The thing about the East Palace—the purse containing the smallpox scab—appeared in the cloth tiger, a toy given to the emperor by the four princesses.This news, following the closure of the palace and the closing of the palace gates of the Forbidden City, spread and spread rapidly, spreading inside and outside the Forbidden City.

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she was so shocked that she turned over the teacup in her hand, spilling tea stains all over her skirt.She stood up timidly, looked around blankly, and said loudly, "How good is this? How good is this!"

Among the children in the palace, the only one she had eyes for was the emperor's grandson.Including saints and princes.Even if the saint is enthroned, she is unwilling to get close to the saint.When she looked at the saint, she thought of the Emperor Daxing, of being left out in the cold, reprimanded by her aunt, and ridiculed by the imperial concubine...

When the prince was young, she saw the sage holding the prince and coming to greet the empress dowager.The feeling in her heart was that she didn't know that she was the saint's stepmother and the prince's first grandmother.When the prince was babbling and able to run all over the place, she wanted to hug him again, but he ruthlessly refused.After that, she never reached out to hug any dragon son and grandson.

Until the suckling pig.

The baby name the prince and his wife gave their child is really good.When the child was full moon, she saw her great-grandson for the first time, and she was immediately captivated by the little man's thick black hair and quick-moving eyes.That child was really handsome, and he was white and fat just after the first full moon, and he weighed heavily on his hands.He didn't cry when he hugged him, but just turned his eyes to look at people.

The queen mother fell in love with it after hugging it once.

When Qixi was begging for a coincidence, she tested the crown princess and asked the crown princess to bring the emperor's grandson to the Palace of Compassion.When the concubine handed over the grandson of the emperor to her, the queen mother felt that her heart was going to fly.

Now, something like this happened.

The queen mother stood for a while before she came to her senses and had to ask what was going on.

"Go and call the eldest princess's nanny in charge."

After a while, the person who went to call someone came back.

"The empress dowager and the eldest princess' people were all called away by Mo Jiu."

The queen mother was shocked, Mo Jiu called everyone away?

"Where is the eldest princess?"

"Followed."

The queen mother has a pale face and is chanting Buddha in her mouth. Don't be a princess, please!The Eldest Princess lives in the Compassionate Ning Palace, if the sage thinks that she is involved, ouch, the Empress Dowager dare not think about it anymore...

Nanny Zheng is the son of the Zheng family. In the early years, she entered the palace with the Queen Mother as a dowry.When the Empress Dowager found that her niece was too stupid to be employed, she promoted a few maids around the Empress Dowager and raised them up, hoping that after a hundred years, these people would remind the Empress Dowager not to harm the Zheng family.

"Queen, why don't we invite damselflies to pray for the grandson of the emperor."

"Okay, okay, hurry up." The queen mother panicked, someone gave her an idea, and she just did it.

The other Aunt Zheng, who had been with the Empress Dowager, quietly went to the Buddhist hall to offer incense.

"Empress Dowager, what you worried about has really happened. You must protect the Empress Dowager."

Aunt Zheng offered incense, kowtowed to the Buddha, thought and thought, and asked a little maid to help her, and went to Qianqing Palace.

Mo Jiu first asked the four princesses separately, and the four princesses shook their heads, saying that they did not send the cloth tiger.Everyone told what they had given. As for what others gave, because there were few things, they also had impressions, and they were confirmed by each other.

As for the maid who went with the princess, she didn't ask so gently.After beating them with the bamboo plank, several of them fainted from fright on the spot. No matter how interrogated, the cloth tiger seemed to appear out of thin air.

Mo Jiu was very frustrated.He interrogated the people in the East Palace again, Chun Xing who was with the concubine during the day, and the other little maids who followed Chun Xing on duty.

The result is still the same.No one knows when the cloth tiger appeared.

Chun Xing repeated what happened in the morning with Mo Jiu over and over again.Because the emperor's grandson was in the arms of the princess, playing with several princesses, and refused to hug the princess, so the gift brought by the princess was put aside.Later, the grandson was about to go to bed, and the concubine took the grandson back to the bedroom and sent herself to see the princesses away.When I came back, the Crown Princess asked me to send the gift to the storeroom for safekeeping, and met Chen Liangdi who brought the emperor's grandson back from the garden.

Aunt Zheng is very old. She has served the Empress Dowager all her life, and she is two years older than the Empress Dowager.The saint respects this old nun who took good care of him when he was young.He quickly asked Liang Jiu to invite people in.Before Grandma Zheng could salute, she asked Liang Jiu to arrange a seat.

"Saint, there is something that the old woman thought could be brought into the coffin. Now it seems that I still have to talk to the saint."

Aunt Zheng asked the saint to keep only Liang Jiu, and slowly talked about the old things decades ago.

