Chapter 51
Chapter 51
"My daughter, you went to the sandy land on the Turkic side, what happened?" Concubine Liu Xian cried holding Princess Langhua.
The sixth prince, Shang Long, gritted his teeth angrily: "It's all because of Bai Yu's bad ideas. This has annoyed Li Xiang, and we don't even have time to turn around."
Originally, as long as this marriage is not announced to the world, there is still room for change.
Now Bai Yu gave Lang Hua a bad idea, and his mother and concubine also thought it was feasible, and the two cried in front of the emperor.
But he didn't want his father to say that he was thinking about it.
The result of the consideration was to summon Li Xiang to the palace for tea and explain the matter clearly.
Li Xiang was old and cunning, knowing that the emperor was not only testing him, but also announcing the result to him.
Li Xiangchou had to go back to the mansion to discuss with his wife, but he didn't want Li Feiluan to hear about it.
Li Feiluan knew his father well, he had always been wise and safe in the court, and never stood in line, this time he was able to worry like this, it is likely that this matter has been settled.
She has a strong temper, and she would rather die alone than marry someone she doesn't want to marry.
What's more, although the Turkic prince looks good, he is a short man. Li Feiluan's eyes are higher than the top, how could he fall in love with such a short man?
So that night, in front of Li Xiang and his wife, she scratched her face with a hairpin.
That night, the imperial doctor came in and out, and Li Xiang seemed to have aged ten years overnight. He wisely saved his life all his life, but in the end he couldn't even keep his favorite daughter.
So he gathered all the officials and challenged the emperor directly at the court hall on the second day, demanding that Princess Langhua marry the Turkic prince.
The Turkic prince even heard some rumors that he was afraid that the emperor would marry Li Feiluan, a woman with disabled hands and a disfigured face, who stopped a man's carriage in the street and pursued him like a prince's son.
So he entered the palace overnight, and wholeheartedly asked to marry Princess Langhua.
Although Shang Qianxian was reluctant to part with Princess Langhua, he prioritized state affairs.
What's more, the Turks have been full of sincerity over the years, not only paying tribute on time, but also never crossing the border. He can't hurt the peace between the two countries.
So this matter was settled like this, and there was not even a leeway for turning around.
The sixth prince was furious, this Bai Yu was really not an easy-going lamp, just a few words caused the whole court to be in turmoil.
The eunuch came in and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is asking to see you."
Concubine Liu Xian frowned: "What is he doing here?"
The sixth prince, Shang Long: "Let the second brother come in."
Shang Zhi walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Concubine Liu Xian.
Concubine Liu Xian frowned and said to the maid, "Look at the tea."
This Shangzhi was disrespectful when he saw her before, relying on the emperor's favor, he didn't pay attention to her at all, as if she was a clown who only got to the top because of his mother's appearance, in front of him, the son of the palace. , always a head short.
Come to the door at this time, what exactly do you want?
Shang Zhi glanced at the maid, "Your Majesty, there are some things that I want to say to your Majesty alone."
Concubine Liu Xian understood, and waved back the palace servants: "Everyone go out."
The palace maid and eunuch withdrew.
Concubine Liu Xian wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes: "You made the second prince laugh, why is the second prince looking for me?"
Shang Zhi: "Of course I'm here to help Concubine Xian."
Concubine Liu Xian was suspicious: "Help me?"
Shang Zhi: "My Dasu princess is as beautiful as a celestial being, with her own noble air, marrying that dwarf Turk would be like a flower stuck in cow dung."
Having said that, the tears that Lang Hua held back flowed down again as if the thread had been broken.
Concubine Liu Xian felt sorry for her daughter: "What can you do?"
Shang Zhi smiled: "It depends on the sincerity of Concubine Xian."
Concubine Liu Xian frowned, there really is no free lunch in this world.
Shang Zhi respectfully saluted Concubine Liu Xian: "Your Majesty, although you are now favored, have you ever thought about how you will deal with my father a hundred years from now?"
