Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 358 Conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
The Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace are both located on the central axis of the Forbidden City, and they are not too far apart. Zhu Qiyu arrived at the Kunning Palace in less than a cup of tea in a Luanjia.

Regarding his sudden arrival, the whole Kunning Palace was obviously caught off guard. Xing'an hurriedly led a group of maids and servants, and just after finishing the queue, he saw Luanjia stopped at the gate of the palace.

"Slave Xing'an, please greet the emperor."

Zhu Qiyu got off the Luanjia, waved his hands casually, indicating that they don't need to be polite, and entered the palace gate.

After passing the courtyard, Mrs. Wang happened to come out of the hall, followed by the big court lady Liuhuan, blessed Zhu Qiyu and asked.

"How did your majesty come so early today?"

During this period of time, Zhu Qiyu has always been diligent in politics. Normally, he would not come to the harem until the key of the palace gate is released. Now it is indeed the first time to come here at this time.

Zhu Qiyu took Wang's hand into the hall, sat down on the couch, looked straight at her, but didn't speak.

Wang was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, subconsciously straightened up, and asked cautiously.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? But what did the concubine do wrong to displease His Majesty?"

Zhu Qiyu said indifferently: "Just now, the subordinates came to report that there are rumors in the capital that Cheng Guogong's mansion sent a woman into the palace in the name of a draft to get back the title. Does the queen know about this?"

Wang's face froze, and he forced a smile, and said.

"The concubine is looking for an opportunity to tell His Majesty about this matter. The primary and secondary selections for this draft are over."

"Everything else is easy to say. The position of the fourth concubine cannot be granted lightly. The concubine and the concubine mother have considered it again and again. They think that the daughter of the governor and Zhi Wangqin is suitable for her appearance and family background. She is about to pass the list to His Majesty after using the Phoenix seal later. , perform the canonization ceremony."

Zhu Qiyu knew about this matter, and even at the beginning, he hinted that Shu Liang could reveal some information to Hu Mi, but he had no intention of letting Wang Shi be selected from the very beginning.

But what made him feel angry was that it was already the final selection stage, and no one in the palace reported this matter to him in advance, but had to get news from outside the palace.

Seeing Wang's aggrieved look, Zhu Qiyu was a little soft-hearted, but there was still no expression on his face, and asked: "Is this what you mean, or what is meant by the concubine?"

Wang Shi bit her lower lip, lowered her head and said nothing.

So, Zhu Qiyu had a bottom line in his heart, his face sank, and he shouted to the outside: "Xing'an, get out of here!"

In the past, in Kunning Palace, he always had a pleasant face, and he rarely got angry like this.

All of a sudden, the maids and maids serving in the palace lowered their heads tremblingly, not daring to make a sound.

However, Xing'an outside couldn't hide, he walked in bravely and knelt on the ground.

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, and said to Xing'an: "What's going on, you tell me!"

Now Xing'an is the chief eunuch in charge of the harem, and he served in Jingyang Palace before, he must be clear about this matter.

Xing'an was so frightened that he kowtowed on the ground, his voice trembling.

"My lord, a few days ago, the wife of Hu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites entered the palace, and brought the wife of the young prince from Chengguo's mansion, and the cousin of the young prince's parents, saying that he intends to enter the palace for a draft."

"The empress dowager looked at the young lady's appearance at that time and felt very satisfied, so she approved the matter. However, the young lady's father is Wang Qin, the commander-in-chief. The empress dowager felt that if this matter was passed on to the outer court in advance , Fear of a storm."

"So don't let the servants and maids talk nonsense, but there is absolutely no intention to deceive the emperor!"

Zhu Qiyu felt a bit of a headache, and sure enough it was Wu who issued the password again.

Zhu Qiyu naturally understood her intentions.

Cheng Guogong's mansion has a very high prestige among the relatives. If it can be completely subdued, it is equivalent to indirectly controlling a group of veteran relatives.

At this stage, the fastest and most effective way is marriage.

That old fellow Hu Wei probably thought so too, so he called his wife into the palace to test it out.

