Originally, Yu Jiujiu wanted to stay at the Jiang family for a few more days, but because of Ning Yuan'er's incident, she had no choice but to return to the palace early.
Jiang Yinfeng rode a horse and took her to the palace before leaving.
Along the way, Yu Jiujiu sat in the carriage, looking at Ning Yuan'er, who was still looking dull, and kept thinking about whether to tell Queen Ning about this matter.
If she doesn't tell her, she will know about it sooner or later.
I told her, but I was afraid that she would worry.
Yu Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh when she saw Ning Yuan'er like this. Even if she didn't say anything, if the queen saw Ning Yuan'er today, she would definitely chase her to get to the bottom of it.
So, she struggled over and over again, and after sending Ning Yuan'er to the Queen's Palace, she decided to take the initiative to tell Queen Ning what happened and her speculations.
After hearing this, Queen Ning's face was filled with uncertainty, her expression changing from unwilling to believe, to doubt, to having to believe.
"Chu Jin, she actually dared to do this to my father! She also caused her brother's only granddaughter to become like this! I wish I could go back now, kidnap and kill Chu Jin!" Queen Ning suddenly said
He raised his hand and slapped it on the table. It was almost the first time that he lost his temper in front of Yu Jiu Jiu.
"Queen, please don't get so angry."
Seeing this, Yu Jiujiu quickly persuaded him.
However, he couldn't help but sigh. How could he not be angry?
If it was her emperor father who was poisoned by his daughter-in-law and was still stupid, then she would definitely be severely angry.
"The queen is right to be angry. Chu Jin should be cut into pieces if he does such a thing."
So, she changed her words, "But now, first of all, fortunately, Divine Doctor Chu is here. He has made a guarantee that within a month, Yuan'er will be able to be cured to the same level as before. This is already the ultimate. Yuan'er
Poisoning has damaged the brain and it is impossible to fully recover.
"The second is that even if Chu Jin is to be punished, she must be arrested with conclusive evidence. Also, Chu Jin is the queen's mother's sister-in-law and the wife of the queen's mother's brother. Even if evidence is collected, we must know
What kind of attitude does Prince Zhongshan have? We must not hurt the harmony between you brothers and sisters."
Yu Jiujiu's sweet little voice carries a hint of serious calmness.
Queen Ning listened and calmed down little by little.
"Xiao Jiu'er is right. I'm so angry. My brother and Chu Jin are very affectionate. Even if I want to avenge my father, I have to worry about my brother. After all, I have been loved and protected by my brother since I was a child."
Queen Ning said, but she fell into a dilemma for a moment.
If her brother couldn't let go of Chu Jin, wouldn't she punish Chu Jin?
"But even so, I just want to inform the crown prince that Chu Jin must be punished. The Queen Mother, Jiujiu has an idea, but I don't know if the Queen Mother can make up her mind."
At this time, Yu Jiujiu said.
Queen Ning immediately made a sign of listening attentively.
After Yu Jiujiu finished speaking, she thought for a long time.
Then he made a decision: "Just do what Xiao Jiuer said! The unhealthy trend and hypocrisy in Zhongshan Prince's Mansion really needs to be eliminated!"
Ning Fu, the old prince of Zhongshan Palace, was born on the fifth day of November.
The day he drinks cherry wine every month is on the tenth day of November, with only five days in between.
In the past three days, five courtiers came to the court one after another, mentioning that the old prince Ning Fu was old and had been ill for a long time, and no one recognized him. The eldest son Ning Fengran should be promoted to inherit the title of King of Zhongshan.
Mrs. Chu Jin is the princess.
Chu Jin is the younger sister of Concubine Chu.
Emperor Xuanping immediately thought that if he approved these memorials, Concubine Chu would definitely be happy for his sister.
However, doing so goes against the ancestral system.
Hereditary and non-replaceable titles can only be passed on to the next generation smoothly after the father dies.
Even though Ning Fu is old and confused, as long as he lives, he will be the King of Zhongshan, and Ning Fengran can only continue to be the older prince.
Therefore, people from the Ministry of Rites strongly opposed it.
Emperor Xuanping not only wanted to make Concubine Chu happy, but also did not want to violate the ancestral system too much, so he thought of a compromise: "In two months, it will be the Chinese New Year. By then, if the old Zhongshan King's condition has not improved,
Let Ning Fengran temporarily take over his title. Nowadays, the foreign tribes on the border are eager to invade and may invade at any time. The title of King of Zhongshan is earned by their bravery and prowess in battle for generations, and only the King of Zhongshan is qualified to lead troops.
When the time comes, let Ning Fengran lead troops to guard the border, and as long as he can firmly keep the aliens out of the border, he will be officially allowed to inherit the title."
As soon as he said these words, most of the opposition voices immediately disappeared.
That was how things were settled.
As soon as the news reached the Zhongshan Palace, Chu Jin was extremely happy.
She secretly thought that it would be too easy to prevent the old prince from getting better by the time of the Chinese New Year. All she had to do was let the old prince drink more cherry wine!
As for saying that his condition has improved, he probably wants the old prince to continue receiving medical treatment.
This is not a problem either.
The doctor who often came to the palace had been bribed by her a long time ago. Even if he diagnosed that something was wrong with the old prince's health, he would never say a word more.
So Chu Jin immediately decided to feed the old prince cherry wine every day for the three days from today to the tenth day of the lunar month.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Queen Ning suddenly drove back to her parents' home without any pretense.
Ever since she entered the palace and became a queen, except for the three days after her wedding when she returned to her parents' home according to the ceremonial rules, this was the first time in so many years that she returned to her parents' home, the place where she grew up.
When Ning Fengran saw the sister she had loved since childhood, her face was filled with smiles.
Although Chu Jin felt a little surprised, she felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
"The Queen is coming back. Why didn't she send someone to tell her in advance? The family is completely unprepared. I'm really afraid of neglecting the Queen!" she asked with some doubts.
"Sister-in-law, don't you welcome me back?" Queen Ning asked gently, with the same good temper as when she was at home a few years ago.
"The Queen's words are serious, I am just afraid of being neglected." Chu Jin repeated what he just said, and asked somewhat bluntly, "I just don't know why the Queen chose today to come back suddenly?"
When Queen Ning heard her words that were almost questioning, a cold feeling flashed in her heart.
In the past, when I was still at my parents' house, this sister-in-law came in.
Chu Jin is a well-rounded person, always smiling and looking easy to get along with everyone she meets.
Therefore, Empress Ning has always liked this sister-in-law.
But until today, when she saw Chu Jin's true face clearly, she realized that this man was extremely hypocritical, with a knife hidden under his smile!
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by questioning me like this? Could it be that I can't come to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion?" When Empress Ning thought of Chu Jin cruelly poisoning her father, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart. Shen
