Going out on the bluestone path, the topic somehow turned to the assassination of He Ming in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Although the quarrel is fierce, this matter will come to an end sooner or later," He Heng knew his difficulty and patted him on the shoulder.
"Second brother is right, even if the father is the emperor of ninety-five, he is not free to do whatever he wants." He Ming smiled, "Second brother, don't worry, idiot brother understands."
He Heng nodded, looked at the three-step carriage in front of him, and said, "Fourth brother, please."
"Please." He Heng bowed slightly, showing respect for his brother as a younger brother everywhere.
When the three of them got into the sedan chair, Qu Qing Ju looked out through the muslin of the sedan chair, and felt that the sedan chair began to sway slightly. He Ming was right, even the emperor, as the rank of Ninety-five, couldn't do whatever he wanted, let alone other things.
Suddenly, she sat up straight, the honor of ninety-five... nine... five...
Patting her cheek, Qu Qing Ju leaned back on the soft pillow lazily again. Whether or not she was overdoing it, she only asked for a scrap sign today, and nothing else.
Every step down the mountain must be steady, and the people carrying the sedan chair carefully step on each step of the stone steps. When they step on the flat ground, they can breathe a sigh of relief together. The flat road is much easier to walk than the downhill road, and it is also safe. too much.
At this moment, I saw several carriages coming from the other direction. These carriages all looked the same, and there were two guards in armor beside each carriage.
Qian Changxin squinted his eyes, and suddenly realized that he was afraid that this was sent to the capital from out of town to choose a woman.
Although the driver in front of the carriage did not know who was coming, but after seeing the three-carried sedan chair followed by many guards, he knew which dignitary was out for a wild tour, so he drove the carriage aside and waited for these people to pass by. Ride the carriage again.
The women who were sitting in the carriage looked at the sedan chair that was gradually receding, and began to chat in low voices.
"I don't know who is sitting in the sedan chair. The pomp is really big." A selected female about fifteen years old said, "It looks so majestic."
"There are so many guards to follow, it is not a pomp that ordinary people can have," a slightly fat selected girl glanced at her, "Maybe it is a prince and a prince."
"Just kidding, Wang Ye and the like are so easy to meet?" Another female candidate teased, "Maybe it's a princess or a lady."
For a time, several women who were in the same car laughed and laughed.
The guard who was driving the carriage outside the carriage listened to the movement inside the carriage, and his face became a little colder.
He remembered the news he had inquired outside before, and heard that the capital was unstable these days, and that King Cheng and King Duan both went to the suburbs of Beijing to recover from their injuries. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but change his face. Was it King Duan or King Cheng who just passed by? Otherwise, at this time, who has such a big pomp to appear in this place
After the sedan chair stopped, the curtain of the sedan chair in front of Qu Qingju was opened, she supported Muhiran's hand and got out of the sedan chair, looking at the green grass and the stream at the end of the grass, she couldn't help sighing: "It really is here. Nice view."
When she looked back, she saw that people had already started to build boilers and benches, and soon everything was ready. Qu Qingju felt that the costume dramas performed by the artists in her previous life were weak. It's the man's hands-on ability that's not enough.
He Heng walked to her side, pointed to the opposite side of the stream and said, "This stream is very wide, so it is named Qingxi River, and there is a house opposite to us, which was given to me by my father two years ago."
There are too many houses like this, and the trouble of not being able to live in them makes Qu Qingju smile: "My father has a loving heart, but it's a pity that we don't have enough time to go out on weekdays, and we can't live in the Zhuangzi rewarded by the father. Pity."
"When I have time in the future, I will accompany you to walk out more," He Heng saw her smiling happily, and the smile on his face became obvious. He pulled someone to sit down at the set table, and then said, "I asked the guards to come back with some game, and let the cooks from the house cook some wild things to try."
He Ming was basking in the warm sun, and his heart also warmed up. He pointed to the creek and said, "Sun Hai, go see if there are any fish in that creek, and if there is one, bring a fishing rod."
Sun Hai hurriedly ran to the stream to take a look, and quickly came back. He smiled and said, "My lord, I look at the fish swimming in the water, but I don't know how big it is."
"The king is going fishing," he stood up and clasped his fists at He Heng, "Second brother, brother, go fishing for a while."
