Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 80 The Sacrifice Rebellion

"Ah..." The surprised voices of civil and military officials standing under the Temple of Heaven gradually rang out, spreading like a tide, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the queen above the Temple of Heaven.

Emperor Ning was saluting, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard the increasingly noisy voices. He turned around, but saw that everyone was looking at him and the queen, and some people started pointing, and Emperor Ning followed those people's pointers. Looking in the direction she was looking, it was the queen. It's just that the queen...

The queen's complexion was a little pale. Although it was already winter, there were beads of sweat rolling down the queen's forehead. Everything else looked the same, but the civil and military officials were so far away from them, so they must not be able to see the queen. Sweating profusely, then, what are they looking at?

Emperor Ning wanted to continue the sacrifice, but he heard a civil official with a white beard kneeling down under the Temple of Heaven. Emperor Ning recognized it from a distance. It should be an academician of Hanlin Academy. Emperor Ning heard his anxious voice passing Come, "It's God's punishment, God's punishment."

Emperor Ning was bewildered for a moment, and he could no longer care about the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. He walked behind the queen in two steps, but saw that the back of her black dress seemed to be soaked by water, showing a different color. But it is a big "fierce" character.

Seeing this, Emperor Ning suddenly took two steps back, his complexion turned pale instantly.

The Empress didn't know, but she just felt that the robe was too thick and it made her uncomfortable to cover it. There were eight layers of the robe, one layer after another, which was very complicated. It is very tiring to walk around and kneel to sacrifice to heaven. In the past, the empress always ordered the seventh floor of the Shangyi Bureau to use the lightest brocade, and the outermost fabric to be slightly more solemn. , but it is made of the heaviest fabric, and every step I take is very difficult, and with a phoenix crown weighing more than ten kilograms on my head, it is really a bit strenuous.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" The Queen was a little puzzled when she saw Emperor Ning showing such a dark color, but when she turned her head, she found that when she was tangled in her clothes, the people below were pointing at her for some reason. point.

The queen looked at Xiuxin who was standing next to the steps below the Temple of Heaven, but saw her anxious face. Seeing that the queen finally looked over, she quickly pointed to behind her. Then the queen realized that something must have happened behind her. Seeing Ning The expressions of the emperor and everyone should be very serious. The queen couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took off the outermost layer of her robe, and saw the very abrupt word "fierce" on the back.

The queen was startled, and quickly threw away the robe, and took a few steps back, but accidentally bumped into the tablet behind her, and the tablet immediately fell down.

"Your majesty..." The queen's face was full of panic, but she tried her best to calm down her emotions, and hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of Emperor Ning's robe and said, "Your majesty, someone must have framed my concubine, Your majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines..."

Emperor Ning frowned, and flirted with Director Zheng who was beside him. Director Zheng waved his hand quickly, and a few eunuchs came up to help the queen down.

Emperor Ning saw that everyone seemed to be still talking about it, and thought in his heart that if this matter was spread, people's hearts would definitely be disturbed, and these people's mouths must be silenced. Emperor Ning turned his head and said a few words to General Manager Zheng, and then General Manager Zheng hurriedly walked to the side of the Temple of Heaven and said, "Talking about today's matter is prohibited. If you find out, you will punish the Nine Clans."

The civil and military officials and concubines in the harem quickly shut their mouths and stayed in place quietly. Director Zheng hurried down from the Temple of Heaven again and said a word to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu nodded upon hearing the words , the maid behind her left, but when it was time for a cup of tea, the maid came over with a tray in her hand. Concubine Shu took a black dress from the tray, but it was made according to the appearance of the dress, Concubine Shu He hurriedly put on his robe, and followed Mr. Zheng to the Temple of Heaven.

"The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, continue." Director Zheng's chorus sounded, and on the Temple of Heaven, Emperor Ning and Concubine Shu walked together according to the rules, as if nothing had happened just now.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Yun Chang followed the concubines to the harem. As soon as she reached the gate of the imperial garden, she saw the angry queen standing at the door. When she saw everyone approaching, her gaze was like a knife. Staring at Concubine Shu, before everyone could react, the queen rushed over and threw Concubine Shu to the ground.

