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

Ping An got tired of crawling on Lu Zhaolin's body for a while, broke away from his arms, and climbed onto the soft couch to play.

Lu Zhaolin and Jiang Shiying looked at him and chatted.

Suddenly, I heard Lu Zhaolin ask: "Has Ying gone to Mingguang Hall to ask for an audience today?"

"Ah!" Jiang Shiying said angrily: "Your Majesty didn't mention it, and I almost forgot about it."

Lu Zhaolin had a smile on his lips: "Seeing that you are so anxious, what are you doing?"

Jiang Shiying straightened her expression: "Your Majesty, do you know why the Queen forced Concubine Ning to frame Ah Ying?"

"Why?"

"Someone fabricated evidence and told the Empress that Princess Yongning's death was related to Ah Ying."

"What?" Lu Zhaolin's pupils shrank, looking extremely surprised.

Jiang Shiying laughed secretly in her heart. In this palace, not only are the women good at pretending, but His Majesty, who is above the throne, is actually a good player in the troupe business.

She was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

"When Ah Ying heard about it, she was also shocked. The Queen Mother said that the two maids guarding the imperial mausoleum for Princess Yongning died. She suspected that the two maids faked their own deaths to escape."

"Fake death?" Lu Zhaolin asked: "You are so good, why do you suspect that they are faking their own death?"

Jiang Shiying opened her mouth wide and covered her lips with her hands: "Yeah, I didn't ask about this. It's just that the Queen seems to be very sure that these two little maids are related to Princess Yongning's death."

"anything else?"

"The Queen also said that the palace people who had served Princess Yongning in Yongxiang said that they had seen the two palace maids interacting with Jingyang Palace many times." At this point, she pulled Lu Zhaolin's sleeve: "Your Majesty Mingjian, I don’t even know the names of the two palace maids, so how can I have contact with them?"

"Don't worry, Ah Ying, I naturally believe in you." Lu Zhaolin patted her hand and asked, "Did the Queen tell me who brought this matter to her?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head: "Ah Ying didn't ask. Why not ask Ah Ying to see the queen again and ask more questions?"

Lu Zhaolin said: "That's all, I'll have someone go and find out everything."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Shiying said, "When I think that Princess Yongning has been gone for so long, and there are still people who want to provoke disputes in the harem, I feel chills in my heart."

Lu Zhaolin seemed to have no intention of saying, "Seeing as you didn't mention this matter last night, I thought you weren't afraid."

"How can I not be afraid?" Jiang Shiying lowered his head slightly and sighed: "It's just that Your Majesty has already punished the Queen. If I persist in this matter, won't I want to embarrass you? Now that I know this Afterwards, there was actually someone hiding in the head, and the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became."

After saying this, Lu Zhaolin felt distressed and worried.

He held Jiang Shiying in his arms and said warmly: "Don't worry, Ah Ying, I will protect you."

Jiang Shiying only said: "A Ying believes in Your Majesty."

···

The people sent back to the palace to investigate returned to the imperial court the next day.

In the Mingguang Hall.

"What did you say? They're all dead?"

Lu Zhaolin leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, narrowing his eyes slightly and staring at Tao Xinfang who was kneeling on the ground.

Tao Xinfang repeated: "Your Majesty, a month ago, more than ten palace people died of diarrhea in Yongxiang due to eating unclean things. Those palace people who had served Princess Yongning were all among them. .”

Lu Zhaolin was silent for a long time with a sullen face, and then uttered a few words: "It's really good!"

Two days later, Lin You returned from the imperial mausoleum.

"Your Majesty, both coffins have been opened and examined, and each contains the bones of a woman. Judging from the size of the skeletons, they are indeed those two little palace maids."

"I understand."

···

What happened in Yongxiang quickly reached Jiang Shiying's ears.

"Dead?" Jiang Shiying was a little surprised.

A Yuan nodded and asked, "Did Yimei silence her?"

"It can't be her." Jiang Shiying was very sure.

"Why?" A Yuan was a little surprised: "Yimei is afraid that the people in Yongxiang will reveal her identity, so it is reasonable to silence them, isn't it?"

"Why would the people in Yongxiang reveal Yimeiren's identity?" Jiang Shiying raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "If you were Yimeiren, would you use your own people to do this?"

Ah Yuan opened his mouth, looking a little stunned.

Jiang Shiying spoke slowly: "I'm afraid, Yi Meiren wants those palace people in Yongxiang to be silenced more than anyone else."

After all, she was the one who brought this matter to the attention of the Queen, and Lu Zhaolin was afraid that she had already made a note of it in his heart.

If the people in Yongxiang are silenced again, the suspicion of Yimei Ren will instantly rise from three to seven to eight.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Jiang Shiying's lips: "We haven't even finished crossing the river yet, and the noble concubine has started to demolish the bridge?"

What she meant by this was that she had undoubtedly determined that the person behind the silence was the imperial concubine.

She ordered: "Let this matter be revealed to Yi Meiren's ears, and do it carefully. It doesn't matter if it's a little slower, don't leak any traces of us."

Ah Yuan said "Promise" and went out to arrange the matter.

···

Get up early this morning.

In the Mingguang Hall, Yao Xingde was waiting for Lu Zhaolin to change clothes when he suddenly heard him ask: "What's the date today?"

"Twenty-five."

August 25th is the day when the imperial army escorts the queen back to the palace.

Lu Zhaolin was silent for a moment and then asked, "Has everything been arranged?"

Yao Xingde said: "It's been arranged. The deputy commander of the imperial army will escort the queen with a hundred imperial troops."

Lu Zhaolin nodded slightly, and then sighed: "In the future, I hope she can live peacefully in Fengyi Palace."

As a couple, he didn't want to get to the point where he had to abolish his wife. But if...

He thought about the Phoenix Seal again. Keeping it with the Queen Mother was not a long-term solution after all. Maybe, it's time to mention an imperial concubine?

At the beginning of Sishi, the queen was waiting for the bus at the north gate of Jingxi Garden.

After all, she was a legitimate queen, but everyone knew that she had made a big mistake and was only one step away from being deposed.

But as long as she is not deposed, according to etiquette, the concubines still have to come to see her off.

Before boarding the carriage, the queen suddenly stopped and said to the beautiful lady, "Come forward, beautiful lady."

Yi Meiren was surprised, but she still took two steps forward obediently.

The Queen leaned into her ear and whispered something.

After saying that, she gently patted Yimeiren's face, and without waiting for Yimeiren's reaction, she entered the carriage without looking back.

"Hey, after all, they are sisters. The queen doesn't care about anyone, she only cares about her cousin Yi Meiren." He Meiren's words were full of gloating.

The two slaps the Queen slapped on the beauty's face were too ironic and humiliating.

Just by this action and the sudden change in Yi Meiren's expression, we knew that what the queen said was not good.
