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

Ah Yuan gently lifted Jiang Shiying's sleeves and saw that both forearms were swollen.

The skin of the forearm was covered with bruises, which were in stark contrast to the surrounding white skin, which was shocking.

The doctor first checked her joints and bones, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, my mother's bones are fine. The bruises need to be applied with medicine every day, and they will heal in a few days."

Then, he checked her ankle and said: "Ankle sprain is a bit troublesome. Daily acupuncture and dressing are also needed. In the past few days, the empress should try to rest as much as possible and move less. It will take about ten days. That’s great.”

Jiang Shiying nodded and said, "Thank you."

The doctor said she didn't dare.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Where are the other parts of your body? Are you injured?"

Jiang Shiying smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything else will be fine."

While the medical woman was examining Jiang Shiying, the queen and others had already arrived.

Ning Bin, the fourth prince's biological mother, hurriedly bowed to the queen and the high-ranking concubines, then rushed to check on the fourth prince's condition.

Yao Xingde handed the fourth prince to Ning Bin and said, "Don't worry, Madam, the imperial doctor has already looked at it. The fourth prince is not seriously ill, but he is a little frightened and needs to take some calming soup."

Ning Bin nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Yao."

Yao Xingde said: "I didn't do anything. It was Empress Jia who saved the fourth prince."

Concubine Ning had already heard about this on her way here, and she said gratefully: "Thanks to Empress Jia Concubine, otherwise I would never dare to think about it. I don't know where Concubine Jia Concubine is now, and I haven't thanked her in person yet. "

Others present also wanted to ask this question.

Before Yao Xingde could answer, he saw the door to the inner room opened, and Lu Zhaolin's voice came from inside -

"Come in, everyone."

The queen and others filed in, and the originally spacious inner room instantly became a little crowded.

"I, my concubine, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin frowned and said, "Everyone, get up."

Then, he saw that Jiang Shiying seemed to want to get up and salute, so he held her down and said, "You are still injured. You should be exempted from these etiquettes until you are healed."

The queen also had a look of concern on her face and said: "Your Majesty said that it is only right for the concubine to take good care of her injuries. There is no need to pay attention to these false etiquette."

Ning Bin put down the fourth prince, then took two steps forward and knelt down to Jiang Shiying.

Jiang Shiying said in shock: "What is Sister Ning Bin doing? Ah Yuan, help Sister Ning Bin up quickly."

Ning Bin insisted on finishing the ceremony before getting up.

Then, she heard her say: "I have heard about what happened today. Thank you Sister Jiabin for saving Xun'er today. If it weren't for my sister, Xun'er would have been seriously injured today even if she was lucky enough to survive. My sister not only saved Xun'er. He also saved me. I will remember my sister’s great kindness in my heart.”

Jiang Shiying said: "This is what I should do. I don't deserve my sister to thank me like this. Anyone who sees the Fourth Prince's child falling from the rockery will rush over to save him."

Both Lu Zhaolin and Ning Bin could hear this, and she truly thought so. But precisely because of this, this sincerity is even more valuable.

Lu Zhaolin came out of the battles in the palace to seize the legitimate sons, and he would not naively believe that the women in the harem were really as harmless as they seemed on the surface.

He thought that what happened today, if it were the other concubines present, or even the queen, they might not rush to save people like her.

They would just cry, fearing that the fourth prince's fall was not hard enough and his injuries were not serious enough.

Ning Bin knew this better than him, so at this moment, Ning Bin completely regarded herself as Jia Bin's person.

Everyone present noticed that Lu Zhaolin was looking at Jiang Shiying with such gentle eyes that he almost shed tears.

He asked: "You have made great achievements today, but what do you want?"

The queen's heart tightened, but she could only ask dignifiedly: "What your majesty said is, is there any reward that the concubine wants?"

Jiang Shiying didn't look at the queen, only looked at Lu Zhaolin, and asked, "Can anything be done?"

Lu Zhaolin nodded, mentally guessing what she would ask for.

Then, I heard Jiang Shiying say: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to find out the truth behind the danger of the fourth prince today! I don't believe that what happened today was just an accident."

Lu Zhaolin did not expect that her request would be this, and said softly: "Even if you don't mention this matter, I will still investigate it. Don't you have anything else you want?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty has always treated me very well. I am not greedy and want nothing else."

