Chapter 215: Evil Begets Evil
A moment of silence in the bedroom,
First, Yunshan said angrily, "How can this be! I think that Nanny Li is not a good person! Madam, should we tell the Emperor about this?"
Song Zhao remained silent, while Xiao Fuzi pointed out Yunshan.
"What's the point of telling the emperor now? The emperor will at most execute Nanny Li, and Nanny Li will definitely insist that she was careless and will never give out the person behind it. After all, she can do this blatantly, she must have been determined to die."
Yunshan held his chin up and thought for a while, still puzzled:
"But what does she want? She has no life to spend the money. Is someone threatening her with her family's lives? But that doesn't make sense... If anything happens to the queen and the little prince, the emperor will be furious. Not to mention her family, even her nine clans will probably not be able to be saved!"
Xiao Fuzi also said thoughtfully:
"So...someone must have some secret evidence against Nanny Li."
Xiao Fuzi had already figured out the details of the maids who were responsible for delivering Song Zhao today.
He recalled: "I remember that this Li Ma had no children and only a husband at home. More than ten years ago, her husband fell off a cliff while hunting and was paralyzed in bed. It was Li Ma who took care of him all the time." [Midwives are not palace maids. When they are not delivering babies, they can live their own lives outside the palace. This is the setting of this article and has nothing to do with real history.]
Hearing this, Song Zhaojing thought for a moment before saying:
"That's it. No matter if it's a man or a woman, who isn't full of vigor and vitality when they are young? How can she be willing to be a widow at such a young age, since she hasn't lived a saintly life? I think it's likely that she had an affair with some wild man in the past and got pregnant, but she couldn't let it be public."
If Song Zhao's guess is correct, then there is a motive for Nanny Li to risk her life to do this.
If she had an illegitimate child with another man, and someone with ulterior motives knew about it and used it to threaten her,
So, is there anything a mother cannot do to protect her child?
Yunshan said, "Your Highness, do you suspect that she has an illegitimate child with someone else?"
Xiao Fuzi said, "Madame Li could do such a fatal thing. I think she knew early on that there was no turning back. If the matter was exposed, she would die, her husband would die, but the unknown child would survive. I think the queen's speculation is probably the whole picture of the whole matter."
Song Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly,
"The more she wants to protect someone, the more I want the person she cherishes to die without a burial place."
Yunshan asked: "But even if we tell the emperor, if Nanny Li insists that she did it carelessly and there is no one behind it, we can't do anything to her..."
"Who said we should tell His Majesty that she made a mistake?" Song Zhao sneered, "Madame Li is very careful. She discovered that there was something wrong with the scissors and replaced them in time, saving the lives of me and the little prince.
Not only did she not harm me, but she is my great benefactor. I will repay her kindness and will definitely reward her generously. The gold and silver jewelry is just a small gift. I still need to ask the emperor for permission and must ask the emperor to reward her with a position of some official position, which will be perfect. "
If Song Zhao had said this in the past, Yunshan would have been confused and not know what he was talking about.
But now, she saw that Song Zhao and Xiao Fuzi both had smiles on their lips, and she figured it out with just a little thought.
Look at her suddenly clapping her hands, and suddenly realizing:
"If your Majesty rewards her like this, the person behind the scenes will definitely think that Nanny Li said something to your Majesty. That person will definitely be very anxious and eager to kill Nanny Li to silence her! And if Nanny Li fails to accomplish her goal, the person behind the scenes will definitely kill the person that Nanny Li cherishes to vent his anger!"
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled as she stared at Song Zhao, unable to help but exclaim:
"Your Majesty, this plan is really brilliant! You don't even need to do it yourself to wipe out Nanny Li's entire family, and you can also expose the person behind the scenes!"
The brilliant plan that Yunshan mentioned was just a piece of cake for Song Zhao.
She was not pleased with herself, but said calmly:
"Evil will always be punished by evil. The person who instigated Li Ma'am may not be exposed this time, but the person Li Ma'am wants to protect will definitely die in front of her.
And now is different from the past. If anyone dares to plot against my son, I will not care about the injustice, I will kill her whole family, including her parents and children, and I will feel satisfied. "
The next day, the court was on holiday, and Xiao Jingheng rushed to Changle Palace to visit Song Zhao.
The little prince was also brought over by the wet nurse and placed in a cradle, next to his parents.
Xiao Jingheng couldn't let go of this child, and the smile on his face never faded.
At that time,
He held Song Zhao in his arms with one hand and gently stroked the hair of the sleeping little guy with the other hand.
He whispered, "I have chosen a name for our son, which is 'Cheng Yu'. What do you think of it, Zhao'er?"
Cheng means inheritance.
Yu means flame and firewood.
The two words "Chengyu" mean passing on the torch, which shows how much Xiao Jingheng cares about this child.
Since Song Zhao entered the palace, he has been cautious and has dodged countless arrows and arrows to achieve his current status.
After giving birth to a son, she was destined to become the target of public criticism, and it would be useless even if she tried to restrain herself.
Instead of being humble all the time, it is time for her to show her strengths and make others fear her.
So she did not refuse the name, but said:
"The naming has always been decided by my father. I don't understand these things, but I will follow the emperor's arrangements. Chengyu... sounds good."
Xiao Jingheng also smiled and said, "Chengyu is my precious son. If it is not a name with good meaning, I will not give it to him."
Later, Yunshan brought breakfast, and Xiao Jingheng, like a "good husband", fed Song Zhao breakfast with his own hands, and his care and love for her were beyond words.
After finishing breakfast, the two of them were coaxing the child, but Song Zhao suddenly said,
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for your mercy in my heart."
Xiao Jingheng's mind moved, thinking that Song Zhao might be unable to wait and wanted to mention the matter of making her a queen.
He looked at Cheng Yu in the cradle and said calmly, "You go ahead and talk."
"I would like to..."
'Squeak'
Before he could say anything, he saw Xiao Fuzi push the door open and bow inside.
He showed courtesy to the two of them, and then said to Song Zhao:
"My lady, the gift has been delivered. Madam Li is very happy."
"Madame Li?" Xiao Jingheng asked curiously, "She was the one who helped you give birth yesterday? Why did you only give her the reward?"
Song Zhao said: "In fact, during the delivery yesterday, I experienced a dangerous thing. The scissors used to cut the umbilical cord were slightly rusted, and no one else noticed it. Fortunately, Nanny Li noticed it and replaced the scissors in time. If it weren't for Nanny Li, I'm afraid that Chengyu and I would have suffered a dangerous thing..."
Xiao Jingheng frowned slightly, and said with some annoyance: "The people in your palace are not very attentive when doing their work. If you say so, then the nanny should be rewarded well."
"That's right." Song Zhao continued, "So the grace I wanted to ask for from the emperor was originally for Li Ma. I think she is thoughtful and experienced. If she can be given a position, she can stay in the palace to assist pregnant concubines in childbirth, which can also make the emperor feel more at ease."
"......"
Xiao Jingheng's eyes darkened, and he was obviously surprised by what Song Zhao said.
But he did not show any more surprise, and soon calmed down, took Song Zhao's hand, and said with a warm smile:
"Your choice is naturally good. Then reward her with a seventh-rank female official position, and let her serve the concubines during childbirth in the future."
[The last day of the holiday, I went crazy for a while, and today I will update three times. ]
