Harem for a living

Chapter 226

When the emperor came over in the evening, it was already late, Xiaosi went back early, and Xiaowu also took away Xiaoba who was pestering Chen Manrou to death.When the emperor entered, the room was quiet, his little wife was sewing clothes by the dim candlelight, when she heard the movement, she first raised her head and smiled sweetly, then hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The emperor took two quick steps, and raised his hand to support Chen Manrou's arm: "Rou'er, you don't need to be polite to our husband and wife, you don't need to be polite."

As usual, Chen Manrou stood up with a smile, untied the emperor's big cloak and hung it aside, then said a few words of concern in a gentle voice, and asked someone to bring dinner.The emperor has been busy in Qianqing Palace for a long time, and he has a good appetite at the moment, basically he ate all the dishes that Chen Manrou picked up.

After dinner, routine bed-rolling activities.But after the rolling this time, the emperor didn't fall asleep in a hurry, but stroked Chen Manrou's back, hesitant to speak.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you can't tell me?" Chen Manrou put one hand on the emperor's chest, raised her head and asked with a smile. She had just been nourished for a while, and now her brows are affectionate and her face is full of spring, which is very interesting. A bit seductive and enchanting.

"Rou'er, I have wronged you today." The emperor pondered for a while before saying softly. Chen Manrou froze for a moment, then smiled, with joy in the corners of her eyes and brows: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that before? In the meantime, there is no need to say anything polite, not to mention, from the beginning to the end, I know that you, the emperor, will protect me. Otherwise, I wouldn't take it so seriously. "

The emperor thought for a while, and laughed. As expected, no matter what Tang Wan'er said, the empress didn't seem to be in a hurry.If ordinary people encountered this kind of thing, they would be overwhelmed by fear, but it turned out that their little wife was fine, and she was still in the mood to defend the princess.

I only knew that my little wife was resilient, but I didn't expect that she was also courageous.However, it doesn't matter if you are courageous, you can be the mother of a country only if you are courageous.Moreover, the little wife trusts herself more.

With her standing in front, the little wife doesn't have to spend all her time dealing with these things.Compared with the previous ones, this is very good.

The emperor couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he thought of the three sons who had been successively.If at the beginning, she could trust herself and not forcefully break out of Yongshou Palace, wouldn't she be able to have one more son?
But soon, the emperor calmed down his mood.The deceased has passed away, and things have passed for so long, and there is no point in entangled with them.What I like now is this petite and lovely wife in my arms.

The most important thing is to live well now and protect the person in my arms.I believe in her, and she also believes in herself, and this should be the case between husband and wife.

It didn't take long before the Emperor's desk had an additional survey booklet, which clearly recorded the times and times Tang Zhaorong sent things to Nansan and the items they sent, as well as the phenomenon that the second prince suddenly appeared frequently in Ci'an Palace .

Often when the second prince appeared in Ci'an Palace, Tang Zhaorong would always be there.

The emperor looked at Zhezi with a gloomy expression. The second prince is 15 years old this year.Last year's draft was delayed, and it's time to refer to marriage in the next draft.Once you refer to marriage, you are an adult, and it is time to move out of the palace and build a mansion.

Now that she's out of the palace, if there are no contacts in the palace, it's natural that she won't be able to know what happened in time.Although the harem cannot interfere with the former dynasty, what happened in the harem will definitely have a great influence on seizing the heir.

His eyes darkened, the emperor took another booklet from the desk, it was played by the Ministry of Rites, and it was about the second prince's building a mansion, the site selection and so on had to be prepared in advance.The emperor picked up a pen and wrote a few words, then put the notebook aside.

Because the emperor and the queen mother said before that Tang Wan'er was injured and needed to rest, so the queen mother Ci'an didn't bother to see Tang Wan'er these days, but she couldn't see Tang Wan'er and was very worried, so she came to pay her respects Chen Manrou became a punching bag.

Chen Manrou has built a road over the years - no matter the wind from southeast to northwest, I will stand still.The queen mother said it was the queen mother's, so she lowered her head as if she was listening to the teaching, and then planned to make something for Xiao Si to replenish her body at noon.

I don't know what the emperor meant when he said that a few days ago, if it was really that kind of plan, Xiaosi would have to be more careful in the future, after all, there is a third prince above Xiaosi.Compared with the second prince's natal family who couldn't get up, the third prince's natal family has developed very rapidly in recent years.

Moreover, the emperor is only in his 40s, if he lived to his seventies and eighties like Gan Xiaosi, it might not be a good thing to say that he should be a crown prince so early.She absolutely can't let her little four become a short-lived ghost like Yonglian, the prince who did little four, let alone let her little four become a tragedy like Yinreng, the prince of Kangxi.

Therefore, she had to analyze various situations, and then let her family, as well as Xiao Si, make preparations to deal with it.

Although Xiaosi is now able to take care of herself, but how old the child will be, that is also the child in the mother's heart, and she has no choice but to worry about it.

Three days, whether it is long or not, is not short.Soon, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice wrote the booklet.Although the notes are written clearly, some parts are not written.Even if the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has great power, without the presence of the emperor, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice cannot search the harem or interrogate the concubine, so this note only writes about the previous things.

