Chapter 88: Whistleblowing
The next day, Wanyue and Guerjia Yinan went to Yikun Palace to ask for peace, as soon as she entered Yikun Palace, she saw Concubine Yi's smiling face, she smiled and walked over to salute Concubine Yi, and called softly: "Daughter-in-law to Eniang please Peace!" β
Concubine Yi heard the voices of Wanyue and Guerjia Yinan, and her smile became a little brighter, "Let's get up quickly." β
Wanyue heard Concubine Yi's voice and got up to stand aside, while Guerjia Yinan also got up, and the two stood beside Concubine Yi on the left and right.
When Concubine Yi saw that they were all standing, she said, "You all sit down!" β
"Yes, Eniang!" The two replied in unison.
Wanyue and Guerjia Yinan glanced at each other, and sat down on the chair with each mind.
Concubine Yi looked at the two of them and looked at Wanyue with a smile, "I heard that you gave birth to a very cute little Gege, and I will bring it into the palace in a few days for E-Niang to see." β
When Wanyue heard this, she hurriedly smiled and agreed, "Yes, Eniang." β
Guarjia Yinan also echoed and said, "Yes, Eniang, Sifeng is very likable." β
When these words came out, Wanyue couldn't help but doubt Guerjia Yinan's intentions, but she could only pretend to be nothing.
The palace maids of Yikun Palace quickly prepared milk tea again, and Wanyue saw milk tea, and her mood immediately brightened up.
After drinking the milk tea, Concubine Yi said kindly: "It's a good weather today, let's go for a walk in the imperial garden, what do you think?" β
Wanyue and Guerjia Yinan both nodded yes, and the group left Yikun Palace for the Imperial Garden.
The Imperial Garden, full of spring flowers and green trees, is lined with all kinds of flowers on both sides of a bluestone paved road, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The few people didn't go far before they heard footsteps behind them, and they turned their heads to see that it was the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine and others.
The imperial concubine was dressed in a light yellow flag suit, with a graceful figure, dignified manners, and a gentle smile.
The Queen Mother was dressed in lake blue clothes and combed in a delicate bun, looking very young.
When everyone saw the queen mother coming, they saluted the queen mother, and the queen mother hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy, no courtesy, get up." β
After everyone got up, the Queen Mother walked to Wanyue, took her hand, and looked at Wanyue carefully, "I heard Yinqi say that you gave birth to a little Gege, you are very well-behaved, and you will bring it in next time when you enter the palace for the Queen Mother to see." β
A warm current suddenly surged in Wanyue's heart, and she naturally felt the Queen Mother's concern for her, and she responded with a smile: "Yes, Grandmother the Queen Mother." β
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the Queen Mother treating Wanyue so closely, after all, Wanyue is now the side Fujin of Wubeile, and it stands to reason that the Queen Mother should be partial to Wubeile's concubine Fujin.
But now it seems that this is not the case, the queen mother is closer to Wanyue.
Although everyone had a guess in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it on the surface, so they could only smile and compliment.
When Guarjia Yinan saw this scene, she couldn't help but be resentful, she obviously gave birth to the sister-in-law of Lord Belle, and she didn't see her mother and the queen mother's grandmother praising her like this, and now seeing the queen mother pampering Wanyue like this, the anger in her heart burned even more, but she still had a gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.
The Empress Dowager pulled Wanyue and spoke for a while before letting go of her and instructing: "Stay in the palace for dinner today, the mourning family has ordered the kitchen to be prepared." You all go to Ningshou Palace together, and the mourning family is also lively. β
Wanyue and Guerjia Yinan naturally didn't dare to refuse, and nodded their heads in agreement.
Everyone came to Ningshou Palace, the queen mother had already ordered someone to prepare wine and food, the emperor and the prince had also arrived, and after everyone was polite, the emperor and the prince also sat down.
