Chapter 29 The Legend of Zhen Huan: An Lingrong 29
At night, as soon as An Lingrong put down her sewing work, she heard Qing'er's hurried steps, "Your Majesty, something happened with Concubine Hua. They are all in Jingren Palace now. The Empress has gone to Yangxin Hall to invite the emperor."
"What happened?" An Lingrong said as he asked Shuang'er to dress up for him. The concubines in the harem were all here, so he had to go too.
"It is said that Princess Wen Yi was given sleeping pills," Qing'er told An Lingrong what she had heard.
"The Empress sent Miss Jianqiu to see Princess Wen Yi in the afternoon. She saw that Princess Wen Yi was still unconscious. After that, she returned to the palace and reported to the Empress," Qing'er said.
"It's pitiful, Princess Wen Yi, okay, let's go," An Lingrong looked at her clothes and said to Qing'er.
In Jingren Palace, the emperor sat in the middle, the queen sat next to him, and Concubine Hua sat in her seat, her face a little pale, looking at the emperor's unpredictable expression.
When An Lingrong arrived at Jingren Palace, the atmosphere in the entire hall was so tense that no one dared to speak. "See your Majesty," An Lingrong bowed slightly.
"It's so late, why are you here? Come on, give me a seat. Su Peisheng will arrange a soft cushion." The emperor said to An Lingrong and ordered Su Peisheng to go.
"Yes, it's so late and you're still pregnant." The queen looked concerned.
"I heard something happened to Princess Wen Yi, so I came over to take a look. Princess Wen Yi is so cute, and I like her very much." An Lingrong replied, sitting on her seat.
Seeing that Concubine Hua looked confused, there was a woman in her thirties kneeling on the ground, who must be Princess Wen Yi's wet nurse.
"Go on," the queen said, looking at Princess Wen Yi's wet nurse.
"Slave, slave." The wet nurse looked at the emperor and empress, and finally glanced at Concubine Hua. Songzhi's threatening eyes made the wet nurse look away instantly.
"My lord, I didn't mean to harm the princess. Your Majesty, I just don't want to lose my job as a wet nurse. I no longer have breast milk to feed the princess. My family relies on my breast milk to support the family." The wet nurse kowtowed.
"Is there no one instigating you behind the scenes? How dare you murder the princess?" the queen asked, really wanting to say the word "Hua Fei" from the wet nurse's mouth.
The wet nurse was cruel and said, "This slave did it alone, no one instigated it."
Concubine Hua's tightly clenched hands slowly loosened, and her whole body showed a relaxed and natural posture. Songzhi patted Concubine Hua on the back to signal not to worry.
Concubine Hua looked at the wet nurse and said, "If you dare to murder the princess in my palace, do you not want your life?"
"Concubine Hua, please have mercy, Your Majesty, the Empress, please have mercy." The wet nurse glanced at Songzhi casually. Concubine Hua knew that the wet nurse had to admit it and be a scapegoat for the sake of her family.
"What did the imperial doctor say?" the emperor asked. After all, this was his first princess. "The imperial doctor said that Princess Wen Yi was already weak. After this disaster, her lifespan may be damaged," the queen sighed and said.
"Your Majesty, Princess Wen Yi is so pitiful. As a mother, my whole heart is like a knife. It's bloody, Your Majesty." Cao Guiren knelt on the ground and cried.
He himself did not expect that the Queen could do this and even disregard Princess Wen Yi's life. Cao Guiren really regretted agreeing to the Queen.
When Concubine Hua saw this, she knew that this bitch, Cao Qinmo, had betrayed her. She never expected that a dog that was usually by her side would bite its owner and join forces with the queen to harm her.
"Unbridled" the Emperor said in a low and shocking voice, everyone knelt down and said "Your Majesty, please calm down"
After a few seconds, the person in charge said, "Everyone, get up."
"The wet nurse was killed with a cane. Concubine Hua did not manage her well. Someone actually tried to murder the princess under his nose. Supervision was not strict, and she was stripped of her right to co-manage the Sixth Palace," the emperor said.
"My concubine obeys the decree." Concubine Hua had to swallow this breath. No matter what she did, she would never kill a child. This was probably a trap set by the queen.
Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Cao with a stern look. Cao Qinmo said, "How can I deal with you when I get back? Bitch, Concubine Cao didn't dare to look at Concubine Hua's murderous eyes, so he had to lower his head."
"Your Majesty, Princess Wen Yi suffered such torture when she was still young. I think it is better to send the princess back to her biological mother, Your Majesty," the queen suggested.
Although Cao Guiren hated the Queen for treating his daughter like this, he had no choice but to get his daughter back.
