Chapter 64
Three days later, the leader of the Huo cult was beheaded, and the other members of the cult were dealt with according to their will.
In fact, as long as a sect of Jianghu is not involved in court affairs, the court will not care about it. After all, there is a saying that "jianghu is a matter of Jianghu", and the emperor doesn't want to care about it.But the fire cult has obviously crossed the line, and it is still his most taboo, so this time it can be regarded as an example to others.
Feng Ye introduced Kang Zhan to Feng Qin, and the three of them discussed some things together.
After Song Qi knew that Guan Li had someone he liked, he also relaxed.After getting along with Guan Li, he felt that Guan Li was a good person, not as weak and reserved as Miss Dasheng, but more straightforward and straightforward, which Song Qi appreciated.
Tian'er saw that it was getting colder, and it was time for Prince Lu's mansion to make winter clothes every year.Generally, the winter clothes palace in the palace will have separate provisions, but it is only one set for each prince and princess, which is really not enough, so it is still necessary to find an additional tailor shop to measure.
"I won't do it this year to avoid trouble, and I have enough clothes anyway," Jiang Yi said.
The tailor who came to measure the body would definitely find his abnormal stomach, so he simply didn't do it.
Feng Qin thought for a while, and said: "Make a big cloak. You must have something to keep you warm in winter. Don't let them measure it. Just make it according to your previous size."
The cloak is already wide, so it won't be a problem to do it as before.
Jiang Yi thought for a while and said, "That's fine."
"You saved so much money by not making clothes, is there anything you want? Go buy it." Feng Qin said.
Jiang Yi shook his head, "I don't want anything, is it still hot to put money in the treasury?"
Feng Qin chuckled, "Isn't this trying to make you happy?"
"It's good now. There are no festivals right now, and we can all relax." Festivals are the busiest time for people, and it is indeed a bit troublesome for him to prepare for some days in advance.
"Well. The incense will be sent to the palace in a few days, maybe this annual banquet can be saved."
"You must be careful about this matter, if the imperial physician finds out, something will happen."
"Don't worry, my brother and I would not take this risk if we were not absolutely sure."
"Ah."
The local magistrate obtained several medicines to control the onset of Gu poison from the deputy leader, and sent them to the capital in a hurry.
The emperor finally had a chance to talk to the fourth prince normally.
After the fourth prince woke up, knowing that everything was over, he cried bitterly and begged the emperor, saying that he was deceived and deceived.
What the emperor asked him, he answered truthfully, but put the blame on the fire cult.
But the emperor has never been a kind person, the fourth prince has coveted him, and he only believes five points in what the fourth prince said, and the ending of death was written by him to the fourth prince early in the morning, no matter what the fourth prince said useless.
"Although you can't share my worries, you are honest and honest in front of me, so I never treated you lightly. But what you did really disappointed me, and all of them are capital offenses!"
"Father! My son was wronged, my son was wronged! It was all the people from the Fire Cult who bewitched my son, and my son didn't even know what he was doing!"
The emperor sneered, "Well, I don't know. I see that you are acting as usual, and you don't seem to be bewitched at all! Moreover, the fire cult has been developing for many years, and has never reached out to the court. If you hadn't cast an olive branch for them, how could they Will I contact you? If you are really being coerced, with me and the queen here, why don't you say it?!"
"But if you say that, your son will die!"
"If you don't talk about it, you will die. And there are so many princes in Beijing, why did the Huoxie Church only find you? Do you think I am stupid?!"
"I..." The fourth prince didn't know how to argue for a while.
"Looking at the letter you communicated with the Huo Cult again, you proposed many things on your own initiative. If you say that you don't intend to be the emperor, who would believe it?!"
"Father! My son knows his mistake! Please, for the sake of father and son, please spare my life!" The fourth prince felt that it would be better to beg for mercy than to deny it.
"Then when you intended to be the throne, did you ever think about your father-son relationship with me?!"
The fourth prince: "Father, do you think that the only one who intends to take the throne is the son? Being in the royal family, that prince doesn't fight for the throne?"
"You are right, there is no prince who does not fight for the throne. But no one wants to fight to the death like you!" The emperor angrily slapped the table, "This is the end of the matter, you don't need to say more, just wait and see."
After all, the emperor walked away in a huff.
The fourth prince rushed over immediately, trying to hold the emperor back, "Father, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, please spare my life, spare my life!"
The guard stopped the fourth prince.
The emperor turned a deaf ear and left without frowning.
The next day, the emperor ordered the four princes to commit suicide.
Concubine Ning stabbed the servant girl with scissors, ran out, and knelt at the door of the imperial study room to beg the emperor to forgive her.
The emperor ignored it.
In the evening of that day, the fourth prince had a glass of poisoned wine, ending his ambitious life of pretending to be loyal.
Concubine Ning cried so heartbreakingly that half the palace could hear her.
Concubine Mao was annoyed by the disturbance, she had nothing to do at the moment, she was close to Concubine Zhen's place, so she passed by.
Concubine Ning's bedroom is also close to Concubine Zhen's, so crying and making noises also caused her a headache.
