619, old tricks
Meiren Li walked to the queen and was about to salute her for a blessed manner, but the eldest prince suddenly rushed forward and headed for Meiren Li.
"Be careful!" The queen screamed and rushed towards the eldest prince. Just as the eldest prince was about to hit Meiren, the queen knocked the eldest prince away.
"Empress!"
"Empress!"
Madam Yuan Ruoshu and others rushed to help the queen. The queen stood up hard and asked, "Is Concubine Li Jie alright?"
"I'm fine!" Concubine Li was scared silly.
"It's fine, it's fine!" The queen was held back with difficulty and sat back. She walked over to everyone and smiled at Xu Shu. She knew the emperor's temperament too well. She never got his favor if she lost her value. Her fetus was just a lead. The fatal blow to the eldest prince was the dragon seed in Meiren's belly. After losing a prince, the emperor would never allow such a thing to happen again.
After a while, Li Jieyu knelt in front of the emperor and cried loudly, "Emperor, the eldest prince... the eldest prince... he wants to harm the children in my belly. Your Majesty, you want to make the decision for me! The children in my belly have been killed by the eldest prince. I am afraid..."
Li Jieyu said the Queen Mother frowned when she spoke in a call, but she had no choice but to do anything about it. What Li Jieyu said was the truth, and she was pregnant now, so she was simply unscrupulous. With the queen's lessons, the emperor would definitely not spare the eldest prince this time.
The moment the eldest prince rushed over, the emperor's heart was in his throat. Seeing that the queen saved Concubine Li Jie, his heart fell back into his stomach. He looked at the queen gratefully and patiently comforted Concubine Li Jie, "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you! You can sit down first!"
Meiren Li touched her stomach and walked back to her empty seat carefully. When she passed by the eldest prince, she took a long walk around, which showed her fear of the eldest prince!
The emperor swept the eldest prince with a gloomy look, and he no longer felt reluctant to leave. He shouted loudly, "Kneel down!"
The eldest prince, who had just gotten up, stepped forward and knelt beside the emperor. Although the man knelt down, his face was not convinced, and he was even unwilling to accept it. In the matter of the queen, he tasted the sweetness. What can the emperor do to him again? As long as he is the only prince of the emperor, he is fearless!
"Bang!" The emperor slapped the eldest prince heavily in the face, "Bastard! Who gave you the courage!" The slap used more than ten years of strength to make the eldest prince's mouth immediately oozed blood, and the emperor's hand was also numb, trembling slightly. Eunuch Xing'an hurriedly handed a handkerchief for the emperor to hold it in his palm to relieve the numbness.
The concubines were so scared that they were all slapped by the slap. They all lowered their heads and eyebrows, and even breathed lightly, for fear that the emperor would vent their anger. The eldest prince pushed down the queen and caused the queen to miscarriage. The emperor took his anger on Concubine Shu. Now the eldest prince intends to murder Meiren Li, who will the emperor be angry on?
At this time, the queen said, "Okay, you all go back!" The emperor is not suitable for anyone to be by his side.
The concubines were as if they were pardoned, "Yes! I will leave!" One of them ran faster than the other, and the room became empty in an instant.
"You should also take your grandmother and mother to the side palace to rest. Now the palace gate is locked. You can live in the palace tonight!" The queen told Xu Shu.
"Yes!" This time the queen should be sure to win, and Xu Shu retreated with confidence.
The eldest prince suddenly shouted, "It was her who pushed me! It was her who pushed me that I didn't stand firm and rushed out!"
Xu Shu's eyes sank, and when she turned around, she felt helpless, "It's not me, it's not me...I don't..."
If the eldest prince had not pushed down the queen, the emperor might have believed the eldest prince at this time, but after experiencing the queen's miscarriage, the emperor had already determined in his heart that the eldest prince had suspected and motives for murdering the prince in Li Jieyu's belly. No matter what the eldest prince said, it would be a quibble.
The Empress Dowager's eyes shrank. This may not be a good opportunity to relieve the eldest prince of crime. The Empress Dowager glanced at Xu Shu's neck. She also had the motive to frame the eldest prince, right?
"Miss Zheng Jiu stays, everyone else will retreat!" The Empress Dowager ordered.
Ruoshu came to lead the way, "Old lady, fourth lady, please come here!"
Mrs. Zheng Si looked at Xu Shu worriedly. Xu Shu blinked gently. Mrs. Zheng Si had to follow Ruoshu. Xu Shu gently lifted her skirt and knelt one foot away from the eldest prince.
"The eldest prince said that you pushed him, so he rushed towards Concubine Li!" The Empress Dowager spoke lightly.
"There is no daughter, no daughter..." Xu Shu looked at the emperor at a loss, then at the queen, explaining over and over again.
The queen said with a heartache, "Mother, this child is not such a person! Besides, she was standing next to me, and she didn't move at all. I could see clearly!"
"Hmph!" The Empress Dowager sneered, "I know people but not my heart! The Queen tried her best to defend her and testify for her. Could it be that there is something ulterior motive behind her?"
The Empress Dowager actually wanted to pull the queen into the water, so she made up her mind to make the muddy water even more muddy. In any case, the eldest prince can no longer be charged with murdering the emperor's heir. One time it could be a mistake, but two times it could be a mistake?
"Mother..." The queen looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief, with a look of hurt. "Is this the kind of person in my mother's heart? I... I didn't say a word about the miscarriage of the eldest prince, and it depends on the emperor. If I really want to harm the eldest prince, why should I wait until now? After so many years, can I have no chance? But I didn't do it, because I am the emperor's wife, and the eldest prince is the emperor's child, that is, my child. How could I harm my own children?"
The queen was very moved when she said something. When it came to the beginning, the queen never blamed the eldest prince for saying a word from the beginning. Instead, she kept blaming her for not being able to keep the child in her womb. After the emperor favored the eldest prince, the queen did not reveal any complaints. As the queen said, if she wanted to target the eldest prince, she had a chance, so why should she take the risk in front of everyone?
The scale in the emperor's heart had already turned to the queen, and he didn't even realize the queen's distortion of concepts, and transferred the accusation that the Empress Dowager pointed at Xu Shu to her.
"The queen is right!" The emperor finally spoke, "I believe in the queen!"
"I also believe in the Empress!" Li Jieyu added in time.
