Such an unsparing evaluation...
The attendants were sweating after hearing this, but they did not dare to make any judgments. Two people helped the eldest son back, while another person went to deliver a message to the queen.
What happened in the Gaolinghou Mansion last night was actually not a secret.
Not to mention the attendants of the Gaolinghou Mansion, there were so many guests at the banquet, and there would always be rumors leaking out.
However, the Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince of Gaoling were the first to reach a consensus. Today, the emperor has personally clarified the matter. Even if those people know that the actual truth is completely different from the truth advertised to the outside world, what can they do? Dare to spread the word?
The queen is one of the few people who knows the actual truth.
If she had been somewhat curious about the Sixth Prince in the past, as if looking at a gadget to kill time, wondering how far this boy could go, then now, the Queen only had a deep feeling in her heart. So scared!
How long has it been since this matter was handed over to him?
Within a few days, the situation was opened up effortlessly!
Can such a person be treated like a half-grown child? !
The Queen was scared, but also a little lucky. Thanks to her taking the initiative, she had planted people around the Sixth Prince early. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.
At this time, she also felt distressed when she received the letter from her son.
I think the emperor is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and she is also a smart person. I don't know what evil she did in her previous life, but she actually raised such an evil obstacle!
In this deep palace, the queen's status is indeed noble, but the real future still has to fall on her son. If this son cannot ascend to the throne, then wouldn't the queen spend her time in this palace in vain? Decades?
The queen naturally understood this truth. Even though she was extremely angry, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and teach her unlucky son a lesson.
Because she was walking in such a hurry, she didn't even notice that there was a slender shadow outside the window.
Princess Changhua's eyebrows were furrowed, her figure was hidden behind the red palace pillars, and the golden phoenix steps between her hair like clouds cast a gorgeous and light shadow on the window lattice.
"These two heartless white-eyed wolves!"
Looking at the back of her mother leaving in a hurry, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, and there was a hint of gloom between her eyebrows: "If the queen mother hadn't been so merciful and protected Quan's mother and son, how would they be today? It's okay not to be grateful, but actually And he bites back in an attempt to devour the master!"
Princess Changhua's eyes flashed with cold light, she suddenly let out a short sneer, turned around and went to Quan Shuyi Palace.
…
At that time, Ying Zheng was away from the palace, but Shuang Hong never went with him. He sat in front of the desk and read the book wholeheartedly, scratching his head from time to time.
At this moment, I heard a sudden noise outside.
She immediately stood up and looked out through the window, and saw several strong maids at the palace gate already pushing and shoving the people on her side.
And behind those people stood a girl with a bright face, holding a leather whip, and a very arrogant look on her eyebrows. If she wasn't Princess Changhua, who was born from the Queen, who was she?
The palace maid next to her was stopped by someone. She looked extremely unhappy, but her eyes did not fall on the quarreling slaves. Instead, she looked at the inner hall with a stern look: "Where is the Quan family? I, the princess, are here in person, and she actually dares not to do so. Come out to greet her?! Her wings are so stiff that no one cares about her anymore! I will teach this humble maid a lesson for my mother today!"
When Shuanghong saw this, she knew that the person coming was evil and did not bother to go out to take care of things - no matter how much face she had with the Sixth Prince, she was just a slave. If Princess Changhua started to act violently, Quan Shuyi might not be able to do anything. What a good ending, let alone her?
And would the emperor and empress care about the life and death of a little slave?
Shuanghong opened the window, as light as a bird, and jumped out with agility.
She had grown up here, and was very familiar with the roads everywhere. She walked around to Quan Shuyi's dormitory in twos and twos, and without saying a word, she pulled people and ran towards the back hall.
There is a small door over there, so you can leave here quickly without disturbing anyone.
Shuanghong is a smart person, and smart people should understand the principle of flexibility and flexibility.
So she never thought about confronting Princess Changhua, but directly took Quan Shuyi and quickly escaped from the dangerous environment.
Precisely because she is a smart person, she clearly knows that Princess Changhua is not actually a bad person, but this does not mean that her destructive power is small - because Princess Changhua is a fool!
A person who is bad but smart is actually not too scary, because he knows what is good for him, and you also know how to guard against him.
But if a person is stupid...
You never know at what moment she will suddenly pick up the wrong tendon and stab you out of nowhere!
Even if the Quan family is not favored, she is still the biological mother of the prince and the concubine of the emperor. Princess Changhua led the people in her palace and shouted at her concubine to kill her. There is something worse than this. Stupid thing?
Even if you file a complaint with your own mother and let the queen admonish the concubines as the master of the harem, it will be much better than the current situation!
What Shuanghong values most is the Sixth Prince, and what the Sixth Prince values most is Quan's mother, so no matter what, she cannot put Quan Shuyi in danger!
Shuyi's health is actually not very good, and she is also weak. Not to mention being whipped a few times by Princess Changhua, even being insulted by others will make her feel sad.
And if the Sixth Prince knew that his mother was humiliated like this, he would feel even more uncomfortable!
Shuanghong took Quan Shuyi around and left the palace, and without stopping, took her to the emperor's palace.
Everyone in the palace knows Princess Changhua's temper. She can do anything when her head is hot. She will not give up until Quan Shuyi is found. No matter where Shuanghong takes her to hide. No matter where you are, you can't escape.
Among ordinary concubines, who would dare to offend the queen's most beloved daughter?
Shuanghong had no intention of begging the queen for justice, even though she knew that as long as she brought Quan Shuyi to the queen, the latter would definitely have a straight face, reprimand Princess Changhua lightly, and... Give something to appease Quan Shuyi——
But who cares about these!
Who wants to live under the shadow of a terror that doesn’t know when it will strike, and who will be beaten and scolded unexpectedly!
