"Your Majesty, do I have nothing to say?" The empress dowager, the loving mother, was particularly angry. After all, she had raised Chunjia's people.
No matter how many barriers there are between mother and son, is there ever a sincere affection
Moreover, on New Year's Eve, the emperor learned that she was poisoned, and as time was running out, he threw a banquet in the East Palace and braved the wind and snow to go to the palace in person to fulfill his filial piety, which also eliminated a lot of the resentment towards her son in the heart of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager.
Where can I see the palace concubine betraying the emperor at this moment
Dangdong turned his head, looked at Yun Fenghuang closely, and shouted, "The Yi family remembers that she was born in a humble family. According to the rules of the palace, she should not be granted the title of concubine easily! Otherwise, I will ensure that she jumps through the ranks and is promoted to the throne. Lie Zhaorong! It turns out that she was at the Ai family’s birthday banquet and did such shameless things! I... I... "
The loving mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager, seemed extremely angry. She couldn't help but press her heart and scolded her heartbrokenly, "Did I intentionally want to piss off the Ai family to death!!!"
"Queen mother, calm down!" Seeing this, the empress stepped forward to support her loving mother, the empress dowager, and comforted her in a low voice, "Queen mother, all of this is not the fault of the imperial concubine, the fault of Yi family, and it is not the fault of Du Langu, but What does it have to do with my mother? I very much ask my mother not to harm herself because of other people’s crimes!"
After some consolation, he also looked at Yun Fenghuang and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Min, am I not cruel to your Majesty. But Yi Shi, whom I supported with my legs, did such a crazy and shameless act. I asked myself, but I feel that I cannot afford to make mistakes to Bidong, I cannot afford to make mistakes to Sixth Palace, I cannot afford to make mistakes..."
Yun Fenghuang's face was livid, and he suddenly interrupted her: "Two ladies, what the guards just said can be proved that they happened to meet Yi Shi and the man named Du together in the woods. But whether there is an affair between them has not yet been found out, so why rush to cuckold Bi Dong? Is it possible that the two ladies really hope that Bi Dong will be betrayed? "
"As things have come to light, I really want to quibble, okay?" The Queen sneered, "How about I tell you, as a palace official, it is not etiquette to be alone with a mature foreign minister in a secluded and uninhabited grove. Can’t do it?!”
Yun Fenghuang glanced at Du Langu coldly. Du Langu looked at her without fear, and even looked suspicious in his eyes, but the imperial concubine quickly turned away to look at Yi Xing'en, with a warning look in her eyes. He said in a loud voice: "Of course that is not etiquette, but from the beginning to the end, the two empresses never asked what Yi Shi did to show up there? To put it bluntly, what reason did Yi Shi have to betray Bidong?"
"In terms of the status of the people she serves, who is that person named Du? Is he worthy of being compared with Bidong?"
"In terms of appearance and talent, the guy surnamed Du is also not worthy of carrying Bidong's shoes!"
"In terms of age, is Bidong similar to the one surnamed Du? Is it worth Yi's temptation to mistake her surname Du? Although Yi's background is humble, judging from the fact that she took refuge in the concubine when she first entered the palace, she has good eyesight!"
"As for Yi's status in the palace, the two empresses just said that based on her background, it is not an unexpected blessing to be granted the title of concubine, let alone the fact that Ruming is ranked Zhaorong and has the concubine taking care of her. , there are two biological princesses in the knee! Although Zhaoqing is raised in front of me, it is not convenient to meet her, but the seventh princess is raised by Yi Shi herself! "
"Let's talk about the emperor's favor. In the past two years, because of the newcomers entering the palace, the Yi clan's emperor's favor was not as good as before. But for the sake of the seventh princess, how could Bidong forget her? I always go there several times a month. of."
"If Yishi is like that and wants Hongxing to come out, then Ping Xianyi, the biological mother of the tenth prince, isn't she going to beg even the eunuch to be spared?!"
Gu Zhen laughed angrily: "I was planning to ask Yi Shi carefully, why did you retaliate with such kindness even though your Majesty had wronged her so much? In the eyes of the noble concubine, this is not evidence of Yi Shi's purity?!"
