The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

This was probably Heidan's first setback in his life.

Born as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he is favored by Zhu Di, and he has always dared to confront the King of Han without suffering any disadvantages.Today, I wanted to severely punish a group of slaves in the Han Palace, but at night I learned that a favorite of the emperor held the emperor as a spear with his left hand and a shield with his right hand. But he could only watch with his own eyes, and he couldn't do anything about it.

How could he swallow this bad breath?

Not to mention, the investigation into the cause of the queen's death was almost done, but now it has come to a standstill because of Zhou Xin's arrest.

After Heidan finished talking about Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi's opinions, I sat with him on the porch facing Yue Ku, and we sat there until dawn.

He went out of the palace twice yesterday, he was already extremely tired, but because of his depressed mood, he didn't want to go back to sleep no matter what.

"I want that seat very much now, Ruowei." When the sky was about to dawn, outside the misty palace wall in the distance, the sky was as white as fish belly, and slowly oozing red light.He leaned against me and said in a low voice.

I was thinner and smaller than him, and he leaned head-to-head with me, looking extraordinarily fragile.

Many things cannot be done without the power in that position; many people who want to protect cannot be protected without the power in that position.That's why he suddenly said such outrageous things.

"If you want, I will accompany you to get it." I said softly, "The road ahead may be more difficult than it is now, and I will accompany you."

His knuckle-boned hand held my fingers slightly, and the morning glow rose from the sky, which was fiery red and then overflowed with colorful colors in an instant.

During breakfast, the princess had already learned that Heidan ran out of the palace last night to help me find the golden hairpin, and also knew that Heidan had not returned from my place last night, and was about to accuse me when Heidan got up and ordered the attendants to leave. Next, inform Zhou Xin of his arrest, together with the previously suspected cause of death of Concubine Quan and the Empress, etc., one by one.

After hearing this, the prince and princess were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while.

The prince choked for a long time before he said, "Did you just make up your own mind about such a big matter?"

"This matter involves the second emperor's uncle, and the son is also afraid that the father will be too soft-hearted."

"Knowing that I don't allow it, you still want to investigate? You only said after stabbing Lou Zi, do you still see me as a father? Even if you investigate, you really brought down your second uncle, and your grandpa killed him in a fit of anger. Is such a result really what your grandma in the spirit of the sky would like to see!" After the prince finished cursing, he was tired and out of breath.

Heidan got up and knelt on the ground, and I followed him.Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanqian also stood up and wanted to kneel. The princess hurriedly persuaded: "Isn't it because the father and His Highness spoiled the second brother too much, so Jier had to investigate by himself? Although this child is hiding it from you I don’t care about killing people indiscriminately outside, killing officials indiscriminately, killing my mother and other violations of family laws and immorality, and I don’t care about killing my father and king in the future!”

The Crown Prince's eloquence is not as sharp as that of the Crown Princess Concubine, unable to speak, he said angrily, "I can't speak to your mother and son! What do you think should be done now?!"

The princess said: "Last night, Ji'er has already questioned Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong. The most urgent thing is to reopen the old case and let His Majesty interrogate Zhou Xin himself. One thing will give Zhou Xin the opportunity to tell what has been found, so that we can continue to investigate." ; The second case involves the empress mother, so His Majesty will not be in a hurry to kill him. It is not convenient for His Highness to come forward, so it is better to let Jier go to the father to speak."

"Let's do it this way." The prince's anger still persisted, he put down his chopsticks, got up and left: "I went to Concubine Guo's for breakfast, please take it easy!"

After the prince left, the room was silent for a while.

Heidan said: "The son is worrying the concubine mother."

The princess raised her hand and made us calm down: "I'm fine, but you do things, even if you are sincerely for your father, you should also consider his face." After speaking, she sighed and looked at the picture of a tiger hanging on the wall. , Youyou sighed: "Otherwise, you will be born with him, and one day in the future, you will be wronged. He is not just your son."

After breakfast, I put on a little make-up and went to face the saint with Heidan.

The emperor was at Wang Zhaorong's place, writing poems with Zhaorong on the folding fan of Xingong in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were not in a bad mood.

Seeing us coming, the emperor called Heidan to write a poem: "Let's use this painting on the fan as the title and write a six-character poem."

