Wang Wengui had already taken Jiang Huaide's family to the side hall and waited for the princess to summon him.

Jiang Huaide turned his head to look at the door of the hall behind him in a little panic.

"Son, son! Father! "Dragged a child with a group of women, old and young, as soon as he entered the door, he was about to run to him, but was stopped by the people of the palace.

Jiang Huaide was immediately dumbfounded, he was in a hurry to rush back to the countryside, just to arrange for the family, but he didn't expect to be a step late, he looked at the princess sitting on it in a daze, let his wife and children call him, Mu Ran didn't agree.

All this caught him off guard, he thought that the house, the palace even the nest, no longer existed, he himself and the family did not have any threat, until something happened, and what he didn't expect was that the princess quickly found out about him, the princess moved quickly, beyond his imagination, and captured his family from the countryside dozens of miles away to the palace, this day before and after, he didn't have time to react accordingly,

The dust has settled.

Seeing his family, he was really panicked, and when he came to his senses, he kowtowed, "Princess, the matter of the slave has nothing to do with the slave family, I implore the princess to let the slave family go, and the slave family doesn't know anything." ”

Shen Wanzhen waved her hand, and asked people to take his family down.

Shen Xuanzhen's eyes were cold, staring at him, and he snorted coldly: "Your family is not guilty, is it possible that the people of the entire palace are guilty, if you plan to succeed in the plan, raid the house and destroy the door, and even the nine clans will be guilty, and the death will not only be a family, hundreds of thousands of people, don't you think that your sin is not to say that it is to ruin the life of your family, it is not an exaggeration to let you and your family die a hundred times." ”

Jiang Huaide's eyes showed panic, it seemed that the princess didn't want to let go of his family, he closed his eyes, and slammed his head on the ground, "The slave died a hundred times and the sin is hard to atone, please ask the princess to be merciful and let go of the slave's family." ”

Shen Wanzhen smiled lightly at the corner of her lips, and her gentle voice floated over his head, "It's okay to let your family go, but you want to tell me who instructed you to do it?" Who is behind it? Who are your other accomplices in the palace? ”

Jiang Huaide lowered his head and was silent, and Shen Wanzhen said firmly: "It's King Ping, right?" ”

Jiang Huaide raised his head suddenly, his face showed surprise for a moment, Shen Wanzhen didn't need him to answer, and he also got the answer, which was not wrong with her guess.

Jiang Huaide was short, lay on the ground, kowtowed and apologized, "The slave should die, King Ping has the grace to save his life for the slave, the slave's life is not his own, betraying the master, the slave deserves death, I dare not ask the master for forgiveness, I only ask the master to let my family go, whether it is killing or chopping, the slave does not complain about the master." ”

Shen Wanzhen sneered disdainfully: "What a thankful retribution, so how did you repay Prince An for his kindness to you?" ”

"The slave has no face to face the prince, and he is willing to die to apologize." Jiang Huaide was full of shame, but begged to die quickly.

"Do you think you'll be able to live until now? But if I want to spare your family, just one condition, confess to your accomplices in the house, and not hide it, if you let this princess know that you have a false word in the future, then don't blame me for being ruthless, your wife and children, I will not keep any of them, and I will protect my family. ”

"Slaves are willing to recruit." In order to save his family at this moment, Jiang Huaide recruited two people in the mansion who were bought by him, one of them was the steward of the outer courtyard surnamed Zhao, whose name was Zhao Quan, who was the person who had to be used by Concubine Han when she was in charge of the palace, and now he was very close to Concubine Han's room.

Shen Wanzhen said coldly; "Gone?"

Jiang Huaide said: "The slaves know everything they know. ”

"Is there any Pingwang eyeliner in the house?" Shen Wanzhen was very suspicious, King Ping was scheming, was he the only one who was placed in King An's mansion?

"This, the minions don't dare to do accurately." Jiang Huaide hesitated and hesitated.

"Do you know what you can't say, or are you not sure?"

"The slave is not sure, but he feels that there are others, and the slave is instructed to act, and he doesn't ask anything else, and the slave shouldn't know the way."

Shen Xuanzhen believed that he had not concealed it, and immediately ordered Wang Wengui to tie up the two moles in the house, these two people really expected to tie up with Steward Jiang, run errands to deliver letters, and get some benefits, but they didn't expect to cause a big disaster.

Wang Wengui stepped forward, shook the sleeves of his robe, and said, "Back to the princess, what to do?" Is it waiting for the prince to come back? ”

"Give a whole corpse"

Shen Wanzhen can't be soft-hearted, at this time, soft-heartedness will bury hundreds of thousands of lives in the palace, these people should have died, the traitor seeks glory, and the blood on her hands is still up to her.

