After hearing what Dai Quan said, Emperor Longqing frowned slightly.
No need to guess why Concubine Zhou came to find her.
Her own son was imprisoned, how could a mother just sit idly by and watch.
It's just that this matter is of great importance. Even if Concubine Zhou comes, he can't let go.
But he couldn't avoid seeing her, after all, she was his beloved concubine.
Emperor Longqing said calmly: "Let him come in."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Dai Quan agreed, turned around and went out.
The queen glanced at Emperor Longqing and said nothing. She had expected this outcome.
It would be surprising if Concubine Zhou didn't come to intercede for her son.
But she couldn't help but think secretly in her heart, wondering if Concubine Zhou could persuade His Majesty to let her son go.
Then he shook his head. It was definitely impossible to let him go. The impact of this matter was too great. Even if His Majesty was willing to agree, the ministers would not agree.
After a while, Concubine Zhou walked into the hall with a pitiful look.
Arriving in front of Emperor Longqing and the Queen, he stepped forward and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to pay my respects to the Queen."
Emperor Longqing said: "My dear concubine, please get married."
Concubine Zhou stood up and said, "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, the Queen."
After a pause, Concubine Zhou spoke again: "Your Majesty, Hong'er is young and energetic. He was instigated by an adulterer and did something wrong just now. I hope that your Majesty will consider the love between father and son and forgive Hong'er this time. I will definitely do it in the future." I will supervise him more and teach him well.”
Emperor Longqing snorted coldly and said: "That treacherous son was bold and unscrupulous, and openly attacked and killed the imperial officials. Even if he is deposed, he deserves it. Just banning him is already an extra-judicial favor from me. Don't mention this matter again."
The queen next to her said: "Sister Zhou, this child has made a mistake and needs to be disciplined. He must realize his mistake. If you blindly shield and protect him, it will only make him more lawless and unscrupulous. That is the only way to do this." It really hurt him and put him on a path of no return.”
After hearing what the two men said, Concubine Zhou knew that it was impossible to get her son out, and she could only do it later.
Fortunately, he was only imprisoned and was not deposed as a commoner. Everything is still possible, so there is no rush.
Your Majesty is probably still angry at this moment, so just let it go and wait until later to use some means to get His Majesty to agree.
Concubine Zhou is still very confident about her own methods.
Concubine Zhou took out a silk scarf from her sleeve and gently tested the corners of her eyes. Her expression was sad and even more pitiful.
He sighed and said: "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I don't dare to say anything. Hong'er is also Your Majesty's son, and it is your Majesty's duty to discipline your son.
It's just that Duke Ning Guo went too far when he killed Hao'er. He didn't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. After all, Hao'er is my nephew, that is, His Majesty's nephew. By doing this, he did not let His Majesty go at all. In the eyes.
This person is so arrogant and ruthless at such a young age. Once he gains power in the future, there will be no one left to control him. Sima's calamity is still in sight, so Your Majesty needs to be careful to beware of this person. "
"hiss."
Concubine Zhou's words made the queen take a deep breath.
I cursed secretly in my heart, this bitch is simply a vicious woman, her thoughts are so vicious.
Even if His Majesty does not believe what she said, a seed of doubt will be planted in His Majesty's heart, and it will even slowly take root and grow into a towering tree.
As an emperor, he is inherently suspicious and doesn't trust anyone. If someone provokes him, he will easily believe it.
Moreover, this person is still his pillow. The wind blows from time to time, and the power is not ordinary. Being noticed by this poisonous woman is not a good thing for Jia Cong.
I need to find a way to get rid of this poisonous woman to avoid causing trouble for Jia Cong.
It's just that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and try not to leave any loopholes, so that no one is aware of it.
At this moment, the queen looked at Concubine Zhou with murderous intent in her eyes.
For the sake of my little lover, I would take a risk even if I had no choice but to do so.
Not to mention that Concubine Zhou had been sentenced to death by the queen, Concubine Chen standing next to her looked at Concubine Zhou with eyes full of evil.
At the same time, I couldn't help but worry about Jia Cong, fearing that Emperor Longqing would believe Concubine Zhou's lies.
She was a little worried about this. At this time, Emperor Longqing still trusted Jia Cong very much. Concubine Zhou's provocative words would not have much effect. At most, they would only lay a hidden danger.
