Princess [rebirth]

Concubine Shu sat on the main seat, looking coldly at Concubine Xian's restless appearance, she never expected that Concubine Xian would be so bold, daring to collude with Xiao's family, steal a piece of grain from the palace, and attempt to Concealing the fact that Yuzhang was broken, it seems that she usually underestimated the concubine Xian, or the concubine Xian was overbearing because she was pregnant with a dragon heir.

She unconsciously turned her gaze to Concubine Xian's lower abdomen, because the moon is still young, so she hasn't shown her pregnancy yet, but as long as she thinks that Concubine Xian has a saint's heir in her belly, she will be filled with hatred.Although Concubine Shu's expression didn't change, her eyes betrayed her. As soon as Concubine Xian looked up, she saw Concubine Shu's eyes seemed to be poisoned, staring straight at her stomach, making her tremble with fear. She was frightened, afraid that Concubine Shu would attack her stomach suddenly.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu came to Zhaoyun Hall today not because of the bad luck of looking for Concubine Xian, so she just looked at Concubine Xian's stomach for a while, then turned her gaze back.

"Sister, you don't need to be so nervous. I didn't come here today to ask questions about the teacher. I just wanted to be sure. If the Gu Bi was really taken by my sister because it looked good, I would not be a person without magnanimity. There is nothing wrong with giving Bi to my younger sister." Concubine Shu said lightly.

"...It's my sister's blessing that my sister is so generous, but my sister has never seen that Gu Bi, please be patient for a few days, and wait for my sister to ask the maid in charge carefully before answering my sister." Holding the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, she insisted that she had never seen Gu Bi before. Only then did she know the real purpose of Concubine Shu's visit, didn't she just want her to admit that she took Gu Bi?If she really admits it, wouldn't it be a trick in Concubine Shu's hands?As long as Concubine Shu can't produce useful evidence, she will naturally deny it to the end.

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, she had expected that Concubine Xian would deny it, but if she was unprepared, how would she dare to come to Zhaoyun Hall to clarify the matter, so she raised her hand and patted it twice, There were two maids escorting a gagged maid into the main hall.

When Concubine Xian saw the maid who was gagged and had her hands tied, the composure on her face finally disappeared, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she almost couldn't help screaming, because this maid, It was clearly the servant girl who went into the storeroom with her that day and sent Gu Bi to the Xiao family in person.

That day after she ordered the palace maid to send Gu Bi to Xiao's house, she wanted to kill the grass and roots. After all, the less people knew about it, the better. Although she believed in the loyalty of the palace maid, only the dead could truly Keeping the secret, so she secretly sent a letter to her home, asking Aye to arrange manpower, and after the maid left Xiao's house, she dealt with them. I didn't expect Aye to say that the matter was over, but now the maid But still alive and well.

"Sister, does this maid look familiar to you?" Concubine Shu saw Concubine Xian's panic, she sat on it in a leisurely manner, and asked slowly.

"..." Concubine Xian was stunned by the sudden change at this time, she couldn't speak, she sat slumped on the chair, her palms and back were covered with cold sweat, no matter how much she denied it now It's useless, it's strange that Concubine Shu dared to come to the door like this today, it turns out that she has already fallen into the hands of the other party.

Concubine Shu didn't care about Concubine Xian's silence, and continued: "Actually, if my younger sister really likes that Gu Bi, why wouldn't I refuse to part with it? My younger sister really doesn't have to break the rules." After speaking, she waved her hand, and a standing The servant girl behind Concubine Shu suddenly took a step forward, and raised her arms that were originally hidden in the sleeves of her large sleeves, and she was actually holding a wooden box in her hands.

When Concubine Xian saw the wooden box, her heart skipped a beat, she saw the maid stretching out her hand to open the wooden box, and what was lying in the box was the piece of Gu Bi that she sent someone to Xiao's mansion?

