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

That night, Princess Yongning entered Tanxintang. Next to her, there was only a little maid newly selected by Yao Xingde to serve her.

In addition, Lu Zhaolin also asked Yao Xingde to choose a rather strict nanny in the Sixth Bureau of the Harem to supervise Princess Yongning to pick up Buddha beans.

Others in the palace also heard about today's series of events and the final punishment of Princess Yongning.

The concubines in the harem, especially those with princes and princesses, all clapped their hands in celebration, except for the concubine Qi, who was slightly different.

The fifth prince was very happy to hear the news: "Mother, the second princess has finally been punished. It's great."

But she saw Qi Concubine's mouth curved in a slightly weird arc: "Isn't that right? From now on, Princess Yongning wants to have a fight with Concubine Chun Gui. This is really great."

In the Qinghe Pavilion, the queen also learned the news.

"Concubine Qi, Concubine Su Gengyi, Concubine Chungui, you are very kind."

She held her hands tightly, and when she let them go, Hua Fan exclaimed——

"Mother! Your nails are split."

Then he told the little palace maid on the side: "Get the medicine quickly!"

In the residence of Our Lady the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother first heard about Jiang Shiying falling into the water: "What? How could Yongning do such a thing? How is Ying doing now?"

Hearing her ask this, Liu Baoshan looked embarrassed.

As soon as the Queen Mother saw his expression, she knew that he had something to say that was difficult to say, and said directly: "If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't act like this in front of the Ai family."

Liu Baoshan said: "I heard that Princess Yongning has always been arrogant and domineering in the palace. She often bullies low-ranking concubines. The other princes and princesses are also angry with Princess Yongning. This time the princess pushed a noble concubine into the water. It’s actually not surprising.”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face darkened. Since Liu Baoshan dared to speak out, it can be seen that these things are not rumors, but true.

"Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Liu Baoshan first said: "In the past, I was suppressed by the Queen."

Seeing the empress dowager's expression becoming more solemn, Liu Baoshan's tone became more careful: "Historian Zhao checked the pulse of Concubine Chun Gui and said that the poison of Han Snake Powder had not been completely removed from the concubine's body. After this incident, The cold is worse.”

There was no need for him to say the next words. The Queen Mother naturally understood what the consequences would be if a woman had more cold energy in her body.

She hurriedly ordered Qingshan: "Qingshan, go to the Ai family's private treasury, select some warm tonic medicinal materials, and send them to Jiangxue Pavilion."

When Jiang Shiying was still in Muxizhai, Jiangxue Pavilion was already filled with medicinal materials sent by Qingshan.

In the evening, after hearing about Princess Yongning's punishment.

The Queen Mother saw the cruelty of this punishment at a glance, but she just sighed and said, "Ah Ying is so angry."

Prince Jing happened to walk in and heard the words: "Isn't it true? Anyone whose life is murdered like this will be very angry. If it were me, I wouldn't save her ashore. Sister Ah Ying is still too soft-hearted."

The Queen Mother glared at him: "What do you know? If A Ying doesn't save Yong Ning, can your imperial brother let her go?"

Prince Jing felt the same for Jiang Shiying and said, "Brother Huang is partial!"

Then, he walked up to the Queen Mother and said, "Brother Huang prefers Yongning, how about you prefer Sister Ah Ying? Otherwise Sister Ah Ying will be so sad."

As he spoke, he shook the Queen Mother's arm and begged him to agree.

The Queen Mother was originally in a dilemma between Jiang Shiying and Princess Yongning. After being begged by him, she finally couldn't bear it and said: "Okay, okay, the Ai family favors your sister A Ying. Stop swinging. The Ai family's health is going to be bad." I was shaken to pieces by you."

······

The next day, in the ear room of Jiangxue Pavilion.

Jiang Shiying was sitting on the soft couch by the window, with a thin blanket covering her knees and holding a heater in her hand to keep warm on her lower abdomen.

Her little day came last night, and just as Zhao Yuanshi said, this time her little day was extremely sad, and her whole body was weaker than ever before.

