It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Madam Xi was completely stunned. Zhao Chengjun said that the princess was not Xi Yunchu, so he wouldn't let them go to the gate of Jing Palace again?

Madam Xi was almost driven out of the wing room. She couldn't accept this result, and turned back and shouted at the door: "Master, how can you say this? Sister Chu has been waiting for so many years, from the cardamom to the flower letter. The youth of my daughter’s family is so precious that she would not even book marriage appointments in order to wait for the prince. The first sister-in-law had acquiesced by the prince when she waited. , Are you worthy of sister and Xi's family at first?"

"Mother, don't say it!" Xi Yunchu yelled vigorously, and burst into tears, covering his face. The young and bright woman cried into tears, and the people beside her couldn't bear it, but Zhao Chengjun's face did not fluctuate, and said coldly: "This king has said that he has no intention of marrying a wife. You have to wait. Second Miss The age is not too old, and there is no time to discuss with each other. I wish Mrs. Xi and the second young lady a good son-in-law as soon as possible."

Xi Yunchu is sixteen this year, and this is not too old, but for a girl who hasn't negotiated a relationship, it's a bit too late. Girls of the same age will either have a baby kiss, or they will start seeing each other as early as the 13th and 4th, and at the latest, they will have one after another. Now that Xi Yun is sixteen years old, in a hurry, where can he find a man of similar family background and good character?

It was also Mrs. Xi who entrusted her to dad. She didn't know where she was confident, but she felt that King Jing liked Xi Yunchu, and she would remarry when Xi Yunchu grew up. So Mrs. Xi refused all the wives who inquired about the marriage, and stared at Zhao Chengjun wholeheartedly. How could I think that I would suddenly hear something like this today?

Madam Xi was both anxious and angry. In anger, she couldn't speak her mind and blurted out: "Since the prince said that he has no intention of marrying a wife, then do these things today to dispel our thoughts? The prince is too despised of Xi's family. If we are willing to say something sincerely, we will find someone else, and we will never favor the prince."

Lu Yufei's face changed slightly, and she kept winking at Madam Xi. Zhao Chengjun frowned, and Mrs. Xi was too presumptuous. Can she say these things? Who does she think she is, dare to question King Jing?

Not to mention that Zhao Chengjun and Xi Yunchu did not have any written or oral agreement. Even if the contract was signed, Zhao Chengjun wanted to revoke it, but it was just a sentence. Lei Ting Yu Lu is Jun En, and royals, how can there be any truth?

The yard's breath stagnated for a while, and everyone looked at Zhao Chengjun carefully. In fact, Zhao Chengjun is not angry. His mind is not enough to worry about Master Tang. Why should he be angry for unrelated people?

It just so happened that, taking advantage of today's clarification, it was not only to dispel the idea of ​​Xi's family, but also to tell the rest of the palace. Zhao Chengjun said: "This dynasty has been walking in and out of the country so far. I dare not say that I am standing upright, but at least I dare to say that I am not ashamed of my heart. Every word of this king comes from his heart. The previous saying that he had no intention of marrying a wife was not an excuse, but that he really did not want to get married. Now that the king is determined to accept his concubine, it is not a change of thought, but a desire to marry someone. This king’s wife will only be her, if it were not for her, the king would still not marry him for life.”

When Zhao Chengjun finished speaking, both Mrs. Xi and Yunchu Xi were stunned. Xi Yunchu couldn't hold back, and asked, "Master, she is Master Tang in your mouth?"

Zhao Chengjun looked at Xi Yunchu like a fool: "Obviously."

There were still tears on Xi Yunchu's face. After all, she was a young girl, and she was said to be affectionate in front of her face. Xi Yunchu bit his lip and asked sadly: "At the beginning of Nanshan Mountain Villa, the prince said he wanted to marry a wife. Was it also her?"

Zhao Chengjun did not shy away from it, and nodded lightly: "From beginning to end, there is only one person."

