Not only was the palace large but there were many people there, so in order to speed up the process, they chose to divide their forces into two groups.
Jiang Yisheng and Yao Yao were responsible for understanding the situation from the living people, while Mo Qin and Feng Jun were responsible for exploring the dark and strange places in the palace.
Song Tan?
He didn't come at all.
Song Tan didn't know where he was. He came back just now, as if he was just going through the motions, specifically to test Feng Jun. Now that the test failed, he left without leaving a word.
Being an elder is so willful.
Jiang Yisheng and Yao Yao, under the leadership of the eunuch, conducted interviews and investigations on women who had lost their children.
Passing by the imperial garden pavilion, there were several concubines sitting in the pavilion, among them there happened to be Concubine Xian and the subject of the inquiry.
Concubine Xiang was now a popular figure in the eyes of the emperor, and the other concubines were jealous but had to fawn over her.
Seeing Concubine Xiang looking towards Jiang Yisheng and Yao Yao, others also noticed the two of them.
How could there be a foreigner in the harem?
Thinking of the news they heard before, someone looked at them disdainfully.
"What skills can someone at such a young age have? Isn't he just showing off?"
If you want to gain a foothold in the harem, who has clean hands? They don't quite believe this.
Someone noticed Yao Yao's face and figure and immediately became wary.
"That little girl is also a demon slayer?"
Could it be the emperor's new love?
The emperor is old and beautiful, has poor hardware and is not very good at it. He is always recruiting concubines to fill the harem, and he can do it even if his daughter is younger than him. Is it a strange thing to see beautiful beauties taken into the palace?
Concubine Xian smiled and explained, "This Miss Yao is not a Taoist demon exterminator, she is just a friend of Taoist Jiang."
Upon hearing this, the other people immediately began to make malicious speculations:
"You look so charming! Even the Taoist priest who eliminates demons is not clean!"
"Concubine Xiang, please be careful. Maybe this foxy girl climbs onto the dragon bed and you have this child in your belly..."
When Yao Yao heard these words, she was very disdainful. She didn't like that old cucumber.
"Sisters, be careful. What you think is good may not be appreciated by others."
She didn't know what made her angry. Several concubines glared at her, and one of them shouted angrily:
"How dare you! A mere pariah dares to speak ill of His Majesty! Someone come and slap me!"
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs took action after hearing the news, and the eunuchs leading the way tried to stop him in vain.
"No, no!"
Jiang Yisheng didn't even think about taking action directly. How could these ordinary people be Jiang Yisheng's opponents?
Those people were either knocked to the ground or thrown into the lake.
Several concubines were shocked, angry and frightened:
"How dare you! How can you be allowed to act wild in the palace!!"
The woman who was the first to attack Yao Yao seemed to be driven by anger. She rushed over and wanted to give Yao Yao a slap in the face.
With Jiang Yisheng here, how could she succeed?
thump--
There was another sound of falling into the water, and the concubine was also pushed into the water by Jiang Yisheng.
People around him woke up from a dream and shouted for help.
"My concubine has fallen into the water! Go down and save her!"
The other concubines were so frightened that they hid aside, fearing that they would also be thrown into the lake.
Li Bin regained consciousness after she fell into the water. She fluttered her limbs and shouted for help indistinctly.
The eunuchs and maids who had just climbed ashore jumped back into the lake like dumplings.
Finally, the concubine was rescued by a eunuch.
The scene was very chaotic.
Jiang Yisheng looked at everything stiffly, his mind going blank.
But the matter was obviously not over yet. As soon as Li Bin was rescued, she heard a palace maid exclaim:
"It's not good! Concubine Xian fainted!"
"Go and ask the doctor quickly!"
"..."
The concubine who fell into the water was not seriously injured, but she drank a few water and was very frightened.
However, Concubine Xian fainted immediately. After diagnosis, the imperial doctor said that Concubine Xian was frightened and had fetal gas. He prescribed some medicine and asked Haosheng to take care of her so that nothing like this would happen again.
-
Mo Qin had just gone to explore a few places with scary legends when someone came over to call them.
The little eunuch looked at Mo Qin and Feng Jun with sympathy, as if they were about to be in bad luck.
It was not difficult for Mo Qin to think that Jiang Yisheng and the others had caused some trouble.
Alas, I missed it, and suddenly I regretted not taking action with them.
However, luckily I caught up with the second game.
Mo Qin and Feng Jun were brought to Concubine Xian's palace.
In the main hall, Li Bin, who had changed her clothes and was still a little pale, was crying with the support of the palace maid.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us!"
"These two untouchables who don't know etiquette not only pushed me into the water, but also scared Concubine Xian to the point of trembling her fetus. If they are allowed to appear in the palace again, I'm afraid they will disturb the lives of the sisters!"
The emperor's old, overindulged face was now so dark that ink dripped from it.
"Dao Zhang Jiang, how do you explain this! I invited you here because I wanted you to protect the unborn prince, but you almost caused my beloved concubine to have a miscarriage!"
Jiang Yisheng, who originally had a guilty conscience, suddenly became angry under this question.
"I would like to ask why the concubines are saying evil things to Yaoyao!"
It is really unimaginable that those words came from the mouths of young ladies from aristocratic families. They were simply common people.
It's okay to question his ability, but it's not okay to humiliate Yaoyao.
Not to mention they want to take action!
As the head disciple, when did Jiang Yisheng suffer from such anger? He couldn't bear it.
The emperor snorted coldly and was about to reprimand when someone came out of the inner hall and said that Concubine Xiang had woken up.
He glared at Jiang Yisheng fiercely and hurried into the inner hall to see his beloved concubine.
Jiang Yisheng's ears are naturally more sensitive than ordinary people, and he can hear Concubine Xian's words intermittently.
Concubine Xian's voice was soft, "Your Majesty, is my concubine's child okay?"
"It's okay, the little prince is okay."
"Dao Zhang Jiang and the others...it was my concubine's dereliction of duty. I failed to stop them. Is Li Bin okay?"
The emperor promised, "This is not my concubine's fault. Don't worry, my concubine, I will never forgive them lightly!"
The two said a few more words before the emperor came out with an angry look on his face.
Seeing that one person was missing, he asked: "Where is another Taoist priest?"
The young eunuch on the side stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Taoist Priest is not in the palace."
Emperor: "Not in the palace?"
He invited these Taoist priests here just to ask for peace of mind and an extra layer of insurance. He didn't expect these Taoist priests to be so disrespectful, derelict in their duties, and almost harmed his unborn emperor!
"Dao Zhang Jiang, you hurt my concubines and harmed my emperor, do you know your guilt?"
The emperor's name was Taoist Jiang Yisheng, not because he respected his identity, but because he didn't know Jiang Yisheng's name at all.
Jiang Yisheng stood up straight, neither humble nor arrogant, and said:
"They were the ones who offended me first, I was just protecting myself!"
The emperor was used to being aloof and could not bear to be disobeyed again and again. He pointed at Jiang Yisheng and said tremblingly:
"Okay, okay! Protect yourself!"
"Come here! Put them in jail!"
