Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

"General, I heard that something happened here, so I came here specially to see you." Prince Yu walked in, took a look at the situation inside the house, and understood a little bit in his mind.

Prince Jin has taken the bait.

Jiang Zhongyong quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"

Prince Yu dodged slightly and pretended to be puzzled: "What is going on?"

Jiang Zhongyong recounted what had happened, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

Prince Yu looked at Prince Jin, "Brother Prince Jin, what do you have to say?"

King Jin said: "I really don't know about this matter. Someone must have framed me."

"Since it's a frame-up, let's search it!" Lin Muheng said lazily.

"I have the same idea. Search!" King Jin was eager to search right now and would not hesitate for a moment.

As long as the letters exchanged with the enemy country are found in the general's mansion, the general's mansion will be convicted.

The content of the letter also involved Prince Yu.

Lin Mushen looked at Prince Yu. Although he was very excited, he didn't show it on his face. "I wonder if Prince Jin came to the General's Mansion late at night just to watch the fun? Or did Prince Jin know from the beginning that something would happen in the General's Mansion?"

"I don't have such ability. I came here because my mother is ill and I want to invite Miss Jiang to the palace for treatment." Lin Mushen hurriedly explained his purpose.

"There are so many doctors in the palace, but I just can't understand why Brother Jin has to come to see my fiancée in the middle of the night."

Lin Muheng didn't give Prince Jin any face at all.

Lin Mushen: ...

In front of outsiders, don't you even pretend?

"Hmph, my mother cannot be treated by an ordinary imperial physician. Only Miss Jiang's medical skills can cure my mother's illness." Prince Jin argued speciously.

"Oh? Really?" Lin Muheng's eyes turned cold.

At this time, a guard came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, a suspicious letter was found in the study."

Prince Jin was delighted. Sure enough, there was evidence! He looked at Lin Muheng and saw that he and Jiang Zhongyong both had grim expressions.

"Present it!" Lin Muheng said.

The guard handed the letter to Lin Muheng. He opened it and saw that the handwriting on it was clearly from Prince Jin.

"Prince Jin, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Muheng looked at Prince Jin coldly.

Prince Jin snatched the letter

This...what's written in the letter is a mess.

"This... this letter was not written by me! This is a false accusation!" Prince Jin was so angry that he almost died.

"False accusation? The handwriting above is yours. Is there anyone who dares to imitate your handwriting?" Lin Muheng asked back.

Lin Mushen found the handwriting on it unbelievable.

Who copied his handwriting? It's exactly the same.

Jiang Zhongyong reached out and took the letter: "Your Highness Prince Jin, I wonder what you mean by this?"

The letter only described how Prince Jin and Prince Xiang's palace planned for Jiang Chuwei to fall into the water and how they hid among the lotus flowers, and how they almost succeeded.

After reading it, Jiang Zhongyong questioned King Jin why he did this?

Does he feel that the General's Mansion can do nothing about him?

"I also want to know who is so bold as to frame me!" Prince Jin glared at the people around him.

In fact, his heart was already in turmoil.

He knew he had been fooled.

He fell into the trap set by Prince Yu and General Jiang.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated to clear Prince Jin's name." Lin Muheng said calmly.

"The General's Mansion will cooperate with the investigation." Jiang Zhongyong stated his attitude.

The two of them sang together.

At this time, Prince Yu said: "This matter is of great importance, let's leave it to the emperor to handle."

Everyone agreed.

"No!" Lin Mushen was horrified.

The emperor was already displeased with him because of what happened at the Prince of Xiang's Mansion.

He had already been punished, and now this matter has been brought up again, involving the General's Mansion and Prince Yu.

My father will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

He could no longer hide the fact that he wanted to frame someone.

Lin Mushen said forcefully, "This is not my handwriting. Someone imitated it. It was not me who caused Miss Jiang from the Xiang Palace to fall into the water that day."

Lin Mushen was really anxious.

If he was punished by the emperor for this matter again and again.

Where is his dignity? It would be fine if he succeeded, but he failed and made the whole city know about it. He is the only one who has done this.

Prince Yu said: "Let's put this matter aside for now. When I find out the truth, I will give an explanation to the General's Mansion..."

"Investigate? How can we investigate?" Lin Mushen interrupted Prince Yu.

"Keep searching!" Lin Muheng said.

Prince Jin saw that Lin Muheng had his men turn the study upside down, but they did not find any evidence.

