The emperor rushed to the palace of Kunning and asked about the jade beauty when he entered the palace.
The emperor is 50 years old this year, and there has been no prince or daughter born in the palace for several years. He was very happy when he first heard that the jade beauty was pregnant. This shows that he is old and strong, so he ordered the palace people to take good care of the jade beauty.
Hearing that the baby in the jade beauty's belly had been shed away, the emperor couldn't help his anger. The empress calmly saluted him and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty, I hope your majesty will punish me for not doing a good job."
It is the fault of the empress that the concubines of the imperial concubines fell into the water under her eyes. Yan Hongfeng took a look at the queen and said, "I can't blame you for this. You've always managed the harem well. It's just an accident."
It's hard to say whether it's an accident or a conspiracy. But the queen can't be blamed for this. But someone has to come out and take responsibility for it. Yan Hongfeng flashed his cold eyes and said, "which palace member served at that time? How can you let the jade beauty fall into the lake
Even his own master can't serve him well. Such a palace man should die.
The story of the jade beauty has long frightened the palace people to look pale. What's more, the emperor asked in such a harsh voice. Even if she knelt down and kept kowtowing for mercy, she served her closely, but she watched her fall into the water and slide. Even if she died ten thousand times, it was not enough to offset her fault.
The emperor glanced at her and said in a cold voice, "tell me the truth. What was the situation at that time? How can the jade beauty fall into the lake
Listening to the emperor's question, the queen gave Zheng Mei Mei a glance without a trace. She stood on the side arrogantly and did not seem to think that it had anything to do with her.
The palace man looked up at the beauty of Zheng, and then said in fear: "my Lord, at the beginning of the new year, the beauty came to the palace of Kunning to pay New Year's greetings to her mother. Unexpectedly, she made her angry and pushed her down the lake."
"You're talking nonsense." Hearing this, Zheng Meili retorted angrily, "I never pushed her. You are a cheap maid. Don't slander me."
When the empress saw that Zheng Meili, who had just returned her pride, was like a shrew, she wanted to rush to beat the palace lady. She quickly let the mammy beside her pull her away. "What's the decency of you to make a big noise in front of your majesty?"
She was not sensible. She dared to be shrewd in front of the emperor. The empress showed a sullen look and secretly warned beauty Zheng with her eyes.
Zheng Meili was so angry that she knelt down in front of Yan Hongfeng, squeezed out two tears, and cried, "the emperor, I am wronged. Please ask the emperor to make decisions for my wife."
Beauty Zheng kneels down to beg for mercy. As an aunt, Princess Zheng should help to intercede. "Your Majesty, Zheng Meili is straightforward and will not hurt others. Please see clearly."
Yan Hongfeng looks down at Zheng Meiren, who is full of grievances. She is young and charming. Although she talks and does things a little bit willful, she can arouse men's desire for protection. The emperor dotes on her very much. However, recently, she was forbidden by the Empress Dowager and punished to copy the Scriptures. The emperor has no way but to favor the jade beauty promoted by the queen. The jade beauty has a soft temper Nuo, a shy person, arouses the emperor's interest in a short time, but also feels boring as time goes by. If she was not lucky enough to be pregnant with a dragon seed, the emperor would have forgotten her for a long time.
Zheng Meili sobbed in a low voice. Her beautiful apricot eyes were full of tears, and she looked pitiful to me. The emperor could not help but feel a little sad. Her eyes coldly swept the trembling palace man and said, "are you sure you saw Zheng Meili pushing the jade beauty down the lake?"
What does this mean? People who understand it will know it. The queen sneers at her. She is really a good way to let the emperor favor her so much.
The palace man was frightened by the emperor's majesty. She kowtowed in a hurry, but still insisted that it was beauty Zheng who pushed the jade beauty down the lake.
Your majesty, this is not the case. Beauty is vilified. Please be aware of it. " The maid in the palace, who was waiting for beauty Zheng, knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, the fact is that the jade beauty satirized the beauty and was punished for copying the Scriptures. The beauty spoke back. For a moment, she was angry and pushed her. As a result, she did not stand firm and fell into the lake."
The maid kept kowtowing, saying that she was deeply in love.
Would jade beauty speak out to satirize beauty Zheng? The Queen's lips raised a sneer, on the soft like a sheep jade beauty? Is she wrong about jade beauty, or is she overestimating Zheng Meiren? Her eyes flashed gently from the young and beautiful face of Zheng Meiren, and then quietly looked at the emperor's expression.
In that case, why didn't you say it at first? "The empress Phoenix eyes a congealed, coldly glanced at the palace people, turned to the emperor and said," Your Majesty, I think this matter has yet to be verified. It's better to confine beauty Zheng to the Jiaofang hall first, and then make a decision after the matter is clear, so as to give the jade beauty an account. "
Yan Hongfeng thought for a moment and nodded, "let's deal with it like this."
