A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 121
Concubine Xu slowly woke up. She was sitting in the empty Zhaoxiang Palace, with many memories in her mind. In childhood, when he was young, he was made a concubine by his majesty, and when he stayed in Zhaoxiang Palace.
Many memories have become dim and fuzzy, only the moment when I put on the palace dress, the pink skirt is gorgeous and eye-catching.
She gave so much and forbeared for so many years in order to one day be the emperor’s mother. But all of this has vanished today.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadow of the window, Xu Fei looked at the light and shadow shining on her body and chuckled a few times, then the laughter stopped abruptly.
Someone walked in, and Xu Fei raised her head and glanced at him.
“Empress Xu, by your majesty’s sacred order, you will be deprived of your title and abolished your master position in Zhaoxiang Palace.” Liu Zhongbao saluted her: “I’m wronged you to go with the old slave first.”
Concubine Xu sneered and asked, “Does this palace have the right to refuse?”
Liu Zhongbao smiled without saying a word.
He turned his head and looked out the door. Empress Empress and Princess Chen were standing there, and the afterglow of the setting sun was a golden light on them at night.
“Concubine Xu is tolerant and wise, the eldest brother is outrageous, and the temperaments of the mother and son are really different.”
“The south is going on the opposite side…”
Jiuzhu suddenly remembered the letter Mrs. Zhao left to her, and she had an absurd guess in her heart.
“Su Meidai, I didn’t expect that you, the merchant girl, won in the end.” Xu Fei walked out of the hall with hatred in her eyes: “You killed me today. Staying ashore will definitely remember today for me and report today. Enmity!”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.
Xu Fei’s remarks are telling the queen brightly that I can’t do it if I fall from power, you have to kill my son, or he will make trouble for you.
What a “kind” mother, she didn’t forget to hold her son together when she was unlucky.
Jiuzhu, who consciously knew something about the people in Beijing, was shocked again by the behavior of Concubine Xu.
The capital is indeed a complicated place.
As a mother, she kind of “loves” her son.
It was only after the king was awake that he knew what had happened in Zhaoxiang Palace.
“You said that the mother concubine is in front of the queen, saying that I will avenge her?” Wang Huai laughed more ugly than crying. Does the mother concubine think his current situation is too good, or think that his son is dispensable?
“What did she do?” Wang Huai wiped his face with cold water, and his expression calmed down.
“The mother concubine sent someone to Dali Temple to inquire about the secret case, and was preparing to spread rumors in the palace to provoke the feelings between the fifth brother and the fifth younger siblings, and to separate the Ming family from the royal family.” Princess Huai looked at Wang Huai with pity: “The mother and concubine are now being imprisoned. At the prison guarding the dragon and guarding the dragon, the emperor did not order you to be forbidden to visit.”
“She’s crazy!” Wang Huai could hardly believe that his mother and concubine would do something like this: “The Ming family is full of loyalty and good faith, and has benefited countless people in the world, making them renounce the royal family, but the people in the world are suffering!”
The five younger brothers and five younger siblings only came here to relieve him yesterday, but when he turned around, his mother and concubine even considered the five younger brothers and five younger siblings, but wanted to make the couple feel grudged. How would he face them?
“Clean yourself up.” Princess Huai stuffed the gift list into Wang Huai’s hands: “Now go and apologize to the fifth brother and the fifth younger siblings.”
“Thank you, the princess for taking care of me.” Wang Huai saw the items listed on the gift list, as well as the dowry of the princess. Thinking of the past few years when the princess married her, she was virtuous and filial in front of her mother and concubine, but the mother concubine has always been picky about her everywhere, always dissatisfied with her, wronged her all these years, it was he who was sorry for her.
“These are all things you like, keep them, and fill them with others.” Wang Huai eliminated the dowry of Princess Huai and planned to replace them with other things.
“His Royal Highness has spent a lot of money to support counsellors and students these years. After we moved into the palace, the original filial piety was cut off, and you were suspended again. Other things are not as sincere as these.” Princess Huai looked at the wife. The ruthless entrapment, the dejected and pitiful husband, felt a little softened: “If the prince is in trouble, after we move back to the palace, he will give me a few more good things.”