Concubine Liu Xian shouted: "Bold."
Shang Zhi: "My lady, why don't you think about it?"
Concubine Liu Xian thought carefully after finishing her cold reprimand.
She also hoped that Lao Liu could become the emperor, and she also helped Lao Liu fight for a fight...
But she has served the emperor for so many years, she also knows the emperor well.
The emperor's love for her has always been limited to the fact that she does not violate his will and does not endanger the prince and the country.
He is not an incompetent and stupid king, let alone disregarding the country and society for a certain concubine.
Even the emperor never thought of abolishing the prince.
No matter how incompetent the crown prince is, in his eyes, he is the prince of the country and the foundation of his country and society.
Even if there is no crown prince, there is still the second prince, the emperor's favorite son.
Against the backdrop of the second prince, her son Lao Liu is too well-behaved and not a pillar of talent.
What's more, the Liu family is indeed very prominent, but this prominence is just an appearance. The Liu family has no civil servants who hold great power in the court, nor does it have generals who hold heavy soldiers.
To put it bluntly, it is an embroidered pillow.
She accepted her fate, the imperial power was not something she could fight for, she just wanted to save her life.
But thinking about it now, under the imperial power, this life is not something she can guarantee.
Shang Zhi didn't beat around the bush, and cut straight to the point: "Have you ever thought about going to the fiefdom with the sixth emperor's younger brother, becoming a concubine, enjoying the rest of your life, and having children and grandchildren around your knees? Then think about it again, my eldest brother will Let you go? He is now thinking about Zang Jiaojiao all day and all night, if I remember correctly, Princess Langhua and the empress targeted Zang Jiaojiao when she first entered the palace."
Concubine Liu Xian's face was pale.
She really looked down on that prostitute back then, and Lang Hua did have conflicts with Zang Jiaojiao.
The sixth prince whispered: "Mother and concubine, that's right, the second brother is right, the prince is small-minded, and will not let you and Lang Hua go."
Shang Zhi smiled: "Madam, are you thinking that even if the crown prince targets you in the future, you can ask side concubine Liu to become king, and king Cheng holds a million-strong army in his hand. For the sake of side concubine, you will definitely succeed." Keep you safe. So you are now neutral, no one will offend, anyway, there is a way out."
Concubine Liu Xian did have this plan, so she didn't break face with Jian Zuihuan.
Shang Zhi: "Rather than entrust your life to others, it is better to entrust it to yourself."
Concubine Liu Xian didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Shang Zhi: "Cooperate with this hall. If I ascend the throne, I will confer the sixth prince as the first-class duke and prince. I will also protect your safety and prosperity for the rest of your life."
Concubine Liu Xian hesitated.
Shang Zhi handed over a stamped document to Concubine Liu Xian: "This is my promise, which will be counted forever. What's more, the empress has no choice. Now I step into your palace. This is my prince's promise." In the eyes of the eldest brother, you are conspiring with me, and if he ascends the throne, he will not let you go. What's more, I have a way to make the Turkic prince voluntarily withdraw from the marriage, my lady, why are you still hesitating?"
==
Cheng Wangfu.
Just after dinner, two unexpected guests came to the mansion.
Concubine Liu Xian brought the second prince into the palace.
"I came here after smelling the fragrance, it seems like it's just the right time." She smiled all over her face.
Concubine Liu stood up to greet her, and the sisters' eyebrows exchanged with each other, full of friendship.
Princess Cheng and the others all stood up, and bowed respectfully to the two of them: "Concubine Xian, the second prince."
The second prince also bowed to Princess Cheng: "Uncle, Princess."
Concubine Liu Xian is full of smiles: "The second prince said that his subordinates offended the eldest concubine a few days ago and wanted to apologize in person, and because I have some friendship with Prince Cheng, I came to beg my palace to be a lobbyist. Is it just a coincidence?"
