Chapter 72 Empress Xie's Conspiracy
"The queen is careful." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled gently, "Then just follow what the queen said."
Sun Kui originally thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou would object to the Queen's proposal, but he didn't expect that Emperor Wu of Zhou actually agreed. He was so surprised that his eyes widened.
"I will carefully select a few beauties who are good at giving birth and send them to the Prince's Palace." Queen Xie said, with a trace of hesitation on her face.
Seeing Queen Xie's expression of hesitation, Emperor Wu of Zhou said warmly: "Queen, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Queen Xie hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, would you like to send a few imperial doctors to Dai Wang's Mansion to check the pulse of Dai Wang and Dai Wang Concubine?" As soon as she finished speaking, she added hurriedly, "Dai Wang has often been away fighting in recent years.
, he had suffered a lot of injuries, big and small, and he also took a lot of medicine. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poisonous. It might have hurt his foundation, so he had to ask the imperial doctor to look at him carefully and then prescribe a prescription.
Take good care of yourself."
"Then send the imperial doctor to Prince Dai's Mansion."
After Emperor Zhou Wu finished speaking, he saw Queen Xie's hesitant expression again and smiled slightly at her, "Queen, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I have arranged for the imperial physician to go to Prince Dai's Mansion to reward the Prince with beauties. I am afraid that Concubine Rong will be unhappy and will not agree to what I am doing." Empress Xie said with a wry smile on her face, "I am afraid that Concubine Rong will not be happy."
The noble concubine will feel that the concubine is deliberately humiliating the king."
Sun Kui said in his heart, isn't it?
"You are also kind-hearted." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Even if the Queen doesn't say anything, I will send an imperial doctor to Prince Dai's Mansion tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, you have the heart of a loving father."
She remembered that one time the late empress was ill, and she accompanied her then-young lady into the palace to visit the late empress. Not long after they arrived, the emperor hurriedly came to visit the late empress after leaving court, and even personally fed the late empress medicine.
Jiang Chuan did not dare to answer this question because no matter whether the answer was Concubine Rong or the First Empress, Empress Xie would not be happy.
"What about this soup?"
Also, she remembered that when the emperor was not the emperor, he often fought abroad. Every time he came back from the war, the emperor would bring something to give to the late queen. At that time, the queen was very jealous of the late queen.
Seeing that Emperor Zhou Wu didn't say much, Sun Kui didn't want to disturb him anymore, but when he saw the lotus seed soup beside the royal table, he could only speak again: "Your Majesty, the soup sent by the Queen will get cold if you don't drink it."
"Do you think that in His Majesty's heart, who is more important, Concubine Rong, or this good sister of this palace?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wu of Zhou just said "hmm".
"Tell the truth, I don't blame you."
"The empress is wise."
"Your Majesty, there will be no peace in the back house of the Prince's Palace."
Emperor Wu of Zhou asked without raising his head: "What did she say?"
"Let her be proud for a few more days." Queen Xie turned the ring on her ring finger and said meaningfully, "In a while, it will be the death anniversary of my good sister."
"Your Majesty, the Queen really cares about you."
After hearing this, Queen Xie pondered: "It is indeed not a bad thing, but what good does this do to us?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou asked again: "Queen, is there anything else you can do?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Emperor Zhou Wu just nodded gently and said nothing.
"Don't worry, Queen, I will definitely remind the Emperor."
Queen Xie had not thought of this, but now that she heard what Jiang Chuan said, she felt that it made some sense.
Sun Kui escorted Queen Xie out of the royal study. Queen Xie did not leave in a hurry, but told Sun Kui: "Eunuch Sun, the emperor will forget the time when he is busy. You should also remind the emperor to go to rest early."
"The Queen should also rest early." Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui and said, "Send the Queen out."
Queen Xie said warmly: "Just say what you want to say."
Jiang Chuan did not dare not answer, so he could only reply: "I think that in the heart of the emperor, the late empress is more important than Concubine Rong." When the late empress passed away, the emperor was so sad that he did not go to court for three days. Also, the late empress was still alive.
At that time, the emperor had great respect for the late empress.
"Thank you for reminding me." Queen Xie was so angry at Concubine Rong tonight that she didn't think of this for a moment.
"Empress, didn't you just say that His Highness the Seventh Highness is still young? In the past few years, the Crown Prince will still need to deal with the Dai Wang." Jiang Chuan analyzed, "If we don't find something to do for the Dai Wang, I'm afraid that the Dai Wang will really do it in the seventh year.
