Concubine, she rises step by step

Shoukang Palace.

The empress dowager, who had been slapped twice by the emperor, felt that her relationship with her eldest son had reached a freezing point.

In fact, she was also full of unwillingness and displeasure.

At first, she thought that Shengyi was a troublesome woman, so she killed her as soon as she killed her. Taking advantage of the selfishness of De Wang Angqin, she killed her and settled the matter. Welcome her back to the palace through the Zhonghua Gate.

From this moment on, the Queen Mother felt that this kind gesture was an eyesore.

However, there is another sentence, people's hearts are fleshy, and her actions in the palace are really not selfish. It is really not a moment of luck to straighten out the Xinzheku and Lenggong in the harem. The wholehearted effort to save Zhang Yazhi really touched the queen mother, she thought she might as well let her go, but who would have thought that the emperor would risk his life to find her in the earthquake area, isn't this the greatest joke in the world?How can an emperor disregard the world for the sake of women, what is it if he is not a faint king?Even though she felt a little regretful, she couldn't risk Dajin's national fortune.

But at this moment, the Queen Mother became hoarse.

Pei Ji knelt in the hall and told her that the two nobles were unable to have children because of her forceful arrest of the emperor.

The queen mother flicked the beads, her mind froze, what's going on.

"Are they sure they can't have children anymore?" The queen mother asked again, fearing that she might be deaf.

Pei Ji nodded heavily.

The empress dowager immediately lost face, it was over, the elder son couldn't forgive her, he was finally willing to accept a few women into the palace, and then became pregnant by coercion and temptation, who knows, he gave birth to an elder brother and died, and the rest The birth went smoothly, but they are all princesses. She was still counting on Tong Zining and Zhang Yazhi to give birth to a few elder brothers, which is good, and her body collapsed...

The more she thought about it, the more frightened the Queen Mother became.If things go on like this, the big gold world will be passed on to the elder brother. It's not that she is partial, but who made the elder brother's biological mother be a Gouli woman? As for feelings, the empress can't do it anymore. How can the Suo family expect a four-year-old child? If he becomes the emperor one day, if he has selfish intentions for Gou Li, let alone Suo Shi, isn't Da Jin in danger?

It's impossible to stop, the Queen Mother's heart is as anxious as a hundred claws scratching her heart!

"Queen Mother, I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not." Pei Ji seemed to hesitate to speak.

The Empress Dowager was worrying, and said anxiously: "This is the situation now, what else does it matter, let's talk."

Pei Ji looked at the Empress Dowager's face, and said suspiciously: "I feel that there is something wrong with the situation of the two nobles."

The queen mother looked at Pei Ji with a "shua", and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Pei Ji glanced at both sides.

The queen mother understood, and raised her voice: "You all go out!"

Only then did Pei Ji reply: "I feel that the two noble masters are bleeding after giving birth, and it may not be simply the fault of being exposed to the rain."

The Empress Dowager was about to blow up immediately, and said in a steep voice, "You mean someone is using this to blame Ai's family?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was getting emotional, Aunt Mei Fen quickly comforted her: "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what Doctor Pei has to say."

"Say!!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to see who was so blind and dared to disturb Tai Sui!

"I feel that the two nobles may have been murdered by others, and the method is to make incense." Pei Ji said concisely.

The Queen Mother slapped her palm on the table with a "Pah!" and said angrily: "What a rebellion! The Ai family wants to see who it is!"

Qi to Qi, if this is to be investigated, there must be evidence or doubts. Although the Queen Mother has a bad temper, her mind is still clear, "Can you be sure?"

Pei Ji bowed his head, "I dare not deceive the Queen Mother."

"Then why has no one from the Imperial Hospital reported this matter?" the Queen Mother asked in surprise.

Pei Ji looked at the queen mother with complicated expressions.

Immediately, the queen mother understood, "But there are imperial doctors involved?"

Pei Ji shook his head, "I don't know."

The Queen Mother didn't believe it. She couldn't take this infamy on herself. In that case, she would be scolded to death. Furthermore, if the name was not cleared up, the relationship between her and her eldest son would never be repaired.

