Chapter 472: All have grudges
The curling white smoke drifted into the inner room along the screen, and the faint floral fragrance lingered on the nose, washing away the fatigue of the whole day for those who smelled it.
Concubine Shu half leaned on the noble concubine couch, and a palace maid presented the peeled fruit to her. Mu Tan sat beside the couch and massaged her legs for her: "Your Majesty, in Kunning Palace, white phosphorus powder was found in Shuangjiang's room."
Concubine Shu didn't even move her eyes: "The Queen Mother will not believe it."
Shuangjiang is also a veteran who has followed the Queen Mother. She is loyal and hardworking. How could she be a spy of the Jin Kingdom?
The Queen Mother is not a fool. What does this person who framed Shuangjiang want?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liang is here."
Concubine Shu had just sat up from the couch, and before the palace maids left, Concubine Liang rushed in: "There's a sudden strong wind outside, you'd better be comfortable here."
Concubine Shu caught a cold in the cold palace in her early years, and her body was not very good, so Jiang Xinyue gave her Jingren Palace.
This palace was originally built by the emperor for his "white moonlight" cousin. Whether it is the geographical location or the comfort of the palace, it is one of the best.
Warm in winter and cool in summer.
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "You are not feeling well. It's not winter yet! How will you survive when it gets really cold?"
Concubine Liang curled her lips indifferently, "You sound like you are in good health. Didn't you also get hurt in the cold palace? Didn't the bowl of arsenic from the late emperor cost you half your life?"
That's why Concubine Shu hated the late emperor so much after she left the cold palace. She would rather join forces with Jiang Xinyue to bring down the late emperor.
The emperor only has Jiang Xinyue in his heart. Who cares about their life or death?
When Jiang Xinyue was poisoned by arsenic, the emperor was extremely anxious. He interrogated the murderer, found a royal doctor for her, and took her out of the cold palace. He didn't want her to suffer in there.
In the same situation, Concubine Shu was poisoned and banished to the cold palace. No one in the palace dared to invite a doctor for her, so she vomited blood every day and survived.
Later, Jiang Xinyue was released from the cold palace, and Concubine Shu also relied on the utensils left by Jiang Xinyue in the cold palace to survive.
But there was nothing in the cold palace, lack of food and clothing, hunger and cold, and sometimes she was bullied by mean palace maids, who ordered her to wash clothes in the middle of winter and do such rough work that hurt her body.
After spending a year in there like this, how could a young lady like her who was used to being spoiled bear it? It
was a blessing that she didn't die in there.
It's really sad to talk about it.
Concubine Shu suddenly laughed: "No wonder the emperor suspected us. Looking back, we have a grudge against the Queen Mother."
Concubine Liang plotted against the Queen Mother many times. Although she failed every time, she was also very vicious.
Of course, after the Queen Mother retaliated, Concubine Liang suffered even more. Otherwise, she would not have struggled for more than ten years and returned as Concubine Liang.
If she was on good terms with the Queen Mother on the surface, it is possible that she hated her and hurt her children in private. As for Concubine Shu, it was the arsenic poisoning and the cold palace. Oh! By the way!
There is also Noble Lady Ye! When Noble Lady Ye entered the palace earlier, she wanted to seduce the emperor to favor her, but the emperor ignored her and beat her half to death as if she were an assassin. She hated the Queen Mother at that time. I can only say that Noble Ye is so stupid. Why seduce the emperor ? She could just seduce the Empress and alienate the relationship between the Empress and the emperor. How much better it would be to kidnap the Empress. So, in the eyes of the emperor, can these things really be downplayed and forgotten? "Sister Shufei! Sister Shufei!" Say Noble Ye, and Noble Ye will arrive. She rushed in like a gust of wind, holding the kettle and started to drink. After finishing the pot of warm tea, she wiped her wet lips: "I just went to Shun'an Palace. The palace maids in Shun'an Palace said that Sister Liang Fei came to Jingren Palace, so I ran all the way here." "Why are you in such a hurry?" Liang Fei patted her back: "You caught a cold and your stomach must be cold." Noblewoman Ye is about the same age as the eldest princess, and Liang Fei still loves her very much. "It's okay, it's okay!" Lady Ye laughed foolishly twice, and then said: "I just heard someone in the palace talking about the Kunning Palace. They said that white phosphorus powder was found in Shuangjiang's room, so I came to find you two sisters right away." She came to them just to hear their opinions. "Pfft!" Concubine Liang laughed out loud after hearing this: "What's wrong with this guy? Framed Shuangjiang? It would be more reliable for him to frame a few of us! Shuangjiang has been serving the Queen Mother since she entered the palace. How many ups and downs have they experienced together? Let me say something that I don't even like to hear myself. Shuangjiang means more to the Queen Mother than all of us combined." "Tsk!" Concubine Shu glanced at her unhappily: "You are you, I am me, and I think I am also very important in the Queen Mother's heart." Isn't... isn't it the time to argue about who is the most important in the Queen Mother's heart? Shouldn't we discuss why the murderer framed someone who everyone thinks is impossible? Why? Jiang Xinyue was also wondering, why? It was dark at night. The emperor put his arm around Jiang Xinyue's waist from behind: "Don't think about it. Anyway, during this period of time, before I find the spy, you should meet less with Concubine Liang and the others. Even if they are not suspicious, I will still suspect the people serving them. I will send more people to Kunning Palace to protect you and the child, so don't worry too much." Jiang Xinyue would not refuse the emperor's kindness. The people he sent were definitely masters. Even if there were a hundred or eighty of them, Jiang Xinyue would not think it was too much. Both her life and the child's life were very precious, and she cherished her life very much. She nodded, but still couldn't help asking the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you are the murderer..." "Hiss-" He killed his own child? The emperor didn't want to hear a word of this if, and his heart ached. "I'm talking about if!"
Jiang Xinyue said coquettishly: "I seem to have some ideas in my mind, but it's very confusing. Your Majesty, you are so powerful, please help me sort it out!"
"You talk, I'm listening..."
Okay, okay!
He is a beast, he killed his own child.
"If you are the murderer, why do you want to frame someone who is absolutely impossible to be suspected as the murderer? It is impossible that you picked it randomly to get rid of the white phosphorus powder?"
It was too coincidental that it happened to be Frost.
The emperor was silent for a moment before speaking: "If it were me, I would never pick it randomly. I must have kept some tricks that you can't think of."
"In other words, she might need to use Frost in the future?"
If it was the work of the Jin Kingdom, they should not wait too long to take action.
Jiang Xinyue muttered: "That is to say, from now on, as long as I secretly send people to pay more attention to Shuangjiang, the murderer will come into contact with Shuangjiang sooner or later, right?"
"You can understand it that way."
The emperor rubbed her neck: "It's very late, go to bed quickly!"
