Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Mo Zhaohua chuckled, "My dear, I am a doctor, not a deity. Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell."

Chu Xuanchi was looking forward to having children, but now he is afraid, "In this case, I don't want Zhao Zhao to have children."

Mo Zhaohua was still waiting for her Chen'er. "It depends on fate. Not everyone will encounter danger. Maybe I am lucky."

Chu Xuanchi couldn't afford to gamble, "But I don't want to gamble with your life. Even with the imperial doctors in the palace, accidents often happen, not to mention..."

"Shh..." Mo Zhaohua stretched out his index finger and pressed it on his lips. "Today is the first day of the new year. My husband, please don't say anything unlucky."

Chu Xuanchi grabbed her hand and said, "My fault. Let's talk about the matter of the virtuous concubine. It seems that there is something wrong with what the emperor did today."

Mo Zhaohua was also curious, "It is indeed puzzling. Your Majesty has never taken Prince Rui seriously, but today he has banned Concubine Xian's foot for him."

She paused and continued, "Could it be that Your Majesty is not doing this for King Rui, but because he saw blood today and feels that he has run into bad luck?"

"In my opinion, it's both, but not all. Otherwise, the matter could be handled by the Queen. Why would Father have to come in person?"

Chu Xuanchi also paused, "I'm afraid that General Yuchi is too old, and Yuchi Changgong's military achievements are limited, so the position of Concubine Xian is not stable."

Mo Zhaohua had not thought of this aspect, "Husband, do you think that His Majesty intends to demote the virtuous concubine?"

Chu Xuanchi nodded, "I think there is such a sign. The four concubines are full, but the three concubines are not at fault. Only the virtuous concubine can be demoted."

"But why did His Majesty suddenly demote Consort Xian?" Mo Zhaohua said as he came to his senses, "Is he trying to give up the position to someone else?"

"Zhao Zhao is smart!" Chu Xuanchi was happy with her quick response. "Then think about it again. Who do you want to give up your seat to?"

Mo Zhaohua thought for a moment and said, "It should be Concubine Ning. Although Concubine Ning's father has no talent, he has a brave and warlike brother."

Although Emperor Wenzong had many concubines in his harem, only a few of them could be ranked high, let alone the four concubines.

Chu Xuanchi chuckled with satisfaction, "Yes, Song Cheng'an has made outstanding military achievements in the western frontier over the years, which is enough to help Concubine Ning get promoted."

Speaking of Song Chengan, Mo Zhaohua recalled Rong Qing's past. Unfortunately, Wuying has not yet investigated it clearly.

Firstly, the incident happened too long ago, about 17 or 18 years ago; secondly, the person involved deliberately concealed it.

In order to prevent the matter from getting out of hand, both the Fuguogong Mansion and the Jinnanbo Mansion intervened, and there are only a few people left who know the truth.

in the afternoon.

Zhenguo General's Mansion.

In the main hall, Yuchi Kun was feeling uneasy and paced back and forth.

Yuchi Changgong was dazzled by what he saw. "Father, please sit down and rest for a while. Be careful not to tire yourself out."

Yuchi Kun couldn't sit still, "Why was the queen confined for no reason, and on such a big day?"

News from the deep palace is not so easy to spread, and he currently only knows the result but not the reason.

Yuchi Changgong said, "My son has asked someone to inquire. Prince Qi and the princess were both in the palace at the time, so they may know the inside story."

Yuchi Kun continued to pace, "Your Majesty did not invite Prince Qi to have a meal in the palace. They should have returned to Prince Qi's mansion long ago, right?"

Yuchi Changgong reminded, "Although your majesty has not stayed, there is still the Concubine Liang. In short, father, please don't worry. It's useless to worry."

After all, Yuchi Kun was old and soon felt tired. He could only sit down to rest, while his attendants beside him hurriedly poured him tea and water.

The father and son sat and chatted about other things for a while, and a servant came in with a letter, "Old Master, Master, a letter from Prince Qi's Mansion."

Yuchi Kun took the letter and opened it immediately. The content of the letter was exactly the details of Concubine Xian’s house arrest. He frowned after just a glance.

Yuchi Changgong couldn't see the letter, so he could only anxiously ask, "Father, does the letter mention anything about our queen?"

Yuchi Kun then said, "The queen had a hysterical attack and injured Prince Rui. There was a wound on his chest that almost endangered his life."

"What?" Yuchi Changgong was shocked. "No wonder His Majesty is so angry. This is the first day of the new year. How can there be blood?"

After reading the letter, Yuchi Kun handed it to Yuchi Changgong and asked him to read it himself. The letter was written by Yuchi Jiuyue and contained quite a lot of content.

Yuchi Changgong's eyebrows were raised, "Our queen has become like this, and the imperial concubine still refuses to let her go."

"No." Yuchi Kun recalled what was written in the letter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. "It's very wrong."

Yuchi Changgong had just finished reading and had no time to think about it, "What's wrong? Father has discovered something."

Yuchi Kun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's attitude is wrong. This matter could have been handled by the Queen, but she went to Changchun Palace in person."

"It must be that the Imperial Concubine spread rumors to confuse Your Majesty and deliberately stir up trouble." Yuchi Changgong was only thinking about Imperial Concubine Chunhui's actions.

Yuchi Kun disagreed, "Your Majesty is such a wise man, how could he not see what the concubine is thinking? This is clearly going with the flow."

"Father, do you think that His Majesty is targeting Consort Xian?" Yuchi Changgong was puzzled. "But why is that? Your Majesty has been behaving herself over the years."

Yuchi Kun spoke solemnly, "Your Majesty is well behaved, but the harem is not. I'm afraid someone has set their sights on your Majesty's position."

"Who is so ambitious?" Yuchi Changgong thought, "The four concubines are of equal rank, so only those below them would covet it."

Yuchi Kun didn't know much about the harem, so he asked him, "Who is the most favored concubine in the harem now?"

Yuchi Changgong thought for a moment, "Your Majesty is not fond of women. Except for the Imperial Concubine Chunxian, no other concubine has ever been favored."

In those days, Concubine Chunxian was the most favored concubine in the harem, but after her death, Emperor Wenzong treated all concubines equally and the harem was relatively harmonious.

Yuchi Kun naturally knew about this, "That's true, then you should think carefully about which concubine has the opportunity to be promoted."

Yuchi Changgong was helpless, "Father, please don't embarrass your son. Since our queen had no chance to be promoted again, she has never paid attention to the harem."

"Useless!" Yuchi Kun was furious. "You are so stupid. When I close my eyes, what will you use to support this general's mansion?"

Yuchi Changgong had always been afraid of him, so he agreed timidly, "Father taught me that, I will ask someone to find out right away."

On the other side is Changchun Palace.

The virtuous concubine was throwing things angrily and scolding the palace maids.

She has been making a fuss like this since she woke up and learned about the punishment.

The palace gate was heavy and outsiders could not hear any noise, but it was a pity for the palace maids serving her inside.

Concubine Xian gnashed her teeth, her eyes bloodshot, "Damn Lin Tianyi, he still won't let me go."

Lin Tianyi was the maiden name of Concubine Chunhui. When they were in the Eastern Palace, they had conflicts over their status.

The prince can only have two concubines, but Chu Mingxuan had already reserved one of them for Rong Xi, who had not yet reached the age of marriage.

That is the current Defei. This is the intention of Empress Dowager Yuande. Her mother's family is her support, so she must add people to the harem.

Therefore, there was only one position of concubine left, and both Concubine Xian and Concubine Chunhui, who were of marriageable age at that time, wanted to get this position.
