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

Lu Zhaolin sighed and asked her, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head: "I don't know."

Lu Zhaolin said: "This Marquis Xinwu has some connections with Ah Ying."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying looked surprised.

Lu Zhaolin said: "Marquis Xinwu is Ah Ying's uncle."

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Shiying's lips: "I have never heard that there is such an uncle in the Qingyang House."

Then, he saw her eyebrows furrowing again: "Huh? Aren't all the people in Qingyang's house surnamed Zhao? Why did I hear that Marquis Xinwu was surnamed Zhou? Could it be that he is his cousin?"

Lu Zhaolin thought for a moment, her reaction was not surprising.

Her biological mother is her aunt, and her aunt's family cannot be considered serious relatives. Naturally, my aunt's brother is not qualified to call her "uncle".

Therefore, when the word "uncle" was mentioned, she subconsciously thought of going to her aunt's family.

He said: "Marquis Xinwu is not your biological mother's brother, but your biological mother's biological brother, and your biological uncle."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Shiying opened her mouth: "How could that be?"

Then, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty is teasing Ah Ying. Ah Ying's biological mother was originally the dowry maid next to my legitimate mother. The whole family is gone. Where can I find my biological uncle?"

Lu Zhaolin said: "It was Mrs. Jiang who lied to you."

Jiang Shiying asked doubtfully: "You lied to me?"

Lu Zhaolin nodded.

Jiang Shiying asked: "Your Majesty is saying that although there are still people in Ah Ying's biological mother's family, her aunt lied to Ah Ying and said that her entire family was gone?"

"It's not just that." Lu Zhaolin said: "She lied to you about everything about your biological mother. Your biological mother is not a dowry maid, but a good citizen. Your maternal grandfather's family are also good people."

After the words fell, the smile on Jiang Shiying's face gradually disappeared, and her head hung slightly.

After a long silence, she heard her whisper: "So that's it. No wonder over the years, whenever I ask about my biological mother, I always get all kinds of prevarications."

Then, she raised her head and asked: "Then why did my biological mother come to Jiang Mansion and become my father's aunt? In addition to Marquis Xinwu, are there anyone else in my biological mother's family?"

Lu Zhaolin originally wanted Marquis Xinwu to tell her these things.

When his eyes touched Marquis Xinwu, he found that he was only focused on crying and had no hope at all.

He sighed and said, "Back then, your grandfather's family opened an escort bureau in the capital. Later, when I was walking escorts, I encountered someone who robbed the escorts, and something happened."

Having said this, he felt the hand holding his tighten slightly.

He continued: "Your mother-in-law survived this accident. Jiang Pengyuan took her back to her home and lied to her that she was her savior."

"Liar?" Jiang Shiying sensitively sensed something was wrong.

Lu Zhaolin paid attention to her emotions and said slowly: "The person who led the escort robbery was Jiang Pengyuan."

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Shiying suddenly raised her voice: "Although my father was confused for a while and made mistakes in the affairs of Jiang common people, he also grew up reading the books of sages. He has been an official for more than 20 years and has always been conscientious, loyal to the emperor and the people. .How can Your Majesty allow others to slander me and say that my father is the leader of escort robbers and a villain who deceives innocent women?"

Speaking of this, she glared at Marquis Xinwu who was standing next to him.

Lu Zhaolin thought to himself that for Aying, Xinwuhou, the uncle who appeared out of nowhere, was naturally not as close to her as the father who raised her. This was the right thing to do.

Not to mention Ah Ying's disbelief, before he saw Uncle Qingyang's confession, he never thought that his former Minister of Staff could do such a thing as robbing an escort.

Looking at Jiang Shiying's righteous expression, Lu Zhaolin handed her a small stack of papers on the imperial case: "This is Uncle Qingyang's confession. Take a look at it."

Jiang Shiying took the confession and glanced at it. The expression on her face first became shocked, then at a loss.

After she finished reading it, she shook her head: "I don't believe it."

She murmured: "My father will not be such a person. He covers up the imperial examination fraud case, kills innocent people, and deceives women from good families. No, I don't believe this is what my father did."

Lu Zhaolin said: "Dali Temple also found evidence from Qingyang Bofu."

Jiang Shiying's face turned pale, and the hand she held with him trembled slightly, and she whispered: "I always thought that he was just not good at being a good father, but at least he is a good official."

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Lu Zhaolin's face condensed: "Xuan Zhaoyuan History, come here."

There was a young eunuch in front of the emperor who took the order and hurriedly retreated.

