Chapter 442 Suspicion
Whenever Luo Jingshen thought of this, he felt that he hated Ji Qingqing even more.
If the person who married him was Ji Yuntang, he would have secured the throne by now!
Not only that, he will have endless money to spend, endless delicious food to eat, and endless benefits to enjoy every day.
What can Ji Qingqing use to compare with Ji Yuntang?
When Concubine Li heard that Luo Jingshen was jealous of Ji Yuntang, she tangled the handkerchief under her sleeve!
Ji Yuntang, it’s Ji Yuntang again!
Why do two princes like this bitch Ji Yuntang?
No, she absolutely could not let Luo Jingshen have any feelings for the bitch Ji Yuntang. She was so vicious that she had no right to stand by the prince's side.
Concubine Li thought of this and gently curled her lips to persuade him, "Your Highness, there are many good girls in the capital, why do you have to feel sorry for a married woman?"
"At worst, you can also marry a princess from another country to help you consolidate your power. Anyone is much better than Ji Yuntang. Your Highness, please don't fall for that bitch."
Luo Jingshen scoffed: "Of course I don't bother to marry a married woman, but isn't she your daughter-in-law?"
"Does Ji Yuntang know that you scolded her like that?"
Concubine Li said coldly: "I have never agreed to this marriage. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the Yongning Marquis's Mansion for secretly replacing the bride."
Otherwise, the person who would marry Luo Junhe would have to be Ji Qingqing!
With Ji Qingqing's ability to torture people, Luo Junhe would probably be tortured to death within a month of marriage. Why would she need to go through the trouble of killing him now?
Luo Jingshen clearly understood that Concubine Li was planning to stand on his side, so every word she said sounded like she was speaking up for him.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly made a plan in his mind.
This is a good opportunity for him to get money, how could he let it go?
"I already know what Madam Li Fei means. Don't worry, when I become the emperor, I will never treat you badly. It's just..."
Concubine Li was very happy to hear the first words, but her heart was in her throat when she heard the second words.
"Just what?" She asked hurriedly, "Does His Royal Highness have any other difficulties?"
"But I'm afraid these 100,000 taels of silver are not enough to alleviate my urgent needs."
Luo Jingshen finished speaking with a sad face, and Concubine Li immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will find a way for you to deal with the silver issue."
"Then I would like to thank the Empress Li first!"
After seeing off Concubine Li, Luo Jingshen immediately called over his personal guard Linchuan.
"Go and investigate the relationship between Concubine Li and the Night King, or whether the Night King has offended Concubine Li in any way. Focus on investigating their childhood. I want to know every detail."
"Yes, Your Highness." Linchuan responded and left.
He wanted to know when Concubine Li started to distance herself from Luo Junhe.
The mother-son relationship between them was very subtle. Although Luo Jingshen did not pay attention to it, he had heard about it.
Before Ji Yuntang married into the Ye Palace, Concubine Li had always played the role of a good wife and mother. She helped Luo Junhe recite scriptures and pray for blessings, found a princess for him to marry her, went to Emperor Jingyang to ask for ice to remove the fire poison from Luo Junhe... and so on, just to make Luo Junhe better.
At that time, she had a very good reputation, and almost no one in Dongchen Kingdom said that Concubine Li did not love Luo Junhe.
However, ever since Ji Yuntang married into the Night Palace, Luo Junhe's health has gradually improved, and their mother-son relationship seems to have changed!
It was hard to describe this change, but the feeling that Concubine Li gave Luo Jingshen just now was that she seemed to wish Luo Junhe would die.
She explained that it was because of Ji Yuntang that Luo Junhe overly protected Ji Yuntang, so she hated this son.
But Luo Jingshen always felt that this matter was not that simple.
Since ancient times, he has never heard of any mother hating her son because she hates her daughter-in-law.
Even though she was the Queen, and even though she disliked Ji Qingqing in her heart, when he sent his betrothal gift to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, the Queen still added an additional 100,000 taels of silver to his betrothal gift.
This is a mother's instinct.
But when it comes to Concubine Li, it's just the opposite!
Luo Jingshen always felt that Concubine Li treated him much better than her own son.
Although he enjoyed this kindness, he felt uneasy in his heart, always fearing that the other party had bad intentions.
He would never feel at ease unless he sent someone to investigate.
Linchuan's investigation was quick. In just one day, he was able to find some clues.
He reported to Luo Jingshen: "Your Highness, I have found out that Concubine Li and His Highness Ye Wang have not had a good relationship since childhood."
"His Royal Highness the Night King was very filial when he was young. When Concubine Li just said that she wanted to drink tea made from morning dew, he would get up in the middle of the night to collect dewdrops from the lotus pond and make tea for Concubine Li. Concubine Li said that she wanted him to learn horse riding, so he rode and practiced archery every day just to make Concubine Li happy. On Concubine Li's birthday, he even painted a portrait of her and gave it to her, but Concubine Li said the painting was too ugly and tore it up..."
"I have heard a lot of things like this from the old palace people. No matter what His Royal Highness the Night King does, Concubine Li seems to be dissatisfied with him and can always find some faults with him."
"Empress Li claimed that she just wanted to be strict with her son and train him well. However, in the eyes of the subordinates, this kind of training is too suffocating. It doesn't seem like she is training her son, but rather training a prisoner."
The more Lin Chuan spoke, the lower his voice became. Many of the palace servants who had served the Night King before were either dead or had left the palace, and there were very few he could find.
Therefore, the information he got this time was obtained from someone he found outside after much persuasion.
Everyone thought that Concubine Li loved her son dearly, but in fact, that was not the case at all.
Which of the women in the harem is a good person?
Luo Jingshen didn't say anything. It turned out to be just as he had guessed. Concubine Li had never liked Luo Junhe since childhood.
The maternal love she showed was all just a disguise!
At this moment, Lin Chuan suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, Your Highness, I have also found out something that I find very strange."
Luo Jingshen immediately said: "Hurry up and tell me."
"Ever since Concubine Li entered the palace, she has been going to Huayang Temple to burn incense almost every month, and sometimes she doesn't come back until noon the next day."
Luo Jingshen glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "It's just burning incense, what's so strange about it?"
The women in this palace, including the queen, all like to worship Buddha and recite scriptures. This seems normal to Luo Jingshen!
Linchuan said: "Empress Li goes to Huayang Temple on the first and fifteenth day of every month. This has hardly changed in the past twenty years."
