Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1080 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 6

Da Pangju hasn't entered the harem for nearly half a month. Jiang Xinxin, Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing are the only ones in the harem who are not in a hurry. As for the others, especially Nian Shilan, if it weren't for the miscarriage of Concubine Fang, she could go to the Yangxin Palace to talk to Da Pangju at any time. Otherwise, she would have tortured Concubine Cao.

The reason why Big Fat Ju did not enter the harem was that he suddenly discovered that the queen was becoming more and more unscrupulous in doing things, and it seemed that she had restrained her affection for him. He suddenly remembered that the queen was not only Chun Yuan's half-sister, but also his concubine and the mother of his eldest son Honghui. He felt that he could not face the queen, so he put aside his dissatisfaction with the queen for causing chaos in the harem.

Secondly, the government affairs of the previous dynasty were indeed very cumbersome and annoying. The empress dowager only mentioned the youngest son briefly before the late emperor's coffin, and the Eighth Prince's party seized the opportunity to spread rumors that he had come to the throne in an illegitimate manner and had snatched the throne from his younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince. Now he used means to start with the Eighth Lady, fabricated charges and imprisoned the Eighth and Ninth Princes in the clan house, and Nian Gengyao took the opportunity to take his place and cause trouble.

Big Fat Orange had to pinch his nose and complain bitterly: "There is no peace for a moment!"

Concubine Fang had a miscarriage and was injured. The imperial physician diagnosed that she would have difficulty having children in the future, so after waking up, Concubine Fang kept cursing and wailing. Fortunately, Sui Yuxuan was far away from the six palaces and only Concubine Jing's Xianfu Palace could hear a little noise, otherwise Concubine Fang would have offended public anger.

After Huichun brought the imperial physician to report the whole story of Concubine Fang's miscarriage, Fat Ju still felt that Concubine Fang might have been the victim of some conspiracy, but he decided to let the matter end there. After hearing Concubine Fang's fuss, he did not intend to punish her because she was a victim.

However, even though no one tried to sow discord between Concubine Fang and Nian Shilan, she still kept her eyes on Nian Shilan, and kept asking Dapangju to punish Nian Shilan for revenge for the royal heir. Dapangju lost all his patience and confined Concubine Fang to Suiyuxuan on the charge of "excessive grief and insanity".

Fat Ju led Nian Shilan away leisurely. Before leaving, Nian Shilan turned back and gave Jiang Xinxin a smug look of provocation. Jiang Xinxin didn't bother to care how smug this woman was at the moment, and just turned back to scold Concubine Fang: "Who told you that you were harmed by Nian?!"

Concubine Fang collapsed to the ground, feeling hopeless, and murmured, "The Emperor is so heartless..."

Jiang Xinxin kindly explained, "The two doctors who diagnosed your pulse that day were not the same ones who usually took care of the dragon fetus in your house. They also carefully checked the pulse case, the prescription, and the medicine residue. Then I ordered people to check the water, utensils, and charcoal fire for boiling the medicine. It was indeed as the two doctors said, there was no problem."

Jiang Xinxin added in her heart that all the problems had been resolved by her, so she had the right to say so.

Concubine Fang still looked like she was dying, so Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but raise her voice and continued, "I have asked the palace servants in Suiyuxuan before, and there were indeed two palace maids who deliberately gossiped about you. But according to them, they couldn't stand you using the dragon fetus to win favor and offending people in the harem. They were worried that your behavior would implicate them, so they just complained casually."

"I have already punished him and sent him back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor has no objection to this. It's just that you didn't learn from Concubine Xin's previous experience, which made the emperor feel annoyed."

Concubine Fang finally came to her senses. She knelt down and took hold of Jiang Xinxin's skirt, crying and begging, "Queen, please have mercy on me. For the sake of the heir, please give justice to my poor child!"

Jiang Xinxin wanted to reach out and pinch her eyebrows, it seemed like all her time talking was in vain!

