The concubine rushed forward!

Chapter 40
Gu Panfu entered Yingxuan servant's residence, the emperor and empress were there, and Yun Zhaorong, the birth mother of the eldest prince, was also present.There are two children kneeling on the cushion in the center of the room, they are the eldest prince and the second prince.

"The concubine sees the emperor, and the empress. The concubine heard that Yingxuan's servant fell into the water, so she came to visit." Gu Panfu saluted slightly.

The queen had someone give her a seat, and she just sat down.Concubine Jia, Yan Yunu and the others are also here.

The eldest prince knelt so straight, but he was only seven years old after all, his eyes were red, he bit his lower lip tightly, his hands on both sides of his body were tightly clenched, and he still couldn't restrain his body trembling.

The second prince was even younger, unable to even kneel, and sat slumped on the cushion.Probably because of the natural fear of the elders, he was so out of breath from crying that he hiccupped, but he couldn't help but keep silent, and wiped his tears with his little hands.

Gu Panfu glanced at Yun Zhaorong, who leaned forward, frowning, eyes full of anxiety and distress.

The second prince's biological mother, Ke concubine, did not come to the palace because the emperor only asked the second prince to follow him. Ke concubine was worried that the second prince would go out by himself, so she had already helped the second prince to decline.But when the second prince found out, he ran to the Taichen Palace and cried and begged, but Concubine Ke couldn't hold back his son, so he had to let him go.

The eldest prince and the second prince lived together in the Ruiqing Hall behind Guanhai Hall, and Kebi sent her confidant nuns to follow the second prince closely, and the Ruiqing Hall was almost full of people serving them.

"Father," the eldest prince Xie Zhaoyan kowtowed first in the stalemate in the room, and said, "It's my son's fault. My son didn't stop the second younger brother, who accidentally pushed Yingxuan into the water."

As soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and the second prince couldn't care less about crying, and stared at the first prince with wide eyes.

The cause of this incident is actually very simple, that is, the first prince and the second prince were catching toads by the lake, and met Yingxuan servant who came to swim in the lake.The waiter Yingxuan just entered the palace and naturally didn't recognize the appearance of the prince, but after being reminded by the maid around him, he realized that it was the eldest prince and the second prince, so he thought of making fun of it.But the two children were born in the royal family and lived in the palace for three or four years. In their eyes, this kind of little concubine, whom their father favored newly, was not as good as the little eunuch who played with them.

Seeing that the two of them ignored him, Yingxuan felt a humiliation of being looked down upon.The words were no longer so polite, and they also talked about Yun Zhaorong and Kebin.The second prince and Kebi's mother and son had a very good relationship, so naturally they couldn't listen to Yingxuan's words, so they rushed over and pushed a few times.But how strong a five-year-old child can be, he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by Ying Xuan.

The second prince became frightened and struggled desperately.The waiter Yingxuan couldn't hold him back, at this time the eldest prince also rushed over, and after going back and forth, the second prince finally broke free from his wrist, but when the waiter Yingxuan raised his eyes, he fell into the water with a "plop".

Before Gu Panfu came, the queen had already sent someone to interrogate all the palace people who were present at that time, and none of them saw it.Because the two princes were going to the lake, they were afraid of accidents, so Wu Yangyang followed a large group of people. When Yingxuan grabbed the second prince's wrist, all the people who served the second prince rushed forward. The confidante sent by the concubine even shouted questions, and the scene became chaotic.

"Ah Xing, look at the emperor and tell the emperor if it is the Yingxuan servant you recommended?" The emperor's emotions and thoughts are rarely seen by others.Just like now, the emperor's expression was as usual, and his voice even contained the gentleness of coaxing a child.

"Father, hiccup. Father and son are not, son is really not... woohoo, father..." The second prince, Xie Zhaoxing, seemed to have just recovered, stood up excitedly and walked forward After two steps, he reacted and knelt down, crying.

"Second brother, he didn't mean it. It was Yingxuan who grabbed the second brother's wrist, and Yingxuan fell into the water while the second brother was struggling." The eldest prince said eagerly, as if he was really speaking for the second prince, " Royal father, I really don't blame the second brother."

Gu Panfu heard the words of the eldest prince, and looked sideways slightly, little friend, you use green tea to speak brilliantly.

The second prince couldn't hear anything wrong with what the eldest prince said, he kept crying like a faucet that couldn't be turned off.

Yun Zhaorong, who was crying, became more and more anxious, almost restless, she leaned forward a little bit, and looked at the emperor and queen from the corner of her eye.

There was no anger on the faces of the emperor and the empress, and the empress looked more like watching children playing.

At this time, there was a choking sound from the inner room, and it was Yingxuan who woke up.Immediately after was the voice of the maidservant whispering, another maidservant of Yingxuan came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, empress, my master is awake, and I want to say something to the emperor, empress."

"Yes," the emperor replied.

Yingxuan's soft and slightly hoarse voice came through the bed curtain, "Your Majesty, Empress, the concubine is fine. I think the two princes were unintentional, so don't blame the two of you, Your Majesty. Prince."

These words directly put the shit pot that pushed her into the water directly on the heads of the two princes.

Yun Zhaorong's face suddenly changed, even showing anger.A person like her, who grew up within the rules and regulations, usually would not interrupt the emperor and queen's questioning at all.Now I can't hold back anymore, "Your Majesty..."