"Then write it down first, as I owe you a request."

After saying that, Lu Zhaolin turned his head and scanned the other people in the room. His eyes were no longer as gentle as before, and his brows were full of stern expressions.

After a long while, he said: "Now, who will tell me what happened today? Why did the fourth prince fall from the rockery? Where are the people serving him?"

Yao Xingde took a step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the people serving the fourth prince are kneeling in the courtyard outside.

According to what they said, when the fourth prince was playing on the pavilion of the rockery today, the railing of the rockery suddenly broke. The fourth prince was leaning on the railing at the time, so he fell off the rockery together with the railing. "

With that said, Yao Xingde handed the broken wood in his hand to Lu Zhaolin.

"Your Majesty, please look at this. This is the broken railing. Judging from the fracture surface, it doesn't look like it has been in disrepair."

Lu Zhaolin took the broken wood. He had already seen the cross section Yao Xingde said. It was obvious that it had been cut with a sharp weapon.

Before, Ning Bin's attention had been on the fourth prince, but now she found out that the railings of the pavilion had been tampered with, which led to the fourth prince being in danger.

She knelt on the ground and knocked her head down hard. The "thud" sound was painful just to hear it.

There was a cry in her voice: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the fourth prince. Someone is deliberately trying to harm the fourth prince!"

At this moment, Lu Zhaolin's eyes seemed to have a storm brewing and surging, and his voice was so cold that it could freeze: "Let me investigate strictly!"

Everyone could see that he was extremely angry. No one dared to speak at this time, for fear that the emperor's anger would ignite on themselves.

Jiang Shiying has no such worries. No one is safer than her in this room now. No one Lu Zhaolin could anger would be able to anger her.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, she asked: "Sister Ning Bin, I remember that my sister's residence is in Landu Chunzhai?"

Ning Bin nodded.

Jiang Shiying asked: "Landu Chunzhai is not close to the rockery where the accident happened. Why did the fourth prince go there to play?"

Ning Bin also felt something strange: "Before the nanny and Xianglan took the fourth prince out, they reported to me that they wanted to take the fourth prince to Qushui Qingxi."

Qushui Qingxi is right behind Landu Chunzhai. The water there is shallow and there is no danger for children to play there.

When Lu Zhaolin heard this, he said, "Let those slaves come in and explain clearly what is going on."

Wait for a few slaves to come in from outside and kneel on the ground.

Ning Bin asked: "Nanny Zhou, Xianglan, didn't you say you were going to take the Fourth Prince to Qingxi River in Qushui? Why did you go to the rockery near Guangcai Pavilion?"

Xianglan replied: "Returning to your Majesty, the servants and others were indeed going to take the fourth prince to Qushui Qingxi, but as soon as they arrived at Qushui Qingxi, they heard two young eunuchs talking in the palace.

They said that many new koi carp were put into the Liaoyan Pond, which was very beautiful.

There is also a rockery and a fish viewing pavilion next to it. If you throw fish food in the pavilion, you can see the koi carps competing for food, which is much more interesting than the small fish in the clear stream of Qushui.

After hearing this, the fourth prince shouted that he wanted to watch the koi fish fight for food. "

The Guanyu Pavilion mentioned in this sentence is the pavilion where the accident occurred.

After hearing this, everyone knew that something was wrong with the two young eunuchs.

The queen looked at Lu Zhaolin and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have to find those two little eunuchs first."

As he said this, everyone knew in their hearts that a lot of time had been lost in the development of the matter. Even if the two young eunuchs are found, I'm afraid they are already in danger.

All the young eunuchs in the palace were summoned in batches to the courtyard in front of Guangcai Pavilion and Chengye Residence to let Nanny Zhou, Xianglan and others recognize them.

Because Jiang Shiying was also thinking about this and was worried, Lu Zhaolin personally carried her out and ordered someone to move a chair for her to sit on.

After the last batch of young eunuchs were called here, Nanny Zhou and Xiang Lan carefully identified them one by one, and finally shook their heads.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Is there anyone who hasn't been here yet?"

The palace manager replied: "Your Majesty, there are still six eunuchs who have not come because they are sick."

Lu Zhaolin glanced at him sideways and said, "Didn't come here because he was sick? Even if they are carried, they still have to be carried here by me."

Jiang Shiying knew that the position of Palace Manager might have to be replaced by someone else.