Concubine Xian was stunned immediately, her eyes widened and she was speechless, but at this moment Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Look at my sister, I really like this Gu Bi so much, I will give it to you today. Gu Bi is a gift to my sister, and I hope she will keep it safe, after all, this is a tribute, if it is broken, where can my sister find the same piece?"

Concubine Xian's face was pale at this time, she couldn't say anything except thanking Concubine Shu for the reward, she couldn't even care about the maid who was kneeling in front of her.Since Concubine Shu was able to change her Gu Bi, she didn't have to bother with the maidservants any more. After all, the other party was superior. Not only did she see through the tricks between her and the Xiao family, but she even got involved secretly, making her laugh at herself. Thought it was done in a concealed manner, it turned out that he had already fallen into the trap of others.

"My sister is pregnant, you should rest more. I won't bother you. Since my sister doesn't know this servant girl, I will take her away with me." Concubine Shu has achieved her goal today, so she She got up and was about to leave, at this time Concubine Xian finally came back to her senses, hearing that she was going to take the servant girl away, she hurriedly said: "This maidservant sister looks familiar, she seems to have committed a crime before, such a The lowly maid will not bother my sister to do it herself."

"Alright, after all, it's from your palace." Concubine Shu didn't make things difficult, and left the person to Concubine Xian in a good manner, and left Zhaoyun Palace in a mighty manner with her maidservant.

After Concubine Shu left, Concubine Xian let out a heavy breath. After she relaxed, she felt that her body was not very comfortable, and there was still a faint pain in her lower abdomen. Please doctor.As for the palace maid who was left behind, Concubine Xian did not untie her, but instead had someone take her down to take care of her.

The imperial doctor came soon, and after treating the concubine Xian, he said that the concubine Xian had moved her fetus, but fortunately it was not serious, and she only needed to drink a few anti-fetal medicines.As soon as Concubine Xian heard that she was pregnant, she immediately lay down on the bed and dared not move around at will. She originally wanted to deal with the maidservant, but she also wanted to take care of her body first, so she temporarily left the maidservant behind. the back of the head. ...

After Concubine Shu left Zhaoyun Hall, she didn't go back directly to Xiangyun Hall, but went to Linhu Hall not far from Xiangyun Hall.Because the Linhu Hall is very close to the lake for viewing, it has never been inhabited, and it is only used for recreation or banquets.

Concubine Shu led the people to Linhu Palace. Although it is spring now, the lakeside is still cold, so there are not many people who would come to Linhu Palace in the past. At this time, the palace is completely silent, only The footsteps of Concubine Shu's group echoed in the empty palace.Concubine Shu came to the back garden of Linhu Hall, there was a pavilion in the garden, Concubine Shu left the maids behind her at the entrance of the garden, and walked forward with only two confidant maids.

When he came to the pavilion, he saw that there was already a person in the pavilion waiting with a maidservant. When that person saw Concubine Shu, he immediately bowed his knees and saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Concubine Shu waved her hand and walked into the pavilion. After Concubine Shu sat down, the man straightened up. Concubine Shu raised her eyes to look at the man, and said lightly: "This Palace ordered you Well, how's it going?"

"Go back to your mother, this matter has been handed over to my uncle. My uncle is the official order of the Shanglin Department and will never arouse suspicion." The person in front of Concubine Shu has been silent for a long time. Su Fengyi.

"Well, that's good. If this is done, I won't forget what I promised you that day." Concubine Shu nodded. With the help of the forest department's order, her plan can be carried out more smoothly.

"Thank you, ma'am." Su Fengyi was overjoyed, and she was extremely glad that she didn't miss the olive branch that Concubine Shu handed over.Not long after she was sent to the Buddhist hall of Taiji Palace, Concubine Shu sent someone to approach her. She had considered it for a long time, but Concubine Shu promised to help her return to His Highness in the future, and she would be promoted to Liangyuan After taking the position, he resolutely joined Concubine Shu's camp.

