The first thousand and ninety-fifth chapters, the responsibility of doing a good job in the shadow
The phoenix-headed incense burner in the hall was spitting a faint and elegant fragrance, refreshing the heart and lungs, making people feel refreshed, and relaxing their body and mind.
The queen felt her whole body tense, her heart was as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, but there was a faint sweat stain on the vest. The hands placed on both sides were pressed on the corners of her skirt, and it was wet.
"Emperor..." The queen said with a sarcastic voice, her eyes turned red, and her voice choked, "Emperor, I have been married to you for so many years, and I will never extend my hand if I know I shouldn't. I have never intervened in this matter at that time. The people who came after it were also dealt with by the emperor. Why do you doubt me? What happened back then, what happened back then..."
The queen's face looked very painful, and she slowly pressed her hand to her chest, "If, if I really want to deal with King Chen, why bother with Princess Chen like this..."
The queen smiled miserably when she said this, "Isn't there anything else that is wrong? That's what the emperor told me personally, and only I know about it!"
Her voice dimmed, almost as if she was talking to herself, but the emperor heard it sincerely, and a little moved on his gloomy face.
"Emperor, when I married you, you were just a prince. When I was the first emperor, I was involved in the harem struggle at that time, and I almost lost my life. That time, the prince helped me prove my innocence. At that time, I followed you wholeheartedly. Even though... even if you don't give me much place in your heart, I always keep my duty in mind, but now you can't recognize me for criticism like this."
"I was not present at the time when the incident happened in the palace. Is it the only one who knew about it? The emperor did not ask the people present, but came to accuse me of me. I was wronged. It is possible if the people who were not present, not only me, but also King Cheng, but also possible!"
When the first emperor had an accident, the only one who entered the palace was the emperor. Then the emperor entered the palace. His wife and concubines entered the palace together. When the chaos was in chaos, anyone could indeed reach out.
The change of the dynasty was suddenly completed within a few days. It was not that the descendants of the former emperor ascended the throne. The ministers had their own disputes, and the affairs of the previous dynasty had not yet been settled, let alone the harem.
The harem was in chaos at that time. It would not be difficult if someone secretly intercepted a few palace ladies present at that time. Not only the Empress had this ability, but the concubines who entered the palace had this ability. When the chaos was in chaos, who knew whose person took action?
The emperor was silent. Of course, he could understand what the queen said. When he thought about it carefully, it made sense.
He had just thought that the most likely one was the queen. Now, after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible that the concubines who followed the queen into the palace, Xiang De Concubine Ming, who followed him into the palace from the secret residence, had a large number of people. As for King Cheng, it was also possible that he would come to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother who had lost his eldest son.
"Emperor, if it were not in chaos at that time, how could he not find out that the Prince of Qing's mother was pregnant? How could he let her take the prince into Yuhui Temple?"
When the queen saw the emperor's face, she knew that her words had worked, and her expression became more and more pity.
The emperor passed away, and only those who had not given birth to children would be sent to Yuhui Temple to practice in the simplified world. Those who gave birth to children would be left behind. When sent to Yuhui Temple, they would usually be sent to Yuhui Temple.
The imperial physician took the rash pulse and checked that there was nothing to do before he was sent in.
It was just that the situation was too sudden and the palace was very messy, so the pregnant concubine concealed the child in her stomach and went to Yuhui Temple together.
The queen's two lines of tears fell, but she did not reach out to wipe it, allowing the tears to slowly slide into her beautiful cheeks. "If the emperor does not believe me, he will be deposed. I am willing to bear all the guilt. As for King Zhou, the emperor should not doubt him who was born shortly before!"
This was extremely pitiful, and tears rolled down one by one. After saying this, he was sobbing and choking.
Hearing what she said so pitiful, the emperor's face calmed down a little, but he was still angry: "You are the lord of the harem and the queen. If you have done so many things, you will never know nothing, right?"
"Emperor, I... I also want to know many things, and I want to be the lord of the harem so that the emperor can deal with the affairs of the previous dynasty wholeheartedly, but... But can I reach out to some things? There was an accident in the Empress Dowager that day, and I wanted to ask Princess Chen to ask clearly, and I had to find another reason, for fear that others would misunderstand Princess Chen."
The queen explained aggrievedly that she said her intentions about summoning Shao Wanru to the palace that day, and did not use other words to make excuses. Such a reason can only fool others, but it cannot convince the emperor. With the emperor's nature, it is best to speak out at this time.
