Reborn my man
Chapter 14: Let go of the small and protect the big.
A good birthday party ended when the second prince Xiao Weijue had an accident. After diagnosis and treatment at the imperial hospital, the second prince was actually poisoned, and the source of the poison was all kinds of delicacies and snacks presented by the prince Xiao Weikun.
When Xiao Weikun heard the imperial physician's words, he was dumbfounded, and cold sweat instantly covered his handsome face.Emperor Wu was furious and ordered someone to help Concubine Sun Guifei who was crying and fainted on the ground, and immediately escorted the prince and everyone back to the East Palace, and ordered the clan's mansion to investigate the matter.
All the spearheads were pointed at the prince. He said it himself at the banquet. He asked Concubine Wu to cook the food poisoned by the second prince. The government has not yet given a statement.
Concubine Sun Gui couldn't wait any longer. Her only son was poisoned, which made her furious. She cried all day before Emperor Wu's watch and begged for an explanation. die.And side concubine Wu, of course, is of one heart and one mind with the prince.
The temperature in the East Palace dropped rapidly. Although the crime of murdering the second prince has not yet been confirmed, it is enough to stop the dignitaries who were rushing to curry favor with each other, except Wei Wang Xiao Weiche who came to visit his imprisoned cousin and two Nephew and niece, it can be said that the family is depressed.
Xiao Weikun was really wronged, he never thought of killing his stupid younger brother who just turned five years old, and he never ordered Concubine Wu to put some crane crest red in his food, now that he has suffered such great injustice, he The whole person was stunned, only to feel that the dark clouds were overwhelming, and everything was over.
But no matter how he explained it to his father, the facts are the facts. The second prince is still unconscious in the palace, Sun Guifei cursed through gnashing teeth, and Empress Zhou sighed gloomyly. It was as if he wanted to determine that these poisons belonged to him, the crown prince.
Xiao Weikun originally thought that his future was getting brighter day by day, but now it seems that it has been covered with a thick layer of ash, a layer of ash that can send him to the eighteenth level of hell in an instant.
In the pavilion of Qingyun Temple, Wen Zimu brought a plate of Xiao Qiansheng's favorite apples into the hall from the outside. He saw the young boy sitting alone on the railing, sighed, walked over, and gently picked up a cloak to cover him. superior.
"Come on, it's windy here, don't stay too long."
Xiao Qiansheng turned back holding the scroll, saw that it was a young man, shook his head lightly and chuckled, "It's nothing, I'm not so delicate." Looking down at the plate he put on the stone table, the corner of his mouth curled up and asked sarcastically: "What's wrong with you?" Was it sent to the East Palace just now?"
Wen Zimu was taken aback, nodded and said cautiously: "Yes, because the weather this year is not very good, so the apples presented as tribute this year are probably like this, wrinkled and not good-looking."
"Why is the weather bad? I think it's because the feng shui of the East Palace is not good these days. I don't know how those dog slaves in the House of Internal Affairs are stalking people?" Be respectful, such a rotten and ugly fruit dares to be sent into the Eastern Palace, it is simply abominable!
"Just do it," Wen Zimu smiled helplessly, and walked to the side of the stern-eyed young boy with great pity, knowing how much he had suffered recently because of the second prince's poisoning.Gently putting his hands on the young boy's thin shoulders, he said warmly, "No matter what, I will always be by your side."
Xiao Qiansheng raised his eyes in a daze when he heard the words, and saw that the young man in front of him was still wearing the black clothes of an attendant, his facial features were handsome and unrestrained, exuding a sincere and warm soft light amidst his heroic vigor.
This soft light is like a warm sun in winter, making him feel that no matter how disappointed and frightened his life is, as long as he is by his side, he feels that there is still hope ahead.
Xiao Qiansheng's angry heart slowly calmed down, he raised his lips and showed a handsome smile, lowered his head and put down the scroll in his hand, took out an apple from the fruit plate, and slowly peeled it.
"Go ahead, let me do it." Wen Zimu was afraid that he would hurt his hand, so he hurriedly wanted to help him.
"I'll do it myself." Xiao Qiansheng shook his head, took Wen Zimu's extended hand, placed it on his lips and kissed him softly, then gave him a sideways glance with a smile, and dealt with the hand in his hand. apple.
