Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin

Not two days after this incident, another shocking news came out of the palace.

Concubine Zhang Jiashu died.

Wan Ning and Rong Xian looked at each other, and they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes.

The last time they greeted Concubine Zhang Jiashu, they also met Concubine Zhang Jiashu, and Concubine Zhang Jiashu was still doing well at that time.It's only been a few days, how can it be gone?

Rong Xian hesitated: "Do you think she has something to do with this matter?"

What happened recently made it clear that someone was planning to harm the third child and the crown prince. At this juncture, Concubine Zhang Jiashu, who was healthy and healthy, suddenly disappeared.

How could Rong Xian not think about such a coincidence?

Wan Ning frowned, she slowly shook her head, "I can't tell. If it was her, what would she want? Among these brothers, Thirteen has no advantage at all."

In terms of background, Zhang Jia was born in Baoyi, although she enjoyed the treatment of a concubine, she was actually a concubine with no rank.

In terms of ability, the elder brothers are all excellent, and the civil and military thirteen are not the top-notch.

Besides doting, she admitted that the emperor dotes on Shisan very much, but then again, who does the emperor not dote on?The crown prince, the young eighteenth brother, even the elder brother and the third elder brother are favored over Thirteen.

Wan Ning is no stranger to Elder Brother Thirteen, she found out that Elder Thirteen did have some petty thoughts, but he figured it out himself, these petty thoughts were extinguished later.And Shisan is a righteous person, if you ask him for something, he will definitely help you with it.

If Shisan has the mind of a superior, she will believe it.But she wouldn't believe it if he said that he would take advantage of children and beat them to death.

But the death of concubine Zhang Jiashu was really strange.

When Wan Ning and Rong Xian arrived, the White Cloth had already been hung up in the Palace of Eternal Harmony, so there was no need to say that the two walked in quickly.Then I saw the coffin of Concubine Zhang Jiashu parked in her residence in the back hall of the Yonghe Palace. The thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang and the two princesses born to the thirteenth Fujin Zhaojia family, the side Fujin Wanyan family and Zhang Jiashu concubine stood upright. kneeling there.

After burning a stick of incense, Wan Ning said, "My thirteenth brother, thirteenth brother and sister, eighth sister, and tenth sister are mourning."

Yinxiang saluted her, weeping uncontrollably: "Thank you second sister and third sister-in-law."

With a sigh, the two left the mourning hall.

On the way, Princess Rong Xian said: "Do you think the mourning hall is a bit rudimentary?"

To say it's shabby is polite, if it wasn't for her natal family, Princess Rongxian would have wanted to say the word shabby.

Didn't it mean that Concubine Zhang Jiashu enjoyed the treatment of a concubine?Neither the white cloth hanging in the mourning hall nor the coffin of Concubine Zhang Jiashu were made of the best materials.You must know that Concubine Zhang Jiashu was a favorite concubine before, and Khan Ama should not express anything when the favorite concubine passed away.

But until now, not to mention the imperial decree, Khan Ama himself has not come.

Wan Ning paused, "Second Sister's words are really suspicious."

She suddenly thought of the scene when Concubine Wen Xi passed away. When Concubine Wen Xi died, although Khan Ama ordered them not to cry, but the ministers, ministers and concubines in the palace were all there.The coffin used by Concubine Wen Xi is said to be only qualified to be used by imperial concubines, and it is said that it was licensed by Khan Ama.

Concubine Zhang Jiashu was favored during her lifetime, and gave birth to two daughters and one son to Khan Ama. Even if Khan Ama's personality does not give her a promotion, she should continue to be buried as a concubine anyway.

But she saw that the coffin was an ordinary coffin used after the death of a concubine, let alone a concubine, a nobleman is better than this.

Also, the concubines in the harem who were lower than Zhang Jiashu were not there.The noble lady of the previous dynasty didn't know whether she got the news and it didn't arrive, or what, there were only a few people, and the highest level of these people was no more than the fifth rank.

Concubine Wen Xi passed away and none of them left a crying spirit behind. Naturally, Concubine Zhang Jiashu didn't need it. They finally came to the palace, and with so many questions, the two simply went to Zhongcui Palace.

Er Niang is in charge of the harem, so she might know something.

Concubine Rong really knew, she said: "This is what the emperor meant. The emperor said that it was the concubine Zhang Jia who was found to be doing the gossip. He said that it was the imperial concubine Zhang Jia who was jealous of the power in the East Palace, and he also saw that he treated the crown prince It’s not as close as before, so I made this matter to test the emperor’s attitude.”

In the end, Rong Xian and Wan Ning both understood without needing Concubine Rong Gui.This temptation directly tested his own life.

Wan Ning said: "Concubine Zhang Jiashu personally admitted this? Does Brother Thirteen know?"

