Long Harem Road

Chapter 96

Baozhu didn't know about Zhou Wan'er's dying struggle. At this time, she was confinement confinement to support her body. The body is the capital of the revolution, and she must not lose sight of the other.

Breeze Palace

The fourth prince was lying on the side of the large golden nanmu bed, staring curiously at the little brother he met for the first time, with a touch of disappointment and deep disgust in his pure big eyes.

"Mother concubine, younger brother, ugly!" Zhao Mao curled his lips in disgust, pointed at the seventh prince with his chubby little finger, and said that the three-year-old fourth prince already has the concept of beauty and ugliness. can meet his expectations.

Baozhu couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hands to pinch Zhao Mao's tender and beautiful face, and said with a sinister smile, "Why is my brother so ugly? Why does the concubine think that my brother is more beautiful than the baby?"

Zhao Hao suddenly opened his eyes wide, pulled away the unscrupulous old mother's salty hands, and stared in disbelief at the little brother who was sleeping peacefully without hearing anything outside the window, as if he was sizing up and comparing.

"Baby doesn't like my brother!" Zhao Hao twisted his body, declared stubbornly and domineeringly, but after all, he was only a three-year-old child, and the mist in his eyes was slowly gathering.

With tears in Zhao Hao's eyes, he looked at Bao Zhu pitifully, then turned to look at Huan Huan and the others behind him, as if he needed their support, obviously, the little man was very aware of his own advantages.

The pink-carved and jade-carved little cute baby was in tears, and instantly captured everyone's hearts. Huanxi, Nanny Li and others felt distressed, but they knew their identities, and they had no choice but to lower their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly at them.

The children of the royal family are smart and precocious. Although Zhao Hao is less than three years old, he is extremely sensitive and domineering. He clearly feels that it is the arrival of the little brother that has stolen the attention of the mother and concubine.

The three-year-old child didn't know how to hide the disappointment in his heart, so he could only express his dissatisfaction and hostility towards his younger brother in the most straightforward way!

Bao Zhu leaned on the bed, put away her jokes and jokes, and shook her head with a dignified expression. Others only said that children's words are innocent, but she dared not take it lightly.

There is no family relationship in the Tian family. For the sake of the supreme imperial power, brothers turn against each other and father and son become enemies everywhere. However, no mother wants this kind of thing to happen to her child. Know more about it.

Baozhu pulled Zhao Mao who was twisting and wriggling, and stroked his back to show comfort, but his mind was spinning and turning, thinking about how to comfort Zhao Mao.

Although she has been paying attention to Zhao Mao's emotions since she was pregnant, she has never been indifferent, and subtly instilled in him that with a younger brother and younger sister, he will have brothers, sisters, and partners. However, she obviously overestimated a The comprehension and possessiveness of a three-year-old.

"Baby, my brother is too young. When my brother grows up to be like a baby, you can play together. Wouldn't it be good for the baby to have one more friend?"

The tears in Zhao Mao's eyes rolled down like beads that fell off the thread, and he flung himself into his mother's arms sobbing, venting the grievances of these days to his heart's content, "Mother Concubine, woohoo, the baby wants Mother Concubine."

"Baby is good, mother and concubine are always here, brother is too young, baby and mother concubine to take care of younger brother, okay?" Baozhu couldn't help but blame herself. Although the delivery went smoothly, she was seriously injured and hadn't seen Zhao Mao for three days. , the little baby obviously felt neglected and wronged.

"Mother and concubine, woo woo." Zhao Mao choked up and called to his mother, hugging Baozhu's neck tightly, refusing to let go, Li Nanny had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and carried the seventh prince away.

"The baby is a man now, don't cry anymore, take an afternoon nap with the concubine, okay?" Baozhu knows that everything should not be rushed, patience is needed, and love develops over time, so she decided to let the two brothers have frequent contact in the future and grow together.

Although Baozhu will not be partial, but the elders are orderly. Zhao Mao is her eldest son and the number one supporter in her heart. Unless he is a dou who cannot be supported, Baozhu will consider Zhao Xu. Mao was born with excellent conditions, so Zhao Xu's position was to assist his brother.

Returning to his mother's arms, Zhao Hao was satisfied, and soon stopped crying, with a smile on his face, with rabbit-like red eyes, "Okay! Mother and concubine accompany me!".

Looking at Zhao Hao who was breathing steadily by his side, Baozhu stopped beating, lowered her head and kissed his smooth forehead, lay down on her side, and fell asleep with the baby peacefully.

The harem was overwhelmed by dark clouds, and it was so depressing that people could not breathe. The emperor did not hide Zhou Wan'er's death, and clearly ordered the harem and the former court to run in an orderly manner according to the emperor's plan!

Regardless of the previous dynasty or the harem, no one dared to question it. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor was using Zhou Wan'er as a raft to search the harem for a certain purpose.

It's just a dispensable concubine, and as the father, Master Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of War, has no doubts, let alone others?
At this moment, Zhou Shangshu is rejoicing that the emperor has not been involved too much, wishing that this daughter who is a stain on his life has never appeared before, so how could he not know how to live and die?

The harem can be seen everywhere. The concubine and master who made the romantic encounter disappeared. They hid in the palace and thought hard about countermeasures.

If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing, under the sudden attack of someone with a heart, you will definitely find a loophole, even if you really get nothing, the guilty concubines will also fall into the trap.

Of course, there are many open-minded people, such as Concubine De who is deliberately protected by the emperor while she is in confinement; for example, Concubine Shu who is heroic and heroic...;
Another example is the concubine Xian who has a son who is full of everything, Zhong Ling is as clear as her, because she has no love with the emperor, she jumped out of the game, so she knows the goal of the emperor's move, and she is not at a loss, but has some expectations.

