The unlucky county princess and the crown prince

Everyone in the palace knows how much the emperor values the child in the belly of the Ming noble. No one thought that the child would be gone before three months. After all, the harem is a place where the relationship is intertwined. Although some people feel sorry for the Ming noble, they are more happy. As she said, there are too many people who don't want her to give birth to the child.

Xia Er suddenly knelt down, because she was too angry, her voice was very sharp and harsh, "empress, since she was pregnant, she has been very careful. How can she fall into the water for no reason? It must have been framed. I beg the empress to investigate thoroughly and do justice for the unborn emperor. "

Queen Xue's face sank down, and said solemnly: "the Ming noble is the emperor's heir, and falls into the water in Changchun palace. Naturally, this palace will thoroughly investigate, and everyone who has contacted with her will thoroughly investigate."

Hearing that the Ming noble was enjoying the flowers and falling into the water in the Queen's palace, huifei, Ning Fei and others rushed to Changchun palace. Huifei couldn't wait to ask: "Niang Niang, what's the matter with Minggui's children?"

Queen Xue shook her head and said regretfully, "I can't keep it."

Huifei was shocked, "God, the emperor is so lucky, I didn't expect that the child is still so lucky."

Anning princess has always been gloating, yin and Yang strange way: "it's not that children are not lucky, it's that some people are not lucky!"

"Ning Fei!" Queen Xue was not happy and said, "you have been waiting on the emperor for quite a long time. You know what occasion this is. What will happen if this word is spread to the emperor?"

In the face of the empress's respect, Princess Anning had to be more restrained and said, "I know my mistake."

Huifei's face was surprised, and she doubted: "well, how could she fall into the water?"

Just at this time, I heard a exclamation, "Minggui people wake up."

Empress Xue and others can't think much about it. They step into the room quickly. Mingfei is lying on the bed, pale, weak and helpless, but her eyes are very bright and excited, "child, where's my child?"

As soon as she woke up, she dragged her weak body to ask about the child. Several people were silent. Finally, Queen Xue said softly, "you are still so young, and there will be opportunities in the future."

Mingfei's delicate fingers tightly grasp the quilt, a pair of big eyes can't believe staring at Queen Xue, surprised: "Niang Niang, what do you say?"

Xia'er saw that the young lady was so excited. She was so sad that she cried: "young lady, it's all my maidservant's fault that I didn't serve you well."

Huifei also comforted in a soft voice, "don't be excited. Take good care of your body first. The emperor dotes on you so much. There will be good news soon. It's important for your health."

Although there is psychological preparation, but confirm that the child did not, Mingfei soul seems to be instantly pulled away, pain to numbness, the whole person, like the end of a crossbow, suddenly paralyzed, eyes closed, fainted again.

There was another rush in the bedroom. The smell of blood and herbs was everywhere. Although the emperor was still recovering, Queen Xue did not dare to tell the emperor what had happened.

Sure enough, the emperor was furious when he heard that the baby was crying for a long time in the palace. The arrival of the baby surprised him. Unexpectedly, it was only a few months before he died. As the emperor was still ill in bed, he had an oral instruction that he must thoroughly investigate the matter.

It was Mr. Huang who came to pass the edict. When he arrived at Changchun palace, he still had a lingering fear. It was obvious that the emperor was furious. "Empress, your majesty is very angry. It is necessary to find out the reason why the noble man fell into the water. If there is anything strange, no matter who is involved, we will never tolerate it."

Queen Xue's face was tense. "I know."

The Emperor didn't come here in person, but he startled the Empress Dowager. Originally, the harem had been quiet for so many years, but now there was a sudden accident. The Empress Dowager couldn't sit down and went to Changchun palace with the help of aunt Zheng.

The Empress Dowager has been neglecting the affairs of the harem for many years. She pays close attention to the Buddha and appears to be kind-hearted. However, after seeing Mingfei lying in bed, her face immediately pulls down and asks, "queen, what's the matter?"

Queen Xue said, "please wait a moment, my concubine is investigating."

