Back in Kunning Palace, Empress Dowager Liu immediately ordered someone to wait in Shancai Pavilion, and when she returned from Yanfu Palace, she would take her to Kunning Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The reason why info didn't go directly to Yanfu Palace to arrest people was mainly to save some face for the emperor and prevent him from stopping him.

Empress Dowager Liu's people didn't wait long in Shancai Pavilion before they saw Zhang Zhirong returning. Before Zhang Zhirong entered the door, he was stopped by them, and then he was "invited" to Kunning Palace.

At that time, Guo was also waiting in Kunning Palace to see the real show she wanted to see.

After Zhang Zhirong came in, before he could salute, Empress Dowager Liu ordered him to kneel down sharply.

Zhang Zhirong knelt down in obedience, but couldn't figure out what was going on at all. Half an hour ago, Empress Dowager Liu praised her for her good writing of the drama with a pleasant face, why did it become like this after a while.

"The bold Zhang clan dared to spread rebellion in the palace, saying, who instructed you?"

Such a big crime can be deducted, and no one can afford it.

Zhang Zhirong had a "boom" in her head, and she couldn't think for a while, but just looked at the Empress Dowager Liu with a puzzled face.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Empress Dowager Liu reprimanded again: "Do you think it's okay not to say it?" The mourners have a way to get you to speak. ”

After a long time, Zhang Zhirong regained her composure, "Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't understand what you mean." When did the concubines spread the so-called rebellion? ”

"Hmph, I don't understand. Think about the play you let the mourning family watch today, what does the demon monkey in the play call itself and what does it do? ”

understood what Empress Dowager Liu meant, and Zhang Zhirong knew that it was a disaster that came out of the play. She hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, the concubine is wronged. The play is just a story of gods and demons, and there is really no insinuation. ”

"Didn't you? Sun Wukong kept claiming that he wanted to overthrow the Jade Emperor and become the master of the Three Realms himself, isn't this some kind of hint? Even if you don't have the intention of rebellion, you are inciting people's hearts, which is also a great crime. ”

The so-called crime of wanting to add to it, there is no excuse, Empress Dowager Liu is clearly targeting Zhang Zhirong, no matter how hard she explains, Empress Dowager Liu refuses to believe it.

Zhang Zhirong insisted on not admitting the charge, and the interrogation could not continue, so Guo proposed: "Queen Mother, Zhang does not admit guilt to death, it seems that he must be punished." ”

But Empress Dowager Liu did not take her suggestion, and only ordered someone to take Zhang Zhirong down to take care of her.

Guo asked unwillingly: "Queen Mother, why don't you torture her to confess?" ”

Empress Dowager Liu half-leaned on the chair and shook her sleeves, "You, you just can't hold your breath." You said that you are a queen, you only know how to be willful, how will you govern the harem in the future?

You don't want to think about it, although the Zhang family is just a talented person, but the power of their Zhang family cannot be ignored, if we lynch her in the harem, will their Zhang family sit idly by? And there is not enough evidence at this time, and it is too reluctant to convict. If you really want to count her stumbling block, then find some strong evidence. ”

After being reminded by the Empress Dowager Liu, Guo thought of the things she had investigated, so she moved to the side of the Empress Dowager Liu and whispered: "The Empress Dowager, speaking of evidence, the concubine heard from the Zhang family that she heard a female storyteller say before entering the palace, and the concubine had already sent someone to check the details of the person, it was a dilapidated merchant, opened two shops, and then told stories everywhere. Do you think you can arrest her and let her testify against Zhang? ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded and said, "If you can find two to testify, it will be reasonable." Seeing that you are so concerned, then this matter will be left to you. This little thing, you shouldn't be unable to do it, right? ”

Guo said with a smile: "Please rest assured that the queen mother will definitely handle it properly." ”

――――――――

Guo's so-called proper handling is to secretly bring Yin Qianhe into the palace.

Facing the current queen, Yin Qianhe didn't feel particularly frightened, but felt very strange. What are you going to do with her, a powerless and powerless little citizen?

Guo got up and walked to Yin Qianhe's side, lowered his head and asked, "I heard that you are going around telling a story called Journey to the West?" ”

Yin Qianhe looked at her with wide eyes, "Journey to the West?" Oh, yes. Does the queen want to hear Journey to the West? ”

Guo said: "You can answer whatever the palace asks you, don't ask much." ”

"Oh, yes."

"Let me ask you, what is your relationship with the talented Zhang family?"

Yin Qianhe Cai said that the Zhang family should be Zhang Zhirong, and it is really related to her.

"The Minnu and Zhang Cairen just know each other, and she once asked the Minnu to make a few clothes for her."

"Then you told her about Journey to the West?"

Although Yin Qianhe doesn't know why she keeps mentioning Journey to the West, it can be clearly seen that she is not a good person, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.

She didn't want to involve Fan Qingtong, so she replied: "The story of Journey to the West is only known to the people's daughter, so Zhang Cairen should listen to the people's daughter." ”

Guo Shi asked again: "Only you know?" Could it be that you came up with it yourself? ”

"It's a folk girl based on the story of her predecessors."

Guo Shi didn't continue to ask, but returned to his chair and thought about it for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's easy to do." ”

Yin Qianhe looked at her smile, treacherous and proud, as if some conspiracy had succeeded. In this way, she may be a little dangerous on this trip.

"I don't know what Niangniang has to tell you to come to the people's girl?"

Guo said: "Okay, this palace will tell you." This palace wants you to do one thing, a very simple thing. If you do a good job, this palace will be rewarded. ”

Yin Qianhe raised his eyes and asked carefully, "What if you can't do it well?" ”

"Hmph." Guo sneered, "Can't do it well? Do you think the palace is a place where you can come in and go out at will? ”

"Ahh

Yin Qianhe was so shocked that he shrugged his shoulders with his breath. In this way, if she can't do what the queen explains, she will die here!

Guo said: "Don't be afraid, this palace said, it's just a small thing, as long as you are willing to do it, you will definitely be able to do it well." ”

"Yes, yes. Then please make it clear. ”

"I want you to come forward and prove that the story you tell was taught to you by Zhang, and she also instructed you to spread it around. How's that, it's simple, right? ”

Yin Qian asked puzzledly, "Evidence?" Where to testify? ”

Guo said: "Of course, it is in front of the queen mother and the emperor."

On the surface, this matter may sound simple, but when you think about it, I am afraid that it has an ulterior motive.

What is the Queen's purpose in doing this?

Zhang Zhirong once said that after the election, the emperor valued her very much, so after she entered the palace, she should be favored.

So, the question arises?

If Zhang Zhirong is favored, she will definitely be jealous, and then someone will want to harm her. The queen asked her to do this kind of thing in such an unsightly way, which is very likely to be unfavorable to Zhang Zhirong.

Although Yin Qianhe couldn't guess what to do in Journey to the West, he roughly understood that the queen must have sinister intentions. After all, she has seen too much of this standard palace fighting mode, and she can think of it with her toes.

From this point of view, things are very tricky, she is involved in the open and secret struggle between the queen and the favored concubine. She's a civilian who can't fight back, how can she get out?

The only solution seems to be to choose between the two. However, this choice is often the hardest. Choosing the queen, she is sorry for Zhang Zhirong. And choosing Zhang Zhirong may harm yourself.

She was in a dilemma for a long time, and Guo waited a little impatiently.

"Have you thought about it? What you do is up to you. But I have to remind you that you're not alone in your family. ”

"Ahh

As soon as Guo said this, Yin Qianhe had no choice. (To be continued.) )
