Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

On New Year's Eve, there is a banquet in the palace, and there are many royal family members, singing and dancing to promote peace and prosperity.The New Year's Eve dinner once a year, as long as the rules on the surface are good, the emperor will not be so harsh. Everyone pushes the cups and lamps, laughs and talks, and the lights and candles are changed twice, and the voices gradually fade away.

Concubine Zheng Gui has always been a thoughtful woman, and when she came back from the big banquet, she ordered someone to prepare a table for the New Year with the emperor alone.At the same time, a pair of children were called to sit in a group.Concubine Zheng had not only given birth to one son and one daughter, but the other children died young, and the grown-up children were also the emperor's most beloved prince and daughter because of the favor of the mother and concubine.King Fu has a handsome appearance, Princess Shouning is beautiful and smart, and his concubine Zheng is charming and charming. The emperor is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and the laughter is loud and happy.

The queen and others are used to this, and the queen mother doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

That night, the emperor naturally rested in Zheng Guifei's palace.

When he was about to fall asleep, an exclamation was heard in the silent palace: "It's flooded! Come and put out the fire!"

The emperor and Concubine Zheng woke up almost at the same time, raised the curtain and asked outside, "Where is the fire?"

The inner eunuch had already gone to inquire, and replied after a while: "I report to Your Majesty, it is Changchun Palace."

The emperor was shocked, the Changchun Palace was not far away, especially on New Year's Eve night... the emperor lost his sleepiness, and immediately dressed up and walked outside. Concubine Zheng cursed bad luck, and hurriedly changed clothes and followed.There is a palace gate, but there is a red fire in the direction of the Changchun Palace. Just looking at the posture, the fire is not small. The fire has already started in the palace, and the water tankers are constantly coming and going. The fire tends to decrease.

The courtiers who had not yet left the palace rushed to escort them, but they didn't dare to say a word in front of the fire in the Changchun Palace, for fear of offending the emperor.

Empress Dowager Li was alarmed and rushed over.

"Your Majesty, what's going on here? Why did you catch fire?" Empress Dowager Li eats fast all the year round and prays to Buddha, and this incident happened on New Year's Eve, so she was thinking too much.Before the emperor could reply, he hurriedly ordered people to check: "Hurry up and see if anyone is hurt."

If someone dies in the new year, it will not go well for the whole year.

However, the palace servant who was waiting for inspection came back with a very strange expression, knelt there just shivering, but didn't understand a word.The emperor looked annoyed and reprimanded coldly: "Say! How many people have been hurt?"

The emperor thought that the palace people were timid, just because death was bad luck, and he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied.

The head of the palace was extremely low, and this time the answer finally made it clear: "To the empress dowager and the emperor, His Royal Highness Fu Wang was injured, except for the two little maids who didn't have time to escape."

"Where is His Highness Fu injured?" Concubine Zheng became anxious when she heard that her son was injured, and the emperor was also worried, and the two hurried to Changchun Palace.The fire is now under control and not dangerous.

Empress Dowager Li frowned, thinking that this was not right, Changchun Palace was the residence of concubines, even if someone was injured, it should be the concubine's internal eunuch, how could it be King Fu?If the princes of this dynasty follow the usual practice, they should be crowned king at the age of ten, and then they should leave the palace and live in the mansion, and go to the vassal state at the latest at the age of 20.Now because the emperor loves the Zheng family and favors King Fu, not only did he delay the establishment of the crown prince last year to distribute the kings, but also let the princes who have already been crowned kings still live in the palace.The crown prince had the East Palace, Duanmu Palace, and the emperor arranged a place next to it, so that King Bin, King Fu, and King Rui who were over ten years old lived there, and the emperor's thoughts were clear at a glance.

King Fu is now sixteen. Although he is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has heard of King Fu's reputation to some extent.Thinking of a certain possibility, the Empress Dowager's face suddenly turned pale, her hands trembled slightly, and she could hardly stand up.

"Hurry up, stop the emperor!" The queen mother was afraid that the scandal would be leaked, and also worried that the emperor would not be able to bear the blow, so she hated Concubine Zheng to death.If this woman hadn't seduced the emperor and had bad intentions, the crown prince would have been established early, and the other princes would have gone and taken over the domain long ago, how would this happen today!

Regarding the queen mother's sudden order, the palace people didn't know why, and wanted to ask the emperor to stay for a while, but the emperor who was worried about his son had already entered the Changchun Palace with Zheng Guifei.

