The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

The queen's expression was extremely ugly: "The third elder brother is not that kind of person, he has always been steady."

"I've always been steady, but I'm afraid it's just a facade." Concubine Jing said sarcastically in a soft tone.

An Lingrong had sat down beside the emperor at this time. She lowered her eyes and glanced at Yinggui. She saw that her face was pale from crying, but she inadvertently blinked at An Lingrong.

No one here noticed that the queen was still arguing: "The third elder brother is young and ignorant of human affairs. He must have been seduced by a cheap maid."

Ying Guiren cried hard, but he spoke very clearly: "Your Majesty, I don't have it! I don't have it! It's the third elder brother. He once pestered me in the imperial garden and said that I played the song "Shangxie" on the Mid-Autumn Night. It was arranged carefully by him. For this reason, I used my status as a concubine to scold him for not doing his job properly, but he said it to himself and didn't listen at all. I had no choice but to avoid it again and again..."

"Yes, both Chen Concubine and Concubine Xin have seen the scene where Third Elder Brother entangled Mr. Ying, and now they are both on the same page." Concubine Jing sighed and said, "You avoid it, but he refuses to give up. I write to you heartily to express my love. The third elder brother is so obsessed with sex that he doesn’t even care about human ethics. It’s really ridiculous.”

The queen was sullen and looked at Mr. Yinggui with sharp eyes: "The person was selected by the Prince of Guo County. What good can a humble maid do? I thought that the third elder brother must be innocently implicated in this matter."

"But now there are people and stolen goods. This letter is written by the third elder brother." Concubine Jing also insisted on not letting go.

"Then it must have been the lowly maid who seduced him first." The queen spoke sternly, making it clear that she wanted to pour dirty water on Yinggui.

"Okay, stop arguing." The emperor scolded coldly, interrupting the argument between the queen and concubine Jing.

The queen was anxious and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please don't wrong your biological son!"

The palace fell silent for a moment, except for Yinggui's sobs from time to time. After a long time, the emperor looked at her seriously and said word by word: "You acted improperly and seduced the prince. I will give you an end."

"Your Majesty, I really don't have any concubines!" Yinggui cried miserably and collapsed on the ground without any strength.

"You have told me the cause and effect once. I don't want to hear it anymore." The emperor said with a cold expression, "Su Peisheng, take him down and give him Bai Ling."

Ying Guiren trembled all over and even stopped crying for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Yinggui is beautiful. Bai Ling's death is not only ugly, but the process is also extremely painful. I also ask Your Majesty to grant her a poisonous bar." An Lingrong spoke lightly, with unbearable eyes.

The emperor nodded casually: "That's fine."

After receiving the order, Su Peisheng raised his hand and asked the guards to drag Yinggui out, who was still crying and begging for injustice.

Concubine Jing was a little dissatisfied: "Your Majesty..." Anyone with a discerning eye could tell whether what happened today was right or wrong. She couldn't believe that the Emperor would confuse right and wrong for the sake of Third Brother. She didn't see the Emperor liking him that much on weekdays. Third brother.

"Okay." The emperor raised his eyes and glared at Concubine Jing fiercely, and then looked at the queen with anger, "You have made Hongshi kneel in Fengxian Hall for most of the day, and that's the end of today's matter. I don’t want to hear a single gossip in the palace..."

The queen's heart slowly returned to its original position. She knew that no matter how angry the emperor was, he would always take the royal family's face into consideration. However, the third elder brother would inevitably be left out in the cold, but it didn't matter. As long as she was around, the emperor would forgive him sooner or later. Third brother's.The queen's eyes flickered and suddenly fell on An Lingrong. She suddenly paused, and an unreasonable uneasiness spread in her heart.

An Lingrong was flipping through the letter seemingly bored, when she suddenly stopped and brought the back of the letter to her eyes for a closer look: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this letter." She raised the letter to the Emperor, "The back of the letter The ink mark seems to be written on Yin Shi Moment, secret meeting or something."

