Long Harem Road

Chapter 33

"The concubines have any clues, do you want to talk?" The emperor glanced at the concubines with low brows and pleasing eyes, and said coldly.

The crowd was even more silent, they didn't dare to breathe, they were afraid of being singled out by the emperor and losing their favor, did you see that the empress and empress were all angered by the emperor?
"Since it's all right, let's all go back. Stay in your own palace for the next few days. Don't go out to cause trouble if you have nothing to do. The queen should go and get busy too." The emperor stood up, straightened the dragon robe on his body, and strode away, leaving Give the people behind you a chic back.

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

After the emperor left, the empress also got up with Nanny Sun's support, she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, her body swayed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, all sisters, go back, after you go back, you must obey the emperor's orders, don't gossip everywhere. "

"Yes, the concubine is resigning!" Although everyone was gloating at the empress, they did not dare to show it blatantly. They continued to touch the empress' bad luck, and they all retired respectfully and in order of rank.

Back at Cuiluxuan, Baozhu sat on the embroidered pier and raised her eyebrows, letting Huanxi pinch her shoulders to relax, Huanxi knew it well, led the servants in the hall to retreat one by one, and then stood guard at the entrance of the hall.

"Happy, saw Wang Jieyu today, did you find anything wrong?" Seeing the person stepping back, Baozhu asked.

"Returning to Master, Wang Jieyu's body is normal, but this servant finds that there is something wrong with Chunhua beside her."

"Speak carefully." Baozhu straightened her body and said solemnly.

"Yes, master! The servant girl smelled that the hair oil used by Chunhua exudes a sweet fragrance. This is a hair oil commonly used by low-level folk women. There is no problem with this.

However, the ingredients in this hair oil conflicted with the blind herbal medicine in the miscarriage-preserving prescription. Looking at Wang Jieyu's physical condition, the servant guessed that she had already been tricked. "Happy thought for a while, and said cautiously.

"Clash? What will be the consequences?" Baozhu was taken aback when she heard the words. Although she had already guessed that Wang Jieyu's pregnancy would have problems and someone would plot against her, she did not expect it to be done in such a covert way.

"Long-term exposure will lead to weakness, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite in pregnant women. Moreover, the imperial doctor will not be able to find out simply by taking the pulse.

The final result is that the pregnant woman will give birth prematurely due to weakness, and most of them will suffer from dystocia due to lack of physical strength. "

"It's really vicious. The mother's body is weak. The fetus can't absorb the nutrients and is weak, so it's premature. The mother has gone through all kinds of deaths and gave birth to the child, but she has to worry about her heart all the time. After she gets it and loses it again, she is in pain." Baozhu took a deep breath of cold air. .

If it hadn't been for the painstaking efforts before, arranging for Joy to be a gynecological 'miracle doctor', after more than ten years of careful study, I am afraid it would be difficult to find out the tricks. It is really impossible to guard against. It is indeed true to be able to conceive in this palace and give birth to a healthy prince. A tough battle.

"In addition, master, this servant feels that Ma Meiren seems to have been tampered with, but I am not very sure." Although Huanxi saw that the master's expression was not very good, she continued.

"What's wrong with her? Tell me." Baozhu was stunned. She thought Ma Meiren had lost her child and was over-stimulated. Now that she thinks about it, her temperament has changed drastically. Baozhu is more inclined to believe in joy.

"The servant's master once told a case where a noble lady was suffering from physical pain for a long time. She had consulted various famous doctors but couldn't find any physical problems, but the woman's body was getting thinner and worse.

Until one day, her husband inadvertently discovered that the maid beside her would often stay by the woman's bedside while she was asleep, babbling hints: "I'm sick, my arms hurt, my legs hurt... '.

After waking up, the woman felt pain all over her body. She was immersed in the pain of her body and couldn't extricate herself, so that her body couldn't bear it. "

"You mean to say that the same is true for Ma Meiren, who was hinted at?"

"Yes, master, this servant is just guessing. I have observed Ma Meiren recently, her eyes are straight, her expression is dull, and her face is haggard, so I have this guess." Joy is a little uncertain, after all, this kind of thing is just heard, not real. seen.

Baozhu couldn't help but think a little more after listening to it. Isn't this a modern hypnotic suggestion?Could it be that in this era, there are already people who have researched this aspect and are still proficient at playing it, so what is the content of the hint to the horse beauty?

Thinking of Ma Meiren's frightening way of staring at Concubine Wei all the time, wanting to eat her alive, Baozhu felt chills all over, could it be to deal with Concubine Wei, so who can use such a covert and harmful move?