Concubine Liu said coquettishly, "My lord, since the second prince is so sincere, why don't we all sit down and chat slowly? Why don't we just add two sets of bowls and chopsticks?"
She didn't know how her sister would be a lobbyist for the second prince.
Since her sister begged her to do something, she couldn't disregard sisterhood.
King Cheng said to the servants, "Hurry up and fill up two new sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Everyone has already arrived, and it is not easy to drive away.
After Liu Xianfei entered the table, she looked at Ran Qinggu, her eyes full of surprise: "What's wrong with Shizifei? Why are you so haggard?"
The princess glared at the second prince. If it wasn't for the dog the second prince raised, Bai Yu wouldn't be so worried and haggard.
She smiled and continued: "Probably because of being troubled by the little prince, after all, pregnant people have various problems to some extent. I remember when I was pregnant, I was so thin that I lost my shape. The fetus is so hard, there is nothing I can do about it. I have asked the imperial doctor to prescribe more nourishing medicine, and it will be fine in a few days."
Shang Zhi stood up, poured a glass of wine, and said respectfully: "Concubine Shizi, my subordinates offended you unintentionally a few days ago, I feel very sorry, and I will punish myself with three glasses first."
Ran Qinggu smiled: "The second prince is polite, this matter is over, the second prince doesn't have to blame himself."
After punishing himself with three glasses, Shang Zhi poured himself another glass of wine, and said to Ran Qinggu, "Concubine Shizi, thank you for your generosity, I respect you for this glass."
Ran Qinggu frowned.
At the moment Shang Zhi toasted him while standing.
Usually family banquets don't have to be rigid about etiquette at all, but now that Shang Zhi and Concubine Liu Xian are here, the family banquet has also become a guest banquet.
Shang Zhi is a prince, equivalent to a first-rank prince.He is Shang Rongyu's "prince concubine". According to Shang Ronghe's current title, he is at most a second-rank concubine.
In terms of title, Shang Zhi is one level above him.
If Shang Zhi stood up to toast, as the host, he must stand up and pay his respects.
In the past, it wouldn't matter at all, but now he has an injury on his waist, and if he sits together, he will definitely hurt the wound.
Shang Rongyu picked up the wine glass and stood up: "Second prince, my wife is pregnant and cannot drink. I will pay you back on his behalf."
Shang Zhi smiled: "Then let the imperial concubine replace the bar with tea, and this cup will be regarded as the main hall to honor the two of you. I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years, and the safety of mother and child."
Respecting one person has now become respecting two people.
Now Ran Qinggu has no one to replace him.
It seems impossible to escape today.
Ran Qinggu smiled, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and stood up: "So, thank you, Second Prince, for your kind words."
Shang Zhi clings to the wine glass with both hands, and wants to clink glasses with Ran Qinggu.
The two of them were almost facing each other, with a round table between them. If they wanted to clink glasses, Ran Qinggu had to reach up to his waist.
It seems that the second prince has doubts about his identity for a long time.
Shang Rongyu took the wine glass, clinked the glass with the second prince directly, drank it down and said: "Second prince, I've done it, you should also be refreshed."
After being clinked, Shang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then raised his glass again and said to Ran Qinggu: "Concubine Shizi, let's go."
Ran Qinggu had no choice but to clink glasses with Shang Zhi directly with his body.
There was a sharp pain in the waist, and the wound seemed to be pulled open.
He frowned slightly and took a sip of his tea.
Shang Zhi's eyes always fell on Ran Qinggu.
Situ Feng said that the person who was injured that night was extremely badly wounded. He had seen the bloody arrowhead, and it did penetrate very deeply. If it hadn't been for a month, the wound would never heal.
He asked Concubine Liu Xian to help him into Prince Cheng's mansion, just to see if this concubine was the one who was assassinated that night.
This man's complexion is very haggard, his blood color is only due to the makeup, and now it is impossible to tell whether the injury is caused by pregnancy or not.
If the Shizi Concubine is really the person of that night, then her endurance is probably beyond the reach of others.
