Chapter 527 The Queen is Crazy 11
Qionghua Palace.
When Concubine Hui heard the news, she felt a little uneasy: "Why is she leaving the palace all of a sudden?"
Concubine Hui's personal maid Ruoshui thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "Perhaps the inner court went too far and irritated Princess Chaoyuan, so the Emperor is trying to appease her!"
"Then why did you take Concubine Shu away as well?" Concubine Hui frowned.
Ruoshui was speechless: "This..."
Concubine Hui sighed, "I originally wanted to use Princess Chaoyuan to give Concubine Rong a great gift, but now I have to find another candidate."
The Rong family is a family of military generals and has made great contributions in attacking the barbarian country.
They were heroes of the Great Zhou, but enemies of the Barbarian Kingdom.
Concubine Hui originally wanted to give Concubine Rong Xuyun Powder, and then use Mu Qing to get rid of Concubine Rong's child, to stir up the Rong family's dissatisfaction with the royal family. With the help of these remnants of the barbarian country, they would definitely stir up trouble in the Great Zhou.
pity……
Ruoshui remembered something and whispered, "My Lady, there's news from outside that the General's wife is pregnant again!"
"Oh?" Concubine Hui was pleasantly surprised. "In that case, I have to start preparing as well! As usual, you go down and make arrangements!"
"Yes." Ruoshui nodded.
"By the way," Concubine Hui asked Ruoshui, "Second Prince and Third Prince, what have you been doing recently?"
Ruoshui: "The Second Prince studies in the Imperial Study every day. The Third Prince is still young. I heard that the Emperor is planning to vaccinate him against cowpox!"
Now, everyone knows that the imperial court has come up with the cowpox method. Thanks to Mu Chong's efforts, vaccination centers have been set up in all counties to provide free vaccination for children of appropriate age.
Concubine Hui was filled with resentment: "God is so blind that he allowed the Great Zhou to obtain such a magical method!"
The underwear of the smallpox patient was sent to the Qi family by the barbarians.
He had wanted to use the Qi family's help to make some plans, but in the end he failed.
Concubine Hui was so angry that her teeth were itching. Her face was gloomy and ugly, and she was stirring the handkerchief vigorously with both hands.
Speaking of vaccination, Ruoshui suddenly thought of something.
She glanced at Concubine Hui cautiously and whispered, "Your Majesty, there's one more thing. Someone over there asked, 'The young lady in the village is quite old. Should we vaccinate her?'"
Concubine Hui paused, thinking of the child.
Her mind raced, and she suddenly came up with an idea. If handled well, she might be able to smear the court and shake the people's hearts.
only……
Concubine Hui struggled internally for a long time, but in the end her hatred for the Great Zhou prevailed.
She looked at Ruoshui: "Come closer and listen..."
…………
"Snapped!"
"Clang!"
The fine teacup was broken into pieces, and Mu Chong's fingers were stained with tea, which dripped down "drip drip".
"What a vicious, vicious person," Mu Chong laughed in anger. "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but she's so cruel. Not only did she pass off a bastard as a princess, she even dared to degrade my daughter."
Jia Yi lowered his head and felt a chill in his heart.
When he first found out the truth, he was really shocked.
Unexpectedly, the second princess in the palace was not only a fake, but also of the royal blood of the barbarian country.
The real second princess has been living in a small village all these years, never seeing the sun.
What is even more shocking is that Concubine Hui and others actually planned to infect the Second Princess with the smallpox virus, disrupt the order of the vaccination center, and shake the foundation of the country!
It’s really heartbreaking!
Mu Chong closed his eyes and said, "Let's do it!"
Soon, a piece of news spread throughout the capital.
One night, the residence of the Minister of Rites accidentally caught fire, and the head of the Liu family and his two sons were all burned to death.
The rest of the Liu family carried the coffin back to their hometown, but were stopped and robbed by roving bandits on the way.
After a desperate fight, all members of the Liu family were killed.
Mu Chong was furious and sent troops to suppress the bandits, which cleared up the local atmosphere.
When Concubine Hui in the palace heard the bad news, she was so angry that she fell ill.
At the same time, a village hundreds of miles away from the capital was engulfed in fire overnight.
Mu Chong had given careful consideration to the handling of the Liu family.
Because of the previous incident involving the Qi family, many people were implicated, so it is not appropriate to make a big fuss about the Liu family.
Moreover, the barbarians were stirring up trouble in the Great Zhou, but the royal family not only did not notice it, but also took Concubine Hui, who had the royal blood of the barbarians, into the palace. If this were to be made known to others, it would easily affect the prestige of the royal family.
The Great Zhou has been dealing with the barbarian countries for hundreds of years. Today you send spies to me, and tomorrow I send undercover agents to you. Infernal affairs are commonplace.
The first head of the Liu family was a spy sent by the Barbarian Kingdom to the Great Zhou, and he was also a member of the Barbarian Royal Family.
He was also capable. Relying on his intelligence and talent, he passed the imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty and gradually entered the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After years of accumulation, the Liu family's business became bigger and bigger, and they had planted many spies in the palace, which also provided assistance for Concubine Hui to stir up trouble in the palace later.
During the reign of Emperor Zhengze, barbarians were hunted down on a large scale. The Liu family saved many of them with their superb undercover skills.
