Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 382

There were fights between brothers, and the fights were serious, Chen Wenxin should take care of them.

Originally, she was supposed to go to Elder Brother's place to see Third Elder Brother in person, but she was too heavy to move around, so she had to call all the parties to Yikun Palace.

Except for the third elder brother who was lying unconscious on the bed, the remaining Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, eldest elder brother and fourth elder brother, as well as some of the elder brother's palace servants, all went to Yikun Palace.

Everyone sat down in order on both sides, and the palace people stood outside the hall, with a dignified atmosphere.

Chen Wenxin first said to Concubine Rong: "How is the third elder brother? Can the imperial doctor tell you when you will wake up?"

Concubine Rong still had tears on her face, "If you wake up, you can wake up, but if your right eye does not recover well, it may leave a shadow in the future."

"Is this worth it?"

If one of the dignified princes of the Qing Dynasty has a disability in one eye, let alone miss the throne, it will be difficult for him to hold a position in the court in the future.

Brother San is still young, how could he suffer such a crime...

She looked at Eldest Brother, with a little majesty in her eyes unconsciously, "Big Brother, what's going on? Why did you hit Third Elder Brother?"

The elder brother frowned, facing Chen Wenxin, he always felt extremely guilty.

It's like a student who was favored by the teacher. Once he took the exam, not only did he not get a title on the gold list, but he was also arrested for fighting.

What an embarrassment.

He left his seat and knelt in the hall, bowed his head and knocked to the ground.

"Returning to the queen's mother, my son and the third elder brother just had a momentary quarrel, and they started fighting. Is it my son or not, my son is willing to accept the punishment."

Chen Wenxin looked at the big elder brother's appearance, and it was hard to imagine that he would do such a thing.

In the old days when she was teaching her elder brothers in arithmetic, the elder brother and the third elder brother were as close as siblings of the same mother.

She sighed softly, "Then why did you attack the fourth elder brother? Is it also a momentary quarrel?"

What kind of quarrel is it that makes the elder brother not hesitate to attack the two younger brothers.

He still wants to hide this matter?

The elder brother pursed his lips and did not speak.

He could say those outrageous words in front of the third elder brother and fourth elder brother, but in front of Chen Wenxin, he couldn't say it no matter what.

Not only because she occupies the position of imperial concubine, but also because——

He knew that she was pure-hearted and was sad for the emperor's critical illness, so how could he hurt her heart by saying those words about succession or not?

Knowing that the elder brother didn't want to talk about it, Chen Wenxin turned to the fourth elder brother.

"Since the eldest brother doesn't say anything, fourth elder brother, tell me, what kind of quarrel is there between you brothers?"

The fourth elder brother stood up and cupped his hands towards Chen Wenxin.

"It may not sound good to me, I'd better let the eldest brother speak for himself."

The two brothers refused to say, could it be that she was asked to ask the third elder brother who was unconscious?
Concubine Rong suddenly said: "Imperial Concubine, no matter what the quarrel is because of the big elder brother beating the third elder brother like this, I beg the imperial concubine to make the decision for the third elder brother!"

For Concubine Rong to say this, she completely broke the skin with Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui became embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Sister Rong Concubine, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter. The imperial concubine is pregnant and has trouble moving, why bother her?"

Seeing Concubine Hui's gentle look, not only Concubine Rong didn't buy it, but Chen Wenxin couldn't stand it anymore.

The third elder brother was beaten so badly, did she still want to protect the elder brother and let it go?

And it was in front of my own face.

She said to Concubine Hui in a cold voice: "Although my body is inconvenient, my mind is not confused. We can solve this matter as we want. After we solve it, we will meet the ministers in the court."

Concubine Hui was looking forward to the announcement of the secret edict and couldn't sleep all night. Now that she was stumped by this matter, she felt very upset.

In her opinion, the third elder brother was not injured that badly, it was purely Concubine Rong making a fuss over a molehill.

Eldest brother's attitude today is indeed extremely bad. If he ascends the throne smoothly, these small stains will be nothing.

So he said: "What happened today is all Big Brother's fault, Big Brother, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Rong Erniang? When your third brother wakes up, we will make an apology with your third brother."

Seeing Concubine Hui's understatement, Concubine Rong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Sure enough, in Concubine Hui's eyesight, the elder brother is the treasure.

Even though she has been attached to Concubine Hui for more than ten years, her son is nothing more than life in Concubine Hui's eyes.

She sneered absentmindedly, laughing almost insanely.

"Concubine Hui, if I break one eye of elder brother now, and then apologize to you, is it okay?"

Concubine Hui quickly got up and stood in front of the elder brother, she was very surprised to see Concubine Rong's appearance.

"Concubine Rong, are you crazy! How dare you treat Big Brother?!"

Concubine Rong suddenly stood up, "Your elder brother can't be beaten or touched, so my third elder brother deserves to lie on the bed and won't wake up now?"

In the harem, she has no pets, no love, not even a bosom friend.

She doesn't fight for power, doesn't want to grab the throne, she just wants to watch her third elder brother live in peace.

The third elder brother is her life.

Someone is going to threaten her life, how can she not go crazy?

