Chapter Forty-Eight: The Great Change in Xian'an Palace

"Whoever dares to collide with Her Royal Highness the Concubine again, rectify the law on the spot."

Zhang Yan, who was holding two guns, shouted majestically.

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Queen, who has always been mild-mannered, to have such a murderous side.

However, Concubine Zhao was an exception, because she did not feel a trace of murderous aura from Zhang Yan, and it was estimated that she was bluffing.

It is true, because the two muskets in Zhang Yan's hands don't even have bullets, and they can only bluff people.

But who would bet that there were no bullets in this gun?

Therefore, Chen was paralyzed by fright on the spot, and Liu knelt down obediently.

After all, a hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, he was really killed, even if Mrs. Fengsheng can take revenge, then he can't see it.

After Zhang Yan controlled the situation with two guns, she immediately looked at Concubine Zhao, who understood and hurriedly ordered: "Arrest everyone in Xian'an Palace and interrogate them one by one." ”

Dozens of eunuchs quickly rushed in, restrained the kneeling people one by one, and searched the other rooms carefully to make sure that no one else was hiding.

When everyone was escorted to him, a eunuch stepped forward and asked loudly, "Hu Xiuying, Chen Baozhu...... Where are Liu Sanmei and Zhou Xiaowan? ”

The eunuch read out eight names in a row, and then glanced at all the palace maids who were controlled, but none of them answered.

Concubine Zhao said in a deep voice: "Those who don't report the information will be punished as the same party of the Hakka clan and beaten to death directly." ”

"Someone, prepare for execution."

Several eunuchs with thick sticks rushed in viciously.

At this moment, a timid voice said: "Your Royal Highness Concubine Qizhao, the slave knows two of them. ”

"Tell me, who is it? There are many rewards for mourning the family. ”

Hearing this, another palace maid said eagerly: "Your Royal Highness Concubine Qiyu, the slave and maid also know." ”

"Her Royal Highness Concubine Qizhao, the slave also knows." The other palace maids also gossiped.

Concubine Zhao waved her hand to the eunuch who escorted the first palace maid to speak, and said, "Let her go first." ”

The palace maid was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and when Chen and Liu saw her, their faces suddenly changed, it was the palace maid who had been humiliated by them before.

Sure enough, the palace maid turned her head, stared straight at the two of them, and then raised her hand to Chen and said, "She is Chen Baozhu." ”

Then, he pointed at Liu and said, "She is Liu Sanmei." ”

Concubine Zhao swept her gaze to the other palace maids and asked, "Do you have any different opinions?" ”

"Her Royal Highness Concubine Qizhao, it's the two of them." Other palace maids also quickly pointed out, and now the Chen family and the Liu family couldn't deny it.

"Take it away." Concubine Zhao sighed, and several eunuchs took out ropes and directly tied up the two.

Chen kept struggling, looked at the palace maid, and shouted with a hideous expression: "You cheap maid, you can't die well, when the lady comes back, you will be peeled and cramped." ”

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead, palm my mouth."

A eunuch went up and slapped a few loud slaps in a row, whipping Chen's eyes so bright that he was full of tears, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Concubine Zhao glanced at the other palace maids and eunuchs again, and said with relief: "Don't worry, not only will the Hakka family not come back, but these two bold and arrogant maids will not come back either." If you know what kind of crimes the Hakka have committed together, you will be rewarded for mourning. Otherwise, those who conceal it and fail to report it will be severely punished. ”

After that, he and Zhang Yan and his entourage withdrew from Xian'an Palace, and took most of the people away, but left Princess Xin and more than 20 eunuchs and palace maids behind.

Princess Xin was not idle, she entered the Xian'an Palace again, began to interrogate those people in the Xian'an Palace, and conducted a comprehensive search of the Xian'an Palace.

After leaving the Xian'an Palace, Concubine Zhao and Zhang Yan and her entourage continued to the north, turned east after passing the Yinghua Palace, and then passed through the five western offices of the Qianqing Palace and then went out of the Forbidden City through the Shunzhen Gate and the Xuanwu Gate.

After going around in this circle, he turned to the south again.

In fact, they could have gone directly south after leaving the Xian'an Palace, and it was much closer to the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City.

However, in order to prevent the action from alarming the officials of the outer court too early, he chose to deliberately detour.

However, the entire imperial city has the eyes and ears of Kebaba and Wei Zhongxian, and there are so many of them, it is impossible for them to be unaware.

Therefore, not long after they surrounded Xian'an Palace, someone rushed to the celebrant to report the news.

However, Wei Zhongxian was worried about Kebaba's safety, and he was not in the palace at all, and at this time, it was Wang Tiqian, the eunuch who was in charge of the celebrant and the eunuch who held the seal.

Hearing this news, Wang Tiqian couldn't believe his ears.

"What? Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Empress led people to surround Xian'an Palace? ”

How is this possible? It's a ridiculous joke.

Without the order of Banzai, who would dare to besiege the Xian'an Palace? If there is an order from Long Live Live, it will not be the turn of Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Empress to do it.

Besides, Concubine Zhao never asked about the world, and she didn't dare to provoke Mrs. Fengsheng easily, how could she personally take someone to Xian'an Palace to make trouble.

But Wang Tiqian also believed that his subordinates would definitely not dare to joke with him about this kind of thing, so no matter what, he had to go and see it first.

So, he hurried to Xian'an Palace, but he was still a step too late.

By the time he arrived at Xian'an Palace, Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Empress had already left, but Princess Xin was there.

Seeing Princess Xin, he knew that this was probably true, because without the orders of Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Empress, it was not Princess Xin's turn to give orders in the harem.

However, Wang Tiqian is not Wei Zhongxian after all, nor is he a guest, and he doesn't dare to question directly before he understands the matter.

Therefore, he was still very polite to Princess Xin, and asked with a chuckle: "Why did Princess Xin bring people to Xian'an Palace, and she also controlled so many people, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate." ”

Although Princess Xin is not very old, she has the support of Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Queen behind her, and she has nothing to fear, so she replied without humility or arrogance: "It turned out to be the princess, I am guarding here on the orders of Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Queen, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Tiqian pretended to be surprised, and then asked, "Then I don't know why Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Empress came to Xian'an Palace to get people?" ”

Princess Xin shook her head and said, "I'm just acting on orders, if the prince wants to know, just ask Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Empress." ”

Seeing that Princess Xin didn't want to say more, Wang Tiqian didn't ask too much, let alone forcibly rescue the people in Xian'an Palace, because he instantly linked this matter with the disappearance of Madame Fengsheng.

Madame Fengsheng only disappeared yesterday, and this morning Concubine Zhao and Her Royal Highness the Empress came to make trouble in Xian'an Palace, and it is impossible for things to be so coincidental.

With Concubine Zhao's prudence, if she didn't have something in her hand that could deal with Mrs. Fengsheng, how could she dare to make such a big show and leave no way back for herself.

After thinking about it, he immediately said goodbye to Princess Xin and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.

He wants to find out if Banzai knows about it or not, and then make plans.
