Soon after, the imperial physician resigned and left the capital to return to his hometown. Three years later, he died in an accident...
A few years ago, when the queen felt that everything was ingrained and irreversible, she wanted to cure the increasingly unbearable headache and pain between the chest and diaphragm, but as time went by, there was almost no cure. Until the appearance of Marquis Changping...
Enduring so many years of chronic illness, this can be said to be the queen's own fault. Aunt Qing felt that it was a bit unfair to put this on Concubine Sun Gui. Of course, she would never dare to say those words.
Seeing Aunt Qing like this, the Empress sighed softly, and said softly: "That bitch is a dying person, it's okay if you can't bear her, after all, it won't affect us any more. I hope you won't continue to make such mistakes in other things! Do you hear me clearly?"
Aunt Qing's heart shuddered, her face almost changed drastically in shock. Although the queen didn't say anything clearly, she could hear very clearly that the queen was referring to the prince's affairs.
Because the third prince has been quietly pushed out by the empress, the emperor may still be guessing about the disaster relief matter, but Aunt Qing knows that the empress has already arranged people to help in secret, so this errand The third prince will definitely meet with success.
Then, from now on, he will no longer be that unknown third prince, the emperor will greatly appreciate him, and will start to pay more attention to him!
According to the queen's previous plan, the unwilling fourth prince would poison the prince to death, and then the fourth prince would be executed by the emperor, so the third prince would become the emperor's only son. And that's it!
However, the queen missed the fourth prince! He escaped!
With his escape, the prince also escaped.
With the prince's heart, after the third prince returns to Beijing, he will definitely be jealous and hold a grudge! Then, the queen will not let the prince live for too long...
Aunt Qing's hands were covered with cold sweat, sticky and wet, and her heart beat wildly uncontrollably.
She knew well that the crown prince was not the queen's own son, but just a pawn used to fight against Concubine Zheng when Zheng Guifei was still there. After Zheng Guifei died, there was no need for the prince to live.
But before the empress had the right time to arrange the death of the prince, the concubine whom the emperor favored was pregnant and became even more favored by the emperor. The queen suddenly changed her mind - she still had to keep the prince to deal with the child in Concubine Sun's belly!
And she figured it out pretty quickly. Even if Concubine Sun gave birth to a princess instead of a prince, there will always be princes born in the future, so it is better to keep the prince! Anyway, it is impossible for him to escape from her control, even if he succeeds in the future, she is capable of getting rid of him.
The throne still belongs to her own son!
But everyone has feelings, and Aunt Qing is different from the Queen. Over the years, Aunt Qing has taken care of the prince a lot, and she has more or less genuine concern and affection for him.
Hearing the queen's words, she immediately fell into deep conflict and pain, but her face was calm, and she lowered her eyes and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will not do anything wrong!"
"It's fine if you don't!" The queen smiled softly and said softly: "You have been by my side for so many years, you are the person I trust and rely on the most, I believe that you will not betray me !"
Aunt Qing became more and more uneasy, and nodded with a smile.
The queen respectfully went to Emperor Xiangqing to reply to the decree, saying that Concubine Sun Guifei knew that she had committed a serious crime and took the poisoned wine on her own initiative, and asked her to bring a message to the emperor to let him take care of the dragon's body.
After she finished speaking, she paused again, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine has already ordered someone to bury her, please rest assured..."
When Emperor Xiangqing heard what the empress said first, he felt a little sad in his heart. After all, Concubine Sun Gui was his bedside person for so many years and even gave birth to a child for him.
But when he heard the last sentence, his complexion turned cold, and he sneered, "Don't worry? I don't worry about it! Huh, it's indeed a heinous crime for her to raise such a good son! Queen, you are too kind, and you even ordered him to be buried properly. , in my opinion, it should be rolled up in a broken mat and thrown into a random grave!"
The queen just smiled slightly when she heard this, lowered her eyes and did not speak.
Emperor Xiangqing finally wiped away the last trace of his feelings for Concubine Sun Gui, waved his hand, and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to mention her in front of me again! Sigh!"
He sighed heavily, a little dazed.
The queen hesitated slightly after hearing this, and answered "Yes" with a sigh, and then fell silent.
The two didn't speak for a while, as if they were waiting for the other to speak. Emperor Xiangqing even raised his eyes to look at the queen twice, feeling a little impatient.
The empress had studied him thoroughly a long time ago. Seeing this, she knew that the time had come, so she said softly: "If the emperor has no other orders, the concubine will leave!"
Emperor Xiangqing hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "Queen, when did you become so estranged with me? Is there anything we dare not say between you? You have never thought about pleading for the prince's mercy." ?"
After being hit one after another in a short period of time, Emperor Xiangqing's heart was already extremely exhausted. He is also a human being, not a god!
