The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 92

Chu Xue turned around and walked out after leaving her words, completely ignoring the angry queen Xu Jinhe behind her.

But Concubine Li, who was still in the palace, could see clearly that the anger in the empress' eyes could swallow a person alive at that moment.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Li didn't want to stay for long, so she also bowed and left in a hurry.

The hall fell silent, Xu Jinhe was still immersed in rage, Qiugui and Dingxiang waited cautiously aside.

The two loyal servants wanted to say something to comfort their master, but they couldn't think of suitable words. They also felt that today's Concubine Yi was too much, to expose the pain of the master in front of everyone like that.You know, at that time, Nanny Li died on the way back to her hometown shortly after being sent out of the palace. As the wet nurse who raised the master since she was a child, the master must have found it difficult to accept it.

But just now, Concubine Yi Gui dared to take this matter to protest against her master, it was impossible for anyone not to get angry.

Both of them were grievances against the master, and suddenly they heard the master say, "This woman must not stay, you must do it!"

"Yes."

The two answered in unison.

That night, Yufu Palace received the news that the Queen was ill.The palace servants from Fengyi Palace reported that the Queen had suddenly contracted a cold and needed to recuperate for a few days, so there was no need to go to Fengyi Palace to invite her recently.As soon as the visitor left and closed the palace door, Chu Xue called the two maids to her side.

"She's going to do it," she said.

Hearing that the queen was ill, the two girls could guess that they were inseparable. They were fine when they were invited this morning, but they caught a cold in the evening. The illness came too quickly. Besides, she always kept herself out of things. There must be something strange about the next illness.Besides, Chu Xue has already made her so angry today, if she could bear it, she would not be a queen anymore.

The two nodded, and Chu Xue ordered: "Yan Ling, go to the Supervisor of Rituals tonight, please be sure to keep an eye on Chief Qiu. Ruyue, ask your brother to prepare the medicine, it will come in handy anytime these two days. Also, no matter How do you have to look after Le'er."

The two girls responded, and then went to work on their own duties.

After lying on the couch, Chu Xue stroked her lower abdomen, and softly said to the little life that had only been here for more than 60 days: "Don't blame mother, if you are destined to come back to mother's belly, mother will definitely give birth to you well, and it will hurt you so much." you."

The night was dark, and the tent was so quiet that the sound of tears falling could be heard.

Although she also received the order not to invite early, but the next day, Concubine Li went to Fengyi Palace to visit the "sick" queen.

Anticipating that she would come, even though Xu Jinhe was not sick, he deliberately put on a weak look, leaned on the couch, and said to her: "Thank you for thinking about me, at this time, you can see the warmth and warmth of human relationships!"

Concubine Li naturally understood the meaning behind her words, and hurriedly echoed: "The empress is serious, this is what a concubine should do, besides, if it wasn't for the concubine yesterday, you wouldn't be angry with Concubine Yi... Glancing at Xu Jinhe's expression, Concubine Li continued: "You have seen the scene yesterday. Concubine Yi Gui is too arrogant, and she is so rude to you. The empress can imagine how she bullied her concubines on weekdays." gone."

After saying that, I will wipe away my tears.

Xu Jinhe sighed, and said: "How could this palace not know? Long before you entered the palace, she had already acted like this, but it was only because the emperor doted on her that this palace has always tolerated her. You have also seen that, she She only gave birth to a princess and was promoted to the imperial concubine, if according to the previous favor, she gave birth to a prince in the future, I really don't know how the emperor will reward her, I am afraid that even I, the empress, will depend on her face!"

As soon as the subject changed, she said earnestly to Concubine Li: "Fortunately, I have you now. When the emperor returns from the northern border, you should work harder and strive to give birth to a prince as soon as possible. This palace will certainly ask the emperor to promote you to the position of noble concubine. With you by my side at that time, I can always suppress her spirit."

Li Fei felt itchy in her heart.

What the queen described was indeed a beautiful prospect. When she gave birth to a prince, as a princess, she could afford to be a noble concubine. What Chu Xue has now, she will have all of them in the future...

Concubine Li was immersed in her longing for the future, when she suddenly saw Qiu Gui rushing in from outside the hall, her expression panicked, and she hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Concubine Li just wanted to get up and evade, but Xu Jinhe said: "It's okay, you are one of your own, so you don't need to evade." Then she told Qiu Gui, "Just tell me if you have anything, Concubine Li can trust you."

Qiu Gui sighed, and said: "Go back to Empress Empress and Concubine Li, this servant has just learned from the imperial hospital that Concubine Yi is pregnant again!"

