Jiang Yue looked down at Wen Qingzhu suspiciously: "This is what that girl taught you to say?" ”

Wen Qingzhu replied calmly: "No, Miss let the slave make her own decisions." The slave maid didn't lie, the night Xiaomeng was killed, if it wasn't for Master Su to clear the suspicion for the slave and maid, the slave and maid might have been imprisoned in the prison and beheaded, and after that day, the slave and maid always remembered Master Su in her heart. ”

Jiang Yue knew about this matter, investigated the case overnight, and even recurred from the old disease.

It still happened during the interrogation of Zhu'er, and Jiang Yue felt that this reason was very appropriate.

But these words were the decisions she made after she went to meet Wen Qingzhu.

On the Jiangnan side, there has been no news back for several days.

Jiang Yue sent someone over that night to see the progress of Su Huo's side.

For the next two days, Wen Qingzhu was still serving by the emperor's side.

But on this day, Jiang Yue took her to Concubine Hui's Chengming Palace.

Concubine Hui, who came out to greet Jiang Yue, had a flash in her eyes the moment she saw Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu's heart sank, Concubine Hui had discovered her true identity?

But soon, Concubine Hui returned to normal, stepped forward, and went to the house with Jiang Yue.

After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu stood next to him and waited.

Jiang Yue and Concubine Hui talked about the Wei family.

"I heard that Wei Yang went to visit Master Wei?"

Concubine Hui poured tea for Jiang Yue and replied: "Well, the second grandfather's health has always been not very good, and Your Majesty also knows it, and he is short-tempered, but fortunately, with the second grandmother here, the family can stop a little." ”

Jiang Yue took Concubine Hui's tea and asked again: "Are there any children of the new generation of the Wei family who are outstanding in studying?" ”

Concubine Hui understood what Jiang Yue meant, and nodded: "There are those who stand out, but if they are put in the capital, it is not enough to see, the second grandfather is a strict person, and he is only willing to let him out if he is admitted to the lifting of people, this matter The concubine asked Dejia to persuade him, but the second grandfather was too stubborn, and he didn't even listen to the words of the second grandmother, and Dejia came back." ”

After hearing this, Jiang Yue fell silent.

Is it really that the children of the Wei family are inferior to others?

Jiang Yue felt that it was not necessarily.

Wei Feng joined the Praetorian Guard that year, and he specially examined his knowledge, which was two points better than that year's Tanhua.

Thinking of the imperial examinations in recent years, Jiang Yue's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The gradual exclusion of the people of the Wei family may not be the reason for the children of the Wei family themselves.

I don't know why, Jiang Yue thought of the words that Wen Qingzhu said in the mourning hall.

In the thirty years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, Taizu has attached great importance to the imperial examination, but he has also reduced talents in an eclectic manner.

People who don't like to rely on their ancestors as officials are usually excluded.

In the first few decades, the Great Qi Dynasty was full of talents, and the country developed rapidly, laying the foundation for the prestige of today's Great Qi.

But now, Jiang Yue thought about it carefully and found that the people who could gain a foothold in the court had intricate relationships.

The humble scholar is no more.

Jiang Yue's preoccupied Li Kaikai Jingping Palace.

Wen Qingzhu followed, and when he was about to walk out of the palace gate, he was stopped by a grandmother behind him.

"Miss Zhu'er, just now Niangniang forgot to give something to Your Majesty, please ask the girl to go back with the old slave."

Raising her eyes and looking at the Jingping Palace behind her, Wen Qingzhu probably knew the reason why Concubine Hui left her.

When she got inside, the grandmother did not come in, but stayed outside the door and closed the door.

Wen Qingzhu glanced at it, and came out of Concubine Hui on the main seat, and the rest of the people who were waiting all retreated.

"Slave and maid, see Concubine Hui." Wen Qingzhu bowed first.

Concubine Hui pointed to the position next to her: "Miss Zhu'er, sit down, this palace has something to say to you." ”

Wen Qingzhu walked over and sat down, and Concubine Hui took out an orchid hosta and handed it to her.

"Do you know this?"

After taking a look, Wen Qingzhu only knew that this hosta was made by Sigongtai, and it must have been awarded to a concubine on a whim by the emperor.

