Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 652 Do You Want To Be A Queen?
Hongxuan came out from the main room, and the emperor hurriedly asked about the situation inside.

"Your Majesty, Pindao has done his best."

As soon as this was said, Madam Hou's screams came from inside again, Zhou Lihuai raised an eyebrow at Liu Yunxiang, and hurried into the house.

There were screams one after another, as if she was starting to exert herself.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan, saw him retreating to the side, lowered his head, chanting some scriptures, he didn't know if he was praying or confessing.

As the sky darkened, Mrs. Hou's voice became weaker and weaker. Plates of blood and water were sent out, and the faces of the maidservants who came and went became more and more pale, until a group of imperial physicians came out and knelt down in front of the emperor in unison.

"The minister is incompetent, Mrs. Hou has passed away."

The emperor frowned, "Where is the child? How is the child? But the little prince?"

The emperor doesn't care what Mrs. Hou is like, if he is a child.

Zhou Lihuai prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "The little prince has died since he was born."

The emperor stood up abruptly, his eyes widened, "So it was really the little prince...but he died young."

The imperial physicians were all prostrate on the ground, some timid ones were already trembling, for fear that the emperor would punish them.

"Your Majesty, when Pindao entered, Mrs. Hou's face was already filled with death. Her womb was stillborn long before she gave birth, so it was delayed for these days, and the birth was not delivered until a few days." Hongxuan stepped forward and said.

The emperor's face was livid, "According to what you mean, the child in her womb is indeed mine, but it's just that he died a long time ago."

"Yes."

"Hmph, since he's dead, what else is there to say!"

The emperor flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave immediately, but he forgot his foot was injured and almost fell down.

The fourth prince wanted to step forward to help, but the emperor ignored him, and waved to Yan Mu, "Old Seven, come and help me."

As soon as Yan Mu changed from being careless, he responded, and told Liu Yunxiang to let her go back to the mansion first, and he sent the emperor back to the palace.

Yan Mu still picked up the emperor and carried the emperor all the way out of the courtyard.

The rest of the matter was left to Shangguan Xu and others to deal with. The emperor did not convict, and several imperial physicians were relieved.

"Shangguan Dugong, first put the bodies of Mrs. Hou and the child in the hall, and the poor will save them." Hongxuan said to Shangguan Xu.

Shangguan Xu shook his head: "There's no need to bother, first notify the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and if the Marquis Mansion refuses to take over, they will be buried in a mass grave."

Hongxuan pursed his lips for a moment, and then said: "Under such circumstances, adults and children die with resentment."

Speaking of this, he paused, "For the sake of the emperor's health, we still have to go over."

When Hongxuan said that, Shangguan Xu and others couldn't refuse anymore, it just added a lot of trouble.

"When the time comes, Pindao will arrange for Mrs. Hou and the child to be buried."

Shangguan Xu smiled, "Then I will bother Daoist Hongxuan."

Since they had nothing to do here, Yan Mu and the others withdrew, and the fourth prince also left.

Zhou Lihuai was still there, and he said to Liu Yunxiang: "It's getting dark now, Lao Qi is sending the emperor back to the palace, then I'll take you back to the residence on his behalf."

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the front door of the main room, and saw Hongxuan standing there, arranging some matters, "Madam Hou died of dystocia?"

Zhou Lihuai laughed, "Otherwise?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "It's just a pity."

"Madam Hou didn't want to live, nor did she want the child in her womb to live, but Taoist Hongxuan made a mistake in one sentence."

"what?"

"Mrs. Hou's womb is not stillborn. She was still moving during childbirth. Presumably it was a long time before the baby could be born, and the baby was suffocated to death."

Liu Yunxiangmo, Hongxuan presumably wanted the emperor to believe that the child in Mrs. Hou's womb was his own, so that he would not have other suspicions, and even implicate the innocent Dingyuanhou's mansion.

It is estimated that Mrs. Hou begged him, and he agreed because of his past friendship.

"Just wait a moment."

Liu Yunxiang instructed Zhou Lihuai, and then walked towards Hongxuan.

"Customize the best coffin, dig a grave in the back mountain of the Taoist temple, and bury Mrs. Hou and this child together. As for the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, there is no need to inform them."

Hongxuan arranged it methodically, and the servants followed suit one by one.

After Hongxuan finished explaining, Liu Yunxiang walked to his side.

"Why didn't you inform the Hou Fu?" she asked.

Hongxuan sighed, "She said that even if the old lady took pity on her and asked her to be buried in the ancestral grave, she didn't want to. That place was a cage for her. She was in the cage during her lifetime, and she hoped to be released after death. She also said that I'm sorry for the child in my womb, I want to be buried with him, whether it's Huangquan Road or the underworld, I will accompany him."

"Madam Hou explained the funeral to you?"

"Ah."

"Hearing that, she seems sure she's going to die."

Hongxuan looked sideways at Liu Yunxiang, and took a deep look at her, "You know that you like to refine some tonics. Although they can strengthen the body, the effect of prolonging life is blown out. These tonics have blood circulation, and I fed them to her One, it's fine for ordinary people to eat it, but she..."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "This will cause her to collapse."

"Yes, with more weight, the effect will be better."

"You killed her!" Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan in disbelief, "How could you do it, a woman and a child, you are too cruel!"

Hongxuan heaved a long sigh, "She said that she was determined not to survive, and this child, she didn't want him to live like Yan Mu, it was too difficult and too painful."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, she thought of Yan Mu who just erased the resentment, put on a smile, and left behind the emperor's back...

"Yan Mu can meet you, that child may not be so lucky."

Hongxuan turned around and sat on the steps, shook his head and smiled, "This is the last thing I can do for her."

Liu Yunxiang returned to the palace, and waited for Yan Mu for a while before returning.

She hurriedly stepped forward to help him take off the cloak, "Look at you, your face is blue from the cold, hurry up and warm yourself in front of the stove."

Yan Mu pulled her over and bowed her head for a kiss, "The emperor asked me to serve in the study after the morning court."

Liu Yunxiang changed his mind, "He is considering whether to be your crown prince?"

"Only me, not the fourth prince."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "The third prince and the fourth prince are stupider than the other, he knows it."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to have another little prince, so choosing Yan Mu is really hard to choose.

Yan Mu embraced Liu Yunxiang, bowed his head and kissed the back of her neck, "Do you want to be a queen?"

"what?"

"Get it for you to play with?"

Liu Yunxiang chuckled, "That's fine, I'll try to see if it's fun."

The next few days will be sunny and sunny.

This morning, Liu Yunxiang stayed in bed until almost noon.After lunch, she was playing in the yard with her two children when Su Rumeng hurried over.

"Sister-in-law San has such an expression, but what happened?"

Liu Yunxiang clapped his hands, walked up to Su Rumeng, and asked her worriedly.

Su Rumeng sighed, "It's not that something happened to me, but...it's the Fourth Imperial Concubine!"