Concubine Zheng Guifei had lost a son earlier, so she knows the pain of losing a son. What's more, King Fu is not only her son, but also the capital for her to gain a foothold in the harem. Mistake.Concubine Zheng yelled King Fu's name, and ran towards King Fu who was lying on the ground, shedding tears of worry, while scolding the palace servants: "How can His Highness King Fu lie on the ground in such a cold day? What should I do if I get frozen? Where is my son injured? Is it important? Hurry up and send someone to send His Highness to my palace!"

The surrounding palace guards all looked very delicate, and one of them said: "The imperial concubine, please calm down, His Royal Highness Fu Wang injured his leg, and the servants and servants are worried that moving indiscriminately will aggravate the injury, so they dare not act recklessly. Now we are going to call for the imperial physician, who is coming soon." .”

Regardless of the body of Wan Jin, the emperor squatted in front of King Fu and examined it carefully, and followed the words of the palace man to check King Fu's legs.Only then did I realize that King Fu was wrapped in a large woolen cloak. When he lifted the cloak, he found that there were no strands of hair inside. It can't be heard by the two of them.

Concubine Zheng Gui saw the red marks left on King Fu's body. As someone who had been there, she knew why they were there. She was immediately ashamed, annoyed, and hated her son for not being up to date, but no matter how not up to the mark, he was the only son.Concubine Zheng is worthy of being immersed in the harem for many years, and she immediately responded. She quickly covered her cloak so as not to freeze her son, and angrily glanced at the palace people around her. Her eyes were as cold as a sharp knife, and she wanted to cut people's body. The meat was cut off: "Which lowly servant girl seduced His Highness?"

The cheap maid, in the mouth of Concubine Zheng, obviously refers to the palace maid.

As a rule, the maids in the palace belonged to the emperor, and the princes could not get their hands on the maids. However, King Fu was favored and was misinterpreted by Concubine Zheng as the maids who offered to seduce her. As long as the emperor did not pursue it, this matter was nothing.According to the previous emperor's posture of favoring Fu Wang, if this is the case, don't talk about one court lady, Fu Wang will do as long as ten.

The palace people knelt on the ground, but said nothing, and the atmosphere became more and more strange.

At this time the imperial doctor arrived, but he smelled something wrong and dared not go forward.

When the palace people knelt down, one place was particularly obvious. Not far from the place where King Fu lay, there was also a person lying there, dressed in the same way as King Fu.It was a beautiful young woman, wrapped in a red cloak, but because the maids were intimidated by Concubine Zheng, she didn't take care of it for a while, and one of the woman's arms slipped out of the cloak - a white, tender and smooth part Her small arms were obviously naked.

In ancient times, there were many rules for women, and no one would sleep naked. In addition to the same situation with a Fu Wang, as long as the brain is not stupid, it will be clear what is going on.It's not that King Fu didn't do it rigorously. Who knew that Changchun Palace happened to be flooded?Fu Wang was unlucky, he didn't escape in the panic, his leg was smashed by the collapsed Duobao Pavilion, and he was choked by the thick smoke. If the guards didn't find out, he might be buried in the sea of ​​fire tonight.

Concubine Zheng's eyelids twitched, she immediately went to see the emperor, her heart skipped a beat.

The emperor's face was gloomy at this time, but he didn't say a word. He scanned all the people in the palace with sinister eyes, and everyone felt a chill down their spines, feeling that their lives were over.But the emperor turned his gaze again, and saw the empress dowager and others who came, beside the empress dowager were the empress and many concubines, and the prince was leading the princes and daughters, even the royal clan and favorite ministers...

Even if the emperor wanted to silence him, he couldn't kill everyone present.

Concubine Zheng obviously knew that she had lost her composure. If such an unethical and scandalous incident really happened, no one would know that she would be able to rely on her favor to plead for mercy, but the emperor would lose all face in front of everyone...

"Come on, take that bitch..." The emperor gritted his teeth. Although he was angry with King Fu, he was his favorite son after all, and he was reluctant to take his life, so he directed all his anger on the woman.

The emperor was very impressed by this woman's face, but she had only been in the palace for two years, her status was low, and it was Concubine Zheng who spoke, so she was newly named Concubine Li.Originally thought that this Concubine Li was beautiful in appearance, gentle in temperament, knowledgeable and witty, and possessed a bit or two of the demeanor of Concubine Zheng when she was young, but who knew that she was so dissolute!

