In this harem, there is a big difference between the treatment of having children and not having children.

Don't say that she gave birth to a prince, even if she just gave birth to a princess, it was much better than the concubine who couldn't give birth to anything.

Grace is the goal of their struggle, and offspring is the foundation of their survival.

Concubine Ning is now in her thirties, compared to those delicate new concubines who have just entered the palace, she is already old and decrepit, and the emperor rarely goes to her palace to spend the night in recent years.

But even so, others don't dare to underestimate her, her share is indispensable, her days in the palace are very nourishing, and even the queen has to give her some face.

All because she gave birth to four princes.

Concubine Ning didn't think much about it when she learned that the queen had summoned her, and after dressing up a little, she took a sedan chair to the Jiaofang Palace.

The palace maid carefully helped Concubine Ning to the ground.

Concubine Ning looked at the gate of the magnificent Jiaofang Hall in front of her and sighed, a little disdainful and a little jealous in her heart.

As the lord of the six palaces, this Queen Qin looks at the infinite scenery, and everyone wants to slap her, but everyone knows very well in their hearts that Queen Qin is actually a hen that does not lay eggs, and for so many years, except for one pregnancy in the early years, she has never been pregnant again.

The emperor and the empress dowager did not allow everyone to discuss this matter, but everyone was not stupid, and they could guess that Empress Qin must have injured her body during a miscarriage that year, causing her to never get pregnant again.

Concubine Ning thought more than once that Empress Qin just occupied the pit and didn't.

obviously can't give birth to children, but she still wants to occupy the position of the queen and refuses to let Xian, without self-knowledge!

The palace maid reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang be careful of the threshold." ”

Concubine Ning stepped over the high threshold of the Jiaofang Palace, walked into the hall, and bowed to Queen Qin.

Empress Qin was wearing a black wide-sleeved long skirt, and such a deep color was worn on her, setting off her more and more cold and indifferent.

The princess of the palace took two steps forward with a silk handkerchief, and a round jade pendant was lying in the silk handkerchief.

Empress Qin asked, "This is something from Concubine Ning's palace, right?" ”

Concubine Ning's pupils shrank slightly when she saw the jade pendant.

She subconsciously tugged at her sleeves, barely squeezing out a smile on her face, trying to make herself look more calm and natural.

"This is the queen mother's reward to the concubine last year, I didn't see it when I was tidying up things recently, and the concubine thought she had accidentally lost it. The concubine was about to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to help find it, but she didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the queen. ”

Empress Qin said coldly: "This jade pendant was found on a palace maid named Epiphany. ”

Concubine Ning didn't think about it, so she quickly said, "The concubine doesn't know this person. ”

"This palace doesn't care if you know Epiphany, this palace only knows that it was Epiphany who wanted to poison and murder the prince, and Epiphany has your jade pendant on her."

Concubine Ning was shocked: "The concubine never thought of poisoning the prince, the concubine is innocent!" ”

"Innocence?" Empress Qin smiled coldly, "In this harem, no one is innocent. ”

"The concubine was really wronged, ask the queen to find out!"

Concubine Ning knelt down and kowtowed, and layers of cold sweat were already breaking out on her back.

Empress Qin looked at her coldly: "This jade pendant is evidence of your murder of the prince, even if you refuse to admit your guilt, this palace can't spare you today, come and drag Concubine Ning down to the rod for thirty." ”

Concubine Ning screamed in horror: "The queen mother spares her life!" ”

Two sturdy grandmothers walked in, grabbed Concubine Ning's arms one left and one right, covered her mouth, and dragged her out roughly.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Ning's screams sounded outside.
