Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 381

The ministers of the former dynasty rushed to Qianqing Palace early, and they saw that the imperial concubine hadn't come yet.

Yes, we came too early today.

The ministers thought in this way, and waited patiently until the usual court meeting time.

Why is the imperial concubine still not here?
Not only did the imperial concubine not come, neither did the elder brothers, nor did all the concubines.

Strange, did the imperial concubine let them go?

It really makes no sense!

All the ministers were discussing, and a young eunuch outside the hall came running from a distance, hurrying.

"My lords, the imperial concubine ordered you to wait a moment. There is an emergency in the palace, and the imperial concubine cannot get away."

Suo'etu stood up first and snorted coldly.

"What emergencies? We agreed to release the secret edict today. What emergencies are more important than the secret edict?"

The little eunuch showed embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Go back to your lord, it's the elder brother's place... the elder brother knocked the third elder brother unconscious!"

what? !

When the secret edict was about to be announced, something like this happened.

Didn't the eldest brother and the third elder brother have always been on good terms, why did they beat people up?

"How is the third brother now?"

It was Concubine Rong's Amagaishan who was asking questions. The third elder brother was his grandson, and he was more nervous than anyone else.

The little eunuch said anxiously: "It's very bad, the third elder brother's face is covered with blood, when the slave came to report the news, the elder brother still didn't wake up..."

Gai Shan frowned, and gave Nalan Mingzhu a bitter look.

Mingzhu, an old fox, speaks better than sings.

Tell him that the eldest brother and the third elder brother are on good terms, and that in the future when the eldest elder brother ascends to the throne of God, he will definitely not treat the third elder brother badly.

Coaxed and lied to, let his Ma Jia clan support Big Brother.

Who would have thought that the eldest elder brother would dare to beat the third elder brother openly in the palace before the secret edict was announced, and he beat it so severely!

Nalan Mingzhu's complexion turned ugly, and she recovered quickly, laughing and laughing.

"Brothers are young and energetic, and it is common for brothers to have disputes for a while. Whose brothers didn't fight when they were young?"

Gaishan snorted coldly, "Nalan Mingzhu, didn't you hear him say that the third elder brother is still awake with blood all over his face?! Whose brother fights like this? Brothers were very respectful when they were young, but now Playing a childish temper?"

The children of Aixinjueluo's family matured early.

The emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight, and the elder brothers are much larger than the emperor who just ascended the throne back then.

Especially the elder brother, who already looks like an adult, what kind of ability is it to bully a weak younger brother with force?
The more Gaishan thought about it, the more angry he felt that Nalan Mingzhu had deceived him by calling her by his first name.

The ministers of the Manchus don't pay much attention to each other, and the difference in status doesn't matter if you call them by name, and you don't need to be polite like a certain elder or brother.

With the gradual Sinicization of the atmosphere in the court, these Manchu ministers are also used to addressing them politely, and they usually have to be called a certain adult.

Therefore, Gaishan suddenly called Nalan Pearl even by first and last name, which surprised him.

His position is indeed not as high as that of Nalan Mingzhu, but the power of the century-old Ma Jia clan should not be underestimated.

Nalan Mingzhu regretted in her heart, she only felt that she had already lost half of the chess game by betting on Big Brother.

He thought that he was the eldest son of the emperor, a name that was very likely to appear in the secret edict. At that time, the ministers headed by him would firmly support and protect him, and he would definitely be able to ascend to the throne smoothly.

Now when he heard the news, his heart was half cold.

Big brother is so disregarding the overall situation, frivolous and violent, which minister will obey him?
It is even more impossible for the emperor to write his name in the secret edict.

Why didn't he find out that big brother is actually this kind of person?
It's too late to regret now!

"Hey, did the third elder brother not fight back? Where is the fourth elder brother?"

Suo'etu looked as if he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, wishing that all his brothers would kill each other.

Anyway, Erbeile is not in Elder Brother's office, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

The little eunuch didn't hear the truth, and replied frankly: "The elder brother originally wanted to hit the fourth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother avoided it, and then hit the third elder brother, and the third elder brother couldn't hide..."

All the ministers were in an uproar, but they didn't expect the fourth elder brother to appear.

If the elder brother hit the third elder brother as a momentary quarrel, then what happened when he hit two younger brothers in a row?

It is said that among the elder brothers, the most diligent, studious and sensible is the elder brother.

Looking at it now, it is really unbelievable.

When Gaishan thought of the third elder brother's small body, his face was covered in blood from the elder brother's beating, he didn't even get angry.

"My lords, listen, listen! This is the elder brother, the eldest son of the emperor! Before the emperor died, he started bullying the younger brother. Such a person is also worthy of being a candidate for the crown prince?"

As soon as Gaishan said this, Nalan Mingzhu's face turned pale.

It seems that he will never support Big Brother again.

Gaishan's words were too direct, which immediately aroused the discussion of all the officials.

Eldest brother, the eldest son of the emperor, is a popular candidate for the crown prince.

