Queen's Road in the Red House

Xin Hongcheng looked at the distorted expression on this beautiful face, and said softly: "Xin Hongying, you are really crazy."

At the moment when the two were talking, the outside of the window was already covered with cloudy clouds. At this time, lightning flashed and thunder started, and the rumbling thunder seemed to be rolling in the ears.

Xin Hongcheng pushed open the window, and a damp wind rushed in.

Xin Hongying, who was tied up and sitting on the ground, also looked out of the window: "This summer, there are many winds and rains in Beijing, but the day you got married was sunny and sunny with a cool breeze. And when I got married, it was supposed to be spring and scenery, but unexpectedly it was cold Rewinding the scroll, I heard that many wives were froze." He raised his head and looked at the sky: "Xin Hongcheng, it's not that I'm not as good as you, but that God's will never favors me."

Xin Hongcheng waved to Qin Wu, motioning for him to bring someone in, then turned to Xin Hongying and said, "For a person like you, if God will not send lightning to strike you to death, you will be content."

Qin Wu brought Concubine Kang.

Although she had changed into clean clothes, Concubine Kang, who had been "patiently questioned" by the Department of Punishment, was still trembling with a frightened expression.

Because she was wearing a sinful body, Concubine Kang got rid of her hairpin at this moment, and after entering the door, she threw herself in front of Xin Hongying, raising her hand as if to hit him, but that slap never fell on Xin Hongying's face, but on Concubine Kang's own. face.

After she slapped herself twice, she suddenly turned her head to face Xin Hongcheng and kowtowed continuously: "Fourth Highness! It's all my fault, you forgive him, you forgive him! You are brothers, you cover it up for him, you Plead for him! The emperor will spare him! Or give me death, I was the one who poisoned the empress!"

Xin Hongcheng sideways avoided.

Seeing Concubine Kang's head was red and swollen, she signaled Qin Wu to stop her.Concubine Kang broke down and despaired, and threw herself in front of her son again, and beat him weakly: "Why, why! Ying'er, mother only has you, how could you do such a rebellious thing! Your name is mother!" How will you live in the future!"

Since Concubine Kang came in just now, Xin Hongying's expression remained the same, even her eyes did not fluctuate, as if it was not his biological mother who was begging to kowtow.

It was not until Concubine Kang said the last sentence that he let out a laugh in his throat: "How to live? Of course it is to live as before, servile and servile, living on a little alms from pleasing others every day. This is not what mother concubine knows best. something?"

Concubine Kang was stunned, she couldn't say a word except she shed tears unconsciously.

Xin Hongcheng didn't want to watch it any longer.Let Concubine Concubine Kang come in just to test whether he can impress the third prince with affection, and test whether he has an antidote.

In fact, he had a hunch just now that this method should be useless: if she cared about her mother, Xin Hongying would not use Concubine Kang to poison her.Even if Concubine Kang is indeed ignorant, she will never be innocent.

Ningshou Palace.

The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager sat on the head, and the Emperor accompanied the Supreme Emperor slightly below.

The room was oppressive.

"You asked Cheng'er to personally bring Qin Wu to arrest people, so you must have refused to be vague about the past." The Supreme Emperor put the teacup on the table: "It would be a shame if there is a quarrel about the Tian family's private affairs. Seriously, it will even damage the prestige of the royal family."

Tianjia should be a flawless fairy image high in the clouds, so that the people can admire it.

The Supreme Emperor sighed and said: "My great regret in this life is that I didn't teach the prince more attentively, so that the scandal of the prince's rebellion and deposed was born, and the history books will be stained." He looked at the emperor: "At that time The shock cannot be covered up, but this matter is only within the palace walls, and outsiders don't know about it, so there is still room to cover it up. Although the third child is unforgivable, he doesn't have to lose the face of the entire royal family. Find someone in the future The next excuse is to circle or expel the jade document."

The royal family advocates filial piety, and requires officials and people to put filial piety first, but in the end, the concubine murdered the mother-in-law in their own family. Isn't it a slap in the face.

The emperor hung his head in silence, his face was as cold as a frozen lake in winter.

Seeing his non-violent non-cooperation, the Supreme Emperor did not continue to insist, and sighed: "I am not trying to make decisions for you, after all, it is your wife and son, so just do as you want."

The emperor was quite surprised, it was unbelievable that freedom came so quickly.

After pondering for a moment, he said to the Supreme Emperor: "Father, the face of the Tian family is important, but this matter is extremely bad. The queen almost died. I really can't confuse the past and call her wronged. Besides, people are not sages, how can the Tian family have no faults?" , since ancient times to the present, there have been many emperors who have sinned against themselves. Therefore, I will deal with this matter impartially, and the Ming Dynasty will punish you as a warning to others!"

