As soon as Chunjia said this, everyone else just paid it back. The face of Concubine De, who had just asked the emperor's male and female, froze, and she was secretly annoyed that she had made a mistake: Even the emperor was the first to ask about the concubine, and he, the concubine's good sister, was the first to care. The gender of the royal heir
If the imperial concubine knew about this, how could Yun Fenghuang not bear a grudge because of his unyielding nature
She quickly made up for it: "Your Majesty, counting the time it took for the imperial concubine sister to enter, and listening to the emperor's crying voice, she must be fine! After all, my sister has great blessings, and your majesty is personally in charge, and the true emperor is protecting her. , where else could anything go wrong?”
However, Chunjia ignored her at all and stared at the door of the delivery room, waiting for the reply from the person inside.
Concubine De felt bored and lowered her head to straighten her sleeves in embarrassment.
After a while, the door of the delivery room opened slightly, and Qing Ren came out holding the packed swaddling clothes. The newborn baby inside was red and wrinkled, but the fetal hair on the top of his head was very thick. He handed it to Chunjia and said with a forced smile; "Congratulations." Your Majesty, I have given birth to a little prince!"
Chunjia casually took the child. Since he now had many heirs, he was quite skillful in holding the child. At this moment, his mind was not at all on the prince who had just landed. He only glanced at it casually and continued to ask Yun Fenghuang how he was doing.
Seeing Qing Ren open his mouth as if he didn't know how to answer, his face darkened: "What happened? Hasn't the emperor already landed?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty just struggled to give birth to the little prince, and now she fainted." Qingren quickly knelt down and said, "The imperial doctor is checking your Majesty's pulse!"
"Is it because you are too tired?" The Queen and Concubine De were both a little embarrassed just now. They didn't say anything when they heard this. Concubine Shu came up to comfort Chunjia and said, "It should be done after a while. I was in labor before. , it’s almost the same.”
But today, Huanhua Palace seems to be at odds with the concubines.
As soon as Concubine Shu finished speaking, someone in the palace exclaimed in surprise!
When the outsiders heard this movement, they were startled and suspicious. After a while, the imperial doctor who had been responsible for taking care of the imperial concubine since Yun Fenghuang was pregnant came out in person. With a pale face, he knelt down and apologized to Chunjia: "Your Majesty, I found something in the ginseng soup that the imperial concubine just drank. I learned some bad things, and now the situation of the imperial concubine is... not very good!"
The whole place fell silent for an instant!
Chunjia's arms holding the infant tightened subconsciously. For a moment, Concubine Shu, who was walking over, saw the emperor, who had always been gentle and elegant, with fierce anger in her eyes and a sinister look between her brows.
"... Summon Sun Yu." The emperor's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly looked around, not hiding his doubts about the concubines at all. He even didn't let go of the concubine De, who had always been friends with the concubine, and looked at her with a serious look. Wei Hengyan lowered his head subconsciously.
Then he handed the baby to the Qing Dynasty and coldly ordered, "I ordered all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital who specialize in women and infants to come over!"
There was a chaos in the palace that night, and even the Queen Mother, who had been silent for a long time, was alarmed. At dawn, she called her attendants inside and asked: "The Ai family heard that there seemed to be a noise on the other side of the Taiye Pond. What's going on? Could it be that something happened to the palace gate again?"
"Mother, it seems that the imperial concubine gave birth prematurely. The imperial doctor found that the imperial concubine's food had been tampered with. Your Majesty was furious and conducted a thorough investigation of the Sixth Palace." The palace man lay on the footrest and whispered, "The Imperial City's envoys were announced overnight. Entering the palace... I don’t know what’s going on.”
The Empress Dowager snorted and said: "It turns out to be the Xiaoyun family... The Ai family asked why it was so lively."
After a pause, he asked, "Has Xiao Yun been born?"
"He was born. It is said that... he is still a little prince."
