The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 188.Enter the game
"As Concubine Rong said, you can't talk nonsense about adultery. Sir Qi, do you have any evidence for what you said?" The queen sat at the top, her aura not calming down, and she was somewhat selfless under the pressure.

Qi Guiren immediately said: "Of course I have credentials. Before Concubine Xi entered the palace, Wen Shichu came to propose marriage." She was quite proud and told Jingtai, "Go and bring the four Chen family members."

Jingtai left in response, but a stooped woman walked in tremblingly, wearing a new rust-red servant's clothes. As soon as her feet went weak, she knelt down in front of the palace and kowtowed repeatedly in a loud voice: "Slave, please give your regards to the Queen." .”

"Raise your head and speak." The queen shouted coldly.

When the man raised his head, Zhen Huan recognized him: "Ju'er? Are you Rui'er?" She couldn't believe that the old man in front of her could actually be Rui'er. In her memory, Rui'er was not that old. , only four or five years older than Liu Zhu, but now, Bin'er is as old as over half a century, with traces of weather and frost on her brows, her tenderness as a girl has faded away, leaving only vicissitudes of life and numbness.

"Concubine Xi still recognizes her." Qi Guiren curled his lips and said with a smile, "She is the daughter-in-law of Chen Si from my natal family. When the Zhen family was convicted, all the slaves were confiscated and sold. If my family hadn't bought her, she would have been She couldn’t eat enough, and now she’s starving to death on the streets.”

"Bing'er, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it later." Zhen Huan's voice had an unnoticeable sourness.In the past, Bin'er, like Liu Zhu, was a lively, smart and fun-loving person, but now she has been tortured into a half-old woman. She must have lived an extremely unsatisfactory life these years.

Bin'er shrank and looked at Zhen Huan with a bit of eagerness in her eyes, but it was quickly extinguished: "I don't dare."

"What are you talking about? I just want to ask you, when you were an errand in the Zhen Mansion, did Wen Shichu ever propose marriage to the eldest lady of the Zhen family, the Concubine Xi in front of you?" Qi Guiren interrupted impatiently and asked hurriedly. Bin'er hesitated, then scolded with a hint of warning, "You have to speak loudly in front of the queen. Didn't Chen Si tell you the rules?!"

Bin'er shook for a moment, as if remembering something terrible, lowered her head and said: "Half a month before the draft, Dr. Wen came to propose marriage, but it was only in front of the master and his wife, it was in private. I said it in front of Concubine Xi."

"Concubine Xi, have you agreed?" Concubine Duan asked the key question.

"No, no, Xi Gui..." Rui'er immediately denied it, but suddenly fell silent when she caught a glimpse of Qi Gui's sharp eyes.

Concubine Jing grasped this point and retorted with a smile: "I thought that if Concubine Xi and Imperial Doctor Wen were serious, they might not be in the palace today. It can be seen that Concubine Xi is open-minded and has no personal relationship with Imperial Doctor Wen."

"Back then, Imperial Concubine Xi looked down on a little imperial doctor, but if Imperial Concubine Xi had no interest in it before, how could Imperial Physician Wen rashly propose marriage? It can be seen that there is a friendship between childhood sweethearts." Qi Guiren chuckled, Take your time and pick up the conversation.

These words were irrefutable, but Zhen Huan didn't panic at all. She looked around calmly, with no dodge in her eyes: "I don't believe in childhood sweethearts. I only believe in fate. We can get together after hundreds of times. It cannot be changed by human power." .”

"What my sister said makes sense." An Lingrong smiled and cheered, "The emperor and my sister have separated and separated several times, which shows that the marriage is destined by fate, and other people's feelings are just false speculations."

Zhen Huan looked at each other and smiled.

Qi Guiren gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Concubine Xi has great blessings, and I think I can't compare with her. It's just that she doesn't know the blessings in the midst of blessings, and she is not greedy enough to swallow an elephant. Although she has been blessed with all kinds of favors after returning to the palace, But he still had a secret meeting with Wen Shichu and had a passionate affair."

