Chapter 90 Big talk

Concubine Shu was only three months pregnant, and she still had seven months before she went to the Jokhang Temple. Who knew what would happen in the meantime?

Perhaps because she was afraid of more trouble, Concubine Li Gui moved Concubine Rong, who lived in Changxin Palace, out of the palace and let her live in Jingren Palace. She also moved Concubine Shu, who lived well in Jingren Palace, to her Changxin Palace, under the pretext of taking care of the baby in Concubine Shu's belly.

After all, the child would call her mother after she was born.

In this way, it was also impossible for Emperor Xuanwu to summon Concubine Shu again to comfort her.

Jingren Palace——

Concubine Rong brushed her bare hands across the simple but grand decorations in the palace, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The maid Lian Xuan knelt at the bottom of the hall and said, "Congratulations to the queen for escaping from the control of Li Guifei. After so many years, the queen has finally gotten what she deserves."

"How can it be said that it is finally what she deserves? This is what I deserve. Now I am just trying to take back what belongs to me." What's

the use of having sisters?

When she first entered the palace, Li Guifei arranged for her to be tortured in Changxin Palace. She had begged Shufei several hundred times to let her talk to the Queen Mother and move her to Jingren Palace.

What did Shufei say?

She said, "Yaoyao, the emperor has already had a rift with aunt because of my father and brother. The power of the Pei and Song families in the court is such that even the emperor has to avoid their edge. We were sent to the palace because of our insignificant childhood sweetheart relationship with the emperor. It is great to have a place to stay. Now you let your aunt offend the Pei and Song families for us. Isn't it making the emperor and aunt more disloyal?"

At that time, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her saying "we". She also thought that they should be of the same blood and help each other.

Later, she realized that there was no "we" there. She was the only one who suffered. The emperor was reluctant to let Concubine Shu suffer even a little.

They are sisters, but Concubine Shu is a concubine, while she is only a concubine. Concubine Shu can live alone in the main hall of Jingren Palace, but she has to squeeze into Concubine Li's Changxin Palace and be humiliated and bullied by her.

Concubine Shu can have favors, but if she wants favors, she has to work hard to get some from Concubine Li.

Obviously... with just one word from her, the emperor can arrange her to go to Jingren Palace, but Concubine Shu is unwilling.

When she needs to be used, Concubine Shu does not hesitate or soften her heart. She always tells

her not to empress dowager, but every time Concubine Shu is in trouble, which time does the empress dowager not stand up and protect her firmly?

The empress dowager... the empress dowager always listens to Concubine Shu, and only has Concubine Shu in her heart, so why should she count on the two of them?

Concubine Zhen, she was really surprised!

Late at night -

the emperor lit the lights in Changxin Palace, but he did not go to see Concubine Shu, but went to the main hall to visit Concubine Li Gui.

The lights in Hexi Palace flickered, and when Empress Zhu entered with the fifth prince in her arms, Jiang Xinyue was sewing a pair of tiger-head shoes with needle and thread.

Although the embroidery is not particularly beautiful, the stitches are very dense, and the patterns are chubby, but it is interesting and cute, and it is obvious that she has put a lot of effort into it.

"Why are you still embroidering these so late? You might hurt your eyes if you look too carefully."

"Empress?"

Jiang Xinyue quickly put down the half-embroidered little shoes, stood up and saluted: "Your servant pays homage to the Empress..."

Empress Zhu stretched out a hand to support her: "There is no need to be polite between you and me."

There is no need to be polite if you have a request to her!

Otherwise, Empress Zhu is a person who values ​​​​false courtesy the most.

Jiang Xinyue smiled, ordered Xi Que and Shuangjiang to serve tea, and stretched out her hand to tease the fifth prince who was not asleep yet: "I saw this little guy before, he was wrinkled and not very good-looking. After such a short time, he has grown so cute. It can be seen that the Empress treats the fifth prince very well."

Empress Zhu loved to hear people praise her for being good to this adopted son. She handed the fifth prince to her with a smile: "He sleeps most of the day. The imperial physician said that such a young child should sleep more to grow well. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I don’t dare to wake him up to drink milk."

Jiang Xinyue had never raised a child, and she didn’t know how to respond. In fact, she deliberately didn’t reply, wanting Empress Zhu to say less nonsense greetings and get straight to the point.

She will have another group of people coming here soon!

Queen Zhu probably knew that Jiang Xinyue was young and didn't like to listen to these parenting tips, so she asked the wet nurse to carry the fifth prince down, and after waving away everyone, she said: "Do you know that the guard who held your feet under the water on the day you fell into the water has been found?"

Jiang Xinyue nodded: "I heard from the emperor, but didn't he say there were two? The emperor asked me to identify them tomorrow!"

"Hmm..."

Empress Zhu was silent for a moment, looking at her expression and said: "To be honest, there is one of them, he is my younger brother. He went back to his hometown some time ago, and happened to meet the emperor who was going to hold a martial arts competition, so he couldn't make it back. He rushed back immediately after receiving the summons, but was intercepted on the way and stabbed in the left chest with a golden hairpin. I suspect that someone is trying to take advantage of the situation and put the crime of killing you on my head. Concubine Zhen, do you believe that I have no intention of harming you?"

Not for the time being!

When she was in the cold palace, didn't the Empress replace the laxative that Jiang Yuan put in the cakes with arsenic?

Afterwards, she also started a fire and burned two palace maids in the Xihe Palace to death.

If she guessed correctly, those two maids were the ones who replaced the laxative for Empress Zhu.

Did she dare to speak so brazenly because she thought that there was no evidence?

Jiang Xinyue looked like she knew nothing and said with fear and trepidation: "What are you talking about, Empress? Since I entered the palace, I have remembered your care for me. How could you harm me? I am really sorry that you came all the way here to explain something." Empress

Zhu felt relieved: "Do you know who the other person is?"

Empress Zhu was not very clear-headed tonight. Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "The emperor didn't say, and I don't know either."

"It's Jin Zhaoyi's brother."

Jin Zhaoyi?

What does she have to do with this?

Jiang Xinyue originally thought that the other injured person was either Defei's brother or Li Guifei's cousin!

Could it be that only Li Guifei plotted against the people on Empress Zhu's side, and Empress Zhu didn't fight back?

The doubt on her face was too obvious. Empress Zhu whispered in her ear: "Jin Zhaoyi's father was once a subordinate of Concubine Shu's father. He later reported the Wu family for merit and took over the Wu family's position. But Jin Zhaoyi's brother seems to have promised to marry Concubine Shu."

However, this was all spread privately by gossipers before Concubine Shu entered the palace. No one can tell whether it is true or not.

Empress Zhu does not need to verify the truth. It is better to be unclear. In this way, the emperor and Concubine Zhen will believe it.

Jin Zhaoyi is Concubine Li Gui's person. It would be best to drag Concubine Li Gui into the water.

I believe that the Queen Mother will not miss this opportunity for revenge.