Wang Huai stretched out his hand and held the hand of Princess Huai, and was silent for a long time: “These years, I can’t help you.”
Princess Huai took out her hand and said with a sarcasm: “The prince is telling a joke again.”
Looking at the empty hands, Wang Huai had no face to say to the princess, but he felt more embarrassed.
Kylin Palace.
Wang Chen held his head and sat up. Seeing him awake, Jiuzhu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down: “A headache?”
“Yeah.” He leaned his head on Jiuzhu, lazily not wanting to move.
Jiuzhu’s fingers pressed the top of his head lightly, which quickly relieved his headache: “Empress Xu Fei was taken away by the Dragon Guard.”
“She really has a problem.” Chen Wang Qiang held up the spirit and finished washing, and sat down again leaning on Jiuzhu.
“His Royal Highness, is the relationship between Concubine Xu and the mother and son pregnant?”
Wang Chen shook his head: “In the past, when taking riding and shooting lessons, other princes and concubines would send people to deliver things. Because Xu Fei was in poor health, she shouldn’t worry about tiredness, so she rarely sent people to deliver things to her eldest brother. In the name of the father, two things are sent to the shooting range every day.”
“I rarely see my eldest brother and Concubine Xu being alone, nor have I ever seen concubine Xu punish eldest brother, so only they know what the relationship between their mother and child is.” Wang Chen took Jiuzhu into his arms: “How? Remember to ask this?”
“His Royal Highness, do you think it is possible for Big Brother, not Xu Fei’s child?”
“Hush.” Chen Wang stretched out his hand to hold Jiu Zhu’s mouth, and whispered: “You can’t talk nonsense about this. Father doesn’t like green hats.”
“I didn’t say that the eldest brother is not a child of the father, the color of the hat of the father is still so bright, don’t think about it.”
Jiuzhu pulled down Wang Chen’s hand: “Look in the script, isn’t there a civet cat for the prince, and the daughter for the son. Xu Fei is unlucky, and don’t forget to take her eldest brother together. There is a grudge. She seems to be waiting for her father to be dissatisfied with her eldest brother.”
If the eldest brother is not Xu Fei’s biological son, then the eldest brother’s position in her heart is to use tools. When she cannot use this tool, she will choose to destroy the tool to retaliate against those who care about the tool.
Wang Chen originally thought Jiuzhu’s statement was absurd, but after listening to what Jiuzhu said when Concubine Xu was taken away, he straightened his back.
“This is really not something that my mother can do.” He thought for a while: “Would you like to let the dragon guard check it out?”
“Check!” Jiuzhu nodded: “What if it really isn’t.”
If it is not, it is a good thing for the eldest brother.
If it is the biological mother and child, then the eldest brother would be too pitiful.
Wang Huai went to the Kylin Palace to apologize, and just sat down, before he had time to speak, he was warmly received by the fifth younger brother and the fifth younger siblings.
Huai Wang: “…”
This is a little different from what he expected.
When he finally left, not only did he not send out the apocalypse, but instead he was stuffed with a lot of things by his fifth brother and sister.
Do they believe him and know that what the mother concubine does has nothing to do with him?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty. He was sorry to the princess, to the fifth brothers and sisters, and to the father and the emperor.
Helping the mother and concubine to conceal her pretending to be sick is selfish as a son. But if he knew that his mother and concubine would use loyal ministers as pawns, he would stop him.
Thinking of his mother and concubine, Wang Huai wiped his face severely, found the leader of the guardian dragon, and wanted to see Concubine Xu.
“His Royal Highness, please come down here.” The commander Wang did not refuse to hold the king, but he was afraid that the king would cause trouble when he went to guard the dragon and guard the prison. He told him what Xu concubine had committed over the years.
