When Musitu was asked, he said, "Your grandmother said she had something to do, so let's wait for her for a while..."

Qing He felt a little strange after hearing this...

How could grandma suddenly be absent from such a palace banquet for family reunion?

What could be more important than meeting my grandson-in-law?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yaonian who was sitting next to her, and felt sweet in her heart...

Naturally, all this did not escape Concubine Jia's eyes. She raised her eyebrows coldly, turned around and whispered a few words to the palace maid Jinse behind her. Jinse agreed and went out.

Miao Wuchen suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, can I ask you how to become a winner in life like you? Not only do you control the economic lifeline of the court, but you also married a wife like my cousin who is of a distinguished family and gentle and beautiful... It's really enviable!"

The emperor glanced at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "Chen'er, you can't just see Yao Nian's glorious side, you also have to think about why he can be so successful... You are only a few years younger than him, so you should learn more from his outstanding qualities in the future! Sooner or later, someone will inherit my kingdom. Whoever performs better among you three brothers will take over my throne in the future!"

Concubine Cao was secretly surprised and said in her heart: "Three brothers? Aren't they two brothers? How can a child who is only ten years old compete with my son for the throne!"

She looked at Concubine Jia next to her with dissatisfaction, her eyes full of disdain and contempt! She thought that even if the emperor doted on you, he would never let a child inherit the throne! Otherwise, wouldn't the world belong to your Jiang family?

Concubine Jia looked at Miao Zhenting without any fear and said, "Your Majesty is such a joke. How great is his talent? How can he compete with his two brothers for the throne? Besides, he is not the kind of person who likes to compete with others. It would be good for him to be a leisurely prince in the future! Not to cause trouble for his brothers, and to live a peaceful life for a few years..."

After hearing this, Concubine Cao smiled and said, "Sister, don't be so modest! Among the three princes, the emperor likes Wu Ren the most! It's hard to say who will be the crown prince, so how can we know it's not Wu Ren?"

Miao Zhenting nodded and said, "That's right! All three of them are my children, and I value them all equally! No matter who sits on the throne in the future, they must treat the other two brothers well and not kill them all or hurt their own brothers!"

Concubine Jia immediately stood up, bowed gracefully and said, "Yes! I will follow your majesty's instructions and take good care of Wu Ren!"

Imperial Concubine Cao had no choice but to stand up and say, "Sister Jia is absolutely right! It is my responsibility to teach Wuhen, and I will do my best and will not be negligent!"

Although she said this, she sneered in her heart: "You really are starting a dyeing factory just because you are given a little color! Why is your son, a little kid, fighting for the throne? Even if the emperor really passes the throne to him, can he sit firmly on it?"

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became cold, and everyone was silent. When it came to the issue of succession to the throne, everyone had a tacit understanding...

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly ran in in a panic, came to Musitu, knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor, something terrible has happened! Concubine Rong has passed away!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this!

The Emperor frowned and asked, "What did you say? Rong Xuejiao is dead?"

The eunuch knelt on the ground and said, not daring to raise his head: "Yes!"

The emperor asked hurriedly, "Who is serving in the Chuyun Palace?"

"Your Majesty, it's the new Aunt Bei Yue and the senior palace maids Jing Fang and Yun Fang!"

Miao Zhenting looked at Mu Situ and said, "Father, please stay here and have a feast with everyone. I will go to the Chuyun Palace to take a look!"

Muse nodded and said, "Okay! If anything happens, remember to have someone report back..."

"Yes, I know!"

Miao Zhenting stood up and left in a hurry with several eunuchs...

Not long after, the chief eunuch Qin Ruihai suddenly rushed in and said, "Grand Emperor! Something terrible has happened! Prince Jing got the news from somewhere, saying that the death of Concubine Rong was related to the Empress Dowager. He has brought people to stop the Empress Dowager near the Qiming Palace and refused to let her leave. He said he wanted to seek justice for the Concubine!"

Muse was shocked when he heard this, and cursed angrily: "This rebellious son! He really doesn't give me peace of mind!" Then he stood up and led his men out.

When Qinghe heard this, she said in surprise, "Grandma is in danger!" and wanted to go over to take a look as well.

Jiang Yaonian frowned and said, "Wait here, I'll take someone over to see what's going on!"

Qing He firmly disagreed and insisted on going with him, and finally the two of them left at the same time...

Concubine Jia also stood up and went out with the palace maids.

Seeing this, the rest of the people had no choice but to follow them out. When Miao Wuchen saw Concubine Jia go out, he followed her out as well.

Miao Wuhen wanted to go there because Mo Qi followed his father, so he also wanted to go there to see his sweetheart...

As for Concubine Cao, seeing that everyone had gone, she was unwilling to fall behind, so she took the palace maids with her without hesitation.

When the crowd was halfway there, they saw Prince Jing and several of his followers stopping Old Madam Yan and refusing to let her go. They cried and shouted, "Today I must seek justice for my mother!"

The emperor stood there, frowning and scolding, "Zhen'an, you are so bold! How dare you act wildly towards the Empress Dowager? Get out of here right away! The Empress Dowager is of noble status, how can you stop her casually!"

Prince Jing burst into tears and said, "Brother! My mother was lying there resting peacefully, but after your mother came, she suddenly vomited blood and died with a horrified face? She didn't even have the chance to see me before she died... If it wasn't your mother's fault, how could she have died of a sudden illness?"

The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He shouted angrily: "You beast! Why are you crying here? Let the empress dowager go back immediately!"

Prince Jing turned around and saw his biological father coming. Instead, he cried even louder: "Father, you have never liked us mother and son... Now that my brother's biological mother is back, you naturally dislike us even more! My poor mother worked hard to serve you all her life, but she didn't even have a place in your heart before she died! She died so unjustly!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice said coldly, "Didn't your mother bring this upon herself?"

Prince Jing was stunned after hearing this, and asked angrily: "What did you say?"

Everyone looked at the woman who was speaking, and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman sneering with contempt on her face: "My mother had a good relationship with the emperor! But your mother coveted her status as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion! For this reason, she conspired with her best friend Miao Wanwan to set her on fire and burn her to death! If it weren't for my mother's good luck and escaping from death, I'm afraid she would have turned into a ghost wandering in the harem... But your mother has lived a glorious life until now, which is really a bargain for her! A vicious woman like her deserves to die!"

Prince Jing was stunned! It took him a long time to react. He pointed at the woman and cursed angrily: "You are talking nonsense! My mother was made a concubine by my father because of her beauty and virtue! She has never harmed anyone! Who instructed you to talk nonsense here!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman said coldly: "I am the emperor's biological sister, the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Mingxuan!"
