Poor family's favorite wife

Chapter 251 Hidden needles in cotton ([-])

It was just hugging Concubine De tightly, Concubine De was snuggling in the arms of the Holy Majesty.Concubine Li Gui naturally heard the news, now the Holy Majesty loves Concubine De more and more.Concubine Li Gui is unwilling, it seems that she really needs to think of a way to marry Concubine Li Gui to the Zhou family, so that she can gain some bargaining chips for the second prince in the future.Concubine Li Gui closed her eyes and was contemplating, how to persuade the Holy Majesty to agree without being suspected by the Holy Majesty?
At dawn, he heard the sound of the boy beating the gong, He Songzhu quickly woke up, and pushed Duan Zhirui beside him. "Sister, what's going on outside?" Duan Zhirui was also in a daze, "Lady, you wait on the bed, let me go and see what's going on?" Duan Zhirui opened the door to take a look, wearing a coat after all.He Songzhu waited for a long time, but did not see Duan Zhirui come back.

what happened?Duan Zhirui has been away for a long time, why hasn't he come back?He Songzhu hurriedly got up from the bed and opened the door, just in time to see Dongmei rushing over: "Madam, the old lady has passed away." He Songzhu was dumbfounded all of a sudden, what does this mean?It's impossible for Mrs. Li to have passed away. Last night Mrs. Li was in good spirits. He Songzhu couldn't believe why she passed away now.

With a slight smile: "Dongmei, this joke is not funny, you can't talk nonsense in the future." Dongmei knew that He Songzhu would accept it for a while, but Dongmei nodded firmly: "Shizi Concubine, this servant really didn't talk nonsense, really The eldest son is still in the old lady's yard and has not come back, let the servants invite the imperial concubine to come over." It seems that Mrs. Li has really passed away, but how could it be so sudden.

Since Dongmei came to invite her, she hurried over.If Li Shi still has his last breath, at least he can see Li Shi one last time.Needless to say now, He Songzhu hurriedly followed Dongmei to Li's yard, jogging along the way, but He Songzhu didn't know that he was in Li's yard at the moment.Xiao's face was serious, "Why, the princess is still here?"

"I don't know what Madam has to wait for Zhu'er to say?" Duan Zhirui stared straight at Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi was angry, and Duan Zhirui knew to help He Songzhu.For a while, Duan Zhirui will look good, "Okay, shut up." When Pingyanghou said something, Duan Zhirui hummed disdainfully, and didn't want to pay attention to Pingyanghou.In Duan Zhirui's serious situation, Pingyang Hou is the person who is the least qualified to talk about himself, and he has never cared about himself since he was a child.

Also, his mother may have been killed by Pingyanghou, so he was not favored by Pingyanghou.All the love of Marquis Pingyang was given to Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Lin was hooked up with Mrs. Xiao before he died.Duan Zhirui was naturally angry when he heard the mother next to Li tell him.It's also because of Lin's injustice. How could Lin marry someone like Pingyanghou? It's really a pity. Duan Zhirui can't say much since the deceased has passed away.

But in Duan Zhirui's heart, he never had a good look towards Pingyanghou.He Songzhu came in a hurry, Duan Zhirui went out to meet He Songzhu, and went into the house.Xiao said calmly: "Concubine Shizi, does mother's death have something to do with you?" He Songzhu was stunned by Xiao's words, and said lightly: "Mother, what do you mean by this? relation?
Mother, there are some things you can say, but how can mother talk nonsense with such inappropriate words. "Not to mention He Songzhu was stunned, Duan Zhirui was also stunned. Xiao Shi in front of him was talking nonsense, how could He Songzhu harm Li Shi. Li Shi is very good to Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu, especially Li Shi has always loved Ming Xian. Even if Duan Zhirui was killed, he would not believe it, "That's right, madam, please be careful. "

"Don't be in a hurry to say anything, ma'am, what's the matter?" Pingyanghou was also curious why Xiao Shi mentioned He Songzhu, and whether He Songzhu had any entanglement with Li Shi.Xiao didn't hide what happened yesterday evening, "Concubine Shizi, don't you admit it?" He Songzhu was able to sit upright, and he would not deny it. "Even if what my mother said is true, how can it prove that my grandmother's death has something to do with my concubine's status?"