"Mr. Qi, I have always known that you have a deep grudge with Concubine Xi, but words can easily lead to disputes, so you must not talk nonsense." Seeing that Mr. Qi's words were becoming more and more outrageous, Concubine Jing straightened her face and raised her voice slightly. .

Shun Guiren twirled his handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, with a slight look of disdain in his eyes: "How can such common sayings as love, adultery and passion be spoken openly? Qi Guiren is too ignorant of etiquette, even if it is as you said. If Concubine Xi has an affair with Imperial Physician Wen, she would have to hide it from others so that no one knows about it. Aren't you afraid of going to tongue-pulling hell if you say such filthy words about adultery and passion without any evidence? "

It's just a concubine. Shun Gui has always been ignored by Qi Gui. When he saw her speaking, he couldn't help but say with contempt, "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing." She clapped twice, and then A palace maid walked in slowly, "When you do too many things, you will always be exposed. Fei Wen, the young palace maid of Yongshou Palace, has seen me a few times."

Feiwen was the chess piece that the Queen pried out from Zhen Huan. Seeing her appear on the stage, the Queen knew that it was time to take over the role, so she said: "Feiwen, when did you see something or hear something? Now I have to tell you everything clearly." How should I put it? The queen asked Jianqiu and Feiwen to explain it early, so the queen was confident at this time.

"That day, the empress was talking to Dr. Wen, and there was no one waiting inside, so the slave girl accompanied the third lady in. Unexpectedly, the slave girl saw that the doctor Wen's hand was holding the empress's hand. The two of them looked at me and me. Looking at you, he sat quietly. When Doctor Wen saw the slave and the third lady coming in, he hurriedly withdrew his hand. The slave also saw that the sleeves of Doctor Wen's clothes were turned up and embroidered with a small five-petal bamboo leaf. ." Fei Wen spoke smoothly, as if she had practiced it thousands of times, and looked at Zhen Huan from the corner of her eye from time to time, "After that, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I was afraid that the empress would find out that I saw this and wanted to kill her, so I had no choice but to kill her and silence her. I beg you, Mr. Qi, to make the decision."

If Jun'er's words only set off a subtle sign, then Feiwen's words really kicked off the affair. She spoke sharply, and although she didn't say much, she described everything in detail. , arousing people's imagination, especially the sentence "Turn out a section of the sleeve, and embroider a small five-petal bamboo leaf" is even more exquisite. It is obviously just a simple outline, but it insists on saying "I stay here" "Mr. Husband, take off your clothes and belt", everyone was in an uproar.

"You saw it when you were just a little palace maid, but what about when you couldn't see it?" Jin Bin chuckled and taunted, with a hint of meaning in her words, "Don't we think there are too many such things?"

"It's a matter of great importance." The queen clapped her hands and told Jiang Fuhai, "Please ask Imperial Physician Wen to come to Jingren Palace for questioning." An Lingrong looked up at the queen, put a handkerchief to her lips, and coughed lightly to cover it. A sound.

Bai Zhi behind her immediately understood and left quietly while no one was paying attention. At this moment, a person who had been forgotten for a long time also followed her footsteps and left. After walking out of Jingren Palace, Bai Zhi turned into a dark corner and Cardamom joint, and she went straight to Suiyuxuan.

In Broken Jade Pavilion, Shen Meizhuang was watching from a distance. Madam Shen and Caiyue on the side were urging each other: "Your Majesty is about to give birth. Concubine Rong specially sent someone to tell you that any movement outside should not alarm you. This matter will definitely alarm you. Your Majesty, your Majesty will always help Concubine Xi no matter what you say. You just need to rest assured and raise the baby. Otherwise, if something happens, you won’t have time to go. Everything is still important for the fetus in your belly."

"But..." Shen Meizhuang frowned tightly and refused to go back to the dormitory, "Huan'er was implicated and I don't know what happened. I have to go and take a look to feel relieved."

Mrs. Shen wanted to say more, but she suddenly saw a petite figure walking in from the door. He stood in front of the three people and saluted: "Greetings to Concubine Hui. This servant is the green calyx next to Lady Jade. I came here specially to deliver a message to the concubine. Qi The nobles made a fuss in Jingren Palace, saying that Concubine Xi had an affair with Imperial Physician Wen and was causing filth in the harem. The Empress was about to interrogate Imperial Physician Wen and asked someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite someone. The noble lady asked her slave to report a message to the empress. Just intercept the person quickly."

