Maybe...maybe...for example...
Concubine Li’s child could never have been born! !
So if she hadn't brought Concubine Shu as the scapegoat with her today, Concubine Li actually wanted to use this child who would not have survived to frame her.
Everyone in the palace knows that this mistress is eager to have a son. Who would believe that she would use her own child to harm others?
Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but shudder.
The power of the Song family is overwhelming, and if the Jiang family, a mere fifth-rank official, is sought out to murder the emperor's heir, even a hundred Jiang Xinyues will not be able to survive.
Although the emperor is now willing to protect her, Concubine Li's maternal grandfather Pei Zhongshu, her grandfather Song Shoufu, her father Song Prime Minister, as well as many courtiers from the Pei and Song families in the court, once they jointly submit a letter asking the emperor to severely punish the murderer of the emperor's heir, even if the emperor No matter how much you love her, you have to consider the consequences.
Concubine Li is preparing to get rid of her in one fell swoop!
But fortunately, she ran fast.
As long as she runs fast, no conspiracy or trick can catch up with her.
"so close!"
Jiang Chuan shook his head and looked at Jiang Xinyue with eyes full of conviction: "The empress is still clever and she knows that this is a plan against our Hexi Palace. If we really listen to this slave and take action against Concubine Li, I'm afraid we will all die. .”
Under the dim candlelight, Jiang Xinyue's beautiful face looked a bit extraordinarily enchanting: "Even if we have to take action, we can't dirty our own hands. Isn't Concubine Shu very good at killing people with a borrowed knife? We still have to learn more from her." .”
But Jiang Chuan didn't think Concubine Shu was powerful. On the contrary, a ruthless person like his own empress, who could smile with the enemy in person and turn around and stab the opponent fiercely, was even more powerful.
Among the eunuchs who were separated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only he chose Master Zhen from Hexi Palace, while the others all chose those with stronger family backgrounds.
What about now?
In the harem of concubines and concubines, the only ones who could talk to the princes and princes around the emperor, and who could chat and laugh with his elders, were the only ones in the Hexi Palace.
After having a quiet lunch in the palace, Wang Dequan came to tell Jiang Xinyue: "Ms. Li Guifei has had a miscarriage. The imperial doctor said that she has injured her roots. She is afraid that she will not have any more children in the future. Concubine Zhen, you were the only one who was present at the scene." Witnesses, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are waiting for you!"
Concubine Shu and Concubine Li were parties involved. What their palace servants said was in favor of their master and was not credible. Only Concubine Zhen could testify.
Jiang Xinyue had been prepared for a long time. She stood up calmly and followed Wang Dequan with Magpie and Shuangjiang: "Is the imperial concubine okay?"
Wang Dequan sighed: "My dear Concubine Zhen! Stop worrying about others. The Xi Zhu next to Concubine Shu said that you had to drag Concubine Shu to release the kites. The Empress Dowager lost her temper and said that you had bad intentions. Bad, I deliberately framed Concubine Shu, and I want to hand you over to satisfy the anger of the Pei and Song families!"
No, the emperor asked him to inform Empress Zhen and tell her in advance what kind of risks she would face soon, so as not to be caught off guard by the Empress Dowager later.
"ah?"
Jiang Xinyue looked ignorant and ignorant: "I... I am because last night... Last night, I and you, Wang Gonggong, listened to the conversation between Empress Shu Fei and Sister Rong Bin... I was thinking... I was thinking about asking her out to meet, if If there is any misunderstanding, we can solve it in time. We don’t want the emperor to be in a dilemma between us. How did I know that the kite would fly into Changxin Palace? Concubine Li didn’t even know that she was pregnant, so how could I know? How can it be designed so carefully?"
No!
Jiang Xinyue had measured the wind direction when flying the kites. The west wind blowing from the imperial garden could blow the kites into Changxin Palace.
She also knew that Concubine Li was pregnant, so she just wanted to test it out.
But she didn't plan for Concubine Li to have a miscarriage!
It wasn't her who did it, so the Queen Mother shouldn't even think about unjustly accusing her.
"Concubine Zhen, don't worry."
Wang Dequan comforted her and said, "As long as the emperor believes in you, no one can touch you."
This concubine Zhen seems to be the number one person in the harem. He sells her a good deal. If he violates the emperor's taboo in the future, I believe concubine Zhen can return the favor.
After listening to his words, Jiang Xinyue suppressed the tears in her eyes, but they were red and looked extremely pitiful.
The main hall of Changxin Palace was quiet, but the atmosphere was very solemn and solemn. The palace attendants all looked at their noses and their minds. Even Jiang Xinyue came and knelt in the main hall, no one dared to raise his head to look.
Presumably before she came, this place had already experienced a very fierce war without gunpowder smoke.
"Concubine..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Empress Dowager Wu interrupted her salute: "Concubine Zhen, tell me, was it you who took Concubine Shu to the Imperial Garden to release the kites today?"
Jiang Xinyue raised her head, with a pair of clear eyes showing confusion, and looked at the Empress Dowager Wu: "I can't understand what the Empress Dowager said. I invited Sister Shu Fei to fly the kites together. If Sister Shu Fei didn't If she is willing, I can’t force her to do it, so why would I get a concubine to hold her back?”
"Stop quibbling there."
Empress Dowager Wu slapped the table with her palm. The loud sound startled Jiang Xinyue, and her body trembled while she was kneeling on the ground.
"If you hadn't forced Concubine Shu to go, how could she have gone with you because she was still injured on her neck? Tell me, did you know that Concubine Li was pregnant for a long time and deliberately set them up to kill two birds with one stone? Except for the two of them child?"
"I don't have it!"
Jiang Xinyue frowned, and small flames of anger burned in her eyes: "The Queen Mother, I salute you as the Queen Mother, and please don't distort the facts and make bloody remarks. When the Imperial Concubine and Shu Fei had a conflict, I left you. There is a distance of five feet, what kind of monster is this concubine, can she let the empress Shu sit on the imperial concubine from a distance? Or is it that the concubine Shu personally told you that it was the concubine who forced her to fly the kite? She is dignified. A concubine will be forced by a little precious concubine like me. When I say this, do you believe it yourself, Queen Mother?"
Not to mention that the Queen Mother herself doesn’t believe it, everyone here doesn’t believe it either.
Concubine Li's mother, Pei Shi, was also there. She glared at Empress Dowager Wu with a very ugly face: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu is your niece. You have to protect her, and I understand it very well. But you want to find someone." When someone takes the blame, do they have to make a confession in advance? The imperial concubine will no longer be a mother in the future. Logically speaking, should the custody rights of the child born to Concubine Shu belong to the imperial concubine? "
Empress Zhu can adopt a prince, and her daughter is not bad. If she can't give birth to a child, she might as well adopt one.
The quarrel was between Pei and the Queen Mother, but the emperor stayed out of the matter.
He put his arms around Jiang Xinyue's slender waist, took her behind him and hid her, quietly listening to the battle between the two old foxes.
