Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 47
Rong Xi gradually stopped the crying, because his stomach was too firm, although his forehead was pressed against Mu Huai’s shoulder, it was still some distance away from him.
Such a posture made them very uncomfortable.
Mu Huai’s legs were slender and strong, and Rong Xi almost knelt on them.
On top of it, it carried the weight of their mother and child.
Although it looks easy to fall off in this posture, Rong Xi feels extremely safe in his heart.
She knew that Mu Huai would not let her fall, and would take good care of her and her child.
Even after returning to the palace, Rong Xi never completely trusted the man in front of him.
To this day, she can no longer ignore the increasing sense of security.
Mu Huai had been protecting her in his own way, and he gave her the sense of security he hadn’t had in many years.
Since his father Rong Bing’s accident, Rong Xi has experienced an ups and downs in his life.
After being a slave, she always secretly told herself that even if no one in this world protects her, she herself must be strong and learn to protect herself.
And now she has not only the shelter of the most powerful person in the world, but also his favor.
Rong Xi hopes that Mu Huai can always protect her and spoil her like this.
This taste is really sinking, even addictive.
But Mu Huai was after all the Prince of Daqi, the future emperor.
On the side of the emperor, whether it is a concubine or a courtier, you must always keep in mind-to accompany a monarch is like a tiger.
Rong Xi was afraid that time would increase and she would rely too much on Mu Huai.
I am also afraid that he will hold her too high now, and if she falls out of favor one day later, she will fall from a height and fall even worse.
Thinking about it, Rong Xi finally whistled out the truth to Mu Huai——
She confessed to him that it was Zhai Shiyin who helped her escape from the Yongxi Palace, and then Zhai Shiyin got the news from Ye Yunlan that she was pregnant.
Zhai Shiyin therefore refused to tolerate her. The thugs who intercepted her and Huanniang’s carriage on the Hongdu official road were most likely the killers sent by Zhai Shiyin.
Both the perpetrators of the deaths of Ye Yunlan and Huanniang were Zhai Shiyin alone.
After hearing this, Mu Huai was silent for a while.
Then he lowered his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice, “Why didn’t you talk alone? After Ye Yunlan died that day, Gu said that you might be able to avenge you with a sharp edge. Why should you use your child to calculate?”
Rong Xi looked down and raised her eyes again. She felt guilty and replied with a very small voice: “The concubine didn’t know what her husband thought of her… The palace people also said that you would marry her as a concubine, and the concubine always thought… She will enter the East Palace to be the prince…”
Mu Huai rim looked at her up and down.
Although he didn’t say a word, Rong Xi had probably guessed this person’s thoughts.
Mu Huai must scold her for being stupid in his heart.
Rong Xi said in a low voice, “…Moreover, there is no evidence for her concubine. After all, Zhai Shiyin is the queen’s niece. At that time, her concubine… couldn’t move her at all.”
After speaking, Mu Huai put the woman on her lap back on the side of the bed, and her big palm touched her swollen belly.
He treats the unborn child with gentle movements, but his eyes are extremely dark.
In vain his previous life, the queen and Zhai Shiyin’s **** had a smooth life. Now although Zhai Shiyin is dead, the queen is fine.
Although he did not respect the queen in his previous life, he also allowed her to live a stable and wealthy life in Yongxi Palace.
Since she had the desire to harm his women and children, he didn’t need to bear her anymore.
It’s just that Emperor Zhuang still has some feelings for the queen.
Now that he is old and dying, if he learns that he killed the queen in a cruel way, the Emperor will not only disappoint him, but will also be overwhelmed.
After all, Mu Huai still cared about his father and son’s feelings. After careful consideration, he decided to let the old **** in Weiyang Palace live temporarily.
He looked at Rong Xi’s stomach and whispered: “If something happens in the future, don’t hide the loneliness anymore. Don’t always have those crooked thoughts, and you will still be lonely in the end.”
Rong Xi nodded heavily and said, “Yeah.”