Wen Zimu felt the warm touch from his hand, and his body shook violently. Then he saw the young boy's bright red lips slightly raised, moist and moist as if he was trying to charm someone, and his drooping face was so soft. Exquisite and beautiful.
As if possessed by a demon, the beating in his heart was like a fire, and the nerves in Wen Zimu's brain were suddenly disconnected, so he leaned forward in such a daze, and kissed Xiao Qiansheng's fair face with a bang.The tense and jerky movements are like a fool who is just in love.
This was the first time he kissed him actively, uncontrollably, inexplicably.
Xiao Qiansheng raised his eyes abruptly, and saw clearly that the handsome young man in front of him was flushed with shame after regaining consciousness, and couldn't help laughing, his clear and sharp eyes flashed with joy and surprise.
"What the hell, I, I, I, I..." Wen Zimu's tongue seemed to be curled up, and he really wanted to slap himself so hard.
How could he secretly kiss Qiangan in broad daylight, if Gangan is angry, if Gangan knows the dirty thoughts in his heart...
"You, Xiao Qiansheng, squinted your phoenix eyes and smiled softly. Next to the nervous young man who suddenly stood up from the stone chair, you suddenly stretched out your arms to wrap his arms around his neck. Standing on tiptoes, you pressed your lips tightly together towards the young man. Go up and kiss.
He knew that there was no one around the pavilion.
"Do...do it!" Wen Zimu suddenly opened his eyes wide, watching the young boy's fair face come up to him, kissed him twice, then backed away, and then there was a peeled apple Pass it up: "Mumu come, I'll eat it for you."
Wen Zimu: "..." His face was red like a fire.
When night fell, the candlelight in the Prince's main hall was brightly lit. The temperature of the night was a bit low, and the autumn night was quiet. The sky was not decorated with stars, and the moon was more than half covered by dark clouds.
Xiao Weikun sat dejectedly beside the log Zhuo, with a table of good wine and food on the table, beside him sat Concubine Qian in a red dress.
"Your Highness, don't drink any more, be careful that you will get drunk." Concubine Qian didn't want to watch the prince drink too much, so she stretched out her hand and took off the wine glass he was holding, and then gently put some vegetables into his bowl , sweetly said: "You should eat more food, you see you are thin these days."
"How can I still eat it, it's already like this..." Xiao Weikun shook his head mockingly, thinking of the approval that Emperor Wu of the palace would come down at any time, his heart turned cold. "Tell me, how do you think the father will deal with this matter? I didn't poison you, I really didn't poison you!"
A smug smile flashed across Concubine Qian's willow-leaf eyebrows, and she frowned in embarrassment as she looked at the woman's figure passing by the door, "Your Highness, in fact, this incident happened very suddenly, who would have thought that it happened just at your doorstep?" Something happened in the congratulatory gift presented by Concubine Wu. The concubine believes you are innocent, but that doesn't mean the emperor and the imperial concubine believe it. If there is no one in charge of this matter, it is related to the second prince's wealth and life. How can the emperor and the imperial concubine let this go?"
Xiao Weikun was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in a murmur, "What do you mean?"
"Someone always inflicts poison, and it's impossible for it to fall from the sky for no reason." Concubine Qian said cautiously, "Think about it again, Your Highness, you asked Concubine Wu to help prepare those things. Even Concubine Wu said that she set it up by herself, if His Highness is really wronged, then there must be someone responsible for it. Sister Wu, there must be some doubts, right?"
"No, it's impossible! Rong'er won't do such vicious things!" Xiao Weikun was startled, and shouted loudly: "Rong'er is gentle and virtuous, I am sure she is not such a cruel and vicious woman! I just asked her, she is the same as Bengong, she doesn't know what's going on!"
Concubine Qian saw the crown prince's great affirmation and protection of Concubine Wu, her heart turned cold, and hatred took over her heart. "Your Highness, you are confused. The concubine did not mean to slander Sister Wu. What the concubine meant was that in the hearts of the emperor and the imperial concubine, it is already a matter of fact that these poisons came from the East Palace. It's better to overthrow it..."
