Su'e was already injured, she went down a few boards, and soon her screams became weaker and weaker, but she died within a cup of tea, and there was a pool of bright blood under her body, which was shocking.
Su'e lost her breath, Suzhen was still carrying it, and shouted for help in fear, "The empress dowager, please forgive me, I really know my mistake..."
Even the Queen Mother gave her a wink, and the guards became more ruthless in their strikes, and after a while their shouting ceased, and they limply lay on the stool.
The fishy smell in the air became more and more intense, making people unbearably nauseous. The timid wife blushed and dared not watch any more. I am afraid that this scene will linger and will be remembered at night.
Even if the Empress Dowager killed two close female officials, even if she gave Mrs. Xiao an explanation, anyone could see that even the Empress Dowager was in a fit of anger. Anyone who dared to stand up to defend Mrs. Xiao would be courting death!
The corpses of Su'e and Suzhen were dragged down, leaving bloodstains all over the place that could not be dealt with in the future, even the Queen Mother calmly changed her posture.
The Empress Dowager Lian glanced at Mrs. Xiao, "I have made Mrs. Xiao feel wronged. Let the imperial doctor treat the old lady well. If you need anything, just mention it to the palace. The Ai family will definitely catch the assassin and give the old lady an explanation."
Even the empress dowager's intentions were revealed, and she said, "The old lady is so lucky to have such a filial granddaughter. If Miss Xiao is not so intelligent, the Ai family still can't believe it. The slaves who have been with the Ai family for many years How dare you do such a rebellious thing.”
Mrs. Xiao smiled weakly at Empress Dowager Lian upon hearing the words, "Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern, the woman is fine now."
Seeing that Mrs. Xiao was sensible enough not to hold on tightly, even the Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, her face softening a lot.
"The Ai family was negligent for a while. Today is the birthday of the King Chen. The Ai family is very happy that all the wives can enter the palace to celebrate the birthday of the King Chen. We don't need to disturb Yaxing because of these unpleasant things."
After the words fell, many people followed suit, and the work was over, even the queen mother symbolically ordered the guards to investigate the assassins, and then went to the imperial garden for the banquet, as if all this had never happened.
The ladies did not dare to say a word, and followed the Queen Mother Lian to leave, talking and laughing all the way, the atmosphere was very good.
Xiao Concubine's hand was always held by Mrs. Xiao, "Xiao Jiu, just stay with grandma."
Mrs. Xiao, who had just stepped back from the gate of hell, cherished this family affection very much. From the moment she entered the palace, she was already mentally prepared.
As long as Prince Chen still holds the military power in his hands, and the Empress Dowager Lian hasn't committed any major crimes, even Emperor Dong Ming can't do anything to the Empress Dowager Lian.
How could concubine Xiao not understand what Mrs. Xiao meant, the more trouble she made, the more she followed the Empress Dowager's wishes. When there is no way to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, don't act rashly.
"Xiao Jiu understands."
Princess Chaoren stayed at the end, glanced at Mrs. Xiao, and gloated, "Do you really want to continue to participate in the banquet with the scars on your body?"
Old Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth tightly, with a faint smile on her face, "Since we are here, how can we leave because of this? Let the princess down."
Princess Chaoren covered her mouth with a smile, twisted her body and left in a self-defeating way.
Mrs. Xiao said to the guard, "Send Miss Qingyang back to the Xiao family."
"yes!"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xiao looked at Zhao Zun again, and her eyes were full of satisfaction. Zhao Zun protected Concubine Xiao in front of so many people today, and did not hesitate to commit the following crimes. With this friendship and courage, Mrs. Xiao One hundred people agreed to let Xiao Concubine marry him.
"We'll talk about everything when we go back." Mrs. Xiao smiled, and Zhao Zun nodded.
As soon as Concubine Xiao helped Mrs. Xiao to the Imperial Garden, she heard two young maids hurried past them, still talking from time to time.
"The concubine Yugui has shed a lot of blood, I'm afraid the child in her stomach will not be able to keep it."
"Mrs. Xiao is too cruel. How could she attack an unborn child?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's body froze, she glanced at Concubine Xiao, "Go and have a look!"