Just as Mu Huai was about to let go, he found a few more tears on the back of his hand.
It was this squeamish woman who was crying again.
He cried so much that his heart trembled.
I can’t blame that some fools who are confused by the disaster always like to call the hearts of women.
Mu Huai frowned and said coldly, “Don’t cry anymore.”
Rong Xi was so frightened that he fell silent immediately.
After tossing for a long time, Bianjing was already Bai Luxi, and both of them had no intention of sleeping again.
Mu Huai looked at the blood stains on the quilt mattress, stretched out his hand to wipe the woman’s tears, and asked, “What’s the matter with the blood on the bed? Is it your own blood?”
Rong Xi answered truthfully: “…It’s pigeon blood.”
After listening, Mu Huai paused for her tears.
He remembered the few pigeons that this woman brought him that night.
Mu Huai’s brows deepened, and a wave of nameless anger surged in his heart.
This woman has too many ghost thoughts.
After taking the pigeon blood, I was afraid of wasting it. That night, I coaxed him and asked him to eat all the pigeons.
Thanks to her being able to do such a thing, what kind of vicious woman does he raise?
Rong Xi carefully observed Mu Huai’s gloomy complexion. She had a big stomach. After Mu Huai put her down on her body, she kept putting her right hand behind her, struggling to support the bed.
Mu Huai was about to change into a clean Mianfu, and after a meeting, he went directly to the Jiazheng Palace.
When she got up from the bed, she saw Rong Xi’s long black hair draped in her eyes, beautiful eyes and teary eyes, with a trace of melancholy beauty, and the blood stains beside her slender hands added a bit of strange beauty to her.
Xu was terrified, and she was breathing calmly.
Xuefeng, which is not known much higher than before pregnancy, also undulates.
The belly is so bulging, and the look is so timid.
Such a posture is really too tempting.
Mu Huai looked at him slightly, and he was extremely angry.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he could still think of her.
What a monster, a disaster, and an evil spirit!
After Mu Huai took a deep breath, his voice finally calmly said to the woman on the bed: “Let the maid change the mattress and sleep for a while.”
******
Yongxi Palace, Jiazheng Hall.
Above the court, Mu Huai will report all the recent investigations to Emperor Zhuang.
Zhai Zhuo’s crime is unforgivable. Not only did he greedy the national treasury, he also disrespected the ancestors of the clan. He actually stole the relics of Empress Aizhen while supervising the construction of the royal tomb.
But the eldest lady of the Zhai family, Zhai Shiyin, misbehaved, but she was still jealous of the prince Liangdi. She practiced witchcraft in the mansion secretly, almost causing the prince Liangdi to lose her son.
Every one of the evil deeds committed by the Zhai family was a monstrous evil.
In fact, the ministers of the Central Government vaguely heard this morning that something went wrong with the Zhai family.
It was said that the prince was actually in the middle of the night, taking the guards and robbing the Zhai mansion, and also dragging the Zhai daughter by the hair, causing her to hit a sharp stone with her head and die.
Although the methods used to kill the Zhai daughter were extremely cruel, the prince’s usual style of dealing with affairs was always the same. The ministers were not surprised, and no one felt strange and sorry.
Hearing the stern voice of the prince’s speech, all the courtiers felt that after the Emperor Zhuang had dealt with the Zhai family, they could retreat.
But who knows, the prince said: “I have one more thing to do.”
After Emperor Zhuang answered, the courtiers were guessing, and saw an official with a strange face coming in with a tooth sign. Since he was in the Shenbi public service, his official position was no more than Grade 6 or below.
The minister who entered the hall was Shaocheng Xue Rui of Dali Temple.
Xue Rui’s official position was too low. When he entered the Yongxi Palace on weekdays, he could not enter the hall to listen to politics.
Today, since he was introduced into the temple by the prince, any courtiers who are interested can guess that this little name Xue Rui should be the one the prince wants to promote.
