When Yu Wenhao heard this, he was shocked and turned around and ran back. He saw the imperial grandmother lying in the arms of Concubine De, with a hairpin stuck in her chest. The clothes on her chest were soaked with blood.
Kill the Queen Mother?
He felt as if he was struck by lightning. For a moment, his mind went blank. He couldn't believe the scene in front of him. How treasonous was this?
I heard Concubine Xian's sad and angry roar. "I don't resent other people. I only resent you. As the daughter of the Su family, you turned your back on your relatives and ancestors. It's not a pity for you to die!"
Concubine Xian's move shocked everyone present. Princess Wenjing and a group of palace maids stepped forward to hold her down. Someone ran to ask for the imperial doctor, and only then did Yu Wenhao react. He ran over and hugged the empress dowager before heading to the palace.
Run away.
The entire Ronghe Palace was in chaos. No one could believe that Concubine Xian would attack the Queen Mother.
Emperor Ming Yuan knew about this on the way here. He was extremely shocked. When he entered the palace and saw Concubine Xian, he kicked her in the abdomen. With a livid face, he said angrily: "If anything happens to the Queen Mother, I want it."
The lives of more than a hundred members of the Su family."
Concubine Xian was kicked and knelt on the ground. After she went mad, her face was pale and exhausted, and her eyes stared straight at the pool of red blood on the white jade stone steps. She had not completely lost her mind. After the great pain in her heart, she knew that she had committed a crime.
After committing a serious crime, and seeing the furious face of Emperor Ming Yuan again, she slowly bent over, prostrated on the ground, and burst into tears.
Emperor Ming Yuan didn't even look at her, and asked someone to escort her back to Qingyu Palace. He waited for her to be punished and then immediately entered the inner hall.
Yu Wenhao had helped the Queen Mother to stop the bleeding. The injury was not serious. The sternum was blocked and the insertion into the heart was not possible. However, the old lady was so frightened that her face turned completely white, her lips were trembling, and her hands were tightly grasping Yu Wenhao's heart.
Shixiu couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Emperor Ming Yuan coming.
Emperor Ming Yuan knelt beside the bed, held the old lady's hand with both hands, and said in a choked voice, "Mother, it's okay, it's okay."
The old lady looked at Emperor Ming Yuan, her withered face was still very pale, her lips trembled a few times, but she still couldn't form a word.
The imperial doctor also arrived, took care of the wound, knelt on the ground and reported, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's injury is not serious, but she is bleeding a little too much, and she needs to be healed slowly."
For the Queen Mother, the biggest blow was not that she was injured, but that the wise concubine had killed her. Therefore, even though the imperial doctor said that she was fine, she still could not recover from the shock and heartache.
Yu Wenhao also knelt on the ground. He had nothing to say and his face turned mostly pale.
Emperor Ming Yuan gave him a complicated look. He knew about this matter from beginning to end. It can be said that he acquiesced. He could not blame the prince.
He whispered: "Go back."
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "I am here to accompany the imperial grandmother!"
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to him, and Yu Wenhao knelt down, took a step forward, held the Queen Mother's hand, and said in a choked voice: "Grandma, my grandson can't forgive you."
The Queen Mother sighed longly. She was angry with Yu Wenhao because the Su family was where she came from. She felt sorry for her family, but she also knew in her heart that Yu Wenhao had no choice but to do this, and the Su family deserved it.
After getting angry, she still thought about her grandson. She was the kind of person Xian Fei thought. In her heart, her mother's family was far less important than her own son and grandson.
Especially when something happens to her, she subconsciously looks for the person she can rely on the most.
The concubines in the harem dared to hurt the queen mother. This has never happened since the beginning of the Northern Tang Dynasty. Not to mention being hurt, there has never been any confrontation. The distinction between filial piety and respect is like a big mountain, standing in everyone's mind.
In his heart, he was as rebellious as Yu Wenhao, and he still did not dare to go too far towards Concubine Xian when faced with her viciousness.
Another example is that Emperor Ming Yuan has been dissatisfied with the Su family for many years, but because of the word filial piety, he still dared not touch a hair of the Su family. He could only secretly suppress the Su family and prevent them from rising.
He didn't even dare to make the Queen Mother uncomfortable and angry, let alone hurt the Queen Mother's body.
This matter was like a thunder that exploded in the hearts of everyone in the palace. The commotion was so big that it was impossible to suppress it. Within half an hour, the whole palace knew about it.
Empress Chu almost fainted, and she calculated all the consequences, except that Concubine Xian dared to take action against the Empress Dowager.
She was extremely scared. If this matter was pursued, she would not be able to escape.
Not caring about dressing up, she put on a coat and hurried to Ronghe Hall.
After entering the Ronghe Hall and knowing that the Queen Mother was fine, her heart dropped halfway. She knelt on the ground and cried: "I am unable to manage the harem, please forgive the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"
Empress Chu was really scared, her hands and feet were cold and weak. She had to support the ground with both hands when she was kneeling on the ground to maintain an upright kneeling posture. When Empress Chu knelt down, Princess Wenjing and Concubine De also knelt down, one after another.
, some concubines came over after learning about it, and they all knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother also slowly recovered and said weakly: "Okay, don't kneel down anymore. It's cold during the Chinese New Year. Get up!"
Empress Chu cried and knelt down beside the bed, crying so hard, "It's my daughter-in-law's fault. My daughter-in-law is guilty."
No matter how courageous and ambitious Empress Chu was, if she expected that Concubine Xian would harm the Queen Mother, she would never dare to provoke Concubine Xian.
She just wanted Concubine Xian to make a scene, say a few outrageous words to chill the Queen Mother, and cut off Concubine Xian's escape. After all, the Queen Mother was the only one who could help Concubine Xian in this palace.
The Supreme Emperor actually came over in person. He frowned when he entered the palace and saw people kneeling in a room full of people. "What's going on? Didn't the imperial doctor say that he only suffered minor injuries? Everyone, please get out!"
The concubines bowed and then withdrew.
Emperor Ming Yuan personally stepped forward to help the Supreme Emperor come over. The Supreme Emperor sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the frightened old wife, and comforted her with a few words.
The Supreme Emperor did not have much formalism. After appeasing him, he asked Emperor Ming Yuan, "Everyone in the palace knows about this matter. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Emperor Ming Yuan was already determined to execute the Concubine Xian, but the princess's marriage was imminent, and it was not appropriate to execute the Concubine Xian at this time. He was in a dilemma, "What do you think, my son, let's wait for the Princess's marriage before we deal with it?"
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "She has committed a treasonous crime, and no punishment can be excessive. But I want to ask you now that the whole palace knows about this matter. What is the crime for the prince's biological mother to assassinate the queen mother? How do you plan to quell this matter?"
Emperor Ming Yuan's face changed slightly, he had never thought about this.
Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the prince. She committed the crime of killing the queen mother, and she should be punished for the crime. But what about the prince, who is her son? What about her natal family, the Su family? Moreover, this matter has a great impact on the reputation of the prince.
These days, he has been avoiding such a thing, because Yu Wenhao was not legitimate, neither an elder nor a direct descendant. Now that her biological mother has committed evil deeds, his position as crown prince will definitely be shaken.
Throughout the dynasties, whenever a prince was established, he had to ensure that his biological mother was pure and innocent. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the son of a tainted concubine would be selected as the prince, but his biological mother must be killed before the prince was established.
But the current situation is that the prince has already been appointed, but the prince's biological mother committed evil deeds at this time.
"The prince has many supporters in the court, so no one doubts it!" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice was extremely pale and weak.