"Shen Shuyun, I have never been sorry for you. These years, even if you are deeply loved by the emperor, I have never done anything to you. I have already given you the seal of the queen. Why are you so cruel? Secretly use these schemes to frame me!" Although the queen was extremely angry, she spoke in a calm tone.

The others took a few steps back again and again, for fear of being implicated, Yun Shang yelled quickly when she saw this, "Why are you all watching here, why don't you hurry up and separate the queen mother and concubine Shu..."

But no one dared to step forward.

When everyone was standing in silence, watching the two women with the highest status in the harem rolling and fighting on the ground, Yunshang suddenly heard the cry of a cuckoo from a distance, Yunshang hooked the corner of her mouth , but with an anxious expression on his face, "Why are you still standing there, the queen mother is still pregnant, if something happens to the dragon's heir in the mother's womb, none of you can bear the responsibility!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone reacted abruptly. They wanted to step forward, but they didn't know where to start.

At this moment, an angry voice came from behind, "What are you doing here?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Emperor Ning coming over with a few attendants. The queen on the ground narrowed her eyes when she heard Emperor Ning's voice, and hugged Concubine Shu, but with the posture of Concubine Shu on top and her on the bottom, He fell violently to the ground.

Concubine Shu was furious, and stretched out her hand to grab the queen's neck.

Emperor Ning only saw Concubine Shu throw the queen to the ground, and stretched out her hand to grab the queen's neck. Although Emperor Ning was very angry with the empress for what happened on the Temple of Heaven today, seeing Concubine Shu's actions, he couldn't help but angrily reprimanded, "Concubine Shu, what are you doing?

Before Concubine Shu could react, someone screamed, "Ah, blood..."

Blood? Everyone looked around quickly and saw a smear of blood oozing from the queen's body, staining the clothes under the queen's body red.

"Quick, quick, quick... pass on the imperial physician..." Yun Shang shouted loudly, and Emperor Ning also reacted, ignoring other things, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the queen, and hurried towards Qiwu Palace ran.

After entering Qiwu Palace, Emperor Ning put the Queen on the bed, and the Queen frowned slightly, as if in great pain, "Your Majesty, child, child, my concubine's child, Your Majesty, you have to save my concubine's child!" .”

Emperor Ning remained silent, stood up, and paced back and forth in the hall, "Where's the imperial doctor? Why haven't you come yet?"

Director Zheng hurriedly urged back and forth, and after a while, an old man with white hair and white beard came in, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician, the imperial physician is here."

The queen raised her eyes, but her eyes widened suddenly. She hurriedly searched for Xiuxin in the crowd, but she saw Xiuxin in a corner, shaking her head anxiously at herself.

The Queen quickly said, "No, no, Your Majesty, the concubine should not be seen by the imperial physician, the concubine's child is fine, and the concubine is fine."

When Emperor Ning heard the words, he turned his head and said sharply, "Why are you so crazy, why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look?"

The Queen shook her head again and again, "The concubine was always seen by Imperial Physician Chen, he knew the situation of the concubine best, and the concubine asked Imperial Physician Chen to come and see the concubine."

Emperor Ning's brows furrowed deeper, seeing the Queen's abnormal situation today, he was a little displeased, turned around and said to the attendants behind him, "Hold the Queen down, and let the imperial doctor see you."

The two attendants hurried forward to hold the queen down. Seeing this, the imperial physician stepped forward tremblingly and put his hand on the queen's hand. After a long while, there was a look of hesitation on his face. Turning around, she suddenly fell to her knees, "Your Majesty, my humble minister is ignorant. Judging from the pulse, the empress is not pregnant..."

The queen's face turned pale in an instant, as if her soul had been sucked out, and she fell on the bed. Emperor Ning didn't react for a while, "What, you mean the child is gone?"