The crown prince looked at Wanyue and Guerjia Yinan, and couldn't help but think about it, and asked lightly: "Why didn't the fifth brother enter the palace today, but the fifth brother's concubine Fujin and side Fujin came?" β
"Back to the crown prince, Lord Belle has business to do, so he didn't wait for the concubine to enter the palace." Guarjia Yinan hurriedly replied.
The prince's words were obviously intentional, Wanyue glanced at him, and when Guerjia Yinan finished replying, she also replied: "Yes, today we specially entered the palace to greet the concubine." β
The crown prince was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the two Fujin of the fifth brother to defend him so much, so he didn't continue to pursue it.
After a meal, they ate very harmoniously, but Wanyue was a little wary of the prince, for fear that he would take this opportunity to find fault, but fortunately, the prince did not do anything out of bounds.
After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, the prince got up to say goodbye, and Wanyue and Guerjia Yinan also hurriedly retired.
On the way back, the two didn't talk much, Guerjia Yinan's face was gloomy all the time, and Wanyue didn't want to provoke her.
The two went back to the house one after the other, Wanyue went straight to the Xinuan Pavilion where she lived, went to see Xiao Sifeng first, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, Wanyue went back to the back room and asked Yudan to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He also found out the news sent by the king of the tea garden of the Sun Moon Minglou a few days ago, and wrote down the corrupt officials he collected on the paper one by one, most of which were protΓ©gΓ©s of the prince, and some of them were old ministers who served in the army back then.
Although most of these people were appreciated and re-promoted by the prince because of their merits, these people are loyal to the prince and can be regarded as the prince's right-hand man.
Wanyue took out a pen dipped in some black water and wrote a few words on the paper: The people on this list are corrupt and pervert the law, abuse power for personal gain, and disregard people's lives, and are not worthy of being officials.
Wanyue thought about it, the letter she wrote was also a whistleblower, and she didn't know what the fourth brother would do when she received this letter, so she wrote another sentence on it: "These corrupt officials and corrupt officials are extremely evil, and people and gods are angry, and I hope Lord Belle will deal with it impartially." β
After writing it, she folded the list and put it in an envelope, called Mama Wang in, and instructed: "Mama, you find a little girl with eyes, preferably someone from outside, and send this letter to Sibeile Mansion." β
Mama Wang took the letter and looked at Wanyue, her expression was a little serious, Miss is the side of the five Baylors, but she wrote to the four Baylors, if this spreads, I am afraid.
Wanyue saw Mama Wang's worries, and said firmly: "Mama doesn't have to worry, I know what you're worried about, I have my own measure." β
Seeing this, Mama Wang didn't want to say anything more, so she took the order.
In the evening, Mama Wang came back and said that she had successfully sent the letter to the Four Baylor Mansion, and the Four Baylor had also received it.
Sibeile Mansion, as soon as Yinzhen got off the horse, he saw a young man arguing with the guards at the door, Yinzhen frowned and asked, "What's so noisy?" β
When the little guy heard Yinzhen's words, he immediately ran forward and knelt down, "Presumably this master is Sibeile, the slave was entrusted by someone to hand over this letter to Sibeile." β
Before Yinzhen could speak, the little guy took out a letter from his arms and respectfully presented it with both hands, Yinzhen took the letter and glanced at it, found that there was no signature on it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who asked you to deliver the letter?" β
The little guy hesitated for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Back to Sibele, it was a masked woman in gray clothes and a hat that was sent by a servant. β
When Yin Zhen heard this, he couldn't help frowning suspiciously, waved his hand at the little guy, signaling that he could leave, and then walked straight into the study in the front yard, and then opened the letter.
Seeing the content of the letter, Yinzhen's eyes instantly turned cold, this is a report letter! Most of the reported officials were related to the crown prince, which made Yinzhen a little unbelievable, he sat on the chair, his eyes were cold, he didn't expect that someone would write a report letter of official corruption and send it to his house!