"I don't know."

Concubine Hui's voice was melancholy: "This hosta was given to her by His Majesty when Xu Meiren went to bed for the first time, according to the grade of the beauty, she can't sleep twice a month, but at the end of the month, Xu Meiren happened to meet His Majesty when she passed by Calyx Terrace, and that night His Majesty left Xu Meiren again, that day, His Majesty was originally going to Chengming Palace of Li Guifei." ”

"So Xu Meiren offended Concubine Li Guifei, so she was demoted to the cold palace?" Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Hui.

But I saw Concubine Hui pick up the orchid hosta in her hand: "No, but Xu Meiren is pregnant, and Li Guifei was the first to find out, and the palace maid next to her took this hosta to ask for help from the palace, but when the palace rushed over, she found that the fetal pill had been poured down." ”

Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt very strange, why did Xu Meiren give birth to a dog egg since she drank the fetal pill.

Concubine Hui said again: "But at the end of last year, the palace found that Lord Lu went to the cold palace a little too often, and then I knew that there was a prince in the cold palace. ”

Wen Qingzhu's breath stagnated, and he stared at Concubine Hui: "That lady now knows the prince, what are your plans?" ”

This time, Concubine Hui did not answer her words directly, but instructed the people outside: "Come on, go and ask Imperial Doctor Gan to come here." ”

In less than two quarters of an hour, a physician of about thirty years old arrived in front of them.

"Weichen see Concubine Hui." Imperial Physician Gan gave up his hands, and he was still carrying a medical kit behind his back.

Concubine Hui retreated left and right and gave Imperial Doctor Gan a seat.

Imperial Physician Gan was uneasy, and when he sat down, he saw that Zhu'er of Qianyuan Palace was actually sitting on the main seat.

He instantly thought of the dog in the cold palace.

Could it be that Concubine Hui bought Zhu'er?

Concubine Hui turned her head to Wen Qingzhu and said: "Before you found out about the Eighth Prince, Imperial Physician Gan has always been taking care of him in secret, when Xu Meiren drank the fetal pill that night, it was also configured by Imperial Physician Gan, and the palace also found out that before Xu Meiren entered the palace, there was a fiancé of a childhood sweetheart, who happened to be surnamed Gan, and was the third son of the Gan family who had practiced medicine for generations in the local area. ”

After hearing these words, Imperial Physician Gan stood up in a cold sweat, knelt down with a plop, and begged for mercy with a trembling voice: "Hui, Concubine Hui Niangniang spare her life, Wei, Weichen is guilty, I beg Concubine Hui Niangniang to forgive her sins, don't anger Xu Meiren, and don't anger the prince." ”180

At this point, Wen Qingzhu finally understood.

Why did Concubine Hui know about the existence of the dog before, but she kept moving.

It turned out that she was investigating who helped Xu Meiren back then.

The physical evidence is in the Hall of Making, and the certification is now available.

In this way, the identity of the eighth prince can be made public.

Seeing Wen Qingzhu's expression relaxed, Concubine Hui knew that she understood, so she turned her head to Imperial Physician Gan and said, "Don't worry, this palace is not trying to anger you and Xu Meiren, but now, this palace needs you to testify and prove the identity of the Eighth Prince." ”

Imperial Physician Gan raised his head abruptly and looked at Concubine Hui in a daze.

But I saw Concubine Hui pick up the orchid hosta in her hand: "This palace has found out, this hosta was sent to Jingping Palace by you, and the human and material evidence are all there, as long as you cooperate with the palace and the bamboo girl, the eighth prince can restore his identity." ”

Imperial Physician Gan's eyes turned red, he knelt down, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Concubine Hui." ”

After leaving Jingping Palace, Wen Qingzhu was about to go to Qianyuan Palace when he was stopped by Jiang Yijia halfway.

"Stop!"

Wen Qingzhu's current identity is still a palace maid, and she can't conflict with Jiang Yijia.

She turned around and saluted Jiang Yijia: "The slave has seen Princess Yijia." ”

Ziyu, who was standing beside Jiang Yijia, stepped forward in a few steps and snatched the box in Wen Qingzhu's hand.

