As for the news of Yaoping's death, Jiang Nianjiao failed to tell Concubine Yuxian.
After all, even if Yaoping really betrayed her master, she had been her aunt's companion since childhood.
Concubine Yuxian would be very sad if she learned the news of her death.
What's more, now it seems that Yao Ping is probably an innocent person.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao suppressed the news, and Concubine Yuxian also tacitly agreed not to mention Yaoping.
While Jiang Nianjiao was talking to Concubine Yuxian, Zhao Nianze was also talking to the girl named Yan'er.
From Yan'er's mouth, what Zhao Nianze heard was naturally two completely different situations from what Concubine Yu Xian described.
You don't have to worry about three meals a day, but the food delivered is just sour vegetables and cold rice.
Concubine Yuxian has been unable to get sick since she was thrown into the cold palace and had a big quarrel with Emperor Yong.
Moreover, Emperor Yong was really cruel. Even though he knew that Concubine Yuxian was ill, he still took over the palace of Yuxiu Palace, leaving only this girl named Yan'er who was a rough messenger in the outer courtyard.
The Yuxiu Palace is so big, and Concubine Yuxian is ill. Naturally, she, a girl who can only do some menial work, cannot do the work in the Yuxiu Palace by herself.
During this short period of time, she often took care of Concubine Yuxian and neglected to do hygiene. After taking care of hygiene, he could not take care of the sick Concubine Yuxian.
In addition, no one came to the cold palace, and Concubine Yuxian was already lingering on the bedside, so this girl decided to just do the necessary work, not wanting to run into the harsh Prince Liang just because of her laziness.
She was a little girl who didn't have enough to eat and couldn't do the work well. Speaking of these things, she naturally felt aggrieved at this moment.
The most cruel thing is that Emperor Yong knew that Concubine Yuxian was ill, but he did not call the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her.
If not for this, Concubine Yuxian would not have become so skinny in this short period of time.
"Your Highness, I want to do my job well and take good care of my wife, but I don't have enough food to eat. I can't do it alone." Yan'er was still complaining about her situation.
Zhao Nianze only frowned and said, "Okay, I know about your matter. After I go out, I will ask my father to send an imperial doctor to treat my mother and concubine, and I will also find some helpers for you."
Zhao Nianze also knew that now in this cold palace, his mother-in-law's life depended entirely on this little girl, so in order to make this girl pay more attention to his mother-in-law, he just casually took off a jade pendant tied around his waist. He said, "This jade pendant is given to you by this king. If you continue to take good care of my mother and concubine for a while, as long as I am here, my mother and concubine will come out of this cold palace sooner or later. You can serve my mother and concubine with all your heart." , the king of Japan will naturally not treat you badly, but if you don’t do your best and I find out, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Such a combination of kindness and power naturally subdued this little girl.
Yan'er took the jade pendant and said gratefully, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Yan'er will definitely take good care of your empress."
Zhao Nianze only nodded slightly, his eyes only looking through the wooden door, and he sighed softly.
He really felt that everything today was so inexplicable. If Concubine Yuxian went crazy because of being stimulated and therefore refused to recognize his son, then when he looked at Concubine Yuxian, she was clearly very sober.
If she hated herself for not being able to rescue her from this cold palace, then logically speaking, Jiang Nianjiao would not get a good result.
But he could clearly see just now that Concubine Yuxian was full of joy for Jiang Nianjiao's arrival, and she even comforted Jiang Nianjiao not to worry too much about her.
But if there was nothing abnormal about her, Zhao Nianze also felt that something was wrong.
After all, the mother-son relationship between him and Concubine Yuxian was still there. When they argued over Su Zhirou, they had never reached the point where they are today.
Besides, Concubine Yuxian has always been a kind person. Not to mention herself, even if a maid in the palace bumped into her, she would not be angry because of it.
But her attitude towards herself today seemed to be one of extreme disgust and hatred.
To make her hate him so much, he must have done something even more outrageous than when he bumped into her for Su Zhirou.
But when there was no assassination incident at the northern suburbs prayer meeting,
He and Concubine Yuxian were obviously still loving mothers and filial sons.
It has only been a few days now, how could their mother-son relationship be like this?
So thinking of this, he just asked Yan'er, "Yan'er, apart from being ill these days, is there anything unusual about my mother-in-law? Has anyone come to visit her or tell her anything during this period?" Did you say something you shouldn’t have said?”
Yan'er had just received the reward. At this moment, she was naturally more and more concerned about Zhao Nianze's questions. She only tried to think about it, while shaking her head and saying, "There is nothing unusual about your Majesty, and besides delivering food during this period, No one who comes here can come in here, and there is no one to talk to her except Yan'er and me."
Hearing this, Zhao Nianze felt a sense of loss, but he still refused to give up and said, "What does it mean to be normal? Was she like that just now when she was with you?"
