When Jin Xin looked at her again, there was no warmth in her eyes, but she still had a smile on her face, saying, "Since you don't want to leave the palace, I can go back and report to the emperor. You go back and wait for the news. I will let you know." You will serve in the palace for the rest of your life."
When the magpie heard this, he kowtowed happily and said, "Thank you so much, my queen! I thank you so much!"
"Xiao Fuzi, send Miss Magpie out." Jin Xin said calmly.
Xiao Fuzi was the chief steward of Cheng'en Palace. He knew what his master meant with just one look. He sighed and stepped forward to invite the magpie to come forward.
When the magpie went out, Lianrong stepped forward angrily, "This little hooves is really restless, and he even dared to threaten the empress."
Jin Xin caressed her belly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Originally, he didn't want to take her life. After he was sent out of the palace, she would also give him a large sum of money. If she had to go through such trouble, she couldn't blame herself for being ruthless.
Half an hour later, Xiao Fuzi came back and whispered back, "My slave pushed her into the pool and threw her into the pool. It was done cleanly and no one saw it."
Jin Xin nodded. It was such a cold winter that someone would die if she slipped. She had no family, so naturally no one would ask.
When the aunt in charge was counting the people, she found that there was no magpie. She searched for a long time but could not find it. Because the magpie was afraid that others would find out that she came to see Concubine De Gui and involve her past affairs, so she came quietly. No one knew that she had been there. .
When the steward's aunt led people to search, they found the person by the river, and the matter was buried casually and the matter was over.
The palace was abuzz with excitement for a long time about the Queen's being lifted from the ban, and people were asking for confirmation. However, as a group of people went to the Central Palace to pay their respects to the Queen, everyone was sure that it was true.
This was the first time since the queen was lifted from the confinement that all the concubines paid their respects, and everyone came together.
The queen glanced at Jin Xin's belly, with mixed emotions in her eyes. Then she looked at Concubine Rong, who was caressing her belly lovingly, and felt even worse.
In fact, she could give birth to a healthy child, but she was too impatient. Now she is hurting her body, and the emperor may not be willing to touch her.
Jin Xin saw that the queen's hands were still wrapped with gauze. It seemed that she had really sought death. Her face was still a little pale. Even with makeup, she could tell that her complexion was unhealthy.
"I concubine, please be in peace with the Queen. May the Queen be blessed and safe." Everyone saluted together.
The queen immediately smiled and said, "All sisters are exempt from courtesy."
Everyone sat down, and the queen looked at Jin Xin, "Is Concubine De Gui's pregnancy almost six months old?"
"Return to your Majesty, exactly six months." Jin Xin stood up and replied.
"You don't have to get up, just sit down and answer." She said.
Jin Xin was not polite and sat back in her seat.
"In the past, I was ill and lived in seclusion in Kunning Palace. Now, I am in good health. You will hand over this palace phoenix seal to Kunning Palace tomorrow. You will also have peace of mind to raise your baby." The Queen said calmly smiled.
"What the queen said is that after I return, I will hand over the Phoenix Seal and the power of the middle palace to the queen." Jin Xin said warmly.
These words made the queen raise her eyebrows in surprise. How could it go so well?
Concubine Lan and Concubine Xuan were also surprised. They were ordered to co-manage the Sixth Palace, and they had a tacit understanding with Concubine De. Now that the rights were handed over to the queen, would their rights as co-managers also be returned?
Jin Xin then said, "I feel that Concubine Lan and Concubine Xuan are very skilled in coordinating the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Why don't we let them continue to share the Queen's worries? This can also share the Queen's hard work and let the young concubines learn more. What do you think?"
The queen frowned when she heard this, with an unkind look on her face, "I have made my own decisions on these matters, so Concubine De Gui doesn't need to worry about them."
Jin Xin quickly stood up and apologized again and again, "I am the concubine who talks too much. Please forgive me."
