Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 98

"Stop crying and howling like wolves!" Sima Yu stepped into the threshold of the Hall of Prayer orchids, seeing Qiu Zhenzhen who was crying so much that she couldn't help feeling upset.

"The child is gone, isn't it just as you want, why are you pretending to cry? Could it be that you are secretly laughing?" Sima Yu brushed off his clothes and sat down in the leader's seat, sneering.

Qiu Zhenzhen knelt down, opened a pair of red and swollen almond eyes from crying, and said: "What is your Highness talking about? Although the concubine can't go against her will and truly treat Niang Niangniang's child as her own, but she must absolutely I don't expect him to be bad, now that the child is gone, what is the reason for His Highness to blame me?"

"Need I remind you? You once gave Qing Ge a basket of lychees!" Sima Yu gritted his teeth, "She trusted you to eat it, but I didn't expect..."

Qiu Zhenzhen yelled at her injustice when she heard the words: "Although the concubine is not a smart person, she would not be so foolish. I ate the lychee myself before sending it to me. I asked the imperial doctor to see that pregnant women can eat less and there is no problem. Hanxiang sent it to the Qingyin Hall with her own hands. I only hope that His Highness can understand the painstaking efforts of the concubine to love Sister Yan, and I also hope that His Highness can eat a few bites in the Qingyin Hall. The food sent out here by the concubine, I do it myself. to be arrested?"

"Is there evidence for what you said?"

"The Imperial Physician in the imperial hospital can testify." Qiu Zhenzhen bowed down and prostrated herself on the ground, "In addition, this concubine gave lychees to my sister-in-law Zhang Shi, who happened to be pregnant for more than five months. Your Highness can send someone to check if there is anything wrong. .”

Sima Yu saw that what she said was certain, and his expression was calm. Either she had already arranged everything, or what she said was true, and he was a little hesitant.Seeing that he still didn't believe her, Qiu Zhenzhen straightened up and said, "His Royal Highness, take ten thousand steps back and say, if this lychee is really the root cause of my sister's miscarriage, this matter is not the work of my concubine, this lychee is my sister Shen Xi. The concubine sent some to Qing Ge and sister-in-law when she saw that there was too much to eat."

Yan Ziheng heard the words and whispered beside Sima Yu: "I heard that Shen Xi's elder brother committed some crimes a few years ago and was demoted as Qiongzhou Sima. It is reasonable to send lychees to my sister."

Sima Yu nodded, motioned for Xiao Dezi to bring Shen Xi, and ordered someone to go to the Qiu Mansion to check the testimony by the way.Zi Heng said again: "Let me take people to the Qiu Mansion. I have a guard. The emperor's house is unclean. My duty lies in it. It is inevitable that the people sent to investigate will not be thorough, and they will be tampered with."

Sima Yu was greatly comforted, and sighed: "Sure enough, I have grown up a lot and become more sensible."

Zi Heng raised the corners of his mouth and said, "My sister's business is my business." After saying that, he retreated to Qiu's mansion.Sima Yu saw that Qiu Zhenzhen had been kneeling and there was no evidence to punish her, so he waved his hand and said, "Get up."

As soon as Han Xiang heard about the amnesty, she hurried forward to help her mother up, and served Sima Yu some tea and food.Sima Yu couldn't care less, he just rubbed his forehead, feeling a little headache.Seeing this, Qiu Zhenzhen leaned forward and said: "My sister has always been blessed, Your Highness don't need to be too anxious, let the concubine give His Highness a massage to relieve fatigue."

At this time, flattery is undoubtedly adding fuel to the flames, Sima Yu yelled angrily: "Qiu Zhenzhen! You are still the most suspicious, I suggest you accept it as soon as you see it, and stop the loss in time!"

Qiu Zhenzhen stopped her pace immediately, she could only stand aside timidly and said nothing.Not long after, Xiao Dezi brought Shen Xi over. Shen Xi didn't know what had happened. He was still playing in the imperial garden just now, when he was invited by De Gonggong to the Hall of Praying for Orchids. Are you going to the Hall of Praying for Orchids? Why are you summoned in the Hall of Praying for Orchids? Could it be that the princess concubine was favored and she thought of her as a good sister and said something nice?So I was a little proud of myself, but seeing the battle at this moment, how could it be a good thing?So he braced himself and said, "Greetings to Your Highness, and to the Crown Princess Concubine."

Sima Yu didn't let her get up, and asked directly: "Have you ever given lychees to the Crown Princess?"

Shen Xi didn't know why, so she could only carefully word her words: "Yes, my brother sent them from Qiongzhou. The concubine and the concubine have always been close, so I sent some."

Sima Yu snorted coldly: "Did you know that the princess concubine who is close to you gave the lychee to Qing Ge, and she is having a miscarriage now."

Shen Xi's face paled when she heard the words, and thoughts abounded. Could it be that the Crown Princess concubine had tampered with her in private and framed her as the blame?She couldn't help but think of what Qiu Zhenzhen said many days ago, there is no surefire way to not touch Yan Qingge, could she be a pawn in this way?
But she didn't show it on her face, she just asked softly: "The concubine doesn't know about this, is sister Yan okay now?"