He Heng nodded, "Be careful not to get your shoes wet."
He Ming smiled when he heard this, "Second brother, don't worry, younger brother knows."
Qu Qing Ju watched He Ming lift up his robe and tie it around his waist, then let the servants carry the stool and the fishing rod and bait to the stream. Many people are still arrogant children. He Ming is already so calm, and now it is rare to show the activity of two young people. I don't know if it is sincere or pretending.
She glanced at He Heng who was beside her. The people around her were only in their early twenties, and they already had such minds and skills. It could be seen that the royal family was a place to train people, and its complexity had surpassed that of the entertainment industry in previous lives. If the entertainment industry loses the fight, at most no fame and fortune, if the royal family loses the fight, it may die without a wife and children.
Thinking about it this way, He Heng, a young man in his early twenties, is not easy to be like this. She feels that a loss of motherhood has arisen in her heart.
But thinking of this person's scheming, her lost motherhood disappeared without a trace, and she used a silver pick to fork a pear into her mouth. It was smooth and watery, and it tasted good. He forked another piece and handed it to He Heng, motioning for him to taste it.
Taking a sip from Qu Qing Ju's hand, He Heng nodded and said with a smile, "It's pretty good."
Qian Changxin glanced at the fragrant pear that was placed very close to the princess. The prince didn't seem to like pears
In Princess Jin'an's mansion, He Guinian turned over the salutation letter in his hand, and said with a flat face: "I just said that this palace is a little tired these days, and I haven't seen any foreign guests." These people just wanted her to inquire about Duan Wangcheng. The king's news is nothing, and I don't think about how much her female family can know, and even if she does, she won't tell them.
Thinking of the news from the palace, she hesitated for a moment, and then summoned her trusted friend Du Ma and said, "At the last painting banquet, Ben Gong heard that the second brother and sister like to use fruit. Ben Gong has got a lot of new fruit here. Let someone send some to the second brother and sister, and also send the medicinal materials that this palace has prepared for the second brother and the fourth brother."
After hearing this, Mammy Du said, "Princess, now the face up has been in a mess because of the assassination incident, why don't you send it back in a few days?"
He Guinian said solemnly: "The guards found that the feathers of the arrows used to assassinate King Duan were ordinary, but the wood used for the handle of the arrows was a unique tree in the back mountain of a villa of King Rui. It will be handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and will be reported to the emperor sooner or later."
Madam Du's face changed slightly, and it took a long time before she spoke: "The emperor has always preferred King Rui, so..."
"Everyone in the world is watching," He Guinian rubbed a salutation post, "Even if the royal father favors King Rui, he will not be able to block the world's long speech. The brothers are gone, otherwise the throne would have been lost to him."
"Slave, I'll do it here," Du Mammy understood, and hurriedly retreated.
She opened the invitation post in her hand, and it read the Wei family of Changde's mansion. She sneered, thinking that she was going to give some face to the old lady of Changde's mansion. She also looked down on herself. She doesn't even give face to her older people, let alone an old lady of the Gongye's Mansion who is doomed.
☆、63·Kengning King
Now King Rui has become the target of public criticism. He was suspected of attacking his younger brother, and now he is suspected of assassinating his brother. Even if this kind of unfilial behavior has not yet been determined, in the eyes of everyone, King Rui has one more thing in addition to being domineering and domineering. There is no charge of filial piety.
Emperor Qingde did not think that the third son would be involved in both matters. He looked at the arrows presented by the imperial guards on the imperial case, and sighed for a while. Regardless of the facts, Yuaner was indeed not material for the emperor. .
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shugui asks to see you," the chief eunuch came in and knelt in front of him.
Emperor Qingde stood up, walked to the window and looked at the woman standing outside the courtyard. He closed his eyes and said, "Let Concubine Shu go back, and say that I am busy with government affairs and cannot see her."
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the head eunuch, and then he recovered his face and bowed back. It seemed that the emperor was disappointed with the third highness.
"Concubine, the emperor is dealing with government affairs at the moment, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you." The eunuch director walked up to Concubine Shu and said respectfully, "Please come back."
