Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

On the eve of Emperor Rong Sheng being buried in the imperial mausoleum, the entire palace was filled with a solemn and heavy atmosphere.

At this critical moment, Aunt Qiu rushed over in a panic. Her steps were quick and messy, as if she brought very bad news.

"Empress! Something terrible has happened. Something has happened in Jingxian Palace!" Nanny Qiu said breathlessly, her voice filled with anxiety and fear.

Jiang Chuwei was shocked and asked quickly, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Aunt Qiu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said, "I just received news from Jingxian Palace that Concubine Jing actually...actually hanged herself to death!"

Hearing this shocking news, Jiang Chuwei couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of astonishment. She never expected such a thing to happen, and for a moment she was a little dazed.

The first thing that came to her mind was, how could Concubine Jing love the late emperor so much that she even committed suicide for love?

Aunt Qiu's face turned very ugly. She continued worriedly, "The concubine committed suicide. This is a rebellious act! Moreover, if this matter gets out, it will not be good for your reputation. Those who don't know the truth may even think that you, the queen, have treated them unfairly!"

Jiang Chuwei knew that this matter was of great importance, so she made a prompt decision and said, "Let's go! Let's go and take a look!" After that, she hurried to Jingxian Palace with a group of followers.

As soon as they entered Jingxian Palace, they saw Concubine Jing lying quietly on the bed, as peacefully as if she was sleeping.

However, the pale face and closed eyes indicated that life had quietly left.

When the palace maid saw the queen arriving, she hurriedly presented a suicide note.

Jiang Chuwei took the suicide note and glanced at it.

The meaning expressed in the suicide note is nothing more than that Concubine Jing was willing to follow the late emperor to show her loyalty.

Jiang Chuwei sighed softly and murmured to herself: "What a passionate woman, I just don't know if such deep love is worth it..."

While feeling emotional, she realized that this matter must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible.

After all, Concubine Jing was of noble status, and how to handle her funeral would ultimately have to be decided by the Emperor himself.

Not long after, the Emperor heard the news and came. He came to Concubine Jing's bedside and stared at her silently for a moment, without showing much sadness or surprise on his face.

The emperor didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Concubine Jing's choice.

In the Daqing Dynasty, there has never been such a traditional custom of burying concubines alive with the dead.

However, if a concubine willingly followed the late emperor, people would not be surprised or blame her.

I can only admire your deep love.

After all, personal emotions and decisions are often difficult to measure with common sense.

Concubine Jing resolutely made the decision to follow the late emperor, which surprised everyone.

But since she has made up her mind, others can only respect her wishes.

So, Lin Muheng said: "Tomorrow she will be buried together with the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum."

Jiang Chuwei stood quietly beside the bed, staring for a long time at Concubine Jing who was lying on the bed lifeless, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.

Is life really so worthless? Moreover, even if she followed the late emperor, she would not be buried with him.

Just for a man, especially the emperor who had never treated her well for more than ten years, Concubine Jing was able to make such a decisive decision to give up her life.

Isn't it good to live well? What's more, the late emperor specially entrusted the Ninth Prince to her care before his death.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuwei couldn't help but shook her head slightly and sighed: "It seems that the late emperor has entrusted the wrong person this time!"

At this moment, the Ninth Prince took a step with his short legs and saw Concubine Jing lying motionless on the couch.

He quickly ran to the bed and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Mother!" However, no matter how he called, Concubine Jing remained unresponsive.

Seeing that his mother ignored his cries, the Ninth Prince burst into tears and cried even more sadly: "Mother! Why don't you pay attention to Lang'er?"

Jiang Chuwei felt so distressed when she saw the little figure crying so heartbrokenly.

This child has a very unfortunate fate. First, he lost his biological mother, and then he finally became close to Concubine Jing, with whom he had just developed some feelings. Now he has encountered such a misfortune and was ruthlessly abandoned by Concubine Jing.

So, what will this child do in the future? Who can give him warmth and love and accompany him to grow up healthily?

Jiang Chuwei just felt a headache.

At this time, Lin Muheng hurriedly arranged the burial of Concubine Jing and left in a hurry.

As the king of a country, he has a mountain of political affairs to deal with every day and has no time to take care of other things.

Not only that, at night, he had to go in person to keep vigil for the late emperor.

After all, national affairs are of primary importance, and she knows this very well.

Then, Jiang Chuwei turned her gaze to the Ninth Prince who was standing aside. The child was still young and looked very pitiful and helpless.

She couldn't help but frown and think to herself: I can't just leave him to those eunuchs to take care of him, right?

You know, this palace is full of slaves who follow the wind and flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

What if they don't take good care of the Ninth Prince and something goes wrong?

After all, he is the emperor's younger brother.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuwei ordered: "Hurry and take the Ninth Prince to Fengning Palace!"

When this order came out, the eunuchs and palace maids who were in charge of looking after the Ninth Prince were stunned at first, and then their faces showed joy, and each of them could not contain their inner joy.

After all, everyone knows that Fengning Palace is where the current Queen resides.

Now that the Ninth Prince can live there, it means that in the future he will thrive under the care of the Queen.

In this way, the Ninth Prince's situation will certainly improve a lot, and the lives of them as servants will naturally become much better.

However, at this moment, the ninth prince, who was still in his infant clothes, was already crying heart-wrenchingly.

The little guy was crying loudly and calling for his mother incoherently.

It was a pity that no matter how he cried and shouted, Concubine Jing, who was lying quietly on the couch, showed no response, as if she was asleep.

Soon, the palace servants followed Jiang Chuwei's orders and carefully carried the crying Ninth Prince away.

With the departure of the Ninth Prince, the originally noisy Jingxian Palace suddenly became much quieter, with only a few sobs occasionally heard.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuchs and palace maids began to work in an orderly manner and began to arrange the affairs after Concubine Jing's death.

Jiang Chuwei stood there quietly, took a last deep look at the scene before her, and then whispered to the palace maids and eunuchs beside her: "You must do your best to handle this matter, and don't make any mistakes."

After finishing her explanation, Jiang Chuwei slowly turned around and walked away with heavy steps. But as she left, she couldn't help but think to herself: "Jing Fei! For a heartless man, you are willing to sacrifice your life. Is it really worth it..."