"Yi Shi, let me tell you, why did I appear in that forest?" The imperial concubine ignored the queen's words, looked at Yi Xing'en, and said slowly, "Let me tell the truth, where I am, I will naturally make the decision for me. . I remember that I have always been a calm person, and I am not the kind of person who walks around with nothing to do. Especially the seventh princess is very small and very clingy. It is even more impossible for me to throw her to the palace people and go to the grove alone! Is there someone or something that would prevent me from going to the port? So that I met that person surnamed Du that I didn't expect at all? Huh?"
"My concubine, I don't want to mess around here!!!" Yun Fenghuang's words almost clearly led Yi Xing'en to retract her confession. Naturally, the queen could not tolerate it and said with a stern face, "No matter what Yi Xing'en said, The reason has passed, she begged Qinghong, why didn't she leave immediately after seeing Du Langu?! And when the guards saw it, could Yishi hold Du Langu and not allow him to leave!"
Yun Fenghuang had a cold face and said in a cold voice: "If the Yi family is a delicate girl, if someone named Du is bribed and deliberately framed, there is no way to arrest her! The Queen is the master of the Sixth Palace, and the Yi family As Zhaorong, I am not your subordinate. When something like that happened, you did not help Yishi, but instead suspected Yishi everywhere. Doesn't that make sense?"
After that, he continued to ask Yi Xingen, "Let me tell you, I went to the grove and met the man named Du. What happened after that? Did he threaten me? If so, I can tell him, is it possible? , do I feel that I am unable to protect me here?"
Obviously worried that the concubine did not dare to speak out due to some concerns, the concubine's tone became a little more gloomy, "I don't think about other people, I don't think about myself, I also think about my two biological flesh and blood! Zhao Qing recorded in It’s enough to give me the name Dong. Where is the Seventh Princess? If I can be soft-hearted for a moment, I can call me the Seventh Princess... "
"Your Majesty, I've had enough!" The empress dowager, a loving mother, watched with cold eyes, feeling that the queen was really helpless. After taking advantage of such a situation, she was so stubborn that she entangled Concubine Baoyin until now.
Of course, the Queen Mother herself did not regret it.
She really didn't know what was going on, so she thought that no matter whether she was a queen or a concubine, it was nothing good.
Although the queen looked at the situation at the time and saw that the queen had caught the imperial concubine, she still had to prevent the two from joining forces to trick her, so she agreed to the imperial concubine's request and let her come together.
If she had known that, she would have rejected the imperial concubine.
Without Yun Fenghuang present, it was an understatement to conclude that Yi Shi had cheated on him based on the confessions of the guards.
It turned out that a moment of suspicion actually gave Yun Fenghuang the opportunity to fight to the death!
The mother-in-law Empress Dowager had a cold face and said slowly: "In any case, it is true that Yi Shi is alone with her husband and a widow. Based on that, I, the person who supported Yi Shi by one leg, should avoid suspicion!"
Yun Fenghuang looked angry and wanted to say something, but Empress Dowager Yuan immediately pressed her chest again and panted slightly: "The Ai family is old. After all the troubles in the past, Ru Ming is becoming more and more useless. If not, I feel sorry for him. I don’t have the right to say that about me, and the Aijia don’t want to say anything more.”
"..." The imperial concubine's eyes flashed. She was worried that she would be found guilty of despising the Queen Mother, but she didn't dare to contradict her. She just endured her anger and said, "Have you taught me a lesson? Otherwise, I am being reckless."
After a pause, he was unwilling to give up, and then said, "As for the Queen Mother, you know that Yi has been in the palace for many years and has always been cautious about her words and deeds. How could she do such a treasonous thing? There can't be any deceit in it!" Now, I have a heart-breaking remark: Of the many women who were selected to enter the palace, only Yi Shi got the favor from me and Bidong, and was able to be granted the title of concubine in an exceptional way. It can be seen that he has a beautiful heart! Such a person, Even if you really have an affair with your foreigner, how can you be caught so easily? It’s 80% likely that someone deliberately framed her!"
