The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 257
The queen mother looked at the noble concubine and reminded her: "The emperor misses the old love, and the Ai family also misses your understanding in the past, and has always been biased towards you, but you must not forget your identity, and let the emperor and the Ai family live up to their hearts."

As soon as these words came out, the thunder of nine heavens struck Concubine Yi's heart. It seemed that she abdicated the throne back then, and if she could be replaced, she would be the concubine today.

Thinking of this, a burst of dizziness hit her and she was almost unable to kneel. Fortunately, Aunt Ying was beside her to support her.

Although Aunt Ying was very upset for her master, she also knew that this was an irreversible matter, and Shen Yue was indeed more suitable for the latter position than her master.

But she couldn't give up on her master because of this. She lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment, and when she raised her eyes again, she was already angry and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Back to the queen mother, the empress punishes the servants first, and the master will not speak when he is angry. Choose words, offend the emperor."

Boqing smiled coldly, but Aunt Ying was loyal. In order to turn a big incident into a trivial one, she kept saying that the queen did not punish her.

Now, in order to keep Concubine Yi, he suddenly backtracked, and he must have guessed that their target today was not Concubine Yi, but her, deliberately giving the Queen a chance to punish her.

When the queen heard the words, she had a calm face, her face remained as calm as before.

The queen mother looked at her, nodded with a smile and said: "The Ai family knows that you have always been prudent, and you will never punish the people below for no reason. Although in your capacity, it is nothing to punish a maid in the palace, but in order to let Concubine Yi Take it with your heart, and just explain it with some words."

After finishing speaking, he patted the queen's hand comfortingly. This small gesture immediately made Concubine Yi's eyes red with jealousy. She was unwilling!
"I thank my mother for her trust." The queen quickly stood up and saluted solemnly: "With my mother's words, my son is not afraid of anything."

"Sit down quickly." The queen mother hurriedly asked Luoxia to help her sit down.

The queen looked at Aunt Ying, and said with a bit of aggrieved voice: "Because the emperor wanted to drink the tea made by his son, he also sent a special decree to ask Mrs. Zhong Shuling to send a jar of water to the palace. This tea is nothing. It's just that I'm afraid that what happened back then will happen again, not only hurting the emperor's dragon body, but also..."

The queen didn't finish her words, and everyone already knew why?
Not many people knew about the events back then, but the queen continued to say slowly: "Because the emperor is used to eating in the palace of Concubine Yi, so I thought of calling Aunt Ying who was next to Concubine Yi, and asked her about the changes in Changning Palace. What kind of snacks, dishes, and tea are you preparing today, can there be any food that is compatible with the tea brewed by my son."

"Mother, my son is really scared." The queen's hand caressed her flat abdomen without a trace, and the queen mother couldn't help feeling a burst of heartache when she saw it.

"Who knows, this servant actually thought that I was going to compete with her master, no matter what I asked, she would not speak out. I blamed her for abandoning the emperor's safety for her own selfishness, and punished her Kneeling, I hoped that she would repent, but I didn't expect that since Concubine Yi defended this slave girl so desperately and broke into Fengyi Palace, Mrs. Zhongshuling kindly persuaded her, but she was accused of seducing the emperor."

After the queen mother heard this, she couldn't help shouting angrily: "What an arrogant slave, who gave you the courage to disobey the queen, you should be beaten and kicked out of the palace."

Concubine Yi was shocked all of a sudden, her face was dazed, and she couldn't help secretly regretting that she was too impulsive.

Before she could recover, the queen wept softly: "Mother, the emperor likes my minister's tea, which is my blessing... In fact, my son is not afraid of being in the cold palace, not at all, just afraid, afraid... "

Before she finished speaking, the queen suddenly burst into tears, unable to utter a word. Thinking of what happened back then, the queen mother couldn't help feeling sad.

Boqing suddenly raised her head at this moment, and desperately followed up with the queen's words: "Back to the queen mother, the queen mother is afraid of the emperor, so I will give her a bowl of miscarriage medicine..."

"What do you mean Zaizhen give the queen another bowl of miscarriage medicine?" The emperor's majestic and angry voice suddenly came from outside.

Combined with the two shocks, everyone's hearts were hit by cunning, and their hearts beat involuntarily before recovering from the shock.

