Chapter 51: That’s forcing the Ai family to die

What are they thinking of?

That is to use public opinion to put pressure on the royal family so that the Queen Mother can order Nan Sheng to be killed.

On the streets of Kyoto the next day, although there was no snow disaster in Kyoto, many people around Kyoto were affected by the disaster.

Human beings are not like grass and trees, who can be ruthless. In the face of such a catastrophe, the people of Kyoto will inevitably be worried and worried about the snow disaster. They are also discussing the situation of the snow disaster after tea and dinner.

But as soon as the news came out that Concubine Sheng was pregnant, and she was not the emperor's child, the tide suddenly changed.

Everyone started talking about Concubine Sheng's pregnancy.

There is no way, royal gossip can affect people's hearts more than a snow disaster. This is the bad nature of human nature.

If the needle can't prick you, you will never know how painful it is.

"Hey, have you heard? Our wise and mighty emperor was cuckolded by his concubine?"

"What? The concubine is pregnant, but she is not the emperor. It's really shocking."

"No, I'm sober from a three-day hangover. I just don't know how the royal family will handle this matter?"

"How to deal with it? Haha, I heard that the Queen Mother who is currently in the palace has no intention of dealing with it at all. It seems that she is conniving at Concubine Sheng's affair with Hong Xing and has no regard for the emperor's face."

……

Such rumors quickly spread in the streets and alleys, like a scourge, unstoppable and difficult to control.

You must understand that the royal family values ​​​​face the most, how can they accept such rumors that are not good for the royal family's face?

When the Queen Mother found out, she was so angry that she broke a vase that she loved so much.

"How could such royal secrets get out?"

"Check, check for the Ai family. What is going on? Who spread the news? The Ai family must catch this person and cut his body into pieces."

The powerful nuns beside the Queen Mother all had sullen faces and hurriedly went to check, not daring to slack off.

The remaining people who were waiting carefully asked: "Empress Dowager, do you think we should deal with Concubine Sheng first? Only in this way can the rumors be broken and the royal family's face can be saved."

The Queen Mother did not speak, with a cold face, and kept twirling the beads in her hand, as if she was thinking about something.

The nanny added: "Otherwise, such rumors will not stop."

"But this matter is obviously aimed at Concubine Sheng. The Ai family cannot knowingly know that someone is targeting Concubine Sheng and still add fuel to the flames." After thinking for a long time, the Queen Mother finally spoke.

"What's more, Ah Lin values ​​Concubine Sheng the most. No matter what, the Ai family has to help him save her first. As for how he will deal with Concubine Sheng after he knows this, that is Alin's own business. The Ai family will not Intervene.”

"What about the Queen Mother, the royal dignity? Don't you want it anymore?" Nanny was worried.

"Of course I want it." The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said: "Mother Liu, you also send people to spread rumors, saying that the child pregnant by Concubine Sheng is the emperor's, and that someone deliberately smeared the royal family to confuse the public. , let’s save the royal family’s face for a few days.”

When it was no longer possible to save it, the emperor came back.

As soon as the emperor comes back, this matter can be solved and the royal family's face can be saved.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

...

Picking the Star Building.

There is so much commotion inside and outside the palace about Nan Sheng's pregnancy. Everyone wants Nan Sheng to die. It's hard for Nan Sheng not to know about it.

How did she know?

Xiaoyu told her.

Xiaoyu took the peace talisman sent by Nan Sheng out of the palace and gave it to her father. After using it, her father's health really got better day by day. Xiaoyu's friend brought her the good news.Xiaoyu was really happy.

Her father finally got better. The peace charm given by Concubine Sheng was really useful. It saved her father and her mother who had been suffering for half her life.

However, Xiaoyu was only happy for a moment, and then she couldn't be happy anymore, because her friend also told her that now, everyone inside and outside the palace wanted Concubine Sheng to die because of her pregnancy.

Xiaoyu immediately burst into tears and didn't care to continue talking to her friend. She hurriedly returned to Nan Sheng and told him about the incident.

After hearing this, Nan Sheng said lightly.

Xiaoyu said: "Your Majesty, this servant is worried about you to death. Why are you still looking so calm and indifferent!"

"It's useless to be nervous, and it's useless to be afraid." Nan Sheng spread his hands, "It's better to just leave it like this."

"But, my queen, there are many bad people who want to force you to death. Even if the queen mother is trying to protect you for a while, under such pressure, the queen mother will sooner or later be unable to withstand it."

Nan Sheng still didn't take it seriously, "Xiaoyu, where's lunch? It's already lunch time, why haven't we seen lunch yet?"

"Mother, how can you only think about eating?"

Xiaoyu is really worried to death.

Nan Sheng should be eating and drinking, so he didn't seem to be that nervous.At night, she went to the roof to watch the stars again.

...

As Xiaoyu said, the Queen Mother could withstand the temporary pressure and persuade the royal family members and courtiers who wanted Nan Sheng to die, but she could not withstand the persecution of the officials!

There was actually a public official who, regardless of right or wrong, risked his life to admonish the Queen Mother for this matter, and asked the Queen Mother to kill Concubine Sheng immediately as a warning to others.

There are also students who are Yan Guan's classes in the Imperial College. They are full of enthusiasm and do not know the truth of the world. After learning this, they are very excited and blindly follow Yan Guan to remonstrate with them.

In one day, one courtier and three students died.

This is no small matter.

If it is not handled well, not only will the outside of the palace fall into chaos due to the snowstorm, but the palace will also be unavoidable.

The Queen Mother was well aware of these truths and the importance of balancing the courtiers, so she could only take a step back and meet with the royal family members and important ministers to ask them what they wanted.

"Of course I would like to ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to kill Concubine Sheng and her unholy son."

"Only by killing Concubine Sheng can this matter be settled."

The courtiers refused to give in, so the Queen Mother had no choice but to order someone to invite Concubine Sheng.

She hoped that Concubine Sheng could confess her innocence, and then she would help her, so that Concubine Sheng could be exempted from the death penalty for the time being. She would try to deal with it first, whether it was putting Concubine Sheng in jail or grounding her, and she would first give an explanation to those officials who were admonishing her with death. Just drag it on for a few days.

As long as the emperor comes back, everything will be easy to handle.

However, the Queen Mother sent someone to Jinyue Pavilion to invite Concubine Sheng, but Concubine Sheng was not invited.

Those who went there brought back a message.

Before the emperor left the palace, he secretly imprisoned Concubine Sheng in the Zhaixing Tower.

Everyone knows where the Star Reaching Tower is.

The Queen Mother suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the officials in front of her who refused to let Concubine Sheng go, and asked: "Everyone, the emperor has ordered Concubine Sheng to be imprisoned in Zhaixing Tower. Do you want to resist the order? Get Concubine Sheng out of the Star-Zhaing Tower and then execute Concubine Sheng?"

"This..." The officials couldn't answer.

The Queen Mother continued: "Since the beginning of my dynasty, only the emperor has the right to open the door of Zhaixing Tower. No one else can, and the Ai family is no exception."

"If you insist on forcing the Aijia to open that door, you are forcing the Aijia to die."
