"The emperor suspects that my concubine instigated Hong'er to hurt Concubine Shun and ruin her face, right?" Jin Xin was heartbroken. It was really ironic to see the emperor protecting Concubine Shun like this.
"Hong'er is young and will definitely not take the initiative to do such a thing, but if he does it, he has done it." The emperor said coldly, without any thought of affection.
"Your Majesty, I didn't do it, and Hong'er would never do it. For someone as big as Concubine Shun, she was injured by a child. Is your Majesty so brainless? If you insist on believing her one-sided words, don't think about it. Concubine Shun." What motive is there to hurt her? No matter how favored she is, will I care about a fake? "
In this way, the emperor's fig leaf was exposed for the first time, and the emperor was very unhappy.
It is true that he can no longer have children, even if he dotes on Concubine Shun, Concubine Shun will not threaten her status. It is true that Concubine Shun was born similar to Concubine Yu. It is also true that he is looking for the feeling of youth in Concubine Shun, but he does not allow the queen to say come out.
"Queen, please pay attention to your attitude."
"I'm just reminding the emperor that someone is trying to instigate the emperor and empress to alienate each other and drive a wedge between the father and son relationship between the emperor and Hong'er. Your Majesty, isn't Hong'er more important than a fake?"
The emperor naturally knows.
However, what Jin Xin just said hurt his self-esteem. He turned around and went out with a sullen face without saying a word.
After the emperor went out, Cuigu came in.
"The emperor went out with a sullen face just now. Did it annoy you?"
"I can't care about that much anymore. Let's go to the imperial study room first and bring Hong'er back!" Jin Xin said anxiously.
It was already evening and the night was cold. Hong'er must have been kneeling stupidly. What a good thing to do if he was sick.
Seeing this, Cuigu hurriedly said, "My slave, go ahead. You are still sick, but don't go to see the wind. It will get worse again."
"If I don't go, this child will definitely not want to get up. The emperor hasn't spoken yet, so he doesn't dare to get up." Jin Xin said helplessly.
The emperor's attitude just now was unclear, but Jin Xin knew that if she wanted to bring the child back, the emperor would not say anything more.
Cuigu had no choice but to put a cloak on her, and the group went to the door of the imperial study.
Seeing Hong'er kneeling with his head bent, stubborn and not wearing much, Jin Xin felt heartbroken.
"Hong'er, why are you so stupid? How long have you been kneeling?" Jin Xin stepped forward and hugged Hong'er, her little hands were cold.
"It won't take long. It won't be a problem if I kneel in the afternoon." Hong'er said with a smile.
Jin Xin took his hand and said, "Go back to the palace with your mother."
Hong'er broke away from her hand, "Mother, I will wait until my father forgives me before leaving, otherwise he will implicate the queen. This is my fault, and I accept the punishment."
At this time, I am still afraid that I will be implicated.
The more sensible he becomes, the more guilt Jin Xin feels because it is her incompetence as a mother.
"Go back to the palace with your mother. Your father has already forgiven you. Otherwise, why would your mother come to take you back?"
Hong'er didn't believe it, "Father, will you blame me? This matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to implicate you."
"It was an accident. It's over." Jin Xin said.
The emperor will not really punish Hong'er for Concubine Shun, Concubine Shun is not worthy.
In this way, Hong'er was willing to go back with Jin Xin.
Returning to Kunning Palace and sending all the servants away, Jin Xin took Hong'er's hand and said, "The Queen Mother asks you, what is the truth of this matter?"
Hong'er lowered his head, "I heard the slave outside saying that my father broke your heart because of Empress Shun and made you sick for so long, so I..."
After hearing this, Jin Xin felt angry and distressed, and she didn't even know what to say to him.
"You are not allowed to get involved in my lord's affairs. Besides, you are so impulsive. If your father disgraced you because of this, what would you do to your mother?"
"Hong'er accepts the punishment, whether it's a slap on the board or a solitary confinement, but I don't regret it." Hong'er said with a pinched neck.
"Do you think it's that simple?" Jin Xin was helpless, but didn't know how to tell him.
He has always been treated as a child, and there is no need for him to understand these things.
But at this moment, Jin Xin felt that she must communicate with him as an adult.
"Hong'er, my mother has high hopes for you, so you must not know anything. You have to live up to your expectations and strive to make your father have high hopes for you. Don't compete for temporary highs and lows, but have a long-term vision. Do you understand? "
Hearing this, Hong'er seemed to understand what Jin Xin meant and nodded immediately, "My son understands. My son will definitely not be so impulsive again in the future."
Jin Xin pulled him into her arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Hong'er has some understanding.
"She is just an obedient concubine. She is not important. We, mother and son, have greater capital. Don't lose the opportunity for such trivial matters."
If Jin Xin valued the emperor's favor and wanted to deal with Concubine Shun, she would have dealt with her long ago.
However, now that she is threatening her son, she really cannot stay.
Since this face is ruined, there is no need to treat it.
After sending Hong'er back, Jin Xin summoned the imperial doctor because she felt unwell.
Imperial Physician Wen was in Changle Palace, so naturally Imperial Physician Fang came to Kunning Palace.
"Do you have any medicine on your hand to make the wound fester?" Jin Xin looked at Doctor Fang and asked.
Dr. Fang smiled when he heard this, "Of course there are, many kinds, and the effects are very powerful."
"During the autumn hunting period, please find someone to take care of it. She has injuries on her face and must not go. I hope that when I come back, I won't see that face again."
"Yes, please rest assured about the imperial hospital's methods." Imperial Doctor Fang said respectfully.
Concubine Shun's face really worried the emperor. Within a few days, Yiyi sent people to find medicine to treat her. However, the wound could not be healed so easily. If it was to be effective, it would have to wait until the scabs formed before it could be used.
On the third day of September, we officially set off for Dabie Mountain.
The children are also going to see the world.
After what happened last time, Jin Xin had already become quite alienated from the emperor. Even if they were riding in the same carriage, Jin Xin still deliberately distanced herself. The emperor looked at Jin Xin beside him and felt unhappy in his heart.
"Are you still angry about what happened last time?" the emperor asked.
"How could it be? Your Majesty is worrying too much." Jin Xin said calmly.
This attitude clearly shows that he is still angry.
"After all, Hong'er did something wrong. It's normal for me to have doubts." The emperor tried to ease the atmosphere again.
"What the emperor said is true, and I think it makes sense." Jin Xin also agreed.
That's what he said, but the emperor felt that the queen's attitude was a bit cold.
Jin Xin opened the curtains and looked at the team behind her.
Gu Zhao found out the money from King He'an's gambling house and sent a large amount to Jizhou. Gu Zhao also sent people to Jizhou to investigate, and Fei Ge sent a message back.
Every three days, Jizhou City will send a very large amount of food to the mountain. No one can approach that mountainous area for hundreds of miles.
With such a large space and food, it is very likely that it will be an army camp.
Although there is no definite evidence for this matter, combined with Wang An's recent actions, it is likely that something will happen to the Dabie Mountains this time.
Gu Zhao has already made arrangements to ensure that she and her child escape safely just in case.
The emperor has really become dull in the past two years. Perhaps he has lost his keen sense of smell because he has been in power for too long.
It's about time he realized how wrong he was.
