The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 98

Chu Xue knew that Xu Jinhe would not admit it easily, so as soon as Fu Gui's letter arrived, she braced herself and came over to expose the other party's lies in person.

Seeing her pale face being mixed in, both Song Chen and Xu Jinhe were surprised, Song Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said: "If you don't rest in the palace, what are you doing here?" It was full of distress and tenderness, completely different from the cold and angry husband in front of Xu Jinhe just now.

Chu Xue said weakly: "I have something to say, I always wanted to tell the empress, I was really weak a few days ago and couldn't get out of bed, and I got better today, so I finally came here."

After she finished speaking, her eyes were clouded quickly, and she looked at Xu Jinhe and said: "I understand that since entering the mansion, the empress has always disliked the concubine, but the empress is the mistress, and the concubine never dared to disrespect the empress. The concubine understands With my own status, I respect my empress very much, and I never dare to be negligent, but the emperor is also the husband of my concubines, and my concubines really love the emperor! The emperor treats my concubines well, and it hinders your eyes. You are dissatisfied You can take it out on your concubine, but that child is only two months old, he has never even heard the voice of the emperor, he came to this world in a hurry, and was killed by you, he is so young, so pitiful, How can you do it..."

Tears fell as she spoke, and she sobbed in Song Chen's arms.

Xu Jinhe was furious, she felt that this woman was really hateful, she actually went to her place to pretend to be pitiful in front of Song Chen, but she really hated that the medicine didn't make it any more poisonous, and she couldn't directly send this woman to see Yan Luo!
But now is not the time to be angry, she just said half of what she said just now, she urgently needs to get rid of the crime, she hurriedly said: "Concubine Yi, you have misunderstood, I have never disliked you, I have explained to the emperor just now, at that time Gong didn't know that it was the emperor's child..."

"Ma'am, don't you know?"

Chu Xue got up from Song Chen's arms, and asked her, "Don't you really know, Madam? Didn't you specifically read the King's Living Book of the Inner Court Supervisor?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was silence in the hall, Xu Jinhe secretly thought that something was wrong, she had forgotten all about it!
Song Chen immediately asked, "Have you seen the golden book?"

Before she could reply, Chu Xue said for her: "When Zhou Yu came to report that day, the concubine found out that after the empress had read the golden book, the inner court prison caught fire that night, and just burned the golden book. Madam, how dare you say Is this just a coincidence?"

One hit.

How else can I quibble?

Xu Jinhe hurriedly retorted with a guilty conscience: "What is the meaning of Concubine Yi Gui, do you mean that the fire was set by me?"

"Is not it?"

It was Song Chen who said this sentence.

He said: "Since you have read the golden book, you should know that I have been to Yufu Palace, so that Xue'er is pregnant, do you still have reason to doubt her infidelity?"

Song Chen approached her and asked further: "Or did you deliberately get rid of Xue'er and pour dirty water on her, so you set fire to the gold book? Do you want to confirm her wronged name?"

Xu Jinhe's mind went blank, she still wanted to quibble, but what else could she quibble about?What Song Chen said is true!
Is there any way out, is there any?

But regardless of whether there is still or not, Song Chen did not allow her to think of a way out.

Even if she doesn't admit it, the truth has come to light.

His first wife was really so vicious, she wanted to kill his beloved woman and child, and even borrowed a knife to murder Concubine Li.

Song Chen frowned tightly, suppressed the overwhelming anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Because you are Chi'er Qian'er's biological mother, I will save your life for now. From now on, let's think about it in this place!"

"The emperor..." Xu Jinhe was shocked, and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

But even though she was really in tears, Song Chen didn't pay any attention to her anymore, but directly ordered Liangxi, saying, "I will pass on my will, the empress has vicious thoughts, willfully mutilated the concubine and the heirs, and her morals are damaged, and I will hand over the money from now on." Yin, ban Fengyi Palace forever! From now on, Concubine Yi will be in charge of the harem."

"Yes."

The angry king thought for a while, and then ordered: "Immediately call Concubine Rong back to the palace, and temporarily assist Concubine Yi to take care of the palace affairs."

"Yes."

Seeing that the king had finished his explanation, Liangxi immediately went down to act.

Xue'er is still ill, and it will take at least a month before she fully recovers. Jiao Yun is steady, so it is appropriate to let her help take care of the palace affairs for a while.

As for Xu Jinhe, Song Chen kept her life and name only because of two points - the two children of Song Chi and Song Qian and the Xu family of Duke Pei.

As a father, he didn't want to see his two sons become orphans who lost their mothers. He left Xu Jinhe alive in the hope that the damage to the two children would be minimized. Besides, Song Chi was the crown prince and his heir. It was the time when he was growing up, and he didn't want major changes to affect the prince's mind and judgment.

As for Xu's side, although Duke Pei Guo is old, his meritorious service is still there. Although Xu Jilin's military power was divided in this Northern Expedition, most of them are still in his hands. Moreover, there are still many Xu's party members in the court. Some things have to be taken slowly...

Therefore, the treatment of Xu Jinhe can only stop here.

Chu Xue in Song Chen's arms also understood this.

She didn't want Xu Jinhe to go to Huangquan immediately like Concubine Li, she also understood that Song Chen had his choice, and she was satisfied with doing this.

Seizing power and confinement, isn't this just like the Queen Chen before? How meaningful is it for a queen who has no real power and can't go out all day long?Although Xu Jinhe still has the crown prince in his hand, it doesn't matter, the debt owed by this woman is still unpaid, she doesn't believe it, and she will never take advantage of the other party.

