Prosperous advisors

Chapter 385 Qingyi returns to Beijing (3)
"This concubine wants to enter the palace, the father and the queen mother are the ones to decide!" Said Wangfei turned around and wanted to enter the palace.Zhi Wang's son hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Mother and concubine, could it be that the emperor's grandmother can't think of this? We have no evidence at all now, and even if the trouble is brought to the emperor's grandfather, he will never believe it. What's more...Father the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Nangong family. It is more important than the royal grandmother's family."

"Then what should we do? Could it be that your father died in vain?" Princess Zhi fell into a chair, covering her face and crying.

"There will always be a way, mother and concubine, don't worry, the child will definitely avenge the father." Prince Zhi looked at the empty mourning hall in front of him and murmured.

At this time, the palace was also in chaos. The queen fainted on the spot when she heard the news of King Zhi's death. After waking up, she rushed directly to the bedroom of Rongxuan's mother and concubine Nangongshi Defei without even having time to tidy up her appearance.Before entering the door, she shouted sharply: "Nangongxian, pay back my emperor's life!"

The maids and eunuchs in Defei's palace didn't dare to stop the angry queen, so they had to let the queen rush all the way into Defei's bedroom.

Concubine De is now nearly sixty years old, which can be considered an advanced age in the harem.It's just that she was beautiful when she was young, and she was in good health after she was born as a general, but now she looks like she is only in her early forties.Her gestures are a little more grand than ordinary concubines in the palace.

Hearing the queen's voice, Concubine De also stood up and looked at the queen who rushed in angrily from outside, frowning: "What's wrong with the empress?"

"Nangongxian, don't pretend! Rong Xuan killed the emperor's son, and you will pay my life back!" The only son died suddenly, and the queen collapsed almost immediately.Of course, the dignified demeanor that was maintained in the past has long since disappeared.Just waking up from a lethargic sleep, his disheveled appearance looks a little more old-fashioned.

Concubine De's complexion changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "The concubine is also very sad about the death of the king, but Xuan'er was also seriously injured. It is too much for the empress to push this matter on Xuan'er." Murder the prince What kind of crime is it to kill an elder brother? It is enough to ruin one's own son. Naturally, Concubine De can't let the queen put this crime on Rong Xuan.

The queen's eyes were red, and she scolded sharply: "The emperor went out with King Zhuang, but only King Zhuang and a few people around him survived. Do you think I'm a fool? My son pays for his life!"

Concubine De gritted her teeth and said: "That's the people around Xuan'er desperately protecting the lord! Does the Empress mean that Xuan'er should die in Pengcheng with the First Prince? Xuan'er managed to escape from death, and the Empress cursed him like that ... I want to seek justice with His Majesty!" Of course she was happy that Rong Huang died, but Concubine De was not an ignorant woman, so she naturally knew that even if her son was innocent, it would be difficult for her to clean up. Get rid of the relationship, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for others in the end.In my heart, I don't even believe that Rong Xuan would attack Rong Huang so stupidly.

"Okay! Let's go to His Majesty and make it clear!" The queen said loudly.

"Your Majesty is here!" Just as he was speaking, the voice of Emperor Luanjia's arrival was heard outside the door.Apparently, Emperor Xiyue came over immediately when he heard that the queen had rushed into the Palace of Concubine De.The queen gave Concubine De a bitter look, turned around and went outside to meet her.

Emperor Hua strode in, glanced at the empress and concubine De who had the same ugly faces, and said in a cold tone: "What are you doing?"

The Queen and Concubine De couldn't help feeling depressed.Although they have already passed the age of fighting for grace, no woman can calm down as long as she thinks that her husband has never had a moment of tenderness for her for decades.The concubines who have only come up these years can be said, after all, Emperor Xiyue is also old, but the queen and Concubine De can be said to have accompanied Emperor Xiyue from the very beginning.

When they were young, the two women fought to the death, but Emperor Xiyue never had the slightest preference for any of them, and even the children were one for each of them, and there were no more.Originally, it was only when the emperor was naturally cold-blooded and ruthless, and then 20 years later, when he was already old, he saw that the emperor cared for another woman so tenderly, how could he not hate it?
"Welcome Your Majesty." Concubine De collected her thoughts and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to make decisions for the emperor!" The queen knelt down in front of Emperor Xiyue, weeping mournfully.

Emperor Xiyue frowned and said, "What are you doing? King Zhi passed away and you are not in the palace to take care of affairs. What are you doing here with Concubine De?"

The queen's face turned pale, and she said sharply, "Your Majesty! Obviously it was Rong Xuan who killed our emperor."

"There is absolutely no such thing, please Your Majesty to investigate!" Concubine De hurriedly took a step forward and knelt down in front of Emperor Xiyue.

Looking at the two women kneeling in front of him, Emperor Xiyue frowned displeasedly and said, "That's enough! King Zhi and King Zhuang haven't come back yet. What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I will send someone to investigate this matter! to your palace."

The queen's face became even more difficult to look at. Seeing Concubine De's implicitly smug eyes, she believed in her heart that His Majesty was favoring Concubine De's mother and son, and shouted without reading: "No! Your Majesty...the emperor's son is also your son, you Why are you so cruel? Do you really want to watch him die without regret?"

Emperor Xiyue impatiently raised his hand and rubbed his brows. This time he photographed the two princes Rong Huang and Rong Xuan to go to Pengcheng, which shows that Emperor Xiyue attaches great importance to Jiuxiao Xianzhi.Now, Jiuxiao Xianzhi is gone, and the two princes are still dead and one injured, which makes Emperor Xiyue feel very bad.However, the queen was still nagging and crying in his ear, which made Emperor Xiyue even more depressed, "Enough! What I said won't work anymore, will it?"

The Empress's mournful cry was choked for a moment, and Emperor Xiyue glanced at the two of them coldly and said: "I will deal with the matter of King Zhi and King Zhuang, and the Empress will go back to her own palace immediately, and Concubine De will also be dealt with." I will stay in the palace well!"

Concubine De's face froze, knowing that His Majesty was warning her not to contact the Nangong family.Obviously, regarding Rong Huang's death, Emperor Xiyue did not completely trust Rong Xuan.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The concubine obeys the order." Concubine De said quickly.

Looking at the unkind eyes of Emperor Xiyue, the queen could only swallow the resentment in her heart, and said quietly: "The concubine obeys the order."

Emperor Xiyue snorted softly and walked away.

Out of Concubine De's palace, Emperor Xiyue strolled among the resplendent palace halls, sighed and frowned after a long while and said, "Is King Zhi 48 years old this year?"

Jiang Bin, the chief eunuch who was following behind him, was taken aback. He came back to his senses and quickly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty...His Royal Highness Zhi Wang was born in the twelfth lunar month, and he will be 48 years old in just over a month."

"You said...does this have anything to do with King Zhuang?"

Jiang Bin buried his head even lower, and said tremblingly, "This... I don't know."
