Reborn imperial concubine

After half a month of patrolling in Yingtian Mansion, one day before leaving, something serious happened in the palace.

At the very beginning of Maoshi that day, when Emperor Qi You had breakfast with all the princes, cakes and goat milk were served on the table. among.

The First Prince was talking about the achievements reported by the officials today.

Jiang Han picked up the goat's milk and took a sip, concentrating on pondering the hidden meaning of the eldest prince's words.

Emperor Qi You also looked at the First Prince.

His Highness the Ninth Prince sat beside the Second Highness.

Since sharing breakfast with his father was half an hour earlier than usual in Concubine You's Compassionate Palace, Jiang Chenyue looked a little dull at this time, staring straight at the chopsticks in the maid's hand, and gently moved the Pastry sandwiched into a bowl.

The pastry is less than an inch square, just one bite.

Not long after, Emperor Qi You lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks, the eldest prince immediately ended the conversation with interest, the warm pavilion fell into silence, and everyone began to eat.

Just as Emperor Qi You picked up the pastry and was about to send it to the entrance, Jiang Chenyue called out to him: "Father."

His voice was still hoarse when he just woke up.

The emperor put down the pastries and turned his head to look over, and saw the Ninth Emperor Numbly looking at the pastries in the bowl with her head tilted. The emperor couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "Haven't you woken up yet?"

On the side, Jiang Han raised his hand and patted Little Huangmei's head, and said softly, "We're leaving in an hour, eat quickly."

"Father." Jiang Chenyue raised her head and asked doubtfully, "Where is Eunuch Feng?"

As soon as the words came out, Emperor Qi You seemed to wake up from a dream, looked sideways, thought for a while, and then replied: "Probably still packing, busy outside, don't ask, just eat quickly. "

His Highness Jiu stood up suddenly when he heard the words, walked around the long table, walked up to Emperor Qi You, bent down and carefully stared at the porcelain bowl in front of him.

Emperor Qi You was surprised and said: "What are you doing? Don't mess around!"

Jiang Chenyue frowned slowly, straightened up, glanced sideways, raised her hand and pulled out a silver hairpin from the head of the serving maid, then inserted the hairpin straight into the pastry with her hand back, and said in a low voice: "This dish is poisonous."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Qi You's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Chenyue pulled out the silver hairpin neatly and placed it in front of his eyes——

The silver hairpin sank into the tip of the pastry, and it was completely blackened!

Jiang Han and the eldest prince were stunned, immediately threw away the bowls and chopsticks, stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Come on!"

Emperor Qi You was startled, held Jiang Chenyue's wrist and said in a trembling voice: "What's going on! What's going on!" Then he turned around and scolded his attendants: "Kill the talent! Bring in the imperial cook and the meal delivery people!"

A vigorous poisoning case kicked off.

Gu Sheng, who was still having dinner in the lower palace of the Ninth Prince, was also called to the square in front of the Tai'an Hall of the Xinggong Palace. Ying Tianfu Yin led his guards and surrounded the Xinggong Palace to prevent criminals from escaping.

Knowing that it was a major case of assassinating the emperor, all the attendants around Gu Sheng turned pale with fright.

In this kind of case, even if they didn't know anything about it, it would be a capital offense if they were slightly involved.

The local government officials and master criminals all dispatched to investigate.

Gu Sheng sighed inwardly. It would take half a month for such a big matter. If he stayed in this square all the time, he would die of exhaustion or starvation!

As a result, only an hour later, the suspect was pulled out by His Royal Highness Nine...

This incident spread throughout Jinling within two days, and after Emperor Qi You returned to the palace, spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Not long after, Gu Sheng heard about the book in the teahouse, and he described the process of how His Royal Highness Ninth Prince resolved the case.

The person who committed the crime was Liu Qi, the son of Governor Liu of Jinling.

After the case was closed that day, Emperor Qi You asked how the Nine Emperor Girls knew that the food was poisonous, and Jiang Chenyue gave the answer——

Prior to this, the tableware used in the palace was all the official kiln porcelain brought out of the palace.

