Chapter 1074 What the emperor's brother can give to Shen Zhinian, he can also give
Later on, she had only one friend in the palace, Sister Xiyan, who was also beaten to death by Empress Chen.
Ba Niangniang treated her very well, and she regarded Ba Niangniang as a good friend. But now, Ba Niangniang was also in trouble.
The eldest princess really doesn’t understand why the people she likes don’t get the Buddha’s favor?
It must be because she was not sincere enough in worshiping Buddha.
The eldest princess imitated Concubine Zhuang, closed her eyes, and struck the wooden fish with all her heart.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian ordered Fuqiu to reward Xiao Zhouzi and praised him, "...You did a good job today."
"If you hadn't found Xing'er's family in time and brought the evidence back to the palace, I wouldn't have been able to convict Ba Ying of the crime so easily."
The corners of Xiao Zhouzi's lips slightly raised, and he said modestly: "It is because of the ability of those people trained by the queen outside the palace that I can do this job well."
"Speaking of which, it was Xiyan who led me to find Xing'er's family. Although she is young, she has outstanding abilities. I believe that in time, Xiyan will become the right-hand man of the queen!"
After Shen Zhinian made Chu Xiyan fake her death and leave the palace, this was the first time Xiao Mingzi heard news about her, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
But he did not ask, so as not to disturb the empress from talking about business. He would just ask little Zhouzi later.
Shen Zhinian nodded.
Seeing that Xiao Zhouzi had finished his report, Xiao Mingzi talked about another matter: "My queen, not long after you left Shuixi Pavilion, Ba promised to summon the imperial physician again. It seems that because of what happened today, her pregnancy has really become very unstable."
Speaking of Ba Da Ying, Handan became angry: "If the queen hadn't seen through Ba Da Ying's plot long ago, I'm afraid she would have succeeded today!"
"Although everyone understands that the queen has no need to harm Ba's promised child, even if her plan succeeds, His Majesty may not convict the queen. But if she is suspected, it will eventually affect the queen's reputation."
"Ba Da Ying really has a murderous heart!"
Fuqiu said: "She was demoted from a noble lady to a concubine, and even lost her title. It's all her own fault."
A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Zhouzi's eyes, and he wiped his neck and said, "My queen, Ba Da Ying has already lost the emperor's favor, and even the child in her belly is no longer favored by His Majesty."
"Besides, Ba Da Ying was poisoned by the snow silkworm's exuvia, and she was already in labor. It would be normal for her to have a miscarriage at this time. But she needs a servant..."
Although the queen had told them long ago that she would not harm the children in the palace, it was Ba who agreed to do it first. Even if the queen fought back, they would not think it was wrong.
Shen Zhinian shook his head: "No need."
It’s not because she is a saint who repays evil with kindness, but because of the memories of her previous life. Shen Zhinian knew that Nangong Xuanyu eventually got rid of King Jin through Ba Da Ying.
The emperor still has use for Ba Da Ying and will not allow anyone to harm Ba Da Ying's life.
If she acts rashly, it might backfire.
Anyway, the emperor knew that Ba Ying was a spy sent into the palace by the King of Jin. Now that Ba Ying had caused this trouble again, it was impossible for her to pose any threat to him.
Why did she dirty her hands?
Xiao Zhouzi nodded: "Yes."
……
Jin Palace.
More than half a month has passed since Prince Jin was placed under house arrest.
Although he had been staying in Prince Jin's Mansion and had not gone out during this period, he was always paying attention to what was happening outside.
Judging from the time, his plan with Baharguli should have reached the final stage.
I just wonder if Concubine Chen will like this gift from him?
Prince Jin naturally knew that given his brother's love for Concubine Chen, he might not believe that Concubine Chen wanted to harm Baharguli's child.
But as long as Concubine Chen is tainted with this suspicion, when the Emperor wants to make her Imperial Concubine or even Empress in the future, this will become an indelible stain on her and the biggest obstacle for her to ascend to the throne!
Thinking of this, King Jin showed a complicated smile on his face: "Noble Concubine Chen, Noble Concubine Chen, this king admires ambitious women the most. You are indeed smart and capable, but it's a pity that you followed the wrong person..."
What the emperor's brother can give to Shen Zhinian, he can also give to her!
Although he blocked Concubine Chen's path to becoming the empress, when he ascends to that position in the future, he can still make her a concubine second only to the emperor!
Even the position of queen... is not a bad idea.
This can be considered as compensating her for what he owes her now.
As long as the woman is sensible enough by then.
Who knew that at this moment, the confidant walked in from outside with his head down, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, our hidden chess player in the palace has sent out news..."
The corners of King Jin's lips curled up slightly: "Speak."
He was really curious about how a woman like Concubine Chen would react when she was charged with the crime of murdering the royal heir.
Is it to argue with reason?
Or find evidence to exonerate yourself?
Or...with tears in her eyes, she begged her brother to believe her?
Thinking of the last possibility, King Jin's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The confidant made up his mind and said, "Ba Ying's plan failed, and she was outmaneuvered by Concubine Chen. His Majesty has stripped her of her title and demoted her to Ying..."
The slight smile on King Jin's face froze instantly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was dangerous: "What did you say?!"
The confidant immediately explained the whole story.
After hearing this, King Jin was furious: "Waste!"
But then, the expression on his face gradually changed slightly. From anger, it turned into a faint joy...
The Prince of Jin seemed to be talking to a confidant, or to himself: "I sent Baharguli to the palace because she and Concubine Chen were both very charming. Since my brother likes this type, she should be able to replace Concubine Chen."
"Now it seems... a fake is a fake. Ten thousand Baharguli are no match for Concubine Chen."
The confidant was confused.
Ba Da Ying is the one on their side, and Concubine Chen is the enemy!
If the prince knew about this, shouldn't he hate Concubine Chen? But from the prince's tone, it seems like he admires her...
He didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.
Prince Jin was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "...I remember that Concubine Chen's birthday is the seventh day of September?"
Every time the emperor's favorite concubine's birthday comes, countless ministers in the court want to send precious gifts to curry favor with her.
When is Shen Zhinian's birthday? It's no secret.
The confidant nodded and said, "Your Majesty, that's right."
Prince Jin didn't know what he was thinking of, and ordered, "Go and call Concubine Qi over."
"Yes."
Soon, Concubine Qi arrived.
She had a thick layer of powder on her face, as if she was trying to cover something up. Her face looked extremely pale, and under the candlelight, she looked even more like a ghost...
Concubine Qi looked at Prince Jin with a look of deep affection in her eyes and bowed: "I pay my respects to His Majesty."
