sick princess

The strong smell of medicine permeated the entire Fengyi Palace, and the imperial doctors came wave after wave, shaking their heads, sighing, everyone's complexion was heavy.Even the eunuchs and maids in Fengyi Palace subconsciously lowered their steps, for fear of disturbing their master who was in a bad mood.

When the prince came, what he saw was such a scene.He walked in a hurry, with a murderous look in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, showing its sharpness.

"How is your sister?"

He stopped a passing doctor and asked.

The imperial doctor said with a sad face: "The princess's condition is probably not good. The princess fell from such a high place, even if Lan Shizi and his book boy stood in the way of the princess, they were inevitably injured. Just weak, with injuries on his body, and frightened. Now he has a high fever and is unconscious. I'm afraid it's..."

"Gu knows that on weekdays, when you diagnose and treat noble people, you will say that three-point illnesses will be seven-point. I don't listen to these, I only look at the final results! You must rescue your sister, otherwise, even if you are just An unfavorable prince can find ways to deal with you!"

After finishing speaking, the prince ignored the imperial physician and went straight in.

In the sleeping hall, the prince saw his sister lying on the bed unconsciously, her small face was pale, her long and thick eyelashes drooping quietly, like a dying butterfly.There wasn't a trace of blood on Baoluo's lips, if it wasn't for her weak breathing, he wouldn't even be sure that she was still alive.

Empress Xu was sitting in front of Baoluo's bed, sobbing softly, tears dripping down her robe embroidered with intricate patterns.She didn't even dare to cry loudly, lest the person on the bed would be frightened.

"Mother."

As soon as the prince made a sound, Empress Xu rushed over like a drowning person, pulled his sleeve and said eagerly: "Why do those people refuse to let us go, why do they want to hurt my Baoluo! I have already given in At this point, why are they still dissatisfied! Otherwise, or I will give them back the right to rule the Six Palaces, okay! As long as they don’t do anything to you, I can do whatever they want!”

Even when she was so emotional, she didn't forget to keep her voice down.

The prince let Empress Xu vent his emotions. This young man with a slightly green face seemed to be able to use his immature shoulders to bear the expectations of his mother and sister, and shelter them from the wind and rain.

"Concession is useless. Mother, from the time you took the position of queen, we have no other way to go except to fight. For me, the only way to die is for a son who cannot succeed! For my sister As far as the nest is concerned, under the overturned nest, there will be eggs!"

"The empress mother is the empress of the main palace. The power of commanding the six palaces belongs to the empress mother. It is the imperial concubine who is ambitious and has seized the power that belongs to the empress mother. Now that this power has returned to the real master, it is time for the empress mother to let it go." They understand who is the real master of the harem!"

"But, but your sister..." Empress Xu wholeheartedly thought that if there was no matter of the power of the Six Palaces, maybe this time Baoluo would not have encountered such a matter.

"Don't the queen understand that no matter whether we have power in our hands or not, as long as we still occupy an orthodox position, we will be regarded as thorns in the flesh by those people! Only when we hold power firmly in our hands can we save ourselves! If The queen mother has sufficient control over the harem, and those with ulterior motives simply cannot murder my sister under the mother's nose!"

The ear-shattering words of the crown prince obviously shocked Empress Xu greatly.Empress Xu stared blankly at the prince, and after a while, she said: "You...you are right. The queen mother can no longer cede the power of commanding the six palaces to them. Not only that, but the queen mother still needs to do it bit by bit. The imperial concubine's wings buried in the palace will be cut off, so that they can never harm us again."

"The empress knows that it is the empress who is incapable, which makes you and your sister so tired that you have to plan every possible way at such a young age. When you think of your sister being pushed down from such a high place, the empress really..."

If it wasn't for Bi Yao who felt something was wrong after being dismissed, he asked Lan Chengyu who was passing by for help.When Lan Chengyu and his book boy arrived, they happened to catch Baoluo, and they were afraid that Baoluo would die on the spot.

"My sister will wake up. My sister didn't die at that time, which means that my sister's life should not die." The prince said in a firm tone: "My son has sent someone to invite the national teacher. Back then, my sister suffered a disaster for the father and the emperor, and she almost survived." But in the past, the national teacher saved my sister's life with a dose of decoction. With the national teacher, my sister will be safe and sound."

When mentioning the national teacher, Empress Xu's eyes lit up, but immediately, the light dimmed again: "The national teacher has been living in seclusion for a long time in Sichuan. Even if we find him, I don't know when we can bring him back." Beijing."

"My son believes that everything depends on human effort."

"For the sake of Baoluo, no matter what, I have to give it a try."

Knowing that Baoluo's recovery is hopeful, Empress Xu also felt concerned about other things: "By the way, the person who murdered Baoluo has been found?"

