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

Peng Deyun nodded and bowed: "Thank you for your compliments. This is what slaves should do."

The last few times he came to see me, his demeanor and movements were partly flattering and partly flattering, and he only wanted to climb the big tree.

Today's flattery is mixed with fear. It was not for anything else, just because he had seen Jiang Shiying's light and skillful methods.

How was the eldest prince adopted? Others only know one, but he knows the other. Concubine Chen seemed to have nothing to do with this matter, but she gave her the right push.

A few days ago, when he came to deliver fans and Dragon Boat Festival accessories, he reported to Concubine Chen some of the clues they had discovered after keeping an eye on the eldest prince.

"The little Yuezi who lives next to the eldest prince has a close relationship with the little Gaozi in the garden.

This little Gaozi works behind the scenes at Xingyue Pavilion.

The servant asked someone to sneak into Xiao Gaozi's room and find a barrel of kerosene hidden in his room. "

What did Concubine Chen say at that time?

"Kerosene? Are you planning to set fire to the imperial concubine's Awakening Moon Pavilion?"

"This is what I guess! Do we want to tell His Majesty or the Imperial Concubine?"

After hearing what he said, Concubine Chen looked at him with a smile: "You are quite old-fashioned and warm-hearted."

His face tightened: "My servant is thinking that in this way, His Majesty will praise you more, and the Imperial Concubine will also appreciate your favor."

But looking at Concubine Chen's reaction, I'm afraid his thoughts were not to her liking.

"If you want to sell it in front of His Majesty or the noble concubine, I won't stop you. However, when His Majesty asks you why you are staring at the eldest prince, don't involve me."

"Your Majesty is joking. I only want to sell well in front of you. I will do whatever you say."

"In that case, please come here."

Just when he recalled this, Peng Deyun heard Jiang Shiying's question: "When you led people there two days ago, you didn't show any traces, right?"

How could the imperial army happen to see Xiao Gaozi and Xiao Yuezi talking together?

It's just that she arranged for the people from the Craftsmanship Department to keep an eye on it in advance and then lead them over at the right time.

In this way, no matter how tight the little Gaozi's mouth is, the eldest prince will never be able to escape cleanly.

With this move of hers, she was sure that not only would the arson incident be impossible, but the imperial concubine's people would also be able to catch Xiao Gaozi on the spot.

If someone could plot against her so easily, how could the imperial concubine remain in the palace for so many years?

Peng Deyun repeatedly assured: "Don't worry, my queen, the slaves are very careful."

Jiang Shiying nodded: "That's good."

Next, she should think carefully about how to tie this matter to the fifth prince.

Does he want to hide behind the eldest prince?

She couldn't bear to see that there was such a poisonous snake hiding in the palace, so she had to find him out!

···

At this time, in Mingxiu Pavilion.

After Shuwen learned the decree from the emperor, he happily went to the queen to report the news.

She was thinking that with such great news, the Queen was so happy that she didn't know how to reward her!

When she finished speaking with a smile, she saw that the queen's face was no longer happy, but she was so shocked that she almost knocked over the tea cup in her hand.

"What did you say? Say it again!" The queen spoke sternly.

The text was quickly repeated: "Empress, the eldest son of the emperor has been adopted by your majesty to Prince Rui. From now on, he will not be allowed to enter the palace without an imperial edict. Empress Shu was demoted to the second-grade concubine Jing because she was not strict in raising her son."

The Queen took a deep breath and put the tea cup on the table: "Your Majesty, can you tell me clearly when you will let the eldest son of the Emperor move to Prince Rui's Mansion?"

The letter said: "We will move today."

The queen frowned: "How anxious!"

Shu Wen was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, isn't this a great thing for our Fengyi Palace?"

Concubine Jing was not close to their Fengyi Palace, and the emperor's eldest son rarely came to the empress to pay her respects. Now that the mother and son have made a big mistake and are exposed in front of His Majesty, the emperor's eldest son has been adopted directly. Isn't it good for Fengyi Palace and not bad at all?

The queen murmured: "Of course it's a good thing."

As she said this, her eyes were filled with clouds that lingered for a long time.

How great would it be if this matter could be solved a year and a half earlier?

A year and a half ago, her Yongning was still there.

How successful would Yongning be if she knew that the eldest prince who had been against her since childhood was adopted?

Pity.

Now that this decree is issued, it will only do harm to her, not good.

As soon as the eldest prince leaves the palace, it is equivalent to leaving her sphere of influence. If you want to do something to him, it will be far less convenient than when you are in the palace.

Until then, she would have to rely on the power of her family to send the eldest prince down to meet her Yongning.

But if her father and the others knew that she had this idea, I am afraid that not only would they not help her, but they would hinder her even more.

Even her father and the others might think she was crazy and simply choose someone from the Song clan to send to the palace.

The queen frowned and paced back and forth in the palace.

If she had known earlier, she would have attacked the eldest prince first!

There is no use thinking about these things now. The most urgent task is to find a way to keep the eldest prince in the palace.

"Serve me to change my clothes. I am going to Mingguang Hall to beg Your Majesty to take back my order!"

As soon as these words came out, Shuwen froze in confusion, but Huaping took two steps forward to stop the queen.

"Empress! Why do you need to take the risk of offending His Majesty for the sake of the eldest prince?"

The relationship between the emperor and the empress was already in jeopardy, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire if it got involved with the eldest prince?

Huaping was extremely worried, but the queen looked at her with a cold look: "When did I ask you to comment on my actions?"

"I know my mistake, please forgive me."

Huaping sighed in his heart, bent his knees and admitted his mistake.

Not long after, the queen and her people came out of Mingxiu Pavilion and headed to Mingguang Hall.

When she was halfway there, she suddenly stopped and whispered in Huaping's ear: "Go find Concubine Jing."

"Concubine Jing?"

The queen nodded: "The eldest prince has been adopted. As a mother-in-law, she cannot be anxious."

"But this is His Majesty's will after all."

The queen said with certainty: "No matter whose will it is, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance to save it, Concubine Jing will not let it go."

"Are you asking Concubine Jing to plead with His Majesty with you?"

The Queen said: "No. She is not of use in begging for mercy.

You tell her that His Majesty is so angry that he made such a decree. But after all, he is a biological father and son, and His Majesty also has pity for the eldest prince in his heart.

If the eldest prince suddenly contracted a cold and a high fever, I don't think His Majesty would be so cruel as to drive him out of the garden today.

If it drags on for a few days, there will be a turn for the better. "

After a few days, even if His Majesty refused to withdraw his decree, she could take this opportunity to quickly kill the eldest prince.

Huaping's eyes shone brightly and he nodded repeatedly: "I'll go right now. Concubine Jing is working hard. Don't you need to go to Mingguang Hall?"

The queen shook her head: "You still have to go."

A two-pronged approach is best.

Of the two paths, one can always lead.
