Chapter 70 What's going on?

In fact, it is not a bad thing for Jiang Xinyue that Empress Zhu suddenly adopts a prince.

Anyway, she has never thought about becoming an empress, and there is no conflict of interest with Empress Zhu.

On the contrary, if she helps Empress Zhu to successfully adopt the fifth prince, Empress Zhu will let down her guard against her.

"Um..."

She did it as soon as she said it. She covered her forehead, slowly propped up her body with her elbows, and made a lot of noise: "Your Majesty? Empress... Madam? What's wrong with me? Cough cough cough..."

Empress Zhu wiped her tears and stood up from the ground. Jiang Xinyue also pretended to know nothing, looking at Empress Zhu with her eyes wide open: "The Emperor... Empress Madam... have... given birth to a little prince?"

She couldn't believe it. , rubbed her eyes, and found that the baby in Empress Zhu's arms had not disappeared. She turned her head stiffly and looked at Emperor Xuanwu: "Your Majesty... I couldn't have been in a coma for ten months, right?"

Emperor Xuanwu was amused by her: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the fifth prince born to Lan Cainu of Yanxi Palace. Unfortunately, Lan Cainu was unlucky and died after giving birth to him. The Empress is asking me where the child is. What do you think?" Empress

Zhu looked at her nervously.

"I... How can I understand these? I just think that I should choose someone who truly loves him and raises him as his own son, and don't hurt his mother!"

Empress Zhu lost her children one after another, and she might not have children in the future. If she adopts the fifth prince, she will only transfer her feelings for the first and second princes to the fifth prince, and she will be a very good mother.

Concubine Zhen had a pure heart and didn't care about the twists and turns of the harem struggles. She always spoke from the child's perspective and for the child's good.

Emperor Xuanwu thought of himself because of her words. When it comes to raising children, sometimes a biological mother may not be better than an adoptive mother.

He raised his hand and touched Jiang Xinyue's soft head: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Zhen's idea to raise the fifth prince in the Yikun Palace. Did you discuss it long ago?"

Empress Zhu immediately knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, I only found out two days ago that Lan Cainu was pregnant and was about to give birth."

Jiang Xinyue was still unconscious two days ago, how could she discuss it?

"Wa-oo-oo-oo..."

The little guy in Empress Zhu's arms suddenly started crying, and Empress Zhu, who was holding him, was still kneeling on the ground. She could only rock the little guy, trying to comfort him. She

was still making "oh-oh-oh" sounds to coax him, and it was obvious that

she was an experienced person in taking care of people. Jiang Xinyue quickly grabbed Emperor Xuanwu's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know about this little baby before. I just felt that the way the Empress looked at the Fifth Prince was the same as the way my aunt looked at me. Your Majesty, you must love this child very much!"

Because her aunt loved her very much too.

However, Emperor Xuanwu did not wake up the Empress so quickly. Instead, he smiled at Jiang Xinyue and said, "Your aunt has been promoted to a co-wife by Jiang Honglu. Don't you know?"

How could he not know?

My stepfather had already written a letter and asked my father-in-law to bring it in after he went out to buy it.

But Emperor Xuanwu didn't like the concubines who entered the palace to contact their families, so Jiang Xinyue pretended not to know.

"Ah?"

She widened her eyes again in surprise: "Jiang... Who is Honglu?"

Her silly reaction pleased Emperor Xuanwu, who pinched her nose affectionately and said: "I have promoted your father to be the Minister of Honglu Temple. Maybe he thought you contributed to this matter, so he promoted your mother to be his concubine." Jiang

Xinyue's eyes reddened, she sniffed, and said coquettishly in a tut-tut voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but Your Majesty must tell my father that he can become the Minister of Honglu Temple, and I didn't say a word for him. It was he who met Your Majesty, his mentor. He should thank Your Majesty if he wants to thank anyone." Just kidding, he

almost put her in the category of harem meddling in government affairs, okay?

"Ahem..."

Emperor Xuanwu coughed a few times to tease her, and cleared his throat: "In that case, Queen, take the fifth prince back to Yikun Palace to raise him! I have difficulty with my offspring, so let the people below be careful."

"Yes, I will tell them."

Before leaving, Empress Zhu looked at Jiang Xinyue gratefully.

"She's gone."

Emperor Xuanwu held her in his arms and patted her back in fear, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or Jiang Xinyue.

His deep voice was a little hoarse: "Tell me! What happened?"

"I don't think it was Concubine Shu..."

At that time, Shuangjiang sprained her foot, and Xi Que helped her back to Huixi Palace, and the woman who claimed to be a maid of Jingren Palace took her to Jingren Palace for raising.

There is a vermilion wooden bridge on the artificial lake. To get to Jingren Palace, you have to cross the bridge.

Jiang Xinyue can swim, so she didn't pay much attention to safety. Who knew that because of such negligence, the palace maid slapped her on the back and pushed her under.

And very quickly, someone grabbed her ankle under the water. Although the eunuch who went down to investigate said that it was a knot in the water plants, Jiang Xinyue grew up by the sea and was very good at swimming. She could hold her breath in the water for three minutes.

The one covering his face with a mask was a guard, tall and dozens of times stronger than her.

She could only play dead and trick the guard into letting go. When he was not paying attention and tried to feel her pulse, she suddenly opened her eyes and inserted the gold hairpin in her hand into his chest.

She used all her strength. If it weren't for the great resistance at the bottom of the water, the hairpin would have only penetrated half of his chest, and no matter how strong the guards were, they would not have been able to escape.

"If it was really the Concubine Shu, how could she use people from her own palace to call me? It's nothing more than someone trying to frame the Concubine Shu. The one who harmed me was definitely not the Concubine Shu."

Emperor Xuanwu breathed a sigh of relief. If Concubine Zhen ignored it and insisted on punishing Concubine Shu, he would be in trouble.

The Wu family is gone, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Rong stay in the palace as mascots,

and they also have an explanation to the Empress Dowager. Now that she is pregnant, she can't do anything.

Fortunately, Concubine Zhen is a sensible person. Whether in terms of appearance or personality, she is completely in line with his wishes.

"I have asked Wang Dequan to find the palace maid and guard you mentioned."

Emperor Xuanwu rested his chin on Jiang Xinyue's head: "But I advise you not to hold too much hope. After doing such a thing, the other party must have cleaned up the mess long ago."

The little palace maid is either dead or hidden. It is not easy to find her.

As for the guard...

The eunuchs who could work in the palace all had great backgrounds. Those without family backgrounds had backgrounds, and those without backgrounds had connections, so it was very difficult to search them.

But Zhenpin's watery eyes were full of grievances, and she looked at him with admiration: "No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than the emperor? I believe that the emperor will definitely catch the bad guys who harmed the concubines in the harem."

She clenched her fists, looking eager to try: "Then I will let the bad guys taste the taste of my fists."

In an instant, her pale face became lively again.
