Chapter 106 The Twisted Melon
Chapter 106 The Melon that is forced
As a palace maid, it is impossible to refuse the matter of serving the bed. A palace maid in her thirties has such an opportunity. It is a happy event in the palace. Perhaps it is not a happy event. The woman who has served the bed will not go out again in the future. When the emperor's deadline comes, she will be buried with her. Zhen'er cannot refuse, but the eunuch has come to prepare.
"Sister Zhen'er, don't go!" Jianshen grabbed Zhen'er dressed up.
"I didn't expect something happened even if I was hiding." Zhen'er said, "I thought it was a mess outside and I came to the palace to hide in peace, but I didn't know I couldn't do it at all..."
"Actually, I know what's going on..." Niu Yu said, "The emperor doesn't want you to be unfaithful to him..."
"I didn't... I swear from the first day I entered the garrison..." Zhen'er said, she had done such a swearing.
"There is only the queen mother in your heart..." Niu Yu said, "Your Majesty is afraid of you... In fact, the emperor likes Niangniang Wan... and His Highness King De."
"I'm still a chess piece?" Zhen'er sneered, "I thought he really liked it... it turned out he..."
"Niu Yu, since my father doesn't like Zhen'er, but wants to take her away, it means that he feels Zhen'er shouldn't be by my side. Why bother so much? Why don't you let Zhen'er go and let her go... At worst, I can't just submit a memorial and not be the prince."
"That's not that simple... Your Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest son. According to the family rules of the ancestors, not to mention that you did nothing wrong, the emperor cannot do that."
"Zhen'er is my man." said the prince, "I will not give it to my father. If the father breaks the rules... wouldn't he have broken the etiquette and morality."
"Your Highness, have you been lucky to Zhen'er?" Niu Yu couldn't help it. The prince was still a child.
"I slept with Zhen'er every day, does it count?" said Prince Jianshen.
The eunuch next to him covered his mouth and laughed. The prince didn't know anything about men and women yet, and Zhen'er was just his nanny.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, go and rest!" Niu Yu said, "Zhen'er may be able to resolve it himself..." He could only say that.
Zhen'er looked at the prince and nodded: "It's okay, I won't be fine. The emperor is just on a whim. I won't go to bed with him."
"Lie..." Jianshen said, "Don't be his woman... Remember... don't..."
"My little ancestor." Madam Meng suddenly came up and hugged the prince Jianshen, "Madam maybe good luck is coming... She is not young anymore."
Madam Meng has many things that she doesn't know about.
Zhu Qizhen was paced back and forth.
The sedan chair came, and Zhen'er was dressed up and appeared in front of him. There were officials in charge of such matters in the emperor's bedroom.
Putting down the curtain, Zhen'er took off her coat, but found that the emperor was indeed frightened.
"Your Majesty, my position was not given by the Queen Mother... I think your Majesty must have misunderstood. I think he had misunderstood and thought he had relied on the trick of rumoring the news to get into the position outside." Zhen'er put on her coat, "Original Yiyiwei would never behave with the power, but some people would threaten the vassal king, so that you did something cold and heartless. The matter of King Yiyang was incomplete, so why do you insist on Lu Gao's words?"
"I originally thought... I thought... didn't you say that Lu Gao would not make a mistake?" Zhu Qizhen was anxious. "I also felt it was not true at the beginning. The tip you sent later... By Cao Jixiang said, "I would rather believe it than not believe it. This is King Ning's grandson. King Ning rebelled back then... He was also a thorn..."
"That's no reason..." Zhen'er said, "The foolish lord... No wonder the queen mother said you want to watch... how many people you killed, aren't you afraid of seeing the King of Hell in the future?"
"You scold me...you are bold...I am the emperor, who am I afraid of?" Zhu Qizhen said.
"Even one hand can kill you..." Zhen'er said, "At worst, I won't live anymore..."
"Speak well if you have something to do..." Zhu Qizhen became soft. It has been not once that he was threatened by others, but he knew his strength. The other party was from the Jinyiwei... To put it bluntly, the people from the Jinyiwei listened to her... They had no strength to deal with her, so why did they catch this woman by themselves? It was really a pity.
"Mrs. Sun is no wonder that you want someone to watch. She has been worried about your temper. But recently, you didn't listen much. The Empress Dowager asked Zhen'er to ask His Majesty if he cares if he is his biological child? If you really care, you might as well let go of all this..."
"Empress Dowager... Empress Dowager..." Zhu Qizhen was scared. Empress Dowager Sun had a greater face than himself. Over the years, he had figured out who was so important here. The court officials listened to Empress Dowager Sun, especially some virtuous civil officials.
"It's not that the Empress Dowager is not rude, but the emperor's biological mother cannot be known. She came to the Central Plains for a purpose, but now her children and grandchildren are in a difficult situation as nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. When the Empress Dowager Sun sent Zhen'er to send cold clothes, Zhen'er saw not only the emperor..."
"Then...who else have you met?" Zhu Qizhen was anxious. Has he met his biological mother before? Why didn't he feel it?
"I also met a man, a woman who was in the army, but she did not dare to have any contact with Your Majesty. It was the Queen Mother who asked me to find her, hoping to save Your Majesty's life, because the Oirats saw that the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to give them benefits, and they surrendered would definitely be detrimental to Your Majesty. The wolf on Your Majesty's chest could not have much effect. The woman who could work was the woman. At that time, the Queen Mother thought of so many ways to protect you..."
"Did that woman have a son named Boyan Timur, and his brother is Yeshen? Yeshen's mother is a Han Chinese. Do you know their whereabouts later? In fact, I was taken care of by them in the camp." Zhu Qizhen remembered that the women in the camp, Yeshen's mother was from the south, far away from their hometown, while Boyan Timur's mother was a Mongolian nobleman. They had seen him and treated him very kindly.
"Who is my biological mother among them?" Zhu Qizhen said, "You want to tell me...I want to know who did you give the Queen Mother's letter to?"
"Zhen'er really doesn't know that the letter was given to the wife of the highest status, and Zhen'er doesn't know what it is written in..." Zhen'er said.
"Who read it..." Zhu Qizhen asked in vain when he knew about it. Zhen'er would not peek at the letters, and even if she knew, she would not say it.
"Before my father died, let my second brother enter the palace..." Zhu Qizhen collapsed on the bed, "He knew the whole story best...Empress Sun..."
"The Empress Dowager has always been the woman whom the late emperor thinks is the most virtuous..." Zhen'er said, "The Empress Dowager Sun also thought that Empress Dowager Sun was worthy of responsibility, so she made Empress Hu give up the throne. After all, the mother of the emperor's only son must be innocent."
"My mother asked him to rush back?" Zhu Qizhen smiled bitterly, "Even there is no trace on the jade slip?"
Zhen'er stopped talking, she knew too much. In fact, the answer that Prince Jianshen wanted to know most was in her heart, but no one could tell this secret. Women gave birth to children, and there were too many such things.
"I want to find her..." Zhu Qizhen said softly, "Don't she suffer..."
"It's impossible... because His Majesty doesn't know who she is..."
"The Empress Dowager... The Empress Dowager knows..." Zhu Qizhen said, "I'll ask..." He left Zhen'er and left...
