Chapter 642 Deliberate Seduction
Princess Yongning composed herself, entered Yuankang Palace, and finally found Concubine Rong in the small Buddhist hall.
Concubine Rong was concentrating on chanting sutras. She was only served by Aunt Qian. Apart from these two people, there was no third person.
Aunt Qian felt that there was a third person in the room. When she turned around, she saw Princess Yongning coming, and she hurriedly turned her ear to Princess Rong.
Concubine Rong's calm expression became warmer the moment she heard Princess Yongning. She put down her Buddhist scriptures and walked slowly towards Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning watched intently. After so many years, she still felt that Concubine Rong was the most elegant woman she had ever seen. She even walked so beautifully.
Even though the beauty has aged, Concubine Rong is still a unique presence in this palace.
After walking out of the small Buddhist hall, Princess Yongning asked: "Why is it that only Aunt Qian is waiting for you?"
This was the first time she came to Yuankang Palace after her imperial brother ascended the throne, but she never imagined that Yuankang Palace would become so deserted.
Concubine Rong took a look around and then said: "The Ai family likes to be quiet. There are few people, and there are few disputes. The Ai family are old people and don't like liveliness. If I am rich, I can take care of myself alone."
Princess Yongning looked at such a peaceful Concubine Rong, and it was hard to imagine that this could be the person who harmed her. Over the years, Concubine Rong treated her well, but she was not very close to her. However, whenever she felt unwell, Concubine Rong would
An imperial doctor will always be sent over as soon as possible.
If these are all concubine Rong's false feelings, then what else in this harem can be true?
"You child is relatively quiet today, but you have something on your mind?" Concubine Rong immediately noticed that something was wrong with Princess Yongning's mood.
Princess Yongning has been struggling for a long time. Now facing Concubine Rong, there are some things she still can't ask.
"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. To the Ai family, you are no different from the daughter of the Ai family." Concubine Rong looked at Princess Yongning with gentle eyes.
Princess Yongning had been holding back her words for a long time, but she finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Empress Dowager, I have something I have wanted to ask for a long time. Many years ago, I was rumored to be an unlucky person. Is it the Imperial Concubine who is behind this?
"
She had also doubted Concubine Rong, but she felt that she was not. But Qin Zhao's question was also her question. Could it be that Concubine Rong had harmed her and her mother behind her back?
Concubine Rong was not surprised when she heard Princess Yongning's question: "Thank you for holding on for so long before asking. The Ai family thought that you would never ask the Ai family this question."
The eldest princess Yongning was slightly excited: "Mother Princess, are you really trying to harm me behind my back? Then my mother..."
"Your mother had a haemorrhage and died in childbirth when she was giving birth to you. It is true that someone poisoned your mother. That person probably wanted to kill two people, but your child was destined to die. In the end, your mother was strong enough to give birth to you.
She passed away just now. Maybe there is something wrong with that person, so she still can't tolerate you, and targeted you frequently after you were born, until you moved from Cihe Palace to Yongningzhai." Concubine Rong interrupted Princess Yongning's words,
Looks indifferent.
Princess Yongning frowned: "Is she really not the concubine?"
"The Aijia can tell you very frankly that it was not the Aijia who killed your mother, and it is impossible for the Aijia to harm you." Concubine Rong's eyes were magnanimous.
Princess Yongning didn't know whether she should be relieved or disappointed.
She said hoarsely: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you..."
"It's normal for you to doubt the Ai family. All the grudges of the previous generation have passed. When the late emperor's mourning period has passed for a year, the Ai family will go to the emperor to request a marriage. The Ai family hopes that you will no longer need to observe filial piety and everything will go smoothly.
Get married and leave the palace."
Hearing what Concubine Rong said about the grudges of the previous generation, Princess Yongning was a little confused: "Does the empress know who the murderer is?"
Why does she feel that Concubine Rong has already made arrangements?
"If the Ai family knew who the murderer was, then things would be simple." Concubine Rong sighed softly.
When Princess Yongning saw what she said, she couldn't continue to ask further questions.
She sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, she looked back at Concubine Rong standing in front of the main hall, feeling particularly complicated.
Seeing her hesitating, Princess Rong waved her hand.
Princess Yongning then left Yuankang Palace.
Seeing that Princess Yongning was worried, Ju Yun asked, "Don't you believe Princess Rong?"
"It's not that I don't believe Concubine Rong, but I think Concubine Rong may know something. But Concubine Rong doesn't want to say it, so I can't do anything." Princess Yongning looked back in the direction of Yuankang Palace: "Yuankang Palace
It's not normal that only Aunt Qian is left to serve."
Since Concubine Rong decided to stay in the palace, why not make herself more comfortable?
In addition, Concubine Rong doted on King Lu very much. When King Lu went to the fiefdom, why did Concubine Rong stay in the harem and be separated from Queen Lu's mother and son?
"I feel that Concubine Rong is not hostile to the eldest princess, and it is impossible for Concubine Rong to harm the eldest princess. But Miss Qin deliberately seduced the eldest princess, and also deliberately led the eldest princess to doubt Concubine Rong. I wonder if there is something wrong with her.
Sinister purpose." Ju Yun said coldly: "Miss Qin has many tricks, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has to guard against her."
"What you say makes sense. I have never had any contact with her, but suddenly she came to Yongningzhai to find me. There must be some purpose." Princess Yongning and Ju Yun thought of something together.
Ju Yun thought for a while and then asked: "Then the eldest princess, do you want to go to Jinyang Palace and directly ask Miss Qin what her purpose is?"
"Do you think Miss Qin is Princess Rong? I have no friendship with Miss Qin, so I asked her this question abruptly. Do you think she will answer honestly?" Princess Yongning laughed at Ju Yun for being too naive.
Ju Yun was a little depressed: "I am curious about why Miss Qin deliberately seduced the eldest princess. I always feel that the woman has a bad heart and seems to have some shady purpose."
Princess Yongning actually had the same idea and was curious about the purpose of Qin Zhao's move?
She didn't believe that Qin Zhao cared about her.
When the eldest princess Yongning returned to Yongningzhai, a chamberlain came to her to report that Qin Zhao had been here for a quarter of an hour.
"She still dares to come to the door? The eldest princess will teach her a lesson later!" Ju Yun's face turned ugly when he heard that Qin Zhao was coming.
"Don't be indifferent! You can calm down later. I have taught you how to do it. You must remember that everything you say and do is related to Yongningzhai." Princess Yongning lowered her eyebrows coldly.
Qin Zhao, who was waiting in the main hall, heard the conversation between Princess Yongning and Ju Yun. She recalled the process of Princess Yongan's dealings with Princess Yongning a few years ago.
Facts have proved that Princess Yongning really cherishes feathers and pays special attention to her own reputation. Such people usually live a tiring life because they always care about the eyes of the world.
If it were her, she would only care about her own discomfort, how could she take other people's opinions into account in everything?
