Chapter 47

After Concubine De fell from power, the people in the palace knew nothing about Concubine De except that Concubine De was demoted and banned for life because of murdering the eldest prince.They didn't know what method Concubine Dao used to murder the eldest prince, how she was discovered, and the investigation and interrogation were all carried out without anyone noticing.

More importantly, is the eldest prince all right?
Some people guessed that the eldest prince was fine, after all, there was no news about it, and there was no summoning of imperial physicians in Jichang Garden.If something really happened, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would not be at ease.

But there is another guess, the eldest prince is currently the only child born to the emperor, and the emperor's previous children did not live long. If there is any accident this time, then how many guesses will the courtiers and common people have?The way to put an end to this kind of conjecture is to cover up the fact that the eldest prince is seriously ill, but the outside world can't find out, and this is just a conjecture.

It was a bit late when Ziyue heard the news, the emperor was having dinner in Jichangyuan at that time, Yufu knew the news and couldn’t tell Ziyue directly, until the emperor returned to Weiyang Palace after dinner, Yufu didn’t put it away. Talk about it.

At this time, the imperial decree of the emperor was already known to everyone in the palace, and Concubine De had already been taken to a remote corner of the palace and locked up.

Ziyue was silent for a moment, and then slowly asked: "Apart from rumors, does no one in the palace know the truth? Or is there anyone else who was implicated?"

Yu Fu frowned and said: "Jiang Cainu is the emperor's decree, and no one else is involved. If it is about the palace people, then all the maids and eunuchs serving Jiang Cainu in Lingxiao Palace will suffer."

Ziyue frowned deeply, and said lightly: "Changing clothes for me, I'm going to Kangshou Palace." He didn't see Nanny Li, and said again: "Let Nanny Li serve the eldest prince and wait for me to come back."

Yu Fu bowed his knees and said, "Yes, master."

When choosing the clothes, Yufu asked Ziyue specifically, in Yufu's heart, she liked the current master and the eldest prince very much, although she didn't understand how Concubine De murdered the eldest prince, but since she was caught by the emperor, Just unforgivable.When the enemy is in trouble, they can't be happy, but she also knows that she can't dress too much, so she just asks the master's opinion and acts according to the master's pleasure.

After having An An, Ziyue always dressed plainly, if he was overdressed or had too many hairpins on his head, An An would always reach out to pull, which was very inconvenient.This time I went to Kangshou Palace mainly to ask about the situation, but because Concubine De concubine had encountered this time, she couldn't dress in a more luxurious way, just wear her usual clothes.It doesn't matter what she wears, as Concubine De is in such a state, she just needs to feel happy in her heart.

Nanny Li had been taking care of the eldest prince to take a nap. When Ziyue left Jichang Garden, he just had someone bring a sentence to Nanny Li, and then he took the fish suit to Kangshou Palace.

The Kangshou Palace was extremely quiet today, the Empress Dowager did not avoid seeing Ziyue, after hearing that she was coming, she was brought in by someone.

After saluting and being seated, Ziyue hesitated for a while before asking: "Queen Mother, don't worry too much about Jiang Cainu's affairs."

Sometimes it's better to be direct, so as not to care about it in a roundabout way, and the queen mother still thinks that she has something wrong in her heart.

The Queen Mother looked at Ziyue with a faint smile and a long sigh: "Aijia doesn't worry about her. , you have to have that fate to bear the consequences." Pause, glanced at Ziyue, and said: "Not only her, but everyone! If you don't have the ability to hide the truth, don't try to overturn the world."

Ziyue knew that the Empress Dowager was using Jiang Cainu's affairs to warn her, and he could say such a thing, which proved that the Empress Dowager's heart was not as heavy as she thought. A little affection.

It is estimated that it is the Jiang family who are worried or troubled by the Queen Mother now. After all, the Queen Mother's elder brother is still alive.It's just that she doesn't have the qualifications to take the initiative to care about these things.