It took less than ten days to be able to walk around on the ground, and to be able to talk and laugh happily during the banquet, which is impossible for ordinary brave men, let alone such a weak person.
But if she wasn't the person who was shot that night, didn't the person of that night disappear out of thin air?
And the timing of the Crown Prince's appearance was so ingenious that he didn't believe it was a coincidence.
As soon as Ran Qinggu sat down, Concubine Liu Xian smiled and said, "The second prince has already respected you, a blessed couple. It would be inappropriate for me not to toast a cup to get some good luck."
She stood up with a warm smile: "Then I wish the two of you will be united forever, and more branches and leaves will be spread for the royal family."
Ran Qinggu frowned slightly, as expected of the unfailing favor in the palace, she was clearly testing him with the second prince, yet she smiled compassionately.
Now it seems that the second prince has won Concubine Liu Xian.So does it mean that Li Xiang chose the prince?After all, Li Xiang is afraid that he hates Concubine Liu Xian and Princess Langhua to death.
Furthermore, if Li Xiang didn't want to be controlled by others and wanted to support someone who could listen to him, the only options he could choose were the crown prince and the third prince.
After all, what is the difference between choosing the second prince and staying neutral and obeying the emperor?The second prince has always only obeyed the emperor's orders.
What's more, the second prince is not easy to be controlled, he is born with the aura to control the world.
and so……
The prince will rebel.
A power minister who is dissatisfied with the emperor.
A prince who is often oppressed by his father...
When these two meet, something big will happen.
It seems that now we have to find a way to win over Li Xiang.
Concubine Liu Xian toasted while standing, she kept saying she was sympathetic to Ran Qinggu: "Concubine Shizi's body is important, sit, sit, don't pay attention to these empty etiquettes."
Ran Qinggu thought it was very funny.
If she really sympathizes with him, then she should also sit. She, the majesty's favorite concubine, stands up to toast, if Ran Qinggu doesn't stand up to accompany the toast, then she really doesn't know what to do.
He stood up, and there was a burst of warmth from the wound on his waist, as if blood was flowing out.
Fortunately, I was wearing a red tube top skirt today, even if the wound opened and blood flowed out, it would not be obvious.
Just when Concubine Liu Xian was about to toast with Ran Qinggu, Shang Ronghe snatched the cup of tea that Ran Qinggu was holding, clinked it with Concubine Liu Xian, and then handed it to Ran Qinggu: "Concubine Shizi's hand is short, I can't reach it next time. Call me my son."
Ran Qinggu: "Yes."
When he sat down, Shang Rongyu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, Ran Qinggu's red skirt had already dimmed at the waist, blood stains covered the red clothes, and gradually faded away.
But the man looked calm, took a bowl of soup from Wang Hao calmly, took a sip with the spoon, pursed his lips and smiled, and said generously, "Thank you, mother, this soup is very delicious."
The concubine looked at him lovingly: "Drink more if it tastes good, I really don't understand why Rong Yu took you to another garden? There is nothing delicious there."
Ran Qinggu smiled: "You can't blame the son, you can blame the daughter-in-law for losing her temper."
Shang Ronghe was talking and laughing happily in his ear, and the corner of his eye was the blood stain that was slowly getting bigger.
This man's endurance is really unmatched.
He has no emotional fluctuations, can't he feel pain?
When drinking the bitter medicine, he said that he was used to the bitterness.
Could it be that he is used to the pain now?
But who in the world is really used to pain and suffering?
Shang Rongyu turned around and took a cloak from the shelf next to the incense burner.
He put the cloak on Ran Qinggu's body: "It's cold at night, you can't stand the cold now."
Ran Qinggu nodded shyly: "Yes."
The wound on his waist must be bleeding, otherwise Shang Rongyu wouldn't have put a thin black cloak on him.
Su Xi on the side gritted his teeth and glared at Shang Pianfeng.
She touched her stomach, feeling annoyed, angry and wronged.
