The imperial concubine Long Yue'er is the wife of Wen Jingyuan who made a marriage contract before he ascended the throne, because Wen Jingyuan has deliberately avoided for many years and has not married into the door, when the fiancé Jun became the emperor of Dayuan, the daughter of the well-informed and decisive imperial historian failed to become a wife, and only succumbed to the position of the imperial concubine.

In fact, Long Yue'er didn't want to pursue the identity of the queen at all, she knew very well that her husband didn't love her, and the reason why she was canonized as the imperial concubine was just an act of almost performing her duties, without the support of the emperor, what was the significance of the queen's identity? That would only be an opportunity to incur trouble, no less than Huaiyu's sin.

Despite this, this restrained and low-key imperial concubine still did not escape the catastrophe.

The imperial concubine was accused of wanting to murder Concubine Yun with the technique of witchcraft and disgust, although the magic weapon was found from the Huangyi Palace, but it was not enough as evidence for conviction, and the case had to be handed over to the Criminal Department and the Imperial History Observatory for detailed investigation, and the person who presided over the investigation must have the ability and status, naturally it is none other than the fourth prince Wen Mozheng.

When Wen Mozheng saw the imperial concubine, she was already in the cold palace, and yesterday's wealth and luxury were gone, only bleak and lonely.

"Did Your Highness come by yourself?" Although the imperial concubine was in the cold palace, she gently brushed the broken hair that was not tied up by hairpins, and looked at Wen Mozheng indifferently.

"There are many important cases involved, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to hear about them." Wen Mozheng still saluted respectfully according to the rules, and then sat down in the lower chair, "In addition to the matter of the witch Gu, Niangniang was also pointed out to maliciously hurt Concubine Yun, and it was seen by my father and the emperor himself, is this true?" ”

The imperial concubine smiled numbly: "Not only did the emperor see it with his own eyes, but many of the guards, eunuchs and palace maids who broke into the room together also saw it, at that time, the dagger in the palace, Concubine Yun fell to the ground unarmed, what else would it be if I didn't want to harm her?" ”

The imperial concubine's tone was too calm, as if this statement had been said thousands of times, chewed and bitten, and there was no taste at all.

Wen Mozheng's chest was dull, and he sighed lightly with a gloomy face: "These are all rumors outside, I don't want to hear it, I want to hear my mother tell me what happened." I'm not routinely writing a guilty letter for Niangniang, whether Niangniang is guilty or Concubine Yun has other plans, I want to make it clear, if I can give Niangniang justice, it would be the best. ”

The numb expression finally relaxed, and the imperial concubine's eyes slowly gave birth to a little luster, but with a little sadness: "Your Royal Highness is the brightest person in the harem, who is who, why do you need to say it over and over again in this palace?" ”

"Even if I believe it, if the mother doesn't say it, who will know?" Wen Mozheng put down the pen and ink used to record, and his blazing eyes were extremely firm, "As long as Niangniang tells the truth, Mo Zheng will do his best to make the facts public to the world, and will never allow traitors to be in charge and demon concubines to run rampant, destroying my hundreds of years of foundation in the Great Abyss!" ”

Wen Mozheng is young, and his uprightness in nature is seven points better than ordinary people, and he has handled a lot of extensive and far-reaching answers over the years. Seeing that he had a clear voice and a resolute expression, the compromise and cowardice that he had deliberately made were finally able to be relieved, she got up slowly, and actually made a big gift to Wen Mozheng as the imperial concubine.