If the matter was really done by concubine Zhang Jiashu, then she did it for Yinxiang.I wonder if Khan Ama will tell him?

Concubine Rong shook her head, "That's not true. Concubine Zhang Jia committed suicide. It is said that she knew that the emperor was investigating this matter thoroughly. She knew that she couldn't escape, so she just carried everything on her back."

Speaking of this, Concubine Rong sighed, "Concubine Zhang Jiashu is afraid that the emperor will be implicated in Elder Brother Thirteen, so she used herself to protect him."

Concubine Zhang Jiashu left a suicide note before her death, which not only explained her crimes, but also said that Brother Shisan didn't know about it at all.Elder Brother Thirteen didn't have this idea, it was because she felt that others could compete, why her son couldn't.It was she who was not reconciled, and wanted her son to excel as well.

Wan Ning was a little speechless, what do you mean by 'I hope her son will be successful'?What does it mean to be outstanding? Could it be that in her eyes only being the emperor is the only thing?

Khan Ama has so many sons, only one can be the emperor, so this is called the leader, what are the others?Waste snacks?

Wan Ning couldn't understand Concubine Zhang Jiashu's brain circuit no matter how she thought about it.

Concubine Rong Gui said: "Probably because she thinks that the thirteenth elder brother doesn't have a serious errand and follows the fourth elder brother's ass all the time, and feels ashamed."

The thirteenth elder brother has a good relationship with the fourth elder brother, and he has been following the fourth elder brother before. After the wedding, he didn't ask the emperor to arrange other errands for him, and he still followed the fourth elder brother to do errands in the household department.

There is only one person in charge of the household department, and the fourth elder brother was personally arranged by the emperor, so everyone naturally regards him as the master.Elder Brother Thirteen followed behind him, in the eyes of others he was just a handyman.

Perhaps Brother Thirteen doesn't care, but he can't stop others from discussing it.

She guessed that Concubine Zhang Jiashu had listened to these words too much and was upset with Brother Thirteen, and then she would do stupid things when provoked by others.

Rong Xian suddenly said: "Emiang, according to what you said, that concubine Zhang Jiashu really hanged herself, not"

Instead of a scapegoat who was murdered?

Rong Xian thought to himself, she dared to spread rumors to help Brother Thirteen fight for the throne, would she be afraid of death?

If it was really her, would she not have thought about the consequences before doing this?

Wan Ning also looked at Concubine Rong, what Rong Xian said was exactly what she wanted to say.She always felt that Concubine Zhang Jiashu's death was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Concubine Rong spread her hands: "I understand what you mean, but the emperor has asked the imperial physician to check that Concubine Zhang Jiashu did hang herself, as for the rest, we can't know." That is to say, even if this matter exists Persecuted by others, Concubine Zhang Jiashu also took the initiative to die.

All she knew was what the emperor had told her. After all, concubine Zhang Jiashu had always kept a low profile, and the thirteenth elder brother was on good terms with the fourth elder brother. She never related this matter to Concubine Zhang Jiashu.

So whether it was possible that she was forced to die willingly by someone, that was beyond her ability to know.

But judging from the emperor's attitude, he should also believe that the matter was done by Concubine Zhang Jiashu, otherwise he wouldn't give her any face after her death.

"I've already told you the matter, Wan Ning, please turn around and tell the third child. I think the emperor means to push this matter to Concubine Zhang Jiashu and let it be settled. He definitely doesn't want to see the third child and the thirteenth I'm not getting along."

Concubine Rong has always followed in the emperor's footsteps, and she will think whoever the emperor says.This matter involved her own grandson, what the emperor thinks is a matter for the emperor, she thinks this matter should be known to the third couple.

Wan Ning nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Er Niang, I will."

Wan Ning told the third elder brother about this when she went back, and she also asked: "Do you think this matter will be done by Concubine Zhang Jiashu? I think she is still a sober person in the harem. I don't understand why she would do this?"

Wan Ning felt that even if Concubine Zhang Jiashu was a little cautious, she should know that Shisan basically had no hope.Trading one's own life and the future of his son's for a slim chance, no matter how you look at it, it's a sure loss.

Is Concubine Zhang Jiashu so stupid?

But if it wasn't for her, why would she take things down?

Who has the ability to make her die willingly?

Looking at the deep brows around her, the third elder brother stretched out his hand to smooth it out, "Leave this matter to me and the fourth brother to investigate, don't think about it."

Seeing Wan Ning looking at him suspiciously, the third elder brother explained, "How good is the fourth brother with the old thirteen, can he watch the old thirteen be wronged and kill his mother?"

If the matter was really done by Concubine Zhang Jiashu, no matter how nice she said, Thirteen's position in Khan Ama's heart would plummet, and even if something happened in the future, Khan Ama would be the first to suspect him .

