Chapter 44 Disfigured Palace Maid VS Cold-blooded Emperor 44
Yu Yao soon learned of Ye Beichen’s punishment of Concubine Xian and Concubine De.
The virtuous concubine was deprived of her title, demoted to a commoner, and relegated to the cold palace.
This life is over.
De Fei's punishment was much lighter than that of Xian Fei. She was deprived of her title, downgraded to a promise, and moved to Huizhuzhai.
Although he still had a seat, he lived in Huizhuzhai.
Huizhuzhai is the quietest place in the entire harem. No one goes there all year round. It is right next to Leng Palace.
De Concubine living there is no different from living in the cold palace.
If he had not given birth to the eldest prince, he would probably have gone to the cold palace with the wise concubine to keep company.
The two culprits will be punished as they should, and all the eunuchs and maids involved will be killed with a cane. This matter can be considered an end.
The imperial decree quickly spread throughout the palaces, and the concubines of each palace also knew about it.
A few days ago, some people noticed that Eunuch Fu was investigating something again, but because the royal family kept the information strictly confidential, everyone could only guess secretly.
As the imperial edict was issued, everyone finally understood what was going on.
The harem has been childless for many years, and finally one of the palace concubines became pregnant. The emperor and the queen mother looked at her as if they were eyeballs, and someone actually dared to take action.
It’s really bold.
Everyone also felt that the two of them deserved it. If they dared to murder Long Si, they would naturally not end well.
However, because the punishment of the Virtuous Concubine was lighter than that of the Xian Concubine, the concubines in the palace once again realized the importance of heirs.
If you have an heir, you will have a life-saving talisman. Even if you don't survive, it will be different in the emperor's heart.
For a time, there was once again a craze in the harem for drinking fertility drugs and competing for favors.
I just hope to get a prince. Even if I can’t have a prince, even a princess is fine.
At least the deep palace won't be so lonely.
For a time, the entire harem was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Now, Ye Beichen dislikes going to those women's palaces even more.
After handling official duties every day, I will go to Yuexian Palace as scheduled.
This made the concubines in the harem more and more jealous of Yu Yao, and gave rise to a deep crisis, and even fear.
Concubine Yao is no longer favored, but favored alone.
How can this not scare the concubines in the harem?
Fengyi Palace
The queen slammed the teacup in her hand.
“Pa!”
The teacup instantly shattered and splashed tea all over the floor.
“The emperor is becoming more and more distrustful of me. This should be a matter that I am responsible for, but the emperor just doesn’t leave it to me to deal with it. He doesn’t even notify me afterwards, and just puts it into his hands. The imperial edict is issued, where will I put my face? "
The queen's expression is extremely ugly. The emperor does not respect her, and the concubine below will not take her seriously.
This made her feel more and more that her position was in danger.
Ruonan stepped forward at the right time and said, "Empress, do we still want to do this?"
The secret medicine had been brought back from Prince Duan's Mansion, but because he had never found a suitable opportunity to take action, he kept it in his hands.
The queen looked at Ruonan and understood what she meant. After thinking about it, she said: "Now is the storm, not a good time to make a move. It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while, and the emperor will definitely let me The palace is planning a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. I will look for an opportunity to do it then. "
"Yes, your Majesty."
Ruonan looked at the queen and said respectfully.
Zi Chen Palace!
"I have my original memorial. If nothing happens, I will withdraw from the court!" "I have my original memorial!"
The Prime Minister Fang Yuyang came out and saluted Ye Beichen who was sitting high above.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has been gentle and kind since she was a child. She would not even dare to trample an ant to death. There is absolutely no way she could plot to kill the dragon heir. I am afraid that someone among them might frame her, so please be careful, Your Majesty."
< br>Prime Minister Fang Yuyang is the father of Concubine Xian. Seeing his daughter being thrown into the cold palace, he is heartbroken and does not believe that his daughter dares to murder Long Si.