The Empress Dowager was just listening and didn't say a word. At this time, she raised her hand and poured tea for the Empress Dowager herself.

After a dignified silence, the Supreme Emperor suddenly let out a long sigh: "After the prince was abolished, I had several sons, and finally chose you as emperor. Do you know why?"

The emperor hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Father loves you so much, and my son will always remember it in his heart."

The Supreme Emperor felt lost: "Since you were young, you have been a person who can't rub sand in your eyes. At that time, in the study room, your brothers messed with you and Xiao Liu's homework, and Xiao Liu's child knew how to behave, so he stayed up all night to make up for it the next day. Hand it in as usual, but you are the only one who refuses—you are wrong if you say it is wrong, and you refuse to bear it if it is not your fault."

"Many times the king can't help himself, and he can't admit his mistakes. Even if he regrets, he must make a mistake to the end." The Supreme Emperor said solemnly: "When I first sat on the throne, internal and external troubles, the throne was supported by generals, so as long as they don't Conspiracy, I will always be so lenient."

The emperor was slightly shocked, and looked up at the Supreme Emperor.

"I'm old, not only can't admit my mistakes, but I can't bear it from the bottom of my heart. For example, the Zhen family, even if there is a clear mistake, but the wet nurse comes into the palace and cries, how can I deal with it? Emperor, after a hundred years, I will fight for the country. You can deal with these people according to the law." The emperor's old face trembled slightly: "Just don't do anything, don't hurt their lives."

The emperor bowed his head and agreed, but he thought in his heart: But in these years, they have arranged lawsuits, colluded with party members to buy and sell official positions, corrupt officials are rampant, and how many civilians have been hurt!

Xin Hongcheng returned to Fengyi Palace first.

Seeing him sitting beside Empress Yang's couch, Daiyu wiped his forehead with fine beads of sweat, "Don't worry, Imperial Physician Wu's antidote has already been seen."

Xin Hongcheng drank the herbal tea offered by Miss Zou, and said to Daiyu, "I was going to take Xin Hongying to see the Supreme Emperor and Father. On the way, I wanted to visit the Queen Mother, and I wanted to see you too."

Daiyu sat beside him: "The third prince pleaded guilty?"

Xin Hongcheng said coldly, "He's a lunatic."

Daiyu held Xin Hongcheng's hand with lowered eyes, and the two intertwined their fingers. Her voice was soft, but with a strength that could sink to the bottom of people's hearts: "He killed his mother, and his crime is unforgivable. I know you are now He is trying to act rationally, but he really hates it in his heart."

She looked at Xin Hongcheng's eyes, those flying sharp eyes, now dark and full of suppressed hatred.

"But in front of the emperor for a while, you can't be impulsive, and you can't take the initiative to shout and kill." The world is like this, even if the queen is the one who suffers, Xin Hongcheng is really worried about her, but in the eyes of outsiders, the queen is not his biological mother after all.

And if he used this as an excuse to deal with his brother severely, it would be an opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

Daiyu has seen rumors of killing people from the Rongguo Mansion, and she has a deep experience in the palace.

Xin Hongcheng didn't answer, but raised his hand to support her chin, and looked at the lamp: "Look at your dark circles, you have to take care of yourself first."

Daiyu said anxiously, "I'm telling you the truth!"

Xin Hongcheng smiled for the first time in a few days: "It's still so easy to get anxious." Then he said seriously: "I'm just afraid that you won't be at ease, so I came here to tell you first."

"Before I went to see him, I wished my father would execute him. After I saw him, I changed my mind." He held his wife's hand, thinking of Xin Hongying's indifferent expression towards Concubine Kang, who didn't even care about her biological mother. If you think about it, you don't care about your wife who has been married for half a year.Such a person has no nostalgia and bright colors in his life.

"Xin Hongying is not afraid of death. If his death prevents me from becoming a prince, I think he will be very happy instead. How can I fulfill him."

"The Supreme Emperor is benevolent, and the Emperor Father's affection for the Queen Mother is nothing more than that. If the Queen Mother can wake up and survive, Xin Hongying's fate will probably only be locked up."

"He is a person who has been in the mud all his life. He wished to drag everyone into the mud to be as painful as him. I just want him to watch me be the prince, watch the mother recover from the mother's kindness and filial piety, and see that our husband and wife are harmonious, It’s something he’s never had in his life.”

Xin Hongcheng let go of his wife's hand, patted him comfortingly, then got up and straightened his collar: "Not only will I not advise my father to execute him, but I will ask my father to find a doctor to take good care of him. Death, sometimes The easiest thing in the world is to close your eyes and know nothing."

