"Crown princess, this group of people is too much, the young master is still so young, he actually poured soothing soup!"
Qingyu was furious and became more and more dissatisfied with the Yingchuan Hou Mansion. No matter what conflicts there were between the adults, the children were innocent after all. It would be too insane to do so.
Xiao Concubine's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at several imperial physicians, "Look for the young master!"
Several imperial physicians hurriedly nodded and rushed forward to give Chu Xin pulse and acupuncture.
Xiao Yu glanced at Princess Chaoyi at the side again, and ordered several other imperial physicians to treat Princess Chaoyi's illness. The imperial physicians were all shocked to see that Princess Chaoyi was covered with scars.
Good princess, how could she be hurt
Xiao Yu raised her feet and went out, stood on the porch and looked at the distance not far away in a daze, how similar Princess Chaoyi was to herself in her previous life, the difference was that Princess Chaoyi had already repented.
"Crown princess, the princess and the young master are so pitiful."
Qing Yu said in a low voice, "The young master is already weak, and now he has an injury on his forehead. The imperial doctor said that his eyes are most likely injured."
Concubine Xiao tensed her body, and let out a long sigh, "This child is really suffering, since I have met him, I will not sit idly by."
The first time I saw Chu Xin was at Chu Xin's birthday banquet, Chu Xin threw herself into her arms, and innocently grabbed Xiao Concubine's hand, she was as thin as a cat, with a milky voice He called out to his aunt angrily.
Chu Xin is well-behaved and smart, and even Xiao Concubine couldn't help but be conquered.
"Crown Princess..." Qing Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Yingchuanhou's Mansion is an important official of the imperial court. It has made great achievements over the years and has been used by the emperor. If the Yingchuanhou's mansion is punished because of the princess, I'm afraid it will make people feel uncomfortable." Those who are loyal to the emperor are chilling."
Xiao Yu nodded, this is also her entanglement, "After all, this is a matter of the back house, and has nothing to do with the previous dynasty. You can't generalize and throw the fault to the Houfu. Besides, Yingchuan Hou fought the enemy bravely and returned to Beijing with serious injuries. , the emperor will give some rewards based on emotion and reason."
This matter was indeed a bit tricky, Xiao Concubine was lost in thought looking not far away, and after a while, Mint hurried over.
"Princess, the princess is awake."
Hearing this, Xiao Concubine retracted her gaze, and turned to look at Princess Chaoyue.
Princess Chaoyi just woke up, she was still groggy, her face was as pale as paper, she forced a smile when she saw Concubine Xiao.
"Thank you, Second Sister-in-Law, for your rescue."
Xiao Yu glanced at the wound on Princess Zhaoji, "The price you have to do is too high, and if you are a little careless, you may lose your life."
Princess Chaoxi smiled, "Sister-in-law, there is no other choice right now. If I don't do anything, how can father be angry?"
Concubine Xiao nodded and asked again, "Then what are your plans now?"
Princess Chaoji rubbed her swollen head, and was silent for a while, "Now Yingchuanhou is an important minister. Although father is angry, he may not make the decision for me. It's just a small punishment and a big punishment."
"Hasn't the princess thought about reconciling?" Xiao Concubine asked suddenly.
Princess Chaoji smiled wryly, "Chu Bai doesn't want to let Xin'er go, so what's the point of me going out alone."
Xiao Concubine's eyes moved slightly, "The prince of Yingchuanhou is unwilling, but Mrs. Yingchuanhou is very anxious that the princess will leave the Hou's mansion. As for Xin'er, she even hopes to leave early."
Princess Chaoyi suddenly glanced at Xiao Yan, and after a while Xiao Yan said, "Princess, if you think about it, I will have a way to make the princess reconcile, but in the future, the princess will inevitably be criticized by others. My son has become a child of ordinary people."
Princess Chaoji gritted her teeth when she heard the words, "Xin'er will lose his life sooner or later if he stays in the Hou's mansion. It's better to leave the mansion to find a way out. I'd rather he be ordinary than let him be in fear day and night."
Xiao Yu nodded, thinking of a way to get Princess Chaoyi out of the Hou Mansion, without leaving with a bad reputation.
Once the reputation of Princess Chaoxi is damaged, Chu Xin's fate will be affected in the future.
