Chapter 1117 The emperor finally wants to eat meat
The Queen Mother was also shocked by the news, and she immediately analyzed the relationship in her mind.
She is a smart person, and has been immersed in the palace for half her life. How can she climb to her current position? What tricks have she not seen before?
Coupled with His Highness's gaffe just now, if she couldn't guess anything, he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
The Queen Mother's mind was buzzing now. She took a few deep breaths before she found her mind and asked in a deep voice: "Has your Majesty investigated clearly?"
The emperor was much calmer at this time and said: "Gu Lingran has already put that kid in jail. There are witnesses. I think he will confess soon."
His Highness the Tenth Prince breathed a sigh of relief, and his body that was tense due to tension also relaxed a lot.
As long as he hasn't been recruited yet, there is still room for change.
The Queen Mother also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes flashed, "After verification, I will not let you go lightly!"
She was no longer cut into pieces, and looked at His Highness with complicated eyes.
His Highness the Tenth Prince also said: "What the Queen Mother said is true! If there is anything that requires my brother to cooperate with the investigation, I will definitely tell you everything!"
He was kneeling on the ground, and others could not see his expression.
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor, her eyes sparkling, and her voice was pleading, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor's heart felt cold and he said: "Okay, if there is any need for the cooperation of the tenth emperor brother, I will ask Gu Lingran to come to the tenth emperor brother."
At this time, a eunuch reported: "The two queens from the east and west have arrived!"
The emperor said calmly: "Tenth Emperor brother, please get up quickly. You didn't instigate that kid. You don't need to blame yourself so much."
"Thank you, Brother Emperor!" His Royal Highness stood up, but did not sit down.
She stood there with a pale face, waiting for the two queens from the east and west to come in and give them gifts.
Liya and Queen Zhao walked in side by side, neither of them fighting for a single step.
Queen Liya of the East did not wear the Miao clothes covered with silver ornaments. She wore a fiery red palace dress.
The neckline of the clothes is embroidered with a spreading phoenix with golden silk thread, and the skirt is embroidered with golden auspicious clouds. It is embellished with gems and pearls, which is extremely gorgeous and noble.
A pair of calm and wise red phoenix eyes contain a smile. The phoenix luan in the center of the Lingyun bun holds a pearl in her mouth. The tassels under the pearl hang down gently, reflecting her magnificent face.
She held her head high and her chest high, and her aura from the inside out suppressed the Queen Zhao next to her.
Queen Zhao was wearing the queen's palace attire, with a long skirt, and a phoenix hairpin on her head, with dozens of golden filaments hanging down from the phoenix hairpin.
Compared with the queen-like Liya, she is more soft and delicate.
The palace officials and His Royal Highnesses presented gifts to the two queens, and then the two queens presented gifts to the emperor and the queen mother.
Liya sensitively sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace, looked at the emperor, bent her eyes, raised the corners of her lips, and revealed a sweet smile.
The Queen Mother had already adjusted her mood and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, just take a seat quickly."
Then, several concubines also came one after another, and there was another wave of greetings.
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with a smile, "Look at the two queens, and the concubines are so harmonious. I am really lucky to Dongming. It would be even better if I can give birth to an heir next year."
The emperor smiled lightly and said, "My son, I will work hard."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the two queens, and finally fell on Liya, saying: "After the family banquet is over, I will let Feng Luan Jin En drive to pick up Queen Dong."
The Fengluan Jinen Car was a car specially used to take the concubine to the emperor's palace when the emperor summoned him to visit him.
This means that he wants to favor Liya.
Liya was slightly surprised, and then felt a burst of joy, but she still managed to hold it in. She stood up with a blushing face and saluted the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A hint of sadness flashed across Queen Zhao's face, and she looked at the Queen Mother quietly.
The Queen Mother was also very happy and gave her a reassuring look: The emperor has found a concubine, and it doesn't matter who is the first. The most important thing is who gives birth to the prince first.
As a queen, Liya would not let her give birth to a prince.
Otherwise, if her son has the power of Miao Jiang and the witch doctor clan, and he gets the throne in the future, will he be considered Dongming’s Dongming or Miao Jiang’s?
The emperor saw the obvious frustration on Queen Zhao's face and said: "The Queen of the West will be in bed tomorrow."
Queen Zhao's eyes immediately lit up, and her face became radiant. She stood up and saluted: "I thank the Emperor for your kindness."
The Queen Mother smiled straight into her eyes, "Okay, great! The Ai family is not far away from becoming a grandmother!"
The two queens must go first and last, and they cannot sleep together. Liya has a higher status, so it is reasonable for her to sleep first, as long as she does not neglect Queen Zhao.
The other concubines were disappointed and happy at the same time. What was disappointing was that they were not the first to be favored. What was happy was that as long as the emperor favored the concubines, sooner or later it would be their turn.
Those two are queens, so it makes sense that they should be favored first.
The emperor is finally going to serve meat, which makes the family dinner at the end of the year more joyful.
At the same time, it also opened a new prelude to the competition for favor in the harem.
After the family banquet was over, the Queen Mother stayed with the Tenth Highness.
All the palace people were driven away, leaving only the mother and son.
The Queen Mother had a sullen face, feeling sad, disappointed, and heartbroken!
His Highness the Tenth Prince turned pale, and knelt on the ground with a bang. He walked up to the Queen Mother and burst out crying, "Mother, I am wrong! I have known it for a long time! Empress! Save your son!"
My Lord!"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes in disappointment and pain. She raised her hand and beat His Highness the Tenth Prince with hatred, "You treacherous son! That's your biological brother! Why are you so confused! How can you do it!"
His Royal Highness did not hide, and Queen Mother Ren vented her anger and cried: "Mother, I have known your mistake for a long time, and regretted it after taking the poison, but I dare not say it, because there is no antidote for the poison, wuwu
Woo..."
The Queen Mother beat her chest and cried loudly, "You are such a traitor! What kind of children did the Ai family bring up? My late emperor, why did you leave so early! Ugh..."
She didn't know that the late emperor was also the one who killed this good son, otherwise she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
His Highness the Tenth Prince's eyes flashed slightly, and he cried and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand, "Mother, please don't hurt yourself. It's because I'm unfilial and I've lost my mind for a while. You can beat me, beat me to death!"
"You! You!" The Queen Mother raised her hand, but seeing Her Majesty Tenth crying in tears, she did not slap her down after all.
He slapped the armrest of the chair hard, "Tell me, your imperial brother has loved you since you were a child. Why do you do this! Why? Ah?!"
After asking, she felt that she had asked nonsense.
Why else, just for a dragon chair!
But this child is only eleven years old. He has no foundation and dares to poison the emperor.
Do you think that if the emperor is gone, he, the emperor's biological brother, can ascend to the throne?
Although, she will definitely support her son.
But the emperor's throne is so stable because of the support of King Xuan. King Xuan will definitely not support one of his children to become the emperor. When the time comes, for the sake of Dongming's stability, he might as well become the emperor himself!
