Since ancient times, there are 72 concubines and concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards of the emperor. There are three thousand beautiful ladies. Few of them can really get the favor of the emperor. They are lucky to be favored by the emperor overnight. They are lucky to stand out even if they are pregnant. Even if they are pregnant, ordinary concubines will not be able to survive even if they are pregnant. In the end, they will either be killed or be killed The concubines in the palace, seemingly dignified, are actually the most unfortunate people in the world.
The imperial palace of Qing Dynasty is divided into East inner palace and West inner palace. The East inner palace is full of women, while the West inner palace is full of handsome and lovely men. The two imperial concubines are in charge of the two palaces, and the four imperial concubines are responsible for assisting them. Above all of them is the queen. If the emperor is the Lord of the world, then the queen is the head of the harem and holds the seal, He has the right to live and kill all the concubines.
According to the Convention, every morning, the concubines headed by the queen go to the Fuling palace to greet the Empress Dowager. Then the two imperial concubines lead the other concubines to the Fuqing palace to greet the queen. Today, the Empress Dowager is ill, so we don't have to worry about the dusk. The concubines go directly to Fuqing palace to greet the Empress Dowager. No matter who it is, including concubine Xiao who was in charge of the harem, there is no exception All of them were blocked at the gate of the palace. What's more, the miserable screams were constantly heard in Fuqing palace. Many people couldn't help looking inside. They were so nervous that they were afraid that something might happen.
"Excuse me, madam?? I really didn't teach the ninth prince to say those words. Niang Mingcha, Niang
"Niang, it's all wet nurse's nonsense. It has nothing to do with my concubine. I didn't expect that the nanny would be so talkative. Please be aware that my concubine is innocent?"
In the hall of Fuqing palace, Yang Zhaoyi, the mother of the ninth prince, and the wife of the tenth prince, were kneeling on the ground, crying with tears on their faces. Not far behind them, four palace people were being held on long stools at the same time. After learning that the ninth Prince and the tenth Prince openly insulted Shengqin at the banquet and were put under house arrest, they were worried that they could not sleep all night, Sure enough, people came to the Queen's palace early this morning, and they and the servants of the two palaces were all brought to Fuqing palace. The queen didn't ask any questions, and they were executed as soon as she opened her mouth. Before that, several of their confidants had been killed, so that they were already scared out of their wits.
Chu Yunhan, who sits high on the Phoenix chair, is still dressed in a Red Queen's dress. The begging for mercy and the scream below do not seem to disturb him at all. His tea tasting movements are elegant and leisurely. Every tiny movement shows his natural dignity and extraordinary. With his unconquerable handsome countenance above the six palaces, he is just like a banished immortal who has been exiled into the world by accident Blasphemy.
"Madame, they are dead."
After a while, the eunuch of execution came forward respectfully. Chu Yunhan, who was drinking tea, swept lightly, and her vermilion lips moved gently: "change people, continue to fight!"
The cold voice does not take a trace of emotional ups and downs, Fuqing palace hall outside has long been let blood to dye red, the air seems to be floating a disgusting smell of blood.
"Yes
"No, mother, spare your life?? How can you spare your life
"Spare your life, queen?? The servants didn't abet the master? "
"Madame?"
Kneeling outside, a large number of palace people shake their voices and beg for mercy. Liang Fei and Yang Zhaoyi look pale with fear. Will it be their turn later? They did not dream that the queen, who looks so cold and desolate on weekdays, should be so cruel. What kind of answer does he want? Do you have to kill them? Even for the sake of the throne, the nine princes and the ten princes are still young, and they are certainly not good enough. The people he should look for should not be concubine Xiao and them?
Suddenly, thinking of the throne, the two concubines who were scared out of their wits seemed to think of something. After looking at each other, the imperial concubine knelt down and said tentatively: "empress, I remember. A few days ago, when I went to sit with my sisters, I talked about Shengqin princess. At that time, the nine princes and ten princes were all there and said that the princess was just a lowly demon It's the elder sister of the imperial concubine. Ask the queen to see clearly. "
The story of the Xiao family has been spread all over the harem. It's said that Princess Xiao asked to see the emperor before dawn, but she was stopped by the queen. Obviously, the queen didn't want Princess Xiao to intercede for the Xiao family. She was gambling whether the queen wanted to bring down Princess Xiao at one stroke. The ninth Prince and the tenth Prince caused a terrible disaster. It's hard for them to escape punishment. It's better to wait for death A gamble may be able to curry favor with the queen and find a way for themselves and their children.