"Why not?" Xiao Weikun opened his handsome eyes wide.
"It's better to use Sister Wu alone to save the entire East Palace from danger..."
"What did you say!?" Xiao Weikun stood up in astonishment, clenched his fists, his handsome face was full of shock: "No, no, how can this be, Rong'er is innocent, she shouldn't be wronged like this !"
However, the crown prince also had a slight hesitation in his heart: yes, what Qian Concubine said makes sense, if at this time Rong'er took the initiative to confess to his father and took all the responsibility, then even he and Donggong would be affected, It won't be too much of an impact.
Moreover, these things were originally set up by Rong'er, and now that something went wrong, she should take full responsibility for the entire East Palace.And since these words were spoken by Concubine Qian, Concubine Sun must have some confidence...
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you can protect your grandeur by giving up your youth." Seeing the struggle in Xiao Weikun's eyes, Concubine Qian smirked complacently, secretly thinking that the woman really knew the prince's weakness very well.
She tentatively stretched out her hand, gently covering Xiao Weikun's chest and slowly stroking, her red lips opened and closed seductively.
"Your Highness, you are the future emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty. Are you going to be doomed because of the matter of the second prince? If you send someone else to take the blame, the emperor and the imperial concubine will never believe it, but at this time, if Sister Wu takes the initiative Plead guilty, so that the two grandsons of the emperor can sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, so I believe that even the emperor and the imperial concubine have nothing to say."
Xiao Weikun's lips trembled a little: "Then... what will happen to Rong'er then?"
Concubine Qian didn't speak, she just put her soft and seductive body gently into the prince's broad chest, Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows arrogantly, but she was saying in her heart, no matter what will happen to her Wu family, as long as she is gone, she can live in the world. The East Palace alone will do.
And she believed that His Royal Highness, who was able to ask this question, had already approved her idea of self-help in his heart.Still that woman was right, no matter how deep the feelings are, in the eyes of the prince who cares more about life than anything else, it is nothing in the end.
In the magnificent palace, the lights shrouded in palace lanterns illuminated every corner of the palace, all the maids and eunuchs were dismissed outside the palace, and the ambiguous figures of the prince and side concubine embracing were reflected on the screen window.
This is the side concubine, but she is no longer the gentle and gentle woman who was favored in the East Palace before.
In the middle of the night that day, the prince suddenly summoned Princess Zheng into the palace for a small chat. After about half a stick of incense, Princess Zheng came out of the main hall of the prince with a serious heart, and went straight to Concubine Wu and the two ladies with her two personal maids. Go to Qingyun Palace, where the emperor's grandson lives.
"Slaves and maidservants pay their respects to the Crown Princess Concubine." The maids in the concubine hall of Qingyun Palace bowed their knees and bowed their heads to greet Mrs. Zheng when they saw Mrs. Zheng coming.Mrs. Zheng raised her eyes, frowned and asked, "Where's your mother?"
The leading lady-in-waiting looked distressed, and said falteringly: "Your Majesty, she...she is in the inner room."
He actually heard that he was coming, but he didn't come to pay his respects to his concubine.Mrs. Zheng felt quite surprised, thinking of her purpose of coming here tonight, her delicate face darkened a little, she waved her hands and said softly: "Forget it, you all retreat, no one is allowed to come in without my order. "
"Yes!" The maids were dismissed in an orderly manner.
In the inner room, Princess Zheng immediately saw the warm and charming woman who was sitting by the light and embroidering a sachet.
Taking a closer look, Zheng couldn't help but secretly sighed, no wonder Xiao Qiansheng and Xiao Yuesheng both had good faces, just looking at their biological mother Wu's beautiful face, it should be like her mother.Beautiful and virtuous, with a gentle nature, no wonder the crown prince has loved her so much for many years.
Zheng tried to open her lips, and originally wanted to call the girl "sister" as she did in the past when she was intimate, but she couldn't force a smile on her face, but the girl turned around at this moment, and asked softly: "My lady is here. "
"Sister." Zheng smiled stiffly, and walked over slowly to have a look, only to see that what Wu was embroidering in her hand was a sachet with two mandarin ducks playing in the water. One piece of her hair turned out to be ink-like hair. "This is?"