If His Highness succeeds in replacing the Crown Prince before he reaches adulthood, it will be very detrimental to His Highness the Seventh Highness."
Seeing this, his disciple stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to drink?"
"You're right." Before Xiao Jing grows up, she still has to help the prince. She can't let the prince be replaced by the king. Otherwise, when Xiao Jing grows up, the king will firmly take the throne and he will want to be the king.
It will be very difficult to step down. "I will write a letter to my brother now, asking him not to stop Kong Taichang's youngest daughter from becoming the acting king's concubine."
"Thank you, Master." The apprentice walked away with the soup and drank the soup when he returned to his room.
Jiang Chuan and Grandma Sun understood what Empress Xie meant, and quickly selected two outstanding maids from Zhaoyang Palace. Empress Xie saw them and was very satisfied.
"After Kong Taichang's youngest daughter enters the Dai Wangfu, she will definitely compete with Dai Wangfei for favor. If she is the eldest son of Dai Wangfei, then her status in Dai Wangfu will surpass Dai Wangfei." Jiang Chuan grew up in the Xie family.
The Xie family's back house has seen many things and tricks. "Princess Dai and the Marquis of Xuanping will definitely not give up."
"Your Majesty, the Queen has just given many instructions to my servants."
"You can make arrangements for tomorrow."
Queen Xie gave many instructions at once, and it wasn't until Sun Kui remembered them all that she held Jiang Chuan's hand and left.
"Empress, do you want to attack Concubine Rong on the death anniversary of the late Queen?" Jiang Chuan asked.
Sun Kui handed the soup in his hand to his disciple, "The emperor never likes to drink soup. Whether it is the soup sent by the queen or Concubine Rong, the emperor rarely drinks it." When Concubine Rong brings soup, the emperor will symbolically say
After taking two sips, he let him take the rest of the soup. However, every time the emperor went to Kunde Hall, Liang Zhaoyi would prepare a bowl of soup for the emperor, and the emperor would drink it all.
Queen Xie returned to Zhaoyang Palace and asked Jiang Chuan and Grandma Sun to select two outstanding-looking ladies from the Zhaoyang Palace. Others were selected from other palaces.
"The Empress asked my slave to remind you to rest early..." Sun Kui told Emperor Zhou Wu exactly what Empress Xie had told him.
"Yes." Sun Kui walked out with the soup.
She still remembered an incident. Back then, the first empress returned to Xie's family when she was pregnant. In fact, the first empress was four months pregnant at that time and her belly was not big. However, the emperor was worried that something would happen to the first empress, so he not only helped the first empress get off the bed in person
Che, still holding the late Queen's hand, carefully entered Xie's Mansion.
"If the emperor is hungry, remember to prepare a late-night snack for the emperor." Empress Xie said, "For late-night snacks, prepare something that is easy to digest. Also, do not prepare strong tea for the emperor at night. Drinking too much strong tea will make the emperor unable to sleep at night.
Already..."
"Your Majesty, I have something to say and I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Sun Kui sent Queen Xie off for a while, and then was driven back by Queen Xie, who asked him to go back and serve the emperor quickly.
"Your Majesty, actually it is not a bad thing to let Kong Taichang's little daughter enter the Prince's Palace."
After the late empress passed away, the emperor would personally pay homage to the late empress on her death anniversary every year. The emperor clearly remembered the late empress' birthday and would go to Chonghua Palace to pay homage to the late empress.
Grandma Sun retreated with the two palace maids, and then told them some things.
Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at the lotus seed soup placed aside, and said in a calm tone: "Take it."
"It's an advantage for you." Sun Kui knew that the empress did not cook the lotus seed soup herself, so he let his apprentice drink it. If the empress had made it herself, Sun Kui would have thrown it away.
"I'm fine now, I won't disturb you anymore." Queen Xie bowed her knees and saluted, "Your Majesty, please go to bed early."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong, what are you going to do?"
At that time, Concubine Rong was also ill, but the first person the emperor visited after coming to court was the late Queen, not Concubine Rong.
Queen Xie was a little surprised by Jiang Chuang's words and asked: "Why isn't it a bad thing?"
When the late queen was pregnant with the prince, her appetite was not very good, so the emperor specially found a good cook for the late queen to prepare meals for the late queen.
The emperor was very concerned about the late empress, and everyone in the Xie family saw it at that time.
"If Yu Wanrong does something that insults my good sister on the anniversary of her death, do you think the emperor will be angry?"
"The emperor will naturally be angry."
