Zhou Taibin said: "I was worried about Huaichang, so I went to see her, but I heard two palace servants whispering in her palace..."
He said that Huaichang looked nothing like her, nor did he look like His Majesty, but more like a wet nurse.
A palace official said that Huaichang had a red mole on his left waist, and the wet nurse also had a red mole in the same position on her left waist.
Another palace man also said: "Yes, His Highness's eyebrows and eyes look exactly the same as those of the wet nurse, probably because they are often together?"
The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became. Thinking of some things in the past, she inevitably had doubts in her heart.
I wanted to check whether the wet nurse really had the red mole on her waist, but the wet nurse had been dragged out of the palace long ago.
She asked Mr. Zhou to ask, and he said that because he had a serious illness, he was burned and only ashes were left.
Strange things followed. Not long after Mr. Zhou went to check on the whereabouts of the wet nurse's body, the two palace attendants who were gossiping were transferred away.
One was transferred to Concubine Jiang's palace, but within two days he was beaten to death because of a mistake he made.
One was sent out of the palace when he reached an age and disappeared.
She herself fell ill again and became confused. By the time she got better, Huaichang had already taken control of her palace affairs.
All the palace servants she needed were replaced, and she had to listen to Huaichang in everything.
If something goes wrong, Huaichang will think of ways to torment her.
Once she asked Huaichang why he treated her like this, and Huaichang said that it was because she killed the wet nurse.
She also said that she only gave birth to herself and did not support herself. She had suffered enough anger in the palace and she had no right to ask herself to treat her well.
"To be honest with you, I only have one daughter. Although I have doubts in my heart, I am not sure.
She did suffer a lot of grievances by following the concubine. The concubine was often sick and could not take care of her, so she always thought about what if she was her biological child and was blamed by mistake."
Zhou Taibin began to cry: "It wasn't until the year before last that I felt that something was getting worse and worse. She was fine the first day, but she got sick when she said she was sick. When she got sick, she became delirious, so she allowed her to squeeze and round her."
The Zhou family also complained several times through others that Huaichang was unkind to them, but there was nothing she could do about it. If there was any slight change, Huaichang would immediately know about it, deal with it and warn her.
She said she would do whatever she wanted to the Zhou family, and at the same time, she would abuse her.
Queen Mother Shen was very angry when she heard this: "Why didn't you tell me?"
She thought to herself that she was quite generous and had never treated Zhou Taibi intentionally. However, Zhou Taibi had always kept such a big matter a secret and never let the slightest light on her.
"The concubine has no ability, the concubine is guilty...but what can the concubine do?"
Zhou Tai concubine cried aggrievedly: "I said that the princess might be fake and might have been replaced. Who would believe it? I'm afraid everyone will think that the concubine is crazy, right?
She is living a prosperous life again, and is at home in this palace like a fish in water. The Empress Dowager relies on her, you love her, the Empress has a good relationship with her, even the priest's wife is worthy of her sister, and His Majesty also praises her for her benevolence and filial piety.
It doesn’t matter if I die, but when I think of such a big family and that child who doesn’t know whether he’s alive or dead, I don’t dare to die!”
It was after Princess Huaichang's accident that she knew that Mu Yunhan and Princess Huaichang were incompatible, so she dared to take the opportunity to make that hint.
"The medical elder said that my concubine's illness is not that simple. Someone did it deliberately, and it was them!"
Empress Dowager Shen let out a long sigh, looking at Concubine Zhou's appearance, she felt that she was really pitiful and hateful.
Seeing that they had finished talking, Mu Yunhan reminded: "My Lady, it's time to let Huaichang enter the palace."
