Chapter 312: Sadistic Love, Deep Love for Your Sister (Seventeen)
"Mother is right! Our Huo family has always been loyal and sincere to His Majesty."
Uncle Huo said with a smile, "The Huo family also acts in an upright manner and will never deceive His Majesty!"
The memorial must be submitted, and it must be done openly and with great fanfare! As a result, Emperor Qing in the palace and the people of the capital soon learned the news -
The young girl from the Huo family returned to her hometown to celebrate the birthday of her clan elder. On the way back to Beijing, she kindly saved a young man who was suffering from amnesia.
The young man had an unparalleled appearance and a noble temperament, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.
Miss Huo is indeed a kind-hearted woman who believes in "doing good things to the end and sending Buddha to the west", so she helps the young man find his family.
After searching for a long time, they found that the situation of this young man was quite similar to that of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince is a noble son of the royal family and he cannot be treated with any disrespect.
Even if it is just "suspected", it should be treated with caution.
The Huo family has always been loyal to Emperor Qing, and they dare not act on their own, so they report to the emperor immediately...
Emperor Qing: ...
Emperor Qing was so moved that he smashed the cup next to him.
In fact, at this time, Emperor Qing had already received the news sent back by the Feng Dynasty delegation.
When Emperor Qing first saw the "bad news", he was sad.
As mentioned before, although Emperor Qing attaches more importance to his own rights and interests, he also has a loving affection for the princes.
They are all my own flesh and blood, my own children, not picked up.
His son fell off a cliff by accident, and no one could find him alive or dead. As a father, how could he not feel distressed and sad? However, before he could get over the stress and think about how to appease Concubine Dong, Uncle Huo's memorial came.
Broken leg?
Forget the past? None of this is important. What is important is that this little bastard actually returned to Qing Dynasty on his own initiative!
The fatherly kindness, which was already limited, was instantly replaced by the suspicion and cruelty that only belong to a king.
Emperor Qing instinctively started to speculate on conspiracy theories——
A broken leg might be true, after all, he fell from such a high cliff.
But Emperor Qing had doubts about amnesia.
Forgot everything? Didn't even know his last name? How is this possible?
"It's clearly that little bastard's plan! He doesn't want to go to Feng Dynasty, but he's afraid that he'll be reprimanded by me if he returns to Qing Dynasty rashly, so he pretends to be crazy and stupid!"
All emperors have dirty hearts.
For those who have a dirty heart, everything they see is dirty.
Emperor Qing didn't even need to look for examples, as there were records in history books of deliberate disguises to deceive the world.
What's the big deal about forgetting memories? Humph, the King of Yue was willing to lick even the feces in order to gain the trust of the King of Wu! "It's fine if he just pretends to be crazy, but he actually went to the Huo family!"
Emperor Qing became suspicious and actually regarded everything as a conspiracy.
What an unexpected encounter.
What the girl from the Huo family is kind-hearted at the moment.
Emperor Qing didn't believe a word of it.
How can there be so many accidents in this world?
How "arrogant" are the noble ladies of the aristocratic families? How could they easily save a strange man for no reason? If the Ninth Prince came back alone, Emperor Qing would be angry, but he would not think of him as too sinister.
After all, it was an "accidental" fall off the cliff, and he might have almost died.
It is natural for a precious little prince to feel fear and turn back when he suddenly suffers such hardship.
But now the Huo family is involved.
Two hundred thousand border troops! The Huo family father and son are all good at leading troops and fighting.
It seems reasonable that Emperor Qing would think too much and come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories.
However, Huo still acted like a "loyal minister" and deliberately submitted a memorial in front of all the civil and military officials at the grand court meeting.
Emperor Qing wanted to get angry, but it seemed inappropriate.
Besides being an emperor, he was also a father.
The ninth prince was no ordinary prince; he was his "beloved son" born to him by his most beloved concubine, Concubine Dong.
Regardless of whether the court officials knew the truth about the beloved son, on the surface, the Ninth Prince was the beloved son.
Emperor Qing has doted on Dong and her son for more than ten years. Now, a man suspected to be the Ninth Prince is injured and has lost his memory. It is reasonable for Emperor Qing to be anxious.
As for the Huo family, as loyal subjects who are suspected of saving the Ninth Prince, Emperor Qing has the dignity of an emperor. He may not regard the Huo family as his saviors, but he cannot regard them as enemies either.
Emperor Qing: ...
Damn!
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt! What was even more frustrating was that he couldn't lose his temper in the previous dynasty, and he couldn't lose his temper even after returning to the harem!
Even if he broke a cup, it was just an accidental slip of the hand, not an act of venting anger.
"Send a few people to pick up the young girl from the Huo family and carefully verify the identity of the young man."
Emperor Qing secretly vented his anger in his heart and quickly adjusted his mood.
He called the leader of the embroidered-robed messengers and asked him to take a few embroidered-robed messengers to "welcome" them.
The commander is the most trusted person of Emperor Qing, so it goes without saying that he is very loyal to him.
Moreover, as the spy chief of the Qing Dynasty, his sharpness and vigilance are also outstanding.
The key is that when it comes to investigation and evidence collection, the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Envoy is professional!
"Yes! I obey your command!"
The commander bowed in response, and when he saw that Emperor Qing had no other instructions, he left quickly to make the arrangements.
