The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Concubine Jin said: "Eunuch Yao said your father was only slightly injured."

Hearing this, the fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief and said like a young adult: "Then Xiao'er is relieved."

"It's just -" Concubine Jin changed her words and said, "It's just that my mother is always a little worried. I'm afraid your father's injury this time is not as light as Eunuch Yao said."

"What did the mother-in-law mean?" The fifth prince's little face wrinkled up.

"Zuo is just my concubine's wild imagination." Concubine Jin forced a smile and said, "In the future, you should visit your concubine Shu more often."

The fifth prince was puzzled: "Why?"

"What if -" Concubine Jin stopped talking and abruptly changed her subject: "Your eldest brother is the oldest. It won't do any harm if you go to your concubine Shu more often."

The fifth prince opened his mouth and was about to say something else, when Concubine Jin said: "It's getting late, go back and sleep quickly."

The fifth prince could only stand up and salute: "My son, please retire."

Then, he asked Perrin to hold his hand and send him back to his room.

That night, the fifth prince tossed and turned, with countless thoughts passing through his mind.

He automatically finished what Concubine Jin was saying.

If my father really does something bad this time, only the eldest brother under my father's knees can be truly grown up. The lord of the country, the eldest brother, will most likely succeed to the throne. He would go to Concubine Shu more often. For Concubine Shu's sake, the eldest brother would treat him better.

But what he wanted was more than that.

What should he do to prevent the eldest brother from ascending to that position?

···

The next day, Jiang Shiying went to Ganquan Palace again in the morning and once in the evening.

It didn't matter whether Lu Zhaolin saw her or not. What mattered was that she had to express her attitude.

In the evening, after returning to Jingyang Palace.

He had just finished changing his clothes and was preparing to eat when he saw Yu Chengyi coming in. Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had something to report.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shiying asked.

Yu Chengyi finished the ceremony first, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have received the news. Just now, the Empress Dowager sent someone to the prince's office and severely reprimanded the eldest prince."

Jiang Shiying frowned: "Do you know why?"

Yu Chengyi said: "It seems that there was some conflict between the eldest prince and the fifth prince, and the fifth prince was injured."

Jiang Shiying's eyelids were lowered. After thinking for a moment, a chuckle escaped from his lips: "This is someone's idea."

Yu Chengyi asked: "What can we do?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Stare from a distance and just watch it as a show of excitement. No matter how they fight back and forth, as long as no one can put their hands into Jingyang Palace."

Yu Chengyi responded sternly: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

At this time, in Yongfu Palace.

Concubine Jin also received the news and learned that the eldest prince was reprimanded by the queen mother for bullying his younger brother.

She was having a meal. After listening to Peilan's words, she first put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, gently wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and then said, "I have underestimated Xiao'er."

Peilan said: "Are you saying that what happened today was the fifth prince's intention?"

Concubine Jin looked at her: "Isn't our original plan to let him plot against the eldest prince?"

Peilan said: "I thought that the fifth prince made a mistake, but was taught a lesson by the eldest prince."

Concubine Jin chuckled softly: "He didn't miss it. He has grown up and knows not to dirty his hands easily, and it is easy to leave clues. As soon as this incident comes out today, the Queen Mother will think in her heart, a majesty If the prince who was able to attack his younger brother when he was still on the throne was really allowed to sit on the throne, where would the younger ones have a chance to survive? The eldest prince looked like he just received a scolding, but in fact, hehe——"

Peilan was a little worried: "If your Majesty is kind, the fifth prince will be a good sword. But now, what we want is not just to eliminate the possibility of the eldest prince ascending to the throne."

"No." Concubine Jin sighed: "At this time, this method is too tame for us."

Peilan said: "Do you think so?"

Concubine Jin said: "We can only do it ourselves."

Having said this, she stood up and said: "Let's go to Shoukang Palace to bring back my son who has been wronged. Tonight, I, the mother-in-law, will avenge this revenge for him."

Peilan praised: "Your Majesty is really a good mother and concubine who loves her children."

Concubine Jin smiled and said nothing.

Early the next morning, when Jiang Shiying got up, Qiu Yu helped her up and said, "Mother, the eldest prince fell into the water last night."

"What's going on?" Jiang Shiying asked.

Qiu Yu said: "It is said that the eldest prince went to relax in the imperial garden last night. When he passed near the Shangxin Bridge, he was knocked into the water from behind."

Jiang Shiying frowned slightly: "Why would he go to the Royal Garden to relax at night?"

Qiu Yu said: "Didn't the Queen Mother send someone to reprimand the eldest prince yesterday?"

After she reminded her, Jiang Shiying remembered the matter and asked, "How is it now?"

Qiu Yu said: "It is said that the high fever will not go away."

Jiang Shiying frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let Yu Chengyi take the things to the prince's residence."

She had a high position, and if something happened to the eldest prince, she would have to send someone to check it out.

Qiu Yu said "Promise" and was about to go out to deliver a message when she heard her add: "Don't bring food and drink, bring those expensive toys and ornaments."

It not only seems to be taken seriously, but also not easy for others to manipulate.

Qiu Yu understood: "Don't worry, Madam."

After Jiang Shiying finished his breakfast, Yu Chengyi also came back.

"You see the eldest prince?" Jiang Shiying asked.

Yu Chengyi shook his head: "Only after I arrived at the prince's residence did I know that the eldest prince had been moved to Concubine Shu's Hanzhang Palace. I took people to Hanzhang Palace again. Concubine Shu met with me in person, but she didn't No servant was allowed to go in to see the eldest prince. The imperial concubine, concubine Jin, and several other empresses also sent people to see the eldest prince, but none of them saw the eldest prince's face."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying's eyebrows raised slightly.

The eldest prince fell into the water and became feverish. As a mother-in-law, it was reasonable for Concubine Shu to move the child back to her own palace.

However, the people sent by the concubines were not allowed to see the eldest prince, was it because they were afraid of disturbing the eldest prince's recovery, or for something else?

At this time, Lu Zhaolin and Yao Xingde were also talking about this matter in the Ganquan Palace dormitory.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Has the person been caught?"

Yao Xingde said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it has fallen into the hands of Secretary Wude. I think we will be able to find out a lot of things today."

Lu Zhaolin asked again: "How is Qiyu?"

Yao Xingde said: "Our people rescued him in time. The eldest prince only suffered from a slight cold and is not seriously injured. The news of the high fever was released by Empress Shu."

Lu Zhaolin nodded when he heard this: "It's good for her to keep an eye on Qi Yu, lest his head gets hot and he doesn't do anything."

Yao Xingde didn't dare to answer these words and just lowered his head as if he didn't hear it.
