Chapter 312: Sadomasochism Deeply Loves Your Sister (Seventeen)
"Mom is right! Our Huo family has always been loyal and sincere to His Majesty."
Second Uncle Huo said with a smile, "The Huo family is also upright and will never deceive you!"
The memorial must be presented, and it must be done openly and with great fanfare!
As a result, Emperor Qing in the palace and the people in the capital soon learned the news——
The little girl of the Huo family returned to her hometown to celebrate the birthday of her elders. On the way back to Beijing, she kindly saved a young man who was suffering from apathy.
The young man has an unparalleled appearance and a noble temperament. He is no ordinary person at first glance.
Miss Huo is indeed a good and kind-hearted woman. Her emphasis is on "doing good deeds to the end and sending them to the Buddha and the West", so she helps the young man find his family.
After searching around, I found that the situation of this young man was quite similar to that of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince is the noble son of the Tian family and cannot tolerate any slighting.
Even if it is just "suspected", we should handle it with caution.
The Huo family had always been loyal to Emperor Qing and did not dare to do anything without authorization, so they immediately reported it to Lord Ming...
Emperor Qing:......
Emperor Qing was so moved that he smashed the cup at hand.
In fact, at this time, Emperor Qing had already received the news sent back by the Feng Dynasty envoy.
At first, Emperor Qing was sad when he just saw the "bad news".
As mentioned earlier, although Emperor Qing paid more attention to his own rights and interests, he also had a soft spot for the princes.
They are all one's own flesh and blood, all biological, not picked up.
A good son accidentally fell off a cliff and saw neither life nor death. As a father, how could he not feel distressed and sad?
However, before he could get over this energy and think about how to appease Concubine Dong, Uncle Huo's memorial came.
Broken leg?
Forget the past?
None of this is important. What is important is that this little brat returned to the Qing Dynasty on his own initiative!
The little loving heart of a father was instantly taken over by the suspicion, coldness, etc. that belong to a king.
Emperor Qing's instinct was to start conspiracy theories——
The broken leg may be true, after all, he fell from such a high cliff.
However, Emperor Qing had doubts about amnesia.
Forgot everything?
Don’t you even know your last name?
This, how is this possible?
"This is clearly the plan of that little beast! He didn't want to go to Feng Dynasty, but he was afraid that I would scold him if he returned to Qing Dynasty rashly, so he deliberately pretended to be crazy!"
Anyone who is an emperor has a dirty heart.
And for people with a dirty heart, everything they see is dirty.
Emperor Qing didn't even have to look for examples. There are records in history books of people deliberately pretending to deceive the world.
What is a forgotten memory?
Humph, the King of Yue was even willing to lick feces in order to win the trust of King Wu!
"It's just a matter of pretending to be crazy, but he actually went to the Huo family!"
Emperor Qing became suspicious and regarded everything as a conspiracy.
What an unexpected encounter.
Why is the Huo girl so kind-hearted?
Emperor Qing didn't believe a word of it.
Where are there so many accidents in this world?
How "arrogant" are noble ladies from aristocratic families. How could they easily save a strange man for no reason?
If the Ninth Prince came back alone, Emperor Qing would be angry, but he would not think too sinister about him.
After all, he fell off the cliff "accidentally" and maybe almost died.
It is human nature for a noble young prince to suddenly suffer such a hardship and feel fearful and turn back midway.
But now the Huo family is involved.
There are 200,000 frontier troops, and the Huo family and his sons are all good at leading the troops in the war.
It seems reasonable that Emperor Qing would think too much and engage in various conspiracy theories.
However, Huo still acted like a "pure minister" and deliberately handed over the memorial at the court meeting in front of all the civil and military officials.
Even if Emperor Qing wants to get angry, it seems inappropriate——
In addition to being an emperor, he is also a father.
The Ninth Prince is no ordinary prince, he is his "loved son" born to his favorite Concubine Dong Guifei.
Regardless of whether the courtiers know the true identity of the beloved son, on the surface, the Ninth Prince is the beloved son.
Emperor Qing had doted on Dong's mother and son for more than ten years, and now a person suspected of being the Ninth Prince was injured and lost his memory. Emperor Qing was worried both emotionally and rationally.
As for the Huo family, as the loyal ministers who were suspected of saving the Ninth Prince, Emperor Qing had the dignity of an emperor. He didn't need to regard the Huo family as his saviors, but he couldn't regard them as enemies either.
Emperor Qing:......
Made!
The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become!
What's even more frustrating is that he couldn't get angry in the previous court, and he couldn't get angry when he returned to the harem!
Even if I threw a cup, it was because my hand slipped accidentally rather than to vent my anger.
"Send a few people to pick up the little girl from the Huo family and carefully check the identity of the young man."
Emperor Qing vented his anger secretly and quickly adjusted his mood.
He called the leader of the embroidered clothes messengers and asked him to take several embroidered clothes messengers to "greet" him.
The commander was Emperor Qing's closest confidant, so it goes without saying that he was loyal to him.
Moreover, as the spy chief of the Qing Dynasty, his sensitivity and vigilance are also top-notch.
The key is that when it comes to investigation and evidence collection, the leader of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy is professional!
"Yes! I humbly obey my orders!"
The commander bowed and responded. Seeing that Emperor Qing had no other instructions, he quickly left and went down to make arrangements.
Watching the commander's back disappear, Emperor Qing's eyes turned dark.