I stepped forward to serve the pen and ink, Heidan thought for a while, and wrote with a pen: "Xiangpu is misty and green, and Shanxi is fragrant with flowers and rain. Sweep away the scorching heat in the world, and bring back the coolness in the sky."

I dried the ink and presented it to Zhu Di, who chanted and praised: "Good weather!" After saying that, he rewarded Heitan with ten golden fans with red lacquered bones and green paper.

Heidan thank you, and I also stepped forward, thanking His Majesty for allowing me to leave the palace yesterday, and rewarding me with silk and satin.

The emperor smiled and said to Wang Zhaorong: "Look, they are really a beautiful couple. You can take care of the overall situation, and if you do well, you should be rewarded. It is worthwhile for the princess to teach you with all her heart." His eyes fell on me. On the top of the bun, he said again: "The queen's hairpin, you wear it neatly, very generously." The tone was very nostalgic.

The method of wearing hairpins varies from person to person. I asked the princess beforehand and intentionally imitated the way the empress wore them during her lifetime.

Finally mentioning the late Empress, Heidan said: "Grandson has something to do with Grandma Huang, please Grandpa Huang step back."

The emperor's expression froze, Wang Zhaorong got up and took the lead to leave, Zhu Di didn't say anything to keep her, and the rest of the palace and I followed her out of the palace.

Not long after, people were called in from the hall, and a young eunuch rushed out with an order. In the time it took for a cup of tea, there were several guards in brocade clothes covering the head and tail, and a group of purple-clothed eunuchs in the middle carried a bloody man into the hall in front of us. I know that It's Zhou Xin.

As a human being in two lifetimes, it was the first time that I understood what it meant to be "bruised."A good piece of flesh on his body was gone, bloody and bloody, with black blood scabs, red blood, yellowish or even rotten flesh glowing green.

Wang Zhaorong, who was beside me, smelled the smell and immediately covered her mouth with a veil. She vomited up her breakfast, and I hurriedly waited for her with the maids to sit and rest in the small pavilion at the back of the palace. Call the female officer of medicine.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the heat is steaming from the ground, scorching hot.The ladies in the palace were playing round fans, and my face was still sweating.I can't imagine how painful it would be for Zhou Xin, a person with injuries all over his body, soaked in sweat in this hot weather.

I didn't sleep all night, I was exhausted, and I still had to worry about Heidan and Zhou Xin, plus I couldn't lose my composure in front of Wang Zhaorong, and I had to spend my brain trying to talk to her. The waiting time was torture for me every minute and every second.The emperor's trial lasted more than two hours.After finally waiting for Heidan to come to Xiaogezi to pick me up and return to the East Palace, it was already past noon.

Back in the East Palace, the prince and princess were also waiting anxiously.

"How?" The prince asked as soon as he entered the door.

Heidan said: "Zhou Xin is temporarily saved. The emperor's grandfather ordered Cui Meiren and several eunuchs from the Imperial Medicine Bureau to be arrested, and handed over to Huang Yan and Haishou for secret interrogation. Concubine Zhang has not been touched yet, but he has given the British public alchemy book Iron coupon."

Huang Yan and Haishou were the two eunuchs who went to Korea to choose Concubine Quan to join Daming. Among them, Huang Yan made friends with King Zhao, and Haishou made friends with the crown prince.Selecting people like this means not trusting the King of Han, and also not trusting the Prince.

The Danshu iron certificate is what later generations call the "gold medal for avoiding death".The gold medal for exempting the British public from death means that the emperor decided to investigate Concubine Zhang next, and was afraid that the British public Zhang Fu, who was fighting abroad, would be unstable, so he promised not to get involved in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

The prince asked, "What about Ji Gang?"

Heidan said: "Grandpa Huang's trust in Ji Gang is hard to shake for a while. Moreover, Ji Gang said to Grandpa Huang before that Zhou Xin was arrested to prevent Li Chun from Jinyiwei's thousand households from doing business for him."

The prince snorted coldly and asked, "What is Li Chun doing?"

Mentioning this, Heidan almost gritted his teeth with hatred: "The death of Concubine Cha Xian."

The thief shouted, "Stop thief," and bit back.As expected of Ji Gang.

The prince still wanted to ask something, but Heidan next to me suddenly leaned forward, and the eunuch Fan Hong and I stepped forward and tried our best not to fall to the ground.

I grabbed his arms and realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat.Touch both hands again, they are cold.