The harem is a vanity fair, there are too many temptations, and there are too many inconsistencies in the world. Everyone has desires, ambitions, and even more unwillingness. In this living environment where power and money are pros and cons, no one can guarantee that this person will never will change.No matter how kind-hearted a person is, if he is oppressed a lot, he will think about self-improvement, and then think about how to stand up, and the natural person will change.

With a calm smile, Zi said: "What the queen mother said is right, people are valuable with self-knowledge, and they shouldn't think about things that they can't get." After a pause, he said: "About the matter of the eldest prince this time, my concubine I have some doubts in my heart, I wonder if the Empress Dowager can clear up the confusion for my concubines?"

Concubine De's downfall came so quickly, she was actually a little surprised, of course, it is indispensable to be dark.At the Empress Dowager's place that day, the ring on her hand sounded the alarm as soon as she came in. At that time, she immediately suspected Mr. Xingui.After coming out of Kangshou Palace, the alarm was even more urgent, and she knew that the problem was with Xingui. It was impossible for Xingui to feed An An, but it could only be something that got on it or inhaled something.

Later, I happened to be talking to Nanny Li, and when Nanny Li asked, she made up nonsense about the smell of Xingui.This first step depends on whether Li Nanny will become suspicious of her words, obviously Li Nanny was brought in by her.

Everyone in the palace knows that she likes to think about things, and the Queen Mother naturally knows it too. She can detect some unusual smells, and the Queen Mother will not be suspicious. As long as the Queen Mother believes, she will be half successful.There must be something in Xingui that is not good for An An. Once the queen mother investigates, she will definitely find out the clues.

Xin Gui has a low status and is not favored. What she wants to do is not as airtight as the imperial concubine, but as long as there is a gap, a big hole can be torn open, but she did not expect to tear out the concubine De's big hole. fish.Concubine De's calculations this time backed up quite a bit, and at the same time, it also showed her the deep thoughts of ancient women, and she must never underestimate the enemy in the future.

The empress dowager told Ziyue that it was the imperial physician who found out that there was something wrong with the Buddhist scriptures sent by Mr. Xingui, and after investigation, it was discovered that it was Concubine De who did it secretly.Nanny Li is the empress dowager's eyeliner, the empress dowager and Zi Yue knew it, even if they knew, they are pretending not to know now.Some things are said, it is really hurtful.

Although the Empress Dowager mentioned it in a word, Ziyue still thought about the ins and outs of the whole thing by himself.She will not have sympathy for Concubine De, and this matter can be regarded as settled. After this time, she believes that the Queen Mother's Kangshou Palace will be safer, at least every time An An comes, she doesn't have to worry about it.

But after this incident, the Empress Dowager might not want to see these concubines in the palace even more. She had to think of something interesting to relieve the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager doesn't go out of the Kangshou Palace very often, and she doesn't like to pay respects to the Buddha, so it's boring to be alone all the time.

Well, go back and ask 001 this time.

On this matter, Ziyue just listened to the queen mother's explanation, and didn't ask again.Seeing that the Empress Dowager looked tired, she thought it was because she was worried that she didn't sleep well last night, so Gu took the initiative to give her a massage and told some jokes to tease her back to school.

Probably because she was tired, the queen mother actually fell asleep during the massage on Ziyue, and she was soothed by the queen mother. Seeing that the queen mother was asleep, Nanny Ming personally sent her out, and said with a gentle smile on the way: "Master Ning has a way." , The queen mother went to spend the night thinking about it last night, and didn't sleep well all night. After what happened to Concubine De today, the Jiang family wanted to go to the palace to ask to see her again. Let's go on.

Ziyue smiled lightly, did not answer Nanny Ming's words, and said, "Nurse Ming, don't worry too much." When the recipes are put together, there are only a few of them that can be finished. In two days, I will send them over by Madam Li. There are many new recipes in it, all of which are made according to the Queen Mother’s usual taste. like."

