Chapter 218 Begging for mercy

"Are you saying that Concubine Bai is bleeding?"

Jiang Lanzhi put down her pen and ink, reached into a silver basin filled with warm water, and rubbed the ink stains that had accidentally gotten on her. Her pretty face seemed to be filled with disgust.

Luzhu took the paper she had used and threw it into the copper basin and started it burning.

Ever since the incident with the pen and ink, Jiang Lanzhi only used the tribute ink that all the concubines in the palace had, and all the papers with words on them would be burned on the spot. Every failure makes one wiser, and the key to learning is to be cautious.

"Yes, my dear, it's a good thing that you didn't go to Nanxun Palace with Concubine Li." Lu Zhu's eyes were full of relief.

"Did your majesty say how to punish her?"

Jiang Lanzhi shook off the water droplets on her hands, took the handkerchief handed to her by the palace maid, and wiped them gently. She suddenly raised her eyes and asked.

“That’s not the case, but I heard that after the Third Prince heard the rumor that Concubine Li was deliberately plotting to murder the heir in Concubine Bai’s belly, he ran to Zhaozheng Palace to ask for mercy from Your Majesty.

So His Majesty just asked Zhang Deli to go to the Moon Chamber and reprimand Concubine Li in front of the palace servants."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty said that Concubine Li looked like she had never seen perfume in her life. She was petty and abandoned His Royal Highness the Third Prince to flaunt herself in the Imperial Garden alone. Her fragrance spread ten miles away. She was unbecoming and did not act like a prince's mother at all.

There was no mention at all of Concubine Bai's bleeding.

Doesn't this remove Concubine Li from the case of murdering the heir to the throne? Concubine Bai must be heartbroken.

But I feel that there is no connection between the two. After all, Concubine Li has not even met Concubine Bai.

How could they murder someone across a palace wall? I find it extremely mysterious. If it was really the work of Concubine Li, she is truly amazing.

If it was really because she smelled the fragrance of Concubine Li that she had to protect the fetus due to spotting, then Concubine Bai's body was too fragile. She was five months pregnant and it was not three months when she was still unstable.

If Your Majesty really puts the blame on Concubine Li for Concubine Bai's bleeding and needing to protect her pregnancy, there will probably be even more random accusations in the palace."

"Didn't they say before that Concubine Bai had been bedridden to protect her pregnancy? Could it be that it's because her body is too fragile?

A healthy prince who can plead for his mother is not more important than a fetus whose gender is unknown and whose pregnancy has been unstable since the discovery of the pregnancy." Jiang Lanzhi disagreed.

"My dear, have you forgotten? Didn't we hear the imperial physician report from the Queen that the baby in Concubine Bai's belly was a prince?"

“If you diagnose a prince or princess before the baby is born, it doesn’t count. Didn’t we hear the imperial physician say that the princess Zhaode the queen was pregnant with looked like a prince, but when she was born, she wasn’t even a princess?

By the way, have you ever asked anyone how the Third Prince pleaded with His Majesty?"

"Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Li was scolded by His Majesty in public. How did His Royal Highness the Third Prince plead with His Majesty? I have no idea. Your Majesty thinks too highly of me."

"That's right. Alas, our little Ba is a little timid. They say you can tell a person's future from the age of three. He's not even three yet, so he should still be saved. I must change his temper.

How close are other princes to His Majesty? The repeated calls of "Father, Father" are annoying to the ears.

I don’t know if it was taught by their mother or if it’s just their own personality, but I was so jealous.

Xiao Ba is afraid of Your Majesty. If I don't tell him, he won't call you father. His voice is so weak and Your Majesty doesn't even like to come to see him. Who does he resemble in courage? "

"My Lord, why don't you take His Majesty to Zhaozheng Palace to look for His Majesty?

After Concubine Hui had the Fourth Prince, she loved to bring him to His Majesty to show her affection. It was also because His Majesty rarely came to our Yilan Palace. I felt that the Eighth Prince was not timid, but was estranged from His Majesty, so he was not as affectionate with His Majesty as other princes."

"It's all my fault that as a mother, I'm not as favored as other concubines, which makes Xiao Ba not as close to His Majesty as other princes."
