[Red House] That natural stay

Spread out on the table is a piece of paper, on which are a few lines of very clear lines:

On October 23th, the [-]rd year of Shenghe, Concubine Li secretly met with Mother Zhou.

On October 23, the [-]rd year of Shenghe, Concubine Li dedicated the beauty cream presented by her elder brother to the Queen Mother.

holy union...

Concubine Li's face turned paler as she went to the back.The hand beside her was tightly clutching the pink handkerchief.

"Aifei, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Sheng He still looked at her with a smile and said.

Concubine Li moved her eyes away from the paper, and looked at the eyes of Emperor Shenghe who did not have the slightest smile.I don't know why, but my mind at this moment is extremely calm and clear.

Kneeling down on the ground with a bang, tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, do you think it's a concubine who wants to murder the Empress Dowager?" In any case, even if it's in court, you can't admit it.What's more, the emperor didn't question her with great fanfare, but chose to do so in private, so it can be seen that he didn't necessarily want to kill her.More importantly, the Eighth Prince was not involved in it at all, so even at this time, she didn't feel much fear.

"Isn't it difficult for you? You want to consolidate your position and remove obstacles for your son." Emperor Shenghe's eyes were extremely cold, but the words he spit out hit her heart every word.

Concubine Li smiled sadly, the tears in her beautiful eyes flowed down her cheeks, she understood that what Emperor Sheng He said was absolutely right, but women always want to show their best side to the person they love the most, not Gong Yu. Scheming, extremely vicious.

"Your majesty, since you already think so, the concubine has nothing to say, but to prove her innocence with death." As soon as the words fell, she rushed towards the pillar beside her.

Shocked, Emperor Shenghe got up quickly and hugged Concubine Li just before she hit the pillar. The strength was so great that he took a few steps back suddenly, and his back hit the pillar behind him.He frowned reflexively, and snorted.

Looking down, Concubine Li in her arms had already passed out.Emperor Shenghe was about to call someone, but Eunuch Li, who was waiting outside, had already walked in when he heard the noise.

"emperor…?"

"Hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

"Yes!" Before he saw what was going on, he hurriedly bowed his head and backed out.But she thought in her heart, it seems that Concubine Li escaped a catastrophe this time.

The palace people came in and out one after another, and Concubine Li had already been placed on the dragon bed.

Emperor Shenghe looked at the pale and ugly woman on the bed, and he knew that the words of "prove your innocence by death" were not a joke.If he hadn't stopped her in time at that time, the one lying down at this moment would probably be a corpse.There are mixed feelings in my heart, I understand that this is just Concubine Li's escape plan, but I really have the idea of ​​death.The woman I've spoiled for so many years, even if it's just a substitute, already has feelings for her.No matter what, it was impossible to just watch her die in front of her eyes.

"Your majesty, your majesty just had too much emotional ups and downs, she couldn't stand it for a while and fainted, it's not a serious problem." After the imperial physician finished the diagnosis, he reported from the side.

"Okay, I understand." Then he waved his hand and let the imperial doctor go down.

But after a while, others were let down, and only the two of them were left.

Emperor Sheng He paced repeatedly, how should we deal with this matter?Obviously, it is impossible to just mention it like this, not to mention how the Queen Mother reacted after waking up, even if I couldn't pass this level.Kill Concubine Li?Obviously it's impossible, regardless of affection, just say that the other party is the eighth prince's biological mother, if executed like this, it will inevitably have an impact on the eighth prince's future.Tell the reason, and lose face of the royal family again.

In the end, she stopped in her tracks, stood in front of the bed and stared at Concubine Li who still had no signs of waking up, and called Eunuch Li in...

----

"I know." The queen smiled and dismissed the person who came to deliver the message.

When the man had completely left and there were only his own people left in the hall, the maid at the side said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is too fond of Concubine Li, and murdering the Empress Dowager is only sent to Hanshan Temple to pray for the palace." In the words Quite dissatisfied.

Hanshan Temple is a temple on the outskirts of the capital. It is located on the hillside of Hanshan Mountain and is a royal temple.Over the years, the sacrifices to heaven and blessings have been held there, and there will also be concubines from the palace. Of course, they are usually the ones who made mistakes but did not die. The imperial concubine Sheng in the □□ period was a model who was dispatched to Hanshan Temple and finally returned to the palace with greater grace.Therefore, being assigned to Hanshan Temple does not mean that there is no chance of a comeback.

