After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Yingshu was convinced that her judgment was correct.

But he looked around and said to him: "How about I guess again, why does Your Majesty need your Majesty's cooperation?"

Shi Concubine was silent, and Ying Shu seemed to be talking to herself: "Your Majesty should not know about it, but I have heard that in order to quell the chaos in Shuzhou, Your Majesty wanted to use He Zhi, the governor of Yizhou, but He Ao resisted, and Mrs. He was still the best. Shuangli agreed to persuade He Ao, and the chaos in Shuzhou was not difficult to put down. Seeing that Jiangdong Hehui had made a great contribution, the court had to praise him for his meritorious service, but His Majesty must not let Jiangdong He become more powerful.

The empress's family has been secretly wooing Jiang Donghe. Although the empress and Mrs. He have broken up due to the fifth princess, but because of this, the empress's father and ancestors are bound to be more friendly to Jiang Donghe and work for him. Although the empress has not been rewarded. However, she has been banned in Bincen Pavilion, but her father-in-law did not care about her and ignored her safety. Therefore, neither Mrs. He nor her father He Ao would suspect that her father-in-law would do anything for this waste. , Dare to be an enemy of Jiang Donghe.

Therefore, if you want to verify Jiang Donghe's minor crime, offset the merits and demerits, and achieve the goal of no rewards and no punishments, the most convenient way is to have one of your Majesty's clan members serve as your Majesty's internal correspondent. I guess the only one of your Majesty’s relatives who you can trust is your brother. When your Majesty was first banned, I heard Madam Xie mention that Xie Julang was entrusted by Shi Balang to beg Madam Xie to find out who The cause of the princess's death is to redress the injustice of the empress. "

Shi Bin took a deep breath, but she didn't believe that Ying Shu had a plan to get the best of both worlds just because she guessed the truth.

"One of the reasons why the empress's mother was willing to obey Mrs. He to harm her was that she had no choice but to protect the rest of her children and grandchildren. Although the empress has an older brother, Shi Balang was not born until forty years ago. Heirs, just like my grandmother, have always preferred my father. I think the most beloved child of my father-in-law is also a latecomer.

The Empress must know that Shi Balang will not be abandoned by the family, and his safety can be guaranteed. If he gains His Majesty's trust, he will have a bright future in the future. Therefore, the person the Empress wants to protect is not Shi Balang, but someone else, and this person, It is difficult for the empress to speak to His Majesty. "

"Why do you insist that I have someone else to protect?"

"Although this is the second time I have met your empress, I am confident that I understand her personality. It is impossible for Mrs. He to threaten your empress to become an accomplice in the murder of the little princess just because she took the five stone powder. The empress is not pregnant, and it is not because of the fifth princess that she was threatened by Mrs. He. Mrs. He must have something else in her hands, and it cannot be Shi Balang. The age difference between the empress and Shi Balang is several years. When the empress entered the palace, Shi Balang was still the same. Child, Mrs. He uses her own heart to judge the empress's heart. She will not think that there is a deep brotherhood between the empress and Shi Balang. After all, in Mrs. He's view, the empress does not even care about the safety of her father and ancestors. , how could you turn a blind eye to your younger brother?"

Shi Bin returned to silence, but her brows seemed to be tied into a tight knot.

"The empress believes that if Mrs. He does not die, she cannot ensure that the person is not harmed. That is why the empress is so anxious to put Mrs. He to death. But I just made it clear that this is something that cannot be done, because Mrs. He's life and death There is no way to determine the rise and fall of Jiang Donghe, otherwise His Majesty would not be obsessed with finding another reason for Jiang Donghe's crime. He only needs to announce the truth of Mrs. He's crime of murdering the two princesses after He Zhi has performed meritorious service. But His Majesty knows very well that He Zhi's crimes In fact, Madam is no longer the daughter of the He family, she is a married woman. If He Ao sees that Madam He has been abandoned, he will not use his vested interests to exchange for Madam He's survival."

Not to mention, the monarch only had Shi Concubine's confession in his hands, and there was no conclusive evidence to convict and execute Mrs. He.

"It's not even difficult for me to guess who the person your Majesty cares about is not a family member of your Majesty's family, but Mrs. He knows that your Majesty will care about his safety. Someone must have informed you, and the informant has malicious intentions towards your Majesty. Although your Majesty has harmed your Majesty, your Majesty should not harbor any ill will toward your Majesty. The informants are your Majesty’s family members. Your concubines are all married far away, but you have a cousin who was married not long after your Majesty entered the palace..."

"Stop talking." Concubine Shi really didn't dare to underestimate the woman in front of her who had recently grown hair and seemed to be "getting worse the more she got around" after entering the palace. She said with a cold face: "Sit closer."

Yingshu really dragged the stool and sat in front of the couch.

"My cousin is married to Xiao Lang, and Xiao Lang and I are just like you and His Highness the Fifth Prince. We met when we were young, and the two surnames Shi and Xiao were married for several generations. At that time, the two surnames could be called Tong I have a good family. I actually don’t know whether I have feelings for Xiao Lang, whether I regard him as a brother or... I admire him... After entering the palace, I cut off contact with him, but every year during festivals, I would kneel down between heaven and earth to pray. Don’t forget to pray for Xiao Lang’s safety and happiness.

I know that after I entered the palace, my cousin married Xiao Lang. I also know that my cousin has always loved Xiao Lang, so she has always been a little jealous of me. Over the years, Mr. Xiao has been lazy in his struggle for power. Although some of his descendants have become officials, they are unwilling to obey the powerful. The Xiao family has gradually become weaker and weaker, and my father-in-law has also become increasingly alienated from this in-laws.