Cao Guiren looked at the emperor, hoping that the emperor would let him raise the princess, "Princess Wen Yi is sent back to Cao Guiren. Cao Guiren has a motherly heart, so she can be named Xiang concubine and be given a residence in Changhua Palace." The emperor gave an order, Wen Yi
Princess Yi’s decision to stay or go will be settled.
From now on, the princess will be in the name of Cao Guiren, oh no, Xiang concubine. Now no one can take away Princess Wen Yi.
Concubine Hua did not expect that the emperor would seal Cao Qinmo, a bitch, and also grant him a palace.
"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty the Empress." Concubine Xiang suddenly became the head of the first palace and took back the sick Princess Wen Yi. I'm afraid this is the biggest winner.
Concubine Hua glared at Cao Qinmo, and Songzhi tugged on Concubine Hua's sleeve and gestured to look at the emperor. The master and servant naturally understood what she meant.
"Your Majesty, Princess Wen Yi is in the concubine's palace. I really like her. I am also responsible for this matter. I would like to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for Princess Wen Yi." Concubine Hua said proactively. It was the first time she saw Concubine Hua showing weakness like this.
.
"Concubine Hua is interested, don't work too hard, and take care of yourself," the emperor reassured.
"My concubine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Concubine Hua sat back in her seat.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to report," the queen suddenly said.
"Is there anything else?" the emperor asked, and everyone listened to hear if the queen had anything else to report.
"It's Hui Gui," the queen said, looking at Jian Qiu and giving her a look, as if Jian Qiu was out doing something.
"Wherever there are Hui nobles in Shenmeizhuang, they are all in the cold palace," Concubine Hua said, looking at the queen.
"Hui Gui was framed, Your Majesty," the Queen continued.
Wan Guiren felt a little uneasy when he heard the Empress talking about Sister Mei. He still remembers the look in Sister Mei's eyes at that time.
An Lingrong looked at the queen. The queen was probably well prepared. Shen Meizhuang must have taken refuge with the queen in order to get out of the cold palace. He looked at Wan Guiren and thought that his good sister was probably coming out.
"At that time, witnesses testified that Liu Wei had run away and Fu Ling was also beaten to death. How can we prove that she was framed?" the emperor said.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yan has been caught. He is Hui Guiren's father. After Hui Guiren's accident, he has been investigating and finally caught Liu Fan in a small southern county. After that, he went to my mother's house and begged me to talk to the Emperor.
"Let Huigui wash away his grievances," the queen told the emperor about the unnecessary process.
Concubine Xiang felt nervous after hearing this, fearing that she would not be implicated. After all, she had done this in the first place, and she had to frame Hui Guiren for Wen Yi.
The queen was going to burn the bridge across the river. The concubine looked at the queen, not knowing why. The queen glanced at the concubine without giving her a look.
"Bring Liu Ban up here," the emperor said. Su Peisheng went outside the palace and looked at Liu Yan beside Jianqiu. He was smelly. He might have had a hard time hiding in Tibet.
"The emperor said to bring Liu Fan up." Several young eunuchs grabbed Liu Fan and entered the palace.
"The guilty minister Liu Fan meets with the Emperor and the Queen." Liu Fan knelt on the ground, sweating profusely from fear. He really didn't expect that he could be captured.
Liu Fan looked at Cao Qinmo, then at Concubine Hua, and then hurriedly lowered his head.
"Who instigated you to frame Hui Guiren in the first place?" the emperor asked.
"The guilty minister, the guilty minister, are you?" Liu Wei looked at Concubine Hua, and then at Cao Qinmo. Concubine Hua had a general, and he couldn't afford to offend her. He also had family and children.
"The guilty minister was ordered by Cao Guiren." Liu Fan's words directly caused Cao Qinmo to collapse on the ground and quickly crawled over to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, you are not your concubine, Liu Fan framed your concubine," Cao Qinmo said.
"What's going on? Please tell me carefully," the queen asked, looking at Cao Qinmo's cold lips.
"It was Mr. Cao who asked the guilty minister to frame Mr. Huigui. He was jealous that Mr. Huigui had won the favor of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, so he gave me five hundred taels of silver. Afterwards, Mr. Cao arranged for the guilty minister to escape," Liu Ban said.
Cao Qinmo really hates it. Why did he agree to Concubine Hua to do this in the first place? It turns out that Concubine Hua had already taken it out cleanly.
Concubine Hua looked at the queen's operation. In order to save Shen Meizhuang, the Ulanala family and the Shen family sent many people. She looked at Cao Qinmo slumped on the ground and smiled. Fortunately, Songzhi reminded herself, otherwise
The one who is panicking is himself.
