Chapter 247: Last Stand

Concubine Shu's heart suddenly turned cold when she heard these words. The empress's words made it clear that she would not give Meng Youyi any posthumous title. Fear the crime and commit suicide!

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Emperor is only this young. If she grows up and knows why her biological mother passed away, she might not look good?" Concubine Shu is not afraid of the Queen, but she has nothing to threaten the Queen. At this moment, she subconsciously begged , The words came out of my mouth, but I realized that what I said was very inappropriate. After all, when it comes to the reason for Meng Youyi's death, the queen can't get rid of it.

In this way, it is simply to remind the empress not to let the sixth imperial daughter go, let alone pity this golden branch and jade leaf.

She hurriedly corrected, "I'm afraid the empress has misunderstood! Wan Jieyu has been in poor health for a while. A few days ago, my concubine sent someone to bring her something, and I heard that she was sleepy and lacked energy. The concubine even persuaded her to call the imperial physician! But Wan Jieyu said that she suffered a difficult childbirth, and the root cause of the disease was incurable! She said that she was tortured by the illness day and night, and she really felt that life was unloved It’s also a concubine’s fault when I say it, and I only said what she said when she was angry. I persuaded her a few words and asked her to think that the sixth princess is still young... who knows... well, after all, Wan Jieyu came from a wealthy family and was pampered since she was a child. How could she have suffered this crime? ? In the final analysis, she is a little less fortunate!"

There is no way, even though it is not a decent thing to torture oneself because of illness.

But nothing is better than fearing the crime and committing suicide.

Otherwise, the sixth princess would be the daughter of a sinful concubine. Even because of Chunjia's blood relationship, she would still be a noble emperor daughter, but there are quite a few emperor daughters in this palace now.

Before the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Zhaoqing, became a beauty saint, Chunjia didn't pay much attention to the daughters behind her.

Now that Meng Youyi is gone, the sixth princess no longer has the protection of her concubine mother, and if she is dragged down by her concubine's reputation... I'm afraid life will not be easy in the future.

Concubine Shu will of course take care of the child, but with the hostility of the concubine, she can't guarantee how much she can do.

After all, she has children herself, so she must give priority to the future of her children.

In order to offend the imperial concubine for the sake of the sixth emperor, what if the fourth emperor is missed by the imperial concubine?

I can only work hard for the sixth emperor in this kind of place, and try my best to make the sixth emperor's life easier in the future.

"...Is that so?" Gu Zhen took a deep look at Concubine Shu, a little rejoicing that this Ouyang family either had no eyeliner in Linlang Hall, or the eyeliner was not clever enough, not knowing that when he just came here, he also acquiesced to Wan Jieyu It was because of her own physical illness that she chose to go to a dead end. Now that Concubine Shu is sure that she doesn't want Meng's reputation to go away, she puts on airs and said softly, "There is such a thing? Before the Palace Haven't heard of it at all?"

"Return to your mother's words." Concubine Shu was cautious... She also really cared about the relationship before entering the palace. After all, although she used to be well-behaved in front of Gu Zhen, she was the kind of "born in this palace from a famous family" There will be no place for people to talk" rules, not the awe of the queen.

At this moment, it was the first time that she showed the low profile that a concubine should have to the queen, and said softly, "It happened not long before the palace change, and the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes were not very good... Wan Jieyu was also afraid of disturbing His Majesty and Your Majesty, so she begged my concubine not to tell the truth. I didn't deliberately hide it from my Majesty. Besides, she said she was much better these days, and I believed it, but I didn't know that she was getting worse... ...It has come to this point?"

As he spoke, he asked his close servant, Zhuo Shu, to testify, "If you don't believe me, ask Zhuo Shu, has my concubine sent her here several times these days?"

Of course, the clumsy book followed the master's words, and on the side of Linlang Hall, the servants left behind by Meng Youyi were all at the side. After hearing this, how could there be any disagreement? So you said what I said, and made up a story on the spot that Wan Jieyu had been in bed for a long time, couldn't help the pain, so she walked the narrow road in a daze.

Meng Youyi's dowry smiled wryly in her heart, glanced at Concubine Shu, and said: "Empress, the servant girl said the same thing just now, if you listen to Concubine Shu's words now, it's so tight, you can see that it's all true!"

Only then did Concubine Shu realize that she had been tricked, she didn't care about getting angry, and smiled apologetically: "So the empress asked about it just now? That's indeed what happened."

Gu Zhen didn't feel embarrassed any more, and said: "So that's the case, I know about it, and I will tell His Majesty later."

The implication is, please help convey it, if the emperor doesn't have this intention, then she won't contribute any more.

And will Chunjia propose to pursue the seal?

That is unlikely.

What was the status of Concubine Wen Huixian's posthumous title before? Concubine Wen Huixian died of dystocia without any grievances. She also had a well-known favorite daughter, and a father who once approached the emperor's theory for her daughter.

This is the glory of the scenery.

The concubines who disappeared later, even if there was a posthumous title, it was all the concern of the empress dowager, and Chunjia didn't take it to heart at all.

This is not surprising, in the past, Yuan Niangniang was the only one in his eyes, which seemed both true and false; later, Yun Fenghuang entered the palace, and soon replaced Yuan Niangniang, becoming the only one in his eyes.

It's not that Yunfenghuang has three advantages and two disadvantages, and the emperor has a lot of things to deal with every day. How can he pay attention to the posthumous name of a concubine who doesn't take it to heart and just sleeps casually?