The Empress Dowager sneered, "well, if it's an accident, it's all right. If someone tries to kill the grandson of the AI family, the AI family will never be spared."

"My concubine obeys the order."

At this time, aunt Yao came back, "I went to check the place where the Ming noble fell into the water. It rained yesterday, and the place was still a little slippery."

It's in Changchun palace. Queen Xue can't get away from it. Huifei sneers, "do you mean that Minggui people slip in by themselves?"

Aunt Yao was neither humble nor arrogant and said, "I don't mean it. I just report it to you as it is."

Empress Dowager sitting in town, the atmosphere is more condensed, Queen Xue's fierce eyes swept over Xia Er, "after entering the peony garden, who are your masters with?"

Xia er's eyes were red. "Miss and princess, and miss Xue went along the Golden Garden to enjoy the flowers. After seeing Wei Zi and Luo Yanghong, when they arrived at Wisteria Pavilion, Miss said that she was a little cold. She asked the maid to go back and get a cape. When she saw that she was in Changchun palace, and Princess and miss Xue were there, she rushed back to get the Cape. But when she came back, Miss fell into the water."

In the peony garden of Queen Xue, there are many rare peonies in the world. Wei Zi is a very valuable variety. It comes from Wei Renbo's family in Luoyang in the Five Dynasties. Its flowers are purple red, and it is called "Queen of flowers". Luoyang red is also purple red. A plant can have hundreds of flowers, and it is called "Queen of new flowers".

Crown princess? Miss Xue? Both of them had a close relationship with queen Xue, and things were moving more and more in the direction they had imagined. Huifei was very happy. She scanned her eyes and said in a surprised voice, "why don't you see the princess and miss Xue?"

Queen Xue took a deep look at Princess Hui. "The Crown Princess often comes to Changchun palace. She is very familiar with the peony garden. After a while, she feels bored and goes back to the Palace first. Miss Xue is an unmarried daughter. She is frightened and not suitable to be present at this time. Our palace asks her to rest in the side hall."

It's reasonable to say that there's nothing wrong with queen Xue's arrangement, but after listening to Xia'er's confession, the last people who are with Mingfei are the Crown Princess and miss Xue. At this time, both of them are not here. It's too suspicious.

The Empress Dowager's face was as heavy as water, and she said angrily, "go and pass it on to the mourning family."

"Yes Aunt Zheng sent someone in a hurry.

But suddenly there was a commotion and an anxious voice came out, "noble, you wait."

What everyone is surprised is that Mingfei rushes out from the inside. The person who has just had a miscarriage of labor, who doesn't know where the strength comes from, nearly collapses and is crazy, and several people can't hold it.

Minggui has always been gentle and virtuous, as gentle and graceful as a lily. At this moment, her beautiful face is a little twisted, and she is as miserable as a ghost. Everyone feels that she is very strange. However, it's understandable to think that she has just experienced the pain of losing her son, and she can't bear to blame her.

Seeing that the Ming nobleman nearly ran into the empress dowager, empress Xue frowned and said, "Ming nobleman, you don't feel well. It's easy to have a rest in your room. The Empress Dowager is here..."

Where does the dejected Ming Fei hear queen Xue say? Deep in hatred, she screamed: "empress dowager, empress dowager, when I was enjoying the flowers, someone pushed me behind my back..."

Everyone was surprised, Empress Dowager eyes suddenly a Li, "what do you say?"

Huifei was surprised and said, "someone really pushed you?"

Mingfei is not easy to conceive the child, but it's so inexplicably gone, physical and mental loss, she is not reconciled, she hate, hold a breath, support not to let himself fall, gritted his teeth: "in front of the Empress Dowager and the Queen's face, if my concubine has half a lie, I can't die!"

The Empress Dowager was very angry when she saw that the Ming nobleman had made such a poisonous oath. She said, "can you see who it is?"

Mingfei shakes her head in grief, her pale face is not a trace of blood, but her snow-white bedclothes are covered with blood, and her words are weeping blood. "I didn't see it clearly. I didn't expect that in the empress's palace, there are still people who dare to attack me. Poor me, my child has not come to this world for a day, and she died of evil hands..."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, which made people palpitating. All the imperial concubines looked at each other, with unspeakable fear and doubt in their hearts.

