Chapter 133: There are clues in the leakage of exam questions
VIP chapter content,
Seeing this, the palace maid Chu Qing stepped forward quickly, looked at the broken armor in Concubine Lan's palm, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Niangniang, you are not worried, that King Ling has already provoked the discord between King Chen and King Dingnan, although they went to King Chen's mansion together today, do you know that King Chen wants King Dingnan to confront Princess Chen?" ”
"Hmph, it seems that in this palace, Brother Chenwang doesn't care whether King Nan likes his wife at all, and even if the county lord of Qinghe doesn't keep his wife, he won't be angry, Brother Chen's heart has long been fascinated by that woman." Concubine Lan said resentfully.
"Niangniang, the slave maid heard that the people of the Medicine King Valley are not only good at curing diseases, but also good at using poison, you say, could it be that King Chen was given some medicine by Princess Chen, so that King Chen is so fascinated by her, isn't it just that his face is more beautiful? Several sons of the Bai family are sworn enemies with her. "The first sunny day is full of sour taste.
"Poisoned? Do you mean to say that King Chen was poisoned by the Qinghe County Lord? Concubine Lan wondered. poisoned King Chen, is the county lord of Qinghe stupid? Poisoning her husband, if she is discovered, she will not have everything she has today.
"Yes, Niangniang, and the medicinal food workshop was originally the property of the former Princess Chen, this Princess Chen was able to take over smoothly, and the business was more impressive, the slave didn't believe that she could have so many ways, a teenage girl, where did those old-fashioned ideas come from, even if someone destroyed the reputation of her shop before, she could handle it so properly, do you think she will ......?"
"Could it be anything?"
"Could it be that he doesn't look like this at all, just to capture King Chen's heart, she deliberately disguised herself as Princess Qianchen, and these businesses are not good, and she used what medicine to lure the guests." Chu Qing looked around and made sure that there was no one around, so she whispered in Concubine Lan's ear.
Using drugs to confuse people's minds, she seems to have seen it from some book, but at first she thought it was all nonsense, but now it seems that it is not nonsense, thinking that Princess Chen must not know that she has discovered this, she must remind King Chen.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lan decided to ask Chu Qing to convey the news to King Chen, "Chu Qing, this palace will write a letter in a while, and you will hand over the letter to King Chen tomorrow when he goes down to the morning court." Hongu must not watch him be seduced by that woman. ”
Concubine Lan was carried away by her feelings, but she didn't know that King Chen had always regarded her as a sister, naturally, in such a situation, she didn't notice the sinister smile on the corner of Chu Qing's mouth when she told Chu Qing to convey the letter to King Chen.
Late at night, the masters of the various palaces had already rested, leaving only some eunuchs and palace maids who were keeping vigil, as well as the Praetorian Guards patrolling.
The emperor hugged Concubine Rou and slept on the soft collapse, in fact, he was also very puzzled why Concubine Rou would suddenly help Princess Chen speak, it stands to reason that not long after Concubine Rou entered the palace, it was the first time she met Princess Chen, and the rest of the time, the two had no contact, although Concubine Rou's actions were a little unexpected, but it came to his heart.
After all, King Chen is his younger brother, no matter what, he will not let the people of Beichen suffer from the misery, if he really marries him to the princess of Dongyu Kingdom, I am afraid he will not be able to sit on the throne.
But as emperors, they are suspicious by nature, so naturally they won't believe that Concubine Rou will help Princess Chen regardless of anything, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the palace so quickly.
"Concubine Rou, why do you want to help King Chen and Princess Chen?" The emperor suddenly asked, looking at Concubine Rou with a dead gaze, as if he wanted to see her through.
Hearing the emperor ask this, Concubine Rou was not surprised, because Chu Lixue had already reminded her that the emperor would ask again because of this matter, and sure enough, the emperor's thoughts were guessed by Chu Lixue.
"Your Majesty, in fact, a few days ago, the concubines invited Princess Chen into the palace to sit down, Your Majesty, you know, the concubines are from humble backgrounds, and the ladies in the palace look down on the concubines and are unwilling to interact with the concubines. Last time, when the Empress Dowager was on her birthday, the concubines saw Princess Chen and felt very cordial, so the concubines thought that after all, they were concubines and should get along well, not to mention, the border of Beichen Kingdom needed to be guarded by King Chen, and the concubines thought that if they could get along with Princess Chen, then the prince would be more attentive to the emperor. Did the concubine do something wrong? The concubines are willing to accept the punishment, but the emperor, the prince and the princess are the pillars of the Beichen Kingdom, and they must not give such pillars to other countries, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. After finishing speaking, Concubine Rou turned over and got out of bed, knelt beside the bed, and quietly wept, how could she not cause the emperor to feel distressed by her stubborn appearance at will.
"What is Concubine Ai doing, hurry up, I don't mean to blame you, just ask curiously, if you really think that Princess Chen is in love, then let the princess walk around the palace more, and you can relieve the boredom in your heart." The emperor doted.
