Chapter 767 I won't save you this time ()
"Your Majesty, this cannot be done!" Fu Shun exclaimed, "The lady in Qingyun Palace is still useful now. If we do this, it seems too obvious."
"Empress Liu is pregnant with my child, so I asked people to take good care of her. Isn't this normal!" Liang Song suddenly chuckled, and the sole of his boot happened to roll over a piece of debris. The crisp sound made everyone present shudder.
Fu Shun knelt down with Xu Sanyang and the coroner, and begged, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
After taking a deep breath, Liang Song seemed to calm down a little. He took out a bright yellow scarf from his arms, squatted down, wrapped up the bone fragment and the five-colored thread and hid them in his arms.
"I remember that Concubine Xian couldn't sleep well after she became pregnant, so let someone make some benzoin and send it to her." Liang Song said indifferently, "After all, the people in the aristocratic family still attach great importance to this child."
Fu Shun's pupils suddenly contracted.
He finally understood Liang Song's intentions - if before he was only planning to save the mother and the child, now he might have abandoned the child as well.
And as if he was afraid that Fushun didn't understand what he meant, Liang Song added: "The tribute of Rhodiola rosea from the Western Regions is a good thing. What do you think of asking the perfumer to add it to the benzoin?"
"Yes!" Fushun replied with his head down.
Liang Song's bloodstained fingertips gently rested on his trembling shoulders and continued to instruct: "Also, go get the agarwood rosary that the late emperor loved the most and send it to Concubine Liu."
His voice suddenly became unusually gentle at this moment: "It's the one with the fragrance. Remember to put it on a golden plate and give it to her in person."
The weather today is not very good. Although it is not raining, it is quite gloomy.
At this moment, there was a sudden thunder outside the palace, and the pale lightning split the carved window lattices, illuminating the abandoned palace.
In the dazzling light, Xu Sanyang caught a glimpse of the profile of this usually benevolent and cowardly emperor.
Because of the angle, he saw a dark old scar that meandered along the other person's jaw. It was not very big, but because of the curve and the fact that it was not very big, it was able to be hidden.
As long as you keep your chin tucked in on weekdays, it is basically difficult to be discovered.
But, for some reason, Xu Sanyang seemed to see the scar twitching, like a poisonous snake that had awakened.
Just when Liang Song was about to say something, a young eunuch who had been arranged by Fu Shun to keep watch outside stumbled in.
After all, he was his "godson", so Fushun immediately blocked him and scolded him: "Why are you so flustered? You don't even have the slightest manners in front of His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! Your servant..." Although this man regained some of his rationality after being yelled at by his godfather, his voice trembled when he thought of the news he had just received. "Just now someone came to report that the Liu family entered the palace.
Not long after, word spread that Concubine Xian's pregnancy was unstable, and the Imperial Hospital had already arranged for several imperial doctors to come over."
Although this eunuch is Fu Shun's godson, he never tells him Liang Song's true thoughts.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed!
It is not just empty talk that teaching a disciple will starve him to death.
"Go down! His Majesty knows about this matter." Fu Shun waved his hand and sent the other person away.
After the others left, Liang Song's expression returned to normal: "I thought they would wait a little longer! I didn't expect they would be so impatient!
It seems that this family is not a monolithic entity. They just pulled my A Luo down, and now they want to abandon Liu Yunqing as well."
"The most important thing for aristocratic families is bloodline, and the Liu family can only be considered the lowest among them!" Fu Shun thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that at the morning court tomorrow, other adults will think about sending their daughters to the palace as well."
Liang Song sneered: "They will probably do that. It's a good opportunity to bring all of them in. Then we can kill them all at once. It also saves me from having to kill them one by one."
But now we just need to wait a little longer!
"Pass on my order, tell those people to take good care of Concubine Liu and keep her belly safe for me." Liang Song looked very happy, "I love to see them fighting each other!"
Then several people left the abandoned palace one after another.
After Liang Song and Fu Shun left, the coroner almost collapsed to the ground.
Xu Sanyang's legs were also a little weak, but he was better than the other person. He stood up with the help of a pillar and said to the coroner, "You are quite courageous. If you find the cloth, then find the cloth. Why are you looking for bones?
