The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 451 Queen Mother (Part 2)

The matter of King Ning was of great importance, which shamed the entire royal family. The emperor tried his best to suppress the news, and even showed Yuan Tang kindness and power, hoping that he would keep his mouth shut about this incident.

Yuan Tang agreed, and the emperor couldn't care what happened in the dark.

Unless Yuantang was killed, the gap here would be safe. However, the emperor was not a tyrant after all, and even in terms of methods, he was far worse than the empress dowager Zhuang and the first emperor.

The emperor asked King Rui and his wife to keep their mouths shut. They were the most honest, and they really wouldn't say anything unless they agreed.

Afterwards, the emperor asked the Dragon Shadow Guard to capture King Ning's confidant guard Qi Fei and hand it over to Eunuch Wei. Whether it was torture or coercion, he had to ask about what happened four years ago.

Eunuch Wei tossed and tossed for a whole day and night, and when he came to return to his command, his hair was all messed up, and he tidied up his appearance outside the door.

"Okay, come in!" said the emperor impatiently.

Eunuch Wei entered the house and served the emperor for many years. The relationship between master and servant has already been extremely deep. He looked at the emperor with a complicated expression, and hesitated to speak.

"Say." The emperor said, "I can bear it."

Eunuch Wei sighed: "The murderer four years ago was indeed His Royal Highness King Ning."

The cup in the emperor's hand hit the ground and shattered with a bang.

...

"It's not good! It's not good, ma'am! Your Majesty is going to abolish King Ning!"

Inside the Yongshou Palace, a court lady rushed in with her skirt in a panic, Concubine Zhuang's face suddenly changed, she didn't care about her makeup and hair, she just half combed her hair, turned around and went to Huaqing Palace.

She knelt on the ground with King Ning. King Ning seemed to be crushed by the blow, and his face was ashen. Concubine Zhuang walked up to the emperor on her knees, grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, and begged, "Your Majesty! Don't waste Han'er! Han'er is your own son... You watched him grow up bit by bit...At that time, Han'er was the only child in the six princes' residence...Have you forgotten how much Your Majesty loves Han'er?"

She burst into tears!

Isn't the emperor sad?

The son belonged to him, and he didn't pick it up on the side of the road!

Among so many children, King Ning was the only one who grew up by his side since he was a child. He personally raised him. As the prince of a country, he changed his diapers, bathed him, fed him, and taught him his homework.

King Ning's first smile was given to him, and King Ning's first step was also walking towards him.

At that time, just because he was an idle prince with no major affairs in his hands, growing up with his eldest son almost became the most meaningful thing in his life.

Later, he became emperor.

after that,

He had Empress Xiao and many children.

The eldest son is still the most special existence in his heart, but it is not the only thing he cares about.

He has a lot of things to care about. They are monarchs and ministers first, and then father and son. They all say that the Tian Family is ruthless, but why does his heart hurt so much?

Seeing that the emperor was unmoved, Concubine Zhuang Guifei's eyes turned cold little by little. She let go of the hand holding the emperor's hem, knelt back and sat on the cold ground, and raised her red eyes to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please execute our mother and son," she said.

The emperor frowned.

Eunuch Wei also looked horrified, he didn't expect Concubine Zhuang Gui to say such outrageous words.

Let the emperor kill his imperial concubine and his own son, maybe it's not that the trouble is not big enough.

Concubine Zhuang raised her hand to wipe the tears off her cheeks, but as soon as she wiped them away, tears continued to fall.

She sneered: "Your Majesty has been waiting for this day for a long time, hasn't he? Our mother and son have blocked His Majesty's eyes and blocked His Majesty's way."

The emperor said coldly: "Your concubine, what are you talking about!"

Concubine Zhuang complained: "The concubine is not talking nonsense. The concubine is your majesty's first wife. After your majesty ascended the throne, he did not enshrine the concubine as the queen. They all said that wives who are filthy will not go down. What's the difference? When His Majesty sees our mother and son, he will think of this disgraceful decision of his own. We are His Majesty's heart disease. Your Majesty's long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Get rid of this heart disease!"

The emperor was so angry with Concubine Zhuang that he didn't want to care about others.

"I can see that the reason why Han'er became what she is now is because you taught me to ruin it!"

What she thinks in her heart is how she behaves on weekdays. It is she who instilled in Han'er all the thoughts that should belong to their mother and son, causing Han'er to lose balance and embark on a road of no return.

Isn't the reason obvious enough why he didn't let Zhuang Mingzhu be the queen back then?

With Empress Xiao and Marquis Xuanping restraining him, the Zhuang family still covers the sky with only one hand. It is conceivable that if Qin Chuhan became the queen's son, the first thing the Zhuang family did was to kill him, the emperor, and support Qin Chuhan to ascend the throne in a legitimate way!

