Reborn as King again

In the following days, people in the palace were in panic, because the third princess Li Dan'er died, He Wenliu was ill, Xia Zhirou just had a miscarriage, and so many things happened that the inner eunuchs saw people from Qingluan Hall from afar , or the people in Wen Cuiyuan, all took a detour, for fear of getting into trouble.

I remained calm and did what I had to do. I didn't ask someone to investigate the cause of Dan'er's death, I didn't go to see He Wenliu who had been unconscious all this time, and I still didn't care about Xia Zhirou who had a miscarriage.Everyone thinks that I don't care about what happened in the palace at all, but it's not the case. I'm waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity when all the protagonists are present, and then slowly settle the score.

This opportunity will come soon, two days later, it will be the day when all the concubines in the palace will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay their respects to the empress, so I will also stop by to pay my respects to the empress.

When I stepped into the Compassionate Ning Palace, I saw everyone there, Jia Wanru, Xia Zhirou, and other concubines who could be named.The queen mother was sitting on the main seat in front of the main hall, chatting with the concubines, it was rare for Xiao Ba to stop playing today, and stood beside the queen mother, accompanying her.

When everyone saw me, they were shocked and felt that I shouldn't be here.The queen mother's face became stiff when she saw me, and she probably has no face to see me now.

Xiao Ba is also a person with a wink, even if he doesn't participate in the struggle for power in the harem, he can be regarded as ignorant of it. He has heard about what happened in the harem these days, so when he saw me, he immediately piled up a smile specially to please me, Said: "Brother Huang, why are you free today? Come here quickly and have a good chat with the queen mother."

I just followed Xiaoba's words, and I didn't even invite An to the queen mother, so I went forward and sat next to the queen mother.The queen mother couldn't hold back her smile anymore, I've never shown her face like this before, but she can't blame me for anything.

The queen mother winked at Xiao Ba, wanting Xiao Ba to speak first, and don't let the atmosphere be stalemate. Xiao Ba was unwilling to bump into the muzzle of the gun, but her mother's fate was hard to do, so she could only ask with a smile: "Brother Huang?" , I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?"

I glanced at him and said calmly: "My daughter recently died, the cause of death is unknown, Concubine Wen is unconscious on the hospital bed again, do you think Brother Huang is doing well recently?"

As soon as my words came out, the queen mother couldn't bear it anymore, she had never heard such thorny words in words, let alone his son who said these words!The queen mother took my hand and said, "Emperor, Ai's family is just a young Concubine Wen, didn't you agree back then?"

I directly withdrew my hand from the queen mother's palm, glanced coldly and said: "The queen mother also promised her son that she would not punish too much, but what did you do in the end?"

The queen mother hurriedly explained: "The Ai family didn't know that the weather would be so changeable that day, or else the Ai family would also..." After saying this, the mother suddenly thought of something and stopped immediately.

"Also? What?" I asked the Queen Mother's words, but the Queen Mother didn't open her mouth to answer anymore, and her eyes were a little erratic.I didn't embarrass her, and continued: "Mother, I just want to ask you a question, did you think of the punishment of punishing Concubine Wen to kneel in the Changting Hall on May [-], or was someone chewing on you? "Speaking, I glanced at Xia Zhirou who was standing under the lobby.

When the queen mother heard it, she immediately argued: "This has nothing to do with Rou'er, it's... It's Aijia's own decision." But Lan Mei, the queen mother's maid, told me long ago that this was only Xia Zhirou's idea at all, and the queen mother is still there. Protect her here.

"Mother's Queen." I asked back, "I didn't mention Rou Zhaoyi just now, but you said it yourself, Queen Mother." Now I don't even call Rou'er, and I call her Rou Zhaoyi directly. Obviously, I I was angry with her, and very angry.Xia Zhirou didn't wink any more, and could hear the unkindness in my tone, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass your mother anymore, Rouer admits that it was Rouer who asked her mother to punish Concubine Wen like this." .”

Xia Zhirou raised her head, her eyes were full of unwillingness, "The concubine's child felt uncomfortable because of the loss of Concubine Wen, so she begged the queen mother to make Concubine Wen kneel outside the Changting Hall as punishment, it was just a punishment, not What a big deal, why does the emperor use this tone to settle accounts with the queen mother."

"Okay, Rou Zhaoyi, you admit it, all of this is your idea." I slapped the armrest on the chief seat hard, and asked sharply: "You know that Concubine Wen is not in good health, but you deliberately Let him be punished in that kind of weather, at such a young age, but with such a vicious heart!"

"Your Majesty is wronged!" Xia Zhirou just pleaded guilty and argued, "Your Majesty, my concubine is not a god, how can you let the sun shine on May [-]th, and the sun will shine, and it will rain heavily, The weather that day was simply a coincidence, please be careful with the emperor." The queen mother couldn't bear to see their Xia family being questioned by me in the hall, and said in a mournful voice: "My son, the Ai family knows that you love Concubine Wen, but you can't give away all your love for Concubine Wen. Rou'er blamed it on Rou'er, what Rou'er said is right, the weather is not something people can control."

I sighed, knowing that my mother will always protect the members of the Xia family, no matter what the Xia family did wrong, my mother will try to protect it as much as possible.But today, I can't make my mother's wish come true. I said: "My mother, in order to give birth to a prince, Rou Zhaoyi often visits the national teacher, and asks the national teacher to measure and divination for him, and arranges the formation. The national teacher watches the stars every day , How could it be possible not to know the weather conditions on May [-]th? Rou Zhaoyi has been very close to him recently, and I have heard of it. Confrontation."

