After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

After Concubine Jin arrived at the Zhengde Hall, Emperor Deshun asked Concubine Jin about cutting off Nan Qiuzhi's face. Concubine Jin said indifferently:

"She is not dead, is she? That does not prevent His Majesty from ordering the Inspector General to interrogate her about the Nanxiang Kingdom."

Emperor Deshun stared at Concubine Jin and said, "You have always been a virtuous person, and you don't like to compete with others. You usually eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in Wan'en Palace. If you bear a grudge against the Fourth Prince, you can tell me clearly. After the Training and Criminal Supervisor has finished interrogating Nan Qiuzhi, I will hand her over to you and let you deal with her as you wish."

Concubine Jin raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, and said truthfully: "Since I entered the palace, I knew that Your Majesty had someone in his heart, and his only wish was to have a son or a daughter, so that I could have a place to rest in the palace.

If you can choose, Your Majesty would like to win the heart of one person and stay with him till old age, and I would naturally do the same.

Since I entered the palace, Your Majesty granted me the Wan'en Palace because of my maternal family, which aroused the jealousy of the Empress and Concubine Chen. They were afraid that after Concubine Li passed away, I would replace Concubine Li in Your Majesty's heart.

They were also afraid that I would give birth to a fourth prince, which would pose a threat to them as well as Prince Rui and Prince Jin. How could they not harm me?

In this life, I cannot hope to receive your majesty's favor, and I cannot keep my only prince as my companion. What can I do? I can only eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in Wan'en Palace, stay indoors, and wait for the day when I can avenge my son who died young.

Your Majesty asked me why I didn't wait for the prison guard to finish questioning Nan Qiuzhi before handing her over to me for punishment, because I knew how cruel the prison guard's punishment was, and I didn't know whether Nan Qiuzhi would be alive or dead at that time."

After Concubine Li passed away, Emperor Deshun appointed the daughter of the Grand Marshal as Concubine Jin and brought her into the palace in order to check and balance the Empress. Now, listening to Concubine Jin's story, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Thinking back to the time when Emperor Deshun had met Concubine Jin once before she entered the palace, she was even more lively and active than Princess July. Although she did not have a stunning appearance, she was skilled in riding and archery, and her superb sword dance was talked about with great relish by the aristocratic families in the capital at that time.

Since the death of the Fourth Prince, Concubine Jin's temperament changed drastically. Emperor Deshun never saw Concubine Jin smile as happily or ride a horse as freely as before.

With a sigh, Emperor Deshun said, "Since you entered the palace, you have never returned to the Taiwei Mansion. If you feel upset, tell your mother. I will ask Yunxi to prepare some rewards, and you can return to the Taiwei Mansion to stay for a few days."

Concubine Jin lowered her eyes, kowtowed to thank Emperor Deshun for his grace, knelt on the ground for a long time and asked: "Why did your majesty let me raise Princess Yongle?"

Emperor Deshun stood up and walked to Concubine Jin, helped her up and said, "I owe you a prince, I don't know how to make it up to you."

Concubine Jin was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long while, she raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, can you grant me a favor?"

"You say!" Emperor Deshun said, putting his arm around Concubine Jin's shoulders.

Concubine Jin said, "I want to go to the cold palace to see Concubine Chen for the last time."

"Does it have to be this way?" asked Emperor Deshun.

Concubine Jin pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

After a moment, Emperor Deshun said, "Wait a few more days, the former dynasty is unstable now."

"it is good!"

Afterwards, Emperor Deshun invited Concubine Jin to have dinner in the Zhengde Hall. It is unknown what the two of them talked about in private.

But that night Concubine Jin took off her monk's robe and stayed overnight in the Zhengde Hall.

The next day, Yunxi came to Jingshou Palace and told the Empress Dowager that Emperor Deshun wanted to promote Concubine Jin to Noble Concubine Jin and asked the Empress Dowager what she thought.

The Queen Mother's eyebrows moved slightly, and she smiled and said, "It should be so. There are only two concubines in the harem. Find a suitable time to ask His Majesty when the selection will be held."

Yun Xi agreed and left Jingshou Palace.

