First Concubine

Chapter 249 Sister in danger (4)

Zhen looked at this very familiar style of outfit, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You...you dressed up as a madam...spreading rumors?" If the princess found out about this, wouldn't she hate the madam to death?

 Princess An’s thick eyebrows were raised and he said, “Dong Jialin, why are you doing this?”

 Dong Jialin has no enmity with the princess and has no enmity with Shangguan Qian. What benefits can be gained by instigating the relationship between them? Prince An's words were not about Dong Jialin, but Shui Linglong. After all, Dong Jialin is the second wife. If possible, he hopes everything is just a misunderstanding.

Dong Jialin knelt on the ground, lowered her eyes and cried: "I really don't know what's going on with these clothes. Don't the prince and the second lady know what my temper is? I only want stability. Even if I compete with the second young lady for favor, I will too. Never. Ever since the second young lady was pregnant, I have served her with all my heart, but I have not deliberately flattered the prince. Can you deny this? "

Qiao Hui was speechless, but what Dong Jialin said was true. In this case, how could a person who didn't fight in the second house go to the eldest house to make mischief? What is she planning?

Shui Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly and said sternly: "You go to Maple Courtyard every day with all your heart and soul! You know that Mrs. Mu likes to eat grapes, but you deliberately asked for the black chicken soup prepared for her in the dining room to make noodles. Xiaohui, the people in the dining room did the next best thing and gave her seafood soup. Ah, no, it was you who incited the people in the dining room to give her the seafood soup! Eating seafood soup with grapes can easily cause vomiting. You just want to It makes it impossible for Mrs. Mu and Mu Hua to get married!"

Dong Jialin's body trembled violently, and the hairs all over her body stood up, "No... Concubine, why did we offend you? Do you have to slander me and the second wife like this?"

Zhen's eyes moved slightly, and she said with a half-smile: "Linglong, this thing couldn't be...who put it there on purpose?" She had never seen Shui Linglong's ability to deal with people, her methods were vicious, and her heart was ruthless. , if she really wanted to fix her second wife, what if she framed her?

Shui Linglong smiled coldly, "Second aunt, what you said makes no sense! Is it interesting that I deliberately framed Dong Jialin? If I really want to harm the second wife, I might as well frame the second aunt. After all, the second aunt is the second wife. As a family member, Dong Jialin is just a concubine of the first wife, which is not enough to represent the position of the second wife! "

Zhen's head cleared. Yes, she is just a concubine. If she is wrong, she is wrong. It has nothing to do with the second wife's position! Maybe Feng Yanying ordered Dong Jialin to do this, and the purpose was to sow discord between the Leng family and the Zhuge family. She would not forget that when Yao Cheng and Zhuge Xi had a disagreement, how much property the Zhuge family swallowed up the Yao family! Most of these family properties are taken care of by the second wife of the Yao family.

Dong Jialin was unable to argue, so she could only sob pitifully, "I really don't know... maybe some servant did it..."

"Servant? Are you talking about her?" Shui Linglong pointed solemnly at Xing'er who was holding the door open and watching. Xing'er was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Dong Jialin broke out in a cold sweat, "Prince Princess, you keep saying that I harmed Mrs. Mu and spread rumors by wearing such strange clothes, but I have no enmity with them and there is really no reason to go and frame them. That time in the dining room was really a coincidence. The second young lady ate too little at the wedding banquet. I was worried that she would be hungry, so I brought a bowl of noodles to her. Being pregnant, I didn't think much of it at the time. If I am really at fault, it is because I didn’t pay enough attention to Mrs. Mu. If that black-bone chicken soup was stewed for you, I wouldn’t dare to give it to the Second Young Mistress in advance! As for this set of clothes, Crown Princess, I What an injustice!”

Shui Linglong walked up to her, pinched her pointed chin, and said in a cold voice: "I have many ways to pry open your mouth! Don't think that your eldest brother is the Minister of Rites, a popular person in front of the emperor, so you just give it I have grown my eyes to the top of my head! If Ah Jue is not the one that my fifth sister likes, will the emperor look down on him? The emperor just betrayed the queen’s favor and wanted to treat his future cousin-in-law better!"

Because of Shui Linglong's approach, a rich milky fragrance assaulted her nostrils. Dong Jialin's stomach turned. She tried her best to hold it back but was unable to do so. She vomited on the ground beside her.

Everyone was shocked, this...

Shui Linglong narrowed her eyes and said, "Please come, Doctor Hu!"

Dong Jialin suddenly felt cold and shivered again.

About a quarter of an hour later, Dr. Hu hurried over. Dong Jialin couldn't shirk him even if she wanted to. After diagnosing the pulse, the result was beyond everyone's expectation - she was one and a half months pregnant!