"What?" Xu Jinhe cried out in surprise, and then looked at Concubine Li, who was even more astonished.

"Is the news reliable?" Xu Jinhe asked.

Qiu Gui nodded, "It's what the medical girl from Tai Hospital said, so there should be nothing wrong."

"How could she be pregnant?" Concubine Li recovered from her astonishment, and asked Xu Jinhe anxiously, "The emperor has not talked to her for a long time, and the emperor has never even touched his concubines, how could she be pregnant?"

"That's right, that's what my sister said," Xu Jinhe seemed to have been reminded, and hurriedly asked, "Did you ask me, how long has she been pregnant?"

Qiu Gui pretended to look around, and said softly: "The servant girl made a lot of effort to get the medical girl next to the imperial doctor of Yufu Palace to tell the truth. The medical girl said that Concubine Yi's pulse is still weak, it seems that it has only been a month. "

"One month?" Fearing that Concubine Li would not understand, Xu Jinhe guided: "That's not right! The emperor has been away from the palace for more than two months, but she is only one month pregnant?" Xu Jinhe suddenly became shocked and said: "So Come on, isn't this child the emperor's? Concubine Yigui, did she do such a scandal?"

Concubine Li thought about following Xu Jinhe's words, and suddenly understood, she looked at Xu Jinhe in surprise and said, "Empress, what should I do?"

Xu Jinhe frowned as if thinking, and said: "The emperor is marching and fighting on the front line. He loved Concubine Yi so much in the past. If he knew that Concubine Yi had done something wrong to him, he would be sad and angry. It might affect the military situation. We can't tell him for the time being. Seeing Concubine Li agreeing and nodding, she said again: "The Empress Dowager is praying for the Emperor outside the palace at this time, of course such a big event should be reported to her old man, but it may not be appropriate to send the news to Jingtian Temple rashly at this time, it is better to wait It will not be too late to report after she returns to the palace..."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi Gui has made a big mistake, she must not be forgiven lightly!" Qiu Gui hastily remonstrated.

"Yes, empress! You are the empress, you have the right to deal with her. If such a scandal is spread, the world will be in an uproar. Empress should make a decision early!" Concubine Li also anxiously echoed.

She will not let go of such a difficult opportunity for revenge!
"What my sister said is true." Xu Jinhe nodded with frowned eyebrows, then coughed a few more times, pretending to be sad and weak, and said: "This matter must not be publicized, it must be resolved as soon as possible, and the world must not let the people look at the royal family. It's a joke..." But she sighed again: "But I am sick and unable to get up, what should I do?"

"The concubine is willing to share the worries for the empress!" Concubine Li hurriedly recommended herself, "As long as the empress orders, the concubine will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so."

Finally let her say this, the scheme became normal, Xu Jinhe nodded and said: "Sure enough, you are reliable! How about this, the evil in Concubine Yi's stomach must not stay, I will give her a pair of abortion medicine first, and put the evil Hit him, temporarily imprison him in the palace, and wait for the Queen Mother to return to the palace to deal with him."

Originally she wanted her to die, but the queen only ordered an abortion. This decree was far from what Concubine Li had hoped for, but after Chu Xue did such a scandal, I believe that even if Song Chen came back, she would not be saved from death. Adultery is a serious crime , revenge is only a matter of time.

After thinking about this, Concubine Li hurriedly got up and said: "I respect the imperial edict of the empress, empress, please rest at ease, and my concubine will definitely relieve your worries."

"That's good," Xu Jinhe nodded in satisfaction, thought for a while, and said, "You go back first, don't let the wind out, and I will ask Qiugui to fetch the side soup and send it to you. You order someone to boil it and take it yourself Yufu Palace, remember, you must watch her drink it with your own eyes!"

"Yes." Concubine Li nodded, but she remembered a tricky matter, and hurriedly asked: "But the concubine will go like this, if she doesn't follow, what should I do? After all, she is still a noble concubine..."

"After doing such scandalous things, she can no longer bear the position of noble concubine." Xu Jinhe relieved her worries and said, "Don't worry, I will send a few more people to go with you tonight."

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

Concubine Li bows out and leaves.

With the queen's guarantee, Concubine Li no longer has any worries, and she wished she could rush to Chu Xue to pour medicine right now, to see how she looked like she was dying.

At dusk, Qiugui really sent a decoction. When the night fell and the medicine was decocted, Concubine Li took people to Yufu Palace.

It's just that someone was one step ahead of her, and when they saw her coming out, they quietly sent a message first.

After receiving the news, Chu Xue stroked her lower abdomen for the last time, closed her eyes for a while, and finally picked up the medicine on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside Yufu Palace, and Concubine Li led someone in.