Zhao Chengjun's words were like a huge mountain, which suddenly crushed all of Xi Yunchu's hope and pride. It turned out that the coincidence that she secretly delighted, the clues she took back to study over and over again, were all her own passion. Zhao Chengjun's mind is very clear, like it is straightforward, and rejecting it is straightforward. This ups and downs, long-lasting secret love, after all, is her one-man show.

Xi Yunchu couldn't stand it anymore and ran out of the door crying while covering his face. Madam Xi called out several times anxiously. Looking at Zhao Chengjun, she threw off her veil angrily, and hurried after Xi Yunchu.

Outsiders were all sent away, Zhao Chengjun didn't say a word, but his momentum gradually became heavy. He had a calm and cold tone, and said, "Close the door."

Zhao Zixun and Lu Yufei knew that they had sent away outsiders, and now Zhao Chengjun had to deal with his own people. The descendants closed the door silently and stood solemnly under the corridor, not daring to take a breath. Zhao Zixun and Lu Yufei both felt breathing difficulties. In the end, Zhao Zixun spoke first and took the initiative to take a step forward. He said, "The child minister is at fault, please father to punish him."

Zhao Chengjun lightly asked, "Where did you go wrong?"

Lu Yufei was so scared that his heart was about to stop suddenly. King Jing only said that there was a mistake, but did not say what was wrong. This was simply torture. Zhao Zixun lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "The son of the minister was wrong in listening and believing, and he committed the following and almost murdered the royal heirs."

Zhao Chengjun seemed to smile and asked, "What else?"

"We shouldn't help him to be abused, draw Xi's mother and daughter into the house, and persecute his children."

Zhao Chengjun didn't speak yet, Zhao Zixun knew that he still didn't say it right. Zhao Zixun lowered his head, frowning and wondering, where did he miss?

Lu Yufei was tortured by this silent torture, and boldly said: "The prince, it's nothing to do with the world, but the daughter-in-law is stupid, and he called Madam Xi into the mansion. If you want to punish, then punish the daughter-in-law. Okay, don't anger the world."

A good husband and wife love. Zhao Chengjun lightly sneered and said slowly: "This king has always made trouble with women and subordinates. All the responsibilities are placed on the person in charge. The concubine has not been involved in the world, knows others, and still knows to protect you. And you, as a concubine. The princely son of the palace, but he didn't understand the relationship."

Zhao Zixun twisted his eyebrows tightly, catching something vaguely, but still couldn't understand. Zhao Chengjun stood up from the seat and said, "Your biggest mistake is to be wronged to her while I was away from the house. I don't want to scold her and punish her. Why do you dare?"

The needle drop in the courtyard was audible, Zhao Zixun seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand at all. Which man doesn't value blood inheritance, especially Zhao Chengjun has no biological children. Zhao Zixun reasonably believed that Zhao Chengjun was angry because the fetus in the stomach of Master Tang was almost injured. After all, if the child is a boy, he is the eldest son of Zhao Chengjun.

Zhao Chengjun's choice of Master Tang as a concubine was probably also out of the consideration of the child. Although Teacher Tang had a low status and could not bear to be a concubine, he was pregnant after all. If she was born as a son, she would make a great contribution, and it would be a good thing to make her a concubine by this credit. Zhao Zixun always thought so, but now, he is not sure.

According to Zhao Chengjun's words, his focus is not on the fetus, but on the pregnant person. How is this possible? It's just a woman.

Zhao Zixun's thoughts were messed up, and he couldn't grasp Zhao Chengjun's true intentions for a while. Zhao Chengjun stood under the porch with his hands on his shoulders and asked, "Has anyone brought it?"

Liu Ji had been standing in the corner of the wall to fill the air, and he immediately responded when he heard the words, and brought Doctor Song forward: "If you return to the prince, the slave will bring the Doctor Song."

Emperor Song was heavily **** with five flowers, and was roughly pushed to the ground by the eunuchs and knelt down. The Royal Physician Song was anxious and hurriedly pleaded: "The prince, the Weichen was wronged. The Weichen was deceived by the traitor and didn't know anything, so he was misdiagnosed. Please read the Weichen for the Weichen's service to the palace for many years. !"