The Liu family also built a hidden village outside. If the child born has obvious barbarian characteristics, they will be sent to the village to be raised well. If not, they will be raised at home.
Concubine Hui was of the orthodox barbarian royal bloodline. Because she was beautiful and had no obvious foreign features, she was brought into the Liu family's mansion and carefully raised as soon as she was born.
After Mu Chong ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the court, he took the daughter of a minister as his concubine. Hui Fei was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, so she entered the palace.
After Concubine Hui became pregnant, she harbored resentment towards her unborn child due to her hatred for the Zhou Dynasty.
It just so happened that Hui Fei's elder sister was also pregnant. She was the descendant of the great general of the Barbarian Kingdom and had the orthodox Barbarian bloodline.
The two are of similar birth years, so it's a perfect opportunity to swap a cat for a prince.
Fortunately, Concubine Hui’s sister gave birth to a daughter, otherwise there would be another prince in the palace.
In this way, the real second princess was taken to the village to be raised and cared for, waiting for plans to be made in the future.
The daughter born to Concubine Hui's sister was brought into the palace and became the second princess of the Zhou Dynasty, enjoying wealth and glory.
The fake princess's eyes only had a light blue circle around the pupils, which was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, and even Mu Chong, her "father", did not notice it.
If Du Jingru hadn't been sharp-eyed, Mu Chong, the cheap father, would have been gone.
Who knows, in the future, the barbarian country might use this to stir up trouble.
As the sun sets, the once respectable Qionghua Palace now appears dilapidated and desolate.
Concubine Hui was so thin that her bones were visible, and she lay sickly in bed.
Mu Chong had dealt with the remnants of the barbarian country, including Ruoshui, and only arranged for an old nanny to take care of the half-dead Concubine Hui.
To say that I'm taking care of her is just to watch over her and not let her die.
"Squeak~"
The door opened and Mu Chong walked in slowly.
Concubine Hui turned her head and met Mu Chong's cold face.
After being surprised, Concubine Hui showed a resentful expression: "You..."
Mu Chong raised his eyebrows: "The Liu family is all dead."
Concubine Hui widened her eyes.
Mu Chong grinned: "That village is completely burned down."
Concubine Hui's eyes were bloodshot.
Mu Chong thought for a moment and added, "Oh, my people found a list in that village. Don't worry, no one will escape!"
Concubine Hui couldn't breathe, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Mu Chong straightened his sleeves, turned around and slowly walked out of the palace.
In the evening, the old nanny came to report that Concubine Hui had cut her wrists with broken porcelain pieces while no one was paying attention.
Mu Chong simply replied "Handled it" and continued to review the memorials.
Concubine Hui, who almost devoted her entire life to the barbarian country, ended up with nothing more than a roll of torn straw mat.
Mu Chong was busy dealing with the follow-up matters, while Du Jingru, who was having a great time playing in the imperial farm, was staring at the little girl in front of her.
An old maid respectfully said, "Madam Shufei, Concubine Hui is unwell, and the Second Princess is temporarily unattended, so the Emperor has asked this servant to bring the Second Princess here and ask you to take care of her."
Du Jingru looked at the thin and timid girl and raised her eyebrows: "Okay, I understand."
She picked up a little rabbit from under her feet, winked at the little girl, and said softly, "Do you want to come over and touch it?"
The little girl's attention was immediately attracted by the little rabbit, and her feet moved unconsciously.
By the time she reacted, she was already leaning in Du Jingru's arms.
Mu Qing was shocked by this.
"Aunt, what's going on?"
Mu Qing hurried over after hearing the news and looked at the second princess playing with a rabbit under the shade of a tree: "Who is she, the one in the palace..." Who is she?
Du Jingru wiped the sweat off Mu Qing's forehead with a handkerchief and said firmly, "She is the second princess."
Mu Qing was confused, but finally nodded obediently.
Mu Chong dealt with all the affairs in the harem before sending someone to bring Mu Qing and Du Jingru back to the palace.
Not long after she returned, Concubine Rong had an orgasm one night.
In the end, Concubine Rong gave birth to Princess Zhou of the Third Week, and Mu Chong named her Mu Ling.
Du Jingru later learned that Concubine Hui originally wanted to give Concubine Rong Xu Yun San, but Mu Chong changed the medicine after knowing that.
Rong Fei knew nothing about all this and just held her daughter in her arms and laughed foolishly all day long.
When she heard that the second-class palace maid Juxiu was seriously ill, she just waved her hand and asked someone to send her back to the inner palace.
The second princess had just returned from outside. Everyone in the harem was no fool. Even though the second princess had changed her appearance, everyone pretended not to notice.
Even the dumbest Concubine Rong didn't say anything about it.
Perhaps because of her fledgling complex, the second princess was very close to Du Jingru, sticking to her side all day long and never leaving her side.
Mu Chong saw this and simply changed the second princess's jade certificate.
Since then, Concubine Shu, who had been in the palace for many years without having any children, now had a daughter.
Du Jingru: Okay!
Many years later, Mu Chong passed away and Crown Prince Mu Jue ascended the throne.
Du Jingru was promoted to the position of imperial concubine and, with the emperor's permission, moved to the imperial estate outside the palace.
Occasionally, she would be invited to stay at the princess residence of the married Mu Qing and Mu Rong, enjoying the company of her grandchildren and living a life of wealth and luxury.
