Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

Mrs. Zhou didn't even have time to talk to her, she dragged Zhou Liang and ran away. There was a stone slab hidden in a bush in the backyard.

She lifted the slate hard, and there was a small tunnel inside.

Only one person could pass through the tunnel, but the officers and soldiers were about to rush in, and at that moment, both Zhou Yuan and Zhou Liang wanted to enter the tunnel at the same time.

The heads of the two people knocked together, making a lot of noise.

Zhou Yuan raised her head, but before she could react, Mrs. Zhou pushed her aside and pushed Zhou Liang into the tunnel.

The slate was closed immediately, and then covered by weeds.

Zhou Yuan stared blankly at her mother, when the guards rushed over and pinned the two of them to the ground.

Mrs. Zhou saw Zhou Yuan's resentful eyes with her own eyes.

Zhou Liang fled to the outside of the city along the tunnel by himself.

Feng Xian saw that everyone had been captured, only Zhou Liang was absconding, and there was no news of those who went out to pursue them. However, the people who ransacked Zhou's house found a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the mansion. The amount was so large that even Feng Xian himself had Thousands of assets still surprised him.

In fact, these properties were mainly obtained by Zhou Taifu's bribes in those years.As early as when the crown prince was still there and his position was stable, Zhou Taifu, as the prince's teacher, was flattered by various people in the court and received a lot of gold and silver as bribes. He still has a lot of money in the Zhou mansion.

Feng Xian waved his hand back, "All the people should be sent to the prison, and I will report to the imperial concubine before issuing them. The gold and silver and other items will be sent to the treasury after they are counted and registered. I will search for the rooms that were not found. ."

When the outside of the palace is turned upside down, the inside of the palace is full of spring and scenery.

Jingchun Palace is like spring all the year round, Jiang Huimin and Xia Qing are sitting at the table, drinking afternoon tea while waiting for Feng Xian's news.

The people who came back in advance have already reported that everyone in the Zhou Mansion except Zhou Liang has been arrested, and the property is also being counted. Feng Xian is still dealing with the last thing.

It was not until the sunset in the afternoon that the two of them waited for Feng Xian to come back.

"My servant greets the two ladies." Feng Xian bowed his head as soon as he entered the door.

"Get up first, what can you find in the house search today?"

"Gold and silver assets are innumerable."

Jiang Huimin sneered coldly, "I know that he has been in contact with ministers all these years, and he has earned a lot of money. In those years, he often mobilized courtiers to impeach me for interfering in politics." She mocked: "It's just a teacher of the prince. That's all, do you really regard yourself as the master of the world?"

"That's because he overestimated himself." Feng Xian replied loudly, "The ruler of the world used to be the emperor, but since yesterday, he has been the empress."

Jiang Huimin laughed.

She looked at Feng Xian, and said: "You must keep an eye on this line of the Zhou family. You must never let people commit suicide. You must follow the vine to find those who have been in contact with Zhou Taifu in those years, as well as Zhou Liang, and get them out as soon as possible." Catch it back."

"The slave leads the order."

At this time, the little eunuchs outside had already started transporting gold and silver to the treasury. Looking in the direction of Jingchun Palace, Jiang Huimin could see people in twos and threes.

"Did you search the Zhou Mansion, apart from property, did you find anything?"

Feng Xian's brows froze instantly, and he bowed his head and replied solemnly: "Other things are basically the property accumulated by the Zhou family over the years, but there is only one thing, which was found in the secret passage of Zhou Taifu's study. The slave looked at it. For a moment, don't dare to act rashly, you must come back and report to the two empresses."

What he said was to tell the two empresses, not to the empress, Jiang Huimin immediately understood the meaning of the words, she whispered: "Bring the things."

Feng Xian bowed his head and presented the object, which was a yellow letter.

She stretched out her hand to open it, and the first line of the letter was "Hello Mr. Zhou."