A group of concubines with ulterior motives lived in fear all day long, and Zhou Wan'er, who was guilty of death, scolded her bloody head. If it weren't for her crooked ways, how could they have the opportunity to fall directly into the hands of the emperor?
Although they don't know what the emperor has mastered, they are very clear about the emperor's ability. If there is a little clue, the emperor will be able to follow the clues and grasp everything. Now, what they pray for is nothing more than the emperor's kindness. After all, the law does not blame the public.

However, half a month later, the emperor still did not make any moves!

The more silent the emperor was, the more uneasy they became. As the palace maids and eunuchs were being taken away by Shen Xingsi, their nerves became more nervous and they were on the verge of collapse;

The psychological defenses were disintegrated little by little, and the torment of waiting for the fate to make a choice devoured their nerves little by little, and they became paranoid and terrified all day long.

The sun was setting, and suddenly the dark clouds lowered, and the sky was instantly dark. Between lightning and thunder, a torrential downpour came, and the ground instantly gathered large and small water flows, and soon gathered into a vast ocean.

The sky and the earth are white and misty, and the rainwater falls into the ground in a line, causing layers of spray, and the bean-sized raindrops "bang bang" hit the windows. crumbling.

Stormy wind and rain, lightning and thunder, somewhere in the harem, shrill, desperate, and heart-piercing screams were instantly swallowed up in the rainy night, and no one noticed it.

The sun rises in the east, and the golden sun shines on the earth. The palace people who got up early are cleaning up the ruins in the palace, and busy figures can be seen everywhere.

If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow? After the baptism of a storm overnight, the bluestone floor is clean, all the dirt is removed, and small puddles are sparkling in the sun.

Imperial study room

After the morning court, Zhao Zhen looked a little tired, his chin was stubbled, and his dark eyes were bottomless. It rained overnight, and all parties in the capital responded quickly. Fortunately, no houses collapsed or casualties were caused.

A hanging heart fell to the ground. Zhao Zhen, who had not slept all night, felt deeply exhausted at this moment, and said hoarsely, "Li Mingzhong, was the harem damaged last night? Have the princes and princesses been frightened?"

Li Mingzhong cleared his throat, then bowed forward and saluted, "Go back to the emperor, everything in the harem is normal! But...," Li Mingzhong paused, raised his eyes cautiously, glanced at the exhausted emperor, and continued:

"The people of Yongshou Palace came to report that Miss Li Wu suddenly went crazy last night, scratched her face, and completely ruined her appearance!"

Zhao Zhen's expression did not change. If you observe carefully, you will notice the fleeting sarcasm, "My cousin is cruel! In this case, Miss Li Wu is no longer fit to serve the Empress Dowager. Send someone back. , After all, serving the sick is meritorious, and I will reward you a lot!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Mingzhong's eyes flashed with clarity, he already guessed the emperor's attitude, but the cousin the emperor is talking about is the queen?It's still Miss Li Wu, I don't know.

Her appearance was completely destroyed, and the family she depended on for survival collapsed. This Miss Li Wu was doomed to be desolate and lonely for the rest of her life, just like an old saying, why bother if I knew today!
Just when she was impure in her thoughts and motivated by greed, when the emperor went to Yongshou Palace to visit the empress dowager, the moment she shamelessly tried to design the emperor, she was doomed to a tragedy that would not end well. How can the emperor just calculate casually?
As for the Queen, if she is really broad-minded, she will not end up in today's end. Miss Li Wu dared to seduce the Emperor under the Queen's nose. I don't know if she is ignorant or fearless, or she is in a hurry to go to the doctor!

Besides, everyone knew that the so-called madness was just to save the emperor's face. After all, before the emperor was dethroned, there was such a queen who did not forget to be cruel to her own sister when she was sick. The emperor will also lose his face!
When Li Mingzhong figured out the truth, he was actually taken aback by the queen's way of doing things. He didn't expect the queen to be so simple and rude. I really don't know how she survived in the harem for so many years. Could it be that the queen simply broke the jar because of the support of the queen mother? Broken?
It has to be said that Li Mingzhong is worthy of being a celebrity around the emperor, and he really has a deep consideration of the problem, but the facts are different from his guess!
The reason why the queen is so violent, apart from being imprisoned because of love and hate, and she hates the actions of seducing the emperor like Miss Li Wu, a large part of the reason is due to the accumulation of poppies in her body, which can dispel negative emotions in people's hearts. Expand until, unable to bear the stimulation, ... lose your mind!
"Re-assign people to take care of the queen mother with all my heart. In addition, I warn the queen that enough is enough. My patience has a limit!" Zhao Zhen's face was so dark that water could drip, but the queen was still restless when she was imprisoned in Yongshou Palace, and she even treated her biological sister Under this cruel hand.

It's not that the emperor felt wronged for Miss Li Wu. Zhao Zhen would not have any sympathy for such a stupid woman who dared to design him. Such a woman deserves to die;
However, after all, Miss Li Wu was serving the emperor's mother, the empress dowager, but she was disfigured by "going crazy" in the harem and on the emperor's territory. Such a lie was also blatantly hitting the emperor in the face!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Leave to the Qingfeng Palace. In addition, call the Imperial Physician Zhang to go. The Seventh Prince is not yet full moon. There was lightning and thunder last night, just in case you are frightened!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!", Li Mingzhong bowed and retreated, since it was related to Qingfeng Palace, he didn't dare to slack off!
