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

Hongying looked a little sad when she heard this, obviously knowing that Jiang Shiying was right.

But she said: "Your Majesty is a good person. I can't let myself let go of this matter, but I don't want to implicate your Majesty when I investigate this matter."

Jiang Shiying sighed slightly and asked, "What if you investigate to the end and find that he is not unjust?"

Hongying had obviously thought about this possibility. Hearing this, he only said: "That can be regarded as giving an explanation to the slave."

Jiang Shiying said warmly: "Get up."

Then he called A Yuan over and said, "A Yuan, from now on you will personally take Hongying with you."

Hongying didn't expect that Chungui concubine would still be willing to have her after knowing that she was in such trouble.

There was a flash of light in her eyes: "Mother."

Jiang Shiying smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't act recklessly, we will investigate carefully and it will not have any impact on me."

Besides, she had already planned to find out about this matter. Hongying's appearance not only did not bring her any trouble, but actually gave her a new opportunity.

Hongying promised: "I will not be reckless."

Then, she saw Jiang Shiying put away the smile on her face and said seriously: "Since I agreed to this matter, you must also agree to this matter. Don't be anxious or impulsive, okay?"

Hongying nodded vigorously: "All servants obey your Majesty's orders."

After saying this, Ah Yuan closed all the doors and windows, and then went to the small kitchen to bring her a bowl of ginger soup.

The doors and windows were opened so wide just now, it was a bit chilly after all.

Jiang Shiying took the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp without even frowning.

The ginger soup was just spicy. For someone like her who had died once, what could be unbearable?

Hongying went back to her residence to pack her things. After she finished packing her things, she would come to Jiangxue Pavilion to wait on her.

Jiang Shiying asked Ayuan to call Yu Chengyi over.

As soon as he entered the door, Yu Chengyi saluted with a smile and said: "This servant pays homage to the queen. Is there anything the queen would like to ask this servant to do?"

Jiang Shiying asked him: "Yesterday, I saw that the relationship between Yu Zhaoyi and Qi Concubine seemed to be very close?"

Yu Chengyi nodded and said: "As far as I know, Yu Zhaoyi and Qi Bin have known each other since childhood. They are Jinlan sisters who grew up together. Later, they also entered the palace together and supported each other in the harem.

Yu Zhaoyi usually has a calm personality. She doesn't like to join in the fun, and she doesn't talk much or compete for favors. Only when it comes to Concubine Qi's affairs, she will never sit idly by. "

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying's words contained a bit of sarcasm: "This concubine Qi is petty and impulsive, but she is very proficient in handling Yu Zhaoyi. Yu Zhaoyi usually looks calm and rational, but she When he meets Qi Concubine, he acts like a fool."

Yu Chengyi did not dare to say bad things about these ladies, so he only said: "You can see clearly."

Jiang Shiying asked again: "Has Yu Zhaoyi's temperament always been like this? She has no children but is the head of the nine concubines. She must have been favored, right?"

Yu Chengyi lowered his voice and said: "To answer the question, Yu Zhaoyi has never been a warm-hearted person. She was favored when she first entered the palace, and she gave birth to the sixth prince and almost became a concubine. It's a pity. Later, something happened to the Sixth Prince, and Yu Zhaoyi became cold towards Your Majesty. Your Majesty was very interested in her at first, but later he stopped going to Changxin Palace."

Jiang Shiying thought to herself that even if she didn't go to Changxin Palace very often, His Majesty must still be thinking about her. Otherwise, if she didn't bring it with her when she was going to escape the heat, Qi Bin wouldn't have pulled Yu Zhaoyi out if something happened.

She asked about the sixth prince again: "Why did the sixth prince disappear back then?"

Yu Chengyi said: "The sixth prince was only six months old at the time and died of the disease of disobedience."

Jiang Shiying frowned: "How could this be? It's six months old, isn't it still breastfeeding?"

Yu Chengyi nodded: "What the empress said is that one day, not long after the sixth prince finished feeding, his whole body suddenly became red and swollen, and he couldn't breathe. He died not long after."

