Inside the Hall of Diligence.

When asked by the emperor, the two forbidden soldiers were stunned for a moment, not sure where to start.

They have been in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion for more than a year, eating and living with the other Yulin guards who guard the Lichun Courtyard. The two took turns on duty, both to participate in the guards and to be the eyes and ears of the emperor.

Therefore, they paid more attention to the situation in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, his expression was lazy, and he caught a glimpse of them at a loss, so he simply asked directly: "Then let's talk about it first, does the Marquis of Jingyuan attach importance to the Lichun Courtyard?" ”

The words I had just heard in the Fengning Hall were still in my ears.

Although most of the thoughtful expressions at that time were based on the trend, the emperor still thought about it after all.

As soon as this question came out, the two forbidden soldiers relaxed a little.

The more specific the problem, the easier it is to deal with.

One of them immediately replied: "The prince of Jingyuan Hou attaches great importance to the Lichun Courtyard, and those Yulin troops who are responsible for guarding them are all carefully selected, and those who are strong in martial arts and loyal are the first. The prince often instructs everyone on weekdays not to pass on half a word of what they hear and see in the Lichun Courtyard. As for the prince himself, he doesn't often pass. ”

The emperor nodded secretly in his heart, and then looked at the other forbidden soldier and confirmed: "So, he still went in?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "Yes." A few times I went with the emperor, and when you were away, I went there twice.

"Once it was the day when Concubine Cheng just moved in, at that time, the prince only arranged people in the front yard, and did not meet with Concubine Cheng."

"Another time. Not long ago, when Cheng Concubine Niangniang fell into the water, she just walked to the front yard and said a few words to Cheng Concubine Niangniang in the west pavilion. ”

The emperor bowed slightly. I don't know how to think of something again: "The number of times the imperial doctor went to ask for a pulse, he wasn't there?" ”

only then did he avoid suspicion of the private meeting, and began to worry that he was not conscientious enough.

"Doctor Xu is going to ask for a pulse a few times, and he is accompanied by Mrs. Shizi."

It wasn't until this moment that the emperor's expression finally showed a trace of satisfaction.

At this time, when I think of Mrs. Wu's words just now, I am in a different state of mind.

I heard him suddenly ask, "Except for the one I personally encountered." Mrs. Jingyuan, do you still have to go to Lichun Courtyard to find trouble? ”

"Not really. During these days, there was constant turmoil in the courtyard of the second master of the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Jingyuan Hou must have had a headache for this. ”

It's not just Mrs. Wu. Even when the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but pout: "Jinting hasn't gone back yet?" ”

"Nope. Since the county lord of Kangning returned to the princess's mansion, he has closed the door and disappeared, leaving it to the Hou Mansion who will say anything. All are blocked. I heard that Princess Chengyang also sent someone to ask for a letter to release his wife. was sternly rejected by Mrs. Wu. ”

"Nonsense! Marriage is not a child's play! The emperor was angry, but he didn't want to care about their idle affairs, "The courtyard of the prince is still stable?" ”

The emperor vaguely remembered that the Queen Mother had sent a maid to Jiang Xuan, and it would definitely make some waves......

"The elm courtyard of the prince has always been stable. Even the people in the courtyard. Du An is very divided, and rarely talks about the master's affairs on weekdays. ”

"Oh?" The Emperor was slightly surprised. But he became more and more interested, remembered Mrs. Wu's actions today, and asked: "What is the relationship between Mrs. Wu and the son?" ”

This stunned the two forbidden soldiers, and they didn't dare to make rash judgments, but only recalled: "Mrs. Jingyuan has very little contact with the prince. Especially Mrs. Shizi, she almost didn't go to say goodbye. I heard that it was Mrs. Wu who meant at first, saying that the prince was not in good health, and as soon as Mrs. Shizi got married, she was exempted from morning and dusk. ”

"Then she really doesn't want to say hello?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow.

"Unless the New Year's Festival, or Mrs. Wu is invited, I never see Mrs. Shizi go to Qinyi Courtyard."

Another person followed up and added: "Moreover, it is said that Mrs. Shizi has always called Mrs. Jingyuan 'Madam', and has never called her 'mother', even when she got married and recognized her relatives, it was no exception......

This frightened the Emperor.

remembered that I had seen the Lu family twice before, and it all gave people a feeling of weakness.

