Jiang Jingqiao was on the verge of collapse. Even though she had seen the ruthless methods of the ladies in the palace, and experienced her brother's schemes and ruthlessness in her previous life, in her heart, she always felt that no one in the world would kill her own child with her own hands. flesh and blood.

The queen mother sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "I was hiding what you didn't want you to know, but you came up to it, so who can blame it? You asked for it yourself. Curiosity often hurts."

Jiang Jingqiao looked at his mother in astonishment, and said angrily, "My son and minister are like this, you still come to make fun of me."

"It's not when you were young. When you grow up, you have to bear it if you can't bear it. What's more, your father has long been buried in the ground."

Jiang Jingqiao was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and said: "Why did the father kill his own child, and what is the identity of the concubine Yi, who made him so cruel that he killed his own flesh and blood?"

"That concubine Yi was supposed to be the princess of Yue Kingdom in the Western Regions, but the eunuch said that after finding out that concubine Yi's true identity was a servant of the queen of Yue Kingdom, and she was a witch who knew how to swallow Gu, she was not a real princess at all." The queen mother said that she felt cold, raised her hand and closed the window, walked to the phoenix couch and sat down.

Jiang Jingqiao became even more angry when he heard this.

"Even if Concubine Yi's status is humble and she knows the art of Gu, this cannot be the reason for the father to kill his own flesh and blood. The child is innocent, and a newborn child does not understand anything."

The queen mother glanced at her daughter, and said leisurely: "There is something involved in this. Your father has his own decision. Being an emperor is ruthless, and the queen mother is not defending your father. Being an emperor requires patience. Knowing that loyal ministers have been wronged, but in order to maintain the court and consolidate the overall situation, you have to be killed. This is why I will try my best to oppose your father and emperor when he wants to make you the emperor's daughter. My own children know that you are not cruel, and of course the queen mother also I can't bear to let you go through that torment."

Jiang Jingqiao was taken aback when he heard this.

"Father wanted to make me the empress dowager? Why is that? Besides, the emperor's elder brother is also the empress's own flesh and blood, and he is not cruel, so the empress is willing to do so?"

The queen mother was silent when she heard the words, and she wanted to let go of the past, and said helplessly, "Why are you willing? But among the many princes and daughters, your brother is still a sense of proportion, conscience, and brotherhood. When your father wanted to establish you, it was nothing more than feeling You are pure and kind, you will not attack your opponents when you ascend the throne in the future, your father does not expect you to expand your territory, if you can guard the country and treat your brothers and feet well, you will be qualified."

After hearing these words, Jiang Jingqiao felt more and more conflicted in his heart, saying that his father was cruel, but at the same time he thought that his children would have a good death.

"If an emperor is only pure and good, he can't defend the country. So when I persuaded you back then, your father gave up this idea and chose your emperor brother. Although I didn't want to, I couldn't persuade your father." The queen mother laughed after saying that. "Fortunately, the current situation is not bad. Jing Yu is his own fault, so let's serve as a wake-up call to the rest of the royal family. Ouch, my legs are tired. Come on, give your mother a pinch."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao sat down in front of the couch, stretched out her hand and squeezed it.

"Squeeze for a while, then step back. The queen mother is getting old and gets tired easily." The queen mother closed her eyes and said leisurely.

"Oh." Jiang Jingqiao responded, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "No, Queen Mother, you haven't finished speaking yet, the eunuch came out with Brother Nine Emperors in his arms, and then what?"

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, and now she was really fooling around, not as easy to pass as when she was a child.

"Hey, at that time the eunuch couldn't bear to look at the newly born Lao Jiu. It was because Aijia was smart and kind-hearted since he was a child, so he and the eunuch secretly carried the child into Concubine Ning's palace, and the baby was gone. The breathing old ten is handed over to the eunuch."

Jiang Jingqiao looked at his mother with disgust, and never forgot to praise her intelligence and kindness when talking about the past.

"That is to say, the current tenth brother is actually the nineth brother, and the real tenth brother died as soon as he was born?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and hummed softly.

"That's not right, Brother Nine Emperors is really Brother Ten Emperors, so who is Ah Wu?" Jiang Jingqiao asked doubtfully.

"Then who knows, the Ai family has told you everything they know."

Jiang Jingqiao looked directly at his mother with helpless eyes, and said for a long while, "I heard that brother ten emperors went to supervise the summer palace, when will he come back?"

"I heard from your imperial brother that next month on Lao Shi's birthday, he will be invited back to Beijing to celebrate his birthday." The queen mother said and sat up, "I can tell you, Lao Shi doesn't know, Don't tell him easily, or the kid won't be able to bear it."

Jiang Jingqiao nodded, if it was her, she wouldn't be able to stand her biological father wanting her to die.

"Did Concubine Ning know that Brother Ten Emperors was not her own before she passed away?"

