The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 360 Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger

These people are all palace servants who are involved in the poisoning of Huang Sunmao.

Their eyes were numb, clearly having suffered inhuman torture. The bloodstains on their bodies showed they had already been in a darkroom.

As I got closer, I could hear them repeating the same thing over and over again.

"I am guilty, I am guilty..."

When they got closer, they seemed to realize that the concubines here were already dying, and at this moment they no longer avoided the palace rules of whether to look directly at the nobles.

They glanced resentfully among these masters, trying to figure out who had brought them to this point.

These nobles have kind faces but are actually extremely cruel.

They kept looking, and their hands on their necks moved back and forth as they walked.

Soon the two groups passed each other.

Among the concubines, some were afraid, some were panicked, and some were guilty.

Not daring to say more, they fled back.

This was a warning from the Queen to them. The next day, many concubines fell ill in the palace.

The Emperor of Chu also knew the outcome of the matter, and went to the Queen's palace after the court session.

"Have all the palace servants been dealt with?"

The King of Chu leaned back in the soft chair, holding a Zen bead in his hand.

The queen seemed a little unwell. She had a headband on her head, her face was pale, and she leaned weakly on the couch.

"This morning, I asked all the palace ladies to come and watch the execution. I believe this will at least serve as a warning to the emperor."

After the queen finished speaking, she coughed a few times. The Emperor of Chu stood up nervously, personally supported the queen's shoulders, and smoothed her back.

The queen used the veil to turn her head to the other side.

"Your Majesty, please stay away from me, or you will get sick."

The palace maids around him came over, and the Emperor of Chu tactfully made room for them.

He had just touched the queen's back, and the bones were so thin that they were protruding.

After a while, the queen recovered and felt her throat was better.

"I have already issued an order that unless it is an urgent matter, they are not allowed to enter the palace to disturb it."

When he said this, there was a hint of anger on the face of the Emperor of Chu.

He was getting fed up with it.

The queen naturally heard about it, and a trace of confusion appeared on her face.

"If the Queen has anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, the concubines are usually bored. With more children in the palace, the sisters will be more cheerful. If there weren't some treacherous people behind this, why would they stop the emperor's grandchildren? I am just a little sad."

After hearing this, the King of Chu thought it was very reasonable.

That’s right, it’s because some people have bad intentions, so they suffer the consequences of their own actions and cannot blame others.

After the King of Chu left, he went to the palaces of the other concubines to comfort them.

When she heard them saying that the queen was too strict, she left in anger.

The queen treated them sincerely, but they did not understand her good intentions and instead kept complaining.

This made the King of Chu think of himself, and wondered if his intentions were the same in the eyes of his sons.

When the queen learned about what happened in the harem, a slight blush appeared on her originally pale face, and she seemed to be in much better spirits.

She doesn't have a prince, but not having a prince has its advantages.

Even if she preferred the Sixth Prince, this would only further demonstrate her kindness to the Emperor of Chu.

"Mother, it's time to take medicine."

The palace maid presented a decoction for the queen to take.

"Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow will be the first birthday of the Fifth Prince's legitimate son. The Fifth Prince's residence is holding a banquet to celebrate. Even His Majesty has asked about it several times, which shows how much he values ​​it. Regarding this gift..."

"Just send it according to the regulations. You don't need to ask me about this."

Queen Zhu rubbed her eyebrows.

The fifth prince was married for three years before he finally had this legitimate son, so he was naturally happy.

She has many grandchildren, but none of them are what she wants.

"How's the Sixth Prince doing lately?"

After hearing this, the palace maid thought to herself that the Queen still loved the Sixth Prince the most.

"Her Majesty, the Sixth Prince's residence is almost complete. He will be moving out of the palace and setting up his own residence by the end of the year."

The queen nodded slightly. The palace would be opened at the end of the year, and the wedding would be scheduled for the end of next summer, which was a suitable time.

The Sixth Prince’s Mansion doesn’t sound very nice.

Your Majesty's princes have not yet been crowned kings, and no one knows what the Emperor of Chu is thinking. They all privately mutter that Your Majesty is too harsh on the princes.

Generally, princes would be made kings when they reached adulthood. Even though the Emperor of Chu was not favored at the time, he was made King Ping shortly after his marriage.

The second prince is already fifty-one years old, but he is still just a prince. It's really frustrating.

There was a constant stream of memorials from court ministers requesting to be granted the title of king, but the Emperor of Chu threw them all aside to gather dust.

At the beginning of autumn, the Emperor of Chu received a letter from the third prince asking about his well-being, and only then did he remember his son who had been sent to his fiefdom.

Because of the palace coup, he threw the third son into his fiefdom.

It seems that he hasn't given him a title yet?

The King of Chu "forgot", but it doesn't matter. He can just make up for it now.

Finally, during the autumn harvest season, the princes of Da Chu had an unexpected surprise.

The second prince Chu Qinchang was conferred the title of Ming Wang.

The third prince Chu Qinao was granted the title of King Ke.

The fourth prince, Chu Qinfu, was granted the title of King Xuan.

The fifth prince Chu Qinyang was granted the title of King Kang.

The sixth prince Chu Qinling was granted the title of Prince Chun.

In one breath, he made all his sons kings.

Some are happy, and some are unhappy.

The second prince was very unhappy. He had waited for more than thirty years before being crowned king.

The youngest brother was crowned king before he even left the palace. The contrast is too obvious.

The imbalance to a certain extent made him hate his younger brothers even more.

Of course everyone was still happy, after all, no one was left behind.

But when I thought of my youngest brother, I felt even more uncomfortable.

They all comforted themselves in the same way, thinking that since he had no chance of becoming emperor, they could just regard it as compensation from their father.

My father will be arrogant for a few years now, and when the dust settles, we will see if he can still smile.

We’ll talk about the future later, just be happy now.

The plaque of the Sixth Prince’s Mansion was just made and it was immediately replaced with a new one.

Prince Rui's Mansion.

These three words were written by His Majesty himself, and they look different when hung on the door.

In order to see how far her granddaughter's future residence was from her home, Song Shengfu went shopping and stood at the door to take a good look.

Not bad.

Two little kids, one big and one small, followed her.

The older one is Sister Qiong (also known as Bao Bao), and the younger one is Brother Ji, who is only three years old.

"Grandma, Wang."

Ji Ge'er pointed to a word on it and said.

Song Shengfu squatted down, gently tapped his little nose, and praised him for being so great.

Brother Ji happily shook his sister's hand and said, "Brother Ji is great."

Sister Qiong felt a little helpless. Every time they went out, her brother always liked to hold her hand. In order to take care of his short legs, she walked very slowly.

"Okay, switch to the other side. My hands are sweating."

It was already late autumn, and she had been walking on the street for a while and her body was already hot. Her brother's little hand was holding her ring finger and little finger.

After hearing this, Ji Ge'er was afraid that his sister would not hold his hand, so he quickly ran to the other side and took his sister's hand.

"Let's go and take a look at the street."