Chunfei advised: "don't worry, with the Empress Dowager and the empress here, you will be able to find out the person who pushed you into the water."

Huifei also vowed: "sister Ming, you can rest assured that the net of heaven is wide and clear, and the evil doers will receive it from heaven, and they will be able to give justice to you and your children."

Empress Xue, as the head of the harem, and it was in Changchun palace, naturally, she was duty bound. She said in a deep voice, "Xia'er said that you were with Princess Xue at first, but why did you separate later?"

Although Mingfei is the empress of the emperor, she is similar to bailixue and Xue Lingwei in age, taste and style, and has more common topics, so she naturally comes together.

Mingfei is suffering from both physical and mental pain. Although she is heartbreaking, she still insists: "when I get to Wisteria Pavilion, my concubine feels cold, so she orders Xia'er to go back to jinseju to get a cape. After a while, the Crown Princess says that there is something else to do in the palace, so I have to go back to the Palace first, leaving my concubine and miss Xue. Miss Xue says that she is allergic to the pollen of drunken Yang Fei, and will feel dizzy after smelling it for a long time, I want to go to Heze garden on the other side to see Luoyang brocade. I feel a little tired and want to have a rest. I wait for Xia'er to come by Qinglan lake. Suddenly someone pushes me from my back. I fall into the water unexpectedly... "

Jiuzui Yangfei is a kind of precious peony flower with pink petals, pink top, soft branches, drooping flower heads and delicate drunkenness, so it is called "jiuzui Yangfei".

The Empress Dowager's face was very gloomy. She said coldly, "so, Miss Xue will leave you alone by Qinglan lake?"

Mingfei heartache, "Xue girl was originally to accompany my concubine, until Xia Er came back, it can be seen that she has been sneezing, I feel sorry, and think that Xia Er should come soon, but after a while, let her go first."

The Empress Dowager looked at the queen with a straight face, "did miss Xue have any allergy to the drunken Yang Fei before?"

Hearing that the Empress Dowager was not good at her words, Queen Xue quickly said, "if you go back to your mother, this is her old problem for many years. Everything is good. She is allergic to the pollen of drunken Yang Fei."

There is a thick cloud of doubt floating above the palace. Since she came to Changchun palace, the Empress Dowager's face has been tense and half smile has not been seen. Her eyes are shining with cold light, which makes people shiver.

With endless hatred in her eyes, Mingfei is scattered and crazy, but she is extremely weak after childbirth. She can't support it until now. Finally, she faints and murmurs, "child... My child..."

Mingfei is helped down again. The Empress Dowager is there. Princess Anning doesn't dare to cause trouble. But looking at Mingfei's sad appearance, she is in full bloom. She can't stand the affectation of Mingfei for a long time. Now the dependence in her stomach is gone, and the first happy one is her.

Bai Lixue has learned the news of Mingfei's miscarriage on her way here. Where did the accident happen? It happened in the imperial concubine's palace?

As soon as Xue Lingwei came, she noticed that the atmosphere was not right. The Empress Dowager's face was livid, and she tried them one by one. "Princess, it was you and the Ming noble people who enjoyed the flowers together at first?"

Bai Lixue said calmly, "yes."

"Why did you leave early?"

"The mother taught her son to manage the accounts of the inner palace. The son couldn't live up to her mother's hard work. Because she was very familiar with the peony garden and didn't want to enjoy the flowers, she went back to the palace ahead of time to get familiar with the accounts."

Mingfei said the same thing, and the words of the Crown Princess couldn't find any flaws. The Empress Dowager looked at Xue Lingwei and said, "then you and Minggui are together?"

Xue Lingwei said quickly: "yes, because the minister's daughter is allergic to the pollen of drunken Yang Fei, it's inconvenient to accompany the Ming noble to continue in the wisteria Pavilion, so she left."

