Chapter 6 Harvest of strangling one's own daughter

Well, the time has finally come.Wu gave birth to a girl.After she heard that she gave birth to a girl, there was an uproar in her heart.But she will not fail after all, she will change the bad situation and turn defeat into victory.From now on, we don't need to be surprised by what Wu's doing, because she is an extraordinary person and is about to do extraordinary things.The sky can be said to be very kind to the Wu family, and it can be said that it is invaluable to make her give birth to a girl. One day, the child is less than ten days old.Queen Wang herself had no children, so she held the child in her arms and fondled it for a while,

Put it back on the bed again.When the servant girl reported that the queen was coming, Wu left on purpose.As soon as Queen Wang left, she came in and strangled the child to death, and covered him with a quilt.She knew that Emperor Gaozong would definitely come to see the child after he went to court. Gaozong really came.Wu happily talked about how cute the child is. She said to a confidant maid: "Bring the child and show it to the emperor. Wrap it up." The maid carried the child out, and Mrs. Wu went to pick it up.She was shocked when she saw it. The child did not open his eyes, did not move, and did not breathe.The child died.Wu was terrified, maybe he was pretending to be so distraught.

It was as if all hope was lost, everything was over.She wailed, and asked, "What's the matter? It's all right in the morning." She wondered why the child died suddenly. The maid who was well-trained by the Wu family said: "We thought we were lying down and sleeping quietly!" The mother didn't lose her mind from crying, but wiped away her tears and asked, "Did anyone come in while I was away?" "The queen is here, she came to see the child, she stroked it for a while and then put it down." Wu's eyes met the emperor's.It's unbelievable that someone would do such a heinous thing!

The emperor said: "The queen is very jealous of you recently. But I never thought she would do such a thing!" Of course the queen didn't admit it.What's the use of denying it?Why didn't you show grace to your servants in exchange for their loyalty?It was Queen Wang who came to see the child, no one else. Gaozong didn't like Queen Wang very much at first, but now he just hates her wholeheartedly.The Empress is now jealous of the Wu family, just as she was jealous of Concubine Xiao Shu in the past.It is true that Queen Wang is not a role model for all the concubines if she does such a thing now, why is she so respectful to the world?Miss Wu misses her child, but keeps silent and weeps secretly, actually secretly happy in her heart.

Gao Zong said: "I intentionally abolished the Queen. She is no longer suitable—unworthy to be..." Mrs. Wu was very generous and just said: "Don't think so. It's fine if you do it. But now I should be promoted from Zhaoyi to Concubine, equal to Xiao Concubine, don't you think so?" It's not easy either.Because the emperor has four concubines, all of which are strictly regulated by court rituals.Gaozong planned to confer another concubine, named Concubine Chen.However, this matter was related to court law, and Emperor Gaozong could not change it arbitrarily. Both Han Yuan, the servant of Huangmen, and Laiji, the servant of Zhongshu, strongly disagreed and thought it was impossible.The Wu family had no choice but to submit, but fortunately, his manpower was exhausted, so he had to wait for one of the four concubines to die, or something else.If fate will not create a great woman, a great woman will create her own destiny.
