The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 106 Shocking Scandal
"The princess!"

The surrounding maids turned pale with fright, hurriedly came to help her up, pinched her and poured tea, the Tsinghua Palace was in chaos.

"What exactly happened here!"

Concubine Duan Gui was also sweating anxiously, and immediately sent someone to pass on to the imperial physician.

Over there, Yun Yao was also so frightened by her sister's falling to the ground that she cried.Concubine Huang hurriedly hugged and coaxed him, and was soon invited to the side hall to rest.

"Old Chinese New Year, what is this kid doing?"

No matter how good-tempered Concubine Duan Gui was, she became impatient. She was already busy and tired these days.Then Concubine Chen was still half dead in a coma on the bed, and she hadn't woken up since she had a miscarriage for no reason.

Is there something unclean in the palace recently?This possibility cannot be ruled out!

Since ancient times, the most indispensable thing in the imperial palace is the legend of grievances. Who makes there are too many unknown dead ghosts here.Concubine Duan Gui thought, should I invite Celestial Master Luo to come and do something?

"Miss, it's not good."

She had just asked Yun Ruochen to be carried back for treatment, before the imperial doctor came, another little eunuch ran over out of breath: "Your Majesty, something has happened!"

"Snapped!"

Concubine Duan Gui was very annoyed, she slapped the little eunuch to the ground, and said sharply: "You son of a bitch, what are you talking about!"

The little eunuch cried out and kowtowed desperately: "Madam, the slave is wrong, the slave is wrong."

Fortunately Concubine Duan Gui still had reason and scolded: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

"It's His Royal Highness... His Royal Highness was hit on the head by the emperor with an inkstone, and he was seriously injured. The Emperor didn't let His Highness heal his wounds, so he punished His Highness to kneel under the steps of the Jingxin Hall."

what?
Concubine Duan Gui was so shocked that she almost lost her composure and yelled out. Her first reaction was to take a look at the side hall where Yun Ruochen lived, recalling Yun Ruochen's strange reaction not long ago.

That child, had long expected that something would happen to her father?
But why did the emperor vent his anger on the prince?Is it possible that the crown prince mentioned the affairs of the court and disobeyed the emperor in his words during the New Year's Eve?

As for the temperament of the prince, no way...

This little eunuch is actually Duan Guifei's confidant, otherwise he wouldn't lose his temper.At this time, he lay on the ground tightly, and only said: "My lord, forgive me, the servant has something to say!"

"Come with me."

Concubine Duan made a decisive decision and sent everyone away, leaving only the little eunuch to speak in front of her.The little eunuch looked around again and there was no one around, and then he leaned into Concubine Duan's ear and said, "Madam, I heard that it was Imperial Physician Zhu who suddenly confessed today."

"Well, what did he confess to?"

Concubine Duan then took a cup of hot tea from the table, wanting to drink two sips of tea to calm the shock.

"Your servant also heard what people said, so you can't do it right... People say that Imperial Physician Zhu made a confession, and Concubine Chen's child... belongs to the crown prince!"

"puff!"

Concubine Duan took a sip of tea and sprayed it out, and the teacup in her hand fell on the carpet, spilling all over her dress!

"Cough...cough..."

She was choked by the tea, the little eunuch hurriedly patted her on the back and was suddenly slapped by Concubine Duan Gui.

"Damn slave, you are talking nonsense!"

"Yes, yes, my lord, forgive me, this slave just listened to it indiscriminately!"

Both sides of the little eunuch's face were swollen from the beating, but he didn't dare to complain, and knelt down in fear.

Although Duan Guifei beat the little eunuch, she knew in her heart that what the little eunuch said must be true.

How could it be the prince?I can't figure it out!

"If the prince can have a son like this..." Duan Guifei sneered in her heart: "Then he still has to fight with King Cheng all these years?"

Everyone knows that the prince's heirs are extremely difficult, and they are all in their 30s now, and there is only one eldest son, Yun Yao, under their knees.Even if he really had an affair with Concubine Chen, how many times could he steal it?
Concubine Duan Gui didn't want to believe that Concubine Chen had an affair with the crown prince, so no matter how she thought about it, she felt that the confession of Imperial Physician Zhu was not credible.But Your Majesty... Your Majesty is so wise and mighty, how could he believe such a foolish thing?
Anyway, if this matter gets out, it will definitely be a shocking scandal!

"My lady..."

Concubine Duan Gui was contemplating with a gloomy face when she suddenly heard a soft call from outside the door.Her phoenix eyebrows stood erect, didn't she tell them that they couldn't come over?

But seeing Yun Ruochen leaning against the door with a pale face, his big eyes were full of worry, his lips parted and closed slightly: "Madam, Chen'er has something to say to you."

"Princess, go back and rest quickly..."

Nanny Zeng came with a group of female officials, and told Concubine Duan that the princess ran to the main hall as soon as she woke up, but they couldn't stop her...

"Chen'er, come here."

Concubine Duan Gui ignored the female officials and waved to Yun Ruochen.

Yun Ruochen's walking steps were already unsteady, but he still gritted his teeth and hurried to Concubine Duan Gui's side, and said anxiously: "Ma'am, my father, is there something wrong?"

When she was in a coma for a short time just now, she seemed to be out of her body.She has never experienced the feeling of knowing that she is asleep, but everyone around her speaks and moves very clearly.