"That's not easy. Your mother found out about your private meeting with a cousin. Your mother severely punished you, and you can't face it. It's still in front of me, especially when your mother favored you once and didn't tell the prince. What if the prince finds out How are you going to stay in Marquis of Pingyang?" Xiao pointed to He Songzhu as the murderer of Li Shi.Now that Mrs. Li has passed away, is it really okay to say these things in front of Mrs. Li's bed?

He Songzhu didn't want to talk to Xiao Shi too much, but Xiao Shi was too irritating.Then I can't blame He Songzhu, "Mother, since you doubt my concubine's identity, then my concubine will also doubt my mother. I also ask my mother to make amends." Xiao's face suddenly became gloomy, "Master Hou, son, you are also suspicious of my mother now. I heard what the concubine Shi Zi said. I just told the truth, and the concubine Shi Zi began to slander the concubine.

The concubine is really wronged, Lord Hou, son, you must make decisions for the concubine, the concubine is really wronged. "I don't know what He Songzhu is going to say, Xiao quickly lowered his voice to win Pingyanghou and Duan Zhirui to believe in himself, no matter what. Duan Zhirui will not believe Xiao, only He Songzhu. Duan Zhirui handed He Songzhu an I believe The look in your eyes made He Songzhu feel much more at ease.

It's just that Xiao Shi in front of him is too cunning, "Mother, how could I wrong you for no reason? What I said is also well-founded. Listen to mother if you want to." He Songzhu tested Xiao Shi, and Pingyang Hou coughed: "Since you have something to say, then speak it out. I just want to listen to it." "Yes, father." He Songzhu bowed to the Marquis of Pingyang, and He Songzhu kissed his red lips: "To my father, my concubine was indeed at my grandmother's house yesterday." in the room.

But all this does not mean that the concubine will harm the grandmother, the concubine can swear to God, the concubine did not harm the grandmother.The concubine has a lot of respect for her grandmother in her heart, especially her grandmother has been very kind to the son since she was a child, and she is also very kind to Mingxian.The concubine has no reason to kill the grandmother and kill the grandmother.As for my mother, I want to ask my mother if today is the third day when my mother will hand over her dowry.

It is not known whether the mother has prepared the dowry, if so.I don't know if mother can give us the dowry? "He Songzhu stared at Xiao Shi calmly, and Xiao Shi reminded himself in his heart that he must be calm. He must be calm and not be provoked by He Songzhu. Hurry up and calm down, calm down, calm down. Xiao Shi said with a straight face: "Now It's talking about the mother, what are you doing with the dowry? "

"Why can't the dowry be involved? Mother didn't mean that I harmed my grandma's motives, so I also said that my mother harmed my grandma's motives. I think my mother must have not put together the dowry on the dowry list, and now I want to divert everyone's attention. When the grandmother died, what did the mother think of what the concubine said?" "Of course not, I won't harm my mother.

Lord Hou, look at this concubine who really has no way to stay in Pingyang Hou Mansion now.Even the eldest concubine doubts the concubine's status and does not regard the concubine's status as a mother-in-law.Lord Hou, please also ask your lord to give this concubine a letter of divorce.Let this concubine leave Pingyang Hou Mansion, Lord Hou, I beg you. "Mother, you can't leave now, you haven't given us the dowry yet."How can I go? "

Now He Songzhu insisted on forcing Xiao Shi to take out the dowry, most of Xiao Shi took it, now where to get it back.It's all gone, even if Xiao Shi is in a hurry, there is nothing he can do.Where to go to redeem them, there are still many who were encouraged by the Ping family and given to the Ping family.That day Ping's dismissal had nothing to do with her, in fact, if Ping hadn't encouraged Xiao, how could Xiao have such an idea.

Now Mrs. Xiao hates Mrs. Ping, "Okay, get up quickly, don't be ashamed. Then tell me, are you ready for the dowry?" Marquis Pingyang believed He Songzhu's words and doubted Mrs. Xiao.Xiao said in disbelief: "Master Hou, you are actually suspicious of this concubine now. I am really wronged. Lord Hou, since you don't believe in this concubine, there is no point in living a concubine. I might as well be dead." Forget it, go stay with your mother.