"Chaoji, since you understand what the emperor is thinking, instead of yelling and embarrassing the emperor, you should take a step back and endure this matter, so that the emperor will feel guilty for you and will do no harm to Xin'er in the future."
Xiao Yan lowered her voice and said softly, Princess Chaoyue looked at Xiao Yan puzzled, Xiao Yan said again, "This disturbance will at most make the emperor punish you with a small punishment, and you and the emperor will also be separated, let alone hurt you." The foundation of the Hou Mansion is that people tend to sympathize with the weak, Zhao Yu, do you understand?"
Princess Chaoyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "What the second wife of the emperor said, Chaoyi understands."
After a while, Eunuch Li, who was beside Emperor Xiyue, trotted all the way to the Imperial Hospital.
"Crown princess, princess, the emperor asks you both to go to the Yizheng Hall immediately."
At first glance, Eunuch Li took a deep breath when he saw the wound on Princess Chaoji's forehead and the red and swollen cheeks.
This is too serious.
Xiao Concubine nodded slightly, glanced at Qingyu, Qingyu immediately said, "Young master has finished the acupuncture, you can go for half an hour."
"Let several imperial physicians from the imperial hospital follow and serve."
Qingyu nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Xiao Yu left the Imperial Hospital with strides, and went first, with Princess Chaoyi and Chu Xin behind her being carried to the Yizheng Hall.
As soon as I got closer, I heard Mrs. Yingchuanhou crying, and as expected, Mrs. Yingchuanhou cried and felt wronged with the wound on her face. Princess Asahi.
Although the words contained the meaning of complaining about Concubine Xiao, they never dared to slander Concubine Xiao back then, the words were very cryptic.
Xiao Concubine stepped into the door, "I pay my respects to my father."
Emperor Xiyue glanced at Xiao Concubine, then waved his hands, "Prince Princess, you don't need to be polite, get up."
"Thank you, Father."
After a while, Princess Chaoyi and Chu Xin were carried in.
Concubine Zhao's originally calm expression suddenly became agitated, and she quickly walked two steps and stood beside Princess Chaoyi.
"Morning!"
When Princess Chaoyi saw Concubine Zhao, her eyes turned red, and she immediately shed tears, "Concubine Mother, it's my son who is not filial."
Concubine Zhao looked at Princess Chaoyi and Chu Xin covered with scars, and clenched her fists angrily. Seeing that Chu Xin was being carried up and still unconscious, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Xin'er?"
"Returning to your mother's words, young master, this is caused by drinking too much calming soup. After a while, he will wake up around noon tomorrow."
The words of the imperial physician brought Mrs. Yingchuanhou's narration to an abrupt end, "How is this possible? How could Xin'er drink Anshen Decoction?"
"Hmph, I'm going to ask your beloved Aunt Qing, who is also a child, and Chu Shi is surrounded by several maidservants to serve her, but the eldest grandson has only one maid here, and Xin'er is not happy after feeding too much soothing soup. No crying, just drowsy, and after a long time, his mind will be damaged, that's all, he is not his own son."
Xiao Concubine's sarcasm made Mrs. Yingchuan Hou's face turn pale. She didn't expect Xiao Concubine to go to the Tai Hospital first, and did not cry to Emperor Xiyue to complain about her grievances.
Mrs. Yingchuanhou's complexion changed at that time, and she could only bite the bullet and explain the matter again, but she didn't say that Princess Chaoyi and Chu Xin were injured.
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou was about to refute immediately, but Xiao Yu said, "Everyone in the Imperial Hospital can testify that Xin'er has been in a coma for four hours, which is the decoction given in the early morning. Madam would not say Someone got in the way?"
Mrs. Yingchuanhou choked, she really wanted to say this, Xiao Yu directly moved the whole imperial hospital up, and tightly blocked Mrs. Yingchuanhou's mouth.
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou's face immediately turned embarrassing, "Crown Princess, this may be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Concubine Zhao raised her voice all of a sudden, "Feeding Anshen soup to a four-year-old child has become a misunderstanding in Madam Hou's mouth. Madam Hou's reason is really not wise. Xin'er threw it to a concubine, what kind of intentions did she have?"