"Someone must have framed me on purpose!" Lin Mushen said gritting his teeth.

At this time, a guard came hurriedly and whispered a few words in Lin Muheng's ear. Lin Muheng's face became very ugly.

"Your Highness, someone has come from the palace and said that His Majesty wants to summon you," said the guard.

Lin Mushen was shocked, and he knew that this time he was in trouble. He glanced at Lin Muheng and Jiang Zhongyong, sighed helplessly, and followed the guards to the palace.

In the palace, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at Lin Mushen with a gloomy face.

"I have heard about your story. What do you have to say?" asked the emperor.

"I am innocent! This letter was definitely not written by me, and I have no intention of harming Miss Jiang." Lin Mushen quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

What he couldn't understand was why the news about his father came so quickly.

The emperor looked at him coldly, "I have already sent people to check, and this letter was indeed written by you. Moreover, there are witnesses who saw you at the scene. Do you still dare to quibble?"

Lin Mushen was suddenly speechless. He didn't expect that the emperor would find the evidence so quickly.

But it’s been so long since this happened, why are we still holding on to it?

Lin Mushen thought so and said it out loud.

Emperor Rong Sheng said, "Why do you think I should bring this up again, or let Jiang Zhongyong report you?"

Lin Mushen was speechless.

He was in the wrong today.

What he couldn't understand was who could have the ability to imitate his handwriting so exactly the same.

If he had not remembered that he had not written the letter, even he would have thought that the handwriting was his own.

General House

After Lin Mushen left, Jiang Zhongyong and Lin Muheng's faces turned dark.

Lin Mushen wants to put the general's mansion to death.

Looking at the long letter in his hand, which was stuffed into the secret compartment of the study by the man in black.

If this letter were really found, the general's house would be confiscated and he would be exiled.

Ye Feng stood aside proudly.

He had acquired a lot of skills since he was a child. As long as he had seen someone's handwriting, he could make it look real.

The prince asked him to write this letter before sending him to the general's mansion.

He still has a dozen or so letters on him?

He replaced all the places where the man in black had placed the letters.

Prince Jin's plan failed.

As long as General Hu keeps insisting on this matter, saying that Prince Jin wrote this letter with the intention of ruining the reputation of the future Princess Yu.

In order to calm the situation, the emperor will scold Prince Jin once again.

Prince Jin lost several assassins and was punished. It’s a relief to think about it.

Lin Muheng looked at Ye Feng sharply, and Ye Feng quickly put away his smile: "You did a good job this time. You go down first."

"Yes." Ye Feng bowed respectfully.

After Ye Feng left, Lin Muheng angrily crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball, "This Lin Mushen is so vicious!"

Jiang Zhongyong sighed deeply, "Now we can only swallow our anger temporarily. However, this time, thanks to Ye Feng, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Lin Muheng nodded, "It seems that we have to be more careful in the future. Regarding Wei'er's matter, will I seek justice for her?"

Jiang Zhongyong was silent for a moment. "This matter concerns the royal family's reputation. We cannot act rashly. Let's wait for His Majesty's order."

But sooner or later, the account with Prince Jin will be settled.

*

The general's mansion returned to its former tranquility.

But Jiang Zhongyong knew that when the weather was calm,

If Prince Jin fails to frame someone this time, he will try again.

He and Prince Yu have a life-and-death relationship.

Because of this incident, the emperor only reprimanded Prince Jin and did not pursue the matter further.

After all, Concubine Zheng still has some weight in the emperor's heart.

There is no need to punish the same thing twice.

It's just that Jiang Zhongyong was wronged.

In order to appease the Jiang family, Concubine Zheng specially organized a flower-viewing banquet.

Ever since the crown prince passed away, the queen has been like an invisible person and has not taken care of anything.

Concubine Zheng got half of the power to manage the six palaces.

Now Concubine Zheng is enjoying her glory.

So in order to show their rights.

Concubine Zheng, who was described as seriously ill by Prince Jin, soon arranged a flower-viewing banquet.

Even Mrs. Jiang was among the invited guests.

She specially sent her capable nanny to the Jiang Mansion to invite someone, as this was the only family with this honor.

After receiving the invitation, Mrs. Jiang began to prepare for the banquet. She knew that this was not just a simple banquet, but also a contest of power.

On the day of the banquet, all dignitaries came in droves, and the scene was extremely lively. However, behind this superficial prosperity, there were countless undercurrents.

