There was a suffocating silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The servants lowered their heads and tried their best to reduce their presence. Only Eunuch Shen dared to comfort the angry emperor at this time.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Eunuch Shen said in a low voice: "The noble concubine has suffered some grievances. In the future, you will be able to understand the Emperor's painstaking efforts."
Emperor Long'an said nothing.
No one knows Concubine Cao's temper better than Emperor Long'an.
Today's incident was most likely initiated by Concubine Cao. The Crown Princess refused to give in and bowed her head. The Crown Prince protected the Crown Princess wholeheartedly. In the eyes of everyone, Concubine Cao became the one who was bullied and humiliated.
He didn't want to cause chaos in the palace, so he sternly scolded Concubine Cao.
His health is getting worse day by day, and I don't know how many more years it can last. In the future, Cao Guifei, the King of Han, and his son will have to live under the hands of the crown prince and concubine. Now that they are making trouble, they will not be the ones who suffer in the future?
However, Concubine Cao may not be able to understand his painstaking efforts. She felt aggrieved and depressed.
As the emperor, you can't always have your way.
Emperor Long'an sighed deeply and said to Eunuch Shen: "Go to the East Palace on my behalf and pass on my instructions. Let the prince and princess feel at ease."
Eunuch Shen respectfully accepted the order.
As soon as the three baptismal rites were over, the prince led his grandson to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to plead guilty.
The concubine was lying on the bed, so she couldn't show her face. It would be good if the concubine opened her mouth to speak without irritating anyone. It would be better if she came less often.
"Father, your minister contradicted the imperial concubine in public today, causing the empress to lose her etiquette. It is all your fault." The prince knelt down, with a look of shame on his face: "Father, you did not blame your minister, and even asked Eunuch Shen to come, my minister If you are unfilial, please punish me."
Zhu Yun knelt beside the prince: "What happened today was all caused by the mother and concubine's love for the child. The emperor's grandfather should punish his grandson!"
Emperor Long'an loved Zhu Yun the most and immediately said: "It's not your father and son's fault. Stop kneeling and stand up to speak."
Only then did the prince and his son stand up.
Emperor Long'an said again: "With more women, there will be more gossips. I have already scolded Ms. Cao, and she will definitely not dare to find fault with the Crown Princess again in the future."
The prince was moved but also felt guilty and blamed himself: "I thanked my father. Speaking of which, this matter is all my fault. It was my improper handling. I will go to Ganquan Palace later to make amends to the noble concubine."
Anyway, not a word about the Crown Princess.
Emperor Long'an was not in a position to criticize his daughter-in-law. He glanced at the prince and said calmly: "This matter has passed and there is no need to mention it again. You don't need to go to Cao's place. I will have someone send some silk and satin to comfort him. .”
You protect your princess, and I can't be too ruthless to my own woman.
The prince didn't know whether he heard the implication of Emperor Long'an's words, so he agreed in shame.
The father and son resigned and returned to the East Palace.
Zhu Yun held it in for a long time, and only then said angrily: "What happened today was clearly caused by Concubine Cao. The child is so young, it's a shame she was able to do it."
Half a day passed before the red marks on the child's face dissipated. If Concubine Cao had been more vicious, she would have dug her long nails directly into the child's eyes...it's scary to think about it.
A cold light flashed in the prince's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "When you are in the East Palace, right and wrong are indispensable."
After a pause, he continued: "It seems that the East Palace has the upper hand in this matter. In fact, it is quite disadvantageous for us. Your imperial grandfather reprimanded Concubine Cao, and he may not blame the East Palace for being too strong. In the future, you should act more cautiously." careful."
Zhu Yun looked solemn and nodded.
Then, I heard my biological father warn me: "When I meet your mother and concubine later, don't talk nonsense."
In short, in the eyes of the father, nothing is as important as the mother and concubine.
Zhu Yun had been used to it since he was a child and nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, when he saw the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince smiled warmly and said, "I just went to see my father. My father didn't blame us at all and even scolded Concubine Cao. You don't have to take this matter to heart."
The princess cheered up: "Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
The prince smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
This is true.
The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief: "From now on, she will never touch a finger on the child again."
Zhu Yun was thinking about Yuan Min, so he quickly excused himself and went to the dormitory.
Yuan Min was weak and pale after giving birth.
There was such a big commotion today, but it was concealed for a while. In the evening, it finally reached Yuan Min's ears.
Yuan Min looked at Zhu Yun worriedly: "Is this really over?"
Zhu Yun sat beside the bed, held Yuan Min's hand, and whispered: "As long as the imperial grandfather faces our East Palace, Concubine Cao and her son will not be able to cause trouble."
Yuan Min sighed softly: "I'm afraid if the wind blows too much on the pillow, the emperor's grandfather will gradually change his mind."
This is the biggest worry.
…
This storm passed so quietly.
Everyone knew what they were talking about in private, but in front of the prince and grandson, no one said anything.
Concubine Cao fell ill on the second day.
This illness is not fake.
Concubine Cao has been going smoothly for so many years, but the last time she suffered a big blow was when she failed to establish a queen last year. In order to compensate for Concubine Cao, Emperor Long'an promoted Ganquan Palace everywhere in the past six months. Concubine Cao became more powerful in the harem than before, and she became more and more arrogant.
This time, Concubine Cao was severely hit. She cried all night that night and had a high fever the next morning, unable to survive the illness.
After appreciating the silk and satin, Emperor Long'an also rewarded her with tonics. He also personally came to Ganquan Palace to visit the patient.
Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness.
Concubine Cao struggled to get up and stay down to thank her.
Emperor Long'an said warmly: "You are sick now, so you should lie down and recuperate. Recuperating your body will be the greatest comfort to me."
Concubine Cao burst into tears when she heard these kind words. Emperor Long'an sighed secretly and felt relieved before leaving.
As soon as Emperor Long'an left, the palace people gathered around the bed.
"As soon as the empress fell ill, the emperor came to Ganquan Palace. It can be seen that the empress is always favored."
"That's exactly what you said. Your Majesty, please cheer up and take good care of yourself as soon as possible, so that the Emperor will not worry about you."
"Our empress is the first in this harem."
There was no joy on Cao Guifei's face, and she lay down while being served by the palace servants: "You all stand down, I want to be alone in peace and quiet."
After the palace guests had retired, Concubine Cao was lying on the couch alone, with a hint of resentment on her face.
If Emperor Long'an really cared about her, he should punish the East Palace and support her to save face. Even if it didn't work, he should let the Crown Princess come to Ganquan Palace to plead guilty and make amends.
What does it mean to be like this now? When she is just a kitten or puppy, just throwing some food around and asking her to be grateful?
She completely understands now.
Queen Mother Cao is unreliable.
Emperor Long'an is also unreliable.
If you want to live in glory, you can only rely on your son.
A sharp cold light flashed in Concubine Cao's eyes.
