female concubine

Chapter 40 Keding Jue Family

"Sister is awake?"

The quilt squirmed gently, causing the person lying on it to wake up. After raising his head and rubbing his eyes for a while, he showed a relieved smile, "Sister slept all night, what do you want to eat?"

The person whose complexion recovered a little just shook his head slightly, looked around, and looked at her with tight eyes, "I...why am I here, I'm not." Suddenly there was a sharp pain in her head, and she couldn't help but Hold it down without covering your hands.

Seeing this, the King of Chu anxiously moved closer and touched his forehead. The high fever from last night had subsided, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, sister, she's fine."

"That's right." She remembered what happened yesterday, "On the way back to Beijing, I was intercepted by a group of people. They chased me all the way to Gyeonggi, and my horse stumbled when I was crossing the bridge. I..." She looked at Jing Jing on the case again. Putting the stove on, he said in surprise, "Yesterday it was King Zhao... Then it was you, I remember that much, what's going on?"

King Chu fixed his eyes, eyes full of guilt, "I have been staying in Dali Temple for three days and never came back. During the day, the crown prince came to look for me, but I never thought that he would really do it." She didn't Knowing that Xiao Youqing left the palace and went to Jinling, "Those people are the prince's people. When King Zhao got the news, he went to Da Nei to ask His Majesty for the order to leave the city, and he rushed all the way to arrive in time to save you. He sent someone Send me a letter, I happened to meet you when I was out of the city, fortunately in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." After she finished speaking, she took another breath.

Xiao Youqing was lying on the couch, staring at her weakly, staring at her rosy eyes, and asked tremblingly: "Really?"

The King of Chu nodded, and said guiltily, "It's my fault that I didn't arrive in time, which caused my sister to be in danger. It's also my fault that I didn't think carefully and didn't realize the cruelty of the thief." Then he complained again with trembling lips. : "But my sister went to Jiangning Mansion...why didn't you tell me, why?"

Looking at the tears in his eyes, Xiao Youqing turned his head away from him and closed his eyes without answering.

Seeing Xiao Youqing like this, the King of Chu had no choice but to withdraw his outstretched hand tremblingly, hanging down as if losing strength, "Sister, do you not believe me, or are you already...tired of Liulang?"

"Actually, it's hard to see through, and you, my sister, because the fake is too real, and Liu Lang thinks that the real is also fake, but even so," she knelt up straight, moved closer to the bed and choked up: "Liu Lang Still knowing it can’t be done.”

She lowered her head again and tremblingly said: "If all of this is false, then please sister, please continue to deceive, because Liu Lang is still in the dark for fear of waking up from the dream!"

Xiao Youqing still didn't answer, nor did she turn her head, and the kneeling people didn't see the tears shed from the corners of her eyes, so they stood in a stalemate for a long time, and the atmosphere froze for a long time.

"The imperial doctor said that my sister's cold air has entered her body and she needs some time to rest. I'll go to see if the porridge in the kitchen is ready. My sister will eat first and then take the medicine."

The king of Chu left the room, Xiao Youqing still didn't speak, and didn't ask to stay until Xichun came in with a sad face.

"Girl, you've woken up."

Only then did Xiao Youqing turn around, "Yan Wang said that I am not too bad, so the judge dare not sentence me to death."

"It's like this, girl, you still have the mind to joke, how should I explain to the eldest lady." Xichun frowned, looked outside the door and then turned back, "The way my uncle went out just now, it was you and him Did you say something?"

Xiao Youqing shook his head, "I didn't say anything."

"Then why is he so depressed?"

"Who knows!"

For the remaining two days, the King of Chu asked Dali Temple for leave, and waited day and night in front of the couch to take care of him. He didn't leave for Dali Temple until Xiao Youqing recovered and was able to get out of bed on his own. Take the unfinished official business home or put it away.

"Ah Lang, the verdict executed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice has come down. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the death penalty will be imposed and executed after autumn. Even if Jiang Jiansheng is found guilty, his life will be over, and it may even bring disaster to Mr. Jiang."

The soup bowl was broken and the medicine was scattered all over the floor. He stared blankly at the room, filled with regret, "Jiang Luochuan is Jiang Fuping's son-in-law, and also her brother-in-law. Spring is coming soon..."

The King of Chu suddenly closed his eyes, and thought deeply: "Send someone to change a bowl of medicine and send it in, prepare the horse."

"Where is Aaron going?"

"Ouchi."

"Is Alang going to ask His Majesty again?"

The sound of cups being crushed came from the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion's mansion, even so, the officials waiting at the entrance of the courtyard did not dare to enter.

"What exactly does your majesty want to do?" Wei Shu is now anxious and angry. "Since your majesty let me out of the cabinet, he has delegated power to King Zhao and kept the East Palace in check. What exactly does your majesty want to do? I am also his son. He gave me Is the position of the crown prince just a status?"

Tong Pingzhang frowned and shook his head immediately, "The old minister never thought that His Majesty would give the king of Chu an order to leave the city, so that she could get her life back!" Then he frowned, "Thousands of calculations, but still not counted , Your heart is unpredictable!"

"The king of Chu entered the palace through Zhao Wang's mansion. Except for Zhao Wang, who has such courage, His Majesty must know that I did it. I am the prince..." Wei Shu looked at himself With trembling hands, "What should I do?"