 But since Shangguan Hong left Beijing in July, Prince An has not touched Dong Jialin again. According to preliminary estimates, it has been at least two and a half months. No wonder she had been avoiding favor, but it turned out that...his self-esteem was hit by an unprecedented blow. King An instantly collapsed, stepped forward and slapped Dong Jialin hard, "You shameless slut!"

Shui Linglong didn’t care whether the people in the second room could understand it or not, but she saw it clearly anyway, so she picked up her skirt and ran out of the yard quickly, “Where is Mu Hua?”

But when Zhuge Yu learned that his daughter had almost become a scapegoat for the imperial concubine, he immediately rushed into the palace and had a big quarrel with Yunli. It was obvious that the imperial concubine was kidnapping the little princess, but because of a concubine's Favoritism made his daughter a stand-in. Haven't the Zhuge family been teased enough by the royal family? He won't talk about the grudges of the previous generation, but don't even think about doing anything to his son and daughter! He understood that the initiator of this incident was not Yunli, but it was also due to Yunli's negligence. The concubine who was under house arrest actually ran out of the palace. Are all eunuchs and maids just for free? And that concubine who pushed his daughter should be dragged out and chopped!

Yunli knew he was in the wrong, so he allowed Zhuge Yu to scold him. When Zhuge Yu was done venting, he said slowly: "I asked Concubine Yan. It was a coincidence that she didn't recommend Zhuge Yu. She is a little girl." The princess’s concubine had a deep relationship with the little princess, so she rescued the little princess in desperation.”

"So my daughter should be your daughter's scapegoat? That doesn't make sense!" Zhuge Yu was so angry that his chest was clogged. He would fight anyone who touched his daughter! "Also, your wise and mighty emperor, did you really not find out who helped the concubine leave the palace? Or did you find out but insisted on covering up the other party? There are many doubts about this matter. How did the concubine escape? ? Why did Concubine Yan and Concubine Li arrive at the scene so coincidentally? Someone must have conspired with the noble concubine to put on a perfect show! If Your Majesty doesn't give Wei Chen a reasonable explanation, Wei Chen thinks that the court will also There is no need to be loyal! Resign from office!”

 Resign? At this juncture? Yunli had a headache. As soon as something happened to the noble concubine, the third prince was ready to take action. Now it was the time to hire people, so he had to stabilize Zhuge Yu at all costs. "Go back and give me two days to investigate this matter. After finding out the truth, I’ll give you an explanation.”

Zhuge Yu pressed forward step by step, "Could the Emperor be looking for another scapegoat? If that's the case, I think there's no need for the Emperor to investigate!"

Yun Li frowned slightly, "Zhu, Ge, Yu!"

 “Wei, Chen, Zai!”

Yun Li prides himself on having a good temper, but he was very angry now, "Are you forcing me?"

Zhuge Yu turned away stubbornly, "No! The minister is urging the emperor to clean up the villains!"

Yun Li looked at him steadily, with a strong imperial aura, but Zhuge Yu calmly resisted the pressure. In the end, Yunli was defeated and said, "Here comes someone."

 “Long live the Lord.”

“Send the agarwood to Cining Palace and hand it over to the Queen Mother for disposal.”

 I haven’t ascended to heaven yet, so my son can’t handle my women as he pleases. It’s best to leave them to my mother. Zhuge Yu was very aware of the Empress Dowager's methods. In addition, the Empress Dowager disliked Shui Chenxiang, and Shui Chenxiang had lost her skin this time.

Yunli saw that Zhuge Yu still didn't leave, so he asked calmly: "What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Zhuge Yu curled his lips and softened his tone because of Shui Chenxiang's resignation, "Since Wei Chen took office, he has been traveling around, conquering the north and south, and spending less time with his wife and children and more separation. Wei Chen is really... "

"Punish Concubine Yan to go to the Buddhist hall to think about her faults behind closed doors!" Yunli found out for the first time that Zhuge Yu was so difficult to deal with!

After all, she was the emperor's spy in the palace. Even the queen mother could not touch her easily. Being sent to the Buddhist hall was the biggest concession that Yunli could make. Zhuge Yu clasped his hands in his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty is wise! Also, congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of Longzi!"

 Half an hour ago, Concubine Li gave birth to a baby boy.

Bingbing was in a daze in the next room holding the baby boy. Yue'e advised: "Mother, the Crown Princess will never harm you. You...make up your mind as soon as possible! While Concubine Li is still in the last stage of giving birth, there is no way to use her hands and feet. I can’t see anything, it’s probably postpartum hemorrhage.”

 Linglong left a note - killing his mother and leaving his son.

Yue'e said earnestly: "Concubine Li is quite peaceful now, but she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son. There is no guarantee that she will not use this advantage to expand her ambitions in the future. If you never give birth to a son, the future throne will definitely belong to the emperor's eldest son." By then, Concubine Li will also be crowned Queen Mother, and her status will be overtaken by you! So no matter what, I would rather kill you than let her go!"