Why did Bai Yu take over all such good things?
Now the whole family regards her as a treasure, and they are afraid of bumping into her.
Even the prince has spoken, now the whole family regards the concubine as the most precious, so why not just get pregnant?What a big deal.
She secretly fiddled with her sleeves, cursing the crown prince's miscarriage in her heart.
Ran Qinggu yawned a few times on purpose.
Seeing this, Shang Rongyu asked softly, "But are you tired?"
Ran Qinggu nodded.
Shang Rong's gentleness was like a stream of warmth, with a doting smile scratching Ran Qinggu's nose: "What a little lazy cat."
Ran Qinggu was taken aback, this person really knows how to act.
The gentle, considerate and considerate husband is played to the fullest.
I'm afraid that everyone here is envious of him having such a husband who loves him so much.
Even the two or three elderly eunuchs next to him showed envious eyes at him.
These two or three old eunuchs were the servants of the palace before King Cheng. After he opened the mansion, those two or three eunuchs followed him to the mansion.
Shang Rong and apologetically said to the whole audience: "I'm sorry, the concubine Shizi is pregnant, she is probably tired now, I will send him back to Chenyu Pavilion to rest, and I will make a few drinks later to make amends to everyone."
King Cheng smiled: "Go, take care of the princess."
Shang Ronghe took the order, picked up Ran Qinggu and left.
Ran Qinggu stroked his hair with his hand, deliberately exposing the scar on his wrist.
Shang Zhi's eyes instantly locked on the scar.
The scar is an old wound, a thin or shallow scar.
"My lord, wait a minute." Shang Zhi shouted.
Shang Rong and turned his head: "What is the second prince's order?"
Shang Zhi walked over: "The imperial concubine looked weak, she didn't look like she was pregnant, but rather...poisoned, my concubine was poisoned with cinnabar during pregnancy, which eventually resulted in one dead body and two lives, I still remember it." new."
Concubine Wang and King Cheng were suspicious, and everyone in the room stood up and looked over.
Shang Zhi said: "The imperial concubine's hand stretched out for me to see, people who have been poisoned by cinnabar, the fingertips are different from those of ordinary people."
Ran Qinggu's energy was exhausted, he leaned his head on Shang Ronghe's arms, and said: "The second prince is worrying too much, I just didn't rest well, it's not poisoning."
Shang Zhi couldn't help saying that he took Ran Qinggu's hand: "It's better for Shi Zifei to let me see it, just in case."
But he didn't want that as soon as he held Ran Qinggu's hand, Shang Rongyu hugged him and turned around, avoiding Shang Zhi: "Second prince, I don't need to teach you the saying that men and women are different. Now you are in front of me. On the other hand, it would be too disrespectful to me if you do something to my concubine. Besides, in front of a pregnant woman, you say that you have poisoned one body and two lives, who are you cursing?"
Shang Zhi smiled: "This hall is just afraid that the concubine will repeat the mistakes of my favorite concubine, don't misunderstand, my son."
Shang Rongyu asked coldly: "Then what did you see?"
Shang Zhi smiled: "The imperial concubine is auspicious, not cinnabar poisonous. This hall is worrying too much, the imperial concubine can raise her baby with peace of mind."
Ran Qinggu hugged Shang Rong and his neck, his face was pale, and his voice was trembling: "Shi... Shizi, I'm a little... uncomfortable... My stomach hurts... it hurts...something is coming out..."
Shang Zhi: "..."
He just touched the man's hand, why did he feel uncomfortable?
Shang Rongyu hugged Ran Qinggu and walked towards Chenyu Pavilion, shouting as he walked: "Quick, hurry up and send the imperial physician..."
Armor: "Yes."
The princess was so frightened that her face turned blue, and she raised her heart to her throat: "God bless, mother and child are fine."
King Cheng's face was also iron-faced, and the whole palace was instantly in a mess.
Concubine Liu gloated and smiled at the side: "The concubine's body is too weak."
