"Mother, what Xiao Ronghua said is true."
Magpie looked eager: "Empress De Fei really used lynching in the palace and imprisoned a palace maid or someone else."
Jiang Xinyue touched her chin and paced back and forth in the hall.
Magpie really wanted his concubine to go to the emperor and report Concubine De immediately, but he remembered that Concubine De was treacherous and should not be underestimated, so he held it back.
Jiang Xinyue bit her lip and said to the magpie: "Let Jiang Chuan bring Xiao Ronghua back, and hurry up!"
"yes!"
After the magpie went out, Jiang Xinyue put on the gorgeous imperial concubine's dress and led a group of maids and eunuchs to Yanqing Palace.
The most important thing is that he also brought the fourth prince with him, euphemistically saying: the fourth prince misses his second sister.
Lu Yin hid in the dark, watching the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs searching like a carpet, with worry in her eyes.
She poured out a few small snakes from the food box she was carrying, and then immediately ran to Yanqing Palace.
Concubine De wiped her sharp armor with a handkerchief. There was still a faint smell of blood in the air. If Lu Yin hadn't often smelled it in that small room, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"Your Majesty, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are... searching the area near Yanqing Palace. I'm afraid..."
"Afraid?"
As soon as De Fei glanced at her, Lu Yin was so frightened that she swallowed her words back and said cautiously: "I am worried about your empress."
"I don't need you to worry. You should keep your expression in check for me and don't let anyone see the clues. Otherwise, you will be blamed for being kicked out by me."
Lu Yin naturally knew that this matter was related to her life and death, and if she was not careful, her mother-in-law would be harmed.
After taking a few deep breaths, her complexion returned to normal.
Concubine De smiled with satisfaction: "Remember, this matter has nothing to do with us at all. Just do whatever you do on weekdays."
Lu Yin nodded: "The third prince's homework has improved again. Yesterday, my servant went to pick up the third prince, and he was even praised by Mr. Xie from the Hanlin Academy!"
Speaking of the third prince, Concubine De sighed: "What's the use of good homework? The imperial doctor said that his poison has been cured long ago. It's his own problem that he is reluctant to speak. I don't understand. What does he have for me?" What's the dissatisfaction about? Why didn't he say anything? "
Concubine De was puzzled. If the third prince refused to speak, those courtiers who originally supported the third prince would sooner or later join the imperial concubine.
Although she, Jiang Xinyue, only gave birth to a sixth prince, she still had four princes in her name, as well as the fifth prince who was entrusted to her by the queen and was nominally the direct descendant of the Great Yan Dynasty.
If the empress had not died, the position of prince might belong to the fifth prince.
Between the three healthy princes and her son who refused to speak, wasn't it obvious who the final winner was?
Outside the house, the little figure of the third prince looked lonely. He wiped the tears from his eyes and tried to make a sound of "Ahhhhh".
But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't even make such a simple sound. Instead, his fair and tender face turned red.
"Third Prince?"
Lu Yin walked out of the palace, only to find the third prince lying at the door, looking like he was about to hold his breath.
She screamed: "Third Prince, breathe...breathe quickly!"
When Concubine De heard the voice, she quickly came out: "Xuan'er!"
Although the third prince's current behavior does not meet Concubine De's expectations, he is her only son after all.
In this palace, it is definitely not an easy task to give birth to a healthy prince safely and raise him to such a big age.
The energy and time spent in this are beyond imagination.
The third prince's breathing gradually stabilized, but his eyes were extremely cold when he looked at Lu Yin. He pushed her hand away, turned around and ran back to his palace.
"This child..."
"This servant (servant) pays his respects to the Imperial Concubine."
As soon as Lu Yin raised her head, she heard the voice of the palace maid at the door kneeling down and saluting: "The Imperial Concubine is here."
Concubine De stood up slowly, bowed and smiled: "What kind of wind is blowing today? Is the imperial concubine also coming to Yanqing Palace?"
Before they broke up, Concubine Yu invited her many times, but Jiang Xinyue never gave her face once.
Jiang Xinyue smiled perfunctorily: "Xiaoman hasn't seen his third brother for a few days, and he is clamoring to come to see him. I really can't resist him. Where is the third prince?"
Before Concubine De spoke, the third prince poked his head out from the arch at the end of the corridor and winked at the fourth prince.
It turned out that he heard the voice of the palace servants greeting Jiang Xinyue, and then came back.
Turn your elbows all the way out.
The fourth prince looked up at Jiang Xinyue: "Mother and concubine, can I go and play with my third brother?"
"Of course!"
After receiving Jiang Xinyue's affirmative answer, the fourth prince ran to the third prince: "Third brother, look, I brought nine rings. Father said this is a tribute from the Nero Kingdom. This is the only one. Are you not very good at it?" Do you like to solve the Nine Links? I brought it to you specially."
"Do you think my father knows this? He knows! I said I would give it to you, and my father still praised me!"
"You like it? As long as you like it, I've already unlocked three of them, and I'll leave the rest to the third brother!"
"What? You said I gave it to you because I couldn't untie it? No! Who do you think I am? So... Third brother, can you untie it?"
The two brothers still couldn't understand the twists and turns between the adults, so they went to the third prince's territory affectionately.
"I heard that the lotuses in the Imperial Concubine's Palace are in bloom this year, even more beautiful than those in the Lotus Washing Palace. I wonder if I am lucky enough to have a look at them?"
Concubine De of Yanqing Palace was good at raising flowers. The flowers in the palace were as beautiful as those in the imperial garden.
Because of this, concubines often visited De Concubine's palace, and several flower viewing banquets were often held. A group of concubines sat together drinking tea and chatting, all headed by De Concubine.
This is also a good way to win over people's hearts.
When Jiang Xinyue was still a concubine, Yu Feijiu often invited her, but by that time Jiang Xinyue and them had only a superficial sisterly relationship, and she refused every time.
"The Imperial Concubine wants to see it, how can I not obey?"
Concubine De said to Lu Yin: "Go and decorate the lotus garden and prepare some good tea and snacks. I want to entertain the imperial concubine well."
Lu Yin glanced at Concubine De quickly, bowed and said "yes", Concubine De welcomed Jiang Xinyue into the palace with a smile: "Your Majesty, please come in for a cup of tea and have a rest. When the lotus garden is ready, we will move over there. how?"
Jiang Xinyue observed Concubine De's words and deeds, and felt that her psychological quality was far superior to all the patients she had ever come into contact with in the hospital.
She didn't show any of the little movements and emotions in her eyes that people would make when they were lying or flustered.
On the surface, she looks like a good old concubine.
