Chapter 724 A chance to live
She thought that the two maids gifted by the queen were restless and wanted to harm Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan shook his head, "No, it's..."
She told her what happened in the palace.
Qinghui did not go to the palace to attend the banquet because it was not full moon and it was freezing outside. The Queen Mother also gave her leave in advance and refused to let her go.
Unexpectedly, without her going, there would be someone at the banquet who dared to plot against Xia Zihan.
Qinghui said, "Chu Yu, when you enter the palace from now on, I will accompany you. As long as I am here, the queen will have to take care of everything."
"Anyway, I am the emperor's cousin, and can also be regarded as the queen's sister-in-law. If the queen dares to embarrass you in front of me, huh, then I won't give her a good look."
Qinghui's face was filled with anger.
Xia Zihan felt sweet in her heart and said with a smile, "I don't have to enter the palace this year. I have a severe pregnancy reaction. The Queen Mother also knows that she will not recruit me into the palace. The Queen... an old lady who was her personal assistant died. It’s time for her to stop.”
If he doesn't stop and still wants to cause trouble for her, then the Queen will really be hopeless.
Xia Zihan thought for a while and then said to Qinghui, "Go back and tell my elder brother and ask him to secretly check and find out when I have offended the queen. I really can't remember, but... the queen kept doing it again and again. The third one is targeting me, I think, there must be a reason for this.”
Qinghui looked at her with a strange look, which made Xia Zihan feel confused. She touched her face and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that you will bring danger to my elder brother?"
< br>
Qinghui rolled her eyes and said, "You are usually very smart, why have you become stupid at this time? Is it because pregnancy has made you stupid?"
"What do you mean?" Xia Zihan was still confused as a monk, "Speak clearly."
Qinghui said quickly, "The queen will target you because the emperor treats you differently and takes care of you in all kinds of ways, which makes her jealous."
"This woman, no matter how noble her status is or how high she sits, once she sees her man being nice to other women, she will become jealous and jealous. Once this woman becomes jealous, she will do anything. That means there is no sense at all, the queen will want to harm you, she is just jealous of you and takes advantage of you.”
"Think about it, she has been married to my cousin for how many years, but she hasn't even given birth to a legitimate son. You said, she can't give birth to a child. Anyway, she is not the only one who has my cousin." Woman, but she doesn’t give birth, and she won’t let other women give birth to my cousin. , you don’t know, during the year you were away, two concubines in the harem miscarried for various reasons inexplicably. One of them was six months pregnant, and the child was a boy. My cousin also So sad.”
"When any of those concubines became pregnant, the emperor did not treat them as ancestors, but he was so careful that the child was aborted."
"Then it's not an accident. There are so many accidents in the harem. It's definitely man-made."
"The harem is just a slap in the face. There are only two people who dare to take away the child in the concubine's belly. The queen mother cannot do it, so the only one left is the queen. But there is no real evidence for this kind of thing, so we can only rely on speculation. The emperor and the queen mother can't do anything to her."
"Her mother's family is not easy to control. If you want to get the queen down, you must have real evidence. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the emperor to take action."
Qinghui Balabala started a cup of tea and said she was thirsty, so she took two sips of the fruit juice that Chuqing poured for her. After drinking, she continued talking.
"As for what happened last time, the scapegoat was another concubine. According to my aunt, that concubine was so honest that she didn't dare to kill the prince and grandson. But when the emperor investigated the matter, he investigated her. There was real evidence, and she didn’t deny it, so the emperor had no choice but to put her to death. She also exiled all her family members. You said that the concubine was also unlucky. "The Queen Mother knew that she was being framed and wanted to save her life. But with the real evidence in front of her, the concubine did not complain. In the end, the Queen Mother failed to save her. ”
"And the winner in the end was the queen. Not only did she get rid of three opponents at once, but she also got rid of two bastards who could threaten the status of her legitimate son." Although the legitimate son has not yet been born, Don't know where.
Xia Zihan never knew about this. She only found out after Qinghui told her.
She was stunned and incredulous, "The queen harmed me because she was jealous of my pregnancy and the emperor's care for me?"
"Then what do you think it is?" Qinghui rolled her eyes, "The queen is very jealous, but she doesn't show it obviously on weekdays, and not many people know it."
Then, she told Xia Zihan a secret, "Every time the emperor spends the night with other concubines, the queen will keep accounts. If any concubine receives more love from the emperor, no matter who she is, the queen will find it." Make excuses to embarrass her.”
"In the past, the harem was in the hands of the queen. It was not a big deal, so it was not spread. Later, because of Princess Zhengna's incident, the queen fell down, so the queen mother took back her phoenix seal, and the queen mother took over. I found out about the affairs in the harem”
The Queen Mother had a good relationship with my mother-in-law, so she muttered a few words in front of my mother-in-law. However, seeing that the Queen had been honest for a while, and that the Queen Mother also lacked energy, she returned the Phoenix Seal to the Queen. ”
"The Queen Mother doesn't know what happened that day. Yesterday, I went into the palace to visit the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said it was all her fault for not keeping an eye on the Queen. She told you not to worry. Just send those two maids away. Don't worry about what the Queen will do. Think.”
Qinghui said.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, she wanted to nurse herself back to health, so she did not go to the palace. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, she went to the palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother, who pulled her and talked a lot.
After all, he just worried about Chu Yu and asked her to come to Anjun Prince's Mansion to visit her.
She hadn't seen Chu Yu for a long time and missed her, so she came over.
"Qinghui, the next time you enter the palace, you tell the Queen Mother that I am fine. Let that matter pass. I have already sent away one of the two maids who was restless. Let's look at the other one. ”
"If you keep it, you won't be afraid of causing trouble?" Princess Qinghui looked disapproving and suggested, "How about sending my village up? I happen to be short of two people."
It's not such a coincidence.
Are you deliberately trying to help her out of trouble?
Xia Zihan smiled warmly and said, "Let's call her over and see what she thinks."
She guessed that since Ding Jie knew current affairs, she was not a difficult person.
Since she was easy to talk to and reasonable, she was willing to give Ding Jie a chance to live.
Soon, Chu Meng brought Ding Jie.
As soon as Ding Jie entered the door, she bent her knees and knelt on the ground, kowtowing, "I have seen the princess."
