However, for Empress Zhu, being a queen is her lifelong pursuit.
As the saying goes, A is like honey, B is like arsenic.
People's pursuits are different.
The queen sat back on her seat and relaxed her tense body: "You came to Yikun Palace today just to talk to me about this?"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head, looking lonely: "Empress, I have something to say, I don't know who to say it to. After thinking about it, I am the only one who can listen to my concubine."
She bit her lip: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he showed Xu Ying'er's testimony to my concubine, but I didn't believe her, so I checked in private. The person who sprinkled things on Nanny Cheng's clothes was clearly Rong. Concubine."
"Concubine Rong?"
The Queen couldn't help but think of the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother didn't like her as a queen for a day or two, and she hated Jiang Xinyue even more.
"That's her!"
Jiang Xinyue's expression was indignant: "The emperor has clearly found out the real culprit, but he didn't tell me, and let the queen take the blame. Thanks to a female officer in the dressing room who reported it to me, Xie Zhangyi from the dressing room was once there." I found out that there was something in Nanny Cheng's clothes. I found out about it. I couldn't believe that the Xuanjing Division couldn't find out the matter. But they found out clearly, but didn't tell me. Do you think we all made a mistake before? The emperor liked Concubine Rong instead of Concubine Shu when he was young?"
The queen's mind was so electric that she almost stopped thinking because of Jiang Xinyue's words.
If this is the case, then the emperor has hidden it too deeply.
"Concubine Rong once told me a secret in order to provoke me to deal with Concubine Shu."
She whispered in the Queen's ear: "It was Concubine Shu who killed the child in her belly."
So it is logical that the emperor executed Concubine Shu. Was he actually avenging Concubine Rong?
"Concubine Zhenxian went to Yikun Palace?"
Concubine De stroked the golden book she had just received, and a sinister light flashed in her eyes: "She couldn't wait to go to the Queen to apply eye drops on me. Is she afraid that the Queen would deal with her if she got the Phoenix Seal?"
Lu Yin stirred the handkerchief in her hand: "What should we do? Should we explain it to the Queen?"
The emperor had earlier said that he would hand over the gold book to his empress and ask her to help the concubine Xian take care of the harem, but the empress went to Yikun Palace in the past two days and kept silent about this matter.
The queen was allowed to misunderstand that both the Phoenix Seal and the Golden Book were in charge of the Concubine Xian.
"Explain what? The emperor gave the golden book to me for safekeeping. Do you want me to refuse and give up both the phoenix seal and the golden book to Jiang Xinyue?"
Concubine De lost the position of the first of the four concubines to the virtuous concubine. She was a little upset and reflected on herself. Did she pretend to be Buddhist too much, so the emperor felt that she was not qualified?
So this time, she wanted to let the emperor see her ability to govern the Sixth Palace.
As for the queen, to this day, she doesn't want to flatter anyone anymore.
Jiang Xinyue came out of the Queen's inner hall, her eyes fell on the little palace maid who had just blocked the door, and she took out an ice-sun green jade bracelet with excellent water quality and color from her wrist: "She is a loyal protector, and she deserves to be rewarded."
But the intimidation in those eyes made the little palace maid tremble with fear, and she didn't dare to refuse at all, and the hairs all over her body stood up.
The Concubine Xian was warning her, telling her to shut her mouth and know what to say and what not to say.
otherwise……
After leaving Yikun Palace, Jiang Xinyue's expression turned cold, and her eyes were full of murderous aura.
Jiang Chuan waved his hand, and there was a circle of red tooth marks around the tiger's mouth, which was already bleeding.
Jiang Xinyue took a look and said, "Go to the Taiyuan Hospital later and ask Dr. Yan to take a look at it. Human teeth are also poisonous."
Jiang Chuan nodded: "Empress, that little palace maid..."
Jiang Xinyue smiled: "Go and inform the people in the Xuanjing Division that I lost a priceless bracelet when I came to see the Queen. It was given to me by the Emperor."
Jiangchuan knew that his mother-in-law never did business at a loss.
After the emperor had a big quarrel with the queen yesterday, he sent away most of the palace people, which just made it easier for his wife to make a surprise attack today.
I chose to come during the busy lunch time. There were not many people in the Queen's Palace, and the rest were busy working. In the huge Yikun Palace, there was only one maid guarding outside.
Jiang Xinyue walked to the gate and asked Jiang Chuan to cover her mouth, while she led the magpie to approach the queen's palace.
Jiangchuan didn't know what her mother-in-law heard, but it must have been something big, otherwise her face wouldn't be so ugly now.
In the Chengqian Palace, the emperor read the letter from Chang'an at a glance. The more he read, the more angry he became on his face.
"Bang!"
His fist landed hard on the mahogany table. Bloody wounds appeared on Emperor Xuanwu's hands, and the entire Chengqian Palace knelt on the ground.
When Wang Dequan saw this, he quickly asked Tang Shiliang to get the golden medicine: "Your Majesty, you must not injure your dragon body. If Concubine Xian sees it, she will feel distressed."
After hearing the word "virtuous concubine", Emperor Xuanwu's anger subsided a little. Because of the incident of "Rong Fei", he felt ashamed of Jiang Xinyue, so he said: "The king Dequan will serve my pen and ink. I will make Jiang Yanxi an imperial envoy to go on my behalf." Investigating Official Corruption Cases in Guangdong.”
The Zhu family was just a local emperor in Chang'an, but they dared to reach into his harem, saw that he punished the queen, and threatened him with the father of Concubine Yu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
You know, if the empress hadn't been willing to hand over the Phoenix Seal and bite herself to death to be the one who put the phosphorus powder, the emperor would have ordered the entire Zhu family to be executed.
Okay!
Then let's go head-to-head and see who is the tough one.
Jiang Yanxi was able to obtain evidence of Shangguan's corruption and safely evade pursuit. The emperor did not believe that he was purely lucky.
It's perfect for him to be the imperial envoy.
Yue'er is a smart woman. Emperor Xuanwu had already deeply felt this when she took advantage of the emperor's heart.
She will find out by herself who is the real culprit who wants to kill the Sixth Prince. I hope that when the time comes, she will understand... Everything he did was paving the way for her.
The queen has nothing to worry about. What is difficult is to bring down the Zhu family behind the queen.
Concubine Rong is not the focus. The focus is how to make the Queen Mother unable to open her mouth again without being scolded by officials for being unfilial.
He wants to play the long game and catch big fish.
"Your Majesty, Miss Pei from the Queen Mother's Palace wants to see you."
"Miss Pei?"
The emperor thought for a while, and a demon-like face appeared in his mind: "What is she doing here?"
"I don't know."
Emperor Xuanwu put his injured hand behind his back: "Let her in."
What will happen when a beautiful girl enters Chengqian Palace wearing thin clothes?
The Queen Mother held the corner of her lips with satisfaction, and then sighed at Concubine Rong: "The Ai family let Concubine Shu serve as your shield and deliberately pretended to be at odds with you, but you still failed to make the emperor pity you. The Ai family did this as a last resort."
