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

It wasn't until late at night that Lu Zhaolin asked someone to bring water in.

By the time they both finished cleaning and returned to the dormitory, Yao Xingde had already found out what happened today.

"Your Majesty, this servant has something to report."

At this point, he glanced at Jiang Shiying, unsure if he could continue in front of her.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiying asked: "Your Majesty, do you need me to avoid you?"

Lu Zhaolin took her hand and said, "No need."

Then, he told Yao Xingde: "Just tell me."

Yao Xingde first said "Promise" and then said: "Today's incident at Feishu Pavilion and Dongnuan Pavilion was arranged by Wu Youcheng.

Wu Youcheng arranged for four palace attendants, two palace ladies, a eunuch, and a little palace lady dressed as a eunuch.

The incense burned in Dongnuan Pavilion and the water in the bathtub were all contaminated with dirt. "

Hearing this, Lu Zhaolin sneered: "He is very thoughtful."

Yao Xingde continued: "Wu Youcheng only said at the beginning that he was trying to please His Majesty and wanted to show his beauty.

Later, when he was executed, he admitted that he had received a letter from his mother, the Queen Mother, and wanted to send someone to your dragon bed. "

Lu Zhaolin played with Jiang Shiying's hand and said: "Wu Youcheng, the eunuch in charge of the palace, is suspected of treason. The three Yi tribes and all the palace people involved must die together."

A single word spoken lightly can cost countless lives.

Yao Xingde bowed his head and accepted the order, knowing that the entire hot spring palace was about to undergo a major cleaning.

"Today, all the palace officials in front of the emperor will remember thirty big boards and they will be executed after the New Year's Day."

What happened today was because the people in front of the emperor acted carelessly, and a loophole was taken advantage of.

Even if the person serving in the bath is someone from the palace, the emperor should check it clearly. It was outrageous that such a ridiculous thing as a woman disguising herself as a man could happen under Lu Zhaolin's nose.

There are also dirty things in the water and incense. They should be checked out early on, rather than discovered after the incident.

If someone really wanted to assassinate him this time, Yao Xingde felt a chill running down his spine just thinking about it.

Everyone in front of the emperor, including him, should tighten their grip from top to bottom.

If not for His Majesty's kindness in what happened this time, Ganquan Palace would have needed a new group of people.

Yao Xingde knelt on the ground and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin looked at him condescendingly: "If there is another time, I will die to apologize."

Yao Xingde said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slaves will be careful from now on and will never dare to do it again."

Then, I heard Lu Zhaolin continue: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, is unable to recover from her old illness and has moved to the Jiutai Mountain Villa to recuperate. She will leave the palace within three days."

The Jiutai Mountain Villa is far away from Beijing, and it takes almost a month to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

Therefore, although Jiutai Mountain has beautiful scenery, the last two generations of emperors did not like to go there, and it has been idle for many years.

Rather than saying that the Empress Dowager went to Mount Jiutai to recuperate, it would be better to say that she was kicked out of the palace from a distance and imprisoned.

Lu Zhaolin gave his mother the empress dowager face, but since she refused to take it, don't blame him for being cruel.

He felt it was not enough, so he added: "All the men in the direct line of the Wang family became monks at Longquan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for the Queen Mother."

Previously, Duke Chengen's mansion was raided, but except for Duke Chengen himself who was exiled, the rest of the royal family still stayed in the capital, living a wealthy life with the support of their mother, the Empress Dowager.

With this decree coming, I am afraid that the whole Wang family's sky will collapse. If all the men in the direct line become monks, the roots of the entire direct line will be cut off.

The matter is not over yet.

"Look carefully to find out who gave the news that I was coming to the hot spring palace to my mother, the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, closed the palace to "recuperate", and all the claws and teeth in the palace were extracted. It was impossible for her to get the news and send the letter to the palace in advance by herself.

There must be someone in his harem who was unwilling to be left alone and extended a hand.

Yao Xingde saluted respectfully: "No".

The decree was sent from the Hot Spring Palace to the capital overnight, and there was an uproar in the harem.

