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

Du Zhong took a few deep breaths before he could finish his words.

It turned out that Prince Jin had committed suicide in Concubine Chen's palace. In the morning, when the Silver Feather Guards entered the palace to deliver food, they found that Prince Jin's body was already cold.

Lin Luoling didn't know whether Prince Jin really felt that he had no way out and chose to commit suicide, or whether Emperor Deshun and the Queen Mother secretly killed Prince Jin.

In short, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The King of Jin will inevitably die if he returns to the capital.

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows, looking very sad, and sighed: "Why is the Prince of Jin so depressed? Last night, Your Majesty discussed with me and planned to let the Prince of Jin go to Xuzhou in the capital to repent. Alas..."

If the Queen Mother really loved Prince Jin, she would definitely go to take a look after learning that Prince Jin committed suicide. Why would she say such sad words here?

Afterwards, the Queen Mother asked Du Zhong, "Has your Majesty gone yet?"

Du Zhong replied, "Your Majesty originally wanted to go, but Deputy Marshal Fang, who followed the two officials to the capital Xuzhou, came to the palace to report that the two officials had not yet entered the capital Xuzhou when they encountered bandits on the way, and none of the officials and their families survived. Your Majesty was furious and ordered General Dou and Deputy Marshal Fang to kill the bandits."

Encountering bandits again?

Lin Luoling knew that the two officials would not end well, but he didn't want them to die so soon.

The Queen Mother claimed that she felt chest tightness and asked Shi Mi to call the imperial physician from the Imperial Pharmacy to Jingshou Palace. She turned her eyes to Lin Luoling and said:

"You don't have to stay in the palace. The King of Jin has passed away, and there will be a lot of funeral arrangements. You should go back home early. I guess Yun Xi will go to read the imperial edict soon. It will be inappropriate if you are not here."

How could Emperor Deshun not know that she had come to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager's words clearly meant to send her away so that she could discuss with Emperor Deshun what to do after the death of the Prince of Jin.

Therefore, Lin Luoling bid farewell to the Queen Mother, left the palace and returned home.

Just as the Queen Mother said, after she returned home and had just finished a cup of tea, Yun Xi came to read the imperial edict, and Prince An was named Crown Prince and Lin Luoling was named Crown Princess.

He knelt down to express his gratitude, took the imperial edict, and chatted with Yun Xi for a few words. Yun Xi then left with a smile.

Gu Shun must have known that Prince An was going to become the crown prince. Not long after Yun Xi left, Gu Shun found a few reliable guards and hung a plaque with three big black and gold characters on it above the door of the new mansion: Crown Prince's Mansion.

Because Prince An was canonized as the Crown Prince, the number of palace maids and eunuchs in the Crown Prince's Mansion, which is part of the Eastern Palace, is fixed.

After lunch, the Ministry of Education sent many palace maids and eunuchs for Lin Luoling to choose from.

Lin Luoling found this too cumbersome and decided to prepare gifts for Princess July and Jiang Chi with Hualian Xiangjin.

So I just handed the matter over to Gu Shun to handle.

After Gu Shun finished choosing, he reported to Lin Luoling. Lin Luoling knew that Gu Shun was the old man who had looked after Prince Gu An and had served Concubine Li, so she did not treat him as a servant, but rather like her half-father-in-law. Her sincerity touched Gu Shun, and he felt very warm in his heart.

Lin Luoling personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Shun and said, "In terms of how to behave in the palace, Chief Eunuch Gu is much more experienced than me. I like quietness and grew up in an ordinary family. What I hate most are the palace maids and eunuchs who are talkative, scheming, and gossiping.

It would be better for these people sent by the Ministry of Education to stay in the outer courtyard first. Gu Zongguan helps His Royal Highness Prince An and me to observe them on weekdays. If there are any good ones, they can be sent to us, so that we can save ourselves the trouble. "

Gu Shun took the teacup handed over by Lin Luoling and said, "The Crown Princess does not treat me as an outsider, so I will not hide anything from you.

The maids and eunuchs sent by the Ministry of Education today are not a big deal, but the two aunts have to stay in the inner courtyard.

The Crown Princess does not need to assign them any errands. Just give them enough monthly wages and give them some rewards from time to time to keep them quiet. "

"I wonder who those two aunts are?" Lin Luoling asked, knowing the answer well.

Gu Shun said: "Aunt Shi Mi used to use two aunts. I think they thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess had just set up their palace, so they sent two aunts to help manage it."