When everyone arrived, Rong Yue was restrained by two nuns and knelt on the ground, even the Queen Mother angrily stepped forward and kicked Rong Yue, raised her hand and slapped Rong Yue to the ground.
"You are so courageous, you dare to attack the emperor's heir, do you know who the concubine Yugui is!"
Rong Yue's white and tender face was set against five bruised and purple palm prints, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, the footprint on his chest was very conspicuous, his hair was disheveled, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Rong Yue raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Xiao and Concubine Xiao who had rushed over not far away. Except for some scars on Mrs. Xiao's body, the rest was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop!" Xiao Concubine took a quick step, stepped forward to stop Empress Dowager Lian, protected Rong Yue behind her, and directly met Empress Dowager Lian's eyes.
At that moment, there was a warm current in Rong Yue's heart. It was Rong Yue's blessing to marry into the Xiao family in this life.
"I don't know what mistake my mother made, which deserves such a big fight from the empress dowager, to punish her in public?"
One of the wives stepped forward, "Miss Xiao, your mother is so cruel, she actually pushed Concubine Yugui, causing Concubine Yugui to almost have a miscarriage, and now her life and death are unknown inside. The death penalty of the Nine Clans!"
Even the Empress Dowager stared at Xiao Concubine with sharp eyes, "You mother is so courageous that you dare to attack the emperor's heir. If there is any wrongdoing, the Ai family will definitely pay for her life!"
"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Concubine Xiao said coldly, "It's really strange, why all the Xiao family members had an accident today, first grandmother, then my mother, my mother met Yugui concubine for the first time today In the past, there was no injustice or enmity, so how could you hurt the concubine Yugui in the palace, and it was the concubine Yugui who asked the maid to invite my mother. This lady dares to slander the dignified Princess Xiyue indiscriminately. You really mean it! Do you provoke the relationship between the two countries?"
There was no need for Rong Yue to speak, Xiao Concubine understood everything, Rong Yue's entire face was numb, it was burning with pain, but her heart was warm, in this strange country, there was still a family who protected her.
The lady who was accused by Concubine Xiao blushed, and immediately retorted, "What nonsense, so many people present have seen it, don't spit blood!"
Even the Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Concubine with even more coldness in her eyes, and raised her hand to slap Xiao Concubine on the cheek.
"I don't understand the rules! Just now Aijia endured it again and again, but I didn't want you to push your nose on your face."
Concubine Xiao was caught off guard by a slap, and her face became numb with burning heat.
"Small... Nine?"
Everyone understood that the Hongmen Banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager was for the Xiao family, so they didn't dare to speak for the Xiao family anymore, they just lowered their heads and pretended to be dumb.
Even the queen mother gave a wink, and one of the women who restrained Rong Yue slapped Rong Yue.
Concubine Xiao sneered, she protected Rong Yue, and slapped the nanny with her backhand.
"You are presumptuous! You are a slave and a servant, and you are inferior to others. Although my father has resigned, my mother is a first-rank lady who was conferred by the emperor himself. You, a little servant, dare to do something to my mother. Who will give you the courage to die?" !"
Concubine Xiao was like a crazy little beast, baring her fangs and looking at the nanny viciously. The nanny was startled suddenly, shrank her neck and backed away.
Even the Empress Dowager's complexion changed suddenly, and she became the person that Xiao Concubine said she didn't know how to live or die. Before she could speak, she heard Xiao Concubine say again, "Drawing a definition before the matter is clear, disregarding human life, is this the way the Empress Dowager handles it?"
"What else is there? Rong Yue is the only daughter of General Rong Yue of Xiyue. General Rong loves Rong Yue very much. He has military power in his hands. He has a lot of power in Xiyue. If something goes wrong with Rong Yue, Xiyue will definitely take this money. The blame is on Dong Ming's head, when the time comes, the emperor will definitely be hated by Xiyue, or it will be a fight, the right prime minister resigns, the emperor is restrained by Xiyue, and the people who will benefit in the end are self-evident."
