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

Lu Zhaolin didn't care much about Song Cairen. What he cared about was how things would end when things got to this point.

Suppress this matter? impossible! All the concubines in the palace already knew it, and he couldn't cover it up even if he wanted to.

In this case, then we can only——

"Concubine Zhen's murder of the late empress is an unforgivable crime. She is demoted to a commoner and sentenced to death.

His father, mother, brothers, nephews, and unmarried sisters were all beheaded.

His father's family and his mother's family had all their properties confiscated and exiled, while those of his descendants had all their properties confiscated and all the officials in office were dismissed. "

This punishment immediately plunged the parents of the former Concubine Zhen and the current Gu Shuren into the abyss.

Who asked her to kill the queen? No matter how unfavored the queen is, no matter how many mistakes she makes and is imprisoned, as long as she is not deposed, she will be the mistress of the Jin Dynasty.

After hearing this, Huaping burst into tears and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise."

Chang Xia, who was kneeling not far from her, screamed: "No! Gu Shuren, she is not the biological daughter of the Gu family. She was adopted. Your Majesty cannot anger the rest of the Gu family because of her.

There was a reason for Gu Shuren to harm the Queen. She was the Queen, and the Queen killed her biological parents. She was just taking revenge——"

Lu Zhaolin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of coldness and sternness: "Drag this lowly maid who helped the tyrants, slandered the late queen's name, and tried to exonerate the Gu family, and beat her to death with a cane!"

Chang Xia wanted to shout again, but was quickly gagged and dragged out of the hall.

As for the words she said, Lu Zhaolin knew that they might not all be false. However, the matter was already here, and for him, there was no need to delve deeper.

No matter what old grudges there were between Gu Shu and the late Queen, it was true that she poisoned the Queen.

Regardless of whether Gu Shuren is the biological daughter of the Gu family, she was raised by the Gu family and sent to the palace by the Gu family. It is not unfair for the Gu family to end up like this!

Then, his eyes fell on Huaping.

There is a reason for painting a screen to poison the common people.

But regardless of the reason, the precedent of attacking a second-grade concubine just for revenge cannot be set. Otherwise, wouldn't the harem be in chaos?

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the painting screen kowtowing once more: "This slave knows that he has violated the palace rules and is willing to die to apologize."

Lu Zhaolin nodded: "Give me wine."

What happened today quickly spread throughout the former dynasty and the harem.

Shangshu Lingfu.

"What did you say? Say it again?" Shang Shuling held the eldest son's wrist tightly.

The minister ordered his eldest son Song Xinshi to repeat today's imperial edict.

Shang Shuling's hand suddenly loosened, and then he fell back on the chair as if he had lost all strength: "Didn't your sister die of illness? Was she poisoned?"

Song Xinshi nodded with tears in her eyes.

Then, Shangshu Ling rolled his eyes and fainted.

The house was in chaos for a while.

After Shangshu Ling finally woke up, he grabbed Song Xinshi's sleeve and said, "Go and arrange the arrangements yourself. I want the direct descendants of the Gu family. No one can make it to the exile alive."

Song Xin immediately responded to these words, and then saw Shangshu Ling close his eyes, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks.

In the palace at this time.

As soon as the seventh prince heard about this imperial edict, he immediately ran to Ganquan Palace.

He was stopped outside the gate of the back hall of Ganquan Palace.

"I demand to see my father!"

The young eunuch bowed and lowered his head: "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."

The Seventh Prince waited patiently for a moment before being brought into the palace by Yao Xingde.

He hurriedly bowed, and before Lu Zhaolin called out, he stood up and asked: "Father, I heard that you want to kill my mother and concubine? Why is this?"

Lu Zhaolin knew that he had a good relationship with Gu Shuren, so he did not dwell on the small flaws in etiquette: "Isn't my decree clearly stated? Your mother-in-law killed the late queen."

"Impossible! I don't believe it! Someone must have wronged her."

Lu Zhaolin said: "The witnesses and physical evidence are all in the Criminal Punishment Department. If you don't believe it, I will ask someone to take you to see it."

The seventh prince was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Even if it is true that the mother-in-law killed the late empress, there must be a reason for it, and the late empress must have deserved it!"

"Bold!" As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhaolin was so angry that he grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it heavily to the ground: "You unfaithful and unfilial thing!"

Even though he didn't like her anymore, the first queen was also the lord of the phoenix throne and the legitimate mother of the princes.

To Lu Zhaolin's ears, the seventh prince's words meant that he was unfaithful to his emperor and unfilial to his mother. He did this to the late empress, but what about his own father?

It wasn't until the paperweight fell to the ground that the Seventh Prince suddenly realized what he had just said. He quickly knelt down and apologized: "Father, please forgive me. My son was in a hurry and spoke uncontrollably."

He wanted to explain a few more words, but Lu Zhaolin didn't want to listen anymore and directly ordered: "Let the seventh prince be brought back to Yikun Palace and grounded for a month to reflect."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came forward to take the seventh prince out.

The seventh prince struggled hard, but he was just a child and his strength was limited.

His mother-in-law had just been convicted, and she had angered the emperor with her rude words. The little eunuchs put their hands on him, but they were not polite at all.

Just as he was about to step out of the palace gate, he heard Lu Zhaolin say: "There is no need to send him to Yikun Palace."

The seventh prince's eyes lit up, and the next moment he heard: "Send it directly to the prince's office. From today on, the seventh prince will move directly into the prince's office."

After that day, the palace and harem were very quiet for a while.

Waiting until the end of March of the following year, Jiang Shiying safely gave birth to a daughter, the seventh princess.

That night, Lu Zhaolin gave the seventh princess the title of Xuanyi and an additional three thousand fiefs.

This appearance allowed the infant Seventh Princess to steal the spotlight.

This is not finished.

Soon it will be Princess Xuanyi's third bathing banquet.

Because Jiang Shiying was still in confinement, Concubine De and Concubine Jing took care of the third party.

In addition to the concubines of the harem, there were also the female relatives of the clan and the wives of the imperial court who attended the third banquet.

When they saw the specifications of the three banquets, everyone's heart skipped a beat - the three banquets did not look like the daughter of an imperial concubine, but more like a princess born from the empress!

After the ladies returned home, they immediately spread the news to their husbands and sons.

The ministers of the previous dynasty all speculated in their hearts that His Majesty wanted to make an imperial concubine his queen? The specifications of today's three banquets are to test the court's reaction?

"Your Majesty wants to establish a queen? No! I don't agree!"

The person who said this was the late Queen's father, Lord Shangshu Ling.

His eldest son Song Xinshi has now entered the court as an official and has a certain understanding of Lu Zhaolin's behavior. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "If your Majesty makes up his mind, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything."

"Who says we can't do anything? Jiang's father is a real criminal. How can she deserve to be on the throne of Phoenix with such a background? Tomorrow you go find some censors and join her in the previous court."
