The virtuous concubine looked at Jiang Ziyan suspiciously and asked meaningfully, "Who do you think is trying to harm you, sister?"
Jiang Ziyan was at a loss, crying, "I don't know either. I just want to ask you to protect me and my son."
She kept her head down, afraid that the virtuous concubine would notice.
In fact, when she returned to the greenhouse, she asked what had happened.
It is speculated that Concubine Xian wanted to kill two birds with one stone and use her to get rid of the Song family. However, for some reason, Song Hongshen did not take the bait, and she was able to escape safely.
Today, I came to ask for help from Concubine Xian, just to humble myself and offer her a chance to live.
Although she was favored by the emperor, she had been in the palace for a short time and the Jiang family had little roots.
The virtuous concubine has been in charge of the harem for more than twenty years, so it would be easy to get rid of her.
She was truly frightened by what happened today. Perhaps because she had been favored and pregnant recently, Concubine Xian was jealous and didn't want to keep her.
Seeing Concubine Xian looking at her inquiringly, Jiang Ziyan continued, "The Emperor and Prince Zhongyong have just met, and I think they are in a time of deep affection between father and son. If I could give you some pointers, it would help the Emperor remember the Crown Prince's kindness."
The virtuous concubine pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Since you call me sister, I have to protect you a little."
"When you serve the Emperor in the future, be alert. You don't need me to teach you what to do."
Jiang Ziyan bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."
In the imperial study, Emperor Xuande walked around to the desk and sat down, then motioned Song Zan and Song Hongshen to sit down as well.
Hu Lu personally brought in tea and was extremely respectful when serving it to Song Hongshen.
The capital city is about to change again.
Those who serve them have to watch the direction of the wind.
After Hu Lu left, Emperor Xuande asked Song Zan, "Tell me about what happened back then. You mentioned the separation between the emperor and the empress today, but I clearly remember that I had already made peace with Zi Ning."
He remembered what happened back then clearly, because after Song Zining passed away, he had been recalling what happened in those days.
He blamed himself for the last few days of her life, and the two of them were still suspicious and hurt.
But he always thought that she left accidentally and never thought that she was going to leave the palace and fake her death.
He asked Song Hongshen about it today in order to resolve the knot between father and son. He was afraid that his son would hate him because of what happened back then.
When Emperor Xuande thought that this was his and Zi Ning's child, his eyes were filled with pity and guilt when he looked at Song Hongshen.