It is written in the Central Plains, which is not very neat, "Recently, my Beidi tribe has insufficient food and grass, and the people and horses are bitterly cold. I really want to ask for some food and grass from your gang. However, the border guards refused to cooperate. I heard that Xia Zeqian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, strongly advocated making Beidi an enemy. , This is really not what you and I want to see, I hope Master Zhou will fight to solve Xia Zeqian's trouble, and I will send a poison pill with this letter, if Sir can do it, I will be very grateful in the future."

The letter was signed by the leader of the Beidi tribe, nearly ten years ago.

Jiang Huimin knew that date, and that time was not far from when Xia's family was ransacked.

The letter was read by Jiang Huimin. After hearing her read the letter, Xia Qing was completely stunned.

Everything seems to be clear.

Xia Qing only knows that when her family suffered a catastrophe, there was no one in the civil and military courts to plead for Xia's family except for the Ninth Prince. She always felt that the wall was overthrown by everyone, and those courtiers used to wink. She didn't want to know it until today , what happened back then was planned by someone.

It wasn't just the deposed empress in the cold palace who was blowing wind at the emperor's ears, the Zhou family had obviously put a lot of effort into the court as well.

In this way, the Xia family back then would be isolated and helpless, and would be killed in the end.

And all this is because his father was determined to resist Beidi, which touched the interests of various people, including the emperor.

These people only have interests in their eyes, but the interests of the common people do not need to be considered.

Xia Qing burst into tears.

Seeing this, Jiang Huimin held her in her arms and patted her on the back lightly, not knowing how to comfort her.

"You still have me." She heard Jiang Huimin say.

Xia Qing cried even harder. She did have Jiang Huimin, but right now, she only had Jiang Huimin.

Just this one person is enough to warm her cold heart.

Jiang Huimin cupped her face and kissed her forehead lightly.

"The Zhou family has a lot of connections with the abolished empress." Jiang Huimin said.

"Well," Xia Qing gritted his teeth when he mentioned the Zhou family now, "Fortunately, she survived after being abolished. My sister spared her life. Now that people and things are all available, let's ask together."

"good."

Jiang Huimin said, holding her hand in his own and putting it on his chest, "Let's go to the cold palace."

The author has something to say: Good evening, hello (づ￣3￣)づ

Chapter 65 Cold Palace

Lenggong was very far away from Jingchun Palace, Jiang Huimin took Xia Qing into the sedan chair and headed all the way to Lenggong.

The closer the place is to the Leng Palace, the more deserted it is. Xia Qing opened the side curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the lonely alley outside, with withered yellow leaves falling all over the ground, and a few court ladies not far away were cleaning.

After about half an hour, the sedan chair stopped, Jiang Huimin walked down holding Xia Qing's hand, and Lian Yue followed them from afar.

"I didn't want to bring you here." Jiang Huimin said, "There is no popularity here, but I think you should have a lot of things to ask her, so let's come together."

As they spoke, the two walked to the front of the cold palace, and the guard stepped forward and opened the door.

The Leng Palace is different from the palace outside. All kinds of degraded concubines are held here. The doors are usually closed, and there are rooms inside. It looks more cautious than the prison of the Department of Punishment.

Xia Qing didn't take a few steps when she heard a woman singing not far away.

The singing sounded obviously abnormal, and I couldn't make out what it was singing. Xia Qing wanted to look over there, but Jiang Huimin held his hand, "There are madmen everywhere in the cold palace, don't think too much."

Xia Qing didn't say a word.

In front of him was a dilapidated house, the windows were leaking at first glance, with only a few iron pillars blocking them, people inside couldn't get out at all, the small hole on the window was where food was usually brought in.Lian Yue stepped forward and ordered the guards to open the door.

The dilapidated iron door was pulled open with a creak, and the inside was dark. The sun shone in through the door, reflecting the small floating dust in the air.

Xia Qing saw the woman sitting inside.

"Is the emperor finally willing to come to see his concubine?" She heard the woman ask.
