"I am also very sad to hear that the Little Prince has passed away. This perfectly fine person actually said that it was all gone. " The empress wiped the tears away from her eyes as she spoke, her voice choked with sobs.
"I've lost my composure."
The empress revealed a weak smile. "Even though I am not the birth mother of the young prince, I view all of His Majesty's children as my own. The young prince suddenly died. As a mother, my heart really doesn't feel good. "
This affective card was quite effective. The excitement that Hu Rong was feeling gradually subsided. But elder sister's death due to the poisoning of the little prince was indeed something that the empress could not escape from.
"What does' prince 'not awaken the imperial physician mean?"
This question of Hu Rong's really got the empress's attention. She did have the selfishness to use this opportunity to give Imperial Concubine Jin an eyedrop. He never expected that the horse would lose its footing and fall into his trap.
Blue veins popped on the empress's forehead as she feebly explained, "When the old diseases of my palace recur, His Majesty took care of these large and small affairs of the imperial harem and left them to the other concubines. "Right now, the one managing the harem is Imperial Concubine Jin. She can't be pampered during pregnancy. Everyone knows that the Emperor's new favorite, Imperial Concubine Ning."
The empress shook her head helplessly as she spoke. "There are some things that I can't decide even if I say something unpleasant."
The empress really treated her as a child who wouldn't care less. Hu Rong laughed coldly as she felt even more disdain. Since when could the empress of the imperial harem be unable to command the Grand Hospital? This was obviously a perfunctory excuse.
"The empress was quite awe-inspiring before, why can't she lift her head when she's faced with Ning Xiaoyao?" This is really surprising! "
Regardless of whether it was the empress's words or not, this kind of excuse would fool the officials in the court who had their own ulterior motives.
Even though her elder sister was a saint, she didn't have much of an excuse. It was only with her father's help that she managed to gain some authority in the harem. The Queen allowed Shen Qing An to climb onto her head, who was she trying to deceive?
The empress's face turned green from Hu Rong's words, and she didn't know what to say. There was a wolf in the front, and a tiger in the back. What could she do? Now Shen Qingning was using Ye Feihan's favor to secretly stir up a lot of trouble.
Ye Feihan had already been in the Hall of Congealing for more than ten days.
Ye Feian had arranged many things for her to do, so the empress wasn't in the mood to get involved in a harem battle.
Fang Ruo retorted, "Miss Hu Rong is too funny. The emperor has yet to take care of the empress dowager's illness, so he left matters of the imperial harem with Imperial Concubine Ning. Right now, the esteemed Empress is resting her illness and isn't overly involved in the affairs of the imperial harem, so the empress doesn't know anything about the little prince. "
As the empress, Fang Ruo could tell with one glance that the empress intended to pass on everything to Shen Qingning, so she hastily made an excuse when Hu Rong's attitude loosened up.
Hu Rong didn't believe it, but she didn't have the empress's proof of it. Even if it was reported to Ye Feihan, it would at most be a perfunctory matter.
However, she was unwilling to accept this. The young prince of the Shang Shu Manor, who the entire Hu Clan had been waiting for day and night, had died in this battle for nothing.
"Tomorrow morning, Father will definitely report this matter to the Emperor. We absolutely cannot let it pass so simply."
The empress also frowned with worry. How could she not know that the little prince had given birth to the eldest son of the emperor? This could be said to be a great achievement. If she were to die in such an unknown manner, even if she had the intention of perfunctoring over it, the entire imperial court would not allow her to do so.
There were many people waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
"Don't worry, your sister and I will definitely not let this killer off!"
"That's good. I hope the Empress will keep her promise!" After saying that, Hu Rong turned around and left.
She rushed to find the empress to settle the score. Her elder sister must have informed her father to come and support her. Her father would definitely be worried if she didn't go out for a long time. The foreign officials couldn't enter the harem, so it would be a lot of trouble if they were to enter the harem after completely falling out with the empress.
After she apologized, she turned her head and chased after Hu Rong, who had been persuading her kindly all the way back. During the financial year, she forcefully suppressed Hu Rong's anger.
Hu Rong's temper was like a raging fire, she was so agitated that she was like a small cannon ball whenever she ran into something. With the death of her eldest son, the imperial concubine was truly saddened. She even hoped that she wouldn't add fuel to the fire after her return and urge the Minister to cause trouble.
Hu Rong ran as fast as she could until she passed through the twelfth arch, then saw her father, who was sitting restlessly.
"You are being completely unreasonable!"
He dared to go to the Jingyang Hall to cause trouble for the empress. He must be tired of living. The Queen's bloodline was rampant. Even if he added fuel to the fire, there was no way for the emperor to punish the empress.
In the end, Ning Fei would be the scapegoat.
"Father, the Queen biting her to death has nothing to do with her. "It was directly pushed to Shen Qingning …"
Hu Rong was sure that this was the empress's handiwork, so she didn't have the ability to do so. She could have bribed an imperial physician, but she couldn't bribe the entire hospital.
The only one who could do this without anyone noticing was the empress.
Moreover, the third princess' illness was truly strange.
"Father, the third princess' illness is really strange. "My daughter feels that …"
The Minister nodded before shaking his head. He turned around and warned Hu Rong, "Father has his own plans for this. Don't interfere in this matter anymore and arrange for your marriage to be arranged for you."
Hu Rong knew that she was in the wrong and wanted to retort when she saw her father's cold gaze.
Prince Hu scared off his youngest daughter, so she waved her hands to find a spy planted in the palace to whisper to her:
"Go check. See if anyone has been there."
The emperor had already snubbed Imperial Concubine Qian for over a year. Without the emperor's favor, just a little princess alone would not alarm the entire Grand Hospital.
At this moment, she was holding her daughter in a determined manner. The girl in his arms was a bit hot, so she curled up in her arms and slept soundly.
A young palace maid asked, "Empress, did you take out the Lotus Dew you prepared earlier?"
"No need," said Consort Qian, her eyes drooping sadly as she praised herself as Ye Feihan's flower of explanation. After so many years, the husband and wife naturally knew that his cold and frail nature did not marry anyone. She knew that his depression was not enough, but Ye Feihan was impotent and powerless, yet he was also intoxicated with power.
When the palace maid heard this, she no longer went forward to disturb him. Although their esteemed mistress was easy to get along with, the biggest taboo was disturbing her when she was deep in thought. It was better to avoid her.
Shen Qingning lowered his head and fiddled with the Jin Kushu on his wrist. He inadvertently recalled the promise that Ye Feihan had made when he loved and doted upon Shen Qingning: "The white hair is inseparable."
How ridiculous.
"Bring him over. Tell him that I agree to cooperate with him."
As a mother, it was better for the sake of the family. She had previously chosen to be patient. Now that she had a more important child, she was willing to turn into a beast and desperately save her child in the human harem.
It didn't matter if those people were ghosts, they wouldn't be able to step even half a step into her shoes.