Bingbing hugged the soft little ball in her arms tightly, closed her eyes, unable to hide the pain, "I can't do it!"

Zhuge Yu got a satisfactory explanation and stepped on the carriage back home refreshed. The second owl reported the information he found one by one, "It's a woman wearing red clothes and a bamboo hat. She bribed the little beggar. I ordered the little beggar to talk about the past of the madam and the princess in the streets, and also questioned your qualifications to inherit the palace. "

The red hat was Shangguan Qian's outfit. He could check it out, but others might not be able to. In this way, everyone thought it was Shangguan Qian herself who was spreading rumors. The purpose was probably to pretend to be forced into a desperate situation. So that her father could take her back to his home. These people are really full and have nothing to do! If Shangguan Qian had such thoughts, she would have come back in an upright manner! She was scolded when she hid in the general's mansion, and she was scolded when she returned home. Why didn't she choose a place where she could be closer to her descendants? I hope the princess and the Leng family will not be easily deceived.

 Zhuge Yu touched the bridge of his nose and said, "Continue."

Xiao Er added: "There is another strange thing. I quietly checked the entry and exit records of the concierge. In the days when the woman in red appeared, Aunt Dong Jia and the second lady also left the house."

 Zhuge Yu's eyes flashed with meaningful light, "The second lady is very sociable, and she would play cards and chat with ladies from time to time...Dong Jialin is young and cannot be kept in the house, so it is not impossible to find excuses to go out..."

Xiao Er's eyes narrowed, "However, my subordinates also found out a piece of news. Dong Jialin has been to Fengyuan more than once. She stayed there for about half an hour each time before coming out."

Zhuge Yu's obsidian eyes shone with a cold light. After contemplating for a moment, he frowned and said, "No, Dong Jialin and Xun Feng have colluded! Speed ​​up and return home!"

In the study room of the main courtyard, Zhuge Liuyun was so drunk that he staggered around, like a lump of mud and couldn't hold himself up. He was in a bad mood, so Xun Feng offered to accompany him to drink and chat, and he became extremely drunk while drinking. Xun Feng was sober, "Father, please wake up and stamp the document first. I will send relief materials tomorrow."

"Alas! Why are women so... so fickle? Your mother-in-law... she was not like this before... she was very gentle... and now she has become... a tigress... uh..." Zhuge Liuyun didn't hear it at all. No matter what Xun Feng said, he just continued the previous topic of men.

Xun Feng blinked, her smile unchanged, "Mother-in-law is angry. She will come back in a few days when she calms down. After all, she has your child in her belly. Who can she turn to if she doesn't turn to you? She has to give her child something. A complete home.”

 Zhuge Liuyun burped again, "Uh! A complete family...then I don't think I owe Xiaoyu..."

Xun Feng didn't want to dwell on this topic because he found that Zhuge Liuyun had suppressed it for too long and couldn't hold it back once he started talking. He raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "With such a father, I will marry Yao Xin." "Well, it's unreasonable to stay in the palace any longer. I plan to take Yao Xin and Brother Hao back to South Vietnam after taking over the affairs of World No. 1 Street this month."

Zhuge Liuyun listened to the last sentence. He suddenly opened his misty eyes with a very serious expression, "Don't go back! You two... three of you, please stay in the palace well! What belongs to Ling'er also belongs to Ling'er. you!"

Seeing that he finally had some consciousness, Xun Feng quickly took out the two documents in his hand and handed them to him, "Father, please stamp them! Brother Hao and I won't leave after stamping them."

"Sign it with a seal...you won't leave..." Zhuge Liuyun burped again. His mind was in a state of confusion. He kept thinking about this sentence over and over again. He followed his subconscious and began to search for the seal in the drawer. There were a lot of seals, most of them were carved by him for Brother Hao, and they were messed up by Brother Hao, so it was very difficult for him to find them.

Xun Feng stared at his slow-motion movements and was so anxious that he broke into sweat. In fact, it was only a few minutes, but it seemed to Xun Feng that it seemed like a long, long time. It was so long that his legs were numb from standing. He looked around, praying that no one would come to interrupt him.

Finally, Zhuge Liuyun took out the seal, and Xun Feng carefully pushed the document forward. Zhuge Liuyun lowered his head and looked at the words that looked like ants crawling, burped again, and then aimed at the inscription and covered it without any bias.

Xun Feng felt happy and his eyes shone brightly.

But the next second, Zhuge Liuyun touched the place where the seal was stamped, and said, "There's no red, oops... I didn't get the ink pad. Where did Brother Hao play with the ink pad? I'll look for it..."

Xun Feng almost died of anxiety!