"Emperor!" At the critical moment, Empress Dowager Li uttered a voice and suppressed the emperor. The empress dowager walked up to him, glanced coldly at Concubine Zheng, stretched out her hand to hold the emperor's trembling hands, and said with deep meaning: "This child, King Fu, is spoiled!" I can't tell the priority of things. I drank too much wine tonight. I must have been pushed by someone. As soon as I saw the water, I ran to watch the fun. It was also because the people below didn't take good care of it, and Fu Wang was injured. It is reasonable This life cannot be saved, but thinking of New Year's Eve, seeing blood is unlucky, death penalty can be avoided, living crime cannot be escaped, everyone will be punished with fifty rods, and after the beating, they will be expelled from the palace."

The emperor calmed down after being interrupted by the empress dowager, knowing that the empress dowager was covering up this royal scandal, and she was telling it to everyone present, whether those people understood it or not, what happened tonight was exactly what the empress dowager said. It is reported that there is even a little bit of abnormality, and everyone can't escape the relationship!

Those so-called palace people who have made mistakes, not to mention whether they can live after fifty years of stick responsibility, even if they still have a small life, once they are expelled from the palace, who will know whether they will live or die in the future?However, all the people present have lived in the palace or officialdom for many years, how can we not know this custom?These palace people cannot escape death.Direct execution without being in the palace is firstly to deceive people, and secondly, it is not happy to dirty the palace during the new year.

Even if the queen mother who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, once she gets angry, the lives of these palace people are like ants in her eyes.

Zhu Changxu was very satisfied after seeing everything.

Although all this was in Zhu Changxu's plan, in fact he just ordered someone to set a fire.Fu Wang Zhu Changxun came to the Changchun Palace after the banquet, taking advantage of the wine, and threatened and lured Concubine Li.

Zhu Changxun fell in love with Xiaogong's daughter when he was eleven or twelve years old, and since he was 13 years old, there have been people who have been admired by Concubine Zheng, but for the sake of his health, Concubine Zheng did not allow him to indulge too much in femininity.But what kind of temperament is Fu Wang?He agreed to Zheng Guifei's confession, but turned around and continued to do his own thing. Now 16 years old, there are a dozen beauties in the backyard, and because he lives in the palace, many court ladies have been captured by him.Concubine Zheng had no choice but to execute those maids or drive them out of the palace by various means. There were also several King Fu begged for it, and asked the emperor to reward him.

Concubine Li has long taken a fancy to this Concubine Fu. In the past, she was worried that she was a concubine of the emperor. At most, she only dared to move her mouth and hands.Later, he spent long nights in the palace, unable to win the favor of the emperor, and seeing that Concubine Zheng was powerful and King Fu was expected to be the emperor, he couldn't help but feel condescending.

Fu Wang is a shrewd person, and he saw that Concubine Li had changed, which was one of the reasons why he came to pester her tonight.

Second, there is only Concubine Li as the main seat in this Changchun Palace.Originally, there were little nobles and talented servants who lived in the back hall of the side hall. Because King Fu had other ideas, he took advantage of the previous end of the year to seal the harem, implying that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was in charge, and moved those people out.The eunuch in charge thought it was Concubine Zheng's intention, even if it wasn't, King Fu's face would have to be given. As for King Fu's intention, the eunuch didn't think of such a treacherous thing, he only thought that Concubine Zheng wanted to use this concubine Li, and cared about it.

In this way, Zhu Changxun secretly sent someone to the side to hint a few words, the time and place are favorable for people, and Zhu Changxun was too kind, so he got into the trap at once, completely concealing the expected plan.Zhu Changxu glanced at King Fu who was still in a coma—his eyes moved, but they didn't open, which wasn't stupid. He knew that waking up at this time would never end well, so he could only pretend to be dizzy.

Empress Dowager Li sympathized with the emperor's mood, so she let the empress and prince leave.

Queen Wang has always kept her distance from Concubine Zheng, not to mention such a terrible private scandal, she hated herself for being fast, and would not have come if she had known.Although the prince is kind and kind, he is not stupid, just as the queen thinks.The others were eager to leave as soon as possible. With the Queen Mother's words, it was as if they had received an amnesty, and they left quickly.

The Empress Dowager naturally had a bad face towards Concubine Zheng: "Mr. Zheng, hurry up and send King Fu back to the palace!"

Concubine Zheng didn't dare to argue a word, she didn't even dare to look at the emperor, and quickly ordered someone to carry King Fu to her palace.She had to see how King Fu was injured, and she had to ask carefully what was going on tonight!Concubine Zheng Gui, who was full of worries and worries, was confused. The most important thing at this time was not what happened to King Fu, but to plead guilty to the emperor. Unfortunately, she missed the opportunity.

