Chapter 57: Concubine Jiang
"What do our mother and son ask for or not, if there is anything, let's discuss it. β
The Tenth Prince got up from opposite Zheng Guifei, sat down beside Zheng Guifei, bowed his head and whispered, "Mother, the assassin who assassinated the ninth brother was sent by me. β
Zheng Guifei was furious: "It's you, why would you send someone to assassinate your ninth brother?"
When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they said hurtfully, "Is the concubine very disappointed? Do you think I did something wrong?"
"That's not what the mother meant, those who do big things are bound to be ruthless, but why do you suddenly want to do this?"
"My father and mother have doted on Brother Jiu since he was a child, and I pity him for losing his mother since he was a child, and he is well-behaved and sensible. β
Zheng Guifei realized that her son didn't know anything about her hard work, and there were still many misunderstandings, and because he was angry, she said angrily, "Shut up, but it's just because of jealousy, you make a rash decision, make a decision, you still fail, you can't end the game, I have taught you for so many years, you have learned this?"
was scolded, but the tenth prince was not sad, "Mother, don't you blame me for being jealous of the ninth brother and assassinating him?"
Zheng Guifei stretched out her hand, gently stroked the side of his face, and softly comforted, "Silly boy, you are my flesh and blood, how can I blame you because of others?"
seemed to be encouraged, he said what he thought in his heart, "It's me who misunderstood my mother, the ninth brother privately offered a woman like his father, and was also named a concubine by his father, and climbed on the head of the mother's concubine, but the son is not angry, that Concubine Qiong is more and more favored by the month, and the ninth brother also has to rely on, Concubine Qiong is by no means accidental, the father and the emperor originally favored the ninth brother, I think the ninth brother has his own ideas, and the son also wants to eradicate a stumbling block as soon as possible." β
As long as your father thinks that he is a person on our side, we will have one more bargaining chip and can make good use of it, but you are so reckless, you want me to ask for help now, I am afraid that something has gone wrong. β
"It's still the concubine who is smart, they seem to have found some evidence. β
"Your ninth brother has been raised under my knees since he was a child, who would believe that you sent someone to kill your ninth brother, this matter can also be carefully calculated, maybe it can be more beneficial to us, you don't touch this matter, I will let the rest be solved, you just need to be frank." β
"The son understands that it all depends on the mother, and the mother said that the ninth brother is a bargaining chip, does the mother have a plan?"
Concubine Zheng Guifei unhurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I used to be afraid that you were young and prone to flaws, but now that you are older, you have your own ideas, and it is okay to tell you." It's been many years ago, people who know me and your ninth brother's biological mother Jiang know that I have a handkerchief with her, I have been friends since I was a child, carefree and grew up to the cardamom years, when I was young, I was confused by a poor student, at that time the family wanted to send me into the palace, when I hesitated, Jiang persuaded me to pursue love, at that time, it was impulsive, I confronted the family, and did not want to enter the palace. That year, I tried my best to avoid entering the palace, but the poor student couldn't withstand the pressure and gave up, and he was heartbroken at the time. At that time, the Jiang family had already entered the palace and was still favored by His Majesty. I was ridiculed at home, and after three months of being closed, she pretended to send gifts from the palace. β
Grasping the edge of the table with his hand, the ten princes took her hand and held it gently, "I put on the neon dress she sent, brought the hairpin bracelet she sent, and looked at the flower-like face in the mirror, and knew that I would never admit defeat." I am the concubine of Zheng Guogong's mansion, how can I lose, I have been in the house for two years, the family invited me to teach all kinds of teachings, I learned all kinds of skills, two years, I have the opportunity to enter the palace again, she has been favored by His Majesty, for the third grade Shuyi, and I can only start from scratch. β
"The mother concubine is talented, and now she is not a latecomer, so you don't have to keep her in mind. β
"How can it be so simple, you must know that the position in a person's heart is limited, she entered the emperor's heart first, how hard the latecomers worked, in order to squeeze in. Although she doesn't mention the past, she always shows off in front of me how she has gained grace, as if she is really naΓ―ve, you say, how hateful?"
"Later, she was pregnant with your ninth brother, Your Majesty actually crossed the level and named her a concubine, a few months later, God had mercy on me, let me have you in the most difficult time, how can I not cherish you? She died in childbirth, Your Majesty took pity on their son, and left it to me to take care of, even if you were younger, Your Majesty did not give you more mercy, but just treated you normally. β
"My mother was weak at the time, so if she didn't want to, she just refused, so why should she be wronged. β
"At that time, my status in the palace was not high, and our mother and son were not valued by His Majesty, and I had to bear it no matter how tired I was for you. He is standing here with us, we can get His Majesty's attention, I am now a noble concubine, and I can also get the support of Dazaifu, killing a few birds with one stone. β
The tenth prince grabbed the hand of the concubine, "Mother, I have decided, I will not send anyone to kill him again, I want him to keep quiet for you like this and atone for Concubine Jiang." β
The concubine held him back, "With a well-behaved child like you, how can the mother concubine not bother to plan for you, the mother concubine must give you the best." The mother concubine has deliberately raised him like this over the years, also to prevent him from becoming a threat to you, when the time is ripe, I will definitely give our mother and son a justice, and repay our grievances one by one. β
"Mother, my son will not misunderstand you in the future, and my son will listen to you. β
"How can you listen to me, you will be the supreme person in the future, you have to learn to make your own decisions and find a way, the mother concubine can only help you get that position, and you have to rely on yourself for the rest. β
"The son knows, and the son will definitely redouble his filial piety to his mother in the future. β
"In the blink of an eye, you are about to be crowned, I heard that your father ordered the eldest prince to prepare for the crowning of you and your ninth brother, and you are also going to be the prince in charge, the mother concubine is really reluctant. β
"In this way, my son can have more strength and protect you, you can rest assured, I will definitely be able to do a good job and impress my father. β
The two mother and son have a deep affection and happiness, and the ten princes secretly swear in their hearts that they must get the seat that belongs to them.
When it was time to go to bed, the concubine only took off her outer clothes and lay down with her clothes.
In the middle of the night, someone knocked twice by the window outside the dormitory, and the henchman palace maid who kept vigil was busy calling the concubine, and the concubine put on her coat.
Let the henchman go to the door to guard, open the window a two-finger-wide slit, and see clearly the bat mask worn by the man in black outside, the black ring on the thumb of his right hand, and his figure, so as to rest assured.
The two of them separated the window, "What is the matter with the concubine Niangniang looking for me?"
"My son sent someone to assassinate the Nine Emperor Princes, and now it seems that someone has found some evidence, I want you to help me deal with the aftermath, and it is best to push down King Ling. β
"It's really smart, the king of Binzhou doesn't have any good fruit to eat, and now with this incident, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn over, and it will be clever. But why not solve the Nine Emperors, who is uncomfortable to look at?"