"Your Majesty doesn't want to see this palace?" Concubine Shu Gui glanced at the open door, feeling annoyed in her heart, turned around and left, obviously angry at the Emperor's behavior.
"Respectfully send Concubine Shu Gui," the eunuch head bowed down unhurriedly, watching Concubine Shu hurriedly leave his sight. Then he slowly stood up straight, with the same smile on his face as before. Concubine Shu Gui's temperament has not changed for so many years, but at this juncture, why are you still playing with this temper
Concubine Shu Gui walked out of the gate of Tianqi Palace, and after sitting down, her face sank, and even the bright sunshine did not make her face look any better.
When Concubine Jing met Concubine Shu in the imperial garden, she was holding two blooming roses in her hands. Seeing the other party's ugly face, she smiled and said, "Sister, where did you come from?"
"Sister is in good spirits," Concubine Shu Gui snorted, "It can be seen that His Royal Highness Duan Wang is not seriously injured."
"Isn't it God's blessing?" Concubine Jing handed the flower to the maid next to her, "I don't know how the person who hurt is feeling at this time."
Concubine Shu Gui sneered, she never despised Wei Wei's pretence, and she used flattering words to make His Majesty happy, and motioned for the eunuch who carried the chariot to continue walking, without any intention of going down to the ground.
Concubine Jing squinted as Concubine Shu and his party left in a hurry, and smiled lazily: "Bengong likes her temper." Otherwise, how could she have climbed to this position
Just when everyone thought that this matter was definitely related to King Rui, Master Tian, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, said something in the court. The content of this remark surprised everyone in the court.
Master Tian said that three months before Duanwang was assassinated, Dali Temple received a report from the steward of Ruiwangfu Beizhuang, saying that a lot of trees were lost in the back mountain. Although it was not a valuable thing, but in order to prevent someone from doing bad things, he went to Dali Temple and made it clear. .
"Master Tian means that because someone in the third younger brother's house reported the case, he has nothing to do with the third younger brother," He Qi asked in a funny way, "I wonder if your lord ever thought about it, the third younger brother did it on purpose?"
"What is the truth of this case, Wei Chen still doesn't know, Wei Chen just reported what he knew to the emperor," Tian Jinke didn't care about King Ning's troubles at all, but bowed to Emperor Qingde, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is still investigating. Until three months ago, the Imperial Guard encountered some wagons transporting timber in the suburbs of Beijing, and after approaching and asking, they found out that these people were servants of His Royal Highness King Ning, and some even showed His Highness King Ning's waist badge."
"It's a lie, this king just asked people to repair the villa in the suburbs of Beijing. The villa was caught on fire half a year ago. This is something that everyone in Beijing knows. What does Mr. Tian mean?" He Qi did not think of it. Tian Jinke brought the matter to himself, and suddenly said angrily, "This king sees that you have ulterior motives and deliberately framed this king in front of the father."
"Your Highness King Ning, please calm down. Wei Chen said it. Wei Chen just said some things that he found, but he didn't say that the matter is related to you," Tian Jinke bowed to him, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. "
Emperor Qingde glanced at his eldest son with narrowed eyes. He trusted Tian Jinke. After all, this was someone he met before he ascended the throne. He impatiently interrupted He Qi's unspoken words, "No need to say more. , let the people from the Ministry of Industry check how much wood you used to repair the villa." After speaking, he turned to Tian Jinke and said, "Tian Aiqing knows how much wood King Ning bought in the beginning."
"Wei Chen has already found out, please check with the emperor." Tian Jinke bowed and offered the things with both hands. Seeing that the eunuch in the palace had handed the book to the emperor, he silently retreated to the side.
"Father, you don't believe my son?!" He Qi looked at the man in the high position in disbelief, and knelt down with a thud, "My son would never do such a thing without filial piety, please ask the father to investigate. "
"Didn't I ask someone to investigate, get up," Emperor Qingde waved his hand impatiently, "Tomorrow, I will know the outcome of the matter and retreat!"
As soon as the emperor left, the ministers also left in twos and threes. He Qi looked at Tian Jinke with an ugly face, and the calm expression of the other party made his anger even more intense, "Master Tian is really a good dog, he bites half a person. Life."
Tian Jinke raised his eyelids, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning is joking. Rather than joking with Wei Chen, it's better to go back and find out what's wrong with the wood."