Emperor Longqing glanced at Concubine Zhou indifferently, and said expressionlessly: "Zhou Hao led people to surround and kill Ning Guogong, which is tantamount to rebellion. He deserves to be killed. If he didn't confiscate the Zhou family and exterminate the family, he would be outside the law." I'm sorry, this is for the sake of my beloved concubine, please don't mention this matter again."
Concubine Zhou's expression darkened when she heard this.
The Tian family is ruthless and has been like this since ancient times. It is impossible to expect Emperor Longqing to vent his anger on him. He can only find a way later.
Thinking of this, Concubine Zhou no longer hesitated, leaned down and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I know what to do."
Emperor Long Qing nodded and said, "Well, since there's nothing else, my dear concubine, please step aside first."
"Concubine, please retire."
······
Rongguo Mansion, in Jia Mu's room.
Ever since Jia Cong left the capital with his sisters, Jia Mu's place has been a lot deserted.
Jia's mother is a lively person, so she is not used to being so cool.
He could only invite Aunt Xue, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing to help him talk and relieve his boredom.
Mother Jia sighed and said, "Those little girls are not at home. Although they are a lot cleaner, they are not used to it. I haven't seen them for many days and I miss them a little. I don't know where they are now?"
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Oh, ancestor, you are too partial. My sister-in-law and I come here to serve you every day, and we also have to accompany you to relieve your boredom. We are exhausted, and there is nothing in the heart of our ancestor. No, it’s not as good as those sisters who go out to play, no, let’s find a place to play tomorrow, and we won’t be here to wait on you.”
Jia Mu laughed and said: "Listen, I just said one thing, this monkey is so unwilling to let me go, he actually arranged something wrong with me."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Those girls, the old lady watched them grow up. This sudden separation, it is inevitable to miss me in my heart. Baby Bao has always been by my side, accompanying me to depend on each other. This time she left my side, I miss you too."
Mother Jia smiled and said: "Brother Cong wanted me to go with him, but I am an old man who can't stand the bumps and I am too lazy to move. My concubine is still young, so why didn't you go shopping with him?"
Aunt Xue said: "Bao Yatou wants me to go with you, but if I leave too, there will be no one at home. When Pan'er comes back, there will be no one at home, so after thinking about it, I might as well forget it.
When they young people went out to play, I was already an old woman, so I stopped following them. Besides, it would take them three to five months to come back. They were very tired along the way, and I was a little too lazy to move. "
Mrs. Wang said: "Being on the road for a long time is indeed very tiring. My sister is right not to go. Even those girls will probably be very tired when they come back."
Jia Mu said, "That's right. Traveling for a long time is very hard, but I can't bear it when I'm old."
Li Wan said: "I heard from them that Brother Cong originally wanted to take the land route. Seeing that the sisters wanted to follow him, they changed to taking the water route. They went all the way south along the canal, directly to the Yangtze River, and then all the way east along the Yangtze River. , I changed to a sea-going ship at the seaport, and I was on the ship all the way, so it wasn’t that hard.”
Wang Xifeng said: "If they hadn't stayed out for too long this time and I didn't have so much time, I would have wanted to go shopping with them. Sister-in-law, you have nothing to do at home, so why don't you go shopping with them? This opportunity is very rare.
That is, Brother Cong, who feels sorry for these sisters. Others would not have such leisure. If they go out with Brother Cong, they don't have to worry about safety, they don't have to spend their own money, and they don't know if they will have the chance to go out in the future. "
Li Wan said: "You are reluctant to give up the power in your hands. Even if you have a chance next time, you will not go. If you go, it will be okay for us to be companions. I will go out alone with Brother Cong, but it is It’s not appropriate.”
Wang Xifeng curled her lips and cursed secretly for being a prude.
What does it mean that you can go with me but not by yourself? Is there any difference? Not all are the same.
However, my sister-in-law has been struggling alone for so many years, but she is also admirable.
At least he is much better than me, but I really couldn't bear it. Brother Cong has only been away for about ten days, and I miss him a little. Hey, I don't know when he will come back.
That bastard Jia Lian, I haven't paid much attention to him in recent times, but he's been so aggressive that he's been away from home every day.
Thinking of Jia Lian who was fooling around outside every day, Wang Xifeng became very angry.
However, thinking that he was no better than him after sleeping with his brother, he gave up.
Speaking of which, he was still better than Jia Lian. He was just drugged by that bastard Aunt Zhao.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with asking his brother to help detoxify. Who asked him to be away from home? He can't bring in an outsider to help detoxify. This is considered cheap and he can't go out.