Without waiting for Jiang Shiying to ask in detail, he continued: "Yu Zhaoyi has a problem with sesame seeds. Because she is worried that the sixth prince will be the same, the nannies have always dared not eat sesame seeds. But after the sixth prince's accident that day, The nannies' food was found to have been mixed with sesame powder.

Later, the remaining sesame powder was found in the room of the young eunuch who brought the meal. But the little eunuch has already hanged himself. Once the matter is investigated here, the subsequent clues will be cut off. "

Jiang Shiying sighed: "It's really hard for children in this palace to survive."

······

In the afternoon, Jiang Shiying took a rest.

After waking up, I took a storybook and lay on the rocking chair to read attentively.

When Lu Zhaolin entered the door, he motioned to everyone to be silent, then quietly walked around behind her and took the notebook out of her hand.

Jiang Shiying had obviously heard his footsteps, but she just didn't notice them.

At this time, the book in his hand was taken away, and he raised his head. When he saw him, he showed a surprised smile: "Your Majesty!"

Seeing that she was about to get up, Lu Zhaolin gently pressed his hand on her shoulder and said, "No need to be polite."

Jiang Shiying still sat in the rocking chair obediently, but turned sideways, otherwise it would be very tiring to keep her neck raised.

"Why is Your Majesty here?"

Lu Zhaolin tapped her nose: "I am thinking about the pain in your lower abdomen, so I have to take a look at you to feel relieved."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying said: "Your Majesty is so kind!"

Lu Zhaolin closed the book in his hand, looked at the title on the cover, and asked: "Didn't you read this "Legend of Swordsman" a few days ago? Why haven't you finished it yet?"

Jiang Shiying said: "I've finished watching it a long time ago. Ah Ying is watching it for the second time."

Lu Zhaolin took her hand and took her up from the couch, and the two of them walked to the soft couch.

Some curiously asked: "Is it so good-looking? It actually made Ah Ying read it again?"

There was some yearning in Jiang Shiying's tone: "It's not that the plot has many twists and turns, or the writing is brilliant, it's just that the protagonist in this book can wipe out all injustices in the world with a sword in his hand, and she feels yearned for it."

Lu Zhaolin secretly thought that it was no wonder. Judging from her consistent behavior, she was not like a girl in a boudoir, but rather showed a bit of chivalry.

If she hadn't been born in this capital city and into a high-ranking family, she would have become a chivalrous figure in the world.

For some reason, Lu Zhaolin didn't want to continue on this topic and turned to talk about something else: "Is there a new little palace maid in your yard? She looks familiar to me."

The little palace maid Lu Zhaolin mentioned was Hongying.

Jiang Shiying felt that the big hand holding hers was getting tighter, and she didn't know what he had thought just now.

Hearing him mention Hongying, he said what he had prepared all morning: "Your Majesty has good eyesight. Isn't Hongying the little palace maid who was at Muxizhai yesterday?"

When she said this, Lu Zhaolin also thought about it and asked, "Are you asking her to come over? I didn't expect that she would fall in love with you."

Jiang Shiying said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Aying mentioned to your Majesty that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, she helped a little palace maid who was bullied at Jiuqu Lianqiao?"

After listening to her words, Lu Zhaolin thought for a moment, and indeed he had some impressions. At that time, he also joked that Jiang Shiying was punishing evil and promoting good.

When she mentioned this matter, Lu Zhaolin had some suspicions in his mind, so he asked, "Could it be her?"

Jiang Shiying nodded, and then told her about Hongying's loud warning to be careful yesterday, and then cleverly went to get the quilt.

Finally, she concluded: "Ah Ying likes her for being repaying kindness and being smart and sensible, so she asked her to come over."

Lu Zhaolin said: "As you said, she is pretty good."

At this time, Hongying happened to follow Ayuan to serve the meal.

Lu Zhaolin called her over and asked, "You told Mrs. Su yesterday that you saw her talking to Princess Yongning two days ago. Is this true?"

Hongying was a little nervous, but she was still well-behaved.

She bowed first, and then said: "To answer your Majesty's question, I want to deceive her."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaolin laughed and said to Jiang Shiying, "He is really smart."

Jiang Shiying said: "Please forgive her for yesterday's crime of deceiving the emperor."

Lu Zhaolin was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all. He waved his hands and said, "It's just a temporary measure."
