After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 68 Past events

Concubine Shu relied on Emperor Qingling's power to rise up, with a pair of watery eyes filled with affection.

The moment he lowered his head, it seemed as if he had hidden thousands of friendships, and every move he made made Emperor Qing Ling haunt him and make him very moved.

The prime minister and his wife looked at each other and knew what was going on.

Seeing how considerate Emperor Qing Ling was to Concubine Shu, it shouldn't be a bad thing to invite their family to dinner this time.

Because outsiders were present, Emperor Qingling did not hold Concubine Shu's waist, but stood beside her and looked at the prime minister and his wife: "Are you two accustomed to entering the palace this time?"

The Prime Minister saluted and said, "Thanks to the Emperor, everything is fine."

Emperor Qing Ling looked at the lady beside him with a calm expression: "I heard that Mrs. Zong had a serious illness just now and almost fainted. What's going on now? The imperial doctor is already waiting in the Yangxin Hall, ready to treat Mrs. Zong at any time. "

The lady knelt down and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just an old habit that's gone back to me. It's not a problem. Now the energy has passed."

Emperor Qing Ling nodded: "That's good."

Prince Heng stepped forward with profound meaning in his eyes. He looked at Concubine Shu and saluted, "I have met Concubine Shu."

He didn't give a big salute, he was just pretending.

Everyone present could see it, and their eyes became obscure.

Even Emperor Qing Ling's eyes darkened.

Concubine Shu didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "I have heard of Prince Heng for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see your true face. Now that I see you, you are so similar to the Queen. You are worthy of being your biological father and daughter."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Emperor Qing Ling lowered his eyes behind his hands.

Prince Heng's face also froze, and he said stiffly: "Concubine Shu is really sharp-tongued, no wonder she is so favored by the emperor."

Concubine Shu lowered her eyelids, her face turned slightly red, and she carefully glanced at Emperor Qing Ling beside her.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing Ling also happened to be looking at her.

She said shyly: "Your Majesty, Prince Heng is laughing at me like this, you have to make the decision for me!"

Her voice was melodious, and she really sounded like a demon concubine who was bringing disaster to the country.

The prime minister and his wife on the side lowered their heads in embarrassment.

The daughter flirted with the emperor in front of them, which was really unacceptable.

Especially the lady, whose well-maintained and graceful face is as red as the morning sun.

Prince Heng was filled with hatred, but with the Emperor present, he could not do anything to Concubine Shu.

After all, because of Concubine Shu's injury, the emperor already had some opinions about their family, and still suspected that he was responsible.

If he hadn't strongly requested to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit today, I'm afraid the emperor would have secretly dealt with Wu Ya's family.

At that time, even if he tried to save himself, it would be of no avail.

Now is not the best time to be exposed.

But this time the emperor called the prime minister's family to confront him in court. He really didn't know what the meaning was, so he could only proceed with caution.

He knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this."

Emperor Qingling ignored him and carried Concubine Shu towards the throne.

He pulled her to sit down, but Concubine Shu stood there and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I am just a concubine. How can I sit in the position of a queen? Eunuch Wei, add another seat to this palace."

Wei Weiran nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, empress."

Emperor Qing Ling raised his eyes and glanced at her, which was full of profound meaning.

After a long time, he said: "Since you insist, I'll keep you. However, you have an heir in your belly, so don't let anything happen to my child."

Concubine Shu lowered her head and knelt down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

She looked indifferent, but Concubine Shu's brainstorming had already begun.

Could it be that the emperor is testing the clan? When Wei Weiran asked someone to add a seat, the Fourteenth Master, who had been silent at the side, stood up.

"Brother Imperial, I'll go back first after I've finished eating."

Just as he was about to get up, Emperor Qing Ling looked up at him and said solemnly: "The fourteenth old man and the Prime Minister reunited with their old friends. Is there nothing to reminisce about?"

The Prime Minister suddenly raised his head and looked at Concubine Shu first.

Concubine Shu's pupils were also filled with shock.

This time, the emperor actually found out the relationship between her and the Fourteenth Master when she was young?

At that time, before she entered the palace, she saved the Fourteenth Master by accident.

I still remember that she was only fourteen years old that day. She went out to play with her family, but unfortunately she got lost. She was trapped in a cave alone. It rained again. The road was slippery in the rain, so she could only wait for the rain to stop.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, a man stumbled into the cave with blood on his body.

She was so scared that she held a long branch to scare the other person away, but the other person removed the branch from her, covered her mouth, and said feebly that he wanted her to look good if she dared to speak.

She was so scared that she could only huddle in the corner of the cave and tremble.

Just at this moment, footsteps sounded one after another outside the cave.

The other party's voice was extremely vicious: "It's strange that I was here just now, and why did I disappear so quickly?"

She was very scared, fearing that the other party would suddenly break in and kill her and the man together.

But the other party just searched nearby for a while and then left.

Later, after exiting the cave, she discovered that the man had blocked the entrance of the cave where one person was with branches and stones when he came in. Others looked outside and saw that it was just an ordinary stone wall.

The rain washed away the blood on the ground, and they couldn't trace the man at all.

By the time she came to her senses, there was no sound outside.

When she looked at the man cautiously, he had already fallen to the ground, his forehead was hot, and his whole face was red.

She took a quick look and saw that he had seven or eight stab wounds all over his body, and the wounds were two inches deep. It was obvious that they were trying to kill him.

She used all the medical skills she had learned in her boudoir to save his life.

Later, when the rain stopped, she was afraid that he would die alone in the cave, so she waited until he woke up before leaving.

It was also at that time that I heard him tell me his family background, and it turned out that he was the Fourteenth Master who was highly appreciated by the Holy Emperor.

Most likely the next emperor.

But who knew who would become the emperor in the end...

The Fourteenth Master was drunk and his cheeks were red. He looked at the Prime Minister and bowed: "I have taken the credit of the Prime Minister's salt patrol. I wonder if the Prime Minister can bear grudges against me?"

His words clearly meant that he had no personal relationship with the Prime Minister.

The so-called old friends are just doing things for the public.

The prime minister stood up and saluted: "They are all serving the imperial court. It doesn't matter who gets the final credit. Furthermore, although I was sent to patrol the salt in the early days, I didn't do half as good as the prince. In comparison, I Down below, even in heaven and on earth, I dare not take credit."

What he said was spot on.

He never mentioned anything about his acquaintance with the Fourteenth Master.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yao He climbed into the Fourteenth Master's high position. This matter was a top secret. He kept it secret in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Aunt Lian didn't tell.

At this time, he was even more cautious.

If this matter is revealed, the Prime Minister's Mansion may be destroyed.

The concubine who was still in the boudoir once lived in the same room with the prince alone, and she was afraid that Yao He would be imprisoned in a pig cage, and the Prime Minister's Mansion, not to mention the annihilation of the entire clan, would be punished by the same clan as the Jiang family.

He couldn't take any chances.

Prince Heng's voice suddenly sounded: "The Prime Minister and the Fourteenth Master said so, but did they deny the encounter between the Prime Minister and the Fourteenth Master when they were in Foshan that day?"