"The palace has overlooked the villain's calculations, and the matter of collecting evidence of collusion between Concubine Yun and the traitor Lian Song was forced to be interrupted. Now the sisters who helped the palace to clear the harem are in danger and are too busy to take care of themselves, and the palace does not ask His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to be able to rescue him, I only hope that His Royal Highness can save those sisters in the palace for the sake of my great abyss, don't let our hard work go to waste, let the adulterous concubine and the minister ruin the emperor! ”

Wen Mozheng gritted his teeth tightly and nodded, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

The imperial concubine was grounded in the cold palace, the news was blocked, and many things were not understood, and at this time, the sisters who had plotted with her before how to expose Concubine Yun's true face had already set the ending - those concubines who were not deeply involved were all grass on the wall, and when they saw that the signs were wrong, they turned to Concubine Yun one after another; There are also some concubines who are more involved in the deep choice to remain silent in order to protect themselves, and continue to live their lives after receiving some trivial punishments; The remaining twelve concubines and nobles were severely punished for insisting on the accusations against Concubine Yun and Lian Song, one was given white silk to hang himself, one committed suicide by hitting the wall in the heavenly prison who could not bear the torture, and the others were all expelled from the palace and reduced to commoners.

In fact, Wen Mozheng had long known about the matter discussed privately between the imperial concubine and the concubines, and even provided some help, but he didn't expect Concubine Yun to preemptively exclude dissidents, and today's harem can be said to be completely Concubine Yun's world.

This turmoil caused a lot of damage to the harem, which had not many concubines, and became more and more cold and panicked; The previous dynasty was also in an uproar, and for a time the books that participated in the performance were stacked like a mountain, and many upright courtiers were also implicated, Wen Mozheng tried his best to exonerate King Dingyuan in the court, and turned his head to ask the imperial concubine, what he wanted was the truth, and he wanted to find clues to prove to Wen Jingyuan, Concubine Yun and Lian Song were colluding with each other and acting in embarrassment.

As for the chances of finding evidence, it is slim to none.

After leaving the cold palace, Wen Mozheng sent the record back to the Longxin Palace, left the palace from the path, and returned to the White Tiger Gate on the west side of the palace in a big circle, sitting alone in the carriage and waiting anxiously.

About half an hour passed, the side door of the White Tiger Gate opened, and more than a dozen women walked out with their burdens bowed their heads, all with red eyes and sobbing, which were the ten concubines and nobles who were demoted to commoners and expelled from the palace. Wen Mozheng heard the sound of the curtain tent of the car, called the little eunuch who was driving the car and whispered a few words, the little eunuch nodded and walked to the women who were already clothed people, one of them gave out a bulging purse, and called one of them to the carriage.

"Noble Jin." Wen Mozheng took a deep breath and pushed the car door open, reaching out to support the woman who was called.

"The Four Princes?" Jin Guiren was stunned, and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him incredulously, "Why are you?" I ......"

Wen Mozheng looked around, shook his head and turned sideways: "There are many people here, let's get in the car first." ”

A large number of concubines were demoted out of the palace and attracted the people to watch, and the Jin nobles saw that someone was looking here, so they hurriedly boarded the carriage and sat in the corner, tightly hugging the empty burden. Wen Mozheng closed the car door, hesitated for a moment and sat opposite the Jin Guiren, sighing silently revealing deep concern: "The Jin Guiren has suffered in the past few days, I have already arranged a place to live outside the palace, if the Jin Guiren does not dislike it, it doesn't matter how long he wants to live." ”

was involved in the turmoil due to the struggle for power in the harem, and was implicated and expelled from the palace by the common people, and a series of encounters had long made the Jin nobles tired and depressed; After learning that her relatives at home were ashamed of her, and even cut off her kindness and refused to accept her back home, Jin Guiren was even more heartbroken, and after the heartbreak, she was left at a loss, and she didn't expect that when she left the palace, someone would take the initiative to approach her and arrange for her.