In a daze, she seemed to see through the wall of the house another little eunuch coming in to report to Concubine Duan, and was slapped again by Concubine Duan.Then, she seemed to hear them saying, the prince, the emperor, hurt...

Something really happened.

The black vortex she just saw is real.

She tried her best to pull her consciousness back, and as soon as she woke up, she rushed towards Concubine Duan Gui.Something happened, it doesn't matter, she must first figure out what happened!

"Chen'er, I shouldn't have told you about this..."

Deep in Tsinghua Palace, Concubine Duan Gui pulled Yun Ruochen to her face with a complicated expression.

However, under the steps in front of the Jingxin Hall, Prince Yun Zhaochong knelt on the snow with his head bleeding, almost fainting.

He didn't understand why the emperor was so angry when he saw him just now?

The emperor picked up the inkstone and threw it at him. If it wasn't for a flash of his subconscious, he would have almost hit him in the middle of the head.But the emperor was still angry, and scolded him for being evil, telling him to roll down the steps and kneel down, not allowed to get up.

No matter how wronged the prince is, he can only follow orders.But it was so cold, and it started snowing again.Although he was dressed warmly, but just kneeling on the icy stone brick snow ground, the chill soon penetrated his clothes and got into the cracks in his bones.

His body was not very good, and after he lost blood, he was punished to kneel down, and he felt like he was going to float when he got the cold.

Just when he felt himself getting weaker and weaker, a faint warmth suddenly appeared in his arms.

Huh, what does it feel like?
The warmth was so faint that it was hard to notice at first.But when he felt that he couldn't hold on, that warmth would appear and gradually spread to his limbs.

"How, how could this be?"

The prince was amazed by this strange phenomenon, temporarily forgot to think about the emperor's fury, and stretched out his hands to feel in his bosom.

Soon, he found the source of that warmth—it was the chilong jade pendant that he stuffed into his arms just now.

"What is this, so magical?"

As soon as Yupei left his arms, he shivered from the cold, and quickly put it back in.

When did Chen'er have such a magical jade pendant?What's more, the child was pulling him away abnormally just now, could it be that he had already noticed something?

Why is the emperor so angry?When he came over in the morning, the emperor was quite happy, and even implicitly praised his strong attitude towards those in the household department a while ago.

Not long after, his face suddenly changed.Although he knew that the emperor was moody since he was a child, and before his middle age, he often had a bad record of throwing the civil servants who talked back to him out of the court and beating him to death, but the prince and other princes were never beaten by him.

The emperor is better at cold violence to his sons, to be precise, when they don't exist.

Now the crown prince really misses the peaceful days when the emperor didn't notice at all... Man, he really thinks about nothing. When he didn't get attention, how much he longed for his father to look at him more.Now he realizes that it is really a kind of happiness not to be noticed by his father.

In the Jingxin Hall, Emperor Yuan Qi's face was as deep as water, staring at a stack of secret reports without blinking his eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry..."

Zhang Yuan secretly swallowed his saliva, and approached cautiously: "This is just a one-sided statement by the surname Zhu, why do you..."

"Humph!"

Emperor Yuan Qi became furious again, and swept a bucket of color teacup to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"One-sided words!"

"Bullying the king, you are all bullying the king!"

"Do you think I'm old? Am I confused?"

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to fart any more, he prostrated himself on the ground and begged the emperor for forgiveness.Zhang Yuan came out of the house, and there were no more servants, even the two little eunuchs standing outside were so nervous that their backs were drenched.

Emperor Yuan Qi's beard trembled in anger, his cloudy eyes were fixed on the outside of the hall, the direction where the crown prince was kneeling.

"You bully...Yun Zhaochong, you evil..."

He couldn't believe that his concubine and his own son would have an affair under his nose and secretly conceive a baby!
But doctor Zhu's confession made him unable to let go.

According to Zhu Taiyi's statement, the prince and Chen concubine have had contacts for a long time.In the palace, Concubine Chen is the closest concubine to the prince, about three years younger than the prince.Concubine Chen had already entered the palace before the crown prince left the palace to open the mansion, and the two had frequent contacts at that time.

After the prince opened the mansion, he had not been called in by the emperor for many years, and it was not until last year that he gradually had the opportunity to re-enter the palace.

The two were already ambiguous, and they hooked up again at some point, and had a relationship beyond ethics without the knowledge of Zhu Taiyi.Doctor Zhu said that they had such an abnormal relationship more than once, and then Concubine Chen became pregnant.

Afraid of being found out, Concubine Chen bribed Imperial Physician Zhu with a lot of money, so that Imperial Physician Zhu announced her pregnancy month one month later.As long as Imperial Doctor Zhu was always checking her pulse, it would not be suspicious in theory to say that she was born prematurely by one month.

But there happened to be one time when the imperial doctor Zhu complained about illness, he had informed the imperial hospital that he would go to take Chen Concubine's pulse at another time, but the imperial hospital forgot, so another imperial physician went there.

Seeing that it was not Imperial Physician Zhu who came here, Concubine Chen wanted to excuse that she would not take the pulse, but she was afraid that others would feel guilty, and felt that the difference between months might not be visible by taking the pulse, so she asked Imperial Physician Zhong to take the pulse casually.

Just this time, she betrayed the real month of her pregnancy.
