Chapter 141 Mother and Son
After Huimin's layer-by-layer arrangements, the emperor was able to find clues one by one.
That night, the emperor was furious, but he did not go to see the empress dowager immediately.
The emperor is suspicious and the royal family is ungrateful.
The emperor reacted quickly. What was the empress dowager's intention?
Is it for Fourteen who is guarding the imperial mausoleum?
Or is it for Longkodo?
It seems that the Queen Mother knows her plan.
Well, this plan should be implemented sooner rather than later.
Too late and things will change.
It seems that the Empress Dowager wants a lover, not a son.
If he can attack his grandson today, he can also attack his own son tomorrow.
The emperor's heart grew colder and colder.
Yes, the Empress Dowager has more than one son.
Even, in her heart, am I her son?
Or... from the moment he was given to Tong Jia, she treated him as if she didn't have a son.
The emperor asked himself and could vaguely guess the answer.
He closed his eyes, feeling somewhat powerless for the first time since he ascended the throne.
Even when Prince Dun was plotting treason, Nian Gengyao was too successful and frightened the emperor, and Longkodo was arrogant and formed a clique, he never had such a feeling.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before when he was fighting with the Eighth and Ninth Brothers for the throne.
Only Uya, my biological mother, can make me understand.
pain.
The emperor remained silent for a long time, then slowly stood up and said softly:
"Su Peisheng, go to Shoukang Palace."
Su Peisheng carefully observed the emperor's expression. He saw that the emperor looked very calm, but the emotions in his eyes were too complicated and thick. There was surging anger, pain, or something else...
Storm is coming!
Su Peisheng quickly lowered his head and dared not look again.
"Whoo."
Along the way, the emperor remained silent, with only the sound of the bracelet turning.
Su Peisheng bent even lower.
Your Majesty, this is extremely disappointing.
When we arrived at Shoukang Palace, the empress dowager was still taking medicine.
Zhu Xi was serving on the side. The concubines who served him this time were Xia Dongchun, An Lingrong, and Xin Changzai.
The three of them divided the work in an orderly manner and saw the emperor coming suddenly.
It was also an accident.
"I have seen your Majesty."
The emperor didn't pay much attention to these concubines, but gave Xia Dongchun a special look.
Suddenly I thought that Hongyao is still under her care. Is the child adapting well?
I wonder how Concubine Xian is doing?
But this thought only lasted for a moment, and the emperor suddenly realized that the virtuous concubine's illness was too strange.
The emperor felt even more depressed, but despite all the twists and turns in his mind, he remained calm.
"Everyone, go back. I will accompany the Empress Dowager."
After hearing what the emperor said, An Lingrong and Xin Changzai hesitated and went to see the empress dowager.
But Xia Dongchun said it immediately without thinking.
"Concubine, please retire."
She just left?
Xin Changzai glanced at Xia Dongchun's back. This also depends on the Queen Mother's opinion. She...
Just go back and tell Concubine Xian about it.
The emperor looked at the reactions of the three of them and saw that Concubine Xin and the others went to ask the Empress Dowager about her opinion, and he felt a little dissatisfied.
Why doesn’t the Emperor’s words work? Do we need to ask the Empress Dowager for instructions again?
However, when the emperor saw Xia Dongchun leave neatly, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Although Xia was a little rash, she was a very affectionate person.
The emperor was satisfied.
After the concubines left, the emperor dismissed the palace servants.
Then he sat on the couch and talked to the Queen Mother.
Seeing the emperor's performance, the empress dowager also had some guesses.
But he still doesn't point it out directly, pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. It's rare to be ignorant.
"Your Majesty is very busy, how can you find time to visit me today?"
The Emperor was so angry that he wanted to laugh. At this time, the Queen Mother still acted as if nothing had happened. Did she want me to take the initiative to give in?
But the emperor still suppressed his anger.
Instead of mentioning the harem, he mentioned the previous dynasty first.
"Longkodo relied on his support to accept bribes, formed a clique for personal gain, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and abused his power. He has been imprisoned in Changchun Garden."
The Queen Mother's hand trembled, and she put the teacup down again.
"Nian Gengyao is dead, and Long Ke is old. Just let him go back to live out his days. Why should Your Majesty..."
The emperor felt even colder in his heart when he saw the empress dowager defending Longkodo in every possible way.
"He has committed so many crimes, how can I let him go?"
Seeing that she could not persuade the emperor, the empress dowager hesitated for a moment and then brought up Empress Xiaoyi Ren, Tong Jia, the woman she hated so much.
"When the emperor was young, he was raised by Empress Xiaoyiren. Longkodo is her biological brother. The emperor usually calls him uncle. The emperor also has to consider Empress Xiaoyiren's face."
"Besides, Longkodo was a meritorious minister who helped the emperor ascend the throne. If the emperor were to deal with Longkodo now, some people would say that the emperor was killing the donkey after it had done its work."
The emperor looked at the queen mother coldly, and at this time he even brought up Tong Jia's mother. She...
"Nian Gengyao had already been removed, so Longkodo had to be removed as well. The Empress Dowager spoke out to defend Longkodo many times. Why was the Empress Dowager indifferent when Nian Gengyao was removed? Is there anything special about Longkodo?"
The Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor had made up his mind and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ai, I have tried my best...
You, my son can't tolerate you.
The result of this conversation was that the emperor left in anger.
The Queen Mother no longer allowed concubines to take care of her when she was sick.
A few days later, news of Longkodo's death came.
Since then, the two major contributors to the emperor's ascension to the throne, Nian Gengyao and Longkodo, have fallen one after another.
But the Queen Mother's illness became more and more serious.
However, the emperor never went to Shoukang Palace again after that day.
On the contrary, he went to Chuxiu Palace and Qixiang Palace very frequently.
That day, the Emperor went to see the Empress Dowager, and when he came back he first checked the Imperial Hospital. He asked Huimin to stop taking the medicated diet and prescribed some "tonifying" medicine for Huimin.
Immediately afterwards, he urgently summoned Doctor Wang to treat Huimin's health.
Huimin still remembers the emperor's expression that day.
That is guilt and heartache.
In the emperor's heart.
This is the virtuous concubine who loves him deeply, Hongyao's mother.
The virtuous concubine was extremely filial to the empress dowager. She served her every day and never complained to her even though she was sick. She only wanted to be filial to her on her behalf.
The virtuous concubine was pure, filial, and virtuous, and there was nothing to fault with her.
The emperor was very satisfied.
But the Queen Mother...
Hongyao was so young, how could he leave his mother? He killed his biological mother and found a new adoptive mother. He wanted the child to follow in his footsteps.
As a mother, Concubine Xian was devoted to her son, and as a concubine, she was devoted to the emperor.
Why can't the Queen Mother tolerate it?
It seems that the Empress Dowager can’t tolerate the virtuous concubine, but me.
The emperor felt even more pity for Huimin when he knew that she had suffered great injustice and unexpected disaster.
Not only did she personally carry Hongyao back to Chuxiu Palace, she also assigned Imperial Physician Wang to take care of Huimin.
For several days in a row, he was concerned about Huimin's health and went to Chuxiu Palace for lunch every day.
Play with Hongyao and enjoy the father-son love.
Huimin no longer had to pretend to be sick, and her health gradually improved.
But although Huimin recovered, the Queen Mother's health was getting worse day by day.
Heart disease is difficult to cure.
