The Splendid Fate of the Reborn First Daughter

Chapter 137 She Is Now a Widow

Zhao Xinghe took out the purple ginseng and cypress, cut a piece, and fed it to the emperor's mouth.

Zibai slowly melted away, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the emperor slowly opened his eyes.

The queen couldn't help crying. "Your majesty, you finally woke up, you scared the concubine to death..."

The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Qin Daban stepped forward and said, "You suddenly passed out. Thanks to the empress, you found Prince Zhao in time and gave you a good antidote. You just woke up."

The emperor frowned: "Who poisoned me?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Your Majesty, even though you have taken the elixir, you still need the imperial physician to check your peace pulse, so you can rest assured."

The emperor looked at Qin Daban, who immediately went out to make arrangements.

The emperor was very puzzled, "I have always been very careful, how could I be poisoned?"

Zhao Xinghe hesitated to speak, but the emperor said: "If there is anything, you might as well just say it."

Zhao Xinghe hesitated a lot.The queen immediately said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is going to the imperial dining room to prepare some porridge for you." After saying that, she went out.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Zhao Xinghe knelt down on the ground: "This humble minister has neglected his duty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor asked: "What is going on?"

Zhao Xinghe started from the time when the Southern Dynasty colluded with the Fifth Prince and sent people to poison the generals leading the troops, and continued until Song Qifei entered the palace.He said: "Your Majesty, nine out of ten such a clever poison came from the Taoist surnamed Liang in the Southern Dynasty, but the fifth prince let Song Qifei into the palace, probably to bring this poison into the palace. After all, she is now your pillow." People on the border, if you want to poison, it is easy. Although I have always known that the fifth prince has a problem, but there is no proof. He is the son of the first emperor and has a high status. Therefore, I have not dared to speak out. So much delay until now, let you I have been murdered, please forgive me, the emperor."

The emperor signaled: "Get up, you are not to blame for this matter, he is too cunning. First he sent a beauty to confuse me, and then he wanted to murder me. If something happened to me, the two princes are still young, As the uncle of the emperor, he can take the opportunity to make a move. He is the only blood left by the late emperor. With such an identity, he is likely to control the government, and even replace him. He has a big plan. Zhao Xinghe, you did not report the knowledge. It is indeed a mistake, but you If you saved my life, even if you paid off, I will forgive you."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "Go back, I will take care of these things myself."

Zhao Xinghe saluted and left.

Qin Daban entered the inner hall, saw the solemn expression on the emperor's face, and asked, "Your Majesty, the court judge is already waiting outside, do you want..."

The emperor said: "There is no rush, I have a few things for you to do..."

The more Qin Daban listened, the more surprised he became, but he left without asking any questions.

Zhao Xinghe left the palace, did not go home, but went to Prince Ning's Mansion overnight.The prince had already rested. When he heard that he was coming, he put on his clothes and went to the study.Not long after, Zhao Zhongliang also came, and the three discussed together until dawn.

Zhao Xinghe hurried back home, met Xia Yuwei, and said to her: "Don't go out for now, I'll be returning to the barracks soon, you guard your home, be sure to restrain the servants, and don't cause trouble."

He added: "It's better for Guangchuan and Guangping to stay at home. You take care of them and don't allow them to go out, you understand?"

Xia Yuwei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm at home."

Zhao Xinghe stepped forward and hugged Xia Yuwei: "Weiwei, I'm leaving."

Xia Yuwei held his hand reluctantly, Zhao Xinghe turned around and left.

Xia Yuwei restrained her servants and closed the door, even Guangchuan and Guangping were detained in the yard and they were not allowed to go out.

A month passed in this way.

On this day, Zhao Guangping didn't know what happened, and suddenly hid in the house and started crying.

Zhao Guangchuan went over and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"

Zhao Guangping wiped the tears from his face, and said: "Haven't you heard? Meng likes her... Her fiancé got a sudden illness and passed away. Everyone said she was Kefu, and she was a widow."

Zhao Guangchuan sighed when he heard it: "This is really..."

Zhao Guangping said: "At first I thought, as long as she lives well, that's all. Who knows...I..."

Zhao Guangchuan said: "Now that she is a widow, it is even more impossible for the two of you."

Zhao Guangping burst into tears again: "I..."

Zhao Guangchuan said: "Don't even think about it, even I think it's impossible. How could mother let a widow in..."

Zhao Guangping wept softly.

Fifth Prince's Mansion.

The fifth prince looked at the butler and said, "Is there still no news from the palace?"

The butler said: "Everything in the palace is as usual, but the emperor never went to Concubine Song's place again."

The fifth prince said: "Zhao Xinghe rode his horse in the palace, but no one asked about it?"

The housekeeper said: "There are several censors who impeached him, but the emperor didn't say anything, just stayed in the middle, so no one mentioned it anymore."

The fifth prince said: "Forget it, I'm afraid I have no way out."

The butler was taken aback: "Why do you say that?"

The fifth prince said: "Don't worry about this matter. In my backyard, there are two concubines who are already pregnant, but they are still young and don't show their pregnancy. You take them away tonight and leave the capital immediately. If they give birth to an heir safely, it is considered as my first line of blood. You must protect them and let the children grow up safely."

The butler said, "Where did it get to this point?"

The fifth prince said: "Don't worry about this, take them to the Southern Dynasty to hide, don't reveal your identity to anyone, no matter what happened to me, never come back, you understand?"

Seeing his stern tone, the butler didn't dare to say anything, so he bowed and agreed.

That night, the housekeeper and the two fifth prince's concubines quietly left the mansion through the back corner door, and they went in a carriage to nowhere.

Zhao Xinghe was in the military camp, leading the sergeants to practice, when someone came to report that someone from the palace had come.

Zhao Xinghe hurried out and saw that it was Qin Daban who came.Zhao Xinghe's heart sank, he stepped forward and asked: "You came in person, but what happened?"

Qin Daban smiled and said: "It's nothing, the emperor ordered me to accompany you back to Dingbei Palace."

Zhao Xinghe saw that his expression was natural, he spoke casually, he didn't look like something happened, so he asked: "But what does the emperor want me to do?"

Qin Daban said: "Didn't I tell you that the emperor asked me to accompany you back to Dingbei Palace."

Zhao Xinghe didn't understand, so he had to say: "Wait a minute, I'll explain." He turned back to the school grounds, and explained to Zhao Xinghai, Zhao Xinghai said: "Brother, I'm here, don't worry." Zhao Xinghe said again I went to find Shen Ding and told him about it.

Shen Ding said: "I don't understand what I said, but I happened to go back to the mansion and ask the concubine."

When Zhao Xinghe heard this, his heart was half relieved, and he said to Shen Ding: "Okay, let's go back to the house and talk about it."

Zhao Xinghe took Shen Ding and accompanied Qin Daban all the way back to Dingbei Palace.First, he invited Qin Daban to drink tea in the flower hall, and then hurried to Xia Yuwei's room.
