"The second man of the Zhu family sent a letter to the imperial concubine?"
Concubine Wen looked at the unfamiliar little eunuch: "Which palace are you from? Why did Zhu Erlang ask you to deliver the letter that Zhu Erlang wanted to send to the empress?"
The little eunuch bowed slightly: "Slave Xiaoganzi used to serve in front of the Queen. After the Queen passed away, the servant was responsible for sweeping the Fengxian Palace and guarding the Queen's spiritual place. Concubine Wen, the servant is from the Zhu family. "
He took out a token, and it was indeed engraved with a red character, which Concubine Wen had seen on Fenyun before.
She then accepted the letter dubiously: "But the Imperial Concubine has been living in Chengqian Palace these days and has never come back."
Xiao Ganzi looked anxious: "But this letter, the person sent by my Erlang to deliver it said that it is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed for a moment. Concubine Wen, I can't leave Fengxian Palace for too long, and I can't enter Chengqian Palace. Can you trouble me?" Send it over quickly."
After she left, wouldn't Concubine De become the king in Hexi Palace?
But the little eunuch's anxious look doesn't look fake...
She stamped her foot and said "Ouch", then turned around and told Mu Tan: "Be sure to keep an eye on Concubine De, and don't allow her to run around. It's best to close the door. If you really can't stop her, follow her wherever she goes. I understand. ?"
Mu Tan nodded: "I will guard Concubine De at all times."
Xiaoganzi said it was urgent, so Concubine Wen felt that the letter was worth a thousand pounds, if it was related to the life of the empress...
She immediately ran.
Fortunately, Hexi Palace and Chengqian Palace were not far away from each other, so she quickly ran over: "Go, hurry in and pass the message, saying that Concubine Wen has something urgent to see."
Jiang Xinyue thought Concubine De was in trouble, so she quickly called Concubine Wen in. She was startled by how sweaty she was: "What's wrong with you? Concubine De wants to kill you?"
Concubine Wen waved her hand, gasping for air, and before she spoke, she shook off the deformed letter in her hand: "Yuzhou... A letter from Zhu Erlang of Yuzhou... One hundred thousand... One hundred thousand is urgent."
Jiang Xinyue quickly handed the grape ice bowl to Shuangsheng, raised her hand, took the letter and tore it open.
Zhu Erlang's vigorous and powerful handwriting appeared on the paper: "There is a drought in Yuzhou. Someone took advantage of the drought and hid a stele under the mud in the middle of the dried lake. On the stele was engraved the words "Heaven brought disaster and the Jiang Dynasty was prosperous". Officials from the Ministry of Punishments visited this place. Bring the stone tablet back to the capital. If I stop it, the emperor may suspect that the emperor is forming a clique for personal gain, so he wrote a letter asking the emperor to make plans early. The stone tablet should arrive in the capital on the same day as the letter. I hope the emperor is safe."
It was signed Zhu Qianyi, and there was a seal on the name that could not be forged.
Jiang Xinyue's heart skipped a beat, and what Concubine Wen had said to her before came into her mind. The official from the Ministry of Justice that Zhu Qianyi mentioned was the one who Concubine Wen said when she was in the palace, who had asked her father for leave for a long time. It was a spy arranged by Duke Cheng.
She looked at Concubine Wen: "When the emperor went to Hexi Palace yesterday to tell you that he wanted you to move to the palace, did you tell the emperor about that?"
Concubine Wen nodded: "I've said it..."
The emperor is a busy man and it is difficult to see him in the harem. Concubine Wen has been thinking about what Jiang Xinyue told her. It is not easy to see the emperor now. Besides the palace move, she must handle Jiang Xinyue's affairs.
So she pretended not to understand and said that there was a supervisor in the Ministry of Punishment. Because Mr. Jiang went to the palace, she asked her father for leave, but her father was afraid that Mr. Jiang would come back and cause trouble for him and did not want to agree. , her father really had no choice but to agree.
Unexpectedly, the boss left for several months, which frightened her father to write her a letter to complain.
At that time, the emperor also asked who was the other chief of the Ministry of Punishment besides Ma Yiyang. How could he leave his post without permission?
Concubine Wen replied at that time: "She must be a disciple of Duke Chengguo!"
The emperor turned to stare at her: "What should I say?"
"Because my concubine's father saw that the principal went to the Chengguo Palace after taking leave. My father still felt strange! But at the time, he saw it by chance and felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he ignored it. But I thought about it later. Concubine De was unhappy because the imperial concubine had snatched the first of her four concubines. Concubine Chen thought it was strange that the chief minister was working under Jiang Shangshu, but he was a member of Duke Cheng. of."
Concubine Wen has been in the palace for more than ten years. She has always been straightforward and will not mince words. When she said such words, it did not make people think that she was instigated by Jiang Xinyue.
Concubine Wen thought for a while and then said: "After the emperor went to court today, I left my concubine's father and Jiang Shangshu to discuss matters in the imperial study."
The people talking about it must be Cheng Guogong and the person in charge!
The emperor is today's business, today's Bi's temperament, now that we have discovered the clues about Duke Cheng, we will never allow it to be discussed later.
Stone tablet!
The stone tablet engraved with "Heaven brings misfortune, and the Jiang Dynasty rises again" was also entered into the palace today.
Jiang Xinyue tore the letter into pieces and gave it to Jiang Chuan: "Burn it."
Concubine Yu also stepped forward with concern: "Do you want us to go together?"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "No, you have to pretend you don't know anything. I can go alone."
It's not about pretending to be pitiful in front of the emperor. It's about the country, the country, and the country. There's no point in pretending to be pitiful.
She was going to intercept the head of the Criminal Department.
After the horse drove into the imperial city, it stopped at the entrance of the palace. Doctor Hu had already received the news and was waiting inside the palace gate. Empress Dowager De was going to kill everyone in the Jiang family today.
This stone tablet was not newly engraved, but was prepared by the Imperial Concubine Concubine Chengguo shortly after Jiang Xinyue was favored.
Before the emperor knew about the severe drought in Yuzhou, Duke Chengguo's office had already received a secret report, so Duke Chengguo sent people to transport the stele into the city, dig up the river bed, and bury the stele inside.
If Empress De Fei hadn't stabbed herself in order to escape from the murder of the concubine, she would have come in person today.
Before Dr. Hu came, Concubine De asked him to be careful of the imperial concubine.
Be careful about what?
It was just her beauty that charmed the emperor, and she was no match for his mother-in-law.
She didn't know that Chief Lin was going to bring the stone tablet into the palace today, so how could she stop him?
After receiving the news from Master Lin, Imperial Physician Hu asked four eunuchs to come forward and take out the stone tablet from the carriage. Naturally, Duke Cheng Guo could not come forward, as he could not let the emperor think that this matter involved the previous dynasty.
Although their original intention is to bring down the Jiang family, they have to work hard on the surface.
The palace corridor of the Yongchang was empty, and the washed silver-black floor tiles and walls flashed with silver light. An uneasy feeling surged into the heart of Imperial Physician Hu: "It's strange, this road is not so quiet when we come here! "
"I have people block the entrance, so of course it will be quiet."
The woman came with a charming figure: "Mr. Hu is not serving Concubine De in the side hall of Hexi Palace, so what are you doing here?"
She looked behind Dr. Hu with a playful look: "Isn't this Chief Lin from the Criminal Department? When did my father's subordinates get so close to De Fei's people?"
As she spoke, she walked faster and faster, coming towards him.
