Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 236 Life and Death (2)

  The eldest prince was outside the palace and was so anxious when he received the news that even the eldest prince and concubine did not wait, and rushed into the palace alone. In a hurry, the strength is much greater than usual.

  Princess Hui'an's arm hurt, so it's not easy to speak out. Thinking that the first prince's mother is still lying on the bed, wondering if he can save his life, it is inevitable for the first prince to be in a hurry.

   "The Zhou Yuan envoy and two imperial physicians were in the dormitory to give first aid to the imperial concubine. The queen mother was also in the dormitory." Princess Hui'an replied quickly.

   The eldest prince immediately said: "I also went in and guarded the mother-in-law."

   Without waiting for Princess Hui'an to speak, she quickly entered the bedroom.

   The light gauze curtain by the bed has been lowered, blocking the view. I only saw the shadows of the Tai Hospitals.

  The pungent **** smell drifted into the first prince's breath.

   The eldest prince was heartbroken, his whole body was cold, and it took a moment for him to regain his senses. Going to Queen Qiao's side to salute, Queen Qiao said briefly, "Don't pay attention to politeness at this time."

  The eldest prince was so upset that he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Dare to ask the queen mother, the concubine is so good, why did she suddenly commit suicide?"

Queen Qiao looked at the eldest prince, with a blade-like light in her eyes: "I don't know either. I want to ask you, what did the imperial concubine do to anger your father? Why is your father so late? Didn't you come to Yanxi Palace?"

   First Prince: "..."

   The eldest prince's complexion suddenly turned white.

  No one is a fool.

  Some things, after a little thought, you can come up with clues.

   After Lu Mingyu reported that she was pregnant more than a month ago, Concubine Meng's sneers suddenly jumped into the eldest prince's mind. The eldest prince didn't know whether to be frightened, frightened or annoyed that he didn't notice, and his body trembled slightly.

what to do?

   What else can he do now?

   Queen Qiao said lightly: "Only your father knows the reason. If you have doubts in your heart, just ask your father!"

   How could the eldest prince have the courage to go to the Wenhua Hall, and he opened his mouth in an obscure manner: "When the mother and concubine turn the corner, I will go to the father and the emperor on my behalf."

   The eldest prince finally has some responsibility.

   If you are still arrogant and sophistry at this time, you will really be looked down upon.

   Queen Joe stopped speaking.

  The waiting time is extremely long and difficult.

  Unwittingly, the sky turned completely dark, and the night shrouded the Yanxi Palace. This once majestic and imposing bedroom seemed to be melted into the night.

  …

   "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the servants are being passed down, so please take a few mouthfuls, Your Majesty!"

  In the Wenhua Hall, Emperor Yongjia looked at the memorial before the imperial case.

   Eunuch Liu, who was waiting by his side, knew that the Son of Heaven had not moved for an hour. That memorial, collapsed alone on the imperial case. No one cares what is written on it.

   This is the third time Eunuch Liu has persuaded the Son of Heaven to have dinner.

  Emperor Yongjia finally raised his head, a pair of dragon eyes faintly red: "I have no appetite, so I don't have to pass the meal."

   Eunuch Liu looked at it, both frightened and worried, and said in a low voice: "Jiren has a natural appearance. The concubine and the concubine couldn't think about it for a while, and she was angry with the emperor. There will be no serious problem. The emperor, please relax!"

  Emperor Yongjia twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to pull out a smile, but his expression was very stiff: "You go to Yanxi Palace again."

   Eunuch Liu had to take orders to retire.

  Emperor Yongjia continued to sit on the dragon chair. What flashed in his mind were the countless intimate and loving images of Concubine Meng in the past. In a blink of an eye, it changed to the scene of his son Li Jing kneeling in front of him, Lu Lin's red eyes and Qiao Ge's old face...

  Emperor Yongjia gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and waved everything on the imperial case to the ground. He got up suddenly and kicked over the imperial case.

   Then he walked around the hall like a trapped beast.

   As the Son of Heaven, we cannot act solely on our hearts and minds. Concubine Meng who made a big mistake must be severely punished. Even if his heart is fried in oil, he has to be ruthless.

   Soon, Eunuch Liu came back.

Eunuch Liu turned a blind eye to the messy scene in the hall, and handed down the report: "Qi, the imperial concubine's trauma has been temporarily stopped, but the concubine's breathing is weak and she has not woken up. Zhou Yuan said, the imperial concubine. Whether the empress can survive this catastrophe is still hard to say. It just depends on whether the concubine can wake up within two days."

  Emperor Yongjia stiffened for a long time before he said, "I know."

   Eunuch Liu quietly stepped back again, sighing regretfully in his heart.

   Concubine Meng's heart was too cruel. This not only stabbed himself, but also stabbed a pair of scissors into the emperor's heart!

  …

  The news was blocked in the palace, but the news that Meng Guifei Elijian committed suicide still reached Li Jing's ears.

   Queen Joe secretly sent a message.

After listening to Li Jing, he sneered in his heart and nodded slightly: "I see. You go back to the palace to report to the mother, and let the mother rest early. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to say goodbye to the mother. "

   The servant who sent the letter ordered to withdraw.

  The members of the Punishment Department who stayed up all night and day continued to suffer.

   His Highness the Second Prince refused to leave, and they couldn't wait to save their breathing. The torture of the Ministry of Justice was used in turn by the Zhao family steward.

   This steward Zhao couldn't bear to confess all night.

   He was bought by Quang Binh Hou two years ago. In private, he often passed some news to the Marquis of Guangping. The Marquis of Guangping didn't ask him to do anything dangerous, only let him walk around with Zhao San from time to time and give Zhao San some money.

   Director Zhao really did not know the whole story of the assassination.

   As for the origin of Chu Da, it is still impossible to find out. It should be a dead assassin who was raised in secret. That stupid girl, I don't know where Chu Da abducted it from, and raised it as a daughter to hide everyone's eyes and ears.

   At dawn, Li Jing entered the palace with a confession.

  He went to Wenhua Hall first.

   Unsurprisingly, Emperor Yongjia did not see him, and even Zaochao was spared.

   Eunuch Liu was very loyal to Emperor Yongjia, but he was kind to Queen Qiao Li Jing and his mother in private, and whispered two words: "The emperor didn't sleep all night, his mood was unstable, and he didn't want to see anyone."

  Li Jing's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.

   He turned to leave, and saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.

   is the first prince.

  The eldest prince also stayed up all night and did not sleep, his face was haggard, his eyes were red, and his face was anxious.

  The eldest prince came quickly, and before Li Jing could react, he clasped his fists and bowed to apologize: "Second brother, concubine mother did something wrong, and I apologize to you on behalf of concubine mother."

   "Now the mother and concubine are lying on the bed, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. I beg the second brother to go in with me to meet the royal father. I beg the royal father to go to the Yanxi Palace and save the mother and the concubine."

   At the end, the eldest prince's eyes were completely red, and his voice was choked up.

  Li Jing didn't move, and looked at the eldest prince coldly: "The eldest brother and the noble concubine have a deep relationship with the mother and son, so go in and ask the father and the emperor. I have no compassion for those who murdered my wife and children."

After   , he walked past the eldest prince and left with a flick of his sleeves.