The queen withdrew her gaze coldly, "Although you are a noble concubine and used to be in charge of the harem, you are not justified in your reputation. Now that you are handing over the Phoenix Seal, you should also know your identity and propriety."
Jin Xin continued to plead guilty.
Concubine Lan and Concubine Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, but they could only sigh.
"I am not that unkind person. Since Concubine Lan and Concubine Xuan are the concubines appointed by the emperor to co-manage the Sixth Palace, I will naturally give you some advice."
Concubine Lan and Concubine Xuan hurriedly stood up to thank her, and at the same time cast grateful glances at Jin Xin.
The other concubines chatted for a while, but they really ran out of energy, so the queen asked people to come out.
When she walked out, Concubine Xuan was called back alone. Concubine Xuan was startled and glanced at Jin Xin. Jin Xin didn't know what the queen meant, but she didn't want to put pressure on Concubine Xuan and said, "Sister, go ahead, then. I will go back first."
Concubine Lan followed Jin Xin, sighing, and said with some yin and yang, "The queen was treated like that, and she was released. It seems that there is an aunt of the queen mother, but it is different. She can kill the prince easily. It’s enviable to escape.”
"The Lin family has a deep foundation after all. The emperor can't help but be wary of three points. He has no title but no mercy. She, the queen, must not be able to sit firmly in her seat." Jin Xin said lightly.
"But as long as the Queen Mother is alive, she will be able to sit securely. I just don't know that our lives will not be as comfortable as before." Concubine Lan sighed.
Jin Xin glanced at her, saw her sighing, and immediately smiled helplessly, "If she goes too far, the emperor won't tolerate her, so why should you worry."
"So what, she is still the queen. Look at her posture, I am afraid she will have to come to pay her respects every day in the future."
When Jin Xin was in charge of the harem, she did not ask them to greet her. Firstly, she had no energy due to her pregnancy, and secondly, it was not easy to use her rights to demonstrate. They came every once in a while, and these concubines were used to being lazy.
But it is etiquette to go to the Queen's Palace every day to say hello, and no one can say no.
Pregnancy can be exempted, but those who are not pregnant must come unless they are sick.
Jin Xin could understand her mood. Concubine Lan had always loved sleeping. She was reluctant to get in the presence of the emperor. She spent all day teasing the princess in her palace. She never liked to see people. She suddenly asked her to get up early every day to greet him. Listening to the queen talking about those insignificant things, she was naturally unhappy.
"Sister!" While the two were talking, Fangbi came in happily, so Jinxin had to slow down and walk in a row with her.
"Why doesn't Sister Lan Fei look so good? What's wrong?" Fang Bi asked with a smile.
Concubine Lan didn't guard her, and said helplessly, "From now on, we will have to go to the Central Palace to pay our respects every day. Can you be happy?"
After hearing this, Concubine Fang said, "The Queen looks very kind, but I think it's nothing."
Jin Xin looked at her sideways and frowned. Did Fangbi really not know how her sister died?
Although this matter was not investigated openly, the concubine should have secretly investigated her sister's death when she entered the palace. Someone as smart as Mrs. Liu, and her sister from the same mother, should not be so naive.
Jin Xin was willing to show kindness because she felt ashamed of Mrs. Liu, but in recent times, she had felt changes in her concubine. Although she was still enthusiastic, she liked to play sisters' tricks to find out things.
It happened too often, and Jin Xin became wary.
Concubine Lan continued to complain, so Jin Xin immediately said to her, "I'm afraid the second princess has waited for you for a long time, so go back quickly!"
When Concubine Lan heard this, she remembered it and said hurriedly, "Then I will go back to the palace first."
Seeing this, Fang Bi frowned slightly. When she looked at Jin Xin, her eyes became cold when she saw that she didn't wait for her.
The Queen Mother told her that it was Jiang Jinxin who drove her sister crazy. If not, how could her sister die so miserably!
She'll find proof.
