When Emperor Xuanwu reached his mouth, he hesitated. His intuition was that the third prince had misunderstood Concubine De. How could Concubine De say such words to the Third Prince to sow discord between Concubine Zhen and the Third Prince?
He didn't take it too seriously, so he didn't think deeply about it. He only answered the previous question: "The eldest and second emperor sisters are our Xuan'er's sisters. Xuan'er is a man. You can't break up with your sister just because of a trivial matter. Really? Your mother and concubine, that is a matter between adults and has nothing to do with you. You can also say the same to the two imperial sisters when you go back, and just say that it was the emperor who said it."
The third prince nodded vigorously: "Empress Zhen is right. My father is really wise and powerful. Nothing can trouble my father."
Jiang Xinyue's flattery passed through the third prince in a roundabout way and then fed back to herself.
People's farts stink because molecules are moving, and flattery smells good, and this is also true.
Rumors, rumours, and rumors of all kinds flowed through the palace faster than the movement of molecules.
The disagreement between the virtuous concubine and the good concubine is an indisputable fact.
"What's wrong with you? You can't even look after a child. What use do I need from you?"
Concubine De was a little angry recently, and rumors came out from nowhere that she and Concubine Liang were not getting along.
Last time at Shun'an Palace, she did have a dispute with Concubine Liang. She deliberately provoked Concubine Liang so that she couldn't help but take action. She fell on the corner of the table and cut her face.
She did this just to let the emperor and the empress see clearly who was the best candidate to be the first of the four concubines.
Later, after the empress's mediation, Concubine Liang also apologized to her. In order to maintain her image as a Buddhist, she had shaken hands with Concubine Liang and made peace.
It's just that I don't know who is making trouble in front of the second princess, which makes the relationship between the children very awkward.
She had previously been on guard against the good concubine attacking her children. She told the second princess and the third prince that she had little contact with Shun'an Palace, and the children did not dare to ask her. They would inevitably ask the palace attendants who were serving her.
Maybe it was because she didn't explain the situation in time at that time, which caused such a situation.
Facing Concubine De's anger, the palace people knelt on the ground.
"Why is my concubine so angry?"
The familiar male voice startled Concubine De. She stood up hurriedly, her heart pounding like thunder, and she thought about it repeatedly: "I am... I am paying my respects to the emperor."
She raised her head and glanced at the third prince who was sleeping in Emperor Xuanwu's arms, and tears fell instantly: "I thought... I thought something happened to Xuan'er, I'm so anxious."
It is perfectly normal for him to be so angry because he is concerned about the safety of the third prince.
The emperor comforted her and said: "Xuan'er secretly went to Hexi Palace. The palace servants from Hexi Palace followed him and then went to Chengqian Palace to find me."
Concubine De stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not just a matter of going to the waterside to play. Concubine Zhen, I can rest assured."
"Um!"
The emperor nodded, handed the sleeping third prince to the wet nurse, took Concubine De's hand and sat down, patted it without letting go: "Xuan'er has been raised well, I have worked hard for you for so many years."
Concubine De felt a thump in her heart: The weasel was sending New Year greetings to the rooster, which was not a good intention. Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
She thought about all the bad things she had done in her life, and finally found that there were too many. Before she could finish thinking, the emperor spoke again: "So I hope that he can continue to be like this. Concubine De understands that I What do you mean?"
The man's eyes were burning, but they were not full of love, but filled with scrutiny and severity.
Concubine Zhen…Xuan’er…good concubine…
Concubine De's mind was flashing with lightning, and there was a puzzled look on her face: "Xuan'er is my concubine's child, and I should do my best to take care of him. I have been feeling unwell recently, and I may have neglected to discipline him. He always ran towards sister Zhenbin. I was afraid that Zhenbin would be sick after he got sick, so I scared him a few words, saying that Zhenbin thought he was annoying and asked him to stop disturbing sister Zhenbin’s pregnancy. This little thing, Are you going to complain to the emperor, saying that your concubine has bullied him?"
So that’s what happened.
Emperor Xuanwu smiled again and let go of her hand with a somewhat concerned tone: "My beloved concubine is sick? Have you asked the imperial doctor?"
The cat cries and the mouse fakes mercy.
Concubine De smiled: "I have already asked Cuiyin to go to the Tai Hospital to get medicine."
Hexi Palace——
"The emperor is having dinner at Yanqing Palace?"
Magpie nodded: "Empress, it seems that Empress Dowager De is not so easy to fall out of favor."
Jiang Xinyue picked up a chopstick of her favorite sub-ginger fried chicken, chewed it carefully and said: "I didn't expect to be able to pull her down in one go. I just planted seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart little by little. As long as we persist , working tirelessly to water and eliminate insects from this seed. One day, the seed will grow into a towering tree, and the image of the concubine will collapse in the heart of the emperor."
He will have a severe feeling of being cheated, he will be angry, and he will feel betrayed.
Will Concubine De be able to withstand the emperor's wrath?
She planted the seeds. If the owner of the seeds dared to deal with her rashly, she would start watering and fertilizing.
Jiang Xinyue is not afraid of Empress Zhu, nor is she afraid of Concubine Li, nor is she afraid of Concubine Liang. She is only afraid that when the time comes for her to give birth and she has no time to take care of it, Concubine De will secretly take action.
On the day the emperor finished his dinner at Yanqing Palace, Concubine De said that she could not recover from her illness. The imperial doctor only said that Concubine De was suffering from cold.
Now, even the third prince was ordered not to come to Hexi Palace again.
The corner of Jiang Xinyue's mouth raised a hint of satisfaction. It seemed that their empress De Fei was very smart. She understood her warning and gave in to her.
Concubine De is indeed a rare opponent, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
Jiang Xinyue had no guilt about taking advantage of the third prince, because trusting and relying on her father would only make Emperor Xuanwu love and pity the third prince even more.
This time, Concubine De suffered the disadvantage of being mute. She was obviously a scheming veteran, but her son was a silly, open-minded person who kept everything he could and could not say to others.
But she couldn't tell her son clearly, otherwise this silly Baitian would go to his father to answer his questions, then she would just pack her bags and go to the cold palace to retire!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the concubine should not be underestimated. Concubine De called the chief eunuch in her palace: "Are you sure that all the people we arranged for you have been dealt with?"
The eldest eunuch nodded: "Don't worry, my queen, the fire in the Washing Palace will burn to death more than just the queen's informants."
Before Empress Zhenbi left the cold palace, the Xihe Palace was struck by lightning and a fire broke out, killing two palace ladies, one of whom was from Yanqing Palace.
It was Concubine De who placed the saw under the magpie's bed and framed Concubine Zhen for sawing off the railing of the lotus pond.
Until now, everyone still thinks that it was a trap deliberately set by Concubine Li and her party to set up Concubine Zhen.
