.

The concubine was dressed in a gorgeous dress, her head was hanging down, her demeanor was graceful and luxurious, she was followed by a maid, and the rest of the entourage were waiting outside the imperial study.

The concubine saluted Emperor Yongqing Yingying, and there was no weakness or other emotions on her face.

"The concubine greets Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongqing snorted: "I heard that you sent someone to the Inspectorate to invite Shen Sitang, and your people also killed many people in the Inspectorate, Guifei, what do you want to do?" "

The concubine looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, did the people sent by the concubines conflict with the people from the Inspectorate?" It stands to reason that it won't, the concubine just wants to invite Miss Shen into the palace for a while, and has no other intentions, how can something go wrong? "

Chen Yue'an looked at the concubine on the side: "The concubine just wants to invite Vice Envoy Shen into the palace to talk?" Why today? Why did you send two Xuan-level pinnacles to invite people? Didn't the concubine feel that the minister had no brains and couldn't understand the concubine's intentions? "

The concubine smiled and asked, "Zuo Yushi, what are the intentions of this palace?" Zuo Yushi should know that the prince is pleased with Miss Shen, and the palace is also quite satisfied with her, although she is involved with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, but the palace believes in her personality, and also believes that the six princes are measured, so he still wants to ask Miss Shen about her wishes, as for why he sent two Xuan-level peaks to invite her, the palace naturally wants to let Deputy Envoy Shen know how much the palace values her, and invite her into the palace to send two Xuan-level peaks to escort her, this is the palace's sincerity to her, is there any problem? "

When Chen Yue'an heard this, his brows furrowed, did the concubine want to beat him up?

Sure enough, the concubine continued: "It's Zuo Yushi, this palace wants to ask you, why were the people sent by this palace killed by you?" What is Zuo Yushi's intention? "

Chen Yue'an frowned and didn't speak, and Emperor Yongqing's eyes were not good: "Zuo Yushi, you and the concubine have their own opinions, is there a misunderstanding in this matter?" "

Everyone is already dead, and Emperor Yongqing doesn't want to be manipulated by Chen Yue'an, so he naturally wants to turn a big thing into a small matter, and he doesn't want to pursue it.

Chen Yue knew with peace of mind, but when he thought of those dead officials, he couldn't calm down.

"Your Majesty, if the concubine Niangniang just wants to invite Deputy Envoy Shen into the palace to speak, why did those two masters break into the Inspectorate, the minister had already explained the situation at that time, and asked them to wait for a while, but they killed the minister and the others in the Inspectorate, if it wasn't for the minister's promotion to Wuzong, I'm afraid the minister would also die in their hands."

Emperor Yongqing's eyes lit up: "You have been promoted to Martial Sect?" "

Chen Yue'an nodded in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister has indeed been promoted to Martial Sect." "

Emperor Yongqing's expression changed suddenly, and his eyes looked at the concubine with a little displeasure, and the concubine was obviously a little surprised, and her face changed slightly.

The concubine reacted very quickly, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think it is because the concubine is not strict in discipline that this kind of misunderstanding will occur, it is all the fault of the concubine, and the concubine will be punished." "

The Chen family is already strong, and now Chen Yue'an has been promoted to Wuzong, he has such a talent, Emperor Yongqing will definitely try his best to let him continue to work for the imperial court, after all, with Chen Yue'an, the Chen family is equivalent to a big help from the Yan Dynasty.

A proper show of weakness is necessary.

The concubine knows this.

Emperor Yongqing was obviously very satisfied with the concubine's approach, what he needed was such a virtuous help, knowing when to do what to do, and how to do it so as not to embarrass him.

"Guifei, you don't think about what you do, you killed so many people in the Inspectorate this time, you must give an explanation to the Inspectorate, from today onwards, you will be demoted to the position of a concubine, and think about the past behind closed doors."

The concubine lowered her eyebrows and responded: "The concubine admits punishment, thank you for your leniency." After she finished speaking, she said to Chen Yue'an: "Zuo Yushi, the palace will send a box of silver taels to the inspectorate, and ask Zuo Yushi to distribute it to the families of those dead officials, which is the palace's heart for them." "

Chen Yue'an knew that there would be no progress in this matter, and demoting the concubine to the concubine position was already a concession from Emperor Yongqing, if he was held accountable again, he would not know each other, and most likely Emperor Yongqing would scold him a few words, and then give up.

As for the concubine, it may not be long before she will make His Majesty's dragon heart happy because of what she has done, and she will resume her position as a concubine.

Chen Yue sneered in peace and said in a deep voice: "No need, the last thing the Chen family lacks is silver taels, they are ministers' ().. co

.

Subordinate, the minister will handle it properly, please forgive the mother, the minister really doesn't look down on the mother's three melons and two dates. "

The concubine was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she endured it again and again before she broke out, and bowed to Emperor Yongqing and retreated.

Chen Yue'an didn't stay in the palace for long, when he returned to the Inspectorate, Shen Sitang had just come out of the torture hall, and Zhuo Xicheng and them were all guarding the door of the torture hall, but fortunately, the concubine did not send anyone over.

This is unreasonable, the concubine knows the importance of Xu Wangda best, how can she not send someone to get rid of Xu Wangda?

Chen Yue'an was inexplicably uneasy.

Shen Sitang learned the truth from Xu Wangda's mouth.

Xu Wangda used to be the queen's person, because he was bullied by the queen with his own eyes, so he was heavily fined and demoted, and later the concubine Niangniang found him, promoted him, and let him climb step by step to the position of the head of the internal affairs office, and it is natural that he did a lot of unsightly things for the concubine Niangniang.

For example, murder, such as burying those corpses or smuggling them outside the palace for disposal.

As the head of the Internal Affairs Office, it is always convenient for him to do these things, and the concubine Niangniang also trusts him more and more, giving him some more important things, such as regularly delivering medicine to some people, including Qinglan.

There are also some people who also need medicine, but after Qinglan, the concubine was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she killed everyone else, and now she can't find it if she wants to.

Qinglan is a fine work of the Gu clan in southern Xinjiang on the surface, but she is actually doing things for the concubine, of course, this also means that the concubine has a connection with southern Xinjiang.

Xu Wangda's testimony is enough to bring down the noble concubine, after all, Emperor Yongqing will not tolerate the people around him joining forces with Southern Xinjiang, which is equivalent to shaking his country.

But the problem now is that Xu Wangda can only prove that these things were done by the noble concubine, and he doesn't know whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is involved or not.

And in the case of the four princes, Xu Wangda didn't know anything.

After listening to Shen Sitang's relay, Chen Yue'an frowned and said: "Since the third prince was designed by the concubine to kill, and she has a connection with southern Xinjiang, there is a good chance that the affairs of the fourth prince were also done by her, even if there is no evidence, Your Majesty can think of this." "

Shen Sitang shook his head: "Brother Chen, this matter is not so simple, first of all, the noble concubine Niangniang will definitely protect His Royal Highness the Prince, she will most likely take all the crimes, the prince must be completely unaware of her in her confession, and it is not certain whether the matter of the fourth prince can be involved in her." "

The most difficult problem in this matter is that Emperor Yongqing wants to let the monarch feast to death. co
