Chapter 393 Fainted with anger
Shoukang Palace.
The empress dowager leaned on the large pillow, her face dark and pale, and the imperial physician who was taking her pulse had trembling hands.
I have been taking the Empress Dowager's pulse for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen her so angry.
The Empress Dowager was furious and might even kill someone to vent her anger at any time. If the doctor wasn't careful, he would end up in the Empress Dowager's clutches. How could he not be afraid?
The Empress Dowager had a nightmare and used the Imperial Observatory to direct the spearhead towards Concubine Chen. She wanted the coffin to be carried into the palace and sent out of the palace in the same way. She thought she could control the Emperor with filial piety, but the Emperor ignored her and even took the life of Mr. Zheng from the Imperial Observatory.
If it wasn't a conflict, then she was really ill. Almost all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau came to see the Empress Dowager and discussed a prescription.
Since pretending to be sick was useless, there was no need for the Queen Mother to continue pretending. However, the Queen Mother's nightmare was fake, but her illness was real.
How could I not be angry?
Even if you change your face or your identity, it cannot change the fact that the person lying in the coffin is the Princess of Jin!
As an emperor, he coveted the emperor's sister-in-law, did such immoral and incestuous things, and still wanted to clear her name. He is not worthy of being the emperor!
She was truly blind at the time.
The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes hurt, so she could only close them tightly to relieve herself. A palace maid stepped forward quickly, "Queen Mother..."
Nanny Gui served the Empress Dowager, and now she was terrified when she saw the palace maids and eunuchs hurried in.
It's not a good thing, it just adds fuel to the fire.
The Empress Dowager is already ill and can no longer be angry. Nanny Gui needs to screen it first. If there are things that the Empress Dowager can know, she should tell her. If there are things that cannot be known, they should be concealed until the Empress Dowager recovers.
But it was no use. The Queen Mother opened her eyes and said, "Tell me! What happened again?!"
The palace maid stepped forward and said, "News just came from Taiyuan Palace, saying that Concubine Chen is the biological daughter of Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin, who was abducted more than 30 years ago..."
Swish.
The Queen Mother's face, which was already dark, turned even darker when she heard this.
puff.
A mouthful of blood spit out.
The Queen Mother fainted.
“Queen Mother!!!”
The maidservant in the palace suddenly panicked, "Imperial Physician!"
The two poor imperial doctors were discussing the prescription over there, and when they saw the empress dowager vomiting blood and fainting, they were almost frightened to death.
Nanny Gui felt sorry for the Queen Mother.
No emperor has ever been so greedy.
He disguised himself as Concubine Chen and brought the coffin of Princess Jin back to the capital as Concubine Chen. It was not enough to keep it for himself, but he also wanted everyone to know that Concubine Chen was the daughter of Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin. Even if the excuse was good, there would definitely be people who suspected that Concubine Chen was Princess Jin. Did the Emperor want to anger the Empress Dowager to death?
The imperial physician hurried over to take the empress dowager's pulse and give her acupuncture.
The Concubine Chen was the biological daughter of the old tutor Lin and the old lady Lin. The news of the Princess Jin's twin sister spread throughout the palace.
Anyone who heard the news was shocked.
After all, everyone knew that Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin had only one daughter, the Princess of Jin.
How can we not be surprised when this person suddenly appears out of nowhere?
But there was no point in being surprised. When Old Tutor Lin passed the imperial examination and was retained in the Hanlin Academy, Old Madam Lin did indeed bring her daughter to Beijing alone.
As to whether Mrs. Lin gave birth to one daughter or two, there is no way to find out.
It's just what they say.
A few days ago, it was Prince Qing and Duke Song who made up stories for the emperor, but now the situation is reversed.
Um.
The emperor went to Taiyuan Hall every day to pay homage to Concubine Chen and burn incense for her.
Today I just remembered to ask if there were any burial objects left with Concubine Chen when her body was dug out.
The things were there, but they were all in the coffin, so the emperor ordered people to open it.
It was a small box with a jade pendant inside.
The emperor wanted to pick up the jade pendant, but Eunuch An stopped him. After all, it was a burial object for Concubine Chen, and it would be unlucky to touch it again after so many years.
The emperor doesn’t care about all these. As an emperor, is he afraid of such bad luck?
Just as the emperor picked it up to look at it, Chen Ji and Yun came to pay homage to Concubine Chen. Seeing the jade pendant in the emperor's hand, Yun asked one more question. After leaving the palace, Yun went straight to the Lin Mansion. Then, Madam Lin, who was old and rarely left the house a few times a year, rushed into the palace in a hurry.
Go straight to Taiyuan Hall to see the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was hanging around her daughter's neck when she lost it.
A jade pendant alone is certainly not enough to prove that Concubine Chen is the daughter of Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin. It may have happened to fall into Concubine Chen's hands, but it doesn't matter. If the jade pendant is not enough, the birthmark can make up for it.
The Emperor and Concubine Chen had physical contact, and no one knew better than the Emperor where Concubine Chen had her birthmark.
If I didn't know that Concubine Chen was the Princess of Jin, I would have believed it, let alone others.
Old Madam Lin originally wanted to go to the palace to pay tribute to her daughter, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she held back. Now she can cry openly.
Old Madam Lin held the coffin and cried for a long time.
That jade pendant was indeed a burial object and was dug out in front of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
But the jade pendant belongs to Shen Ji.
Lin Qingyin was the Princess of Jin. She had been a widow for three years, but she faked her death and left the capital, giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl. This was a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of her family.
Even if he was buried in Suizhou, Shen Ji did not dare to take it lightly.
Most of the things Lin Qingyin carried with her were washed away by the water, but the remaining things were not left for her. Shen Ji left the jade pendant he carried with him in the coffin as a burial companion for Lin Qingyin.
The emperor was certain that Concubine Chen was the daughter of Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin, and there was no point in anyone else questioning it.
It’s just a pity for Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin, their two daughters, each less fortunate than the other.
One of them married the prince and was supposed to be the mother of the country and enjoy all the honors, but she became a widow on her wedding night and was eventually burned to death.
One of them had a brief romance with the emperor, but was never able to enter the palace. She was murdered in Suizhou, and her two children are missing.
Thinking of those two children...
Civil and military officials looked at each other in bewilderment.
This is the key point!
If we want to find that prince, then isn’t he the grandson of Old Tutor Lin?
Old Taifu Lin and Duke Dingguo have a father-son relationship, while Duke Dingguo and Prince Jingbei are in-laws...
Duke Dingguo and Prince Jingbei hold almost half of the military power of the Ning Dynasty, and behind them is the Yun family, which is as wealthy as a country.
Once the prince is found, there will be a force competing for the throne.
As long as the prince is not illiterate and not presentable, or has the full support of Prince Jingbei and Duke Dingguo, even Prince Cheng will not be able to compete with him.
King Cheng is in danger.
King Cheng must be placed on that throne before the prince is found.
Otherwise, once the prince is found, who knows what the situation will become.
The Cheng Wang party members were trembling with fear, as if facing a powerful enemy.
In the Taiyuan Hall, Xie Jingyu and others were kneeling to burn paper, but they did not kneel all the time. There were too many people, so they were divided into several shifts. Only Xie Jingyu and Pei Huaijin were there all the time.
One cannot leave, the other dares not leave.
While throwing paper money into the brazier, Prince Yuzhang asked Xie Jingyu in a low voice, "Have you found the prince?"
Xie Jingyu looked up and saw Pei Huaijin looking at him with a pair of gossipy eyes.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Eating your own melon tastes especially good, doesn’t it?