Mrs. Wu got up and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Mrs. Zheng, and when she saw her questioning, she said with a mournful smile: "The other day, I saw my mother embroidered an inner coat for His Highness, and the concubine's hands are not as clumsy as my mother's, so these few days I've just embroidered a coat. I am thinking of embroidering a sachet for His Highness, which contains silk juniper flowers and the hair of my concubine."
Zheng's expression was very strange for a moment.
"In the previous dynasty, Concubine Yang Guifei angered Ming Emperor and fell out of favor. She just embroidered a sachet containing hair to exchange for Ming Emperor's nostalgia. The concubine's clumsy mind is here to make a fool of herself, which makes the empress laugh." Wu Shi Staring at the sachet of mandarin ducks playing in water in his palm, he suddenly said in such a soft voice.
Zheng's heart seemed to be pinched by someone, and it couldn't stop beating rapidly. With a pale face, she said, "Sister Wu, you...why are you bothering?"
"Your Majesty, you have understood people a long time ago. Why do you still come to ask my concubine today?" Concubine Wu suddenly curled her lips into a smile, but the smile was too poignant and sad, "Those congratulatory gifts were indeed prepared by my concubine , but those gift boxes, if the concubine remembers correctly, the empress said that she couldn't bear to see the concubine too tired, so she helped the concubine prepare it herself? If someone wants to put some dirty things in during this time, the concubine No matter how careful you are, it is naturally impossible to guard against."
"You are talking nonsense!" Zheng's face turned pale because of Concubine Wu's words, the hand holding the teacup trembled suddenly, the teacup was just overturned, and it slammed on the table with a slamming sound. "Ben Gong, I have always treated you like a sister, so how could you do such a despicable and shameless thing behind your back!"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Concubine Wu shook her head in a daze, looked at Princess Zheng with a sad expression, and said, "Since Your Majesty has chosen to walk with Concubine Qian, the concubine has nothing to say. , this concubine admires your mother's intelligence, and she was able to calculate that she would get rid of me through His Highness personally."
"You..." It was only now that Princess Zheng knew what a smart woman Wu was, and she had guessed all the tricks and thoughts behind her and Qian Concubine's back.
Concubine Zheng stared blankly at the woman whose tears were already rolling down her cheeks. They entered the East Palace together to serve the prince, and they had been in a peaceful and friendly relationship for many years. This was the first time she saw her cry.
"Sister, I, I..." She is also a concubine of the East Palace. The concubine fell out of favor because she gave birth to two girls, how could she be willing!How willing!
So when Concubine Qian wanted to find her for the sake of winning favor, although she hesitated, but when she heard that it was King Wei's birthday, the Crown Prince only brought Concubine Wu and her two sons there, but did not bring her along. When this concubine was with her two daughters, she never hesitated again.
Concubine Qian is right. Women, the women in the imperial palace, and the women in the eastern palace, everyone has to live for themselves. If they don't take the initiative to fight for favor, let alone her, even her two children Yanyan and Ranran There is no status at all.
So by taking advantage of Concubine Wu's trust and closeness to her over the years, she found an opportunity to frame her. Even though she only provided Concubine Qian with a time to poison her, she also helped to provide it, right?She knows the prince Xiao Weikun better than anyone else, how much he can only share wealth and honor, but not share adversity!
Surviving and loving the concubine, he will definitely choose to survive!Now, she did win the bet, so there's no need to hide it anymore, right?Even if Concubine Wu knew that she and Concubine Qian were behind the scenes, Emperor Wu and Concubine Sun would only regard her as slander and sophistry.
Mrs. Zheng bravely swept away the weakness in her heart, and sneered with a hard heart: "Yes, I am plotting against you. It is I who deceived your trust and tampered with those gift boxes. Concubine Qian put those crane tops with her own hands. The red is painted on the inside of the gift box, and once the lid is closed, the poison of Crane's Crown Red will stick to the food, and you, you, the side concubine Wu who prepared it all by herself, are of course to blame!"
"I've figured it out. Thank you for your guidance." Concubine Wu laughed bitterly at herself. Sure enough, her guess was correct. She spent more than ten years living in the East Palace in vain, but in the end she still fell into the hands of others.And this bystander turned out to be the crown princess who had always been harmonious with all the concubines and had no desires or disputes!
