Jiang Yuanying's story was full of loopholes. The Dali Temple official couldn't find the murderer, so he could only interrogate the people in the manor, including Jiang Yuanying, over and over again.
Jiang Yuanying repeated his words over and over again, but the Dali Temple Minister did not believe him and continued to ask questions, using Jiang Yuanying as a breakthrough point.
Jiang Yuanying was summoned from Prince Gong's Mansion to the Dali Temple over and over again, and his mental state was destroyed.
She said to Prince Gong: "If you continue like this, I'm afraid I'll say I'm the murderer."
"How is this different from a confession forced under torture?"
“He didn’t destroy my body, but he destroyed my mind.”
"I just can't stand it anymore."
"I guess the prince wouldn't want to have a concubine who is a murderer, right?"
He had just been named the Crown Prince, and all the officials had opinions about him. If someone in his house was found to have murdered his parents, it would naturally be very detrimental to Prince Gong's reputation.
But this matter was withheld by Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi is the queen now, and the only one who can make Jiang Yi give in is naturally the queen mother.
After hearing Prince Gong's intentions, the Queen Mother frowned. "Everyone knows how much Anyuan Hou doted on Yuanying. How could Yuanying be connected to the deaths of Anyuan Hou and Concubine Cui? If Yuanying's story is unbelievable, then whose story is?"
"I think Zhong Ling just listened to the Queen and put the blame on Yuan Ying just to make us unhappy."
The Queen Mother had dealt with Jiang Yi before, although it was only that one time. But she knew that this man looked young and immature, and was not from a noble family, but he had a lot of crooked ideas.
When confronting her, the queen mother, he was merciless.
"It would be fine if she targeted me, but I'm afraid she might target His Majesty."
Hearing her say this, the Queen Mother immediately remembered.
"Earlier, when I asked the Emperor to set up the pillow, she was very dissatisfied. Also, if she gets pregnant in the future, she will naturally be wary of the pillow. It's not surprising that she would do this now."
"For now, I can only talk to the emperor."
"Let's not talk about this for now. You guys should stay and have lunch with me today. It's been a long time since I've been with you."
Prince Gong and Jiang Yuanying nodded in agreement.
The Queen Mother then said to Jiang Yuanying, "You are now Zhen'er's concubine. Although it is a little different from what I imagined before, this is just the beginning. The relationship between you and Zhen'er is there, and I like you the most. If you have a son or a daughter, you will definitely have a place in Prince Gong's Mansion in the future."
"Yuanying, don't just focus on the present."
Jiang Yuanying's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this.
Although she had such a determination before, after seeing what happened between Aunt Cui and Zhu Hao that day, and after Marquis Anyuan was burned to death, she was frightened all day long and could no longer think about those things.
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, hope was rekindled.
"Your Majesty is right. I will keep it in mind."
She wanted to give birth to a child for Prince Gong as soon as possible.
Then she looked at Prince Gong with affection, but Prince Gong did not look at her.
Too many things have happened recently, and coupled with the trouble that Jiang Yuanying has caused him, it is difficult for him to have patience with Jiang Yuanying.
In addition, Marquis Anyuan had passed away, and He and Jiang Yuanying had become estranged. Jiang Yuanying was just an ordinary concubine's daughter in Marquis Anyuan's mansion. She could not bring him any benefits and only caused trouble for her.
Thinking of this, Prince Gong's eyes were full of impatience.
"Zhen'er." The Queen Mother also noticed Prince Gong's expression. "Under the circumstances now, having a child is the most important thing for you."
"It's difficult for the royal family to have children. If you have a child, it will also give people peace of mind."
Prince Gong's eyebrows also moved slightly.
The Queen Mother's words really touched his heart.
"I will listen to your Majesty, but a bastard's son is no match for a legitimate son. I have not yet married, and I would like to ask your Majesty to arrange a marriage for me."
Sons are important, and wives are important too.
It would be great if he could marry a few wives or concubines who could be beneficial to him.
The Queen Mother said, "I will take care of you."
As for how sad and lost Jiang Yuanying was, the Queen Mother and Prince Gong naturally couldn't see it at the moment.
After lunch, someone arrived from Changchun Palace. Eunuch Liu greeted the Empress Dowager first, then said, "The Emperor heard about this when the Prince entered the palace."
"The prince has just taken in a concubine. Although it's not a wife, it has resolved a major issue on the emperor's mind. The emperor wants to say that if the prince and Concubine Jiang have nothing to do, they can go sit with the queen."
As for why he didn't go to the emperor, it was naturally because he was afraid that the empress dowager would worry.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother felt a little embarrassed.
And Jiang Yuanying also didn't want to see Jiang Yi from the bottom of his heart.
The future she imagined was one where she would sit at the top, watching Jiang Yi humbly bow down before her.
Instead of being like now, she was in such a miserable state that she even dared not think about the day when she would step on Jiang Yi.
But since the emperor said so, how could they not go?
Prince Gong said, "Just tell your brother, I'll be there in a moment."
Prince Gong bid farewell to the Queen Mother and took Jiang Yuanci to the Changchun Palace.
Just as Eunuch Liu had said before, Xie Yuan was not there.
The person they met was Jiang Yi.
She was wearing a sky-blue wide-sleeved pomegranate dress with a pattern of fairies. Her three thousand black hair was tied into a hibiscus bun, and a royal blue glass hairpin was inserted between her hair. She had a light makeup on. The once frail girl had become somewhat dignified and noble under the makeup of gold and jade. When she looked at them from afar, a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Her snow-white skin adds a touch of beauty to her stunning appearance, and when blown by the breeze, her already slender waist looks even more charming.
At this moment, Prince Gong was deeply amazed.
Especially when Jiang Yi looked at him, his gaze was long and meaningful.
This made Prince Gong You suddenly recall the past.
She was supposed to be his princess!
Resentment and resentment flowed between his lips and teeth. He did not look away for a long time until Jiang Yuanying tugged at the corner of his clothes, which brought him back to his senses.