"Emperor, there are so many things in the harem, and there are many things that the emperor does not let me touch my hands, so I will not touch my hands. This is the case with the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lan... It is the same. As long as the Emperor ordered, I never dared to disobey, but sometimes I have to maintain the peace of the harem, so I have to ask some, but isn't this my duty? Your Majesty, you will feel at ease!"
The queen burst into tears when she said this.
The emperor was silent and looked at the queen with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her face. However, although she was wronged, she was restrained vigorously, and she sighed in her heart for a moment, "You really don't know anything?"
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can call Princess Chen and ask her to tell me if she had said anything to me that day? The emperor, everything I did is to maintain the peace of the harem and what other things he knows. As for the emperor's previous accusations, I was busy collecting the harem and cleaning up the people from the harem in the previous dynasty. When I first entered the palace, how could so many people check what happened?"
"The Queen thinks who is the most likely at that time?" The emperor's momentum was slightly slowed down.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I have been in the harem and I am concerned about trivial matters in the harem. Some major matters in safety have always been the emperor's responsibility. If the emperor doesn't know, I really don't know." The queen said with tears.
The crying was really a means, and the emperor was silent. On the one hand, she said that she was wronged, and on the other hand, she mentioned the matter of Concubine Lan, implying that such a wronged thing, she endured it. How could it be difficult for other things to do? It means that her virtuousness and magnanimity are not a person who will harm others.
Concubine Lan walked independently in the harem. Although she was "contained", this "contained" was just a way to protect her. She didn't have to wake up in the morning and evening, she didn't have to see the Queen Mother, and she didn't use it for herself. Everything was mainly to protect her, just because she was the first emperor.
The emperor is so unique to her later sister.
Whenever I think of this, the queen feels that her whole heart is bitten, and she feels so uncomfortable that she tightly clings her, wishing that Concubine Lan will die.
But she didn't dare. After following the emperor for so long, she always knew that Concubine Lan was the woman in the emperor's heart. However, because of the identity of the first queen's sister, she was destined to be unable to get any high position, and she might be jealous of other women in the harem, so she was called "confinement".
Concubine Lan secretly came out from time to time. The queen didn't know, but just pretended not to know. She even knew that Concubine Lan had always wanted to contact Chu Liuchen, but was rejected by Chu Liuchen.
She thought she was generous enough about Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan had nothing to do at the moment. Not only was the emperor protected her, but she also had her own indulgence. In this regard, the emperor must be grateful to her.
This is also an important reason why she has been tolerating Concubine Lan for so many years and has locked up the affairs of Concubine Lan.
Although she and Concubine Lan actually had a fight in private, at least on the surface, she was a fair and kind queen, so she rushed forward a little, and the emperor would have less suspicion about her.
"Get up, have a good rest these days, I have something to do!" The emperor stood up and said with an unknown expression. Not scolding the queen already means that he believed in what the queen said.
"Yes, I know!" The queen nodded and said softly with tears in her eyes.
The emperor strode away, the queen stood up with her chair, her eyes turned cold, and her vest was soaked in cold sweat.
At that moment, she knew clearly the emperor's intentions. If she had answered something wrong just now, she would probably have to be deposed.
It was just a little princess Chen, but he was so concerned. He knew at the beginning that he was different from the queen. Now he even had to protect the son she gave birth to?
The unclean woman gave birth to a son, a sick and ill son who was about to die, could she really want to pass the throne to this lowly person?
How could she be willing to do so? She is the queen and the lord of the central palace.
The woman named Empress had long died and could not die anymore. Even the bones had rotten. Why should I fight with myself? Concubine Lan, even if she is the sister of Empress, she is just a shadow of Empress.
If a shadow is responsible for the shadow, can it be possible to even imagine that King Chen will entrust her to the position of Empress Dowager?
"Empress, King Zhou has secretly sent someone in!" A nanny came in and reported carefully.
"Let him not act in vain, do whatever he should do, and never do anything." The Queen ordered.
"The King of Zhou was worried about your health, so he specially sent a miracle doctor to come over." The nanny said again.
"Who is a miracle doctor? Why are you messing around? Is there still a shortage of imperial doctors in this palace?" The queen was stunned for a moment and scolded.
"But this person... has come in!" The nanny twitched her face. It's not that she didn't want to stop people, but that was actually His Highness King Zhou sent the people with the news.
"No, what kind of miracle doctor is needed at this time to send people out of the palace." The queen was furious and said annoyed.
