Concubine Hui had always been weak. Back then, Chu Shen was born less than a month old. Not long after he was born, because he didn't cry, fuss, and didn't drink milk, people thought he would die young. If the nanny Zhou hadn't used native methods to save him, Hui would have died at an early age.
Concubine Hui went there early in the morning with her baby. Concubine Hui had no milk, and Xiao Shen was a very picky baby. He would not drink milk from anyone. Asking him to drink milk was like killing him. Later, he was not given milk.
Zhou received it obediently.
Xiao Shen and the nanny have a good relationship, and the nanny Zhou can be regarded as a man who has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Everyone in the Zhou family has been given official and semi-official positions in the light of the nanny. On this occasion of Zhou's birthday, the emperor brought the imperial concubine and the regent with him. It was simply
It gave the Zhou Mansion enough face, and officials of all sizes stepped on the threshold of the Zhou Mansion to give gifts. It also made everyone in the Zhou Mansion proud and deeply felt the divine grace.
He found a clean and secluded wing in the backyard, and the emperor talked with Mr. Zhou alone.
Zhou said: "Back then, the late emperor left a piece of jade pendant, and each of you gave half of it to your brothers. I wonder if the emperor still remembers it. The emperor once lost this half piece of jade pendant when he was young, and he was scolded by Concubine Hui for this matter.
Got it."
"I seem to have some impression."
"I heard from Concubine Hui that on the night of dystocia, she kept holding on to the half of the jade pendant until the child was born. Concubine Hui glanced at him in confusion, put the jade pendant on him, and then passed out.
When she woke up again, she heard Dr. Zhong say that the young prince had died early. The empress felt great grief and fainted several times. Later, she became confused and probably forgot about the jade pendant. The emperor mentioned it like this, as a token,
This jade pendant should be the best token."
Zhou stood up, took out a black wooden box from the cabinet, opened it and took out half a jade pendant and handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it happened to be a coincidence. When I went to the market some time ago, I saw it in a jade shop and bought it. At this moment
It just happened to be returned to its original owner. It must have been stolen by some bold slave many years ago and wandered among the people."
"Nanny, you really did me a great favor."
Zhou smiled gently and said, "Why did the Emperor think of investigating this matter? It has been so many years since it happened, and even if you want to, there is no way to investigate."
"The wet nurse must have heard about the death of Dr. Zhong in front of Chengde Gate."
Zhou nodded and said suddenly, "Does the Emperor think that the young prince was not dead at all?"
"This matter is of great importance. Before I find out, I hope the nanny will keep this secret from me."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't tell you a word." Mrs. Zhou looked solemn, then paused and said, "In fact, I was quite strange back then. At that time, the imperial doctor Zhong used the excuse that the mother was having a difficult delivery and the fetus was about to be lost.
All the other people were invited out of the house, and Imperial Doctor Zhong and the midwife were the ones who delivered the baby. Concubine Zhuang was about to give birth right next door."
"Concubine Zhuang is next door?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Maybe Your Majesty was young at the time and couldn't remember clearly, but I remember it very clearly. Concubine Zhuang often came to see Concubine Hui at that time. Not long after Concubine Hui took action, Concubine Zhuang was about to give birth. But
At that time, due to lack of manpower, there was no time to call for the imperial doctor and midwife, so Concubine Zhuang asked her personal eunuch, Eunuch Hai, and her maid, Xiangxue, to deliver the baby. Later, she successfully gave birth to a lovely little prince."
Chu Shen clenched his fist. The truth was almost coming to the surface, just a little bit. He needed to go to the room where his mother-in-law gave birth.
"Thank you, nanny." I have gained a lot today, and it was indeed a worthwhile trip.
"It is a blessing for me to be able to share my worries with the Emperor." Mrs. Zhou smiled warmly and raised her hand to caress the Emperor's hand. Over the years, the Emperor has been caring and filial to her like a mother. With a son like this, what else could she ask for in this life?
.This Zhou family is right
The emperor was extremely loyal, and it was precisely because she was upright and courageous that she taught a loyal family, and all her descendants were outstanding. From now on, everyone in the Zhou family will be rare virtuous and loyal ministers of the emperor. This is
Skip the rest of the story.
On the way back, Qin'er felt that the emperor's face was a little gloomy, so she couldn't help but snuggle into his arms and said, "Your Majesty, you are not happy."
"If there is someone around you who looks sanctimonious on the outside, but is extremely evil on the inside. You always thought that she was a good, kind, and respectful person who followed the rules, but you didn't expect that she kept toying with you. How would you deal with her?"
"Is that person very close to the emperor?" Qin'er blinked.
Chu Shen sighed helplessly and nodded.
"Then it depends on what the emperor is thinking. Whether the emperor wants to punish her or let her go, it all depends on the emperor's thoughts. If it is not a big mistake, there is no need to punish her severely. She must be spared and spared.
People, you might as well accumulate some virtue for your prince."
"But that is an unforgivable crime." He pressed her forehead and touched her belly with one hand.
"The Emperor has already made up his mind, hasn't he."
The car stopped at Biyun Palace.
Qin'er looked up at the Phoenix Palace, which was her first time there. The Biyun Palace had been vacant for a long time, but it was renovated once every three years and was cleaned very clean and organized.
This is where Concubine Hui lived during her lifetime, and where the late emperor stayed for 360 days a year.
Chu Shen hugged her and stopped in front of a wing.
She saw a seal on the door and was quite surprised, "Where is this place and why is there a seal?"
"This was originally my mother's dormitory. It was here that my mother gave birth to my imperial brother. My father thought this room was unlucky and almost burned it down. Later, my mother dissuaded me and put a seal on it, and my mother moved from here.
Yuan moved out and went to Nanyuan."
Chu Shen stepped forward and opened the door, and a musty smell hit his nose.
"Stay at the door." He shook her little hand and walked in to check.
The room was covered with cobwebs and dust. Chu Shen pushed open the back window of the room with some force and took a look outside. He saw that the window next to him was only two feet away, and he could deliver the baby back and forth with just a lift of his hand.
Chu Shen sighed. It is true that everything has a certain destiny. His wise father could be so confused and never doubted the origin of the stillborn child. He was so concerned that he would be confused. Such a smart person, once his mother's affairs are involved,
You will be completely confused and lose your thinking.
Qin'er walked in holding her nose, "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
"I've read everything I want to see, and I know everything I want to know. Let's go back." He hugged her and went out with her.
"Where are you going, Emperor?"
"Jinghe Palace." Chu Shen shook her hand.
Qin'er frowned, but said nothing.
Chu Shen went out and told Ling Gong fairly, "Go and invite the regent into the palace, to Jinghe Palace."