The three of them were taken down, disposed of these people, and made an example of them.

Shen Wanzhen rubbed her forehead, and just wanted to walk back to the main room in the backyard, since the matter was successfully resolved, she could make up for sleep, wake up from a sleep, and then think about how to deal with King Ping.

At this moment, the maid came to report, "Princess Jingyi asks to see her." ”

Shen Wanzhen perked up and said busily: "Hurry up and invite the princess in." ”

Let's say, take the maid out of the court, just out of the main courtyard, Princess Jingyi has fallen off the sedan chair in the court, Shen Wanzhen stepped forward with a smile, took Princess Jingyi's hand, and the palace maid on one side helped the princess get off the sedan chair.

Princess Jingyi smiled and said, "Hello third sister-in-law, come over without saying hello in advance, don't disturb your sister-in-law, right?" ”

Shen Wanzhen held her hand affectionately, and the two walked side by side to the upper room, "What are you talking about, your third brother is going out, and my sister-in-law is lonely these days, but it just so happens that you are here." ”

Princess Jingyi glanced up at the blue sky and said with a smile: "There are few warm days after autumn, let's go to the garden for a walk." ”

The two held hands and entered the back garden wall door of the palace side by side, Princess Jingyi said: "Last time, thanks to my sister-in-law's decisiveness, the crisis was solved, my father-in-law has changed his temperament since the last time, he used to be informal, but now he is cautious in everything, for fear that he will make a mistake and cause a big disaster." ”

Shen Wanzhen wanted to say that a companion is like a companion tiger, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her words: "Don't be careless, maybe the danger still exists." ”

Princess Jingyi tilted her head to look at her, "Is there anything else I don't know?" Sister-in-law reminded me, this thing is not over yet, is it? ”

Shen Wanzhen thought about it now that it was not the right time, the matter was not clear, King Ping was the mastermind behind it, probably Princess Jingyi never dreamed of it, so she said: "It's hard to say about the court, the emperor ordered to search the palace, you probably heard about it, right?" ”

Princess Jingyi came to Beijing to listen to the news with this in mind, and when she heard Shen Wanzhen take the initiative to mention it, she asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Someone wants to kill your third brother, and the methods are cruel and vicious."

Princess Jingyi was surprised, "I vaguely heard some rumors in Xiangyang, I don't know the specific news, if someone harms my third brother, this matter is really strange." ”

Shen Wanzhen desperately wants to find out the truth, so as to come up with a countermeasure, King Ping's methods are vicious, brothers kill each other, and there must be unknown reasons behind him.

Shen Wanzhen changed the topic, "I only learned about marrying the prince, the royal dignity, enjoying wealth and glory, that is just the surface, the prince has a biological mother, it is really a blessing." ”

Princess Jingyi smiled: "I was raised by the Queen Mother since I was a child, and I was also lucky. ”

"The second prince has Concubine Min Gui, and she is also a blessed person, is the biological mother of the fourth emperor brother and the fifth emperor brother long gone?"

Shen Wanzhen went around in a big circle and finally asked the right question.

Princess Jingyi took a white chrysanthemum in her hand, held it in her hand to watch, and said: "The fourth brother's biological mother, Concubine Xiao, I was very impressed when I was a child, just like this plain chrysanthemum, which is light and loved by my father, but later for some reason, my father was angry and entered the cold palace. ”

Princess Jingyi was a little melancholy, paused for a moment, and said: "The fourth brother is still young, and my father ordered Concubine Xie to take care of Xie Zhaoyi at that time. ”

Concubine Xie, Shen Wanzhen entered the palace when she was newly married, Concubine Xie's eyes were complicated, and it seemed that something was hidden deeply, and the concubines in this palace were not simply as indifferent as the surface.

Princess Jingyi said again: "After Concubine Xiao died, her father's health deteriorated, and she supported it for a few years, and then she died, people said that her father often took Concubine Xiao's sideburns and often wore hairpins, late at night, the bedroom where Concubine Xiao once lived was lit, and the palace people said that the abandoned palace was haunted, that is, the palace people walked around during the day. ”

Shen Wanzhen's body was chilled when she heard this, Princess Jingyi felt it, and said: "Third sister-in-law, let's go back, late autumn, as soon as the sun sets, the wind is cold, and it freezes bad, and my third brother comes back and blames my sister for not taking care of you for him." ”

The two of them walked along the gravel path and walked out of the Half Moon Gate.