"Oh? Are you sure you remember correctly? Never forget? "
Chu Yunhan finally had a reaction. He slowly put down his tea cup, and his cold eyes swept at the imperial concubine. Instead of stopping her from seeing the emperor, it was better for him to forbid her to see the emperor. Even so, he knew that it was impossible to defeat Princess Xiao in one fell swoop. What he wanted was just to fight for time.
"No, I will never forget it again."
Knowing that she was right, the concubine did not dare to have any hesitation. She nodded her head in a hurry. Yang Zhaoyi, who was next to her, came forward and said, "as soon as sister liangfei said it, my concubine also remembered it. Those words are indeed those of your sister. Please observe them carefully."After that, they kowtow to him. In the past, they were all attached to the imperial concubine. Now, the situation is stronger than others. The empress clearly wants to kill Princess Xiao and even the Xiao family. If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will kill them, they can only abandon Princess Xiao.
"Take the ninth Prince and the tenth Prince out."
Chu Yunhan beckons, and Qiuxiang Dongxiang, who is waiting on the side, bows slightly. After a while, the two children who were shut up all night and were brought here in the morning to witness the bloody scene have already lost their arrogance last night. Their eyes are even a little dull. Yang Zhaoyi, the concubine, pounces on them with heartache.
"Wuwu, the ninth prince.
"Mother? After feeling the warmth of their mother, the two princes hugged them and cried. Chu Yunhan couldn't help shaking his spirits when he saw this scene. At that time, his Xiao Qi always held him and cried. At that time, no one helped them, and he could only cry with him. However, that kind of day could not last long. When Xiao Guifei led people to rush, he couldn't help him After entering Fuqing palace and cutting Xiao Qi alive in front of him, his world completely collapsed??
At that time, I could hear Xiao Qi's cry of pain after he called out his father. Originally, there was a trace of soft hearted eyes. He could no longer be as cold as before. Jingxuan was right. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, and wrong step by step. Because of a little pity, we can't repeat the same mistakes.
"Concubine Xiao is outside at this time. Do you dare to confront him face to face?"
, from beginning to end, Chu Yun Han did not say anything to induce them. Even if he had filled the eyelid of each palace, he was not afraid to hear them. Even if he could not put this matter on the head of Xiao Gui Fei, he would not be related to him.
"Yes, I know."
Yang Zhaoyi, holding her son, closed her eyes and did not dare to face the cold and sharp eyes of Yunhan in upper Chu.
"Touch!"
Suddenly, Chu Yunhan slapped his hands on the arm of the Phoenix chair, and the four of them couldn't help but tremble. They raised their heads in panic. Chu Yunhan swept away the previous calm and scoffed at Yang Zhaoyi, who was smart and said, "come on, take Yang Zhaoyi down to the palace and die."
"No, ma'am, my concubine is wrong. Forgive me, madam?"
Hearing this, Yang Zhaoyi was so scared that she couldn't even care about her son. She cried and rushed to Chu Yunhan. She didn't expect that Chu Yunhan was smarter than he thought, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
"What are you doing? Pull it down! Chunxiang keeps the ninth prince
See all don't want to look at her, Chu cloud cold voice, all to this field, dare to play with his heart, hum, really think he dare not move her? In the past, he ignored them, not afraid of them, but disdained to fight with them. He did not expect to raise them one by one and framed him in front of him. He did not know how to make trouble behind his back?
"Yes
The eunuch who executed the sentence did not dare to hesitate any more. He forced Yang Zhaoyi, who was crying, from left to right. At the same time, Chunxiang also came forward to hold the ninth prince.
"Forgive me, madam. I dare not do it any more. Please forgive me, madam?"
