The five princes were not afraid of danger to participate in the Qianqiu Banquet, and the queen was involved in the 'Disgusted Case', and he also had the courage to ask to participate in the investigation, indeed because of filial piety.

However, this filial piety is not aimed at the queen, but at Zhao Jieyu.

He used to be a follower to the fourth prince for more than ten years, and the fifth prince knew very well what kind of people he had to use around the fourth prince.

If there is no help from the five princes this time, it will only be a few days, and the case will not be sorted out, let alone find out the truth!

The five princes have paid so much, just to make meritorious contributions!

In the future, if the emperor talks about meritorious deeds, the five princes don't want anything else, just ask the emperor to allow Zhao Jieyu to live in a palace alone.

According to the rules of the Great Wei court, the nine concubines can be regarded as the lord of the first palace, and they have the qualification to live alone in one palace, and the concubines and below must live in accordance with other lords.

The fifth prince didn't expect to be able to raise the status of the concubine from 'Jieyu' to 'concubine', after all, there was still Zhaoyi's position between the two, and it was not so easy to jump two levels in a row.

The top priority is to move the mother out of Concubine Ning's territory first, so that Concubine Ning can no longer rub her mother at will.

This reward, even if the emperor doesn't give it, there is a high probability that it will be realized if he asks for the queen's mother.

With this as his goal, the five princes held their breath and let the four princes ridicule and ridicule without getting angry, just to dig out some truth from the mouths of the four princes and make meritorious contributions.

Who would have thought that the credit was established, and as soon as the Beizhen Fusi of Jinyiwei came out, he heard the bad news.

The five princes' feet trembled, and they didn't know how they returned to the palace, with Eunuch Liu in front of the palace leading the way, the road was unimpeded, that's it, when the five princes arrived in Concubine Ning's palace, Zhao Jieyu only had her last breath left.

"Mother, the baby is late."

The five princes staggered and knelt in front of Zhao Jieyu's bed.

The judge of the Royal Hospital reminded, "Fifth Highness, you and Jieyu Niangniang have intimate words. ”

The palace people around Zhao Jieyu were all crying, but they didn't dare to cry, so they silently wiped their eyes with their sleeves and withdrew, leaving the fifth prince and Zhao Jieyu the last time to get along.

The fifth prince kept calling his mother concubine, Zhao Jieyu's face was pale and gray, and she had no life when she looked at it.

In the end, it was the mother and son who were connected, and Zhao Jieyu, who was hanging with only one breath, struggled to open her eyelids and saw the five princes. Zhao Jieyu had a lot of words to say to her son, and her throat seemed to be pressed with a thousand catties of phlegm, so that Zhao Jieyu couldn't spit out the whole words, and looked at the five princes greedily, and her eyelids slowly closed again.

Two lines of turbid tears slipped from the corners of Zhao Jieyu's eyes, and her chest covered with a brocade quilt did not rise or fall.

The fifth prince cried on the bed, a prince who hasn't received much attention since he was a child, Zhao Jieyu's maternal love is the only thing he really has.

Now, even this mother's love is gone.

The son wants to raise but the parent is not there.

What is the point of his efforts?

The judge of the Imperial Hospital walked in, probed Zhao Jieyu's pulse again, and nodded lightly at Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu looked sad:

"Jieyu Niangniang, Your Highness must take care of your body, and the old slave will go back to Your Majesty."

Where can the five princes still listen to Eunuch Liu's words.

What kind of holy favor, the five princes don't want to fight, it doesn't matter whether they return to the emperor or not, even if the father comes over now, he won't be able to see the last side of his mother.

And so, that's fine.

The mother concubine has been looking forward to it all her life, but she has not been remembered by her father, she has no holy grace in her life, and she should go quietly after death.

Eunuch Liu left in a hurry, without alarming Concubine Ning, who lived in the same palace.

Concubine Ning went to the emperor to plead with her, but was grounded.

The queen can only live in the side hall of Kunning Palace, and Concubine Ning naturally can't be more high-profile than the queen, so she also moved to the side hall.

It is said to be a side hall, and it is also a separate courtyard.