Cheng Wang glanced at her.
Concubine Liu immediately froze in place.
Cheng Wang had never looked at her with such eyes.
This man stands upright, like a hundred feet of steel, but at home, he is always gentle and considerate, distinguishing right from wrong.
He can reprimand her for being ignorant, and he can also tolerate her petty temper.
He can talk about right and wrong, and he can also speak sweet words.
But he had never glared at her like this moment.
Today, her elder sister Concubine Liu Xian and the second prince are coming to pay homage to the mansion, she only found out in the afternoon, since everyone is here, she can't drive them away.
I just don't know that the second prince suddenly lost his nerve, and even said that he was poisoned in front of the concubine Shizi, killing two people.
If the imperial concubine had a miscarriage because of this, then she would really suffer an injustice.
Shang Ronghe hurriedly carried Ran Qinggu back to the Chenyu Pavilion.
Chun'er was so frightened that she hurriedly opened the door. Before she entered, she heard Shang Rongyu say: "I will take care of the concubine Shizi, you go out."
Chun'er had no choice but to say "yes" and exit the door.
Shang Ronghe put Ran Qinggu on the bed, took off his clothes, saw the torn wound on his waist, the wound was still bleeding, and there was thin sweat on Ran Qinggu's forehead, his breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes calm Like gone.
Shang Rongyu shouted anxiously: "Chun'er, hurry up and send someone to remind the imperial physician Yu, Shi Zifei's condition is not good."
Chun'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she hurriedly took orders.
Shang Rongyu said in a low voice: "Be patient a little longer, Imperial Physician Yu will be here soon."
Ran Qinggu lay on his back, and smiled palely: "It's okay."
Not long after, Imperial Physician Yu came.
Seeing this situation, his face turned dark: "It's good to be young, you can toss hard. The wound that was just stitched up a few days ago opened again."
Outside the Chenyu Pavilion, the concubine and the second prince chased after her.
But as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw all the guards outside Chenyu Pavilion.
Shang Rongque stopped the crowd: "At the order of the son, Shenyu Pavilion will be guarded by more people. Without the order of the son, not a single fly can enter."
King Cheng was at a loss: "Rong Que, what are you doing? Why are you messing around with me? What's the situation with the Crown Princess?"
At this time, I heard Chun'er loudly ordering the servant girl: "Quickly, boil more hot water, the concubine's condition is not good."
When the princess heard this, her face turned pale, her legs became weak, and she couldn't stand upright.
Cheng Wang quickly hugged her and said reassuringly, "Yu'er and the child will be fine."
Jian Zuihuan's tears couldn't stop falling: "I knew something would happen."
She glared at Shang Zhi with tears in her eyes: "Second Prince, something happened in the mansion today, it is really inconvenient to entertain you and Concubine Xian, please Hai Han, Rong Que, see off your guests."
The second prince looked into the courtyard, he wanted to know if the person inside was hiding something.
"Princess, this hall is also very worried about what happened to the crown prince. This is the only heir of the royal family at present. This hall should wait until the crown prince is safe before leaving the hall to report the situation to the emperor."
Shang Rongque made a gesture to see off the guests: "This matter will be played at the meeting between the father and the prince, the second prince does not need to worry, please."
Concubine Liu Xian said at the right time: "None of us would have thought of something like this happening to the First Concubine. The Second Prince is only worried about the First Concubine. The Princess and Eldest Prince don't have to regard the Second Prince as the murderer who killed the First Concubine."
Before Shang Rongque could open his mouth, he heard the princess scolding: "Rongque, you step back."
Shang Rongque had no choice but to step back.
The concubine asked: "Is it the murderer? We have no evidence in the palace, and we are very light-hearted. But the second prince, in front of a haggard pregnant woman, you said that one dead body and two were hit by cinnabar poison, and you still have to fight her in front of her husband." Pulling, do you think it's appropriate?"
Shang Zhi said earnestly: "This hall is only worried about the emperor's heir."
