Since entering the palace, the imperial concubine has never been reprimanded by the emperor like this, and it was still in front of the queen, so she couldn't help but look a little ugly. When the emperor first arrived at Jingyang Palace, he was in a very good mood. He was also very satisfied with the sweet soup she served.
However, not long after, the short-sighted imperial minister asked to see him. After the emperor went to see him, he came back with a gloomy face and ordered someone to announce the third prince.
The imperial concubine carefully brought a cup of tea to the emperor at first, wanting to test it out. Unexpectedly, the tea cup was smashed directly on her body, splashing tea all over her body. This was the first time since the imperial concubine entered the palace. She was so embarrassed, and the power of the emperor made her breathless, and she knelt down subconsciously.
Not long after, when Han Lingfu arrived in a hurry, the emperor threw a memorial at him with a black face.
At that moment, the mother and son thought it was about the fifth prince. It wasn't until Han Lingfu opened the memorial and read it that they realized it was about the private affair.
When the queen came, the emperor had just lost his temper, and Han Lingfu, who was kneeling below, was also desperately thinking of countermeasures.
The queen's eyes swept around the two people kneeling below. These were the emperor's favorite women and sons, but no matter how much she loved them, they were not as important as the imperial power. Selling smuggled salt, at a small scale, is just greed for profit, but at a big scale, it is a provocation to the imperial power. How can the emperor tolerate it?
The queen calmed down the emperor with a gentle voice, her eyes sparkling. She had been waiting for this good show for a long time.
"Calm down your anger? It would be great if I don't let him get angry to death!" The emperor picked up another envelope and threw it at Han Lingfu, "Look, this is all about impeaching this traitor!"
Han Lingfu didn't dare to dodge and let the zipper hit his forehead, leaving a **** red mark.
"Father, this is my son's fault!" Han Lingfu leaned down deeply and hit his forehead heavily on the ground. The imperial concubine felt distressed, and even the emperor's anger could not help but subside a little. , he subconsciously wanted to ask Han Lingfu to get up, but when his eyes glanced at the memorial on the ground, his brows furrowed again.
Han Lingfu saw all the emperor's reaction. He took a few steps on his knees, raised his head, and said with regret: "It's just that I'm usually too kind and soft-hearted, but I accidentally let Brother Nai take advantage of my name. If you do such a thing, please ask the father to punish the son for his negligence. But the father must trust the son, and the son will never do anything like ordering his subordinates to sell private salt!"
It was such a bitter trick, and the queen secretly sneered in her heart. It was also her fault that she was so neglectful towards these bastards. If it hadn't been for this time, she probably wouldn't have believed in this **** who was usually polite. The prince is actually so scheming.
"Father!" Han Lingfu leaned down again, pressing his head deeply to the ground, with a hint of choking in his voice, "Father, I admit my sin of negligence, what do you want? You can punish your sons and ministers, but please take care of your dragon body...Father!"
"Your Majesty." The imperial concubine wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She raised her head slightly and said like pear blossoms, "As you know, the mistress has always been filial. He would never dare to do anything that would displease you. This time It's clear that his subordinates did it because of their power. The mistress is at fault. You can hit or punish her, but you must believe in the mistress. He will never do such a thing. Your Majesty..." The imperial concubine's crystal tears followed. Her cheeks slid down. Even though her son was already so old, she was still as beautiful as before, with a little more mature charm.
The imperial concubine's tears made the emperor feel a little soft-hearted. Looking at Han Lingfu who was still deeply bowed to the ground, he thought to himself: Xiaosan is indeed filial and sensible on weekdays. He is the prince he is most satisfied with. He should do something like smuggling salt. I dare not do it. This child is still too soft-hearted, and he doesn't control his slaves well on weekdays.
In the eyes of the emperor, the prince's smuggling of salt and the prince's servants' smuggling of salt in the name of the prince were completely different. While observing her words, the queen sighed secretly, but quickly cheered up. She had never thought that this time alone could completely defeat Han Lingfu. However, there are still many days to come, so you can take your time!
"Your Majesty." The queen said softly, "The imperial concubine is right. The third emperor has been sensible and polite since he was a child. This time he was just deceived by a group of slaves, and it is not a big deal. You can't scold him. After scolding him, the Third Emperor will never dare to come again."
The queen's words gave the emperor a warning, and he nodded and responded: "The queen is right." He patted the back of the queen's hand and said softly, "You still understand me best. These children , Hey, this makes me really worried!"
Looking at this scene, the imperial concubine was a little angry and itched her teeth. She had been deeply favored by the emperor for many years, and the third prince she gave birth to was also the emperor's favorite son. Mother and son have always been equally popular in the palace, but now, she is kneeling here in such embarrassment, while the queen is sitting next to the emperor, looking down at them. This feeling is really shameful!
The queen smiled slightly and said warmly: "Your Majesty, the child will grow up."
Yes, children will grow up...
The emperor couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and narrowed his eyes slightly. Now those minions are taking advantage of their power, but will one day he do it himself? These children are getting older. After they have tasted power and wealth, will they still be as sensible and filial as they are now?
The imperial concubine realized something was wrong and was about to speak when she was stopped by the emperor.
The emperor had a cold face, they must know what imperial power is in this matter!
"Third Prince, from today on, you can study behind closed doors in your palace."
"Father..." Han Lingfu raised his head in disbelief, but soon he lowered his eyes, bowed his head and said thanks, "Thank you, Father!"
