Chapter 518 The Queen is Crazy 2
Chapter 518 The Queen is Crazy 2
Mu Chong is not a lustful person. When he was a prince and a king, there were not many women in his mansion.
Moreover, he really liked Du Jingya, his wife who died for him.
After Du Jingya's death, Mu Chong became like a monk, becoming ascetic and free from desires. Sometimes he would not enter the harem for several months and would devote all day to government affairs.
The original body had been in the palace for many years, but had seen Mu Chong only a few times.
She is not reconciled.
She entered the palace to enjoy life, not to be a widow.
The original body, whose desires were not satisfied, began to use various means to seduce Mu Chong, but was repeatedly rejected.
The palace is lonely. As a concubine, she cannot get the emperor's love, and because of her status, she cannot leave the palace to relax.
Over time, the original person's mentality changed.
She was jealous of her dead sister, resented Mu Chong for being cold to her, and even disliked the three children her sister had given birth to.
Mu Chong has five children, and the first three are Du Jingya's children.
The eldest son, Mu Jue, is the crown prince, thirteen years old this year, and lives in the crown prince's residence.
The second princess, Chaoyuan Princess Mu Qing, is nine years old this year and lives in the princess residence.
The third child, Mu Qiong, is seven years old this year. He was still an infant when Du Jingya died and moved into the prince's residence last year.
The fourth child, Princess Huayang Mu Rong, was born to Concubine Hui. She is four years old this year and lives with her mother in Qionghua Palace.
The fifth child, Mu Zhuo, was born to Concubine Qi. He is two years old this year and lives in Lanlin Palace.
After Du Jingya died, Mu Chong did not appoint another queen, not even a royal concubine.
However, all four concubines are present.
Apart from the original body, the other three were taken into the harem in order to stabilize the court.
The remaining beauties are just two or three kittens, filling the scene.
The original body had been in the palace for many years but had no children. Therefore, although she was resentful, she also knew that the three children left by her sister would be the Du family and her support in the future.
Therefore, she did not lose her mind and do anything irreparable. Instead, she cared more about her three children.
In March of this year, the bored original body could not stay in her Zhiluo Palace, so she simply took the cakes she made and went to the prince's residence to visit Mu Qiong.
Then, she fell in love with Mu Qiong's personal bodyguard.
The guard was named Zhu Qing. He was tall and handsome. Because he was the third son in the family, he was not taken seriously. He used his connections to enter the palace and became a small guard.
When the two hooked up, it was like a match made in heaven, like a tortoise and a mung bean.
The original body tasted the sweetness and began to frequently go in and out of the prince's residence, looking for opportunities to hang out with Zhu Qing.
She thought she was acting discreetly, but she didn't want to be seen by others.
Today, she was having a secret meeting with Zhu Qing in the cold palace. When the two were doing something shameless, Mu Chong and his men suddenly broke in and caught them in bed.
The scandal was exposed and Zhu Qing was killed. Mu Chong thought of Du Jingya and did not kill her original body. He just imprisoned her in Zhiluo Palace and ordered her not to leave for the rest of her life.
The days of imprisonment were very painful, but fortunately Mu Qing helped to take care of her food and clothing, and he would occasionally send someone to visit her.
But since some time ago, Mu Qing's maid never came again.
The original body was a little uneasy and clamored to see Mu Qing, but was told by the palace servants that Mu Qing had been sent to the imperial farm for custody because he caused Rong Fei to have a miscarriage.
The second person she asked to see, the second prince Mu Qiong, unfortunately contracted smallpox and died.
Days passed, and just when the original body thought that he would die alone in Zhiluo Palace, the palace gate was opened.
Standing outside was an unexpected person.
Concubine Qi, who gave birth to the third prince Mu Zhuo, was a woman with a very low sense of presence.
She gave the original body a mind-enchanting drug and took her to the Crown Prince's Palace.
At that time, the Crown Princess was about to give birth, and the Crown Princess's Palace was crowded with people, so the original body actually ran in.
The original body had been imprisoned and was somewhat unconscious, and was also affected by the drugs. She took the dagger that Concubine Qi stuffed into her hand and went crazy in the Prince's Palace.
When Mu Chong arrived, Mu Jue was accidentally scratched by his original body while protecting the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince, and his original body was hacked to death by the guards.
After accepting the memory, Du Jingru was really speechless.
Even though her memory only goes back to the death of her original body, she can still guess the subsequent outcome.
Given Concubine Qi's cautious nature, the dagger she gave to the original body was most likely poisoned.
The prince was poisoned and would be crippled if not dead.
Mu Qiong was already dead, the crown prince was still young, and only Mu Zhuo, the son of Concubine Qi, was left. The ending was obvious.
The Crown Prince's Palace was heavily guarded. Even if there was a panic because the Crown Princess was about to give birth, they would not let someone as old as the original body go in and go crazy. This must have been the work of Concubine Qi.
Or rather, it is the Qi family.
Du Jingru carefully recalled everything about the Qi family.
The Qi family is a family of scholars and officials. Concubine Qi's cousin was a concubine of Emperor Qingyuan, but she did not give birth to any children.
After Emperor Qingyuan passed away, Mu Chong ascended the throne. In order to preserve the family's prosperity, the Qi family sent Concubine Qi into the palace, and she successfully gave birth to a prince.
Mu Chong has only three sons. If something happens to the first two, the biggest beneficiary will be Mu Zhuo.
Du Jingru boldly speculated that the Qi family might have been involved in Mu Qiong contracting smallpox.
And Mu Qing, what did she do to be related to Rong Fei's miscarriage?
There are too many things to do and they are too complicated to make sense of them for the moment.
The most urgent task is to extricate oneself from this fatal affair.
When the original body had a secret meeting with Zhu Qing, he only brought his trusted palace maid Chuntao with him.
But just now, Du Jingru did not see Chuntao in the crowd.
Mu Chong carried Du Jingru back to Zhiluo Palace, put her on the bed, and ordered the palace servants to take good care of her.
The situation is unclear now, and Mu Chong does not want to convict Du Jingru casually out of subtlety.
After a while, the palace maid announced that the imperial physician had arrived.
Du Jingru took advantage of the situation and ate half of the magic pill.
After thinking about it, he stuffed another pill into his mouth to prevent the occurrence of heir failure.
Emperors are always suspicious. If the imperial physician finds out that she has been poisoned, Mu Chong will most likely think that she has been framed.
Just now, Du Jingru acted decisively and smashed Zhu Qing's head. To those who didn't know the situation, they would subconsciously think that Du Jingru was resisting the bad guys.
As long as Mu Chong's heart leans towards her, she wins.
Tsk, feudal society and such are so annoying!
Doctor Liu placed his hand on Du Jingru's pulse, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Mu Chong's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "How is Concubine Shu?"
Imperial Physician Liu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Shu has been poisoned by a mind-altering drug. I will prescribe a prescription immediately to force the drug out. However..."
He glanced at Mu Chong cautiously and said in a low voice, "However, I found a large amount of musk in the body of the Concubine Shu. I'm afraid that from now on, the Concubine will not have children!"
"What?" Mu Chong was shocked and angry.
Today, Rong Fei suddenly asked for a meeting and swore that Shu Fei had an affair with someone, and took him directly to the cold palace.
As Concubine Rong said, he did meet Du Jingru in the cold palace.
But the situation was unexpected. What he saw was Du Jingru smashing the "adulterer's" head with a candlestick.
This doesn't look like an affair!
