The 23rd Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet (2)

"But I'm afraid that this partiality will eventually make my beloved son suffer." Du Yunjin laughed slightly, although she didn't understand the conspiracy of the DPRK and China, she also understood such a simple truth. "Since he doesn't investigate, then we will investigate ourselves, I must find out the person who poisoned Ah Yu and whip the corpse to show to the public!"

She would never believe that the real culprit of the poisoning was Concubine Qing, and the reason why Concubine Qing was able to sit firmly in the position of the favorite concubine for so long was also because she had a certain skill, and she would not be stupid enough to do such a thing that obviously implicated herself. But who is the person behind it? She thought about it, but the one who lived in the Wu Palace had the biggest suspicion, but it was not the right time to do it at this time. That one has always had a dislike with Concubine Qing, if there is no certainty of victory, and the mother and son of Concubine Qing cannot be knocked down at one time, then the prince will suffer misfortune, and the final beneficiary will only be King Qing instead of her. Du Yunjin thought that with that wisdom, he would not do such a loss-making transaction.

Then for the rest, no one will be obviously suspicious. It was precisely because he couldn't think of it that Du Yunjin had to arrest him, otherwise it would be easy to dodge with an open gun, but it would be very difficult to prevent a hidden arrow.

"Let Uncle Yuan put some effort into it, check it well, and use his connections in Beijing if necessary."

"Miss......" Yan Hui suddenly raised his head when he heard Du Yunjin's last sentence, and said with a hesitant face: "Miss, if you use the connections in Beijing, I'm afraid it will cause suspicion in Jinshang." ”

Du Yunjin is naturally clear about the doubts that Yan Hui said, but now that she is alone in the East Palace, it is not easy to find out what is going on and even entering and exiting the palace gate, and she can only use the Du family's connections in Beijing. The Du family is not a rising rookie family, even if it is rejected by the emperors of the previous dynasty, it can last for a hundred years, such a family certainly has its own way of survival. Du Bocheng led the troops outside, and if there was no one to support him in Beijing, he would easily be suspicious of the emperor, but it was also a taboo for the emperor to make friends with the military generals and civil ministers, so he would not use these buried connections lightly if necessary.

"Besides, does King Qing still have any dealings with Liang Xiang?" When Liang Xiang was mentioned, Du Yunjin naturally remembered the beautiful woman he met in the imperial garden that day, as well as the scenes between her and Xiao Yu, and his heart suddenly became uncomfortable, and even his words became involuntarily cold.

"It is rumored that the candidate for Princess Qing must be the young daughter of Liang Xiang."

"He's really picky." Du Yunjin put down the teacup that had cooled down in his hand, looked at the night outside the window and said lightly. The days seem to pass quickly, and before you know it, you can change from the hot summer to the cool autumn, and maybe in a few days you will see the endless snowfall. When she was in Crescent City, her favorite thing was winter, sitting on the city gate with a fireplace, watching the vast land as far as the eye could see was covered with heavy white, reflected in the soft moonlight.

Yan Hui secretly glanced at Du Yunjin's expression, and saw that her expression did not change much, so he continued: "In two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, and I heard Ruyu say that that day is actually the palace banquet." Officials and family members of the fifth rank and above in Beijing will be invited to participate, mainly to select suitable princesses for adult princes. ”

"If that's the case, then we must choose a suitable 'princess' for King Qing!" Du Yunjin did not delve into the Ruyu in Yan Hui's words, that woman was afraid of her at the beginning, but since Xiao Yu broke it that day, she regarded that woman as half a confidant, after all, she was an old man who had served Xiao Yu for a long time, and she was naturally not bad at doing things. Although Yanhui is good, she is not a person who has stayed in the palace in the final analysis, and she is naturally not as clear as Ruyu about the rules of survival in the palace.

Outside the window, it was more deeply exposed, covering up the low-volume conversation in the house, and the wind with the coolness of autumn blew through the Mochizuki Pavilion, the highest in the East Palace, and stirred in the dreams of countless people.