"What a Tian Jinke!" He Qi waved his sleeves and left with a face ashen.
Tian Jinke watched King Ning go out of the council hall angrily, straightened his clothes calmly, and continued to walk out the door of the hall unhurriedly.
In Fulang Villa, Qu Qingju sat in the tub, looked at the man who was bathing with her with one hand raised, wiped his chest with a cloth, touched the other's chest muscles, and nodded with satisfaction, "Your Highness is in good health."
"Qing Ju should know best about my body, of course," He Heng smiled and stroked the ends of Qu Qing Ju's hair, and suddenly said, "Did Qing Ju ever have anything special when he was young?" His gaze Sweeping over the jade gourd hanging on the other's chest, sweeping across her fair and attractive chest, and slowly looking away.
"What do you want in particular?" Qu Qing Ju's hands kept moving, rubbing his lower abdomen for him, and then he said with a smile, "I wanted too many things when I was young, and my thoughts were different every day. When I see other people's beautiful clothes and beautiful headwear, I feel that I want it very much, and then I want to live a peaceful and stable life when I get older, to have someone to accompany me to live a good life, to tolerate me, and to love me." Here, she laughed out loud, whether she was happy or self-deprecating.
He Heng thought that the other people she was talking about were Qu Yuesu and others, so he smiled and said, "You don't have to envy others in the future, I will give you many, many good things so that others will envy you." He reached out and touched it. The moist jade gourd, "I will accompany you and love you dearly."
Qu Qing Ju paused for a moment. She looked at He Heng with a smile, her eyes seemed to have flowed, "I believe what the lord is saying now is sincere." There are many men in the world who are sincere when they speak, but this sincerity will How long it will last, a month, a year or a lifetime, no one knows.
The slender and soft palms caressed the other's back, Qu Qing Ju laughed softly: "If the prince loves the concubine for a lifetime, the concubine will naturally never leave her."
He Heng's heart trembled, and for some reason there was a slight tingling and tingling sensation, as if there was a kind of sweetness and sour covering his heart, he Shen Sou hugged her waist, the waist in his arms was very soft, but it gave him a kind of tenacity. a feeling of. At this moment, he suddenly felt that even if a more outstanding woman appeared in front of him in the future, no one would give him the feeling of this moment.
The water vapor from the bathtub blurred the figures of the two of them, and also caused a hazy mist in their eyes. Some of them were beautiful and some unreal, but they made people feel that they should be like this.
On the second day above the court hall, all the courtiers stood in fear, listening to the people from the Ministry of Industry reporting data one by one, but focusing on the final result.
"… After an all-night investigation, Wei Chen and his subordinates found that the wood that His Royal Highness King Ning entered was partially inconsistent with the materials used."
He Qi didn't expect that the matter would involve this step, he stepped forward and said: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with the sons and ministers. The renovation of the house has damaged wood. These data may not be all true. Please ask the father to investigate."
"Since it has nothing to do with you, why are the nails of the assassin's corpse stained with impatiens and rose pollen in your Bie Zhuang?" Emperor Qingde threw a secret book in front of his eldest son, and when he saw him kneeling in disbelief, he was heartbroken. Said, "There are also shoes and clothes on these people's feet. It is the craftsmanship of your Bie Zhuang embroidery mother. Do you think that others can't find out these trivial details
"These assassins wear similar clothes to those who assassinated King Cheng before, and even the swords and arrows are made of the same craftsmanship. How do you explain all this?!" As the eldest son, to frame and kill his younger brother like this, do you still have any brothers in your heart?!"
"Royal father, this son has been wronged!" He Qi didn't understand how the assassins arranged earlier could be confused with this one, he slammed a few times and said, "Royal father, this son does not know anything about this matter, please father Emperor Mingcha!"
"I gave you the case of the assassination of the imperial envoy before. I thought I could get to the bottom of it, but who knew that the culprit behind the scenes was your unfilial son," Emperor Qingde pointed at He Qi, not wanting to listen to his explanation, "I will do it. Without you, a bastard, come here and imprison him in Haoyuelou in the suburbs of Beijing, and he will not be released in this life!"
After saying this, he shook his body and fainted against the armrest of the dragon chair.