"Liang Jieyuan, by the way, Liang Jieyuan might have an idea!" Wei Shu suddenly remembered the tribute.

Tong Pingzhang grabbed the crown prince who was about to get up, and said with relief: "Your Highness, don't worry, the matter has passed for so many days, but there is no news from the Chu Palace and the palace, which means that your Majesty promised the Chu King I also protected you, Your Highness." The emperor gave the king of Chu the decree to leave the city, but at the same time, he also asked the king of Chu to promise that he would not pursue it again.

"Besides, His Majesty knows about the East Palace and the Zhengshitang, so he still ordered me and Lu Wei to concurrently serve as Zhi Gongju and be in charge of this scientific examination."

"King Zhao, King Chu, and grandson are not afraid, but His Majesty's actions really scare grandson..."

"Your Highness, please rest assured that everything is guaranteed by the old minister. I promised to protect and assist Your Highness when the empress was on her way. I will never break my promise, and I will never let you down, Your Highness the Empress."

A servant from the Eastern Palace came in from the courtyard, stood in the distance and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness, the Eastern Palace has good news."

"Chen Liangdi has it."

Wei Shu's eyes widened, "Bengong, did you hear me right?"

"Return to Your Highness, Imperial Physician Yang just went to the East Palace to ask for pulse, and said that Di Liang is three months pregnant."

"Hahaha, the old minister is here to congratulate His Highness on becoming a father." Tong Pingzhang stroked his white beard.

"I'm going to be a father..." Wei Shu immediately stood up and bowed to Tong Pingzhang, "The grandson's son is also Weng Weng's great-grandson, and the grandson and Weng Weng are happy together."

Tong Pingzhang nodded, and said lovingly: "Let's put aside the government affairs first, go back and see Concubine Liang, the most important moment, don't let her get cold."

"Grandson knows, grandson is leaving."

So the prince hurried back to the East Palace without stopping.

Although Chen Liangdi was favored, the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace were still taken care of by the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess was also in the palace where Chen Liangdi lived.

"Your Highness is back."

The concubine stood up to greet her, but the prince did not meet her eyes, Wei Shu skipped the concubine and walked straight to Chen Liangdi's bed, "My concubine has worked hard."

"Being able to give birth to an heir for His Highness, I don't think it's hard work."

"Whatever my concubine wants to eat, I will ask the Dian Shan Bureau to make it. If it doesn't suit my taste, I will ask the Shang Shi Bureau in Da Nei to prepare delicious food and send it to the East Palace. Also," the prince turned to look at the person beside him. A group of servants and palace maids said, "From today on, everything that Emperor Liang takes will be tested by the people from the Drug Storehouse Bureau first, and then you can try it and confirm that it is safe before taking it."

The servants said in unison, "Yes."

"Your Highness, don't be so nervous, concubine..."

"He is the eldest son of my palace, the eldest grandson of the emperor of Song Dynasty, how can he be careless." His brows were beaming with joy.

"Your Highness, someone from Ouchi is here, and His Majesty has summoned you."

"Understood." The crown prince turned his head and patted Chen Liangdi's hand again, "I still wanted to announce the good news to His Majesty when I was in a coma, and I just came when I was summoned."

"Is Your Highness going to see His Majesty in the palace?"

"Hey, wait for Ben Gong to come back."

"Then what about the golden hairpin that His Highness promised to his concubine before?"

Wei Shu laughed loudly, "When I come back, you can do whatever you want!"

"That concubine is waiting for His Highness, Your Highness is not allowed to deceive concubines, and is not allowed to break his promise."

"Okay." After finishing speaking, the crown prince got up and left the pavilion, and when he stepped out of the door, seeing the crown princess was still there, he said coldly: "Liangdi, please take care of the crown princess, I don't want bad news to come from here out."

The Crown Princess nodded, "I know." Even though she received the Prince's cold stare, she still reminded with concern: "Your Highness, please be careful when entering the palace. Your Majesty is calling at this time..."

"Women are in charge of the inner house, and the outer court should not be involved in matters, so don't bother the princess to worry about."

Half an hour ago.

The prison gate officer stopped the king of Chu who wanted to enter at Donghua Gate.

"Six kings, without His Majesty's will, you cannot enter the palace privately."

"Dali Temple is in charge, I have important matters, please see Your Majesty!" King Chu held out his official seal.

In Wende Palace where he was resting at the back, the emperor lowered his head, turned a page of the book and lifted it up, looking at the king of Chu who could not kneel down. Want to claim credit from me?"

The King of Chu raised his head, "I beg Your Majesty to be extra merciful and pardon Mrs. Jiang."

Because Jiang was hiding a gambler, and because he was the son of a high-ranking official who knew the law and violated the law for the Imperial College, he was severely convicted of beheading. He used this to warn all the officials in the capital. Then he frowned, "You were the one who judged the first trial of the case, and there is your official seal of Dali Temple on the case record. He, Jiang Fuping, didn't come to intercede, but you, why?" Before the King of Chu could speak, the emperor sneered again , "For a woman with a foreign surname..."

The King of Chu raised his head and said forcefully, "She is the minister's wife!"
