Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Although Mr. Zhu is Li Qiong's husband, he is still a foreigner after all.

It is inconvenient for Concubine Zhen to meet him directly.

She sat behind the screen and listened to the conversation between the prince and Mr. Zhu.

Li Qiong explained the difficulties she is currently facing, and would like to see what Mr. Zhu has to say?

Mr. Zhu obviously didn't expect the emperor to make such a move before he died, and he was quite surprised.

But he didn't show these emotions outside, and always maintained a calm posture.

"Your Highness, don't worry, this matter is not unsolvable."

Hearing this, Li Qiong immediately became energetic and asked urgently.

"What's your plan, sir? Please tell me in detail."

Mr. Zhu expressed his thoughts in this way.

After listening to Li Qiong, he suddenly realized.

How can it be like this!

But then he frowned again: "Sir's method can save the imperial concubine from dying temporarily, but what will we do in the future?"

Mr. Zhu: "In the future, when you are firmly seated on the throne, you can find any excuse, such as the imperial concubine being unwell, and you can bring people back to the palace. No one will dare to gossip again.”

Li Qiong thinks this plan is feasible.

He turned around and said to Concubine Zhen through the screen.

"Mother, you are saved!"

Concubine Zhen was naturally happy to be spared death.

It seems that Li Qiong's vision is not wrong, this Mr. Zhu is indeed a talent.

She first praised Mr. Zhu a few words, then changed the subject and asked about another matter.

"I heard that you arrested someone near the palace gate just now. I don't know who that person is? Can I have a look at it?"

Mr. Zhu respectfully said: "It's just a little thief. The imperial concubine can watch it anytime she wants, but now that the saint has just passed away, and you are in danger. From my point of view, now is not the time to be distracted."

Li Qiong also said: "Mr. is right. The most important thing now is to save the life of the concubine mother. Let's talk about other small things later. Anyway, people are there, and it is impossible to escape."

Concubine Zhen is not such an easy person to fool.

Seeing that the other party talked about him left and right, she became more and more suspicious.

"Tell me honestly, who is the person caught by you? If you don't tell me, I will go to Commander Habayashi to find out!"

Seeing that she insisted on breaking the casserole and asking the end, Li Qiong had no choice but to signal Mr. Zhu to tell the truth.

Mr. Zhu: "It's the maid of Huansha Pavilion. She lied that she was ordered to leave the palace. After being found out, she suddenly attacked Habayashi Wei. Fortunately, we had an ambush and took her down in one fell swoop. Now she is locked up In the Department of Punishment, await the disposal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Concubine Zhen was dubious: "Huansha Pavilion?"

Mr. Zhu took out a waist badge from his sleeve: "This is from that maid."

Li Qiong took the badge and looked at it, then turned her head and said to Concubine Zhen.

"Concubine Mu, it is indeed the badge of Huansha Pavilion."

Concubine Zhen frowned, could it be that she made a mistake? Wasn't Hua Manman the person who was caught?

She asked, "Do you know why she forced her way through the palace gate?"

Mr. Zhu: "I just asked someone to imprison her, and I haven't had time to formally interrogate her in the future. I still don't know her true origin and purpose."

Concubine Zhen is unable to protect herself now, so she can't go to the Punishment Department in person for the time being.

She could only put this matter aside for the time being, and go to the Department of Punishment to find out after solving her own troubles.

Concubine Zhen ordered.

"Before I have seen her personally, you are not allowed to torture her, and you must let her live well."

Mr. Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Here."

Inside the chapter hall.

The Queen Mother waited for a long time, but did not see Concubine Zhen came back, and began to feel restless.

"Why hasn't anyone come back yet?"

Mammy knew what she was worried about, so she bent down and comforted her in a low voice.

"Don't worry, she can't escape."

Even if Concubine Zhen is afraid of death, she can't just run away like this.

Behind her is not only the prince, but also the huge Zhong'anbo mansion. If she runs away, the prince and everyone in the Zhong'anbo mansion will be implicated.

With the character of Concubine Zhen, she would never do such a reckless thing.

The queen mother frowned and said: "Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, who knows what she thinks in her heart? You send someone to Yufu Palace to have a look."

As soon as Mammy agreed, she saw a eunuch rushing in hastily.

He fell to his knees with a thud, stuttering a lot because he was too panicked.

"Mrs. Mrs. Your Highness the Prince wants to commit suicide!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

The queen mother suddenly stood up: "How is it possible?!"

The eunuch knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The maidservant just came from Yufu Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince locked himself in the room and did not allow anyone to enter. He has a sword in his hand and can kill himself at any time."

The Empress Dowager couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately ordered someone to drive Yufu Palace.

Not only the queen mother, but also the left and right prime ministers, concubine Shu, and fifth prince Li Yi also followed.

When they arrived at Yufu Palace, they saw people kneeling on the ground in the yard, all of them were wiping their tears, crying very sadly.

The queen mother hurriedly asked: "Where is the prince?"

Xixiang stood up, wiped away tears and said.

"His Royal Highness is in the side hall."

"Take Ai's family there quickly!"

A group of people came to the gate of the side hall in a mighty manner.

The door of the side hall was tightly closed, no matter how much Zhen Guifei knocked on the door and yelled, the people inside would not open the door.

The Empress Dowager walked over with the support of her mother, and asked sharply at Concubine Zhen.

"What the hell is going on? The emperor just died, can't you calm down?!"

Concubine Zhen's eyes were red, and she was already sobbing: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

Seeing her repeating the same sentence over and over again, the queen mother scolded something useless irritably.

The prince's voice came from the hall.

"Grandmother, please don't blame the concubine mother, everything is voluntary by the grandson.

The mother and concubine gave birth to a grandson in October of her pregnancy, and raised her grandson with painstaking efforts.

Let the grandson watch the concubine mother die, please forgive the grandson, it is really impossible!

But the emperor's father spoke well, and the children did not dare to disobey the emperor's last wish.

After thinking about it, the grandson can only use his own life to meet the life of his mother and concubine, so that he can have both loyalty and filial piety.

I also hope that the emperor's grandmother will come true! "

The queen mother was almost pissed off by his remarks.

She scolded angrily: "You have both loyalty and filial piety, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the world after you die?"

The prince asked back: "Dazhou has always ruled the world with filial piety. If the grandson can watch his mother and concubine die in front of his eyes, it will be unfilial. How can unfilial people govern the world? How can they set an example?"

The Queen Mother was speechless.

She could only turn her head to look at the left and right prime ministers.

These two are both champions, and they are very eloquent.

Now is the time for them to use their abilities.

The two prime ministers on the left and right suddenly felt dizzy, and complained incessantly.

This is really getting shot while lying down!
