Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Cai Jun looked expectant, "How to turn passive into active? As the emperor said, the princess, who is an orphan and widowed mother, came from afar, and dared to act like this in the palace. There must be someone behind her. The enemy is in the dark, so let's take some action. Then they will scare the snake, and if they lose the opportunity, it is very likely that they will be led by the nose.”

"The Prime Minister's words are wrong." Zhao Sansi retorted him very confidently, "The palace is not their territory, it should be that they act cautiously, and the grass and trees are like soldiers. I think we should make a big fanfare. This is not called scaring the snake, but It's called leading the snake out of the cave."

Cai Jun was taken aback for a moment, they had been stuck in the alley of "beating the grass to scare the snake", and they had forgotten the truth of what the little emperor said.Princess Mingshao and the young prince are both in the palace now, if it is really the remnants who want to use the young prince to revive the previous dynasty, they should be the ones who messed up first.

Thinking of this, Cai Juan immediately regained his spirits, "It's my minister who is dull."

Zhao Sansi smiled, "The prime minister is too modest."

Cai Jun also laughed, "Perhaps I should say that the emperor is wise."

Zhao Sansi, who was seldom praised by his assistant ministers and Taifu, was very unflattering, and his face turned red, "It's...really?"

Seeing her shy look, Cai Jun was stunned, and after recovering, he hurriedly lowered his head again. He must have misunderstood, that gave birth to the illusion that the little emperor was like a shy girl.

In order not to let himself think too much, after Cai Jun nodded, he quickly changed the subject, "I heard that the emperor won't let Mrs. Gu sleep in these two days, the emperor has had a bad time with his wife..."

"How is it possible?" As soon as Cai Jun finished speaking, Zhao Sansi immediately answered, and said decisively: "Prime Minister, please don't talk nonsense, my wife and I have a good relationship."

Cai Jun raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Really?"

"Of course." In order to increase the credibility, Zhao Sansi gritted his teeth, "I can tell if the prime minister is a caring person, this woman, there are so many inconvenient days every month..."

Cai Jun blinked. After all, it was for the man who has been married for so many years. He quickly realized what she meant by those few days. Looking at Zhao Sansi's still young face, he felt Unbelievable, it took a while before he sighed, "Your Majesty knows a lot."

Zhao Sansi didn't respond, she was a big girl pretending to be a man and discussing women's affairs with men, she was so ashamed to think about it, I don't know if the imperial concubine knew about it, would she beat her up again.

Cai Jun watched her face blushing slightly again, and felt even more surprised, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought she was really shy, so he wisely stopped talking, and said a few words that had nothing to do with her If it matters, leave.

With Zhao Sansi's awakening words, Cai Jun immediately re-discussed the matter with others. After Duan Fei got the news, he also secretly sent a message to Gu Xizhao.

Unlike Zhao Sansi who is sullen, Gu Xizhao, who has long been used to sharing the bed with others, is not used to sleeping alone, and will always whisper Zhao Sansi to herself before going to bed, but she is not as dependent as others.Zhao Sansi had a cold war with her, and she just had time to deal with Princess Mingshao.

On the other hand, Concubine Ning has been secretly investigating the cause of Madam Qing's death. After investigating for so long, she found a clue from a court lady next to Madam An who came to Mingxing Palace with Princess Mingshao to enjoy the ginkgo. Someone did enter Madam Qing's palace.

The maid next to Mrs. An is from the same town as the maid who is working next to Mrs. Qing. The two often meet in private. When she came to Mingxing Palace that day, because Mrs. An didn't want her to serve her, she wanted to secretly find her fellow villager. Only then did I see someone entering Mrs. Qing's side hall.

Gu Xizhao was not surprised by this result. What she was wondering about was who that person was, or whose person she belonged to. "The court lady can clearly see what that person looks like?"

"No. She only said that the maid was born face-to-face, and that she was taller than ordinary court ladies." Dowager Ning shook her head, and immediately added: "But the court lady said something to me, saying that Mrs. Qing The maids around her also saw that person, but Mrs. Qing's maids were not surprised."

Gu Xizhao unconsciously pressed the table top, and looked at Concubine Ning after a while, "Do you know that Mrs. Qing's court lady knows about her private meeting?"

Concubine Ning nodded, "Mrs. Qing has always been kind to her maid, and this maid is also devoted to her..."

