Chapter 226 Is She Going to Harm You?
After Concubine Rou finished speaking, she wept and bowed her head to the ground.
It seems like a white magnolia knocked down by the spring rain, fragile and beautiful.
But it also makes people feel sad.
Emperor Minghe looked surprised and didn't say anything for a long time. He even forgot to help Concubine Rou up.
Chen Ya also knelt beside Concubine Rou.
"Your Majesty, if the baby swap is true, then Sister Roufei is too pitiful!"
"Also, if your offspring were to be stranded outside, this would also be a serious matter!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Sister Roufei!"
Chen Ya's words completely touched Emperor Minghe's heart.
He most likely has a child who is living outside, and the child may even be a prince!
Not to mention, Lu Jingyu had just reminded him intentionally...
"Hurry up, all of you," Emperor Minghe raised his hand to help Concubine Rou up, "If the child was really replaced, it is still my child. Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth!"
Concubine Rou raised her head and nodded with tearful eyes.
Emperor Minghe said, "During the dinner tonight, the Queen Mother will definitely mention Mingyue's matter. Then you will step out and ask me to restore her to the position of princess."
Concubine Rou was a little confused.
Since everyone suspected that she was fake, why did they want to restore her princess status?
Chen Ya, who was standing next to him, reacted quickly. "Your Majesty, do you want to first test your blood relationship to confirm whether Qin Mingyue is the daughter of you and Concubine Rou?"
"right."
Because there is another possibility, that is, although Qin Mingyue was not born to Concubine Rou, she is still the daughter of Emperor Minghe.
So after she reforms and is favored by the Queen Mother, she will still be a princess.
Of course, the person behind the child swap still needs to be investigated.
Soon, Concubine Rou understood the pros and cons and nodded.
"Your Majesty, I will follow your instructions!"

Lu Jingyu returned to the Duke's Mansion and went to the front yard of Songtao Pavilion first. He took a bath and changed into casual clothes.
When I went to the backyard, I saw Qing Ning talking to Grandma Liao and others.
Little Xiyao was sleeping soundly in the cradle.
Gu Qingning: "Jingyu, you're back? Did everything go smoothly when you went to meet the Queen Mother today?"
Lu Jingyu walked over and poked his daughter's chubby little face with his hand.
The little guy whined twice, but didn't wake up.
Lu Jingyu: "Everything went well, but the Queen Mother mentioned Qin Mingyue. Tonight is the palace banquet for the royal family. The Queen Mother will definitely let Your Majesty restore Qin Mingyue's princess status."
Gu Qingning: "Although His Majesty knows that Qin Mingyue should suffer some hardships, he is very filial to the Queen Mother."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Mingyue should be back in the palace soon."
Lu Jingyu: "It's better to go back to the palace."
Gu Qingning: "Hmm?"
Lu Jingyu: "I just reminded your majesty tactfully in the imperial study about the baby swap."
"Your Majesty is very suspicious and will bear the brunt of the situation. He will definitely use blood test to confirm if Qin Mingyue is his daughter."
If Qin Mingyue is still his daughter, at least her royal bloodline has not been confused.
But they all knew that Qin Mingyue was not.
This is a big problem.
Gu Qingning understood, "So, this banquet tonight is destined to make Qin Mingyue's identity restored, but at the same time, it will also be the beginning of His Majesty's investigation into this matter?"
"Well, when I left the Imperial Study just now, I saw Chen Ya accompanying Concubine Rou to see His Majesty."
"The eyes of Concubine Rou are red, perhaps it is because of this matter."
In addition, he also informed Luo Shui in the palace and explained them.
Gu Qingning nodded.
"Then tonight must be the proudest moment for Concubine Su, and Qin Mingyue will also be very proud to enter the palace in the near future."
"Yes, if you want to destroy them, you have to make them crazy first."
That night.
In the Yonghe Hall of the imperial palace, the lights were bright and the music of orchestras and stringed instruments was endless.
As the protagonist of the banquet, the old Empress Dowager sat next to Emperor Minghe, but she pursed her lips and looked unhappy.
Concubine Su hid the pride in her eyes.
The Ninth Prince, who was sitting below, looked over from afar with an unpredictable expression.
Everyone knows that the Queen Mother dotes on Qin Mingyue the most.
Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that Qin Mingyue will regain her status as a princess.
Both Concubine Su and the Ninth Prince were thinking about how to continue to use Qin Mingyue to achieve more things.
At this moment, Concubine Rou suddenly came out from her seat, touched her skirt and knelt down.
"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy, forgive Mingyue, and restore her princess status!"
As soon as Concubine Rou finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
Concubine Su stood up excitedly, "Concubine Rou, why are you speaking for Mingyue? You have always been..."
Concubine Rou raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked aggrieved and weak.
"Sister Su, I am Mingyue's mother, why shouldn't I speak up for her?"
"I was annoyed by her ignorance before, but after all, we are mother and daughter, how can we really hate each other?"
Concubine Su was speechless.
The empress dowager, who was sitting at the top, looked at Concubine Rou with approval, then turned her head and looked at Emperor Minghe with a reproachful tone.