Baozhu shook her head, she is still safe now, and there is nothing worthy of fear and action from the higher-ups. It is still the same sentence. At her level, she can only watch the show quietly to avoid future disasters. The most important thing is to hug the emperor first. It's a big tree, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

"Xiaoxi, this matter is over. Today's words came out of your mouth and into my ears, and must not be known by a third person." Baozhu stared at Huanxi and said cautiously.

"Yes, master, this servant understands!"

"Well, go get someone to come in!" Huanxi opened the door, and Huanxi and Liu Quan followed in.

"Huanxi, Liu Quan has already told you the specific situation, what do you think? Liu Quan, you have been in the palace for a long time, have you ever encountered a situation where the emperor personally intervened in the affairs of the harem?"

"Returning to the master, as far as I know, there is no such thing. The harem has always been the queen's world, and the emperor will give the queen due respect. When the former emperor was in power, the harem was completely controlled by the current queen mother."

"Well, it seems that the emperor is already furious, and he is even dissatisfied with the empress. Today's affairs may not be good!"

Similarly, the empresses of Kunning Palace, Changle Palace, and Huaqing Palace all said the same thing, "Today's affairs may not be good!"

A few days after the heavy snow, the sun was shining brightly, and the white snow began to melt slowly. Concubine Ma's funeral was not grand, and everyone only showed up symbolically, and then lived a secluded life.

In the court hall, Concubine Zhu's direct elder brother was promoted to a higher rank, and he accepted the news that her younger sister, who was just in her youth, died of a serious illness.In the harem, Concubine Zhu's death was quickly forgotten in Java Kingdom.

Baozhu has always believed that in this palace there are only things the emperor doesn't want to know, and there is nothing the emperor can't find out.Presumably, as long as the emperor wants to know, there is no plant or tree in the harem that can escape his spies.

In Qianqing Palace, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking at the densely packed pages of investigation results in his hands, his teeth were gnashing, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently. Suddenly, he slapped the report on the imperial case, and the pages of thin paper instantly was shattered.

The emperor was furious, holding the faucet next to the dragon chair tightly with both hands, his heart was dripping with blood, he never expected that so many hidden secrets and accidents in the harem would be involved in this investigation, hehe, my harem is really full of talents, Everyone is a conspirator.

Li Mingzhong knelt down in fear. When he saw the results of this investigation, he also turned pale with fright. Each and every one of them was really appalling.

"Show Huaqing Palace!" The emperor slapped the dragon chair with a slap, stood up with a slap, and strode out of Qianqing Palace with a cold face.

"The emperor drives Huaqing Palace!"

In Huaqing Palace, Concubine Shu knelt in the hall, "Welcome Your Majesty!".

The emperor stepped into the hall, turned his head and gave a wink, Li Mingzhong had sharp eyesight and quick hands, led the people in the hall back, closed the door of the hall tightly and guarded the door.

Looking coldly at the submissive woman kneeling in front of her, she was wearing a light blue floor-length dress, her black hair was like lacquer, her demeanor was dignified and quiet, the emperor had a complex expression, and there was a trace of imperceptible disgust in his eyes, which was what he always thought was indifferent and majestic. , the considerate concubine Shu?
When I was actually deceived by a woman, thinking of this, the anger in my heart burned like a raging fire.

The emperor walked across to Concubine Shu with a dark face, pulled over the grand master's chair, and sat on the head. He stared at Concubine Shu with cold and ruthless black eyes, and said coldly: "Concubine Shu, are you guilty?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine doesn't understand!" Concubine Shu really didn't expect that the emperor came to inquire about the crime. She prostrated on the ground, slightly raised her head to look at the emperor, and there was a trace of tenderness in her indifferent eyes.

"Hmph, you don't understand?" The emperor pulled out another document from his sleeve, threw it on her head, and sneered, gritting his teeth: "Take a good look, virtuous concubine Shu!"

A flash of panic flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes. She put away the scattered documents in fear and trepidation, and glanced through them in a hurry. She suddenly turned pale with astonishment, tears streaming down her face, and said sadly, "Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's explanation."

"Explain? What else do you have to explain? Isn't Lilac one of yours? I never knew that Concubine Shu, who has always been indifferent, is so scheming. Even I was almost deceived by you!
Do you really think that people do not know it?Don't you know that all the eunuchs in charge of guarding the ice cellar have been recruited, what a scheming, I really misunderstood you, in order to frame Zhu Cairen, you have gone to great lengths and scheming!
Even if I leave the matter to the queen, and the queen's attitude of holding it up high and putting it down gently is taken into account? "The emperor looked coldly at Concubine Shu's affectionate performance, and sneered.

