Chapter 13 Revealing the Truth About Concubine Hui's Death in Depth

"Back to the queen's mother, everyone in Jingyang Palace has already checked one by one, it is said that that that day, Concubine Hui Niangniang even sent out the personal palace maid, and she did only see Concubine Ning Niangniang before falling from the building. Xiaguan asked people to carefully check Concubine Hui's diet and spices and fetal drugs, and there was nothing wrong with it, Concubine Ning was the most suspicious, but ......" Tan and Bai broke off for a moment before continuing to reply, "Concubine Ning Niangniang did not admit that she had anything to do with Concubine Hui's death, nor did she want to tell Xiaguan what she said to Concubine Hui that day, Xiaguan did not have the order of the queen and the emperor, and did not dare to investigate Concubine Ning. ”

The queen propped her forehead and sighed: "It won't be her, this palace married into the prince's mansion with the two of them back then, how can you not know the temperament of the two of them after getting along for many years?" You don't have to go to Concubine Chaning. It's okay to let this matter go, but the messy gossip inside and outside the palace is really a headache for the palace. ”

Tan Youbai smiled and said: "Queen Mother, there is no result in the matter, others must be curious, even if Niangniang orders not to talk nonsense, this is unstoppable." ”

Concubine Li laughed and said, "Lord Tan said this, do you have any ideas?" ”

Tan Youbai nodded: "Xia Guan thinks that it is better to directly write a list of the things found out and post them on the palace wall, and inform them directly of what we have found, so as to save them from guessing." ”

Concubine Li wondered, "How can this be?" Not to mention that the truth has not been found out yet, even if it is found out, I don't know what the reason behind this matter is, if it involves royal secrets, how can this tell everyone? ”

The queen thought for a while, suddenly laughed, and said: "It's a good move to strike first, this palace thinks it's feasible, and everything found out will be announced directly, so as to save them from thinking nonsense." If the final truth really involves royal secrets......" The queen rolled her eyes and said, "After all, it is us who announce the news, and it is naturally up to us to decide what to let them know." ”

"That's what Xia Guan means." Tan Youbai asked with a smile, "Then the lower official will go back and make arrangements?" ”

"Well, but you don't have to post the emperor list, that's too formal, and now the truth has not been ascertained, it is a little inappropriate to post the emperor list. The palace thinks it's good to write it in the newspaper and send it to the people in the inner palace. The queen looked at Tan and Bai, "You go to the Dibao Mansion tomorrow, discuss with Liu Yongxu, and ask him to send a sensible and talented person to investigate the case with you, and in the future, their Dibao will be delivered every five days, and a hundred copies will be printed each time, they will be more tired than before, and naturally Yulu will also rise, as for how much...... The main palace turned back and discussed with the household. ”

"Yes." Tan and Bai took orders and retreated.

When Zhang Lianfeng left the palace, she still felt that her head was heavy, and everything she had just experienced was like a dream...... Didn't she come over to talk back on behalf of An Ge? How did you turn yourself into An Xingjian? If this is revealed one day, will he be killed?

Moreover, everyone in the Di Bao Mansion knew that this article was written by An Ge, if the Empress summoned Liu Yongxu and mentioned it, what should she say? She can't let everyone in the Mansion lie with her, right?

She regretted her actions more and more, she really shouldn't have planted this hidden danger for herself in order to covet this money...... It wasn't until she touched the silver and jewelry in the blanket that she had some sense of reality, and Zhang Lianfeng breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, these silver were real.

Later, let's talk about it later.

When she returned to the mansion, it was already dark, and only An Ge was still there in the side hall, An Ge saw her and immediately stood up to greet her: "Lord Zhang, does the queen blame you and me?" ”

Zhang Lianfeng knew that she was worried and deliberately stayed, and when she met her panicked eyes, the last trace of uneasiness in Zhang Lianfeng's heart disappeared. Anyway, can't she deal with a teenage girl?

She chuckled and shook her head: "The queen mother praised you for writing a good book, you write a few more chapters next time, the ladies in the palace love to read it." By the way, the queen mother also gave you a reward. As she spoke, Zhang Lianfeng took out a silver ingot from her coat and stuffed it to An Ge.

An Ge's pair of Danfeng eyes suddenly opened round, and she happily took it, this ingot of silver is about twenty taels, but her current monthly income is only three taels of silver, and the queen's reward is worth her for more than half a year!

But she thought for a moment, but she still reluctantly stuffed the silver to Zhang Lianfeng: "Lord Zhang, I may ask you to take me into the palace to see the queen mother in the future, it is already very troublesome for you, I can't accept this reward, you should take it." ”

When Zhang Lianfeng heard this, the smile on her face couldn't be stopped, and she said: "It's okay, they are all colleagues, and it is appropriate to help each other, you can take this reward, you are a little girl who came to the capital alone, it is not easy, how can I still ask for your reward?" Zhang Lianfeng stretched out her finger to cut An Ge's hair, "My daughter is about the same age as you, and I think of her when I see you." ”

An Ge was moved, and what she said was indeed the truth, she really needed silver at the moment, so she didn't shirk it anymore, thinking that even if she would repay her in the future, she nodded and took it back.

"It's not too early, you should go back quickly." Zhang Lianfeng said with a kind smile.

An Ge answered, thanked her again and again, and then went home.

When An Ge and Liu Pingle came over together the next day, they happened to meet Liu Yongxu with a flattering smile and talking to a middle-aged man wearing an indigo robe embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, with upright facial features but dressed in oily hair and powder, Liu Yongxu caught a glimpse of the two of them, stretched out his hand and said, "An Ge, come here, Pingle, you go back to the side hall first." ”

Liu Pingle replied and left first.