Hearing this, the queen smiled, but did not answer.pet?A dog will have feelings if kept by his side for a long time, let alone a human?She is still a stand-in for a woman she loves deeply, so she is reluctant to let her die.But so what?Not everyone is as lucky as Concubine Sheng, otherwise, after a hundred years, there will not be only one 'Concubine Sheng'.By the time that person made a comeback, everything was settled.

"Concubine Li is an old man in the palace. The emperor must be tolerant. However, after Concubine Li is gone, there may not be any close people in the palace. Concubine Li looks pretty good at home. Palace, you go there yourself." After a while, the queen turned around and ordered.

"Yes, the servant will go here."

----

"What did you say? The concubine mother was dispatched to Hanshan Temple?" the Eighth Prince Xia said in disbelief.

"Yes, yes, that's the news from the palace just now." The man kneeling on the ground was cautious.

Xia already sat down on the chair, and he wrote a reply as soon as he received the letter.Just because he was afraid that his impulsive and naive concubine mother would cause some troubles, she was a step too late.Hanshan Temple, isn't this telling everyone that the mother and concubine made a mistake?Moreover, there is no one in the palace, how can he act cheaply?

At this moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Xia Ji's mind.The only thing she didn't have was worry about Concubine Li.

Forcing himself to settle down, he can't be messed up now.The current situation is extremely unfavorable to him, and something must be done to restore it.

"My prince is going to enter the palace." After thinking for a while, he said resolutely.

----

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince seeks an audience." Eunuch Li reported cautiously.

Emperor Shenghe raised his eyebrows. He didn't deliberately block the news that Concubine Li was going to Hanshan Temple, so it was expected that Xia had returned.It's just that he doesn't know what role his good son plays in this matter.Although Xia Ji's involvement was not found out, Emperor Shenghe believed in his intuition that his seemingly peaceful son might not be as harmless as he appeared on the surface.

"Let him in." He wanted to see what to say.

"I will see my father." Xia already bowed below.

"Get up!"

"Yes."

"Why are you here today?" Emperor Shenghe put down the memorial in his hand and looked at him.

"Father, my son wants to petition to go to Hanshan Temple with mother and concubine to pray for blessings." Xia Ji said, there was no mention of intercession in his words, but he seemed extremely sincere.

"Are you going to Hanshan Temple?" Emperor Shenghe was a little surprised.Before that, he thought that this son would cry and plead for Concubine Li, or question him.But I never thought about the possibility of asking to go to Hanshan Temple together.

"Yes, it is an extremely honorable thing for the mother and concubine to pray for the country. As a son, as the prince of the Southern Kingdom, I want to do my best."

Emperor Shenghe carefully observed Xia Ji who was sitting below, without any reluctance in his expression, but looked at him beggingly.An absurd thought could not help but arise in his heart. Could it be that he has misjudged this son all along? !

Although Hanshan Temple is a royal temple, the environment is just like its name, it is a "bitter cold place" in the capital.This time of late autumn and early winter is the hardest.The pampered concubine and prince can see how much hardship she will suffer there.Prayers are not just words.

"Are you really going?" I couldn't help asking again and again.

"Yes, my son is willing to go with mother and concubine." The eighth prince replied firmly.

Emperor Shenghe pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.Regardless of whether Xia Ji was sincere or not, it had to be said that this trick successfully dissipated his anger towards their mother and son.

Xia Ji also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fearing that Emperor Shenghe would disagree.At that time, I really didn't know what to do.Although the environment in Hanshan Temple is difficult, it is better than staying alone in the capital and being treated coldly or excluded by brothers and ministers.When the rumors passed, he believed that his father would definitely think of his mother and concubine again, and his situation after returning to Beijing would not be too bad.

So, the matter was settled like this.When the news spread, of course each had their own thoughts and thoughts. After all, their own interests were not involved, and more people chose to stand on the sidelines.

When Mo Jue heard the news from Fu Yijun, he just laughed it off as a normal 'joke'.