Zhao Zun clenched his fists tightly, looked at the vivid slap print on Concubine Xiao's face, and there was a strong hostility in his eyes, which made even the Queen Mother startled.
Zhao Zun's words directly named Rong Yue's position in Xiyue. Concubine Yugui is a concubine princess, so why not Rong Yue, who also has a father who is a general.
Another meaning is that the empress dowager and Chen Wang's mother and son have evil intentions and deliberately provoke troubles, and finally a fisherman will benefit.
After all, it has been so many years, and everyone knows that the Empress Dowager's mind is Sima Zhaozhi's. She wholeheartedly wants to help King Chen ascend the throne, and drags Emperor Dongming into the water regardless of all consequences. Everyone knows it well, but they don't say it clearly.
But he didn't expect Zhao Zun to expose him all of a sudden. Once he said this, if King Chen really came to power in the future and his reputation would be rotten, he would be blamed.
"Zhao Zun!" The Empress Dowager Lian squeezed out two words from between her teeth, and looked at Zhao Zun with sharp eyes, "Don't you want to spout blood, don't think that Aijia can't do anything to you, don't forget, here is Palace!"
Zhao Zun sneered, "Of course Zhao knows that it is the imperial palace, the territory of the emperor, and everything in Dongming belongs to the emperor."
"Come here, take Zhao Zun to the Ai family and lock him up. No one is allowed to visit without the Ai family's permission!"
Even the Empress Dowager really didn't want to see Zhao Zun's face, she had already failed once, this time she had to be charged with murdering the emperor's heir and uproot the entire Xiao family.
Zhao Zun raised his lips, "Today, the emperor ordered Zhao to protect the safety of the palace, so I'm sorry!"
Two groups of people drew their swords and faced each other, neither giving way.
Even the empress dowager's brain throbbed with anger, and she glanced at the guards, "What about the emperor, why didn't the emperor come when such a big thing happened!"
"yes!"
Even the Empress Dowager didn't believe that Emperor Dongming would protect Zhao Zun like this. While waiting for Emperor Dongming, Lian Empress Dowager glanced at a lady in the crowd.
"Empress Dowager, it is a fact that Mrs. Xiao pushed Concubine Yugui, and my wife saw it with her own eyes." The lady immediately stood up and accused Rong Yue, "My wife heard that Concubine Yugui has not adapted to life in the palace these days. There was no one to talk with, so when she was pregnant, she was naturally sentimental. It just so happened that Concubine Yugui and Mrs. Xiao came from a foreign country, so the two of them were naturally closer than others, and it happened that Mrs. Xiao was entering the palace, so they called Xiao Madame is talking, who knows..."
Concubine Xiao caught a glimpse of a foreign-looking little palace lady walking towards this side, so she hurriedly asked, "Madam, could it be possible that you saw my mother push Yugui concubine with your own eyes?"
"Yes, yes, Concubine Yugui must want to talk about her hometown with Mrs. Xiao. I also saw with my own eyes that two people dismissed the maid in the pavilion and wanted to have a good chat. At that time, the three wives and I happened to be in another pavilion. See clearly."
As if afraid that Miss Xiao would not believe it, she said a few more words to insist, and the wives nodded in agreement.
"Who knew Mrs. Xiao had a bad intention and deliberately pushed her into the back pool while no one was paying attention. I don't know what's going on inside. I hope the little prince is safe and sound."
Another lady also clasped her hands together and kept praying for Concubine Yugui, "I've heard that Madam Xiao is impatient and not easy to get along with, but I didn't expect that she would start a fight if she didn't agree with each other. It's fine if Concubine Yugui is not pregnant. After all, children are innocent."
The weeping little maid approached, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Queen Mother Lian.
"I beg the empress dowager to make the decision for your concubine and punish this cruel woman. Yugui has been pregnant for more than five months and has made many clothes for children. If your concubine wakes up, she will definitely not be able to withstand the blow. The concubine was spoiled and raised since she was a child, and she has never been wronged in the slightest, but now she is framed in Dongming country, if the king finds out, he will be angry."
The little palace lady was also clever, and she also involved barbarians in her words, giving Concubine Yugui enough confidence.
