North Door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The imperial city is divided into two parts, the palace city and the outer city, the palace city has the front hall and the harem, which is the place where the emperor lives and deals with government affairs, that is, the so-called big inside, and outside the main gate of the outer city, it is composed of various official offices, the six departments and the five military governors' palaces, plus the five temples, two prisons and two courts, almost all the core departments are here, except for the only cabinet!

Because the cabinet is between the inner and outer courts, it is directly in the Chengtian Gate.

It stands to reason that the fastest way to enter the palace from the Criminal Department is to enter from the Chengtian Gate, pass through the three major halls, and drive straight in!

But Zhu Changluo and Zhen Zhenji went around in a big circle, and after arriving at the imperial city, Bei'anmen, which was the closest to the harem.

"Please Lord Zongxian is here for a while, this king will enter the palace to arrest the two thieves, and then please bring them back to the Criminal Department immediately, we will meet in the cabinet, we must not delay!"

Walking outside Bei'an Gate, Zhu Changluo stopped and said to Zhenji with a solemn face.

Zhen Zhenji nodded, although he was not familiar with the inner eunuchs in the palace, but Wang An beside Zhu Changluo was very familiar, after going out, Wang An quietly told the two of them that the inner attendant of the Iron Tile Hall was named Pang Bao, and he and Liu Cheng were the inner servants of Changchun Palace.

At that time, Zhen Zhenji was shocked, although he already had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't help but be angry when such ironclad evidence was placed in front of him.

At the same time, I also feel admiration for Zhu Changluo's bold behavior, you must know that he went directly into the palace to arrest people like this, and it was Zheng Guifei's person who arrested him, which was tantamount to a slap in the face of Zheng Guifei, and it was a rhythm to fight her to the end.

With the emperor's favor for the Zheng family, he will not give up!

At the same time, he also understood why Zhu Changluo was so anxious to arrest people, with the prestige of Concubine Zheng in the palace, it was easy to kill the two chamberlains, and only by controlling the prisoners with lightning speed could there be hope that the case would be thoroughly tried.

As for the emperor's punishment?

The imperial historians of the Ming Dynasty have not been unprincipled and flattering because they are afraid of the emperor's punishment!

What's more, Zhen Zhenji, as the imperial history of the left capital, is the top boss in the court, how can he be afraid of this matter, not to mention that at his level, he can let him

Immediately arched his hand.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old man knows the seriousness of this matter, and this time he has testimony in hand, that is, His Majesty personally came to ask for someone, and the old man will definitely let the legal department hear it before making a decision! I will never let His Highness enter the palace in vain this time! ”

"That's good, this king is going now, please wait a while!"

Zhu Changluo also bowed his hand in return and said.

After saying that, he turned around and took Wang An into Bei'anmen.

Changchun Palace.

These days, for some reason, there is a strange atmosphere in the entire Changchun Palace, although it can't be seen from the outside, but the palace maids who have served Concubine Zheng for a long time can feel that Niangniang has always been a little restless these days.

The sun was already slightly slanting, and Zheng was lying on the couch, listening to the reports of the people below, but he always felt a palpitation.

"Niangniang, this is the bird's nest soup that the slave maid just brought from the imperial dining room, sweet but not greasy, and the heat is just right!"

Xiaoqiu walked in from outside the warm pavilion with a smile with a delicate small bowl.

"Xiaoqiu, why is it that the more I get to the palace, the more uneasy I feel in my heart, just now that King Shou entered the palace, is it really for Princess Rongchang's marriage? Also, how is Zhang Cheng's arrangement? ”

Zheng frowned and asked with some irritation.

Xiaoqiu smiled, put down the soup in his hand, and said closely.

"Niangniang, don't think nonsense, you just asked the slave maid these words......"

"That King Shou should have come here for Princess Rongchang's marriage, and the slave maid also found out, the reason why Yang Yuanchun was selected as a concubine was because when Her Royal Highness the princess left the palace a few months ago, he happened to be rescued, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Shou, didn't you also listen to the report of the subordinates? His Royal Highness King Shou said that Yang Yuanchun's character was not good, but he was reprimanded by the queen's mother, and he went out of the palace without even having lunch! ”

"Besides, this palm print over there, he has been trying his best to arrange it, the salary department has a lot of firewood and grass in reserve this year, Zhang Zhang's palm print for the sake of insurance, has ordered someone to find a new batch of new ones, and it will be arranged before the appointed day, this soup is going to be cold, Niangniang, drink it quickly!"

