Chapter 32 She could actually hear her granddaughter’s thoughts
Shu Fei seemed to have seen a savior. She broke away from the palace maid who had ordered her to stop and rushed towards the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother was startled, and the nanny beside her rushed forward to support Concubine Shu.
After catching the person, she complained, "My Lady Concubine Shu, you are still pregnant with your baby! You can't do such a dangerous thing."
Concubine Shu grabbed the Queen Mother's sleeve and said, "Queen Mother, you must help me."
"We know we were wrong and will never dare to kill the princess again."
"Please ask the Emperor to let my mother go this time!"
The Queen Mother straightened her up and asked the Emperor, "Didn't they say that Concubine Fang harmed the princess?"
The emperor explained: "Your news is delayed. It's Concubine Shu's fault."
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Shu's belly and said, "That's right. We have to wait until the baby is born before we can do anything about it."
"Otherwise it will affect the health of the heir to the throne..."
The emperor objected: "Your eldest granddaughter was poisoned, which also affects her health."
"The Concubine Shu is less than two months pregnant and yet she caused such a big incident. There are still seven months left."
"If nothing is done to encourage ambition, I really can't imagine what kind of trouble will arise in the future."
The emperor raised his eyes slightly, and his voice was inarticulate: "If human desires are not restricted, they will only grow bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to satisfy them."
"You taught me all this, mother. Have you forgotten?"
The Queen Mother was stunned, as if she was lost in some memory.
Concubine Shu shook her head hurriedly: "No, I dare not, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked away coldly and said, "I only trust myself. I am relieved when I lock you up and make sure you don't have the ability to cause trouble."
"The princess is still young and weak. I don't want her to experience the pain of losing a child again."
The Empress Dowager was brought back to reality by Concubine Shu's pleading and she sighed.
No matter what, protecting the royal heir is the most important thing now.
Seeing that the emperor was determined to punish her, the empress dowager protected Concubine Shu behind her.
"If something happens to the baby in Concubine Shu's belly, Your Majesty will not feel the pain of losing a child?"
The emperor wanted to say that the condition was not that serious, that the embryo he had never seen before was different from the daughter he had carefully cared for for two months.
But the Queen Mother did not give him a chance.
"I am here today, let's see who dares to touch Concubine Shu."
The Queen Mother was very direct, but the Emperor was not afraid.
There wasn't much affection between him and the Queen Mother, and he usually acted like a loving mother and a filial son to demonstrate his filial piety.
When the two agree, they listen to the Queen Mother; when they disagree, they listen to him.
He immediately prepared to have someone drive the Queen Mother aside.
At this time, Bei Jingchu's voice was heard:
[I'm so hungry~ Have you guys finished arguing? Is it time for me to drink milk? Babies can't be hungry, you know? ]
The humming of the baby attracted the queen mother, and she looked in the direction of the cradle.
Because it was placed next to the dragon chair and too high, she couldn't see the child, only a piece of bright red clothing.
The emperor carried Bei Jingchu out and handed her to Eunuch Jiang: "Take the princess downstairs to feed her."
When Bei Jing first saw someone looking at her, she smiled subconsciously, which was particularly cute.
The Empress Dowager had a granddaughter for the first time, and she was so cute that her face was bleeding.
It was one thing to hear that a princess was born, and quite another to actually see her.
Seeing the baby's fair and chubby face, the blood ties in her heart were suddenly ignited.
Looking at Concubine Shu and the others, their faces suddenly became hideous.
But we can’t just ignore the child we’re still carrying, right?
After all, there is a 50% chance that it is a prince. The emperor has been in his twenties for two years and still has no heir.
The Queen Mother looked at Bei Jingchu again.
Ah~ so cute.
"It is indeed abominable to plot against the princess. The emperor should handle it himself."
After she finished speaking, she walked over and snatched Bei Jingchu from Eunuch Jiang's hands.
"Oh my dear, I am your great mother. Do you know her?"
emperor:?
Concubine Shu:?
Bei Jingchu: [What is 大母? Does it mean grandmother?]
A voice from her inner thoughts reached the Queen Mother's ears. She was stunned for a moment, thinking she was hallucinating.
Then another one: [Why are you still standing there? I'm hungry, come and take me to drink milk! ]
【Grandmother, you are going to starve your granddaughter.】
Queen Mother: …
The Queen Mother began to doubt this world, and she carried Bei Jingchu to the side hall in a daze.
She could actually hear her granddaughter's thoughts? This child and she are so destined, right?
The Empress Dowager was sent away, and there was no one to cause trouble for the Emperor, so he simply had Concubine Shu locked up in his own bedroom.
After Concubine Shu was kidnapped, Madam Yang knew that her punishment was about to come.
But the emperor was too lazy to argue with her and directly had her taken to the Dali Temple.
Bei Jingchu, who had just finished eating and drinking, was very dissatisfied when she heard that the two were just locked up:
[Damn it, I almost fainted. These two people were just locked up? And they were given free food and accommodation? ]
[I @￥R%^F%RF beep beep beep beep beep——]
Because the curse was too foul, it was undone and the emperor did not hear the details.
But from the clear and distinct words like "tyrant", "incompetent ruler" and "dog emperor" interspersed in the middle, it can be heard that the little guy is very angry.
But the emperor felt aggrieved, and he was not ready to let it go easily. He just didn't say it, and he was already writing the imperial edict.
well……
The emperor had no choice but to ask Yu's former attendant to write for him and read it aloud for the young man to hear.
"Shufei, demoted to a concubine, executed after giving birth. The Yang family, exterminated the entire clan."
After listening to this, Bei Jingchu realized that she had misunderstood her cheap father. When he looked at her, she gave him a flattering smile and made a heart shape with her hands.
But...
[Isn't it too cruel to exterminate the entire clan? It was only Concubine Shu and Madam Yang who did it. The rest of their family was wronged.]
【While a man sits at home, sin comes from heaven. 】
The emperor didn't think much of it, thinking that it was a good thing for children to be innocent and kind.
She will understand when she grows up.
Madam Yang and Concubine Shu's motive was to protect the royal heir.
If a prince is born, he will be the eldest prince, and the concubine will be made queen.
If the child grows up and successfully inherits the throne, the Yang family will enjoy great honor.
Those who are implicated are implicated.
But if it succeeds, they will also be the beneficiaries. This is the family, and no one is innocent.
After a few days of peace, it was time for the Kong family to be exiled.
Doctor Kong was executed for corruption, and Kong Lao Da was also dismissed from his official position for being implicated.
The whole family was sentenced to exile to a bitter and cold place.
Xu Xinshu asked the emperor for permission: "Today is the day when the Kong family is leaving, and I want to see them off."
