Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 234
All civil and military officials in the court stood there, watching helplessly as the prince was taken away by the royal guards, but there was nothing they could do.When the prince passed by Sun Yanxi, he paused and glanced at him lightly.

Sun Yanxi understood this and bowed his head.Prince, I am entrusting my sworn sister Cheng Haitang to him!
The prince didn't know that Haitang was not there when the palace was searched in the East Palace. Haitang went to the palace of Concubine Ji to pay her respects.Concubine Ji smiled and said, "You are pregnant, and you don't even have to go to the Queen to ask for greetings. Why do you have to come to me specifically?"

Haitang supported Concubine Ji's arm and said with a smile: "You are the concubine's concubine mother, that is, my concubine mother. It is a courtesy to greet the empress, and it is a heartfelt greeting to you. Besides, pregnancy does not mean staying still, regular activities are the only way to do it." Okay."

After conversing with Concubine Ji and coming out of Qinghe Palace, Haitang, Shuang'er and Cai Lian walked through the garden as usual and took the shortcut back to the palace.The three of them were walking along the corridor with swaying spring flowers, pointing at the blooming flowers, when they suddenly saw a man wearing a monk's robe from a distance, flashing past in front of them.

"Mother, am I dazzled? I just saw a man running over." Cai Lian couldn't believe her eyes.How could there be a man in the inner palace?I must have seen it wrong.

"You read that right, it was a man in Taoist robes who ran out from behind the rocks over there!" Shuang'er said with certainty, she believed her eyes.

Haitang thought for a while and said, "Let's go around and take a look behind the rocks." The man ran so panicked just now, it must be something complicated.The three of them carefully walked around the rockery and squeezed in through the flowers.

This rockery is two people tall and is a rare giant Taihu stone. When you go around the back, you suddenly see a natural cave two or three steps deep.At this moment, a woman was lying on her back inside. Half of her body was in the cave and half of her body was outside. Her clothes were not covering her body and she was in a messy state.Even though Ling Shuang was bold, she couldn't help but scream softly.

Haitang composed herself. She wanted to go over and see if the person could be saved.When he saw the woman's face clearly, Haitang took a breath: Oh my God!Who is this if not Su Manzhen?
"It's... Concubine Su!" Shuang'er also exclaimed.

"Empress, what should I do..." Cai Lian was so frightened that her legs trembled.

Haitang walked over to check and found that Su Manzhen was no longer breathing.Haitang hurriedly took out the apricot ginseng pill and stuffed it into her mouth, and asked Shuang'er to pinch her body, while he took out the silver needle he brought with him and pierced her Shixuan acupoint, letting out a little blood.

Su Manzhen's eyelids moved and she opened her eyes. She tried her best to concentrate and recognized that the person in front of her who was rescuing her was the Crown Princess. She had mixed feelings and only uttered four words before glaring and dying.

What she said was: "The Taoist concubine's child"

"It's hopeless... Cai Lian, go call the guards!" Haitang and Shuang'er pulled her clothes together and tied them up, covering her body that she was proud of.

Taoist concubine’s child?What does Su Manzhen want to say?The person who raped her must be the man in Taoist robes who ran out. What does that man have to do with the Taoist concubine?Or does it have anything to do with the Taoist concubine’s child?
Several people looked at the guards carrying Su Manzhen's body out of the cave with questions on their heads.After all, this was the concubine in the Eastern Palace. She was raped and murdered in the imperial garden. It was an inner palace scandal.The queen ordered that the news be blocked, and only said that Concubine Su had a heart attack and died suddenly.

And the dead Su Manzhen could no longer tell anyone how wronged she was:
Su Manzhen went to report to Concubine Su early this morning. She had put the letter in the prince's study, and Concubine Su asked her to go back to the East Palace to wait for the news.After dealing with the prince, let her come out.When Su Manzhen walked to the Imperial Garden, she suddenly remembered that she had not taken the snacks that Concubine Su had given her, so she asked Qiaoer to go back and get the snacks, then walked to the stone bench next to the rock and sat down to wait for her.Unexpectedly, while sitting there, Su Manzhen heard a man and a woman whispering behind the rocks.

The man said: "You can't kick me after you're pregnant with the child! You said you have me in your heart."

The woman said: "I don't want to be with that old emperor every day, but do you have the ability to take us two far away? If you bear it any longer, after the child is born, I will find an opportunity to escape and find you. You must also be careful, The Queen will kill you to silence you!"

And such private things?Su Manzhen was shocked and rolled down from the stone bench she was sitting on.Her movement also shocked the two people talking inside.The man poked his head out and looked around. He saw that Su Manzhen was the only one outside. He jumped out, covered her mouth, and dragged her behind the rocks.

Now, Su Manzhen saw clearly that the woman speaking was the Taoist concubine who had just announced that she was pregnant with the emperor's child!She grabbed hold of Concubine Dao's skirt and shouted: "Concubine Dao, please spare me! I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything!"

It turned out that the emperor had been taking elixirs all year round. Although he looked majestic on the outside, he had been corroded and hollowed out on the inside, making it impossible for the Taoist concubine to become pregnant.If she couldn't conceive a child, the queen's plan fell through.Without the prince, whether the prince ascended the throne or King Kang ascended the throne, it had nothing to do with her.The most feared thing is that the emperor went crazy and left a will to bury her with him according to the old system. That is not impossible.

The queen didn't stop doing anything, so she found a strong and healthy domestic slave in the Wu Mansion, pretended to be a Taoist priest, and entered the palace to have sex with a Taoist concubine.Under the stimulation of stealing people, the young Taoist concubine fell in love with this masculine and fierce domestic slave.

Since the Taoist concubine became pregnant, the queen sent this slave back to Wu's Zhuangzi. Today he couldn't hold it in any longer and took advantage of Zhuangzi's opportunity to send melons and vegetables to the palace to enter the palace.He secretly changed into a Taoist robe and deceived the inner palace guards.The two met in the imperial garden.Before they even started making out, they bumped into Su Manzhen.

"Go away quickly! I'll take care of her!" The man covered Su Manzhen's mouth tightly and urged the concubine to leave.

After the concubine Dao left in a hurry, the man began to strangle Su Manzhen's neck, and Su Manzhen naturally struggled desperately.Unexpectedly, when she was twisting up and down, the turbulent waves attracted the man's attention. He couldn't help it, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you ruined my good deeds, I will show you mercy and let you do it before you die." Have fun for once!"

Su Manzhen struggled for a long time as he strangled her neck. She had already lost her strength. How could she push him away?She had no choice but to let the man do whatever he wanted on her.Seeing that Su Manzhen was gradually losing her breath under him, he hurriedly picked up his pants and left the cave.By chance, the three princesses saw him from a distance.

When Su Manzhen was lifted up by the guards, a delicate little jade ring fell from her hand. Haitang walked over, her skirt just covering the jade ring.

Shuang'er bent down and pretended to help the princess adjust her skirt, and quietly held the jade ring in her hand.
