Chapter 177: Looking at the important situation with admiration
When Shang Qiyan saw that the emperor was angry, he said, "I will go out and have a look to see if I can persuade Concubine Fu to go back."
The emperor didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Shang Qiyan walked out and saw Concubine Fu kneeling at the foot of the steps.
He stepped forward to help him and said: "My queen, get up quickly. It's such a cold day. You can't freeze to death.
If you believe me, the emperor will make the decision for the fifth prince."
"Eunuch Shang, how is your majesty's holy body? Is there any food available?" Concubine Fu really followed Shang Qiyan's hand and stood up.
When Shang Qiyan saw her getting up, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Mother Lao is thinking about me, everything is fine, Your Majesty."
"Mr. Shang, can you help me? I want to see His Majesty." Concubine Fu said.
"This...I'm afraid it won't work," Shang Qiyan replied hesitantly, "As you know, the emperor is upset at this time and no one is seeing him.
According to the old slave, it is better that you disappear. The fifth prince is not only your son, but also His Majesty’s son!”
"Eunuch Shang, I know why you stopped me, and I also know why the emperor doesn't want to see me." Concubine Fu smiled, "I didn't come to see the emperor to plead for mercy, let alone to cause trouble.
You just said that the fifth prince is not only my son, but also the son of His Majesty. But I want to say that the emperor is not only the emperor of our mother and son, but also the emperor of the whole world.
This matter has caused great difficulty to the Emperor, so I can no longer embarrass the Emperor."
"Empress, you..." Shang Qiyan never expected that Concubine Fu would say such words, "Then you want to..."
"Didn't I say that? I just want to make it less difficult for the emperor." Concubine Fu smiled, "So please help me, father-in-law."
"Your Majesty knows the general situation so well, how dare I not do my best? Please wait a moment, and I will go in and report." Shang Qiyan also looked at Concubine Fu with admiration.
Originally, she was just like everyone else, just treating Fu Fei as a good-natured person who knew how to tolerate.
Shang Qiyan bowed his body and walked in. The emperor was rubbing his eyebrows. He thought he had sent Concubine Fu away, so he said, "Come here and massage her."
"Your Majesty, why don't you meet Concubine Fu?" Shang Qiyan said with a smile on his face, "Just talk and relax, and your head will stop hurting."
The emperor looked at him blankly, not expecting him to say that.
But Shang Qiyan was not a person who did not know the importance of things, so the emperor did not get angry.
"Then let her come in." The emperor sighed.
Concubine Fu was then invited in, slowly knelt down, and paid her respects to the emperor.
"Get up! Why do you need to perform such a big gift?" Although the emperor's face was not very pretty, his tone was quite gentle.
"Some words must be said while kneeling." Concubine Fu couldn't get up, "I know that Your Majesty is worried and upset about things in Longxi.
Although the harem should not be involved in politics, the fifth child is my son after all, and I, as a mother, should express my opinion."
"What do you want to express?" the emperor asked.
"Although I am deep in the palace, I know that people are angry outside.
If this matter can be handled properly, the people will have peace of mind and the country will be safe.
If not, it will definitely leave poison and cause serious harm!" Concubine Fu looked serious and upright.
"Do you really think so?" the emperor asked her, "If it is found that there is something wrong with Lao Wu, do you still agree that it should be dealt with fairly?"
"I am not trying to make progress by retreating, but I sincerely demand strict investigation and strict governance. As a mother, who wants her son to break the law?
But if he really made a big mistake as those people said, how can I tolerate him?
The eternal legacy of our ancestors above us and your majesty’s holy virtue cannot be tarnished, and we have a fair and just heart below, and our subjects cannot rely on them in vain.
As a prince, he should abide by the laws and orders of the dynasty. How can he take bribes and pervert the law to prey on the common people?!
I sincerely request that if this is indeed the case, he must be severely punished. Not only will his status as a prince be removed and his property confiscated, but also his title and title will be removed and he will be thrown into the cold palace."
"Why is this? If he really did something he shouldn't have done, just punishing him is enough." The emperor never thought about doing anything to Concubine Fu from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty is merciful, and I am grateful. But this matter has attracted worldwide attention, and there is no room for ambiguity.
If he really did those things, it was because of his status as a prince.
This is more hurtful to the people than ordinary officials who are corrupt and bend the law.
We, mother and son, are all accomplished by His Majesty, and we should be pious and vigilant to share your worries.
How can we rely on His Majesty’s family members and instead do something scandalous that undermines His Majesty’s sanctity?!
Even if I don’t know about these things, I am his mother. If my son makes a mistake, how can my mother stay out of it?
I am willing to be punished as well, as long as it benefits the country a little, I will never regret it!"
From beginning to end, Concubine Fu looked calm, neither angry nor resentful.
The emperor was greatly moved after hearing this. He stood up, walked over to help her up, and said, "I thought you would come crying and begging for mercy, but I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous. I underestimated you."
"Your Majesty was so complimentary, I feel extremely regretful now. I just hope it's not too late to make amends." Concubine Fu said sincerely.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth. If Lao Wu was wrongly accused, this will definitely clear his name." Concubine Fu's sensible thinking and taking into account the overall situation made the emperor feel a lot more comfortable.
At the same time, he also hopes that the fifth prince is innocent, at least not as unbearable as some people say.
"Your Majesty, you must also take care of your dragon body. Daxia can survive without anyone, but it cannot be without you." Concubine Fu said softly, "I have resigned."
The sixth prince hurried to Jiaolan Palace and said to Concubine Xian: "Fifth brother must have been wronged. Concubine, you must help him!"
Concubine Xian was puzzled: "Who do you think I am? Even the queen dare not comment on such a matter. What do I mean?"
"But Fifth Brother is alone, we always need some help." The Sixth Prince said anxiously, "Are we just going to watch helplessly like this?"
"Do you think I don't want to help? But the emperor has not seen anyone now, and the queen is also claiming to be ill. Do you want me to go to the previous court to argue with those ministers?" Concubine Xian looked at her son helplessly.
The sixth prince was about to burst into tears: "I am so useless! I can't think of any solution."
"What's the use of just being anxious? It's useless to worry yourself." Concubine Xian couldn't help but sigh, "I'll go to Sister Fu Concubine first to have a look. Even if I can't help you, don't make people feel cold.
”
Who would have thought that when Concubine Xian arrived at Concubine Fu, she was told that Concubine Fu was not in the palace and had gone to see the emperor.
Concubine Xian had no choice but to come back.
Not long after Concubine Fu left, Yu Guming came to Furong Palace.
He came to see Xue Hengzhao.
"I...I came to you for advice." Yu Guming got straight to the point, "Now only...only I can come in and out...in and out of the palace freely.
If there's anything... if there's anything I should do, just... just say it."
