The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

The queen gave a few more instructions and said, "That's it for today. Let's all disperse."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a little eunuch trotting into the palace and said, "My Lady, there is a message from Yikun Palace that it was Zhenmei who started it."

Now, there is no need to separate, just go from Fengyi Palace to Yikun Palace together.

By the time everyone arrived at Yikun Palace, Zhen Meiren had already entered the delivery room.

She activated it normally today, it was not an accident. The housewife and all the utensils were prepared early, and the entire Yikun Palace was very orderly.

The imperial physician has also arrived and is waiting outside the palace.

The small hall outside the delivery room is not big to begin with, but now it is packed with all the warblers and swallows, which makes people feel anxious just looking at it.

In addition, they basically used powder, and the smell was extremely pungent.

The queen frowned and said, "Everyone below the concubine level should go back."

"Concubine, please retire."

Now, the small hall is much cleaner. Only the painful cries of Zhenmei in the delivery room could be heard from time to time.

Jiang Shiying looked at the queen and saw that she was holding the tea cup in her left hand, but she was not drinking. She was only stroking it back and forth with her right hand. From time to time, she turned her head sideways and looked in the direction of the delivery room, looking very anxious.

Jiang Shiying thought to himself, it's no wonder. Ping Guiren's child is gone, and the queen may be thinking about taking away Zhen Meiren.

I don't know how she plans to make it happen.

Maybe he noticed her gaze, and the queen turned to look at Jiang Shiying and said, "Concubine Chun, please go back too. You are pregnant too, so there is no need to stay here."

Jiang Shiying said: "Thank you very much for your concern, Queen. It's okay for me to be my concubine."

The queen was not in the mood to talk to her anymore, and only told her: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on."

Jiang Shiying agreed.

The two concubines looked really harmonious.

Less than half an hour later, Lu Zhaolin also arrived with others.

The Queen's eyes flashed slightly, it seemed that in His Majesty's heart, there was indeed something different about Zhenmei. I'm afraid this child won't be so easy to snatch.

Then she felt annoyed again. If Ping Guiren wasn't careful enough, why would she have made such difficult calculations?

With this thought in her mind, she did not delay and stood up with everyone else, saluting Lu Zhaolin: "I, my concubine, see your majesty."

"no."

As he spoke, he walked to the top and sat down, then looked at the queen: "How is Miss Zhenmei?"

The queen said: "I didn't see the midwife coming out to report the news. I think everything should go well."

Lu Zhaolin nodded and said nothing more.

Until noon, Jiang Shiying had changed her clothes twice, but there was still no progress in the delivery room.

The Queen said: "Zhenmei is the first born, so it will inevitably be slower. Your Majesty, why not go back first? If government affairs are delayed for this, Zhenmei will surely be uneasy."

Lu Zhaolin nodded and stood up: "Then I'll leave this to you."

The Queen also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

All the concubines stood up to see Lu Zhaolin off, but when he passed by Jiang Shiying, he stopped and said, "Ah Ying, please go back with me."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand towards Jiang Shiying.

Jiang Shiying put her right hand on his, and their hands held each other tightly.

Li Bin had the courage to secretly look at the queen's expression, and sure enough she saw a forbearing and depressed look on her face.

Before leaving the small hall, I heard the cry of a baby coming from the delivery room.

The two stopped and turned around to look.

After a moment, the door of the delivery room was opened, and Nanny Feng came out with a baby in her arms.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Beauty Zhen has given birth to a little prince for Your Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin took a few steps forward and took the child from Nanny Feng's arms. Judging from the way he holds the child, he looks pretty decent.

All the concubines gathered around him and congratulated him one after another.

Lu Zhaolin held the baby in his arms and did not forget about Zhenmei in the delivery room. He asked, "How is Zhenmei?"

Before Nanny Feng could say anything, she saw the door of the delivery room was opened again, and Zhenmeiren's eldest maid Chang Xia and little maid He Yue dragged a woman out with all their strength.

The woman had quite some strength and kept struggling. She kept saying, "What are you doing, girl? Let me go."

