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

Jiang Shiying sighed again: "Empress, do you really think they are telling the truth? They are in a place like Yongxiang, no matter if you give them some benefits or some threats, what do you want them to do? What if it doesn’t work?”

These words made the queen deep in thought.

After a while, she raised her head and asked, "Are you really not you?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head: "I really am not a concubine."

There was a cry in the queen's voice: "I have reached this point. If it is true that you have harmed Yongning, please do a good job and tell me, okay? You are also a mother, and this love for your son, you Maybe you feel the same way?"

Jiang Shiying's face showed sympathy and regret: "Empress, this matter really has nothing to do with me.

The only enmity between the concubine and Princess Yongning is that Princess Yongning pushed the concubine into the water.

But for this matter, His Majesty has already punished the princess. In my concubine's heart, this matter has long since passed. "

The light in the queen's eyes gradually extinguished with Jiang Shiying's words.

She lowered her head and murmured to herself: "If it's not you, who else could it be?"

Jiang Shiying waited for a long time, but when she saw that the queen had no intention of speaking again, she stood up and bowed: "I have resigned."

As soon as he went out, A Yuan and Hongying hurriedly greeted him.

"Mother, are you okay?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head.

A Yuan looked around and asked in a low voice: "Why did the Queen summon you suddenly?"

Jiang Shiying said: "I don't know who instigated the Queen to think that the death of Princess Yongning is related to this palace."

A Yuan was surprised: "This is really a huge injustice. Could it be that it was just because of this that the Queen wanted to frame you?"

"That's not it." Jiang Shiying nodded and said worriedly: "I don't know who the person behind this is. This person is so cruel and vicious. He took advantage of the empress's motherly heart in the harem. Stirring up trouble. I need to tell His Majesty about this matter as soon as possible."

Such a conversation quickly spread into the closed palace door behind them.

The door to the inner room of the dormitory has been opened. Lu Zhaolin and Yao Xingde came out and sat on the left side of the upper room.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen: "Do you understand what Concubine Chen said?"

The queen nodded.

Lu Zhaolin asked again: "Is this the show you invited me to watch today?"

The queen lowered her head and remained silent.

Lu Zhaolin sighed and asked, "Who told you that Yongning's death was related to Concubine Chen?"

The queen finally raised her head and looked at him: "It's the beautiful lady."

"It turned out to be her." Lu Zhaolin was surprised for a moment, and then ordered Yao Xingde: "Let people go back to the palace, strictly interrogate the palace people in Yongxiang, and then ask Lin You to send people to the imperial mausoleum to check those two The death of the palace maid.”

···

At this time, Jiang Shiying had already led people outside the Mingguang Hall.

She was about to walk in, but was stopped by Tian Zhong, who was guarding the door.

"What does Eunuch Tian mean by this?" Jiang Shiying asked, "Your Majesty has promised me that there is no need to inform you when entering the palace."

Tian Zhong smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty, I'm not a slave trying to stop you. There are actually a few adults from the previous dynasty inside, so it's not convenient for you to come in."

Jiang Shiying sneered in her heart, why is it inconvenient for the former dynasty's adults to enter? Go ahead and cheat!

According to her, there is a high probability that Lu Zhaolin is still in Mingxiu Pavilion at this time!

Didn't the Queen's words today just want to induce her to admit that the death of Princess Yongning was related to her?

Pity the poor queen? If she really pitied the queen, the next person to be pitied would be herself who was punished by the furious Lu Zhaolin!

Thinking like this, Jiang Shiying said: "Then I will wait here."

"How can I expect you to wait here on such a hot day? If Your Majesty knew about it, I don't know how distressed you would be!" Tian Zhong said flatteringly: "Otherwise, you can go back to Xiangying Residence first and wait for the visit of the previous court. Now that the adults have left, this servant will immediately report to Your Majesty that you have been here?"

Jiang Shiying deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, then there will be Father Laotian."

When Jiang Shiying returned to Xiangying Residence, Concubine Ning was still waiting for her.

Seeing that she had returned safely, Concubine Ning stood up and said, "As long as your Majesty is fine, Xun'er is about to leave school, so I will go back first."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Shiying stopped her: "The small kitchen has recently developed two fresh snacks. I think Xun'er will like them. You can take them back for him to try."

Ning Guifei did not refuse and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, empress."

"Between you and me, why are you talking about this?"

After seeing off Ning Guifei, Jiang Shiying changed her clothes and went to the side room to play with Ping An.

Not long after, Lu Zhaolin came.

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "Why is Aying so pure? She has become the empress of the palace, why doesn't she even have a pendant on her ears?"

Jiang Shiying held Ping An in her arms, stood up and met him before saying, "It's not because of him. These days, no matter what is hanging on A Ying's body, whenever Ping An sees it, he will reach out to grab it."

Lu Zhaolin didn't take it seriously: "Ping An likes it, so just give it to him."

Jiang Shiying gave him an angry look: "What your Majesty said, it seemed as if A Ying, the biological mother and concubine, was stingy when it came to Ping An. She gave it to him just because she was afraid that he would stuff it into his mouth as soon as he got the thing in his hand. .”

"I didn't think of this, it's because you thought carefully."

As he spoke, Lu Zhaolin took Ping'an into his arms and sat on the soft couch.

Ping An refused to be held by him peacefully, but instead climbed up on him vigorously.

Lu Zhaolin was not angry, but was surprised: "Ping An has become much stronger. His little arms and legs are quite strong."

Jiang Shiying looked at the father and son tenderly, with a smile on her lips: "No. Your Majesty should give Aunt Wan a good reward. They have cultivated Ping An like this. They are really thoughtful."

Lu Zhaolin protected Ping An with his right hand, and patted Jiang Shiying's hand gently with his left hand: "Aunt Wan and the others will naturally reward you, and you can't miss out on your reward."

Jiang Shiying glanced at him: "I won't accept this reward."

"Oh?" Lu Zhaolin was a little surprised.

Jiang Shiying said: "Ah Ying is Ping An's mother-in-law, and Ping An is Ah Ying's biological son. Taking good care of his body is what Ah Ying, as a mother, should do. What has become of this invitation?"

She said this naturally, but it made Lu Zhaolin feel a little dazed.

He suddenly remembered that when Ah Ying first entered the palace, he had been angry about the imperial concubine's favor with a girl.

It's not that the imperial concubine is angry for asking for favors, but that the imperial concubine is angry that she even wants to take advantage of her own daughter.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Shiying with eyes as soft as water. In this palace, even between mother and son, mother and daughter, family affection is often mixed with interests.

Only Ah Ying, Ah Ying's heart for peace is pure and loving, without any impurities.

"I made a mistake."

As soon as these words came out, Yao Xingde and Nanny Wan who were standing by the side were both shocked.

Your Majesty, with his status, actually admitted that he was wrong in front of Concubine Chen?

Jiang Shiying didn't seem to notice, she just blinked at him and said, "For the sake of Your Majesty's first offense, I will forgive Your Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin laughed: "Thank you very much, Concubine Chen, for your generosity."