"Sister, let me ask someone to gamble with her. If this quarrel continues, my heart will follow suit." Concubine Mao was a little helpless.She didn't sympathize with Concubine Ning. When something happened in her family and she lost power, Concubine Ning humiliated her a lot. She didn't see her again until she went to the Leng Palace.
"Forget it, let her cry." Concubine Zhen smiled and let her sit down, "We are bothering, and the queen is even more annoying. Anyway, I don't know how many times I can cry, so let her."
"That's right, the queen is in a hurry, so she can save us trouble."
"Exactly."
Concubine Ning kept crying until midnight, and then she slowly stopped, and the people in the palace were finally able to sleep peacefully.
Because she slept late at night, and the queen didn't get up the next day, she was spared the greetings from all the palaces.
Since the emperor didn't say that he would go to the harem for dinner, Concubine Zhen became a little lazy and lay down for another half an hour before getting up.
As soon as her hair was done, Miao Yu walked in quickly with a flustered expression.
"What's the matter?" Concubine Zhen was still tired, so she didn't think much about it.
Miao Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, something happened."
"What's the matter?" Concubine Zhen stopped her hairpin movement, turned her head slightly and asked.
"Concubine Ning stabbed the empress with scissors."
"What?!" Concubine Zhen never expected that Concubine Ning would have such courage. "Does the emperor know?"
"The emperor has just come down to court, so he should know by now."
Concubine Zhen nodded, pushed away the golden hairpin that the servant girl was going to put on her head, picked out two inconspicuous silver hairpins, put on them, then put on some clothes casually, and went to the queen's place.
All the imperial physicians have been invited, and the emperor is with him inside.
Concubine Zhen walked in and saluted, "Your Majesty, Empress."
The empress did not meet the imperial concubine Zhen. At this time, she did not have a murder weapon on her body, she just covered her abdomen with a cloth towel, probably where she was injured.
Seeing Concubine Zhen running over in such a hurry, the emperor was satisfied, and said: "Kuer don't need to be so anxious, the queen is fine."
Since Concubine Zhen blocked the sword's son for the emperor, the emperor started to call Concubine Zhen "Kou'er" as before.
"The concubine looks at the empress's face, it's really not good-looking, she really made her suffer." Concubine Zhen looked worried and distressed.
Just as she was talking, Concubine Mao also came, she was also dressed in plain clothes, she hurried over without having time to dress up.In addition, the whole palace slept late yesterday, so it is normal that I got up late this morning and didn't have time to tidy up.
"Is the queen all right?" Concubine Mao stepped forward to take a look.
The emperor was happy when he saw Concubine Mao, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I applied the medicine and took the decoction, and the bleeding is about to stop."
Concubine Mao patted her chest, "That's good, but I'm going to be a bad concubine. Empress, you must take care of your phoenix body. All affairs in the harem must be decided by your empress."
The queen was unhappy, but she still nodded and said, "Naturally."
Seeing that the queen could speak, the emperor asked, "What did you go to Concubine Ning's place so early in the morning? You know she's mentally ill."
Concubine Zhen and Concubine Mao sneered in their hearts - what else could they do?He must be impatient to let Concubine Ning die.It's just that Concubine Ning is overly sad at the moment, she is already crazy.The queen let her die, how could she be willing?And no matter how you look at it, the matter of the fourth prince was exposed by the eldest prince. Concubine Ning must hate the queen to death. Naturally, even if she was going to die, she would drag the queen to be buried with her.
It's just that Concubine Ning cried all night, and I'm afraid she didn't have much strength, so she couldn't seriously injure the queen, which is quite regrettable.
The queen breathed weakly and said: "The concubine just wants to comfort Concubine Ning. Although the fourth prince has gone, she is still the emperor's concubine, and she should fulfill her responsibilities."
Concubine Zhen asked: "Then Concubine Ning, what does the Emperor plan to do with it?"
The queen answered immediately: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ning has gone mad, and the Emperor must not see her, so as not to be hurt by her."
She was also afraid that Concubine Ning's nonsense would make the emperor hate her.
Concubine Mao turned her eyes and said with a smile: "The emperor has many capable guards around him, it is absolutely safe, the empress don't have to worry, the most important thing is to rest assured and recuperate."
"Your majesty..." The queen moved, pulled the wound, and gasped in pain.
The emperor quickly held her down and said: "Don't move around, didn't the imperial doctor say to lie down properly?"
Concubine Zhen looked at the empress and said: "The empress is also worried about your safety, and she was excited at the moment. If the emperor doesn't see you, don't see him. After all, it is an unforgivable crime to hurt the empress. But if the emperor thinks about the relationship between husband and wife for many years If you want to meet her and listen to her say a few words, it's not impossible, but you must bring a guard with you so that she doesn't hurt you."
Concubine Zhen's words were in the emperor's mind. Originally seeing or not seeing him was his business, and he didn't need the queen to make arrangements for him.
"I know, I will take care of it." The emperor stood up, "Okay, the queen is fine, there is an imperial doctor here, so you don't have to guard, go back to eat, I will go to Kouer's for breakfast."
"Yes." Concubine Zhen replied with a salute.
The emperor didn't wait for the queen to send him off, so he took Concubine Zhen out of the house.
Concubine Mao quietly glanced at the emperor, hooked the corner of her mouth, and left together.
