Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

"The high-ranking concubines in the palace are Consort Xian, Consort Chun, Consort Jing, Consort De, and Consort Zhuang."

"Whose family background is better?"

"The ones with good family backgrounds are Consort Xian and Consort Chun who gave birth to a princess."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Zhao looked at Chen Zhining strangely, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Chen Zhining smiled and shook his head. Then let's send someone to check on Concubine Xian, Concubine Chun, and the maids in the Queen's palace.

Check it out carefully.

Moreover, this virtuous imperial concubine was recently demoted to a concubine. Although she has retained her position for the time being, it is estimated that she will not be able to be promoted to the position of imperial concubine in a short period of time.

While the palace is in chaos, we can still investigate her thoroughly...

Chen Zhining was thinking this, and suddenly thought of something.

wrong!

Maybe we can try another method of checking.

With this method of investigation, it would be obvious if someone was guilty.

......

In the palace.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Da Ying (the virtuous concubine) slapped the king twice and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Why didn't you plead for me at that time! Why didn't you plead for me?!"

"Why?!"

“Isn’t it because I didn’t let you marry that bitch Lin that you didn’t plead for me?!”

"Do you know that all this is for you, mother!"

"If the Ninth Prince gave birth to a legitimate son or daughter so quickly, and you haven't given birth to a legitimate son or daughter yet... do you know how difficult your situation will be?!!"

"You are dull to begin with, and your father doesn't like you very much! If you didn't have a second prince who is not in tune with you, and a ninth prince who they already hate, you wouldn't have any of this! Do you think you will still be crowned as King Cheng?!"

"If you didn't have your mother's family background to hold you back, how could you have been named a prince? How could you?!"

Zhang agreed and continued to yell at the top of his lungs.

Then, he slapped King Cheng hard several times.

Prince Cheng just stood there and let Concubine Xian beat him.

In the magnificent palace, the lights were flickering, making it seem somewhat lonely and eerie.

King Cheng's face was half in shadow, and he gave a faint smile.

"Mother, isn't this all in accordance with your wishes?"

"The Ninth Prince shouldn't have to live like this, but now he lives worse than a dog."

"You and I know exactly what kind of life he has led in the palace over the past 24 years."

"You...what do you mean?!"

Zhang Da Ying was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned slightly horrified, "Why are you suddenly talking about this?!"

"What do you mean?!"

"What's the meaning?!"

Hearing this, King Cheng said slowly.

"These past few days, the Queen and my father couldn't stand the pressure from our mother's family in the previous dynasty, so they let you stay in the palace. Just do what you promised, and you won't be moved to the cold palace."

"But you were confined in the palace, and there are many things you don't know. You probably don't know...During this period, the Ninth Prince's wife, Chen Zhining, the Ninth Prince's wife, has been sending people to check on the maids in your palace."

"We even checked the maids in Concubine Chun's palace and the maids around the queen."

"what?!"

Zhang Da Ying was horrified, "She... why did she think of checking this?!"

Her lips trembled in fear.

The thought suddenly popped into her mind.

If what happened back then were discovered...then their whole family would die!

The whole family will die!

Even it is unclear whether King Cheng, the emperor's own son, can avoid being implicated!

Zhang Da Ying quickly asked: "What on earth is going on?!"

"I don't know why the Ninth Prince's wife suddenly checked this, but after I noticed her movements and actions, I immediately sent people to investigate, and then I found that some doctors from Yongzhou had recently come to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

"That was the genius doctor from Yongzhou who treated the empress when she was pregnant with her youngest son."

"In that case, the Ninth Prince's Consort is very likely to know something, but some of her methods are too obvious. I found out very quickly after checking them."

"I guess they will also find out about it in the Queen's Palace and Concubine Chun's Palace."

King Cheng said with a sarcastic smile: "They probably won't be able to find out what happened back then, after all, you did it so perfectly."

"But once it's discovered, we're done for."

"It's completely over!"

He sneered.

Zhang Da Ying said slowly while gritting his teeth.

"We are completely finished, so don't even think about it."

"You will definitely not be your prince. You will immediately be demoted to a county prince, or even a prince!"

"You have to know that the Ninth Prince, Lao Jiu, is only a prince now. He is already 24 years old... 24 years old, and he is only a prince."

"If the queen knew that her biological son, the youngest son she had given birth to with great effort, was swapped out by someone close to her through bribery, and became a palace maid's bastard!"

"She'll be pissed to death! Hahahaha!"

King Cheng frowned, looked at the frantic Zhang Da Ying, and said coldly: "With the power of our mother's family, we will make a comeback sooner or later, but some things still need to be dealt with."

"If what happened back then was discovered, we would be finished. Our whole family would die."

"So all those who were involved in this matter back then should be arranged to die."

Zhang agreed and nodded: "Those who can be arranged have already been arranged. As for those who cannot be arranged... the only one left is the one next to the queen."

"It seems that we have to arrange for her death as soon as possible."

"If she doesn't die, we'll all die!"

"Even if it will arouse the Queen's suspicion...but as long as she dies, everything will be easy, hahaha! After all, there is no evidence when she's dead!"

Zhang agreed and sneered.

......

More than ten days later.

In Fengning Palace.

Ling Dao handed the book to the queen, "Your Majesty, the New Year will come in a few days."

"During the Little New Year, should we invite all the princes and princesses to the palace for a banquet?"

The queen nodded lightly, then hugged her cloak tighter. The white crane cloak made her look elegant and graceful, and her face was as smooth as white jade.

The Queen said slowly: "They must be invited, especially Little Chang'an and the young prince. The Emperor has been missing them for a long time."

"It's just that what happened before, His Majesty was afraid that I would be unhappy, so he didn't let Princess Rong bring them in all the time..."