The queen mother heard the words, her face was heavy and she said: "How can I tell the eunuch and I about this matter? If you know that your own flesh and blood died when you were born, you must be depressed. With Concubine Ning's temperament, she may be depressed and get sick. I can't express how happily she hugged the child. Fortunately, this child is filial, and Concubine Ning also enjoyed the family happiness. If she hadn't died of dystocia when she was born nineteen, she should have enjoyed a blessed life."

Jiang Jingqiao sighed after hearing this.

"Okay, the Ai family has told you everything they know, let's get back."

When Jiang Jingqiao heard this and looked at his mother, he must have mentioned Concubine Ning, and became sentimental.

"The minister there is retiring, and the queen mother has a good rest."

The Queen Mother responded softly: "Well, send a message to Nineteen, and let her enter the palace to accompany Ai's family for lunch."

Jiang Jingqiao's eyes were slightly red when she heard the words, her mother must be very sad now, so she said softly: "The mother is feeling sad, and my son can also accompany me."

"Which eye sees Aijia being sad? Hurry up, you will have a headache when you come to Aijia."

"After all, I'm no better than nineteen." Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao clenched her sleeves and pursed her lips as she left.

"Little thing, you have a big temper." The queen mother rolled her eyes, and then lay down on the couch, thinking about the past, she couldn't stop crying.

"Empress Dowager, the Imperial Dining Room handed over today's food brochure, please read it, Empress Dowager." The mother said and handed over the brochure.

The Queen Mother sobbed twice, and said: "Nineteen will come later, you can choose some Nineteen's favorite food."

"Queen Mother, don't be sad." Mammy stepped forward and said distressedly.

The Empress Dowager couldn't stop crying, "Tell me, if she knows that the child she raised is actually Concubine Li's, will she hate Ai's family?"

When the mother heard this, she comforted and said: "Queen Mother, if Concubine Ning knew the truth, she would definitely forgive you. You saved Concubine Li's child, and also saved Concubine Ning from the pain of losing her son. You even raised Princess Qingning by your side. , you did all you could."

"The Ai family can't think of her the most. When I think of her, my heart hurts. God is unfair. I survived the first child, but the child is gone. After the second child, the child was saved. She is gone. There is no reconciliation in this life. Your own flesh and blood have enjoyed family happiness." The queen mother cried.

"The empress dowager is so sad, I'm afraid she has to worry when Princess Qingning comes later."

The queen mother hurriedly sat up when she heard the words, and began to wipe her tears with a pink handkerchief.

At this time, Zhao Qingzhi was already sitting in the front hall of Zhao's house with her grandmother's family.

"It's good for the in-laws and mother to come to Beijing to settle down, so that the two families can move around frequently, and Dongxi and his wife have a chance to show their filial piety." Zhao Yong stroked his beard and said, "Actually, I found out that you came to Beijing yesterday, and I wanted them to come and visit. But Dong Xi's daughter-in-law is sick on the couch, so she has trouble moving."

Mrs. Xu said worriedly after hearing the words: "What kind of illness is this?"

Zhao Yong sighed: "It is said that the internal organs are not good, and many doctors have been invited to look at them, but they are not good, hey."

Zhao Qingzhi sat on the side, knowing that her mother was fine, but seeing the hypocritical expressions of the Zhao family sitting there, she felt inexplicably disgusted.

"Parents are always heartbroken when they hear that their children are not in good health. Is it convenient to go and see now?" Mrs. Xu said calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Hearing this, Zhao Yong glanced at his wife next to him, then smiled and said: "Of course it's convenient, it's not convenient for the old man to enter the daughter-in-law's yard, so let her mother-in-law go with her mother-in-law."

Mrs. Xu stood up and nodded slightly: "I'm sorry."

When Mrs. Zhao saw that Grandpa Guo had spoken, she stood up: "Mother-in-law, please."

After saying that, he led people out of the front hall and went to the west courtyard.

As soon as the group of people entered the gate of the west courtyard, they heard a high-pitched insult. Mrs. Xu held Zhao Qingzhi's hand tightly, and she could still hear her daughter being scolded by listening carefully.

Zhao Qingzhi hurriedly supported her grandmother, she heard the voice belonged to her uncle Niangsun, she couldn't help feeling sad and indignant, did she come here to bully others because her father and brother were in court and there was no one in the yard?

The old lady Zhao panicked, Zhao Qingzhi is Princess Jing now, even she dare not confront her face, how dare Mrs. Sun?It's fine to make a fuss on weekdays, but now people in the family dare to come here without paying attention, it's really courting death.

In the yard, Zhao Qingzhi's sister-in-law, Tang Shi, stood in front of the door with a serious expression on her face.

"Uncle, mother-in-law is sick, please leave."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun spat at Mrs. Tang and said, "What are you, you dare to let me go? Mrs. Xu's daughter killed my daughter, how can I make her feel better."

