Chapter 451: Concubine Xiao is so angry that she is about to die
"Your Majesty, you have already made it clear! She is indeed a protector of her master."
"I'm asking you. Speak!"
Eunuch De hurriedly bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, Miaoyin's lies are meant to imply something."
"Yes, that's right. Send someone to check the number of people who left the palace in the two days before March, and then check who went to Huichun Hall to buy abortion pills."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will send someone to investigate right away."
After Eunuch De left, Emperor Kun put down his red brush, held his forehead with one hand, and rubbed his temples with his fingers. Once, twice.
After a long time,
He sighed deeply.
**
Let's say,
Ruyi Palace,
Concubine Xiao, who was sent back to the palace in a sedan chair, started venting her anger as soon as she entered the inner hall. Chunhua and Qiushi were so scared that they dared not breathe and just shrank their necks like quails.
Aunt Yao didn't understand why and kept following behind to persuade them.
"My queen, my queen, what's wrong with you? Be careful of the baby in your belly!"
"What's wrong, you ask?"
Concubine Xiao was so angry when she heard this that she walked up to Chunhua and Qiushi, panting heavily.
He raised his hand and slapped the two men's cheeks twice.
"Ah? Your Majesty, calm down."
"Your Highness, please calm down!"
The two men were caught off guard by being slapped twice, and they were so scared that they fell to their knees and kowtowed on the ground.
*
"Oh, my lady, they are in the wrong and should be punished, but you also have to be careful about your health!"
Nanny Yao was extremely anxious.
Then I heard Concubine Xiao's loud roar.
"Calm down? I can really calm down?! Ask these two slaves what they did?"
Concubine Xiao became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and still not satisfied, she raised her hands and slapped the two senior palace maids on the face several times.
Her palms became red and swollen.
Blood instantly flowed from the corners of their mouths.
"My Lady Concubine, please calm down. I know I was wrong! Please calm down, my Lady Concubine."
Chunhua and Qiushi kowtowed loudly.
*
Concubine Xiao pointed at the two and roared,
"When I went to Kunning Palace, I said I wanted to put on a show and repeatedly reminded you two to be alert.
And you guys? You actually let me lie on the cold floor with water and blood stains under me. I feel extremely uncomfortable.
You also have to lie straight on the ground and endure being laughed at like a monkey.
Is this what you call loyalty to the master? Compared to Miaoyin who was beaten to death by the emperor, you two are not even as good as one of her fingers. "
At this moment, Aunt Yao had already understood the general situation: Chunhua and Qiushi had failed to protect the Empress.
When she heard Miaoyin was beaten to death, her heart skipped a beat.
That was the Empress's personal maid, and she was beaten to death just like that?!
Nanny Yao's heart was beating like a drum.
But when he saw the stains on Concubine Xiao's back and heard her lying on the ground for a long time like a monkey, he was so angry that he went up to the two senior palace maids and started to scold them.
Chunhua and Qiushi knew they were in the wrong and knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes, not daring to even cry.
*
Seeing that Concubine Xiao had calmed down a little, Nanny Yao said carefully,
"My lady, let me change your clothes for you."
Concubine Xiao nodded tiredly.
Aunt Yao glared at the two people on the ground.
"You two, hurry up and prepare toiletries for the queen."
"Yes." The two people on the ground quickly got up and hurried to prepare.
So, Nanny Yao helped Concubine Xiao into the inner room.
*
After everything was packed up, Concubine Xiao sat down to drink a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, and then she heard the eunuch come to report,
"Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, Prince Rui requests an audience."
"Xuan,"
"Here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Hengrui hurried in.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and even forgot to greet. He stepped forward and took Concubine Xiao's hand and looked around. Seeing that Concubine Xiao was calm, he asked anxiously,
"Mother, I heard that you were poisoned and vomited blood? What happened?"
Concubine Xiao's anger has subsided a lot. Although the ultimate goal was not achieved, at least Queen Qin's power to be the head of the family was deprived today.
"My son, where did you get this information? The Emperor will definitely not let anyone tell anyone."
Liang Hengrui saw that his mother was speaking easily and there was nothing unusual, so he sat down and said,
"When Miaoyin from Kunning Palace went to the Imperial Hospital to call for help, one of our people happened to hear it. Can you please tell me what happened?"
At this time, the slap marks on Liang Hengrui's face had faded. It seemed that the elixir that Concubine Xiao asked the Button Fairy for was also magical, and it could not be seen without careful observation.
He opened his eyes, which were as beautiful as those of Concubine Xiao, and wondered,
"My son, the Crown Prince was deposed and exiled yesterday. Mother was so happy that she went to pay her respects to the Queen today.
After using a little trick, he wanted to use the abortion drug in the tea to create the illusion that the mother was poisoned, and then strike while the iron is hot to pull her off the throne.
Although the scheme of poisoning tea is old fashioned, the mother concubine cast a spell and put abortion drugs in everyone's tea and the water in the teapot.
The queen was speechless.
Alas! Such a good opportunity, but in the end it was ruined by the Queen Mother! This old woman has her own business everywhere.
And that slut Miaoyin also came out as a target and was beaten to death by your father!
No matter what, my mother's plan was not in vain.
The Queen's power over the six palaces is temporarily shared by Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Wan!
Although it is a bit regrettable that there is no mother, it is also a blow to the Queen overall!
My son, just wait! The position of Crown Prince will be yours. And the position of Queen will also be your mother's."
After Concubine Xiao finished speaking, she could not hide the pride on her face.
Liang Hengrui frowned and asked,
"You have been poisoned and vomited blood, and father has only deprived the queen of the right to manage the six palaces? How can a lowly maid have the ability to cause chaos in the inner palace? It is simply ridiculous."
"It makes me angry just to talk about it. It was your grandmother, that old woman, who backed her up! And she didn't say a word about your mother being poisoned. She beat around the bush and said someone was framing the queen!"
After listening to this, Liang Hengrui also had some complaints on his face.
"Mother, you are too impatient! If you don't hit the target with your first strike, you will have already lost the initiative. It will be difficult to use the child in your belly to defeat the queen in the future!"
Concubine Xiao also sighed.
"When mother came back, she regretted it a little! They say that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years. Mother also felt that she was a little too eager for success today and got carried away!"
After saying this, Concubine Xiao patted her head, leaving Liang Hengrui at a loss for words.
*
Aunt Yao at the side said,
"My lady, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
Concubine Xiao nodded.
"Nurse, tell me! We never treated you as an outsider."
"Well, your majesty, the king of Rui has a long time to live! Now we must be patient.
When the queen gives birth to the baby in her belly and becomes the imperial concubine, won’t everything we want come true? "
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao disagreed.
"Nurse, I'm still four months away from giving birth! How can you let me continue to be suffocated in this small palace?"