She couldn't find out who was behind the scenes all the time. The Empress Dowager's anger was directed at Xue Lingwei, who was not sensible. She said in a cold voice, "you are the empress's cousin. I'm sorry to see that you have always been a sensible child. How can you be so careless? Knowing that Minggui is pregnant and there is no one around to wait on her, do you still want her to stay by Qinglan lake alone

Hearing the reproach of the Empress Dowager's words, Xue Lingwei lowered her head and said to herself, "my daughter was very dizzy at that time. She was not thoughtful and thoughtless. Now my daughter is very regretful and asks the Empress Dowager to make a confession."

In front of the empress dowager, empress Xue was inconvenient to protect her short-term, but Princess Chun said, "empress dowager, Miss Xue is pure and kind-hearted. Besides, Xia'er is expected to come back soon. After all, she is the daughter in the boudoir. How could she expect someone to attack her in such a short space? Please look at the Empress Dowager for the sake of her youth and ignorance

The Empress Dowager was not moved. Seeing that she was angry, how dare others persuade her? Princess Anning suddenly said, "I think that even though Miss Xue is not considerate, the culprit is the villain who pushed the noble into the water. You can't lose the big for the small and fall into the villain's treachery, can you?"

Xue Lingwei looks at Ning Fei gratefully. The Empress Dowager doesn't say anything. From the time point of view, it takes less than half a quarter of an hour from Xue Lingwei's departure to Mingfei's falling into the water. It's unreasonable to blame Xue Lingwei, so she calms down a little.

Huifei suddenly said: "empress dowager, empress dowager, soon after Miss Xue left, someone started to attack the Ming noble. My concubine thought that Miss Xue and her servant girl were not far away. Maybe she heard something unusual?"

This is a breakthrough. The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed. Queen Xue immediately said, "Wei'er, you really want to think about it. When you left Wisteria Pavilion, did you hear or see anything?"

Xue Lingwei tried hard to think, and finally shook her head under the people's breath. "Chen Nu inhaled a lot of pollen at that time, and she was a little dizzy. She just wanted to leave quickly, but she didn't hear anything."

The Empress Dowager's anger rose again. "How about your servant girl? She's not dizzy, is she?"

Xue Lingwei is obviously a little scared, "ah Luo is waiting outside the hall at the moment."

"Come in." The voice of the Empress Dowager made all people tremble. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager, who has been worshiping Buddhism for many years, is so terrible when she gets angry.

Ah Luo came in with her head down. Before she could see her, the Empress Dowager opened the door to the mountain and said, "when you and your lady left the wisteria Pavilion today, did you see or hear anything?"

For the first time, she was questioned by the Empress Dowager. Ah Luo was very frightened, "maidservant... Maidservant... Didn't see anything..."

Seeing the girl's eyes twinkling, the Empress Dowager expected that she had nothing to say. After a long trial, she didn't find out who was the culprit. When she saw a little girl, she hesitated and covered up. The Empress Dowager was already impatient and suddenly changed her color. "I dare to lie in front of the mourning family. I'll drag her out and beat her to death!"

The whole hall was shocked, and aro was even more shocked. She kowtowed desperately. "The Empress Dowager spared her life. The maid said that she would feel dizzy as long as she smelled the fragrance of drunken Princess Yang's flowers. The maid helped the lady to leave. After a short walk, the handkerchief was blown off by the wind. When the maid went to pick it up, I happen to see the princess's maid Qi Xin walking towards the direction of Qinglan Lake

Crown princess? Everyone was shocked. The princess, who had left long ago, and her maid appeared in Qinglan lake?

This result is too shocking, Queen Xue suddenly surprised, Phoenix eyes linglie, word by word way: "you see clearly?"

Startled by Queen Xue's anger, aro's body shrank and said in a low voice: "I've seen Qixin several times and I can recognize her."

Bai Lixue ignored those astonished eyes, and a sneer rose on her lips. She thought that Mingfei fell into the water, but it was just a plot of the harem. Unexpectedly, the fire burned herself?

Finally found out some eyebrows, the Empress Dowager's eyes cold and sharp, "crown princess, where's your maid?"