Jiang Shiying suddenly thought of something, put some force on her hands, and asked, "Your Majesty, did my biological mother really die in childbirth? Or was she silenced after she discovered something?"

Lu Zhaolin put his arms around her shoulders and said, "These matters can only be known after the interrogation of Jiang Pengyuan and Mrs. Jiang. I have already ordered them to be taken to Dali Temple Prison."

Jiang Shiying nodded almost invisibly.

Not long after, Zhao Yuanshi arrived outside the front hall of Ganquan Palace.

Lu Zhaolin announced that he had come in and checked Jiang Shiying's pulse.

Zhao Yuanshi's face was quite serious: "Your Majesty's mood fluctuates too much, so she needs to take a dose of anti-fetal medicine."

Lu Zhaolin nodded and asked him to go down and make a prescription.

After Zhao Yuanshi exited, Jiang Shiying took Lu Zhaolin's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, can you please send Marquis Xinwu away first. Ah Ying, I don't know how to face him. "

Lu Zhaolin sighed and said, "Marquis Xinwu, please retreat first."

Marquis Xinwu opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but in the end he bowed and left the hall.

On this day, Jiang Shiying stayed directly in the back hall of Ganquan Palace.

While Lu Zhaolin was criticizing the papers, she was half lying on the soft couch, in a daze.

Lu Zhaolin occasionally raised his head from the book, and every time he saw her, he looked lost.

Until she woke up the next morning, she never saw a smile on her face again.

Seeing that she was about to get up, Lu Zhaolin held her shoulders and said, "I will ask someone to go to Fengyi Palace to ask for leave for you. You can take a rest."

Jiang Shiying shook her head gently, and the corners of her lips curved, but she said without any joy: "It doesn't matter, Ah Ying is not feeling unwell. Ah Ying just feels a little complicated in her heart, and her mind is a mess, and she can't understand it. clear."

Lu Zhaolin thought for a while and left her alone. Whether in Ganquan Palace or Jingyang Palace, she would inevitably be immersed in her thoughts again.

It would be better to go to Fengyi Palace, where there are a lot of people chattering. Even if someone said something she didn't want to listen to, she could be pulled out of her thoughts. As for the person who speaks harshly, what's the difficulty in teaching him a lesson or two?

Thinking like this, he stopped insisting and just told Qiu Yu: "Take good care of your queen."

Qiu Yu bowed and said, "My slave, I obey."

In Fengyi Palace, Jiang Shiying had a pale face as soon as she entered the palace.

There are so many well-informed people in the harem.

Seeing her expression was related to the imprisonment of Jiang Pengyuan and Mrs. Jiang yesterday.

Most of them come from wealthy families, and they have been taught since childhood that family is the most important thing. In addition, the filial piety discipline of father, son and son is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Everyone agreed in their hearts that Concubine Chun was worried about Jiang Pengyuan.

All the concubines who were overwhelmed by her in the past often secretly rejoiced in her misfortune.

Li Bin, the brainless one, was the first to speak: "I didn't expect that the pure concubine would turn out to be the daughter of a sinner after not seeing her for just a day."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying didn't pay attention to her, and he and the concubine moved closer to her like cats that smelled a fishy smell.

There was a bit of pride in Li Bin's eyes, and she said to her: "You don't know, do you? Concubine Chun's father, Jiang Pengyuan, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was arrested by His Majesty's order yesterday and sent to Dali Temple Prison."

Jiang Shiying's eyes were clear and she looked at her without any emotion.

Li Bin suddenly remembered that every time she provoked someone in the past, she had not ended up with a good ending, and she shut up in silence.

But the concubine became excited, looked Jiang Shiying up and down and said: "If I were the pure concubine, as the daughter of a sinner, I might not have the shame to go out at this time. It's good for the empress, she still dares to come to Fengyi Palace, and she's not afraid of stepping on the dirt. The Queen’s realm.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap on his face.

The one who hit her was not Jiang Shiying, but Concubine Yu who had just walked in.

He Concubine had never interacted with her before, and only regarded Concubine Yu as a gorgeous ornament with high status but no sense of existence.

At this time, she received a slap in the face and said in a sharp voice: "Jade Concubine? Why did you hit me?"

Concubine Jade's face, which was always cold and cold, rarely showed an expression, but it was full of disgust and boredom: "I don't have good rules with my concubines. If you don't know how to talk to the concubine, I will teach you. Why, don't you accept it? ?”

The concubine covered her face with one hand, looking unhappy: "Your Majesty, you are standing up for a sinner's daughter?"