Jian Zuihuan coldly pointed at the Chenyu Pavilion: "Is this the result of your worries?"
At this time, Imperial Physician Yu came out from the Shenyu Pavilion.
The princess hurriedly stopped Imperial Physician Yu: "Emperor Physician, how is Yu'er?"
Imperial Physician Yu shook his head and sighed: "The Concubine Shi Zi was overly frightened and worried, which caused her to have a miscarriage."
Jian Zuihuan's eyes turned pale for a while, and Shang Rongque hurriedly supported her: "Princess, take care of yourself."
King Cheng hugged the concubine, and worriedly asked Imperial Physician Yu: "Is Yu'er all right?"
Imperial Physician Yu shook his head and sighed: "The concubine is fine for the time being, she needs to rest well."
King Cheng quickly thanked him: "I have spare time for the imperial physician."
The second prince's face turned red and then pale: "Uncle, I'm really just worried about the princess...you..."
King Cheng's face was stern, and his white hair seemed to grow a few strands in an instant: "Second prince, are you really worried, or do you have other intentions, everyone knows it well, Rongque, see off the guests."
Shang Rongque made a "please" gesture: "Concubine Xian, Second Prince, please."
Concubine Liu Xian and the second prince wanted to say something more, but seeing that King Cheng was so resolute in driving them away, they said nothing, saluted and left.
Shang Zhi didn't expect that he was so ignorant.
How could such a miscarriage make him bump into it? Although it has nothing to do with him, from the outsiders' point of view, he may not know what to think.
Concubine Liu and Su Xi gloated over misfortune.
Look at how that bitch is still pissed off, every day, she is pregnant with a little boy and flaunts through the market, and those who don't know think she is pregnant with a gold mine.
Unexpectedly, before the two of them could laugh, they heard Cheng Wang sternly questioning: "Side concubine, are you satisfied now?"
Concubine Liu was at a loss: "My lord, I don't know what my lord means."
Cheng Wang: "Today is our family banquet. If you hadn't invited the second prince and concubine Xian, Yu'er would not be like this."
Concubine Liu burst into tears: "My lord, I just listened to my sister's words and helped the second prince build a bridge for the stability of the lord and the prince in the court. I really didn't expect this to happen. I really didn't intend to murder the little prince. ... If the prince doesn't believe it, he can beat the concubine to death and be buried with the young prince. I don't know why this happened, if I knew..."
King Cheng was very irritated: "Okay, if I didn't know that you didn't want to, you wouldn't be here anymore. Go back and think about it, and don't disturb the princess."
Concubine Liu did not dare to make a sound, and said, "Yes."
This was the worst temper King Cheng had ever lost to her since she married into the palace.
She wept and took Su Xi and Gu You away.
After Concubine Liu left, Shang Rongque said gently: "Father, you go back and take good care of Princess Wang, and leave the matter of Chenyu Pavilion to me."
King Cheng nodded: "Okay, you have to work hard during this time, and enlighten Rong Yu well. He can still listen to what you say on weekdays."
Shang Rongque: "Yes."
After King Cheng left, Shang Rongque said to his confidant: "Go, find beggars, peddlers, women from brothels on the street... Go spread the word, and say that the second prince's participation in the family banquet at the palace not only threatened the princess, but she got cinnabar The poison will kill one corpse and two lives, and even after being drunk, he used his hands on the concubine, which caused the concubine to be overly frightened and worried about having a miscarriage that day. The faster and wider the spread, the better, preferably faster than the arrest warrant."
The confidant nodded: "Yes."
As soon as the rumor spread, no matter it was true or not, the emperor would definitely give an explanation to King Cheng, and the crown prince would definitely see what happened.
This matter was not done by the second prince, and he has to bear part of the responsibility.
Murdering the emperor's heir is no small crime, and it's time to kill the spirit of the second prince.
Now that the second prince is out of skills, he has no time to check Ran Qinggu.
