The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(217)

That year at Qianxi Wusuo, Prince Jin met Prince Qing again. Prince Qing was just like he said, hiding in a corner with his head covered and crying, and he didn't even dare to cry loudly.

Chapter 165

Prince Qing cried for a long time and said a lot.

From beginning to end, Prince Jin just listened without saying anything.

He was not a person who could persuade others. Besides, he was not young anymore, and he should know what was right and what was wrong.

Prince Jin left the palace and just patted Prince Qing on the shoulder before leaving.

Lanzhu was not dead yet. When she left Prince Qing before, she was taken away by Emperor Hongjing's people. Now she was sent back with her last breath.

Her clothes were soaked with blood, which made it hard to imagine that a person could bleed so much.

Prince Jin glanced at her and was about to order someone to carry her away, when Lanzhu suddenly moved. Just like a dead body, it seemed that she was unwilling to die like this and wanted to make some powerless struggles.

"Don't, don't forget what you promised me!"

"You seem to care about that child, why didn't you take him away before?"

Lanzhu took a breath. It was very difficult for her to speak at this time. "People like us, such as us, are in danger from day to day. Staying in the king's mansion is good for him. I, I am, I am lucky to get such a task, I live longer, no, otherwise I might have died earlier..."

Prince Jin was silent.

Lanzhu's pupils slowly expanded, and her consciousness began to become unclear: "Don't forget...what you promised me..."

"Is that child the seventh child's?" Prince Jin asked suddenly.

Lanzhu's pupils suddenly tightened to the size of a needle tip, and then suddenly expanded. There was a sound stuck in her throat, but she was destined to never make any sound again. Her hand was half raised in the air, and after a breath or two, it fell to the ground with a snap.

The King of Jin frowned and looked at her. After a long while, he said, "Take her away first, and don't deal with the body yet."

The King of Jin left the palace and went directly back to the King of Jin's Mansion. He originally planned to go to the King of Qing's Mansion, but he really didn't have the mood at this time.

Back to Rongxi Courtyard, Yao Niang was sitting on the kang to play with three children.

As soon as she saw the King of Jin coming back, Yao Niang hurriedly got off the kang.

"How is the matter with the seventh brother?"

"Father plans to let him guard the imperial mausoleum."

After that, the King of Jin told the whole story. Yao Niang couldn't come back to her senses for a long time after listening, including Xiao Bao.

That Han Concubine was an imposter? But why didn't she sneak away in the last life? Xiao Bao immediately understood that the trajectory of this life was different from the previous life. In the 32nd year of Hongjing in the previous life, there was a great chaos. His father ascended the throne the following year. Among the kings, except for King An, King Qing, King Lu, and King Wu, all others died in the 32nd year of Hongjing.

Without coercion, Concubine Han could not be forced to flee, and the matter was naturally not exposed. So the person who knew Concubine Han's identity and coerced her should be among the other dead princes.

Xiaobao subconsciously thought of Prince Yong, but then he felt that it was not the case. In the past 32 years, Prince Yong has played such a big chess game, how could he have extra thoughts on a small Korean spy.

While Xiaobao was thinking about this, Prince Jin was also thinking.

He also subconsciously thought of Prince Yong, but felt that this was not the work of Prince Yong. There was no other reason, he had always ordered people to keep a close eye on Prince Yong, and if there was any unusual movement, they should have received the news long ago.

Who is it then?

Could it be Prince Lu?

Prince Jin suddenly said, "Go and get the map."

After he said that, no one responded, and he remembered that Fucheng was sent out by him to do something. But there was also Yao Niang, who knew that Prince Jin had a map in the study here, so she went to the study in person and brought the map over.

The map is made of sheepskin, made with special technology, and can be guaranteed not to weather or fade for a hundred years. The background color is light yellow, and various graphics and symbols are marked on it, but Yao Niang can't understand it anyway.

She helped King Jin spread the map on the kang table, and King Jin's eyes were on a place in the upper right corner. He looked at that place, and then looked at the place on the left near Goryeo, where the word "Dai" was written.

Yes, the fief of King Dai is near Goryeo.

While King Jin was looking at the map, Xiaobao was also looking at it.

It is impossible for the King of Goryeo to let Concubine Han assist someone for no reason. There must be an interest involved with him, and this person is from Daqian, or one of the princes, so there is no one else except the King of Dai.

Because only the close interest relationship can make the King of Goryeo reveal the nails he has buried for a long time without hesitation.

King of Dai?

The King of Dai who is moderate, taciturn, and usually inconspicuous.

In fact, if you think about it, it is normal for them to have thoughts since they are both legitimate sons of the empress. In this game, Prince An was deposed and Prince Qing was harmed at the same time. However, harming Prince Qing was not the main purpose, and the main purpose was probably Prince Jin.

