Chunjia listened expressionlessly and didn't scold him, just looked down.
Then an inconspicuous little chamberlain came up to report: "There is indeed a volume of excerpts of folk remedies in the residence of His Highness the Third Prince. However, it was not that His Highness randomly inquired about it outside the palace, but the Third Prince's subordinates accidentally bought a fragment of a medical book and compiled it. After the imperial concubine fell into coma, His Royal Highness the Third Prince received the news, and immediately restrained those around him from making any noise, and then forwarded the news to His Highness the Tenth Prince... "
"After hearing the news, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince expressed many resentments and curses towards the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir."
"Even mentioning the Queen Empress does not show much respect."
The young chamberlain spoke very clearly and quickly described the private conversations and behavior of the third prince and the tenth prince. Finally, he said, "I have just confessed that the third prince brought drugs into the palace and handed them over to Xuanqing Palace." The palace servant is His Highness's personal chamberlain. This chamberlain has been serving His Highness since he was a baby, and has always been trusted by His Highness. The Tenth Prince's side is more hidden, but he is a rough messenger in His Highness's courtyard. . On the surface, this rough messenger seems to have nothing to do with the Tenth Prince, but in fact, his family has received a lot of rewards over the years, and he has been working for the Tenth Prince in private."
He even explained the ins and outs of the medicines used by the two princes in detail, speaking concisely and concisely, as if he had seen it in person.
Gu Zhen's heart was broken and he hissed: "Your Majesty, this is impossible! This... this must be someone's deliberate attempt to murder! Do you still remember what happened when Xin became a princess? At that time, I felt something was wrong and suspected that something was wrong. Who in the palace did it, deliberately instigating the relationship between the concubine and the noble concubine! What happened now may not be because the person who calculated Xincheng before took action again! However, it was Xincheng at the beginning, and now it is Xiaosan and Xiaoshi !”
"The Queen is tired." Chunjia said a little tiredly and indifferently, "Let's wait for the Queen and take a rest."
"Your Majesty!" Gu Zhen didn't want to leave, she shouted fiercely and desperately, "Of course the imperial concubine is the one you love, and the child in her belly is also your biological flesh and blood. Isn't Xiaosan and Xiaoshi your child?! Xiao Shi is still your legitimate son!!!"
The emperor ignored her.
The imperial attendant also pretended not to hear and dragged her away forcefully.
Gu Zhen struggled hard and left the palace, shouting endlessly, but a palace servant came next to him and persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, please calm down. If your Majesty really doesn't cherish the three princes and the tenth prince, over the years, How can the two Highnesses survive today? Even the Imperial City Secretary has conclusive evidence, but they still want to be called to the front for personal questioning. Isn't this because you are afraid of unjustly accusing the two Highnesses? You are making such noise without any basis. In addition to upsetting His Majesty What's the use of chaos? Furthermore, your two highnesses actually have something to say. You are making them feel uneasy by making trouble here. What if they miss something important because of this?"
Such nice talk made Gu Zhen stop talking, but the third prince and the tenth prince in the palace did not care about the mother at all, and their faces turned pale.
The third prince simply fell silent, his eyes looking particularly sad.
The tenth prince, on the other hand, was still arguing: "As I'm getting older, I have indeed recruited some people to do things, but the rough envoy doesn't have much contact with me, so I don't know if he has been seduced by others in private. Framing the son? What reason does the son have to murder the unborn brother or sister in the mother-in-law's womb? The father and the emperor have many children, and the son-in-law has never been in the minority. Even if the mother-in-law is favored, the father is not unsympathetic. Your Majesty. Why would you risk the disapproval of the world and do such an unethical act?!"
"To put it bluntly, even if the noble mother and concubine gives birth to a prince again, the sons and ministers will be just multiple brothers."
"Isn't King Jin the younger brother of your minister?"
"When have you ever attacked King Jin in recent years?"
"Besides, who in the Three Palaces and Sixth Academy doesn't know the tricks of the noble mother and concubine? How can I, at such a young age, have the ability and courage to do tricks under the noble mother and concubine? Let alone the children named the noble mother and concubine. Not good?"
He also opened up old accounts, "This is not the first time that I have talked about the Concubine. In the past, when the Concubine was at odds with Emperor Yuan's grandmother, she seemed to have narrowly escaped death. If it happens this time, the Concubine will also If you are close to death, your concubine will be so blessed that you will be so envious of her!"
Seeing that Chunjia was just looking at him with a heavy look, the tenth prince gritted his teeth, kowtowed hard, and begged, "Father, the sons and ministers have always been resentful towards the noble mother and concubine. After all, the noble mother and concubine has repeatedly targeted her. Mother, even if the son is not the queen's biological child, how can one not feel aggrieved for the mother and son? But when it comes to murdering the queen, the son has never done this, and has no reason to do so! Please understand clearly, Give me your innocence! I beg your father to thoroughly investigate the details of that rough envoy, so that I can teach you who is plotting against me behind your back!"
