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

The floor tiles in the courtyard were now stained with a layer of white frost by the moonlight.

Jiang Shiying walked to the center of the courtyard and looked up at the moon in the sky.

A Yuan stood quietly behind her.

Jiang Shiying's lips parted slightly: "I feel something is wrong about the fifth prince's illness."

Two days ago, the Queen Mother had just mentioned to her that she wanted to find an adoptive mother for the fifth prince.

Only two days had passed, and he still had a high fever. The timing was too coincidental.

Jiang Shiying was a little suspicious. He wanted to win the Queen Mother's sympathy through illness and stay in Shoukang Palace for a long time.

After I went to see him today with Lu Zhaolin, I was even more convinced that his illness was unusual.

No, because of the fifth prince's illness, Lu Zhaolin was talking about the old things again today, and was thinking about letting her raise the fifth prince again.

The fifth prince likes her?

Jiang Shiying said that the fifth prince liked all the powerful concubines in this palace.

A Yuan asked: "Slave, do you want someone to check it out?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Let Hongying find an opportunity to interrogate the young eunuch who is serving the fifth prince."

Others don't know the inside story of this disease, but those who are closely guarding the fifth prince must know it well.

A Yuan responded.

Jiang Shiying stood in the courtyard for a while before turning back to the bedroom.

As soon as he returned to bed, he was held in his arms by a big hand.

Lu Zhaolin rubbed his head against her neck, and his voice was a bit hazy: "What did you do?"

Jiang Shiying said: "I couldn't sleep, so I went out to admire the moon."

Lu Zhaolin rubbed his head, and there was a hint of a deep smile in his voice: "It seems that Ah Ying is not tired enough. If she is a little more tired, she will be able to sleep smoothly."

Jiang Shiying's exclamation was swallowed into his throat, and what followed was a night of wind and rain.

The next day, as soon as Jiang Shiying finished her breakfast, Hongying came to her to revive her.

"Your Majesty, this slave slightly frightened the little eunuch next to the fifth prince, and he was so frightened that he shook everything out. The fifth prince's illness was originally caused by him washing his body with cold water. After that, the imperial doctor Even though the medicine was prescribed, he didn’t drink it at all, and all of it went into the little eunuch’s stomach.”

Jiang Shiying's fingers circled the rim of the teacup: "Sure enough."

She was thinking about what means she should use to expose this matter in front of the Queen Mother or Lu Zhaolin, so that they could see how complex this innocent and lovely grandson and son was hiding behind his back. Hearty.

Having the fifth prince clinging to her like this really made Jiang Shiying disgusted.

Then I heard Hongying say: "This slave did not do his job well. When he was letting the little eunuch go, he happened to be bumped into by Prince Jing."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Did Xiao Shi ask you anything?"

Hongying nodded and said: "As soon as Prince Jing opened his mouth, he asked the servant if there was anything unusual about the fifth prince's illness."

"and then?"

Hongying said: "My slave has learned what the young eunuch said to King Jing. King Jing said that this matter has been left to him. Please feel free to rest assured."

A smile appeared on Jiang Shiying's lips: "Forget it, let's just wait and see what Xiao Shi can do."

Within three days, Jiang Shiying heard about the follow-up to this incident.

The fifth prince was still ill, so he was packed and sent to the prince's office.

The princes of the Jin Dynasty generally moved into the prince's residence to live alone after they reached the age of seven. The fifth prince is only five years old and still has a fever.

A few days ago, everyone was still speculating on who would be handed over to raise the fifth prince.

As soon as this incident came out, everyone was asking, what big mistake did the fifth prince make? Your Majesty has always been extremely tolerant in front of his children.

On the evening of the same day, Jiang Shiying received news from outside the palace.

She watched the note being swallowed up by the flames and said, "This is such an unexpected surprise."

She originally only asked people to find evidence that Princess Huiming's mansion violated the law, and handed it to a few hard-nosed officials to take a look.

But I never thought that I would find something more interesting.

Her lips parted slightly: "I remember that Princess Huiming has not given birth yet?"

A Yuan nodded: "Princess Huiming has been married to the consort for five years, but she has never been pregnant. I heard that she prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha, and took a lot of soups and medicines, but they were all useless."

A smile appeared on Jiang Shiying's lips: "Now, if she hears that the prince-in-law has a two-year-old son, and there is another one in his belly, she will definitely be very happy."

A Yuan said: "I guess so."

Jiang Shiying motioned for her to come over and whispered instructions in her ear.

Three days later, I heard that Princess Huiming had been sued and brought to Dali Temple.

On this day, when greetings were being paid in Fengyi Palace, the queen was still in the back hall and had not come out. The concubines in front started chatting about this matter.

Zhen Chongrong frowned: "It's so good, why would anyone go to Dali Temple to sue the princess?"

Li Bin sneered: "It's not just for the prince-in-law."

Nian Bin said: "Sister Li Bin seems to know a lot, tell us quickly."

Many people in the hall looked at Li Bin.

I saw her raising her head proudly, and then slowly said: "Do all the sisters know about Hongyun Tower in Beijing?"

Someone answered: "Of course I know, this is one of the best jewelry shops in the capital."

Li Bin said: "Two days ago, when Princess Huiming went to Hongyun Tower to choose jewelry, she happened to meet her husband-in-law and a woman. They behaved as intimately as a couple."

"Huh!" Several people gasped in surprise.

The prince-in-law is so courageous. Did he secretly raise a foreign wife behind the princess's back, and was he knocked into a trap?

Concubine Fang asked: "Did Princess Huiming have someone beat that woman?"

Xue Bin said: "If that's the case, you won't go to Dali Temple, right?"

Li Bin gave her a look of affirmation: "Sister Xue Bin is right. If the princess just punishes the outer chamber, no matter what, there will be no trouble in Dali Temple."

At this point, she paused.

After everyone's appetite was whetted and everyone urged her, they heard her continue: "There is a four-month pregnancy in the outer room. Princess Huiming ordered someone to scold her in public and beat the child hard. Come down."

Someone whispered: "It's too cruel."

It is certainly the fault of the prince-in-law and his wife that he keeps an outside wife. It is enough to give the child a dose of medicine and beat him up. Instead of punishing the child with a stick until he miscarriages, no one in the capital has ever heard of such a vicious master. mother.

But Li Bin shook her head: "This is not the most vicious thing."

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

Li Bin said: "The outer room gave birth to a son to the consort before, and he is now two years old. The child was thrown into the well by Princess Huiming and drowned alive."

As soon as these words came out, it was obviously a warm spring day, but many people in the hall shivered violently.

Concubine Fang sighed: "The person who keeps the outside wife is the prince-in-law. If you are angry, just go to the prince-son-in-law. How can you be so innocent?"

Everyone in the hall agreed with this.

Concubine Nian asked: "Who reported Princess Huiming to Dali Temple?"

Li Bin said: "It's the elder brother of the outer chamber. The outer chamber is a good citizen. Her brother won the title of Juren in the autumn of two years ago. Now, he doesn't have to fight for his future career, but also for his sister. Revenge with my nephew."
