When the second princess heard her aunt say this, although she was unwilling, she knew that she couldn't refute her aunt at this time and slap her face in public.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of officials presented birthday gifts to the Queen Mother, and in the end, the Queen Mother appeared in sight with a huge brocade box.

The concubine had a smile on her face, but her eyes looked at the queen mother with hatred, "The concubine and the queen mother's sister have been sisters for most of their lives, the queen mother's sister's birthday, why didn't the concubine express it?" In this brocade box is the birthday gift specially prepared by the concubine for the queen mother's sister. It needs to be opened by the Queen Mother's sister herself. You'll love it."

"I'm glad my sister can come to mourn the house. It's rare that my sister has the heart to prepare a birthday gift for the mourning family, please take a seat," the queen mother said, asking someone to present the concubine's birthday gift.

The concubine stared at the brocade box in the queen mother's hand, and a smile of conspiracy appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The brocade box looked quite big, and the queen mother really wanted to know what good things the concubine gave her, so she opened it in front of the officials, only to see that it was a bloody human head, or her personal grandmother who followed her since she entered the palace. can be said to be the most trusted confidant around her.

This person is old and misses the old, the queen mother can't stand this blow, and immediately threw out the brocade box in her hand in fright, her face was pale, her heart beat faster and faster, she stood up tremblingly, pointed at the concubine with her finger, didn't say a word, and fainted to death from fright and excessive sadness.

The emperor and the civil and military officials looked at the head of the old woman who rolled to the ground, the picture was too bloody, and they were all scared.

"Pass the imperial doctor" The emperor went over for the first time to help the queen mother and gave an order.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was ended by the concubine.

The Queen Mother was frightened by a wild cat some time ago, and this happened to be frightened again.

Several palace maids and eunuchs helped the Queen Mother back, and the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated the Queen Mother.

The concubine was also grounded by the emperor's order, and someone from Dali Temple was sent to interrogate why she did this.

It turned out that the concubine learned that the dragon heir she was pregnant with when she was young had an unexpected miscarriage, and it was the queen mother who instructed the old lady to do it.

The concubine didn't know about this, but last night a mysterious man in black sent her a secret letter stating the matter. She sent someone to arrest the old woman and come back for interrogation, but the old woman couldn't stand the torture and confessed all the things that happened back then.

At that time, she lost her qualification to be a mother forever, even if she personally cut off the old mother's head for the queen mother's birthday, she couldn't solve the hatred in her heart.

…………

At the same time, Chu Huaijin also received a letter from the capital, and the Queen Mother fainted to death from fright at the birthday banquet.

He had long expected this result, and he was not too surprised, he counted the days, and Lu Chuan should also arrive in the capital in two days.

Everything was in his calculations, and two days later, Lu Chuan arrived at the Marquis Mansion in the capital.

The Hou Mansion has the eyeliner planted by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and overheard Lu Chuan and his father Hou Ye talking about Chu Huaijin's serious poison disease.

The news that the third prince was seriously ill immediately spread to the palace, the queen mother was still in a coma, and the emperor had already received the news. He was not very happy in his heart, on the contrary, he was a little disappointed.

Although the third prince is not the brother of his mother's compatriots, he is also born from the same father, grew up together, was taught by the same master, practiced martial arts together, and his feelings are deeper than that of the second prince.

Most of the reason for the disagreement between the two is that the Queen Mother instigated it, he is the eldest son born to the Queen Mother, and he has been made the crown prince since birth.

However, the third prince is much smarter than him, and he has received the most praise from the prince, and he is also very talented in martial arts, and the emperor also admires the three princes the most.

The Queen Mother often reminded him in his ear to beware of the first emperor abolishing him as the crown prince and replacing it with a more intelligent third prince.

Since then, he has had a dislike for the third prince, the royal brother, and after he ascended the throne, under the guidance of the queen mother, he could not rest assured for a moment.

The barbarians entered the country and invaded the territory of the Great Chu State, and he ordered the three princes to go to Jiangbei to kill the barbarians and protect the land.

The barbarian was fierce and menacing, and he didn't expect that the third prince would repel the barbarian 50,000 with 30,000 soldiers and horses and return victorious. has gained the name of a god of war, and his reputation is even better than before.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine asked outside the palace to go to the county to visit the seriously ill third prince. Does the emperor want to see the imperial concubine? Father-in-law Zhang asked cautiously.

"No, just pass on my will, quasi-play" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and his gestures were all kingly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The imperial concubine stood outside the hall, although she was almost forty years old, the years seemed to treat her very favorably, and did not leave traces on her face, but her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and she did not lose her dignified and noble spirit.

"The slave asked the imperial concubine to say goodbye, and the emperor allowed you to leave the palace and go to the county." Father-in-law Zhang spoke respectfully.

The imperial concubine looked at the magnificent palace door and sighed. A sorrow welled up between his eyebrows and eyes.

A few days later, a luxurious carriage in the county was hijacked by the ruffians, and Kapok and her mother went into the city to make a new quilt, just in time to see a beautiful woman in the carriage being held by the thugs with a knife to the neck and blackmailed to take the silver.

Kapok couldn't get used to it, because she was pregnant with twins, she didn't dare to go rashly, but fortunately, it was the place where her three younger brothers sold fried snails.

Kapok asked his three younger brothers to help save the beautiful woman, and reported it to the government, and the people of the government arrested the gangsters.

"It's okay, the bad guys have been arrested, is your house near here, madam? I'll let the three younger brothers send you back" Kapok looked at the beautiful woman and was frightened, and stepped forward to talk.

Imperial Concubine Lu Ning was indeed frightened and lost her mind, and it took a long time to recover, looking at Kapok's fair and delicate little face, especially a pair of watery eyes, which was extraordinarily bright.

Such a good-looking little girl, she lost most of the fright she had just suffered, and said softly, "I'm going to Peach Blossom Village, bother the girl to show the way, this golden hairpin is considered a reward for leading the way." When I get to Peach Blossom Village and find my son, I will reward the girl for saving her life."

Kapok looked at the golden hairpin in the hand of the beautiful woman, the workmanship was fine, and it was a high-quality product at a glance.

"Madame, take it back quickly, I can't ask for such a valuable thing. My family lives in Peach Blossom Village, and I happen to be on the way with my wife, this is my mother."

It just so happened that Lu Ning had a carriage, and it was very spacious, and Kapok and Mrs. Liu took her carriage back to Peach Blossom Village together.

Kapok showed the coachman the way by the way.

Lu Ning also wanted to surprise her son, and asked Lu Chuan, the nephew, where his son lived.

She thought she could find it, but she lived in the deep palace for a long time on weekdays, and she didn't know the way when she went out.

She only knew that her son was in Peach Blossom Village, and she couldn't find where he was.

Kapok saw the beauty woman's breakage, and it happened that her second sister-in-law had prepared a meal. She opened her mouth to keep the beautiful woman, "Madame, all the way, haven't you eaten a hot meal yet!" Madame is not disgusted, and it is not too late to find your son after eating at my house first. I can also ask my second brother to find your son's house."