Hearing the crying in the courtyard where Zhao Jieyu lived, Concubine Ning knew that Zhao Jieyu was breathing. Concubine Ning has suppressed Zhao Jieyu for more than ten years, and often takes pleasure in rubbing Zhao Jieyu, but now that Zhao Jieyu is angry, Concubine Ning is not much happy, but feels that Zhao Jieyu is in the way of her own eyes when she is alive, and she will not even pick a good time to die...... If she had taken her breath two days earlier, Concubine Ning had not been grounded by the emperor, and she would naturally be able to see the five princes.

But it doesn't matter, even if he is grounded, the five princes still have to come to ask for peace, and then they can ask about the emperor's situation.

Concubine Ning knew that the five princes were not as obedient as before, and as they got older, the five princes had other thoughts.

But the five princes had bad luck climbing the high branches, fell down halfway, and had to obediently cling to themselves.

Concubine Ning was full of confidence and waited in the side hall.

waited from dark to dawn, and the five princes still didn't come to say goodbye.

……

Eunuch Liu brought the news of Zhao Jieyu's death back to the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor was not surprised at all.

Zhao Jieyu held on until the fifth prince returned to the palace before she breathed, and it was not in vain that the emperor sent the imperial hospital to renew Zhao Jieyu's life.

Eunuch Liu is still waiting for the emperor's decree, without the emperor's will, what position Zhao Jieyu wants to be buried, and where she is buried, no one else can decide.

According to the rules of the palace, as long as the concubine who did not make a big mistake and was disgusted by the emperor passed away, she would be posthumously awarded a higher rank than before her death when she was buried, so as to show the royal grace.

The fifth prince made some contributions this time, and Eunuch Liu pondered that Zhao Jieyu could at least posthumously seal a Zhaoyi title and be buried, and if she was lucky, she might be able to get a concubine.

Of course, this is all figured out by Eunuch Liu himself, and in the end, it depends on the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor did not give an order for a long time, but he drove to Kunning Palace.

The forbidden army outside the Kunning Palace had not yet been withdrawn, and when they saw the emperor coming, they all knelt on the ground.

The emperor didn't let them make much of a fuss, and went to the side hall where the queen was grounded.

The queen was grounded for a few days, only eating one meal a day, and under the candlelight, she lost a lot of money when she looked at it.

Seeing that the emperor was coming, he didn't rush up and shout wrongs like those abandoned concubines in the cold palace, and talked to the emperor as usual.

"What's bothering Your Majesty?"

"Zhao Jieyu, the biological mother of the fifth prince, died, Zhao Jieyu gave birth to a son, and she has not been promoted much over the years, I want to give Zhao Jieyu a little posthumous glory, so I came to ask the queen for your opinion."

In the past, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, the emperor came to Kunning Palace to see the queen, and he was talking about these palace affairs.

The queen sighed lightly: "Zhao Jieyu is more than ten years younger than the concubine, she went so early, the concubine saw that the fifth prince was a filial child, and Zhao Jieyu did not enjoy any blessings." ”

The queen sighed that Zhao Jieyu was blushing, and the emperor's old face was hot.

Zhao Jieyu has a meritorious child, if she has been promoted normally over the years, she should be a concubine. The queen said that Zhao Jieyu did not enjoy any blessings, that is, Zhao Jieyu had been suppressed by Concubine Ning over the years.

The emperor's face is hot, not because he feels guilty about Zhao Jieyu, but because he feels guilty about the queen.

Concubine Ning pressed Zhao Jieyu to be promoted, just by relying on the holy favor.

is also relying on the holy favor, Concubine Ning has ambitions that she shouldn't have, and she doesn't respect the queen enough on weekdays, but now-

The emperor's face was solemn: "I want to posthumously bury Zhao Jieyu as a concubine, what does the queen think?" ”

Concubine De is the head of the nine concubines, if Zhao Jieyu gets this position before her death, Concubine Ning will not dare to bully Zhao Jieyu too much.

What's the use of not giving it during life and then compensating like this after death?

The queen lowered her eyelids, "Your Majesty wants to be gracious, it is better to posthumously crown Zhao Jieyu as Concubine Kang, and Zhao Jieyu should go more decently." ”

De Concubine is the head of the nine concubines.

Concubine Kang is the penultimate title of the eighth concubine, just above Concubine Ning.