... When the Tian family father and son were confronting each other, Qing Ren came out of the inner hall tiredly and smelling of medicine. Chen Jing immediately greeted him: "How is your Majesty?"
"Imperial Physician Wei has good medical skills. I see my breathing is much smoother." Qingren said in a hoarse voice, "It's just the emperor's heir... I can only have God's blessing. Imperial Physician Wei said that he is really not sure."
After a pause, he said in a complicated tone, "Even if I can save it, I'm afraid that the emperor's body will be broken..."
Chen Jing looked a little sad, and immediately comforted him: "What does the royal family want? I will make up for it slowly in the future, and it will be fine."
In fact, for servants like them, as long as the imperial concubine is alive, there is still a chance.
As for the emperor's heir...
how to say
If she is really born, she should be treated with special care.
If I can't keep it, it's not too sad.
After all, there is a King Jin who is the foundation.
"What's going on up front?" Qingren looked around and asked in a low voice.
Chen Jing's expression was a little complicated: "The Imperial City Division has found out the culprit, who is the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince. The result is that His Majesty may be a little unbelievable, and is now interrogating him personally."
From the queen's point of view, she doesn't believe that the third and tenth princes plotted to murder the imperial concubine. No matter how much evidence there is, it can only be a frame-up, deliberately targeting the middle palace.
Chunjia would actually believe such a so-called truth. She was simply focused on Yun Fenghuang and ignored the family relationship between father and son!
But from the perspective of Xuanqing Palace, especially in the eyes of many waiters who had no idea what was going on, they were not without resentment towards Chunjia.
After all, the Imperial City Secretary is not really a jobber!
They had already found the whole story and evidence. If the emperor was so angry that he summoned the two highnesses, why should he be punished first
The results of it
It's been a while, and he's still talking there!
Even if the queen is driven out, what is it compared to the injustice and loss suffered by their master
The emperor is no more than this to their noble concubines!
"Just ask." Qingren was still worried. Although she had deceived Chunjia a few years ago, she still felt heart palpitations at this moment.
It was also natural that she, as a close attendant of the imperial concubine, was worried about the imperial concubine at this moment, and that the heaviness and worry in her expression was also natural, so she did not reveal her trap.
Right now, I don't have the energy to give more instructions.
The imperial concubine simply told her before she fell into coma that at this time, she was not in a hurry to seek revenge, and would only focus on taking care of her master.
So the people of the Qing Dynasty whispered to Chen Jing, "Your Majesty will eventually give an explanation to the empress. Furthermore, the matter is serious. If the two princes are to be imprisoned based on the evidence from the Imperial City Division... I am afraid that the previous court will also have to do so." Let's make a fuss. Our purpose is to seek justice for the empress, not against the two highnesses."
After saying this, she went to rest in the house because she was tired.
The conversation between the two was quickly transmitted to the imperial court. Chunjia listened and considered it carefully, but found nothing inappropriate.
In fact, although the queen and the tenth prince both mentioned the murders and dangers that Xuanqing Palace encountered in the past, in Chunjia's eyes, things this time were completely different from before.
If it was said that Yun Fenghuang's near-death experience was a bitter trick, the emperor might have thought about it.
But this time, he didn't believe anyone.
Because the concubine's child is really in bad condition, the best outcome is that it can be saved and given birth, but it will definitely not have a healthy and strong body and bones.
A loving mother like Yun Fenghuang dares to risk herself, dare to risk her own life, dare to be cruel to herself... but how can she be willing to treat her child like this
Still the royal heir who can make up for her years of regret!
Therefore, despite this investigation, countless evidence pointed to the middle palace, Chunjia did not pay attention to the accusation that the queen, mother and son suspected that the imperial concubine was a thief and shouted to catch the thief.
In his opinion, what happened this time was indeed done by someone from the Queen's side.
Or, it was someone else who framed the Queen's group.
This is not surprising. The Queen's temperament can be said to be honest at best, but stupid at worst.
She has a high status and is increasingly incompatible with the imperial concubine.
He is simply the most suitable scapegoat.
He summoned the third and tenth princes to inquire in person, mainly to eliminate the possibility that the culprit pushed these two sons to top the cylinder.
But the third prince gave up, but the tenth prince continued to doubt the imperial concubine.
Chunjia endured it for a moment, then decided she couldn't bear it anymore. She walked down and gave her son a kick, knocking him to the ground!
"You bastard! You keep saying that your imperial concubine is so scheming that she has a broken hand. It would be nice if she didn't trick you. How could you trick her and her children?!" The emperor was not fair to his own flesh and blood.
Honestly, with the number of kids he has, there's no way he's fair.
But precisely because we don’t care much about most children, there is no punishment.