"Your Majesty, although Mingyue made mistakes, she is still young. She must have realized her mistakes after spending some time reflecting on her mistakes."
"The lesson has been taught, and that's enough."
"Besides, you said she was disobedient and disrespectful to Concubine Rou, but Concubine Rou was not angry with her own daughter. Isn't it time for you to calm down and restore Mingyue's status as a princess?"
Emperor Minghe frowned and said nothing, looking unhappy.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "My life is so miserable. I don't have many grandchildren to show my filial piety to me. And my favorite granddaughter was abandoned by someone."
"It seems that this palace is not very welcoming to me. I'd better go back to the temple to pray for blessings."
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Emperor Minghe hurriedly said:
"Mother, please don't say that. All right, I'll promise you that I will restore Mingyue's princess status and summon her to the palace to accompany you tomorrow morning, okay?"
After hearing what Emperor Minghe said, the Empress Dowager was completely satisfied. She also advised:
"Let Mingyue come into the palace and go see Concubine Rou first. I've been away for three years, why do I feel that Concubine Rou has lost a lot of weight?"
Concubine Rou had already returned to her seat and said quickly:
"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I have been worrying about nothing. I will definitely take good care of myself from now on."
The Queen Mother nodded.
Then, her eyes fell on Chen Ya, who was sitting next to Concubine Rou, and became sharp.
Just like Qin Mingyue's matter, Concubine Su also exaggerated the matter of Chen Ya when she told it to the Empress Dowager.
In fact, the Queen Mother saw Chen Ya’s wedding to the Third Prince.
What a daughter of a side branch, it's just an excuse.
I recognized him as soon as I saw him.
But the empress dowager did give Emperor Minghe some face, and Mingyue's matter had achieved its purpose, so she did not become more aggressive.
When the banquet was almost over, the Queen Mother said to Emperor Minghe:
"Emperor, I am tired. Let's stop here for today. Please accompany me back to the Cining Palace."
"Yes, mother."
Everyone knelt on the ground and watched Emperor Minghe and the Empress Dowager leave.
After they left, Concubine Su stood up first, walked to Concubine Rou, and snorted coldly.
"Sister Roufei, didn't you say that Mingyue was deeply hurt? Why are you turning around and pleading for her?"
Concubine Rou: "After all, we are mother and daughter. Sister Su, you have never given birth to a daughter, so you probably don't know."
Concubine Su choked.
But Concubine Rou was gentle and kind again, just like many times before.
No matter how big a mistake Mingyue makes, Concubine Rou will forgive her in the end.
So stupid!
When Concubine Su thought of Concubine Rou's unbridled indulgence and forgiveness of other people's daughters, she felt happy.
She didn't say anything else, but glanced at Concubine Chen, snorted, and turned away.
Concubine Rou suddenly became very nervous, and turned her head and whispered to Chen Ya beside her:
"Sister Chen, Concubine Su looked at you like that just now. Is she going to harm you again?"
Seeing her nervous look, Chen Ya was very calm and tried to comfort her instead.
"It's alright. I guess he just exaggerated the incident of the former third prince's wife and told the old queen to her."
When Concubine Rou heard this, she became even more worried.
She didn't care whether Concubine Chen was the former consort of the Third Prince.
Since this person was accepted by Your Majesty, then His Majesty must have his reasons.
She was simply worried about Chen Ya.
Chen Ya: "Okay, Sister Roufei, don't worry, I'm fine. You are also tired today, go back to the palace and rest early."
Concubine Rou had no choice but to nod.
After bidding farewell to Concubine Rou, Chen Ya led her people towards her own palace.
Concubine Zuo was still living in her side palace, but because the little princess was ill, she did not attend the banquet tonight.
Chen Ya was walking through a long corridor with her maids and eunuchs when she suddenly heard a muffled groan from a palace servant beside her. Someone had hit her with a club and she fainted on the ground.
The two men in black did not dare to attack Chen Ya, but stood still with sticks in their hands.
Chen Ya narrowed her eyes, turned around and was about to run.
At this time, someone walked out slowly from the rockery.
"Don't even think about calling for help. I have sent all the palace servants away from here."
"Even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you."
"Chen Ya, my former princess, I hope you are doing well!"
Today's banquet was held by the royal family to welcome the Queen Mother, and the Third Prince Qin Xuanye, who had been released from confinement, naturally came as well.
But throughout the whole process, everyone's attention was on Qin Mingyue, and no one paid attention to him.
He just sat in the corner, looking at Chen Ya gloomily like a poisonous snake.
Qin Xuanye has never liked Chen Ya.
He disliked her for being a woman who was too rigid and always controlled him, not allowing him to do this or that.
Even if he slept with a few prostitutes, she would get angry.
Later, when Qin Xuanye's favorite concubine was forced to death by Chen Ya, he became murderous.
Started to poison Chen Ya.
He only needs to wait for Chen Ya to die, then he can marry another beautiful concubine and continue to have the support of the Chen family's military power.
But who would have thought that something would go wrong later and lead to the current situation.
Chen Ya, unexpectedly, turned into his stepmother?
Qin Xuanye took a step forward and asked sinisterly:
"After serving me, you now serve my father. Chen Ya, are you a slut?"
