The desolation of the water waves that day was like fireworks in the sky for a moment, disappearing in a blink of an eye.After thinking about it, Daiyu finally didn't open her mouth to inquire, and just buried it in her heart for the time being.

Since Fu Guogong was severely reprimanded by Emperor Yongqing face to face for recommending the canonization of the prince, then the veterans headed by the Zhen family began to impeach them one after another, and they were piled up on the dragon case in Mingde Hall like snowflakes. It is said that Emperor Yongqing read it After a few copies, he was furious, and sent out several former officials of the Meng family, some of whom were relegated and fined.

Not only that, but Kun Ning Palace also couldn't escape being implicated, and became desolate.On the contrary, Concubine Zhen's Yonghe Palace became the place where the emperor stepped into most often, and the palace was originally a place where people who praised the high and stepped down were naturally scrambling to flatter and flatter.

Meng Yuyu was still calm, watching the people coming and going with almost no joy or sorrow, the only time when Daiyu brought Shuihan into the palace was that she could show a warm smile.

The two were still talking about housework and human relations. Shui Han was holding a big Buddha's hand and playing with it. Meng Yuyu focused on the happy child and said, "The little princess is four years old now, and my sister has no plans to ask for another one." Majesty?"

Daiyu never thought about this, even Sister Feng reminded her several times.However, Shui Lan has been busy with government affairs in the past two years, and has been away from the capital for most of the time. Although they are very helpless, they have been unable to conceive.This time when Meng Yuyu suddenly mentioned it, Daiyu concealed her slight disappointment, half mocking herself: "I don't have the good fortune of being a concubine, I really feel ashamed of my lord."

Meng Yuyu stared at her for a long time, then suddenly let out a long sigh, and said with all her heart: "In terms of luck, there is no one better than my younger sister. Prince Lian loves his concubine, and everyone in the capital doesn't know that? Speaking of which, only elder sister envies you. "While speaking, he took out a thin piece of paper from the hidden compartment, and smiled softly: "My sister is still young, this is the prescription for confinement prescribed by the imperial hospital. You can count the days and drink two doses later, or there may be accidents." happiness."

Daiyu accepted it with a nod, somewhat eager to try in her heart, thinking that maybe she could really add a younger brother to Xiao Xiangyu, she couldn't help being shy and timid.Seeing her like this, Meng Yuyu was about to make fun of her when she heard a group of people coming in in front of the courtyard gate, and the lady in charge of the palace had already greeted her out.

After a while and still not dispersing, Meng Yuyu looked quietly through the window, and actually led a team of inner guards to surround the Kunning Palace densely, and seeing that the momentum was not good, she couldn't help feeling suspicious.Daiyu also frowned secretly, and saw that the female official was sweating, and hurriedly reported back: "I want to report to your empress, the eunuch Xia who came from outside said that it was ordered by the emperor, and I respectfully ask you to take care of yourself in Kunning Palace."

As soon as the words fell, the smile on her lips disappeared immediately, Meng Yuyu restrained her face and said coldly: "I have something else to say together, what does it look like."

The female officer secretly took a look at the queen's expression, and said in a whisper: "The emperor also said that he will not be summoned in the future, and no one in Kunning Palace will be allowed to take half a step."

Daiyu was taken aback when she heard this, but Meng Qiaoyu just said "Oh" and waved her back.In turn, he regained his former dignified appearance and said with a smile to Daiyu: "Your Majesty means to imprison me until the end of the previous court. We don't know when we will see you next time. I hope my sister will pay more attention to you." Treasure, the son of the Timing family will spread its branches and leaves early."

Seeing this, Daiyu felt chills in her heart. After all, the queen had just given birth to the prince, and the emperor was so heartless.But now it's useless to talk too much, they left after entrusting each other once, who would have thought that going would be really a farewell.

Here, Kunning Palace was put under house arrest in a disguised form, not daring to take more than one step.In no time the news spread throughout the Six Palaces, and some people who came to visit in amazement were blocked, and some people who had been at odds with the Meng family on a regular basis were even more gloating when they saw it. They were all angry and bitter, helpless but had nowhere to complain, so they had to live behind closed doors.

For this, Daiyu often complained to Shuilan, and said indignantly: "The queen's mother honors the world, and she gave birth to two princes for her majesty. This trumped-up crime has already put the dignified queen under house arrest in the palace, what a shame."

Shui Lan sighed, and explained in a low voice: "Everyone understands this truth. I watched it coldly. Since the emperor passed away, our emperor's suspicion has become more and more serious. Whenever he touches the slightest bit of imperial power, he will be sensitive. It's terrible, besides, this time, Duke Fu made a mess, and made the queen suffer in the palace for no reason. However, the queen mother is the queen's biological aunt, so this matter may not be completely resolved, it depends on how the queen mother handles it."

The Empress Dowager was furious when she first heard the news, but after decades of immersion in the court, she certainly noticed that Emperor Yongqing is different now, so she had to force herself to calm down and not explode immediately, but Zhen's pregnancy is in the limelight. Sheng, falling into the Queen Mother's eyes will inevitably be thorny.On this day, Emperor Yongqing took the opportunity to reprimand Fu Guogong again in the previous court. It happened that Concubine Zhen went to Shouning Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

When Concubine Zhen arrived, the Empress Dowager was doing her makeup, and she didn't intend to stop when she saw Concubine Zhen arrived. Instead, she tidied up in front of the mirror slowly, untied her combed hair, and asked the serving maid to use a comb dipped in sweet-scented osmanthus water to blow it gently. On the head of the grate, tie up the bun again, and then insert the same color of sapphire blue dot emerald and Dongzhu jewelry, folding a circle of dull luster.

