But, there are always clues to everything. She can't figure it out, not because she can't. She just hasn't found a way yet!
How could she give up!
"Madam Kang, let's make a deal. We will arrange for Princess Jing'an to have relative freedom, and we can also let you and your daughter reunite and live together. But you have to tell me everything you know about Xinyi, including everything Xinyi usually says that has nothing to do with medical skills or human poison."
She would look around, perhaps there might be some useful clues.
Nanny Kang was silent for a while, "I don't want the prince to suffer. Okay, I agree."
Just as Nanny Kang and Baili Feiyue were discussing everything related to Xinyi in detail, the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother were plotting in the palace where the Grand Empress Dowager lived.
After Chang Sun Qing ascended the throne, he did not appoint Baili Feiyue as the Queen Mother. One reason was that Baili Feiyue did not want to. What good would it be to be the Queen Mother and stay in the deep palace every day?
She can see her son whenever she wants, even if she is not the queen mother.
Therefore, the identities of Changsun Wuji and Baili Feiyue remained unchanged.
There are still two people in the palace whose identities have not been changed, namely the former empress dowager and the former queen.
The reason why their identities have not changed is that the supporting forces behind them have been eliminated, so they can't cause any trouble. Another reason is that it helps to stop people from gossiping.
Although Baili Feiyue's family didn't care what others said, Chang Sunqing was going to be the emperor after all. And he was going to be the emperor at such a young age, so he would be the emperor for a long time.
If there is one person in the world who does not sincerely submit to him and agree with him, he can kill that person. Does that mean that if everyone in the world does not sincerely submit to him and agree with him, he will kill everyone in the world?
He wants to be an emperor, not a commander without any troops.
Being an emperor means you can't do whatever you want like Zhangsun Wuji did when he was the regent. You can't just use force and intimidation.
We must still use the necessary political means and the means to win over the people’s hearts and minds.
Therefore, compared with Emperor Jing or other royal men like Changsun Jue, the empress dowager and queen, who seemed to have a particularly long life, were upgraded to the current grand empress dowager and queen mother.
Although it was just a signboard and did not have the dignity and power of a normal Grand Empress Dowager or Empress Dowager, she would not be mean to them.
The basic enjoyment will still be there.
To put it bluntly, as long as they don't act like evil or seek death, Emperor Chengyuan, Changsun Qing, will give them the respect they deserve and let them live out their days in peace.
But these two people obviously don't intend to be mascots.
The former queen, now the queen mother, said to the former queen mother, now the grand empress dowager, "Your Majesty, do you know that Nanny Kang from the Prince Regent's Mansion has come to the palace to see the Princess Regent. The two have been talking behind closed doors for almost an hour, and they haven't come out yet."
"Aren't you curious about what they are talking about?"
After all, she has been in the deep palace for many years, and no matter how the people around her have been purged, it is still possible to ensure that the conversations here are not leaked.
Therefore, the Queen Mother spoke without restraint.
The Empress Dowager twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand. "They say that every experience brings wisdom. Your temperament is not as calm as before."
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is of noble status. The Regent Prince is not your biological son, but according to the rules and in name, he has to call you your Majesty. What am I? Not only do I have no children, but my husband, the late Emperor, was..."
"Although I am now the Queen Mother in name only, I am in constant fear and have never felt at peace for a single day."
The Empress Dowager drooped her eyelids and glanced at her, "You don't have to act like this in front of me."
"Please forgive me, mother. But mother, the late emperor was your own son, and he died so tragically. Are you really not going to avenge him?"
The Empress Dowager sneered softly and sighed, "You should be more patient."
"Mother, I don't understand."
"Jing'an is still trapped in the palace. Jing'an is my adopted daughter. I can't bear to see her suffer." The Empress Dowager suddenly said this.
"Please explain clearly, mother." The Queen Mother asked because she didn't understand.
The shrewdness in the eyes of the Grand Empress Dowager seemed to be completely calm. "Every time I leave the palace, I will rescue some little girls who are destined to enter the palace, not just Jing'an. But do you know why I adopted Jing'an as my adopted daughter?"
"I don't know."
"Hehe, Jing'an's life story is very interesting."
"What does mother mean?"
"Twenty years ago, I went out of the palace to worship Buddha. I met a helpless two-year-old girl. As usual, I asked someone to check the child's background. The strange thing is that this little girl seemed to have appeared out of thin air. No one had seen her or knew any information about her."
The Empress Dowager smiled meaningfully, "So I realized that this person was sent to me on purpose. I found her interesting, so I took her back to the palace."
"Seven or eight years passed in a flash. When I almost forgot about her, I suddenly discovered her life experience by accident."