"Emperor Daxing was born very late, and the Empress Dowager only got him after she gave birth to three princesses. When she was pregnant with him, the Grandfather suddenly became obsessed with a man brought back from the palace, who was of the same clan as the Empress Dowager. Yes, a widowed family sister. Then, the holy grandfather left all the women in the harem behind. When the woman is pregnant, she will be a concubine; after giving birth to a son, she will be a concubine. Because The position of the fourth concubine is full. The holy grandfather named Chen concubine, and the position was still above the fourth concubine. If the civil and military opposition of the Manchu dynasty was not opposed, the holy grandfather would have been named the imperial concubine. Not long after, the woman used Everything is compared to the queen. At that time, the empress dowager was worried and afraid of whether the holy ancestor would abolish the queen in the next step, and whether she would make the child born to her elder sister a prince. What was she afraid of? When the child is more than six months old, the holy grandfather will abolish the empress and canonize the crown prince. Fortunately, the civil and military officials in the whole court do not support the holy ancestor to abolish the empress without reason. The empress dowager is forced to have no choice..."

Aunt Zheng covered her face and sobbed.

"The Empress Dowager had someone make a cloth tiger, and with some tricks, sent it to Guanju Palace and delivered it to that child. A child with long teeth will eat anything he catches."

What happened later, Sister Zheng didn't talk about it, but Shengren and Liang Jiu also understood.

"Later, the child bloomed and died. The woman couldn't bear it, and followed her. Before she died, in front of the holy grandfather, facing the empress dowager and all the concubines who went to send her off, she set a bloody sweat Curse: Curse the person who murdered her son, it will be nothing if he has a son, and he will die on the flowers; he will also have a grandson..."

Aunt Zheng's eyes were full of frightened memories.

"The holy grandfather had already guessed that the child's flowering was done by someone. But he was still reluctant to curse his son and grandson. He covered the woman's mouth and stopped her from talking. Then The woman wanted to say it desperately. In front of all the women in the harem, the holy grandfather just smothered her to death. Then, the holy grandfather vomited blood, fell into a coma, and never woke up again. "

This secret history of the palace, the official history records that the holy grandfather passed away due to the death of his beloved son and the death of his beloved concubine Chen, who vomited blood sadly.Except for the queen, everyone else was buried that day.

The sage and Liang Jiu looked at each other in astonishment, how did the sage grandfather go like this? !

"The empress dowager was helped by the old Cheng Engong, who supported the emperor Daxing to ascend the throne. I didn't expect the emperor Daxing," Aunt Zheng wiped away tears, "Emperor Daxing finally went out. The empress dowager I've been guarding against it for half my life, but I still can't guard against it. Fortunately, you all had troubles at that time. The Empress Dowager thought that she would be fine if she didn't say it."

Aunt Zheng took the teacup handed over by Liang Jiu, drank a few sips, and handed it back to Liang Jiu.

"When the prince was blooming, the empress dowager knelt down day and night, only asking for retribution on herself. When the prince survived the flowering, the empress dowager left a message for the old woman—if any time in the palace, the son-in-law When my grandson encounters such a thing, I'm afraid it's inevitable retribution."

The saint was so angry that his hands trembled. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he didn't believe in any curses.If the curse is useful, wouldn't it be enough for so many people who are unwilling to die to curse him to death a hundred and eighty times?

The saint looked at Aunt Zheng, if this person hadn't taken good care of him, he wished he could have kicked her and kicked her to death.retribution?Retribution to my grandson?

Aunt Zheng looked at the saint's expression and added a sentence.

"At the beginning, the cloth tiger was a few princesses who got in when they went to see the child. Before the holy grandpa found out the truth, the child died, and then...he put it down. The Empress Dowager sealed up all those who knew the truth, and the old woman has been with the Empress Dowager since she was five or six years old. Saint, the Empress Dowager finally said that this is the only time in her life..."

Aunt Zheng shook her head and did not continue.

The sage just felt cold and chilled all over his body. His own grandson, such a cute little suckling pig, could it be, could it be...

The prince took a teapot for boiling water and went to the apse where Chen Liangdi lived.Tuji and Tupi are already big, so it is not suitable to use the suckling pig method.He could only feed the two of them space water to drink, and then use the clay stove for making tea to boil the water and let the two children breathe the hot water vapor.Fortunately, the two children were obedient, no matter how uncomfortable they were, they persisted.The prince just needs to be careful not to burn the child.

Chen Liangdi looked at the prince busy with a pale face.

When the prince was about to leave, she knelt down at his feet.

"Prince, I don't know that cloth tiger..."

The prince looked at this woman and really didn't know what to say.

"If you take good care of your child, you may be able to escape this catastrophe. Oh, get up, my son, I have already remembered."

"Father, don't you punish A Niang, okay? If my son doesn't fight with his younger brother, he won't tear up the cloth tiger."

The prince knelt down and hugged the well-behaved apprentice. This kid has grown stronger in the past year. I hope he can pass this test.

"No, if you and your younger brother can drink the medicine obediently, you won't be punished."

The prince looked at the unclear eyes, waiting for his answer.

Between the pain of taking medicine and being punished by his mother, he decided to take medicine.

"Father, my son and younger brother will drink the medicine obediently."

"it is good."

The crown prince hugged Tu Pi again, picked up Chen Liangdi, told her to take care of her, and went to the front hall.