Everyone in the hall turned their heads one after another, only to see the emperor standing in the courtyard with an angry face, his sharp eyes fixed on the empress.

Seeing this scene, Boqing couldn't help secretly laughing, she had internal strength, she had heard the emperor's footsteps a long time ago, that's why she took the queen's words out of bounds, the purpose was to let the emperor hear.

The emperor had already lost the harmony of the past, strode into the hall, and said to the queen in a rage: "You'd better explain to me clearly, what does it mean that I will give you another bowl of abortion medicine, when did I give it to you?" Fertility medicine?" The woman was really unreasonable.

The queen was surprised and delighted, it turned out that it was true, it was not he who gave her the abortion medicine, and she didn't show it on her face.Turning his face away, he said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty knows what he has done, why bother to ask my concubine?"

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but get angry: "Of course I know what I have done, but I don't know what crime you have charged me with."

Concubine Yi's face turned extremely pale when she heard the words, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and she was all on Aunt Ying's body.

Aunt Ying didn't say anything, she just supported her tightly in secret, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.I don't know what Aunt Ying said, but Concubine Yi's expression changed and changed.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the emperor and the empress at this time, and they didn't notice the small movements of the master and servant, otherwise, another incident might happen.

The Queen Mother sat by the side and listened for a while, and gradually realized that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them, and she didn't want to interfere with these emotional matters, so she simply let them solve it by themselves, gave everyone a look, led them out of Fengyi Palace, and turned back directly. Her Compassion Palace.

As soon as everyone came to the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager couldn't wait to say: "Madam Zhongshu Ling, please tell Aijia what's going on, what's going on?"

Baoqing stepped forward and was about to kneel down, but was immediately stopped by the Queen Mother. He glanced at Concubine Yi and the others, and said with some hesitation on his face: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine also heard from the Prince. The specific process is not very clear. I only know that the Queen Mother The empress was misunderstood and murdered the emperor and put her in the cold palace. After more than a month, she found out that she was pregnant. She tried to get someone to inform the emperor, but she didn't know that the next day, instead of the emperor, she waited for the imperial edict ordering the empress to conceive , and a bowl of miscarriage medicine."

"Is this true?" The Queen Mother asked with a look of shock.

"The eunuchs and guards who worked in the cold palace back then knew that the emperor's father-in-law was the one who delivered the decree, and the imperial concubine heard that the prince said it was still in the queen's hands. The queen mother could tell the truth at a glance." As he thought about it, he looked at Concubine Yi and the others intentionally or unintentionally.

Hearing Boqing's words, Concubine Yi could hardly stand still. She didn't expect that after so many years, this matter would still be exposed, and she was so nervous that her palms broke out in cold sweat.

Aunt Ying looked at the fickleness, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, it was a good trick.

If it was just the crime of assaulting the queen, she would have to bear it alone, and at most she would be beaten before being kicked out of the palace.

Now adding the false preaching of the imperial decree and murdering the emperor's heir, that is the capital crime of punishing the nine clans of Lian, so it is a different matter.

Aunt Ying lowered her eyes and couldn't help thinking secretly.The queen and Mrs. Zhongshu Ling also mentioned this matter, so they must have made complete preparations.

When the truth is found out, not only the master and the others will be punished, but also the Li family. She has to find a way to prevent the entire army from being annihilated.

The Empress Dowager wiped her tears, and said with a lot of emotion: "The Ai family said, why the empress has been in the cold palace, and the whole person has changed after she came out. It turns out that there is such a reason. The empress has lived so hard these years. Aijia is also a mother, how can she not be sad when she sees her child flow away from her body, and it is also the order of her beloved man."

"The empress is also a very stupid child. Why didn't she tell the truth when she was released from the cold palace? The emperor will definitely punish the vicious person severely. She and the emperor wouldn't have had separate lives for so many years."

Boqing nodded slightly, although it was a misunderstanding, she did not sympathize with the emperor at all, if he had more trust in the queen, how could such a thing happen.

Empress Yu, there is nothing greater than heartbreak, so naturally she would not mention what happened in the cold palace. Her love for the emperor, along with that child, flowed out of her body.

After thinking about it tenderly, he knelt on the ground slowly, and saluted solemnly: "Queen Mother, although it has been many years since this matter happened, it is not without trace. The concubine is bold and hopes that the Queen Mother can find out about this matter and return The empress is fair."
