Jiao Luan

Chapter 467 Human Heart
Only Concubine Hua and the Prince were left in the room.

The prince didn't know why, so he looked at Concubine Hua Gui's face and asked, "Mother and Concubine, didn't Father say that you are seriously ill?"

Concubine Hua Gui was very upset, she covered her face and wept, "What serious illness, Chen'er, your father wants to give mother and concubine death!"

"What?" The prince was shocked. Thinking of his strange illness, he hurriedly stabilized his emotions, grabbed Concubine Hua and asked, "Mother and Concubine, what's going on? kill you?"

Concubine Hua wiped her tears, dragged the prince to the bedside, and explained the whole story in a low voice.

The crown prince was stunned for a long time before he asked in a trembling voice: "Concubine mother, you mean that the empress gave birth to a baby boy in Guanju Palace, and that baby boy was only a few days older than me?"

Concubine Hua nodded lightly, thinking of Deng An's betrayal, she couldn't help gnashing her teeth: "I should have known that Deng An's dog slave is unreliable. Back then, I ordered him to monitor Guanju Palace, and he never found out that the queen was pregnant. That child was born! If Bengong hadn't found out in time later, Chen'er, it would be hard to say who will be the crown prince now."

The prince was chilled all over, and the chill seemed to rise from the bottom of his heart, which made him tremble a little when he spoke: "Mother, since Deng An is unreliable, did he really dispose of that child according to your order? ?”

Concubine Hua was startled, and then slowly said: "Forgive him for not having the courage to hide that child. Today the emperor called Deng An to confront him, and Deng An confessed that he smothered the child to death according to the order of the Palace and buried him quietly. gone."

"That's good." The prince felt a big stone in his heart suddenly fall to the ground, his whole body relaxed, and his reaction seemed a little slow.

"Chen'er, now your father and emperor want to bestow death on your concubine mother, and concubine mother begged in every possible way to see you."

"Mother Concubine—" The prince felt bitter in his heart.

Concubine Hua held the prince's hand tightly: "Chen'er, your father has completely rejected me. The only thing mother and concubine can count on now is you."

"What does my concubine want me to do?" the prince asked in a daze.

Concubine Hua looked at the prince with tears in her eyes: "Go and beg your father, say that you can't live without your concubine mother, even if you put your concubine in the cold palace, as long as you don't give her concubine to death."

As long as she is alive, it doesn't matter whether she is in the cold palace or even the bureau of washing clothes. If she survives until the day the crown prince succeeds to the throne, all the hardships will come. The real winner is the one who has the last laugh.

At that time, she will be the empress dowager, the most honorable woman in the whole world, but the emperor will never know that the blood shed on Xinjun's body belongs to her Hua family and has nothing to do with him!

Concubine Hua felt happy when she thought that Emperor Changqing wanted to kill her without any nostalgia, and that her nephew would inherit everything from Emperor Changqing in the future.

After hearing Concubine Hua Gui's words, the prince couldn't help but remain silent.

According to his understanding, the father was very tolerant and loving to the princes and princesses, but the mother concubine killed the queen's son. One can imagine how angry the father was to the mother concubine.

If he goes to plead—

Thinking of Emperor Changqing's dissatisfied words and disgusted eyes, the prince's heart tightened.

No, if he ran into him at this time, the emperor would definitely be more dissatisfied with him.

The prince glanced at Concubine Hua.

He spared no effort to plead for mercy, maybe the emperor father would be merciful to save the concubine mother's life, but as long as the concubine mother is still alive, the emperor's dissatisfaction will accumulate deeper and deeper.

It's true that he is the prince, but the father is in the prime of life, and when he gets old, maybe the fifth and sixth younger brothers will have grown up already.

Throughout history, old emperors are often suspicious and confused. Under the accumulated dissatisfaction, how can his crown prince be safe and secure?

"Chen'er?" Seeing that the Crown Prince was still silent, Concubine Hua Gui couldn't help calling out.

The prince slowly withdrew his hand, and suddenly knelt down.

Concubine Hua was shocked: "Chen'er, what are you doing?"

She stretched out her hand to pull, but the prince didn't move at all. He raised his head and said, "Concubine mother, I know that you have always loved me the most, so now you will love my son more and don't force me. My son just made a fool of himself not long ago. San's matter is behind closed doors and he thinks about his mistakes. If he begs the father at this time, he will definitely be even more angry with his son, and it is hard to predict whether his son's crown prince will be guaranteed."

"Chen'er?" Hua Guifei murmured.

The prince knelt in front of her, she was clearly condescending, but she had the illusion of falling into the abyss.

"Chen'er." Concubine Hua raised her hand and placed it on the crown prince's head, "You have been the crown prince for nearly 20 years, why do you think so?"

The prince smiled bitterly: "Mother and concubine, my father is not the only son. In ten years, the fifth and sixth younger brothers will be in their 30s and [-]s. Don't they have the strength to compete? No, my father is getting more and more dissatisfied with me." In other words, maybe they don't have to fight, I will make room for them! Concubine mother, think about it, even if the son goes to plead, the father puts you in the cold palace, and every time the father sees his son, he will think of you doing something wrong..."

Concubine Hua stepped back in a daze, and murmured, "Did you do something wrong?"

Concubine Hua almost wanted to laugh.

No matter how many things she did wrong, all she could do was this son kneeling in front of her.

But he was begging her to die!
Concubine Hua only felt chilling, absurd, and ridiculous, and couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her hand and slapped the prince across the face.

The crisp sound reverberated in the room, the prince stood up covering his face, looked at Concubine Hua Gui and smiled: "Mother Concubine, don't be like this, who doesn't die, but is it worth dying anyway? Although the father is angry now, when the time comes After a long time, the father tends to soften his heart, and when he sees his son remembering that he personally gave you to death, he may feel a little more pity for his son."

Concubine Hua opened her eyes wide, as if meeting the prince for the first time, pointing at him and sneering: "Okay, that's great, I didn't expect to work hard for more than 20 years, and finally raise such a good son!"

The prince pushed away Concubine Hua's hand: "Concubine mother, don't say that, the son is for the good of everyone. Think about your grandmother, think about Mu Enbo's mansion."

Speaking of this, the crown prince took a step forward and leaned into Concubine Hua Gui's ear, his voice was like a mosquito: "Right, aunt."

Concubine Hua retreated suddenly, stared at the prince for a long time, and said dejectedly: "Prince, let's go."

The crown prince knelt down: "The son will retire, mother and concubine go slowly."

As the figure of the prince gradually disappeared at the door, Concubine Hua's eyes were blurred with tears, regret, hatred, unwillingness, all kinds of emotions welled up in her heart.

Yes, everything is for Mu Enbo Mansion.

What about her?What is she?

The prince walked out with heavy steps, and when he saw Zhu Hongxi who was standing on the steps, he paused.

"Has the prince seen the imperial concubine?"

The crown prince nodded slowly, his eyes were red: "I know about it, and I hope that Eunuch Zhu can make the noble concubine walk more decently."

Seeing that the crown prince was gone, Zhu Hongxi winked at the servants, and they went in together.

Pushing open the door, one saw Concubine Hua dangling on the beam, and a soft-soled embroidered shoe of gold silk red satin quietly landed on the spotless carpet.