The Queen has indeed protected Empress Shuyi to some extent over the years, but it was only to a certain extent. Not to mention others, did Empress Shuyi hear little of Princess Changhua’s mindless sarcasm and ridicule? !
Not to mention that the Queen has already started to make trouble for the Sixth Prince. She does not want to take Quan Shuyi to the Queen and try to subdue her!
If this were the case in the past, Shuanghong would definitely not take Quan Shuyi to find the emperor, because she knew that the emperor was busy with government affairs and would not have time to care about the harem.
But it's different now.
Quan Shuyi is the biological mother of the sixth prince and a key link in maintaining the father-son relationship between the sixth prince and the emperor.
For the emperor, Quan Shuyi is no longer just a dispensable concubine in the harem, but is likely to become the mother of the future prince. He will take care of this matter both emotionally and rationally!
Compared with the empress who treated her two children with a motherly heart and protected them in every possible way, the emperor must be much more decisive.
Shuanghong practiced martial arts and was in good health. After running for a long time, her face was not red and she was still out of breath. On the contrary, Quan Shuyi's physical fitness was mediocre. She was out of breath, her eyes were red, and her hair was slightly messy. , the description is inevitably a little embarrassing.
Shuanghong didn't remind her to straighten things out - she should ask your majesty to see how Princess Changhua bullies others!
Her father used to be the commander of the internal guard serving the emperor, so she was still somewhat popular among the emperor's attendants. Although she had never used it due to various concerns in the past, isn't it appropriate now? The timing?
Shuanghong wanted to go out for a while, but was worried about leaving Quan Shuyi here alone. Just as she was wandering around, she saw a middle-aged servant come over by chance and saw their master and servant. The two of them were also shocked.
"...Empress Shuyi?"
Shuanghong recognized that this was San Sheng, the chambermaid beside the emperor.
Very good!
She thought to herself, isn't this just because someone brought a pillow as soon as she dozed off?
Shuanghong glanced at Quan Shuyi calmly.
Quan Shuyi understood this, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her neck and told San Sheng what happened today in a low voice.
San Sheng then led them to the quiet room where they were waiting to be summoned to rest for a while, and asked them to bring cakes and tea. Finally, he whispered: "It is not disrespectful to be disrespectful when meeting the emperor, Shuyi should be a little more careful." Go freshen up, His Majesty may not be happy to see you like this."
Shuanghong was a little puzzled: His Majesty must know that Empress Shuyi has been bullied so that he can deal with this matter.
Quan Shuyi did not raise any questions, but said softly: "Excuse me, the manager, please send someone to bring some warm water."
San Sheng responded, bowed to her and bowed before retreating.
Shuanghong glanced at him without revealing anything, and then looked at Quan Shuyi quietly, thoughtfully.
Chapter 203
When the three provinces entered the inner hall, they saw the emperor sitting at his desk reviewing memorials submitted from various places in the Zhou Kingdom. He stood aside silently, looking at the thickness of the memorials on the desk, and motioned to the little chamberlain below to make tea.
About two quarters of an hour later, the emperor finished handling the memorials on the case. He handed over a cup of fragrant tea at the right temperature and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Quan Shuyi is here. Already..."
The emperor was drinking tea with his head down. Hearing this sentence, he was stunned: "Who?"
He carefully thought about his thoughts three times and repeated it again: "Your Majesty, this is Quan Shuyi."
The emperor no longer thought about drinking tea. After thinking about it for a moment, he put down the teacup in his hand and said in a neutral tone: "Really?"
When the emperor was still young, Quan was generally a beautiful pet to him, stunning and docile. Later, because of Tang Yikang's advice, she became indifferent to her, and she didn't have much feelings in her heart.
But when Quan's son began to rise to prominence, when he reached middle age - in fact, based on the current average life span of people, he could also be said to be an old emperor - when he thought about it, he felt that apart from his beauty, Quan still had some qualities. The saving grace.
For example, during the years when she was neglected, or in other words, when she first suffered the disaster, this woman who had not experienced the upbringing of the Central Plains ethics did not play the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. Use those months of tenderness and sweetness to entangle yourself...
In short, she is very peaceful.
He accepted his tragic fate calmly.
For the emperor, this was not important in the past. He did not care whether the women in the harem were round or flat!
But after he decided to make Concubine Quan's son the crown prince, this point became very important!
It was also because Quanshi had been peaceful for more than ten years, so now, after hearing that Quanshi suddenly came to him, even though he was busy with government affairs, he was still willing to spare a quarter of an hour. Meet her and hear what she has to say.
Others went to invite Quan Shuyi to see him, and the emperor asked Quan from the three provinces why he came.
In a low voice, San Sheng told the story of meeting Quan Shuyi's master and servant outside, and then told the emperor what Quan Shuyi said.
The emperor's brows wrinkled visibly.
The servant outside came to report: "Your Majesty, Empress Shuyi has arrived outside the palace."
The emperor said expressionlessly: "Let her wait outside."
Then he asked another confidant to come out and said, "Go and check this matter to see if it is as Tong Quan said."
After a brief pause, he added: "Let's go and see what the queen is doing!"
From the tone of his voice, the attendants knew that he was extremely dissatisfied with the queen.
Matters in the harem were brought to the attention of the emperor, but Quan Shuyi, as the biological mother of the prosperous sixth prince, was forced to do so by the queen's daughter.
If the matter is finally confirmed to be true, then the Queen is not only a bad goddaughter, but also the position of "Queen" itself is a serious dereliction of duty.
For the emperor's confidants, it was not difficult to check the facts.
Because... Princess Changhua never thought about covering up.
For a princess who has always walked sideways in the harem, wouldn't she be uncomfortable if she was suddenly asked to walk in a proper manner?