This matter not only needs to be investigated, but it needs to be investigated thoroughly!

"Meifen, go and report to the Ming Emperor that the two nobles were harmed after childbirth, resulting in physical damage. The Ai family is deeply saddened and will personally supervise the matter and seek justice for the two nobles!" The Queen Mother said solemnly! ordered Mei Fen.

Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help admiring the emperor, and even more admiration for Concubine Sheng, she actually figured out the thoughts of the emperor and the queen mother, Gao!It’s really high!
Huo Jiheng pushed the boat along the way, first he made a big fuss, saying that the imperial hospital did not give enough treatment, and then sent Li Qing to Shoukang Palace, saying that the matter was entirely up to the queen mother.

The empress dowager was relieved with tears in her eyes, feeling that the eldest son had not forgotten himself, and she became more determined to thoroughly investigate this matter.

The first step was to summon the imperial physician Chu Jing, who was in charge of the two noblemen of the imperial hospital.

"Tell Aijia, who told you to tamper with the medical records?" The queen mother was furious, she believed in Chu Jing so much, she never thought that he was the one who stabbed the knife in the back.

Chu Jing kept kowtowing until his head was broken. He said that he was old and was too weak to diagnose and treat him.

If you ask again, you will still plead guilty and kowtow.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she waved her hand and asked the Division of Punishment to deal with it.

"Queen Mother, it seems that Chu Jing is not telling the truth." Mei Fen sighed.

The Empress Dowager raised her forehead, feeling very worried, "How can the Ai family not see it, but if he bites him to death, it only shows that this person cannot afford to offend him!"

Not long after, the Shenxing Secretary came privately to report Chu Jing and committed suicide by biting his tongue.

……

The Empress Dowager sat slumped, this——

At this moment, someone came to report: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Sheng is asking to see you."

"Concubine Sheng?" The Empress Dowager eased her thoughts, what is her intention in coming to find herself at this time?

However, after thinking about it, she understood that when the two nobles had an accident, she was trapped outside and couldn't participate in the matter, so she didn't have to worry too much about it.

"Let her in."

Shengyi is dressed in plain clothes, with a simple headband, "The concubine sees the queen mother."

"Why did this come here? What's the matter?" The queen mother didn't like her, and she didn't speak politely.

The kindness didn't mind, but knelt down and didn't get up, "The concubine has come to plead guilty to the queen mother. The queen mother is full of consideration for the country and the emperor, but because of the concubine, she bears the name of empress. It is the fault of the concubine. I only hope that I can make up for my mistakes to show my filial piety, and I hope that the Queen Mother will understand clearly."

The queen mother got the steps, and sighed: "The emperor is worried about you, the Ai family can understand, but the Ai family can't do anything, the community is the most important, so I can only stop the emperor from taking risks. You are safe now, which is the greatest luck .”

Then, seeing the sincerity on Sheng Yi's face, he said, "Go back, you just came back, the most important thing is to take care of your body."

He kowtowed politely and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

However, after Sheng Yi got up, she didn't intend to leave immediately, she seemed to have something to say.

The Queen Mother said knowingly: "But what else can you say?"

With a look of embarrassment on her face, she said, "The concubine didn't want to trouble the queen mother, but now two younger sisters in the palace have been hurt. Those evils can be eliminated.”

The Queen Mother asked suspiciously, "Did you find anything?"

Then Chengyi took out a note from his cuff, "This is the note that someone shot at Imperial Physician Chu Jing in the imperial hospital on the night Yaogui died, and then Imperial Physician Chu was forced to report it to his concubine. , the matter of Kun Shuang involved by the concubine."

The queen mother was stunned in place, very surprised.

Sheng Yi said leisurely: "The person who wrote the note must also know or be involved in the assassination of Yao Guiren, and may also be related to this incident."

After unfolding the note, the queen mother saw four words: aconite and dried ginger.

However, when looking at these words, the Empress Dowager's eyes seemed to fluctuate...
