If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Chapter 201 The Queen Watches the Play

When Jianqiu went to the palace, the queen was listening to the fourth prince reciting his lessons. "So a gentleman must be careful when he is alone. Zengzi said, "Ten eyes are watching, ten hands are pointing, how strict it is!" Wealth enriches the house, virtue enriches the body, and a broad mind enriches the body, so a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions."

The Fourth Prince was also smart. When he saw Jianqiu's expression when she came in, he knew that she had something to report to the Queen, so he tactfully stopped reciting, "Hongli, a gentleman must be cautious when he is alone. Do you understand?"

The Fourth Prince was stunned for a moment when he heard the Queen's words. He thought the Queen would just send him away, but he didn't expect her to continue asking him, "Oh, Queen Mother, a gentleman should be cautious, alone..."

"Yes, you must be cautious. You must act prudently even when you are alone. You must not get carried away or speak recklessly." The queen said with a smile. Although the emperor did not explicitly record the Fourth Prince as his legitimate son, he did not record it to other concubines either. In this case, as long as she could help the Fourth Prince ascend to the throne, she would be the next empress dowager.

"Yes, Empress Dowager, my son doesn't need to worry about that." Seeing the Empress nod with a smile, the Fourth Prince bowed and left.

"What's the matter?" The Queen was actually very satisfied with her current life. Concubine Hua was under the control of the Emperor, and the internal fighting among An and others was enough to watch.

"Your Majesty, a young eunuch in Bitong Academy confessed that he bribed the palace maids in Xianyue Pavilion to replace Concubine Shen's blood swallows with blood swallows with safflower added." Jianqiu spoke vaguely, which means that the young eunuch only confessed his own fault, but did not admit who instructed him to do so.

"How did safflower get mixed into the official bird's nest consumed by Concubine Wan?" the Queen was puzzled, but no one could answer her question.

"I have asked. It turns out that the two official swallows that Cui Jinxi had taken over were not poisonous. Huanbi has not left the house since she spoke to Cui Jinxi in the afternoon. The palace maid who cooked bird's nests was hanged in the Ministry of Punishment last night." Jianqiu reported.

"Dead? How can the Ministry of Punishment see that a good person was hanged in the Ministry of Punishment? Pass the order down, and all the managers of the Ministry of Punishment who worked last night will be punished for two months." This palace maid is a death warrior. Even if someone from the Ministry of Punishment stares at her, she will find a chance to die. However, such a big mistake cannot be avoided.

"Yes, your Majesty. But why did Concubine Wan have a miscarriage?" Jianqiu was really confused. The problem was obviously with Bitong Academy, but Concubine Wan would not poison herself, right? If she had planned to harm someone, no one would be seriously injured.

"She would never harm herself. I'm afraid she is being plotted against." The Queen was happy to watch the fun. After all, among this batch of newcomers, she, Zhen Huan, was the most noisy, causing trouble all day long.

"Then who plotted against her?" It was not difficult to figure out the connection between Blood Swallow and the other party, but the difficult part was why Lady Wan was poisoned and had a miscarriage. She still didn't understand this.

"It doesn't matter who it is now. Now that the little palace maid is dead, the clues are gone. We can only say that it is Concubine Wan who is unlucky." The queen sneered. If she had framed someone else in the past, now she would just watch the fun.

"Then will your Highness report this to the Emperor?"

"Don't be in a hurry. It's only been a few days. You should pay close attention. You have to give the emperor an explanation about the matter of Concubine Wan." It's not that she really needs an explanation. She just always feels that this matter is not over yet. Maybe there will be something better to come.

"Your Majesty, you want to..." Jianqiu subconsciously thought that the Queen wanted to do something.

When the queen saw Jianqiu's expression, she knew that she had misunderstood. She chuckled, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Now I have the Fourth Prince. I just need to protect myself and the Fourth Prince. No one can do anything to me."