“You said that in the hidden residence, the mother and concubine once colluded with Du Qingke, wanting to join him inside and outside, using his father as a bargaining chip, in exchange for freedom and wealth?” Wang Huai knew that the dragon guard would not lie to himself, he stood outside the gate of the jail , Looking at the darkness behind the door, suddenly lost the courage to step in.
Behind the door of the black hole, it was like a giant beast’s mouth, swallowing all his courage.
The moment he stepped into the door, the chill instantly spread all over his body, and he shuddered.
He soon saw Concubine Xu, who was still wearing a complicated palace dress, and even the hairpin on her body did not fade.
Seeing her son appear, Xu Fei glanced at him lightly, not expecting him to save herself.
The mother and son were speechless.
Wang Huai opened his mouth first: “My concubine was in the hidden residence back then, did you want to take me with you?”
“Take you away?” Concubine Xu sneered: “You are your father’s child. If I take you away, how much trouble do you know? I didn’t expect that those people would fail and let your father get the big treasure. The things that have passed have become my burden.”
“So, at that time, even if you found a way out, you never thought of taking me with you?” Wang Huai was extremely disappointed. The commander Wang who was standing behind him looked at him with a little pity in his eyes.
Xu Fei smiled and said nothing, but the meaning inside was self-evident.
“Sometimes I really wonder if I am the mother and concubine’s child.” Wang Huai took a step back, feeling dispirited: “It’s the son who shouldn’t ask.”
“You shouldn’t ask, this palace sometimes hopes that you are not my son.” The smile on Fei Xu’s face was constricted: “You are stupid and don’t know how to work, but as long as your brain is easy to use, as the eldest son, you have long been Sit as a prince. I have planned so much for you, but ended up like this…”
“Are you planning for me?!” Wang Huai interrupted her: “You are for yourself!”
“You trash, get out!” Xu Fei looked at him in disgust: “Even if I raise a pig, it’s better than you. You go and be the **** of your fifth brother. There is no trash son like you in this palace. .”
Wang Huai’s heart was as cold as ice, he endured and endured, lifted his robe and knelt outside the prison door, kowtow to Concubine Xu.
But Xu Fei turned around and stopped looking at him.
Click, click again.
“Mother concubine gave the son and minister flesh and blood, and the son is incompetent, let the mother and concubine disappointed, please take care of the mother and concubine.” Nine ringing heads knocked their heads sincerely and hard, and the blood slid down their foreheads to the chin. Wang Huai stood up and said, My son said goodbye.”
Concubine Xu still didn’t look at him.
It wasn’t until Wang Huai walked away that she slowly turned her head and looked at the empty cell corridor, her eyes were extremely calm, and no one could see her thoughts.
The leader of the king showed more pity to the pregnant king, and when she was born with such a mother and concubine, how long did she have no eyes when she was reborn?
That night, Concubine Xu died.
Suicide by taking poison.
She was lying on the stone bed in the jail, her complicated palace dress was clean, her makeup was neat, and she died decently and gracefully.
“It’s so pitiful to have a king.”
“Yes, I was treated coldly by my mother, and was scolded bloody.”
The scolding person felt complacent and suspicious, only the poor and unlucky king who was not cared by his mother, and was also burdened by disgust and disgust.
I am afraid that in this lifetime, I can no longer be relieved.
Emperor Longfeng also knew what Xu Concubine said to his eldest son. He sighed a few long times, not only rewarded a lot of things to the king, but also restored the salary of several princes.
It’s just that there is still no mention of sending them back to the palace.
“The Dragon Guard has found out that the eldest brother is indeed Xu Fei’s biological child.” Wang Chen put the information that the Dragon Guard investigated in front of Jiuzhu: “Maybe some mothers do not love their children from birth.”
“No.” Jiuzhu shook her head. She didn’t read the information, and there were still stars flashing in her bright eyes: “Maybe I was wrong.”
“Maybe she is a mother who loves her children.”
Concubine Xu suicided herself, and Emperor Longfeng did not continue to pursue what she had done before, and ordered her to be buried in the concubine mausoleum.
Her funeral was not solemn, and two days later, it was the canonized prince ceremony.