The Queen Mother spoke, "Her background is..."
The Empress Dowager glanced at her and said, "That year, Concubine Chen Xinyi, who left the palace to set up her own residence, died from a piece of white silk from her own son."
"What your Majesty means is that Jing'an's background and..."
"Oh, she is the nanny beside Concubine Chen, and the daughter of Nanny Kang in the Prince Regent's Palace.
When Concubine Chen died, that nanny managed to sneak into the palace and watched Jing'an from afar several times. I followed the clues and found out some clues."
"So I adopted her as my adopted daughter. I made her a princess and gave her the title Jing'an. Even though she herself didn't know her identity at that time."
The Queen Mother frowned, "Mother, you know about Princess Jing'an's identity. Do Madam Kang and others know about it?"
The Empress Dowager smiled meaningfully, "She and I both pretended not to know each other, but we worked well together. At the beginning, I wanted to test whether the Regent was really an eunuch, so I chose Princess Jing'an.
Princess Jing'an didn't know the relationship between Kang Mama and her. At that time, she was absolutely loyal to me. She also loved Zhangsun Wuji from the bottom of her heart. She was very happy with my arrangement. "
At this point, the Empress Dowager sneered, "At that time, Zhangsun Wuji had already slaughtered the palace with blood and killed his father. He pushed your husband, his brother, to the throne, and he himself became the regent with great power."
Speaking of Emperor Jing, the Queen Mother quickly pretended to be sad, even though she had no feelings for Emperor Jing.
The Empress Dowager continued, "Now it seems that the Regent is certainly not a eunuch, but at the beginning I was almost certain that he was. So when Nanny Kang beside the Regent was particularly cooperative, I still felt strange."
"After all, Jing'an is her daughter after all. Although the Regent is extremely powerful, such a terrible monster who is worse than an animal is 'rootless'. If she lets her daughter get involved with him, won't she be pushed into a pit of fire for life?"
The Empress Dowager sneered, "Little did you know that Nanny Kang knew in her heart that the Regent was not an eunuch. I don't know how they concealed the truth. I clearly remember that he was cut off from his roots when he was a child. He was seriously ill at that time and had to recuperate for a long time..."
The Empress Dowager smiled sinisterly, "Madame Kang has a good plan. She must want to make Princess Jing'an and the Regent a fait accompli. It would be best if they could give birth to a child right away.
So after I chose Jing'an, she calculated the time and place, and took advantage of the Regent's trust in her to drug the Regent, causing him to become unconscious.
Hahaha, I am dying of laughter, who would have thought that because of the schemes among the women in the General's Mansion, a concubine's daughter Ling Jing, who I had never heard of before, would benefit by accident!"
"Mother, didn't you discover it in time?" asked the Queen Mother.
"That bastard Jing'an, he didn't accomplish his mission, and was frightened by some scene, so he didn't dare to tell the truth when he came back. The one who lied to me, the regent, is indeed a 'eunuch'!"
“So, later on, I always believed that the bastard that the Regent brought back to the palace was really just a bastard brought back from outside!
Although the Regent did not know that it was his child at the time, Ling Jing suddenly appeared and confirmed the identity of the child. I connected the cause and effect and was caught off guard!"
The Queen Mother's expression gradually twisted, "If there was no Ling Jing, and no two evil offspring that suddenly appeared, even if the Regent had monstrous abilities, he would not have his own offspring, and I would be able to make him lose control of this great scene, unless he wanted to control an empty country with no people and no officials!"
"It's all because of Ling Jing, this Cheng Yaojin who showed up midway and ruined my good deeds!"
The Queen Mother's emotions fluctuated greatly, and she was satisfied in her heart. She pretended to be worried, "But the current situation is that even if the concubine and the Queen Mother are unwilling, we can't shake them."
The Empress Dowager looked down at her in an unfathomable way. "You don't understand. They will definitely rot from the inside. Just wait and see. By then, we may not have to do anything. Of course, you have to live to wait until then."
"Mother, what do you mean by that..." The Queen Mother looked confused and horrified.
"Don't think that I don't know about your affair with Princess Ming. If I know what you know, do you think His Majesty and the Regent know about it? I am also puzzled. I don't know what you like about Princess Ming."
The Queen Mother's face turned pale, "Mother, I, your concubine..."
What a coincidence.
At this time, the Empress Dowager's trusted maid who was guarding outside the palace came in and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Princess Ming has come to the palace to pay her respects to you and the Empress Dowager, and is now waiting outside for an audience."
"Oh."
The Empress Dowager sneered strangely, and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant, completely losing all color.