"Father!" Seeing that Emperor Qingde had fainted, He Qi's originally bad face became even more ugly, and before he stood up, he was dragged out of the hall by the imperial guards.
He struggled to lift his head from the hands of the Janissaries, only to see a group of ministers surrounded by the royal father and left in the chaotic hall.
At this moment, he suddenly thought, if these evidences were placed on He Yuan, would the emperor still make such a decision
He twisted his body and stopped moving when he saw that he couldn't break free, and let the Guards drag him away in embarrassment. He looked up at the clear blue sky, where did he lose
Did he underestimate He Yuan, or did He Yuan act so well that he thought that the other party was really just an arrogant but mindless prince
He lowered his head, and the delicate white jade crown fell to the ground. Looking at the crown that fell on the bluestone slab, he laughed lowly.
☆、64 · Difference
"Before making a move, look at the front, back, left and right. You have to cut off other people's way out, and you have to keep the back way for yourself. The way of hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred is the most inadvisable way," He Heng played with the chess pieces in his hand, Seeing that Qu Qing Ju was still hesitating where to go, she stretched her finger to a corner, "This is where my back path is cut off, and I can eat my two sons again. If I block your back path again, you can be here. If you lose a child, you can sit back and relax."
Qu Qing Ju looked at the black and white chess pieces, but didn't see any way forward, she landed at the place where He Heng pointed, and said with a smile, "The weather is so good today, it is also a pleasure to play chess while basking in the sun. ." And the person sitting in front of her was clearly in a good mood.
"I think you're lazy," He Heng intentionally let her go, so he didn't try to plug the obvious loopholes. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw Ming He hurried in with Wang Changming in a green robe. , obviously something big has happened.
When Qu Qing Ju saw Ming He leading He Heng's guest in, she was about to get up and leave, but He Heng dropped a piece on the chessboard, meaning to let her continue.
"See Wang Ye and Princess," Wang Changming bowed his head and said after bowing to the two of them, "My lord, His Royal Highness Prince Ning was taken to Haoyuelou on the outskirts of Beijing and locked up, and the emperor was also ill."
Is King Ning playing off? Qu Qing Ju twisted the chess piece's hand for a while, her face showing two surprises, "How can the uncle be imprisoned, what did he do?"
"It has been found out by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Guard that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is related to the assassination of the imperial envoy and the assassination of the prince." Wang Changming didn't expect the princess to speak, but seeing that the prince didn't care, he said. He replied, "The palace has already issued a decree to lift the confinement of His Royal Highness Prince Rui, and I heard that Prince Rui has entered the palace to express his gratitude."
The eldest brother was locked up, and the third child, who was ill with anger, was released. The old emperor was too impatient. Isn't the head of Dali Temple her uncle? Could it have something to do with him
She tilted her head to look at He Heng with the expression "How could this happen, I don't believe it", and followed with a suspicious expression, "How could the uncle do such a thing, is there any misunderstanding?"
"Master Tian, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, has already found out, and the evidence is conclusive," Wang Chang said. , the three adults in charge of this case all think it is more obvious."
Don't you suspect that this is the bitter trick of the second child of the He family? When Qu Qing Ju saw that He Heng had placed a piece, and then randomly placed a chess piece, she sighed with emotion, "They are all my own brothers, why is there such a fuss."
He Heng pushed the chess piece in front of him, looking annoyed: "How can this happen, the eldest brother is kind, why do you want to harm me and the fourth brother?"
Qu Qing Ju glanced at the servants who were waiting around her, and held his hand worriedly: "Your Highness, your injury is not healed, so don't be angry. The emperor is ill, and I'm still waiting for you to visit."
He Heng turned his head and looked at Qu Qing Ju for a moment, then got up and said, "What the princess said is very true, you and I will go back to the city and enter the palace at this moment." After speaking, she turned to Ming He and said, "Ming He, go. King Cheng, please enter the palace with me."
"Yes," Ming He hurriedly stepped back.
Looking at this scene, Wang Changming said, "My lord, please take care of your health, and the little one will retire." After speaking, he bowed and stepped back without giving Qu Qingju a second look.