"After learning that Baoluo was pushed down the steps, my father was very angry. I found out all the people on duty in Qianyuan Palace and searched them one by one. When my sister fell down, she was holding a Cutting off the eunuch’s belt happened to meet the three eunuchs.” A chill flashed in the prince’s eyes: “It is said that he was accidentally caught by a tree branch in the imperial garden and scratched the belt a little... But the timing is so coincidental, who can’t tell me? letter!"

"It must be the murderer who dragged the other people into the water, trying to confuse the public!" Empress Xu also said.

"Just now, I have sent someone to investigate the three eunuchs, and I found something very interesting. Among the three eunuchs, one is the queen mother, one is the imperial concubine, and the other is Zhuang. The imperial concubine's person... I am afraid that the father would not have thought that so many people would be placed around him, right? The place where the sister was injured was not far from the Qianyuan Palace. The person behind the scenes has been found out, otherwise, there will be no face in the future!"

A sarcasm flashed in the prince's eyes.

It is difficult for these women to bury the nails so deep.If it wasn't a last resort, come to think of it, the real mastermind behind the scenes would not easily use this nail.After all, it is not an easy task to cultivate such a nail.

However, after experiencing the Baoluo incident, Qianyuan Palace must be cleaned up and down.Emperor Zhaode didn't dare to keep those double-hearted people by his side.

Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Zhuang Gui placed people beside Emperor Zhaode, which definitely violated the taboo of Emperor Zhaode. I am afraid that life will be difficult for a while.As for the Empress Dowager, she is only Emperor Zhaode's aunt and not his biological mother. Emperor Zhaode has always been more than respectful to the Empress Dowager, but not close enough.The aunt's placing someone next to the concubine... No matter what, it always makes people have to think about it.

"Don't worry, queen mother, since that man has done this, he will always show his feet. My son will definitely not let him go!"

When Empress Xu and the crown prince were discussing this matter, in Duke An's mansion, Duke Ango and Mrs. An Guogong were also discussing this matter.

"... I don't know who killed a thousand swords. A person as young as the Longevity Princess can be so ruthless. When Cheng Yu and his book boy were sent back, the book boy's bones were broken. We promise Although Yu is better, he still can't get out of bed now. If Princess Longevity fell directly, the consequences would be disastrous."

An Guogong's family has a clean and upright family style, and there is no such thing as taking concubines at all.The ancestors felt that most of the big families declined because of the disputes in the inner chambers, so they stipulated that children in the clan should be over 35 years old and have no children before they can take concubines.With this stipulation, most of the heirs of An Guogong's mansion are born of his first wife.This generation spends half of the year at the border during the fair days of Anguo, and has no intention of being a woman. Therefore, the back house of Duke Anguo's mansion is quite clean.

It has been a long time since Mrs. An Guogong has seen the chaos of life and death fighting for interests.

The last time Princess Longevity fell into the water, it could barely be called an accident and the negligence of servants.This time, there was not even a fig leaf to be found.

"The royal family has always had a lot of disputes. The emperor's doting on his concubine and destroying his wife has even planted the source of disaster for the family. In the future, such things will probably still be unavoidable." An Guogong said sharply.

"Hey, I don't know what the emperor thinks. Although the empress was chosen by the regent for the emperor, there is nothing wrong with the emperor. Because of the emperor, the queen's mother's family was feared by the regent and had to resign Retirement. Seeing that the empress's mother's family has contributed to the emperor's pro-government, no matter how dissatisfied the emperor is with the empress, he should not praise the imperial concubine everywhere, and embarrass the empress." As the official wife, An Guogong Madam is naturally on the side of Queen Xu.

"The emperor is quite wise in government affairs, but he is not good enough in terms of female sex. It can only be said that no one is perfect." After all, women and men have different perspectives on issues.An Guogong's wife would complain about Queen Xu, but An Guogong would not.

"By the way, ma'am, aren't you angry that Chengyu was injured by Princess Longevity this time?" Duke An suddenly asked cautiously.

"Are you angry with Princess Changshou? It's pitiful enough for the princess to be plotted and murdered at a young age. How could I be angry with her? I can't blame the princess for this matter. If you want to live, I will It's also angry with the person behind him who has rotted his heart."

"That's good. Just now, Empress Xu and His Royal Highness brought some gifts over, thanking Chengyu for saving Princess Longevity. Since you're not angry, I'll let someone carry it in."

"It's up to you. By the way, have you caught the man behind the scenes? You hurt my son, so don't just let it go!"

"The palace is currently undergoing trial, the emperor is really angry this time..."

"The emperor's ears are a little soft in the harem, and he is afraid that some people will get away with it." Mrs. An Guogong was worried.

"If something goes wrong, the people in the East Palace will not keep silent. Don't look at the prince who is young, but he is capable." An Guogong said firmly.