Especially when she was tested in King Jing's Mansion at that time, her somewhat childish tears were even more impressive.

I didn't expect such a little girl to be so tough when facing Mrs. Jingyuanhou.

If someone else were changed, the emperor might not know what he would think, but the emperor's heart was getting deeper and deeper for the Wu family, so he only felt that Lu Qingrong's behavior was a little interesting, and he unconsciously stood on her side......

"Alright, go down!" After the emperor's order, he suddenly ordered: "These days, you should pay attention when walking in the palace, it is best not to run into Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis, you started to take her away, she will definitely be able to recognize you." ”

The emperor secretly said that since someone wanted to let their trust in Jiang Xuan no longer exist, then it was up to them to think like this.

By pretending not to know, you can see more thoroughly what they want......

At this moment, Mrs. Wu, who returned to the Hou Mansion, could never have imagined that this would be the result.

She was still secretly happy, planning her next move, only when the emperor's trust in Jiang Xuan had been greatly reduced.

Lu's mother was quite worried about her plan: "Let's ...... Do you really want to get your hands dirty? ”

"Of course not!" Mrs. Wu did not forget to be cautious, "Wait a little longer, Master Hou's health has been deteriorating these days, and the situation is already not good, if you can catch up...... We don't have to do anything else! ”

Of course, Mother Lu knew what she was waiting for, but her heart was uncontrollably up and down.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu is a good talker, and she really hasn't acted rashly.

On the side of Yuyuan, Lu Qingrong knew that Qinyi Courtyard was unusually quiet, but he was also happy to be quiet.

She is pregnant, she doesn't want to think too much, but she doesn't forget to let people pay attention to the movements over there at any time.

However, the biggest disturbance she has suffered these days has come from the He Mansion.

He Kai and Qiu Muyun took turns to fight, and they had to come to see each other every three or five times.

Lu Qingrong was not afraid that they would ask to see him, and the instructions that were closed behind closed doors had been passed down a long time ago, and now that they came again, the porter could be blown away directly, and they didn't have to report it to themselves.

Unexpectedly, they still didn't give up, and even blatantly intercepted them when they left the house. If Jiang Xuan hadn't sent a lot of guards, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult to drive them away easily.

And there is a reason why they are so persevering.

Although the emperor only beat He Qingwan with twenty court rods at the beginning, it was obvious that his subordinates were merciful. He Qingwan's injuries look terrifying, but in fact, they have not hurt their muscles and bones, as long as they honestly lie on their stomachs to heal their injuries, there will always be a day when they will heal.

But the emperor was not angry with the He family on the surface, which did not mean that they could escape this catastrophe.

The power of that oracle was something they had not anticipated.

Since the emperor's edict to punish He Qingwan spread in the capital, the courtiers who had no way to greet him on weekdays rushed up and began to participate in matters related to the He family repeatedly.

All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of musicals, and the things played were strange.

He Kai bore the brunt of the attack and became the target of public criticism.

Originally, he was a courtesy man, and he was mainly idle, doing little, and naturally making fewer mistakes, but he was forced to pick out many details.

Among them, the most absolute is the old Huang Li who was promoted from the head of the sixth grade to the middle of the fifth grade, which was turned out and criticized very much, saying that his evaluation results were not good, and he really should not have such a leapfrog promotion, and suggested that the saint should investigate this matter in detail.

Originally, it was the handwriting of his brother-in-law Qiu Yongan, the captain of the horses, where can he afford any detailed investigation. Therefore, the people in the Literature and Selection Department of the Ministry of Officials and the Examination Department all complained about hard practice, feeling that they were going to be implicated by the He family for no reason......

And He Kai's brother He Di was not spared.

He is just a person who is far away in Linfen, Shanxi, and many people say that he is not strict in his studies......

The oldest participation is from He Zhiyuan.

His participation in the political affairs of the political envoy in Shandong was recounted one by one by some old and idle courtiers, such as accepting large bribes when supervising the grain route, colluding with local profiteers when he went to Yanzhou Mansion to supervise official affairs, and so on.

Even the romances of his early years have been ripped out a lot to prove that his virtue is lacking.

The strange thing is that the old things have been liquidated so much, and no one has mentioned the matter of harmony and separation that caused a sensation in Jinan City at the beginning.

It can be seen that the courtiers are not stupid and know what to say and what not to say. (To be continued.) )