But the problem is that he originally only planned to let Wang Shi go through the motions, but he didn't think about actually choosing him.

As a result, it is now the last step, but she has been hiding it from him.

If he hadn't come in time, and the Wang family really entered the palace, he would have had a headache.

This is not the first time. The last time about Brother Ji, Wu did not discuss with him. It seems that he wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Wu.

It's okay for Mrs. Wu to do this, but Mrs. Wang actually...

Slightly shaking his head, leaving these messy thoughts behind for a while, Zhu Qiyu turned his gaze back to Wang Shi, and asked with a frown.

"Yunniang, tell me the truth. You told me a few days ago that the imperial doctor stopped the decoction you were taking to restore your body. Is it true?"

Mrs. Wang didn't speak, she got up silently, knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said nothing.

Zhu Qiyu's heart ached for a while, but she still hardened her heart, turned to the eldest palace maid with a cold face, and asked, "Liu Huan, tell me, what did the imperial physician say?"

It was also the first time Liu Huan saw Zhu Qiyu's expression like this, and immediately knelt down in fright, and said.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the empress's body is indeed fine, but the imperial doctor said that to be on the safe side, it's best to cultivate for a few more months, and then... and then..."

Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he slapped the small case on the couch, which made all the court ladies and eunuchs tremble: "Nonsense!"

At this moment, Wang Shi finally mustered up the courage, straightened up and bowed, raised his head and said.

"If your Majesty wants to blame, then you can blame the concubine. It is the concubine who made the decision, and the concubine forbids them to talk to Your Majesty."

When she said these words, Mrs. Wang no longer had the posture of her youngest daughter these days. She was graceful, dignified and decent, but her eyes were slightly red, and tears were in her eyes, but they were firmly kept in her eyes. .

Seeing this scene, Zhu Qiyu finally didn't hold back, stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Shi into his arms, stroked her soft blue hair, sighed, and said, "I have wronged you..."

A soft sob sounded, and Zhu Qiyu felt his chest gradually soaked with tears, and he couldn't help but let out another long sigh in his heart.

He should have noticed it earlier.

Wang's character is reserved and graceful, calm and reserved, even though the two of them have a very good relationship now, their straightforward behavior like that day is fundamentally abnormal.

Zhu Yi's cousin came from a famous family, and had Cheng Guogong's mansion and Wang's family as backers. Once she entered the palace, her position would be extremely stable.

Because she not only represents herself, but also represents the loyalty of a large number of forces behind her to Zhu Qiyu.

Other people, Mrs. Wang, don't need to care, but this woman, she must care.

As the lord of the Six Palaces, Wang Shi may have realized long ago that her husband will inevitably have many concubines, and she has also made preparations for this.

Zhu Qiyu never felt that a second position was worthy of her doing so much.

Because, even in the previous life when he ignored Wang Shi so much, she never took the initiative like she did a few days ago.

Even if she is abolished in the end, she is not willing to compete for favor and flattery like ordinary concubines, she has her own pride and dignity.

But now, she is willing to let go of all this.

It wasn't because she was afraid that her position in the middle palace would be threatened, but because she was afraid that her position in Zhu Qiyu's heart would be shaken.

In the end, she could no longer accept the harmonious music these days, and the relationship between herself and her husband had returned to the former respectful relationship.

Needless to say, Zhu Qiyu was convinced of this from the very beginning.

Gently patting Wang's back, he sighed, trying to make his tone as calm as possible, and asked.

"It's what the concubine mother said to you, isn't it?"

They had been together for so long, if it was just the news that a daughter of the royal family was going to enter the palace, it would not have caused Wang Shi to lose her composure. Something must have happened to make her so flustered.

In this palace, other people don't have the guts, and the only person who can do this is Wu Shi.

Wang Shi didn't speak, but still lay in his arms and refused to look up.

Zhu Qiyu had a headache, turned to Liuhuan and asked.

"Liu Huan, tell the truth, what the queen mother said to the queen, don't lie, tell the truth!"