"Wu Rong'er, you asked for this!" Zheng's eyes were already red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even think about confessing me and Concubine Qian at this time, our family background is not your little one. The civil servant's daughter can be provoked, if you can still think of your two sons, and want the prince to live in the East Palace in peace, then it's best..."
"You don't need to waste your time talking." Concubine Wu interrupted Zheng's words coldly, suddenly raised her phoenix eyes, grabbed Zheng's hand, squeezed it tightly, and said fiercely: "My godfather!" He Yueer, if the empress dares to touch them, I swear, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"
"You..." I have never seen Concubine Wu look so ruthless, but Princess Zheng was frightened, a little cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "Let go of me!"
Wu Rong'er was disappointed in her heart, and ruthlessly shook Zheng Shi's hand away. With great force, she directly threw Zheng Shi away from the table, and her body softened and she took several steps back.This is really a great humiliation, she blushed and scolded angrily: "Wu side concubine, you are bold!"
"He is already a dying person, what else does the concubine dare to be bold?" Wu Rong'er stared into the eyes of Princess Zheng, and said coldly: "The concubine has already heard what your highness and concubine Qian said. , I thought His Highness would come directly to give orders to the concubine tonight, but I didn’t expect His Highness to take care of the concubine’s love for him for the past ten years. Your Majesty doesn’t need to say more, please go and reply to His Highness, since Rong’er is the Eastern Palace If His Highness really wants to use Rong Er's life in exchange for the safety of the East Palace, Rong Er has no intention of dismissing him, so just obey."
Mrs. Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and murmured: "You actually agreed like that?"
"Heh..." Wu Rong'er sneered, smiled, and tears came out again, feeling bitter like eating a pot of underripe lotus seeds at the same time.She shouldn't have fantasies, right?Why do you have to be so stupid, always thinking that that person won't do this step ruthlessly, it's ridiculous, really ridiculous.
"Your Majesty, please go back. Tomorrow, the concubine will make His Royal Highness feel at ease."
Princess Zheng stared in shock at the resolute woman under the lamplight, seeing her beautiful face with a stubborn and sad smile, still calmly embroidering the sachet in her hand in the candlelight, on the sachet was the last A mandarin duck is about to be embroidered.
They should have been extremely moved and happy, and all their plans were implemented in their designs, but for some reason, Princess Zheng's heart twitched violently at this moment, and the misty mist covered her eye sockets sorely, and she hurriedly covered her eyes. Mouth, turned and left.
Xiao Qiansheng's angry and cold handsome face suddenly appeared beside the brocade curtain outside the inner room, fixedly staring at the back of Princess Zheng leaving in a hurry, his fists were clenched and rattled.He walked to the side of Concubine Mu step by step, and called out tremblingly: "Concubine Mu..."
Wu Rong'er looked up at her son whom she loved deeply, her face was full of tears.
When Xiao Weikun heard the imperial physician's words, he was dumbfounded, and cold sweat instantly covered his handsome face.Emperor Wu was furious and ordered someone to help Concubine Sun Guifei who was crying and fainted on the ground, and immediately escorted the prince and everyone back to the East Palace, and ordered the clan's mansion to investigate the matter.
All the spearheads were pointed at the prince. He said it himself at the banquet. He asked Concubine Wu to cook the food poisoned by the second prince. The government has not yet given a statement.
Concubine Sun Gui couldn't wait any longer. Her only son was poisoned, which made her furious. She cried all day before Emperor Wu's watch and begged for an explanation. die.And side concubine Wu, of course, is of one heart and one mind with the prince.
The temperature in the East Palace dropped rapidly. Although the crime of murdering the second prince has not yet been confirmed, it is enough to stop the dignitaries who were rushing to curry favor with each other, except Wei Wang Xiao Weiche who came to visit his imprisoned cousin and two Nephew and niece, it can be said that the family is depressed.
Xiao Weikun was really wronged, he never thought of killing his stupid younger brother who just turned five years old, and he never ordered Concubine Wu to put some crane crest red in his food, now that he has suffered such great injustice, he The whole person was stunned, only to feel that the dark clouds were overwhelming, and everything was over.