Ye Beichen squinted his eyes and looked at Prime Minister Fang, with a cold look in his eyes, and said mockingly: "You are gentle and kind, and you don't even dare to trample ants to death? Then Prime Minister, take a closer look at what this is?"
A booklet He flew down from the dragon chair and hit Prime Minister Fang heavily.
Prime Minister Fang bent down to pick up the booklet, opened it, and when he saw the contents inside, his expression became gloomy.
He closed the book, took off the black gauze hat on his head, knelt on the ground holding the black gauze hat, and said tremblingly: "I have no way to teach my daughter, and I have no face to continue to stand here, please ask The emperor has allowed the old minister to go home and retire."
Ye Beichen's face became colder and colder. If this old fox dares to play this trick with him, he really can't do his great job without him, right?
"Aiqing is old, and it is indeed time for her to take care of herself. Although I can't bear to leave her, I can't keep her any longer. I agree to your request."
Since I want to take care of myself, then Just go and raise it.
Looking at Prime Minister Fang’s astonished look, he smiled even more happily, and said again: "Prime Minister, your hard work has made great achievements. I will give you a mansion and ten thousand taels of gold. I will give you some other rewards later. Send it to the Prime Minister’s house.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Although the matter was beyond Prime Minister Fang’s expectations, there was no room for regret after the words were spoken, so he had to accept the order. Thank you.
He had no intention of resigning, but he just wanted to force the emperor so that he could treat the virtuous concubine leniently.
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't buy it at all, but instead allowed him to resign.
The courtiers secretly laughed at Prime Minister Fang, feeling that Prime Minister Fang could not see clearly and took himself too seriously.
King Duan, who was standing at the front of the ministers, secretly winked at Taifu Min, who was standing behind him.
Tafu Min saw King Duan’s eyes and understood instantly, then stood up and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, although Concubine Yao is pregnant, she has not given birth successfully, and I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. I feel that the Emperor should not stop looking for a suitable heir."
Ye Beichen squinted his eyes. Taifu Xiang Min sneered, "Who do you think is suitable for you to choose?" Immediately decide who to choose, you can recruit him into the palace to train him first, and see which one is more suitable as the successor."
Ye Beichen looked at King Duan, his eyes became colder, and asked meaningfully: "Which King Duan? What do you think?”
“This”
King Duan wanted to say that this move was the best, but in this way, he would openly tell others that he coveted the throne.
The Marquis of Zhenguo glanced at Prince Duan and Taifu Min, stood up and said disdainfully: "In the past, no concubine was pregnant, so she had to adopt from the clan, but now Concubine Yao is pregnant, which shows that she is able to give birth. , why is it necessary to adopt from the clan?”
“Concubine Yao doesn’t even know whether she has a boy or a girl in her belly, let alone gave birth to a girl.”
Tafu Min didn’t finish speaking. He was interrupted by Zhen Guohou.
"Then let's wait until Concubine Yao is born. If we rush to select people to train in the palace, if Concubine Yao gives birth to a prince, wouldn't the status of the person being cultivated be very embarrassing?"
"What's the embarrassment? If Concubine Yao really gives birth to a prince, just send him back."
Ye Beichen snorted coldly: "You worry about me all day long, since you all care so much about me. Well, I'll also care about you."
“I heard that Taifu’s legitimate daughter has a good relationship with Prince Duan’s eldest son, so I gave them a marriage and ordered them to get married within three months.”
Duan Wang and Taifu’s confrontation Looking at it, I was a little confused as to what the emperor meant.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage!”
Prince Duan and Tai Tu both expressed their gratitude in unison.
Ye Beichen's plan is very simple, which is to completely tie these two people together, so that when the time comes, they can all be caught in one fell swoop.
Don’t think he can’t tell, Taifu helped King Duan covet the position under his butt.
The reason why there is no solution is that we have not caught these two old foxes.