Zhao Chengjun ignored the reason at all and asked directly: "Who is the person who instructed you to lie about the month?"

The imperial physician Song choked his throat and opened his mouth several times. At last he bowed his head and whispered, "It's Miss Feng Qian. She secretly came to the minister, implying that Miss Tang and the foreigner are unclear, and her reputation is damaged. Said that this child is not the prince’s. Weichen is preconceived and didn’t hear clearly when he diagnosed the pulse...

Everyone realized that Feng Qian wasn't just a hint, she might have also sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to Emperor Song. This is not uncommon in the harem house. Women vie for favor, bribing eunuchs, supervisors, and eunuchs from time to time to help themselves testify and bring down their opponents.

The same is true for Feng Qian and Tang Shishi.

"Okay." Zhao Chengjun nodded lightly, and said very calmly, "Pull Feng Qian and Song Taiyi outside and die."

Everyone was startled, Liu Ji's eyelids twitched, his eyes should be down. The eunuchs stepped forward and took Doctor Song out. The Doctor Song struggled desperately and shouted: "My lord, the Weichen was wronged! Even if the Weichen is guilty, he just diagnosed the wrong pulse and said the wrong thing. Why did he die? The Weichen knows. Wrong, I hope the prince will show favor!"

Zhao Zixun couldn't help but plead: "Father, the imperial physician Song took bribes and misdiagnosed him. He is indeed abhorrent, but he is not guilty of death. Feng Qian who planned all this is the culprit, and it is enough to kill her. It is not easy to train an imperial physician in an imperial hospital. Physician Song Han Chuang studied hard for many years, and served in the palace for a long time. There was no credit and hard work. Please see the doctor Song for his hard work over the years, and forgive him this time."

Zhao Chengjun smiled lightly and said, "It's okay to kill Feng Qian. It would be a pity to kill an educated doctor? When he said the diagnosis, didn't he know that he would kill people? The doctors had no medical ethics, and death was not a pity. Drag it out and die."

As soon as Liu Ji heard what Zhao Chengjun said, he knew that he was impatient. Liu Ji did not dare to delay, and immediately signaled the eunuchs to be quicker and not to delay time. Grand Doctor Song heard that he was really going to be beaten to death, and he was so scared that he couldn't help crying out wrong. Zhao Chengjun glanced at the main room, and said coldly, "Put his mouth shut. Keep it farther away, and don't make any noise to the Jianjia Courtyard."

Liu Jiying was, and skillfully blocked Emperor Song's mouth, and soon dragged the person away. The yard suddenly became silent, and the contrast was so sharp that it made people shudder.

Lu Yufei couldn't help but rubbed the goose bumps on his arm, and there was really no sound at all. This is even more terrifying, Lu Yufei always suspects that there is a smell of blood in the air.

Zhao Chengjun stood on the high steps, with cold eyes and condescending eyes. He didn't know who to say to: "She is the princess, no matter inside or outside, she is the same as me. Those who dare to help the abuse and fuel the flames are the fate of the outside."

Everyone should be so afraid to speak. After Zhao Chengjun dealt with the traitor in the mansion, he looked down again.

Lu Yufei tightened, she knew it was her turn.

"The concubine does not know people clearly. During this period of time, it's a good time to reflect on yourself and you don't need to be a steward. You can't even handle your own affairs and talk about managing others."

Lu Yufei's heart was stunned, her stewardship was deprived, and there was no deadline. She is the mistress of the house, and Jing Wangyu then seizes it, which is tantamount to saying in front of everyone that she is unqualified and not qualified to be the master.

Lu Yufei could not be loved by her husband, and the housekeeper was her only support. Now that even the housekeeping power is gone, how will Lu Yufei face her natal family, how will she face the handkerchiefs who flattered her in the past?

But Lu Yufei didn't dare to say, she endured her tears and thanked Zhao Chengjun for his sins: "Thank you father for your kindness. Daughter-in-law will remember.