I don’t know why there was a rift between my cousin and Xiao Lang, but she told Mrs. He that I admired Xiao Lang and if she refused to obey orders, she would obey Mr. He’s orders and kill Xiao Lang with poison. My cousin believed that this It is enough to be used as a basis to threaten me. She was not wrong. Even if I only regard Xiao Lang as a close friend and brother, I cannot ignore his life and death. Therefore, I must let Mr. He die. Without this poisonous woman as a backer, I I don’t believe that my cousin dared to kill her husband with poison. Now that Mr. He is dead, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled and I will no longer miss this life. Mr. He and I will die together and will no longer be threatened. Although my cousin is vicious, But she is not a stupid woman. Now that she has two children, she will not take such a big risk and do such evil things that harm others and do not benefit herself. "

At this point, Shi Concubine has nothing to hide anymore.

"I can't express my concerns to Your Majesty. It's not because I'm afraid that Your Majesty will suspect me of being unfaithful. In fact, I also know in my heart that His Majesty doesn't hate He, but as the king of a country, he must focus on the overall situation. He The crime deserves death, but her life is more conducive to constraining Jiang Donghe than her death.

Whether I express my concerns or not, the result will be the same. However, Princess Shi, you just said that there is a solution to both problems. Tell me, let me hear if it is feasible. "

Since Ying Shu had already guessed the inside story quite closely before entering the meeting, she had certainly thought of countermeasures.

"If your Majesty still has a reason to be threatened, Mrs. He will not destroy that only reason."

"I'm a person who wants to be punished, and I've long been of no use to the He family."

"My plan is to make the queen very useful."

Shi Bin finally raised her eyebrows high.

"Your Majesty, you know, right? The palace people around you are not trustworthy?"

"I can't trust anyone except Puyi."

"His Majesty ordered the closure of Bincen Pavilion, in fact, it was to cut off the possibility of communication between inside and outside. I have confirmed that Lily in the catering department is an enemy, but she did not dare to directly poison her food. I guess, she transferred The Five Stone Powder given to me is actually very poisonous, but I will confess her, and even confess Xiuwei. In order for them to escape guilt, they must convict me of the crime.

How can I be proven guilty? In Bincen Pavilion, there will inevitably be a corpse that cannot open its mouth, and this person must have an inevitable origin. In addition to Mrs. He's manpower, there should be another person who has been installed for Yuyin Pavilion. ? "

Shi Bin's body couldn't help but lean forward: "Is this what you guessed too?"

"Concubine Qiao will not rest assured. The empress has witnessed her murdering a daughter. Although she understands that the empress obeys Mrs. He, it is common for concubines in the inner court to be friends one day and enemies tomorrow. Concubine Qiao is deeply scheming. , she can even hold Mrs. Shihe's guilt and threaten Mrs. He to cooperate with her in eradicating Jiang's concubine. Of course she will not take her empress lightly.

If Concubine Qiao's eyes and ears are dead, and everyone knows that I am close to His Majesty the Fifth Prince, and I am the only one who can bring poison into Bincen Pavilion, wouldn't it mean that I ordered others to poison the empress, and then silenced the accomplices? Proof? "

Shi Bin lowered her voice: "So, you conclude that Lily and Xiuwei are not following orders from the He family?"

"Mrs. He wishes that my wife and I would be trapped in Bincen Pavilion forever. She has no need to put me to death immediately, and if my wife is poisoned, she will be the biggest suspect."

Yingshu clicked and stopped.

Mrs. He's defensiveness has actually been dispelled by His Majesty himself. Of course Mrs. He can think that His Majesty personally admitted that the Fifth Princess was killed by Shi Concubine, but did not execute Shi Concubine. She must have believed Shi Concubine's confession, but what happened Just let it go and just ignore Hanguang Palace in terms of attitude. What does it mean?

It shows that His Majesty simply "dare not" punish her.

Mrs. He even had another luck - even though His Majesty appointed Sikong Beichen as his crown prince, he still valued the second prince very highly. After all, the prince had no maternal family to rely on, but the second prince's maternal family was one of the eight surnames! ! !

However, the situation in Shuzhou was urgent. His Majesty even changed his indifferent attitude towards Hanguang Palace and sent Yingshu to Bincen Pavilion. How could Mrs. He not have the confidence to sit back and relax?

But if Shi Concubine was poisoned at this time, wouldn't it cause another turmoil? His Majesty the Emperor may not take down the old accounts that have been shelved and look through them again, and reconsider whether a thorough investigation is necessary.

"As long as we catch Xiuwei, we can let your majesty put her on trial. It doesn't matter who instigated Xiuwei for the time being, but your majesty has an excuse and can justifiably pardon the sins of the empress. Whether it is Lily or Xiuwei, it is not People from Hanguang Palace, so Mrs. He will not be suspicious, and even Bincen Pavilion will no longer be banned. In order to prevent the empress from continuing to target, Mrs. He found that the only thing that can threaten the empress is that one thing? "

Shi Bin stood up and walked around the room. She reorganized her thoughts, suddenly turned around, and stared at Ying Shu: "You should have made a judgment about the man behind the scenes, right?"

"If it's not Empress Yu, it must be Liu Cairen. However, Liu Cairen has just lost a battle, so she is not bold enough to take action on her own again, and Liu Cairen is not that capable of bribing palace officials to murder concubines."

"Queen." Concubine Shi stretched out her hand and held Ying Shu's arm: "Even I know that without His Majesty and the Langyi Wang family, the Queen's position as queen would have been lost, let alone Ziwei Jun who could be canonized as the crown prince. , the Langyi Wang family is a noble family that can be said to be the queen and her son, but the queen has tried to put you to death several times... She doesn’t believe not only you and the family behind you, she doesn’t even trust your majesty."

After Ying Shu got up, Shi Bin had already made up her mind and said, "Come here."
