When Gu Zhao heard this, he immediately said, "I went to Yongsheng Gambling House a few days ago. I think the person behind the gambling house is King He An. Maybe they really did this."
Now, Jin Xin was even more sure.
It seems that King He An is definitely in cahoots with Concubine Shun.
"Gu Zhao, you have to make some plans. I'm afraid that when you and Prince An enter the palace tonight, you are going to plan something."
If this is the case, the reason for An's death can basically be determined.
Concubine Shun was known to have the handle, and her collusion with them was unknown.
After they left the palace, Jin Xin returned to Kunning Palace late at night.
Tomorrow morning, she will naturally leave the palace to keep vigil for her mother. No matter how noble her status is, she must fulfill her filial piety for her mother and see her mother off for the last time.
In Kunning Palace, Jin Xin looked numb, Cuigu came in and undressed her.
When she got up early in the morning, she left Cuigu in the palace and took Rainbow out of the palace.
But she couldn't stay outside the palace overnight and had to come back at night.
For three days, she returned every day. After Shou arrived for burial, Jin Xin fell ill.
She had a fever for three days and it wouldn't go away. She was so feverish that she was talking nonsense and crying for her mother all day long. The emperor came several times. Seeing how sad she was, she blamed him for refusing to help her when she was confused by the fever.
After learning that she was getting better, she never came again.
As for the matter of going to the Dabie Mountains, the emperor left it to Concubine Lan and Concubine Shun to be responsible for it.
We set off on the third day of September.
When Jin Xin got better, it was already August 28th.
After hearing the news, she didn't feel much ups and downs.
Concubine Shun is really getting more and more favored.
It is still unclear whether she is involved with Prince He'an's palace, but someone outside the palace has given Jin Xin news that Prince He'an will also participate in the autumn hunt this year.
The movements were so frequent, didn't the emperor notice at all?
Cuigu said that he came to see her during the days when she was confused by illness. When she recovered from her fever, he avoided her again.
Without asking what he meant, he left Concubine Shun and Concubine Lan to take charge of Qiu Lie's affairs.
Jin Xin has been ill these past few days, and Hong'er has stayed with her all day. He only went to class for half a day and stopped going in the afternoon. In the past two days, he took the first leave and stayed at Kunning Palace all day.
At this moment, a soup and medicine were actually delivered. Jin Xin felt a lot warmer when she saw her son being so considerate.
"Hong'er has grown up and can take care of his mother." Jin Xin touched Hong'er's head, and her gloomy mood finally improved.
"Mother, Hong'er feels that it is not right for my father to hurt your heart, so Hong'er can only do these things for my father to make my mother happy."
At such a young age, his face is somewhat mature.
"Hong'er, you don't need to bear anyone's mistakes to do these things, and Mother doesn't need you to embarrass yourself like this. You don't understand adults' things yet. You just need to grow up well and do your part. It’s just to give my mother some credit.”
Cui Gu said that Hong'er was frightened in those days. It was the first time he saw his mother so seriously ill, and saw his mother running around for her grandmother's affairs. Her father's cruelty and Jin Xin's serious illness made a lively boy, a The aura disappeared in the afternoon.
How could Jin Xin not feel distressed?
He had just celebrated his sixth birthday, and it seemed that all of a sudden the babyishness in him was gone, replaced by a pretended maturity, and his eyes were much firmer.
He is forcing himself to grow up and protect his mother.
How could she let Hong'er embarrass herself like this?
"You must not have had a good rest these past few days. You should go back and have a good rest. Your mother is fine now. Don't delay your homework."
Hong'er nodded, "Mother, you drink the medicine first. After drinking the medicine, your son will go to rest."
Jin Xin immediately picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all. Finally, she turned the bowl upside down and said, "Not a drop is left."
Hong'er then nodded with satisfaction, "My son will come back that evening."
Jin Xin pinched his face and said, "Don't always pretend to be an adult, it's very ugly."
Hong'er hugged her and said, "I am a man. I will become strong and protect my queen and sister."
Jin Xin was slightly startled, frowned, and sent him away without saying anything.
After Hong'er left, Jin Xin looked at the people in the palace. Seeing her sharp eyes, Cuigu asked quickly, "What's wrong with the queen?"
"Are there any new slaves in Kunning Palace?" Jin Xin asked.
"Two of them came in. They were sent by the former Emperor at the request of Manager Ding, and they were arranged to do rough work outside."
"Let them keep their mouths shut and don't talk about the emperor and my affairs in front of the eldest prince. Even the people sent by the emperor can't do it. Anyone who dares to talk too much will be dragged down and slapped."
Hong'er's words just now made him think that the emperor had destroyed him. He looked very worried and insecure.
"My slave understands. I will go and lecture them again soon."
But what Jin Xin didn't know was that it was not the people from Kunning Palace who said it, but the eldest prince who listened to the palace people outside on the road.
Everyone said that the emperor doted on Concubine Shun and did not care about the queen's face at all. When the queen was seriously ill, the emperor did not even visit her a few times and stayed in Changle Palace.
Hong'er was dissatisfied with his father's actions. He should not have hurt his mother's heart.
When they walked to the road, they happened to see Concubine Shun coming out in a sedan chair. When she saw the eldest prince on the road, Concubine Shun immediately asked people to stop.
Hong'er frowned as he watched her get off the sedan chair. Concubine Shun looked at Hong'er with a smile, "First Prince, do you want to go back to Dongfeng Hall? Why don't I see you off."
It was just a greeting, and Concubine Shun didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, Hong'er nodded, "Okay, then there will be Empress Laoshun."
Concubine Shun was also surprised when she heard this. Didn't this boy dislike her? He always ignored her when she saw him. That is to say, she continued to greet him generously every time she saw him.
There is only one position in this sedan chair, either holding him or walking together.
Seeing that the eldest prince had no intention of coming up, I let myself walk with him.
Helpless, Concubine Shun had no choice but to come down and walk to Dongfeng Hall with the eldest prince.
Hong'er knew that his father liked Concubine Shun because of her face. Those slaves said that Concubine Shun's face made the emperor extremely indulgent.
Although Hong'er didn't know why his father cared so much about this face, as a son, he would not let anyone threaten his mother's status.
"Ms. Shun, come here, I have something to tell you." Hong'er suddenly smiled innocently.
Concubine Shun is puzzled, has this boy changed his gender?
She immediately stepped forward, bent down, and said with a smile, "What does the eldest prince want to say to me?"
Hong'er took out the prepared knife and slashed it on Concubine Shun's face. The action was so sudden that Concubine Shun didn't expect that the eldest prince would suddenly hurt someone.
After she felt pain, she pushed Hong'er away, covered her blood-stained face, and said angrily, "You bastard! How dare you hurt my face!"
Hong'er saw that Concubine Shun's face was covered in blood. She couldn't even cover up the blood, so she must have been ruined.
"It's clear that you deliberately plotted to kill this prince. This prince is trying to protect himself. Who instigated you!"
Hong'er was the first to take over the rebel general's army.