Mrs. Jinghe was originally a foreigner, and she only came to the capital in the eighth year of Yonghe.Before becoming a monk, Jing and his wife had a cousin who was childhood sweetheart. Later, Jing and his wife's family fell into decline, and that cousin married another lady who was well-matched.

Only half a year ago, that cousin came to the capital suddenly, and when he was passing by that temple, he accidentally saw Jing and his wife standing outside.Then, the cousin would go to Jing and Mrs. Tai from time to time, saying that it was not what he wanted to marry a newcomer at that time.

Then back and forth, the two hooked up together.Empress Dowager Ci'an's birth date was also given by her sweetheart.Of course, that cousin wouldn't bluntly say that it was the Queen Mother's birth date, otherwise, Jing and Mrs. Tai would not necessarily do such a thing.

The man only said that this was the birth date of his wife's mother. Jing and Shitai hated the man's new wife deeply, so naturally they cursed the wife's mother with all their strength, and handed it to the man by the way. pack medicine.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice investigated the cousin's identity and background, as well as who he had contact with before and after entering Beijing, and investigated clearly.The person behind the scenes did not surprise the emperor at all—it was a member of the Tang family.

It's just that the Tang family has learned so well that the direct branch doesn't even show their faces, and everything is sidelined.The one who bought that cousin was a bastard from a down-and-out branch of the Tang family. He went out to drink a few days ago and accidentally fell into the moat and drowned.

The one who sent the poison into the palace was arranged by Tang Wan'er following the Queen Mother's hand.Tang Wan'er first used the excuse that she missed the dim sum made by her mother, so the Empress Dowager Ci'an naturally sent someone out of the palace very distressed.Then, the poison entered the palace, and things went much smoother in the future.

The latter ones were the ones the emperor asked the hidden guards to investigate.Ever since he suspected that Tang Wan'er was getting too close to the second prince, he decided to investigate the harem carefully.Tang Wan'er's affairs should naturally be investigated first.

Rubbing between his brows, the emperor felt a little embarrassed.This matter was led by Tang Wan'er, he was not surprised at all, he was just not sure how to tell the Queen Mother about this matter.In any case, it is to make the queen mother sad and angry, which is not good for her health.

But it must be said that during this period of time, the empress has been obedient to the empress dowager and is very respectful, but the empress treats the empress... If the empress dowager is not allowed to see Tang Wan'er's true face, I am afraid that the future empress will not have an easy life.

The empress is someone who wants to work hand in hand with him for the rest of his life. In the future, if the dowager is pushed by Tang Wan'er to have any thoughts about the queen, wouldn't he want to disobey the empress?Then it would be better to take advantage of the present and kill all the signs.

Tang Wan'er can't stay, so she must tell the Queen Mother about this matter.But how to say, you must have a plan.To put it lightly, Tang Wan'er might continue to commit crimes.To put it more seriously, I was worried that the queen mother would not be able to bear it.

The emperor thought about it all night and couldn't think of any good solution. Seeing that it was time to go to court, he had no choice but to let things go.When he arrived at the court hall, he saw the two brothers of the Chen family standing among the civil servants, the emperor hesitated for a moment.

This matter has already spread from the harem to the front.But the Chen family didn't say a single word from the very beginning, and they didn't send anyone to the harem to inquire.Is it possible that such a heartfelt courtier really wants to chill them?
Thinking about it, the emperor made a decision in his heart.

After the morning court, I went directly to Ci'an Palace.The queen brought the concubines to pay their respects in the Ci'an Palace. When the emperor came in, the smiles on the faces of a group of Yingying and Yanyan were more distinctive. They were either sweet, gentle, charming, or charming. Shy and tactful, in short, you must show your best side.

It's a pity that the emperor couldn't see it, so the emperor strode up to the empress dowager, and after sitting down, he frowned and waved his hands: "Empress, you should take them out first."

Chen Manrou saluted and led the people out.Faintly heard the Empress Dowager Ci'an ask: "The emperor, what do you want to say? How is Wan'er's injury? Those quack doctors in the Tai Hospital haven't made Wan'er get better?"

Chen Manrou sat on the phoenix chariot, lowered the curtain, and then smiled. I am afraid that the emperor came this time to tell the queen mother about the witchcraft poisoning incident.Although it is poisoning in the end, the process is witchcraft, and the witchcraft in the middle cannot be erased just because of the final poisoning.

Sure enough, less than an hour after Chen Manrou returned to Yongshou Palace, news came from Ci'an Palace that the Queen Mother had fainted.Afterwards, the emperor's imperial decree came out—to deprive Tang Wan'er of her position as Zhao Rong, and she will live in Tai Chi Palace today and will never go out.

Another imperial decree was sent directly to the former court - since Uncle Zhongyong was demoted, there are still a large number of people in the Tang family who are officials in the court. The emperor's imperial decree is to deal with all the officials of the Tang family involved. Fan.Except for the severe punishment of the mastermind, the rest still have official positions.

After all, that is also the emperor's family, if they are all white, the emperor's face will not look good.

Chen Manrou didn't care about it before, but she felt very speechless about the imperial decree of the harem. It's normal for her to be imprisoned for life.But after depriving Zhao Rong of his status, he didn't even have any individual status. Is the emperor planning to make Tang Wan'er a white body?

Then a white body was imprisoned in the palace?Anyway, the palace ladies who are a bit dignified in the palace are all of high class.This face was slapped, but the dumplings were swollen into buns.
