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

About half a day later, Ayuan came to Jiang Shiying to reply.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rong has a Taoist priest named Wuchenzi by his side."

"Wuchenzi? Have you found out his details?"

"After checking, he worked as an apprentice in a medical clinic in his early years. Later, he took the wrong medicine and killed someone, so he ran away secretly. After that, he started pretending to be a magician and started a business of deception and abduction."

Jiang Shiying chuckled softly: "That's good. His life will not be considered unjust if he dies."

···

Ten days later, Prince Rong brought Taoist priest Wuchenzi into the palace. Somehow, the always wise and mighty emperor Lu Zhaolin was bewitched by Wuchenzi and believed that he was an accomplished master. He was also given the title of "Wuchen Immortal Master" and granted him a residence in the Changchun Palace. .

After Jiang Shiying heard about this, she put down the book in her hand, stood up and said, "Let's go. As a virtuous and virtuous queen, it's time for me to go to His Majesty to remonstrate with you."

That day, a violent quarrel broke out between the emperor and the empress.

Jiang Shiying has been in the palace for more than ten years. This is the first time that such a fierce conflict has arisen between her and Lu Zhaolin.

Naturally, the former harem paid great attention to this matter. After learning that it was the Queen who advised His Majesty not to believe in demons, but was scolded by His Majesty instead, Jiang Shiying was praised and affirmed, and Lu Zhaolin was praised. He was secretly slandering - What's going on, Your Majesty? Being aggressive in the prime of life, but becoming dull in old age, could it be an ineradicable curse on the emperor?

After Jiang Shiying, Prince Ping'an, Prince Jing, the emperor's brother, Shangshu Ling and other important ministers and trusted ministers all gave advice on the matter of "Wuchen Immortal Master", but all failed.

Prince Rong's Mansion, which had always been neglected, received several waves of rewards from Ganquan Palace.

Prince Rong sent away another wave of young eunuchs who came to offer rewards, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He secretly thought that this was just the beginning. From now on, he would get closer and closer to that position step by step.

This is indeed just the beginning, but the direction of things is not as Prince Rong wants.

One evening more than ten days later.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, our house is surrounded!"

"What? How is it possible?" Crown Prince Rong stood up in shock and walked towards the door of the mansion: "I want to see who is so bold."

Not far after walking out of the study, he met the commander of the Imperial Army.

Prince Rong's heart trembled, and he raised his hands: "General Zhou, I wonder if Prince Rong's palace has offended you?"

The current commander of the Forbidden Army is named Zhou Mingzheng. On the surface, he was promoted by Lu Zhaolin, but in fact he is Jiang Shiying's man!

He said with a solemn expression and a serious smile: "According to the Queen Mother's decree, the Crown Prince Rong joined forces with the Demon Dao to assassinate the king and commit rebellion. The crime is unforgivable. Take it down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Guards behind him all responded and poured into Prince Rong's Mansion.

When Prince Rong was being held, he was still exclaiming: "The Queen Mother? Where did the Queen Mother come from? Hasn't the Queen Mother died long ago?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at him, but he didn't have the kindness to explain his doubts.

···

Three hours ago.

In Fengyi Palace, Jiang Shiying was talking hand-to-hand with the imperial concubine. Suddenly someone sent word that it was Xiao Changzi who was in front of the emperor and wanted to see him.

Jiang Shiying announced his entrance.

Xiao Changzi bowed his head respectfully and saluted: "Empress, Your Majesty calls you to go to Ganquan Palace immediately."

After her words fell, before Jiang Shiying could say anything, the imperial concubine put down the chess piece in her hand, with a smile on her lips: "I just said that your majesty can't bear to keep being cold to you. Young Master Changzi, isn't this? coming?"

The imperial concubine's words were not without reason.

Ever since the emperor and empress had a big quarrel in Ganquan Palace, Jiang Shiying had not set foot in Ganquan Palace for nearly a month, and Lu Zhaolin had never been to Fengyi Palace.

If that's the case, it's just a conflict between the most noble couple in the world, and there's no telling whether they will reconcile one day.

After that, Lu Zhaolin actually favored several minor maids in Ganquan Palace. Although they only granted titles to unworthy officials, this was the first time in more than ten years.

Among the concubines, it is inevitable that some people have small thoughts, and some, like the noble concubines, have been worried about this because they have firmly sided with the queen.

When Xiao Changzi came today, regardless of Jiang Shiying's own thoughts, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief for her.

Jiang Shiying only smiled faintly: "I won't keep you any longer."

"It's His Majesty's side that matters most."

After saying that, the imperial concubine bowed and left.

After she went out, Xiao Changzi looked at the trustworthy people in the hall, leaned into Jiang Shiying's ear, and whispered something.

Jiang Shiying had a clear understanding in her heart, but on her face she just pretended not to hear anything.

When she arrived at Ganquan Palace, as soon as she entered the back hall, she saw Yao Xingde coming up to her, and then knelt down and kowtowed: "Queen, Your Majesty has passed away."

"What?" Jiang Shiying swayed and almost fell down, thanks to Qiu Yu's timely support.

"What's going on?" She took two steps forward and asked sharply.

"Today Immortal Master Wuchen sent over a newly made elixir. When Your Majesty took the elixir, he immediately started to bleed from all his orifices, and in the blink of an eye, he stopped breathing."

"Where is your Majesty?"

"The minions were placed on the dragon bed."

Jiang Shiying continued to enter, and not long after, she saw Lu Zhaolin lying on the dragon bed, bleeding from all his orifices, and his face was pale.

She tentatively stretched out her hand to feel his breath.

For a while, there was nothing.

Tears flowed out instantly.

"What about the demon?" Jiang Shiying asked coldly.

Yao Xingde said: "I sent someone to imprison him in the side hall."

"Bring people here."

Not long after, Immortal Master Wuchen and his two disciples were brought in.

The three of them knelt down in the hall with a plop.

The two apprentices were shaking like chaff, while Immortal Master Wuchen begged for mercy: "The Queen Mingjian, the poison was not caused by the old Taoist. The old Taoist was unjust in this matter."

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows: "Unjustly accused?"

Immortal Master Wuchen nodded repeatedly.

"You mean, His Majesty didn't take the elixir you offered and then lost his life?"

Immortal Master Wuchen choked and argued: "This medicine was given by the old Taoist. However, the old Taoist used a Tai Square Zi. It is impossible for people to bleed to death!"

Others don’t know how he gained His Majesty’s trust, but doesn’t he himself know?

Not relying on those tiger and wolf medicines!

But the tiger and wolf medicine, although effective, is harmful to the root of the person. How could he dare to give it to His Majesty every day?

Therefore, occasionally, he would use some Taishangzi to practice some medicine and offer it to him, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults.

At first, His Majesty asked people to test the poison before taking the medicine.

Later, I forgot which day it was. As soon as he offered the medicine, His Majesty couldn't wait to put it into his mouth, and then waved him away.

When he left the palace, he heard His Majesty order: "Send Caiqing over."

Cai Qing is one of the newly appointed official ladies by His Majesty during this period.

Immortal Master Wuchen still sneered in his heart at that time, the emperor who is above ten thousand people can only do this in this kind of thing.