The two palace maids exhausted their strength and were hit several times by the mother-in-law's waving arms, but they still gritted their teeth and refused to let go.

Seeing Lu Zhaolin's face darken, Yao Xingde took a few steps forward and shouted in a low voice: "How unbecoming is it to behave like this in front of His Majesty!"

After this drink, the three of them knelt down.

I heard Chang Xia say: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for our little master."

Lu Zhaolin frowned: "What's going on?"

Chang Xia said: "Just now, after Nanny Feng carried the little prince out, in the delivery room, the midwife brought a bowl of ginseng soup to our little master.

The slave girl was about to serve her young master when she saw that her right thumb was wet and there seemed to be something between her nails. The slave girl suspected that she had hidden medicinal powder between her fingernails and dissolved it into the ginseng soup. "

The midwife hurriedly said: "This slave is unjustly accused."

Her voice was so shrill that the little prince was already asleep, but now he was woken up by her and was crying "Wow!"

Lu Zhaolin kicked the midwife on the shoulder and said angrily: "Shut up!"

Then, he handed the swaddling clothes to Nanny Feng: "Put the little prince in, don't let him get wind."

Nanny Feng took the swaddling clothes, bowed, comforted the little prince in a low voice, and quickly returned to the delivery room.

Lu Zhaolin walked up to the midwife and said without any fluctuation in his voice, "Tell me, why did you want to harm Zhenmei?"

The mother-in-law was kicked to the ground by him, but now she quickly got up and knelt down. She no longer dared to shout loudly, but she still defended herself: "I was wronged. I didn't want to harm Zhenmei."

Chang Xia, who was kneeling by the side, said: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is waiting outside the palace. The imperial physician will know what is between her fingernails once he examines it."

As soon as the words fell, the woman subconsciously hid her right hand behind her back. Who can't understand now?

Seeing everyone staring at her, the woman realized what she had done, and her face turned pale.

Lu Zhaolin asked coldly: "You still haven't confessed? Who instructed you?"

The woman's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but she still insisted: "No one instigated me, and I didn't want to harm Zhenmei."

Lu Zhaolin snorted coldly and took two steps forward.

The woman stepped back in fear. At this moment, something fell out of her arms.

Taking a closer look, it was a bright red hairpin.

The woman wanted to grab the hairpin, but Yao Xingde got there first.

He took the hairpin in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "Your Majesty, it has the seal of the palace on it, and it belongs to the palace."

Since it is something from the palace, there are traces to follow.

Lu Zhaolin said: "Have someone check the records."

Jiang Shiying stood a few steps away and felt that the hairpin looked very familiar.

She thought of some possibility and said, "Your Majesty, could you let me see this hairpin?"

Lu Zhaolin nodded, and Yao Xingde handed her the hairpin.

Jiang Shiying took the hairpin, looked at it for a moment, and then handed it to Qiu Yu: "Take a look."

After Qiu Yu finished reading, he nodded to her.

Jiang Shiying said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this hairpin belongs to Ah Ying."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room looked at her.

Qin Xiurong couldn't wait to jump out: "What does the pure concubine mean, is this hairpin given to me by you?"

Jiang Shiying ignored her, but Lu Zhaolin glared at her.

The queen seemed to have something to say for Jiang Shiying: "If it was really Concubine Chun who instigated it, how could she admit that this hairpin was hers?"

Qin Xiurong said: "Even if Concubine Chun doesn't admit it, won't you know it after checking the records?"

At this time, I heard Concubine Shu say: "This hairpin seems to have been seen on Zhang Baolin's head?"

Ning Guifei also said: "I remember the same thing."

Jiang Shiying said: "This hairpin does belong to Ah Ying, but on New Year's Eve, Zhang Baolin came to pay my respects, so I gave it to Zhang Baolin as a reward."

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Where is Zhang Baolin?"

Before Yao Xingde could answer, Chang Xia, who was kneeling on the ground, said, "Zhang Baolin lives in Pingyizhai at the back."

"Pass Zhang Baolin over here." After speaking, Lu Zhaolin looked at Jiang Shiying and said, "Ah Ying, please sit down. You are inconvenient, how can you stand for a long time?"