As she spoke, Sun yelled towards the window: "Mr. Xu, you don't have many days to live. You deserve to die early. The King of Hades is waiting to take you in."

"Who is the King of Hades waiting for? Uncle?" Zhao Qingzhi asked her grandmother in a cold tone while supporting her grandmother to stand at the door of the Moon Gate.

Sun's body froze when she heard the sound, she slowly lowered her hand pointing at the window, and turned around stiffly, only to see Zhao Qingzhi looked at her with an unkind expression, her body went limp and she staggered backwards and fell to the ground.

The old lady Zhao raised her eyebrows and stepped forward: "Things that can't be on the stage, what are you doing in the west courtyard? You are still yelling in the courtyard, speaking vulgarly, and disgraced the Zhao family. You still don't stand up!!!"

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Sun stood up submissively, lowering her head and not daring to look at Zhao Qingzhi.

Zhao Qingzhi was extremely angry, stepped forward and said: "Uncle, you haven't answered my question yet, who is going to be taken away by Hades?"

"Qingzhi, since your eldest sister passed away, your uncle's spirit has been up and down. She didn't mean it. Such insanity is the pain of losing a daughter. You are a good boy and have always been considerate. You must understand your uncle. Mother, right?" Mrs. Zhao laughed.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzhi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and raised her hand to slap Sun Shi twice.

This move surprised everyone present, including Xu's grandmother, aunt and cousin Xu Qingqiu.

"As a child, when I heard someone insulting my mother, or even cursing her to death, I felt impulsive and indignant. I accidentally hit my aunt. My aunt must understand me, right?" Zhao Qingzhi said slowly.

The corners of Xu Qingqiu's mouth raised when he heard this, and he almost laughed out loud.

Mrs. Sun couldn't take it anymore and wanted to curse back, but seeing the old lady glaring at her, she forcibly shut her mouth.

The old lady Zhao's complexion was very bad. Zhao Qingzhi slapped Mrs. Sun's face these two times, but they were actually slapping her in the face.

"Mr. Sun, follow me in and apologize to Mrs. Xu." Mrs. Zhao said and walked forward.

Zhao Qingzhi touched the palm of her hand, her heart ached when she hit Mrs. Sun, this wicked woman was so arrogant when her father and brother were away.

"Azhi, you're back." Tang stepped forward and took Zhao Qingzhi's hand, then greeted Xu's elders with a blessing.

After a salute, the group walked forward, and Zhao Qingzhi asked softly while walking: "Sister-in-law, where is the third brother?"

"The third brother went out to collect rent." Tang replied in a low voice.

Just as the group was about to enter the house, Zhao Ziyin's voice came from behind.

"Third Sister!!" Zhao Ziyin happily ran towards Zhao Qingzhi, "Just now I heard people say that Third Sister is back. I didn't expect it to be true. I haven't seen Third Sister for quite a while. How is Third Sister?"

"That's good." Zhao Qingzhi smiled slightly, "Is Fifth Sister comfortable in the mansion?"

Zhao Ziyin hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, and said as if she was wronged and dared not speak up: "Shu Xin, Third Sister Lao misses you."

"Let's go into the house and talk." Zhao Qingzhi said and turned around to help her grandmother into the house.

The room was filled with the smell of herbs, Zhao Qingzhi and Xiaojiu looked at each other, then felt relieved, walked forward and said: "Mother, grandma is here to see you."

When Mrs. Xu heard that her mother had come, she was very happy, but because Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun were present, she had to continue to pretend to be sick.

"Mother, forgive my daughter for not getting up to greet her." Xu said weakly.

Old Mrs. Xu said with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, rest at ease and recuperate, don't think about anything else."

"Xiao Jiu, when I left Beijing, my mother was fine. Why, I sent you to take care of me, and my mother was so seriously ill?" Zhao Qingzhi deliberately reprimanded Xiao Jiu in front of everyone.

Xing Jiu cooperated and said: "Princess, the slaves have been taking good care of me, but I don't know why, every time Madam takes the medicine, the condition gets worse."

"You girl, why are you talking?" Mrs. Sun scolded angrily.

Zhao Qingzhi heard the words and said, "Why is Auntie so excited? Who is tormenting mother's medicine?"

Mrs. Sun snorted coldly and said, "My concubine, what do you want me to do? We in the east courtyard did not interfere with the medicine in the west courtyard."

"Xiao Jiu, tell me." Zhao Qingzhi made up her mind, and she would never let Sun Shi settle down today.

Xing Jiu hurriedly said: "Back to the princess, it's Mama Jia who is beside Madam."

After Zhao Qingzhi listened, she looked at Meng Qing and said, "Meng Qing, go and ask Mother Jia."

As soon as these words came out, Sun's eyelids jumped.
