"This slave didn't ask."
Yan'er shook her head: "My fellow countryman refused to tell me whether he was alive or dead. He only said that the emperor lost his temper and wanted to kill Ye Changzai. It was the imperial concubine who dissuaded him."
Liu Guiren received the news, and Cheng Jieyu also immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.
She knows a lot more than Liu Guiren.
While giving medicine to Cheng Jieyu's hand, Cunxin said: "Master, this Ye Changzai is too courageous. How dare she...how many lives does she have?"
"How can she do this?"
The wound on her palm was very scary. When the herbal medicine was applied, the pain made her gasp: "If she could successfully give the emperor medicine, she would no longer be in the Chuxiu Palace."
You should fly out of Chuxiu Palace and become her empress.
"Then why..."
"It's just being used as a starting point for people to plot against."
As for who plotted against her, Cheng Jieyu couldn't guess. It was some coward who wanted to obtain the Holy Favor but was afraid of being noticed by the Imperial Concubine.
Cun Xin couldn't help but shudder, and really felt a cold sweat for his master.
Fortunately, they were absent from today's dinner due to hand injuries. Otherwise, I don't know if they would have been tricked?
"Isn't the Emperor here yet?"
Cheng Jieyu didn't care about Ye Changzai's life or death. Her subordinates had already reported to the emperor that her hand was seriously injured.
Liu Guiren will definitely send someone to invite the emperor. It depends on where the emperor will come.
This is a game between her and Ye Guiren, and the bet is the emperor.
Emperor Xuanwu, who was missed by many parties, showed Jiang Xinyue the letter he had just received from an unknown place, and said in a cheerful tone: "Yueer, your cousin has written a letter. With the help of Cheng Yuan, he has received the letter from Guangdong and Guangxi. The evidence of the governor's corruption and perversion of the law is just that he is now a target of public criticism and should not appear in front of others, so he entrusted Cheng Yuan to be sent to Qinzhou."
"Who is Cheng Yuan? Does the Emperor think you are reliable?"
After the concubines entered the palace, Jiang Xinyue had already investigated their family backgrounds. How could she not know the identity of this person?
It's just a pretense in front of the emperor.
Cheng Yuan was originally a small official working under Governor Yu, but he was upright and selfless, so he offended many people and was not liked by Governor Yu. He was assigned to Yizhuang to guard those who died abnormally. The body of the victim.
To put it mildly, he was a minor official in the yamen, but to put it worst, he was just a dead guard. It was obvious that none of the living people under Governor Yu were willing to deal with him.
The night Jiang Yanxi learned that he was going to Guangdong and Guangxi to be the imperial envoy, he ran to Jiang Xinyue's cheap father and asked him where to start?
Jiang Yankun had been an official for so many more years than him, and he knew more about the forces in the DPRK and the officials from various places than he did.
He will not feel that his wings are strong and he can cope with various challenges just because the emperor reuses him at this time.
You still have to listen to your cousin. The empress said that as long as the Jiang family is obedient, their prosperity and wealth can be preserved for several generations!
After Jiang Yankun gained Jiang Xinyue's favor, he also gathered a group of officials under his command who wanted to support the sixth prince as the crown prince.
After all, if you wait until the Imperial Concubine becomes a queen to take sides, it will be far less rewarding than supporting her now.
It's easy to add flowers to a cake, but it's hard to give someone a helping hand in times of trouble. Buy it and leave as soon as possible. Good luck and bad luck depend on each other. In the future, if the sixth prince really becomes the heir apparent, they will have done their best to follow the dragon.
Among these people, there are also votes from Guangdong and Guangxi.
After some questioning, Jiang Yankun gave the name Cheng Yuan and asked him to find a breakthrough from this person.
After Jiang Yanxi entered Guangdong and Guangxi, he acted secretly. He went to Yizhuang and directly became a caretaker. It took a lot of effort to gain Cheng Yuan's trust.
Only then did he let the guard parade around the city as an imperial envoy to attract Governor Yu's attention.
Soon, the guard was regarded as an imperial envoy by them, and he was taken into the Governor's Mansion with good wine and good food.
The real Jiang Yanxi lived in Cheng Yuan's home. Together, the two of them joined forces with the guards at the Governor's Mansion to cooperate inside and outside, and then asked the guards to pretend to be paralyzed by them, making them think that the imperial minister had been bribed by them and that it was them. of one's own people, thus relaxing one's vigilance.
It took two full months for Jiang Yanxi to finally obtain evidence that Governor Yu had shortchanged the court's funds.
But when things get to this point, if Governor Yu can't react, then he is just a pig.
Unfortunately, he is not a pig, so Jiang Yanxi faces another pursuit from evil forces.
But once again, things get familiar again. This time he has experience and won't be as embarrassed as last time.
He handed the real evidence to Cheng Yuan and asked him to resign and go to the capital on the grounds that he missed his daughter. The Cheng family had children. The eldest daughter was married to a wealthy businessman in the capital, and the second daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and they never met.
It happened that Mrs. Cheng fell ill because of longing for her daughter. Cheng Yuan successfully came to Qinzhou with evidence on the pretext of taking his wife to the capital for treatment.
Jiang Yanxi and his guards hid, fighting with Governor Yu's people every day.
He knew that the most dangerous place was the safest, so he directly took over the position of guard of Cheng Yuan Yizhuang, and he was dancing under the nose of Governor Yu.
No one expected that instead of running away, he would stay in the place closest to danger.
Governor Yu was not sure whether the imperial minister had escaped or stayed in Guangdong, and he did not dare to conduct a large-scale search to avoid causing unrest and panic among the people.
We can only secretly investigate on a small scale. It will probably take half a year before we find Yizhuang, where Jiang Yankun is located.
Emperor Xuanwu laughed a few times: "You, my cousin, are completely different from your father. I will train him well in the future and become a wise minister."
What's the meaning?
Her cousin is a virtuous prime minister, but her cheap dad is completely different. Does that mean her cheap dad is a traitor?
Swearing or praising someone?
"That's why the emperor knows how to employ people, so my cousin's talents have a place to display!"
Jiang Xinyue praised the two people in one sentence: "The emperor is like Bole and a thousand-mile horse to my concubine Datangbo. Without Bole, the thousand-mile horse will become mediocre. Because of the emperor, Datangbo, the thousand-mile horse, will not be buried."
The emperor pinched her nose: "Yueer's clever mouth is making me happy again."
Jiang Xinyue smiled and ducked back.
"emperor……"
At the moment of warmth, the young eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, over at Lan Yue Pavilion, Liu Gui and Cheng Jieyu have sent people over. This..."
Jiang Xinyue's smile disappeared, and she pouted and said unhappily: "It's not just me who wants to make the emperor happy? I see that people who want to make the emperor happy are all queuing up. The emperor should hurry up and comfort your noble Liu, Cheng Jieyu Come on! Don’t be labeled as a jealous and doting concubine again, I can’t afford it.”
The emperor touched his nose, put his fist against his lips and coughed twice: "Then... I'll go and have a look."
