fake prince

Chapter 849 Strict control
Looking at the situation, the empress is better than she imagined. She thought that a woman who lost her only son and her children and grandchildren died at the hands of her husband would be more extreme. She did not expect that as the mother of a country, the empress is indeed the empress , very comparable.

The queen also looked at Concubine Wei with a slight smile, thinking about the intention of the eunuch's message to the eunuch just now, and suddenly asked: "Concubine Wei, why do you look a little unwell? But there is something wrong with your body?"

Concubine Wei was startled, she quickly stood up and replied: "Thank you, Empress, for your concern, this concubine may have caught a cold, it's not a serious problem."

"That's good." The queen nodded, and said in a gentle voice without rushing: "However, although it's June and the weather is already hot, you still shouldn't be too greedy for the coolness, you have to rest more, and you must not be careless. "

"The former Concubine Yang was fine at first, and the emperor loved her, but she was too greedy for cold, and became ill once she got sick."

"What the empress said is true." Although the words were unlucky, Concubine Wei still showed gratitude, and replied respectfully: "Your concubine must be careful."

The two of them were originally old people in the palace, so it wasn't that they had nothing to say, but if they had a lot to talk about, they didn't have anything to say.

More than ten years ago, one was the empress, and the other was just a nobleman of Wei. After the empress lost her son and closed the palace gate, Concubine Wei was gradually promoted to concubine Wei, and because of her seniority, she took the position of concubine.

The huge disparity in status in the past makes Concubine Wei feel a little bit unsure now, and even speculates: "The queen summoned me late at night, is it just to say these innocuous words?"

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion outside, the palace maids separated, Concubine Wei suddenly felt heart palpitations, almost unable to control herself, forced herself to calm down, looked around, a big eunuch entered, it was none other than the chief eunuch Zhao Eunuch next to the emperor.

Eunuch Zhao saluted the queen first, but he didn't kneel down. He just said, "This old slave has seen the queen."

The queen's eyes were fixed, and she guessed something, and she had already stood up gracefully. As a queen, unless it was a special order for her, otherwise, there was no need to kneel down, just stand up.

Sure enough, Eunuch Zhao turned around and said to Concubine Wei: "Concubine Wei, please speak up!"

Concubine Wei's heart skipped a beat, she felt a sense of imminent disaster, her complexion changed drastically, she hurriedly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed: "My concubine speaks out!"

However, Eunuch Zhao not only issued oral instructions to her, but also said to the queen who had already stepped down: "Empress Empress, please speak to her as well."

"The courtiers and concubines speak up." The queen also wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Eunuch Zhao.

"Empress, you don't need to kneel down to speak, this is the emperor's intention." Eunuch Zhao said in a deep voice with no expression on his face, each word was very clear.

"The emperor has a decree. Concubine Wei spends extravagantly and has too much status. The queen should issue a decree to cut off Concubine Wei's concubine position and strictly control it."

"Ah!" Concubine Wei fell to the ground after hearing this.

The empress couldn't help but change color. Concubine Wei, among other things, has always been cautious. It's true. It's been 20 years. Who doesn't know?

The cost is extravagant, and there is too much place, so where do we start?
Of course, as long as there is a reason for doing things in the palace, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. The Queen Bingxue is smart and immediately understood: "It must be something happened to King Lu."

Seeing that Eunuch Zhao had conveyed the order to leave, he hurriedly said, "Eunuch, please stay!"

Eunuch Zhao hurriedly stopped, bowed and listened to the Queen asking, "It's so late, where are you going?"

Eunuch Zhao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the old slave has just announced the oral order, and I have to go to ask for the official order, and go to the Lu Palace to deliver the order."

"Go to Lu Wang's mansion to pass the decree? Can you sue the palace, and what is the reason?"

The queen asked, and she asked something that everyone will know soon, Eunuch Zhao didn't hide anything, and replied directly: "Go back to the empress, the emperor has decreed that King Lu's title will be cut off, and he will be deposed as a commoner."

Pfft!
"Concubine Wei!"

Not far away, Concubine Wei, who was already holding on, just heard this answer and fainted immediately.

"Cutting off King Lu's title?"

The queen couldn't help but gasped, since it was so serious, she couldn't ask any more questions.

Although I don't know exactly what it was, it allowed the emperor to directly abolish the position of a concubine, and even cut off the prince of an adult prince.

This is a major event that is enough to shock the entire capital and even the world, and the hidden sense of storm is coming, so that the queen even has the illusion that she has returned to more than ten years ago.

What is that cruel man going to do again?

This was the queen's first reaction, and the second reaction was, will the king be involved in this matter?

Seeing that Mr. Zhao had announced his resignation and left, the queen withdrew her thoughts and ordered: "Take a few people with you and wait for Concubine Wei to go to the side hall to rest."

He also specifically warned: "Although the emperor ordered to cut off the concubine Wei, she is a concubine after all, and the emperor gave birth to a prince, so you are not allowed to be treated coldly. A part of the money of the palace will be set aside to give concubine-level treatment."

Below the concubine is the concubine, which not only conforms to the emperor's will, but also shows his benevolence and generosity. As for the emperor, if he is dissatisfied, he can be knocked down at will. It doesn't cost a lot of money.

"Yes, Empress Dowager." The female official immediately responded, and led a few maids to set up the still awake Concubine Wei and walked towards the side hall.

Another female officer went out and asked the people who came with Wei Fei to go back to Wei Fei's residence first, and wait for the final release.

After everything was dealt with, the queen walked back to her seat and sat down.

"What's going on here?" She pondered: "Why did the emperor suddenly send Concubine Wei and King Lu away? Could it be that the mother and son violated the emperor's taboo?"

But except for the massacre of the ex-prince's extermination more than ten years ago, most of the time, the emperor was quite tolerant to the princes, princesses and concubines.

Even those concubines who are not favored will not be bullied by others, and they can live a life of food and clothing.

And the grown-up princes were all crowned kings and opened mansions. They were as high-profile and arrogant as King Qi, and they have not been killed by the emperor so far. However, King Lu is so low-key that he doesn't know the truth, and he can live a good life.

There are a few minor princes and princesses who live with their mothers and concubines. Although they are not valued, their mothers and concubines are also of low rank. The emperor usually can't even think of them easily, but they will not die young.

Such an emperor suddenly attacked the adult prince who had opened the mansion for several years. Anyone who saw it would think that Concubine Wei was implicated by King Lu.

The queen pondered for a long time, but felt that something was wrong.

"Recently, the emperor has gradually favored the king of Lu, and I am worried that it will be bad for the king."

In fact, she had long noticed that the emperor's attitude towards the King of Lu had changed. She knew that even if the acting king came back and was conferred the title of prince, she would not be in the emperor's choice. , more and more unpleasant.

The queen was secretly vigilant: "Why did the thunder break out suddenly? This matter must be investigated and understood!"

Thinking of this, the queen immediately ordered the eunuch in front of her: "Go and check, what happened to King Lu, please tell me later."

"The slaves obey."
