Chapter 46 Princess Langhuan (Please collect and read)
"Your Majesty! Spare your life! Your Majesty!"
"The Queen Mother, please spare my life, the Queen Mother, please let my family go, please..."
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother..."
The screams of Fangcao and Wang Po were still echoing, but they were still pulled out mercilessly by Jin Yiwei.
Soon, there was a banging sound outside.
If we talk about the death penalty, except for Ling Chi, death with a stick is the most brutal one.
An intact person was beaten to death with a wooden stick, and no one could resist it.
It's not like beheading, it's gone as soon as the eyes are closed.
In the Queen's palace, everyone was silent and did not dare to breathe.
The four babies seemed to be frightened by this tense atmosphere and started crying immediately.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The queen reacted and said quickly: "My child, quickly bring my child..."
The mother-in-law who was holding the queen's daughter quickly took two steps and handed her daughter to the queen.
"Woo woo woo, my child, my child..."
The queen mother on the side couldn't help but said: "Lin'er doesn't have to be sad, it will be good as long as the child comes back."
"Emperor."
Then, she said to Zheng Yi: "Fangcao is an old man in the palace after all. He has been taking care of the Ai family and the queen for more than 20 years. He has worked hard and achieved great results."
"Although he committed a capital crime, his family is innocent. I hope the emperor can be merciful and spare Fangcao's family..."
"Oh? How is the Queen Mother going to deal with it?"
"Just, how about being exiled to Nanyue County like Mrs. Wang and her family?"
"Huh..."
Zheng Yi sneered and said: "Fangcao is suspected of murdering the emperor's heir. Does the queen really want to plead for her?"
"If I hadn't noticed today, the royal heir would have been replaced by someone long ago!"
"This son has committed such a heinous crime, how can I let him go?"
"If everyone else plots to kill the emperor's heir for their own selfish interests, or even goes one step further, I think even if they fail, they will just be exiled."
"In exchange for a hundred years of wealth and peace for the family, one person took risks and did some treacherous things."
"Queen Mother, do you really want to do this?"
"This..."
The Queen Mother's face was also very ugly, and she could only say: "Just listen to the emperor in everything."
"Cheng'en."
"The slave is here."
"Find out the identities of those three pregnant women and take them all away!"
"No!"
Soon, all the people in the palace retreated, leaving only the Queen Mother, the Empress, Zheng Yi, and the child in her arms.
Zheng Yi said straightforwardly: "Mother, I don't want to delve into this matter anymore. That's the end of it."
"There must be no chaos in the harem."
"The Ai family knows."
The Queen Mother said: "After returning home, the Ai family will go to Yuhua Pavilion to worship the Buddha. They will not leave the pavilion unless it is an important matter."
"So good."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Lin'er, you have just given birth, please take more rest."
"This matter has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart."
Lu Lin'er became anxious and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you haven't named our daughter yet."
"Name..."
Zheng Yi said: "Let's call her Yuhuan, Zheng Yuhuan. I will give you the title: Princess Langhuan."
"Princess Langhuan?"
The queen said in surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"And Lin'er, you just gave birth and need to rest. Leave the affairs of the Prime Minister's Sixth Palace to Concubine Duan."
Before she could speak, Zheng Yi said: "Okay, Lin'er, you should have a good rest, I have something important to do."
After that, he turned around and left without giving the two women a chance to speak.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Emperor..."
Lu Lin'er lay on the bed, looking at Zheng Yi's leaving figure, full of grief.
"Uuuuuuu, Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with me, it really doesn't matter..."
The Queen Mother patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hey Lin'er, stop shouting. The Ai family is a little anxious this time. Alas..." "Aunt, why? Why?"
Lu Lin'er said with red eyes: "Your Majesty is still young. Since he and I have a daughter, if you give us some time, there will definitely be a prince. Why are you so anxious?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "The Ai family is not for you, but for the Lu family?"
"Did you know that now the emperor is obsessed with cultivating immortality and has even formed an organization called the 'cabinet' to direct national affairs."
"Although your father was elected to the cabinet, he was only the second assistant and not the first assistant. The first assistant was Xu Mujun!"
"Today, Xu Mujun has gained power by suppressing Yang Ni's rebellion. If this continues, our Lu family will inevitably have conflicts with them."
"Even your position as queen may be taken away by that concubine Duan!"
The Queen Mother said cautiously: "It would be better if you gave birth to a prince, but it is a pity that you are a princess. If Concubine Duan gives birth to a prince, Your Majesty will have the idea of ​​establishing a heir apparent..."
"No, no."
Lu Lin'er quickly shook her head and said: "Brother Emperor still loves me. Aunt, look at the title she gave Huan'er, Princess Langhuan, that is..."
Speaking of this, Lu Lin'er suddenly stopped.
"Princess Zheng Yuhuan, Huan'er, and Langhuan?"
"How, how could it be..."
The Queen Mother then said: "Did you just react?"
"Princess Zheng Yuhuan, Huan'er, and Langhuan."
"Your Majesty named your eldest daughter 'Huan', which is exactly the same as the concubine Yang Huan, the daughter of the guilty minister, just to warn you and me."
"Furthermore, His Majesty also took back your power of Prime Minister and Sixth Palace and handed it over to Concubine Duan. Are you still awake?"
The Queen Mother breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Lin'er, aunt is going to Yuhua Pavilion for meditation. There will be very few opportunities to help you in the future."
"Fortunately, Aunt Fangcao took care of what happened today, but it's a pity that the emperor didn't give me the chance to save Fangcao's family."
"From now on, people around Aijia will no longer think about Aijia in everything."
"From now on, I can only rely on you in this huge palace."
The queen looked sad and said: "Queen Mother, Lin and Lin'er know..."
On the way back to the palace, Liu Chengen walked up quickly.
"Your Majesty, the identities of the three pregnant women have been found out."
"Oh? What are their identities?"
"Two of them were peasant women from mountain villages around the capital. They were taken into the palace at night a month ago. They didn't know what happened and thought they were kidnapped by gangsters."
Liu Chengen said: "But the third person is a woman from a branch of the Lu family, who has already been admitted to the palace."
"Which pregnant woman gave birth to that boy?"
"The Lu family..."
"The Lu family is very good, Queen Mother!"
Zheng Yi murmured: "The person in charge of this matter must be the Queen Mother, and the Queen may be vaguely aware of it. As for Lu Xiangqing..."
Lu Xiangqing, the second assistant to the cabinet.
In Zheng Yi's mind, Lu Xiang's appearance as a thin old man appeared.
He is already a very popular minister, and with Xu Mujun pressing on him, he will not do such a desperate thing.
On the contrary, it was the Queen Mother.
As a woman, what she is best at is these harem intrigues.
But as the Queen Mother, she cannot be convicted unless she is guilty of a huge crime.
Unless...
Zheng Yi thought to himself, but saw a little eunuch running over in a hurry.
"Stop!"
Liu Chengen stepped in front of Zheng Yi: "Your Majesty is here, how can you behave in such a panic?"
The little eunuch knelt down on the ground with a 'pop' and said quickly: "Eunuch Liu, you said before that if there is news about Master Shen Xing, you will be the first to report it, and this slave will..."
"Shen Xing is back?"
Zheng Yi said in surprise: "Where?"
"Back to your Majesty, Lord Shen Xing Shen is indeed back and is now waiting for the summons outside Zhonghe Hall!"
"Quickly pass on Shen Xing!"
Zheng Yi said with satisfaction: "You did a good job, what's your name?"
"Slave Xiao Guizi!"
"From now on, just wait for dispatch in Qiankun Hall."
"No~!"
