Chapter 182: There is a traitor in Fuyuan Palace
When Yin Hong asked this sentence, he carefully looked at Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin's expression, Chen Zhuoxin raised his eyes slightly, looked at Yin Hong scrutinically, quite playful, and then took his gaze back, and after taking a sip of tea carelessly, he sneered.
Yin Hong was a little confused about Chen Zhuoxin's thoughts.
Could it be that Grandpa Guo thinks that he is not very clever in asking this question?
Or, is it really as he guessed, it is the grandfather of the countryโโ?
I only heard Chen Zhuoxin gently put the tea cup on the table, sighed slowly, and said,
"Are you curious or are you guessing?"
Yin Hong hurriedly lowered his head and stood up,
"The subordinates don't dare! The subordinates are indeed a little curious, because Chen Meiren was not particularly favored in the palace before, and her family background was not prominent, and the five princes were among the many princes. It's not that outstanding. But now inside and outside the palace, for such a small concubine who has been dead for many years, there is such a big movement, and the subordinates really don't understand. The subordinates want to ...... the subordinates want to "
Yin Hong didn't dare to say any more. Once that thought comes to you, you can't hold it back!
Chen Shuxin raised his hand to interrupt him,
"Do you think that if I did it, then you should go and dispose of the five princes to prevent future troubles, right?"
Yin Hong kept his mouth shut and expressed his thoughts with silence that Chen Guogong guessed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhuoxin suddenly laughed twice and said,
"You've been with me for years, and you still don't know much about me! You still suspect that Chen Meiren was the one I sent. โ
There was undisguised disappointment in his words, and he was a little more proud than his subordinates.
Chen Zhuoxin slightly lost the ground,
"I'll be honest with you, I didn't have the opportunity to meet the concubines of the harem before I became the prince, and after I became the prince, I didn't see Chen Meiren. However, after Chen Meiren's death, perhaps because the five princes gradually grew up, they more or less learned some about Chen Meiren. really pays attention to Chen Meiren, it is entirely because of Concubine Jiao Xian, she is very stubborn to raise the five princes under her knees. We had a common goal, and I had to help her achieve it. โ
Yin Hong breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in his heart. Although he and Chen Zhuoxin were not stained with blood on their hands, the pressure was still different when they killed the palace concubine and the prince.
Chen Zhuoxin continued,
"Who killed Chen Meiren has little to do with us. If the development of events requires that we killed Chen Meiren, then it was we who killed! If the conclusion that Concubine Jiao Xian killed Chen Meiren is in our favor, then it was Concubine Jiao Xian who killed her. We just need to help the flames, and as for what the truth is, what does it matter? โ
Yin Hong saw that Chen Zhuoxin was in a good mood, so he hurriedly complimented,
"It's still the wisdom of Grandpa Guo that he didn't let the Fifth Prince and the eldest prince meet as soon as possible!"
A hint of pride appeared at the corner of Chen Zhuoxin's lips,
"The prince of Liguo is stationed at the border all the year round, and not many people see him. The five princes grew up in the palace, and not too many people have seen them. He resembles the Son of the World, and few people have noticed. Because no one can even think of it! However, if the two of them appear in front of everyone together, it will inevitably make people reverie. โ
If the five princes can also enter the game to compete for the position of the prince, then the battle for the prince will be more intense.
As it intensifies, isn't the Holy One still having the strength to solve this mystery?
In the middle of summer, as Chen Meiren's case progressed little by little, many signs seemed to point to Concubine Jiao Xian, causing Concubine Jiao Xian's reputation in the palace to get worse and worse.
Concubine Jiao Xian also felt that there seemed to be some bad momentum in the entire palace, no longer like in previous years, she was favored and smooth.
There were some subtle changes that made Concubine Jiao Xian feel a little panicked and a little uneasy.
The most surprising thing for Concubine Jiao Xian was that the fourth prince, who had always been gentle and elegant, and who had done his best as brothers, friends, and brothers, was actually ordered to beat Gonggong Hong under his command in the palace!
If it is said that the second prince, or even the third prince, makes people beat Father-in-law Hong, Concubine Jiao Xian is not surprised.
The second prince spends all day drinking, doing nonsense, although there is no big accident, but small troubles are always constant, Bao Qi is not in a good mood one day, Hong Gonggong stepped on his tail, and it is not surprising that the second prince is angry.
As for the three princes, although they have no mothers since they were children, like the five princes, the three princes are sensitive and thoughtful, sentimental, and have a face of anger between people and gods.
It's just that this fourth prince, who has always been as light as a breeze, made people beat Father-in-law Hong, Concubine Jiao Xian felt that it must not be simple, if there was no instruction from Concubine Han De, she would eat the entire Fuyuan Palace!
Although Father-in-law Hong has always been a dog and has been flying in the palace.
But Gonggong Hong will not know the proportion, at least he will not dare to be disrespectful to the prince, he will not dare to be arrogant in front of the prince, at least he will not take the initiative to provoke the four princes, so where does the anger of the four princes come from?
Is it because he is not satisfied with the princess he has chosen for him?
Concubine Jiao Xian could only come to this conclusion.
In order to show her status and limelight, and to buy people's hearts, Concubine Jiao Xian took out her share of silver and asked the Internal Affairs Office to purchase a lot of loose ice cubes and send them to the palaces.
Not only for the queen mother, the queen and high-ranking concubines, but also for some low-level concubines.
The Empress Dowager and others themselves did not lack the supply of these ice cubes, but some low-level concubines and some small palace maids and eunuchs were extremely happy.
On a summer day like this, being able to drink a bowl of chilled sugar water is like a delicacy. For a while, it also reversed Concubine Jiao Xian's bad comments.
Regardless of sincerity or falsehood, the voices praising Concubine Jiao Xian gradually increased.
But no one thought that in the Fuyuan Palace under Concubine Jiao Xian's own jurisdiction, except for a few henchmen she trusted, such as Liang Gonggong and Hong Gonggong.
Everyone else is suffering.
In front of the kneeling rows of palace people, there was a charcoal brazier! Everyone was scorched and sweated!
There was a pool of sweat on my knees!
Behind him, there are two large basins of ice!
A few powerful eunuchs are fanning the ice with big fans!
A hint of cool air is coming from the back!
Ice before boiling!
Fire and ice!
One of the evidences that Concubine Jiao Xian was suspected of murdering Chen Meiren was that she found a night pearl of Chen Meiren in the residence of Father-in-law Hong!
That night pearl is after Chen Meiren gave birth to the fifth prince, for some reason, her vision at night is very blurry, and it doesn't work to light a few more candles!
The Queen Mother specially rewarded this night pearl to Chen Meiren!
It's also magical, with the Night Pearl, it seems that the light is not very strong, but Chen Meiren is so clear-eyed!
But after Chen Meiren's death, the workers reported that the night pearl at Chen Meiren's bedside was missing!
Father-in-law Hong cried bitterly and swore to Concubine Jiao Xian that he didn't know anything about this night pearl!
Even if Gonggong Hong accepted bribes, he should remember who gave him such a valuable gift.
Unless, the person who gave him deliberately did not mention that this was the "Night Pearl", and Grandpa Hong only thought it was an ordinary pearl!
Besides, he was secretly put into Grandpa Hong's bedroom. And Grandpa Hong didn't notice it yet.
Concubine Jiao Xian was very annoyed, someone framed Father-in-law Hong, isn't the purpose of that is, to pour dirty water on herself!
There is a traitor in Fuyuan Palace, and Concubine Jiao Xian can't tolerate it!
