Chapter 56(1/2)
You're a loser
What I mean by watching it later is.
If Old Ten is safe and sound, that's the end of it for the mother and son. Once Old Ten has a problem, mother and son are doomed.
Tianlaoli
Chen Bin gave her son a slap in the face, and then started crying hysterically.
"It turns out it's you who killed a thousand swords, you wasteful thing"
"Everyone else relies on their son, who can I rely on? How can I commit a crime by raising you so big? Everyone is enjoying the happiness of their son, while I am being tortured in a prison!"
"mother concubine"
The third prince was also troubled and swore that he had never done anything harmful to nature.
"I have a clear conscience. It's not my turn to be the prince, so why should I harm others?"
"What's more..." He glanced at his mother and concubine.
"What Meng'er said was obviously your instigation, so what does it have to do with me?" At the end of his sentence, he sounded like a gnat.
Chen Bin was so angry that she was trembling all over.
"What did I do to instruct him? You are a useless thing. You are neither your direct descendant nor your eldest son. How can it be your turn?"
The mother and son scolded each other for half an hour before they gradually came to their senses.
"We were clearly wronged and someone framed us!"
Chen Bin nodded: "Who could it be?"
She began to cry miserably: "I have never dared to offend anyone in my life, and you have no ability. I only hope that we two will live a peaceful life. Isn't this okay?"
The third prince lowered his head.
"It's all my son's incompetence. If you could please the Queen as much as your second brother did, you wouldn't have to work so hard."
"To please the Queen? What are you talking about?" Chen Bin smiled sadly.
"Your second brother went to curry favor with the queen because he didn't have a mother-in-law. If you had me here, the queen wouldn't treat you well."
"Now I just hope that your tenth brother will be fine."
As he was talking, there was a sound outside the door. It was Concubine Qing who had arrived.
She looked haggard, her eye sockets were sunken, and her eyes were dark green, and her clothes were lazily draped around her body.
As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down with tears in her eyes.
"Sister Chen Bin, I have no grievances with you. If you want to harm my son, what kind of poisonous insect is it? If you name it, the imperial doctor can prescribe the right medicine."
"If you are willing to save my son's life, I will put aside the past grudges and only follow my sister's lead from now on."
"Sister, please save my son, he has just turned 100 days old"
Concubine Qing knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Her hairpin fell off, her clothes were stained with dust, and her tears fell to the ground. Soon her forehead was black and blue, and gradually it was stained with blood.
Chen Bin was at a loss and kept saying that she had been wronged. The third prince was so anxious that he could not speak.
"It's not me, it's really not us"
Concubine Qing didn't believe it and begged like crazy. When she couldn't get her request, she became angry and commanded the prison to beat both mother and son ten times.
Ordinarily, it is wrong to execute someone privately, but who dares to offend the prince’s biological mother at this time?
After Qingbi left, mother and son looked at each other in pain.
"I'm afraid, the other party wants to kill us."
——
The stupid mother and son finally guessed it right, but they could never guess who was behind it.
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Newly married Xie Chenke is hugging his beloved wife.
"Your Highness, this is a clear day and the sky is clear. Your Highness should do some serious business and should not linger in the backyard."
Xie Chenke held his beloved wife's hand.
"I had nothing to do during the year before. My father gave me a holiday and allowed me to celebrate the Lantern Festival before participating in government affairs."
Yu pursed her lips.
"Even if you don't go to court, His Highness will go to the study to read more, talk about poetry and articles with the gentlemen, and hang out in the backyard with my concubine."
"Didn't we just get married? It's time for you and me to cultivate our relationship more."
He held her slender shoulders, kissed her slender white neck with his smooth hands, and reached deep into the skirt of her clothes with his other hand.
Yu's expression changed greatly and she hid behind.
"Your Highness respects himself"
With a blushing face, she turned around to straighten her clothes. After a while, she turned around with her clothes neatly dressed, a little embarrassed.
"If Your Highness really has no intention of studying, I will let my concubines take care of me, or you will go out to look for the red and fragrant green willows. I am a royal concubine. I have been familiar with the Book of Songs since I was a child. I really can't do that day-to-day prostitution."
thing"
Yu left in shame.
Xie Chenke came out disappointed.
After leaving the main courtyard, he calmed down his awkward emotions, looked at the main courtyard coldly, touched his nose and walked away.
——
In the study room in the front yard, several admirers were already waiting there.
Xie Chenke deliberately ordered a table of wine and food, and invited several geishas who could play and sing.
After three rounds of drinking, Xie Chenke became proud again.
"This time I can kill two birds with one stone. Once that little beast dies, the third son will basically be useless. Who else will be crown prince instead of me?"
Some of the staff stood up to express their congratulations.
"Your Highness, the day you move into the East Palace will be the day when I will rise to great heights."
Xie Chenke waved his hand: "That's natural. If it weren't for the gentlemen's clever plan, where would I be today?"
The staff looked at each other and smiled, and began to enjoy the food and wine with confidence.
No one noticed the cold light flashing in Xie Chenke's eyes.
That night, the confidant eunuch Baoying came to report that several aides had died suddenly at home, and their families had reported the matter to the official.
"Report it, it was caused by excessive drinking. I can't find anything even if I come here."
He was in great spirits and rested his head on his arm: "They know too much, it's better to just shut up. Their families will be treated well by this palace."
"Your Highness is merciful"
Xie Chenke asked again how the situation was in the palace.
Baoying said that the situation of the tenth prince was not optimistic, and the concubine Qing went to the heavenly prison to cause a scene, but the queen did nothing.
"As for the emperor, he has only been doting on Concubine Meng for the past two days."
"Concubine Meng has no threat at the moment, so let's ignore it for now."
"What's going on with Lao Shi? He should have died long ago." Xie Chenke was impatient again.
"How many days has it been going on? Are the doctors at the Imperial Hospital so capable now?"
Baoying kept silent and whispered that it was possible that the poisonous insects had not fully released their poison, and that His Highness would wait a little longer.
“Then just wait until New Year’s Eve”
It happened to be snowing heavily, and it was almost the end of the year. The atmosphere in the palace was heavy, and there were strict checks on entry and exit every day. It was not appropriate to take any action recently.
"That poisonous insect is very domineering. It should have results by New Year's Eve."
Xie Chenke was speechless and just stared out the window.
——
Sixth Prince's Mansion
Xie Chenyu has been very busy recently.
He pretended to get justice for Mr. Cui, and restrained Lin Ximeng, so he could never be found again.
Lin Ximeng stayed in the Zhuxiao Courtyard every day, drinking tea and wine, reading books and drawings, reading stacks of story books, and banging baskets of melon seeds. Her days were very leisurely.
Until the day of the New Year, Xie Chenyu came to Zhuxiao Courtyard at night, covered in ice and snow.
As soon as you enter the house, you take off your clothes and get on the heated bed.
Lin Ximengma Liu tidied up and stepped forward to greet her.