But no matter how he explained it to his father, the facts are the facts. The second prince is still unconscious in the palace, Sun Guifei cursed through gnashing teeth, and Empress Zhou sighed gloomyly. It was as if he wanted to determine that these poisons belonged to him, the crown prince.
Xiao Weikun originally thought that his future was getting brighter day by day, but now it seems that it has been covered with a thick layer of ash, a layer of ash that can send him to the eighteenth level of hell in an instant.
In the pavilion of Qingyun Temple, Wen Zimu brought a plate of Xiao Qiansheng's favorite apples into the hall from the outside. He saw the young boy sitting alone on the railing, sighed, walked over, and gently picked up a cloak to cover him. superior.
"Come on, it's windy here, don't stay too long."
Xiao Qiansheng turned back holding the scroll, saw that it was a young man, shook his head lightly and chuckled, "It's nothing, I'm not so delicate." Looking down at the plate he put on the stone table, the corner of his mouth curled up and asked sarcastically: "What's wrong with you?" Was it sent to the East Palace just now?"
Wen Zimu was taken aback, nodded and said cautiously: "Yes, because the weather this year is not very good, so the apples presented as tribute this year are probably like this, wrinkled and not good-looking."
"Why is the weather bad? I think it's because the feng shui of the East Palace is not good these days. I don't know how those dog slaves in the House of Internal Affairs are stalking people?" Be respectful, such a rotten and ugly fruit dares to be sent into the Eastern Palace, it is simply abominable!
"Just do it," Wen Zimu smiled helplessly, and walked to the side of the stern-eyed young boy with great pity, knowing how much he had suffered recently because of the second prince's poisoning.Gently putting his hands on the young boy's thin shoulders, he said warmly, "No matter what, I will always be by your side."

"Go ahead, let me do it." Wen Zimu was afraid that he would hurt his hand, so he hurriedly wanted to help him.
"I'll do it myself." Xiao Qiansheng shook his head, took Wen Zimu's extended hand, placed it on his lips and kissed him softly, then gave him a sideways glance with a smile, and dealt with the hand in his hand. apple.

Wen Zimu: "..." His face was red like a fire.

She tentatively stretched out her hand, gently covering Xiao Weikun's chest and slowly stroking, her red lips opened and closed seductively.
"Your Highness, you are the future emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty. Are you going to be doomed because of the matter of the second prince? If you send someone else to take the blame, the emperor and the imperial concubine will never believe it, but at this time, if Sister Wu takes the initiative Plead guilty, so that the two grandsons of the emperor can sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, so I believe that even the emperor and the imperial concubine have nothing to say."
Xiao Weikun's lips trembled a little: "Then... what will happen to Rong'er then?"
Concubine Qian didn't speak, she just put her soft and seductive body gently into the prince's broad chest, Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows arrogantly, but she was saying in her heart, no matter what will happen to her Wu family, as long as she is gone, she can live in the world. The East Palace alone will do.
And she believed that His Royal Highness, who was able to ask this question, had already approved her idea of self-help in his heart.Still that woman was right, no matter how deep the feelings are, in the eyes of the prince who cares more about life than anything else, it is nothing in the end.
In the magnificent palace, the lights shrouded in palace lanterns illuminated every corner of the palace, all the maids and eunuchs were dismissed outside the palace, and the ambiguous figures of the prince and side concubine embracing were reflected on the screen window.
This is the side concubine, but she is no longer the gentle and gentle woman who was favored in the East Palace before.
In the middle of the night that day, the prince suddenly summoned Princess Zheng into the palace for a small chat. After about half a stick of incense, Princess Zheng came out of the main hall of the prince with a serious heart, and went straight to Concubine Wu and the two ladies with her two personal maids. Go to Qingyun Palace, where the emperor's grandson lives.
"Slaves and maidservants pay their respects to the Crown Princess Concubine." The maids in the concubine hall of Qingyun Palace bowed their knees and bowed their heads to greet Mrs. Zheng when they saw Mrs. Zheng coming.Mrs. Zheng raised her eyes, frowned and asked, "Where's your mother?"