"Young prince? I'm afraid this palace will be more lively in the future." The Queen Mother said in a complicated tone, "That's all, the Yuan family and the Qu family are gone, and the so-called imperial grandmother of the Ai family is even more troublesome. Let them be."
She shook her head and put down the curtain, "Tell Ming Huiyun'an not to go to the palace for the next two days. If you have any questions, let's wait until the limelight passes!"
Just as the palace attendant was about to agree, he saw the Queen Mother pause for a moment and seemed to be saying to herself, "The noble concubine... has never been on good terms with Ming Hui..."
The Empress Dowager gradually frowned, raised her head, and whispered, "In this case, you immediately send someone to guard the palace gate. When the palace door opens, immediately go to Minghui to help her keep an eye on it! If this doesn't happen If it involves her, it has nothing to do with us. If so... Anyway, be careful with that child!"
It would be fine if the other concubines got into trouble when they gave birth, the Empress Dowager was too lazy to worry about it.
The problem is that Concubine Min is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The Queen Mother even doubted whether the so-called premature birth and drugging were true or false
After all, how could it be so easy for someone as scheming as Yun Fenghuang to trick her
When the boat overturned after the previous palace change, the Empress Dowager Yuan was very decisive, acted immediately, and her attack was sudden enough. After hearing the news, the Empress Dowager felt that it was not impossible for the Yuan family to be able to go from being a princess to being a princess and then to being the empress dowager. For the sake of.
But what about the result
Yun Fenghuang was safe and sound, and was protected by Chunjia in the Xuanqing Palace. He passed the test without any trouble.
On the other hand, the instigator, Empress Dowager Yuan, not only nearly destroyed her family, she even had to flee thousands of miles to return to her hometown.
Although no one has told the Empress Dowager about the inside story, she can probably guess it based on her experience and qualifications in growing up in the palace. Therefore, she doesn't bother to pay attention to the news about Concubine Min's death at the moment, but thinks about Minghui's recent news. Have you provoked the imperial concubine? Even if not, it may not be safe. After all, the imperial concubine is a vengeful person.
Princess Minghui is actually very quiet these days.
Even so, the Empress Dowager still has to worry about her, let alone others.
Even Concubine De felt her heart pounding at ease when she returned to Qin De Hall. She couldn't help but think that although she was a little jealous of the concubine's sister, she was usually determined and didn't show it. After I heard that the imperial concubine was pregnant, I quietly prayed that she would give birth to a princess, but never a prince... But at least I never hoped that the imperial concubine would have any shortcomings, right
Let alone doing this...
This matter shouldn't involve you
But…
Recalling Chun Jia's eyes at that time, Wei Hengyan always felt that it was difficult to settle down.
She was pretty good, mainly because she wasn't usually very courageous. Being frightened by the emperor's rare harsh words and harsh words, it was inevitable that she would feel uneasy.
When the Queen and Concubine Shu returned to their palace, they hugged their heads and cried with their confidants!
What the Queen cried was: "I have never been on good terms with the imperial concubine, but I have never thought of harming her... She is so powerful, it would be great if I don't reach out to this Chongchang Palace. Where can I find the ability to harm her?" Her?! What did your Majesty mean when you looked at me just now? He has already promised me that I will have a legitimate son, so even if your concubine gives birth to a prince, what's the use? Why would I do this!?"
Concubine Shu felt aggrieved: "It was the family's decision to join forces with the imperial concubine. Later, it was the family's idea not to speak up for the imperial concubine in the temple and even to add insult to injury... It's a good thing for them! They thought about it for themselves. Where is I?" What should I do? Although the imperial concubine has never mentioned the previous incident, with her temperament, how can she come to me without holding a grudge?! Although this incident has nothing to do with me, you all just saw it , His Majesty’s face when he heard that the imperial concubine was murdered... When the imperial concubine is lying on the hospital bed, if she mentions it delicately, your majesty will probably have to remember to hate me for the rest of his life! It’s okay for me to be rejected by your majesty, but I How old is your child? Will he lose his father's favor from now on?!"