Let those people's schemes succeed! "Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao stared at He Songzhu inadvertently and viciously, and slammed into the door directly. Pingyang Hou didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to knock on the door so impulsively. He didn't react for a while, and it happened that Mrs. Xiao hit the door This scene was seen by Duan Zhiru, who came late. Duan Zhiru was dressed in white, and when she saw that Xiao was about to seek death, she shouted heart-piercingly: "Mother, mother. "

Hastily ran to Xiao Shi's side, don't!Do not do this!Marquis Pingyang, Duan Zhirui, and He Songzhu never expected to be seen by Duan Zhiru and Su Shi.He Songzhu was startled, it's not good, I'm afraid Xiao Shi will be seen by Duan Zhiru even if he has made a plan.In the future, Duan Zhiru will definitely bear a grudge against Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu, no matter what.Now it is because of He Songzhu's exposure of Xiao Shi's true face that Xiao Shi has acted like this.

Xiao Shi has already passed out, Duan Zhiru supported Xiao Shi, and kept shouting: "Mother, mother, don't leave Ru'er. Grandma has left us now, mother, you can't leave our side anymore. Mother, mother "Crying loudly, "Father, hurry up and find a doctor to show mother." Pingyang Hou turned around at this moment, and hurriedly sent the servants beside him to the palace to invite the imperial doctor.

Duan Zhirui supported He Songzhu calmly, and gave He Songzhu a peaceful look.Duan Zhirui is behind everything to support He Songzhu, and He Songzhu seems to have a big stone stuck in his heart.How can it become like this now, it's too much!Xiao's heart was really too cruel, and he resorted to bitter tricks.It seems that the cause of Li's death is really related to Xiao's, and Xiao's heart was moved by He Songzhu's words.

He used a bitter trick, thinking that he could escape by doing so.He Songzhu will not let Mrs. Xiao go, Duan Zhiru and Mrs. Su went to take care of Mrs. Xiao, while Marquis Pingyang and Duan Zhirui went out to attend to Mrs. Li's affairs.As for what He Songzhu and Xiao Shi said, everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts.The Holy Majesty in the palace had just come out of Concubine De's bedroom when the eunuch who was close to him outside the door knelt in front of the Holy Majesty.

He was in a hurry and his face was pale.The Holy Majesty couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, this is, I was joking with you early in the morning." How dare the eunuch hide it from the Holy Majesty: "Report to the Holy Majesty, the old lady of Pingyang Hou's Mansion has passed away." The Holy Majesty did not turn around immediately Turning around, "Say it again, who has passed away." The eunuch was grabbed by the collar by the Holy Majesty, and hurriedly said: "My Majesty, the old lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion has passed away."

The Holy Majesty did not expect that Mrs. Li passed away. Why was it so sudden, the Holy Majesty did not react at all.Li Shi was not poisoned before, but had been detoxified.Isn't it good these days?Why did she pass away now, Concubine De heard that there seemed to be movement at the door of the bedroom, so she hurried over. "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" The eunuch said in a low voice, "I would like to report to Concubine De that the old lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion has passed away."

That wasn't Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu's grandmother, Mingxian's great-grandmother passed away, and Concubine De didn't realize it yet. "Concubine De, you go out of the palace with me, and I'm going to see the old lady off for the last time." Now that the Holy Majesty has spoken, Concubine De will naturally not refuse the Majesty, Concubine De smiled lightly: "Yes! The concubine is following Majesty, go together." Regardless of having a baby in her stomach, she directly agreed to Majesty.

Both Shengshang and Concubine De are impulsive, but that doesn't mean that the eunuchs around Shengshang are also impulsive. "Your Majesty, you can't take De Concubine with you. Your Majesty is pregnant now. If you go, you will bump into the child in your belly." That's right, Your Majesty quickly came to his senses, and took De Concubine's hand: " Concubine De, I was too anxious just now. Well, you can take care of the baby in the palace, and I can go by myself."

But Concubine De didn't let go of the Holy Majesty's hand, and said softly: "My Majesty, I want to see the old lady off for the last time, so you can take my concubine with you, okay?" As she spoke, she knelt in front of the Holy Majesty. , what Defei said is true.This time, I will definitely be able to meet my aunt Wu, the Holy One was persuaded by Concubine De.I hesitated in my heart, what if I really bumped into the child, what should I do?
Could it be that Concubine De doesn't care about the child in her belly anymore, "Your Majesty, you can take this concubine with you. I promise that I will follow you. I will not leave your side. If you feel unwell, my concubine will I will follow you." Concubine De succeeded in pestering the Holy Majesty in the end, and the Majesty agreed to take Concubine De to Pingyang Marquis Mansion.To see Li Shi off for the last time, after the Holy Majesty and Concubine De leave the palace.

