Chapter 14 Why is the Seventh Prince so prodigal?
"Yes, this king has forgotten this beauty, and this king will go to her."
Wanyun watched Yin Yi flick her sleeves and stand up and really wanted to leave, she didn't have time to cry, she stood up and wiped her eyes, and said, "Lord Wang!" The concubine has already investigated for you, and that little girl is beautiful, but she misbehaves, and she is not as good as me, a fireworks woman! Do you know that in order to get some well-paid errands, she actually betrayed her lust to curry favor with the director of the Di Bao Mansion! How can such a person marry into my palace? ”
Yin Yi's light-colored eyes glanced at her coldly: "Oh? Who are you listening to when you say this? ”
"One of her colleagues in the Di Bao Mansion ......"
Yin Cheng chuckled, "Colleague? Among the officials of the imperial court, there are not a few people who are not used to looking down on others, and there are not a few who spread rumors and slander behind their backs, she is both talented and beautiful, and her colleagues say that she is not behind her back, what is strange? Hearing you say this, this king is more interested in her. Yin Cheng touched his chin and praised, "Recalling that day when this king held her soft jade hand for a while, it is really haunting...... Haha, this king is going to meet her. ”
Seeing Yin Yi walk out without looking back, Wanyun stomped his foot heavily...... But what did she do? The main concubine of the palace is everyone's daughter, gentle and gentle, what do you follow three from four virtues, never dare to say half of it to Yin Cheng, the other side concubine is almost about to start eating fasting and chanting Buddha, she doesn't care about Yin Cheng at all, the other concubines in the mansion are not as high as her, and they definitely can't persuade Yin Cheng...... But what could she do?
I'm so angry!

In Zhong Cui Palace, An Ge followed behind Tan and Bai, raised his head and glanced at Concubine Ning sitting in front of him.
She still remembered the last time she saw her, she was arrogant and domineering, when she was radiant and had gorgeous makeup, and now, she was dressed in a vegetarian body, without wearing any pearls on her head, and without applying fat powder on her face, looking at Tan Youbai with a dull expression. But in just a few days, she was haggard and like this.
An Ge sighed inwardly, and she understood. Last time, when Xiaoyu's father-in-law took her to the palaces to distribute the palace newspapers, he told her about the current situation in Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Ning was still in the ground, no wonder she was like this.
"How could this palace kill Concubine Hui? This palace is married to the emperor with her, and she is like a sister......" she slowly spoke, explaining with a cold face.
An Ge sighed regretfully, last time she just bumped her, she was about to kill her with a cane, it can be seen that she is a fearless favorite concubine, she is used to being arrogant, and now she has to accept the interrogation of the eunuch, I am afraid that I can put on this cold face and reply well, and I have endured a lot.
But the palace maids of Jingyang Palace said that she had heard Concubine Ning and Concubine Hui arguing, and during Concubine Hui's pregnancy, all palace ladies often went to see Concubine Hui, only you did not care about Concubine Hui and rarely set foot in Jingyang Palace. This...... Isn't it like sisters? Tan and Bai obviously didn't buy her account, and directly interrupted her.
Concubine Ning furrowed her brows: "Could it be that those people who rush to see her every day have a good relationship with her?" The icing on the cake, who wouldn't? Although Bengong rarely goes to see her, he also thinks that she is pregnant and easy to get tired, and Bengong is for her sake. And Bengong often asks Su Yi'an about her situation, isn't this concerned about her? ”
"Niangniang asked Su Yi'an about Concubine Hui's situation, isn't it because the emperor and the queen's mother ordered you to be responsible for Concubine Hui's fetus?" Tan Youbai chuckled, but there was a layer of coldness in his eyes, "Moreover, who knows that Niangniang, you asked Su Yi'an about Concubine Hui's situation, didn't you want to find an opportunity to do something?" You married into the prince's mansion as a side concubine at the same time as Concubine Hui, so many years have passed, Concubine Hui is pregnant, but you have no movement, who knows if you don't hold a grudge against Concubine Hui? ”
"You! You eunuch ......" The word "slave" was still in her mouth, and the personal palace maid beside Concubine Ning immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Concubine Ning!" ”
Concubine Ning reacted suddenly, Dongchang is powerful, Tan and Bai are the chief judge of this case, it is no good to offend him, and I don't know how much dirty water will be splashed on her in the future.
Concubine Ning forcibly suppressed her anger, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said: "Lord Tan, this palace chanted for Concubine Hui all night last night, and she is a little tired, you might as well come and check it another day, this palace must know everything." ”
She glanced at the palace maid, and the palace maid understood, and immediately took a box and stuffed it into Tan Youbai's hands.
Tan and Bai smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then the lower official will retire first." ”
After that, Tan and Bai respectfully retreated, and An Ge didn't dare to say anything, so he also retreated. She didn't raise her head the whole time, and Concubine Ning didn't notice her presence at all.
When they arrived outside the Zhongcui Palace, Tan Youbai glanced back at An Ge and said, "You can go back to the mansion today, and later, I will send someone to pick up things from you." ”
An Ge knew that what he said was an article that he asked to write for the ladies of the palace, but it hadn't even arrived at noon now...... "Lord Tan, I think it's still early, why don't you check on others?" ”
The smile on Tan Hebai's face gradually disappeared, and he said in a cold tone: "Didn't Liu Yongsu explain what you should do?" ”
confessed, explained that she must listen to Tan and Bai's words.
