Reborn as King again

Xiao Anzi, who came to report to me, is Xia Zhisu's confidant. She served Xia Zhisu by her side when she was the former queen, and she has done many bad things by Xia Zhisu's side.Later, the emperor passed away, the former empress left the palace, Xiao Anzi had no backer in the harem, plus he bullied the other eunuchs in every possible way before, life must be difficult. It is said that he was sent by a father-in-law to wash the toilet until summer. When Zhisu returned to the palace, Xia Zhisu learned that Xiao Anzi, who had worked hard for him, was still there, so he ordered someone to take him over and continue to serve him by his side.Now Xiao Anzi is reborn as a salted fish, straightening his back in the harem, relying on Xia Zhisu's reputation to run amok outside every day.

On the way I rushed to Jiaoxi Hall, Xiao Anzi told me with snot and tears that Prince Li Yi deliberately pushed Xia Zhisu down the hundred steps, and the maids around Xia Zhisu were all stupid In a blink of an eye, there was no time to react. When he realized it, Xia Zhisu rolled a long way, and finally rolled to the ground, passed out, and his body was covered in blood.Xiao Anzi's tone hinted that Jia Wanru was referring to the messenger.

Due to Xiao Anzi's identity, the credibility of his words is relatively low in my opinion.I knew it must be Jia Wanru's hand, but I didn't expect that she would actually use Li Yi. Li Yi is the prince. Isn't she afraid that Li Yi's position as the prince will be lost if she does this?Jia Wanru would not be so stupid.

When I came to Jiaotai Hall, the queen mother waited in the yard with her eunuchs, anxiously waiting for the diagnosis results of the imperial doctors.Jia Wanru and Li Yi knelt in the middle of the yard, looking very pitiful.Xia Zhisu rolled down a ten-foot-high ladder when she was six months pregnant. The child must be lost, and there might be two dead bodies. I feel a little pity that Xia Zhisu died just like that It's too cheap for her, I haven't tortured her in the harem yet.

I walked up to Li Yi, touched his head, and asked, "Yi'er, stand up first." Li Yi raised his head and saw me, tears welled up in his red eyes, "Father... "

"Don't stand!" The queen mother saw that I was protecting Li Yi so much, and didn't care about Xia Zhisu's life or death in the dormitory, so she was naturally very angry: "Emperor! This time Yi'er did too much wrong, he To push Su'er down the stairs on purpose, isn't that killing Su'er?"

Li Yi's little face turned pale. He knelt and walked to the empress's legs, grabbed the hem of the empress's clothes, and cried to defend himself: "No! Grandmother, Yi'er didn't push Concubine Su, but just bumped into her by accident. Give her a little, I didn't do it on purpose, grandma, you must believe me~" Li Yi was very wronged, and said while crying: "Grandmother, you obviously love Yi'er very much, why don't you trust Yi'er? "

The queen mother also felt uncomfortable. Li Yi was her good grandson, with a noble status and a prince. She had often coaxed her to be happy, and she herself did not want to believe that Li Yi would do such a thing.I didn't want to embarrass my mother, so I pulled Li Yi away from her mother first, and asked, "Mother, why do you think Yi'er pushed Concubine Su on purpose?"

Li Yi heard my question, and started to pull my dragon robe again, "Father, I didn't push Concubine Su! I just accidentally bumped into her, Father, you must believe what I say !!" In my setting, I am a loving father, and my most beloved son must be Li Yi, so I will believe what Li Yi says, so I quickly hugged him and coaxed him: "Yi'er, don't cry! , father trusts you, don't cry, okay?"

"Emperor!" The queen mother didn't expect that I hadn't tried this matter yet, so she started to talk to Li Yi. The queen mother dissuaded me and said, "You can't spoil Yi'er like this! Yi'er is the prince, and the prince has done something wrong. Punishment, but let him do whatever he wants, how can he inherit the great rule in the future?"

Wiping Li Yi's tears, I said, "My mother's words are serious, but I still say the same thing. Do you have any evidence to prove that Yi'er did it on purpose?"

"Evidence? These eunuchs are all evidence!" The queen mother said, pointing to a court lady who had kept her head down, and said, "Osmanthus fragrans, tell me!"

Osmanthus fragrans is Xia Zhisu's personal maid, and she served Xia Zhisu when she was in her boudoir. Later, when Xia Zhisu left the palace and moved into the Taimiao, she also accompanied her. Naturally, what she said was directed at her master.

