Chapter 23 Swear by the Xue Clan's Prosperity and Wealth
In full view of everyone, Princess An Yi suddenly mentioned this past event, and the face of Emperor Qin Cang became even more ugly.
The second prince Qin Junhua was already a little muted. Seeing that his mother was unconscious and his sister cried again, he just pulled Qin Cang's sleeve, "Father, Father..."
Queen Xue looked at Qin Cang's undisguised disappointment and disgust, as if she fell into an ice cave.
A sudden sense of disbelief rose in her heart. Concubine Jing looked honest with her three sticks all day long, and she could even bother to make such a big plan.
"An Yi, don't be polite!" A hint of panic appeared in the dignity on Xue Baolan's face, "Your Majesty, I have been sleeping with you for more than 20 years. Do you still know what kind of person I am like? These foolish slaves are just talking about it..."
Yun Xihe lowered his head and pursed the corners of his lips. When she broke up before, she could see that the emperor is a person who is used to whitewashing peace. As long as the matter is not serious enough, he will not be willing to take care of it.
But as the emperor, he didn't care about anything. For example, the imperial heir was something he valued very much.
Qin Cang had only three sons, two daughters, five descendants. The eldest son Qin Junze established the crown prince. The second prince Qin Junhua was ordinary. The third prince Qin Junzhuo was not visible and the mountain was not exposed. Apart from An Yi, the daughter, there was only one Princess Linglong who was still breastfeeding.
Today, Concubine Jing was in danger and pulled the queen into the water in the name of killing the second prince, and hit Qin Cang's bottom line hard, so he had to take action.
"Enough!"
The gloomy face was about to drip out of water.
"Lu Yuan has personally admitted that the red flower was taken by your palace! The daughter of the Yun family is Junze's flesh and blood! How can you do it? There is still the incident more than 20 years ago, and I have given you enough face! Junhua has been born safely, and finally God has treated me well! Now, your son has already established a prince, what else can you not satisfy?"
"Emperor, Yun Ying'er is simply because she is weak and has no blessing in giving birth to children. The miscarriage has nothing to do with me! Also, as you said, I am now the queen and my son is the crown prince. Why should I go to attack the second prince again? Isn't it too stupid!"
Empress Xue was full of eagerness and argued urgently.
What's wrong with this?
Didn’t the emperor never care about these bad things in the harem? For more than 20 years, whenever he talks about the harem, he always praises the queen’s virtues and manages the six palaces and is not as chaotic as the harem of the previous dynasty.
How come so many things happen suddenly?
Xue Baolan suddenly felt that God no longer favored him.
She remembered that she really made up her mind to be a virtuous and generous queen at the beginning, but there were too many women in this harem. Today is Jing Concubine, tomorrow is Wang Guiren, and the next day is Zhou Changzai... No matter how virtuous she is, she is also a woman.
Which woman in the world is willing to share her husband with others?
In the more than 20 years since her hand covered the sky, she could no longer remember how many concubines in the harem had been treated and how many babies died at her hands.
She closed her eyes and calmed her mind. She walked through so many people's corpses and blood until now, and she had no way back.
Seeing the emperor sitting there staring at her fiercely, Queen Xue's eyes flashed and pointed at Yun Xihe beside her and said,
"Emperor, I not only have a good son, but also such a good future daughter-in-law! Xihe is kind in her heart. Since she has let go of her willingness to give Ying'er a way out, how could I, an elder, take such a cruel move?"
"I am really wronged, the emperor!" The queen knelt on the ground.
"I don't listen to these heart-killing words. What is the purpose of those large amount of red flowers? Xue Baolan, you may explain it clearly?" Qin Cang's eyes were so cold that there was no trace of warmth.
"I... I am not strict in my rule. I am afraid that some palace maid can steal this medicinal material and do such a ruthless thing. Please give me some time, and I will definitely give the Yun family and Concubine Jing an explanation." Xue Baolan was very stubborn.
"The person is here, what time will it take? Lu Yuanzheng, you said!" The emperor did not give her any face.
Lu Yuan was trembling and did not dare to look up. On one side was the emperor, on the other side was the queen, on the other side was himself, and on the other side was himself and killed nine clans. Of course, he sold the queen without hesitation.
"The Emperor, it is the criminal minister whom Madam Gu next to the Queen who came to find."
The Madam Gu, whose life was pointed out, was a loyal man and immediately fell to the ground, "Emperor, Empress, I am the old slave for a moment!"
The queen first breathed a sigh of relief, then showed an incredible expression, "Madam Gu?! Why are you?"
Madam Gu immediately kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! Your Highness is a body of gold. How can you let the slutty woman who is pregnant before marriage ruin her reputation? The old slave just lost her fetus and did not take her life. She was already letting her go!"
"There is also the second prince." Madam Gu paused, and couldn't make it up any longer, because she really couldn't expect the queen to have any reason to poison Concubine Jing and his son. She had to say toughly, "It was the old slave who hated Concubine Jing and the second prince who poisoned the! This matter has nothing to do with the Empress!"
"Madam Gu is careful." Yun Xihe suddenly spoke indifferently, "Yun Ying'er is my Yun family's daughter, and it's not a slave to criticize her."
"Yes! Yes! Miss Yun taught her a lesson right!" Madam Gu was very respectful. Anyway, since things had come to this point, she took everything to herself, "It's all my fault!"
"Your Majesty, I have worked hard to manage the harem for more than 20 years, and I have worked hard without any credit. Today, I am not careful, but I have asked people around me to do such things! It's all bad for me, please punish me." The queen covered her heart and looked like she was showing weakness.
She knew that the emperor was still a person who loved face. Although someone came to take the blame for this matter, the queen also had to make some gestures.
Qin Cang sighed long and was about to speak, when the second prince Qin Junhua, who was lying on the bed, suddenly cried, "Mother, wake up, Mother, without you, how can you live?"
An Yi also cried miserably, "Doctor Fan, when will the poison in my mother be cured?"
Qin Cang's heart, which had just softened, suddenly became harder again, and his face became more and more gloomy, "Queen, are you still treating me as a fool? Do you really think that I don't know anything?"
Madam Gu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, her forehead was broken and blood flowed, "Emperor, it's all a crime for me... It has nothing to do with the queen, the queen is innocent!"
Xue Baolan's face turned pale, and her body began to tremble gradually. She bit her lower lip tightly, and she kept herself awake. She didn't believe it, and what evidence could there be?