The old doctor shook his head, "No, it's the empress's pulse that shows that the empress has never been pregnant from the beginning to the end, so there is no child lost at all?"

Only then did Emperor Ning understand what the old imperial doctor meant, "You mean, the queen is not pregnant at all?"

Before the imperial physician responded, he heard the Queen's cold voice, "Nonsense, Imperial Physician Chen clearly said that I am pregnant, and that I have been addicted to acid recently, so it must be a son, but you said that I am not pregnant? I know Well, it must be Concubine Shu who gave you some benefits to let you slander me like this, come, someone, pull this old man out with a stick and beat him to death."

"I'm still here, when will I get you to talk, come and invite all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital." Emperor Ning said coldly.

The queen was pale, and when she heard Emperor Ning's words, she added another sentence, "We must invite Imperial Physician Chen here. He told me that I was pregnant. Let him tell me who is here." nonsense."

The attendants hurried out of the inner hall, the queen closed her eyes, her mind went blank.

After a while, there was the sound of messy footsteps outside, the door curtain was lifted, and several imperial physicians walked in. The attendant walked up to Emperor Ning and said, "Your Majesty, all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have been brought here, just, just This slave really didn't see the Imperial Physician Chen mentioned by the empress."

"How is it possible?" The queen finally understood slowly, she seemed to have slipped into a trap set up by others, but the person who set up the trap was really too clever and calculated everything about her.

"Take the queen's pulse one by one." Emperor Ning ignored the queen's words and ordered coldly.

The several imperial physicians looked at each other, went to the bed one by one to take the queen's pulse, and then stood silently aside, after about a quarter of an hour, all the imperial physicians took the pulse.

"How?" Ning Di asked.

Several imperial physicians looked at each other, and then saluted one after another, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are not skilled in medicine. It is really hard to see that the empress is pregnant or aborted. Empress Empress, she is not pregnant."

When Emperor Ning heard the words, he felt as if he had heard some Arabian Nights. He laughed for a long time, but suddenly stopped, and snorted coldly, "It seems that I have ignored the matter of the harem for a long time. , this harem is really messy, and even I, the ninth-five-year-old, was played around like a monkey." After speaking, he turned his head to look at the bewildered queen, and left the inner hall with a flick of his sleeve.

Yun Chang has been following Emperor Ning all the time. At this moment, the play is basically over, so he stood up, followed Emperor Ning, and walked out of the main hall. As soon as he walked out of the main hall, he ran into someone who was walking this way. Concubine Jin.

Emperor Ning paused, and stood there waiting for Concubine Jin to come over. Xu Shi received too much stimulation today, and his expression was not very good, "Why are you here?"

Concubine Jin supported Wei Wei's swollen belly, looked into the hall with some concern, and then said softly, "I just came back from the Temple of Heaven, and I feel a little unwell, so I asked people to prepare for it early. I came back first, just now I heard from the palace people that something happened to the empress, and that I saw many imperial doctors coming here, I was a little worried, so I came over to have a look."

Emperor Ning was stunned, raised his hand to touch Concubine Jin's swollen belly, and after a while, said, "It's nothing, you are a double body now, don't always go out in such short clothes, it's not good to catch a cold. Son, take your mother and concubine back to the palace."

Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, then hurried out, took two steps forward to support Concubine Jin, and said respectfully, "Concubine Mother, I will send you back to the palace."

Concubine Jin nodded, turned around with some hesitation, but kept turning her head to look at Emperor Ning, and after a while, she followed Yunshang back to the side hall. This is the first time Yunshang walked into Concubine Jin's side hall in Qiwu Palace. Although the side hall is less prosperous than the main hall, everything is very exquisite. It took a lot of effort to come to Emperor Ning effort.

Yun Chang helped Concubine Jin to sit down on the chair, then looked around, and sat down opposite Concubine Jin.

"You did what happened today?" Concubine Jin smiled slightly and said softly.

Yunshang knew that since Concubine Jin dared to talk about this matter here, it meant that it was still safe here, so she relaxed and said with a smile, "Concubine Mother is still smart, and it was Shang'er who did the right thing."