What Xiaoqiu said, Zheng naturally knew it, but she was always panicking for no reason, as if something bad was about to happen.

However, after Xiaoqiu's reassurance, his heart has settled down a lot, and he picked up the small bowl on the table, and was about to drink, but he heard a noise at the door.

"Xiaoqiu, go and see, what's going on outside?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Qiu was blessed, and just took two steps outside, but suddenly a large group of strong chamberlains rushed in from the door, all of them with narrow sleeves and round necks that were easy to wear, and rushed in this arrogantly.

"Who are you waiting for? Dare to trespass on Changchun Palace, do you know what kind of place this is? ”

Xiao Qiuliu raised her eyebrows, took two steps forward and shouted coldly.

And one of the palace maids in the Warm Pavilion also immediately followed behind Xiao Qiu and protected the Zheng family in the middle.

"Offended!"

The waiter at the head looked indifferent, and after he finished speaking, two waiters rushed up and threw Xiaoqiu aside.

"If this palace is not mistaken, you are the people of the inner chamberlain, right? Who gave you the courage to trespass on the Changchun Palace of the main palace! Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame? ”

In such a scene, Zheng was much calmer, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"I haven't seen you for many days, and I never thought that the concubine was still so domineering! But that's not good, it's a lot of anger! ”

A gentle voice came, but it immediately made Zheng's face gloomy.

The young man was dressed in civilian clothes, surrounded by a group of attendants, and slowly approached with a cold smile.

"Zhu Changluo!"

Zheng almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and his eyes were full of hatred.

"I've seen the concubine!"

Zhu Changluo smiled and bowed respectfully, but under the eyes of this group of strong chamberlains, this salute was very strange.

"Okay, good, good, Your Majesty really raised a good prince, and dared to lead someone to trespass into the harem, do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes?"

Zheng laughed angrily and said coldly.

However, Zhu Changluo was not in a hurry, smiled playfully, and said.

"Guifei Niangniang, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so there is no need for this king to remind you......"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please let us go, slave beg, please, let us go......"

Before Zhu Changluo finished speaking, a woman suddenly rushed out from the side, hugged Zhu Changluo's leg and begged.

"Xiaoqiu, get out of the way!"

Seeing this scene, Zheng's face suddenly showed a trace of worry, and he said anxiously.

"I don't believe it, in this palace, he dares to do something to this palace!"

"Mother, say a soft word! Your Highness, I beg you, if you want to take revenge, take the life of the slave and maid, and let us go! ”

Xiaoqiu didn't let go, and said pleadingly.

After Zhu Changluo saw the person clearly, his face was suddenly gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Who am I, Li Qiuxian, you still dare to appear in front of this king! The concubine is really bold, and the person who has been trained is really good! ”

There was endless anger in his eyes.

"Since you are going to die, this king will fulfill you, come and pull this cheap maid out to this king, and kill him with a rod!"

After that, he kicked Xiaoqiu away with a fierce kick and hit the pillar on the side, his face was like gold paper, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then two attendants stepped forward with cold faces, dragging Xiaoqiu out.

"Stop! Zhu Changluo, you dare! ”

Zheng suddenly became anxious, his phoenix eyes widened, and he shouted.

Zhu Changluo turned around and said coldly.

"What? The concubine Niangniang thought that this cheap maid would not be recognized by the king if she changed her name? Today, the king is going to kill this who betrays the lord on the spot, left and right, and don't do it! ”

"Presumptuous! Xiaoqiu is forgiven by His Majesty Chrysostom, and she is the personal maid of this palace, what does it have to do with you? Zhu Changluo, if you dare to touch her today, the palace will be killed in this Changchun Palace, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will definitely avenge the palace! ”

Zheng's silver teeth clenched and said resolutely.
