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

At this time, Lu Zhaolin was sitting on the bed. His face was slightly pale and his lips were slightly dry.

Hearing the footsteps approaching from far away, he raised his eyes and looked over, asking, "Has everything been arranged?"

Yao Xingde nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Then, he took out the folded piece of fabric from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Zhaolin: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen gave this to you."

Lu Zhaolin frowned and took it. After opening it, he first asked: "Why does it look like a skirt?"

Then, he brushed his fingers over the writing and said, "This word doesn't look like it was written with pen and ink."

Yao Xingde said: "Your Majesty has learned from this."

Then, he explained in detail how Jiang Shiying cut off a section of her skirt and used Luo Dai as a pen to write on it.

After hearing what he said, Lu Zhaolin had a smile on his lips: "She——"

His gentle eyes lingered on the handwriting, and suddenly he said, "Why are there stains on the hem of this skirt?"

As he spoke, he brought the cloth close to his nose, sniffed it and said, "It's tea stains."

Yao Xingde guessed: "Perhaps after Concubine Chen learned the news of your assassination, she was so panicked that she knocked over the tea cup and splashed the corners of her skirt."

Lu Zhaolin said: "My clothes are all wet, and I don't know how to change into another one before coming back."

Yao Xingde looked at his expression, and naturally knew what he wanted to hear, and said: "Concubine Chen is worried about your majesty. When the concubine arrived, her hair was messy and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She obviously rushed here in a hurry. of."

Lu Zhaolin sighed: "She was shocked."

Yao Xingde thought to himself, Concubine Chen is not the only one who is frightened today. But it was only Concubine Chen who made His Majesty sigh like this in person and remember it in his heart. This is not something that can be easily accomplished with that gorgeous appearance.

Concubine Chen is a person of real ability.

At this time in Jingyang Palace, Jiang Shiying had changed into clean clothes and was sitting on the warm bed with her eyes down and thinking.

What she was thinking about was nothing else but the two words Shangshu Ling said to the queen.

That didn't sound wrong, but she always felt it was a bit inconsistent.

It was as if Shangshu Ling was trying to remind the queen of something.

What to remind?

Jiang Shiying lowered her eyelids and turned her eyes slightly.

After a while, a smile appeared on her lips.

Then, he called in the most useful people around him.

The first thing he ordered was matters related to peace.

"A Yuan, Hongying, from today on, you two will go to Ping An, together with Aunt Wan. I will leave Ping An's safety to you."

Ah Yuan is good at martial arts, and Hongying and Nanny Wan are good at medicine. With them by Ping An's side, Jiang Shiying can rest assured.

A Yuan and Hongying bowed solemnly: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely protect His Highness the Eighth Prince."

Jiang Shiying nodded and looked at Yu Chengyi: "Yu Chengyi, I will leave the fence of our Jingyang Palace to you. From today on, the palace door will be closed tightly. Except for the Queen Mother's personal visit, any other No one is allowed to enter Jingyang Palace without my personal order."

Yu Chengyi asked: "Including the Queen?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Including the Queen."

Yu Chengyi solemnly bowed: "I obey my orders and will definitely guard our Jingyang Palace. Don't worry, my empress!"

Qiu Yu reminded me: "My dear, there is a Nanny Ji in the study."

Jiang Shiying frowned and said, "Let her go back to Shangyi Bureau."

At this special time, Jingyang Palace cannot pay attention to people with impure thoughts.

After they all exited, Jiang Shiying leaned on the soft pillow and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

From now on, she will be hungry for several days.

I only hope that His Majesty's day of "recovery" will come soon.

At the same time, in Yongfu Palace.

The doors and windows of Dongnuan Pavilion were wide open, and Yin Lu was sitting at the door, holding a sewing machine in his hand. Every time he sewed one or two stitches, he looked up at the yard.

In the room, Concubine Jin was sitting on the edge of the heated kang, talking to Peilan in a low voice.

There was a hint of disbelief in Peilan's voice: "This suddenly became a thing. I feel like I'm in a dream now."

Concubine Jin glanced at her and said, "Don't be too happy too early. Before the news from the outside comes in, it's hard to be sure whether today's news will invite you to the urn."

After hearing what she said, Peilan also woke up and said, "Don't worry, my lady, I will be alert."

Concubine Jin said: "Don't let the news from the Imperial Hospital leak out."

Peilan said "No", followed the order and retreated.

Early the next morning, people from Fengyi Palace went to various palaces to spread the word, asking everyone to stay in the palace where they lived, and not to go out unless there was something important.

In addition, the silkworm wedding ceremony scheduled to be held six days later was cancelled.

Jingyang Palace.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Shiying stood up and said, "Please help me change my clothes. Let's go to Ganquan Palace."

Qiu Yu hesitated: "Your Majesty, didn't the Queen say that you are not allowed to go out unless there is something important?"

Jiang Shiying smiled: "Why is caring about His Majesty's health not considered important?"

After arriving at Ganquan Palace, they were blocked outside the palace gate again.

Jiang Shiying said politely: "Can I please help this father-in-law to send a message that Concubine Chen wants to see you?"

"Your Majesty has broken this servant." The young eunuch quickly bowed and said, "I will go in and inform you. However, I cannot guarantee whether His Majesty will see you or not."

Jiang Shiying nodded: "Thank you, father-in-law."

After a while, the palace door was opened. Jiang Shiying looked over with hope and saw Yao Xingde walking out of the door with the little eunuch who had just delivered the message.

"I have seen Concubine Chen." Yao Xingde saluted.

Jiang Shiying took two steps forward: "But Your Majesty wants to see me?"

Yao Xingde had a troubled expression on his face: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is still saying the same thing today. All the concubines are missing."

Jiang Shiying's face turned visibly gray, and her head hung slightly.

"That's alright." She sighed lowly, then took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, handed it to Yao Xingde and said, "Please, Eunuch Yao, could you please present it to Your Majesty on my behalf."

Yao Xingde respectfully took the brocade handkerchief with both hands and said, "Don't worry, Madam."

Jiang Shiying nodded and gave him instructions for a long time. They all wanted to persuade His Majesty to eat more meals, take good medicine, and pay attention to rest.

After Yao Xingde responded one by one, Jiang Shiying raised her eyes and glanced at the closed palace door, and then reluctantly led the people away.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared that Yao Xingde returned to the hall.

"Your Majesty." Yao Xingde walked to Lu Zhaolin's side and bowed, then took out the brocade handkerchief Jiang Shiying asked him to hand over, handed it to Lu Zhaolin with both hands, and said, "Concubine Chen asked this servant to present this to you."

Lu Zhaolin took the brocade handkerchief, opened it and looked at it. With a smile on his lips, he carefully folded the brocade handkerchief and said, "Put it away together with yesterday's skirt."

"No." Yao Xingde respectfully took the things and said, "Concubine Chen also told the slaves to keep an eye on you and eat well, take medicine on time, and get more rest."

"You are treating me like a child." Lu Zhaolin's tone was full of smiles: "How is Concubine Chen?"