Chu Xue in the palace was dressed in plain clothes, with no ornaments on her black hair, only a solid white jade hairpin, she looked extremely pure and elegant, yet beautiful and flawless.Seeing her like this, Concubine Li was a little surprised, but after the accident, she became even more angry. This woman sat down and waited for such a scandal, but now she pretends to be clean, who is she trying to deceive?
Seeing Concubine Li's angry and provocative look, Chu Xue said unhurriedly: "It seems that the palace people don't have a long memory, why don't they remember to remind you of the palace rules? You are a concubine, so you come to break into the palace's bedroom like this , isn’t it too bold and reckless?”

Looking at Chu Xue who was still sitting firmly on the couch, Concubine Li was so angry that she snorted contemptuously: "It's better for me to act recklessly than some people are shameless! As a noble concubine, you dare to take advantage of it Your majesty doesn't steal people in the palace, and you are still in the dark, what qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Then he beckoned to Luxuan behind him to bring the soup, and said coldly: "By the empress' order, I will personally get rid of the evil son in your belly today!"

Following Li Concubine's words, Luxuan took the medicine and took a few steps forward, the provocative and eager expression on her face was exactly the same as her master's.

But after Chu Xue heard their words, she didn't show any fear, but became calmer.Her eyes calmly glanced at the decoction in Luxuan's hand, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said, "Who told you that Ben Gong stole people? Do you have evidence for your nonsense? Ben Gong is indeed pregnant, but it is absolutely true in her belly. The emperor's flesh and blood, didn't the eunuchs tell you that the emperor spent the eve of his expedition here in this palace?"

Seeing Concubine Li's expression froze, she opened her eyes and shouted angrily: "You, you are talking nonsense!"

"I never talk nonsense!" Chu Xue continued to look at her with a sneer, and further said: "Every word and deed of the emperor is recorded in the golden book of the inner court. I have been to this palace, and I have a good relationship with this palace!"

Concubine Li was even more frightened and angry, but Chu Xue wanted to continue hitting her. Chu Xue said: "Oh, I forgot, you are not qualified to read the "Notes on the Living of the King" by the Inspector of the Inner Court. Also, did no one tell you, Is the empress's intentions not going to work here in this palace?"

At the end of the speech, her voice suddenly became harsher, showing her anger, Concubine Li felt that the situation in front of her was far from what she had expected, and she was a little at a loss.

While in a daze, Lu Xuan, who was serving the medicine, persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. The Empress Dowager's mother loves the world, and her will will work everywhere. Concubine Yi's like this is just a bluff, you Let’s get to work quickly!”

"Yes, yes." Concubine Li finally remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly ordered behind her, "Come here..."

However, before the palace people behind could follow up, they saw that the originally open palace door was closed heavily with a creak, and several people appeared beside Chu Xue at some unknown time.

Without allowing her to react, Yan Ling stepped forward and grabbed the medicine bowl from Lu Xuan's hand, and slapped it to the ground.

Watching the medicine splash on the clean ground, Concubine Li's master and servant finally came to their senses.

"You! How dare you..." Luxuan raised her hand to fight Yanling, but was caught by Yanling's backhand, and then she threw it very easily, and Luxuan fell heavily to the ground.

Concubine Li was dumbfounded by this scene. Concubine Li was startled, frightened and angry, and shouted: "How dare you disobey the order! Are you going to rebel?"

But seeing Yan Ling tidying up the maids around her, several court ladies came towards her.

"What are you going to do..."

Before she finished speaking, there was only a "slap", and Yanling slapped her neatly.

Concubine Li covered her numb face with her hands, and said angrily, "You, you, you, you dare to hit me?"

"You were the one who beat you!" Yanling gritted her teeth and said coldly: "As a concubine, you have no rules and regulations, and you dare to use poison to kill the lives of the imperial concubine and the prince in your womb. Take it lightly!" After saying that, she was slapped again, and Li Fei felt dizzy and staring.

Here Yan Ling was tidying up happily, when Chu Xue suddenly frowned and her face turned pale, Ruyue hurried up to subdue her, saying: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Xue painfully stared at Concubine Li and the others who were already terrified and at a loss, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Li is guilty of the crime below, and I will be poisoned by her. I am afraid that the prince in my belly will not be safe..."

She hissed, and said: "Quickly go to the imperial doctor! Also, immediately send Zhou Yu, the chief inspector of the inner court, to come and see me!"

"Yes!"

Yanling Ruyue was left in the hall to protect Chu Xue, and the others split up immediately.

When the door of the palace was opened, Concubine Li saw that the courtyard was already full of palace guards.