Bai Lixue said calmly: "Qi Xin is waiting outside the hall, but it must be ah Luo's mistake. When her granddaughter-in-law leaves the wisteria Pavilion, Qi Xin and her granddaughter-in-law go together."

The Empress Dowager sneered, "so this girl is wronging your maid?"

Bai Lixue's face was always calm and indifferent. Without a trace of confusion, she said: "sun's daughter-in-law and Ming GUI have no grievances or grudges. Why send someone to push her into the water?"

Huifei also sneered, "you can't say that. The emperor loves the Dragon fetus in the belly of Ming noble people like a treasure. Once he gives birth to a little prince in the future, how dare you say that she doesn't care?"

Bai Lixue replied impolitely, "according to empress huifei, as long as it is the prince, I should not tolerate it. Isn't it that both his royal highness and the ninth prince are in danger?"

The forbidden ninth Prince is a thorn in huifei's heart. It is bloody and painful when she mentions it. It also reminds her of her hatred with Donggong. Her eyes are cold and close to one step again. "In front of the empress dowager, our palace just wants to discuss the matter. Maybe the Empress Dowager and Ming noble people really have no grievances, but it doesn't mean that the Empress Dowager doesn't have this motive."

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more fierce, and the cold light flashed in Queen Xue's eyes. "Huifei, it's a matter of great importance. We need to talk about the evidence. This is not the time to kill the heart."

"Are you killing me?" Huifei replied coldly, "there is a empress dowager here. One is the Crown Princess and the other is Miss Xue. The Empress Dowager is always fair. In the view of her ministers and concubines, we should avoid suspicion."

"I've always been honest in my work. I don't need Princess Hui to remind me!" Queen Xue said faintly: "not to mention the Empress Dowager sitting in the town, does huifei worry that the palace will be wronged or protected?"

Huifei's eyes flashed by a strange scene. Now it was Xue Lingwei's maid who exposed bailixue. No wonder others immediately said, "what the empress said is true. However, it's really distressing that Minggui lost her child innocently. The emperor is still waiting for the result. It's no one else who accuses the crown prince. It's the empress's own niece, My concubine's worry is not unreasonable. "

If it is pointed out by others, it may be planted. But one is the daughter-in-law of the queen, and the other is her own cousin. They are all of their own people. This kind of evidence is lethal.

Xue Lingwei seemed to know that she had a problem with her aunt. She kept her head down and did not dare to look up at her aunt, as if she had done something very wrong.

Seeing Wei'er's appearance, Queen Xue was angry again, but she didn't have the heart to blame her again. She said in a cool voice, "ah Luo, where did you see Qi Xin again?"

It's not easy to survive in the shadow of many great people. Aro is terrified and stammers: "it's the place where the Ming nobles are waiting..."

The atmosphere was so oppressive that she couldn't breathe. The Empress Dowager's heart was full of ups and downs. She said harshly, "bring Qi's heart in."

Qi Xin was waiting outside the hall and was soon brought in. The Empress Dowager said calmly, "where did you go after the crown princess left the wisteria pavilion?"

Although the Empress Dowager seems calm, but familiar people all know that this is just the calm before the storm, can't help but for Qi Xin pinch a sweat.

Qi heart is about to see the crown princess, but the Empress Dowager suddenly burst into a rage, "Ai Jia asked you, what are you looking at?"

Qi heart a surprised, busy way: "maidservant where didn't go, is with the Crown Princess back to the palace."

The Empress Dowager grinned and said, "is that right? But why did someone see you by Qinglan lake? "

"I haven't been to Qinglan lake. Someone must have read it wrong." Qixin denies it.

Huifei just wanted to make things as big as possible. She suggested: "empress dowager, this girl has a hard mouth. If she doesn't punish her, I'm afraid she won't admit it."

The Empress Dowager let out a "well", and now she is trying to catch one of the culprits. She said harshly, "if you don't punish a stubborn person, you won't be recruited. Come on!"

"Wait!" Bai Lixue suddenly made a sound, met the eyes of the empress dowager, and said without fear: "does the emperor's grandmother already believe that it was my maid who pushed the Ming noble into the water?"
