"Concubine Zhao, why did you fall on Concubine Jade on purpose? Did you intentionally knock the child out of Concubine Jade's belly?" The Queen Mother's face was livid with anger, and her sharp eyes were fixed on Concubine Zhao, as if she was about to drip. Come on, how important this child is to her, the importance is almost the core of all her plans. During this period of time, she sent people to be low-key and low-key, just for the smooth birth of this child.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Concubine Zhao's life would be destroyed, and the Queen Mother would eat Concubine Zhao's heart!
Concubine Zhao's face changed drastically, her body became weak, and she almost lay on the ground, murdering the emperor's heir. How could she dare to bear such a crime? She reached out and grabbed the lower part of the emperor's robe, raised her head, and looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I don't have one. How could I possibly murder the child in Concubine Jade's belly? I don't have a son myself. What good will it do me to murder that child?"
"You are jealous. You are jealous that Concubine Jade is pregnant with the emperor's heir. Last night Concubine Yu sent people there to say that she had a stomachache, but your people stopped her from the door. Your jealousy is coupled with resentment. Concubine Yu is resentful that Concubine Yu is not pregnant. Shi Xiang, I actually sent someone to your Mingyue Palace at that time. You met Yu Fei early this morning, and there was quite a quarrel between the two, so you got angry and deliberately pretended to be unstable and fell on Yu Fei. .”
The Queen said coldly, Concubine Zhao and the Queen Mother are getting closer these days. How could she not know the reason? She would not help her at this time. She has investigated clearly and everyone in the two palaces knows what happened yesterday. , you can’t hide it from anyone!
Last night, the emperor had just entered the Mingyue Palace, and people from Concubine Jade came over to tell the emperor that Concubine Yu was not feeling well in her stomach. They wanted to go in and tell the emperor, but the people from the Palace of Mingyue blocked the door, saying that Concubine Zhao would not allow anyone to disturb Concubine Yu. All the concubines in the palace knew that every time the emperor came over, it was an opportunity to compete for favor.
No one wants to miss this opportunity!
Concubine Jade took advantage of the child in her belly to spoil her, and deliberately caused trouble when the emperor came to the Mingyue Palace, which was enough to make Concubine Zhao hate her. In addition, Concubine Jade used the child in her belly to stimulate Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Zhao was completely Being able to do such a thing, the queen put the facts in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, I don't have any concubines, I really don't!" Concubine Zhao shouted anxiously, with no trace of blood on her face. Cai Chun did say that Concubine Yu sent someone this morning, and she didn't care at all. Unexpectedly, this happened When the outburst broke out at this time, I was already panicking. I would only pull at the emperor's robe, raise my head and beg, laughing with tears, and he was no longer the usual gentle and demure look.
The emperor looked at her coldly and said nothing.
The Queen Mother had made up her mind at this moment. Although she wanted to draw Concubine Zhao into her camp and let her plant a thorn in the Emperor's side with a face similar to that of Concubine Xian, she now discovered that this thorn was not It's not about the emperor, but it's about her own heart. If this child is really gone and disrupts all her plans, how can she not be angry or resentful? All this anger is due to Concubine Zhao.

Turning to Emperor Zongwen, he said: "Your Majesty, let's put the facts before our eyes. Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhao were talking together in the pavilion. When Concubine Zhao was leaving, she pretended to fall and bump into Concubine Yu, causing Concubine Yu to give birth prematurely. We don’t know whether we are alive or dead. Originally it was just two people being jealous and it was not a big deal, but trying to kill the emperor’s heir..."
The Empress Dowager didn't finish her words, but her meaning was inside. Emperor Zongwen had only three surviving sons so far, and there were indeed fewer heirs, so he paid more attention to the emperor's heirs. The jealousy among the concubines in the harem was nothing. It's a big deal, but being so vicious as to harm the emperor's heir is a serious crime.
Upon hearing that the Queen Mother wanted to punish her, Concubine Zhao shook her head in panic, pulled Emperor Zongwen tightly, and raised her tearful face. That beautiful face was full of helplessness and despair. She was gambling. , His Majesty the Gambling Emperor would feel pity when he saw her face with such an expression. That was the expression of Concubine Xian when she finally died.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't. When I was about to leave, I suddenly felt someone tripped me. Originally, I didn't fall to the Jade Concubine, but I don't know what happened. It seemed that someone was pushing me from behind. I grabbed my concubine, my concubine, I couldn't help but fall towards the Jade Concubine. Your Majesty, please believe me, I really didn't do anything wrong to the emperor, and I really would not murder the emperor. Heirs."
This charming and pitiful face slightly pushed away the gloom in Emperor Zongwen's eyes, but it also revealed a look of hatred and anger in the Queen's eyes.
Yes, it was this face that looked at Emperor Zongwen so tenderly and pitifully, and wiped out all the feelings of the emperor and empress that originally belonged to him. From then on, the emperor almost never set foot in her Tianfeng Palace. If it weren't for Duke Dingguo behind him, With the support of the government, the queen believed that she had been cut into pieces at the moment the woman died.
Why is his daughter so unwelcome? Why is he in such a bad situation? It's all because of that woman's sad expression before she died. The resentment in the emperor's eyes is filled with hatred. The concubine Zhao in front of him has become the concubine Xian. That inexplicable disaster almost made her a useless queen, how could she not hate it.
