Chapter 357
"So, Concubine Mei Xian fell ill after becoming a concubine?" Zhou Xining lowered his eyes, and tapped his fingertips rhythmically on the table.Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone.

In Xuanguo, the imperial concubine could allow relatives to visit the palace on the day she was conferred the title of concubine. Concubine Mei Xian probably fell ill after learning the news of the death of the eldest son Chen at that time. In Yuxiu Palace.

But when did she learn that the fifth prince's biological mother was her half-sister?Was it that day too?or earlier?
Zhou Shining then asked: "Who did Concubine Mei Xian meet that day?"

"Eldest Mrs. Mei, Second Grandma Mei, and Fifth Miss Mei who was born in the second house of the Mei family." Jingying continued: "It is the Fifth Miss Mei who told Concubine Mei Xian the news of the tragic death of Young Master Chen."

Mei's second bedroom!The soldier in charge of the five battalions was born in the second house of the Mei family, and it was also the second house that made the Mei family's business bigger.

"Which family did that Fifth Miss Mei marry?" Zhou Shining raised his eyes and asked Jingying, wanting to confirm a guess that suddenly came to his mind.

Jingying smiled, her wife is really sharp, no matter what happens, she can always catch the point that others easily ignore.

"Eldest Young Master Chen's concubine brother."

Zhou Xining also laughed, somewhat interesting.

"Madam, do you still remember the Chen Gui who was with the Second Prince? That is Miss Mei Wu's husband-in-law."

Chen Gui? !
The corners of Zhou Xining's lips curled up slightly, and he said flatly: "Chen Gui, he's also considered a character. It's just a pity that Ming and An followed the two princes, but none of them stood up to save his life."

Jingying said: "No, the one who died in the Xuanfu Prison was a substitute found by the fifth prince. Chen Gui has now returned to the Chen family in Lingxi."

Zhou Xining pouted, not very surprised by this result.

But she was curious, "Since the Chen family and the Mei family are separated by Mr. Chen's life, how did they get together?"

"We didn't get together." Jingying said: "Chen Guizhi came to Beijing to join the second prince's residence because the fifth prince promised him that he would hand over the Mei family to him.

The reason why the Mei family secretly helped the fifth prince was because Concubine Mei Xian connected with them. "

Zhou Xining secretly sighed, Concubine Mei Xian is also a ruthless person.

"After Concubine Mei Xian recovered from her illness, she secretly approached the fifth prince to tell him her identity, and told him that the purpose of her coming to the palace was to be entrusted by her sister to take care of him.

It was because of Concubine Mei Xian's secret care that the fifth prince was able to survive in the palace. Later, the fifth prince was also the second prince who became close to the second prince under the instruction of Concubine Mei Xian, and used the second prince as his shield. "

Sure enough, none of the women who survived in the palace was simple.

"In a place like the palace, even those with holy favors may not be able to live for a long time. How did Concubine Mei Xian survive?" Zhou Shining asked again.

Xuanguo has a draft every three years, and it doesn't matter what family it is, as long as it is a woman of the right age who comes from a good family, it can sign up for the election.Of course, each prefecture and county has a quota, so the women who are finally sent to the palace to participate in the election are all excellent girls who are excellent in all aspects after being screened by the prefecture and counties.

There are so many women who have tried their best to win the favor, one can imagine what will happen to Concubine Mei Xian after she abandons her favor.

"Concubine Mei Xian voted for Empress Zhang secretly. In the past ten years, the princes who have had accidents in the palace are all related to Concubine Mei Xian. The third prince who lost his face, the sixth prince who was lame, the eighth prince who died young, and the queen who fell into the water The foolish eleventh prince and other princes who had accidents were all done by Concubine Mei Xian at the behest of Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang is to clear the obstacles for His Royal Highness, while Concubine Mei Xian is for the Fifth Prince.Therefore, the asylum conditions proposed by Empress Zhang were a perfect match for Concubine Mei Xian.

If it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still somewhat benevolent, there should be a few more princes who died young in the palace. "

No wonder there are only a few of the emperor's princes who are healthy and adult. It turns out that all the accidents are man-made disasters.

Zhou Xining clicked his tongue, the life of the current emperor is really a failure, a failure.As a king, he was constrained by his courtiers, as a husband, his wife and concubines murdered his children, and as a father, he was plotted against by his own son several times.

Concubine Mei Xian, who everyone sees that everything is not disputed and only eats fast and chant Buddha in her own palace, has so much blood on her hands, and there are many innocent young children among them, she is really worthy of her title of virtuous!
And Empress Zhang, who ascended to the throne by stepping on the bones of countless people, is not a kind person.

Concubine Mei Xian had to be removed, and Empress Zhang couldn't let her become the empress dowager safely.But in the past few years, Empress Zhang has hidden her minions too well. There is no conclusive evidence.

"Don't worry about Concubine Mei Xian. The day when the Fifth Prince dies is when she dies. You should pay more attention to Empress Zhang. The evidence about her murder of the prince and the evidence of her collusion with the traitors in the court, it is best to collect some Zhang family Evidence of collusion."

The first half of the sentence was fine, but for the latter, every time Zhou Xining uttered a sentence, the corners of Jingying's mouth twitched. Hearing what his wife meant, was it to make him create some evidence even if he had no evidence?
However, since the seventh prince born by Empress Zhang became the heir apparent, the Zhang family couldn't keep it, especially the scheming Empress Zhang in the palace.Otherwise, Yu Xuanguo and Yu He's family will be harmful instead of beneficial.

Zhou Xining stared at Jingying firmly, with a calm face and deep eyes.

"The subordinates will do their best." Jingying bowed and saluted.

Zhou Xining looked at Jingying with a smile and said: "Jingying, the Zhang family is the current emperor's wife family and the future new king's mother family, so the Zhang family can only be submerged in the king's hands and under the laws of the country. And that Empress Zhang can't make any mistakes before and after her life, do you understand what I mean?"

Courtiers can't intervene in the royal family's affairs, and they can't be contaminated, but what should be done must be done, and those who need to be cleaned up must also be cleaned up.

Jingying understood Zhou Xining's meaning, and he couldn't help but solemnly nodded his head and said: "This subordinate understands, Madam, don't worry."

Looking at the solemnity and seriousness in Jingying's eyes, Zhou Xining knew that he really understood.

"Didn't the fifth prince ever think of using two lives to force the He family into a dead end? Then if I use Concubine Mei Xian's life to repay him for a round, it shouldn't be too much?" Zhou Shining's eyes suddenly turned. As soon as it changed, the corners of the lips also turned up slightly.

"How much evidence do you have that Empress Zhang colluded with Concubine Mei Xian to secretly murder those princes?" Zhou Shining said, "Well, it doesn't really need too much, as long as there are one or two conclusive evidences, and the rest as long as they are facts. enough."

As long as there is conclusive evidence to prove that they murdered a certain prince, as long as the other princes have indeed been persecuted by them, it is not necessary for all of them to have evidence.
