Here, Jiang Fenghua arrived at Song Jing's palace and saw Song Jing playing with the second prince. She was like a good mother who loved her children. The second prince was strong and taller than other children of the same age.

Jiang Fenghua never treated other princes harshly and always treated them equally, so the second prince had a lot of new clothes.

When Song Jing saw Jiang Fenghua coming, her eyes were full of smiles. She stepped forward to greet him warmly and asked, "Why is the queen here?"

"I just took a walk and ended up at Jinghe Palace." Jiang Fenghua said, "I heard that Jinghe Palace has the most delicious food. I wonder if I can enjoy this."

Song Jing was also very happy. She asked Dong'er to bring the delicious fruits and snacks to Jiang Fenghua. "There are many delicious foods in my palace. Your Majesty, try this. It's soft and sweet. My parents asked someone to bring it to me."

Jiang Fenghua tasted a piece and said, "It's really delicious. Concubine Shu's parents really love you."

"Yes, they love me the most. Even after I got married, they still thought of me. It's a pity that I may never see them again in my lifetime." Thinking of her relatives, Song Jing's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

Jiang Fenghua held her hand and wiped the tears from her eyes, "You can still see your parents again if you have the chance."

Song Jing shook her head. "How could a woman who married into the harem possibly see them again, especially someone like me."

Jiang Fenghua suddenly remembered that among all the concubines who entered the palace, Song Jing seemed to be the only one who had not seen her parents. Every time a banquet was held in the palace, other concubines had the possibility to see their parents again. For example, Zhu Zhenzhen, because her father had a high official position, people from the Zhu family could enter the palace for every banquet.

Song Jing was different, she had no chance to see her father.

"If you miss your parents, you can bring them to Beijing for a reunion, or I will allow you to return home to visit your relatives."

Song Jing's eyes lit up, "Really? I can still see them."

"I promise you, yes." Jiang Fenghua was very sure.

"Thank you, Her Majesty. Since I entered the palace, you are the only one who has been kind to me. I am really grateful to you," she said again.

Jiang Fenghua walked to the desk and saw the scriptures on the table. She said, "Why are you still copying scriptures?" She had a good memory, and these scriptures were exactly the confession scriptures she had copied last time.

Song Jing's eyes became flustered, and she said, "I was just bored and wanted to practice calligraphy, so I just found some books to write."

"The handwriting is also very good. Concubine Shu must have put a lot of effort into it!" Jiang Fenghua praised. She clearly remembered that she did not see these scriptures when she came to Song Jing's bedroom last time. Perhaps she had hidden them on purpose, but why did she hide them?

Jiang Fenghua hugged the Second Prince again. The Second Prince also liked her very much. He kissed Jiang Fenghua on the cheek a few times and laughed.

Jiang Fenghua also kissed the second prince's little face and said with a smile, "The second prince has been raised so well by Concubine Shu. He is taller than other children of the same age. Concubine Shu, take good care of the second prince. He will surely be blessed in the future."

"Yes." Song Jing's mood suddenly became depressed. She didn't even dare to look into Jiang Fenghua's eyes. Now she couldn't sleep well every night.

Jiang Fenghua also noticed her panic and said to the nurse and Dong'er, "Take the Second Prince away. I will discuss Buddhist scriptures with Concubine Shu for a while."

The servants took the second prince away, and Nanny Wang also left, leaving Jiang Fenghua and Song Jing alone in the room.

Jiang Fenghua sat down at the desk, picked up a pen and began to copy. As she copied, she silently recited, "It is indeed not easy to calm down and copy Buddhist scriptures. I wonder if a person can really reduce the sins in her heart even if she reads these words attentively? Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and the six realms of reincarnation."

Song Jing had been afraid these days, and the corners of her mouth were trembling, "My Lady."

Jiang Fenghua's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, and she stared at Song Jing with a burning gaze, "I have seen the prayers you copied for the Third Prince. You were very attentive. You copied so many by yourself, right? You want to atone for your sins and confess to the Third Prince, is that right?"

Tears flowed from her eyes, "I..."

"Tell me, I came here just to hear your explanation." Jiang Fenghua slowed down his voice.

Song Jing suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears. "I was just thinking that he was so young, what had he done wrong? Why should he bear all this pain for his mother? I really didn't mean it. I can hide it from everyone else, but I can't hide it from myself, so I'm very scared. I always have nightmares at night. I dream of a child crying. It's the voice of the third prince. He looked at me as if asking for help, but I didn't save him."

After hearing this, Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "So the Third Prince could have been saved that night. How did the Third Prince die?"

"I saw the nurse feeding him medicine. I knew that giving children too much licorice soup was dangerous, but I didn't stop him. The nurse left the Third Prince alone in the side hall to go out and watch the fun. She probably thought that he would fall asleep after drinking the medicine, but he kept crying after being fed the medicine." Song Jing added, "I seemed to be possessed by a demon at the time. Seeing him cry made me very upset, so I swaddled the Third Prince more tightly, and then he stopped making any sounds."

Jiang Fenghua looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "So he was suffocated to death by you on purpose."

"I don't know. He stopped crying soon after. I didn't dare to open the swaddling clothes to see." Song Jing's eyes were full of regret. "Since that day, I couldn't sleep well every day. The crying of the third prince kept echoing in my ears. I was afraid that he was still a child."

"Why is Tang Qianran showing off her power? Didn't she become a royal concubine just because of her child?" Song Jing asked again.

Jiang Fenghua was in a complicated mood. She knew that Song Jing and Tang Qianran had a grudge against each other, and Song Jing must have been harboring hatred towards Tang Qianran when she did this.

She said, "I have some doubts in my heart, but the answer I hope to hear is that this matter has nothing to do with you. I even hope that you can persuade the Song family more. You are confused! No matter what, the third prince is the heir to the throne. Can you bear the crime of murdering the heir to the throne?"

"Song Jing, I know you are very smart. If a woman is too stupid, she won't be able to sit in your position. But if she is too smart, she may be harmed by her smartness. I am not as easy to talk to as you think, and I am not here to protect you. I still say that as long as you behave yourself, I will not treat you harshly."

"I'm sorry. I've always regretted it. I was wrong." She cried, "I really regret it. I'm also a mother, but I did something that was against the will of heaven. I've always felt guilty. I'm willing to do whatever punishment the queen wants to give me."

Jiang Fenghua said, "From now on, this matter will rot in your stomach. The third prince is destined to suffer this disaster. I hope he will be reborn into a good family."

After being reincarnated into Tang Qianran's belly and growing up, he was simply used by the Tang family.
