First Concubine

Chapter 247 Sister in danger (2)

Yue'e hugged the little princess, and Zhifan hugged her brother tightly. Their faces turned pale with fright, and the guards did not dare to step forward. Near them were the elegant Concubine Yan, who was dressed in a deep purple palace dress, and the charming Concubine Li, who was wearing a sapphire blue palace dress. Concubine Li was about to give birth, holding her waist with one hand and supporting her belly with the other. Both of them looked pale. Great looking.

Concubine Li glared at Concubine Yan fiercely, full of disgust and disgust.

Concubine Yan seemed oblivious, looking at the concubine arrogantly, and said sternly: "Concubine, if you have something to say, please let the child go first."

The imperial concubine sneered and looked at everyone present as if she were watching the funniest joke in the world, "Can I survive if I let her go? Yan Zhen, have you read too many stories?"

Yan Fei's face changed slightly, and she pretended to be calm and said: "I'll make an exchange with her, and it's the same if you hold me hostage."

"Hahahaha..." The imperial concubine laughed, "Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen, how thick-skinned do you need to be so hypocritical as you? Who pushed Miss Zhuge in front of me?"

Yan Feisu shook her hand and her voice became colder, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The imperial concubine smiled, "Am I talking nonsense? Ask them, am I talking nonsense?"

Yue'e and Zhi Fan both lowered their heads. Before the incident, they were playing a blindfolded game on the grass. It happened to be the sister's turn to be blindfolded. They spread out and hid behind the flowers, making various noises. This kind of sound attracts my sister. The little princess was so amused that she ran up to the elder sister trying to seduce her to take off her scarf, which would be considered a loss. However, the elder sister did not give in, so she chased the little princess around according to the sound. At this moment, the noble concubine suddenly jumped out of nowhere and rushed towards the two children without saying a word. The elder sister was covered with a cloth and couldn't understand the situation, and the little princess was too young to have any sense of crisis, so she just watched dully as the dowager's claws reached out to them. Soon enough, Concubine Yan rushed over and picked up the little princess. Then her skirt fluttered and passed in front of her sister. When they looked over there again, Concubine Yan had already seen her sister. Got it in hand. Therefore, if they are asked to testify, it must be Concubine Yan who pushed her sister into the hands of Concubine Gui.

Concubine Li glared at Concubine Yan impatiently, "It's all your fault! Miss Zhuge has fallen into the hands of thieves. Let me see how you explain it to the Queen!"

Concubine Yan shouted coldly: "Li Wan, don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bingbing rushed over like a hurricane and slapped Concubine Yan hard in the face without any explanation. The clear sound shocked everyone, and even the crying sister stopped her voice at once.

Concubine Yan covered her hot, swollen right face and looked at Bingbing in disbelief, who had always been gentle, but now she seemed to have changed into a different person, "Empress, why did you beat my concubine?"

Bingbing's chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes almost burst out with fire, "You actually pushed Miss Zhuge to the thief. If I don't beat you, who will I hit? Do you know that Linglong is so angry that she faints! She is the best in this palace. My friend, if there is something wrong between her and Miss Zhuge, Concubine Yan, I will ask you to risk your life!"

The imperial concubine squinted her eyes, Shui Linglong actually fainted?

Concubine Yan retorted sternly: "I didn't! I was just too anxious to save the little princess, so I couldn't take care of Miss Zhuge! When I came back to my senses, Miss Zhuge had been kidnapped by the imperial concubine! I also thought just now Swap it with Miss Zhuge and be the hostage yourself!"

The imperial concubine said with a smile: "That's not what I saw. It was obviously you who picked up the third princess and pushed Miss Zhuge. In fact, it was the third princess who I wanted to kidnap, but you did it. Intervene and give me a hostage."

Concubine Li also said angrily: "Stop being an afterthought, Concubine Yan, if you really want to save people, why don't you stop the concubine yourself? You have time to take the little princess away, why don't you rush up and compete with the concubine? I I heard that before you entered the palace, you proposed to learn various crafts from the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess rejected her outright. You shouldn’t hold a grudge from now on!"