Prince An was busy assisting Emperor Deshun in dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty. Lin Luoling had been bored these days in Jingtai Pavilion. When she woke up every day, Prince An had already left, and when she went to bed, Prince An had not returned yet.

Unconsciously, half a month had passed. When Lin Luoling woke up from her nap, she heard Biyou outside the door announcing, "The Concubine Xian and Princess Qinglan are here."

Xiangjin helped Lin Luoling change her clothes and put on her makeup, and Hualian invited Concubine Xian and Princess Qinglan into the palace first.

Qinglan blinked, ran to the bedroom without any scruples, and said to Lin Luoling mysteriously: "Sister-in-law... I heard from the eunuchs and palace maids this morning that Concubine Chen died in the cold palace."

"Ah?" Lin Luoling, who was holding the phoenix hairpin, paused and turned to look at Qinglan.

Qinglan had a pair of big eyes, with extremely clear eyes. She said with fear along her chest: "The eunuchs and palace maids said something very scary. They said that there were demons and ghosts who ate Concubine Chen's face and broke Concubine Chen's throat. Qinglan was so scared!"

Just as Princess Qinglan finished speaking, Concubine Xian shouted at her from outside the bedroom door: "Qinglan, how can you trust the words of the eunuchs and palace maids? Don't tell lies and scare your sister-in-law."

When Lin Luoling went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager early in the morning, she heard Aunt Shi Mi report that Concubine Chen had died in the cold palace.

At that time, the Queen Mother said with a smile: "He has done too many evil things in the past, and he deserves to die. Just bury him properly."

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager and Aunt Shi Mi tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

Lin Luoling was not stupid. If Concubine Xian didn't want Qinglan to talk about Concubine Chen, she would have reminded Qinglan before coming to Jingtai Pavilion. Why would she let Qinglan break into her bedroom and tell the whole story before scolding Qinglan?

It seems that Concubine Xian knew that Concubine Chen's death was related to Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin served Emperor Deshun four or five times in the past few days, so Concubine Xian deliberately asked Qinglan to tell her about this matter so that Prince An could know about it through her.

Lin Luoling didn't want to get involved in the harem's struggle, nor did she want to be used as a knife by Concubine Xian, so she covered her chest with a look of shock and said with an unsteady breath: "Is what Princess Qinglan said true?"

Immediately, Lin Luoling's eyes rolled back and she fainted in Xiangjin's arms, frightening Xiangjin so much that she shouted, "Hua Lian, quickly ask Biyou to go to the Imperial Pharmacy to summon the imperial physician. The young lady may be suffering from palpitations."

Upon hearing this, Hualian placed the tea she had just brewed on the table, and ran in holding her skirt. While shouting, Biyou and Bizhi entered the hall one after another.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian said nothing, entered the palace and held Qinglan in her arms, carefully observing Lin Luoling's face, and said, "Does Princess An have palpitations?"

Biyou and Bizhi nodded in unison.

Biyou said, "Half a year ago, my young lady suffered from palpitations. When she was in Xuzhou, Chen Yin took good care of her. She hasn't had any attacks for three or four months. What happened today?"

Bizhi glanced at the gesture Lin Luoling placed on her chest, and understood what she meant. She said to Biyou and Hualian, "Help Princess An to the couch first. I'll go to the Imperial Pharmacy to invite the imperial physician."

Concubine Xian sighed with a worried look on her face: "What should I do? Why did I suddenly have palpitations?"

Bizhi left Jingtai Pavilion and pretended not to know the direction of Shangyaosi, and asked the palace maids and eunuchs of Jingshou Palace one after another.

Soon, the Queen Mother and Aunt Shi Mi learned about this.

Bizhi went to the Imperial Pharmacy to ask for the imperial physician, which caused such a big commotion that it alarmed Emperor Deshun and Prince An.

Before the imperial physician finished examining Lin Luoling's pulse, Prince An entered Jingtai Pavilion.

Yun Xi's voice came from behind, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Hearing the voice, Concubine Xian's eyes were filled with shock. She turned around and saw Prince An entering the palace with a gloomy face.