Raising his head in a difficult position, the Jin nobleman frowned and was puzzled: "Your Highness has been entrusted by whom?" Help me like this, and the emperor will know that he will be blamed, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be implicated. ”

"You don't care what happens to me, the most important thing at the moment is to relax and cheer up, even if you can't go back to your mother's house, there is always a place for you in this imperial capital." Hurriedly pulled out a large number of title deeds and silver tickets from his sleeves, Wen Moshu stuffed them all into the arms of Jin Guiren, looking a little nervous, "This is the title deed of the mansion in Yongan Lane, Tongqing West Street, and there are two thousand taels of silver tickets, I have already asked people to send the furniture and supplies needed, and I have hired a few people." If there is anything else missing, you can tell me that you can send someone to buy it yourself, and if the silver is not enough, I will have someone give it to you. ”

Wen Mozheng's earnest and considerate made Jin Guiren stunned for a while, and he looked at the tissue paper in his hand blankly, puzzled: "This ...... How can I ......"

Realizing that he was too active, Wen Mozheng's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head slightly by coughing, and his urn voice was like a child: "I am very happy that you have been demoted out of the palace...... You don't have anywhere to go anyway, so I—I'm just going to take you...... Wouldn't it be nice if you weren't a nobleman? That way I can ...... Can ......"

The slurring and intermittent murmuring finally made Jin Guiren Min feel something, turned his head to avoid Wen Mozheng, and even began to blush his cheeks: "Your Highness is too nonsense, in case someone knows about it......"

"What if others know?" Hearing what the noble man said, Wen Mozheng became anxious and almost jumped up from the chair, "You are not a noble person anymore, what do you care?" If you have no relatives, you always have to find someone to take care of you, right? I just want to take care of you, I just don't want to see you suffer, and others can say whatever they want! ”

Jin Guiren smiled helplessly, waved his hand again and again, and said in a difficult tone: "Your Highness didn't understand what I meant, I mean...... After all, I am the emperor's man, and now I am only worthy of being driven and enslaved by others-"

"I don't care! I don't care what happened to you! What's wrong with even if you're the emperor's woman? I don't care! Now that you have left the palace, you will have nothing to do with the emperor in the future, why can't I like you and marry you? ”

The woman who was favored by the emperor and expelled from the palace wants to find another home, but Wen Mozheng's identity is different from ordinary people, he is the prince, and he is a person who is highly guarded by Wen Jingyuan.

Jin Guiren's heart was surprised and moved, but the remaining reason made her soberly realize that she might become Wen Mozheng's murderous star.

"I have received His Highness's wishes, but this matter is far from being as simple as His Highness imagined, I don't want to harm others and myself." Jin Guiren took a deep breath and said lightly with the pain in his heart.

Seeing that the Jin nobles were stubborn, Wen Mozheng was slightly disappointed, listless and languishing for a moment, and suddenly boldly grabbed the hand of the Jin nobles: "Let's not talk about these first." You go to the house with me to stay temporarily, I have many questions I want to ask you about the case of the imperial concubine, even if you want to leave, I will not agree until you have other good arrangements. ”

But except in his heart, there is absolutely no other place in this world that can be recognized. Thinking carefully with the cunning of a child, Wen Mozheng simply sat down next to the Jin nobles, with a deliberately pretended familiarity and fearlessness on his green face.

"During that time, I often went to the Leadhua Palace, and every time I saw you, I would think how nice it would be if I were to marry someone like you. But at that time, you were still a nobleman, and I could only daydream, I didn't want God to see me pitiful, and suddenly let this dream come true. ”

The more relaxed Wen Mozheng's tone was, the heavier Jin Guiren's heart became, and Yu Guang secretly looked at his side face, with his exclusive clean light.

In the dark palace, he seems to be the only one who is pure and immaculate.

"A person like Your Highness is not suitable for power struggle, and there is always more to lose than to gain."

Slightly surprised by Jin Guiren's suddenly calm tone, Wen Mozheng couldn't figure out whether this sentence was praise or emotion, he lowered his head and chewed for a moment, and a peaceful and firm smile appeared on his young face.

"I'm not afraid, the second brother can disobey the holy will for Miss Yan, if it is for the person I like, I can also do what the second brother can do. No matter what happens or what it costs, I will protect the most important things—the land of the Great Abyss and the good people that I love...... And you. ”