"Your majesty is kind, this concubine was just confused for a while, at that time, this concubine didn't know that Ma Meiren was pregnant, this concubine was really careless, this concubine is also a mother." Concubine Shu knew that she couldn't do it at this time Sophistry, knelt on the ground and wept, trying to win the emperor's mercy.

"Smart words, don't you forget to use the eldest prince to win sympathy at this time? I'm afraid your target is Concubine Wei, but Concubine Wei was blessed with a big life, but Ma Cairen accidentally lost her baby, right?
Afterwards, it was pushed back to Zhu Cairen, leading Ma Meiren to take revenge, killing three birds with one stone!You are really good. ", Zhao Zhen leaned forward, stretched out his hand and squeezed Concubine Shu's chin, ignoring the beauty's tears, and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The concubine didn't mean that. The concubine originally wanted to teach Zhu Cairen a lesson. He made Ke'er cowardly, weak and sickly.

The concubine really just wanted to seek justice for her son, she didn't know that things would get out of hand because of this, Your Majesty! ", Concubine Shu's cheeks were hurt by the emperor's pinch, and tears flowed down.

"I don't know, it's really my good concubine Shu." The emperor threw away his hand in disgust, and Concubine Shu fell backwards to the ground.

Zhao Zhen ignored him, and leaned on the grand teacher's chair, the sarcasm in his eyes was even worse, he said sarcastically, "I don't know? You secretly controlled Ding Xiang and persuaded Ma Meiren to surrender to Wei Guifei, didn't you know!?
Or did you bribe the eunuch to get ice cubes from the ice cellar, took advantage of the rain and threw the ice cubes under the bearer's feet, and framed Concubine Wei's sedan chair slipping, I don't know! ?
Or, the sedan chair fell to the side, crushing Ma Meiren who was held by Lilac, and when she was murdered to give birth, I didn't know! ? "

The emperor aggressively asked three sentences in one breath, Concubine Shu was powerless and paralyzed on the ground, her pupils shrank sharply, and the panic in her eyes was even worse, the emperor knew everything, so I...!
"I have already clearly punished Zhu Cairen. She was also a victim when the eldest prince fell into the water. Don't you know this!?" The emperor didn't give Concubine Shu time to breathe, and continued to persecute her!

Staring at the woman in front of him in disbelief, it was hard for him to imagine that Concubine Shu, who had always been considerate and gentle in his heart, was so paranoid, so maddened, and so good at scheming.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time!" Concubine Shu cried and crawled towards the Emperor, dragging his robe in mourning, "Your Majesty!"

The emperor shook his robe in disgust, and glanced at the crying woman lying on the ground. After all, she was the woman who had followed him for the longest time, and she was the mother of his only prince. He closed his eyes helplessly. !
"Come on, the Eldest Prince has turned four years old and has moved out of Huaqing Palace, and will immediately move into the Prince's residence.

Concubine Shu Liu's family was vicious and jealous, so she was demoted to Xiuyuan, and she was confined to Huaqing Palace, and she was not allowed to go out without an edict. "

"Your Majesty, Ke'er is still young, you can't do this, Your Majesty." When Concubine Shu heard that the eldest prince was being taken away, she suddenly collapsed, got up crazily and rushed towards the emperor.

The emperor didn't turn his head back, and swung his strong arm violently. Concubine Shu, the current Liu Xiuyuan took a few steps back and fell powerlessly to the ground. Shouting, "Your Majesty, don't...!".

The emperor turned a deaf ear, walked out of the hall with a dark face, did not look back, and said expressionlessly and coldly, "Close the door, Liu Zhaoyuan can do it for herself, if it is really for the sake of the eldest prince, she should do her part, for the sake of the eldest prince, I will give it to you." You deserve respect."

"Your Majesty, Ke'er." Liu Xiuyuan was lying at the entrance of the hall, her eyes were red with tears, she watched the emperor take the eldest prince away, and the frightened cries of the eldest prince stimulated her even more, her heart was like a knife. .

The bitter north wind whistled past his ears, the emperor walked out of Huaqing Palace quickly, the heart-piercing cries of the eldest prince made him upset, he paused, sighed and said, "Send the eldest prince to the prince's office. "

"Yes, slaves follow the order."

The emperor walked aimlessly in the deserted harem. He stood still and looked at the surrounding red walls and green tiles. His eyes were deep and his fists were clenched tightly. The empress, Concubine Wei, everyone must be contributing to the flames.

How many faces does this harem woman have?I don't care that you have scheming and means, but you can't be so vicious, and you can't tolerate someone taking advantage of my delegation!
"Let's drive to Kunning Palace to meet my 'virtuous empress'."

"Yes!"