"What did you say?" Shen Meizhuang felt like the world was spinning and he almost fell down.

"Miss!"

"Son, don't scare mother!" Mrs. Shen was so frightened that she quickly joined hands with Caiyue to support Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang came to his senses in panic and said repeatedly: "Quick, Caiyue, go prepare the sedan chair and go to Jingren Palace immediately."

"Your Majesty, you can't go. If that's the case, you will definitely disturb the fetus if you go." Caiyue immediately disagreed and looked at Shen Meizhuang with worried eyes.

"How long have you been talking about this? Do I have to be careful? If the emperor hears this and believes that Huan'er and Shi Chu are having an affair, I will really have fetal motility." Shen Meizhuang looked anxious. White, snapped.

However, Mrs. Shen pinched Shen Meizhuang's hand hard and said with a cold face: "Nothing matters except your mother's body!" She stared at Shen Meizhuang with burning eyes, calming her invisibly, and then told Caiyue in a cold voice: , "Hurry up to the Imperial Hospital and ask for Doctor Wen. Please tell me that Concubine Hui has aroused fetal gas. Her current situation is not good and she is afraid that she will give birth soon. Please come here as soon as possible, Doctor Wen."

Shen Meizhuang was slightly startled: "Mother..."

Caiyue reacted and immediately leaned over to take the order.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu E raised his eyes and took a deep look at Shen Meizhuang, then lowered his eyes to cover up the surging waves in his eyes, and whispered: "I will leave first, this slave."

Mrs. Shen nodded casually, helped Shen Meizhuang into the bedroom and sat down. Her face was very ugly: "Mei'er, you are the flesh that fell off my mother's body. If there is something wrong with you, my mother can tell it at a glance. What happened today, you Are you worried about Concubine Xi or the imperial physician named Wen?" Her voice trembled slightly, "You just called him, Shichu, you, you..." The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but look down. He moved and stopped on Shen Meizhuang's belly, "Whose is this child?"

Only then did Shen Meizhuang realize his gaffe, and regretted it. He lowered his head inch by inch under Mrs. Shen's questioning: "This child belongs to the emperor, but Shichu and I...Mother was right, and he and I are of the same mind." Happy..."

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Shen slapped Shen Meizhuang hard on the face. With tears in her eyes, she cursed fiercely: "Shameless!" She breathed hard, but she couldn't suppress the emotions surging in her chest. She couldn't believe it. , the daughter he had raised since childhood actually fell in love with a man other than the emperor. Even if she did not step out of the bottom line of ethics, she would still be unclean.Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen was so angry that her eyes were red. She pointed at Shen Meizhuang and said with anger and hatred, "How did I give birth to such a shameless thing like you? If the emperor finds out about this, the entire Shen family will be executed." Yes!"

"Mother, I have never betrayed the emperor." Shen Meizhuang was full of grievances and she couldn't stop crying. "I serve the emperor, respect the queen mother, and am a good concubine in the eyes of everyone in the harem. I have never betrayed your teachings to me since I was a child. I It's just... I just feel very miserable in my heart. I don't have anyone I can rely on in this palace. The Emperor has too many people in his heart. He is not my beloved, mother!" Facing his mother, Shen Meizhuang showed a rare vulnerability. , she held Mrs. Shen's hand and burst into tears, "I just have him in my heart, mother, isn't this okay?"

Mrs. Shen was also heartbroken. She touched Shen Meizhuang's face, hugged her into her arms, and cried: "My poor son, why don't you hope that you can marry someone who is happy with you? But son, Ah, the Shen family is in a difficult situation. My mother only has a daughter like you. If you hadn’t been so successful in the palace, your father wouldn’t have been able to keep his position as head of the family. He finally expected you to be pregnant..."

"Mom, it hurts..." Shen Meizhuang said tremblingly, reaching out and grabbing the hem of Mrs. Shen's clothes.

Mrs. Shen looked down and saw that there was blood on the ground.
