At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the first autumn rain of the year finally fell in the sky after a long period of clearing.

Dean stood under the porch and looked at the rain curtain that covered the sky, and his heart became more and more uneasy. King Ning hurriedly held a scroll of things and went in for an hour, he didn't know what he said to the emperor, he hesitated whether he should go in and take a look.

After all, King Ning's face is only for the sake of building the king, and now that His Royal Highness has an accident with King Jian, the concubine is not working, and she sends things to herself every day, just hoping that he can find out the emperor's thoughts. It's just that now the emperor is obviously angry, and he doesn't dare to go in and disturb easily.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking from inside, and De'an's body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down and trotted in. As soon as I entered the Deshang Palace, I saw King Ning kneeling on the ground, and in front of him was a broken tea cup, which was enough to see how angry the emperor was.

De'an beckoned, and two frightened little eunuchs came in outside, and the little eunuchs tiptoed to pick up the fragments on the ground little by little. Then De'an took the tea that the palace maid on the side re-served and carefully placed it on the table.

At this moment of bowing his head, where Emperor Yuan He's eyes were out of reach, he quickly glanced at the messy file on the table, and his face suddenly changed, and then returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, take a sip of tea to lower the fire, and everything is based on the dragon body."

Emperor Yuanhe sneered: "My good son wishes I died soon, but now under my nose, he dares to be so bold, if I die, I am afraid he will rebel!" ”

De'an was suddenly silent, and he didn't dare to say a word, so he gave King Ning a look at him. After all, Emperor Yuanhe's body is not as good as day by day, and he is really angry and afraid that something will really happen.

Ji Yuren said in a deep voice: "Things have changed, and now it is unknown whether this file is true or false, maybe the third emperor brother was framed ......."

Emperor Yuan He once again knocked the newly replaced tea cup to the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Framed? If he is innocent, who can frame him! I'm afraid, he's already rebellious......"

De'an's heart jumped when he heard it, he followed Emperor Yuanhe when he was a child, he was the old man next to Emperor Yuanhe, and he knew Emperor Yuanhe very well. Since ancient times, emperors have been the most suspicious, and they can't bear the prince's rebellion, and Emperor Yuanhe is no exception. In the short sentence just now, Dean heard the killing intent.

He calmly called the two little eunuchs over again to clean up the ground, and this time he didn't dare to put the tea in his hand again and put it on the table. Then he beckoned and took out the other palace people who were waiting.

As soon as he came out of the Deshang Palace, De'an breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and hurriedly said to his apprentice Fusheng: "You look inside, if the emperor asks someone to go in first, I really can't stand it." You can be alert and clever, pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, the emperor is angry at this moment, if something really happens, the master will not be able to protect you. ”

After that, there was no figure in a hurry, Fu Shengsheng's honest appearance, now he looked even more stupid, and looked at the direction of De'an's departure in a daze for a while, before muttering to himself: "It seems that the master is really in a hurry, and the thatched house is not over there." ”

De'an ran to Zichen Palace in one breath, pushed open the door and stopped him The palace maid rushed in, and finally saw Lan Guifei, and knelt directly at her feet as soon as her legs were weak, so anxious that her voice changed tone.

"Niangniang, the big thing is not good, King Ning just took the evidence to face the saint, the emperor had a big temper, and said that His Royal Highness King Jian had an anti-......"

As soon as he said this, Lan Guifei slapped the table and got up and said, "Nonsense! ”

De'an said with a bitter face: "My concubine Niangniang, alas, this is not what the old slave said, it is the emperor's golden mouth." If you don't think about a way, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Jianwang won't be able to keep it! ”

Concubine Lan also panicked, and Aunt Guizhi on the side asked, "What kind of evidence is it?" Obviously, yesterday the emperor was relieved and said that he was going to come to Zichen Palace for dinner tonight, why did he suddenly convict His Royal Highness King Jian? ”

De'an shook his head and said: "The old slave peeked at it and knew that it was a file, which was full of accounts from the household department many years ago, and the old slave didn't know the secret, but those files were personally approved by His Royal Highness King Jianwang in the end." ”

Concubine Lan's body shook and she almost fainted. She gritted her teeth and said: "It seems that the accounts of the year have been turned out, this thing that is not enough to succeed and more than to fail!" At the beginning, he let him burn the file and then let the little officials who passed his hands take the blame, and this little thing was not done well, and it left people with a handle. ”

She shook her hand angrily, and the pastries and fruits on the table fell to the ground. De'an stepped back, got up and hurriedly said, "King Ning is still in Shangde Hall and hasn't come out, and the old slave can't come out for too long, so I'm going back in a hurry." Niangniang has to hurry up and find a way, if she waits for the emperor to make a holy decree, it will be too late. ”

De'an left in a hurry, and the other palace maids who were originally waiting were waved out by Aunt Guizhi when De'an came in, and only the master and servant were left in the house at this moment.

Aunt Guizhi saw that Concubine Lan closed her eyes and was silent for a long time, and she was also anxious in her heart, and said, "Niangniang, what should we do?" ”

Lan Guifei finally opened her eyes, and there was no extra emotion in her eyes, only a cold and tired state deep in her eyes.