Concubine Zheng was wearing gorgeous clothes and sitting in the main seat with a smug smile on her face. She looked around and her eyes fell on Madam Jiang, with a barely perceptible cunning flashing in her eyes.

As the music sounded, the dancers began to dance. The guests present were all intoxicated by the wonderful atmosphere. However, Mrs. Jiang remained alert, as she knew that this banquet would not be so peaceful.

Jiang Chuwei has now become accustomed to entering the palace.

As long as you don't walk around and look around randomly in the palace and be more careful, there will be no problem.

But everyone in the palace is very cautious. After three rounds of drinking, Concubine Zheng suddenly stood up, raised her glass, and smiled at Madam Jiang: "Today I am inviting you all to a banquet, first to celebrate the coming of winter, and second to thank Madam Jiang for her support." After that, she took a sip of the wine in the glass.

Who would believe this?

Prince Yu will soon be Madam Jiang's son-in-law. How could Madam Jiang possibly support Concubine Zheng?

But since the imperial concubine said so, others just listened.

Everyone responded and praised Concubine Zheng's benevolence. Madam Jiang also raised her glass and responded cautiously.

Concubine Zheng went on to say, "I heard that Miss Jiang is very talented. Why don't you sing a song to help us get in the mood for drinking?" Her eyes fell straight on Jiang Chuwei, with a hint of provocation.

Jiang Chuwei agreed with a smile: "I am not talented, but since the imperial concubine has such a refined taste, I will not be polite. I will just make a painting!"

"Haha, painting? You really overestimate your abilities." A voice came.

"Ruofeng, don't be unreasonable!" Mrs. Yao scolded.

As long as Yao Ruofeng is around, she will confront Jiang Chuwei. Jiang Chuwei raised her lips slightly and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Then Miss Ruofeng, are you willing to show off your skills?"

Seeing this, Concubine Zheng smiled and said, "You two are both talented women. Why don't you show off your talents and let us feast our eyes on you."

Yao Ruofeng snorted coldly, and then ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Soon, a lifelike flower and bird painting appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone present praised it highly, except Jiang Chuwei, who shook her head slightly and said softly, "The painting is good, but it's too artificial."

Yao Ruofeng was immediately furious. "How dare you say such outrageous words!"

Jiang Chuwei smiled without saying anything, picked up the brush, and with just a few strokes, she sketched out a landscape painting. After the painting was completed, everyone was shocked, and after a moment of silence, they burst into applause.

Concubine Zheng stared at the painting, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "Miss Jiang is indeed a hidden talent. This painting is profound and truly a masterpiece."

Yao Ruofeng's face turned pale, and she glared at Jiang Chuwei fiercely without saying anything. This small competition ended with Jiang Chuwei's victory.

She knew that this was a trap set by Concubine Zheng, but in full view of the public,

Jiang Chuwei wouldn't hide anything either.

“Painting landscapes is not a big deal. You have to paint with your own characteristics to convince others.”

The person who spoke was Concubine Zheng’s niece.

Jiang Chuwei looked at her and felt that she looked unfamiliar.

Jiang Chuwei smiled and responded, "Then I wonder what this lady has to say?" Concubine Zheng's niece chuckled and said proudly, "Of course I can paint. But what's the point of just competing in painting? How about adding some stakes?" Jiang Chuwei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What do you want to bet on?" "If I win, you kowtow to me and admit that you are not as good as me."

Concubine Zheng's niece Zheng Yu looked at her aggressively. Jiang Chuwei laughed and said fearlessly: "Okay, if I lose, I will do it. But what if you lose?" "I..." Zheng Yu was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Concubine Zheng stepped out to smooth things over and said, "How about this, if you lose, you will give the jade bracelet on your hand to Miss Jiang. And if Miss Jiang loses, she will give you her necklace, how about that?" The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

When the competition started, Concubine Zheng's niece picked up her brush and began to paint carefully. However, when she saw Jiang Chuwei's painting, her face turned extremely ugly.

Jiang Chuwei only drew a human skeleton.

How can this be considered a painting?

"Jiang Chuwei, who are you looking down on?" Zheng Yu said angrily.

"The Emperor has arrived!" Everyone knelt down to welcome him.

Concubine Zheng walked over to greet the emperor with a smile on her face.

Today, the emperor came to save her face.

The queen seemed to have changed into a different person. Apart from worshipping Buddha every day, she no longer had any thoughts of jealousy. Concubine Zheng became the only one in power in the palace.
