East Palace.

"What? The three princes want to rebel? Jiang Qianbai was very surprised, and the tea in the teacup in his hand also spilled out because of surprise: "Isn't he still grounded in the Three Kings' Mansion, where is the time and opportunity to deploy rebellion?" ”

Shan Wu, who delivered the news, said: "This is the news that Jade came back from Mingyue Tower, it is said that Yan'er said it, it is not clear whether it is true for the time being, let us help investigate." ”

Jiang Qiancheng drank tea with a calm expression, about this matter, he was really not surprised, looking at the formation of the three princes in front of the imperial study that day, he dared to threaten the emperor's henchmen and eunuchs with a knife, and led a group of officials to make trouble in front of the imperial study, what else could he not do?

Jiang Qianbai was a little worried, rebellion is a capital crime, not to mention that the evidence is not evidence, as long as the emperor really believes in this matter, the third prince is estimated to have no way to live.

"Jiang Qiancheng, do you think the third prince will really rebel?"

"Why not?" Jiang Qiancheng said: "He doesn't look like a timid person. ”

"But rebellion is a capital offense, and he ......"

"He has nothing now, and if he wins this gamble, everything he wants will be in his hands, and he has enough reasons to gamble."

“……”

Jiang Qianbai took a sip of tea, Jiang Qiancheng's words, he really couldn't refute it, although there was no evidence at all now.

After stopping the topic, the hall was very quiet, Jiang Qianbai held the teacup, looking at his face reflected in the tea with a thoughtful look, Shan Wuan stood quietly on the side and waited for Jiang Qiancheng's instructions, and Jiang Qiancheng raised his head after drinking a cup of tea with an indifferent expression.

He said: "Send the word back to Mingyue Tower and let Yan'er provide evidence, otherwise her words will not be counted, and it is impossible to let her go." ”

"Yes."

After Shan Wu left, the hall was quiet again, but this time the quiet time was a little short, Jiang Qianbai seemed to suddenly think of something, and put the teacup in his hand on the table.

Jiang Qiancheng didn't look up, but asked, "What did you think of?" ”

"It suddenly occurred to me that there was someone in the palace who might be able to help us, and he must know what Concubine Shu had been doing all this time!"

"Who?"

"The eunuch in charge of the concubine's dormitory."

"Why do you think that eunuch would tell us what he knows?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to torture a confession?" Jiang Qianbai said with a smile: "As far as I know, he is a greedy person who is afraid of death, as long as we find an excuse to take him away, we can definitely ask him what we want to know." ”

Jiang Qiancheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay, then this matter will be handled by you, I will wait for your good news in the East Palace." ”

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The Royal Palace, the Queen's Bedchamber.

After Jiang Qianbai came here and said a few words to the queen mother, the queen mother's people put the eunuch in charge of the concubine in the palace in front of them, as for the reason, it was to steal in the harem, and the queen mother personally interrogated.

The eunuch knelt before them, trembling, and did not even dare to raise his head to look at them, but as soon as he came in he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The queen said: "People have brought you here, how do you interrogate, that's your business, this palace doesn't care about this." ”

"Got it, thank you very much this time."

"Let Wan'er accompany this palace more often, it will be your thanks."

“……”

The queen mother quickly left the room, giving Jiang Qianbai enough space to interrogate the eunuch.

The eunuch who was kneeling on the ground heard the footsteps of someone leaving the room, and the room suddenly fell silent, thinking that no one was there, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he raised his head, he saw Jiang Qianbai looking at him with a smile, and his cold sweat suddenly broke out.

"Five princes, slave ......"

"Shh Jiang Qianbai made a silent gesture: "This king doesn't seem to let you speak, if you open your mouth casually, this king will pull out your tongue and feed it to the dog." ”

The eunuch immediately closed his mouth, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

Jiang Qianbai smiled and said: "This king has some questions for you, you just have to answer honestly, if you dare to lie to this king...... You should know what this king is doing, right? ”

The eunuch nodded vigorously.

"Very good," Jiang Qianbai smiled: "First question, what has Concubine Shu been doing recently, and is there anything strange about her behavior?" ”

The eunuch lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head sharply and said: "Concubine Niangniang has been in close contact with her mother's family recently, and almost every day she will go to the queen mother's bedroom to talk to her old man, and she went out of the palace to see the third prince, and she looked a little angry when she came back. ”

Jiang Qianbai touched his chin and thought about it carefully, these things were similar to what that Yan'er said.

"The second question, when the three princes came to the palace to see the lady concubine, what were they talking about?"

"This ......"

The cold sweat on the eunuch's head kept rising, this question was a proposition for him, an honest answer was death, and an honest answer was death!

Jiang Qianbai squinted his eyes, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table: "Why don't you speak?" Is it the king's question that is difficult to answer? Or do you don't want your tongue anymore? ”

"No!" The eunuch hurriedly waved his hand: "The slave is just thinking about how to answer!" ”

"If you think of something, you can answer it, you don't have to think about anything else."

"But those things...... The slave is afraid to say it, and the lady will never let the slave go. ”

"Then what you just said, after the lady lady knows about it, will she let you go?"

“……”

In the end, the eunuch still answered Jiang Qianbai's question truthfully, just like the news sent back by Jade, the third prince and the concubine Niangniang were indeed plotting to rebel, and neither of them was satisfied with what they got now, they wanted a higher status and greater power.

Jiang Qianbai walked out of the room and said to the queen mother waiting in the courtyard: "Find a way to get rid of Concubine Shuniang, if she wants to rebel, the first person to deal with is you." ”

"Got it," the queen mother smiled: "This palace has been sitting in the position of the queen for decades, what means are useless?" Don't worry about going about your business, and don't forget to let Wan'er come and see the main palace when she is free. ”

Jiang Qianbai nodded: "I know, I will bring the words to Wan'er." ”

After Jiang Qianbai left, the queen mother turned around and looked at the eunuch who was still kneeling in the room, and said to the palace maid beside her: "Lock him up, don't let him die, and then we need him to testify for us." ”

"Yes!"
