Spring Forest Evening

Next, whether it was the people kneeling on the ground outside or Zhou Heng who was half kneeling inside, they watched helplessly as the noble concubine in a purple dress was quickly captured by another bright red figure who moved faster. blocked.

Almost at the same time, the imperial concubine let out a scream, which caused an uproar. The people kneeling on the ground took a few steps back again like a tide. Shen Fu took advantage of the situation and retreated outside the veil, barely blocking Zhou Heng's front, and made Zhou Heng so happy that he immediately got up, and almost patted his back with his hand.

"Third princess, you are carrying weapons privately in the Forbidden Palace?!" Hearing the voice of Qin Zhihai, the commander of the Imperial Guard, he looked very angry.

Many people stood up, and with Shen Fu standing in front of them, Zhou Heng couldn't see the situation outside now, and he just felt confused. Many people were calling "My Lady", and some were calling for the imperial doctor to treat him quickly. At the same time, the noble concubine seemed to be seriously injured, and kept screaming.

It seems that the red figure just now was the third princess, and the noble concubine was injured by some weapon she used. I don't know whether the injury was serious or the imperial physicians gave timely treatment. The screams gradually died down. Go down, and then there has been no movement.

"Commander Qin, be careful with what you say!" The third princess, the instigator, didn't lose her composure, and her tone was very calm: "What do you mean by carrying weapons privately? The imperial concubine is trying to harm the queen mother. You, the commander of the Imperial Guard, are so negligent that you actually Still have the face to ask me about weapons?"

"But you can't kill me like this!" General Zhu, who claimed to follow Shen Fu to search Shanglinyuan, also interrupted at this time, very angry, and said loudly: "The imperial concubine is a weak girl, You are excellent in both riding and archery, so you can push her away, why did you stab her at the vital point?"

Zhou Heng, who didn't see the truth in what he said, let out a soft cry in shock. No one heard it through a layer of veil, so Shen Fu could clearly hear it, so he turned his head and glanced at her. Zhou Heng could only cough lightly. A sentence to cover up.

At the same time, Concubine Shu's hysterical shrill voice sounded again:

"My lords, look, this bitch mother and daughter have such evil intentions! They have been planning for a long time, empress empress, three, the knife in Chen Huishan's hand may be used to deal with you!"

"No way?" Queen Jiang's voice sounded very surprised: "The third princess likes to wield swords and guns on weekdays, and the emperor knows about her..."

It's strange, just now Zhou Heng felt that the mother and daughter of the Queen Mother were so calm and abnormal, but now he felt that Empress Jiang seemed to be trying to excuse the third princess. Take the opportunity to follow Concubine Shu's words and directly convict the third princess?

For this reason, Zhou Heng couldn't help looking at Concubine Liang who was holding his son with some doubts.

It's not convenient for Shen Fu to go out and ask directly.

Concubine Liang was seen by her, so she walked over slowly with the fourth prince in her arms, and asked softly in her ear:

"But you feel strange?"

Seeing Zhou Heng nodded quickly, Concubine Liang sneered and said:

"Empress, she's scared! I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager will tear her face apart in public, which will lose the face of the royal family and chill the hearts of the people in the world. I'm even more afraid that the Empress Dowager will also shake her arms out when she finds out about her scandal! "

So it turns out, it seems that Empress Jiang really did what she thought, and she threw a rat trap.

As the saying goes, one can be strong without desires. If one has ulterior motives in one's mind, one can only be controlled by others.

But the two of them have long been either you or me, so they shouldn't have to join hands to be a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, right?

Fortunately, although Empress Jiang still wanted to continue to pretend to break up with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu couldn't take it anymore and screamed:

"Empress, do you not believe what the concubine says? The concubine is kept in the dark, but the concubine knows it clearly. My lords, listen carefully. Why is it not enough for this mother and daughter to kill the emperor? Hmph, It's just because Chen Huishan is ambitious enough to want to be the second emperor of the Martial Emperor!"

Alas, sure enough, but this girl has actually thought of this a long time ago!Zhou Heng shook his head speechlessly.

But he was surprised to hear an uproar outside, and this time the commotion was obviously bigger than before. Most of the courtiers probably didn't expect such a reason. For a while, there were all kinds of messy discussions. Later, Qin Zhihai had to He came out and suppressed it with his loud voice.

"Queen Mother," Empress Jiang's voice followed, sounding very puzzled: "What Concubine Shu said is really unbelievable. To be honest, I don't want to believe it, but I have to think of one thing: now the frontier is stable, The world is peaceful, if it is said that there is a foreign aggressor who deliberately planned this disaster tonight, the concubines will not believe it, they have no such ability."

"First of all, like those enemy bandits in the north, it's not easy to find such a group of thieves who are good at water, not to mention that they don't have a good reputation. Besides, my lords must understand better than this palace. The gang of thieves are lurking underwater. Oh, Prince Jing also mentioned just now that the thieves seem to come in through some unknown secret passage, so... Grand Master Shen, do you think?"

"I said the queen," the queen mother who hadn't spoken for a while suddenly spoke without warning, her voice was still soft and calm:

"Don't ask hypocritically. My lords, you must have many doubts in your mind now. The Ai family is not as knowledgeable as you. Just ask: Don't just rely on two words in everything, what about the evidence?"

"As for Concubine Shu," the voice paused: "It is said that benevolence is the result of benevolence, and Ji'er is also looked down upon by the family. Today, as a mother and concubine, ask yourself, you—"

"I'm not wrong!" Concubine Shu suddenly yelled crazily, so frightened that Zhou Heng quickly turned around and helped cover the ears of the fourth prince: "My Ji'er is so outstanding, a hundred times better than Chen Fenghua! Chen Fenghua just took advantage of it!" The name of the eldest son? He can be a prince, why can't my Ji'er be an emperor?"

"Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence? Okay, then I want to see what good results you bitch mother and daughter can achieve?!"

Then there was a movement, and at the end only Concubine Shu shouted: "Get out of the way!"

Accompanied by the low and low "Ma'am", concubine Shu presumably left with a few maids.

"Mother, you send two more people over to look at it, alas, I don't know what Ji'er and the others are doing now..." Empress Jiang's voice was also a little choked up, and she paused before she recovered and continued to ask: " Two imperial physicians, how is the concubine's injury?"

"Back to the empress," one of the imperial physicians replied hesitantly: "The imperial concubine's injury is at the critical point, and now the bleeding has stopped temporarily, but the medicinal materials brought by the inferior and imperial physicians Sun are limited, and the gauze is also used up, so..."

"Understood," Empress Jiang said, "Then I will do my best to treat you tonight."

With the sound of footsteps, it seemed that the imperial concubine was removed.

Zhou Heng saw that the people outside the veil all moved forward because of this. It seemed that the departure of the two empresses also took some people away, so the courtiers in the pavilion resumed their activity space before they came.

Of course, what they faced was still the confrontation between the Queen and the Queen Mother.

Shen Fu didn't move at all, he still stood outside the veil without moving a bit...