Concubine Yan was so angry that she raised her eyebrows, "Li Wan!"

Bingbing shouted sharply: "Yan Zhen! She is pregnant, what do you mean by yelling at her? You are really getting more and more confused about your identity! You and Concubine Li are on an equal footing, so what right do you have to yell at her?"

The imperial concubine watched them quarreling with each other, her face flushed, and her heart was extremely happy, "I said, after you have finished arguing, do you want me to have some free time to deal with specific matters?"

Bingbing frowned and looked at her, "I'm warning you, Princess Zhuge, let Miss Zhuge go immediately. In the name of Queen Zhou, I promise you that no one will embarrass you because of everything today! Even the Emperor and the Queen Mother, I I will also try my best to persuade you not to give up on the bright road and ruin your future!"

The imperial concubine smiled, "Self-destructing my future? If I continue to stay in the palace, I will really self-destruct my future! At this age, I don't care about anything. I just want to have my children around my knees and take care of myself. It's a shame that you guys will I am under house arrest in the Palace of Supreme Harmony and I am not allowed to see my son or grandson. What else can I do if I stay in the palace? After all, these are the evil consequences you have planted!"

Bingbing’s face turned pale and she said, “What do you want, tell me quickly!”

The imperial concubine's smile remained unchanged, but for some reason, in broad daylight, she was dressed properly and her face was red with a smile, but she looked a little creepy, "Let me out of the palace to live my life!"

Bingbing dismissed it sternly, "What a joke! There is no precedent in the history of the Zhou Dynasty for a concubine to leave the palace to take care of her old age. Where do you put the royal dignity? Where do you put the three princes? Aren't you afraid that the emperor and the ministers will do this? Do you suspect he has rebellious intentions?"

The imperial concubine's hairpin pressed another centimeter into the sister's skin. There was no bleeding, but it could be seen that the hairpin was indeed in contact with the skin. Bingbing's heart clenched and she said uncontrollably, "No." !”

 “Wow…” Sister cried again.

On the other side, in a forest with higher terrain, Shui Linglong cocked an arrow and aimed at the back of the imperial concubine. In her previous life, she was a very good archer, even when she was lying in the snow on a sniper mission. Never failed. She used to be very confident in her archery skills, but now, her heartbeat began to speed up, because the enemy was holding her daughter in his hands, and if she didn't do it right, her daughter would be accidentally injured.

Shui Linglong took a deep breath and integrated her consciousness into the world. She felt that the arrow in her hand was as full of vitality as her heartbeat. Then she fully drew the bow and suddenly let go.

The arrow was like a rainbow, piercing the sky, as if it was splitting a crack in the invisible void.

Bingbing's heart was in her throat, but she didn't dare to look in the direction of Shui Linglong. She could only stare at the concubine and her sister. The sister cried loudly, and she was so anxious that she broke into a cold sweat, "You're so scary." It’s time to have a child, your concubine! You are also a mother, can you show some sympathy to the child? I will convey your request to the emperor! Don’t be impatient..."

Before she finished speaking, the imperial concubine's body trembled violently, as if a pair of huge hands pushed her back. She stumbled forward, and the strength of her hands loosened, and she was thrown away. go out.

 Bingbing and Yao Xin rushed to Sister'er at the same time, Yao Xin caught Sister'er, and Bingbing pulled the two of them back quickly. Here, the imperial concubine stabilized her body, held back the pain in her back, and waved her hairpin to stab them randomly, but the Imperial Guards would not let her succeed. They swarmed forward, and when her hairpin was about to prick, When she was the queen of a country, she penetrated her body with a sharp sword.

Concubine Li was so frightened when she saw the imperial concubine lying in a pool of blood that she immediately felt a heat in her legs and abdomen, and amniotic fluid flowed down.

Bingbing looked at the skirt of her skirt that was instantly soaked, and her expression suddenly changed, "The imperial doctor! Concubine Li is about to give birth!"

In order to save her sister, Yao Xin twisted her arm. Fortunately, it was not serious. The imperial doctor prescribed some medicine for bruises.