Halfway through the speech, Concubine Ning suddenly realized, "Ma'am, what she meant was that the palace maid that day might be Jiang... No wonder, she didn't have the slightest precaution..."

Concubine Ning looked lonely, Gu Xizhao glanced at her, "I thought that with that Miss Lin San, you should have jumped out of the muddy pit of Mrs. Qing."

"Ma'am, don't make fun of me. After all these years of friendship, how can you just say it all?" Dowager Ning smiled wryly, and cheered up again, "If he really came with Princess Mingshao and the others that day. After seeing Ming Xinggong, the following things are quite reasonable. Ever since she became pregnant, she has been very cautious, she was not at ease with the things I sent her, and her fetal appearance has always been good, but if she listened to the sweet words of her sweetheart, it would be hard to say... ..."

"I asked someone to check. Jiang Ming was on duty that day, and he never left." Gu Xizhao answered her words calmly.

"That……"

Gu Xizhao remembered Weicheng's words, and had a faint guess in her heart, "I have an idea about this matter."

Concubine Ning saw that she didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, Gu Xizhao took advantage of Zhao Sansi's early morning visit to Chengqian Palace and asked Duan Fei to call Weicheng over.

When the Acropolis came over, the palace people all withdrew.

"You're a smart man." After Weicheng saluted, Gu Xizhao stopped playing around with him, "The guards should know what it is that I called you here today."

Acropolis did not respond.

Gu Xizhao took the teacup to chuī, then covered it again, "Is the eldest son of the Jiang family not dead at all?"

Weicheng immediately knelt down, "I don't know..."

Gu Xizhao's expression did not change, "A good man should pay attention to affection, but he should distinguish between serious and serious. Weicheng, you are a person with a bright future."

The room was quiet for a long time, before Weicheng opened his mouth in a low voice, "I really don't know, I just heard him say once after drinking that he is actually the eldest son of the Jiang family, because he is so similar to his younger brother, and his parents are separated. If you don’t come out, after sending the person away, you will know that you have sent the wrong person..."

send away?

That is still alive.

Gu Xizhao thought for a moment, then raised her hand towards the Acropolis, "Get up."

Weicheng didn't get up, "I'm telling the truth, please trust me, madam."

"Then let me ask you, are you willing to assign Hua Rongxu to Jiang Ming?"

Weicheng hesitated for a moment, kowtowed to Gu Xizhao, and then said: "I am not happy."

"Why not happy?"

"My minister... I am delighted with Miss Huarong."

"Aside from that, are there other reasons?"

"Besides... there is... Jiang Shiwei has a girl he likes."

"How did you know he had a girl in mind?"

Weicheng closed his eyes, with a dejected expression, "He had private meetings with people in the palace several times, and asked Weichen to cover him."

Gu Xizhao chuckled, "I never thought that the guards would be the ones who betrayed their friends for the sake of women."

Weicheng flinched a bit, "I deserve to die for my friends being unjust. But I deserve to die even more for being unfaithful to the emperor and his wife. I don't want to miss my old love, and betray Jiang Shiwei not just for the sake of Miss Huarong, It's...it's Weichen's suspicion that Jiang Shiwei...is from the previous court."

Gu Xizhao didn't respond.

The whole body of Weicheng was prostrate on the ground, "The previous dynasty has been destroyed for so long, and the people of the previous dynasty are now submitting to our dynasty. It is okay to enter the dynasty as an official. But the strange thing about Jiang's family is here. Many of the rules follow those of the previous dynasty, but they have to pretend to be..."

Gu Xizhao picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Guard guard, get up, I was just joking with you just now."

Acropolis got up now, stood on one side, and said no more.

"I am very pleased that you can truthfully tell me these things today." Gu Xizhao put down the teacup, "As for today's words, you should know whether or not to let a third person know. Go on."

Wei Cheng took a look at her and saw that her expression was normal, so he replied and left.

After Weicheng left, Gu Xizhao sat in the warm pavilion for a while, then ignored Li Zhongxian's persuasion, and returned to Changle Palace with Chan'er and others.

She is not yet the lord of the Six Palaces, so she can't send the guards to the harem without authorization, so she can only come to Chengqian Palace for questioning.

The matter of keeping the sachet was investigated slowly, in order to attract the people behind Princess Mingshao.In the past, they were afraid of scaring the snakes, so the matter of the sachet was carried on so calmly. Now, in order to lure the snakes out of the hole, under Cai Jun's instruction, some courtiers brought the matter to the court again.