As he watched the commander's back disappear, Emperor Qing's eyes became dark.
Suddenly, he asked, "Where is the imperial concubine?"
The matter of the "Ninth Prince" had already become a big deal in the previous dynasty.
The former dynasty and the harem have always had close ties.
Nothing that happens in the court can be hidden from the harem.
The only difference is probably the time.
"The Empress is ill, so she specially asked the Imperial Concubine to 'attend to her'."
The chief eunuch reported cautiously.
"Okay! Got it!"
Emperor Qing was not too surprised to hear such a report.
Obviously, "attending to the sick" was not a rare thing for Concubine Dong.
Although people outside say that Concubine Dong is Emperor Qing's favorite concubine.
She was so popular in the palace that even the queen had to retreat away from her.
But in fact, the queen is the queen, and no matter how "noble" a concubine is, she is just a concubine.
One is the wife and the other is the concubine. The wife is "sick", and as a concubine, Concubine Dong has to serve her.
Oh, by the way, in addition to the queen, there is also a queen mother in the palace.
Both of them were princesses of the Yu Dynasty, and the Queen Mother and the Empress were actually close aunt and niece.
Perhaps it was their miraculous blood relationship, the Empress Dowager and the Queen would always fall ill three to five, six to eight times a year.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Whenever the aunt and niece were sick, they would ask Concubine Dong to take care of them.
After more than ten years, not to mention Emperor Qing, even Concubine Dong has probably gotten "used to it".
"Cough! Cough cough!"
Concubine Dong coughed a few times and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
Her beautiful face looked a little pale at this moment.
She tried hard to hold back a cough, and her slender body was shaking slightly.
"Your Majesty! Your own health is not good, so please don't serve the Queen."
Concubine Dong's trusted maid was holding her arm and accidentally touched her hand, which was cold.
The head maid was worried and inexplicably angry. "Whether the queen is sick or not, we all know it."
Empress Yuan was just jealous, and she took advantage of her status as empress and the Empress Dowager's favoritism to deliberately bully Concubine Dong.
"Stop talking! Stop talking nonsense!"
Concubine Dong finally managed to get through this wave of coughing. She didn't even bother to calm her heavy breathing and turned around to scold: "Are there any more rules?"
"Your Majesty is ill, and as a concubine, I shall go and serve you!"
That’s the rule!
That’s also what she owed to Queen Yuan.
She was born in a humble family, but was deeply loved by Emperor Qing.
He has been honored and favored for more than ten years.
Emperor Qing treats them very well, and Concubine Dong also has to consider Emperor Qing——
Your Majesty has endured too much infamy for her.
The Empress Dowager's anger and sadness, the Queen's grievance and sadness, and the court officials' advice and impeachment.
Your Majesty endured so many hardships for her.
She already has His Majesty's favor, and she cannot make things difficult for His Majesty again.
It was just to attend to an illness, so whether it was the Empress Dowager or the Queen, they could only use some small tricks or make a few words to put pressure on her.
I didn't really dare to call for her to be killed!
Senior Palace Maid: ...It would be better to beat and scold him.
Cutting flesh with a soft knife is the most painful.
This is not just one or two days, one or two years, but more than ten years!
The head palace maid has served Concubine Dong for almost ten years.
When she first came to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine was beautiful and looked like a fairy.
The imperial concubine's health was not as weak as it is now.
Come to think of it, the imperial concubine is not a noble lady from a prominent family; her family is just a small one.
I heard that before the imperial concubine got married, she had to help with housework.
As we all know, people who work regularly are generally in very good health.
After entering the palace, the imperial concubine was given a life of luxury, and she was pampered with servants and maids. After more than ten years of pampering, she became increasingly sick and weak! The head maid thought that the imperial concubine was tortured into this state by the empress dowager, the queen, and the aunt and nephew of the Yuan family.
"But! But your body——"
The head maid was most worried about Concubine Dong's health.
Don’t think that because Concubine Dong acted quickly, the head palace maid didn’t notice.
Her handkerchief was stained with blood!
Woohoo, Concubine Dong is really sick, and her illness is very serious.
But the imperial concubine always keeps it a secret, not only from His Majesty, but also from the Ninth Prince.
In fact, the imperial concubine was already ill when the Ninth Prince left the Qing Dynasty.
But she still held on and pretended to be fine as she sent the Ninth Prince away!
Concubine Dong is so kind. She is either considering His Majesty or the Ninth Prince.
The only thing she refused to feel bad for was herself! "I'm fine!"
Concubine Dong took a deep breath and tried her best to ignore the taste of rust in her mouth.
She is indeed not in good health.
But she couldn't make a scene.
In addition to not wanting to embarrass His Majesty, Concubine Dong also did it for her own son.
Her mother's family was of humble origin and could not help the Ninth Prince at all.
Concubine Dong never dreamed of the supreme throne; she only hoped that her son could be a rich and idle king.
It would be better to go to Feng Dynasty and temporarily avoid the turbulent situation of Qing Dynasty.
If her son could accomplish some merit, His Majesty would recall her son and confer upon him the title of king, taking into consideration her as a dying person.
In this way, the son will be able to live a wealthy life and his descendants will have no worries.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened to the Ninth Prince!"
Just as Concubine Dong was trying to comfort herself, she heard some bad news...