The king's golden words fell to the ground, and everyone in Fengyi Palace seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Xu Jinhe couldn't believe it.

夺权禁足，夺权禁足！
How could she be reduced from a queen above ten thousand people to this in just a few days?

She can't accept it, absolutely can't accept it!
Xu Jinhe knelt forward, grabbed her husband's robe tightly, and cried: "Your Majesty, how can you be so cruel! This concubine is your first wife..."

However, Song Chen didn't pay any attention to it, and broke free from the woman's shackles with a little force, picked up the still weak Chu Xue, and stepped out of Fengyi Palace.

He should, never come back.

Following the emperor's imperial decree, Concubine Rong and Concubine Ning, who was still in Jingtian Temple to pray for blessings, returned to the palace that afternoon.

On the return carriage, Song Ning asked his mother curiously, "Is the father finished the battle?"

When she was out of the palace before, the adults explained to her in this way, saying that her father went to war, and she wanted to accompany the emperor's grandmother and concubine to the temple to pray for the blessing of the gods, and wish her father a victory in the battle and return as soon as possible.

Li Jiaoyun nodded, and said in a harmonious voice: "Yes, father won the battle and returned safely."

Song Ning thought for a while, then smiled proudly: "That must be because I asked for it well, the gods in the temple are all happy!"

Li Jiaoyun's beloved daughter raised her head and said, "Yes! Ning Ning is very good these days, even the gods are moved by you."

Song Ning immediately became happy.

Seeing her daughter smiling all the time, Li Jiaoyun also smiled and asked, "Ning Ning wants to go back to the palace so much?"

"Yes, concubine mother!" Song Ning explained to her mother with her little finger pointed, "When I return to the palace, I can see many people, father, brother, sister, imperial grandmother, and aunt...Ning Ning Miss them so much."

Listening to her daughter's detailed counting, Li Jiaoyun also remembered that the queen mother hurried back to the palace that day, she only vaguely heard that something happened in Yufu Palace, after the queen mother left, they stayed in Jingtian Temple, and the news was not very easy, she was afraid It was Xu Jinhe who was worried about Chu Xue while the Queen Mother was away.However, the little eunuch who delivered the decree today said that Chu Xue was safe, but Fengyi Palace seemed to have something wrong, so the emperor ordered her to return to the palace to assist with palace affairs...

What will happen to Fengyi Palace?Xu Jinhe can let her assist in palace affairs?

In front of Concubine Ning, she was not easy to ask questions, so now she is eager to return, eager to go back and have a look.

After more than an hour, the carriage galloped into the vermilion palace gate.

On the second day after the king returned to the palace, Qinzheng Palace opened the long-lost early court.

Although he has been away for a few months, due to prior arrangements, the affairs of the court and China are in order, and the news of Beihu's surrender is exciting, and the court at the beginning of the new year is full of joy.However, unlike most of the courtiers, Xu Jilin's face was clearly clouded.

The news from the palace had already spread last night, and now almost everyone in the court knows that his younger sister Xu Jinhe was seized of power and grounded because she caused Concubine Yi to have a miscarriage, and became a queen in name only. Concubine Li suddenly fell ill and died. Such a strange thing made him suspicious.

Song Chen had obviously given Chu Xue the cold for a long time, but now he suddenly had a miscarriage, and Concubine Li, who was "very favored" a while ago, died suddenly... Xu Jilin seemed to have vaguely guessed something.For example, Song Chen's previous plan, and the truth about his military power being divided.

This is no small matter.

Although he himself is a marquis, if Song Chen is allowed to continue to divide the military power, his title will definitely become a vain name, and although his father Pei Guogong is still in the mansion, what outsiders don't know is that his father's body has already died. It's already getting worse.When a person is old, how can birth, old age, sickness and death resist the destiny?What would it mean if one's own military power was taken away after his father died, and his younger sister was already abolished?
It means that one day, the once powerful Xu family may become a tiger in Pingyang and be bullied by dogs.

This must not happen.

The only thing that is sure now is Song Chi's position as the crown prince, which is of course an extremely beneficial lever. With this, maybe the Xu family can still occupy a place in the harem.

Seeing that the important ministers had finished playing, Xu Jilin suddenly strode to the center of the hall, bowed and said, "I have something to attend."

Song Chen expected that he would stand up today, so there was no surprise on his face, but he said lightly: "Say it."

"Yes." Xu Jilin bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty heard about the incident in the harem last night, so please think twice about it today. The Empress and Your Majesty have been married for many years and have always been respectful and virtuous. Regarding Concubine Yi's miscarriage, there may be a misunderstanding. Your Majesty, please find out." It's not too late to make a conclusion! Besides, the empress is the birth mother of the crown prince and the second prince, please forgive me for the sake of the two princes..."

"This is a matter of my harem, is Marquis Ping Nan worrying too much?"

The dignified king on the dragon chair interrupted the words sternly, and said: "Concubine Yi has had a miscarriage. I have found out the reasons for it, and I will never wrong anyone. Besides, I am also concerned about the two princes. This is the punishment."

Glancing at Xu Jilin coldly, the king said: "Back off, there is no need to discuss this matter again."

These words completely stopped those who wanted to stand up and agree with Xu Jilin, and the hall was suddenly quiet.

Nothing else to do, the king got up, and Liangxi immediately sang.

"Retreat!"