Even though she was well aware of the empress dowager's difficulties, as the woman with the highest status in the harem, Concubine Zhen still did not dare to neglect her in the slightest. With her eight-month pregnant belly, she followed the rules and bowed down to invite Wanfu Jinan.

The queen mother didn't even look at her, she just looked at the figure in the bronze mirror, held up the red gold jadeite earrings by her ears, and said in a casual way: "Seeing your foxy face, the Ai family will be ashamed." I've lost my appetite, and I'll return Wanfu Jin'an from there." The hand holding the tourmaline Buddha beads suddenly lifted, and pointed to the palace gate: "Kneel outside, don't get up without mourning the family, don't dirty the place Son."

Concubine Zhen raised her head in astonishment, and the maidservant next to her kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I beg your empress dowager to be merciful! Our mother's month is coming, and if there is any mistake in the dragonborn, the servants and maids can't bear it."

The queen mother raised her eyebrows, and a female official came forward and slapped her twice, and two red and swollen handprints appeared on the maid's face, and just now she heard a cold laugh from above: "There are no rules, as expected, what kind of master has What kind of slave. You can only kneel on the left and right, and the child is not made of tofu, so why not go out?"

As soon as Concubine Zhen knelt down, she had already alarmed the maids and eunuchs in the palace, and some of them were afraid of killing people, so they rushed out to spread the word to Mingde Hall.Therefore, what Emperor Yongqing saw when he came was a ray of bright morning light slanting in, reflecting the side face of Concubine Zhen even more gorgeously, and I don't know how long she had been kneeling, her cheeks were bright red, dripping with sweat, but biting The lips are pressed against each other, but they are not convincing.

Emperor Yongqing's heart, as if soaked in vinegar, instantly became sore and limp.No longer caring about many rules, he stepped forward and hugged her horizontally, and walked towards Mingde Hall without looking back. Behind him was the panic-stricken inner eunuch. Seeing such a situation, he had no idea and could only follow the truth. The queen mother reported.

In this way, the Empress Dowager even avoided the morning and evening appointments of Emperor Yongqing, and ordered Yizhi to refuse to be rude in the Shouning Palace.As soon as this news came out, even the previous dynasty was disturbed. It is necessary to know that there is nothing like the word filial piety in the world, and now it has always advertised that filial piety is the rule of the world, but now it does not hesitate to offend the biological mother for a favored concubine.

One day, Daiyu was sitting teaching Shuihan how to play nets, when Zijuan came in suddenly, with tears in her eyes, and replied, "Miss, a message just came that the empress is dead."

When Daiyu heard this, she was just in a daze, the net in her hand fell to the ground, her eye circles turned red, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Is the news true? How could it be? The second prince is still here, the queen, she ..."

Just as he was talking, Shui Lan also came in, with a very dignified expression, patted Daiyu on the shoulder and said, "The empress is gone, let's go to the palace in a while." As he said, he sighed again: "This year is also the same. For some reason, there are funerals happening one after another in the palace. Zijuan, tidy up for Madam, so as not to delay a few hours, prepare something first."

Daiyu had already cried like tears, and wiped away her tears and asked: "The empress is a very good young and intelligent woman, she didn't hear that she was suffering from any illness, why did she die for no apparent reason? The lord knows the reason."

Shui Lan stopped and looked back, Zijuan hurriedly went out to close the door.Shui Lan thought for a while, and then said slowly: "The second prince was infected with acne, and he died in the middle of the night last night. The emperor was very sad, and sent someone to pick up the queen this morning. He hanged himself in Kunning Palace."

Daiyu was silent when she heard this, because she thought: Ordinary people can't bear the pain of losing two sons in a row, but this incident is strange at first sight, who broke the news to Kunning Palace?

Seeing that Daiyu just kept silent, Shui Lan hugged her shoulders and comforted her softly: "I know what you think. Although I didn't ask anyone to investigate, there are ten times that someone leaked it on purpose, and they will kill you." Empress. The emperor probably knows about it too, but the matter has come to an end, and Concubine Zhen has just given birth to the emperor's daughter, so it's a pity that two lives have been lost."

After hearing these words, Daiyu thought of Meng Yuyu's voice and smile again, and couldn't stop crying: "She is the queen of a country, can't she even ask for justice when she dies?"

These words touched the matter of Empress Dugu, Shui Lan drooped her long eyelashes, suppressed even the sadness in her eyes, and sighed: "Yu'er, the prosperity and noise of the Daming Palace are exposed to the outside for others to see, only this No matter whether the emperor's actions are inappropriate or not, Duke Fu has already touched the bottom line of imperial power, and the matter of establishing an heir has always been the most sensitive matter, no matter whether the person who does it is Concubine Zhen or someone else, the empress and the second prince His death is inextricably related to what the Meng family did, since ancient times, the dominance of foreign relatives has not come to a good end."

Daiyu didn't answer any more, she just felt sad from her heart, as if the raging fire in July couldn't stop the cold that went straight into her limbs and bones, her whole body felt unbearably sad for a while.

The author has something to say: the queen is a good woman, and her death will make Daiyu realize the other side of the court.