"Whether it's good or not, do you really care about it?" Sima Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Your Highness's meaning, the concubine does not understand."

"Princess Concubine said that she has never tampered with the lychee. If something happens, it is your problem." Sima Yu frowned slightly, "So I am ridiculous to hear you say that you two are very close."

Shen Xiwan seemed to be slapped in the face, her face was hot, but the Qiu family could not offend, so she could only laugh along with her and said, "The empress and concubine only told the truth that the lychee was indeed given by the concubine, but the concubine did not touch it." It is also a fact that the concubine has cheated, after all, it is impossible for the concubine to expect that the crown prince concubine will give the lychee to Sister Qing Ge, if the concubine wants to harm someone, it would be too random."

"The concubine naturally knows that when giving gifts to concubines who are pregnant in the harem, they try not to give food as much as possible. That's why they didn't give it to sister Qing Ge. The concubine naturally didn't expect the concubine to commit such a taboo..." Shen Xi looked up at Qiu Zhenzhen and said.

Qiu Zhenzhen didn't expect Shen Xi to bite back, she was impatient, pointed at her and said, "It's in vain for me to testify for your lychees, and you imply that I did it?"

"There can be no problem with the food my elder brother sent, it's self-evident. I'm really bothering the princess and concubine." A trace of sarcasm appeared on Shen Xi's face.

Qiu Zhenzhen fell to her knees when she heard the words, with a sincere expression, she explained: "Although the concubine knows that it is taboo not to give food away, there are exceptions, if it is a gift from the concubine's relatives and friends, it is fine, and sister Yan doesn't like calligraphy and painting decorations, so I just I have a special liking for food, and my concubines, in order to show their closeness, also think that they have a clear conscience, and they dared to send it after repeated verifications that it is harmless to pregnant women, Your Highness, don't listen to the gossip. "

Sima Yu watched the two bite each other, and felt that what they said made sense, one could not be so stupid as to deliver it himself, and the other could not have known that what was gifted to the Crown Princess would end up in the hands of Yan Qing In this way, thinking about it made me feel even more angry and unable to vent.

After a while, Yan Ziheng came back, and Sima Yu went to the side hall alone to meet him, and asked, "How is it?"

Yan Ziheng looked suspicious: "Ms. Zhang was indeed pregnant for five months, and she also ate lychees, but nothing happened. I was worried that I had made a confession beforehand. I asked more than one maid, and they all said that Mrs. Zhang did eat lychees that day, and guarded the door. Some people also said that someone actually came from the palace. It doesn’t look like it’s fake.”

Sima Yu frowned, and Ziheng said again: "I'm young, so I can't say why, but I always have an intuition that there is another mystery to this matter. It's not that simple. If it's difficult to do it so well, it's very easy Most likely there is no problem, maybe the root cause is not on the lychees at all."

Sima Yu also had the same intention. After all, it was just a lychee. If it was mixed with acute medicine, it would not make sense for it to take so long to take effect. If it was chronic, it would take a long time for it to take effect. There is no reason why it would take effect once, but it would be hard to think about it for a while. The reason behind it is really boring!The two returned to the main hall, and Sima Yu let the guards and imperial troops withdraw.Shen Xi understood in her heart that there must be no reason, so she put on a considerate look and said slowly: "Sister Qing Ge is still young, and it is not uncommon for the first child to have a mishap, Your Highness, don't worry, there will definitely be in the future. "

Sima Yu glanced at her: "The two of you had better be cautious in your words and deeds recently, and don't leave the bedroom if you have nothing to do."

These words sounded euphemistic, but they were actually under house arrest. The two raised their eyes together, and were about to argue, when they heard a voice: "The master of the harem is not dead yet!" Nalan Rong was only wearing a lake blue dress. The thin robe hurried over, passed the guards, and went straight to the palace.

"Mother's queen!!" Both of them saluted attentively as if seeing a savior.

Sima Yu's expression froze, he didn't know who was going to rescue the soldiers again, and he was even more impatient, and said lightly: "Although this matter is a matter of the harem, it is also the family matter of the minister, I hope the queen mother will not interfere."

"The country has state laws, and the family has family rules. If you have evidence, not to mention being grounded, even if you go to prison and beheaded, you are up to you, but you don't have any. How can you frame it at will? A Qiu family, a Shen family, you don't do it for you. Father, think about it?" Nalan Rong said slowly, with a sense of grace.

"..." Sima Yu lowered his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I hope you will remember what you said today, if one day I find evidence, I will kill this person, and you will never stop my mother!" "After that, he walked away in a huff.The rest of the people have their own ghosts in their hearts, and they are terrified.

As soon as Sima Yu and Ziheng came out of the Qilan Palace, they saw Lan'er running over recklessly, and happened to collide with Ziheng, so that the pair of maids' buns were crooked.Sima Yu thought there was something wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Qing Ge?"

Seeing that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yan Ziheng, Lan'er wiped off his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is awake!"
