The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 45: Yuan’s crime
Chapter 45 Yuan's crime
Concubine Mei led Prime Minister Xia and Mrs. Linglong into the hall.
Mei Fei stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "My concubine pleases the empress dowager, the empress dowager is blessed with longevity and Kangning."
After Concubine Mei's salute, Prime Minister Xia brought Mrs. Linglong forward, "I specially brought Mrs. into the palace to greet the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is blessed."
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and looked at it, "Is the Prime Minister here? Get up quickly."
Prime Minister Xia knelt down and suddenly burst into tears, "I dare not, I am guilty!"
The Empress Dowager was startled, "What's going on? Why are you crying?"
Mrs. Linglong kowtowed with tears on her face, "Empress Dowager Mingjian, my concubine is here today with her husband to the palace to plead guilty."
The Empress Dowager snorted and asked in surprise, "What kind of sin did you ask for?"
Prime Minister Xia had snot and tears on his face, and said sadly: "The empress dowager is the daughter of the minister, Xia Zian, who regrets her marriage to King Liang. The minister really did not know that she dared to do this. Before the marriage, the minister asked She, she said she was willing, and the minister dared to start the marriage. Who knew that she regretted her marriage at the door of the sedan chair, and made a big noise. After investigation, she realized that it was her biological mother, Yuan Shi, who came up with the idea. Yuan Shi was jealous, jealous that Linglong gave birth to a son and a daughter for her minister, but she herself had no children, so she instigated Zi'an to take revenge on Linglong and the minister. , causing His Highness to lose all face, this minister is truly inexorable!"
The Empress Dowager was a little shocked, "The matter of repenting of the marriage has indeed caused a lot of trouble in the city, so how can Yuan Shi be so nonsense? I heard that she used to be a talented woman, it can be seen that a woman is virtuous without talent. wrong."
The Empress Dowager has her own conclusions about the events of that day, but what she wonders is that so many days have passed, and the Empress does not pursue it. Why did they go to the palace to plead guilty?
She paused and asked: "By the way, King Liang told Aijia before that he was married to the second young lady of the Xiangfu, Xia Wan'er, so why did she become Xia Zian? Do you agree?"
Mrs. Linglong cried and said, "Empress Dowager Rong Qi, it's been a day or two that the madam has seen the concubine in the mansion, and the concubine has been patient, but she is still not satisfied and wants to drive the concubine out. It was Zi'an who begged us at that time, saying that she wanted to marry King Liang, and she had longed for King Liang, and asked Wan'er to let her have this marriage. She obviously wanted it, but in the end. However, in front of King Liang, she said that she was forced, that the concubine does not blame Zi'an, she is just a child and was only used by her mother."
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager pondered for a while and looked at Concubine Mei, "Do you know about this matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Concubine Mei stepped forward with a smile and asked Eunuch Sun to leave. She personally served the Empress Dowager with tea, "Empress Dowager, the ministers and concubines know a little bit about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion also occasionally enter the palace. After the marriage was decided, Zi'an also came, when the concubine asked her if she would like to marry the King of Liang, she said yes."
The empress dowager looked at her with a calm expression, "That is to say, it was Xia Zian and Yuan's idea to repent of the marriage? Why did she do this?"
Concubine Mei brought the tea over and sighed softly, "The Queen Mother doesn't know anything, that Yuan Shi is arrogant and arrogant, thinking that she is an outsider, and everyone in the world is vulgar, she was despised and exquisite before. , because Linglong is a widow. She had been married once, so she looked down on her in her heart. Later, when she saw Linglong's painting, her realm was higher than her. Since then, she began to oppress Linglong with the power of her wife. In order to be patient, Linglong has made a poisonous oath She stopped painting for a few days. However, after Linglong gave birth to twins, she had children before her. This Xiangfu was plagued by her jealousy, and it was always inevitable that chickens would jump around. During this process, she Her temperament has become increasingly distorted and has become eccentric. When guests come to the house, she will ramble with others and speak ill of Linglong. This is a well-known thing. And this time, she is even more careful, and the purpose is to retaliate. Lord and Linglong."
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly when she heard Concubine Mei's words, "This Yuan family is really heinous in your mouth."
Prime Minister Xia said with a sad face: "The minister may not be virtuous enough, so his son is not filial, and his wife is not virtuous."
The Empress Dowager looked at him, "So, when you enter the palace this time, are you going to be punished or what?"
When Prime Minister Xia heard the words, he couldn't understand the attitude of the Empress Dowager for a while, so he raised his head and glanced at Concubine Mei, and Concubine Mei reprimanded: "If you need to ask for the guilt, ask for it. How the Empress Dowager and the Empress punish you will all have to suffer." /
Xia Cheng bowed down and said: "I ask the empress dowager to convict!"
The Empress Dowager is still puzzled, "Let's not be too busy to commit crimes or commit crimes. If there is a crime, it will naturally be committed. Aijia doesn't understand. You say that this Yuan family wants to take revenge on Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Linglong, then she must be I don’t know if you regretted the marriage on the spot, and would take her daughter Xia Zian into it?”
Concubine Mei sighed: "How could she not know? In fact, Zi'an is also very pitiful. Even though she was born by Yuan Shi, but Yuan Shi often beats and scolds her, and doesn't treat her as a daughter at all. If you don't believe me, you can order someone to check Xia Zian's body. The many old wounds on her body were all beaten by Yuan Shi. Previously, the concubine said that Yuan Shi's temperament was distorted, so she knew that making Zian repent of her marriage would definitely affect Zian. But in order to overthrow the Xiangfu, she has already ignored it."
Although the empress dowager has a preliminary understanding of the matter, she does not know about the Yuan family.
She began to think that Concubine Mei was just helping Prime Minister Xia to speak, but now she heard that Xia Zian had an old wound on her body, which cannot be faked.
Could it be that Yuan Shi really wants to use his own daughter?
She invited Eunuch Sun, "How much do you know about Yuan Shi?"
Eunuch Sun replied: "If you return to the Queen Mother, Yuan Shi has lived in a secluded place in recent years and hardly shows her face. No one outside knows her current temperament. However, she was indeed full of talent and love in the past, and many people admired her." /
"Ai's family knows this, isn't that silly boy the second child just guarding for her if he doesn't even marry her?" the empress dowager said displeasedly.
The empress dowager was dissatisfied with the Yuan family. Of course she knew that she could not blame the Yuan family. It was the second child who was obsessed. Since she met the thirteen-year-old Yuan family when she was sixteen, she declared that she would not marry her. Everyone thought that he was just a child, but who knew that he would never marry for the sake of the Yuan family.
When Prime Minister Xia heard the Empress Dowager's words, his expression was a little unnatural. The thing he cared about most in his life was that Yuan Shi was already his wife, but there were always a group of fanatical followers outside the gate.
His pursuit of Yuan shi also spent a lot of effort, but since Yuan shi entered the house, it seems that he is no longer the talented woman with a reputation for restlessness, which disappointed him.