Sure enough, everything was as Chu Lixue expected, and after Concubine Rou finished speaking according to Chu Lixue's teaching, the emperor had no intention of continuing to ask.
Things have developed to this point, Concubine Rou secretly said in her heart, it is indeed right to choose Princess Chen to help her ascend to the throne of the queen, calculating people's hearts, Princess Chen is really a master. It's just that such a person can only be eliminated after she helps her fulfill her wish, and the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks this is the truth.
In the prison, Jiang Guogong is still locked up, the emperor seems to have no intention of interrogation, and the cell boss doesn't know what Jiang Guogong's affairs are about, so he doesn't dare to humiliate, he cleans the cell on time every day, and combs Jiang Guogong's hair and bundles his hair.
Jiang Guogong has been in prison for a while, and it seems that the emperor is also skeptical about Jiang Guogong's matter, otherwise how could he just put Jiang Guogong in prison and not go to the court to ask.
On this day, Chu Lixue disguised herself as a little maid and followed King Chen and Shangguan Tianyu to the prison, and those cell bosses and the like received benefits, so they naturally took the chrysanthemum brew brought by King Chen to find a place to taste.
This chrysanthemum brew is the unique secret recipe of Princess Chen, and only the Yuelou family has it, although the wine is only two taels of silver a jar, but the wine is fragrant, after the entrance, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, it is a kind of wine that men and women in the city are very fond of.
"Jiang Guogong, how are you doing? Did those people embarrass you? Chu Lixue said softly.
"Thank you princess for your concern, they are respectful to me, this is all thanks to the prince and princess, the old minister has thanked me here." Jiang Guogong arched his hand.
"Grandpa Guo doesn't have to be polite, Concubine Ben and Jiang Tian are friends, and they should take care of you, we came this time because of the leak of the exam questions, and we have some clues, and I need to confirm it with you."
"Got a clue? Okay, you ask. Jiang Guogong said with a smile on his face.
"Your study is out of you and Jiang Tianwai, and only those who are cautious can enter the study, right?"
"The only people who can enter my study are Jiang Tian and Zhang Xin, and after I went back with the test questions that day, I hid the test questions in the secret compartment of the study, and then I rested, and the door was locked from the inside, no one should come in, even if I came in, I wouldn't be unaware."
"No, there is a situation where you won't notice, after you are stunned, even if someone enters your study, you won't know, the reason why we have dragged on for so long to come to see you is to let the other party relax their vigilance, there are envoys from Dongyu Kingdom in the near future, I think they should have no time to stare at us."
"What? How dare they stare at you? These people are also too rampant. Jiang Guogong said angrily.
"Rampant? These things are pediatric for them, I have asked Jiang Tian to check it carefully, there are shallow knife marks on the door bolt of your study, it should be that night, after you fell unconscious, the other party pried open your study with a knife, and went in to open the test paper. ”
"However, even if they entered my study and found the test questions, how could they seal the test questions when they opened them? There is a gold seal of the emperor on the seal of the test question, are they also copying this? Jiang Guogong wondered.
If this is the case, then the people behind the scenes can be said to cover the sky with one hand, and even the emperor's gold seal can be obtained, so what else can't be done?
"Naturally, it is possible, the night before the Empress Dowager's life, according to the rules, we juniors are going to light candles and kneel for a night, that night I knelt with Xiyue, and when I was on the third watch, I heard two eunuchs talking in the courtyard, and it seemed that they also passed on their bodies, but I was in order not to startle the snake, but I just followed from a distance, and I saw Gao Gonggong." King Chen said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Guogong's face was shocked, "Father-in-law Gao? He is not the ...... of the emperor's side" Immediately, Jiang Guogong stopped his words in time, he didn't dare to say any more, the eunuchs around the emperor actually wanted to harm him? He didn't remember offending this man.
Gonggong Gao and Li Fu were originally cautiously served by the emperor's side, but the chief eunuch beside Concubine Chun was released from the palace, and there was no suitable person to serve for a while, so Li Fu was temporarily transferred. Now there is only one Gonggong Gao who is waiting by the emperor's side, he can enter and leave the emperor's study at will, and he also knows where the emperor's golden seal is.
"There is also a little eunuch who is connected with Gao Gonggong, I don't know who the other party is, but I think he must be a key person, in short, once the matter is exposed, it will not be found on their heads, and you will become their scapegoat." King Chen.
"Lord Wang, but aren't the emperor's golden seals all worn close to him?" Jiang Guogong wondered.
"Maybe ......, maybe they were already ready to leak the topic when the emperor was formulating it, all the series of actions are just to push the matter on you."
"The title has already been leaked?" Jiang Guogong looked at Chu Lixue suspiciously, the intelligence of this princess Chen is what he admires, a woman's overall view is much stronger than that of some important ministers in the court, it is really a blessing for the society.