"He doesn't deserve it."

--

"Heartless and unethical bastard!"

In front of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, Xin Hongying did not retract the confession, and explained the matter with a kind of cold disdain.

When the emperor heard that he was adding medicine to the sugar, he couldn't help but violently kicked him over.

Xin Hongying was weak, so he vomited blood.He didn't care, he just raised his hand to wipe it, and then stared at the emperor with a weird cold look.

The emperor shouted angrily: "Why, you still want to kill the king and father?"

However, Xin Hongcheng helped the emperor back, a lunatic is the most terrifying thing in the world, not to mention the emperor, even the Buddha dared to kill the Buddha.

The Empress Dowager suddenly interjected, "Have all the imperial physicians who have seen the Third Prince over the years been overwhelmed?"

Xin Hongcheng cupped his hands: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson has ordered them to be held in the imperial pharmacy for the time being. Among them, the two who are most familiar with the third brother... the third prince have been sent to the Department of Punishment."

Although the imperial physician is an official and should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, but in order not to leak the news, he can only ask the Department of Punishment to work overtime.

The queen mother nodded: "He can't leave the palace. Concubine Kang's mother's family is in decline, and she rarely interacts with the inner palace. He always needs to get some medicines from the imperial hospital. It will also help the queen if he asks about it earlier. "

The Supreme Emperor nodded, looked at the grandson, and frowned deeply.

In the past two years, he has been in charge of the education of the grandchildren, and he actually has a good impression of Xin Hongying.Gentle and kind, intelligent and good at learning, and brilliant in writing, Taifu Qin once regretted that it is a pity that the prince is not in good health, otherwise even if he cannot be a flourishing emperor, he can still be an assistant and capable minister.

All of them were blinded by a child.

No, the Supreme Emperor thought in his heart: They were not deceived, but they didn't look at it at all.Xin Hongcheng and the second prince's character are what they care most about, but for the third prince, it seems that everyone's expectation of him is that he can live well and don't get sick. Nothing else matters.

What kind of heart is he, whether it is the Supreme Emperor or the Emperor, he has never considered it.

The emperor turned around several times in annoyance, and then asked Xin Hongcheng, "How is the queen?"

"Wu Imperial Physician, Dr. Xiao Yin and Miss Zhou have already prepared and tested the antidote together, and now there is a clue."

The emperor looked at Xin Hongying with disgust in his eyes: "Shut him up in the enclosure behind Mingzheng Palace, and I will deal with him when the queen wakes up!"

Qin Wu quickly took orders.

"Also, don't give him any food! If the empress can't eat for a few days, just starve him for a few days! Hang a picture of Guanyin in the enclosure, and ask him to kneel and repent."

Xin Hongcheng is skeptical about the confession.

Sure enough, Xin Hongying's indifferent expression was tinged with sarcasm, as if mocking the emperor's innocence.

Emperor Xuanhe became more and more furious: "My sons all take the character Hong, but now you have vicious thoughts, rebellious words and deeds, and are not worthy of being my son."

The Empress Dowager raised his eyebrows, and just about to speak, the Empress Dowager's hand suddenly covered the back of his hand.

Xin Hongying's face seemed to be finally moved, but he did not intercede. He knelt quietly on the ground: "The son called you father emperor for the last time today. The relationship between father and son is over, and the son also has doubts. Please answer."

The emperor sneered and ignored him at all, preparing to let Qin Wu drag him away.

Xin Hongying said, "Twelve years ago, it was not an accident that the fourth brother fell into the water. Do you want to know what the five-year-old son saw when he was hiding behind a rock?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their colors slightly.

Especially the emperor, his face turned blue: "Say!"

Xin Hongcheng almost died when he fell into the water, and the subsequent death of Empress Xiaoyi was also inseparable from this incident.The emperor checked and checked at that time, but all the side concubines and concubines in the palace were not present, so in the end he could only admit that the mistake was an accident and deal with the palace servants.

After the third prince saw that the emperor was willing to listen to him, he changed the subject again: "After the fourth brother fell into the water, he suffered from shortness of breath for a while, and sometimes he looked out of breath."

"Father was very distressed, so he took him into the palace and asked the imperial physician to make a pulse diagnosis. I heard that there was a pill in the palace that day, which was tributed by the prefect of Guangzhou. It took him 20 years to find the secret medicine, and he formulated two pills, and his son recovered from his illness. The local government sent the other pill to the court."

The third prince's eyes fell on the Supreme Emperor: "The emperor's grandfather is also here. I heard that the father knelt in front of you begging for medicine, and wept twice because of his earnest words. Is this true?"

