Chapter 125: Sun Disaster 3
Concubine Ning obviously came prepared.
Wei Zhengde was speechless after just a few words.
Song Zhao watched as Wei Zhengde's eyes flickered and he would occasionally glance at the queen.
But the Queen didn't even look at him, as if she was afraid that a glance would make others think that there was some unspeakable secret between them.
When the play reached its climax, Xiao Jingheng arrived.
"The Emperor has arrived~"
The Queen stood up and brought all the concubines to greet Xiao Jingheng.
Xiao Jingheng walked straight towards the phoenix throne on the high platform without looking around.
When he passed by Concubine Ning, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.
Just one glance, and my eyes became red.
So she pursed her lips, blinked hard, and forced back the tears. She then resumed her usual pride and didn't want anyone to see her vulnerable side.
Xiao Jingheng personally helped the queen up, and then ordered all the concubines to stand up without any formalities.
Yan Jiude brought a chair and placed it on the second seat of the phoenix throne.
Xiao Jingheng sat down with the queen, holding her hand and asking with concern: "How are you? Are you feeling better today?"
The queen smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
"That's good." Xiao Jingheng nodded slightly, then his eyes swept down the hall, landing on the two obvious slap marks on Wei Zhengde's face.
He asked, "Wei Qingjia, what's wrong with you?"
Just as Wei Zhengde was about to reply, Concubine Ning stepped forward and said before him, "Your Majesty, please listen carefully to what Wei Jianzheng said. He said that I am a disaster star and a demon concubine!"
She vomited a breath, looked at Xiao Jingheng stubbornly and aggrievedly, and said self-deprecatingly: "After hearing the reasons, Your Majesty will have his own judgment on the right and wrong. If Your Majesty also thinks that I am a disaster star, I don't think there is any need to confine me. Just banish me to the cold palace and give me a white silk. It will save me from being sad."
Xiao Jingheng frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Concubine Ning snorted proudly, then glanced at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty should ask Wei Jianzheng what nonsense he said! He took the fake birth date and time that I gave to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said with certainty that I am a disaster! Your Majesty is the only one who knows my real birth date and time. Why don't you ask Wei Jianzheng how he came up with this astrological divination!"
Concubine Ning questioned Wei Zhengde in every word, but her sharp eyes never left the Queen from beginning to end.
The Queen was not intimidated at all, and followed Concubine Ning's words and asked, "Zhengzheng Wei, I also want to know, what is going on?"
Wei Zhengde bowed and said solemnly, "The stars show the will of heaven, not my own nonsense. The Tianyang star is indeed colliding with the Tianfu star, which will cause disasters. It will be bad for the empress and the heir to the throne."
Concubine Ning sneered, "Then who did you figure out? You also said that this person did not meet the Queen during the six palaces' worship ceremony yesterday. In the whole palace, only I and Concubine Song did not go yesterday. You said it was not Concubine Song, and you also said it was not me, this is strange......
Could it be that there is a sister in this palace who has been hidden by the emperor and has not yet met us?"
Concubine Ning's words became more and more outrageous. At this time under normal circumstances, no matter how much Xiao Jingheng spoiled her, he would inevitably scold her.
But today, Jamel Xiao just let her do as she pleased without saying a word.
Obviously, he also wanted to know what the secret was.
The Queen glanced sideways and saw that Xiao Jingheng's face had turned gloomy, so she immediately said:
"Wei Jianzheng, the safety of the royal heir is related to the fate of the country. You should calculate it carefully and don't dare to make any mistakes."
Wei Zhengde pinched his beard and counted his fingers, mumbling something in his mouth.
After a long while, he said, "If you are not born under the fire sign, then it can only be that your names conflict. I wonder if you can tell me the names of Concubine Ning and Noble Lady Song?"
The maiden names of the women in the harem cannot be revealed.
Therefore, we only know the surnames and titles of officials of the previous dynasty, but not their real names.
Concubine Ning and Song Zhao looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Xiao Jingheng.
He was silent for a while before saying:
"Concubine Ning's name is Wanshuang, while Concubine Song's name is simply Zhao."
Wei Zhengde was shocked when he heard this and immediately asked,
"But the Zhao in the clear sky?"
Song Zhao's heart tightened, and he felt something was wrong, but he could only respond.
"Exactly."
Wei Zhengde immediately bowed to Xiao Jingheng and said, "Your Majesty! It's the day of the rising sun. It turns out that the problem lies with Concubine Song's name..."
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Song Zhao.
Song Zhao's hands fell to his sides and clasped together slightly, showing a panic-stricken look.
But in fact, she knows better than anyone:
The queen's thoughts are really thoughtful.
She had already thought of a foolproof plan.
Concubine Ning was domineering and jealous. The Queen was afraid that she would have intentions towards the emperor she was expecting, so she set up a trap to trap Concubine Ning.
But if there were any mistakes, she had also thought of a way to remedy them.
That is to let the people from the Imperial Observatory put the hat of an unlucky person on Song Zhao's head.
Anyway, Song Zhao is now in great favor.
The queen is pregnant and cannot sleep with the emperor. If Song Zhao can be trapped, it will also be a good opportunity to end her favor.
After all, Concubine Ning’s birthday may be fake, but Song Zhao’s name can’t be fake, right?
This move is to take the initiative, but to be taken later is also to be taken by others.
What a good plan!
The whole palace was silent for a while, and then the queen sighed:
"It turned out to be Concubine Song? A while ago, Concubine Song learned that I was pregnant. She served me every day and took care of me meticulously. She also chatted with me and made me laugh. She was very close to me. How could she be the disaster star of the sun? Wei Jianzheng, you have miscalculated?"
After hearing what the Queen said, Wei Zhengde became even more certain:
"Your Majesty, what the Queen said is exactly what the celestial phenomena show. It is precisely because Concubine Song has been accompanying you these days, and although she has a pure heart, her astrological fate has conflicted with yours recently, so yesterday's disaster happened!"
What else can Song Zhao say at this moment?
She did nothing wrong and she didn't need to explain herself.
She could only look into Xiao Jingheng's eyes and see how he would handle the matter.
After looking at Song Zhao, Xiao Jingheng's eyes gradually darkened.
He looked at Wei Zhengde dimly and asked, "If Concubine Song's horoscope really conflicts with the Queen, how should we deal with this matter?"
Wei Zhengde said, "This is not difficult. We only need to confine Concubine Song until the Empress gives birth safely, and the orbit of the Tianyang star changes so that it no longer conflicts with the Tianfu star, then we can lift the ban."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jingheng didn't respond, but Concubine Ning got angry again.
She glared at Wei Zhengde, her anger about to burst out of her head.
"You are talking nonsense. Are you treating us like fools?"
She approached Wei Zhengde and said fiercely, gnashing her teeth in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"I will give you one last chance. Tell His Majesty honestly who ordered you to tell such nonsense! Otherwise, I will tear your mouth apart!"