Shui Linglong held her daughter, who was still in shock and refused to come down from her arms, and left the palace before Yunli entered the harem. Before leaving, she left Bingbing a note.

 Bingbing sat in the hall outside the delivery room, opened Shui Linglong's note, looked at the four big words "heartless" on it, and her breath froze in her chest for a moment.

On the carriage, Yao Xin held her sleeping brother in her arms and asked Shui Linglong: "The princess said that the person she wanted to kidnap was actually the little princess."

Shui Linglong shook her head, "She doesn't want to kidnap anyone, she just wants to die." As long as she dies, the third prince will no longer have any weakness in the hands of the Queen Mother or Yunli, "The capital is going to change."

Back at the palace, Anping was waiting for Shui Linglong at the second entrance. Yao Xin saw that Shui Linglong had something to do, so he took the first step. Shui Linglong said gratefully: "Thank you very much for today."

Yao Xin smiled casually, "It's nothing, no one would stand by and watch."

The two said goodbye, and Anping reported the information he had found out truthfully: "Prince Concubine, I went to all the major restaurants to ask, but I couldn't find any clues. These rumors have been circulating for several days, and it is difficult to trace them back to the source. However, I But he asked a little beggar on the roadside for news. He said that a woman in red wearing a bamboo hat had given him a lot of broken silver and asked him to talk about the rumors with his companions in the noisy street so that the passers-by would listen. arrive."

 The woman in red wearing a bamboo hat? Shui Linglong blinked, "I know."

"Do you need me to continue the investigation?" Anping asked.

Shui Linglong shook her head, "No need. Now everyone knows about the trouble between the madam, the princess and the prince. The other party has achieved its goal and will not come out to wait for arrest again." After saying that, Shui Linglong hugged her sister and wanted to give her a hug. After leading his brother Zhifan back to Moheyuan, Anping stopped her and said, "There is one more thing that I forgot to tell you."

Shui Linglong stopped and turned to look at him, "What?"

In Tian'an Residence, the old lady and Zhuge Liuyun were sitting on the kang, and Gong's mother was kneeling on the floor below, with tears streaming down her face. How could those people say such ugly things? Madam's illness finally improved, but she fainted again and vomited blood..."

The old lady suddenly changed color, "You vomited blood? Is it serious? Have you asked the doctor to take a look?"

Zhuge Liuyun's face darkened, "Didn't I tell you to block the news so that my wife doesn't hear it?"

Gong's mother sighed, "Where did the slave let Madam hear it? Someone deliberately spread rumors and caused a storm in the city. Not to mention the General's Mansion, even the vendors selling side dishes on the roadside knew that Madam was the woman you no longer wanted..."

Zhuge Liuyun's face became even more ugly, "You believe in any nonsense?"

Mother Gong wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sobbed: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. The important thing is that Madam feels uncomfortable hearing this! Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable? Madam gave birth to three children for you, and was taken over by Shangguan Yan." Du Mute, taking her daughter who was also poisoned to stay away from Dazhou, my lord, do you know how much she suffered? But in the end...what did she get in the end? What’s wrong with wanting to see my children before I die? Why do some people just cling to my wife?”

 The old lady turned away and wiped her tears, "What are you talking about outside?"

Mother Gong replied: "She said that Madam had abused the princess in Kashgar before, and said that the prince was not the princess's biological child and was not qualified to inherit the title of the prince. The one in the princess's belly was the future heir of the prince! She also said that if the prince wanted to inherit the title It’s okay, but you must sever the mother-child relationship with your wife…”

"Nonsense!" The old lady slapped the table in anger, "Since when has Qian'er ever abused a princess? It's all those slaves who are so audacious to deceive others! Also, why isn't Xiaoyu qualified to inherit the title of the prince? She has to have it in her belly. Only those who have climbed out are qualified? To put it bluntly, Xiao Yu is the eldest son and grandson of the Zhuge family! This title is for people with the surname of Zhuge, not for people with the surname of Leng!"

