The servants next to them were all people with quick eyes. When they saw the fifth elder brother walking in with wind, their faces were not right. They immediately stood up and walked out quietly. When they reached the steps at the entrance of the palace, they The eunuchs were swept away and driven away.
Several people looked at each other and said nothing.
You can guess the look on the fifth elder brother's face - he probably came here because of something in the courtyard.
In the Nuan Pavilion, Hong Zhou was extremely angry, but he spoke eloquently and recounted the situation in his courtyard.
It turns out that the last time Shi Gege came back from Concubine Yu, she still looked calm. When the fifth elder brother asked her anything, she answered well and only said that Concubine Yu cared about her and he must encourage himself.
Hong Zhou thought it was nothing serious.
As a result, after a few days, Shi Ge Ge stopped moving his chopsticks.
Her appetite has been bad since she was born. Although Hong Zhou was worried about her health, he didn't think about anything else. He just urged the doctor to prescribe more medicines to replenish qi and appetite.
Until Shi Gege's personal maid realized something was wrong and came to the fifth elder brother crying.
Gege is going on a hunger strike!
Anyway, her body was seriously injured, and everyone in the yard knew that she only had half a life left. If she really wanted to die and didn't eat well every day, which caused her body to collapse, people outside would just think that she was still pregnant. Because of this, I would not have thought that she wanted to die.
It can be regarded as not being a burden to my mother's family.
Hong Zhou was furious and rushed to the stone room.
Shi Gege only had his wrists like dead branches, and his neck was so thin that he looked like a person drawn on paper, extremely strangely thin.
Even so, a beauty is still a beauty.
"Empress Yufei said... I have cut off your thoughts, brother..." Shi Gege was held in Hong Zhou's arms and said these words intermittently in his ear.
"I am not blessed. I have been loved by my master, and I have lived a very happy life for a few years. The empress said... I still have a bright future, but I am... a beauty. If it is for my brother's sake, I will To repay my brother, I should find a way on my own and end it in a discreet way..."
Shi Gege gasped and said with difficulty.
Hong Zhou felt severe pain in his heart.
"You just listen to whatever she says? You are stupid!" Hong Zhou yelled fiercely.
"Why don't you think about me? If I didn't have you, I would..." Before Hong Zhou could finish the rest of his words, he hugged Shi Gege and buried him on her shoulders.
Both of them cried.
The servant next to him was also wiping tears.
"Eniang, my son has always called you "Eniang", not empress! "Eniang only cares about her son, how could she do such a painful thing to Shi?" Hong Zhou's eyes were red, and he approached Yu Fei and asked. .
Concubine Yu was so shocked by his momentum that she couldn't help but take a step back, then covered her chest with a handkerchief, slumped down on the chair, raised her hand to cover her forehead, her voice already choked with sobs: "Okay, Hong Zhou—" - I have watched my son grow up helplessly. Today, just because of a princess, he comes to glare at me! Is this what you are asking?"
She paused, and finally the tears couldn't be held back, and burst into her eyes. She raised her finger and pointed at Hong Zhou, and asked in a trembling voice: "In your heart, is my mother worse than a little fox? Or are you Ai Xinjieluo used to showing affection? , one, two, three or four, all like this!"
Hong Zhou gritted his teeth and said: "If your son is filial to E Niang, doesn't E Niang love her son? Shi is the son's destiny. The last time she was announced to E Niang, the son only thought it was E Niang who wanted to see her. How could he have expected that? How could my mother be so cruel! If I had known this earlier, no matter what my son said, he would never have let her step into this place!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Veins popped out on his forehead. He took a step closer and said word by word: "She is my son's life! If my mother touches her, it will be the same as killing her son. When the time comes, my son will die."
Whatever you do, don’t regret it!”
Concubine Yu suddenly raised her head, her whole body was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it, and she trembled all over: "What did you say?"
She suddenly slapped the table hard, swept the tea cup on the table to the ground, and said angrily: "What did you say!"
The slaves outside the palace all knelt down on the ground.
Hong Zhou did not back down and said with his head held high: "My son made it very clear - she is my son's life. If my mother touches her, my son will not survive!"
Concubine Yu trembled her lips for a long time, and finally said: "What a sin! What a waste! How could I have given birth to such a loser like you! For a woman...well, for a woman...very good! Very good!"
The maid who was close to her outside heard that something was wrong, so she quickly came in, looked at the scene, stepped forward to support Concubine Yu, and urged her in a piteous voice: "My queen, please calm down, your Majesty, please calm down. We are all mother and son, what can I say?"
Speak slowly to Brother Five! It’s not like Brother is incapable of listening to reason. You are angry right now. Please take a break while I wait for Brother to drink a cup of tea and wash your face..."
"What kind of tea are you drinking?" Hong Zhou shouted and said coldly: "Mother, how are you doing, Mr. Shi? This is my son's private matter at home. I won't say anything else. I handed the sign in today just to say this: Uh.
My mother’s hand is stretched too far, please be more restrained in the future!”
"Listen, listen!" Concubine Yu was so angry that her hands kept shaking. She raised her hand and saw a porcelain vase next to her. She grabbed it and threw it at Hong Zhou.
The eunuch in Concubine Yu's palace next to him was so frightened that he rushed forward, narrowly caught him, and cried: "Fifth brother, I beg you! Don't get into trouble with the empress! I am doing it for you too. I don't want to do it."
How easy!”
When these words reached the sad point, Concubine Yu's tears suddenly flowed down. She raised her handkerchief and covered her face and said: "How can this villain understand my painstaking efforts! Look at his expression now. For the sake of a princess
, treat me as your enemy! What a sin! What evil have I done! In this life, has there ever been one thing that went well with me? Has there ever been one thing?"
When she said this, she thought about how she was not favored in Qiandi in her early years and had many downtrodden experiences. After a lot of hard work, she finally let Yinzhen come to her for a while.
If he could come, no matter whether she could conceive a child or not, she would be surprised, happy, shy and delicate.
Fortunately, God showed mercy and finally allowed her to have Hong Zhou.
But even after giving birth to the child, the man with stern eyebrows and indifferent expression never came to her again.
She had never experienced a day like Concubine Chen's.
Not even a day.
I never know what it feels like to hold that man in his hand?
What does it feel like?
The past events, lingering thoughts of youth, endless emotions, and all kinds of sadness and grievances all came to mind at this time. Concubine Yu, lying in the arms of the maid close to her, could not stop crying.
The eldest palace maid also cried, and while weeping, she choked and advised: "Mother, don't be anxious, ah! Don't be anxious, you have to think about it later, you have a fifth elder brother, which is already a blessing that many people in the palace can't envy.
Come on, take your time, take your time! My brother is just too impatient, how can I not be filial to you?"