He suddenly felt that compared with the fourth child, the mistakes made by the prince were not worth mentioning at all!
One of the three sons was out for disaster relief, the other was under house arrest, and the other was officially "dead". There was an indescribable melancholy and emptiness in his heart.
The queen trembled slightly when she heard the words, her eyes tightened.
She avoided Emperor Xiangqing's eyes in a panic, lowered her head and said softly: "What the prince has done, the concubine is also very sad. The concubine is his mother, of course she wants to intercede for him! But, the emperor, it is not yet It's time, it's not time to let him out, let him continue to reflect on himself! This is also for his own good... "
Emperor Xiangqing was startled, and after a little thought, he understood what the empress meant.
At this time, the fourth child made such a big mess and "judged himself in fear of crime", and Concubine Sun Guifei was already dead. If the prince was released, the prince would be even more complacent, right
It's really not good for him!
"It's because I was negligent!" Emperor Xiangqing laughed, nodded lightly and said: "Empress, you think thoroughly! It's up to you, let's do it first! When he really repents, I will let her out!"
He sighed again as he spoke, and sighed faintly: "I hope he can understand our painstaking efforts!"
The queen pouted in her heart, and said to herself: Him? His arrogant, self-righteous nature, it would be strange to understand...
He's not my own son, but just a pavement guy. Is it possible that I will really teach him well
"He will definitely," the queen said softly, with a gentle face all over her face: "If not, your majesty, you will love him for nothing, and your concubine will teach him for nothing!"
Emperor Xiangqing nodded and smiled knowingly with her.
Not long after the empress returned to Kunning Palace, she heard a report from outside the door: The empress of the crown prince came to pay her respects to the empress of the empress!
The Queen's brows immediately frowned, and she complained to Aunt Qing: "It's never over! It won't stop for a moment! You go out and tell her to let them all stay in the East Palace and think about it honestly. Come on, let's go!"
Aunt Qing had no choice but to agree to go out and talk.
How could the Crown Princess believe that this was what the Empress herself meant, so she pestered Aunt Qing and said, "Did Aunt really report it to the Queen Mother? I am here to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. How could it be possible that the Queen Mother did not see me!"
Aunt Qing sighed in her heart, Queen Xindao is not stupid, so why don't you know that you have another purpose in greeting you? It's not that I want to talk about it! But, how could the queen tell you that!
"Princess Concubine, please go back!" Aunt Qing said lightly: "How dare I have the guts to deceive the Crown Princess, this is indeed the Queen's order."
The Crown Princess hurriedly laughed and said, "Aunt Qing, don't be upset. I have no other intentions. It's just that I have other important matters to ask the Queen Mother for advice, and I also brought the words of the Crown Prince! Aunt Qing, please come again." Go and report to the queen mother!"
But Aunt Qing shook her head and said: "Princess Concubine, the empress has already made it clear, you should go back quickly! You tell the prince what the empress said to the prince and let him do it! Empress I'm a little tired now, I won't see you again!"
The princess is not happy. No matter how much Aunt Qing is valued by the empress, she is still just a servant girl. Compared with the prince, she is a world apart! It's unreasonable for her to dare to speak like that!
"Aunt Qing, what do you mean?" The princess concubine said with a downcast face, "Why does it sound like you are trying to provoke the relationship between the queen mother and the prince? You didn't report it, so how do you know that the queen mother will never see me? You don't want to go." Okay, you get out of the way for Ben Gong, and Ben Gong will go by himself!"
"I don't dare!" Aunt Qing knelt down, but she still stopped the Crown Princess so hard, she didn't give in at all, and said indifferently: "The empress said that if you don't see me, you won't see me. If you keep talking, the empress will blame you There is nothing wrong with the servant, I am afraid that even the Crown Princess will blame you! You should go back, the servant will never let you in today!"
Putting it in, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted
"You!" The crown princess stared angrily, and wanted to force her way in a fit of anger.
Aunt Qing winked, and several eunuchs with thick waists silently blocked her.
The Crown Princess was really angry this time, and said angrily: "Aunt Qing, you are so brave!"
Aunt Qing always said one word from beginning to end: "Please go back!"
The Crown Princess had nothing to do with her, so she had no choice but to turn around and leave in resentment.
"Your Majesty," after Aunt Qing made sure that she was gone, she went back to report clearly to the queen, and couldn't help but said, "Tell me, if the crown prince listens to your words... wouldn't it be—"
The queen sneered slightly, and said unhurriedly: "You think highly of him! At this time, he won't listen to what I say. He will only think that I am timid. Just wait and see!"
Besides, the Crown Princess returned to the East Palace angrily, and the Crown Prince, who had already been waiting impatiently, immediately came up and asked, "How is it? What did the Queen Mother say?"
