"Your Majesty, my concubine Tong Xiuyuan entered the palace in the sixth year of Xuanwu. She became pregnant the following year. She had a miscarriage in the third month of pregnancy. At that time, it was found out that a palace maid accidentally pushed my concubine. I suspected that she had been bribed by the virtuous concubine. Please give me justice, Your Majesty."
"My concubine Shi Xiuyi entered the palace in the fourth year of Xuanwu. She became pregnant in the eighth year of Xuanwu. She gave birth to a son who died two days later. The prince who died in infancy cannot be included in the clan. My concubine's child even died without a home. I also doubted Concubine De, please give me justice, Your Majesty."
"Concubine Zhuang, my concubine, was injured due to miscarriage six years ago and can no longer serve the emperor. She has been living in the plum garden. The imperial doctor said that she ate too much safflower, which caused my concubine to bleed heavily. She has been bleeding continuously in recent years. My concubine is about to die soon, and I just want to seek justice for myself and my children!"
"Please, Your Majesty, give Concubine De to death!"
Those questions were all made of the flesh and blood of Emperor Xuanwu's children.
The emperor grabbed Concubine De by the neck again, dragged her and threw her at the door, pointed at a group of concubines kneeling outside the door and said: "See for yourself, see for yourself how many crimes you have committed? "
Concubine De's eyes swept over the faces of the concubines one by one. She originally thought that because she stepped on these people and was in a high position, she should have forgotten these incompetent losers.
However, the moment they appeared, she seemed to be pulled back to the time when she first entered the palace.
The family not only sent her to the palace to gain the favor of the saint, but also sent another clan sister to the palace.
That clan sister was so beautiful that she was on par with Concubine Li at that time. After being selected into the palace, she was isolated by all the beautiful ladies. No one wanted to stand with her and have their own glory taken away.
Concubine De knew that with her appearance, it would be difficult to win the emperor's favor.
So she pretended to be like a quail every day and followed her clan sister obediently. The clan sister used her beauty to treat her like a maid. Not only did she not resist, but she also took the initiative to help her with many things, even participating in the event together. The show girls who chose her all called her stupid, saying she was a bastard who took joy in being bullied.
Her kind, weak and harmless image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
And she was the only legitimate daughter of Duke Cheng's family. The clan sister was born beautiful, but her status in the palace was never based on her appearance, but more importantly, the power behind her.
When Concubine De entered the palace, she had not yet received any favors. She had already conferred the title of Rong Hua, but the clan sister only made a small promise.
Just the day before the emperor was to call her to bed, the clan sister suddenly fell ill, foaming at the mouth and bleeding to death.
The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Chuxiu Palace and said that the emperor had turned over the name of Concubine De, but Concubine De died as a clan sister. For her sake, he had to go to Sheng'an Temple to ask the Buddha to bless her clan sister in safety, happiness and worry-free life in the next life.
It was only after that that the emperor noticed her.
She rose through the ranks, became the concubine in six years, and raised the third prince. After that, her ambitions grew.
Whenever any concubine was pregnant, or she was lucky enough to give birth to a child, she would do everything possible to get rid of it.
Because her father has told her since she was a child that as long as she gets rid of things that are harmful to her, she will always be invincible.
She was the only legitimate daughter in Duke Cheng's mansion. It wasn't that Duke Cheng didn't have any concubines, but the children conceived by those concubines were either stillborn or died together with their biological mothers.
In short, the father could only have one daughter from her.
In the palace, there can only be three princes and one prince, so that he can inherit the throne unimpeded in the future.
The First Prince...
Ah!
That idiot, I just coaxed him a few words, saying that her jade pendant fell into the pool. The jade pendant was a gift from the emperor, and it would be a big sin to disappear.
Concubine De has taken refuge with the empress since she accepted her favor. She is kind and gentle in all aspects. The first prince and the second prince like and trust her.
The eunuch who was close to the former prince at that time went to the East Palace to get him a cloak. Everyone around him was distracted by various emergencies. Out of his love for the concubine, the first prince put his hand on the edge of the pool to get her a jade pendant. , but was pushed into the pool by De Fei's people.
Concubine De still clearly remembers those eyes that were wide open in disbelief when he struggled.
As for the second prince, it was much simpler.
At that time, smallpox broke out inside and outside the palace, and nearly a hundred children died of smallpox in the capital alone. Concubine De had already had smallpox when she was a child, so she was not afraid of being infected.
She asked Duke Cheng to bring in a handkerchief that had been stained with smallpox, and made another inner coat for the second prince. While she was changing his clothes, she wiped the corners of his eyes and mouth with the handkerchief.
After the second prince was diagnosed with smallpox, the queen suspected that there was something wrong with his clothes. She even asked the imperial doctor to check him, and the results showed that there was nothing wrong with him.
Little did she know that the clothes she gave him were just a cover-up, just to get the queen to investigate in the wrong direction.
The medicine bottle in the pool was to make everyone think that the former prince was poisoned and fell into the water while watching fish. Concubine De was the first to discover him and save him. All the palace servants who served the prince that day were executed. .
The underwear knew that the queen would investigate thoroughly, so she deliberately threw it out to make the queen suspicious. The handkerchief stained with smallpox venom had been burned clean by Concubine De.
So many of her veils looked exactly the same, so how could the queen tell which one it was on that day?
It's all Jiang Xinyue's fault... If it hadn't been for her, the emperor wouldn't have found out about her. If he hadn't framed her for poisoning the third prince, she wouldn't have had to reveal her knowledge of poisoning.
Then, even if the emperor got the bottle in the pool, he would not suspect her.
It can only be said that in order to deal with Jiang Xinyue, she exposed too many of her secrets.
Now those things that were exposed became the last straw for her.
The hateful looks in her eyes from the concubines made her feel frightened in her heart, and she stepped back: "Feixiu died in the Queen's palace. Who knows if this blood letter was forged by the Queen in order to bring down my concubines? Or maybe it was forged by the Queen. , the Imperial Concubine deliberately forced Fei Xiu to write it in order for the Sixth Prince to inherit the throne. Anyway, you and the Empress are of the same mind, otherwise she wouldn’t have handed over the Fifth Prince to you, right?”
His mind was not completely frightened, and he still knew how to use the fifth prince to distort the relationship between Jiang Xinyue and the first empress.
"You're just relying on death without any evidence, right?"
Jiang Xinyue sneered: "Then how do you explain the fact that you killed Lu Yin and framed the blame on the mute slave?"
As soon as Jiang Xinyue finished speaking, the emperor raised his chin towards the door: "Bring him in."
The people from the Xuanjing Department led a vicissitudes of life woman in gray linen clothes in. The woman peeked out of the corner of her eyes. When she saw De Fei, she rushed forward excitedly: "My lord, my lord, I finally found you." Well, I...my man came to the capital to look for you. Didn't you say you would return our daughter to us? Where are they?"
People!
Already gone to the west.
