gu Zhen shook his hands twice and shouted in a deep voice: "Idiots! You still know that you are sisters of the same clan?! Gu Liman If the reputation of murdering sisters and the emperor's heirs is confirmed, you, this palace, Gu Su, and the reputation of Gu's daughter outside the palace, do you want it?! The former son-in-law of the Duke of Fanyi killed his own son Flesh and blood have made the Han family notorious, how many Han daughters have been taken away by their mother-in-law for this, lest they will do the same to their own flesh and blood like that little Han!"

"Why do you want Mrs. Gu to follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Han, or do you think that this queen's status is too stable, and you have to bring disaster to my family?!"

Gu Shao covered her face, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

It was the queen's servant who sighed when she saw her young, and advised the queen in a low voice: "Yu Wan is young and ignorant, your empress should not be as knowledgeable as her."

He also said Gu Shao, "Your Majesty is like this, the empress feels uncomfortable, and she can't help but speak more seriously, Yu Wan, don't take it to heart. But Yu Wan, stop yelling about Feng Yi, Feng Yi is also your clan sister, you have a cruel heart My clan sister, tell me about yourself, can you have a good reputation?"

"...The concubine is just talking in front of the empress." Gu Shao's eyes were foggy, and he choked with aggrieved words, "How dare you talk nonsense outside?"

The servant sighed: "The walls have ears, the palace is no better than the mansion, Yu Wan still needs to be more cautious."

He made her retreat with a wink, and then softly persuaded the queen, "This is the end of the matter, and it's too late for your empress to have a quarrel with Yu Wan. Why don't you think about how to deal with the aftermath. Earlier, the family revealed that they wanted to send the eighth lady into the palace to serve your majesty." , His Majesty directly let Gu Shi out of nobles, Yu Wan and Fengyi to enter the palace. Now if the crime of murdering nobles falls on Yu Wan and Fengyi, will His Majesty allow Gu Shi to continue to send people into the palace? It is also unknown..."

In fact, most Chunjia would not agree.

Gu Zhen knew very well in his heart that last time Gu Su entered the palace three times, Chunjia was not very happy, but because he needed to win over Gu Shi, he finally nodded and added two extra places.

But this time Gu Su's miscarriage was not caused by him or other concubines, it was a conflict between the Gu sisters.

If there is a big trouble, Gu Shao and Gu Liman will not be able to please, and the Gu family has no reason to propose to continue sending their daughter into the palace to serve the emperor, then they have to wait for Gu Su, wait for her to recover before going to bed and then getting pregnant... How long?

Maybe even if the prince that Gu Zhen has been thinking about falls to the ground, King Qin will be able to go to school!

"..." Gu Zhen's face was sullen, and it took a while before he said, "Gu Sutong didn't eat two bites of cakes, and the baby would be lost, which shows how powerful the medicine is! Even Gu Liman himself, throwing her out of the palace may not be able to get such a thing Things, let alone in the deep palace? No matter whether she is intentional or not, in short, there must be a real culprit standing behind her. If this matter is kept secret, then this culprit cannot be tracked down!"

The left and right whispered: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is still the prince. These accounts will be settled in the future, that's all. Anyway, even if we don't investigate, there is no evidence, who did it, we can't figure it out in our hearts?"

Gu Zhen was expressionless for a moment, then slowly exhaled, and said with a wry smile: "What you said is true. The most important thing right now is that I need a strong first prince. In comparison, other things are trivial."

She lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in her eyes, and said in a slow voice, "The empress dowager... is really old and spicy! I thought that the idea of ​​my mother and this palace was cruel enough, but it was inferior to her! "

Old maidservant, let's wait and see! ! ! ! ! !