The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he sat up immediately: "Bring it to me to see." Looking carefully at the skylight, it turned out that there were only a few strokes written on it, as if they were handwriting seeped from another piece of paper. It was very clear, but by piecing it together one could guess what was written. In an instant, the emperor's face became extremely ugly, "Su Peisheng, go and stop Mr. Ying!"

The queen couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking. She stood up and wanted to take a look, but was interrupted by the emperor's movement.

"What a good son the queen raised!" The emperor slammed the letter on the queen's face. The movement was not big, but it was enough to make the queen lose face.

The queen's lips turned pale. She turned over the letter with trembling hands and read it carefully. The emperor's voice was as deafening as thunder: "In the past two months, I have reprimanded and taught him several times, but he refused to study hard. He only focused on studying. Thinking about how to make friends with ministers and how to handle government affairs, you completely forgot about what you should do as a son and a minister!"

"Your Majesty, the third elder brother will never dare to spy on the emperor!" The queen panicked and knelt down quickly and said with tears in her eyes, "This must be that cheap maid who framed the third elder brother! I can't say... I can't say for sure. It was arranged by King Guo. Didn't the late emperor also choose him as the crown prince?" The more she said, the more she obeyed. "On the one hand, King Guo instigated Yinggui to seduce the third elder brother and ruin the emperor's reputation. On the other hand, he also instructed her to spy on the emperor's whereabouts. He wants to be the emperor, but his ambition is so obvious!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, becoming suspicious.

Su Peisheng came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Ying has committed suicide by drinking poison."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief. The person is dead, so there is no proof of death. The truth will only depend on what the living people say.

However, how could An Lingrong let it go so easily? She pretended to think for a while, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, I heard from the fourth elder brother in Yongshou Palace a few days ago that the third elder brother has been visiting frequently recently. Go to the clan's mansion, is it possible that you were influenced by what someone said? If that's the case, the emperor should give a good advice to the third elder brother. How can you listen to the words of a sycophant and a traitor?" The muscles on the emperor's face twitched hard. : "Su Peisheng, brother Xuan San came to Yangxin Hall to reply." He looked at the queen with deep eyes, and his voice was majestic that she could not refuse, "Queen, please go to the back to rest for a while. I have something to talk to Hongshi alone. ." After saying that, he didn't wait for the queen to answer and looked at An Lingrong again, "You and Concubine Jing should accompany the queen. Don't make any noise and just listen carefully."

"Yes, I understand." An Lingrong stood up and reassured the emperor, "Don't be angry, your emperor. He is his own son after all. He can be scolded or beaten twice and taught a lesson."

The queen turned red with anger and pursed her lips tightly as she sat down behind the screen. An Lingrong and Concubine Jing sat on the other side hand in hand. The three of them were silent.

I don’t know how long it took, but someone opened the curtain of the side hall, and the third elder brother shrank in. An Lingrong and the other three also heard his trembling greetings: "My son, I would like to send my regards to the emperor..."

The emperor did not answer, and the palace suddenly became quiet again.

The quiet air seemed to be condensed with ice, and the queen felt that the blood in her body was condensing inch by inch, and she shivered involuntarily from the cold.

"I have already executed Lady Ying." The emperor's voice sounded suddenly, "I know Lady Ying was unjustly accused, but in order to protect you, I had no choice but to accuse her unjustly."

"Huang Ama..." The third elder brother's cries came one after another, and he sobbed sadly, "My son is confused, my son, my son..."

"I wish to know you, and live forever." The emperor suddenly read a sentence written in the letter, his voice as cold as ice, "You are looking forward to being with her for a long time, are you looking forward to my early death? You feel that I am getting old and that this world is about to be at your fingertips, so you start to think about things you shouldn’t! For a mere cheap servant, you actually dare to hope that I will die early!"

A clear sound of slaps was heard, and the queen suddenly turned pale and clenched her hands tightly on the armrests.