The eunuch in the Queen Mother's bedroom told the Queen Mother that Li Shi had passed away.The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. At the beginning, the Holy Majesty often went to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and the Li family was very kind to the Holy Majesty.During the holidays, the Holy Majesty would give gifts to Mrs. Li.Not to mention that the queen mother is jealous of Li Shi, but to be honest, my son is better to outsiders than to himself.The Empress Dowager felt uncomfortable. Now that Mrs. Li has passed away, no one will have a more important position in the heart of the Holy One than herself.

The Queen Mother asked: "Does the Holy Majesty know?" The eunuch hesitated, "Why, Aijia asked you something, and you just answer Aijia honestly." He came down and said: "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, the Holy Majesty has just left the palace with the Empress Dowager De." After leaving the palace, without the eunuch telling, the Empress Dowager also knew that she must have gone to the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

The Holy Majesty took Concubine De with him, Concubine De was not pregnant just now.Now I went with the Holy Majesty, the Empress Dowager remembered Concubine De in her heart, and when she came back, she would definitely teach Concubine De well.And the queen, don't you care about Concubine Guan De?Just let the Holy Majesty decide which concubine he wants to pamper, that concubine.There is no etiquette in the harem at all, and the Holy Majesty wants to take people there.

That should also be the queen, what is it with a concubine De?The queen mother's good mood in the morning was ruined, "Okay, you all go down!" The eunuchs and maids left one after another, not daring to stay any longer.The fact that the Holy Majesty brought De Concubine Empress out of the palace to Pingyang Hou's Mansion was like the wind, and the whole palace knew about it.The empress didn't know where Concubine De was in the eyes of the Holy Majesty, Concubine Li Gui became even more anxious.

As for Concubine Rong, she felt a little sad.Isn't that what the empress dowager taught me?In order to protect the child in her womb, she has now lost the favor of the Holy Majesty.Seeing Concubine De's honor and favor, Concubine Rong felt a little jealous.So it should be me, especially Concubine De is also pregnant.Concubine De never thought that one day she would give birth to a prince for the Holy Majesty before, but now it's all over, Concubine De is pregnant.

Then in the future, there will be one more competitor, Concubine Rong is so angry.If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to the queen mother's words and saved the child in my stomach.Concubine Rong closed her eyes, thinking of a good idea.Wanting to regain the favor of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty and Concubine De came to the gate of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.White lanterns have been hung up in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and many people who mourn the old lady have already come.

The servant beside Duan Zhirui whispered that the Holy Majesty and Concubine De are on their way.Duan Zhirui nodded unhurriedly and came to He Songzhu's side. "My lady, the Holy Majesty and the Concubine De will come later." He Songzhu was a little surprised: "The Concubine De has just become pregnant, how could she come?" Greeting guests over there."

He Songzhu watched Duan Zhirui's leaving back, and couldn't help sighing.The imperial doctor who treated Xiao Shi has already arrived, and he is still in Xiao Shi's yard.Duan Zhiru and Su Shi are still accompanying Xiao Shi, Pingyang Hou and Duan Zhiping are greeting the guests.Duan Zhirui also had to share some of the burden, and Mrs. Wu came early.I can't believe what the boy said, Mrs. Li passed away.He hurried over directly with Lei Shi in the hall. ,

When he came to Pingyanghou's mansion, Wu Shi really believed that Li Shi had passed away.But what happened, Mrs. Li was in good health, why did she die? Of course, it was announced to the outside world that she was suddenly ill and passed away without being treated at night.Marquis Pingyang and Duan Zhirui had already sent someone to check on Mrs. Li, but there was nothing.Even the old doctor Wang didn't find out the cause of Li's death. Anyway, when Li passed away, he was very peaceful.

Now that Mrs. Li is dead, so what if the murderer is found.Because Mrs. Li has passed away, we can only deal with Mrs. Li's affairs first. As for other matters, we can wait until Mrs. Li's affairs are dealt with.The Holy One and Concubine De came, and everyone went to the door to greet them. "Long live my emperor, long live my concubine, and a thousand years for my concubine." The Holy Majesty helped Concubine De to walk into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion together: "Pingshen."