Lu Zhaolin did not go elsewhere because of this, but stayed at Jiangxue Pavilion to accompany her. When he hugged her to sleep, he even put his big hand on her lower abdomen to relieve her pain.

At that time, Jiang Shiying enjoyed his care, but at the same time she couldn't help but curse. Looking at his skillful appearance, she didn't know how many sisters in the harem he had done this for.

Just when I was thinking about this, I saw A Yuan walk in and said, "Mother, Hongying is here."

"Let her in."

Ah Yuan responded and went out to bring Hongying in.

Hongying followed A Yuan cautiously, her head slightly lowered, very polite.

"This servant pays homage to the noble concubine."

Jiang Shiying put the heater on the table aside and said, "Get up."

After Hongying stood up, Jiang Shiying smiled and said, "You don't have to be so restrained. I called you here to ask if you would like to serve me by my side in the future." ?”

She thought Hongying was good yesterday. Not only did she repay her kindness, she was also very clever.

After getting up this morning, I asked Yu Chengyi to check on her, especially the "gifts" that others had prepared for her in advance.

Yu Chengyi checked her carefully and confirmed that she had an innocent background. She had been serving in the palace for a year, doing odd jobs and had never been involved with any master.

The previous encounter at the Jiuqu Bridge was indeed a coincidence, and there was no trace of human intervention.

After confirming that there was no problem, Jiang Shiying asked Ayuan to bring her to Jiangxue Pavilion.

Hearing this, Hongying was surprised at first, and then hesitant.

A Yuan also had a good impression of this little palace maid. Seeing her reaction, he couldn't help but push her gently and said, "Why don't you agree to such a huge good thing?"

Hongying murmured: "Slave, slave."

Jiang Shiying was not annoyed, and just asked her: "But what's the difficulty?"

It is obvious which one has more future, staying with her or working as a handyman in the palace.

And judging from Hongying's behavior in front of her, this little girl obviously likes her very much.

In this case, she was hesitant to agree at this moment, maybe there was something inside.

Thinking of some of the things he noticed yesterday, Jiang Shiying had some suspicions in her mind, but they still needed to be verified.

Seeing that she spoke softly and did not get angry, Hongying became so scared and said: "It's not that I'm unwilling, I'm worried that I will bring trouble to the empress."

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows: "Oh? What's the trouble?"

Hongying glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then, as if she had made up her mind, asked: "Can the empress stand aside?"

Jiang Shiying winked, and the people waiting in the room left one after another. Ah Yuan opened all the doors and windows, and then went to guard the door in person.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the walls having ears.

Hongying knelt on the ground and said, "My slave came to the palace for a different purpose."

Without waiting for Jiang Shiying to ask, she continued: "My brother was involved in the death of the sixth prince two years ago and was executed for the crime of murdering the prince."

Jiang Shiying thought to herself, no wonder Hongying felt a little wrong when she saw Yu Zhaoyi yesterday.

At that time, no one else's attention was on such a little palace maid. Only she, who had the idea of ​​bringing Hongying to her side, paid more attention and realized that something was wrong.

Hongying continued to speak, her emotions a little excited: "But I know that he is not that kind of person, and he will never do anything to murder the prince. Therefore, I entered the palace just to find out the truth of this matter. To restore his innocence. I just didn’t expect that he would be arranged to be imprisoned in the palace.”

Jiang Shiying narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Your file is clean and it does not indicate that you have such a brother. Besides, if your brother died after murdering the prince, how did you survive?"

The crime of murdering the prince, not to mention the execution of the nine clans, at least the whole family had to be buried with him.

Hearing this, Hongying explained: "He is my neighbor's brother and we grew up together. In my heart, he is the same as my real brother.

On that day two years ago, everything was fine. Suddenly, many officials broke into the house next door, and the whole family was taken away. No one was left. At that time, the slaves heard them say, don't blame anyone else. If you want to blame, blame yourself for your bad luck. You have a son who is so bold that he dares to harm the sixth prince. "

Jiang Shiying asked: "In that case, shouldn't you agree to it? Otherwise, you will be in the palace all the time. When will you have the chance to find out about this matter?"
