Chapter 362 The Queen only has 3 days left
If the emperor suddenly asked this question, no matter how strong Concubine De was, she would reveal her flaws in panic.
However, she had already prepared herself mentally.
At this moment, most of Concubine De's face was wrapped in gauze, and her expression could not be seen clearly. But in her exposed eyes, there was a mother's tenderness: "Your Majesty, it's true."
"That day, I was admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden. I saw the eldest princess running and sweating profusely, so I took her to rest in the pavilion for a while."
"At that time, I told Qingdai that if the third prince was a princess, he would grow up to be as lovely as the eldest princess."
"Why did your Majesty suddenly ask about this?"
There was nothing wrong with Concubine De's expression. Anyone who saw it would think she was telling the truth.
If Nangong Xuanyu came directly to Chengqian Palace, he would probably believe it. However, after the preparations made by Concubine Liu and Shen Zhinian, he was full of doubts about Concubine De.
Combined with the fact that Concubine De had once pretended to be crazy and fooled everyone...
Nangong Xuanyu only felt that her acting skills and scheming were deeper than he had imagined.
It's not wrong to be scheming in the harem, but he doesn't like such women.
But... looking at the third prince who was still in his infancy, the emperor would always unconsciously think of his childhood self...
Finally, he looked at Concubine De coldly and said, "The eldest princess is the apple of the eye of the imperial concubine. Since you have had a disagreement with the imperial concubine, you should stay away from the eldest princess in the future to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"And since you are injured, you should take good care of yourself and don't go out for anything else."
It is a reminder and also a warning!
The expression on Concubine De's face did not change: "Yes. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Nangong Xuanyu didn't look at her again and turned away.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After the emperor disappeared, Qingdai was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Your Majesty, what His Majesty said just now was obviously directed at you..."
"For the sake of the Third Prince, he didn't expose this matter, but that doesn't mean he didn't know..."
Concubine De's eyes became darker. "So what? Your Majesty didn't punish me in the end."
Having said that, Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Your Majesty. Will he continue to favor Your Majesty in the future?
Qingdai was about to speak, but when she saw Defei's expression, she suddenly understood.
How could the Queen not know this truth that even she knew? She just refused to admit it.
The third prince had fallen asleep, and Concubine De asked the wet nurse to take him away.
She leaned back on the bed, carefully reviewing every event that had happened since she left Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Finally, Concubine De sighed deeply: "I was too impatient..."
After giving birth to the second prince after ten months of pregnancy, the second prince was murdered by someone. Concubine De didn't want to repeat the same mistake. So she tried every means to get rid of all the people in the harem who could threaten her!
Only by climbing to a higher position can she protect herself and the third prince and prevent the third prince from suffering the same fate as the second prince.
However, she never expected that she was too eager for quick success and it would backfire in the end. Not only did she make countless enemies in the harem, but even His Majesty was dissatisfied with her...
This cannot go on.
At this moment, Concubine De's crazy heart became much more sober: "Since His Majesty has ordered me to recover from my injuries, the gate of Chengqian Palace will be closed from today. Except for the imperial physician, I will not see anyone!"
One is to get my face treated with peace of mind.
The second is to extricate yourself from this vortex in time.
The third is to express our position to His Majesty.
No matter what, the Third Prince is still young. For the sake of the Third Prince, as long as she behaves herself for a while, His Majesty will calm down.
Qing Dai said respectfully: "Yes!"
……
On the way back to Yangxin Palace.
Nangong Xuanyu sat on the emperor's ceremonial guard, his eyes as sharp as a sword: "Tell the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital to take good care of the two pregnant concubines in the harem, and don't worry too much about other people's affairs."
Li Changde understood what His Majesty meant. He wanted the imperial doctors to not use their best skills to treat Concubine De's face.
Without her beauty, even if Concubine De had the Third Prince by her side, she wouldn't be able to make much waves.
It's not that Your Majesty is cruel to Concubine De. It's because Concubine De wanted to use the eldest princess to plot against Concubine Rou and Noble Lady Zhou's heirs.
Not to mention how much His Majesty dotes on the eldest princess, Concubine Rou is the apple of His Majesty's eye! Isn't Concubine De seeking death? It's her own fault that she ended up like this.
"Yes!"
……
Yongshou Palace.
After learning that the emperor left here last night, first went to Zhongcui Palace, then to Chengqian Palace, and finally returned to Yangxin Palace to rest, Concubine Liu's face instantly turned gloomy!
"Roupin is pregnant with the heir to the throne, so your Majesty should just go and see her, but why do you have to go to Chengqian Palace again?!"
"Your Majesty knows how vicious that bitch Xiao Yueying is. Why give her such face?!"
Cuizhu brought back the latest news: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Your Majesty just left last night, and Concubine De said that Chengqian Palace will be closed to visitors for the next period of time."
"Although her reason was to rest and recuperate, I guess that it was definitely His Majesty who tricked her. But for the sake of the Third Prince, His Majesty did not publicly order her to be imprisoned like he did to Concubine Liang."
Concubine Liu raised her eyes and looked at Cuizhu: "You mean, His Majesty went to Chengqian Palace last night not to visit Concubine De, but to settle accounts with her?"
Cuizhu covered her mouth and smiled: "That's right."
Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I also heard that His Majesty told the people in the Imperial Hospital not to treat the De Fei with all their heart."
"Think about it, the Imperial Hospital would certainly not let everyone in the palace know about such a secret matter. Since I know it, it must be your Majesty's intention."
"What does this mean?"
Concubine Liu's expression turned from gloomy to bright: "Your Majesty deliberately leaked this news to me, just to let me know that he vented his anger for me and gave Concubine De a severe punishment!"
Cuizhu thought that although His Majesty had this consideration, he should have been more concerned about the Queen's temper and asked her not to cause unrest in the harem again.
But she didn't dare to say this, she could only smile and say, "Your Highness is right!"
"What is Empress Defei? Even if she gave birth to the third prince, her importance in His Majesty's heart cannot be compared with yours!"
Concubine Liu snorted, then smiled and said, "I knew that His Majesty would not sit idly by and watch me suffer injustice!"
"I'm afraid the root of Concubine De's nose cannot be cured!"
……
Kunning Palace.
Although the Empress and the people in the palace were imprisoned for a long time, Concubine Wen, after all, remembered the sisterhood and asked the imperial physician to take the Empress' pulse and prescribe medicine every ten days.
Concubine Wen was the most favored concubine in the palace, and no one dared to disobey her orders. Even the guards guarding Kunning Palace turned a blind eye.
Today, Fanghua knelt beside the bed, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Because the imperial physician just said that the queen only has three days left...
