The prince is seriously ill

Liyang Palace became a mess.

"I'd like to report to your concubine Xian, the emperor has escorted the second prince to the Supervisor of Rituals," said the palace maid.

"What's going on?" Concubine Xian stood up, her eyebrows furrowed.

"My servant heard that it was because the second prince stole the jade pendant of Kong Youde, the son of the Confucian mansion. The emperor was furious when he found out, so he imprisoned the second prince in the prison of ceremonies, saying that the second prince is, he..." The maid paused, and Yu Guang glanced at Concubine Xian, lowered his head and said, "You said that the second prince's hands and feet are not clean, and he won't kneel down when he sees the emperor, and ordered him to go to the ceremonial supervisor to learn the rules."

Concubine Xian frowned even more when she heard this, and shook her head with certainty, "No! Yu'er will never steal other people's things! He is a prince no matter what, how could he have the idea of ​​a jade pendant? There must be something strange in it. Go and ask Ben Gong to find out what happened, and come back and tell me right away.”

Concubine Xian sat back on the chair.Supervisor of rituals?The cruelty of such an internal servant organization that mass-produced well-behaved eunuchs and court ladies for the royal family can be described as appalling.Any court lady or eunuch who made some mistakes in the process of serving the master, and the master punished him, no matter if it was a big mistake or a small mistake, he would be beaten back to the Supervisor of Rituals.It is said that those servants who came in by mistake never made the same mistake again when they finally went out again.No one knows what happened to them.Some people say that it is comparable to [-] layers of hell, but some people say that it is a paradise for correcting mistakes.

For a dignified prince, even if he doesn't know etiquette, he should be taught by a master of etiquette. How could he go to the chief of etiquette specially set up for eunuchs and maids of honor?

The second prince has entered the Supervisor of Rituals, will they show mercy?Will they recognize him as a prince and not a eunuch and court lady?But if even the emperor didn't recognize him as the prince, how could they still recognize him?

Will Yuer survive?Concubine Xian was restless, and finally figured out the whole story, and then went to the imperial study angrily.She wants to meet that cruel king of tigers and wolves, she wants to ask him why he doesn't even let her own son go, and she wants to ask him if he is afraid of karmic retribution in the cycle of heaven.

Although in this world, he is the last person she wants to see, but for Yu Er, she has to see him.She didn't believe at all that he would take the initiative to let him out, and it was very likely that he would let him fend for himself in the prison of ceremonies.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian, please see me!" Eunuch Chang stood in front of the steps and said cautiously.

"Concubine Xian?" Xun Zhi snorted coldly, "Didn't you see that I'm busy? No way!" Without raising his head, he continued to trace the painting in his hand.

Eunuch Chang stood aside respectfully and said nothing more.

Concubine Xian waited outside the door with an indifferent expression on her face. It had been half an hour since the announcement, but the man had no intention of summoning her.If it was a few years ago, she would use her fists and kicks to rush in recklessly, but now she can only wait. If he can't announce her in, then she will wait for him to come out. She doesn't believe that he can always hide in the imperial study.More than ten years of court life has smoothed her sharp edges and corners. She has long known that no matter how good her martial arts are, she can only bow her head in front of the supreme power.She will never be the same as before, impulsive like a fool that ten cows can't hold back.

She always kept in mind the purpose of this trip, not to annoy him, but to ask him to let Xun Yu go.

After another hour, Eunuch Chang finally came out and delivered the oracle to let her in.

"See Your Majesty," Concubine Xian bowed expressionlessly.

"It's really a rare guest," Xun Zhi sneered, "I guess the concubine Xian is here today, she must be a lobbyist for that monster?"

"The concubine doesn't know what the monster the emperor is talking about. The concubine came today to ask the emperor to let your second prince Xun Yu go." Concubine Xian stared slightly, her tone seemed a little unkind.

Xun Zhi laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Concubine Xian is begging me?"

"The concubine is indeed begging the emperor to let the second prince go. The concubine promised the emperor that the second prince will not appear in front of the emperor again." Concubine Xian knelt on the ground with her head down.

"Then Xianfei thinks, will I agree or not?"

"Although the concubine knows that the emperor will not agree, the concubine still wants to give it a try." Concubine Xian said without fear.

Xun Zhi squeezed his joints. She was right, he would not agree to her. "Since Concubine Xian already knows the answer, please go back. As for the Second Prince, he will naturally go back in less than a month. The Second Prince will not die, so why should Concubine Xian be in a hurry."

"The emperor is right, the second prince will not die, at most he will die with half his life."

Xun Zhi's face darkened, his patience seemed to be at its limit, and he said every word: "As a prince, you don't know how to respect yourself, such a person with dirty hands and feet, and no respect for his eyes, I must teach him a lesson!"

"Whether the second prince stole the jade pendant or not, the emperor knows very well. Since the emperor wants to teach him a lesson, why bother to find a lame excuse?"

Xun Zhi narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his voice was extremely low, "What does Concubine Xian mean, that I deliberately framed the second prince?"

Concubine Xian raised her head and looked directly at him coldly, "The emperor has already murdered my child, and now he is going to force the second prince to his death. Isn't the emperor afraid of sleeping at night with a disturbed conscience and taking his life?"

Xun Zhi was furious, and slammed it on the table, "Nonsense, when did I harm your child?"