After all, no matter how bad her situation is, it won't be worse than it is now.

She was originally the nail that Concubine Wan Gui arranged to enter the East Palace, but after her accident, Concubine Wan Guifei ignored her, so she became cold-hearted, and later heard that Concubine Wan Guifei could not even protect herself, so she quickly When he woke up, he could no longer count on Concubine Wan.Just when she was confused and didn't know where her future was, Concubine Shu's person happened to appear in front of her, so in the end Su Fengyi chose to lean on Concubine Shu.

Every time Concubine Shu entrusted her with something, someone would send a message to ask her to meet at Linhu Hall.The location of the Linhu Hall is relatively remote, and few people would approach it on weekdays, especially in the severe cold of winter, when there is no one there, so the Linhu Hall is really a good place to hide people's eyes and ears.

Su Fengyi has done a lot of things for Concubine Shu in the past year. Although she was sent to the Buddhist hall by the empress on the surface, and she was not allowed to go out at will on weekdays, the empress has long been grounded. Now it is Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian They are in charge of palace affairs together, so it couldn't be easier for Concubine Shu to cover for Su Fengyi.Since Su Fengyi leaned towards Concubine Shu, she more or less guessed that the other party might be planning some great event, but Concubine Shu didn't say anything, and she would not ask without interest. Although she had a vague guess in her heart, it was such a rebellious idea , Just thinking about it makes people terrified, does Concubine Shu really have the courage to do it?

She only thought about what Concubine Shu had ordered this time, and the original thought slowly came to mind. Her uncle was an order from the Shanglin Department, and was in charge of vegetable cultivation and ice storage in the palace. She thought The pack of medicine that I gave to my uncle earlier, my palms were covered with cold sweat, and my heart was beating non-stop. ...

******

The "like" that Dou Chun blurted out that day did not change the way he and Zhuo Jingfan got along.

Dou Chun was not discouraged either, and started to cling to others. Except for staying in the Chongren Hall to "rehabilitate his injuries" during the day, he spent the rest of the time by Zhuo Jingfan's side, acting as coquettishly as possible, just wanting to make Zhuo Jing Fan let go of his anger and prejudice against him.

Zhuo Jingfan was dumbfounded by his sloppy face, but to be honest, with Dou Chun's identity, he was able to achieve such a level and put his figure down so low, which really surprised Zhuo Jingfan. Zhuo Jingfan also had to admire him, and he naturally softened his heart towards Dou Chun.

Dou Chun is the best at observing words and expressions. After seeing Zhuo Jingfan's retreat, he hit the snake with the stick and tried to make the relationship with Zhuo Jingfan go further. Fan didn't make it to the end, but the memory of spending time with Zhuo Jingfan that night still made him fond of recollection, and made him even more looking forward to how wonderful the taste would be when he really ate Zhuo Jingfan.

It was also because of such thoughts in his heart that Dou Chun stared at Zhuo Jingfan with darker eyes day by day, Zhuo Jingfan sometimes suspected that he saw green light in Dou Chun's eyes.

Zhuo Jingfan is not a child who doesn't know human affairs, how could he not understand Dou Chun's eyes?He originally wanted to ignore the other party's enthusiasm, but as the other party's eyes became more and more explicit, he even had the illusion that Dou Chun was peeling off his clothes with his eyes.

Whenever he stood in front of Dou Chun and met his eyes, the lust and passion in his eyes made the surrounding air seem to burn. He was locked by this kind of gaze day and night, and the line of defense in his heart was actually It was getting weaker and weaker, and when he realized that he would be happy because of being watched by Dou Chun, he was stunned.

Zhuo Jingfan asked himself, his temperament is not easy to trust others, and it is not easy to be tempted. Thinking of his previous life, he had a lot of wives and concubines, and even the princess had to be decent and respected. The rest of the concubines were all for the family and power behind them So Na, let alone like it.He didn't expect that, after traveling to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would taste the feeling of being tempted for the first time.