When I said this, the empress mother was speechless. Although Xia Zhirou in her heart was arrogant, she was definitely not the kind of person with bad intentions.The queen mother turned her head and looked at Xia Zhirou, wanting to hear her explanation.But how does Xia Zhirou explain it?The facts are indeed as I said, so she felt a slap in the face, and said: "The emperor is right, it is indeed so."

When the queen mother heard this, her already ugly face became even more gloomy, and she scolded: "Rou'er! How can you be so foolish! You still use Aijia!"

"The queen mother, the concubine is also forced!" Xia Zhirou burst into tears after being yelled at by the queen mother, "The concubine had a miscarriage because of the concubine Wen, but the emperor didn't care about it, and he still focused on concubine Wen. The concubine couldn't be more angry. I want to teach Concubine Wen a lesson, I want to avenge my concubine's child, this concubine did nothing wrong!"

"You are so obsessed with obsession!" The queen mother was refuted by Xia Zhirou's outrageous words, and she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand on the ground, panting loudly. The mother queen is a bit old, and sometimes she will be out of breath when she gets excited come up.Xiao Ba saw the empress so uncomfortable, and immediately gave her another cup of tea for her to drink, and then patted her back to make her feel better.Then Xiao Ba glanced at me and signaled me to end it quickly, and stop making the queen mother angry.

I pretended not to see, no matter what, I will cure Xia Zhirou today!So I continued my topic and said: "Rou Zhaoyi, you let Concubine Wen be punished and make him sick, but you are still afraid that he will not die. You specially sent a little eunuch Yuan Xiang to guard Concubine Wen to watch After Concubine Wen woke up, she asked Yuan Xiang to tell him about Dan'er's death. Dan'er was Concubine Wen's only child, how could Concubine Wen bear this blow? Concubine Wen was knocked unconscious by you, and now she is at the gate of hell lingering."

Xia Zhirou knelt on the ground, trembling, seemed to be afraid of something, faltered and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine..."

Instead of giving her a chance to speak, I asked her: "I've always had a question, why do people in your palace know that Dan'er is dead? Could it be you who killed Dan'er?"

"Emperor!" As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy stick, hitting the queen mother's heart. She would never believe that her beloved daughter of the Xia family would be such a wolfish and ambitious person. The hem of my clothes trembled and said: "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing..."

Xia Zhirou also shook her head vigorously, refused to admit anything, and cried, "Your Majesty!! You can't really wrong my concubine, you...you have no evidence!"

"Evidence?" I sneered and said, "Dan'er's death is only known to the eunuchs and imperial doctors of Qingluan Hall. Yuan Xiang is your eunuch in Wen Cuiyuan. How could he know that Dan'er is dead and tell Concubine Wen? I think There is only one reason, that is, you killed Dan'er, and you ordered Yuan Xiang to pass the news to Concubine Wen, am I wrong?"

"No! The concubine didn't do that!" Xia Zhirou still refused to admit her mistake, and argued, "Maybe... maybe Yuan Xiang heard about it from the eunuchs in the Qingluan Hall. Your majesty, the concubine really didn't do this. ah!"

"Rou Zhaoyi, I don't think you know." I looked at her distorted face, and I thought she must not know at this moment, her guilty eyes had already betrayed him, I slowly said: "I died in Dan'er Afterwards, I ordered everyone who knew that Dan'er was dead to shut up, just to prevent Concubine Wen from knowing about it, Yuan Xiang is your inner eunuch of Wen Cuiyuan, how could he know!"

"Your Majesty! Orders are dead, but people are alive!" Xia Zhirou continued to explain: "Perhaps Yuan Xiang accidentally overheard the inner eunuchs of Qingluan Palace talking about it, and he looked at Concubine Wen pitifully. Only then did you tell him about the third princess, Your Majesty, you have no solid evidence to prove that the third princess was killed by your concubine!"

Xia Zhirou will not die until the Yellow River, since she wants evidence so much, okay, then I will give him the evidence.Then I planned to produce ironclad evidence to make her admit her fate.But at this moment, my eldest prince, Li Chen, suddenly ran out, knelt down in front of me, and cried, "Royal Father, Grandmother, it wasn't...it wasn't Lady Zhaoyi who killed Dan'er, killed her!" Dan'er's is someone else's, my son... my son saw it with his own eyes!"

What Li Chen said surprised all of us, and I was also very puzzled, it was impossible, I was [-]% sure in my heart, it was Xia Zhirou's own bad deeds, how could there be other people?

Li Chen is six years old this year, and looks like a boy jumping out of a New Year painting. At this moment, his eyes are red and swollen from crying, and he said intermittently: "Father, you...you trust my son, My son didn't lie."

I was not in a hurry, I just wanted to see what Li Chen wanted to say, so I asked: "Then according to what Shen Er said, who is the person who killed Dan Er?"

Li Chen raised his hand, pointed to a maidservant standing behind Xia Zhirou, and said, "That's her! I saw it with my own eyes, she was the one who killed Dan'er!"

Li Chen's testimonial, not only did not help Xia Zhirou to be exonerated, but instead made her guilty even more deadly, because the person Li Chen was pointing at was none other than Xia Zhirou's personal maid, Guizhi!