The emperor was not in the mood to talk to the concubine he always loved at the moment, his face was gloomy, he was a little bit lost and ashamed, he just felt that there was a fire in his heart, and he didn't know how to make it happen.

Know the child Moruo mother.

The Empress Dowager Li was afraid that he would get sick, so she asked the emperor to send her back to the palace with an excuse. Now, the seventeenth king of Bin is not young anymore, so he should go and become a feudal clan."

The emperor's face moved slightly, but he didn't speak a word, but in his heart he felt annoyed, and felt that what the empress dowager said was very true.

The queen mother sighed, patted his hand and said: "Fu Wang is sixteen years old, I am confused tonight, because I was spoiled by you and Mrs. Zheng. You, don't take this matter to heart, if you are sick It's down, the queen mother only has you as a son, isn't she going to cut out her heart. You are not going well, and after the New Year, how do you think about it? It's a matter of one sentence. "

This is also the empress dowager's hint that the emperor has more than one son, and there are others without King Fu.It stands to reason that King Fu is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager only hates iron, but she has no reason not to be in pain. She just doesn't like the Zheng family and hopes that the emperor will not be provoked and treat the prince better.

If she hadn't known that the emperor would not be able to let go of Concubine Zheng completely for a while, the queen mother would not have spared her lightly.Anyway, write down what happened this time first, it violated human relations, and made the emperor lose face, even if he loved her again, the mother and son will never get along again.

However, Concubine Zheng invited the imperial physician to treat King Fu's injuries, but what the imperial physician said made Concubine Zheng collapse.The imperial doctor actually said that King Fu's leg injury was too serious, and the bones inside were smashed. Even if he grows well, he may be disabled.

disabled?Slope? !

How can the king of a country be Pozi? !

Isn't this going to kill the desire to compete for the position!

Concubine Zheng was not reconciled, and Zhu Changxun was even more desperate.Zheng Guifei strictly ordered the imperial physician not to speak out about this matter, and she must wholeheartedly treat King Fu, using the best medicine, whatever works.Seeing Concubine Zheng's ferocious face, the imperial physician was also afraid of Concubine Zheng's favor, so he obeyed.

Due to the changes on New Year's Eve, the taste of the festive New Year has changed.

The sky was bright, and Concubine Zheng finally learned about her affair with Concubine Li from her son. King Fu did not lie to his mother, but he avoided the seriousness and only said that he was drunk tonight and was confused for a while.Concubine Zheng first scolded him angrily, but when she saw the light outside the window, she suddenly came to her senses - she had ignored the emperor!

Concubine Zheng hurriedly called the maids to come in to help change clothes and freshen up, but she paused again, and took a look in the mirror. At this time, she was worried and anxious due to a sleepless night, her complexion was dark and her expression was haggard.In the past, she would have to tidy up and brighten up before going to face Sheng, but now... this look is just right.

Concubine Zheng's eyes turned cold, she quickly thought about the countermeasures, and then explained it carefully to King Fu, and said, "Do you remember?"

Zhu Changxun was a little embarrassed: "Concubine mother, my leg...isn't this a problem for the strong? What if I really have a good or bad..."

"With Nanny Sun here, what are you afraid of!" It's not that Concubine Zheng doesn't feel sorry for her son, but because of the current situation, the only way to survive is to put him to death!

Seeing her resolute words, Zhu Changxun could only obey.

Concubine Zheng not only delayed, she got up and pulled out the hairpin on her head, her hair was loose, and she was wearing a hooded cloak, and rushed to the emperor's bedroom.If it wasn't for the fact that what happened last night could not be made public, she was afraid that the action would be too big to attract comments and make the emperor even more annoyed.With this sincerity, the emperor felt more distressed when he recalled the old relationship, and then the big things could be reduced to small ones. After a year or two, the things faded away, and the past was over.

Last night the emperor tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep when the sun was shining. The eunuch Yang Jin guarded the gate of the palace with his own eyes, not allowing anyone or any sound to disturb the emperor.Unexpectedly, when Yang Jin's eyes were dazed, he suddenly saw Concubine Zheng coming over, he was shocked, and immediately treated him seriously.

In the past, Yang Jin would naturally flatter Concubine Zheng, but after what happened last night, even if he didn't offend him, he wouldn't be very affectionate, especially since the emperor's anger has not dissipated.

