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

Chapter 1098 The Intentions Are Sinister (14)
The two imperial physicians looked at each other, with a slightly embarrassed expression, and heard Qingchen's order: "You go down first, I have a few words, I want to say to Wei Ronghua alone."

"Yes, I will leave." They must have been eager for this sentence, they brushed off their sleeves and saluted, then quietly retreated out.

After dismissing the servants in the house, Qingchen walked up to Wei Ronghua and remained silent for a long time. Seeing her despair a little bit, he sneered and said, "Concubine Xian forced you, didn't she? Threatening you with Heng'er, so knowing that I'm going to drink the baby's blood as medicine, let you come forward to testify against me, right?"

Wei Ronghua burst into tears, and wept silently: "Your Majesty, my concubine was ignorant before and offended her, but now my concubine has nothing to ask for, she just wants to live on and watch Heng'er grow up safely. But, I'm afraid the concubine won't survive today? You guessed right, even if she threatens me with Heng'er, what else can I do but obey? I can't even expose her in front of the emperor, because I don't know whether the emperor I will give her a chance to repent, if I miss the blow, wouldn't our mother and child die? So, if I die, and she can treat Heng'er well in the future, then I am willing."

Qingchen calmly and indifferently said slowly: "Yes, Concubine Xian really wants you to die, but she refuses to come forward for this situation, because she is afraid that if I can't bring down this palace, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. , that's why she asked you to come forward. Because if Bengong is safe, she can also use Bengong's hand to get rid of you. You are Heng'er's biological mother, and blood relationship cannot really be replaced by whoever raises the child. She is worried that when Heng'er grows up, she will put you as the biological mother first in everything and ignore her as the adoptive mother, so she can't tolerate you. Even if you are alive, even if you don't do anything, she still feels uncomfortable and uneasy , so she will do anything to force you to submit."

Wei Ronghua sat on the ground mournfully, at this moment all thoughts were lost in his heart, and he said in a daze: "Madam, this concubine understands in her heart, she thinks it would be best if the concubine brings down the empress, if not, the concubine is dead, and the same is true." She is advantageous."

"You can't help yourself, and I know your suffering, so I will definitely not let you die. Only Xianfei can suffer more if you are alive, right? But..." Qingchen changed the topic, and said sharply Looking at Wei Ronghua with his eyes, he said: "If you are willing to listen to me, I can not only save your life, but also ensure that Concubine Xian will not be suspicious of you."

Wei Ronghua couldn't believe his ears, she framed Qingchen time and time again, this time was the best time for her to suppress herself, so how could someone who hates herself let go of this good opportunity to kill her?

But as long as she is still alive and able to look at Heng'er one more time, even if she is allowed to live on, she is willing, "Madam, what do you want my concubine to do? As long as my concubine can do it, I will definitely try my best to do it. Thank you for your kindness."

"Tell the emperor exactly what Concubine Xian is persecuting you today, and you just talk about yourself. I promise that I will not let Concubine Xian suspect you, and will never let anyone hurt Heng'er. Do you trust me?"

Wei Ronghua looked into her deep eyes, and for some reason, there was no reason to trust her at this moment, it was not due to majesty or his own helplessness, but an inexplicable trust that rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was Why, but just trust her.

"If the imperial concubine can get back the concubine's life, as long as it doesn't implicate Heng'er, the concubine is willing to do whatever she wants."

Qingchen curled his lips coldly, and asked: "Are you afraid that the emperor will punish you, and that this palace will not be able to save you, right? Why do you think that my palace's words will be like concubine Xian, and they will not work with the emperor?"

Wei Ronghua hurriedly said: "No empress, the concubine knows the position of empress in the heart of the emperor, so it is not comparable to the concubine Xian, otherwise the empress has not been here for the past two years, and with the concubine Xian's favor, she should have been Concubine."

Qingchen remembers that the emperor once said that if the virtuous concubine does not change her original intention, she will definitely have a place in the concubine position in the future, but the implication is that the concubine position is already the emperor's greatest grace.For the seats of noble concubine and imperial concubine, unless Ye Jiali has made great contributions, he might not be destined to be a good concubine in this life.

But there is no need to tell Wei Ronghua these personal words, so he just asked lightly: "Then should you say it or not?"

Wei Ronghua asked eagerly: "Mother, if the concubine says so, how will the emperor send Xianfei? Will he take away the title and demote, or will he give Heng'er to others to raise?"

Qingchen shook his head lightly, and said as if he had expected the result: "This time we can't take down Concubine Xian. Although she gave this prescription to Ben Gong, after all, she has never used it herself. She can say that she is In a moment of confusion, if it was just because of this that I helped Bengong to have a child, the emperor would not blame her severely. Besides, even if you testify against her face to face, with Concubine Xian's current state of mind, you think she will wait for you unprepared Betrayed her? Maybe she has already thought up her words, waiting for you to fall into her trap."

Hearing what she said, Wei Ronghua became even more confused, and asked anxiously: "Mother, then shall we..."

"What I can do is to save your life, and then let the emperor no longer trust her. Things have to be done little by little. Even if she goes too far, the emperor will never be able to because of the kindness of the past. Immediately ordered her to be bestowed to death. I am not a god, and I can't do it because of one thing, let the emperor immediately bestow the death of Concubine Xian. It is up to you, I will not force you, you should think about it. "

Hearing the cry of a baby coming from the yard, Qingchen turned around and walked outside, probably the mother and son that Jinxiu brought into the palace came to testify.

After leaving the Nuan Pavilion and raising the gauze curtain of the main hall, Qingchen saw the emperor standing on the porch, and asked the woman kneeling on the steps holding the child, "Are you the one brought into the palace by Jinxiu who is beside the imperial concubine? "

The woman didn't dare to raise her head while holding the child, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, it is the commoner's wife. Before the girl Jinxiu who was next to the imperial concubine was out of the palace, she happened to meet the commoner's mother and child, and the commoner's child could not be healed because of illness. , there is no other way, our family can only give up. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine has a bodhisattva heart, and she actually agreed to let the women and children into the palace for treatment. , Even ordinary people like us are willing to lend a helping hand, the whole family of the women is grateful, thank you for your kindness, thank you Your Majesty."

Xiao Jun looked at the lively and active child in her arms, who was only a few months old, with a fair face and big bright eyes, who seemed to be full of curiosity about everything, and kept tilting her head to look at new things.