However, in the early morning of the day before leaving, the porcelain bowls used were suddenly replaced by the popular local Ru kiln porcelain, and the shape of Daguan porcelain was deliberately imitated. This is one of the suspicious points.

Secondly, Eunuch Feng, the head waiter, happened not to be around that day, although he was not often asked to test the poison on weekdays, but the suspicion of the tableware this time, accompanied by his sudden disappearance, became the second doubt.

Finally, there is the pastry itself. His Highness the Ninth Prince loves sugar cakes very much, and he knows the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room like the back of his hand. Although the size and style of the sugar cakes this time are similar to those produced by the imperial dining room, when they are picked up by the maid, the softness is obviously different from the past. In the slag, it seems to be mixed with an excessive amount of powder.

This powder is the biggest doubt.

Afterwards, it was almost a breeze to locate the culprit—Eunuch Feng’s body was quickly found behind the imperial dining room, which confirmed His Royal Highness’s identity.

The deceased showed no panic and fear, and there was poisonous pastry residue in his mouth. Therefore, it was concluded that it must be an acquaintance of Feng Gonggong who cheated and offered the pastry.

Moreover, since the tableware is from the local area, it must be a local prisoner in Jinling!

Eunuch Feng never visited Jiangnan in the future, so the prisoner would not be his old friend. As long as he found out the locals he had made friends with in the past few days while driving with him, he could be tracked down further.

In less than half an hour, Eunuch Feng's apprentice confessed to three suspects who had been in contact with him recently. One of them was Liu Qi. His father was one of the officials who feared crimes a few days ago, and his motive for revenge was clear.

The royal guards rushed out, and after chasing him to justice, His Highness the Ninth Highness went to battle in person, and after only three questions, he questioned his alibi inconsistently and confirmed the crime.

So far, it only took an hour from the initiation of the case to the conclusion of the case.

The common people in Jinling exploded, and there were different opinions. Some praised the super-grade emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to the sky, and some suspected that the case was the work of the Nine Emperors!

After all, the process of solving the case sounds logical, but how can a normal person infer the whole process seamlessly within an hour without any clue, just relying on deduction?

Simply incredible!

Perhaps it was the Nine Emperors who deliberately arranged a drama of saving her father in order to win the emperor's favor.

Only Gu Sheng thinks that this matter is reasonable, the little scum has never been a normal person...

On the way back, Gu Sheng in the carriage fixedly looked at His Highness Jiu, wondering what the genius was thinking all day long...

She was flustered in her heart, always feeling that her thoughts were transparent in front of the little scum, it was really insecure!

"Your Highness, you are really good." Gu Sheng mustered up the courage to flatter him, wanting to admit his mistakes for the little tricks he did before, so as not to be "deduced" by the little scum that day!

Jiang Chenyue raised her eyes to look at Gu Sheng, her eyes were indifferent, she paused for a moment, and then a trace of shyness gradually emerged, then she lowered her long eyelashes, and smiled shyly, "Which aspect are you talking about?"

The maids on both sides were taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at Gu Sheng in surprise at the same time, and then...all showed meaningful eyes!

Gu Sheng: "..."

It's not what you think!

Although she sleeps in His Highness Ninth Prince's bedroom these days, she always sleeps in the side room with Yu'er!No one knows whether His Highness the Ninth Prince is good or not!

Sure enough, after opening the door, you have to avoid suspicion. Gu Sheng turned his face away, raised the curtain and looked out of the car.

Thinking of leaving the school after the Guozijian assessment this year, Gu Sheng felt a little sour.

Gu Sheng stared at His Royal Highness Ninthly. After this farewell, the day of seeing each other again is slim. In the future, even if we meet again at the royal banquet, there will only be a polite nod and smile left.

The apex of the heart bursts with soreness.

It's been ten years, from looking down at that short, chunky little meatball to now looking up at that stunning face with a smirk, Gu Sheng felt that he was used to being bullied, and he was reluctant to leave at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Chenyue leaned forward slightly, looking into her eyes suspiciously.

Gu Sheng came back to his senses, quickly lowered his head to wipe away the mist from his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness has really grown up, and you don't need servants to take care of you anymore."

Jiang Chenyue raised her eyebrows, and asked back: "You, take care of Gu?"

