Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Yan knew that Concubine Shen was really kind to Zhu Cijiong, so she sent Zhu Cijiong to Concubine Shen as soon as she got a cold.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is a master who cares for others. Don't worry that Your Highness is with Concubine Shen."

Xia He deftly peeled off the warmed snowflake paper and pasted it on again.

Qiu Ju brought the prepared soup, and Dong Mei brought a bowl of sour plum soup.

The two came to the pavilion and approached Zhang Yan:

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."

Zhang Yan picked up the medicine bowl, tested the temperature, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

She frowned tightly, this medicine is really bitter...

Dongmei hurriedly handed the sour plum soup to Zhang Yan's mouth:

"Your Majesty, take a sip of the sour plum soup to get rid of the bitter taste."

Zhang Yan rinsed her mouth with sour plum juice, and then she felt that the bitter taste in her mouth was lighter.

Xia He's green-white fingers had already peeled a few dried longans and brought them to Zhang Yan's mouth...

……

In the harem, the one Zhu Youjian trusted the most was Zhang Yan.

Therefore, after the Handu Palace was built, Zhang Yan was asked to take charge of the affairs of the harem.

According to convention, this title should be given to the Queen Mother.

However, Guangzong's queen is no longer there, and even the imperial concubine has died one after another.

This position fell to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan had a cold, so the errands in the palace were left to Queen Zhou.

Although she did not need to take action, many matters still required Empress Zhou's nod.

Coincidentally, next month is Concubine Feng Jing's birthday.

Even though she was just a former imperial concubine, she still had to buy something to celebrate.

Queen Zhou stretched out her hand and beat her waist.

Having just finished processing the purchase list, Queen Zhou was also a little tired.

She muttered:

"I don't usually see my sister so tired. Why is she so exhausted when she comes to my place?"

At this moment, Qin Zhien came in a hurry holding a wooden stick.

"My maid, please see the Queen!"

Qin Zhien's face was serious.

Empress Zhou looked at the wooden stick in Qin Zhien's hand. It was an arm-thick and half a foot long. After the two ends were broken, it formed a sharp stick.

"This is?"

Queen Zhou said in surprise:

"What are you doing with a stick?"

Qin Zhien said angrily with a cold face:

"So that the queen will know that this is what Xiao Jin'er found in the sand when he was loosening the sand under the tree.

The boys discovered that this thing was buried in the sand, with only a thin layer of sand covering the surface.

The servant did not dare to neglect, so he sent it to the queen to make a decision. "

Queen Zhou winked.

The female officer stepped forward, took the stick, and handed it to Queen Zhou.

"Is this a pine stick?"

Queen Zhou hesitated.

Qin Zhien shook his head:

"My dear, these are the branches of a cypress tree."

"Cypress?"

Queen Zhou was stunned.

Cypress, willow, mulberry and locust trees are the four ghost trees.

Historically, it could only be planted on graves.

These four types of trees have long been cleared away from the palace. Why are there cypress branches in the palace?

The next moment, Queen Zhou's expression changed drastically.

Could it be...

Is this a witchcraft chaos?

Could someone want to use witchcraft to harm the emperor...or the prince?

By the way, it must be the prince!

Queen Zhou's expression changed greatly.

Youdao is that a woman is soft by nature, but a mother is strong.

His Majesty asked the prince to observe the government, which means it is obvious.

Although Queen Zhou's vision was not good, she was not ambiguous on such important matters.

She immediately said with a cold face:

"Xiao Qinzi, let Wang Lian go check it out!"

"Tell Wang Lian to investigate quietly!

Check out those cheap hooves in the palace first! "

"I would like to see who dares to use such dirty tricks in the palace."

Empress Zhou gave the order, and the eunuchs in the inner court immediately became busy.

Soon, the news reached Zhang Yan’s Nuanyang Palace.

Zhang Yan rubbed her nose vigorously and asked Qin Zhien to be called to Nuanyang Palace.

After asking about the cause and effect, Zhang Yan instantly realized that Queen Zhou had misjudged.

Because this piece of wood was found under the jujube tree at the entrance of Chengtian Hall.

The three main halls are the emperor's office and the concubines in the harem are inaccessible to ordinary people.

In other words, this matter should have little to do with the harem.

Zhang Yan thought for a while and asked someone to bring a ladder and set it up on the courtyard wall.

Zhang Yan dropped her cloak and started to climb up the ladder.

The four maids were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically.

"Mother, what do you want to do? Let your slave go up for you?"

Xia He held on to Zhang Yan tightly and refused to let go.

"Hold it up!"

Zhang Yan sniffed, scolded, threw Xia He away, and climbed up the ladder.

Qin Zhien was frightened to death and could not care too much. He immediately rushed forward and held the ladder together with the four maids.

Zhang Yan held onto the wall and looked around.

I saw that the walls of the three main halls were slightly higher than the walls of her Nuanyang Palace.

In addition to the three main halls around it, the Meridian Gate has the highest building.

The wild persimmon tree is on the right side of Chengtian Palace Square, and you should be able to see it clearly from the Meridian Gate wall.

Zhang Yan knew it well.

She climbed down the ladder and said to Qin Zhien:

"You go to the Meridian Gate to convey the decree and my decree. Let the soldiers at the top of the city retreat to the two sides for the time being. I want to go to the Meridian Gate Gate Tower."

Qin Zhien's expression changed drastically.

The Meridian Gate is even within the scope of the outer court...

According to the rules, one cannot leave the harem without the emperor's will!

However, seeing the solemn look on Queen Zhang's face, he gritted his teeth and said nothing. After saying yes, he bent down and retreated.

After Qin Zhien left, Dongmei anxiously advised:

"Your Majesty, you can't go to the Meridian Gate. What do you want to see? Tell your servant, and I will go there for you."

The four maids of spring, summer, autumn and winter beside Zhang Yan were all brought from her mother's family.

They are Zhang Yan's true friends.

Once the news of Zhang Yan leaving the palace is known to the outside world, it will be a source of leverage!

With the urinary nature of the literati group, by then, the queen will definitely be slandered as an adulteress...

Although His Majesty may not believe them...

However, human words are terrible!

Zhang Yan said with a cold face:

"I tell you, they want to kill Jiong'er!

Those people came for King Ding!

Only King Ding likes to climb trees, and the layout of that wooden thorn is meant to kill Jiong'er! "

"I have nothing left. Your Majesty will adopt Prince Ding to me. Jiong'er will be everything to me!"

"I want to tell them - I am not afraid of anything!

Whoever dares to harm Jiong'er will step over my body! "

Zhang Yan gritted her teeth with a frosty look on her face:

"Chuntao, take my golden seal and golden book!"

"Xia He, take my phoenix crown and Xia Pei!"

"Qiu Ju, bring me Queen Luanyi!"

"Dongmei, write for me, Your Majesty, I am leaving the palace!"

In order to find out the reason, Zhang Yan worked hard.

Zhang Yan knew that as long as she expressed her desire to leave the palace, the emperor would definitely allow it.

However, in order to silence outsiders, she specially asked Dongmei to fill in an application memorial.