The queen immediately ordered the people of the palace to take Miss Zheng down. However, no matter what she wanted to do, she immediately started to make a fuss, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged. I beg your majesty to uphold justice for my wife, your majesty..." Beauty Zheng cried to the emperor with tears in her eyes.An old and experienced mother immediately put her hand over her mouth when she saw that her niece had been taken away, so she knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, this must not be the work of beauty Zheng. Please be aware of it..."
After struggling for a while, Zheng Meili suddenly fainted, and then there was a flurry. The queen asked the imperial physician to diagnose Zheng Meili's pulse and see what kind of demon she was doing. However, this diagnosis diagnosed that she was pregnant for nearly two months. At this time, it was impossible to ban the foot.
after leaving the palace, Shen Jingli and a group of servants and wives headed for the direction of the carriage When the door was closed, Mu Chen reached out and hugged him, saying that Princess Zheng was troubling you.
his eyes flashed with cold, and he remembered the incident in his heart.
When Shen Jingli looked at him, he suddenly understood that he was afraid that he had already bought the people in the palace. He should always pay attention to his safety, so as not to be pulled apart by the wolves and tigers in the palace. Shen Jingli felt very happy when he thought of him worrying about himself all the time.
"Let's just listen to her lip service." He didn't pay attention to him at all. He was the prince of Nanping. No matter how she thought of him, she had to worry about the emperor's face. If she didn't do it properly, she might kill herself. He believed that Princess Zheng still had some knowledge.
Even so, Mu Chen looked at him with deep eyes. No one could bully the people he put on the top of his heart.
Seeing his cold eyes, Shen Jingli knew that he must be angry. He reached out and touched his face. His head leaned over and rubbed it to show his favor. "There's no need to be angry about this. Zheng Meili pushed the jade beauty down the lake, causing her to slide her fetus. The Zheng family is afraid that some of them have a headache."
It's a big crime to murder the emperor's heir. If it is found to be intentional murder, the Zheng family will lose a layer of skin.
"It's not so simple. Although Princess Zheng is not smart, some old foxes in Zheng's family are not vegetarian." There was a flash of cold light in Mu Chen's eyes. It came too suddenly, and there was something strange about it. It was not as simple as it seemed.
Sure enough, not long after they returned to Yang's residence, King Jing sent for news of the palace. "Is Zheng Meili pregnant?" What a coincidence? It's like planning for a long time.
Shen Jingli holds hot tea and looks at Mu Chen in dismay. Is Zheng Meili pregnant? But also so coincidentally in the jade beauty sliding fetus this day was diagnosed, this time, the palace can have some trouble.
Mu Chen's face was very plain, and he did not worry about it. He said softly, "if you are pregnant, do you still have to see if you can be born?"
There are not a few imperial concubines pregnant with dragon seeds in the Imperial Palace, but there are not many royal heirs who really survive. Even if they are lucky enough to be born, there are many early days when they are young. It's a place where people eat people and don't vomit bones. Does the Zheng family really think that they can cover the sky by themselves?
This is really overbearing. Shen Jingli couldn't help laughing. "His highness King Jing doesn't feel anxious. Wanzhen makes Zheng Mei have a son, and the status of Zheng family in the imperial court is more stable."
"If she does have a son, it may be more beneficial to the king." Mu Chen raised his lips and drank a cup of tea with pleasure.
Shen Jingli rationalized the interest relationship, and instantly understood the deep meaning of Mu Chen's words. King Jing Jing was abolished as Prince, but the emperor has not yet established a prince. If Zheng Mei gives birth to a prince, she may want to send her son to the throne. Her father and brother are likely to give up the third prince and support her and her son. The Zheng family is likely to fight against each other.
The third prince's wings are full, but hope is not greater?
"It depends on what general Zheng wants." Mu Chen gave a deep smile.
Shen Jingli looked at the smile on his lips. He felt a thrilling murderous spirit. He felt that Mu Chen seemed to be hiding something. He opened his mouth and didn't ask. Mu Chen didn't want to worry him, so he pretended that he didn't know.
"in the afternoon, do you want to go back to Mu's house to pay a new year's visit?"
"No Mu Chen has not opened his mouth, just entered the door of Mu Jin on a rebuff, "don't spoil my mood for the new year."
Mu Chen's eyebrows are light and his eyes are deep. It seems that he is thinking about something. After a long time, he said that he would go to Ximu house to see the third grandfather. "
The old master of Ximu house is the third younger brother of Mu Chen's grandfather. According to the seniority, Mu Chen and Mu Jin have to call him "third grandfather".
Originally, Mu Jin, who had a bad face, immediately showed a clever smile and said happily, "can't I go out and play with sixteen elder brother?"
I don't know why? Shen Jingli suddenly thinks of ningguofu and rongguofu in a dream of Red Mansions. They are two families. They feel like a big play.
"What kind of new year's gifts are to be prepared?" "Sister in law, don't worry, my brother must have been ready for it." But Xun Mu Jin's mood was pleasant. :