The queen stopped Yun Zhaorong with a look, her tone became cold, and she asked, "How did servant Yingxuan fall into the water?"

"Concubine...Concubine's calf was kicked, and she fell down when she couldn't stand still."

"Who did you see?"

"This..." Waiter Yingxuan hesitated, and his voice gradually decreased.

"Presumptuous," the queen saw Yingxuan was hesitating, she knew she hadn't seen who it was, and immediately yelled loudly, "I have never seen it with my own eyes, and dare to frame the prince on something without evidence."

"Concubine, concubine... Your majesty..." Yingxuan did not expect the queen to get angry suddenly, it was obvious that she fell into the water, except for the two princes, how could the other palace people have the courage.

The emperor stood up, a little impatient in his heart.In the heart of the emperor, tens of thousands of servants Yingxuan are not worth two princes. Even if the servant Yingxuan fell into the water and drowned today, as the emperor and father, it is not easy for him to cover up for his children, so he has always wanted to protect his children from the very beginning. He didn't intend to blame the two of them, "Okay, it was an accident that Yingxuan servant fell into the water, let's keep it."

"Your Majesty," the Empress also stood up, stopped the Empress who was walking out, looked at the Second Prince and said, "I'm afraid Ah Xing was frightened, this child is still young. The concubine is thinking about calling Ke Concubine over too." , it will be better to have mother and concubine to take care of her."

The emperor lowered his head and glanced at the second prince who was crying until he had no strength left, and was a little helpless: "The queen can arrange it."

When Gu Panfu left Yingxuan's office, the second prince was still muttering to himself, saying that he didn't push Yingxuan to be his servant, that his father didn't believe him, and so on.Seeing that the child was a little dazed, the queen called the imperial doctor and took the second prince to the Penglai Hall for fear of accidents.

Qingmei supported Gu Panfu to walk back slowly, "I don't know who did it, but I don't know if this servant is pitiful looking at the Second Prince crying, it probably wasn't the Second Prince's doing."

Gu Panfu smiled, "Who knows, the two princes are still young."

On the other side, Yun Zhaorong didn't care about palace rules and etiquette, and dragged the eldest prince away faster and faster.The eldest prince did not shake it off a few times, and finally pulled the railing on the side of the road to make Yun Zhaorong stop, "If there is anything to do with the concubine, let me talk about it here, and my son has to go back to Ruiqing Hall to do it." homework."

Looking at the cold and stubborn son in front of him, Yun Zhaorong became even more angry: "It's impossible for you to act like everyone is a fool, and you can't tell that you did it. How many times have I taught you to be cautious and follow the rules, If you want to be obedient, why don't you listen?"

"Yes, it's just how I did it, that I pushed Yingxuan into the water and blamed my second brother, what, mother and concubine are going to sue the emperor!?" The eldest prince seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and roared loudly .

Yun Zhaorong was stunned for a moment, and the strength in his hands could not help but loosen, "I... how could I go..."

"I thought that mother and concubine only had those rules and etiquette in her heart, without my son." The eldest prince took the opportunity to shake off Yun Zhaorong's hand, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and the more he talked, the more he couldn't help crying, "Although the second brother's biological mother is not I came here, but I was afraid that my second brother would have a bad life, so I brought a group of palace people and things, and sent greetings every three days. As for my mother and concubine, I was forced to recite books since I was a child. The emperor took me to Zhaoqing Palace (the residence of the prince in the palace, behind the Taichen Palace). The mother and concubine are always scrupulous about the palace rules. How many times do they visit me in a month? When they meet, they just endorse, endorse, mother and concubine Have you ever cared about me?!"

"I... I'm afraid your father will be unhappy, if I always go to you... it's not good." Yun Zhaorong was questioned by his son for the first time, and he was at a loss for a while.

"But father and emperor never said that mother and concubine can't come to see me. If I didn't ask for it, mother and concubine would not even take the initiative to give something." Here, I don't know how much I have heard gossip from the palace people around me.There was already resentment in my heart, but this time with the second prince as a comparison, I felt even more sour.

The eldest prince grabbed the purse from his waist and threw it in front of Yun Zhaorong, "If my concubine doesn't like me, why did she give birth to me?"

Yun Zhaorong stared blankly at the purse that had been covered with a little dust, and didn't even have time to pull the eldest prince away.She sewed it after staying up all night, and specially rusted the ruyi pattern, and added herbs to help sleep.She leaned against the railing softly, without any strength in her whole body.

Her court lady Su Xin picked up the purse, and squatted down worriedly: "Master..."

Yun Zhaorong blankly took the purse in Su Xin's hand, and after a long while said softly: "Su Xin, I am doing it for his own good. I... am not favored by the emperor, if I go all the time, I'm afraid it will annoy the emperor. Besides, those rules and etiquettes don’t need to be learned, he is the eldest son, if he doesn’t read more books to please the emperor, how hard life will be.”

Su Xin followed Yuan Zhaorong and knew the situation between her and the eldest prince.In his heart, he actually felt that Yun Zhaorong was a bit too much, the eldest prince was still a child, and now when he needed maternal love the most, the master's behavior would wipe out the eldest prince's feelings for her.

"Master, don't be sad. The eldest prince is still young, and after a few years, he will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

"Su Xin, Ah Yan is my own child, how can I not love him, why doesn't he understand?" Yun Zhaorong stood up while supporting the railing, she still felt that the eldest prince was too willful, she had to think again Think of a way, and then think of a way.
