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

In Anhe Pavilion.

Today, Concubine Fang brought Qingmei to attend to the illness. They had just served the Queen Mother and finished the medicine. When they saw her sleeping, they went to the soft couch by the wall to rest for a while.

Aunt Qingshan and a group of palace people stood quietly not far away.

At this time, a young palace maid slowly walked in and whispered in Qingshan's ear: "Auntie, the pure concubine is here."

Qingshan frowned slightly when he heard this. Why is Concubine Chun here at this hour?

With this in mind, she blessed Concubine Fang and Qingmei and signaled her to go out.

Concubine Fang nodded.

Qingshan walked out of the inner room quietly and closed the door gently.

"This slave has met your empress."

"Auntie, please get up." Jiang Shiying helped her up with her own hands.

Qingshan asked: "Why did you come so early today?"

Jiang Shiying did not answer, but asked her: "Can aunt step aside?"

Seeing the seriousness on her face, it was obvious that she had something important to do. Qingshan thought for a moment and sent everyone waiting in the hall out.

Then, Jiang Shiying asked, "Has my aunt heard the rumors in the palace in the past two days?"

In the past few days, all Qingshan's energy has been used to hide the affairs of Queen Mother Kang and Princess.

In the past, Princess Kanghe had to be taken by her wet nurse every day, and the Queen Mother would greet her and talk to her.

In the first two days after the accident, Princess Kang and Princess were nowhere to be seen. She could still say that the princess accidentally caught a cold and was recovering from her illness.

But now, several days have passed. Not only is Princess Kanghe's "illness" not getting better, but even the wet nurse is nowhere to be seen. How can we prevent the Queen Mother from becoming suspicious?

Qingshan's attention was focused on this matter and he had no intention of doing anything else.

When I heard her ask about the rumors, I was confused: "What rumors?"

Jiang Shiying told the rumor, and Qingshan's face turned cold visibly.

She said: "There must be someone behind these rumors."

Jiang Shiying only heard a few rumors about what happened back then, but Qingshan actually accompanied the Queen Mother and the Emperor through the swords and swords that fought for the heir apparent.

She looked at Jiang Shiying with a serious expression: "Have you reported this matter to Your Majesty?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, even if I didn't say anything, the people in front of the emperor would not dare not to retaliate. On the contrary, at the Queen Mother's side, I suspect that the Queen Mother's illness and the death of Princess Kanghe are not the same. It has nothing to do with the person behind this rumor."

Qingshan said: "What do you mean, your Majesty?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Logically speaking, the wind-cold disease should have been cured a long time ago. I'm afraid that someone has put their hands into the Queen Mother's side, dragging the disease and preventing the Queen Mother from recovering."

When Qingshan returned to the inner room of the bedroom, the Queen Mother had already woken up and was leaning on the soft pillow.

Seeing her coming in, the Queen Mother asked: "I heard that Aying is here? Why did she come so early today?"

With a smile on her face, Aunt Qingshan took a plate from the hands of the little palace maid behind her, brought it to the Queen Mother, and said: "Mother Chun Fei made rose red bean cake in the small kitchen. I thought it was good after eating it, so I personally Sent to you."

The Queen Mother coughed twice, and Qingshan quickly put down the plate and gave her some water.

After half a glass of water was consumed, the Queen Mother said angrily: "It's such a big deal, I just want her to go there in person and ask the people below to deliver it."

That's what she said, but the smile on her face didn't mean it.

Qingshan said: "Mother Chun Fei is thinking about you."

······

After coming out of Anhe Pavilion, Jiang Shiying did not return to Xiangying Residence, but took people to Lu Zhaolin's Mingguang Palace.

At the same time, in a remote palace in the garden.

The doors and windows were closed, and a little light shone into the room through the window paper, but it couldn't illuminate the faces of the people in the room.

Then an angry female voice was heard: "The Queen Mother's illness, the death of Princess Kang and Princess, and the rumors in the past two days are all caused by you, right?"

The reply came from a sharp male voice: "Why are you so excited?"

The female voice said: "Why didn't you report to me what you did recently?"

The male voice sneered softly: "I reported it to you? And then you didn't report it to me?"

There was a hint of chill in the female voice: "This means you are dissatisfied with me?"

The male voice said: "I don't dare. Now that you are above me and you have the prince in your hands, how can I dare to be dissatisfied with you? It's just my concubine, don't forget what you said and the oath you swore."

The female voice said: "How have I ever forgotten what I said? The oath I made?"

The male voice mocked: "You have done nothing these days. The servants thought you no longer wanted to avenge His Highness, and only wanted to push the prince under your knees to sit on the throne."

The female voice almost laughed out loud: "Just because of this, you did this without telling me? If you can do it perfectly, that's all. Now it's just that the emperor and the queen mother don't have any doubts, otherwise a little investigation , the nails in the Anhe Pavilion have to be pulled out, and then they are touched one by one, and this line has to be destroyed! And this rumor, what is wrong with it, insist on dragging His Highness into it, are you afraid of the emperor? Don’t you care?”

After being scolded by her for such a long time, the male voice was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then what should I do?"

"Ding Wu can't stay." The female voice said: "Change the rumors."

The male voice said: "Okay."

After a moment, he said again: "The matter between Kang and Princess was not our fault."

···

When Jiang Shiying arrived at Mingguang Hall, Lu Zhaolin had already learned about the rumors and arranged for someone to investigate.

In the Mingguang Hall, there was silence at this time.

Lu Zhaolin held his head with one hand and closed his eyes slightly.

When Jiang Shiying entered the palace, Yao Xingde was about to speak out, but she stopped him with a gesture.

Then, she quietly walked around behind Lu Zhaolin, and gently covered his eyes with her hands: "Your Majesty, please guess, who am I?"

Lu Zhaolin was originally very agitated, but when these warm hands touched his eyes, he felt that his heart suddenly calmed down.

He smiled softly, took the troublesome hand, pulled it onto his shoulder, and said: "Other than Ah Ying, who else can enter my Mingguang Palace silently?"

The other concubines, even if they are as noble as a queen, cannot enter without notification.

He had only allowed her the privilege of entering the palace at will.

Jiang Shiying's eyebrows were curved and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, why don't you cooperate? Why don't you take a guess?"

Lu Zhaolin laughed, but took her hand, covered his eyes again, and said, "Then do it again, please ask me again."

Jiang Shiying said again in cooperation: "Your Majesty, please guess, who am I?"

Lu Zhaolin said: "This voice is as clear as jade and as sweet as honey. Could it be -"

The corners of Jiang Shiying's lips were already raised, but she heard him say: "Could it be Concubine Jade?"

Jiang Shiying stomped her foot lightly and was about to take her hand back, but he held it back and kept it at her eyes.

He laughed twice before saying: "No, no, these hands are so delicate, even better than fine jade. I guess it must be our pure concubine."

After saying that, he pulled down the two hands, raised his head slightly and looked at her: "I guessed it right."

"Your Majesty deliberately teased Ah Ying." As she said this, the smile on her face did not diminish at all.

The two of them laughed and joked for a while. Lu Zhaolin put his arm around her waist and walked to the Arhat's bed to sit down.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "You heard about the rumors and came here to make me happy, right?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Yes and no."

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Oh? What do you mean by this?"