Of course, his decision at that time was based on the premise that he was afraid of the Empress Dowager Zhuang and the Zhuang family at the same time.

Now that he understands that his mother has no intention of harming him, he still doesn't regret his original decision.

As long as Zhuang Mingzhu becomes the queen, there is no guarantee that the dealer will not attack him. Whether Empress Dowager Zhuang connives at the dealer to assassinate him, or Empress Dowager Zhuang breaks up with the dealer in order to protect him, it will inevitably lead to a bloody storm in the court.

And at that time, he was drugged by Concubine Jing, and he hated Empress Dowager Zhuang very much, and he would not accept Empress Dowager Zhuang's affection at all, so the worst result would be that all three losers.

State-owned internal troubles will inevitably provoke foreign troubles.

Zhuang Guifei pleaded with the emperor to no avail, so she got up again and went to Renshou Palace.

It is impossible for the Empress Dowager Zhuang not to have heard of such a big event. She also expected that Concubine Zhuang Gui would come to find her, but she didn't hide and asked Eunuch Qin to let him in.

As soon as Concubine Zhuang entered the Empress Dowager Zhuang's bedroom, she rushed to Empress Dowager Zhuang's feet like crazy, hugged Empress Dowager Zhuang's legs tightly, and cried: "Auntie...please save Han'er...save him... Han'er is your grandson...is your own grandnephew...his blood is flowing like yours...you save him...aunt...you save him..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes deeply, and said: "You ask Aijia to save him, then who will save Xiao Heng and who will save Wen Yang?"

Concubine Zhuang quibbled: "Wen Yang's death is not a pity! He has bad conduct and evil intentions..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at her coldly: "Wen Yang has bad conduct, your son has done such a thing, but you still have the face to criticize Wen Yang for his bad conduct and evil intentions."

Concubine Zhuang excitedly said: "What I said is the truth!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said angrily, "That's not a crime that deserves death!"

"Auntie!" Concubine Zhuang raised her head and looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang with aggrieved eyes.

Empress Dowager Zhuang also looked down at her: "Okay, you said Wen Yang deserves to die, but what about Xiao Heng? Why is he so virtuous and caring?"

Concubine Zhuang's eyes flashed, and she said: "He, he, he is Empress Xiao's most beloved nephew! He is the son of Xuan Pinghou! Auntie, the Xiao family has caused so much harm to our mother and son, Empress Xiao and the crown prince have taken away my mother. Everything that should belong to our mother and son, can Han'er just avenge herself?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly: "You think so!"

Concubine Zhuang knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly changed her words: "I, I, no, aunt, I was just angry! What I really want to say is that Han'er must not have harmed Xiao Heng, they wronged him! They framed Han'er! "

Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly: "Really? Even the emperor wants to wrong his own son!"

Concubine Zhuang Gui was startled for a moment, then gritted her teeth, and said angrily: "Auntie, you just don't want to save Han'er, because Han'er sent someone to arrest the champion of the new discipline who looks like Xiao Heng. Much better than Han'er! My aunt is biased! My aunt doesn't even think about what she got her status today! Without the banker, would my aunt be where she is today? Your Majesty suspected her many times back then. It was only because of the troubles caused by her that she fell to this point, but now my aunt and His Majesty have settled their suspicions, and the relationship between mother and child is deep, poor me and Han'er have become stepping stones for all of you!"

Concubine Zhuang was kicked out.

Empress Dowager Zhuang slumped on a chair, leaning her back weakly.

Queen Mother Zhuang couldn't be indifferent to King Ning's accident. At any rate, she hurt herself, whether it was King An or King Ning, they were all her more pleasing children.

If you don't compare Ning Wang and Xiao Liulang, there is not much comparison, the two feelings are not the same.

But in this matter, Queen Mother Zhuang did not favor Xiao Liulang.

It was King Ning who did make a mistake.

"Queen Mother." Eunuch Qin came in with a bowl of ginseng soup, "You haven't eaten in the past two days, and your complexion looks bad, drink some ginseng soup to replenish your body, otherwise Miss Gu and Xiao Xiuzhuan will have another Worry about it."

Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed: "The Ai family can't drink it."

Eunuch Qin comforted him: "You don't have to take what your concubine said to you."

The Empress Dowager Zhuang said wearily: "She is like this in front of Aijia, I really don't know how she taught her children in private. Aijia also made mistakes, Aijia gave them the illusion that they shouldn't have."

She has a high position and power, and is at odds with the emperor, so people think that she will break with the emperor one day.