"The Empress Dowager will be happy to know about Master Ning's filial piety." Nurse Ming looked at her gratefully and said.

Although the Empress Dowager said that she didn't care about Jiang Cainu anymore, the members of the Jiang family couldn't ignore it. The Empress Dowager didn't eat much today, and she had Ning Zhaoyuan's appetizers, so there was no need to worry about the diet.Eat well and sleep well, at least you don't have to worry about physical problems.

"The Empress Dowager has always favored me, and I can't repay it. These are just small things." Ziyue smiled slightly, and said to Nanny Ming: "Mommy Ming, go in quickly, Nanny Ming must serve you at the Empress Dowager's place." .”

Nanny Ming blessed her body, and after watching Zi Ri leave, she turned around and left the gate of Kangshou Palace.

After Yu Fukan separated from Nurse Ming, he asked, "Master, when did you compile and edit the recipe? Why doesn't this servant know anything about it?"

This is true, when Ziyue was in Jichangyuan, he basically ate, slept and had fun with An An, and only read books to pass the time when he seldom had time.

Now that the words were spoken, Ziyue certainly knew how to round them up. He nodded his forehead with a smile and said, "The recipes are all here, and it only takes a few days to transcribe them."

Yu Fu was surprised and said: "Master, I really admire you, you know so many things."

In fact, both were born as court ladies, and Yu Fu vaguely knew that her master's life experience was more miserable than hers, but there were many things she couldn't learn from her master, such as reading and studying.Although the final results of these things are very pleasing, but if it were her, she would not be able to do it.

It's no wonder that the master can become the master, but she is still just a court lady, but she is not discouraged, she is also proud and happy to follow such a master!

Ziyue smiled to answer Yu Fu's admiration. She used to be a fool in modern times, she had no big ambitions, and she didn't want to play tricks with others, so she simply followed the crowd.After coming here, how should I put it, there were too many things beyond her imagination, and she was also confused for a while.

Since the heart-to-heart talk with 001, she has brought her life closer to the state of modern times, and less involved in the disputes outside. There are necessary precautions, but if someone takes the initiative to attack, she will not be soft .The idea now is to raise the steamed stuffed bun and live a nourishing little life. So far, it has been implemented well.Not to mention anything else, in this huge harem, she can be said to be the happiest.

Regarding the matter of Jiang Cainu, she was one of the former four concubines, and some things should be taken seriously, so the next day, the concubine deliberately gathered all the concubines in the palace in Yilan Palace.

Zi said that after sending An'an to Kangshou Palace, he rushed to Yilan Palace. On the way, he met Concubine Xian and Song Jieyu. They had the same purpose, and the three of them left together.

Song Jieyu has been imprisoned for so long, and her eloquence has not diminished, but her words are somewhat measured: "I haven't seen Sister Ning for a long time, is Sister Ning okay? Jiang Cainu murdered the eldest prince, will the eldest prince be safe?"

Perhaps it was because Song Jieyu's question was too direct, Xian Concubine turned her face with a smile, and said to Ziyue, "Sister Ning, why didn't she bring the eldest prince with her? Before going out, she thought that she might see the eldest prince this time. Hearing the Queen Mother say that the First Prince is smart and sensible, all the sisters were very curious."

Ziyue smiled without saying a word, looked at her and said indifferently: "The eldest prince went to the empress dowager's place early in the morning, and this time the imperial concubine seems to have something important to do, so it is very inconvenient to hold the child. The days will be long, the concubine Xian There will always be a chance to see him, I just hope that the concubine Xian will not dislike the naughty eldest prince at that time."

Song Jieyu lowered her head and curled her lips in disdain when she heard the words, she remained silent with a cold face.Isn't it just giving birth to a son to make the Queen Mother like it? !What's the big deal, just pretend that others won't be born.

Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "Look at my sister's humble appearance, I really can't wait to visit the eldest prince, when I have free time, I will definitely sit in my sister's palace."

Ziyue nodded with a smile, and exchanged polite words with Concubine Xian.Now she and the First Prince are not sick or in pain. It is impossible to shut everyone up and see her. She can control herself not to go to other people's palaces, but she cannot restrict others from coming to her own palace.What's more, Concubine Xian's rank is higher than hers, if she refuses, she's afraid that the reputation of being favored and arrogant will spread.

When Ziyue and his party arrived at Yilan Palace, a few concubines had already arrived, and now the only ones in the palace above Ziyue were the noble concubine, Xian concubine, and Zhuang concubine, so those concubines had to salute Ziyue .

Not long after, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Lin also arrived one after another. Concubine Zhuang's fetus is only two months old now, and her belly is still not visible, while Concubine Lin's belly is already more than four months old, and her belly is showing. The eyes of all concubines are hot .

Ziyue glanced at Concubine Lin, stared at her stomach for a moment, thinking back to when she was more than four months old, was this stomach so big?It's been too long, I can't remember.

After that, the imperial concubine also came out, showing her majesty, and went straight to the point: "I called you here today, I think you all know the reason, I won't say much about Jiang Cainu, you must take this as a warning in the future! Now Zhuang The concubine and concubine Lin are both pregnant, so they can't stand the collision. If someone thinks about it, Jiang Cainu's end will be your end! I can't say that your end will be worse." Glancing down, he continued slowly: "Think twice about everything. Just do it, don't let me collect the corpses for you!"

Perhaps the last sentence of the noble concubine was too straightforward and frightening, those timid bodies trembled, and even the bold ones restrained their smiles, their expressions were gloomy.For a moment, no one spoke in the hall, and it was unbelievably quiet.

Raising her eyebrows and giving a slight sneer, the imperial concubine put on a leisurely expression again, and said to the two pregnant concubines below: "Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Lin, if there is anything important, you can come to me directly." Slowly, his eyes fell on Concubine Lin: "Concubine Lin especially, the imperial physician seems to go to Ziyutang very frequently, but what is so unspeakable?"

Concubine Lin didn't expect to be called individually, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, which was fleeting, and she raised her head with a faint smile: "Thank you for the relationship between the imperial concubine and the concubine. I don’t understand, so I have repeatedly asked the imperial physician for advice.”

After listening to Concubine Lin's words, Zi said that Concubine Lin's unsteady pregnancy must be due to Concubine Xingui. Concubine Xingui often goes in and out of Ziyu Hall, and he has that dangerous smell on him. He has been with Concubine Lin a lot. It is strange that the tire can be stable!It's just that Xingui knew it, or did Lin Binfa not find out?
The imperial concubine heard the words and said: "This palace has never had a child, so this matter really can't help Concubine Lin."

Seeing what she said, Concubine Lin hurriedly put aside the subject and said, "What happened to Jiang Cainu this time is really scary, but I just don't know how the eldest prince is doing now?"

The imperial concubine is the only person besides the queen mother and the emperor who knows the ins and outs of this matter, but the emperor did not ask her to disclose the details of this matter, and she would not tell them smartly. She just looked sideways at Ning Zhaoyuan and waited for her answer.

Ziyue suppressed his smile, and said lightly: "Thank you for the relationship with Concubine Lin, I discovered it early, and the eldest prince is now fine."

This sentence was unclear, whether the eldest prince was injured or not, he didn't ask at all.Ning Zhaoyuan can sit here calmly, the eldest prince must be fine, it goes without saying.

After hearing Ning Zhaoyuan's answer, Concubine Lin felt a little disappointed. If the eldest prince was seriously injured, Jiang Cainu's punishment would not be too much. If she was not injured, then the position of the eldest prince in the hearts of the empress dowager and the emperor can be imagined.Although the eldest prince's mother's status is not high, who can explain such things as status, the emperor favors you, you can be a noble daughter, but the emperor hates you, you are even worse than a beggar.

