The Three-Life Stone

Concubine Hui’s daily schedule was extremely simple.

He was either admiring the flowers, birds, fish and insects in the yard, or supervising Bei Ming Mo to not get too tired and eat on time. Occasionally, he would accompany Bei Ming Mo to drink tea and play chess.

"Hehehe, what a loving mother and filial son. Finally someone is taking care of the prince. It would be best if he could marry a princess and give birth to a little prince." Jiang Chen chatted gossipingly with Ying Wei San.

Shadow Guard Three also had a sense of déjà vu: "Not bad, not bad. We servants can't say anything, but this is the prince's mother."

The fourth shadow guard poked his head out and said, "Yes, yes, hurry up and give birth to a baby for us to take care of. Have you ever seen a master who is already 23 or 24 and still has no wife?"

"Yes, Yingying and I are in love with each other. We are just hoping that the master will pray to heaven and earth to grant us a marriage." Shadow Guard Five also quietly poked his head out in the dark.

Shadow Guard Three was shocked: "What? You actually found someone without telling us?"

Shadow Guard Four: "Please be a human being."

Seeing that the shadow guards were having internal conflicts and there was no gossip to talk about, Jiang Chen had to leave in disappointment. After walking a few steps, a happy smile appeared on his face again.

"Do you want to analyze it with Si Yu? Forget it, that blockhead knows nothing. If the prince is still not enlightened, then this icy face is like an iron tree that can never bloom."

"What are you mumbling about here?" Si Yu walked over expressionlessly and looked at Jiang Chen, who was walking on the road, shaking his head and talking to himself.

"Ah, no, I was just thinking about eating roast chicken or roast duck to replenish my body."

"Well, Wan Guo has indeed lost weight after the war, and needs to eat some more." Si Yu looked at Jiang Chen and said. Jiang Chen swallowed his guilt and rolled his eyes.

Concubine Hui stayed there for half a month. Since she was a nice person and treated her servants generously, few people said anything.

"Who is Mrs. Xia?" She asked Bei Ming Mo casually that day, as if she was asking a trivial question.

Bei Ming Mo was stunned for a second before he said, "What's the matter, mother?"

"I just heard the servants mention this person. I think this person has a simple and kind heart. I want to meet him. It's a pity that the beauty has already been taken. It's better for Mo'er to stay away from him." Concubine Hui said earnestly, "Mo'er should find a good marriage when he grows up."

"Don't worry, mother. Madam Xia and I have followed the rules and have no other intentions. As for the matter of getting a wife, I will just go with the flow." Hearing that they were not looking for Xia Jin specifically, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother is just saying it casually, Mo'er don't have to take it to heart. Today's lotus root and pork ribs soup is very good, Mo'er, try it."

"Yes, I know what my mother means." Bei Ming Mo responded indifferently.

The next day, Concubine Hui went to Xia's house to sit and drink tea, and Xia Jin welcomed her in hospitably.

Concubine Hui walked slowly and praised as she walked: "Madam Xia is so virtuous that it is rare to see her in a hundred years. Mo'er is lucky to get the help of Madam in Jiangzhou."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? It was the prince who was in charge of the overall planning. I just did some small things to facilitate the process."

“I’m talking about the prince’s illness a while ago. Madam Xia really helped a lot. I only have this one son, and I can’t imagine how painful it would be to lose him.” Concubine Hui said as she held her forehead with one hand and her chest with the other. The maid beside her came over to support her, as if she was going to collapse at the next moment.

"That's really a coincidence. I knew that the prince was going to fight the enemy and I couldn't help much. A while ago, I happened to find an herb to make a pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. I thought of giving it to the prince so that he could deal with any accidents on the road." Xia Jin said, expressing her surprise and worry. "Who knew it would really be used? Fortunately, the prince is blessed by heaven."

Concubine Hui looked at Xia Jin's chest and thought it was just a coincidence so she didn't continue talking.

"Hey, I didn't know Mrs. Xia could make medicine."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam Queen. I usually use the detoxification recipe handed down from my ancestors on my own."

"I don't know who Madam Xia's husband is. She is so lucky." Concubine Hui said with a laugh. The two of them got along well and joked with each other.

"It's getting late. I'll go back first. In a few days, Mo'er and I will be in different places again... Alas." Concubine Hui walked away with a hint of reluctance and sadness on her face.

"Congratulations, my dear wife."

After Concubine Hui left, Qing Huan ran out and said, "Is this Bei Ming Mo's mother? Wasn't she said to be a distant relative?"

"Shh, don't talk about such things." Xia Jin quickly blocked Qinghuan's curious eyes. Because she was afraid of Qinghuan's temper, Xia Jin specially asked Tao Hong to serve tea by the side today, but Qinghuan jumped out as soon as she left.

"Oh, okay, yeah."

"This matter is not that simple. You will understand it in a few days." Xia Jin softened her tone slightly as she looked at the aggrieved Qinghuan.

A few days later, Concubine Hui returned to the palace. Before returning, she arranged a marriage for Bei Ming Mo, saying that if the prince did not have someone he liked as a princess, this concubine could be taken in first, and she also found a daughter from a good family as a concubine, and they would prepare the date and things and settle things in the next year before preparing for the wedding. Bei Ming Mo did not agree or refuse.

Xia Jin was surprised that Concubine Hui stayed for such a long time and yet nothing happened before she went back. But after hearing that the prince was taking a concubine, she slowly figured it out. The situation was different, and the method was different this time. More people were involved, and things became tricky.

Xi Meng's days in the palace were extremely boring. She stayed alone in her empty room every night, and was repeatedly turned away during the day.

A few days later, the palace dealt with a eunuch who was in charge. Although dealing with a servant was just a small matter, there were basically no eunuchs in the palace, let alone this person who was in charge. Xi Meng still took a carrier pigeon, wrote a simple message and released it.

royal palace.

Concubine Hui went to the imperial study to find the emperor. The emperor looked at his beloved concubine with a serious expression and dismissed everyone.

"Xiao Beizi is dead." Concubine Hui's hand holding the note was still shaking slightly.

"What!" Bei Mingchen slammed the table and stood up. "Doesn't that kid respect him the most?"

"Isn't it? I was fine when I went there a few days ago, but this happened suddenly. And if it wasn't a coincidence, did Madam Xia really find out something?"

"He is warning us not to stretch our hands too far." Bei Mingchen narrowed his eyes.

An eunuch who had taken care of him since he was a child, who was both his teacher and friend. When he was a child, he even said that he hoped this eunuch could also be a family member. Let's call him Xiao Beizi, because both names contain the same character. When he was granted a fiefdom, in addition to the two close confidants who usually followed him, he was also very excited when the emperor allowed Xiao Beizi to follow him. How could he have changed in just a few years?

Maybe he really discovered something. Even if Bei Ming Mo is not interested in women now, his beloved mother came from afar to visit him, worried about the concubine chosen by her son. How could she be so heartless? And taking action against the chess piece that she had subdued for so many years at this time is a warning to him.

"How dare he? It's just a worthless life." Bei Mingchen was angry. He should have taken action earlier.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if he knows about the poisoning, we are his blood relatives. It's just that I have second thoughts. I don't think he can cause any trouble."