Especially since the Tenth Prince was one of the legitimate princes, the King of Chu above him was a foolish master, and his status had always been somewhat aloof.
The emperor always paid a lot of attention to him. His daily favor was not as good as that of King Qin Zhaoqing, but his political status was actually higher than that of King Qin.
In the past, the tenth prince also did many wrong things, and the emperor only scolded them.
This is my first time doing it myself.
Not to mention that the tenth prince was stunned, even the third prince next to him was a little stunned.
Chunjia ignored the astonishment of the waiters around him, pointed at the tenth prince, and shouted solemnly, "The wind is like rain! I'm here to tell you, what kind of life has your noble concubine lived in the palace these years! She was injured at the age of twelve My concubine was involved. She was no more than your age at that time, so she was forced to leave the Northland and come all the way to the Imperial Capital to live under someone else's roof! During the three years in the Imperial Capital, I was cautious about my words and actions, walking on thin ice. Even so, it could not stop someone from scheming. I want to borrow her life to fulfill my own interests! Just any of the newcomers in the palace in the past two years will have a better life than your noble mother and concubine at that time!"
"If you don't believe me, ask the queen!"
"The situation when you, the noble concubine, first entered the palace was already very bad. You managed to earn a small chance of survival. However, due to your low background and shallow qualifications, within a few months, you still got hurt by a secret hand, so that you were once dismissed. The imperial doctor thinks you can’t have children!”
"In those years, I know how many times your noble mother and concubine cried and were sad!"
"If that's not the case, Xiao Shi can just pay it back. Xiao San, do you still remember that when I had so many things to do, I still took the time to enlighten you brothers and sisters?!"
The third prince kowtowed quickly: "I will remember what I said to my father. I will keep it in my heart and never forget it!"
"Never dare to forget?" Chunjia sneered, making no secret of his injustice to the children, and said coldly, "At that time, I actually planned to enlighten King Qin and Zhaoqing. After all, this is my eldest son and daughter. They should be more dignified than you younger brothers and sisters! What’s more, except for them who were willing to get close to me at that time, none of you saw me like a mouse meeting a cat, saying "Father" as loud as a gnat. , that way of restraining one’s hands and feet, I can’t see anything right about it!”
"It's your noble mother and concubine who persuaded me over and over again to make sure I take you with me."
"I even used Qin Wang and Zhao Qing as a raft, saying that I was worried that when you grow up, there will be bad feelings between brothers and sisters... I can say that based on this alone, except for your noble mother and concubine, these three palaces and six courtyards will never There is no second person who dares to be so generous!"
He looked at the tenth prince coldly, "If I want to teach you alone, whether you or the queen, are you willing to let other royal heirs join in?!"
The tenth prince was speechless.
That is of course impossible.
Chunjia narrowed her eyes and continued in a deep voice, "Your noble concubine may not be perfect, after all, no one is perfect, but she treats you, the emperor's heirs, and I can say that no one in the three palaces and six courtyards is as good as her." More kind and kind!!”
"And Xiao Shi, when you were left on Penglai Island during the palace change, who took care of you?!"
"If the imperial concubine wanted to harm you, and the war was chaotic that day, and both of you, the imperial grandmother and Twelve, fell into the water, would she still be able to find a chance to take action?"
"She sent you back calmly, but you had better turn around and give her a knife!"
"And later, when the empress was exhausted and everyone in Yanfu Palace was in panic, you and the mistress came to ask for help. There was no time when the imperial concubine did not treat her with tenderness!"
"The imperial concubine has a hot-tempered temperament, and she has a lot of grudges with your mother, but please tell me with your conscience, when has she ever done anything that could not be tolerated by you?"
"This is the concubine Min who you say is ruthless and has no tricks left to her own devices!"
"The hardships she has suffered in this palace are far beyond your imagination!"
"In comparison, you guys just grew up in a honeypot. How can you pretend to be miserable after hearing a few sarcastic words from me?!"
"I have been walking on thin ice under the Ji family for nearly ten years. Did I tell you that it was not easy for me! Huh?!"
"Two vicious things!"
"Because the imperial concubine once had no hope of having biological children, she was kind to all the children. Even after giving birth to Prince Jin, she still acted like a loving mother. Who in front of the imperial concubine, King Zhaoqing, Xiaoqi, Xiaojiu, could not be better than Prince Jin? She prefers caring?!”
"I used to think that King Zhaoqing of Qin was more willful and not sensible and considerate enough."
"Looking at it now, after all, it is the child I watched grow up. Even if he is not so careful because he is so loved, he still knows filial piety in his heart!"
"There is nothing better than you all enjoying the concubine's favors and then turning around to avenge the favor!"
Looking at the two children in front of him who have childish faces but already have upright figures, the emperor, who is still in his prime, can't hide his disappointment in his eyes, "How could I... raise you two bastards who are not worthy of being sons of men!"