An Ge didn't know why, and when he walked in front of the two of them, Liu Yongxu hurriedly introduced: "Lord Tan, this is An Ge that I just told you." ”

Tan and Bai looked An Ge up and down, nodded and said, "It looks clever, you go and pack up your things, and you can enter the palace with me later." ”

Even if An Ge didn't know him, he could see from Liu Yongsu's attitude towards him that his status was noble, and he was busy coping with a respectful smile on his face, Liu Yongxu ordered the steward to take Tan and Bai to the guest room to rest, and he found an opportunity to pull An Ge aside, and whispered: "In order to let everyone in the harem know the truth about Concubine Hui's case, the queen mother specially ordered our mansion to follow Tan and Bai, the governor of Dongchang, to investigate the case together, and if you find anything, you will write it in the mansion newspaper and send it to the palace the next day." Lord Tan has been sitting in this position for many years, and there are countless cases in the harem that have passed through his hands, when you follow Lord Tan, you must be cautious, talk less and listen more, whatever Lord Tan commands, you can just do it. ”

Worried that An Ge was afraid, Liu Yongsu comforted: "Niang Niang specially asked to choose a talented and clever person from among us, although I have few days with you, but I can see that you are different from the rest of the Di Bao Mansion, and this errand is most suitable for you to do." You don't have to be afraid, as long as you are smart, Lord Tan will not worry about you or anything. ”

An Ge naturally wouldn't be afraid, if she could follow Tan and Bai to contact more people in the harem in the name of investigating the case, it would be more convenient to find her mother's posthumous works, which she couldn't ask for.

As for the rest...... When the time comes, it's time to act. From the moment she stepped into the imperial city, nothing went according to plan, and she had to learn to deal with the unexpected.

"Yes, An Ge understood." She hurriedly responded.

An Ge entered the side hall and used his own blanket to fill some paper and a purple hao and a bamboo jar of ink, the ink is contained here, and when it is used, it must not be as good as the current research, but in order to be able to write records at any time, it is also convenient to use this, and you can copy it again when you come back.

"Ange, where are you going?" Liu Ping was happy to see that she had loaded these things, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm going to enter the palace, and I guess I won't be able to go back until the evening, and I'll talk to you about it when I get back." An Ge was afraid that Tan and Bai would wait too long, and then replied to Liu Pingle.

"Entering the palace again, why do Ange want to enter the palace at two ends in three days......" Liu Pingle looked at her departing back with some puzzlement.

Guo Caiping, who was on the side, heard her words and couldn't help laughing: "This shows that she is a celebrity in the hearts of the harem masters." Hey Pingle, you have such a good relationship with An Ge, she is now prosperous, why don't you take you with you? I heard that the two of you are still living together, and she didn't say anything more to you? Didn't teach you how to please? It seems that the relationship between the two of you is not very good. ”

"I see that the adult is very anxious, he didn't enter the side hall when he came, and talked directly to Lord Liu in the courtyard, An Ge also heard about it just now, how can he tell Pingle?" Yu Yuanyuan couldn't help but say something for An Ge.

Liu Pingle didn't take her provocation to heart, and replied to Guo Caiping with a smile: "An Ge will tell me what she did during the day every night when I go back, how good my relationship with her is, I know it in my heart, I don't need you to talk about it." ”

Guo Caiping saw that the provocation was unsuccessful, rolled her eyes, and stopped talking.

Zhang Lianfeng looked out the window, she came early recently, and she heard a lot of what Liu Yongxu and Tan Hebai said in the courtyard.

Tan and Bai want the best officials, how did the three words "the best" fall on An Ge? Let's not talk about this first, if An Ge enters the palace and sees the queen, what if he says that she is An Xingjian......

Zhang Lianfeng lowered her eyes slightly, and a cold light inadvertently flashed in her eyes.

"The eyebrows come, the eyes go, not just once; Love is harmonious, mouth is allowed, not a momentary ......"

In Jingjiang Palace, Yin Cheng was lying on a rattan chair with half-squinted eyes and listened to the new singer on the stage singing a vulgar folk song, but he didn't notice when Wanyun walked behind him with a plate of cherry cakes, and glanced at the singer on the stage coldly: "Stop singing, go down." ”

She is also a side concubine in the end, the singer didn't dare to say anything, and looked at Yin Yi again, seeing that he didn't say anything, so she had to look at him with disgust and then retreated with the pipa in her arms.

"Lord Wang! I've only been married for a few days, and you're both a singer and a dancer, even if you like the new and hate the old, it's not so fast, right? Wanyun put the things on the table, pushed Yin Yi and said, "Lord, since you married the concubine back, you haven't spoiled the concubine until now......

"Isn't that what you want is glory and riches? I have already given it to you, you can stay in the palace and be your side concubine! Yin Cheng's tone was a little impatient. His romantic name is known throughout the capital, and he has always been sleeping in the willows and not talking about feelings, this Wanyun is really annoying to entangle him, so he simply marries him back and puts it away.

"What I wanted was never glory and wealth! I'd rather not have this side concubine, even if it's just a girl in the room, as long as I can get the love of the prince, I will be satisfied............" Wanyun covered his face, full of grievances, "A few days ago, it was still the official of the palace, and today it is this singer, and I don't know what it is tomorrow."

"The ...... of the Dibao Mansion" Yin Cheng seemed to think of something, sat up abruptly and said, "Yes, this king almost forgot about this beauty, this king will go to her and marry her back." ”