Usually, he always feels that these personal relationships between men and women are the most useless. He has seen too many examples of making wrong judgments and decisions based on feelings, so he doesn't believe in feelings even more in his heart. Therefore, after Dou Chun told him that he likes him, He still looked indifferent, he never imagined that under Dou Chun's soft and hard thinking, his originally firm thoughts would be shaken.

Seeing that his hard work has paid off, Dou Chun puts all his energy into staying by Zhuo Jingfan's side. Zhuo Jingfan is annoyed by him, and he often looks disgusted, but he has no choice but to hide that it is not easy to let people know. Perceived inclusion.Only Dou Chun knows how to read people's eyes, and he can't see Zhuo Jingfan's hidden thoughts, but he doesn't dare to get carried away, lest Zhuo Jingfan become angry from embarrassment at that time, that would be bad. ...

Because the crown prince was assassinated and seriously injured, the marriage of the second concubine was postponed. Only in the early morning of this day, there was a memorial to impeach the Xiao family, alleging that the Xiao family deliberately damaged the jade in the dowry. This move was really disrespectful, and that day Miss Xiao was dissatisfied with the delay of the prince's arrival, so she set fire to vent her anger. Such a disrespectful and domineering lady is unbearable to be the prince's successor concubine.

All the ministers present had heard about the flooding of the Xiao Mansion that day. After all, even the people who lived on the other side of the capital could see the thick smoke that was over the Xiao Mansion that day, but they didn't know it. So, it turned out that the fire in Xiao's mansion was not an accident, but the fire set by Mrs. Xiao herself?

Due to the impeachment of Dr. Yu Shi, the ministers were discussing under the ground. At this time, Zhuo Rongyong, who was standing aside, looked very ugly. Let alone the Xiao family is his Yue family. The Xiao family was impeached. Shang Wuguang also said that as soon as something happened in the Xiao family that day, Mrs. Xiao went to Zhuo Mansion in person. The cause of the fire was unknown to others, but he and the old man knew it very well.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, when the prince was assassinated, the Xiao family happened to be in trouble, not to mention that Yuzhang was deliberately smashed into pieces, Zhuo Rongyong and the old man put several things together, and immediately saw the truth After all, it was obvious that someone wanted to prevent the prince from marrying the second concubine, and to prevent the daughter of the Xiao family from entering the palace.

Zhuo Rongyong and the old man quickly tried to cover up Yuzhang's matter. After they persuaded the concubine Xian to help them, they waited for the prince to recover. Just to mention it, please ask Qin Tianjian to calculate an auspicious date suitable for marrying the second concubine.Who knew that they didn't wait for the crown prince to recover, but they waited for the impeachment of the doctor Yushi, and they kept the matter of Yuzhang a secret, and all the subordinates who knew about it had already been killed, so how did the doctor Yushi know about it?

Before Zhuo Rongyong could figure it out, the sage was furious when he learned that Yuzhang had been smashed, and immediately sent people to Xiao's mansion to check on Yuzhang, and at the same time called Zhuo Rongyong to him again. After some scolding, he angrily ended the morning court.

Not long after the sage returned to his study after the morning court, the eunuch who had gone to Xiao's mansion also came back with Yuzhang in his hands.

The inner eunuch presented Yuzhang up, the sage just glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed, he was even more angry than before, the sage immediately summoned Zhongshu Sheren, and directly drafted an order to reprimand the Xiao family, which clarified that Xiao's The family first smashed the jade zhang, and then tried to deceive the saint with the fake jade zhang.

With the announcement of this imperial decree, the entire capital was in an uproar.

Everyone did not expect that Xiao's mansion would be so bold that he dared to break the jade Zhang representing the keepsake, and after making a mistake, he didn't want to confess to the saint quickly, and dared to get a piece of fake jade Zhang in an attempt to get away with it. Isn't Xiao Fu's courage too great?Could it be that they dared to act like this because they were in-laws with the Zhuo Mansion and Zhuo Xiang was behind them to back them up?