There is nothing to argue about between two brothers. Who do you sleep with?
Since you are busy going out and sleeping with other people's wives every day, leaving your wife idle at home and letting your brothers work for you, weeding, watering, and fertilizing, can be considered a favor to you.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile. I was not the one who suffered the loss, not as honest as my sister-in-law.
"What my sister-in-law said, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. If you want to go, just follow him. It's not like you are going with him alone. There are so many sisters following you. Are you still worried that he will eat you?"
Li Wan was stunned when he heard this, then his face turned red, and he spat: "Bah, you really have no control over your mouth, you dare to say anything nonsense, you are indeed a hottie, I am a sister-in-law, and I go out with my brother-in-law. , what the hell is going on, it won’t sound good if word spreads about it.”
Wang Xifeng curled her lips and said: "What's the point? I'm not afraid of slanting shadows when I'm upright. Let others say whatever they want. Just do what you want to do. If I didn't have time, I would have gone with you. Now I feel a little regretful.”
Li Wan said: "I'm different from you. I'm a widower and it's easy for people to gossip."
Wang Xifeng leaned close to Li Wan's ear and whispered: "It's better to be a widowed sister-in-law. There is nothing to worry about. You can do whatever you want. Let Brother Cong help you weed and fertilize. I won't be so beautiful to you."
When Li Wan heard this, his face turned red instantly, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
A long-lost, dusty feeling surged into my heart again.
He glared at Wang Xifeng fiercely and whispered: "Feng Lazi, you are going to die. How dare you say such things? Let Lian Er hear it carefully and see if I can beat you to death."
Wang Xifeng snorted and said: "My aunt is not afraid of him. She knows that she is not at home every day. It would be good if I don't deal with him."
Seeing Li Wan's red face, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch her, and said with a smile: "This little lady has such tender skin and tender flesh. I really feel pity for her. Come on, give me a smile."
Li Wan reached out and slapped away Wang Xifeng's claws, and said angrily: "Get out of here, you mother."
Jia Mu chuckled and said, "What are you two sisters whispering about? Tell us and let us listen."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Ancestor, we have discussed that next time Brother Cong goes out again, we will also go out to see more. We have never seen the sea."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Don't talk about you, we haven't met either. However, Pan'er and his second uncle's family often go overseas to do business, so we should have seen them."
While they were chatting and laughing, Jia Zheng walked in, saluted Jia's mother and sat aside.
Seeing that Jia Zheng hadn't left, Jia's mother said with some confusion: "Why don't you leave? What's the matter?"
Jia Zheng smiled awkwardly, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Jia Mu said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, hesitantly, it's not fun at all."
Jia Zheng organized his speech and said: "Old lady, today there is an urgent report from the south. Brother Cong was ambushed on the road. It is said that the six thousand troops from the Xuzhou camp are surrounding them and killing them."
"What?"
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Jia Mu stood up immediately, her face full of shock, and everyone rushed forward to support her.
Aunt Xue also stood up anxiously and looked at Jia Zheng worriedly. His daughter Bao Yatou is also with Brother Cong. If something happens to her, she will not be able to survive.
Mrs. Wang's heart was complicated, but there was a hint of joy in her eyes. It's great that this bastard has today.
Mrs. Xing had a worried look on her face. Over the years, Jia Cong had been very filial to her and offered money to her every year. She already regarded Jia Cong as her biological son. In the Jia family, the one she cared about most was Jia Cong.
He didn't want anything to happen to Jia Cong. He would still be counting on Jia Cong for the rest of his life, and no one else could.
Wang Xifeng also had a worried look on her face. Why was she so unlucky? She was surrounded and killed when she went out. She had just hooked up and something like this happened. What should she do in the future?
I hope Brother Cong will be able to bring good luck to people and heaven. I wonder how the sisters are doing?
Li Wan was also confused. How could such a thing happen? Who did Brother Cong offend? There is such a murderous intention? Hope everyone is okay.
Jia Mu said anxiously: "What's going on? How is Brother Cong doing? And where is my Yu'er?"
Jia Zheng said quickly: "Old lady, don't worry. Brother Cong is fine. Everyone else is fine too. You don't have to worry."
Jia's mother looked at Jia Zheng, wondering in her heart. She frowned and said angrily: "You didn't lie to me? Who did you learn this habit of breathing heavily? Did you want to scare me to death?" "