Qu Qing Ju looked at this Wang Changming, this person was very self-control, and he was very methodical in his speech and manners. Even if he answered her questions, he always maintained respect for He Heng, but even so, this person did not give any respect to He Heng. Put yourself in a humble position. She tilted her head to look at He Heng, and it seemed that the disciples he raised were just like him. There was nothing wrong with it on the bright side, but in reality, only she knew what it looked like.
"What, the eldest brother is imprisoned?" He Ming asked in surprise when he heard the words of the eunuch sent by the second brother, "The father is still fainted, what is going on?" There were some doubts, but he led the servants out, showing complete trust in He Heng.
Ming He bowed slightly and whispered behind him to explain what happened. The group had already walked to the gate, and saw that the carriage was ready, and He Heng and Qu Qing Ju were standing beside the carriage waiting for them.
"Let the second brother and the second sister-in-law wait for a long time, it's the younger brother, isn't it?" He Ming took a few steps and bowed to the husband and wife, "Please."
"We just came out," He Heng said with a solemn expression, "You must know the whole story. We will get in the car and enter the palace to meet the emperor. We will talk about other things later."
The group quickly got into the carriage. At this moment, they didn't care that they were still recovering from their injuries. He Heng sat upright in the carriage, his face became whiter and paler, and he didn't even notice his waist was bent.
Seeing that his face was getting worse and worse, Qu Qing Ju guessed that this was what he wanted Emperor Qing De to see, but she still said, "My lord, since the father has woken up, there must be no serious problem, you have to pay attention to yourself. body of."
"I know, just thinking that the royal father is still seriously ill makes me restless," He Heng patted her hand and sighed.
The husband and wife looked at each other, and both showed "I'm worried, I'm sad" at the same time.
Probably this is the so-called heart-to-heart...
After the carriage entered the gate of the palace, they could no longer go in. After the three got off the carriage, they walked to Tianqi Palace, and saw a woman kneeling at the entrance of the main hall. Qu Qing Ju recognized that this woman was King Ning's biological mother, Wen Guiconcubine.
When passing by Wen Guibi, she couldn't help but glance down at the woman, only to see that she only had a bun with a jasper hairpin slanted, and her neck bent.
After waiting at the door for a while, the eunuch invited them in. Qu Qing Ju stretched out her hand to support He Heng's hand slightly, and walked behind He Heng's right by a small half-step.
Emperor Qingde was leaning on the dragon bed, and when he saw He Heng and his wife and He Ming come in, there was a trace of distress and guilt on their faces.
"Just now I heard that the father had fainted, and the two of us hurried into the palace. When we arrived at the palace gate, we remembered that our hands were empty, and I asked the father to forgive us for being reckless." He Heng got up and said a little embarrassedly, "I was going to give Father's game also forgot to bring in."
"You are a child of filial piety, so how could I blame you for that?" Seeing that his son was worried that he had forgotten his decency, Emperor Qingde looked at his second son up and down in a good mood, and frowned when he saw that he was pale, "Hurry up. Sit down, your body is still not healed, and you rushed to the palace in a hurry, can you bear the wound?"
"It's just a small wound, which worries the royal father," He Heng smiled indifferently, "but the fourth brother is much more injured than Erchen."
Emperor Qingde glanced at He Ming, who was sitting next to him: "Boss, that beast, I didn't expect him to do such a beast. I made you feel wronged." He sighed, feeling a little depressed, "It's me This royal father is not good enough to let him do such a thing?"
"This matter has nothing to do with the emperor," He Heng abruptly stood up, staggered under his feet, and was supported by Qu Qingju's quick eyes and hands, he hurriedly said, "The emperor is a benevolent ruler of the world, and the eldest brother is always kind, there must be something strange about this matter. ."
"I know that you have always loved your brothers, but the matter has been found out, and I don't want to believe that he sent someone to assassinate the two of you and deliberately planted the blame on the third. Such a vicious son is really unbearable to be my son. "Emperor Qingde was so angry that he patted the bed a few times, and then coughed again.
The maid who was waiting hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his back for him. Emperor Qingde asked her to step back impatiently. He forced a sip of water to suppress the itch on his throat, "You don't need to beg for him any more, I have already made up my mind. decision."