He didn't even care about the flesh and blood that these concubines gave birth to for him.

Concubine Shu smiled wryly, and said nothing more, "Thank you, Ma'am."

No other concubine came over this night, because first, before Meng Youyi was demoted, although she was considered a high-ranking concubine in the court, she was a concubine who was not in power after all, and her influence was limited. Although she doesn't know the whole ins and outs, she also knows that she was forced to death by the imperial concubine. Naturally, she is worried that she will be hated by the imperial concubine if she expresses condolences to Lin Langdian at this moment.

The Empress, Concubine Jing and Concubine Shu came here, one because of duty, one because of love, and the last one because of love and duty.

Originally, according to the rules, Concubine De, who also has the right to assist the Six Palaces, should also come to have a look, but Concubine De did not come in the end.

The next morning, Concubine De sent someone to explain to the queen, saying that she had sprained her foot before, and after learning about the accident last night, she wanted to hold on to have a look, but who knew that she sprained the injury again in a hurry Now, to make matters worse, she can only lie down, and there is absolutely no help for Wan Jieyu's funeral.

The queen wished that she would not show up, after all, Concubine De was also a part of those who forced Wan Jieyu to death.

To be honest, regarding Wan Jieyu's funeral, the concubine's faction didn't show up, but she was considerate.

Otherwise, Meng Youyi might not be able to walk safely on the road to Huangquan.

She shook her head and asked the attendant to tell the visitor: "I know, I asked Concubine De if there is anything I need... There seems to be some ointment in the warehouse of the palace? I will pack up a copy and send it over later. Don't choose too much." of."

Anyway, only Yijiagong knew how Defei was injured, so don't waste her good things.

"Tell the servants to be quicker, and finish this funeral as soon as possible." After dismissing Concubine De, the Empress waited until noon, but no one from Xuanqing Palace or Qushi Yishi came over. After thinking about it for a while, she said Tell the left and right, "This is also for the good of the Meng family. The imperial concubine is in confinement now, and many things can't be taken care of. If not, I'm afraid the methods will be more severe... Think about the example of the Zheng family back then. It's better to get things done as soon as possible." Calm down, maybe the imperial concubine has let out a sigh of relief, so she doesn't care about it."

But the queen thinks so, and the others don't.

She was just a little inattentive, and Concubine Jing actually went to kneel in front of Xuanqing Palace.

And the reason for kneeling was to ask Wan Jieyu for an honor.

When the queen heard the news, she couldn't believe her ears: "Is she crazy?! Even if she thinks that the imperial concubine will not let her go, even if she thinks that the imperial concubine will not be able to reach out to deal with the Luo family...she still has ten years left. What about the third prince! Does she care about the life and death of the thirteenth prince?!"

Actually Concubine Jing cared about the thirteen princes, but she also felt that if the concubine was determined to kill them all, even if she bowed her knees, would the concubine be lenient?

Yun Fenghuang has never been a kind person, she knew this not long after entering the palace.

The empress may still have a little bit of embarrassment towards the young and ignorant heir, but the imperial concubine would not think so.

Before the palace change, she might still have the idea of ​​just in case, but after the palace change... that night was too chaotic, and many things could not be kept as secrets.

For example, the emperor did not care about the queen at a critical moment but arranged for a noble concubine. For example, the emperor abandoned the eldest son and eldest daughter but sent someone to pick up the two sons.

And when the imperial concubine was in a hurry, she sent someone to take Qin Wang Zhaoqing to hide, ignored the objection of the imperial attendant and insisted on bringing the seventh prince with her, but did not make any arrangements for the ninth prince!

You know, the Ninth Prince is the only male heir under the name of the noble concubine!

However, although King Qin is under the name of Concubine Zhenxishu, he is the grandson of Duke Yi's mansion and the emperor's favorite prince; although the seventh prince is under the name of Concubine Wen Huixian, his grandfather Yin Qu regards him as a treasure. He would rather fight against the officials for the noble concubine in the previous dynasty... Although the nine princes are recorded under the name of Yunfenghuang, the birth mother is humble, and she was not born by Yunfenghuang. Yunfenghuang was pregnant, so he gave up without hesitation. Abandoned this son, let him fend for himself.

Yun Fenghuang is like this to the child who has grown up in front of him since he landed, let alone the enemy's child?

So Concubine Jing decided to go all out!

Meng Youyi did nothing wrong, but was forced to death, what happened in the end? Whether it's the people around her or Concubine Shu, they are all forced to admit that she committed suicide because she was sick and unable to bear it, and it has nothing to do with other people and other things!

These remarks were already heartbreaking, but the key point was that the empress did not express any objection, and they had to kneel down to thank... Right now, Liugong is silent, and she somewhat understands Meng Youyi's grievances in her heart.

But people's forgetfulness is also very big. In five or ten years, everyone will soon believe that Meng Youyi is not blessed, that she is too weak, and even say that she is too cruel, because she couldn't bear the difficult childbirth. With a chronic illness, he forcibly abandoned the young sixth princess...

At that time, the truth will be finalized.

It didn't even take that long, and many outsiders would probably think so now.

So Concubine Jing just went straight to kneel in front of the Xuanqing Palace, the left and right mother and son, even the sixth princess, had no chance of life... Then why didn't they give it a go? !