Suddenly, he asked, "Where is the imperial concubine?"
The matter of the "Ninth Prince" had already started in the previous dynasty.
The former dynasty and the harem have always been inextricably linked.
Everything going on in the court could not be hidden from the harem.
The only difference is probably a matter of time.
"The Queen is sick, so she specially asked the Imperial Concubine to 'attend to the illness'."
The head chamberlain responded carefully.
"Oh, I see!"
Emperor Qing was not too surprised when he heard such a reply.
Obviously, "waiting for illness" is not a rare thing for Concubine Dong Guifei.
Although it was said outside that Concubine Dong Guifei was Emperor Qing's most beloved concubine.
She was so popular in the palace that even the queen wanted to shun her.
But in fact, the queen is the queen, and no matter how "noble" the concubine is, she is just a concubine.
One is a wife and the other is a concubine. The legitimate wife is "sick", so as a concubine, Concubine Dong Guifei should serve her.
Oh, by the way, in addition to the queen, there is also a queen mother in the palace.
These two are both princesses of the Yu Dynasty, and the Queen Mother and the Empress are also direct aunts and nephews.
Xu has a miraculous blood relationship, and the Queen Mother and Empress always get sick three to five to six or eight times a year.
Whenever the aunt and nephew were sick, they would ask Concubine Dong Guifei to attend to the illness.
After more than ten years, not to mention Emperor Qing, even Concubine Dong Gui was probably "used" to it.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Concubine Dong coughed a few times and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
Her beautiful face was a little pale at the moment.
Holding back a cough, her slender figure was trembling slightly.
"Empress! You are not in good health, so don't serve the Queen."
Concubine Dong's confidant, the eldest maid, was holding her arm and accidentally touched her hand, which was cold.
The eldest palace maid was worried and felt inexplicable grief and anger, "We all know whether the Queen is sick or not."
Empress Yuan was just jealous, taking advantage of her status as empress and the Queen Mother's favoritism to deliberately try to tease Concubine Dong.
"No talking! No nonsense!"
Concubine Dong Gui finally managed to survive this wave of coughing. She ignored her heavy breathing and turned her head to scold: "Are there any more rules?"
"Your Majesty is ill, and as a concubine, I should go and serve her!"
This is the rule!
Yes, she also owes Queen Yuan.
She came from a humble background, but was deeply favored by Emperor Qing.
He has been honored and favored for more than ten years.
Emperor Qing treated their mother and son very well, and Concubine Dong Gui also had to consider Emperor Qing——
Your Majesty has already suffered too much infamy because of her.
The queen mother's anger and sadness, the queen's grievance and sadness, as well as the courtiers' advice and impeachment.
Your Majesty has endured so many storms for her.
She already has His Majesty's favor, and she can no longer embarrass His Majesty.
Isn't it just to attend to an illness? Whether it is the Queen Mother or the Queen, they can only use some small tricks or use a few words to express their words.
I don’t dare to really shout and kill her!
Grand Palace Maid: ...I might as well give you a beating and a scolding.
A soft knife cuts flesh, which is the most painful.
This is not just one or two days, but one or two years!
But more than ten years!
The eldest maid has served Dong Guifei for almost ten years.
When she first came to the imperial concubine, she was as beautiful as a fairy.
The imperial concubine's body was not as weak as it is now.
Think about it, the imperial concubine is not a noble girl from a high-profile family, her family is just a small family.
It is said that before the imperial concubine leaves the palace, she still has to help with household chores.
As for people who work regularly, everyone knows that their bodies and bones are basically very healthy.
After entering the palace, the imperial concubine was well-dressed and well-fed, and she called upon her slaves and maids. After more than ten years of pampering, she became increasingly frail!
The eldest maid felt that the imperial concubine became like this because of the constant interactions between the empress dowager and the empress's Yuan family aunt and nephew.
"Yes! But your body -"
What the eldest maid was most worried about was Concubine Dong Guifei's health.
Don't think that Concubine Dong's actions were so fast that the eldest maid didn't notice her.
Her veil was already stained with blood!
Wow, Concubine Dong Gui is really ill, and she is very ill.
But the imperial concubine always hides it, not only from His Majesty, but also from the Ninth Prince.
In fact, when the Ninth Prince left the Qing Dynasty, the imperial concubine fell ill.
But she still held on to her body and sent the Ninth Prince away pretending to be fine!
Concubine Dong Gui is so kind. She is either considering His Majesty or the Ninth Prince.
She only refused to feel sorry for herself!
"My body is fine!"
Concubine Dong took a deep breath and tried her best to ignore the smell of rust in her mouth.
Her health is indeed not very good.
But, she couldn't make a fuss.
In addition to not wanting to embarrass His Majesty, Concubine Dong also wanted to do this for her own son.
Her mother's family was humble and could not help the Ninth Prince at all.
Concubine Dong Gui had never had any extravagant hopes for that supreme position. She only hoped that her son could be a wealthy and leisurely king.
It's a good idea to go to Fengchao to temporarily avoid the turmoil of Qingchao.
If the son can make some achievements, and his majesty thinks of her as a dying person, he will call the son back and grant him a royal title.
In this way, the son can live a prosperous life and have no worries about his descendants.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something's wrong! Something bad is going to happen! Something happened to the Ninth Prince!"
Just when Concubine Dong was comforting herself, she heard a piece of bad news...