The leading lady-in-waiting looked distressed, and said falteringly: "Your Majesty, she...she is in the inner room."
He actually heard that he was coming, but he didn't come to pay his respects to his concubine.Mrs. Zheng felt quite surprised, thinking of her purpose of coming here tonight, her delicate face darkened a little, she waved her hands and said softly: "Forget it, you all retreat, no one is allowed to come in without my order. "
"Yes!" The maids were dismissed in an orderly manner.
In the inner room, Princess Zheng immediately saw the warm and charming woman who was sitting by the light and embroidering a sachet.
Taking a closer look, Zheng couldn't help but secretly sighed, no wonder Xiao Qiansheng and Xiao Yuesheng both had good faces, just looking at their biological mother Wu's beautiful face, it should be like her mother.Beautiful and virtuous, with a gentle nature, no wonder the crown prince has loved her so much for many years.
Zheng tried to open her lips, and originally wanted to call the girl "sister" as she did in the past when she was intimate, but she couldn't force a smile on her face, but the girl turned around at this moment, and asked softly: "My lady is here. "
"Sister." Zheng smiled stiffly, and walked over slowly to have a look, only to see that what Wu was embroidering in her hand was a sachet with two mandarin ducks playing in the water. One piece of her hair turned out to be ink-like hair. "This is?"
Mrs. Wu got up and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Mrs. Zheng, and when she saw her questioning, she said with a mournful smile: "The other day, I saw my mother embroidered an inner coat for His Highness, and the concubine's hands are not as clumsy as my mother's, so these few days I've just embroidered a coat. I am thinking of embroidering a sachet for His Highness, which contains silk juniper flowers and the hair of my concubine."
Zheng's expression was very strange for a moment.
"In the previous dynasty, Concubine Yang Guifei angered Ming Emperor and fell out of favor. She just embroidered a sachet containing hair to exchange for Ming Emperor's nostalgia. The concubine's clumsy mind is here to make a fool of herself, which makes the empress laugh." Wu Shi Staring at the sachet of mandarin ducks playing in water in his palm, he suddenly said in such a soft voice.
Zheng's heart seemed to be pinched by someone, and it couldn't stop beating rapidly. With a pale face, she said, "Sister Wu, you...why are you bothering?"
"Your Majesty, you have understood people a long time ago. Why do you still come to ask my concubine today?" Concubine Wu suddenly curled her lips into a smile, but the smile was too poignant and sad, "Those congratulatory gifts were indeed prepared by my concubine , but those gift boxes, if the concubine remembers correctly, the empress said that she couldn't bear to see the concubine too tired, so she helped the concubine prepare it herself? If someone wants to put some dirty things in during this time, the concubine No matter how careful you are, it is naturally impossible to guard against."
"You are talking nonsense!" Zheng's face turned pale because of Concubine Wu's words, the hand holding the teacup trembled suddenly, the teacup was just overturned, and it slammed on the table with a slamming sound. "Ben Gong, I have always treated you like a sister, so how could you do such a despicable and shameless thing behind your back!"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Concubine Wu shook her head in a daze, looked at Princess Zheng with a sad expression, and said, "Since Your Majesty has chosen to walk with Concubine Qian, the concubine has nothing to say. , this concubine admires your mother's intelligence, and she was able to calculate that she would get rid of me through His Highness personally."
"You..." It was only now that Princess Zheng knew what a smart woman Wu was, and she had guessed all the tricks and thoughts behind her and Qian Concubine's back.
Concubine Zheng stared blankly at the woman whose tears were already rolling down her cheeks. They entered the East Palace together to serve the prince, and they had been in a peaceful and friendly relationship for many years. This was the first time she saw her cry.
"Sister, I, I..." She is also a concubine of the East Palace. The concubine fell out of favor because she gave birth to two girls, how could she be willing!How willing!
So when Concubine Qian wanted to find her for the sake of winning favor, although she hesitated, but when she heard that it was King Wei's birthday, the Crown Prince only brought Concubine Wu and her two sons there, but did not bring her along. When this concubine was with her two daughters, she never hesitated again.
Concubine Qian is right. Women, the women in the imperial palace, and the women in the eastern palace, everyone has to live for themselves. If they don't take the initiative to fight for favor, let alone her, even her two children Yanyan and Ranran There is no status at all.