"Go back, what are you trying to do?"

Chen Wenxin frowned, and the two who were confronting each other instantly retreated to their seats.

Concubine Hui's face was embarrassing, Concubine Rong's eyes were full of hatred.

"Since all of you are unwilling to say what happened, then I won't ask any more. Eldest brother, third elder brother is still in a coma. I ordered you to confine yourself to the library and face the wall to think about your mistakes. Are you convinced?"

Forbidden Book Collection Pavilion?
The elder brother raised his head in puzzlement, and looked at Chen Wenxin's expression, he didn't look very angry.

Why is he grounded in Zangshu Pavilion instead of Elder Brother's?
He couldn't figure it out, so he kowtowed his head to the ground, "I would like to obey the emperor's mother's words."

This punishment is neither light nor heavy, Concubine Hui has no objection, and Concubine Rong doesn't speak anymore.

At this critical moment, she didn't expect Chen Wenxin to punish her elder brother too much.

Letting her mother's family, the Ma Jia clan, break away from the support of eldest brother, that is the greatest punishment!

Concubine Rong suddenly took a gloomy look outside the hall, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.

Today is a rare sunny day.

"Imperial Concubine, it's already this hour, you haven't gone to court yet, the ministers must be waiting in a hurry?"

Chen Wenxin seemed to have guessed her thoughts.

"No, I have already ordered someone to send a message. They know what important matter I am dealing with."

Concubine Rong smiled faintly.

That's good.

If her Ama knew that the third elder brother was beaten like this by the elder brother, she would definitely not support the elder brother again.

"Okay, let's take elder brother down, you follow me to the front court."

The palace servants stepped forward to take the elder brother to the Library Pavilion, and a young eunuch had already rushed out to spread the word.

Seeing that there was movement in Yikun Palace, the formation was in order, and the waiting concubines from all the palaces also came up to meet them.

The fourth elder brother took the fifth elder brother, and Cheng promised that he and the seventh elder brother would not be sick, but Chen Wenxin didn't care.

In this harem, their mother and son were an accident.

It is also a good thing to know that you have no status and are hidden from everyone's sight.

Both the elder brother and the third elder brother can't see people, and the number of elder brothers is much smaller all of a sudden.

When the ministers of the previous dynasty were in a hurry, they saw a mighty group of people headed by Chen Wenxin coming.

Everyone greeted them out of the hall.

"Imperial Concubine, you are here!"

"Imperial Concubine, why don't you see Eldest Brother?"

"Imperial Concubine, how is the third elder brother?"

Chen Wenxin turned a deaf ear to the question in his ear, and only paused when he heard the mention of the third elder brother.

"The third elder brother was seriously injured, and he is still recuperating in bed. The eldest elder brother shot and wounded someone, and I have ordered him to be grounded."

The eldest brother injured the third elder brother and only grounded him. This punishment was neither excessive nor understated.

All the ministers have nothing to say.

Concubine Rong searched for Gaishan among the crowd.

The father and daughter met each other's eyes and understood each other's thoughts at once.

Concubine Hui was also looking for Nalan Mingzhu in the crowd, only to see that his face was gloomy and he lowered his head slightly.

The feeling of not being able to make eye contact made Concubine Hui even more flustered.

Only Chen Xihai gave Chen Wenxin a positive look.

Chen Wenxin nodded to him almost inaudibly.

"Since all your lords are here, and I have made my rounds, let's get to the point."

All the ministers were shocked, staring at the secret edict.

"Imperial Concubine, where is the secret edict? How far is it from here? Can you tell me now?"

These words speak out the hearts of the ministers.

Chen Wenxin put one hand on his stomach, walked up slowly, and sat down slowly on the golden seat.

She winked at the small table, and immediately, a familiar figure walked out of the apse.

That person was actually Li Dequan!
After the emperor was no longer in the palace, Li Dequan seldom appeared in front of everyone. Some people even thought that the emperor had taken him to the front line.

Only then did he discover that he had been in the palace all along.

Chen Wenxin said slowly: "Eunuch Li is an old man by the emperor's side. He has served the emperor for more than 20 years. I have invited him to come and ask for a secret edict, so that you adults will not be suspicious."

Like this kind of old slave who serves the master by his side, if he goes out, he can represent half of the majesty of the master.

No matter where Li Dequan went, for the sake of the emperor, no one dared to underestimate him.

With him present, the credibility of the secret edict will be even higher.

With a smile on his face, Li De leaned over to his superior and said, "The imperial concubine and empress have flattered this servant."

After finishing speaking, he turned to face the ministers, and said in a clear voice: "Before the emperor personally conscripted, he only told the imperial concubine the whereabouts of the secret edict. But that secret edict was placed there by the servant himself."

"These servants have been guarding the secret edict day and night, and dare to use their heads to guarantee that the secret edict is intact."

Suo'etu hurriedly said, "Where is the secret edict?"

Li Dequan waved his hand to the bottom, all the officials looked out, only to see a few young eunuchs walking in from outside the hall.

They babbled, and four or five of them lifted a very tall ladder into the hall.

"The secret edict written by the emperor is on the heads of all of you, behind this upright and bright plaque."