And he didn't even tell me. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't say anything just now, otherwise we wouldn't know how we died."
The coroner glanced at Xu Sanyang, then suddenly leaned close to his ear and said, "That must be Concubine Xiao. I also fished out a burnt ear clamp from the lake!"
"Don't say it!" Xu Sanyang immediately covered the mouth of the coroner after hearing this. "Although your majesty knows what happened, nothing can be said without seeing the body. If you are sure of this, you can wait for your majesty to let the people of the world be buried with the imperial concubine!"
Ear pliers are a kind of "ear ornaments" that cannot be removed!
These are usually things only convicted palace slaves have.
Concubine Xiao Qiluo was born in the Xinzheku and was imprisoned in the Shenxingsi in her early years. The reason is unknown, but one thing is known - she had an ear clamp in her right ear that could not be removed.
Later, when she was in a high position, Liang Song also wanted to ask the imperial physician to help her remove it.
But because she had worn it for too long, the ear clamps had grown into Xiao Qiluo's skin and flesh, and this one was located near the ear bone.
The consequence of forcibly removing it would probably be losing half of her earlobe, so the ear clamp remained on Xiao Qiluo's ear.
Now that he heard the coroner had put in the ear clamps in advance, Xu Sanyang felt that the matter should be kept secret for as long as possible, and whoever wanted to uncover this "cloth" could do so.
It has nothing to do with him anyway. He is just someone who does the "dirty work" for the emperor.
Liang Song's oral order was soon conveyed to Qingyun Palace, and the second aunt who "reported" the news to Liu Yunqing had been detained in the outer hall of Qingyun Palace.
This man was forced to kneel in a crowded place, with an expression on his face that said "I did something wrong, I am wronged."
But the fact is, she did it on purpose.
Although the Liu family has only one male child of this generation, Liu Tianquan, there are many girls, and the most suitable daughter to enter the palace is not Liu Yunqing.
In terms of seniority, her daughter Liu Yunlian is much better than Liu Yunqing.
Although Liu Yunqing had never been married, she had been engaged before! She was a widow who was unlucky in marriage.
Why could she enter the palace and become the master and the superior person rather than her daughter?
But after all, they are all members of the Liu family. When one suffers, all suffer. When one prospers, all prosper. Therefore, after the person to enter the palace was chosen, although the second aunt was reluctant, she accepted it calmly.
However, in order to "clear" all obstacles for his biological sister, Liu Yunqing's younger brother Liu Tianquan secretly murdered Liu Yunlian - she drowned in a pond.
They thought they were being very secretive.
Little did she know that when the second wife was doing the final cleaning for her daughter, she "took" the jade pendant that symbolized Liu Tianquan's identity from the other party.
Moreover, for a period of time afterwards, she had people secretly investigate and finally confirmed that it was indeed Liu Tianquan who was behind this matter.
Among the women of marriageable age in the Liu family, only Liu Yunlian is of similar age to Liu Yunqing. As long as Liu Yunlian is gone, no woman in the Liu family will be able to enter the palace within ten years.
Smelling the scent of mugwort wafting from the inner hall, the second wife didn't know whether the child could be saved, but it seemed that Liu Yunqing's pregnancy was definitely unstable at the moment.
I felt happy in my heart, but I couldn't show it on my face.
She just had to kneel there with her head down.
When Fushun came over, he saw the second wife of the Liu family in a miserable state.
After all, he was the one who sent the "evidence" before, so Fushun handed the golden plate to his godson and asked the guards: "What's going on? Who is this woman?"
"Your Excellency Fu, this woman is the Empress's second aunt, but she just offended the Empress." A senior palace maid beside Concubine Liu replied.
"After all, they are the elders of the Empress. Before things are sorted out, you will be criticized for doing this in the future." Fu Shun frowned and "reminded", "Go to the Liu family and send someone over. Don't make a fool of yourself."
The head palace maid and the guard who was escorting the man looked at each other, and then someone left.
Fu Shun took back the golden plate with the Canaan rosary from his godson and said, "This is the Canaan rosary specially awarded by His Majesty. It has the effect of protecting the owner. I specially sent it to the Concubine Xian, but I don't know how the Concubine is doing now."
It was a coincidence that as soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau walked out from the inner hall.