The attendant comforted Concubine Shu and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it good for you, Your Majesty? Then you may not have the chance to talk to Your Majesty about all this?"
What if the imperial concubine dies? Wouldn't it be better to file a complaint
"The imperial concubine is gone, isn't the person in front of her still there?" Concubine Shu still couldn't rest assured, and said with a choked sob, "You don't know about the troublesome slaves? They learned from their master, and they are all as cunning as foxes! Ruoguo Imperial Concubine There is nothing they can do to trip her up. They are afraid that their evil deeds will get worse! Now that the imperial concubine is not dead, your majesty is so distressed! If the imperial concubine is really bad, do you think your majesty can listen to what she said to the people in front of her? Don’t want to go in?”
At this moment, the attendant didn't know what to say, so he could only advise dryly: "It may not come to that point... maybe it's a false alarm? Besides, it's true that we didn't do this. The imperial concubine has been doing well since she entered the palace. When have you ever suffered so much? The master and servant of Xuanqing Palace must really want to catch the real culprit and take revenge, how can they get so much?"
Concubine Shu thought about it and nodded with tears: "This is the only way..."
After saying this, he was stunned and a little puzzled, "But... the loving mother Queen Mother is gone, but who in this palace can reach out to the imperial concubine with such a long hand?"
The master and servant looked at each other, and their expressions changed!
"... Let's not talk about this anymore." Concubine Shu immediately decided, "I and the imperial concubine have a close relationship as sisters and have always lived in harmony. Now that the imperial concubine has suffered such a big disaster, I cannot help but express my feelings. In this way, you go immediately Get some scriptures and I will personally copy them and pray for your concubine from now on!"
Concubine Shu was not the only one to do this. Concubine De, Concubine Jing, Concubine Wan, Madam Qingshu, Jia Zhaorong, Yi Xiuyi and Qu Xiurong all chose a similar approach.
Among them, the Yi family and the Qu family, who came from Yun Fenghuang's command, even added the word "vegetarian" to show their sincerity.
The harem was in chaos. From the queen down, no one dared to express their anger, for fear of being thought to have something to do with the murder of the imperial concubine. However, the previous dynasty could not calm down.
The main reason is that Chunjia directly canceled the court meeting because of the murder of the imperial concubine.
This is not the first time that the always diligent emperor has canceled a court meeting, but the last time it was also because of Yun Fenghuang!
"A few days ago, the empress dowager, my loving mother, wanted to return to Fuyang County. Your Majesty tried hard to persuade her to stay. She was very affectionate, but she did not delay the government affairs." When the courtiers heard the news, most of them had only one thought, "Now for the sake of a mere concubine, you have to do this." Such a disregard for government affairs shows that this noble concubine is really charming to you!"
"What kind of charm is this, Your Majesty?" In the midst of the approval, Yin Qu objected coldly, "Don't forget, why was Your Majesty so angry when Concubine Min was poisoned? Because the Xuanqing Palace is the important place in the harem, Concubine Min is also a high-ranking person in the palace. I often spend time with His Majesty in my daily life, and yet I am poisoned by others... Is this a blessing for the palace?! How can Your Majesty rest assured that such a major matter cannot be thoroughly investigated and the hidden dangers eliminated?"
My ministers, you looked at me and I looked at you, but you didn't say a word.
It wasn't that Yin Qu was blocked and she had nothing to say, but that she knew that because of her direct grandson, she was a staunch imperial concubine.
It is said that the life or death of the imperial concubine is still uncertain. Chunjia did not even come to the court meeting, which shows how anxious she is. Now she is arguing with Yin Qu. Even if she wins, there is no guarantee that this guy will not sue the emperor and make them the emperor's punching bag.
So I simply didn't argue with him, but gradually started to connect with him in private. How to make Concubine Min abandon Chunjia
It is not a blessing for the country to have a concubine like this who repeatedly drags down the emperor's business to stay in the palace for a long time!