The fourth child and the thirteenth child are not born in the same mother, but they are better than one child. He will never want to see the thirteenth come to this point.Therefore, as long as he knows about this matter, he will definitely take care of it.

Therefore, after the burial of Concubine Zhang Jiashu, the third elder brother went to Yongjun Palace.

The fourth elder brother stood up abruptly, and he said: "Third brother, I dare to guarantee with my life that Thirteen will never be this kind of person. Concubine Zhang Jiashu," he paused and gritted his teeth, "Concubine Zhang Jiashu should also I won’t do such a stupid thing, it must be framed by someone.”

He will always remember the scene when he saw Concubine Zhang Jiashu getting along with Thirteenth Brother in Yonghe Palace. Concubine Zhang Jiashu would always look at Thirteenth Brother gently and talk to him.The thirteenth brother's gentleness was largely due to Zhang Jiashu's concubine.

For such a gentle person, the fourth elder brother didn't believe that she would do such a thing.

The third elder brother waved his hand and asked him to sit down, "Fourth brother, don't get excited, actually I don't believe this is true, otherwise I wouldn't have come to look for the fourth brother."

The fourth elder brother looked up at him, "What does the third brother want me to do? Just say what you want."

"Hongsheng is my son, and I will never allow anyone to use him for a certain purpose. So I plan to ask my fourth brother to investigate secretly with me." He explained, "If the matter was not done by Concubine Zhang Jiashu, then She is the scapegoat. Now that someone has taken the blame for it, the people behind the scenes will definitely let their guard down, and this is our opportunity."

"However, we also have to be prepared to find out nothing, or find out that it is Zhang Jiashu Concubine in the end." Han Ama has already determined in her heart that she is Zhang Jiashu Concubine, and she will definitely not help them, and she may not be willing to leave her. Show them the clues we found before, so we can only investigate by ourselves.

Although this incident has not been too long, if there is really a black hand, I am afraid that it will be wiped out during the investigation by Khan Ama.This makes it even more difficult for them to find out the truth.

After telling the fourth elder brother all the possibilities, the third elder brother quietly waited for his reply.

The fourth elder brother pondered for a moment and said: "Even if it is difficult, we have to investigate." He hesitated for a while, and then said, "Sir brother, should you tell Thirteen about this and let him investigate together. Don't worry, I guarantee it with my life The matter has absolutely nothing to do with Shisan, if Shisan really did it, I will never forgive him without you doing it."

The third elder brother nodded, "It's fine to tell him, I think he has been very depressed because of the matter of Concubine Zhang Jiashu these days, maybe this matter can divert his attention." He stood up and patted the fourth elder brother on the Shoulder, "We are brothers. I still trust Shisan, and I believe the prince does too. You tell him, let him not think too much. Wait until the mastermind behind the scenes is found out."

After the third elder brother left, the thirteenth elder brother came out of the cubicle.He looked at the door with a complicated expression.

Brother Thirteen was very sad when Er Niang passed away, and what made him even more sad was Khan Ama's attitude towards Er Niang.Before he had to watch the spirit, even if he felt uncomfortable, he endured it. After Erniang was buried, he went to find Khan Ama.

Then I knew the 'real image'.

At the moment when he knew the truth, Yin Xiang only thought it was absurd.How could his mother-in-law be that kind of person.

Thinking back when he saw mynah's success in his career and envied him, it was Er Niang who woke him up.How could such a mother provoke the prince and the third brother.

Khan Ama said with certainty, and there were all kinds of evidence pointing to his mother, plus the suicide note written by her, Yinxiang didn't know how to convince himself.

He was at a loss and didn't know who to tell, so he came to Yongjun Palace after walking.

It was only after he said a few words to the fourth brother that the third brother came.What he didn't expect was that the third brother was doing it for this matter.

The fourth elder brother looked at him quietly, and said for a long time: "What are you going to do?"

The thirteenth elder brother turned around, and he solemnly bowed to the fourth elder brother, "Please help me, fourth elder brother." After speaking, he stood up, gritted his teeth, "I want to return my mother's innocence."

Er Niang has been cautious all her life, and he doesn't want her to die with such a reputation.

The fourth elder brother nodded, "Since that's the case, let's discuss this matter from a long-term perspective, and we must not act too hastily."

Yinxiang took a deep breath, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I know what to do." He heard the third brother's analysis just now, and he will not let hatred blind his eyes and do wrong things.

The third elder brother who walked out of the mansion turned his head and glanced at the plaque of Yongjun Wangfu, he chuckled lightly: "Fourth, Thirteenth, don't let me down."

When he walked into the study, he found that besides the fourth child, there was another breathing sound in the room.At this late hour, there was still someone in the fourth man's house, and that person was still avoiding him, so he guessed who it was after a little thought.
