"Old lady."
Mrs. Chen didn't speak. After all, she was getting old. She was already exhausted after struggling for so long. If there was someone nearby, it would be fine for her to say a few more words, but Concubine Hu Guifei and others actually left, leaving her here alone. There were many court ladies and eunuchs nearby, but no one dared to come up to pull her.
But Mrs. Chen knew that her method had already worked. With the current momentum, without the help of the empress or even the Chen family, just relying on other concubines in the palace, it is enough for the imperial concubine to eat a pot.
"Old lady."
"Princess Wei, you don't need to say any more. Today, the old lady came to plead guilty to the imperial concubine, and it has nothing to do with you."
Feng Sheng squatted down in front of her with a smile, and said: "Madam, you are thinking too much, I am not here to persuade you. I just see that you are so old and foolish that you will die, and I feel a little bit unbearable."
She said the last two sentences in a very low voice, just in time for Mrs. Chen to hear her, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she looked at Feng Sheng like a monster, not understanding why she said that.
"The old lady actually understands the love of daughters and sons, but it's a pity that she used the wrong method. If I guessed correctly, the old lady's idea was to get rid of the matter with the queen, and then pretend to be pitiful, so that Show your remorse for what you did wrong back then?"
Before Mrs. Chen could reply, she said again: "It's a pity that Mrs. Chen has been on top for too long. She has never suffered or suffered. Even if she knows what to do in her heart to achieve the best results, she is somewhat uneasy. Because You can't get over it, you made such a fuss, because you can't get over it, you're determined to force the imperial concubine to a dead end, because you can't get over it, even if you want to pretend to be pitiful, it's a pity that this face still shows it With a ferocious ferocity."
She sighed and smiled melancholy: "You counted people's hearts and took into account the reactions of other people in the palace. If I'm not wrong, the empress must be pretending to be sick in Kunning Palace right now. You mother and daughter The two have a tacit understanding. Even if they don't need to collude, they know what to do is the best. But I actually feel sorry for you and the empress. One has lived a long time and is an old prince. Grandsons and even great-grandsons You have it, but you have to kneel down in full view of a junior, the daughter of the woman you hated the most back then.
"As for the empress, it's ridiculous and sad to sacrifice her own mother to save herself after vainly becoming a country and enjoying all the honors in the world."
"you-"
Feng Sheng still smiled, with a gentle and considerate smile: "Madam, don't be angry, I just analyze the current situation for you and tell you where you are wrong."
"You don't need to waste your time here, I know what I want to do!" Probably knowing that her words should not fall on people's ears, Mrs. Chen's voice was extremely low.
"You really know?"
The woman in front of me was really annoying, whether it was her smile or her tone of voice, they all stimulated Mrs. Chen's nerves, making her skinny old hands full of age spots twitch and twitch.
"Do you really know?" Feng Sheng repeated, shaking his head with a smile: "You don't know! You have counted all people's hearts, but you forgot to count one person." She leaned forward and looked at Old Man Chen With cloudy eyes, "You forgot to include His Majesty."
Her eyes were dark and shimmering, as if there was a pool of water in them. Mrs. Chen could even see her own face in her pupils, an old face with astonishment and fear.
"With what happened before, what do you think of your mother and daughter in His Majesty's mind? A pair of despicable, shameless, hypocritical mother and daughter, you have done all the dirty things, and you still have to pretend to be merciful and condescending, You have to be condescending and trample everyone down to show your innocence. Now that you do this again, do you think His Majesty has more pity for you and the empress, or more pity for the innocent and humiliated concubine
"Look, how pitiful, an old mother who took all the faults on herself, and a daughter who was implicated and fell ill. The daughter can ignore the elderly mother, come and beg the opponent's forgiveness, and lie innocently in the palace Pretend to be sick, just to get rid of yourself and show that you don't know.
"But don't you think this is too contrived? Shouldn't a normal person's reaction be to stop by crying and would rather suffer than let her mother be humiliated? Mrs. Chen, you have taught your daughter so well, you are calm enough, It is also selfish enough. It is precisely this calmness that makes people feel that everything is too deliberate."
Mrs. Chen's cheeks were already twitching, as if suffering from epilepsy.
Feng Sheng looked at her with pity in his eyes: "Actually, I can't blame the queen. You broke the boat beyond her expectation and really frightened her. If I'm not wrong, the old lady came here because the queen asked the Chen family for help. Does the old lady know that the empress actually wants you to put this matter aside in silence, to show repentance, and to tell His Majesty that you knew you were wrong, instead of acting like this."