"Zhang Guifei. You have single-handedly selected the third prince's nurse and attendant. You have chosen such a profit-seeking and shameless person. The crime of negligence must be investigated. From today on, Zhang Guifei is demoted to the second-rank Concubine Zhang. , be punished for one year as a tribute to others."
Concubine Zhang, no, Concubine Zhang secretly resented that she had spent so much effort on rising from a small noble to a first-class noble concubine, but now... But now, she could only respectfully thank her, no. Dare to show the slightest bit of resentment.
"There are also those slaves." The emperor said coldly, "They will all be killed if they pass on my will. As for the third prince's escort..." He turned to look at the queen, his voice softened, and he said, "Please give me more, queen." For taking the trouble, the current people should tell them to go back."
"I obey my orders."
Han Lingfu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He had not yet opened a palace and could only live in the palace. It was not easy to cultivate a few confidants. But now, the emperor cut off all his right and left arms with just one word.
He has always concealed the secret affair very well. He would reveal it at this time and say it was accidental. He would never believe it. Someone must have done something behind his back. Han Lingfu immediately thought of the Queen. He thought he had a well-planned plan, but he didn't expect that not only did he fail to get rid of the sick man, but he was also targeted by the Queen.
The queen looked down at the two people kneeling below. This time she could be considered a great victory, but it was far from worth the suffering Xiao Wu suffered.
The emperor stood up and said: "Go to the Queen's Fengluan Hall."
"Your Majesty, take off!"
In the eunuch's sharp voice, the emperor and the queen left Jingyang Palace together.
The harem was originally a place for rumors. Naturally, what happened in Jingyang Palace could not be hidden from so many eyes. However, in less than an hour, the news that the imperial concubine was demoted to a concubine and the third prince was punished to shut up and reflect on his mistakes spread throughout the world. Every corner of the palace naturally reached Nangong Yue's ears.
Nangong Yue naturally felt quite happy knowing that Han Lingfu and her son were punished.
On the surface, Han Lingfu was only banned for three months, but in fact, his losses were more than that. The income of private salt cannot be summarized by a simple number. It needs to be used in all aspects of seizing the throne. There is a lot of money, including raising dead soldiers, cultivating confidants, winning over ministers, deploying people... Money is needed everywhere. Without the biggest private income, private salt, Nangong Yue was very curious, how would he take the road to become the legitimate heir in this life?
The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth raised, and two shallow pear dimples appeared on the sides of her cheeks.
Until this moment, Nangong Yue knew what it meant to outwit a demon. Guan Yubai can be said to know everything from one thing to another, and everything went as he originally planned... However, for the queen, it was only because her nephew accidentally saved a person that the truth was revealed. He found out about the third prince's smuggling of salt.
After the matter was settled, Nangong Yue devoted herself to recuperating the fifth prince's body, hoping that he could live healthier.
Day by day, unknowingly, Nangong Yue has stayed in the palace for two months. During this time, the fetal poison lingering deep in the bones and blood of the fifth prince slowly faded away... Just as Nangong Yue expected In that way, her method of fighting fire with fire was dangerous, but it did work.
With just a few more months of recuperation, the fifth prince no longer has to drink any messy tonics all day long, and he can jump around like a normal child, healthy and full of energy.
When Nangong Yue told the queen the news, the queen cried with joy and could hardly believe her ears. She asked repeatedly: "Girl Yue, is what you said true? Can the emperor really recover completely?"
"Yes, Queen." Nangong Yue nodded affirmatively, "As long as His Highness the Fifth Prince takes good care of himself for another half a year, he will be no different from ordinary people."
"Okay, okay." The queen grabbed Nangong Yue's hand, almost speechless with excitement. Once, she thought that her child would not live to grow up. Once, she thought that she would lose her child soon... But now, everything has changed! Not only Huang Er's fate has changed, but also her own!
After a long time, the queen calmed down and solemnly saluted Nangong Yue: "Girl Yue, please accept my bow." This time, she did not call herself this palace. This was a mother's gratitude to her son's savior. The gift.
Nangong Yue turned sideways to avoid the Empress’s gift and said: “This is what a minister should do. I cannot bear the Queen’s great gift.”
The queen is even more satisfied with Nangong Yue, who understands etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat. She is like this at a young age, and her future future will be limitless.
Nangong Yue took care of the fifth prince for a few more days, and after making sure that there was no problem with the fifth prince's health, she made a request to the queen to leave the palace at the right time.
Although the queen was reluctant to give up, she thought that the fifth prince was now well off and it was unjustifiable to keep Nangong Yue in the palace any longer, so she gave a large number of rewards and sent Xueqin and Nanny Wen to **** Nangong Yue out of the palace in person.
Looking at Nangong Yue's retreating back, the queen felt lost in her heart, and said to Nanny Li beside her: "Nanny Li, just a few external gifts are really not enough to express my gratitude to Yue. Do you think there is anything else that can be given as a reward?"
Nanny Li pondered for a moment and suggested: "I heard that although Miss Nangong is the legitimate daughter of the Nangong Mansion, her father is not the eldest son, and his official position is low. Besides her mother, there is only one mentally defective child. My legitimate son, I'm afraid that life in Nangong Mansion will not be very easy. If the empress wants to help her, why not start from this aspect!"
The queen looked thoughtful and had an idea in her mind. After she redressed, she went to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor...