Not to mention how everyone criticizes the Xiao family, after Zhuo Rongyong went to court, he hurried to the Xiao family, the Xiao family already knew what happened in the early court, the old man invited Zhuo Rongyong to the study, and was discussing When it comes to how to deal with it next, the imperial decree arrives.

Zhuo Rongyong and the old man looked at each other, neither of them had any joy in their eyes, they hurriedly left the study and came to the front yard, at this time the old lady had already ordered someone to open the main door, and there was an incense table in the main hall, everyone hurriedly knelt down to receive the order However, who would have thought that the imperial decree would have severely reprimanded the Xiao family, and at the end it even clearly stated that Xiao Liuniang could not bear to become a prince and concubine, the Xiao family was stunned, and Xiao Liuniang almost fainted.

After the inner eunuch who delivered the decree read out the imperial edict, everyone in the Xiao family had to kowtow to the ground and respectfully accepted the imperial edict. After the inner eunuch who delivered the decree left, everyone remained silent until a maid exclaimed: " Little lady—" This made everyone wake up, and hurriedly looked over, and saw Xiao Liuniang's face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she was paralyzed in the arms of the servant girl.

Then Mrs. Xiao also shook her figure, so frightened that Mrs. Xiao immediately stepped forward to support the old lady, and kept ordering, "Quick! Come and help me, and the others will help the little lady back to the house, and then invite the husband to come over." " While she was busy helping the old lady, she also had to worry about her daughter's situation, so she was busy all over the place, but fortunately Xiao Dalang was standing beside him, and immediately reached out to help the old lady.

"I'm fine, you all go and see Eldest Sister." The old lady took a breath, waved her hands, her face showed a trace of fatigue, and she instantly seemed to be ten years older, while Xiao Xiao, who was silent beside her, The old man, his originally straight back has become bent, and his whole body is full of depression.

Zhuo Rongyong stood in the corner with a serious face. He walked to the side of the old man, stretched out his hand to support him, and led him back to the study slowly.After entering the study, he opened his mouth and said softly: "Father-in-law, at that time Concubine Xian clearly sent a similar piece of grain biscuit, and everyone who knew about it in the mansion took care of it, logically speaking, this matter should be concealed. "

"I'm afraid that someone deliberately made it difficult for us." Old Master Xiao snorted coldly, and said, Zhuo Rongyong nodded, his face still solemn, "Today, the elder sister has been reprimanded by the saint, it seems that entering the palace to become the successor The concubine is hopeless, so we have to make plans as soon as possible."

"... Plans? What other plans does the Xiao family have? This time, we have stumbled, and we don't know when the saint's anger will disappear. Before the saint's anger disappears, the Xiao family had better not hang around in front of the saint, and neither should you. Thinking of sending your second sister to the palace, don't forget, your wife is also a daughter of the Xiao family." The old man glanced at Zhuo Rongyong, and he could feel his thoughts clearly, at this moment, he didn't care. Politely clicked it out.

Zhuo Rongyong was exposed by the old master, he was a little embarrassed, but he calmed down and said: "Father-in-law, don't blame the son-in-law for speaking directly, now there is no possibility of a prince and concubine in the Xiao family, so it's better to find a way." Sending a daughter of the Zhuo family into the palace, or restoring my son's status as a concubine, is worse than a sage marrying someone else."

"You want to restore the Crown Princess? The reason why the Crown Princess was abolished was because she couldn't give birth to an heir for the Crown Prince. Could it be possible now?" The old man said sarcastically, curling the corners of his lips.

"..." Zhuo Rongyong was choked by the old master's words, and he couldn't speak immediately. In his heart, he naturally wanted to send the second sister to the palace, but if the saint was angry with the Xiao family, Even if they don't like the Zhuo family, the only way they can go is Zhuo Jingfan in the palace.