"The mud can't support the wall, what can I do now? After all, I don't have a prominent mother's family, so I won't be jealous of the emperor, and the emperor won't do anything to me when he thinks about it. As for him, I don't want to care anymore......"

Aunt Guizhi sighed: "Niangniang, don't talk angry. ”

Concubine Lan was stunned, and suddenly said softly: "You said that if I didn't insist at the beginning...... Even if it's a princess, she's a caring daughter......"

Aunt Guizhi stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, looked left and right vigilantly, and then frowned and said, "Niangniang, you shouldn't mention this matter again, let alone regret it." It can only rot in the stomach for the rest of its life until it is brought into the coffin. ”

Lan Guifei smiled sadly, closed her eyes fiercely, and a tear ran down the corner of her eye and fell into the wind.

"You're right, I shouldn't have mentioned it...... It's just that lately I've been dreaming about her all the time, dreaming about her...... Forget it, forget it, it's over, what's the use of talking about it. ”

There was a moment of silence, and when she opened her eyes again, there was no other superfluous emotion.

"What kind of calculation is the emperor in his heart, this palace is very clear in his heart, even if he suspects that Si Hong has a rebellious heart, he will not be easily defeated, otherwise who can compete with the crown prince in the full court? Compared with Si Hong, although the prince is the prince he cultivated, he is also his confidant.

Zhang Xianli, Mrs. Tan, and now this dossier are all too strange. Now that the emperor is dizzy, we have to make him calm and calm, just calm down and think about it, it is not difficult to see the prince's handwriting behind him. As long as the emperor is even more jealous of the crown prince, Si Hong can be saved. ”

Aunt Guizhi asked, "What do you mean?" ”

A cold killing intent flashed in Concubine Lan's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "The physical evidence is now in front of the emperor's eyes, but the physical evidence can't speak, and whether you believe it or not is all in the emperor's thoughts." As long as there is no witness, the emperor will definitely be suspicious. ”

Aunt Guizhi frowned and said, "But we don't have anyone who can be used in Dali Temple, otherwise we wouldn't have dragged it to this situation." ”

Concubine Lan looked at her delicate and red nails, and sneered: "King Ning wants to stay out of the matter, how can this palace let him get his way, he still has the handle in this palace." ”

As Lan Guifei said, even if he was angry at the time and had the urge to kill this evil son, but after the impulse, he calmed down again.

The situation between the DPRK and China is often affected by one trigger and the whole body.

At the beginning, Emperor Yuanhe ascended the throne at a young age and had an unstable foundation, so he had to set up the daughter of the Tong family to stabilize the situation, but the Tong family was powerful, and he was in-law with the Lan family, and Yu Taifu was a student of the Lan family, and the relationship was intertwined.

Prime Minister Zuo was single-handedly supported by him after he ascended the throne, but he had a shallow foundation in the court, and even if he was in an important position, his identity was embarrassing. Neither has the prestige of Old Master Lan, nor is it as good as Taifu's left and right, the only thing that satisfies him is that he is still peaceful.

In addition to comparison, his henchman is only Qi Changping, who has a heavy army, but in these turmoil in the court, the military power is useless. And now that the prince and the Qi family are married, although Yuan He and the emperor are reluctant, they are afraid that the Qi family will marry with other families and have different intentions, which will be more troublesome.

It's just that in this way, the prince has too many hole cards, and if King Jian falls again, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not move his mind.

After thinking about it again and again, Emperor Yuanhe said in a deep voice: "You go back and prepare first, and I will go to Dali Temple tomorrow to interrogate Zhang Xianli and Mrs. Tan." ”

King Ning's eyelids moved, and he replied respectfully: "Erchen understands. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all paying attention to the movements of King Ning and Dali Temple, and the Prince's Mansion is naturally the fastest news. The evidence is that Ji Chengyu sent it to Dali Temple without leaving a trace, and he naturally knows best why Ji Yuren entered the palace in a hurry.

Ji Lingyun rushed over when he got the news, and saw that Ji Chengyu was still calm, so he immediately said: "When King Ning entered the palace, was the imperial brother who sent the evidence over?" ”

Seeing Ji Chengyu nodding, Ji Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and took a sip of the new tea he was serving, before he spoke: "What does the imperial brother think my father will do with the matter now?" ”

Ji Chengyu's pen did not stop, and he said in a deep voice after the approval of a book: "Small punishment and big commandment, crime will not lead to death." ”

Ji Lingyun sneered, and said nonchalantly: "It seems that the imperial brother is the same as I thought, unless the imperial brother ascends the throne, the life of His Royal Highness King Jian can be long." ”

Ji Chengyu frowned and glanced at her, his voice slightly deep.

"Lingyun, be cautious."

Ji Lingyun was noncommittal, and then remembered another thing.

"Although King Jianwang was the mastermind of the events back then, he was far away in the capital, and he was always able to hide things so well in places beyond his reach. If it weren't for the riots caused by natural disasters, I don't know how long this matter would have continued. With such a method, the power of King Jianwang alone is far from enough, and I am afraid that there are still local accomplices. ”

Ji Chengyu glanced at him appreciatively, "Huaiyu, Shao'an and other places belong to Nanyang, and Liao Guangtian, the governor of Nanyang, is not easy to mess with." King Jian imposed taxes on his territory, but he did not move...... "Yes."