"Go away, you are not allowed to move my mother's concubine, my mother's concubine?"?? Let me go
Yang Zhaoyi, who was dragged away, yelled loudly. The ninth prince also struggled to save his mother. However, his strength was too small to break away from Chunxiang's grip. Seeing that his mother's concubine was pressed on a stool, he was about to fight. The ninth prince was quick to bite Chunxiang's hand and rushed back to Chu Yunhan when she was in pain.
"Father, please go around your mother's concubine. She didn't say anything wrong just now. Please forgive her."
Although he grew up in the palace, he was only seven or eight years old. Naturally, he could not know what his mother's concubine had made just now. In his opinion, the queen wanted his mother's concubine to die on purpose. Therefore, even though he was crying for mercy, his small eyes were filled with hatred that could not be mistaken. If he was allowed to gain power, he would be the first to die.
"Do you know what your mother and concubine did just now?"
After all, it's a child. Chu Yunhan is not cruel enough to kill him, but his tone is a little more severe.
"Yes, she only said she knew."
Looking down at his eyes, the ninth Prince clenched his fist, and his face was full of hatred. His mother's concubine clearly followed him. What's wrong?
"Do you know what this palace is asking? Why did I come to you today? "
With a glance at his fist, Chu Yunhan sighed helplessly in his heart. With such a mother's concubine, he is doomed to be difficult to make a breakthrough in his life. I'm afraid that whether he can grow up in the future will become a problem.
"The father came to us because of his son's minister's collision with aunt Jiuhuang last night. What you asked was whether the mother's concubine dared to confront concubine Xiao?"
Speaking of this, the ninth prince seemed to find something. He raised his head and looked at Chu Yunhan, and the latter nodded: "yes, my palace asked if they would dare to confront concubine Xiao, but what she answered was that my concubine knew. It seemed submissive, but actually she was trapped in injustice. You also heard the previous conversation. It was your mother's concubine who said that Princess Sheng Qin was a lowly evil spirit The palace has never induced or ordered her, but her reaction will give people. Everything is coerced by the palace, and she deliberately puts the blame on Princess Xiao. If your father or his grandmother asks, and she bites this palace again, how can we deal with it? Xiao Jiu, you also grew up in this palace. You should know that any word here may lead to death. Your mother's concubine was not killed by this palace, but by herself. "No matter what his intention is, at least on the surface, he has never induced them or coerced them. Yang Zhaoyi can not take the initiative to cooperate. Since she has chosen to cooperate, she should not have a fluke mentality. She should not treat him as an idiot and play with him in person.
After a word, the ninth prince finally understood the whole story. His hatred was gone, but he was afraid that he was naked. Looking back at his mother's concubine who could not be called out, the ninth Prince resolutely knelt down: "after the father, all the children are ignorant. After nearly wronging the father, please forgive the mother's wife for his son's sake, even if she is sent to a cold palace, Please, after your father At this moment, the ninth Prince seems to grow up in an instant. However, this kind of growth is heartbreaking. But, which Royal Prince did not come like this? Even if he is as strong as Yan Shengrui, so is he!
"Well, let them stop. For the sake of Xiao Jiu's face, my palace will let her go and tell her that from today on, Yang Zhaoyi will be reduced to ronghua, and she will not be allowed to leave her bedroom for three years."
Zhaoyi, who was in the fourth grade, dropped six grades in succession and became ronghua, who was ten grades. This punishment was already very serious for the concubines. In addition, she would be banned for three years. Undoubtedly, she was deprived of the possibility of being spoiled. How many three years does a woman have in her youth? When she comes out three years later, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know where he is. However, compared with being ignored, this is the best result.
"Thank you, father."
The ninth Prince knelt down and deeply kowtowed him three times. The concubine, who had a good view of everything, was secretly shocked. What a queen, such a high lever means, not only punished Yang Zhaoyi who tried to frame him up, but also made the ninth Prince appreciate him from the bottom of his heart. The good princess could not help asking herself whether she could have such a means? The answer is no, she can't.
At this point, the concubine no longer dare to have a fluke mind, can only follow him wholeheartedly, otherwise, she is really afraid that even if she does not know how, she will die miserably.
