The late mother of the seventh daughter-in-law?
Emperor Jingming couldn't even identify the names of his own daughters, so it was natural that he had no idea who Jiang Si's mother was.
He couldn't help but look at the queen.
The Empress remembered this clearly and reminded him, "Your Majesty, the mother of Princess Yan was born in the Marquis Yining's Mansion."
Almost immediately she thought of the past between Su and Princess Rongyang.
At this moment, the queen was struggling fiercely in her heart.
Mentioning the feud between Su and Princess Rongyang to the Emperor would undoubtedly offend Princess Rongyang and even the Queen Mother, but this would win the favor of Princess Yan.
She is the queen, the mother of a country. Originally, she didn't need to consider whether Princess Yan had a good impression of her. However, after witnessing Jiang Si's many methods, she could no longer look at it with common sense.
Jiang Si was able to cure Fuqing's eyes, and now he has saved the Queen Mother. Who knows if he will be useful in the future?
There is a difference between doing something perfunctorily and doing it sincerely.
Besides, she was grateful just because Princess Yan cured Fuqing's eyes.
The queen hesitated for a moment before making a decision. She said softly to Emperor Jingming, "Your Majesty, you should remember that Su Shi had an engagement with Cui Xu, the husband of Princess Rongyang..."
Emperor Jingming's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned darker.
Su and Princess Rongyang have a grudge, and Aunt Duo entered the palace because of Princess Rongyang's relationship...
After taking one look at the empress and then at Jiang Si, who had a calm expression, Emperor Jingming's heart sank.
Now the seventh daughter-in-law is suspicious about the cause of Su's death. Could it be that Su's death is related to Rongyang?
Emperor Jingming thought about it for a moment and felt a chill run down his spine.
He looked at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si looked at him calmly, his eyes were clear and his expression was firm.
"Empress, you and the seventh prince's wife can rest here for a while. I will ask Pan Hai to ask them now." Emperor Jingming said, looked at Jiang Si again, and walked out with a sullen face.
Only Jiang Si and the Queen were left in the room.
Jiang Si knelt slightly and said, "Thank you, mother."
Thank you, she didn't say.
The Queen did not mention it either, and sighed, "Princess Yan, you are so brave. The Emperor is worried about Nanny Duo's mischief right now. Aren't you afraid that it will upset the Emperor if you mention something else now?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "My father once said that merits should be rewarded and faults should be punished. In my mind, my father is a man who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. He will certainly not be annoyed by my small request."
Opportunities are fleeting, and if she fails to seize the opportunity because of cowardice, then how can she avenge her mother?
The queen smiled.
She worried in vain; Princess Yan was truly a smart person.
Such a smart man is naturally worthy of her kindness.
Jiang Si was also feeling emotional at this moment.
In her previous life, she had always kept a low profile, not to mention getting help from the Queen. The Queen never even glanced at her and treated her no differently than other princesses.
Since the Queen had the same attitude towards all the princesses, Jiang Si did not realize the Queen's power.
If there is no affection between people, the main way to make people close to each other is through interests or character. She showed her value worthy of the queen's attention, so she was treated differently by the queen, which was understandable.
On the other side, Emperor Jingming walked into the room to interrogate Nanny Duo again, which surprised Pan Hai.
"Your Majesty, haven't you rested yet?"
Pressing his throbbing eyelids, Emperor Jingming said unhappily, "No more rest."
Pan Hai remained silent.
He couldn't pry Nanny Duo's mouth, but he understood very well how the emperor felt at the moment.
Emperor Jingming rolled his eyes at Pan Hai and thought to himself, you know nothing! I am in an even worse mood now, because not only can I not pry Nanny Duo's mouth open, but Princess Rongyang is getting more and more involved!
Emperor Jingming rubbed his temples and said tiredly, "Go ask Aunt Duo whether the poisonous insect she gave to Princess Fourteen has been given to other people..."
Pan Hai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He quickly replied "yes" and walked inside.
At this moment, Aunt Duo was already dying, and there was no part of her body that was intact.
Seeing Pan Hai coming in, she closed her eyes with difficulty, her tone still cold and hard: "I advise you to give up. No matter what the punishment is, I will not open my mouth."
Before heading to the Great Zhou, she even endured the pain of being entangled by thousands of snakes in order to hone her endurance, just to be able to keep the secret if her whereabouts were exposed.
She just felt sorry that the Heart-Eating Dragon was suppressed, so she couldn't avoid dying in pain.
"This time, let me ask a different question."
Aunt Duo sneered and ignored Pan Hai.
Pan Hai twitched his lips helplessly and asked without much hope: "Have you ever given the poisonous insect you gave to the Fourteenth Princess to anyone else in these years?"
Aunt Duo was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she unexpectedly laughed.
After coming to the Great Zhou for so many years, every time she used the insect, it was not without purpose. The first time she sent out the Heart Sealing Insect was to use the relationship of Princess Rongyang to enter the palace smoothly.
Now Pan Hai asked this question, which means that the emperor suspected that Princess Rongyang used the Heart-sealing Dragon to harm people...
Aunt Duo would rather die than say a word about the secret mission, but she had no intention of keeping the secret for Princess Rongyang.
Princess Rongyang has a deep mother-daughter relationship with the Empress Dowager, and a deep brother-sister relationship with the Emperor. She is looking forward to what the Emperor will do after knowing that Princess Rongyang used insects to harm people.
If Princess Rongyang caused a rift between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, then she played her last role before her death.
"What are you laughing at?" Pan Hai was inexplicably surprised.
"Besides the Fourteenth Princess, I did give two of these poisonous insects to another person."
"Who is it?" Emperor Jingming and Pan Hai asked in unison.
Seeing Emperor Jingming appear again, Nanny Duo felt even more proud and spoke word by word: "Princess Rongyang."
After she finished speaking, she laughed: "If I don't give Princess Rongyang some benefits, how can she help me enter the palace? Your Majesty, don't you think this is the truth?"
Emperor Jingming only heard a loud bang, and his anger exploded in his heart, making him grit his teeth.
He had a premonition about this, but deep down he hoped that he was just overthinking it.
But Rong Yang never let him down!
"What does Princess Rongyang want to do with the poisonous insect?" Emperor Jingming asked angrily.
Seeing the sullen expression on Emperor Jingming's face, Nanny Duo felt relieved: "Of course the Heart-sealing Dragon was used to harm people. Your Majesty knows that people who are infected with the Heart-sealing Dragon will show symptoms of heart failure and eventually die of heart failure. As for who Princess Rongyang used the dragon worm to harm, I have already entered the palace, so I didn't ask."
Emperor Jingming could no longer bear to listen and left in anger.
Aunt Duo didn't know, but he knew that Rongyang had used the poisonous insect to harm the mother of the seventh son's wife fifteen years ago!
In other words, Rongyang knew about Madam Duo's ability fifteen years ago. But she sent Madam Duo to the palace for her own selfish reasons, and even sent her to the Empress Dowager's side.
What a beautiful Rong Yang! Besides the love between her and Cui Xu, is there also the mother-daughter relationship in her heart?
"Pan Hai——"
Pan Hai, who had been chasing after him out of concern, hurriedly said, "The servant is here."
"Summon Princess Rongyang to the palace immediately!"