Although Xue Rui entered the hall to face the saint for the first time, he was very calm and indifferent.
He talked about the doubts about Rong Bing’s case back then with Emperor Zhuang.
After hearing this, Emperor Zhuang thought for a moment.
He had some impressions of this Taichang Siqing, whose surname was Taichang, many years ago, and there was an accident in the tomb of Empress Yuzhen. He didn’t want to punish him too harshly, but his disposal at the time was only to deprive him of his official position.
However, due to the advice of Dr. Yu Shi, Rong Bing was ordered to be exiled.
Why did the prince suddenly want to investigate the old case more than ten years ago, and bring this Dali Temple Cheng to the Jiazheng Hall to reverse the case for the late Taichang Temple Qing?
Emperor Zhuang looked at Mu Huai in the main hall, who was dressed in mysterious clothes, and finally understood.
His beloved Liangdi was originally named Rong.
In the front womb, there is also a rumor that the Rong family is the daughter of a criminal official.
Emperor Zhuang knew in his heart that his strong-tempered beloved son’s original intention of doing this was actually to strive for a higher position for Rong Liangdi.
Mu Huai was more resolute and courageous than him in dealing with things, and Emperor Zhuang was pleased with this.
But even if Rong Xi’s father was fine, he was only a Fourth-Rank Taichang Siqing. Mu Huai could promote her to the position of princess, but Rong Liangdi would still be criticized.
Emperor Zhuang seemed to be listening to Xue Rui’s speech, but he was actually thinking.
Fang Fang next, what method will he use to help the woman to the position of the prince princess?
In order to show justice, Emperor Zhuang proclaimed the imperial decree that day to restore the dead official Rong Bing to his post, and he would also have an explanation for the family members of the Rong family who were convicted of being convicted.
The treatment of the Zhai family is as follows:
Zhai Zhuo, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Ritual, will beheaded at Wumen three days later.
As for the Zhai family clan who did not appear in the third service, the male will be exiled, and the female family will be charged into Yeting to be the humblest palace.
All the belongings of the Zhai family must be recharged into the treasury.
Although the current queen is also surnamed Zhai, Emperor Zhuang did not take her post as a reason for her affair, but ordered her to think behind closed doors in Weiyang Palace.
Mu Huai was not satisfied with the result of Empress Zhai’s disposal, but he did not directly express his dissatisfaction in front of Emperor Zhuang.
He thought that after Emperor Zhuang died, he would not leave her any way to survive.
After Zhai Zhuomai’s property was put into the national treasury, the people in the DPRK and the Central Government were also in panic and dumbfounded. No one had expected that a single official book of the Ministry of rites could be greedy for such an old silver.
The courtiers who were a little bit anti-minded were all vigilant, and the prince only took the Zhai family at first.
As the crown prince, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to use the excuse of pursuing corrupt officials to eradicate the North Korean forces that were unfavorable to him.
Mu Huai dropped last year’s treasury expenses from the household department. After copying the Zhai family, he still wanted to use the extra money to purchase military supplies.
In recent years, there are not many good horses in Daqi, and the falcon is rich in Hummer, so he wants to trade with the falcon to buy some horses.
You don’t necessarily have to buy adult horses. Small foals are enough, and the price is much lower than adult horses.
Moreover, he has not had the mind to fight in recent years, and just wants Daqi to survive the drought three years later.
After three years, the foal will grow into a fat and strong steed. If you want to send troops to fight, these horses are the most fashionable.
Of course, there are other uses for this money.
The marriage between him and the woman could be more grand.
Unlike Na Rongxi as a concubine, this time, he was going to marry her as his wife.
Since I want to give her the best.
Thinking about it, Mu Huai said lightly.
He thought that the wedding ceremony of the two of them could be held by the Jinming Pond on the Royal Street, so that the people of Bianjing could also see the grand occasion of the crown prince’s concubine.
He wants the whole world to know that Rong Xi is the wife he is marrying Mu Huai Ming Media.
