Chapter 367 Sowing Discord
Concubine Yi heard the message from the Queen's Palace, and knew that it was probably because of the incident that day, and it passed without delay.
When they came to Jingning Palace, after seeing the ceremony, the queen asked directly, "You went to the Emperor Temple to pray, why did you come back so soon?"
Concubine Yi said: "Something happened yesterday, so the concubine came back first."
Seeing that she had no intention of hiding anything, the queen asked her to sit down, "Tell me, what happened that day?"
Concubine Yi sat down and sighed, "The concubine hesitated all night about this matter, not knowing whether I should tell the empress or not, because the concubine is always an outsider, and I am afraid that I will provoke the empress if I say this. The relationship with the concubine's sister-in-law will even hurt the relationship between His Royal Highness the crown prince and the regent's uncle and nephew."
The queen said indifferently: "If it's true feelings, it can't be hurt anyway. If it's false, there's no harm or no harm. If you have something to say, just say it."
Concubine Yi raised her eyes and looked at the Queen's cold face, with a look of helplessness on her face, "There is no one else in the imperial temple, except for the masters, and the concubine is the only witness. The girl was locked up in the firewood room of the imperial temple, but the guards said that the girl was rude to the prince, so the prince arrested her and locked her up just to intimidate her. Not long after being imprisoned, the concubine came with someone, beat the prince without explanation, and killed two guards around the prince. At that time, the courtiers and concubines were all terrified. This is a royal temple after all, how can they kill casually? , Wangfei's arrogance is also very arrogant, it is very different from the past, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I would never believe it."
The queen's lungs were about to explode when she heard that, and she said through gritted teeth: "It seems that the palace really underestimated her that day. No wonder this person defeated the prime minister and the old lady. It turns out that he is such a powerful and arrogant character."
Concubine Yi said: "Who says it's not? When I saw her pitifully that day, I thought she was really being treated coldly. In fact, from regretting the marriage that day, King Liang could see that she had a deep heart. If she didn't want to get married, she could tell her Come out; she lost face to King Liang in front of so many guests, and now she is eager to do something to please King Liang, so that His Highness can change her view of her. You know, the Regent loves His Highness King Liang very much. I'm afraid it's a trap, the girl left in the princess mansion, and the concubine was also in the mansion at the time, and I heard that the conflict happened in the princess mansion. I have the support of the princess."
After thinking about it, the queen felt that what Concubine Yi said was very reasonable. Xin'er had said before that she wanted to marry this Wang Yi'er, but she strongly opposed her and added his own problems, so she gave up. Now that he is fine, I'm afraid the idea will change again. No wonder I immediately went to the Lin family to divorce the engagement yesterday.
She remembered that the guards said Wang Yi'er was defiled, so she asked Concubine Yi, "After that girl was arrested in the Imperial Temple, did the Crown Prince really ask someone to defile her?"
"The concubine didn't see this with her own eyes. His Highness went to the Imperial Temple, but first he came to greet the concubine. He was not in the firewood room. I'm afraid the guards might have delusional thoughts about that girl." Concubine Yi said .
The queen hummed, thinking in her heart, regardless of whether there is any taint or not, that Yi'er is determined not to marry Xin'er, and Xia Zi'an's instigation can be so smooth, most likely because the kid still has this girl in his heart, I am afraid that she is the only one who will die , Only then can he stop his thoughts, and he will not be used again.
Thinking of this, she looked at Concubine Yi, "Concubine Yi, what happened in the Imperial Temple will always damage the crown prince's reputation, and I hope you don't say a word to outsiders."
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines can't say it. You can't say that Your Highness was beaten up by the princess of the dynasty because of a commoner girl, right? Besides, Buddhism is pure. If such a thing happened, it's okay to say it." It sounds good."
"Yes, after all, it's the Imperial Temple. How would people guess when something like this happened?" The queen was thinking in her heart, but she didn't see the meaningful look on Concubine Yi's face.
Concubine Yi hated Zi'an deeply, but the most efficient way to kill someone was to borrow someone's hand. It was more suitable for the queen to do it than her.
"If there is nothing else, the concubine will go back first." Concubine Yi stood up and bowed.
"Okay, you should go back first. By the way, I heard that the Seventh Prince was not feeling well two days ago. How is he doing now?" the queen asked.
"It's much better, the empress is still thinking about this matter? I thank you on Qi'er's behalf." Concubine Yi said with a smile.
"Naturally, he is also a child of this palace, so he can be brought over to Jingning Palace to play when he has more time." The queen said perfunctorily.
"Okay!" Yifei said.
After sending Concubine Yi out, the Queen still couldn't let King Liang go, and ordered people to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to inquire about the situation. Hong Hua came back and reported that King Liang wanted to leave the palace and return to the mansion, and the Empress Dowager had ordered people to prepare.
The queen was very angry, "Let him go, so as not to worry, did the imperial doctor say anything?"
Honghua hesitated for a moment, "The imperial doctor said that I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my legs, and I may not be able to stand up in the future."
Although this is what the queen asked for, but hearing Honghua say this, my heart still hurts, two lines of tears fell sadly, and said in shock: "I'm afraid he hates me from now on, but he knows the difficulties of me Is it? I am also doing it for his own good, even though I lost my legs, I can still live."
Hong Hua comforted: "There is no overnight hatred between mother and child, Your Highness will understand your mother's difficulties."
The queen gently wiped away her tears, "I can only hope so much. You go out and ask Pan Dan to take care of the palace. Among the guards here in this palace, only Pan Dan is more at ease."
"Yes!" Honghua led the order and went out.
Let's say that after Song Ruiyang left the palace, he went straight to the princess mansion and told Murong Jie and Zi'an what they saw in the queen's palace.
Zi An said: "Before King Liang entered the palace, he was already mentally prepared to be beaten up."
She was very relieved that she would not be too cruel if she wanted to be the queen, because she remembered that when she entered the palace for the first time, the queen originally wanted her life, but in the end she let her go for the sake of saving King Liang. King Liang was very nervous to see her.
Hearing what Zi An said, Song Ruiyang couldn't help but be surprised, "What's the matter? The queen is not easy to attack. It seems that King Liang's legs have been crippled."
Murong Jie suddenly stood up, "Abolished? Beating so hard?"
"Isn't it? It's a thorn stick, and the guard counted it, sixty sticks." Song Ruiyang said.
Murong Jie and Zi'an's expressions changed greatly, is it still worth the 60 board? If this is not done well, it will even kill you.
Murong Jie said to Song Ruiyang: "I will take my leave first. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do, he will walk around the Princess Mansion. Excuse me!"
Song Ruiyang said: "I just wanted to say something, I have to go, I still have things to do."
After that, he got up and said goodbye.
After ordering the carriage to be ready, Zian hurried in to check the medicine box and saw that there were all the medicines to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, so he rushed out with the medicine box and Murong Jie on his back.