"How is the queen?" Concubine Jin lowered her head, put her hands on her waist and smiled.

Yun Chang pursed her lips and said, "Of course there is nothing serious about her body, but she will probably lose her father's trust forever."

Concubine Jin smiled slightly, "She has always been a person who likes to take risks, but it seems that the sky does not always favor her, but this time, she has been planted in the hands of you, a little fox. However, you You have to clean up the rest, don't let her find out, she is angry now, that's why she thinks it's Concubine Shu, wait for her to calm down and think about it carefully, then she will know something is wrong."

Yun Chang hooked the corners of her mouth, and smiled like a cat that stole the fish, "Mother and concubine, don't worry, the daughter has been arranged."

Concubine Jin nodded and remained silent.

Yunshang stood up, walked towards Concubine Jin, squatted down in front of her, raised her hand to touch her stomach, and said with a smile, "Concubine Mu, tell me, is this a younger sister or a younger brother?"

Concubine Jin laughed when she heard the words, "How do I know now, but ah, I wish it was a boy. Boy, I can protect you. You have worked so hard."

Yun Shang shook her head, "Shang'er is not hard at all."

Yun Chang lowered her head, put her face on Concubine Jin's stomach and listened for a while, but her eyes were slightly moist. In her previous life, she had never felt such emotions, but now she suddenly felt that it was great that someone cared about her. .

After a while, Yun Chang stood up and said with a smile, "The matter of the queen has come to an end. My daughter knows that with the power of the Li family, the father will definitely not take down Li Yiran's position as queen, at least for now." No. However, in a short period of time, the queen should not pose any threat to the mother, and the daughter has sent some people to protect the concubine mother, so the concubine mother can rest assured. Hua Jing went to the border, this is a good opportunity, I don't want to let it go, maybe in a few days I will try my best to leave the palace and go to the border, my daughter will definitely come back before the concubine mother gives birth, and the concubine mother doesn't have to worry about Chang'er."

Concubine Jin was slightly stunned, lowered her head and remained silent for a while, before she nodded and said, "You have always been an assertive person, and now I see you acting, I am also relieved, but, my daughter, Concubine Mother can't bear to let you be blinded by hatred. Eyes, mother concubine hopes to have a man who can give you happiness."

When Yun Chang heard the words, she paused for a moment before answering, "Okay, Chang'er will work hard."

The two talked for a while before Yunshang returned to Qingxin Palace. Qinyi and Qianyin didn't follow Yunshang to Qiwu Palace before, so they didn't know what happened, but the farce at the gate of the imperial garden has been exhausted. As we all know, the two of them were naturally very curious about what happened afterwards. As soon as they saw Yunshang coming back, they hurriedly surrounded her and said in a hurry, "Princess, princess, what happened afterwards? Did the emperor find out that the queen was pretending to be pregnant?" something wrong?"

Yun Shang told the two of them about the matter, and they were greatly relieved.

It's just that Qianyin doesn't understand, "Princess, the people we sent finally got access to the robe, why didn't the princess just put deadly poison on the robe and let the poisonous queen die directly, but thought of such a tortuous way?" How to get around."

Yun Chang smiled, with a bit of contemplation between her brows, yes, why, she could have taken that woman's life directly, but spared her life, one was because she wanted to watch her fall from the clouds step by step, Losing her most cherished thing and killing her in one move is really too cheap for that woman. The other reason is that if the Empress dies in such an unexplained manner, the Li family will definitely be in chaos. At that time, the Ning country may be in chaos, and, even after half a year, the Li family will be of great use.

It's just that all this is because I have experienced it in my previous life, but it is impossible to explain it to Qin Yi and Qian Yin. Seeing that Yun Shang looked strange, Qin Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be too cheap for her to let the queen die like this?"

Qianyin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Yeah, it's too cheap for her. I'm really happy today, but I don't know what happened to Concubine Shu, but I think about it, concubine Shu and the queen are so similar. Nao, this harem is really going to be messed up."\u003c