It's a pity that Yan'er is so stupid. After hearing what Zhao Nianze said, Yan'er just looked at Zhao Nianze stupidly and said, "Like just now?"
After hearing Yan'er's words, Zhao Nianze was very speechless and said, "What else can it be like? Of course he bites and smashes people like just now!"
After hearing Zhao Nianze's words, Yan'er seemed to suddenly realize, "So this is what His Highness said. In fact, Yan'er was also very surprised just now when he saw the empress acting like that to His Highness."
"After all, before His Highness, the empress had never lost control of her emotions so much."
But then, she just thought about it for a while and said, "That's not right, the empress had such an emotional reaction earlier."
"When?" Zhao Nianze asked.
"The last time His Majesty came to Yuxiu Palace, the Empress and Your Majesty seemed to have a very heated argument. The servants could hear the Empress crying in the outer courtyard." Yan'er recalled the plot at that time.
"What are they arguing about?" For some reason, Zhao Nianze just felt that this might be the key to the matter.
However, after Yan'er thought for a moment, she suddenly shook her head, "This... I don't know. When His Highness had a dispute with the empress, he just drove everyone in the palace to the outer courtyard, and we could only listen." There was a vague quarrel. We had no idea what was going on inside, and when we were called in by Aunt Yaoping to clean up the house, His Majesty had already left."
"At that time, the empress was sitting alone on the imperial concubine's couch. The floor was covered with smashed porcelain pieces and broken utensils."
Hearing what this little girl said, he knew that it was probably impossible for him to hear anything related to this from this girl.
So he just waved his hand to signal the girl to retreat first.
At this moment, Jiang Nianjiao was also walking out of Concubine Yuxian's room.
When Zhao Nianze saw Jiang Nianjiao, he naturally just waved to her.
Jiang Nianjiao also looked worried. She also had something to say to Zhao Nianze.
So when Zhao Nianze waved, she just walked over very cooperatively.
Regarding Yaoping's death and what she had done, she naturally couldn't tell Concubine Yuxian, and she didn't want to irritate Concubine Yuxian.
But to her cousin, it might not be that difficult for her to tell all the truth. After all, she had never had any expectations from him, and only her cousin could help her with this.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao took the initiative and said, "Cousin, you should know that Aunt Yaoping is dead, right?"
When Zhao Nianze heard Jiang Nianjiao mention this, his expression was also stern. He just nodded silently, "Of course I heard about it. I wanted to find an opportunity to visit her, but I only heard the news that she died in Zongzheng Temple. I asked the eldest brother of the Xu family, and the eldest brother of the Xu family told me that Aunt Yaoping died abnormally. Someone shot her to death with a poisonous arrow. However, Zongzheng Temple's attitude towards this was also very ambiguous. They only tried to force the matter. Suppress it. I think there must be a hidden reason for Aunt Yao Ping's death, and the person who killed Aunt Yao Ping must also be very powerful. Otherwise, Zongzheng Temple would not be able to forcefully suppress this matter for several days. Only recently. That’s when it was announced that she committed suicide.”…
Zhao Nianze only told Jiang Nianjiao the news he heard from Xu Yong, the eldest brother of the Xu family.
At the moment, Jiang Nianjiao was only thinking about how to tell Zhao Nianze about her affairs, so Jiang Nianjiao didn't pay attention to the clues he provided.
Seeing that Zhao Nianze stopped talking, she then whispered softly, "I know all this, cousin, it was me who killed Aunt Yaoping."
When he said this, Jiang Nianjiao's eye circles turned red again.
Hearing this, Zhao Nianze was naturally surprised and disbelieving again.
After all, although Jiang Nianjiao was just his cousin, she was raised by Concubine Yu Xian for most of her childhood. Concubine Xian treated her like a mother, and Aunt Yaoping was also very affectionate to her.
And Jiang Nianjiao was very affectionate towards the two of them. How could she do such a thing to harm one of her own people?
And I thought that although Jiang Nianjiao was the prime minister's daughter, she would still be the princess of Jin in the future.
But now, although she can gain some respect in front of others by relying on her father and future husband, this respect is not enough for her to suppress the case under investigation.
So after a moment of surprise, Zhao Nianze just said, "Okay, Gillian, stop talking nonsense. How could Aunt Yaoping's matter be related to you? If it was related to you, how could they hide it for you for so long?"
Although Zhao Nianze's tone was gentle, Jiang Nianjiao still understood what Zhao Nianze meant. He didn't believe what he said at all.
Jiang Nianjiao said anxiously, "Cousin, listen to me, what I say is true! Although I did not kill Aunt Yaoping, she was indeed killed by me!"
"And I actually already knew who framed my aunt, but for my own selfish desires, I chose not to say anything. I'm not a human being!"
