The fifth prince born to the queen seemed to be a normal child, but he seemed to be uncoordinated. Since he was seven years old, he began to see little signs. He gradually lost the ability to control one hand. In the past, it was just the fingers of his right hand that could not listen. Then it was just a palm, and now I can't use my whole arm. It's so limp that I can't hold a pen or pick up chopsticks.
The imperial doctor couldn't diagnose the problem, but as he grew taller, his right hand had no flesh on it, which looked very strange. He wore loose clothes to hide the problem.
Seeing her son like this, the queen gave up her thoughts of letting him compete for the throne and instead fully supported Prince Rui.
It is precisely because of this that the queen married Concubine Lin to Prince Rui.
It was just that she gave Concubine Lin a lot of advice, but she didn't expect that she would not pay attention to her words.
"Didn't you find out before that the Jiang sisters were at odds? Do you know why the Jiang family was banned?" the queen asked again.
Prince Rui did not report this matter back to the palace. After all, Prince Rui was separated from him and did not report everything to him.
Concubine Lin really didn't know, so she could only shake her head, "Concubine Jiang's food was poisoned earlier, maybe it was because of this."
When the queen heard this, she felt that it was not serious and shook her head, "Prince Rui is cautious. Even if it is poisoning, it will not hurt Jiang Jin's heart after all. Prince Rui will not ground him for this matter. After you return to the palace, you will find a way to find out." , if you can use this matter to make Prince Rui decide to destroy her, your good days will come."
Concubine Lin nodded happily after hearing this.
The aunt and nephew talked for a while, and waited until the maid came to announce that all the officials and ladies from outside had arrived, and then the queen went out.
Jin Xin was placed in the corner, and a nun was assigned to take care of her. Jin Xin felt extremely uncomfortable, but she could only endure it.
After everyone was seated, Jin Xin was sent to King Rui.
On the left and right of Prince Rui were Jin Xin and Concubine Lin. After having a heart-to-heart talk with the queen, Concubine Lin seemed to be much more sensible. Seeing Prince Rui taking care of Jin Xin at the banquet, Concubine Lin was not as sinister as she was before she came. , but took great care of Jin Xin.
This change surprised Jin Xin.
At the table, the two women beside Prince Rui were both very eye-catchingly beautiful, attracting even more attention.
Looking at the dishes in front of her, Jin Xin really lost her appetite. She retched a few times and forced down the nausea. The more she felt like this, the more unbearable it became.
Prince Rui gently stroked her back, "If you are really feeling unwell, I will ask you to go back to the side hall to rest."
Jin Xin took a deep breath and nodded. She really couldn't bear the smell. Rather than losing her composure in front of the emperor, she might as well take advantage of this excuse to take a rest.
When he walked to the corridor, he saw Mrs. Jiang standing on the edge and called her.
Jin Xin looked over and saw that her expression was still arrogant and condescending, as if she thought she was still the Marquis Qi Yuan who was in charge of the life and death of herself and her mother.
The nanny and two maids were waiting behind her. The nanny was ordered to take care of her, so naturally she would not leave her even half a step.
Her mission was to take care of Jin Xin and the child in her belly. If something went wrong, her life would not be saved.
Jin Xin walked forward, looked at Mrs. Jiang, and called her mother. Mrs. Jiang disliked being called that by Jin Xin, but since the palace people were here, she would not refute it.
"I have something to tell you. Can you please excuse me?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Xin looked at Aunt Xiu as if asking for advice. Aunt Xiu's face was pale and expressionless, "I have been ordered to serve Concubine Jiang and cannot leave even half a step away."
Jin Xin nodded, looked at Mrs. Jiang, and said, "This is Aunt Xiu who came to take care of my daily life on the order of the Queen. She is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, mother, please tell me."
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's expression became cold and she looked at Aunt Xiu, "Please make it easier for me. If my face doesn't work, I can ask the Queen Mother for permission to come again."
After hearing this, Aunt Xiu's face became cold for the first time, but she didn't say anything. She stood ten steps away, her eyes not leaving Jin Xin for a moment, her attitude was very clear, she would not give in anymore.
Mrs. Jiang didn't hesitate, since she couldn't hear it anyway.
"Do you have any way to save the princess from being grounded?" Mrs. Jiang asked first.
"Madam, don't you know why the princess was grounded? She persecuted all the prince's children. This angered the prince, so she was grounded. Three children died in the hands of the princess. The prince did not divorce his wife and return home. I am worried about the Queen Mother, how can I save her?"
"Aren't you pregnant with a child now? You made an excuse, asked a mage to come in, and said that the child's fetal spirit was weak and it would be difficult for him to be born in this world. He was supposed to be reincarnated in the belly of the royal concubine, but he got into you by accident. The belly of the princess needs to live under the same roof with the princess. After the birth, if the baby is raised in her name, it will be regarded as being reincarnated into the belly of the princess to save her life. As long as you are willing to let go, I will arrange the rest. ." Mrs. Jiang whispered, with an attitude that could not be refused.
After hearing this, Jin Xin almost sneered, but her face remained calm and she didn't reply.
Mrs. Jiang had already thought of a countermeasure, and had even laid out a plan for robbing the child in the future.
If she agreed, she would be extremely stupid.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang still thought she was the lowly concubine struggling to survive in the backyard.
"Why don't you speak?" Mrs. Jiang asked her with a frown.
"I don't agree," she said.
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her expression immediately changed. She held her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't forget, your mother and younger brother are still in my hands. If you dare not agree, I will find an excuse when you go back." Execute them.”
Jin Xin's hand hurt from being grabbed. Aunt Xiu immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed over. Only then did Mrs. Jiang let go of her.
Jin Xin gritted her teeth and looked at Mrs. Jiang, very angry. Her skin was fair and scars were easily visible. Mrs. Jiang was wearing two rings on her hands, and there were bruises on her wrists.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang's expression returned to normal and she said, "Don't forget what mother just said. Take care of yourself and don't worry about everything at home."
After saying that, he left.
"Concubine Jiang, are you okay?" Aunt Xiu asked worriedly.
Her worries were not false. If something happened, her whole family would die.
Jin Xin shook her head, but frowned.
Mrs. Jiang is so shameless, she is forcing herself to do evil.
The side hall rested for who knows how long. After the palace banquet, someone came to tell Jin Xin to follow them out of the palace. Prince Rui was already waiting for her.
Concubine Lin followed Prince Rui shyly. When she saw Jin Xin coming out, she stepped forward with a smile, "Sister Jin Xin, you didn't see it just now. The majestic appearance of the prince dancing his sword in front of the palace won a lot of applause, and the emperor even praised him. The prince has both civil and military skills, as well as talent and beauty."
Jin Xin looked at Prince Rui, perhaps because of the emperor's praise. Prince Rui's brows were filled with high ambition.
Indeed, among the several princes, only Prince Rui is good at martial arts and archery. He has even been on the battlefield and achieved military exploits. In the past few years, he has been staying in the capital for political affairs and has never slacked off in practicing martial arts. With his tall and tall figure, he is naturally Attracting the attention of countless girls.
