Master Jiang is a direct descendant of the Jiang family in Yizhou. According to his seniority, Jiang Xinyue is still called "Grand Uncle".
The direct line of the Jiang family and the side branches are not close, but apart from occupying all the resources on the official road, they have never treated side branches like Jiang Yankun and others harshly in terms of money.
Therefore, the life of the Jiang family is actually not difficult. The Jiang family, the richest man in Yizhou, is not a vegetarian in terms of financial resources, so they will not look so ugly.
So when Jiang Yanxi came to Jiang's house in the capital with a tired face and a haggard look on his face, Jiang Yankun had no way of driving him out and kept him in Jiang's house.
This hit Concubine Li in the heart.
Outsiders didn't know what was going on inside the Jiang family, but when they saw that Jiang Yankun had taken in Jiang Yanxi, who reported corruption and bribery to the Qinzhou prefect, they subconsciously thought that the harem fight had spread to the former dynasty.
The emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Personnel to go to Qinzhou to jointly investigate the case. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Jiang Jia, was the father of Jiang Yuan, a criminal slave in the cold palace.
"Empress, Jiang Yuan was named Cai Nu and came out of the cold palace."
Xiao Xuanzi still had connections in the cold palace, so he got the news immediately.
At that time, Jiang Xinyue had just drank a bowl of healthy black-bone chicken soup, wiped the oil stains on her mouth and said: "Jiang Yuan is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. The emperor wants Mr. Jiang to go to Qinzhou to investigate the corruption case. It is definitely not a simple investigation. Jiang If you can give the emperor what she wants, what's the harm in letting her daughter out of the cold palace?"
"Then why don't we let her in, provoke her a little, and let her deal with the Queen and Concubine Li!"
I thought I would be praised, but my mother-in-law slapped me on the head: "I have discovered that you have more and more potential to be a vicious villain!"
"whee……"
Magpie scratched his head in embarrassment: "Where is that? I just want to use Jiang Cainu's hand to avenge the empress!"
Jiang Xinyue took a sip of tea, and the taste of the black chicken soup faded from her lips and teeth, and then handed the tea cup back to her. She held her chin with one hand and said with a chuckle: "When Jiang Cainu was Jiang Zhaoyi, even this noble man in the palace fought against her. However, do you still expect her to defeat the Queen and Concubine Li?"
That's quite true.
If she was smart, she would not be used as a weapon by Queen Zhu.
"Let her go back! I am pregnant now. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself. Anything else can be postponed."
The most important thing is to be careful about the concubines in the harem harming her children.
In fact, not seeing Jiang Cainu is the wisest choice. Otherwise, if one day Jiang Cainu goes crazy and assassinates Concubine Li or Empress Zhu, and the emperor checks and finds that Jiang Cainu saw her after leaving the cold palace, wouldn't it be over?
It doesn't matter, I have to have a relationship with her.
Jiang Chuan bowed respectfully to Jiang Cainu: "Jiang Cainu, please come back! Our empress is being grounded by the Queen Mother. Logically speaking, she cannot see anyone or come out. Please forgive me, Jiang Cainu."
Although the former Jiang Yuan did not have astonishing beauty, she could only be described as pretty in a harem filled with beauties. But in fact, she was not ugly. She just didn’t stand out in the harem. When she went out, she was pretty good. A pretty little beauty.
But looking at her now, the aura she had at the beginning was gone, her face was sallow and haggard, and even her straight back was bent a lot.
The jade-like fingers that had been polished with ink when the emperor was painting have now become swollen in joints, and are covered with hideous traces of frostbite.
After Jiang Xinyue left the cold palace, the abuse and harshness she received had worn away all her unwillingness and self-confidence.
All that's left is hatred.
She glanced behind Jiang Chuan, then raised her head to look at the entire Hexi Palace, and then said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb Empress Zhenbi's rest. I have to go to Yikun Palace and Changxin Palace to pay my respects."
He didn't even go to those two places and went directly to Hexi Palace.
Jiang Xinyue sneered: "Her calculation is really good. She has drawn the anger of the Queen and Concubine Li to me. If she commits a crime in the future and I don't save her, she can take advantage of today's incident to bite her." I, I can’t explain it clearly even if I have ten mouths.”
"ah?"
Magpie frowned: "Why doesn't she change her ways? I have to catch up and beat her up."
Jiang Xinyue stopped her: "How can you argue with such a shameless person? Just wait until the emperor comes up tomorrow and complain to him. Why don't you go see if Shuangjiang wakes up?"
She still has many things to ask Shuangsheng!
In the back room of the back hall, two little palace maids were standing in front of the medicine stove and biting their ears: "It is because of our queen's kindness that she spared Shuangjiang's life. If the master had changed, he would have been wrapped up in a roll of torn mats and thrown into a mass grave. "
"I would say that Concubine Zhen is too benevolent as a woman. How can she still use someone who has betrayed her? I'm really afraid that she will die without knowing how, and we, the palace people, will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start over again. distribute."
"I heard that Ye Guiren's father won another battle. The emperor is planning to promote Ye Guiren to be Empress Jieyu! General Ye has made great achievements in battle. Sooner or later, Ye Guiren will be made a concubine. Why don't we go to Shun'an Palace to serve him? ah?"
"Bang!"
The door was roughly pushed open by the magpie. She stepped forward and slapped the palace maid in the face: "My queen is kind to Shuangsheng, how can she be mean to you? She is holding the moon silver from our Hexi Palace, but she is thinking about Shun in her heart." An Gong. In this case, you don’t have to go through any channels. I will send you to Ye Guiren of Shun An Palace now and ask her to accept you, the rip-off dog."
The palace maid was beaten until she knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
The magpie grabbed the other palace maid and pushed her out of the penthouse: "Kneel here for me. I will deal with you after I ask the queen for instructions."
In the room, Shuang Jiang's head was wrapped with a thick white scarf, and his whole face was as pale as if he was going to die at any time.
Her lips trembled, her hands trembled, and tears fell from her eyes. Apparently she heard the conversation between the two little palace maids and was very angry.
Magpie was angry and distressed. He gently helped her sit up, but the expression on her face and the tone of her voice were fierce: "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry. You should go and tell the queen who wants to harm her!" Do you understand that you will atone for your sins through meritorious deeds? Do you really want to be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future?"
The slaves who are "returned" by the master of the palace, whether they are palace maids or eunuchs, will not have a good place from now on.
Shuangsheng's final fate is to return to the days of bullying by his predecessors.
No!
She was "returned" by Empress Zhen, and she offended the emperor's current lover. Her life will only be a hundred times more difficult than before.
Shuangjiang smiled bitterly: "Magpie, with Empress Zhen's current strength, she can't defeat her. If I tell her, if I let Empress Zhen show the slightest precaution when facing her again, she will notice it. I won't tell... At least we can’t say yet.”
Is there anyone else hiding so deeply in the harem?
