Chapter 449: Happy (2)
In the Eastern Palace, the prince's eyes were closed, and the queen sat beside the prince, with a look of worry and anxiety. The prince was seriously injured, and the people in the Imperial Hospital said that he was unable to turn things around. Now it is time to end his journey. Although the prince has not been favored for so many years, the queen also knows that the emperor is not completely ruthless to the prince. Now this happened when he goes out to hunt the royal family. Even though the queen doesn't care about the affairs of the harem for many years, she can't help but be angry.
The emperor now had a rift with her, so he would have to find out the person behind the scenes to let it go. In the queen's opinion, although Xuan Pei is valued by the emperor now, he has no support from his mother, and he is young, so he is not very alert to him. However, Xuan Li and Xuan Hua, Concubine Chen and Concubine De, fought with her all their lives, but now these two young people don't even let go of the prince's life, and one of them must have done the tricks.
Just as she was thinking, she heard the eunuch coming to report that Jiang Dan came to see the prince. The queen turned around and Jiang Dan had already met him. She looked at the pale prince on the couch, held the queen's hand, and said, "Empress, Your Highness, the auspicious person and heavenly appearance will be safe and sound. In the past few days, my concubines have been praying for Your Highness in the palace in the Buddhist temple, hoping that he will get better soon. Dajinchao will not lose Your Highness in the future."
She looked sincere, and her words were thoughtful. Praying for blessings was easier said than done, especially in this harem with open and secret arrows. Women were eager for the prince to give up his position if something happened to him, so they would not think of praying for the prince. When the queen heard this, she felt good about Jiang Dan. Since entering the palace, Jiang Dan has been very appropriate in doing things, neither invited favor nor earned merit, and is humble and kind. The queen treated her as her own person and said, "You have the heart. What the future of the Dajin Dynasty? I am now only hoping that he can heal well. If anyone wants to take the position of the prince, just take it. It saves people from being plotted against even their lives."
When the queen said this, she couldn't help but feel angry and complained in her tone. Obviously, she had complaints about the emperor taking the prince out and the prince out of the matter. Jiang Dan was stunned and then said, "Empress Do not say that, the prince will be fine. Besides, the person behind the scenes has not been caught yet, and the queen will always avenge the prince."
The queen seemed to be reminded by Jiang Dan and said, "That's right, you're right. I will avenge the emperor. Who made him like this? I will definitely ask him to repay a thousand times more." After that, I looked at Jiang Dan and said, "I know you were there that day, but did you see anything abnormal?"
Jiang Dan was stunned, then waved his hand, as if he had remembered something, dodged the queen's gaze, and stuttered: "No, no."
The queen frowned, and Jiang Dan's appearance was really suspicious. She was just asking casually, because Jiang Dan was also on the hunting ground that day, but Jiang Dan's reaction in front of her showed that she probably knew something, and there must be something strange. The queen grabbed Jiang Dan's hand, grabbed her hand very close, and said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, don't be afraid of anything. If something happens, I will take care of you. As long as you tell me who is trying to harm the prince?"
Jiang Dan let her hold her hand, and finally sighed softly and said, "Empress, I shouldn't have said these things. But since I entered the palace, the Empress has treated me very well. Besides, the Crown Prince is sincere and unconscious. I have indeed seen some things and can't stand it in my heart. No matter what the result is, I will recognize you. Empress, even if you kill His Highness the Crown Prince, even His Majesty wants to let him three feet, so that he will be so unscrupulous."
"Who is it?" When the queen heard this, she couldn't help it, and she felt that her teeth were about to be broken.
"King Jinying."
King Jinying? The expression on the queen changed a few times. King Jinying, she was never stranger to this name. From marrying into the royal family, becoming the queen, and then slowly being neglected, she finally became a nameless person in the harem. King Jinying's name has always been known to the queen. At the beginning, she saw something happened to the Jinying Mansion, and thought that the royal family would be uprooted, but for some reason the emperor had a kind heart and even left Xiao Shao a life. Not only that, in future affairs, the emperor even helped Xiao Shao reuse him, and even Empress Dowager Yide showed a different attitude towards Xiao Shao.
The queen has been in the palace for many years and has been married to the emperor for so many years. She is not a fool. Naturally, she can understand that there must be some reasons. However, she was smart and did not ask too much. The royal affairs have their own reasons. But now when Jiang Dan heard that King Jinying was the culprit of the prince, the queen was still a little unbelievable. She didn't hate Xiao Shao very much because Xiao Shao has been neutral in the court. When the ministers began to stand in line with Xuan Li and Xuan Hua, only Xiao Shao vaguely revealed that he was standing on the side of the prince.
Since Xiao Shao is standing on the side of the prince, why would he attack the prince again? The queen frowned and said, "How could it be him?"
Seeing the doubt in the queen's eyes, Jiang Dan said: "I think that it was because Prince Jinying's mansion had been following the rules for so many years. There was no reason to harm His Highness, but..." Jiang Dan said this and stopped, looking at the prince on the couch. Seeing this, the queen said anxiously: "But what, what do you have to say boldly, I know in my mind. If something really happened, my sect was not completely incompetent in front of the emperor."
Any woman will never remain indifferent when her child is injured. The queen is a queen, but before that, she was first a mother. She could have been jealous of the harem for so many years, but could not tolerate her flesh and blood being plotted against. She really found the person behind her, and she really fought for her own life, and the queen wanted to avenge the prince.
"King Jinying doesn't know, but I know that Princess Jinying and His Thirteenth Highness have a very good relationship." Jiang Dan said slowly.
"Hong'an?" The queen was puzzled. Princess Jinying was Princess Hong'an. The queen had no special feelings for Jiang Ruan at first, but once the prince even mentioned Jiang Ruan in front of her for the first time, saying that she was an interesting woman. Later, when she went to Queen Mother Yide's place, she had the opportunity to meet several times. I remember that she was a quiet and gentle woman, and she was very beautiful, but the frivolous aura in her beauty was suppressed and she didn't show any of it. At this age, it was already very rare. So the queen couldn't help but take a few more glances. She felt that Jiang Ruan was still good.
