Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 71 Leave
Concubine Cheng

She is His Majesty's favorite concubine, and in the harem where the empress is vacant, she is in charge of the Phoenix seal, and her status is equivalent to that of the deputy empress.

At the same time, she is also the biological mother of the prince and Princess Anle.

The little Taoist's eyes changed, and his voice trembled slightly: "Your Highness, be careful... Concubine Cheng, after all, it is..."

"Is it my biological mother?" Jiang Sile asked calmly.

"Just because she is my biological mother, is it because I am her own daughter that she won't send someone to kill me?"

Jiang Sile suddenly remembered something just now, she and this concubine Cheng seemed to have never met alone.

Even on the eve of the wedding when Jiang Sile was about to leave the palace, not once.

This is not at all like the cold-faced and warm-hearted mother in Princess Anle's memory...

But this point was quietly submerged in the major events that happened some time ago. It wasn't until just now, when Jiang Sile thought about it repeatedly, that he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered it.

No matter where this matter is, it reveals that something is wrong.

The more Jiang Sile thought about it, the more frightened she became.Countless details that had been ignored by her, just like the hazy fog dissipated, and everything was clearly displayed in front of her.

Hongyu, the Hongyu who was demoted by Jiang Sile at the beginning - she was the one who became a noble concubine.It is also because of this that the original Princess Anle trusted Hongyu in every possible way.

Afterwards, a series of things about the marriage came, which made Jiang Sile at that time completely indifferent to think carefully, and did not pay any attention to Hongyu's whereabouts.

Thinking back now, Jiang Sile couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Concubine Cheng learned from Hongyu that Jiang Sile seemed to be a different person.This change, Luzhi, the former maid of honor, is not clear, and perhaps Cheng Guifei, who has a temper with Princess Anle, is also not clear.

But it's impossible for her not to know Hongyu, who has been with Princess Anle for five or six years and has served her personally every day.It's just a momentary impulse and being deceived, but she will eventually notice it one day.

Jiang Sile once again thought of the most important clue, the tongue-biting court lady.

The person who assassinated this court lady was the eunuch in Concubine Cheng's palace.

When Fu Sheng came to Bailu Hall and told her what happened that night, he obviously meant that someone had bribed Eunuch Hu An and instructed him to kill him to silence him.

No one would think about Concubine Cheng.

After all... the one who fought against that assassin and was almost injured was none other than Concubine Cheng's darling son, Prince Jiang Yi.

Now Jiang Sile thinks back, but only feels full of doubts.

Who can buy off the principal father-in-law in the imperial concubine's palace?
You know, Concubine Cheng has been in charge of Fengyin for many years, and even the staff in her own palace can be so dirty that they can be bought by others?

There was also that father-in-law, and there was no news after that.The tongue-biting court lady also disappeared without a trace, but there are not many people who can do this in the palace.

The old emperor and concubine Cheng can also be counted as the biological mother of King Wen, the concubine Jin who was once loved by the old emperor.

Look at the motive for assassinating Jiang Sile

Jiang Sile naturally knew that the old emperor already hated her to death, but didn't he work so hard before to let Jiang Sile go to Qingyi?

If this is really going to kill her, why bother to do it in Suizhou?
Secondly, it is impossible for the imperial concubine Jin.Because...the inside line she placed next to Jiang Sile was Luzhi, and Luzhi hadn't received orders from King Wen and Concubine Jin for a long time.

Even if she didn't attack Lu Zhi, Concubine Jin would have no reason to kill Jiang Sile.

Jiang Sile is not the prince, so killing her will not do any good for King Wen's road to succession.Why did they make trouble out of nowhere and do such thankless things?
The only thing left is to become a noble concubine.

No matter who the master behind the tongue-biting maid was, Jiang Sile can now conclude that the one who sent the killer this time is her good mother.

The little Taoist priest on the side frowned, wondering: "Then what's the motive? Why did the empress kill you?"

Jiang Sile smiled coldly, and said, "Maybe...she has long since discovered that I am not her own daughter."

The little Taoist priest sitting beside him hesitated to speak, thinking: The nobles in the palace are really chaotic.No wonder there are strange stories circulating in the countryside.

Thinking about it, the little Taoist was too embarrassed to open his mouth again and asked about this royal secret.

Jiang Sile glanced at him, and knew that the little Taoist priest had misunderstood, thinking that, like in the storytelling drama, she meant that she was not the real concubine Cheng.

But she didn't explain it, just let it go wrong.

"Then how does His Highness plan to deal with it?" the little Taoist asked softly, poking his head out.

Jiang Sile's heart sank, now this matter, although Jiang Sile has already made up his mind, it's still more appropriate to test it out.

Thinking about it, Jiang Sile raised his pen and wrote a letter, which was sent to the capital quickly.

……

Suizhou City

Before leaving, Jiang Sile deliberately let the accompanying caravan stay here, and only brought the wine merchant who went to Chengzhou on the same road.

When Li Yancheng saw Lord Luo, he was quite warm and hospitable, and in the end he was even more reluctant to let Jiang Sile and his party leave.

When he took people to buy dry food and grain in Suizhou, he heard that the princess was very sympathetic to the people of Suizhou.

The situation in Suizhou was indeed difficult, and the imperial court wanted to help, but they could only exempt the tax for that year.

The princess has reported this matter to the imperial court, and I believe that the imperial court will have news in the near future.

The immigration law can solve Suizhou's problem, but now this law has existed in name only.

In this matter, the princess also analyzed the pros and cons with Lord Luo, and jointly wrote a memorial to the emperor to re-implement the emigration law in various places.

Although Li Yancheng knew that the possibility of the court agreeing to this matter was not high, it did not affect his support for Princess Anle.

Li Yancheng gently pulled the rein to make the horse go slower.Just behind the mission, the people of Suizhou learned of Princess Anle's kindness and sent them ten miles away.

There were guards who carefully blocked and drove them away, but they just didn't leave.

Now that he was walking on the road ahead, he could vaguely hear the cries of the people behind him, very sad.

This time they were not crying for themselves, but the princess.

The old woman's hair was already grey, her legs and feet could no longer move, but her eyes were still staring at the front.

A few days ago, everyone said that the princess was coming to New Year's Eve.This princess is a good person. She killed corrupt officials, pleaded for justice for the common people, and returned all the land occupied by the relatives of the county magistrate to those suffering people.

Others said that this princess was a fairy who came down to earth to save them from suffering.

At that time, they only listened to something strange and something new.

Mr. Luo of Suizhou is a good official, and they have lived a more stable life these years, and dare not ask for anything extravagantly.

I just think, this Master Luo lives longer, and if it lasts longer, we Suizhou people will have a stable life.