Osmanthus fragrans knelt on the ground and cried, "Today, Concubine Su, Concubine Wan and the little prince met in front of the hundred steps beside the imperial garden corridor. Concubine Su chatted with Concubine Wan, and then the prince suddenly Pushed Concubine Su, and Concubine Su rolled down the hundred steps, this is all witnessed by my servants, please Your Majesty to observe clearly."

"Father! She's talking nonsense!" Li Yi pointed at the sweet-scented osmanthus and said aggrievedly: "I have never had a grudge against you, why did you frame me?" Li Yi was afraid that I would not believe her, so he cried: "She is a plain Concubine and empress, naturally speak for her, father, don't believe her words!"

I looked at Jia Wanru who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief. She didn't justify herself from the beginning to the end. I really couldn't figure out what she was doing, so I asked Jia Wanru's personal maid, Taohong: "Taohong, what are you doing?" You should be there too? What do you think?"

When Tao Hong saw me asking her, she immediately knelt down and said: "Go back to the emperor, this servant saw it with my own eyes, it was just that the prince was playful and accidentally bumped into the concubine Su, and the concubine Su didn't stand still and rolled down by herself. , you can ask other people.”

ask others?Which makes me ask who?Among the eunuchs present, one was from Xia Zhisu, the other was from Jia Wanru, each insisted on their own words and none of them let go, so what truth could they tell?

I looked at Tao Qing who was standing behind Jia Wanru, Tao Qing happened to be looking at me too, she blinked at me, and I understood that Li Yi did it on purpose!

At this time, Ruan Tao, the imperial physician who specialized in diagnosis and treatment for Xia Zhisu, came out. He was sweating profusely. As soon as he saw me, he told me about Xia Zhisu's condition. Xia Zhisu's six-month-old child was dying. It flowed out from the stomach, and it was still a baby boy, but Xia Zhisu was in good health, so he saved his life, and now he is just in a coma.

The queen mother was relieved when she heard this: "It's good to be alive, you can have another child, Su'er is still young."

Hearing what the queen mother said, Ruan Tao immediately knelt on the ground, faltering and saying: "Although... Although the concubine Su is not in danger of life now, but shedding a child after six months of pregnancy will cause too much damage to the woman's body, my humble minister It is estimated that it will be difficult for Concubine Su to get pregnant again in the future." When the queen mother heard the news, she didn't stand still, if I hadn't supported her, she would have fallen over, so I quickly comforted the queen mother and said: "My queen, please be careful of your body first "Xia Zhisu caused He Wenliu's dystocia before, making it impossible for He Wenliu to have any more children, and she herself has no children now, and it is impossible to have children in the future. This is all her retribution.

The queen mother has always regarded Xia Zhisu as her own daughter. Now Xia Zhisu's fate is so miserable, and I am still protecting the person who harmed her. The queen mother thinks that I protect Li Yi so much because Li Yi is Jia Wanru's son. In the eyes of the queen mother, I have always loved Jia Wanru deeply, and everything follows her, including her son.The queen mother pushed me away, walked directly in front of Jia Wanru, slapped her on the face in front of all the eunuchs, and cursed: "Why are you so cruel! Teach the prince like this? Let him harm others ?!"

Jia Wanru covered her red and swollen side face, tears welled up immediately, she shook her head vigorously, and the red hairpin on her bun squeaked, she explained: "No! Empress, you must trust your concubine, Yi'er, Yi'er He really didn't do it on purpose, Yi'er is so young, less than three years old, and has little strength, how could he push Concubine Su down? He doesn't understand anything at all!"

"Yes, Yi'er doesn't understand, don't you understand?!" The queen mother is not a fool, Xia Zhisu has no children, who else will benefit the most besides Jia Wanru?The empress mother's face became a bit hideous, "Concubine Wan, the Ai family knew that you had means, and the Ai family turned a blind eye to you for the sake of the emperor, but now you are killing people? And you still have the crown prince Are you also involved? You are so cruel!"

"No! Queen Mother!" Jia Wanru's tears kept flowing, she was extremely wronged, and she was still defending herself: "The concubine has stayed in the harem for so long, if she really wanted to kill someone, she would be so stupid to let the inner prisoner Do you see it? Let the prince do it again? What good does it do us? Yier really didn't mean it, queen mother, emperor, you must trust your concubine!"

