In the Tsinghua Palace, the gate is closed.
The eunuch who had sent things from the House of Internal Affairs saw that the ladies in the palace were waiting outside the palace, and he was so frightened that he dared not speak.
The maid Mujin in charge came out of the temple, winked at him, and the two of them retreated to speak in the distance.
"The eldest prince is here, and the empress is afraid that she won't have time to see her father-in-law, so the father-in-law should go back first."
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Huang Gonggong, said, "Our family is only here to send monthly bills. This is the money from the Tsinghua Palace this month. Aunt Mu Jin sees it clearly, and our family will leave first. "
Mu Jin accepted the baggage he had handed him, and bowed to him as a blessing. Huang Gonggong left the Qinghua Palace.
After he left, Mu Jin picked up the baggage and suddenly felt something was wrong...
"Your Majesty is not on a whim this time. My palace's eyeliner in the West Palace informed Danyang. The second prince told Danyang about it with joy. I'm afraid that soon, the imperial decree of the East Palace will be announced to the court."
Concubine Xian leaned on the couch, holding her forehead in a plain suit. Very tired appearance.
Recently, Ning Di has been suffering from a lingering illness. She has always been waiting in front of her driver. She is not as energetic as those young concubines. In order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to take her favor, she still takes care of everything.
Fortunately, in the harem headed by her, no concubine dared to fight with her. She took care of Emperor Ning by herself, and finally found time to meet the prince.
The eldest prince said: "Mother concubine, do you still have the mind to take care of your father? Are you not in a hurry?"
He has been trying to have a long talk with the concubine Xian these days, but the concubines are waiting in the Ning Emperor's palace, making him wait for so many days.
Concubine Xian raised her head and said, "The palace is naturally anxious, but what's the use of being anxious? For so many years, the palace has been in charge of the harem with all its energies, taking care of your majesty, but your majesty has not cared about any kindness. For this is the case, I don't have to do more Serve with all your heart, I hope he will be touched one day, can he care for our mother and son a little bit?"
The eldest prince frowned and looked at Concubine Xian. She has become accustomed to playing Xian Liang Shude in the harem over the years, and she hasn't come out at this juncture.
"Mother concubine, you never thought that if your father doesn't get ill, he won't be able to register Li Ning Chengzhi as the prince. You are now doing your best to take care of your father, you are making wedding dresses for others!"
Concubine Xian trembled and looked at the eldest prince in a daze, "But, but your majesty's illness is just a cold, and it will get better sooner or later. When he is healed, who should stand up, what can I do if I don't wait? "
The eldest prince looked at her deeply, and the tacit understanding between mother and son made Concubine Xian suddenly understand what he was thinking.
With a tremor in her hand, she almost knocked over the tea cup on the table.
Concubine Xian pointed at him, "Emperor, what do you mean?"
She clearly understood what the prince meant, but this incident was too terrifying. She had to hear the prince speak with her own ears to believe her guess.
The prince leaned close to her and lowered his voice, "Father established the prince alive, and he must be the prince after his death. If the prince wants to fight, he will usurp the throne! But if the father can't afford it, there is no prince in the court, I Ning Chengzhi with him is one person with half the probability, and there is still room to fight for."
"You... Do you really want to attack your father?"
Although Concubine Xian was dissatisfied with Emperor Ning's actions, as a harem woman, she could only think of a way to impress Emperor Ning.
But these days, she was serving the soup and dared not to be negligent.
But the eldest prince who has always been calm and respectful, her most proud son said, to make Ning Di sick...
"Then what do you want to do?"
The eldest prince said: "Didn't the mother concubine always serve the decoction by the father's side? As long as you add something to the decoction, the father's condition will gradually worsen, and no one will suspect the mother concubine."
"Who said no one?"
The concubine Xian did not expect that he would let himself down, "Your Majesty is surrounded by so many people. There are no harem concubines, but there are eunuchs and court ladies. How can you ensure that your mother and concubine will not be seen? In case of being seen, murdering Your Majesty would be punishable. The great sin of the Nine Races!"
The prince said: "The mother concubine thinks that if we don't take this step, what else can we do? Once Ning Chengzhi becomes the prince and succeeds to the throne, neither of you nor I can escape death! Rather than wait for death, the sons and ministers would rather take the initiative, perhaps there is still a chance. !"
Concubine Xian sat down on the couch, and the words of the prince rang like thunder in her mind.
The grand palace lady Mujin suddenly walked in from outside the hall.
"what's up?"
Concubine Xian was in shock, and saw Mu Jin approaching with a look of hesitation.
She gave a blessing to the concubine and the eldest prince, "Look at the empress, this is the monthly bill that was just sent by Duke Huang of the House of Internal Affairs. It is much less than before. The slave and maidservant felt that it was wrong, and sent someone to ask him. That's all!"
Concubine Xian frowned and looked at the baggage in her hand. It was indeed not as bulging as before.
She scolded: "The people in the House of Internal Affairs are dizzy, and even the monthly bills in the palace can be mistaken, a bunch of idiots!"
Mujin bit her lip and glanced at the eldest prince, as if there was something unspeakable.
The concubine Xian said: "If you have anything to say directly."
Mu Jin knelt on the ground and said: "The person who was sent to inquire heard that Huang Gonggong told the little eunuch under his hand that the second prince is the future prince, and there is no need to be too diligent to Tsinghua Palace in the future!"
Wow.
The tea cup at Concubine Xian's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