Gu Sheng pouted and glanced at the little scumbag, unwillingly said: "Yes... His Highness has been taking care of the servant for so many years, and he is tired!"

Over the years, how many disasters Gu Sheng has encountered, big and small, were indeed settled by His Highness the Ninth Prince.

Sometimes, she really felt that she was a catastrophe. Perhaps, after leaving, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince would be much more relaxed.

Gu Sheng wanted to say goodbye several times, but when the words came to his lips, he choked up.

Forget it, let's wait until the end of the new year, when the assessment is about to be mentioned.

After returning to Beijing, Jiang Han immediately wrote the proposal paper, and went to Jingyang Palace first as usual to inform Concubine Zhuang.

Concubine Zhuang has treated Jiang Han much warmer in recent years. Seeing Jiang Han come to pay her respects, she specially ordered the dining room to serve many dishes that the princess loved when she was young.

"This time I'm driving with you, did you handle all the errands that the emperor gave you properly?" Concubine Zhuang looked at Jiang Han with a pleasing expression.

Jiang Han nodded and replied: "There are no difficult questions, everything is appropriate."

Zhuang Concubine pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand, the sharp armor on her fingertips was three inches long, pointed like a sword at the steamed eel soup, and motioned for the maid to serve Jiang Han a bowl, and then said softly: "Your little brother The queen has really been in the limelight recently, she has finally grown up."

Jiang Han mentioned that he taught the eldest daughter of the Nine Emperors, and he unconsciously revealed a look of pride on his face, and replied: "Ah Jiu is talented and intelligent, and now he is just showing his talents."

Concubine Zhuang snorted when she heard the words, and said calmly: "You really treat this child with all your heart and soul, and the common people understand the truth of raising tigers to cause trouble, you are a dignified King Xuan..."

"Mother Concubine!" Jiang Han lowered his voice and whispered, "What are you talking about!"

Concubine Zhuang's face was slightly displeased, she put down her chopsticks and said coldly: "What's the matter? King Xuan has grown up and left the palace now, so I can't talk to my children about what's on my mind?"

Jiang Han frowned, remained silent for a moment, and said softly: "You think too much, foreign blood can't be a threat to..., not to mention Ah Jiu's temper, how can he suffer so much, and can't even push people, you Why bother with that?"

Concubine Zhuang frowned, turned away all the attendants, looked at Jiang Han fiercely and said, "If you don't think about it now, it doesn't mean it won't change in the future. How old is that child? Your father is also in his prime. Who can say what will happen in the future?" !"

Jiang Han sighed: "Mother, you really think too much, Ah Jiu is a super-rank, and when the new king ascends the throne, the status and power of the super-rank prince is almost the same as that of the Supreme Emperor, why bother to fight for that position and come back to work on the government every day? Besides, this child is naughty and unruly by nature, he can't stand restraint, and he might not want to come back after leaving the palace."

"Hmph." Concubine Zhuang sneered, "I hope it's as you said."

Jiang Han took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "I'm here today to announce the good news to my mother and concubine."

Concubine Zhuang squinted her eyes and asked, "What joy?"

Thinking of Gu Sheng, Jiang Han's face immediately burst into ice, and he picked up the wedding invitation booklet and handed it to Concubine Zhuang.

Concubine Zhuang took the notebook and read it quickly, her complexion did not change, she slapped the notebook on the table, and asked, "Miss Gu family? Are you related to your imperial brother's side concubine Gu?"

"It's her sister."

Concubine Zhuang frowned slightly, and said coldly, "What background?"

Jiang Han replied loudly: "She was born in the Viscount's Mansion, her father was a third-rank official in the Ministry of Officials, and she is currently studying in the Imperial College. She was selected as the leader of the Drum Music Awards at the age of 13, and she was awarded Ronghua by the Beijing Appreciation Association at the age of 15."

"Yo." Concubine Zhuang flipped the folder on the table and said with a smile: "He is really a complete character, but it's a pity that he was born as a Viscount, but since you are interested, the concubine mother will naturally not object.

Just like your imperial brother, that Gu family is a side concubine. If you marry her younger sister, you should also be a side concubine, otherwise it won't make people laugh. "