Whether it was the concubines of the harem or the officials of the previous dynasty, they all tried to find out what happened that caused His Majesty to punish the Queen Mother and the Wang family so harshly regardless of the New Year and the mask of "a loving mother and a filial son".

Then, they inquired about the palace, and many palace residents were executed for "suspected conspiracy."

At this point, no one dares to check further.

Several censors who had been ready to admonish His Majesty for his unfilial piety towards his aunt, also kept their mouths shut.

Who dares to be involved in the matter of rebellion?

Of all the people, Shuncai was the most anxious.

She really didn't expect that her aunt, who was "recuperating in the palace", could still cause such a big thing.

I don't know when her little life will no longer be implicated. Before that, you should eat and drink, and live a good life day by day.

In the palace.

After Yao Xingde took the order and retreated, Lu Zhaolin was still filled with ice-cold aura.

But this did not scare Jiang Shiying.

She gently touched his brow with her fingers and said, "In the past few days, Aying has learned a very important truth."

Lu Zhaolin looked at her and heard her continue: "Don't let other people's mistakes affect your mood."

Lu Zhaolin asked: "I just don't understand why some people always fail to learn well."

Jiang Shiying looked him straight in the eyes and said, "Those who don't learn well, let them die."

Lu Zhaolin smiled and said, "Ah Ying, you really dare to say anything."

Jiang Shiying also smiled: "In front of His Majesty, I only speak the truth."

Lu Zhaolin's eyebrows gradually relaxed and he said, "I would like to thank Master Ah Ying for teaching me a lesson."

Jiang Shiying stretched out a hand: "Since Your Majesty said so, how about a thank you ceremony?"

Lu Zhaolin first tapped her nose and said: "Little money fan."

Then he took off a lapis lazuli bracelet from his left hand.

He knew that whether it was the way she was acting now or the words she just said, she just wanted to make him happy.

Not a concubine, carefully calming down an emperor.

But a woman is trying hard to make her beloved look beautiful.

Jiang Shiying took the bracelet and put it on her wrist while still saying, "That would be disrespectful for me."

The bracelet could be wrapped around his wrist twice, but it could be wrapped around Jiang Shiying's wrist more than three times. The looseness made her bones appear more slender.

Jiang Shiying only knew that it was something personal to him, but she didn't know its origin.

Such an ordinary bracelet is no lighter than the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant on his waist.

This was given to him by the late Emperor himself when he once did a homework better than his brothers when he was young.

Now, this thing that meant a lot to him was worn on the wrist of a woman who meant a lot to him. Lu Zhaolin looked at it and felt that they complemented each other perfectly.

Later, the two of them were lying on the bed hugging each other, talking endlessly, and then fell into sleep.

The next day, when Jiang Shiying woke up in the morning, her eyes had not yet been opened. She stretched her arms to the side, only to find that her side was empty.

The bed felt slightly cool, probably because I had been up for a long time.

She called out: "Ayuan."

After hearing the sound, A Yuan brought several little maids into the palace.

When she came to the palace this time, she only brought Ah Yuan with her, and the rest were people from Ganquan Palace.

Ah Yuan first bowed and said, "Happy birthday, my empress."

Several little palace maids also saluted and said, "Happy birthday to the Queen."

Jiang Shiying's voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Everyone, get up. You'll all be rewarded today."

Then, she sat up from the bed, took the teacup handed over by A Yuan, moistened her throat, and asked, "Where is your Majesty?"

A Yuan said: "Your Majesty got up half an hour ago and said he had some government affairs to deal with."

Jiang Shiying nodded and asked, "What time is it?"

A Yuan said: "It's the end of the Chen hour."

Jiang Shiying yawned again. No wonder she was so sleepy. When she went to bed last night, she estimated that it was almost Yin time. Doing the math, I only slept for about three hours last night.

Now that she was awake, she still felt like she was still in a dream. Her eyelids were drooped as she let A Yuan change her clothes.

After the wet handkerchief was applied to his face, he finally felt awake.

After everything was tidied up, the little palace maid came in with a lunch box.

She opened the lunch box and said, "Today is your birthday, and the dining room has prepared longevity noodles for you."