What the other party probably didn't expect was that Prince Jin did not do anything in this matter because of Sun Mang's awakening. If he did, it would be found out with Emperor Hongjing's character. Even if Emperor Hongjing did not get angry at that time, he would have left an impression of framing his brothers in his heart.

When people get older, their mood will be completely different from before. While Emperor Hongjing was guarding against his sons, he still hoped that the brothers could live in harmony. This can be seen from what Emperor Hongjing said when the kings gathered in the capital to celebrate his birthday.

What a deep mind, what a deep plot!

King Jin, who had figured out the key points, felt a cold sweat running down his face.

Because among all the kings, if he had never taken precautions, it would probably be this most ordinary third brother.

Fucheng walked in and reported: "Your Highness, when I arrived at the Qing Palace, Fuxi had already committed suicide by taking poison."

King Jin was not surprised by this result. He knew it would be this result since he guessed that there was the shadow of King Dai behind Concubine Han. With King Dai's cautious character, he would definitely not leave any handle.

"Did the child see it?"

Fucheng paused and shook his head.

Yao Niang was a little unhappy and asked: "What kind of riddle are you playing? Why can't I understand it?"

If you can understand it, it's not a riddle.

"Brother Sheng doesn't have a mole behind his ear." King Jin said, and Fucheng nodded beside him.

Yao Niang was still thinking about the mole, but Xiaobao had already understood it. He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth after understanding it. It wasn't until Yueyue asked, "Brother Xiaobao, do you want to eat?"

Erbao also came up and touched his mouth, and he didn't react.

At this time, Erbao had already put his little finger into his brother's mouth, digging and digging inside. Xiaobao was hurt by the digging, and suddenly closed his mouth, which scared Erbao.

It seemed to be thinking, where are my fingers? Erbao was stunned for a while, and then he howled with a roar.

It was earth-shattering!

Then Yao Niang didn't care about being surprised by what she thought of in her mind, and picked up Erbao. Erbao came to his mother's arms, rubbed his face on Yao Niang's chest with grievance, and then pointed at Xiaobao.

"Did Erbao say that his brother bullied you?"

How could a child of this age understand this? He only knew that his mother was talking about his brother. Seeing Xiaobao's embarrassed face, Erbao immediately laughed, showing his teeth and not his eyes.

Xiaobao glared at Erbao, "Xiao Chou Chou!"

Xiao Chou Chou knew that this was talking about himself, and he responded with an oh and laughed. Then Xiaobao was also amused by his stupid brother, and Yueyue even laughed to the side.

"Erbao brother is so stupid, Xiaobao brother is scolding you."

Yao Niang put Erbao back to Xiaobao, and then asked: "That means Shengge'er is not the seventh brother's child, then whose child is this? Your Highness, how did you know that it was Concubine Han who said that Fucheng should go to see the red mole behind Shengge'er's ear? Why is she so stupid to bring up such a thing?"

Concubine Han is of course not stupid, but when King Jin heard her say that she felt sorry for King Qing, his smile was a little strange, so he couldn't help but pay attention, and then he saw Concubine Han repeatedly reminding him to keep his word.

When a person is about to die, his words are good, this sentence is not very suitable to be put here. But when a person is dying, the more she worries about something, the more she can't let it go.

It stands to reason that Concubine Han should not behave like this. The royal family is different from ordinary people. As long as it is a royal heir, even if the child's mother is a palace maid, a person of very humble status, it will not affect the future title and wealth.

Just like Prince Qing, Emperor Hongjing did hate him, but he was crowned as a king and had all the status he deserved.

But Concubine Han was very anxious.

It happened that Prince Jin knew about the red mole, so he asked Fucheng to take a look while he was doing his work.

Facts have proved that there are indeed many things that only people dare not think about, but no one dares not do.

"Didn't your majesty have someone check it? I remember you said that Xiaobao was taken to see him." Yao Niang said.

Prince Jin didn't say anything, which was probably because Prince Qing was not valued. Emperor Hongjing didn't even want to see Prince Qing, let alone Prince Qing's son.

"This Concubine Han is so bold that she dared to steal someone."

Prince Jin looked at Yao Niang, and he was talking, so why did he look at him?

He narrowed his eyes, and Yao Niang immediately smiled ingratiatingly.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi also walked in. He was also ordered by Prince Jin to do things.

"Your Highness, I asked a female doctor to look at the body. She said that this woman had never given birth."

Yao Niang's eyes lit up, and she understood what Xiao Shunzi meant.

As she was, someone had been helping her take care of her before and after giving birth, and there are still a few faint bright white lines on her belly. Yao Niang has seen the bellies of several women, her mother, Zhu, and her sister. The lines on those who have not been specially cared for are more obvious.