Although Zhuo Jingfan has been abolished, the saint did not expel him from the palace, and let him stay in the east palace. Regardless of the real intention of the saint, at least Zhuo Jingfan's current situation is worse than that of Xiao Liuniang or the second sister. Well done.Xiao Liuniang has already been reprimanded by decree, not to mention that she cannot enter the palace to become the crown prince's successor concubine, but in the future, even relatives, she may not find any good family. From a wealthy family, who would want to marry a woman with bad conduct as a wife?

As for the second sister, although she has always wanted to enter the palace, but because the Zhuo family has sent a gentleman in, and the king of Qin and the king of Chu are using him as a raft as a reason for rebellion, at this juncture, he himself He didn't dare to make any big moves, so after much deliberation, the restoration of the Crown Princess became a possibility at the moment. ...

The fact that Xiao's residence was reprimanded by the saint spread immediately, and the concubines in the palace got the news very quickly.When the news spread to Zhaoyun Palace, Concubine Xian was drinking medicine, when she heard the report from her personal maid, she was startled and dropped the bowl.

"What did you say? You were scolded?" Concubine Xian didn't care about the spilled medicine, she grabbed the handmaid's arm and asked repeatedly.The maidservant nodded, and said in a low voice: "Go back to your mother, this maidservant has inquired very clearly that the Xiao family has indeed been reprimanded, and the sage has spoken, Miss Xiao has misbehavior, and is unbearable to become a prince's successor concubine."

Concubine Xian's heart trembled when she heard the words, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, "Wan Qing, it's all Concubine Shu's fault, I clearly wanted to send that Gu Bi to Xiao's residence, but Concubine Shu stopped it." Come down, I don't know what Concubine Shu sent to the Xiao Mansion, which made the saint so angry."

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Shu sent Gu Bi back, you should treat it as nothing, and the left and right Xiao residences dare not tell you, so you don't care about anything, just care for your baby." Wan Qing Softly persuading Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian felt reasonable, sighed, and said in a low voice: "That's exactly what it should be. It's not that I don't want to help the Xiao family, but..." Concubine Xian didn't say the rest, Wan Qing didn't ask either, after serving Concubine Xian to rest, she quietly exited the bedroom.

Wan Qing ordered the other maidservants to watch carefully, while she went to the small kitchen with the overturned medicine bowl, preparing to make another medicine for Concubine Xian, but she was walking, and before reaching the small kitchen, Turning his footsteps, he turned to a remote side door on the west side of Zhaoyun Hall.

There was already a small eunuch waiting at the side door, Wan Qing walked over quickly, handed the medicine bowl in her hand to the little eunuch, and took out a small square folded note from her sleeve, They handed it to the little inner supervisor, who pocketed the medicine bowl and the note in his sleeve, and left Zhaoyun Hall with his head down.

After leaving Zhaoyun Palace, the little inner supervisor hurriedly walked to the Imperial Medical Office with his head down, handed the medicine bowl to the medicine boy next to Imperial Physician Yan, and then hurried to the East Palace again.

At this moment in the East Palace, Dou Chun was leaning on the soft couch, listening to You Blessed's report about the morning court.Because his leg injury has not healed, he has been recuperating in the Eastern Palace these days, and the sage also specially exempted him from morning court and homework.The note in the hands of the little inner supervisor soon reached Dou Chun's hands. After reading it, Dou Chun put the note next to the candle and burned it. The supervisor passed the message to Wan Qing.

In the evening, Wan Qing received a message from the eunuch, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she nodded immediately, expressing that she would definitely follow His Highness's orders.After talking with the little eunuch, Wan Qing returned to the dormitory, and Concubine Xian just got up, she hurried forward to serve, while muttering in her heart, His Highness actually valued the heir in Concubine Xian's womb so much that he even deliberately made people Send a message to tell yourself that you must keep the child in Concubine Xian's belly.
