Chapter 184 The Third Prince's Concubine
A delicate voice from behind timidly said: "Third Prince, I am here."
The third prince also noticed something was wrong with the figure of the person in front of him when he hugged him. He felt that he was too strong. He hurriedly pulled away the silk cloth from his eyes, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he knelt down.
"Father...Father...My son, my son..." His voice was unconsciously filled with fear and trembling, and he was a little incoherent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The emperor looked at him coldly. He originally thought that he would meditate on his past in his palace, but he did not expect that he would live such a leisurely and charming life.
The third prince knelt on the ground, his heart beating like a drum. He couldn't see the emperor's expression or what he said. He asked boldly: "Why did your father come so suddenly? The servants lacked discipline and didn't even announce it.
Otherwise, I will go to the door to greet you."
"I asked them not to make any noise. Besides, if it wasn't like this, how would I know that you are like this in the palace? Get up." The emperor's voice was calm, and there was no hint of anger, but then
The sarcasm in his words and the coercion emanating from his body caused cold sweat to break out on the third prince's forehead.
The woman inside was taken out, and the third prince stood aside, waiting in fear for the emperor to speak.
The emperor was silent for a while, and the aura around him became more and more stagnant, making people feel suffocated. Then he slowly spoke, with a chilling coldness in his tone: "I just want to ask you, what is the end of the suppression of bandits?"
Are you the one causing this?"
The third prince fell to his knees again with a plop: "Father, why do you doubt my son so much? I swear that I have never done anything so treacherous and cruel to the people."
"You'd better not." What he wanted to say before coming here has no meaning now. The emperor looked cold, snorted, and left directly.
The third prince was the only one left in the room. Only then did he realize that his back was getting wet.
He called the housekeeper and sold out today's concierge, then let out a breath.
I don't know if the people in Pingde County have dealt with Si Moli. Even if they haven't, they can't find anything by measuring him.
The next day, while he was still sleeping soundly in his arms with the girl from yesterday, he heard someone outside reporting that the Queen was coming.
The third prince Si Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes with a look of displeasure in his eyes. He was awakened from his sweet dream. What happened to these two people? They came to him one after another.
After getting up and briefly washing up, I walked to the main room and saw the queen sitting there, with a thin layer of anger on her face.
"What's wrong with the queen, why do you come here so early in the morning?" The third prince curled his lips, thinking that most of what happened yesterday had reached the queen's ears, and she came to investigate.
The queen stood up and asked sharply: "Where is that woman? Where is she? Bring her to me."
The third prince frowned slightly and was about to speak when the nun beside the queen had already walked out. After a while, she grabbed the woman and came over. She pushed her to the ground and knelt directly in front of the queen.
"Mother, please listen to my explanation." The third prince became a little anxious when he saw the battle, but Grandma stopped him: "Your Highness, I have worked hard for you. Listen to this old slave's advice and don't be humble because of this.
The woman and the empress had a dispute."
The queen saw the face of the woman clearly, and she was indeed very similar to the former palace maid. The familiar features made her sick. How come this foxy girl still lingers on, even if she dies, she will not let go of her prince, after so many years.
, and she would try her best to harm her prince.
There was deep disgust in her eyes, she pointed at the woman and shouted angrily: "Hit me!"
A palace maid came over and wanted to drag the woman outside to the courtyard. The woman saw that she was anxious, rushed up and hugged the queen's feet, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty, please spare me!
This slave is already pregnant with the third prince’s child!”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.
Si Qi's face was filled with joy: "Is it true, Wen Niang, when did it happen?"
"The little day last month has not come yet. The maid next to me has some medical skills. After checking my pulse, I said that I have it. Because it is still early, I originally wanted to wait for the doctor to confirm before telling you." Wen Niang said as she spoke.
, while covering his stomach with his hands, tears streaming down his face.
"Mother, I know that I acted inappropriately yesterday, and it won't happen next time. Mother, please forgive me this time." The third prince was overjoyed and looked at the queen pleadingly.
The Queen was so angry that her hands were shaking, her eyesight went dark and she almost fainted. She stabilized her mind and said word by word: "If you still think about being able to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince in the future, this woman will be executed directly! The Crown Princess has not yet passed the door.
, a concubine of unknown origin is pregnant, and you are on the cusp of such a storm, are you willing to do it just because you want to piss me off to death?"
"Mother..." Si Qi came back from his joy and knew that this matter was inappropriate. However, that person had already become an obsession in his heart, and Wen Niang was the one who was most like her, so he still
He begged, "Is it okay for me to send Wen Niang out of Kyoto?"
"No!" The queen slammed the table next to her: "Are you going to give up your position as prince for a woman?"
Mammy looked anxious: "Third Prince, don't be confused. What kind of woman will you not find in the future?"
Si Qi struggled for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "Mother, please don't execute her. I don't want this child anymore, okay?"
The queen stared intently at the woman on the ground. The more the third prince behaved like this, the more the queen wanted to kill her.
But the queen knew that she could not separate mother and child because of this woman at this moment, so she took a step back and agreed to just let her abort the child.
But on the same day, this matter still spread out inexplicably. People in Kyoto were talking a lot. The third prince actually allowed his concubine to get pregnant before the royal concubine entered the house. It was really against the moral standards.
There were even rumors that the third prince's concubine looked very much like the eldest concubine of the Hou Mansion. In addition, the third prince had been really close to Shen Sisi before, so the news that the third prince coveted Chen's wife became more and more widespread.
After the morning court the next day, the Taifu went to the emperor to plead guilty, hoping that the Emperor would issue an order to break off the engagement. For this reason, the Taifu was willing to bear the punishment imposed by the Emperor and voluntarily suspended his duties and reflected at home.
The emperor remembered the scene he had seen before and sighed: "It's my fault in teaching my son. Tutor does not have to blame himself."
So with a wave of his hand, he issued an order to terminate the engagement between Ji Qianxue and Si Qi.
After hearing the news, the queen smashed many tea cups in the palace, ordered the execution of the Wen Niang, and then fell ill in bed with anger.
In the Hou Mansion, Jiang Lin's face was also green and white.
He has just been reinstated, so if the third prince falls, he will not end well.
However, he firmly believed that the Queen's family was behind the Third Prince, and they would not be removed so easily. He should show his loyalty by providing help when the Third Prince was lonely, and he would surely reuse him when the Third Prince rose again.
Aunt Liu nestled in his arms, with uncontrollable gloating in her eyes: "I heard that the third prince's concubine is similar to my sister, what should I do..."