Concubine Zhao's eyes were red at the moment, seeing Chu Xin's whole body hurt, her heart was tightly clenched together, "How did the injury on the forehead come about, the Hou Mansion must give me an explanation today!"
Concubine Zhao has a gentle temperament, and she lost her temper very often. This time, her eyes were red and she was in a state of anger, which made Mrs. Yingchuan Hou feel frightened.
All these messy things, even if Mrs. Yingchuan Hou has a few mouths, she can't explain it clearly. The evidence is all in front of her, how can she refute it.
"I beg your majesty to forgive me. The incident happened suddenly last night. The minister's wife was also momentarily confused. She wanted Aunt Qing to take care of her. After all, Aunt Qing has experience, and she never thought of letting Aunt Qing teach Xin'er."
There were dense beads of sweat oozing from Mrs. Yingchuanhou's forehead, and her back felt chills. The Yingchuanhou's mansion must definitely punish her.
Concubine Xiao walked over to support Concubine Zhao, "Concubine Mother, please sit down first, I believe Imperial Father will give a satisfactory explanation."
Concubine Zhao took a deep breath and sat on a chair beside her. She had never looked at Emperor Xiyue since she entered the door, but Emperor Xiyue took a few extra glances at Concubine Zhao.
At this moment, Concubine Zhao's body was slender, her face was haggard, she had lost the dignity she had when she was a queen, and she had an indifferent posture all over her body.
Concubine Zhao covered her mouth and coughed lightly because of her emotions, her whole slender figure trembled, and Emperor Xiyue frowned.
"Since Concubine Zhao is not feeling well, let's go back and rest."
Just as Concubine Zhao was about to refuse, concubine Xiao agreed, "Concubine Mother, let Xin'er go to Yiran Palace to rest for a while, and I will accompany you."
Concubine Xiao blinked at Concubine Zhao, Concubine Zhao moved her lips and hesitated for a while, then nodded, "The concubine will leave."
"My son will leave."
Concubine Xiao and Concubine Zhao left together, Mrs. Yingchuan Hou was a little surprised, but she was relieved. The mixing of these two people would only make things more difficult for Emperor Xiyue.
"Xiao Jiu..." Concubine Zhao looked puzzled.
Xiao Yu chuckled, "Having learned this lesson, my father must have become dissatisfied with Yingchuan Hou's Mansion, and Chaoyi wants to leave the Hou's Mansion, but he must not be criticized by others, and Xin'er wants to leave the Hou's Mansion in a dignified manner. "
Concubine Zhao nodded, although she didn't understand Xiao Concubine's plan, but this time, if it wasn't for Xiao Concubine, she would not know what happened to Princess Chaoyi at all, and something might happen to Chu Xin.
At this time, Hongxiu came over angrily, still a bit embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess."
Miss Xiao raised her eyebrows, "What happened?"
"Princess Concubine, I met Concubine Xu Shu on the way to Yiran Palace. When I was going to pay my respects, I was knocked down by a maid, and accidentally knocked down a string of Buddhist beads in Concubine Xu's hand. Concubine Xu asked my servant to pick up the beads. The strength of two tigers is just short of three beads, Concubine Xu Shu said that these beads are enshrined and prayed in the temple, and there must be one bead, a total of one hundred and eight beads."
Helpless, Hongxiu has been searching around for more than an hour, until there are still a few, Concubine Xu Shu's face is a little ugly, and she left alone.
Only then did Hongxiu hurried to Yiran Palace, and after inquiring, she found out that Concubine Zhao had left, so she hurried after her.
Hong Xiu sticks out her tongue, "It's because the servants are ineffective and almost ruined the matter of the Crown Princess."
Miss Xiao smiled lightly when she heard the words, "Thank you for your hard work, I will change clothes later, you did a good job in this matter."
Hongxiu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Concubine Zhao kept listening to the words of the two master and servant, and frowned slightly, she couldn't understand Concubine Xiao more and more.
"Mother Concubine, I just want to test Concubine Xu Shu. It seems that Concubine Xu Shu is also aware of this matter."
One is to test Concubine Xu Shu, and the other is to let Concubine Zhao untangle her heart and get out of Yiran Palace. These days, Concubine Zhao's body has almost recuperated, but her mental illness is intractable.
