Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

The next morning, Emperor Yinde had just left the morning court and angrily entered the gate of Changxin Palace. When he reached the door, he raised his hand to stop him and refused to let anyone follow him.

In the palace, Concubine De was having breakfast with Wen Jing. Seeing Emperor Yin De come in, both mother and daughter were overjoyed. However, Concubine De saw Emperor Yin De's face as dark as ink and quickly asked the palace officials to retreat with Wen Jing.

"My concubine is here to see Your Majesty. I wonder if His Majesty is here. What do you want to do?"

Emperor Yin De went straight to the soft couch and sat down, and handed the confession in his hand to Concubine De.

Concubine De still didn't know what happened, so she opened the confession directly.

The little eunuch who secretly burned paper money in the Imperial Garden yesterday was none other than Xiao Fazi, the little eunuch of Changxin Palace. His paper money was burned to the palace maid who committed suicide when Chengxuan was born. The two of them had a close relationship. .

Concubine De was like a thunderbolt from the blue, "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter. I don't know anything."

"Your Majesty, you can't blame this concubine for the death of Sheng Ping just because Xiao Fazi and the little palace maid were rivals. What reason does the concubine have to harm your majesty's child?"

Emperor Yin De suppressed his anger and said, "I don't attribute all this to you, but you can't escape the relationship with all this."

"I'm asking you, why is there still an affair in the palace? And it happened in your Changxin Palace. Don't you know what happened back then? Is this how you help me to manage the Sixth Palace?" Emperor Yinde He said to Concubine De with a slap in the face.

Since the reign of Emperor Wen Zhao, Wan Jin has strictly prohibited the maids and eunuchs from eating each other. Not only did Concubine De know this, she also experienced it herself.

That was the 20th year of Wen Zhao's reign, and it was also the second year after the then-Crown Prince Shen Yuchen and Crown Princess Shangguan Xiaoyue got married.

That day Shen Yuchen and Gu Wenkang were discussing matters in the East Palace. Shangguan Xiaoyue made some snacks and invited Gu Wenkang's sister Gu Yunchu to the East Palace to taste them.

At that time, Gu Yunchu had not yet married Shen Yuchen as his concubine. At that time, she was just Gu Yunchu.

After the discussion, Shen Yuchen left Gu Wenkang and Gu Yunchu to have lunch. Just as he was about to pass the meal around, a young eunuch barged in unexpectedly and said that His Majesty wanted to execute Eunuch Gao.

The Eunuch Gao mentioned by the little eunuch was Gao Shun, the former chief steward of the imperial court. Gao Shun had served Emperor Wen Zhao for half his life, and had watched the emperor's heirs grow up. When Shen Yuchen heard this, he felt that the matter was not a big deal and he did not eat lunch. , and took everyone directly to the Yangxin Hall.

On the way, the little eunuch also made it clear that one of Gao Shun's apprentices had secretly formed a relationship with a palace maid next to Concubine Jing. For three months, he revealed everything to Concubine Jing, who was there. Keep an eye on His Majesty.

Emperor Wen Zhao was furious and immediately executed the two people who had paired up to eat.

Even Gao Shun was implicated.

When several people arrived, people were kneeling inside and outside the Yangxin Hall, all trying to persuade Emperor Wen Zhao to calm down.

Shen Yuchen and Shangguan Xiaoyue didn't know how long they tried to persuade him before they saved Gao Shun's life. Gao Shun was sent out of the palace with nothing except the little money Shen Yuchen gave him privately.

It was at that time that Emperor Wen Zhao issued an edict that it was strictly forbidden to eat each other in the palace. Once discovered, even the master would be implicated. When Emperor Wen Zhao issued this edict, Gu Yunchu happened to be present. It was also the first time she felt this. See how frightening imperial power is.

"Concubine De, I ask you, do you still think that all this has nothing to do with you? Do you need me to repeat to you what my father said before?" Emperor Yin De's tone was calm and authoritative.

Just as Concubine De recovered her thoughts, she returned to the Heart-nurturing Hall where Wen Zhao lived for 20 years.

The food issue was indeed serious. If Shangguan Xiaoyue hadn't cried anxiously and Emperor Wen Zhao had relented, Gao Shun might have really lost his life.

Concubine De knelt down again and said respectfully to Emperor Yin De, "I accidentally made a mistake regarding the food incident. I ask your Majesty to punish you, but please believe that I don't know anything. I am charged with murdering the prince." On my concubine’s head, then I am not aggrieved?”

Concubine De knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, but relying on Emperor Yin De's little friendship with her and the Gu family, she hoped that Emperor Yin De would give her time to investigate this matter. Clear.

Emperor Yinde stood up and walked out of the palace, "This time I will temporarily remove the right to co-manage the Sixth Palace. If I find anything again, let alone whether you can still support Wenjing, think about how to protect yourself first. .”

After Emperor Yin De finished speaking, he walked away directly, leaving only Concubine De who was already in tears. She had to think about this matter carefully and who wanted to plot against her.

Now, she had to go to Ye Ting to see Xiao Fazi and see if she could ask anything out of his mouth. She had a feeling that there must be something wrong with this little Fazi. He was usually a very honest little boy. Eunuch, why did you do such a thing?

But Concubine De didn't ask anything from Xiao Fazi's mouth. On the contrary, Concubine De just walked out of Yeting and Xiao Fazi died.

Now Concubine De couldn't wash herself off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Concubine De's face was full of nervousness and loss, and she seemed to be walking aimlessly on the palace road. When she reached the palace gate, she happened to meet Gu Wenkang who was about to leave the palace.

Mingxin took the palace people back a little further and let her master talk to the young master.

Gu Wenkang had just come out of Yangxin Hall and knew everything.

The same words just now hit his heart directly, 'Wenkang, I will not involve you in my harem affairs, and I hope you will not interfere in my harem affairs. ’

This was the first time Emperor Yin De warned him, and he knew in his heart that Emperor Yin De was really angry this time.

"My dear, please tell me the truth. How much do you know about this matter?"

Concubine De shook her head, "I really don't know anything. Brother, I was plotted by someone. I also have a guess that the person who plotted against me is either Concubine Xian or Zhang Yunv who is under my nose." , Concubine Xian seems to be innocent, but the Ji family’s business in Jiangnan is so big, it’s possible that if she gives two pieces of brocade and then puts on a good show in front of His Majesty, she can be clean.”

"Zhang Yunv seems to be doing her job, but a little palace maid must have a lot of tricks to climb up. Brother, what I mean is that it is best to go to Jiangnan now, find Hui Zhaoyuan's family, and have a look Can you find out anything?"

"Otherwise, let alone a prince, I am afraid that this palace will also lose Princess Wen Jing."

Gu Wenkang looked at his sister like this, and he must be lying if he said he didn't feel sorry for her. After all, this crime was not a small one.

It seems that we have to send someone to Jiangnan.
