The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 441 Suicide (1)
Yongshou Palace was so quiet that even the sound of a hair falling to the ground could be heard.

The little emperor was standing outside the high threshold, Zhao Jing stretched out her hand to call him, but he brushed it away coldly.The young man's gloomy voice rang in his ears: "Mrs. Wu'anhou is pregnant, please send her back home."

"Emperor!" Empress Dowager Wei shouted sharply, stood up from the ground and said, "She is going to kill you! How could you let her go? You are the king of a country, how can you be kind to a woman!"

Zhou Xu turned around suddenly, looked at Empress Dowager Wei with serious eyes, and said, "Since mother knows that I am the king of a country, she should know that you are not joking!" He turned his head coldly, and told the little eunuch outside the palace Said: "Send Mrs. Wu'an Hou back to the house!"

A court lady came in and helped Zhao Jing up, she felt so weak that she didn't even have the strength to move her legs.Zhao Jing turned her head to look at Zhou Xu, and finally lowered her eyes, allowing everyone to help her out of the palace gate.

There was the sound of more drums outside the hall, mixed with the sound of wind outside the door, which made the curtains in the entire hall rattle.Empress Dowager Wei stood up and pointed at Zhou Xu, "You...you..." She was so angry that she was shaking, "Do you know who she is? She's going to kill you!"

"So what, isn't I still standing here well?" Zhou Xu turned his head, his slightly red and swollen eyes shone with a cold light: "No wonder the emperor said that the queen mother doesn't like Aunt Jing, so it's because of this."

"My lord, he rebelled! You still told Aijia what he was doing!" Queen Mother Wei growled angrily, "Why did you let Zhao Jing go and take her to threaten your good uncle? I can let you go!"

Empress Dowager Wei tore Zhou Xu's clothes desperately, looked at him helplessly, and cried bitterly: "Do you know how much I sacrificed for your throne!" She burst into tears, her voice piercing Towering roof.

"Can the queen mother also tell me that when the emperor's uncle forced the palace and failed, what made him give up the throne that he could easily get to support me, a young emperor?" Zhou Xu lowered his head, looked at the close Crazy Queen Mother Wei, she has lost her usual dignified and noble appearance, just like a shrew.

Empress Dowager Wei backed away abruptly, bumped into the tea table behind her, swept the tea cups all over the table, stared blankly for a long time before lowering her eyes and said: "The Ai family has nothing to say."

The night was dark, and the main gate of Shenwumen had already been locked.

Fu Manduo sent Zhao Jing to the gate, and the guards guarding the gate saw the badge and opened the city gate a crack.Zhao Jing took two steps outside, turned her head and asked Fu Manduo, "Didn't the Emperor fall asleep? Why did you go to Yongshou Palace again?"

"The emperor was afraid that aunt would be worried, so he pretended to be asleep. Later, he got up when he heard that aunt had been passed on to Yongshou Palace by the queen mother." Zhao Jing was moved when she heard this. Zhou Xu is now her nephew. , How can she rest assured of him.It's a pity he didn't know it.

Zhao Jing nodded, and took two steps outside, Fu Manduo followed her, seeing her in a trance, couldn't help supporting her and said: "Auntie, go back to rest earlier, Master Hou is afraid tonight I can't go back home."

The three auxiliary ministers were discussing the matter of the Southern Expedition in the Ministry of War. Zhou Yi was not there, and Xu Si'an was the commander-in-chief of the entire capital force, so naturally he couldn't leave the meeting.She wasn't worried about him, but she felt that the two of them were close friends, but now they were going to fight each other, which made people sigh a bit after thinking about it.

The carriage had been waiting outside the door for a long time, when the maids saw Zhao Jing coming out, they rushed to greet her.

"Mrs."

Seeing that Zhao Jing's expression was not good, Lu Wu hurriedly supported her.Zhao Jing stiffened and moved two steps forward, only to hear the sound of horseshoes not far away, and several soldiers rode over.When he got to the door, he got off his horse and said to the guard guarding the door: "Open the door quickly, a side concubine of the palace has hanged herself!"

After Zhao Jing heard this, she froze her steps, and couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Which side concubine of the palace hanged herself?"

The man took a look at Zhao Jing, felt vaguely familiar, and then said, "It's a side concubine named Gong in the house."

After all, Zhao Jing was helped into the carriage, and Lu Wu went to the Regent's Palace once with her, and also met Concubine Gong twice from a distance.Seeing that Zhao Jing was so sad, she persuaded her: "Madam, don't be sad. If the prince rebelled, if the side concubine is arrested, she probably won't be able to escape."

Zhao Jing naturally understood this truth in her heart, and besides, any of these side concubines did not have a mother behind them, if they were involved with the regent, they would most likely be implicated.Maybe someone who hanged herself like Concubine Gong could be punished lightly and avoid being implicated.She vaguely remembered that when Chunxiu entered the Prince Regent's mansion that day, Mrs. Gong took her hand and introduced to her, saying that the slim young girl was her natal niece.

Now that she has reached this point, she has not forgotten to keep her natal family's power.