Originally, the old lady didn't have any objections to the princess. After the old lady suggested it, she even started to treat the princess very attentively. In addition, the princess was pregnant again, so she valued her daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart. But once she met someone who looked up to the princess's child, , devaluing Zhuge Yu as worthless, the negative emotions in the old lady's heart were aroused. Sometimes, instigating a relationship is as simple as that.

Zhuge Liuyun was also puzzled. These secrets were not announced to the public at all. Only a few masters of the palace knew who actually enriched the secrets and spread them everywhere!

The more Mother Gong spoke, the angrier she became, and the more tears she shed, "The princess is a human being, isn't the madam? Why does the princess bother to hold on to what happened back then? You know, the madam sacrificed her life to protect the good fortune of the palace! The princess back then It’s not like the wife got rid of the child, so why should the princess put the blame on the wife? After knowing what the princess did to the eldest lady and the prince, the wife cried for three days, but has the wife ever taken revenge like she did? ? Madam, she just wants to spend her last years quietly, but why... why doesn’t the princess let her go? "

The old lady and Zhuge Liuyun said in unison, "You mean the princess did it?"

“Of course it’s the princess! Who else hates Madam so much besides her?” Mother Gong vowed.

The old lady's gray eyebrows twisted. As a bystander, when looking at this matter, her first reaction must be to suspect the most suspicious person with a criminal record. She remembered that Leng Youru killed Zhuge Yu's three fiancées to slander Zhuge Yu. With Yu's reputation, the old lady felt that this woman could do anything crazy. But on the other hand, Leng Youru is a pregnant woman. How could a pregnant woman have the mind to do this? Don’t all mothers put their children first? Worrying too much is not good for your health, especially if she is an elderly pregnant woman, so she should not worry too much. Therefore, the old lady fell into silence.

Zhuge Liuyun, on the other hand, dismissed Gong’s mother’s words, “It’s not her! She’s not that boring!”

These rumors are really boring to Zhuge Liuyun. As long as the three of them don't believe it, after a long time, everyone will forget about it as it is boring to talk about. Leng Youru and Zhuge Yu are not the kind of people who care about fame, wealth and status. The position of the prince is a piece of cake in the eyes of the world, but to them it is just a passing moment. Leng Youru would not maliciously slander Shangguan Qian in order to compete for the position of the crown prince, and she also understood that whenever she wanted it, Zhuge Yu would give it up without hesitation, just like he gave up the position of the clan leader of Kashiqing. Zhuge Liuyun couldn't decide who it was specifically. He vaguely felt that something was a little strange, but he had to think about it.

After Zhuge Liuyun left, Mother Gong threw herself at the feet of the old lady, "Old lady, the prince has fallen in love with the princess now, so he is not as good as before in treating his wife. Old lady, you are someone who has been here and you should understand that a man's heart is full of things." He will always look after him. As much as the prince protected his wife during the Qing Dynasty in Kashgar, he will protect the princess now. Please ask the old lady to make the decision for her! If she didn't have this problem, the princess would have to die for the rest of her life. I can’t conceive a child! I don’t want the princess to be grateful, but I don’t want to retaliate for kindness!”

The matter of changing one's fate was brought to every master from the first day that Gong's mother entered the house. The old lady's ears were soft and she was a little shaken as she listened, "That...can't be the princess...you don't have one." Seeing it with my own eyes, maybe one of the servants broke his mouth."

Mother Gong sighed bitterly, "Servant? Which servant knows the secret of our Kashgar celebration? Only the masters know! But the other masters and ladies have no grievances, except the princess. That day, the lady was not feeling well, so please help me The prince went to visit the general’s mansion, guess what?”

 “Huh?” The old lady’s eyes widened.

Gong's mother said: "The princess was so stunned that she didn't allow the prince to go! The princess said, this is Dazhou, the prince is her husband Leng Youru, and she doesn't allow the prince to go! Look, isn't this... riding on the prince's head? What if she is the legitimate daughter of the Leng family? Can she yell at the prince? "

Every mother has a common problem, that is, she can't stand her daughter-in-law sitting on her son's head. The old lady frowned when she heard this, "Is there such a thing?"

Gong’s mother patted her chest and said, “If you dare to tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die!”
