What happened between several palace maids and the careful thinking behind her back, Lu Yuning naturally didn't know, after she and the concubine gossiped for a while, seeing that the concubine had not said her intentions, Lu Yuning was not in a hurry, so she accompanied the concubine to continue to eat snacks and continue to gossip.

After eating a plate of dim sum on the table, the tea in front of him was changed to two, and the concubine finally got down to business.

"Actually, the concubine came to Niangniang today because she wanted to talk to Niangniang."

"Please." Lu Yuning said with a smile.

He Concubine was silent for a while, her face showed a little tangled, and she didn't know if she didn't know how to speak, or if she regretted it at this point, and she didn't know if she wanted to say it.

Lu Yuning didn't urge, she lowered her head and took a sip of the water in the cup, waiting quietly.

After a while, the concubine may have thought about it, and she went straight to the point and said: "The concubine's personal palace maid heard the little palace maid below today talking about saying that it was the mother who contracted smallpox before the fifth prince was made by you. ”

Lu Yuning frowned after listening to the words of the concubine, when she first knew that the fifth prince was infected with smallpox, she felt that the matter of the fifth prince being infected with smallpox was too sudden and inexplicable, and suspected that this matter was not simple.

She also thought carefully about who did it to the five princes at that time, but she didn't expect that someone would want to blame her for this now? I don't know if this was planned before, or if it was a temporary idea after discovering that she was pregnant?

Lu Yuning didn't doubt the truth of his concubine's words, and it didn't make sense to lie to her with his concubine.

"Thank you for telling me this." Lu Yuning smiled gratefully at Xu and his concubine, and said, "But the matter of the fifth prince contracting smallpox has nothing to do with me, and I can't afford to get along with a milk doll who is less than a year old." ”

He Concubine smiled when she heard this, and said, "The concubine also knows that Niangniang is not such a ruthless person, so after thinking about it, she decided to tell Niangniang about it." ”

After the concubine heard about this from her personal palace maid at that time, she didn't think about whether to stab this matter in front of the emperor or the queen mother, after all, murdering the prince is a serious crime, if the blame for this matter really falls on the concubine, then the concubine will definitely play.

Without Concubine Shu here, she can also have a few more opportunities to sleep.

But tangled and entangled, thinking of the letter just sent in by the family, my father has been in poor health recently, and he has decided to resign from the office, once the emperor allows his father's resignation, then all the military power in the hands of the Cui family will be handed over.

The military power in the hands of the Cui family is not as heavy as that in the hands of the Marquis of Zhongyong and the He family, but it is not light.

Cui's father wanted to resign, and he took the initiative to hand over the military power, but he was also frightened by the affairs of the He family.

Seeing that the military power in the hands of the Marquis of Zhongyong and the He family has fallen into the hands of the emperor, the Marquis of Zhongyong has handed over the military power, and the villain is fine, but the He family has ended up with a full of beheadings.

Although the reason why the emperor will execute the He family is that He Xiangming collaborated with the enemy and treason, who knows if there is any secret manipulation by the emperor in order to firmly hold the military power in his hands.

Cui's father thought about it again and again, discussed and discussed with his sons and staff in his family, and finally decided to take the initiative to resign from the emperor and hand over the military power in his hands in order to save the lives of hundreds of people in the Dingyuan General's Mansion.

He Concubine didn't know these thoughts of Cui's father, but she knew that once her father resigned and handed over the military power in his hands, then she would no longer have the power to fight in the harem.

But fortunately, she is now a concubine, and the emperor also handed over the third princess born to her to raise before the emperor, even without the support of the He family, her life in the harem will not be too sad.

But it's just not sad, and it's not easy to think about how good it is.

If you want to live well, the best way is to find a good backer.

The best backer in this palace must be the emperor, but if she could rely on the emperor's backer, she would have leaned on it a long time ago.

In addition to the emperor, that is, the queen mother, the queen mother is very cold to these concubines, and she is also unreliable.

In addition to these two, the most favored in the palace now is Concubine Shu, although Concubine Shu is not the queen, but she is constantly favored and is also a good backer.

And Concubine Shu is still pregnant, with her holy grace, if this baby gives birth to a prince, maybe she will be able to sit on the queen's throne, after all, the queen's seat has been empty for a few years, and someone will have to sit on it sooner or later.

Anyway, she has no prince under her name, and she will not have a conflict of interest with Concubine Shu in the future.

If she can buy a good one in front of Concubine Shu this time, Concubine Shu will definitely remember her good, and when Concubine Shu sits on the throne of queen in the future, her life in the palace will definitely be better than now.

It's better than she doesn't do anything now.

After thinking about it for a long time, the concubine finally made up her mind to go to the concubine to sell it to the concubine.

But in front of Concubine Shu, did he think that he would take it for granted?

So when she came to her, she struggled again, but in the end she still thought that since she had come, there was no need to be entangled.

Later, Lu Yuning asked the concubine a few more details, and also knew from the concubine's mouth that the reason why the concubine's personal palace maid would tell the concubine about it after the little palace maid said it was because the little palace maid swore that it was true and reasonable.

When the fifth prince was dyed with smallpox, wasn't there a palace maid who was also dying with smallpox, and didn't survive and died?

It is said that this palace maid and a little eunuch who plays with flowers and plants in the imperial garden are godsisters and brothers, and Zhou Liang, the eunuch in Lu Yuning's palace, was originally a flower and plant in the imperial garden, not only did he know this little eunuch before, but he also had a very good relationship.

Zhou Liang would often go to this little eunuch. Before the fifth prince contracted smallpox, Zhou Liang happened to go to find this little eunuch.

After Zhou Liang finished looking for the little eunuch, the little eunuch turned around and went to find the palace maid who was waiting beside the fifth prince.

And the most important thing is that after the palace maid next to the fifth prince contracted smallpox and died, the little eunuch also died.

Committed suicide and hanged himself in his own house.

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, after all, it was too normal for someone to die in the palace, but later some people said that the little eunuch committed suicide after looking for Zhou Liang, so this matter is worth pondering.

Not to mention the things ahead.

But even if everyone has doubts in their hearts, they don't dare to talk nonsense without evidence.

But that day, everyone knew that Concubine Shu was pregnant, and they couldn't help but say it in private, it must be that Concubine Shu herself was pregnant and felt that her fetus must be the prince, and she was afraid that the fifth prince would become a stumbling block to the child in her womb in the future, so she made the first move.

Why did you say that Concubine Shu didn't attack the third prince and the fourth prince, but picked the fifth prince? Of course, it was because Concubine Shu was jealous of the He family behind Concubine Jing.

After all, when Concubine Shu started, she didn't know that the He family had committed something and it was about to end.