As he spoke, he gouged out Du Langu's eyes again.
Obviously, he suspected that the foreign minister was bribed by someone to deceive his close general.
The loving empress dowager ignored her complaints and looked at the group of kneeling people in Didong. She said slowly: "Okay, the testimony of the guards just now has been heard clearly by those in the Ai family. As a group of concubines, If you have doubts, let’s do that. Yi Shi and Du Langu will tell each other what’s going on?”
"..." Yi Xingen was on the verge of tears. She glanced at Du Langu consciously, but when she saw the other person's cold expression, she immediately shrank, turned her head, and whispered, "I..."
After saying two words, he turned to look at Yun Fenghuang.
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's eyes like knives, she shrank even more. After hesitating for a moment, the Queen Mother became impatient. However, she gritted her teeth, raised her heart, and said in a deep voice, "I just had a few too many glasses of wine, and I'm a little nervous." I was bored. So I went for a walk in the woods."
The queen hummed: "Then what happened when you bumped into Du Lan Gufou? One of us is a concubine of the Tian family, and the other is a foreign minister. Didn't we know how to avoid suspicion after we met?!"
"Because I drank too much at the time, I mistakenly mistook Lord Du for..." Yi Xing'en clenched her fists and whispered, "Mistakenly mistook Lord Du for... Lord Du! So I pulled the corner of Lord Du's clothes, I said some... some things that I shouldn't have said!"
When she said that, she didn't dare to raise her head. You Qi avoided Yun Fenghuang's sight and said quickly, "All of this is due to me being greedy! If Mr. Du wanted to leave immediately at that time, he would have been caught by me." It’s stuck in the corner of my clothes and I can’t get away.”
The loving mother Queen Mother sneered and turned to Du Langu: "Is this really true?"
Du Langu remained silent for a moment without shutting up, as if he had acquiesced.
The Queen Mother then looked at the Queen and said calmly: "Then listen, it doesn't seem to make sense..."
Then I remembered, "Where's Tong Shi? Check it out, how many months has it been since the emperor went to Yishi's place?"
Emperor Qiufu had indeed neglected Yi Shi for some time, and it was understandable that Yi Xing'en was so rude; but Emperor Qiufu had only been there recently, so it was obvious that he was talking nonsense.
And to be honest, Yi Xingen just saw how Du Langu was so talkative and ignored the imperial concubine's hints that he would take all the blame. Even a blind man wouldn't believe it when he said that she and Du Langu were in love!
Therefore, the loving mother Queen Mother is not in a hurry.
She believed that there was a connection between the two, and it was just that no one knew about it before. Now that Ru Ming has exposed the secret, he can definitely find out the clues with his convincing words!
After a while, the harem people brought Tong Shi and saw that Chunjia had only visited the Seventh Princess five months ago and stayed at Yi Xingen's place.
At that time, the Queen Mother and the Empress came to Donglai with a relieved look on their faces, but another palace official came in a hurry and reported to the Empress in public: "Returning to the Empress, I have just gone to the banquet to ask about the people in front of Empress Zhaorong. Two months ago, I entrusted the money to the palace servants who were serving at the Baiguan Banquet in front of me, and asked them to inform the female family members when they saw Mr. Du getting up and leaving the banquet!"
"And Empress Zhaorong did leave the banquet just now with the excuse of being too drunk, but the ladies around her could see clearly that Empress Zhaorong only drank two glasses of fruit wine from the beginning to the end. And at the previous banquet, Empress Zhaorong was How can I drink more than a dozen similar drinks calmly and never get drunk again?"
"When Empress Zhaorong left, she took the Seventh Princess with her."
"According to the confession of the maid who took care of the seventh emperor, she carried the seventh emperor and walked back with Empress Zhaorong. When she was halfway there, she was ordered by empress Zhaorong to put the seventh emperor away and stay where she was. After that, empress Zhaorong herself He hugged the Seventh Princess and left. After a while, he wiped away his tears and sent the Seventh Princess back, asking her to take the Seventh Princess back to her residence first... "
The Queen Mother and Queen became angrier as they listened, and asked Yun Fenghuang again: "What more can I say?!"