Wen Qingzhu hurriedly explained: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is a pastry given to Your Majesty by Concubine Hui. ”

After Ziyu opened the box, there was a plate of glutinous rice cakes inside.

Jiang Yijia saw that it was actually this thing, and her eyes were extremely disgusted: "This kind of food can actually please my father, I really don't know what my father likes!" ”

Wen Qingzhu said patiently: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please return the things to the slave maid, the slave maid will go back to serve the emperor." ”

Who knew that Jiang Yijia laughed sinisterly: "This thing Ziyu will be sent over for you, you can go with the palace to see the concubine." ”

Looking left and right, this place is a place where people come and go, Wen Qingzhu is not easy to start, so he can only follow Jiang Yijia to Chengming Palace.

When she arrived at the house, Jiang Yijia asked her to wait and went in first.

It's June, and it's the hot time, and Jiang Yijia lets the sun shine where she stands.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Wen Qingzhu was sweating.

But no one inside came in and called her.

Wen Qingzhu didn't understand that this was Concubine Li deliberately grinding her.

Thinking about it, Wen Qingzhu could only guess that after she came back, Jiang Yue pampered Ah Li, thinking that she was Ah Li's person.

Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu's face was red, and his lips were pale.

Coupled with the fact that she also wore a layer of human and leather masks on her face, Wen Qingzhu felt that she couldn't stand like this.

Just as Wen Qingzhu was about to decide to faint, someone inside finally came out to call her.

"Come in."

When I finally arrived at the house, a refreshing cold air came to my face.

Suddenly cold and hot, Wen Qingzhu only felt a tremble all over his body.

She curtsied her knees and saluted Li Guifei: "The slave maid has seen Li Guifei. ”

Li Guifei was eating lychees with Jiang Yijia, squinted at her, and did not speak.

If he didn't get the master, Wen Qingzhu wouldn't be able to stand up.

But the knee-bending posture was too tiring, and coupled with the alternation of hot and cold, Wen Qingzhu felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

I'm afraid I'm going to get sick.

When Wen Qingzhu was trembling and unsteady, Li Guifei finally spoke: "Get up." ”

Wen Qingzhu wanted to stand up, but his body went weak and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the grandmother who was waiting by Li Guifei's side stepped forward and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous! As the female official in charge of the Qianyuan Palace, she actually lost her honor in front of the concubine! ”

Wen Qingzhu was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't lift up a little strength.

She tried to refute, but found that her throat was on fire.

But Wen Qingzhu still heard Jiang Yijia complaining: "It's too hot, come on, go and bring a few ice basins over and put them in." ”

Seeing that Wen Qingzhu simply lay down and did not move, the grandmother became serious: "Someone! Drag her out and scold her twenty! ”

"Wait!" Concubine Hui's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Wen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, she finally waited for the savior, otherwise she was really afraid that she couldn't help but turn the poison in this room upside down.

After Concubine Hui came in, she immediately instructed the palace people: "Hurry up and bring Zhu'er back to Qianyuan Palace and go to the imperial doctor to see." ”

The people behind him immediately helped Wen Qingzhu up, but Li Guifei stood up with a cold face.

"Concubine Hui, this is the Chengming Palace of this palace, not your Jingping Palace!"

Since she decided not to endure anymore, Concubine Hui changed her normal state, stared at Li Guifei, and did not back down at all: "Li Guifei, Zhu'er is a person from Qianyuan Palace, a person from His Majesty, and not a person you can dispose of at will!" Please also keep your eyes open and see this clearly! ”

In the past, Concubine Hui had never given Li Guifei face so much, not to mention that this was still in Li Guifei's Chengming Palace.

Concubine Hui came in directly to rob people, which directly slapped Concubine Li Guifei at all!

Li Guifei wants to be arrogant, how can she tolerate Concubine Hui being so presumptuous.

She shouted angrily, "Someone! Someone! Catch these trespassers in Chengming Palace for this palace! ”

In an instant, several palace people surrounded him.

But when Concubine Hui came over, she was naturally prepared, and took out the imperial gold medal given to her by the emperor: "Concubine Li, you dare to be presumptuous!" ”
