Xichen closed her eyes tiredly, Shen Huan waved her hand, and the concubines retreated one by one. Everyone's face was sad, because once the emperor died, as the former emperor's concubines, if they had any heirs, they could stay. If you don't have one in the palace, you can only spend the rest of your life in a nunnery outside the palace.
Except for the queen, those who have children in the palace are Chen Xiurong, Shungui concubine and another low-status concubine who raised the emperor's second daughter. The rest, including the young master who was just drafted this year, are all going to become nuns. What do you want them to do? How can I not be sad?
Chen Xiurong hurried back to Yonghe Palace, dismissed all the palace people, and stood alone in front of the second prince's carriage, his hands trembling slightly, and he muttered: "Fang'er, my Fang'er, your father is about to go, he You are about to leave us behind! It doesn't matter, but you are not the one who ascends the throne! What should I do then, my son! Since you were in my belly, I have been looking forward to you sitting on that throne! But now , but will be taken away by the queen's son! Just because he is the son of that bitch? Because he is the legitimate son? Wei Niang is not willing to give in! Not willing to give in! Wei Niang will not let you be inferior to others, never! "
She took a deep breath, walked outside, called her personal maid Qiu Ju, and said to her: "Call Xiaoyu, I have something to say to her."
Qiu Ju asked in confusion: "Xiaoyu? Is this Xiaoyu from Chen Palace?"
Chen Xiurong said angrily: "Besides this Xiaoyu, are there any other Xiaoyus?"
Qiu Ju hurriedly said: "Yes, I will go right now!" Although she was wondering, why did the empress want to find the servants in Chen Palace? If there is anything, just let yourself do it! Before she walked a few steps, she heard When Chen Xiurong stopped her again, she turned around and asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"
Chen Xiurong said: "Don't go now, wait until noon and then go quietly, don't let anyone see you!"
Qiu Ju became even more confused. What secret matter was there that had to wait until lunch time? Could it be something shameful in being so secretive? No matter how many questions she had, she didn't dare to ask. She only waited until noon. Go call Xiaoyu when you arrive.
After noon, Shen Huan was giving medicine to Xichen. Cui Shanggong was outside asking to see her. Shen Huan went out to see her. Cui Shanggong approached her and whispered: "Your Majesty asked Wei Chen to send someone to monitor Yonghe Palace. Someone came just now." The report said that Qiu Ju from Yonghe Palace called Xiaoyu from our palace over."
"Xiaoyu?" Shen Huan frowned, but she couldn't imagine who it was, "What does she serve?"
Cui Shanggong said: "She is in charge of female celebrities in the room of His Highness the Third Prince."
Shen Huan suddenly became suspicious and ordered: "Let Qingyue keep an eye on this Xiaoyu. If there is any abnormal movement, take it down immediately! Over at Yonghe Palace, don't let down your vigilance!"
Cui Shanggong nodded: "I understand,"
Shen Huan returned to Xichen with worries, and Xichen asked: "You look bad, has something happened?"
Shen Wen forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, it's just... I feel a little uneasy. I'm afraid something big will happen tonight."
Xichen held her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, nothing big will happen. I have ordered the nine gates to be under martial law. There will be no chaos outside the palace. As for the palace, I have sent Wei Zifeng to Chen Palace." Yes, you stay here tonight and stay with me."
"Xichen..." Shen Huan called softly and leaned on his chest, "I hope I can spend this night safely."
The corners of Xichen's lips curled up and she said: "It will be absolutely foolproof."
As soon as it got dark, Cui Shanggong sent a message to Chen Palace that the Queen would stay at Qian Palace tonight and would not come back for dinner. Everyone watched the door and went to bed after dinner.
Qingyue stretched out, yawned and said, "I'll go eat quickly, so I can look at His Highness after eating."
Chun'er smiled and said: "I've never seen you so tired. Go quickly. I'll help you look after His Highness first."
Qingyue smiled and said to her: "Good sister, I will come as soon as I go."
So, Qingyue went to eat first, and Chun'er went to the nursery to see Zhao'er. However, not long after she sat down, she felt dizzy, tilted her head, and fell to the ground.
Zhao'er is still sleeping soundly, and no one is awake in the whole room.
Xiaoyu walked in quietly at this moment, glanced at Chun'er on the ground, came to Zhao'er, and whispered: "Third Highness, don't blame me, I am also following orders, right..." I'm sorry..." As she said that, she grabbed Zhao'er's quilt with both hands, closed her eyes, and fiercely covered Zhao'er's face.
However, before she exerted her strength, she felt a stabbing pain on the back of her hand. She hurriedly withdrew her hand and saw an inexplicable hole on the back of her hand. She let out a low cry, but at the same time, she heard someone behind her shout loudly: "What are you doing! "
Xiaoyu turned around in horror and saw Cui Shanggong, Xiangming and Qingyue standing at the door. At this time, Chun'er also got up from the ground, glared at her and said, "Let's see where you run this time!"
"you……"
"Hmph, the Queen has long expected that someone will come to murder the third prince, so she ordered us to wait here. I can't believe that you are so vicious-hearted that you won't even let such a young child go!"
Xiaoyu looked at them and suddenly retreated to the cradle, picked up Zhaoer and raised her up high, saying coldly: "Don't come over here, otherwise, I will throw him to death!"
The four of them were stunned. At this time, the wet nurse came over from outside, holding a child in her arms, and said: "The Third Highness is here!"
Cui Shanggong hurriedly hugged him and looked at him carefully, and said with relief: "Yes, this is His Highness the Third Highness."
"That person in the stroller is..." Qingyue looked at the child who was lifted up by Xiaoyu in confusion.
Xiaoyu was also stunned. While she was dazed, a man fell from the sky and quickly held the child in her arms. He turned around and fell aside and said coldly: "This is the little princess of the Tenth Prince's family. You don't even have a man or a woman." I can’t tell the difference. It’s a good thing your master asked you to do this! I think he asked you to die!”
When everyone looked, the person who came was none other than Wei Zifeng. Xiaoyu knew that she would not escape death, so she turned around and hit the pillar. Wei Zifeng had probably expected it, so he rushed over and reached out to touch her acupuncture point. She was all over the body. One moment, he fell down
Cui Shanggong said happily: "Why is the general here?"
As Wei Zifeng spoke, he handed the little princess to them: "Your Majesty is still worried. If this person succeeds, the little princess will be in danger. How can the Tenth Prince give up?" He glanced at Xiaoyu and said, "We'd better get there quickly." Your Majesty, please come back! He and the Queen must be very worried."
"Exactly!"
Immediately, someone came to drag Xiaoyu out. Instead of going to Qian Gong, he dragged her directly to Gong Zhengsi and tortured her.
Everyone went to Qian Palace together. Cui Shanggong asked Wei Zifeng: "If I tell the emperor about this now, will the emperor's illness..."
Wei Zifeng said calmly: "Shang Gong, don't worry, the Emperor is fine."
"Is your Majesty okay?" Cui Shanggong was stunned.
Wei Zifeng stopped talking, and Cui Shanggong suddenly understood - the illness was so coincidental and the arrangement was so careful, it turned out to be no coincidence!
Disappointment suddenly welled up in my heart. What a pity. This world was almost falling into Xiao's hands.
