Chapter 23 Swear by the Xue Clan's Prosperity and Wealth
In front of everyone, Princess An Yi suddenly mentioned this past incident, and Emperor Qin Cang's face became even more ugly.
The second prince, Qin Junhua, was a bit stupid at first. Seeing his mother and concubine unconscious and his sister crying profusely, he just pulled Qin Cang's sleeve and said, "Father, father..."
Queen Xue looked at the undisguised disappointment and disgust in Qin Cang's eyes, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
A sense of disbelief suddenly arose in her heart. Concubine Jing, who had been so honest that she couldn't beat a fart with three sticks all day long, could actually bother to set up such a big game.
"An Yi, don't make false claims!" A trace of panic appeared on Xue Baolan's dignified face, "Your Majesty, I have been sleeping with you for more than twenty years. Don't you still know what kind of person I am?
Diao Nu grabs and pulls at will..."
Yun Xihe lowered his head and pursed his lips. She could tell from the previous break-up of the engagement that the current emperor was a person who loved to whitewash peace. As long as the matter was not serious enough, he was not willing to take care of it.
But as an emperor, he didn't care about anything. For example, the emperor's heir was something he valued very much.
Qin Cang only has three sons, two daughters and five heirs. The eldest son Qin Junze has a crown prince, the second prince Qin Junhua is mediocre, and the third prince Qin Junzhuo is unremarkable. Apart from the daughter An Yi, there is only one Princess Linglong left.
Milk.
Today, Concubine Jing put herself in danger and dragged the queen into the water in the name of killing the second prince. This severely hit Qin Cang's bottom line, and he had no choice but to take action.
"enough!"
His face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face,
"Lu Yuanzheng has personally admitted that your palace sent someone to get the red flower in person! The girl from the Yun family is pregnant with Junze's flesh and blood! How could you do it? There is also the incident more than 20 years ago.
I have already given you enough face! At least Junhua was born safely, and God has treated me well! Now that your son has been crowned a prince, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Your Majesty, Yun Ying'er is simply because she is weak and is not blessed to have children. The miscarriage has nothing to do with me! Also, as you said, I am now a queen and my son is a prince.
Why would I attack the second prince again? Isn't it too stupid!"
Queen Xue's face was filled with eagerness and she argued hurriedly.
What happened?
Didn't the emperor never care about these bad things in the harem? In the past twenty years, every time he talked about the harem, he always praised himself as a virtuous queen, who managed the six palaces in harmony, unlike the harem of the previous dynasty.
How could so many things suddenly come up?
Xue Baolan suddenly felt that God no longer favored her.
She remembered that at the beginning, she really made up her mind to be a virtuous and generous queen, but there were too many women in the harem. Today she was Concubine Jing, tomorrow she was the royal nobleman, and the day after that she was Zhou Changzai.
.... No matter how virtuous she is, she is still a woman.
Is there any woman in the world who is willing to share her husband with others?
During the more than 20 years that she had been holding the sky with her hands, she had lost count of how many concubines in the harem had been tortured and how many babies had died in her hands.
She closed her eyes and calmed her mind. She had walked through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood of so many people until now, and there was no turning back.
Seeing the emperor sitting there staring at her fiercely, Queen Xue's eyes flashed, she pointed to Yun Xihe aside and said,
"Your Majesty, I not only have a good son, but also such a wonderful future daughter-in-law! Xi He is kind-hearted. Since she is willing to give Ying'er a way to live, how can I, an elder, be so cruel?
hand?"
"I am really unjust, Your Majesty!" The Queen knelt on the ground.
"I will not listen to these heart-breaking words. What is the purpose of those large numbers of red flowers? Xue Baolan, maybe you can tell me clearly?" Qin Cang looked at her with eyes that were so cold that there was no warmth at all.
"Concubine... I am not strict in my rule. I am afraid that some palace official will pretend to convey my will, steal this medicinal material, and do such treacherous and unethical things. I beg the emperor to give me some time."
, I will definitely give an explanation to the Yun family and Concubine Jing." Xue Baolan was very stubborn.
"We are here, how much more time do we need? Lu Yuanzheng, tell me!" The emperor did not give her any face.
Lu Yuan was so trembling that he didn't dare to raise his head. On one side was the emperor, on the other was the queen. On the other side, he was dying, and on the other side, he was dying plus killing the nine tribes. Of course, he sold the queen out without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, it's the guilty minister that Aunt Gu, who is by the Queen's side, came to find."
Aunt Gu, whose life was saved, was loyal, and immediately fell to her knees, "Your Majesty, Queen, this old slave was confused for a moment!"
The queen first breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed an expression of disbelief, "Mother Gu?! Why are you doing this?"
Aunt Gu immediately kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! Your Highness the Crown Prince is a man of wealth, how can you let a lowly woman who got pregnant out of wedlock ruin your reputation? The old slave just gave birth to her baby and did not want it.
Her life has been spared!"
"There is also the second prince." Aunt Gu paused and couldn't make it up, because she really couldn't think of any reason for the queen to poison Concubine Jing and her son. She could only say forcefully, "It was the old slave who hated Concubine Jing and poisoned her.
Concubine, I hate the second prince! This matter has nothing to do with the Queen!"
"Mother Gu, be careful what you say." Yun Xihe suddenly said calmly, "Yun Ying'er is the daughter of my Yun family, and it's not the turn of a slave to criticize her."
"Yes! Yes! Miss Yun taught you the right lesson!" Aunt Gu's attitude was very respectful. Anyway, now that the matter was over, she took everything from her. "It's all your fault!"
"Your Majesty, I have worked hard to manage the harem for you for more than 20 years. There is no merit but hard work. Today, I was careless and let people around me do such things! It is all my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
And punish my concubine." The queen covered her heart and looked weak.
She knew that the emperor was still a face-saving person. Although some people came out to take the blame for this matter, she, the queen, had to make a gesture.
Qin Cang let out a long sigh and was about to speak when the second prince Qin Junhua, who was lying in front of the bed, suddenly burst into tears and said, "Concubine, wake up. Concubine, how can I live without you?"
An Yi also cried miserably, "Mr. Fan, when will the poison in my mother and concubine be cured?"
Qin Cang's heart, which had just softened, suddenly hardened again, and his expression became more and more gloomy, "Queen, are you still treating me as a fool? Do you really think that I don't know anything?"
Aunt Gu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Her forehead was bruised and blood was flowing out, "Your Majesty, it is all the fault of this servant... It has nothing to do with the Queen. The Queen is innocent!"
Xue Baolan's face turned pale, and her body began to tremble gradually. She bit her lower lip tightly to keep herself awake. She didn't believe it. What evidence could she have?
