Red House Shoufu

Chapter 187 Life and Difficulties

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Jia Shishi finished explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

When the Supreme Emperor returned triumphantly that year, Concubine Hui had already passed away.Because of the stillbirth, many clan relatives believed that concubine Hui was an ominous person, and they were even unwilling to let her be buried in the concubine's mausoleum.In the end, it was the Supreme Emperor who overcame all opinions, posthumously honored Concubine Hui, and was buried in the concubine's mausoleum.

As for Wan Guiren's nine sons who were born almost at the same time, perhaps the Supreme Emperor thought that he had taken away the luck of his beloved concubine, and he had not liked him very much since his birth.

Wan Gui was not favored at all, but luckily there was such a son by his side, when the ninth son of the emperor became a knight, the Supreme Emperor finally raised her position.

Today's Concubine Wan, her son is filial, and the emperor respects her very much.In the Longshou Palace, I lived alone in a hall, lived in secluded places, and spent every day either worshiping the Buddha or planting flowers and grass, living a very comfortable life.

"Who else knows about this?"

The emperor looked at the brocade and jade pendant on the dragon case, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Mr. Xian Rong know about this? Why didn't you report it to the emperor?"

Jia Shishi tremblingly got up from the chair, knelt down and replied: "Before she died, that nanny begged the minister's wife not to tell the sage about it. Back then, Empress Hui and Concubine Wan were poisoned by a kind of poison. Maybe it was God's mercy, but Lady Hui didn't like the smell of medicine, so she rarely used the birth-preserving pills from the Imperial Hospital, so she desperately gave birth to the prince..."

"So, that stillborn baby actually belonged to Concubine Wanmu." The emperor thought of a possibility, and at the same time became suspicious of what happened in the palace.

He looked at the mother and son kneeling in the hall, and said to Jia She: "Enhou, please sit down and talk, Mrs. Fu Tai."

After Jia Shishi sat down, she continued: "Your Majesty, the Zhen family is very powerful in the palace. Whether it is the poison in the Baotai Pill or the poisoning of Empress Hui when she was about to give birth, they are all just guesses and there is no evidence. With no evidence, how can the sage believe in the words of a servant? What's more, if it is said, what will Concubine Wan do? If she gives birth to a stillborn baby, she will be imprisoned at least, or become a monk at worst. Who will the little prince be handed over to?"

Ugh!
The Supreme Emperor is a passionate and lustful person, and the Zhen family is the most beautiful in the harem. If the Wan family goes away, it will be really difficult for this prince who was born so hard to survive.

There are quite a few brothers in the emperor's generation, and few of them may have survived to adulthood.Especially for those with low birth mother status, the chance of surviving healthy is very small.

The **** once told him that the killing in the first half of his life was excessive, perhaps it was God's punishment for him.Now that I think about it, maybe it was Zhen's fault.

"Mrs. Tai, what you mentioned just now, is the drug that causes stillbirth the same poison that poisoned Concubine Xian?"

"My wife has never seen it before, but according to Mrs. Fengsheng's words, the two are very similar. To tell you the truth, my wife reported this secret matter today because she was worried that the situation between Empress Hui and Empress Xian would happen again. "

Whether Jia Shishi was worried about his granddaughter or was truly compassionate, this matter was not important to the emperor.

After this incident, he thought of the child Yang gave birth to that year, the child who was born lifeless.

Back then, when the Ministry of Household Affairs was checking the deficit, the Zhen family's deficit in Jinling was reported to the emperor by himself, and the Zhen family was neglected for a long time because of this.

Attacking those around you is taking revenge on yourself!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the emperor smashed the inkstone on the table to the ground with a bang.

"Xia Shouzhong, Chuanzong Zhengsi Qing!"

"The emperor calm down!"

"Your Majesty calm down, according to my wife's opinion, this matter should not be rushed. If this matter is made public, what will Concubine Wan do? What will King Zhongshun do?"

Jia Shishi repeatedly persuaded: "Besides, if there is no evidence, even His Majesty has no way to convict the Zhen family and the noble concubine."

The emperor took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.Jia Shishi is right, this matter cannot be made public.

The Taishanghuang's body couldn't bear the stimulation at all due to the stroke nine years ago. If such a scandal broke out, he might have a second stroke.

Moreover, a large group of people are involved behind the Zhen family, and if they are not careful, they will ruin the earlier arrangement.The Zhen family will have to pay the price sooner or later, so there is no rush.

"Mrs. Tai is right, I am impatient."

The emperor sat down again, put the jade pendant and brocade on the table back into the box, and closed it again with a snap.

He raised his head and said to Jia Shishi: "I already know the reason for Mrs. Tai's visit. I will arrange for Xianfei to make sure that my flesh and blood will not be poisoned again. As for Mrs. Zhen, one day, I will meet you." Make them pay."

……

After leaving the palace, Jia She in the carriage let out a long sigh of relief.

"Old lady, my dear mother, what's the use of making such a fuss? As long as the saint is still around, His Majesty can't do anything to Mrs. Zhen..."

Jia Shishi glanced at Jia She, "Didn't you hear what His Majesty said just now?"

"Which sentence?" Jia Amnesty was asked unclearly.

Jia Shishi said: "Your Majesty said that his flesh and blood will not be poisoned again!"

Seeing Jia Amnesty's confused face, Jia Shishi whispered: "When Your Majesty was still in the residence, Mrs. Yang gave birth to a son, and it is said that she died within an hour of birth..."

"Madam Yang?"

Jia She slapped his head: "The old lady is talking about the current imperial concubine?"

"Keep your voice down!" Jia Shishi reminded and explained to Jia Amnesty: "There are some things you don't know. In the past few years, I often went to the palace for banquets. When those concubines were playing tricks, they could always collect I got some true and false news."

Jia Shishi lowered his voice, and said in Jia She's ear: "Today I also have the attitude of giving it a try... That year His Majesty was in charge of the household department, which gave the Zhen family a great embarrassment, and even Concubine Zhen was dismissed by the Supreme Emperor." I was left out in the cold for a long time. But then Yang Niangniang gave birth and died, how could it be such a coincidence? Your Majesty can say that sentence, which proves that I am right!"

……

Xia Shouzhong cleaned up the fragments of the inkstone on the ground, made tea, and sent it to the emperor.

"My lord, drink a cup of tea to calm down, the dragon's body is important!"

The emperor's face is full of sadness, his heirs are difficult, and now there are only two princes.He had been looking forward to Yang's child for ten months, but he never expected...

"The maidservant knows that the emperor feels uncomfortable, but the matter is already like this, the emperor should still look forward. The concubine Xian is pregnant with a dragon son, and it is the time when the emperor is most needed. Instead of feeling sorry for the emperor here, it is better to go to the phoenix Zao Gong walks around, so as to deter those thieves."

Xia Shouzhong is worthy of knowing the emperor, and with a few words, the emperor turned his sentimentality into fighting spirit.

Since it is difficult to deal with the Zhen family for a while, it is better to start with the Zhen family first.Anyway, the Taishanghuang hated the Zhen family now, as long as he didn't move the Zhen family for a while, the Taishanghuang would not blame him.

The emperor stuffed the box to Xia Shouzhong: "Put this thing away first, go tell Yikun Palace, let the imperial concubine visit Wanmu Concubine more... Alas, I only understand now that the piece offered by Wanmu Concubine Who is the nameless jade tablet!"