As he spoke, Gu Shun stretched out his hand to cover the corner of his mouth and said with a low laugh, "They are just one of us. They are just going through the motions."

Lin Luoling suddenly realized that although the Queen Mother and Emperor Deshun doted on Prince An and Prince An had always been the designated Crown Prince, Prince An had deployed his spies in the palace early on in order to find out what was going on in the palace.

Lin Luoling smiled at Gu Shun and said, "Then let General Manager Gu take care of them. The monthly salary will also be determined by General Manager Gu. As for what to do for them, all matters in the mansion will be left to General Manager Gu to handle. When they have free time, just come to my place to report for work."

Although he said so, Gu Shun was a man who knew how to judge things in a proper way, and he would report every day, big or small, to Lin Luoling.

Before it got dark, Prince An Qin Yan returned to his palace. After being named the crown prince, he was dressed completely differently from before, no longer as plain and elegant as before. Whether viewed from afar or up close, Qin Yan's entire body gradually revealed the luxury and elegance that a crown prince should have, with his graceful demeanor and bearing.

After dinner, Lin Luoling asked the Crown Prince Qin Yan, "Today I went to the Imperial Grandmother's Jingshou Palace. I heard that the two officials who were going to Xuzhou in Beijing encountered bandits on the way. When the Emperor found out, he was furious."

Prince Qin Yan said with a smile: "If they want to enter Jingxuzhou, they will definitely pass by Jingfu Temple. The nuns in Jingfu Temple are seven or eight times more ferocious than the bandits. Do you really think that the nuns in Jingfu Temple are just collecting the unknown secrets of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Jingxuzhou for me?"

Lin Luoling said: "How could I think that? Although I know that they are the female soldiers trained by you, I didn't expect that the two officials could not even enter Jingxuzhou, and their entire family lost their lives."

Prince Qin Yan said: "Their whole family was coerced by my father, so they had no choice but to collude with Jiang Chi to trick the Prince of Jin into the palace and let them go. I am afraid that they will not keep their mouths shut in the future, which will be disadvantageous to me."

"That's right!" Lin Luoling agreed.

Later, Lin Luoling learned from Crown Prince Qin Yan that Prince Jin did not commit suicide. Although Qin Yan did not tell Lin Luoling how Prince Jin died, Lin Luoling guessed that it was either Emperor Deshun or the Queen Mother who did it.

As a result, the next day, Emperor Deshun issued two imperial edicts. The first one was that Prince Jin returned to the capital without an imperial edict. Emperor Deshun angrily rebuked Prince Jin for being ignorant of his crime and instead wanting to rebel. Fortunately, the crown prince led his troops to quell the war in Dongyang Mountain and ensured the safety of high-ranking officials and people in the capital.

Jiang Chi was not mentioned in any sentence. Later, Lin Luoling learned that Emperor Deshun originally wanted to reward Jiang Chi at the morning court, but Jiang Chi gave up the reward and begged Emperor Deshun to exempt him from the morning court.

Emperor Deshun was of course happy to give all the credit to Crown Prince Qin Yan, so he agreed immediately.

The second imperial edict stated that the beauties previously selected by various states and prefectures should be sent to the capital within half a month, and the Imperial Household Department was ordered to register the unmarried daughters of high-ranking officials of the third rank who had reached the age of marriageable age.

Hualian twisted her handkerchief in her hand, and said uncertainly: "Didn't His Majesty say before that the selection of concubines should be put on hold? Why did he ask the prefectures to send concubines again? And he also asked the Internal Affairs Bureau to register the unmarried daughters of the third-rank officials.

Miss, is His Majesty going to select a beauty pageant for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? After all..."

Hualian did not say what came next, but everyone understood it in their hearts. Now Emperor Deshun only had a crown prince, Qin Yan, and no other princes. Emperor Deshun’s brothers had all been buried in the royal tombs long ago.

Even though Crown Prince Qin Yan treated Lin Luoling as a treasure, Lin Luoling was poisoned by a cold. Doctor Pang boiled medicine for Lin Luoling every day and gave her acupuncture. Chen Yin also moved into the Crown Prince's Mansion to prepare medicinal food for Lin Luoling, but Lin Luoling's cold poison was not cured at all, but became worse.

In this case, Lin Luoling's wish to have children is pure delusion. Although she has not yet married Crown Prince Qin Yan, it does not prevent Emperor De Shun and the Queen Mother from selecting concubines and maids for Qin Yan. If one of them is lucky enough to give birth to a son, then Emperor De Shun and the Queen Mother will be able to rest assured, right?