Concubine Xian stared at him closely, and stood up straight from the ground, "The emperor thought that the concubine wouldn't know if things were done without anyone noticing? The concubine was puzzled at the beginning, why the maid who was ordered to bring me the medicine was suddenly transferred from Liyang Palace, the concubine wanted to follow the emperor's method, the maid had already been wiped out, let alone survived to this day. The emperor even wants to murder the prince who is less than two months old, so how could he not take the opportunity to get rid of the second prince who the emperor wants to kill?"

Xun Zhi kicked over the table in front of him, like a gust of wind, grabbed her neck, gritted his teeth and said, "Concubine Xian is a smart person, why is she so stupid today?"

Concubine Xian also smiled back. She could have avoided it, but she chose to stand where she was.

Ever since she found out the truth about the stillborn child nine years ago, and since she learned that she would never be able to have children, she has been looking forward to this moment all the time.Some words were rotten and moldy hidden in her stomach, but they were deeply rooted in her heart, and she couldn't forget them even for a moment.Whenever she saw the mastermind behind the scenes, she wished to dig out his heart and cut off his head as a sacrifice to her child, but she knew that she would never be able to bring this murderer to justice, and she would never be able to do it for him. To avenge her poor child, she can only make Jiuquan wronged by her child who didn't even have time to look at the world...

Concubine Xian let him choke her throat, breathing was a bit difficult, but she only felt in her heart that she had never felt so free, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why should the emperor be angry? If people don't know, unless he does nothing, the emperor will not even do this." I don't even know the reason. The emperor killed the child in the concubine's belly because he was jealous of the strength of our Mu family. Thinking of how much my father, General Mu, has done for the emperor, it is already enough to shock the Lord. If the concubine The Mu family will become even more unscrupulous if they are pregnant with the prince again. What the emperor is most worried about is that if the emperor wants to move our Mu family, the Mu family will support his grandson in a rage."

The veins in Xun Zhi's hands popped out, and his hands became stronger, "Mu Yao, are you not afraid that I will kill you now?"

Concubine Xian coughed, her face flushed red, "Why would the emperor kill the concubine now? The concubine's father is now sending troops south to wipe out the rebels, with heavy troops in his hands. The reason why the emperor married the concubine was because he wanted to marry the concubine." Is there a hostage to prevent the concubine's father from doing anything wrong? If the emperor kills the concubine now, once the emperor's Lord Taishan knows that his most beloved daughter died in the palace, what will the emperor use to threaten the concubine's father? Now Wouldn't it be worth the loss to kill the courtiers and concubines?"

In fact, her father was loyal to this man.She knew very well in her heart that even if the emperor really killed her, General Mu would never turn against him. The king wanted his minister to die, and the minister had to die. This is her father who will serve the country with iron bones and loyalty.But she knew that the king of the country in front of her would never think so, he would not trust anyone, even those good generals and loyal ministers who wished to give their hearts to him.It is precisely because of this that she is sure that he will not kill her, or that he will not kill her now, and he will keep her to contain her father who holds a heavy army. Only when the Mu family is over, she has no value in living He would kill her without hesitation.

"The virtuous concubine thinks, when will it be worthwhile for me to kill you?" Xun Zhi said.

"When the birds are exhausted and the bow is hidden," Concubine Xian said without thinking, pulling her throat as the air became thinner and thinner.

"Concubine Xian, don't you know that what I hate the most is people who pretend to be smart? I really won't kill you today," Xun Zhi threw her away violently, letting her bend over and cough, and said with a sinister smile, "Don't Forget the purpose of your coming to me today!"

"The concubine never forgot." Concubine Xian knelt down as usual, "I beg the emperor to let the second prince Xun Yu go!"

"What if I don't let you go? What about Concubine Xian?"

"If the emperor doesn't let go, the courtiers and concubines have no choice but to go back to Liyang Palace and wait for the second prince to come back. The emperor also said that he will not die. After all, the prince is a prince, and no matter how cruel the supervisor is, he will stay." Some measure."

"If that's the case, wouldn't the concubine Xian come here for nothing?" Xun Zhi said.

"Mother and child, that's all the concubine can do, what happens in the end is left to fate." Concubine Xian lowered her eyelids and said.

Seeing her neither humble nor overbearing, Xun Zhi felt even more angry, and was about to explode, but suddenly laughed, "It's not impossible for me to let the second prince go."

"What does the emperor want my concubine to do?" Concubine Xian said indifferently, she knew that he would let him go, but she also knew that he would never let her go so easily.

Xun Zhi came over and raised her head and said: "As long as the concubine Xian takes good care of your husband, I will let him go." He specially re-read the words "husband", because he couldn't bear her condescending appearance He must kill her spirit, destroy her prestige, he must trample on her dignity that is more important than life, he wants her to be like a bitch under him To court her, he wanted her to know how low he wanted her to be.

"You are not joking, I hope the emperor will keep his word." A trace of contempt flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes, she knew that this person would take revenge on her, and he would even take revenge on her in the most unbearable way.He would order her to say the most disgusting things in the world, tell her to fill him all over, and even force her to swallow the filthiest thing.But what does it matter, it's just a transaction, she will satisfy him whatever he wants, no matter how humble her body is, it's not as good as his soul.

For her children, it's all worth it!