"I never meant this! Your Majesty, you must be aware of this!" The third elder brother kowtowed and begged every word, "I beg you, Your Majesty, to forgive me. It's all my fault. Your Majesty Ying... Your Majesty Ying is innocent..." "

"Of course she is innocent. It was you who killed her." The emperor took a deep breath and sat back. "Because you don't know the heights of the sky and the rules of human ethics. Because you are so audacious that you covet the emperor's woman, your emperor. Ma’s woman!”

The third elder brother just sobbed and cried.

The emperor softened his tone slightly: "But you are my son, and I cannot not protect you for a woman. I forgive you not only because you are my eldest son, but also because you are a descendant of Aisin Gioro. I cannot You have lost the face of the royal family." He changed the topic and suddenly spoke when the third elder brother was least prepared, "I heard that you often went to the clan mansion to visit Yunsi and the others a few days ago?"

"Yes, my son, like the emperor, also takes the royal family's face into consideration." The third elder brother wiped away his tears and sobbed before replying, "The emperor's grandmother was newly mourned, and the eighth uncle and the ninth uncle were imprisoned in the clan mansion. , very pitiful, I brought the news to them specially so that they could express their condolences, and also gave them some winter clothes and quilts."

"You are very kind-hearted." There was no hint of happiness or anger in the emperor's voice.

"Huang Ama, the eighth uncle has made a big mistake and deserves any punishment. However, all the sons under the late emperor are Huang Ama's brothers. I think that if the late emperor is alive, he will definitely want to see the descendants of Aixinjueluo." The situation of prosperous descendants is just like that of Emperor Ama, where the father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and sisters are respectful." The third elder brother thought he had said it perfectly, and his voice even contained a hint of the smile of surviving a disaster.

Stupid, really stupid.

The queen closed her eyes hard and couldn't bear to hear any more.

"What else?" The emperor asked again seriously.

Everyone could tell that the emperor was angry, but the third elder brother still didn't know: "There is also the fourteenth uncle, Huang Ama. The fourteenth uncle is my uncle, Huang Ama's brother, but he has been imprisoned. I remember that when the late emperor was here, the thirteenth uncle was imprisoned, and Emperor Ama even begged the late emperor for mercy. The fourteenth uncle was the most beloved son of the emperor's grandmother. However, the emperor's grandmother passed away, but he could not come to see her off..."

"Oh!"

The emperor suddenly threw the bead string in his hand on the ground and said angrily: "Evil! Do you think I am unfilial to the Queen Mother?" He stepped down from the couch and kicked the third elder brother hard, "Brother and friend Brother Gong, I am not friendly, so my younger brothers are not respectful. Father is kind and son is filial. I am not kind, so you are not filial! I am your emperor, and for your reputation, I will not hesitate to die unjustly. My lord, but you!" The emperor almost roared, "You are my son, but you keep defending the guilty minister!"

The third elder brother was dumbfounded and kept shouting, "I don't dare."

"When I first came to the throne, you saw how your eighth and fourteenth uncles made things difficult and were disrespectful. Today, you turn around and want to intercede for those who harmed me, colluding with them. , Disobey me!" The emperor slapped the table hard, "Your empress has been working hard to pull strings for you. She only hopes that you will become the prince as soon as possible. You are really worthy of being taught by her. Now you are also looking forward to my early death, so early. Will we replace it with land?"

The third elder brother was so frightened that he could not speak, but the queen, who could not sit still, walked out quickly, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am aware that I have no intention of doing this!"

The emperor ignored her and only looked at the third elder brother, with unconcealed pain in his eyes: "Hongshi, you are my eldest son. Although you are weak and incapable of talent, I have always disciplined you and treated you well. God Instead of showing mercy, you actually raised someone else's son." The emperor suddenly raised his voice, "Since you want to plead for your eighth uncle, just be his son!"

Regarding the completion - yes, it will probably be completed at the end of this month or early next month.
