Chapter 048: Fight Back
(Thanks to kssherry, thelionking, and battlefield girls for their gifts~)
After Zheng Heng was injured, Concubine Shun knew very well. When she heard Zhang's request to Wenzhou Mansion to arrest the murderer, she also smiled.
It's strange that this murderer can be found.
After this temptation, Concubine Shun knew that Zheng Heng had no escort force around him, and moreover, Zhou Dian sent Zheng Heng's calligraphy and paintings for the previous competition, which were still like flowers, and they were indeed seen by Concubine Shun before.
At this point, Concubine Shun's suspicion of Zheng Heng has faded a lot.
It's just that Concubine Shun's mood is not comfortable, because the purpose of her trip to Hedong Road has not been achieved.
Gantang Yaji is just a pretense, and there are actually two things that Concubine Shun has to do. The first is to find out the news of Hongzhuti, and the second is to test the attitude of the Pei family.
So far, neither of these things has gone well.
Since Hongzhu body appeared in Yudong School Palace, it must be related to Yudong teachers and students. In the past two days, in addition to sending people to secretly investigate, Concubine Shun also met with many teachers and students of Yudong Women's School in the name of viewing talents and worshipping learning, and took the opportunity to see their calligraphy and paintings.
but they got nothing.
As for testing the Pei family's attitude, it made her even more depressed.
The day after the end of the Gantang Yaji, someone from the Pei family came to visit Yingyan Courtyard. It was the patriarch's wife of the Pei family and Pei Guang's wife Lu who came.
The Lu family's attitude was respectful enough, and the congratulatory gifts sent were heavy enough, which made Concubine Shun quite satisfied, and at the same time, she secretly thought that the Pei family was really knowledgeable.
It's just that after Lu said goodbye with a smile, Concubine Shun reacted. She didn't get a little bit of the Pei family's situation from the Lu family, but the situation in Jingzhao and the palace, she revealed a lot.
After being reminded by the grandmother beside her, Concubine Shun remembered that the Lu family was Lu Guanzhi's eldest daughter. Who is Lu Guanzhi? The powerful minister of Yonglong, the powerful minister!
When the current officials mentioned Lu Guanzhi, they all gritted their teeth with hatred, but they had to praise from the bottom of their hearts: "Lord Lu is really Zai Fuye!"
After meeting the Lu family, Concubine Shun knew that if she wanted to get any secrets from the Pei family's back house, it was estimated that it was hanging.
All kinds of disadvantages made Concubine Shun feel quite irritable. After going around the Yingyan Courtyard a few times, she gradually calmed down, and then ordered: "Send Qiu Yangge to see the main palace." ”
In the final analysis, many clues are still in Yudong School Palace.
At the same time, in the Pei family's study, Pei Ding's father and son were discussing the plan sent by Zheng Heng.
The beautiful old man Pei Guang stroked his long hair and sighed: "This little girl is really ruthless." Do what she says, it is estimated that Concubine Shun can't wait to never come to Hedong! This is equivalent to returning ten swords, this kind of temperament will be repaid, I like it!"
"......" Pei Ding was speechless for a while. I like something or something, it's really hard to answer.
After thinking about it, he said, "Father, this is not a retribution. Ordinary people who are stabbed twice will think about how to return it. ”
Not to mention Wei Junxiang's disciple.
In the past, Fan Ruiqing, the secretary of the country, said to Wei Junxiang, "There is no hero to make the erector famous", but Wei Junxiang turned around and made it difficult, and he singled out the four doors and six schools of the Guozijian, and all of them won, which almost made Fan Ruiqing vomit three liters of blood.
If you suffer a loss, you must return it, it is estimated that Wei Junxiang's teacher has been strictly trained. This clearly has a precedent, how can Zheng Heng endure it?
Pei Guang obviously also remembered Wei Junxiang's glorious deeds, and said, "Yes." If anyone stabs me twice, I will definitely stab me back. We, the Pei family, can't suffer in vain. ”
Pei Ding thought to himself: Then someone has to be able to stab you. You don't even want to think about how long it's been since you've left Fuchu?
However, he still replied: "What my father said is that you can't suffer losses in vain, and you can't be bullied in vain. Besides, it's also good to let Concubine Shun leave Hedong early. ”
"That's a good idea. Concubine Shun is a concubine in the palace, and to deal with her, you must use the same set in the palace. This little girl is very clear. Now Concubine Shun is still receiving Yudong students?" asked Pei Guang.
Pei nodded fixedly. Concubine Shun was too anxious to hear the news of Hongzhuti, and in addition to meeting with the teachers and students of the female school, she also asked the other people from the five schools.
Pei Guang looked surprised: "I really don't know what she thinks." Although she came by the king's order, she was a concubine in the end. ”
Since the emperor let a concubine come to the temptation, it means that this temptation cannot be put on the surface. Concubine Shun is in Hedong, will she be too unscrupulous?
Although she has no heirs, she has formed an alliance with the He family, and Concubine De has pushed her to the throne. She has won the favor of the emperor in the past two years, and she is still pressing the virtuous concubine. It's too smooth in the palace, and it's inevitable that you will get a little carried away. Pei Ding replied, quite pertinently.
The harem and the former dynasty are one, so Pei Ding is quite familiar with the situation of the harem. Although it doesn't usually count anything, it is not unfamiliar if you really want to use it.
"Then go and do it. I remember that the Yingyan Courtyard was still dotted by Xie Li, and it would be better if I could knock him on by the way. Pei Guang's eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
Pei Ding thought the same way. At the same time, as the master, he has to seek justice for his subordinates. - His subordinates, but they really took two swords.
At this time, Concubine Shun did not notice that something was wrong. She still wants to get clues from Yudong's students, and there are still many people who are summoned.
Mama Yan, who was following her, began to feel that something was wrong. So, she reminded: "Niangniang, according to the slave maid, there are more people coming to Yingyan Courtyard these days, which is not good." ”
Hearing these words, Concubine Shun was alert and immediately asked, "Mama, what does this mean?"
Mama Yan is an old man in the palace, and Concubine Shun took a fancy to her sophistication, so she took her with her. Why did Mama say these things?
Mama Yan said truthfully: "After all, Niangniang is a noble person in the palace. The nobles are heavy-faced, and the appearance of the lady should not be seen by too many people. ”
Mama Yan stopped at the point, but it made Concubine Shun break out in a cold sweat. Although she came on the orders of the king, she was not one of the emperor's secret guards after all.
She is the emperor's concubine, even if she comes to Hedong and gets nothing, the emperor will not blame. If there is something bad that comes out, then ......
She shuddered, and only said in a half-loud voice: "Fortunately, Mama reminded me, otherwise this palace would still be confused." From now on, the main palace will no longer receive those teachers and students. ”
Immediately, she issued a strict order, ordering the attendants to strengthen the guard to ensure that no one appeared in the Yingyan Courtyard.
Of course, the attendants obeyed the order and stepped up their patrols of the other courtyards. They found that someone had secretly entered the courtyard and went to the Linlang Pavilion where Concubine Shun was located.
However, when the guards asked, the palace maids and attendants beside Concubine Shun said that there was no one, not even a figure.
As a result, the guards were confused, thinking that perhaps they had mistaken it. However, this happened again the next night.
This time, the guards not only saw the people entering the Linlang Pavilion, but also saw it clearly...... That's a man!