Qu Qing Ju watched this scene of a father being kind and filial to his son, and said silently in his heart, don't worry, Emperor, your son is not here to plead for mercy, and he will not have any opinion on how you deal with the boss.
Emperor Qingde looked at the second daughter-in-law who did not speak from the beginning to the end, but was always protecting his second son, and beckoned him to walk in front of him: "The princess I chose for you is very good, treat her well." You can remember to protect your husband anytime and anywhere, such a woman must be good.
"Father, my son understands," He Heng showed a smile on his face. He reached out to hold Emperor Qingde's wrinkled hand, his eyes were red, "You have lost weight recently."
"You child," Emperor Qingde saw his son's red eyes, and the heart that had been splattered by the boss warmed up again, he reached out and patted his shoulder, "You are injured, go back to rest early, These days, I will take good care of you in the palace, and after a while, I will continue to do things for me."
"My son will get better soon," He Heng said, "Please don't worry about your royal father."
When Qu Qing Ju listened to this conversation, she somehow thought of Concubine Shu Gui, isn't Emperor Qing De a good woman, isn't his daughter-in-law also rated according to this standard? Thinking about it like this, there is no sense of joy after being praised.
Is this double standard really okay
Seeing that the father and son had talked a lot more earnestly, they parted reluctantly. Qu Qingju thought to himself, the father and son must be very satisfied in this warm drama, otherwise why would they be so devoted
He Ming still played a transparent role until the three of them retired. He Ming only said a few words when he was leaving. Seeing his calm appearance, Qu Qing Ju knew that he seemed to be quite used to this state.
After going out the door, Qu Qing Ju saw Wen Guiconcubine still kneeling outside the door, she couldn't bear to look away, there are few mothers in the world who can watch their children suffer. Even someone like Wen Guiconi who is always careful and always attentive will summon the courage to go to the Tianqi Palace to beg. Isn't it all for the sake of children
"His Royal Highness Duan!" Wen Guiconcubine didn't know if there was really nothing to do, or if she was a little out of her mind after kneeling for a long time, she grabbed He Heng's robe and implored: "His Royal Highness Duan, please speak for King Ning. Come on, Qi'er won't assassinate you, you can help him."
He Heng took a step back. Seeing that Concubine Wen was pulling very tightly, he cupped his hands and said, "Miss Wen Guiconcubine, I have already interceded for eldest brother. The father and the emperor will make his own decision on this matter."
"Please beg again, please beg for King Ning again," Wen Guiconi said with tears in her eyes, "I beg you, and say good things for King Ning again." Seeing that He Heng was silent, she turned to Qu Qing. Ju said, "I beg you."
Qu Qing Ju looked away, not wanting to meet Wen Guibi's tearful eyes. Although she was not a softhearted person, she couldn't see such a scene.
"What are you doing, making a fuss at the entrance of the father's palace?"
Qu Qing Ju frowned, He Yuan came to die as soon as he was released
☆, 65. Decision
He Yuan walked to the begging Wen Guiconcubine with square steps, and looked down at her with a smile: "Wen Guiconcubine what are you doing? It's a big sin to make noise in Tianqi Palace."
Wen Guibi wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves. She stood up with a sneer, raised her chin and looked at the arrogant prince in front of her: "If this is the case, I don't know how many times Prince Rui has been punished. Punishment, the emperor has the final say, and you can't let the prince make the decision. The prince has been in elementary school etiquette, hasn't anyone taught you what to do when facing your concubine?"
He Yuan was pushed back by a concubine who was not favored, and his face suddenly sank, he said solemnly: "I don't need you to teach me the etiquette of this king. Release eldest brother." After speaking, he turned to He Heng. "Hello, second brother and second sister-in-law."
"Hello, third brother," He Heng glanced at the guards standing around, with a polite smile on his face, "If the third brother comes to ask to see the royal father, let someone inform him earlier that the royal father has taken medicine at the moment. , I'm afraid I'll have to rest in a while."
"I didn't expect the second brother and the fourth brother to come faster than me," He Yuan's words implied that He Heng intended to inquire about the news, so he came earlier than himself.
"As soon as we heard that our father was ill, we rushed back with a whip." He Heng seemed to have not heard it, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Fortunately, my father, Hongfu Qitian, is fine, but I made a joke."
