In the Shangqing Palace, the empress had just had lunch.
Just as he was about to take a nap, he suddenly heard the eunuch's announcement.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see Mr. An."
Anguiren? Why did she come to ask me to see me? Could it be that she also wanted to ask me to go to her place tonight?
Thinking of this, a trace of disgust flashed across the empress's face.
"Then he said that I fell asleep and disappeared."
The imperial eunuch responded, but there was a bit of hesitation in his voice.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally said:
"Your Majesty, from what Guiren An said, it seems that Manager Yang has offended her. So she asked to see Your Majesty, hoping to deal with Manager Yang."
Does she want me to deal with Yang Dong?
Empress Feng's eyes widened slightly, and the sleepiness on her face immediately dissipated.
"Go, let her in!"
Soon, An Rongrong stepped into the study room of Shangqing Palace.
This was the first time she had set foot in His Majesty's study, and she was particularly excited.
She saw His Majesty sitting on the dragon throne, his majestic face extremely handsome.
The craziness of last night was recalled in his mind, and he couldn't help but salivate.
"Your Majesty~"
She called softly, her voice full of softness. Just as he was about to fall into the Empress's arms, he was stopped by Qingniao.
"This is His Majesty's study, don't be arrogant here!"
An Rongrong's expression froze, she glared at Qingniao fiercely, and then said:
"Your Majesty, that bitch slave Yang Dong, relying on your favor for him, actually reached out to Leng Palace!"
"The slave's cousin is the An Gong Guan of the Leng Palace. Over the years, he has tried his best to guard the Leng Palace for His Majesty. However, Yang Dong did not follow the rules and directly arrested him in the Shenxing Department on unfounded charges."
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me, and you must not let this slave go!"
There was no expression on the empress's majestic face.
She glanced at An Rongrong lightly and asked:
"Then what do you think I should do with Yang Dong?"
"Of course he will be abolished from his position and sent to the Criminal Punishment Department!"
A fierce look flashed in An Rongrong's eyes.
"He relied on His Majesty's favor to do evil in the harem. If he is not dealt with, it will definitely affect Your Majesty's reputation."
"I regard Your Majesty as my husband. How can I just watch Yang Dong, a slave like this, wantonly destroy His Majesty's prestige?"
"So, you are thinking about me."
The empress smiled coldly, but the chill in her eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Blue Bird, convey my will immediately."
"I specially ordered Yang Dong, the chief internal officer, to take over Leng Palace. However, Leng Palace is in charge of Andao, but they are obstructing it in every possible way."
"Lenggongguan Andao, no king or father, disobeying the imperial edict, he shall be executed immediately!"
As soon as this imperial edict came out, An Rongrong was completely stunned.
Wait, didn't I come here to sue Yang Dong, that bitch slave?
Why didn't His Majesty kill him, but instead beheaded his own brother?
She was momentarily panicked and hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, are you mistaken? It's obviously Yang Dong, that dog slave..."
The empress ignored it and continued:
"The noble An Rongrong confuses right and wrong and slanders the chief internal officer."
"Become a beauty and be banned for three months."
"Come here, send Anmei out."
The empress waved her hands in disgust, as if she were chasing away troublesome flies.
An Rongrong was about to speak, but her delicate body was driven directly by two eunuchs and thrown out of the study.
The study returned to calm. The empress closed the memorial in her hand and slowly asked:
"Qingniao, go and see what Xiaodongzi wants Leng Gong to do. By the way, I summoned him to my study and told him that the queen made soup for him and let him enjoy it!"
"yes!"
…
The concubines in the palace had nothing to do all day long and were extremely bored.
But today, the cold palace has become the focus of their attention.
First, Yang Dong, the chief internal officer, directly threw the cold palace manager into the Shenxing Department, regardless of An Guiren's face.
Then An Gui became too popular and went to Shangqing Palace to seek justice from His Majesty.
In the end, justice was not obtained. Instead, His Majesty issued an imperial edict to consecrate the noble lady to be a beauty, and at the same time beheaded the palace administrator in the cold palace.
All of a sudden, the concubines in the harem were talking about it.
But Yang Dong cannot avoid the surrounding topics.
It is said that Yang Dong is a close confidant of His Majesty.
It is said that the relationship between Yang Dong and His Majesty is definitely not pure.
What's more, they even suspected that Yang Dong was of the late emperor's bloodline...
As the man at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, Yang Dong was extremely busy at the moment.
"Mr. Lu, you guys stay here for now."
"I will send someone to deliver it to you later if you need it."
"If you have any other needs, you can ask the little eunuch outside the door to let me know."
The Mr. Lu mentioned by Yang Dong is an old man with gray hair. He was thin, his hands were dry, but his eyes were bright.
Although he was dressed simply, he had the aura of a leader. Because of this, after these one hundred craftsmen entered the capital, they followed Mr. Lu as their leader.
Mr. Lu nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with Yang Dong's arrangement. After all, without Yang Dong's shelter, they would have nowhere to live.
The place where these craftsmen are now is located on the edge of the Cold Palace. There is no one living here all year round, and even people in the cold palace rarely set foot there.
Not only that, there is also an underground prison built here.
The underground prison is not in use, so it can be used as their craftsman's workshop.
After everything was arranged, Yang Dong called Mr. Lu aside.
After confirming again that no one was around, he took out a crumpled piece of rice paper from his arms and handed it to Mr. Lu.
"Mr. Lu, can you make this thing?"
Mr. Lu took the rice paper and frowned slightly.
There is a strange object drawn on the rice paper, which looks round and square, but I have never seen it before.
"Manager Yang, it seems that this thing is not difficult to make, but I don't know what it does, so I don't dare to say anything."
Yang Dong naturally understood what the other party meant. After thinking for a moment, he whispered:
"Mr. Lu, this matter is of great importance, please keep it secret."
"To be honest, this thing is called a horseshoe, and it is inlaid on the horse's shoe."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lu's eyes suddenly brightened.
He picked up the rice paper and looked at it carefully. His expression was sometimes confused, sometimes enlightened, and he kept praising it.
"It's wonderful that such a simple piece of iron can play such a role!"
"Manager Yang, I wonder who designed this horseshoe? I want to see such a great talent with my own eyes."
"I drew this casually in my spare time, and Mr. Lu laughed."
Yang Dong cupped his hands with an extremely humble expression.
But his performance made Mr. Lu's evaluation of him rise by one point.
Neither arrogant nor impetuous, with a humble attitude.
This guy has such a good nature and is really a good talent.
It's a pity... that he is a eunuch, otherwise his legacy would have been inherited.
Mr. Lu sighed lightly, but still praised him sincerely:
"This horseshoe is exquisitely designed, but it is extremely practical. Mr. Yang is a talented man, but I am blind."
Yang Dong bowed his hands and saluted again, and was about to speak when he saw the blue bird rushing towards him like a bolt of blue lightning.
"Xiao Dongzi, His Majesty summons you to Shangqing Palace!"