However, if the eldest prince wins the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, then he cannot be underestimated.Ning Zhaoyuan's son will probably be the biggest obstacle for her unborn child.The original joy that she told the imperial physician that she might be pregnant with twins has disappeared at this moment.

Song Jieyu was sitting next to Concubine Lin, she had smelled a smell from just now, sniffed it lightly, frowned and asked, "What is the smell on Sister Lin Concubine?"

Concubine Zhuang was on the other side of Concubine Lin, and she saw Concubine Zhuang leaning closer to smell it carefully, then she stepped back suddenly, covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "It's the smell of medicine." She said with concern: "Sister Lin Concubine Are you really all right?"

Concubine Lin bit her lip slightly, and the imperial concubine also glanced over, saying, "Concubine Lin, I just said that you should think twice before acting, and I will ask the imperial physician to take a good look at you later. Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Lin Concubine is not suitable to work hard now, since Concubine Lin is not feeling well, let's leave today."

In this regard, the imperial concubine closed the coffin and did not give Concubine Lin any excuses.

Concubine Lin was betrayed by humanity, and she followed the crowd out of the hall with a slightly pale face. Before others came up to care, two court ladies came over, saying that the imperial concubine had specially ordered them to send her back to the palace.At this moment, Concubine Lin didn't want to deal with the crowd, and left with the maid sent by the imperial concubine.

And the news of Lin Bing's unstable pregnancy spread.

The group walked for a while, and Ziyue vaguely heard that Li Ronghua, who lived in the same palace with Jiang Cainu, was telling people about the day Jiang Cainu was demoted. She didn't hear any meaningful clues. The other is to cry and cry.

Thinking of An'an's child queen mother, Ziyue didn't listen to Li Ronghua's personal speech, and left the main army at a faster pace.

After all the concubines left, Yilan Palace became quiet again, the main hall was full of people just now, and now there are two noble concubines, master and servant.

The imperial concubine concentrated for a moment, then said coldly: "Have you replaced everything in Mrs. Xin's place?"

Jinran replied in a respectful voice: "It has already been replaced overnight, Madam, don't worry, but I don't know who inserted a stick in this matter. Although Jiang Cainu fell down, Concubine Lin did not have any doubts about Xingui's life." , Didn’t our plan also succeed?”

The noble concubine's expression was as steady as Mount Tai, she pondered for a moment and said: "Doesn't Concubine Xu always like to insult Xingui people? Find a chance to serve the bedside to attract the emperor to see, and then I will let Xingui be grounded for a period of time and not go to Ziyu Hall, Concubine Lin The baby is fine, with Lin Bin's brain, she can definitely guess something."

Jin Ran was overjoyed, bent his knees and said: "Yes, I will arrange someone to do it."

The imperial concubine nodded to signal her to go, but her expression gradually sank.

What happened this time really made her break out in a cold sweat, she was really afraid that the emperor would find out who belonged to her from Xingui.She was very surprised about the Buddhist scriptures. When she found out that it was Concubine De, she was really surprised. When did Concubine De become so smart?
With Concubine De's mentality, it is really not easy to use Xingui to poison the eldest prince through the Queen Mother.However, even if she doesn't believe it anymore, the emperor's personal and material evidences are all there, so she can't help but not believe it!

Think about how when Concubine Lin was pregnant, she ordered someone to put something unfavorable to pregnant women on Xingui.There are two purposes, one is that Concubine Lin conceives or gives birth to an unhealthy child, and the other is that Concubine Lin turns against Xingui.

Lin Pin is used to being a human being. In this life, she will not let her have a stable time. The soft and beautiful people are not in harmony with her. If it is the same with Xingui, she will see who will help her win favor in front of the emperor in the future.

Next, it's Concubine Gong.Thinking of this, the noble concubine curled her lips into a sneer.