An Ge was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "An Ge understands, so I'll go back to the mansion to write an article." ”
Tan Youbai looked at her obedient appearance, said "um", didn't say anything more, hugged the box in his hand, and Shi Shiran left.
An Ge looked at the direction he was leaving, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, just now he didn't think about it to ask such a thing, in fact, after a little thought, he knew that it had been several days since Concubine Hui fell from the building, and the investigation of these days was really not at all eyebrows?
It's just that Tan and Bai don't want to find out the truth so early.
Just like in Concubine Ning's place just now, Concubine Ning casually gave a box of benefits, although An Ge didn't see the specific number in it, and knew that there would be no less, the people next to him, up to the concubines, down to the palace maids, it is estimated that everyone is willing to exchange benefits for peace.
So, the longer the time drags on, the more benefits he gets.
And Tan and Bai didn't even bother to secretly put away these rewards, and just took them away with such a swagger, which shows how rampant it is.
Just thinking about it, An Ge felt someone behind him pull the blanket on his shoulder, An Ge turned around in surprise, and saw that it was Xiao Xuan's father-in-law, and immediately smiled: "Father-in-law Yu, are you also there?" ”
"I'm a person from Concubine Ning's palace, where can I go if I'm not here?" Yu Ganlin's expression was not much better than Concubine Ning's, she pulled An Ge aside and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come here with Lord Tan?" ”
"It was the queen who wanted us to publish Concubine Hui's case in the palace newspaper, so I came with Lord Tan." An Ge asked in a low voice, "Concubine Ning has been grounded so far, and neither the emperor nor the queen mother said anything?" ”
Yu Ganlin sighed: "What else can you say?" I think the emperor has long been tired of our Concubine Ning...... Actually, although Concubine Ning is arrogant and domineering on the surface, she is very good to the people in Zhongcui Palace, when Niangniang was arranged to be in charge of Concubine Hui's fetus, she was not very willing to see Concubine Hui Niangniang in order not to get into trouble, but she didn't expect to ...... in the end."
An Ge's eyes rolled: "I don't know much about the harem, but judging from my previous knowledge, shouldn't the person in charge of the harem be the queen's mother?" Why did she leave Concubine Hui's safety to Concubine Ning? ”
An Ge also read some military books, and knew that there was a trick called "borrowing a knife to kill", at present, from the appearance, she didn't believe that Concubine Ning would kill Concubine Hui so stupidly, even if she and Concubine Hui had a competitive relationship, she should also know that during the period when she was in charge, anything happened to Concubine Hui would be counted on her head.
So...... Could the person behind the scenes be the queen who arranged Concubine Hui to Concubine Ning? An Ge recalled that the queen had saved her life when the palace was elected that day, and immediately shook her head, she didn't want to doubt the queen, the queen was kind to her.
"Queen...... The queen also treats the palace people well, but she doesn't seem to be willing to take care of the affairs of the palace. Yu Ganlin explained, looked at An Ge again, and prayed, "Lord An, since you are now responsible for investigating the case with Lord Tan, please return Concubine Ning's innocence, and the lives of our Zhongcui Palace will be entrusted to Lord An......" He didn't know when he took out three pieces of silver and handed them to An Singer, "Lord An, Xia Guan didn't know Taishan at the beginning, and rashly accepted your silver, it is really a crime that deserves death, and Xia Guan will return the silver to Lord An." ”
An Ge came back to his senses and looked at the current silver a little overwhelmed...... Although she is indeed short of silver now, these silver are also the benefits she gave to Yu Ganlin in order to ask for some clues, but if she gets it back at this time, she will always feel that she is no different from that Tan and Bai, and she will become a corrupt official who accepts bribes......
Her father's teachings were still in her ears, and she would never have made herself such a social moth.
When he was hesitating how to refuse, a cry suddenly came from the gate of Zhong Cui Palace: "An Ge, Lord An, it turns out that you are here, this king has finally found you." ”
An Ge and Yu Ganlin both looked back suddenly, and saw Yin Cheng walking in with a smile on his face, standing in front of An Ge: "It turns out that you are here, this king just went to your mansion, and the people in the palace said that you entered the palace, so this king immediately came over," After that, he reached out and pinched An Ge's face, "You little thing, this king is easy to find." ”
An Ge's heart was full of disgust, if it weren't for Yin Cheng standing in front of her now, she really wanted to go back and get the soap corner to wash the place she had pinched just now. She took a step back and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "An Ge has seen the Seventh Prince, I don't know what the Seventh Prince's instructions are to find the lower officials?" ”
"I don't have any instructions, but I just want to ......" Yin Cheng looked at An Ge's eyes with naked desire, paused, and continued, "This king asked for a seat in Tianhuixuan, invited the most famous actor to sing, and wanted to invite you to go with him." ”
An Ge hurriedly refused: "Back to the Seventh Prince, the lower officials are still entangled in official business." ”
"Official business?" Yin Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Your supervisor is Liu Yongxu?" This king turned back to him and said, you don't have to work hard in the future, but your king asked him to give it to you as usual, okay? ”
An Ge twisted his brows, don't you work and just take money? Hehe, her father is thousands of miles away in Yangzhou City for the people's liver and brains, these Beijing Guan, these royal relatives, just rely on power to accumulate wealth, she really wants to pull Yin Cheng's head to the Emperor's Palace to confront the emperor, and ask him if he can enjoy endless glory and wealth without having to bear due responsibilities as long as he is reincarnated into the royal family!