As the saying goes, heart disease still needs heart medicine, and Emperor Xiyue is the medicine. Between two people, there is always one person who is the first. Xiao Concubine can see clearly that Emperor Xiyue has long been moved by Concubine Zhao's slender posture. Yes, just forbearing.
There still needs to be a push between the two.
Concubine Zhao frowned, "Concubine Xu Shu has been acting frequently recently, relying on her pregnancy, she has often tripped up other concubines in the palace."
Xiao Concubine raised her lips, "It's a little clever, it depends on where she uses it, mother and concubine don't have to worry, the most important thing right now is to take care of your body and recover as soon as possible."
Concubine Zhao nodded. The reason why the Yingchuan Houfu dared to bully Princess Chaoyi was because Concubine Zhao was not favored. Someone must be instigating behind her back.
After a while, the palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu have gone to the Yizheng Hall."
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips, the Empress Dowager Song was never idle for a moment, fearing that the Emperor Xiyue would revive Concubine Zhao, she hurriedly went to the Yizheng Hall to obstruct it.
Concubine Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Concubine's swearing appearance, she believed that Xiao Concubine would not harm Chaoyi, so she must have a reason for doing so.
The Empress Dowager Song hurriedly went to the Yizheng Hall, but she was in vain, she didn't see Concubine Zhao and Concubine Xiao, she frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yingchuan is a hero to Xiyue. You can't just because of this little family matter, let the heart of a loyal courtier be cold for many years. It is inevitable to live a life of bumps and bumps. Madam Hou was also blinded, and she committed it in a moment of confusion. Fortunately, this mistake did not lead to a big mistake, please consider it carefully and give the Houfu a chance."
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Song, it doesn't matter whether Princess Chaoyi lives or dies, she is far inferior to a capable assistant.
Princess Chaoyi bowed her head and smiled wryly at the side, and she was really guessed by Xiao Yu. Even if Emperor Xiyue got angry again, he never thought of asking the Hou Mansion to give an explanation.
With the help of the Empress Dowager Song, Mrs. Yingchuan Houye's cloudy mood suddenly became clear and her back straightened.
"Your Majesty, it was my wife's negligence that caused the princess to be wronged. My wife will definitely make up for the princess even more in the future, and please forgive me."
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou kowtowed to Emperor Xiyue, her tone was much lighter.
Emperor Xiyue frowned, and looked at Princess Chaoyi who had been silent all this time, "Chaoyi, what do you want to say, you have suffered such a great grievance, father will definitely make the decision for you."
"Chaoqi, it's normal for husband and wife to quarrel. Don't rely on your status as a princess to do whatever you want. Now the Hou Mansion has admitted its mistake. It's always time to take care of the overall situation. That aunt is indeed a bit domineering, so let's demote her to be a lowly concubine."
The Empress Dowager Song was not interested in a concubine, but first punished Aunt Qing so that Princess Chaoyi could calm down.
Mrs. Yingchuanhou choked in her throat, moved her lips, but she still didn't speak. After all, she had to explain to Princess Chaoyi. As for the matter of identity, I'll figure it out later.
"Princess, a woman should put her husband first, and a princess should also think about the young master, but don't be impulsive and delay the young master."
Concubine Xu Shu suddenly opened her mouth to persuade, she could see that Emperor Xiyue didn't want to punish Yingchuanhoufu, but just wanted a ladder to get down.
Princess Chaoji took a deep breath, and straightened her back firmly, "Father, I will obey my father. After all, Lord Hou is the minister of Xiyue's humerus. Compared with Xiyue, this little injury is not enough for Xiyue." Dao, since the son is a princess, he should share the burden and relieve the father and emperor for Xiyue."
Emperor Xiyue's complexion improved a lot when he heard the words, and he looked a lot more lovingly towards Princess Chaoyi, and at the same time, he was not a little angry towards Yingchuanhoufu.
"From now on, Prince Yingchuanhou will suspend all his duties and reflect on March. Mrs. Yingchuanhou will be given a first-class title. If he dares to commit another crime, he will be punished for several crimes!"
Madam Yingchuan Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and looked gratefully at the Empress Dowager Song and Concubine Xu Shu.
Only the sneer and sarcasm raised at the corner of Princess Chaoji's mouth, and quickly disappeared.
