The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1003 Birthday (59)
The emperor said angrily: "Grandmother, do you now believe that the imperial concubine is being plotted against? Such a big hand, dare to use the life of a noble from the fourth rank to frame the imperial concubine, who else has such great ability except her?" ?”

"Do you have evidence? Don't talk nonsense without evidence!" The Empress Dowager said a little displeased: "As an emperor, you must have a fair heart at all times. You really disappointed the emperor's grandmother. Say who you suspect, even if you have full evidence, what can you do now?"

"I want..."

"You nonsense!" The empress dowager yelled at the emperor who got up angrily, "isn't that messy enough? Let alone the queen, just talk about yourself. As the emperor, you dare to say that this imperial concubine is selfless Heart? It was you who made the queen feel threatened, so she would do anything, isn't it your responsibility?"

The emperor said angrily with a livid face: "It's a fact that the queen has no virtue, I don't want to tolerate it anymore."

"I've been here for so long, can't I bear it these few days?" The empress dowager ignored the emperor's anger, and told Fu Guang, "Go ahead and ignore him."

"Yes, old ancestor." Fu Guang saw that the emperor's face was ugly, so he spoke more cautiously, and said in a low voice: "After Sang Guirong died, His Royal Highness probably passed by and heard the imperial concubine's call for help, so he went up to help. The imperial concubine did not leave any footprints down the mountain, she was probably carried down by Xiao Luzi."

Xiao Jue replied: "Master Fu is right. At that time, the imperial concubine was frightened and couldn't walk anymore. That's why I asked Xiao Luzi to carry her down."

"That's why His Highness stopped the Empress, pleaded guilty, and took all the charges for the Imperial Concubine. Your Highness did it out of good intentions, because the Imperial Concubine must have been not very sober at that time. She had a hard time explaining, and let the Empress do it on the spot. If you catch her, then you don’t need to ask the minister to find out the truth. At that time, everyone will think that the imperial concubine and Sang Guirong had a conflict and killed her. In this way, the imperial concubine can’t escape the blame, and the emperor will also It's getting more and more embarrassing, isn't it?" Fu Guang didn't dare to say anything else, he could only try his best to express Xiao Jue's last resort in a considerate tone.

Xiao Jue was very grateful that his words saved him a lot of embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Master Fu said that the situation was critical at the time, and he couldn't take care of so much. My intuition told me that things were not as simple as I saw, so if I bear the charges, and the emperor will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, so that at least there will be a buffer time to rescue the imperial concubine."

Fu Guang nodded and didn't say another word. Seeing the ancestor's knowing expression, he snorted softly, but the emperor kept his face sullen and didn't speak for a long time.

Qingchen carefully looked at the emperor sitting above him, knowing in his heart that he didn't actually believe Fu Guang's words, he just said this to make everyone look good.

Such an awkward silence made her feel even more embarrassed, and she couldn't help but feel a little restless. Fu Guang probably saw her discomfort, hesitated for a moment, then broke the awkward silence, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, Qiu He The minister has already investigated the case, and her death was not caused by the imperial concubine."

The emperor said indifferently: "I already knew this, the imperial concubine would not be so cruel, you just say what you found."

"Yes, I obey." Fu Guang thought for a while, cleared his mind, and said, "I checked the cause of Qiu He's death, and the people in Wei Ronghua Palace said she died by hanging herself, but the emperor wanted to Thinking about how a person with a knee injury and a disability hung the white silk on the beam, this is clearly lying. Moreover, there are two strangle marks on Qiu He's neck, it is obvious that he was strangled to death and hung on the beam Yes. From this point of view, Qiu He's death was a conspiracy. If I guessed correctly, Qiu He must have bumped into the imperial concubine on purpose. Qiu He will inevitably have acts of disrespect. The imperial concubine was made to kneel when she was angry, and this happened to be a trap for others. Qiu He's purpose was to anger the imperial concubine. She might think that this was just a It's a bitter trick, but I didn't expect that I would really lose my life because of it."

After listening to Fu Guang's words, the Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed heavily: "This Wei Ronghua really doesn't know what to do. I thought she was ignorant, but I didn't expect her thoughts to be so vicious. It's up to you. Such a person can raise any good children, and when she gives birth to an imperial heir, the emperor still needs to find a good mother for the child."

The empress dowager said so, that is to say, the emperor is not allowed to pursue this matter any more. After all, there are few heirs in the harem, and the ancestors are only worried about the prince in her belly.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, the empress dowager did not ask the emperor, but turned to Qingchen and asked, "What do you think?"

Qingchen smiled helplessly, and understood what the old ancestor meant. He wanted to help persuade the emperor himself, so he nodded quickly and said: "What the old ancestor said is that the emperor's heir is innocent, and the emperor is looking at the child in her belly. Compete with her."

It's not that she doesn't feel wronged, but the empress dowager is firm, what else can she do except agree?

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he grabbed the teacup in his hand and slammed it to the ground. He couldn't express the pent-up anger in his heart, but his face turned blue, he was panting heavily, and his chest heaved violently.If anyone accidentally said a wrong sentence at this time, maybe the emperor would really chop him with a sword.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the broken teacup on the ground, and ordered: "Master Fu, go down first, you have worked hard today. It's just that these things will rot in your stomach after leaving the Yongshou Palace."

Fu Guang hurriedly got up and said: "My ancestor's words, I will keep it in my heart, I will never reveal a word, my ancestor and the emperor can rest assured."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and Fu Guang bowed respectfully and retreated.

Seeing the emperor holding his breath, the empress dowager asked displeasedly: "What are you doing? Isn't Wei Ronghua pregnant with your child? Even if you don't like it, I won't let you do what you shouldn't do." What you do, even this girl is so knowledgeable that she can roughly bear it. Why can't you bear it? Is your heart not as good as a woman? The emperor's grandmother told you clearly that no matter what happens to the Wei family, this child must be tolerated by the emperor's grandmother. of!"

The emperor said angrily with a gloomy face: "Grandmother, you just saw that Chen'er is gentle and easy to bully. I don't care for Wei Ronghua's child at all. I wish I could kill her right now!"

The Empress Dowager said coldly: "Your concubine, when she gives birth to an imperial heir, you can do whatever you want. The ancestors will not interfere at that time, but not now. First, it's not the time. Second, you can see for yourself. What does it look like, after three years on the throne, there are only two princes in the harem, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Xiao family?"