The Supreme Emperor nodded coldly.

A strange smile appeared on Xin Hongying's face again: "Father, I am the same age as my fourth brother. I have asthma since childhood, why didn't you kneel down and beg for medicine for me?"

He finally showed his emotional turmoil: "The fourth brother is just short of breath after being frightened. The imperial doctor said that he will be cured after two years of careful care. Then why are you wasting such a precious medicine on him! Why don't you give it to me?" ! Why don't you save me!"

Xin Hongcheng recalled that when he first came, he was probably not in harmony with his body, and the original body fell into the water and died, so he often felt short of breath, especially at night when he often woke up in his sleep.

Zhong stayed by his side and wept all night, and the emperor also accompanied him.

After two or three days of tossing like this, the emperor personally carried him into the palace.At that time, the crown prince was still alive, and the emperor was just an ordinary prince. He got the pill after begging the emperor on his knees.

It was from that day that Xin Hongcheng had a sense of belonging to Emperor Xuanhe, the father who appeared halfway through the rebirth.

But at that time, he never thought that this matter would make another person cold-hearted about the word father, so that today's disaster would happen.

Emperor Xuanhe sneered: He is a man of heaven, he can ask for anything and everything, what he gives is kindness, and he can't complain if he doesn't give to others, otherwise it is a sin.

Just like the concubine in the harem, if he resented because of his indifference, it would be a great loss of morality.

Therefore, Xin Hongcheng was in a daze for a moment at the fierce questioning of the third prince, but the emperor was unmoved at all, and said with a sneer, "Why? Naturally, I don't care."

Xin Hongying fell to the ground.

Yes, he already understood why, he just wanted to see a little bit of regret and self-blame on his father's face, and hoped that the emperor could see his son and see his suffering.

But no, not at all.

He suddenly rushed in the direction of the emperor, and Xin Hongcheng subconsciously wanted to stop him.

On the contrary, the emperor blocked Xin Hongcheng with his hands, and looked down at Xin Hongying, the son he had neglected before: "I don't owe you anything, your mother is not my wife, and your status is not as good as that of a son like Cheng'er or Yu'er." The eldest son. What I gave you was the treatment you deserved, and I never owed you half a penny. Originally, as long as you were obedient, I would still give you the throne and promote your mother as a concubine."

Xin Hongying's face was red with blood: "Why do you want me to be obedient! Why do you want me to bow my head and surrender! I don't accept my fate, I don't accept my fate!"

"Why is it that no matter what I do for so many years, my father won't take a second look at me? My handwriting is the best, my father doesn't care, I deliberately made catkins to get sick in front of you, and you don't care! Not only is there no good life to comfort me , on the contrary, she will avoid me even more in the future!"

"Father, it's fine if you don't have a preference, but you obviously have a preference, so why can't it be me! I'm not as good as fourth brother!"

Xin Hongcheng suddenly interjected: "Because I have regained my health, your body is not as good as mine."

Almost made the third prince faint.

The emperor didn't bother to say any more, straightened up, and looked at him like dust: "Qin Wu, drag him out, I don't think he may know anything inside, but he is just trying to speak out his crazy words - from today onwards, he The character Hong in the name will be erased." As for whether the character Xin should be kept or not, it depends on the Queen's situation.

Xin Hongying, no, Xin Ying suddenly laughed, the way he looked at the emperor finally lost that weird look, but a dejected silence: "I was hiding behind a rock that day, and saw the fourth prince's nanny He fed the sedative, and then excused himself to go away to get him fish food. After a while, the fourth prince suddenly closed his eyes and fell down, falling into the water."

The emperor was terrified, and many subtle doubts were finally resolved today: Although his son fell into the water, there were servants around him, and they were quickly rescued.Why did Xin Hongcheng get so sick that he almost died? He thought it was because the child was frightened when he was young.

It turned out that when Xin Hongcheng fell, his mind was not clear, his body had no sense of self-protection, and he naturally choked on water severely.

Xin Ying continued: "I was only five years old at the time, and I told my concubine what happened when I got back, and she covered my mouth and didn't allow me to speak."

"Later, Empress Xiaoyi passed away, and I grew up. One year, I asked about it, and she told me that she had investigated it privately. It was done by Concubine Ming. The nurse was brought by Empress Xiaoyi from the Zhong family. The person who has always been trusted by her has always been bought easily. It can be seen that Queen Zhong is no smarter than the current queen." He said the last sentence, and there was sarcasm in his tone.

In his opinion, these people are idiots.

But those stupid people who were born to be born were favored by the heavens, held high positions, and even got the favor of the emperor.

What an injustice!
