Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

The Empress Dowager looked at Luo Chengjing and said: "Has the Emperor not seen the third prince for a while? The third prince has reached the age to study in the Shang's study, and the Ai family looks at him with a bit of intelligence. I'm afraid Dowager Ming is right. He has high hopes."

When Luo Chengjing heard the Empress Dowager's words, his heart moved first, and then he frowned again. The candidates he suspected were always those concubines in his harem, and he really ignored Ming Dowager.

In his impression, Concubine Ming's personality has always been very indifferent, and she has a kind heart. When he and his mother fell to the bottom of the valley, only Concubine Ming helped them in the whole palace.

Later, in order to allow him to ascend to the throne, Concubine Ming also made a lot of efforts, but after he ascended the throne, Concubine Ming did not ask for anything, even if the mother kept her in the harem for the reason of companionship, she really couldn't refuse Only then reluctantly complied.

Letting the Ming family enter the palace is also decided by the empress mother.

And after the Ming family entered the palace, the Concubine Ming did not help the Ming family much, and never asked her to add officials to the Ming family. It was he who mentioned at the time that he would appoint officials for the Ming family's children. They were also rejected by Concubine Ming's unworthy virtue, which would only cause trouble, so it was better to let them be rich and idle.

Therefore, he never thought that Concubine Ming would have other thoughts because of the third prince.

However, after the Empress Dowager reminded him, he found out that Concubine Ming had indeed made such a move.

"Let's have someone check it out." Luo Chengjing said.

Lian Yongwang was also surprised when he heard that Luo Chengjing asked him to find out the concubine. Lian Yongwang had been by his side when the emperor was still the prince. He knew how much the emperor trusted the concubine Ming.

Moreover, Concubine Ming's personality is indifferent, no matter how much the emperor respects her, she is very polite and low-key, and she never touches things that she shouldn't be involved in.

He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly became suspicious of Concubine Ming.

But the king's heart is unpredictable, since the emperor let him, then he should check it out.

Lian Yongwang didn't expect that his investigation would actually find something.

Concubine Ming saved an old eunuch's life before, and that was before the emperor ascended the throne.

At that time, Emperor Xian was already ill and had a very violent temper. The people who served him were all trembling, for fear that he would accidentally offend Emperor Xian and be dragged out and killed with a stick. Many people tried to hide as much as possible.

The old eunuch was also serving in the Xiandi Palace at that time, but because he was not cunning enough, he was always pushed out to take the blame.

One day, Emperor Xian was in a bad mood, and no one else dared to go in to touch Emperor Xian's misfortune, but when it was time for Emperor Xian to drink medicine, he was pushed out to deliver medicine to Emperor Xian.

It turned out that the temperature of the medicine was a little higher than the medicine that the first emperor usually drank, and it was actually not hot, but the first emperor still lost his temper, and directly ordered the old eunuch to be pulled out and killed with a stick.

It happened that Concubine Ming went and interceded on behalf of the old eunuch, who was expelled from his palace by the late emperor and survived.

The old eunuch had died a few years ago, but the young eunuch next to He Jieyu was the old eunuch's godson.

When the little eunuch was being bullied before, the old eunuch happened to meet him. The old eunuch helped him and adopted him as a godson, protecting him all the time. He had a deep affection for the old eunuch.

The reason why no one connected the little eunuch with Concubine Ming, including He Jieyu, didn't notice anything, and even regarded the little eunuch as his servant, was because this matter had passed for too long, and many people might have thought about it. Don't know about it.

And after that, the old eunuch was not serving Ming Dowager, and everyone probably didn't think that there was still a connection between Ming Dowager and the old eunuch.

When Luo Chengjing heard that the little eunuch was really related to Concubine Ming, he couldn't tell what he felt, maybe it was both disappointment and regret.

If he hadn't entrusted the Third Prince to Concubine Ming, maybe she wouldn't have such thoughts.

However, soon, Luo Chengjing shook his head. It was only a few years before he handed over the third prince to Concubine Ming, but Concubine Ming placed him beside He Jieyu much earlier than that.

And Mi'er.

"Check it out again, don't let go of any clues, and see if there are still people in this palace who are Consort Ming."

If he guessed correctly, Concubine Ming probably planted a lot of people in the harem over the years.

Maybe Ming Dowager didn't want them to do anything when she first installed these people, she just wanted to control the situation in the harem, but with the third prince, her mind changed. If she doesn't find these people now, she might become trouble.

But no matter what, Concubine Ming might never be as indifferent and indisputable as he and his mother thought.

Lian Yongwang responded, and then hurried to investigate.

If you don't check, you don't know, but when you check, you are shocked, except for Ruichang Palace, almost all the palaces have people from Ming Taifei, but there are not many people who serve her personally.

What Lian Yongwang didn't expect the most was that the court lady named Chunlan who was serving the Fifth Prince was also a member of Concubine Ming.

Before the five princes got smallpox, they always thought that Princess Fengqing did it in order to avenge He Jieyu and frame Concubine Shu, but now it seems that the reason why Princess Fengqing was able to do this matter so smoothly should be because Ming Tai The reason why the concubine got involved in the dark.

Luo Chengjing looked at the investigation results that Lian Yongwang handed over, was silent for a while, and then got up and said: "Show Funing Palace."

Concubine Ming was watching the third prince eating cakes with a loving face. After hearing the little eunuch come in to report, the kind smile on Concubine Ming's face changed.

The third prince had already stopped eating snacks, looked at Concubine Ming expectantly and said, "Grandmother, is the emperor here to see me?"

Concubine Ming smiled lovingly again, nodded and said, "Maybe."

While the two were talking, Luo Chengjing had already walked in.

The third prince respectfully saluted Luo Chengjing, Luo Chengjing called out, and after a few words of concern for him, he said to the maid who served him: "Take the third prince down to play, I have something to tell the concubine."

The maid serving the third prince first looked at Concubine Ming when she heard the words, and seeing that Concubine Ming had no objection, she led the reluctant third prince out of the room.

"I just said why the emperor came here today, so it turned out that he came to me for something." Concubine Ming looked at Luo Chengjing, and said in the same tone as before: "I don't know what the emperor wants to tell me?"

Luo Chengjing put the things that Lian Yongwang found in front of Concubine Ming, and said, "Concubine Tai, take a look."

After Concubine Ming saw it, she didn't have any panic expression on her face, but sighed and said: "The emperor has found out."
