Chapter 261 Discovering Concubine Jing’s Secret
The queen asked worriedly: "Have you been...?"
Chu Qingwan shook her head and said that the imperial sister rescued her in time.
She also said that the man deserved to die for wanting to imprison her as a slave.
boom!
The queen threw the teacup and trembled with anger.
"I will tear him into pieces and kill all his clans."
"Mother, the Emperor is here."
The emperor looked at the two naked people and simply waved his hand to have them dragged away and cut into pieces, and then found a random crime to exterminate their entire clan.
"Let them both clean up. Tonight's coming-of-age banquet cannot be cancelled, otherwise it will be bad for the reputation of the two girls."
The queen glared at him, acting somewhat like a father.
There was some concern but not much, and only the reputation was considered, but no further care was given.
"Jiaojiao, can Yinyin participate like this?"
"It shouldn't take too long. Let the princess just show up at the banquet and then go back to rest. It shouldn't be a big deal."
There is no way, for women in ancient times, reputation was more important than life!
If the two princesses do not attend their coming-of-age banquets tonight, the officials will certainly make wild guesses, and some nosy people will even investigate privately.
If it was discovered that the two princesses had caught the concubines having an affair, their innocence would have been nearly tarnished.
As the rumor spread, it became a rumor that the two princesses' innocence had been tarnished, which would affect the reputation of the two princesses and the face of the royal family.
"Mother, I can do it." Chu Qingyin looked strong.
"But the wound on your head."
"It's okay, you can wear a wig."
"Leave it to me, I'll handle it."
Su Yujiao took out an integrated ancient costume wig and put it directly on her head, covering the gauze on her head.
Taking into account the injury on her head, the heavy golden crown and hairpins originally prepared for her were not worn, and instead some exquisitely crafted bridal headdresses were used to dress her up.
Although it is not as heavy as real gold and silver, and feels light when worn on the head, it is exquisite and gorgeous.
It doesn't look shabby or tacky, and is very suitable for a princess's status.
In addition, there were no lights as bright as daylight in ancient times, and the candlelight was dim. Without looking closely, who could see what the material was?
After the headdress was done, Su Yujiao personally helped Chu Qingyin put on delicate makeup. She looked very healthy, with rosy cheeks and not a single sign of illness.
"All right."
"Wow, my cousin's wife has really skillful hands. She can really turn something rotten into something magical."
"Cousin, can I dress like my younger sister?"
"of course can."
"It's done."
The two little princesses stood together, looking exactly the same, graceful and elegant. Su Yujiao felt as if her daughter had grown up.
The news in Concubine Chun's palace was completely blocked, and no one outside knew that such a thrilling thing had happened before the princess's coming-of-age banquet.
When the banquet began, Chu Qingyin held on for a while, then left due to feeling unwell.
Su Yujiao also followed to check the situation.
Although Chu Qingwan was worried about her sister, she couldn't leave the table.
Overall, the coming-of-age banquets for the two little princesses were a great success.
All the officials present praised the two little princesses for their natural beauty and elegance, and said a lot of nice things to them.
After the banquet, the queen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two little princesses finally survived this ordeal and no longer had to worry.
"Mother, do you want to take back those Buddhist beads?"
"Take it back. I'll take some time to listen to the latest secrets from each palace to prevent this from happening again."
"Especially those in Concubine Jing's palace, I will give priority to hearing them."
"Maybe, we can get some useful information."
The prince nodded and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."
The next day, the queen's health had obviously recovered a lot, so the prince took the opportunity to collect the Buddhist beads from each palace, saying that he would offer them in the temple and continue to pray for the queen.
"Mother, these are from Concubine Jing's palace. I have selected them for you."
"For the rest, I will instruct the people in the Dark Guard Battalion to listen."
"it is good."
[Peony, why are you so flustered? ]
[No, nothing!]
[There must be something wrong with you, otherwise why would you be so guilty? ]
[Aunt, I really didn't see anything.]
【What did you see? 】
【I didn't see anything.】
[This servant... This servant saw Concubine Jing's face... Ah...]
When the queen heard the screams, she was so scared that she dropped the Buddhist beads in her hand. Was the palace maid named Shaoyao killed?
What happened to Concubine Jing's face?
Why did the little palace maid get so scared that she dared not speak?
Why kill to silence the witness?
The queen picked it up and listened again. The palace maid named Shaoyao never spoke again, and it was basically confirmed that she had been killed.
The palace maid who asked the question was Aunt He Fang, who was the head aunt of Concubine Jing and also her confidant.
She must know some of Concubine Jing's secrets!
The queen picked up He Fang's Buddhist beads and listened to the recording again. He Fang cursed herself almost every day. Apart from that, it was just some trivial things in life and there was no useful information.
"Someone is coming."
"Go tell the spies in Concubine Jing's palace to keep a close eye on her, especially her face."
"Yes."
The Queen really couldn't figure out what secret was hidden on Concubine Jing's face?
Time flies, and three months have passed. It is the season when potatoes are ripe.
The prince was so happy when he saw the baskets of yellow, heavy potatoes.
The prince looked at the pile of potatoes and exclaimed excitedly, "I have never seen so much food in my life."
"These potatoes are enough to fill the entire treasury."
"Now, even if there is a real famine, the people will not starve to death."
Jin Mudan was also very happy. She didn't expect potatoes to be so productive. These potatoes must be enough to feed an entire army, right?
She did all this secretly. Mo Lingchen didn't know and never cared about the property in the princess's mansion.
"Ahem... Jiaojiao, how long can my body hold on?"
Jin Mudan's body was becoming thinner and thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, with sunken eye sockets and prominent cheekbones.
Su Yujiao couldn't help crying. She could diagnose that Jin Mudan really didn't have much time left.
She felt she had two or three months to live at most.
Jin Mu stretched out her dry hands to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, everyone will grow old, get sick and die one day, I have accepted it long ago."
"Every day you live is a day earned now."
"Jiaojiao, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to sell those potatoes. I want to leave them to you."
"When you sell it, save the money first. If one day Mo Lingchen is really sent to fight in the war, you can give him all the banknotes."
"I don't know if I can save him, but I tried my best."
"Well, you don't have to worry about these things. Leave them to me. The only thing you have to do now is to take care of your health."
Two days later, the news that Jin Mudan was seriously ill reached Concubine Jing's ears.
Concubine Jing came in person and looked at her daughter's terminally ill appearance with disbelief on her face.
"Why is this happening?"
"Where's the imperial doctor?"
"What's wrong with the princess? She was fine a few days ago. Why did she suddenly become so ill?"
Concubine Jing couldn't accept it. How could her daughter, who was so lively and energetic a while ago, be tortured by illness like this in just a few days?