Zhao Chengjun's gaze then fell on Zhao Zixun. Zhao Zixun felt the heavy gaze from above, and bowed his head respectfully. Zhao Zixun knew that he would have to be punished. Lu Yufei's female family members were punished so hard. As Lu Yufei's husband-in-law and the principal during this period, the punishment would only be more severe.

Others also understood Zhao Chengjun's style. Everyone inside and outside held their breath and their nerves were tense. As Zhao Chengjun was about to speak, there was a vague noise in the main room, as if Master Tang was awake. Zhao Chengjun stopped talking immediately and walked quickly to the main house.

Master Tang held his head and slowly got up. She only remembered that there was a very annoying woman who was going to be against her, Master Tang tried desperately to avoid it, and then fainted. But Master Tang couldn't remember why he fainted and what happened after he fainted.

She clutched her forehead and looked out. Broken tiles are still scattered on the ground outside, which shows that the conflict has indeed occurred. Master Tang was suddenly shocked and immediately stroked his lower abdomen.

Why is she in bed? Is her child still there?

In the fright of Master Tang, there was a sound of footsteps from far to near. Master Tang looked up and was startled bitterly when he saw the people coming.

Zhao Chengjun sighed deeply when touching her panic and defensive eyes. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently put down Master Tang's hand and said, "I'm back. The child is fine, and you are fine. You don't have to be afraid."

When Master Tang saw Zhao Chengjun, his heart became sour and astringent. She remembered. Just now Zhao Chengjun came back suddenly. She cried and fainted because she was too excited to see Zhao Chengjun.

Teacher Tang shook off Zhao Chengjun's hand angrily, and said angrily: "How am I, what is your business? Who said this kid has something to do with you?"

Liu Ji and the others filed in. When they heard this, they whispered silently, intending to withdraw quietly. However, Zhao Chengjun had already heard it. He didn't seem to be angry. Instead, he took Master Tang's hand and said, "Okay, it's up to you. Come in and give her a pulse and fetus."

The following sentence is for the subordinate and the imperial physician. All the remaining imperial doctors in the palace were called. They learned on the road that Emperor Song had deliberately misdiagnosed because of bribery and was beaten to death by King Jing. The colleagues for many years were gone in the blink of an eye. The imperial physicians sighed for a moment, and stepped forward more and more holding their breath and holding their spirits, carefully taking the pulse for Master Tang.

The imperial physician Song was killed because he offended this one. The imperial physicians are most aware of the current affairs. How can they not know what to say and which one to fawn on.

The imperial physicians checked the pulse one by one, and then retreated outside the screen and discussed in low voices for a long time. Finally, the most experienced and best medical doctors stepped forward and reported carefully: "Return to the prince, Miss Tang has a cold body. Coupled with this period of time being frustrated and worrying too much, this baby has already shown signs of miscarriage. I am afraid it is very dangerous."

Master Tang was drawing her own hand, she didn't want to be held by Zhao Chengjun. But after hearing the words of the imperial doctor, her struggling strength unknowingly weakened: "What? You mean, the child can't keep it?"

Zhao Chengjun was still very calm. He gently shook Master Tang's hand and said in a very calm tone: "Keep this baby at all costs."

The doctors exchanged for a while, and the old doctors still came forward and replied: "It is okay to have a fetus, but you need to be very careful. The medicine must not be stopped, and acupuncture and moxibustion should be used if necessary."

Before Zhao Chengjun spoke, Master Tang insisted: "Okay, it doesn't matter what happens. As long as I can keep the child, I can do anything."

Zhao Chengjun glanced at Master Tang quietly, and said to the imperial physicians: "You go down and prescribe medicine, everything is best for adults and children, don't worry about other things."

The eunuchs replied and stepped back. After the imperial doctor left, Liu Ji had great eyesight, and took the waiter to the next door to listen to the imperial doctor prescribing medicine, and gave the space inside to Zhao Chengjun and Tang Shishi.

The room was quiet, and soon, only Tang Shishi and Zhao Chengjun were left. Master Tang rolled his face, his eyes were cold, and he didn't want to speak at all.

Zhao Chengjun sighed slightly, took her hair from her sideburns, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think well. You have suffered during this period of time."