To carry this matter down in silence
Madam Chen looked at the pity in the other party's eyes, and her heart trembled uncontrollably.
That's right, that's right, in fact, she thought about it before, there is another way to solve this matter, she doesn't need to spend any more words, just letting herself die suddenly in the Chen Mansion is enough to explain everything.
Everything is her sin and has nothing to do with anyone, but her tragic death can win His Majesty's mercy, and he can't bear to care too much about it. But she lived her whole life, even though she knew she might not live for a few years, she couldn't make up her mind to die like this.
There is a bottom line in everyone's heart that no one can touch. How could she be forced to death by that woman or even her daughter? It would make her unable to sleep a wink under Jiuquan, so she ignored the best way , chose another path that made him lose face.
She felt that she had sacrificed enough, not only herself but also the face of the Chen family was humiliated by her, but as long as she could succeed, it was nothing, but now she was told that it was too clever to calculate the organ, but missed a big deal.
"And you probably forgot that even if you have taken the limelight, the world will think you are pitiful and innocent, but as long as His Majesty doesn't think so, your efforts will be in vain. But it's too late to say anything now, the facts have already been cast, old man You should go back quickly, don't waste your time here, it will only bring more disgust to His Majesty."
Mrs. Chen couldn't catch her breath and passed away.
"Old madam, old madam? Look at your age, no matter how much you persuade, you won't listen to it. Come quickly, and get the imperial physician." Feng Sheng raised her voice anxiously, but a trace of impatience flashed in her half-down eyes.
The imperial doctor who was originally invited to see the imperial concubine was first transferred to Mrs. Chen.
Qianru had no choice but to ask someone to invite the imperial physician again. King Wei rushed to him after receiving the news, and Emperor Jianping also came after a while.
Emperor Jianping had a dark face, obviously angry.
The imperial concubine half leaned on the soft pillow and asked the imperial physician to check her pulse. After examining the pulse, the imperial doctor said that the imperial concubine was just out of breath, and there was nothing serious about it. She just needed to take care of her for a while, but she should not get angry anymore, so as not to cause headaches.
"How is the old lady?" the imperial concubine asked.
"What do you care about her? I have a headache, so don't take care of myself." Emperor Jianping said.
The imperial concubine lowered her head and did not speak.
Emperor Jianping also knew that his tone was not good, and seeing her pale face, he was very pitiful, and said: "I am not annoying you, but other people. You are too, too soft-tempered, let her make trouble? Let people beat you." Let her go out! Yesterday you advised me that this matter has nothing to do with the empress, but now that I look at it, it still has nothing to do with it?!! That old godly woman was actually forced to come to the majestic imperial concubine's palace, who can gain power!"
As he said that, Emperor Jianping became angry again, and kicked the embroidered pier at his feet, followed by a few plops, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace knelt down.
"Your Majesty..."
"Okay, I won't talk anymore, you take good care of your illness, there are ministers waiting in the imperial study, and I will come to see you when I am done with work.",
Emperor Jianping came and went in a hurry, but he did not forget Mrs. Chen who was still in Xianfu Palace, and ordered Fu Lu to send her back to Chen's Mansion.
He didn't say anything else, but it was precisely because he didn't say anything that made his heart palpitate.
After Emperor Jianping left, Feng Sheng and King Wei came to the bed.
"mother."
"Feng'er, thank you. It's also my mother who is too useless, and this matter finally got you out of the way."
"Mother, I actually didn't do anything." Feng Sheng said shyly.
Naturally, the imperial concubine would not believe what she said. Although she didn't know what happened outside, she also heard from Qianru that it was Princess Wei and Mrs. Chen who said something that caused the other party to faint due to the stimulation.
"It's getting late, you and Yue'er take the child back, I scared Brother Ping today, I'm afraid he will make trouble at night, so let the nanny be more careful when you go back. Yue'er, you bring an imperial doctor back ,in case."
King Wei agreed and left with Feng Sheng.
After getting into the carriage, Wei Wang said: "The matter is over, don't think too much about it."
"I didn't think much about it, but I felt that it was too strange for me to say those harsh words to an old man, but I felt that it was not wrong. I would still do it again, and my mood was a little complicated."
