Liang Jing walked through the rose flower barrier alone and came to the end of a small corridor.
White jade vines hang down from the glazed tiles like a waterfall, covering most of the corridor.
Xue Hengzhao was dressed in light green palace clothes, reflecting the shadow of the wisteria, and he was holding a small wire filigree cage in his hand.
Liang Jing's brows have been frowning all year round, and people say he is probably thinking about people's hearts all day long.
When he saw Xue Hengzhao, he asked, "What do you want from me?"
"I wonder if Mr. Liang found out who he was looking for?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"We dug up some, but the most important ones haven't been found yet," Liang Jing said.
"You are investigating behind the Queen's back, right?" Although Xue Hengzhao was asking, his tone was very sure, "No wonder, that person is hiding deep enough."
"I will bring the matter to light as soon as possible." Liang Jing said, "If you have nothing important, don't meet with me."
"What? Manager Liang is scared?" Xue Hengzhao chuckled, "I know the stakes here, and I'm not impatient yet."
Liang Jing said nothing, but looked around warily.
There are countless eyes and ears in this palace, and of course the most terrifying thing is the invisible tongue that kills people.
Xue Hengzhao handed over the cage in his hand: "I will be a favor and help Manager Liang bring the matter to light."
There was a little rabbit in the cage, almost the same as the one the prince had before.
Liang Jing's eyes suddenly became particularly sharp and he looked at Xue Hengzhao.
Xue Hengzhao was much shorter than him, but he met her with a high-spirited gaze, without any fear: "Manager Liang, I'm here to give you a favor."
The implication was to ask Liang Jing to put down his guard and stop being hostile to her.
"You know about the rabbit?" Liang Jing's first thought was that Concubine Fu had an informant lurking in the Queen's Palace. "Who told you?"
"Mr. Liang, if you still need my help in the future, please don't interrogate me." Xue Hengzhao moved slowly, "The rabbit thing is not a secret. The prince is sick now, how can it be possible that no news leaks out?
But I think you may not know the origin of the rabbit. In fact, the rabbit was originally in the Xianfei Palace. As for why we ended up at the prince’s place, I don’t need to tell you, Manager Liang can probably guess it! "
"Then where did you get this one?" Liang Jing didn't believe that Xue Hengzhao had no way of knowing the whole story.
"That rabbit was originally caught last winter when the fifth and sixth princes went hunting together in the mountains.
Because it was too young to eat, the Sixth Prince brought it into the palace to relieve the boredom of Concubine Xian. Of course the fifth prince knows this, so it’s no surprise to me. "Xue Hengzhao actually learned from Lin Fufei that the prince had a precious little rabbit, but there was no second one in the palace, so it could only mean that it was brought in from outside.
The rabbits in the palace are all domestic rabbits raised in captivity. They are large and have short hair.
It happened that the fifth prince and his wife came to the palace to pay their respects to Concubine Fu. When analyzing the situation with Xue Hengzhao, they mentioned the recent illness of the prince.
Xue Hengzhao learned about the origin of this rabbit from the fifth prince. Although the fifth prince had not seen it in person, according to Lin Fufei's description, it should be the one they caught from the mountain.
Xue Hengzhao then asked the fifth prince to send someone to catch another little hare, one that looked almost the same as the previous one.
After the fifth prince brought the rabbit into the palace, Xue Hengzhao specially showed it to Concubine Lin Fu to make sure that it was almost the same as the prince's one.
"Mr. Liang, Concubine Xian is indeed very thoughtful, but it is very easy for the Sixth Prince to tell the truth." Xue Hengzhao said as he walked out of the corridor, "I don't need to say anything about the next thing. "
"Stay, I have something else to ask you." Liang Jing called to Xue Hengzhao.
Xue Hengzhao stopped and turned sideways.
"Do you have to side with Concubine Fu?" Liang Jing's face was as dark as water.
"Do you want me to seek refuge with the Queen?" Xue Hengzhao looked indifferent, "Manager Liang, I said I only want to protect myself."
"Others don't know, but you can't hide it from me." Liang Jing looked at Xue Hengzhao with complicated eyes, "What you mean by self-protection is very different from what others say."
"I really only want to protect myself," Xue Hengzhao said, "and the same goes for Concubine Fu. If the queen is kind and virtuous, even those with a vicious heart will not be able to shake her status.
If she cannot tolerate others, she will always kill them all in the name of eradicating dissidents. Then there must be someone who is unwilling to sit still and wait for death, so why bother just guarding me? "
"So you're not willing to stop?" Liang Jing asked.
"General Manager Liang thinks too highly of me. I just want to save my life. As for the outcome, who can predict it?" Xue Hengzhao lowered his head and smiled, "Didn't General Manager Liang tell me not to meet unless necessary? I hope the Queen The empress has no doubts about her employment from beginning to end, and it is not in vain for you to sacrifice your life for her."
Xue Hengzhao never looked back easily when walking. Liang Jing looked at her back as she left without hesitation, still with the same gloomy expression.
Just using unreasonable force on his hands, he pinched the handle of the cage until it was deformed.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xue Hengzhao is just a little palace maid.
But Liang Jing knew her weight.
Liang Jing believed that a virtuous concubine was not something to be afraid of, but Xue Hengzhao was really difficult to handle.
"Master, why are you here? It's easy to find." Liang Xiao walked over with a smile and saw the cage Liang Jing was holding in his hand. "Why... why is there another rabbit?"
Liang Jing looked at him deeply, making Liang Xiao shrink back.
"Did the empress ask you to come here?" Liang Jing strode out, "Wrap this cage well, don't let others see what's inside."
"Yes, yes, I know, little one." Liang Xiao said as he covered the cage with his robe, "It's not that the Queen is looking for you, it's that the Fourth Division has reported something and wants you to make up your mind."
Liang Jing didn't need to ask, he knew it was about the September ceremony again.
The big framework has been decided a long time ago, now it’s time to go into the details. The Fourth Division was ineffective in managing things, so mistakes were made frequently.
"The little eunuch who talked to me last time," Liang Jing suddenly remembered, "should be called Shi Dianjin. I think he is a smart man, so I asked him to be a manager at the Banking Bureau, so as not to No one touched me like a fly in that case.”
"The young eunuch surnamed Shi seems to be working in the Baochao Bureau, so you rashly put him in the Banking Bureau, maybe he can't handle it?" Liang Xiao hesitated.
"There is nothing that can't be dealt with. As long as you are smart, you can get started quickly." Liang Jing said, "You turn around and call him to me. I will ask him face to face."
"Hey, this kid is really lucky." Liang Xiao clicked his tongue. He was favored by his master, so he was lucky.
