There was a burst of laughter in the Cining Palace.
Concubine Hui, who had been hiding aside with the Second Prince and dared not say a word, was jealous beyond recognition.
It was obvious that the person my aunt loved the most in the past was her second prince.
But now, the Queen Mother ignored the Second Prince and was holding little Shuangbao, smiling happily.
"The little princess is so innocent and cute."
At this point, Concubine Hui couldn't help but speak. She nudged her son and said, "Yan'er, look, your grandmother has been traveling all the way back to the palace, and she hasn't had a chance to rest. She's been holding the little princess for such a long time, she must be tired. Go and take the little princess down, so that your grandmother can rest for a while."
Concubine Hui said this because she wanted the Second Prince to regain the attention of Queen Mother Jiang.
In addition, he also secretly said that Xiao Shuangbao was ignorant.
It’s a pity that she has this idea, but the second prince doesn’t have the courage.
"No, I don't want it!"
As soon as the second prince saw little Shuangbao, he was so scared that he kept shrinking behind Concubine Hui.
This useless look made Concubine Hui's head hurt!
Her son used to be fearless, but why did he act like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw little Shuangbao?
Concubine Hui's action also made Emperor Chengxuan's face suddenly darken.
"Concubine Hui, I am well aware of my condition."
Before Emperor Chengxuan could say anything, Empress Dowager Jiang spoke first.
She looked at Concubine Hui coldly, "Speaking of which, those who are kind must be rewarded, and those who are guilty must be punished. I didn't understand what happened before, and I have objections to the emperor's decision to punish you.
"But after hearing the whole story, I feel that no matter how severe the punishment the emperor issues to you, it is not excessive."
As soon as she said this, Concubine Hui's face turned pale instantly.
"Empress Dowager!"
Concubine Hui immediately pulled the Second Prince to his knees, tears streaming down her face, "I truly know I was wrong, but I was bewitched by the fake Concubine Dowager and did such a foolish thing!
"If it weren't for the fake concubine's instigation, even if I were given a hundred courage, I would not dare to do this!"
She still used the same rhetoric as before to Emperor Cheng Xuan.
Emperor Chengxuan snorted coldly.
For the sake of Queen Mother Jiang, he didn't say anything at this time.
"Concubine Hui, when the entire Eastern Qi State is in extreme danger, and the Emperor and the country are on the verge of extinction, you are only thinking about your own personal grudges."
Queen Mother Jiang did protect Concubine Hui a lot in the past.
But that was all because of their mutual affection, and Concubine Hui had indeed not made any major mistakes.
However, when it comes to the safety of the Dongqi Kingdom and the life of Emperor Chengxuan, Queen Mother Jiang has her own attitude.
"Emperor, please do as you wish with Concubine Hui. I will never interfere."
Queen Mother Jiang said.
When Concubine Hui heard this, all her hopes were shattered!
She wanted to slap herself in the face!
It was obvious that they didn't notice her at all at the beginning, but she was the one who jumped out and talked more, which made the emperor and the empress dowager pay attention to her again!
She is such a busybody!
wrong!
How could this be her fault!
It's not like she hadn't made mistakes before, but when did the Empress Dowager fail to be tolerant of her?
But this time, just because she mentioned Xiao Shuangbao, the Queen Mother actually stopped protecting her!
It’s all Xiao Shuangbao’s fault!
At this moment, Concubine Hui's hatred for Xiao Shuangbao became even stronger!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I will never do it again! Please, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Concubine Hui had no choice but to plead with Emperor Chengxuan.
But whenever Emperor Chengxuan thought of what Xiao Shuangbao had seen in his dream, how Concubine Hui and the Second Prince had poisoned him and treated Xiao Shuangbao in that way, he felt extremely disgusted with Concubine Hui!
He was about to issue another order, intending to execute Concubine Hui.
"Father, please spare my mother's life."
However, at this moment, a young and weak voice suddenly appeared.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Ninth Prince Jingxi appear.
He was wearing a fox-fur cloak.
As soon as he entered, he first bowed to Queen Mother Jiang: "Grandmother, I am late."
"Xi'er."
As soon as Queen Mother Jiang saw Jing Xi, a trace of pity immediately appeared in her eyes.
She waved towards Jing Xi and said, "Come, sit next to me and let me take a good look at you."
When she said this, little Shuangbao quickly jumped out of her arms, took the initiative to walk to Jingxi, and took him to Queen Mother Jiang with her little hand.
Jing Xi frowned.
Some wanted to see her hand shaken away.
But thinking that he would need her cooperation and help later, he held back.
"Xi'er looks much better than before. Has her condition improved?"
Queen Mother Jiang looked at Jing Xi carefully and said with some surprise.
"Grandmother, the Ninth Prince isn't sick, he's poisoned!"
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao immediately said.
"What? Poisoned? Didn't the doctor say he was ill?"
Queen Mother Jiang looked surprised.
"Yes, that's right! The Ugly Concubine said that the Ninth Prince was poisoned! But fortunately, the Ugly Concubine is an excellent doctor. She said she can detoxify the Ninth Prince!"
Xiao Shuangbao quickly said again.
When Queen Mother Jiang heard the word "ugly concubine", she immediately nodded.
"I know Ling Ge's medical skills. She was the one who saved my life. But, what about Xi'er being poisoned?"
Thinking of this, she immediately turned to look at Concubine Hui and asked sternly, "Concubine Hui, didn't you say that Xi'er was just sick? Why did Ling Ge say he was poisoned?