So by taking advantage of Concubine Wu's trust and closeness to her over the years, she found an opportunity to frame her. Even though she only provided Concubine Qian with a time to poison her, she also helped to provide it, right?She knows the prince Xiao Weikun better than anyone else, how much he can only share wealth and honor, but not share adversity!
Surviving and loving the concubine, he will definitely choose to survive!Now, she did win the bet, so there's no need to hide it anymore, right?Even if Concubine Wu knew that she and Concubine Qian were behind the scenes, Emperor Wu and Concubine Sun would only regard her as slander and sophistry.
Mrs. Zheng bravely swept away the weakness in her heart, and sneered with a hard heart: "Yes, I am plotting against you. It is I who deceived your trust and tampered with those gift boxes. Concubine Qian put those crane tops with her own hands. The red is painted on the inside of the gift box, and once the lid is closed, the poison of Crane's Crown Red will stick to the food, and you, you, the side concubine Wu who prepared it all by herself, are of course to blame!"
"I've figured it out. Thank you for your guidance." Concubine Wu laughed bitterly at herself. Sure enough, her guess was correct. She spent more than ten years living in the East Palace in vain, but in the end she still fell into the hands of others.And this bystander turned out to be the crown princess who had always been harmonious with all the concubines and had no desires or disputes!
"Wu Rong'er, you asked for this!" Zheng's eyes were already red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even think about confessing me and Concubine Qian at this time, our family background is not your little one. The civil servant's daughter can be provoked, if you can still think of your two sons, and want the prince to live in the East Palace in peace, then it's best..."
"You don't need to waste your time talking." Concubine Wu interrupted Zheng's words coldly, suddenly raised her phoenix eyes, grabbed Zheng's hand, squeezed it tightly, and said fiercely: "My godfather!" He Yueer, if the empress dares to touch them, I swear, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"
"You..." I have never seen Concubine Wu look so ruthless, but Princess Zheng was frightened, a little cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "Let go of me!"
Wu Rong'er was disappointed in her heart, and ruthlessly shook Zheng Shi's hand away. With great force, she directly threw Zheng Shi away from the table, and her body softened and she took several steps back.This is really a great humiliation, she blushed and scolded angrily: "Wu side concubine, you are bold!"
"He is already a dying person, what else does the concubine dare to be bold?" Wu Rong'er stared into the eyes of Princess Zheng, and said coldly: "The concubine has already heard what your highness and concubine Qian said. , I thought His Highness would come directly to give orders to the concubine tonight, but I didn’t expect His Highness to take care of the concubine’s love for him for the past ten years. Your Majesty doesn’t need to say more, please go and reply to His Highness, since Rong’er is the Eastern Palace If His Highness really wants to use Rong Er's life in exchange for the safety of the East Palace, Rong Er has no intention of dismissing him, so just obey."
Mrs. Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and murmured: "You actually agreed like that?"
"Heh..." Wu Rong'er sneered, smiled, and tears came out again, feeling bitter like eating a pot of underripe lotus seeds at the same time.She shouldn't have fantasies, right?Why do you have to be so stupid, always thinking that that person won't do this step ruthlessly, it's ridiculous, really ridiculous.
"Your Majesty, please go back. Tomorrow, the concubine will make His Royal Highness feel at ease."
Princess Zheng stared in shock at the resolute woman under the lamplight, seeing her beautiful face with a stubborn and sad smile, still calmly embroidering the sachet in her hand in the candlelight, on the sachet was the last A mandarin duck is about to be embroidered.
They should have been extremely moved and happy, and all their plans were implemented in their designs, but for some reason, Princess Zheng's heart twitched violently at this moment, and the misty mist covered her eye sockets sorely, and she hurriedly covered her eyes. Mouth, turned and left.
Xiao Qiansheng's angry and cold handsome face suddenly appeared beside the brocade curtain outside the inner room, fixedly staring at the back of Princess Zheng leaving in a hurry, his fists were clenched and rattled.He walked to the side of Concubine Mu step by step, and called out tremblingly: "Concubine Mu..."
Wu Rong'er looked up at her son whom she loved deeply, her face was full of tears.
