Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 710
The first month has been peaceful, and in a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first month. After the fifteenth day, Emperor Jing got busy again, and the courtiers returned to the court again, continuing everything in the past.

Bailirui left the capital again and continued to supervise the selection of talents. As for Shen Hao and Su Qinghan, they were temporarily left in the capital.

Usually when she has nothing to do, Princess An would always go to Guanju Palace to tease her younger brother and coax her younger sister. Seeing that she liked her brother and sister very much, Su Qingyan also welcomed her to play in Guanju Palace.

The previous few times, Concubine Rong would accompany her, but as the number of Princess An's visits increased, Concubine Rong simply let her come to Guanju Palace by herself.

Anyway, there are always palace people around Princess An, and there will be no danger in Guanju Palace. Concubine Rong also hopes that she can get closer to the third prince and the third princess.

If one day in the future, the third prince really becomes the prince, Princess An, who has been close to them since childhood, can still get certain benefits.

At the very least, such a thing as a marriage will never happen to Princess An.

It's not that being a princess means you must be lucky. In the past dynasties, there are not a few princesses who get married, but the ending is not good.

Concubine Rong hopes that when Princess An grows up in the future, she can choose her son-in-law in the capital, so that if she wants to meet, she will be able to see her every now and then.

If Princess An has the heart, she can be taken out of the palace when she gets old in the future, and Princess An will take care of her for the elderly.

This is also the reason why all the concubines in the harem hope to have a child. In many cases, the child is really dependent.

In a blink of an eye, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Concubine Rong wrote a letter to her family, hoping that her father, Shen Chengzhong, could mention the matter of becoming a queen to the emperor.

The back seat has been vacant for a long time, and it's time for someone to preside over the middle palace. Since Imperial Concubine Chen has clearly told herself several times that she will not compete for the back seat, I naturally have to keep an eye on it.

"Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyi has been very quiet recently. Presumably, that imperial decree frightened her."

In Yichun Palace, Hongxiu stood beside Concubine Rong, and replied with a smile.

"After all, the second prince is her life. If the second prince is really taken away from her, she will have no hope at all."

"If this palace is her, I will raise the second prince with peace of mind. At the very least, I will wait until the second prince is sensible before talking about other things."

After raising the child well, the love for the mother deepened. At that time, even if the emperor really wanted to take the second prince away from Jing Zhaoyi, he still had to think about it.

"My lady is still wise, my lady, and the emperor really took the second prince away from Jing Zhaoyi, who in this harem has the right to raise the second prince?"

Hongxiu guessed that his master definitely couldn't do it. After all, the master had Princess An by his side, and with his current status and the status of his mother's family in the previous dynasty, the emperor would always think about it.

Since the fifteenth day, Hongxiu can always hear people talking about the prince. Many people think that the crown prince will fall to the third prince in the future.

Hongxiu herself also thinks so. After all, with Jing Zhaoyi's current status and her mother's previous status, it is really difficult for the second prince to become a prince.

What's more, the second prince's health is not good, he can't compare with the third prince at all, so anyone with a discerning eye can tell the difference immediately.

Unless the second prince grows up in the future, he will be in good health and talented again. Under such circumstances, it is somewhat possible to compete for the crown prince. Now, it is definitely impossible.

"I don't know either. I can't see the emperor's thoughts clearly. It's impossible for Concubine Chen, and neither can I. It's Qi Zhaoyi, maybe I have this honor."

Although the new year is over, Qi Zhaoyi is still the same as before, often helping her to take care of the affairs of the harem.

Concubine Rong guessed that it would always be like this in the future, so it was actually good, it would save trouble if someone helped her.

Anyway, the power is still in his own hands, and it doesn't matter if he only separates out some insignificant things.

Concubine Rong said so, and Hong Xiu didn't ask any more questions. Before something happened, no one could say anything.

"Mother, the servant has searched for a long time, and finally got a clue. The midwife who delivered the master died of illness on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

In Guanju Palace, Xiao Fuzi went to Jin Nanny's side, and reported to Jin Nanny about the investigation that Jin Nanny had asked her to investigate.

"Dead?" After hearing Xiao Fuzi's words, Nanny Jin was very surprised, "Did she really die of illness? The midwife seemed to be in good health, why did she suddenly die of illness?"

Having been in the harem for many years, Nanny Jin naturally did not believe that there would be such a coincidence in this world. She frowned and continued to ask Xiao Fuzi.

"If you go back to Mammy, the servant checked and found that he died of illness. Not only that, but their family also moved out of the capital, and they left in a hurry. They moved out just after the funeral."

"This is interesting. It seems that there is something wrong. Can we still pursue it? The best way is to find the midwife's family. Even if it costs money, it doesn't matter. I want you to pry their mouths open."

Since there was something strange, it was natural to find out, Jin Nanny's eyes flashed cruelty, she looked at Xiao Fuzi, and ordered.

"Don't worry, Mammy, the slaves will definitely continue to investigate." He quickly responded, and Xiao Fuzi naturally heard Jin Nanny's words.

"You've worked hard too. Those who celebrate the New Year will not live in peace." Seeing Xiao Fuzi's answer, Jin Nam said with a smile.

"What are you talking about, mammy? The empress is so kind to the servant, let alone running errands, even if she wants the servant's life, the servant will not say anything."

After listening to Nanny Jin, Xiao Fuzi smiled and said, if it wasn't for Su Qingyan's trust, he wouldn't have come to where he is today.

In the past, he was yelled at by people, but now it is different, as long as he goes out, anyone who sees him will almost call him Fu Gonggong.

This kind of honor was given to him by his master, and he was grateful for it.

"It's the New Year's Eve, you don't have a life, you go, I'll go and see the little masters, the midwife has a problem, I don't trust the nanny."

After talking to Xiao Fuzi a few more words, Nanny Jin turned around and walked towards the side hall on the other side.

…………

"Cheng... kneeling concubine, former... Cheng kneeling concubine..." In the dungeon where Concubine Xing was imprisoned, the stench was suffocating. Because of Emperor Jing's deliberate order, Concubine Xing's life would be worse than death during this time.

Several times, she wanted to end her own life, but there was always someone hanging her life, making her unable to ask for death.

In addition, she had a belief in her heart, so she struggled to support it. In the past few days, her mouth kept talking, but because she lost a piece of her tongue, she couldn't speak clearly.

"What kind of kneeling concubine does not kneel, stop!" A whip was whipped on Concubine Xing's body, and the guard guarding her covered her nose and walked forward.

Although it was painful, Concubine Xing didn't seem to care, and she kept murmuring indistinctly, "See... Cheng Kneeling Concubine..."