Concubine Xiao looked at the little maid, "What is the reason why my mother attacked Concubine Yugui? One is a high-ranking concubine, and the other is an ordinary woman. What can the two argue about?"
The little palace maid rolled her eyes, "It was Madam Xiao who deliberately taunted my mother for being rejected by the Right Prime Minister. My mother and Madam Xiao explained it several times. Madam Xiao was so jealous that she did this in a fit of annoyance." .”
Concubine Xiao sneered, and pointed at the lady who spoke just now with one hand, "Just now you said that my mother and Concubine Yugui dismissed the maids and wanted to have a good chat. Since there is no waiter, why does this little maid know so clearly? So, which of the two of you two is true?"
The little maid was stunned for a moment, and followed her eyes to look at the lady. The lady choked, her face flushed red, seeing that everyone was looking at her, her anxious tongue was almost tied up.
"Maybe it's because you don't pay much attention when you're chatting..." the lady stammered and explained.
"You said it clearly just now, and these three wives also testified against my mother. Why didn't you admit it in a blink of an eye? Everyone heard it clearly. How dare you lie in front of the queen mother? But capital punishment!"
Concubine Xiao said, the faces of the ladies changed drastically, and she quickly explained, "Perhaps we got a little involved in the conversation later, so we didn't care much. We went to enjoy the lake, and we didn't just stare at the two of you. If we knew the result earlier, we would definitely to stop it."
Even the Queen Mother nodded, "This explanation is correct, and you can't stare at the two of them all the time. There are only your mother and Concubine Yugui in the pavilion. Concubine Yugui will definitely not make fun of the child in her belly, except your mother. Who!"
Concubine Xiao was waiting, calmed down and looked for flaws.
At this moment, the door of the room opened, and several imperial physicians came out, and the palace maids passed by carrying basins of bloody water. Anyone who had given birth knew that it must be impossible to keep it.
"Oh, what a pity." One of the ladies sighed, and looked at the other two ladies, with a look of complacency in their eyes.
"Queen Dowager, it's such a pity that such a good prince is gone. Please mourn, Queen Mother." Princess Chaoren took a step forward and comforted her. His eyes were full of gloating. After today, the big house will be completely finished!
Even the Empress Dowager pretended to be sad and annoyed, as if she cared more about the child in Concubine Yugui's womb.
An imperial doctor said, "My lady, Yugui is not pregnant, but Dongming is not used to it for the first time, and because of the knot in his heart, he postponed the sunflower water, and his stomach gradually swelled and accumulated for several months. Kuishui, if it hadn't fallen into the water today, I'm afraid it will collapse and die in a month."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, including even the queen mother, "This is absolutely impossible. So many imperial doctors have checked the pulse, and they are pregnant. So it is possible that sunflower water has accumulated?"
The rest of the imperial physicians nodded in agreement, "Returning to what the Empress Dowager said, what Imperial Physician Liu said is true. This pulse condition is so similar to pregnancy that it is misdiagnosed. Yugui concubine's sunflower water has been cleaned up, and there is no sign of miscarriage at all. Empress Dowager If you don’t believe me, just send someone to investigate.”
Even the Queen Mother didn't believe it, "Where is the imperial physician, go and invite all the imperial physicians to Ai's family!"
At this time, Eunuch He rushed over with the imperial edict in hand, "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Even the Queen Mother's eyelids twitched, with an ominous premonition, why did the imperial decree come at this time
Everyone knelt down one after another, and Eunuch He opened the imperial decree, "Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor Zhao said, Mr. Xiao has done a great job in protecting the king and saving me from danger. I was deeply injured and I was afraid that I could not handle the government affairs. Xiao Wei was appointed as the regent of the current dynasty." Your Majesty, I will handle all matters, big or small, on my behalf, and no one shall raise any objections until I recover from my wounds, this is yours!"
"The emperor was besieged by assassins just now. Fortunately, the regent arrived in time and saved the emperor's life. The emperor is seriously injured now. He dare not delay the treatment. Several imperial doctors will come with this old slave!"