If you do such a thing on the day when the secret edict is announced, isn't it suicide?
Chen Xihai watched coldly from the beginning to the end, watching the changes in the expressions of these ministers, showing all kinds of calculations in their hearts.

Dirty and transparent.

Some people saw that he had not moved, and turned to look at him frequently.

After a while, almost all eyes were on him.

If you can't find the imperial concubine, you can only find him, Chen Xihai.

He has always presided over the government, but today such a big thing happened, he didn't say a word.

It is very abnormal.

Chen Xihai saw everyone's gaze and responded calmly.

"Since the imperial concubine said to wait, then just wait."

It should come, it will always come.

In the elder brother's office.

The third elder brother lay quietly on the bed, unconscious, with blood stains on his face.

The imperial physician felt his pulse by the bed, while Concubine Rong sat restlessly at the round table beside her, feeling restless.

Concubine Hui was sitting opposite Concubine Rong, and beside her was the elder brother, the young man looked angry.

From time to time, she taught the eldest brother a few words, but the eldest brother did not retaliate. Judging from his expression, he was not convinced at all.

The imperial physician frowned, turned around and spoke respectfully to Concubine Hui.

"Your Majesty, I need to be quiet..."

Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Hui with an unkind expression, Concubine Hui immediately shut up and did not teach eldest brother a lesson.

The imperial physician began to diagnose the pulse again.

"The injury on the third elder brother's face has damaged the eye. The right eye has to be covered with medicinal herbs, and I can't see for at least a month."

The imperial physician put down the third elder brother's hand and said so.

"what?!"

Concubine Rong suddenly stood up, "When will the third brother's eyes be healed?"

The imperial physician showed hesitation, and seemed to have something difficult to speak out.

"Say!"

Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows, her face was solemn but fierce.

In the past ten years in the palace, Concubine Hui has never seen Concubine Rong so angry like now.

The imperial doctor said reassuringly: "It depends on the effect of the follow-up application of medicine. If it is good, it may be able to return to the previous state. If it is not good, there may be some shadows left on the third elder brother's right eye."

When Concubine Rong heard this, her heart turned cold.

She stood there for a moment, until Concubine Hui reached out and tried to hold her hand to comfort her.

She almost subconsciously shook off Concubine Hui's hand.

"Sister Hui, I've called you your elder sister for more than ten years, and I've never done anything wrong to you. Eldest brother, third elder brother has followed you since childhood and obeyed you, except for this time alienation."

She burst into tears, "Our mother and son are willing to become vassals, and we will do our best to protect the big brother. Big brother, how can you let go of this hand and beat the third brother like this?"

After hearing this, the imperial physician scolded her in his heart.

Concubine Rong, is this woman crazy?

Saying this in front of an imperial doctor like him?

He trembled, hurriedly bowed and retreated, stammering: "Your officer... sue, leave."

Only Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were left, the mother and son in the house.

The eldest elder brother was a little embarrassed, he really didn't intend to hurt the third elder brother.

It's just that the words rushed to that place, and there was an unknown fire in my heart, and I had to vent it.

Seeing that the third elder brother was injured so badly now, he also felt a little regretful and annoyed.

Why can't I hold back this fire all of a sudden, it will be fine if I hold it for a few more days!

Now that's all right, as soon as this matter comes out, how will the ministers of the DPRK and China criticize him?
The elder brother didn't speak, so Concubine Hui had no choice but to describe it for him.

"Sister Rong Concubine, you don't have to worry so much. Didn't the imperial physician say that? If it works, you can restore the previous..."

"What if it's bad?!"

Concubine Rong is no longer as weak and deceitful as before when it comes to the health of the third elder brother.

"If it's not good, what explanation are you mother and son going to give me?"

Such an aggressive Concubine Rong made Concubine Hui unable to resist for a while.

Seeing Concubine Hui's embarrassment, the elder brother suddenly said coldly: "Concubine Rong, you are so aggressive now, do you not want to leave a way out for yourself?"

Concubine Rong was taken aback by what she said, and even Concubine Hui was startled.

When did her gentle and sensible elder brother become like this?

So full of hostility...

After Concubine Rong was startled, she sneered and said, "Brother, are you threatening me? Do you really think that you have a chance to win, that my mother and child will be slaughtered?"

"Sister Concubine Rong, don't get me wrong, elder brother..."

Concubine Rong didn't care about Concubine Hui's words, she turned around and sat down beside the third brother's bed, with the word "see off" written on her face gloomy.

The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and there was no room to talk about anything else.

Concubine Hui was annoyed and ashamed, the one who was annoyed was that the elder brother's rude words cut off the way back, and the one that was ashamed was that Concubine Rong didn't show any affection at all.

In desperation, she could only leave with her elder brother.

After walking outside the house, I saw a familiar figure approaching, it was actually a small table.

"The imperial concubine ordered the slaves to come and see how the third elder brother is doing."

Concubine Hui's face froze, and she said awkwardly: "The third elder brother is inside, father-in-law can do what he wants."

The little table walked two steps inward, then quickly turned his head and said, "Concubine Hui, elder brother, please stop. The empress and concubine also invite you two to talk at Yikun Palace together."
