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

"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why do you say that?"

Ning Guifei said: "Concubine Jin must have come here to ask you or the minister to intercede on your behalf in front of your majesty. But Yan Tingfang committed a serious crime of embezzling food for disaster relief. Nearly ten thousand refugees flocked to the capital because of him, and countless The family was torn apart because of this.

If you are so moved by Concubine Jin's tears that you really help her, I'm afraid that His Majesty will turn his anger on you or the minister. "

The queen said: "You are right. Shuwen, go and tell Concubine Jin that I am busy now and it is inconvenient to see her."

Shuwen made a "promise" sound and then withdrew.

Not long after, Shuwen returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion and said with a troubled face: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin said that she is willing to wait outside Fengyi Palace until you have time to see her."

The queen sighed after hearing this and said: "After all, I have been friends with Concubine Jin for more than ten years. How can I bear to let her suffer in the cold wind and wait outside Fengyi Palace? Forget it, you should invite her in Bar."

Just as Shu Wen was about to take the order and go out, he heard Ning Guifei say: "Wait a minute."

After the words fell, the queen and Shuwen both looked at her.

Concubine Ning stood up, bowed to the queen and said, "If the queen does not mind that I am nosy, I would like to give you some advice, concubine Jin."

The Queen looked at her twice, and then said: "That's fine, then you can go ahead."

After Concubine Jin went out, the queen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying, "This tea is very good, I like it very much."

Beauty Yi also picked up the tea cup, moistened it and then said: "The tea in cousin's palace is naturally good."

The queen smiled and said: "If you like it, I will ask Huaping to pack some for you to take away later."

Yi Meiren said: "Then I will prefer my cousin's good stuff."

The Queen just looked at her with a smile.

The beauty said again: "Now it seems that Ning Guifei has been completely conquered by my cousin?"

Even such offending things are willing to be done on behalf of the queen.

The queen sneered: "She's not doing this for me."

"Then what is she?"

The queen lowered her head and played with her nails: "She is afraid. If Concubine Jin also joins me, I will have a fifth prince besides the fourth prince."

At this point, she raised her head: "As a mother, you always have to think more about the future of your children."

Yi Meiren first looked as if she had suddenly realized it, and then smiled and said: "My cousin can clearly see their little thoughts. Let them fight for it, and my cousin will just sit tight on the Diaoyutai."

I don’t know what Concubine Ning Gui said to Concubine Jin. After half a cup of tea, Concubine Jin left the door of Fengyi Palace.

Concubine Jin's face was very ugly: "I really couldn't tell in the past that Concubine Ning still has the potential to be a dog!"

Peilan said: "Empress, the Queen refuses to help, what should we do?"

After being silent for a while, Concubine Jin said, "Then we can only go to Ganquan Palace to see His Majesty."

Although there is little hope, as a woman, she cannot do nothing.

Peilan said: "Why don't we ask Concubine Chen for help? With Concubine Chen's favor, if she is willing to say a word or two in front of His Majesty——"

Concubine Jin shook her head: "Concubine Chen will not help. Have you forgotten? When her own father was beheaded, she did nothing. Now, how can she plead with His Majesty for my father? If we really ask for help in front of Concubine Chen, we will only be humiliating ourselves."

Half an hour later, Concubine Jin took off her hairpin, dressed in plain clothes, and went outside Ganquan Palace to ask for an audience.

When Lu Zhaolin disappeared, she kept guarding the door of Ganquan Palace.

Two more hours later, the back hall of Ganquan Palace.

A young eunuch entered the palace quietly and said something in Yao Xingde's ear.

Yao Xingde's mouth was bitter, but he still stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin is still standing at the entrance of the palace."

Lu Zhaolin didn't even raise his head: "If she wants to stand, let her stand."

Yao Xingde said: "Just now, the fifth prince has also arrived and is accompanying Concubine Jin at the gate of Ganquan Palace."

After hearing this, Lu Zhaolin finally raised his head from the papers, with displeasure on his face: "Tell Concubine Jin that if she doesn't want to return to Yongfu Palace, then she can go to the prison of Dali Temple and wait for her family to reunite."

Yao Xingde made a "promise" and went out to deliver the message in person.

At the gate of Ganquan Palace, Concubine Jin's eyes lit up when she saw Yao Xingde's figure: "Eunuch Yao, is your Majesty willing to see me?"

Yao Xingde bowed first and then repeated Lu Zhaolin's words.

When Concubine Jin heard this, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The fifth prince hurriedly supported her with Peilan.

"Mother and concubine." The fifth prince raised his head and looked at her with worry in his eyes: "How about the child intercede with the father on behalf of the mother and concubine?"

Having said this, before Concubine Jin could speak, he looked at Yao Xingde and said, "I would also like to ask Eunuch Yao to report on your behalf."

Yao Xingde was thinking about how to refuse, when Concubine Jin said: "No, this matter has nothing to do with you."

She was impulsive.

Just now, she shouldn't have let the fifth prince wait with her outside Ganquan Palace.

The meaning of His Majesty's words was obviously that he was angry. This anger was not because she wanted to plead for her father, but because she had involved the fifth prince in this matter.

In His Majesty's eyes, this is using the emperor's heir to coerce the holy will.

If the fifth prince is really allowed to go in and plead for her, I'm afraid that the anger in His Majesty's heart will not decrease but increase.

It's hard to say that in a fit of anger, she would directly change the fifth prince's adoptive mother.

You know, on the jade certificate, the mother of the fifth prince is still a commoner in Qi.

Thinking like this, Concubine Jin said to Yao Xingde, "Thank you, Eunuch Yao."

Then, he took the fifth prince's hand and left Ganquan Palace.

Three days later, Yan Tingfang, the former governor of Yunzhou, was taken to Beijing and imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison.

Tao Xinfang, the marriage officer of Wude Division, reported the results of the investigation in Yunzhou in front of the emperor.

Things in Yunzhou are not difficult to investigate. Although Yan Tingfang deliberately tried to cover up everything, how could he escape Wude Si's methods?

Tao Xinfang said: "Your Majesty, Yunzhou has had good harvests every year. Yan Tingfang had a wrong idea. He secretly sold the grain in four of the five official warehouses in Yunzhou, leaving only one for future use." When needed.

After the floods this year, Yan Tingfang originally estimated that the grain in one official warehouse would be enough to provide disaster relief in autumn and winter, so he didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, more than a month ago, when the warehouse was opened for disaster relief, it was discovered that all the grain in the only remaining official warehouse was moldy.

Yan Tingfang did not dare to report it, so he used moldy grains to provide porridge for disaster relief. Many people died from the food on the first day. The remaining people did not dare to eat the poisonous disaster relief food, so they left Yunzhou Prefecture and became refugees. "

This matter can be summed up in one sentence, it is that Yan Tingfang's hands were not clean, and coupled with bad luck, he got into this big trap and fell this time.

"What a great governor of Yunzhou!" Lu Zhaolin clapped his hand heavily on the table and said: "According to my decree, Yan Tingfang, the governor of Yunzhou, embezzled food for disaster relief. The crime is not punishable and he will be executed on the same day. The rest of the Yan family, except for the married daughter, They will all be exiled for three thousand miles."

When the decree reached Yongfu Palace, Concubine Jin was in the small Buddhist hall.

She originally did not believe in Buddhism, but these days she prayed in front of the Buddha every day. It's a pity that the gods and Buddhas never protected her.

After listening to Peilan repeat the content of the decree, the beads in Concubine Jin's hand fell to the ground and scattered.
