Chapter 387 Chapter 388: Promotion
Concubine Xian waited until Chu Pan'er fell asleep before leaving.
The sky was full of clouds, slowly covering a bright moon, and the moonlight suddenly became dark.
Back to the Tongxin Hall, Jinghua waits for the concubine to wash up.
"Jinghua, what do you think?" Concubine Xian asked suddenly.
Jinghua thought for a while, and said: "Master, in my humble opinion, I don't look like the Ninth Princess who the Empress ordered people to assassinate."
Having been with Concubine Xian for many years, Jinghua can easily guess her thoughts.
Since Concubine Xian asks this question, it can be seen that the first thing she suspects is the queen.
If Princess Jiu didn't say that someone pushed her, they would all subconsciously think that Princess Jiu accidentally slipped and fell down the stairs.
But since Princess Nine said it, it must be true.
Concubine Xian pursed her lips, without interrupting Jinghua, motioning for her to continue talking.
"My servant feels more like sowing dissension. The Ninth Princess plotted against Third Miss Lu today. The Empress is furious. For this reason, she does not hesitate to offend you. The person who is most likely to take action against the Ninth Princess can be viewed from a different angle, Empress. As the master of the harem, you have a reason to torture the nine princesses, and you will never do such a thing at this juncture."
"What you said makes sense." Concubine Xian thought for a moment, and agreed with Jinghua's statement.
What Jinghua didn't say was that even if the Empress really hated the Ninth Princess and wanted to do something secretly, she wouldn't choose today.
However, how could the two of them think that the queen did not do it herself, but told Chu Jinyan about the matter, and the person who did it was the maidservant next to Lu Xiang.
"Then you say, who is using this to stir up the hatred between me and the queen?"
The concubine Xian asked again.
Jinghua unwrapped the concubine's bun, applied flower oil on her, rubbed it lightly, and then combed it carefully: "The concubine Yi is not on good terms with the master, but the servant looks at her as if she is getting close to the empress. I don't know if I really want to get closer to the Empress Empress for the sake of my son winning over the power of the Song family, or if I deliberately let the Empress Empress relax her vigilance against her so as to hit her. Concubine Shu, but you have always had a good relationship with Concubine Shu, she will never cheat you like this."
The key point is that if Concubine Shu did it, then Concubine Shu would not treat her master as an ally at all, that's why she could cold-bloodedly push Princess Jiu down the Yujing Pavilion, breaking two legs and one hand.
"Who knows, if people keep an eye on these two people, there will always be something showing their feet." The concubine also thinks that Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu are the most likely.
As for the reason?
Let her fight the queen to the death, so that she can reap the power of a fisherman?
snort!
Don't tell her to find out who is using her daughter to start a war between her and the queen, or she will have to pick that person up.
Even if the relationship between her and the queen is already at odds, no one else can allow others to fan the flames.
Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu, who were suspected by the virtuous concubine, dismissed this matter, and didn't bother to guess who was trying to harm Chu Pan'er.
Anyway, no matter who it is, they just watch the fun.
Empress Song searched for a few days with great fanfare, but found no clues. Even the palace people who tended flowers and plants in the imperial garden said that they did not see any suspicious people. Something happened to the princess.
Empress Song went to report to Emperor Chengde: "According to my concubine's opinion, Pan'er may have hallucinated from being overly frightened. She obviously slipped and fell by accident. She was afraid of losing face, so she said someone was behind her." push her."
"The concubine has asked all the people who were in the imperial garden that day, and they all said that they didn't see it."
"Even Pan'er herself only said that someone hit her on the back of the head, and then she fell unconscious."
"Chen Qie wondered if she accidentally bumped into the pillar."
"The concubine is really incompetent, and I hope the emperor will forgive me, or the emperor will ask Commander Wu to investigate this matter."
Empress Song half-kneeled in front of Emperor Chengde, the fine sunlight came in from the window and cast on her fair face, as if she was covered with a layer of golden light, beautiful and resolute.
Looking at such a gentle and docile queen, Emperor Chengde felt a faint warmth in his heart.
Sure enough, it looks much more pleasing to the eye like this.
"No need, let the queen die."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." As Empress Song said, she didn't stand up, but said again: "Your Majesty, this concubine would like to ask His Majesty's will."
Emperor Chengde said: "What is it?"
"Although Ying'er is young, she is upright and kind-hearted. She is virtuous and virtuous. She was taught well by the nobleman of Song Dynasty. The nobleman of Song Dynasty has been in the palace for many years, serving the emperor with all her heart, and also contributed to the birth of the emperor's heir. The concubine wants to serve the emperor. The nobleman asks for a decree of grace to advance one's position."
Emperor Chengde looked at Empress Song inexplicably.
In the final analysis, isn't it because Yinger proved Lu Xiang's innocence a few days ago and saved her from punishment?
Sounds so high-sounding!
But queen, are you so direct now?
What is beneficial to you, you can support it vigorously.
Don't even cover up a little bit?
Such an obvious faction, you think the emperor is blind.
"The Song family was promoted to a nobleman when Ying'er was born, and now it has been more than ten years. It is time to be promoted. You are the queen, so you can decide this matter. Since you want to be promoted, you see Who should be promoted, you draw up a list for me, ask Qin Tianjian to set an auspicious date, and seal it together."
Emperor Cheng De said with a serious face.
"The concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness on behalf of Song nobleman." Empress Song bowed, and then suddenly looked at Emperor Chengde with doubts on her face, and asked, "Your majesty, do you have a candidate for promotion in your heart?"
Emperor Cheng De was stunned when asked: "Why did you say that?"
That is no more.
Empress Song: "The concubine just ask casually."
You said that you want to confine the harem, but she has to find out if there is any woman who particularly wants to be promoted.
After all, she only wants to seal people who are beneficial to her.
Well, it's that obvious.
The virgin concubine wanted to give her a concubine position, but she was short-lived in the palace and had no children, so she could not convince others by sitting on the concubine position.
That's all, let her wait.
Don't even think about anyone in the concubine position, any noble concubine or imperial concubine is impossible.
She is the successor, so she is not as honorable as the Yuan Empress. Even if she becomes a noble concubine, she can be equal to her. After all, she has no son, so she can't bear to cause such trouble for herself.
The news of sealing up the harem did not spread, but the news that Mr. Rong would be promoted to the throne did not go away, which shocked everyone in the harem.
In the Hall of Yuhe, Concubine Liang is really happy for the nobleman Rong.
"Great, when you become a concubine, you will be the master of the first house, and you will be able to better protect your daughter."
Rong Guiren still couldn't get back to his senses, he was in a daze.
"This... this... concubine is not dreaming, is she?"
