The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 117 Qinghe Enters the Palace
Inside the Chuyun Palace, Concubine Rong sat motionless on the couch, listening to Nanny Yue's report on the situation.
"The princess's maid said that it was the Jiang family's young lady who poisoned her, but there was no witness or physical evidence, it was just one-sided, and I couldn't tell what the truth was. But it was true that the princess was poisoned. She was lying there with a pale face and her eyes tightly closed, not moving. It didn't look like she was pretending."
After a while, Concubine Rong sighed and said, "This matter is very difficult to handle now. If it goes wrong, it will offend the Jiang family. Who would easily admit guilt when it is a matter of urgency? But if I tell the emperor, I am afraid that it will become a big deal and it will not end well..."
The head eunuch, Eunuch Jiang, came in and said, "My lord, Prince Jing is here!"
Concubine Rong frowned immediately, knowing why her son came to the palace at this time, and said unhappily: "Tell him to go back today! Just tell him that I am not in a good mood and don't have time to see him."
"Yes."
Eunuch Jiang turned around and went out, but came back in a moment later, "The prince is standing outside and refuses to leave. He said he has something important to discuss with you today..."
Concubine Rong sighed, and after a while she said helplessly: "Let him in."
"Yes."
Soon, the heroic and high-spirited Prince Jing came in, kowtowed and said, "Mother, I greet you. Please make the decision for Jingying!"
Concubine Rong sighed with a sad face and said, "I have heard about the incident, but there is no evidence. How can I make a decision for you? Have you found evidence, or did someone see it? The Jiang family is not easy to mess with. Can they honestly plead guilty and be punished based on the one-sided words of a maid?"
When Prince Jing heard this, he immediately became anxious and shouted, "But Jingying was poisoned in the Jiang family. No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with them!"
Concubine Rong said helplessly, "What do you want? Let me tell the emperor to arrest that young lady and torture her? Or let the entire Jiang family confess their crimes and be punished? If it were someone else, I would ask the emperor to issue an order to investigate the matter without you telling me. But the Jiang family is a person of such status that the emperor would not easily touch them for such a clueless case. Aren't you making things difficult for your mother?"
Prince Jing said aggrievedly: "We can't let this go easily. Ying'er was ordered to pray for you. Now she is lying there unconscious. We must make the Jiang family express their attitude anyway!"
Concubine Rong waved her hands impatiently and said, "I know, I know! Tomorrow I will have someone call that young lady into the palace to question her. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer then. But you must be mentally prepared in advance. The final result may not be what you expected. Don't cause trouble again then."
Prince Jing said indignantly: "As long as I can give Jingying justice, it's fine. I can't let her be murdered for no reason. Isn't this obviously a slap in the face of you and my brother?"
Concubine Rong looked at her eldest son for a long time without saying anything. She said with disdain in her heart, "Oh, you are still putting pressure on me. You were not even born when I was playing this trick. How could I be easily led by you?"
She said perfunctorily, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, but you are not allowed to cause trouble at the Jiang family after you go back! If you go, I will completely give up on this matter! Your brother is afraid of the four major families, so don't cause trouble for him! Otherwise, I will not let you off easily. Is it worth it to offend the most powerful chaebol family in the court for the daughter of a favorite concubine?"
Prince Jing stood there and dared not say a word, but in his heart he said unconvincedly: "It's worth it, for my precious A-Jun and Ying'er, everything is worth it!"
After he left, Nanny Yue asked, "My Lady, are we really going to call that young lady to the palace for questioning tomorrow?"
Concubine Rong smiled and said, "We still have to go through this simple process, otherwise I won't be able to give an explanation to my eldest son."
"Ah, but what if the matter is really related to that young lady? Wouldn't you be in a difficult situation then?" Nanny Yue asked cautiously.
Concubine Rong said slowly, "Don't worry. I won't make things difficult for the emperor just for the sake of my son, a daughter of a concubine. Even if the Jiang family didn't make trouble, Zhen'an's wife would come to me to plead for mercy, asking me to find a way to let the young lady of the Jiang family go. One is my own family, and the other is a tycoon who is not easy to mess with. I must be sick in the brain to offend them and vent my anger for a pair of concubines and mothers!"
……
In the upper room of the Jiang Mansion, Old Madam Jiang was chatting with Qinghe.
When she heard what happened, her face immediately darkened and she said, "How dare a little maid be so arrogant in the Jiang Mansion? It's really abominable! We let them live here for the sake of the emperor and the concubine, but I didn't expect Jingying to be so cunning and use the trick of inflicting pain on you! But don't worry! I will never let their evil plan succeed. You just stay at home. I don't know what they dare to do without any evidence!"
Qing He said worriedly, "Grandma, if this matter gets to the palace, will it implicate the Jiang family?"
Madam Jiang comforted her, "Don't worry. They won't dare to do anything until the matter is fully investigated. Unless the girl is really dead, then we can talk about it. Otherwise, it's no big deal."
The maid Luer came in and said, "Replying to the old lady, the imperial concubine just sent someone to ask the young lady to come to the palace tomorrow afternoon."
Qing He was startled and turned to look at Madam Jiang. The old lady comforted her, "Child, you can go without worry! It's no big deal, it's just a formality. Otherwise, we won't be able to give an explanation to Prince Jing's Mansion. When you go there, just explain everything clearly. The Concubine Dowager won't make it too difficult for you. No matter how noble Jingying is, she is just the daughter of a favorite concubine. She can't be compared with your status. The Emperor and the Concubine Dowager know this!"
The next day.
In the afternoon, Qinghe brought her maids Xiaer and Yuner to Chuyun Palace.
After the eunuch reported back, Nanny Yue came to the back hall and said, "My Lady, Madam Jiang is here!"
Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Let them in. I want to see what the girl who can beat Jingying looks like..."
Nanny Yue smiled and said, "I heard that she is very gentle and lovely, and she is very popular with the Jiang family's grandfather and grandson."
After listening to this, Concubine Rong said in surprise, "Oh? This girl is not simple. To be liked by the picky Jiang family, both old and young, she must have something extraordinary. Hurry up and bring her in so I can see her!"