I saw that it was not a problem for them to make such a fuss, so I took my mother's hand to prevent her from slapping people again later, and I said in a discussing tone: "Mother, Concubine Su hasn't woken up yet, why don't you wait for her to wake up?" Come on, take care of your body, and listen to what she has to say, what if there is really a misunderstanding?"

Then I thought for a while and said, "Queen, how about this? When Concubine Su gets better, let's gather all the concubines in the harem together to be a witness, and let Concubine Su and Concubine Wan face to face. I believe that the misunderstanding will be cleared up." It's been lifted." I provided Jia Wanru with such a good platform, so don't let her down.

The queen mother thought that my arrangement would be more beneficial to Xia Zhisu. She looked at Jia Wanru who was kneeling on the ground, crying so hard, and asked coldly, "Concubine Wan, do you dare to confront Su'er?"

Although the internal supervisors of the two palaces have different opinions, Xia Zhisu is the victim. As long as she insists that Li Yi did it on purpose, Li Yi's career as a prince will definitely have twists and turns, and it may be over, but Jia Wanru said: "The concubine Willing to confront Concubine Su. Concubine Su is a sensible person, she will not wrong Yi'er."

After Xia Zhisu woke up, she knew that her child was gone, and her whole body was empty. The queen mother was so scared that she thought she couldn't stand the blow and wanted to die, so she guarded her every day.I sneered in my heart, how could Xia Zhisu seek death, even in front of his mother, he was so full of tricks.A few days later, Xia Zhisu's health improved, but she still couldn't get out of bed, she could only talk, and the first thing she said was "The prince deliberately pushed me down." When Xia Zhisu was there, she was crying and insinuating that it was Jia Wanru who wanted to harm her.

Xia Zhisu had a miscarriage, and since she couldn't keep the child, she decided to drag Li Yi and Jia Wanru into the water.All of a sudden, rumors spread in the harem, saying that Jia Wanru couldn't tolerate Xia Zhisu's pregnancy, fearing that Xia Zhisu would threaten her status and cause Xia Zhisu to have a miscarriage. All the rumors in the palace were not good for Jia Wanru. Then these gossip rumors spread outside the palace somehow, adding fuel and jealousy among the people, saying that Jia Wanru is a child who can't tolerate others, a vicious jealous woman.

The atmosphere above the court was also very strange, the ministers didn't dare to say anything, they didn't know whether the crown prince would be able to pass this test and whether his position could be kept.This time Xia Zhisu had a miscarriage and insisted that it was the prince's poisonous hand, so no matter how much I love Li Yi, I can't completely save him. Brotherly killing is the most common in the royal family, but it is also the last thing to happen.

Xia Zhisu could only get out of bed after raising her for half a month, and then the queen mother couldn't wait to let me decide on a date, and asked all the concubines to go to her Compassionate Palace to witness the face-to-face confrontation between Jia Wanru and Xia Zhisu.

Seeing that the queen mother is determined to avenge Xia Zhisu, I will not hinder her mood, everything is according to the queen mother's wishes, let the queen mother decide the day, and when the queen mother says it will be that time.Seeing how filial I am, the queen mother was naturally very satisfied, and said directly: "The fourteenth day of this month is the day when all the concubines greet Ai's family, how about that day?" Come, because I still don't know what move Jia Wanru will make.

On the night of October [-]th, I stayed in the study of Qianlong Palace and waited for the news. Recently, I sent many people to investigate privately in the Imperial Garden to see if anyone else saw Li Yi pushing Xia Zhisu.After searching for many days, there were no other witnesses in the imperial garden except those from the two palaces. The gardener in charge of flowers and plants was "just" away at that time, so I can only wait for news from Taoqing tonight. She has been staying by Jia Wanru's side all the time, so she should be aware of her actions.

In the middle of the night, Wanfu pushed the door open. I thought Tao Qinglai had heard the news, but Wanfu said, "Your Majesty, Xinyue is asking to see you."

new moon?Why didn't Taoqing wait to come, but the new moon came?Isn't she from He Wenliu?I was suspicious for a while, so I said, "Let her in."

After a while, Xinyue walked into the study, bowed to me, and I said, "What's wrong?"

Xinyue did not hide anything, and said: "Concubine Wan took the little prince to find Concubine Wen today, and they all knelt down to Concubine Wen, hoping that Concubine Wen could be a witness for the prince and keep him."

When I heard what Xinyue said, I was astonished. Could it be that Xia Zhisu's miscarriage was not only related to Jia Wanru, but also to He Wenliu?
