Chapter 172 He Always Remembered (2)

The lights in Wan'an Palace were deserted, only a few palace people who were on duty at night were sitting.

Empress Dowager Wei didn't get up, the palace people passed in layer by layer, and then she got up and let Chonghua in, with a panicked and sad expression:
"It also said that I went to see her early, why did I go?"

Zhong Weiwei felt sick when he saw Queen Mother Wei pretending.

Chonghua obviously didn't want to act with Empress Dowager Wei, so he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"No one came to talk to me!" Seeing Chonghua's appearance, Queen Mother Wei finally couldn't help it.

He said angrily: "Now this palace doesn't know who is in charge. Such a big incident happened. My own niece got sick and died, and no one came to tell me!"

This is for Lu Chun.

Lu Chun had the highest rank, and she was in charge of palace affairs in name, so it was only natural to trouble her when something like this happened.

At such a time, she should show up no matter what, but she is not here, so it's no wonder that Queen Mother Wei wants to find fault:
"Where's Concubine Xian? Where has she gone? Let her come here immediately!"

Wei's and Lu's teamed up to make a set, and it was Wei's who suffered the loss and embarrassment of the dead, but Lu was unscathed. How could it be so easy!

There was a gap between Webster and Lu, which was what Chonghua and Zhong Weiwei wanted to see, so Zhong Weiwei just recorded the truth.

Chong Hua casually excused Lu Chun: "Perhaps Concubine Xu Xian has gone to Zhilan Hall."

Empress Dowager Wei suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red, and she glared fiercely at Chonghua: "Ah Rou is dead, Your Majesty is happy, right?"

Chonghua looked at Empress Dowager Wei calmly, and said very slowly: "How she died, Empress Mother should know better than me."

It is quite unfavorable for Wei Shi to find out how Wei Rou died.

Empress Dowager Wei immediately changed the subject: "Come here! Go to Zhilan Hall to see if Concubine Xian is there!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Chun appeared at the door, with a sad and sad expression: "Mother, please mourn!"

Wei Rou's death was expected by Empress Dowager Wei.

He intentionally kept Lu Chun from knowing, and pretended that he didn't know, just to catch Lu Chun's mistakes and vent his anger on Lu Chun.

However, Lu Chun not only knew, but also arrived in time.

This made the Empress Dowager Wei very resentful, and wanted to kill Lu Chun's prestige even more.

She pointed at Lu Chun with a stern voice: "Concubine Xian, Your Majesty and I think you are virtuous, so I entrust you with the palace affairs, and this is how you repay us?
Why was Concubine Shu seriously ill and no one sent her an imperial physician?Why did no one know about Ben Gong when she died?What do you eat? "

Lu Chun prostrated himself on the ground, neither admitting his mistake nor refuting it.

Empress Dowager Wei wanted to vent her anger so much that she jumped up to beat Lu Chun.

Chong Hua stretched out his arm and stopped her: "Don't do this, Queen Mother.

You and I both know that Concubine Shu's illness won't get better, and some things will get worse, and everyone's face will be ugly, so let's call it a day. "

Lu Chunwei trembled invisibly, and cautiously raised his eyes to look at Chonghua, as if he was very surprised that he would help her.

Empress Dowager Wei's face was very ugly: "Your Majesty is favoring Concubine Xian?"

"It's not about protecting anyone. I will protect whoever makes sense."

Chonghua glanced at Lu Chun meaningfully: "Get up, go and take care of the Zhilan Palace."

Lu Chun didn't dare to meet Chonghua's eyes, bowed palely, and hurriedly backed out.

Because I was too anxious, I even stepped on my own skirt and almost fell.

Empress Dowager Wei saw all this in her eyes, and became more and more convinced that Lu Shi and Chonghua colluded together, betrayed the covenant, and betrayed Wei Shi.

He was so angry and hated that he didn't show it on his face. He covered his eyes with his sleeves, wept bitterly, and said with a sob:
"I know Your Majesty is blaming me. I am old and my heart is unavoidable. I know that Concubine Shu deserves her wayward behavior, but I still feel that she died at a young age, which is very pitiful."

Chonghua lowered his eyes halfway and didn't speak.

Empress Dowager Wei peeked at this situation, and immediately stretched out her hand to hold Zhong Weiwei: "

Do you also think that the words of the envoy of Fanzhou are true?Doubt it's me? "

Zhong Weiwei perfunctory her: "The Empress Dowager is in too much grief at the moment, it is inappropriate to think about these sad things, let's rest at ease."

Empress Dowager Wei wiped her tears: "You don't believe me, I'm so wronged!

yes!I really hope that Wei Rou can be favored, after all, she is my niece, but I can still tell the difference between right and wrong!

The Fanzhou people won and swept away the face of His Majesty and Li Guo, what good is it for me?
I was married to the first emperor for decades, and I was terrified. For the sake of my family and country, I sent my daughter and son away. What do you want from me? "

She went to pull Chonghua's hand and let him see the old wound on her wrist: "I know you have always blamed me, but I really couldn't do anything about the situation back then.

Emperor Zhenzong couldn't give birth to a son, so he was suspicious. He always thought that your father was going to take his seat, and tried every means to make things difficult for your father.

You were sick when you were young, and once you had a high fever that persisted, the imperial doctor said that if you don’t cool down, you will become a fool.

Emperor Zhenzong had special medicine in his hand, but he refused to take it out. Your father knelt outside the palace for a whole night before he begged for a pill.

The imperial doctor said that one pill is not enough, and you need human blood to make the medicine. I cut my hand and gave you my blood to make the medicine! "

Although it was arranged by the emperor's grandfather, it is indeed not that easy for the father to succeed to the throne.

Chonghua still had some impressions of what happened when he was a child, and he couldn't help being slightly moved when he heard Queen Mother Wei mention it.

Empress Dowager Wei saw that he was loose, and immediately followed him: "Later, your father encountered accidents several times, and almost died several times.

I have no choice but to send your sister to the Saintess Palace to run for the Saintess. Only in this way can I use the reputation of the Saintess Palace to protect your father and you.

I asked your sister, she is willing, willing to go to the Saintess Palace for your father and younger brother.

That's why I sent her there, and you, if you are not a mother, don't care about you, don't want you, I really have no choice...

Your father is in a state of obsession, forcibly separated our mother and child, and always speak ill of me to you..."

When Chonghua heard this, his expression that had just loosened up became cold again, and he said lightly:
"There is no need to mention what happened back then. It is meaningless to find out who is right. If the queen mother wants to see Concubine Shu, then go. If she doesn't want to see, then don't mention it."

Empress Dowager Wei had just done something wrong and was caught, so she was very guilty, and immediately stopped crying obediently, and said tentatively:

"Your Majesty, although Concubine Shu did something wrong, it was because she loved you too much, can you let her be buried according to her rank?
After all, your childhood sweethearts are friendships with children..."

If Wei Rou is still buried according to the rank of concubine, it is not Wei Rou who will have face, but Wei Shi.

This will give the imperial court the impression that Webster is still powerful and able to control the imperial power.

Even if her daughter made such a big mistake, she can still be buried in a grand manner, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor still succumbed to Webster's authority after all.

Then, many people who were originally on the sidelines will move closer to Webster.