The hatred had been accumulating in her heart, and now it was scratching her heart like a knife. She pressed her fingers tightly on the corner of the table, gritted her teeth to hold back the hatred that surged in her heart, and used the strength of her fingers to She calmed down her mood and slowly lowered her eyes. She couldn't get angry at this time, and she couldn't be irritated by this expression again!
"Your Majesty, I have asked the palace maids and eunuchs who were present at the time. They all said that Concubine Zhao had scolded Concubine Yu viciously before. After that, she did fall in the wrong direction. It seemed that she had twisted it deliberately. But at that time, the two of them were There was no one else around, and the two accompanying palace officials did not see anyone approaching Concubine Zhao, so what Concubine Zhao said was that someone pushed her is not true."
No matter what, she will not let Concubine Zhao pass easily today!
When Concubine Zhao heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned pale and she lost blood. Her lips trembled a few times and fell softly to the ground. No one was near her. How could there be no one? There must be someone to fall down and bump into Concubine Yu. How could she fall down? Maybe not, but now she can't provide any evidence of strength.
All the indications were that she was vicious and harmful to others, so how could Concubine Zhao not be so panicked that she couldn't even speak.
But her appearance in the eyes of everyone was a sign of guilty conscience. Everyone almost concluded that Concubine Zhao must be the wrong party and must have deliberately harmed the children in Concubine Yu's belly. There were several concubines who came with the queen. He was extremely dissatisfied with Concubine Zhao on weekdays, so he held the handkerchief and said.
"Why is Sister Zhaofei so cruel? Even if Concubine Yu is a little spoiled, for the sake of the child in her belly, Sister Zhaofei cannot be so cruel."
"No, I said before that Sister Zhao Fei was kind-hearted, but it turns out she was just pretending. She has been pretending for more than ten years. I wonder if the former Sister Xian Fei knew about it?" Another concubine entered the palace. It had been a long time, and I knew the secrets in the palace. I also knew that Concubine Zhao only gained the favor of the emperor because she looked like Concubine Xian, so she immediately exposed her mask.
"Ah, plotting to kill the emperor's heir. Sister Zhao Fei was at Concubine Xian's place before. I heard that His Highness Prince Xuan was also poisoned. Could it be..."
The queen said coldly: "At that time, I just went there to see sister Xian, and she only brought some ordinary tonics, but for some reason... Concubine Zhao was not there at that time. That bowl of medicine was handed over by Concubine Zhao!"
She didn't say everything she said, but Emperor Zongwen understood it. At that time, he also felt suspicious that even if the queen didn't like Concubine Xian, she couldn't openly enter Anhe Palace, so she gave poison to Concubine Xian, and then he arrived When An He was in the palace, Concubine Xian was speechless and could only look at him crying in despair and pity, and then died of anger.
Because of this matter, Emperor Zongwen almost deposed the queen, but at that time the queen mother and the Duke of Dingguo tried to protect the queen, and after checking it himself, he felt that there was something unusual about the matter, and it did not seem to be the queen, so he spared the queen. Now this When I heard the queen mention it again, I realized if I had missed something!
Concubine Zhao, she said at the time that she didn’t know that the queen’s bowl of medicine was poison, so she personally gave the medicine to Concubine Xian. If there was a possibility that someone might have poisoned Concubine Xian, it was Concubine Zhao. The reason why she didn’t think of her at that time was because Because she was very kind to Concubine Xian, almost to the point of treating her with death. Once Concubine Xian was ill, she stayed by her bed day and night. Another time, Concubine Xian was pregnant with a child, and several concubines came to her. She was protected by Concubine Zhao, but she fell down and broke her leg...
Each of these things gave Emperor Zongwen no reason to doubt her!
But what if it is really Concubine Zhao who is pretending? Since she can do something to harm the child in Concubine Yu's belly today, then she didn't feel jealous when she was the beloved concubine Xian? If she has been hiding it deeply, I have indeed ignored her.
When one thing is suspicious, everything is questionable, and then there was the incident of Feng Jueran being poisoned. Although Concubine Xian was gone at that time, Anhe Palace itself was also closely guarded. How could Lao Ba be poisoned? Unless the poison didn't come from outside, but came from Anhe Palace itself.
In order to take care of the young Lao Ba, he asked Concubine Zhao to stay in Anhe Palace...
Emperor Zongwen's face became more and more ugly. Although these words may not be true and he had never thought about it before, but now that he thinks about it, it is not impossible. And the more he thinks about it, the more likely it is. Concubine Xian's death has always been on his mind. At this moment, I was thinking that Concubine Zhao might have harmed Concubine Xian, and then thinking that there was something in her words yesterday, her eyes were cold: "Someone, put Concubine Zhao into the cold palace."
Since he now doubts Concubine Zhao, he will of course find out the past situation.
Being thrown into the cold palace meant death. Concubine Zhao was shocked. She never expected that the emperor would be so heartless. She originally wanted to use Concubine Xian's similar expression to get the emperor's soft heart, but she didn't expect that it was the emperor who was furious. She was so helpless. , suddenly saw the Queen Mother sitting on the side, and took two steps on her knees in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please save me, please help me, the Queen Mother."
Instead of asking for permission from the emperor and queen, instead asking for permission from the queen mother, what does this mean...
The expressions of the people sitting on it all changed. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth in hatred, kicked Concubine Zhao away, and said angrily: "Here, why don't you drag this person down!"
Concubine Zhao's categorical words, with no intention of protecting her at all, completely put an end to Concubine Zhao's thoughts. Her body softened, she lay on the ground, and was pulled out unceremoniously by two eunuchs... (To be continued)