Grabbing the hem of her clothes, Jiang Xinxin stood up and walked out, "Lady Fang, please take care of yourself. Only when you are in good health will you have a chance in the future."

After leaving Suiyuxuan, Jianqiu lowered her voice and said to Jiang Xinxin, "Why does your Majesty bother to think so much about Concubine Fang? It seems that Concubine Fang is not someone who will listen to good words."

Jiang Xinxin had already put Concubine Fang's matter behind her and said casually, "It's just that I feel sorry for her because she lost such a big child and weakened her body."

Jianqiu sincerely admired: "Your Majesty is so kind."

Jiang Xinxin didn't find it ironic, even though everything that Concubine Fang had experienced today was caused by Yixiu and Jianqiu.

Jiang Xinxin had just returned to Jingren Palace when she was summoned by the Empress Dowager of Shoukang Palace.

Zhu Xi has always been respectful in front of the queen. Now that Jiang Xinxin has fallen out with the queen mother, her attitude has become respectful: "Hello, queen. The queen mother has an important matter today and summoned you to Shoukang Palace to discuss it."

Jiang Xinxin supported Jianqiu's hand and stood up directly, without asking the Queen Mother what she was up to. As a result, the Queen Mother dropped a big bomb right away: "I have already discussed it with the Emperor. For the sake of the heir, we should select the concubine as soon as possible."

Jiang Xinxin couldn't believe what she heard. "The 100-day mourning period for the late emperor has just ended, and the royal family is still not allowed to have banquets for a year, but the palace is holding a beauty pageant?"

"I wonder if you, the Empress Dowager, want a general election or a minor one? If it's a general election, aren't you afraid that the Emperor's reputation won't be ruined enough?"

The Queen Mother's smile froze, and she said solemnly, "I have already discussed with the Emperor that the election will be held in August. The Queen should go back and take care of it."

Jiang Xinxin's face darkened as well. "I can't understand the Empress Dowager's thoughts. The reputation of the Emperor is so important. In his later years, the late Emperor treated court officials leniently for the sake of his reputation as a benevolent monarch, but he allowed court officials to embezzle the national treasury. The Emperor has been working day and night to fill the national treasury."

"Your Highness, you have forgotten how the Eighth Master and his party used clever words to tamper with the imperial edict when the Emperor ascended the throne in front of the spirit of the late Emperor."

"Or maybe, in the Empress Dowager's heart, the throne really belongs to the Fourteenth Brother, and the Emperor's brother is just a thief who stole the throne from your beloved son?"

"shut up!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Do you think Ulanara has lived too long?!"

Even if the Queen Mother had some idea, she knew that this matter must not be revealed in front of the Emperor. However, she did not expect the Queen to act so recklessly. She did not know whether she had any evidence or was just speculating.

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered and then became deep. Jiang Xinxin and the Queen Mother were the only ones in the room. At least at this moment, the Queen Mother really wanted to kill the Queen to silence her.

Jiang Xinxin picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiling and praising, "Your Majesty is indeed filial. I'm afraid all the pre-rain Longjing tea this year has been sent to the Empress Dowager. It's a pity that I've changed my taste recently and prefer Yunnan Pu'er."

Even though the Queen Mother had been fighting in the palace for most of her life, she was helpless against the Queen who seemed to be flawless. But she was not really helpless.

The Queen Mother suddenly chuckled, "Back then, I allowed you to cause Rouze to die and two lives. You don't think that the matter is over just like that, do you?"

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "I knew that with the emperor's temper, he would definitely investigate the death of Rouze and the Second Prince. Even if Rouze begged for mercy before his death, he couldn't let a child, the prince's wife, and the emperor's grandson have their hands in his hands. He also knew that the queen mother must have spent a lot of effort to help me clean up the mess. This is your flaw, queen mother."

"In fact, this is a big or small election. I really don't care. Just like I don't care about the emperor, the queen, or my own life."

"But you two are so good at being prostitutes, and you've pushed me out to absorb the resentment of the former and harems. It really makes me feel resentful."
