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

Chapter 605 Conspiracy to seize the emperor's heir (6)
Seeing what the emperor said, Xiao Jieyu felt even more uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't believe Leng Zhaoyi's words at all, but it was because she believed that it made her feel even more tormented. It was obviously not her child, and she treated it as her own. Come to raise, is this not going to return the child to her?No wonder she looks very unhappy every time she visits the child by herself.

But if Leng Zhaoyi treats the child badly, wouldn't she be more worried?So Xiao Jieyu felt contradictory and uncomfortable. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak out. She was afraid that Zhaoyi's carelessness would harm the child in the future. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to stand Aside crying sadly.

Seeing her crying pitifully, Qingchen couldn't bear it, so he said softly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Qi'er needs someone to take care of her acne, why don't you let Xiao Jieyu and Leng Zhaoyi take care of the child together from tomorrow? One more person It's always good to take care of her, besides, if she doesn't stay by Qi'er's side, Xiao Jieyu will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, the emperor must also be considerate of her love for her son."

As soon as Qing Chen opened her mouth, Xiao Jieyu looked at the emperor expectantly. Xiao Jun originally had the same meaning, but she was afraid that Leng Zhaoyi would be overwhelmed, so she hesitated to say it. It would be best if someone brought it up now. Then he nodded and said: "That's fine, you can replace each other, so you won't tire yourself out. Xiao Jieyu needs to control her emotions more, Qi'er is also my flesh and blood, and I love him no less than you. What if you fell down first before he recovered?"

Fearing that the emperor would repent, Xiao Jieyu wiped away the tears on her face with her sadness and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine has lost her temper, Qi'er was brought to sister Leng's side as soon as she was born, and the concubine rarely does her best for him. She has done her best to be a mother, and now that he is ill, the emperor has graciously cared for my concubine here, and this concubine is very grateful, and will definitely take care of the child with all her heart, and this concubine will also take care of herself, please rest assured."

Xiao Jun nodded, and listened to the queen's order: "Leng Zhaoyi, don't forget to enshrine the pox queen, and the nanny's diet should be light during this time, and fried food is definitely not allowed. Things, I will take a bath and fast tomorrow to stay in the Buddhist hall to pray for the Empress Dowager and the First Prince, you two should calm down so that you can take better care of the First Prince."

Leng Zhaoyi and Xiao Jieyu hurriedly said, "Yes, the concubine knows."

Concubine Li saw that her words didn't have any effect, but instead aroused everyone's disgust, she also said embarrassingly: "Empress Empress, my concubine will go to the Buddhist hall with you to fast tomorrow, and after seven days, let Concubine Ning and Concubine Chen take turns Go and pray."

Folk children have chickenpox, in addition to worshiping the pox empress at home, they should also avoid frying and eating raw or cold food, and couples cannot have sex during this period.Since the emperor wants to fast and pray for the empress dowager and the eldest prince tomorrow, naturally he will not recruit concubines to sleep with him during this period of time. When the eldest prince is almost recovered, let the concubine Chen go to eat fast and chant Buddha. Let her share less of the emperor's favor.

The queen didn't think too much about it, and immediately agreed, "Alright, then you can go with me."

The imperial physician who just went to check the eldest prince's belongings was already waiting at the side, and because the empress was speaking, he didn't dare to intervene. Seeing the emperor looking over, he hurriedly walked up to the crowd, bowed and said, "Your majesty, my humble ministers!" I have carefully checked all the things used by the eldest prince. The nanny said that there was a bellyband that was not worn by the eldest prince every day. The minister found that the bellyband was worn by a child who had chickenpox, and it was mixed in the wardrobe of the eldest prince. Contaminated the First Prince's clothes, which made the First Prince infected with chickenpox."

Xiao Jun was furious when she heard it, and looked at the moon-white cotton embroidered hibiscus flower apron presented by Lou Jing, and at a glance, she could tell that it was not something used by the royal family, or even silk used by rich people, probably I got it from some common people's house.It was not an accident that the eldest prince contracted pox, but someone deliberately murdered him.

The faces of everyone present changed greatly, Xiao Jieyu couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears, knelt on the ground and pulled Xiao Jun's dragon robe and cried: "Your Majesty, I am childish and innocent, and this concubine asks herself that she doesn't have any deep hatred with anyone." So much so that she wanted to kill the concubine's child to take revenge on the concubine. The emperor wanted to make the decision for Qi'er. He was only a few months old, but he had to suffer like this. The person who harmed him was so vicious. How could she do anything to an infant child!"

Xiao Jun was disturbed by her crying, but because she was the beloved son, she couldn't bear to punish her, so she had to help her up with her own hands and comforted her: "I have just said that Qi'er is also my child, and I love him dearly." No less than you, if something like this happens, I will definitely make the decision for him, if I dare to murder the emperor's heir, I will dare to kill his nine clans!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone's faces became stiff again. It seems that the emperor is really angry, otherwise he would not have said such cruel words. Think about it too. How can parents see someone plotting against their children like this? not angry?
Leng Zhaoyi also knelt with some shame at this time: "Your Majesty, it's all the concubines who are not good. The concubines are afraid that there will be problems with the nanny's breasts, so they only focus on the nanny's food, but ignore other things. Please punish the concubines. Bar."

In fact, it is not that Leng Zhaoyi has never thought that someone would harm the eldest prince, and the most likely way to attack a child whom she personally takes care of every day is to attack the wet nurse, so Leng Zhaoyi is very strict with the wet nurse's diet , All the imported things are carefully inspected and inspected to ensure that there are no problems before they can be imported, and the wet nurse can no longer eat anything except three meals a day.She thought that there would be no chance for people to take advantage of it, but who would have thought that someone would use such a method to harm the First Prince, which was something she never thought of.

Xiao Jun didn't mean to blame her, but only raised her hand to signal her to stand up and speak, "If you intend to do harm, you will always be hard to guard against, and it can't be all your fault."

The emperor ordered: "Take all the slaves who serve the eldest prince to the Department of Punishment and torture them. If someone dies before no one confesses, let the head of the Department of Punishment come to see you."

This time Xiao Jun didn't even have the patience to ask Concubine Ning to interrogate, so she sent everyone to the Punishment Department.

Seeing that someone was going to take away the two nurses in the house, Leng Zhaoyi quickly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say to the emperor." Then she turned around and said to Xiao Jun, "Your Majesty, you want to interrogate and serve me. The courtiers around the eldest prince, the concubine did not object, but the concubine wanted to say something for the two nannies. Since the two of them served the eldest prince, they have always been accompanied by the concubine's maid. They have never They have been out of the palace, and have never had contact with outsiders, so the concubines can trust them."