"Dare to ask Eunuch Yang, is the emperor inside?" Concubine Zheng asked knowingly, but the implication was to inquire about the emperor's situation.Concubine Zheng was talking, and the palace maid next to her glanced at a purse on the ground, which contained a full 200 taels of silver bills.

If Yang Jin had accepted it in the past and sold it well, he would not dare today.

"Imperial concubine, the emperor has just rested." Yang Jin pushed his purse, no matter how polite his words were, the implication was very obvious.He didn't want to be disturbed by Concubine Zheng, let alone report it.

Concubine Zheng Gui has never been obstructed like this since she entered the palace to be favored.Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Concubine Zheng stopped talking, took off her cloak and knelt in front of the palace gate.

Yang Jin was dumbfounded: Concubine Zheng Gui is here to plead guilty!

Yang Jin was in a dilemma, not sure what the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Zheng was, should he inform her?

Concubine Zheng is used to being pampered. After kneeling for a while, her knees hurt and her body wobbles. In addition, it is cold today, and the floor is covered with stone slabs. Drill hard into the bone.After finally staying up for half an hour, her complexion was pale, her lips were blue, and she couldn't stop trembling slightly.

"Empress! Imperial concubine empress! It's not good! It's not good!" Finally, the voice of redemption came, and Sun Nanny ran over panting and panicking, even ignoring that she was in the emperor's bedroom. Kneeling on the ground, he struggled and shouted in the direction of Concubine Zheng: "His Royal Highness Fu has hanged himself! Your Majesty!"

"What? My son..." Concubine Zheng was originally acting, but when she stood up suddenly, she was top-heavy, with double shadows in her eyes, and fell down with a bang.

Such a loud sound woke up the emperor in the palace.

The emperor was annoyed at first, but when he heard that King Fu had hanged himself, he came out in shock: "Quick! Send the imperial physician!"

After all, it was his son whom he had loved for more than ten years, the emperor forgot the humiliation and anger last night for a moment.

Seeing Concubine Zheng's mother and son want to make a comeback, how can Zhu Changxu, who is secretly watching everything, let it go?At this time, it has been reported outside the palace that on New Year’s Eve, King Fu fainted the emperor with anger. There is no specific explanation for why the emperor was fainted, but the people will make up their minds, and all kinds of "inside stories" emerge one after another, and even one or two of them are different from the facts. not far.After intentionally passing this matter to the ears of the queen mother in the palace, the queen mother knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer.

The queen mother asked the emperor to be informed of the matter in detail.

The emperor looked at King Fu lying on the bed, and because of the timely rescue, King Fu was fine.As for how King Fu climbed onto a stool and hanged himself after his leg was injured... the emperor didn't bother to investigate.The emperor knew the rumors outside the palace, and was afraid that the inside story would be revealed last night, otherwise he would lose face as an emperor, and even if the ministers got the news, King Fu would be in danger.So, the emperor made up his mind.No matter how much he loves King Fu, what happened last night hurt the emperor's heart. Furthermore, King Fu has a leg problem and can no longer compete for the throne, so it's better to go to the vassal state.

Luoyang, the fiefdom chosen for King Fu at the beginning, was the best among the princes, and he couldn't be wronged if he went to the fiefdom.

The emperor was reluctant to kill King Fu, and hated him when he saw him, so he simply came out of sight.

Concubine Zheng Gui had been with the emperor for more than ten years, and if she had seen the emperor's expression, she would have known that she was going to suffer, but she had suffered the cold when she went to ask for forgiveness, her body was weak and could not bear it, and now she has fallen ill.Afterwards, Concubine Zheng lived quietly to recuperate from her illness, King Fu moved back to her bedroom, and the emperor often rewarded her. Although she never saw the mother and child again, she only thought that her anger could not be dissipated for a while.Once whispered privately, the emperor promised Concubine Zheng that he would make his son the crown prince in the future, but now he has to renege on his promise.

If Concubine Zheng didn't know this, she thought she was sure, and when things calmed down in a few days, the emperor would eventually come to her, and then she would use her tricks, and there would be no need to worry about King Fu's affairs.

However, Concubine Zheng's illness is getting worse and worse, and it is always difficult to recover.

King Fu had suffered enough to heal his legs, and even the prince could hear King Fu's wailing every day in Duanmu Palace.Zhu Changluo naturally didn't like King Fu's younger brother, and hated and feared Concubine Zheng Gui. Now that he saw the situation of the mother and son, he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or emotional.

Regarding the inside story of the fire, Zhu Changxu did not tell anyone, including the prince.Therefore, what he did to Concubine Zheng's condition is even less known.
