Hearing the imperial concubine ask about Chen Debao, Gan Tang almost swore to promise: "Madam, Eunuch Chen is in trouble, so he dare not involve our Yikun Palace at 01:30. He still points at us! Now he has been convicted of a felony In exile, all the money saved in these years must have been collected by the Department of Punishment. It is the time when we are at the end of the mountain, so we can only hope that our palace will stretch out some money and send him some money. Otherwise, it will be a long journey. How can he survive? come over."

On the road of exile, whether there is silver or not is the key to surviving.

The noble concubine heard the words: "Send someone to the Punishment Department and tell him quietly that if he keeps his mouth shut, there will be money for him before he leaves the palace. If he can't control his mouth, it will save trouble. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain." Pain—he doesn't have to go on this road of exile!"

Gan Tang hastily agreed.

But the noble concubine wanted to worry more and more, believing that the nobleman's current situation was just like when she first entered the palace: because the emperor has her in his heart, anyone who offends her is tantamount to offending the emperor.If she sues, there is no one she can't sue.

Although she was a side Fujin at that time, and later she was only a noble concubine and not a queen, but she has always been able to stand against Ulanara in the palace and palace.

Does the nobleman have such a status in the emperor's heart now?

Seeing that the imperial concubine's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Gan Tang carefully asked from the side: "Your Majesty, should we find a way to send that court lady to the An Le Hall for disposal? To make an example to the monkeys, at least let the nobleman know the fear, don't let her think Our Yikun Palace is easy to bully."

An Le Hall sounds like a place of auspiciousness and happiness, but in the eyes of the palace people, entering the An Le Hall is equivalent to entering the underworld with half a foot.

The maids and eunuchs who served in the palace would be sent to the Anle Hall for concentrating on 'recovery' when they got sick.On the surface, An Le Tang was treated by low-level medical officers sent by the imperial hospital, but in fact it was just a fake, and it relied on the monthly routine of ordinary palace people.

Those who have survived the disease well, and the master who served them before was kind and willing to let them go back, they can still climb out of the An Le Tang.But this kind of lucky one out of ten is generally "unfortunately died of illness".

Because the palace will give coffin money to the palace people who died of illness, but if everyone died, the coffin money would directly fall into the hands of the eunuch in charge of An Le Tang.So of course the directors of An Le Tang are looking forward to death, not life.Therefore, for those who survived by chance, it is the second most important thing to buy medicines for the Tai Hospital with money, mainly to bribe these bosses.

This An Le Hall is right next to the Bei'an Gate, and as soon as you open the door, you will find the Jing Le Hall, where corpses are cremated—the dead are wrapped in a linen cloth and burned cleanly. .

What Gan Tang meant was to think of a way to plug the approach bridge into the Anle Hall, and then give the small silver to the head of the Anle Hall. People can enter alive, and go out dead, and it's over.

Jiang Heng didn't know that the imperial concubine believed that she could influence the emperor's judgment, so she had to say: You are flattering me.

Who is Emperor Yongzheng, that is really the vision of listening to reincarnation.He will be eccentric, but the premise is that the person is worthy of his eccentricity, and he must always be worthy, and he cannot live up to his trust.

For example, the Thirteenth Master is now suing the courtiers, and it must be true for every complaint, and the same is true for recommendations.

But that's because the Thirteenth Master started everything from public affairs, and everything was for the emperor's consideration. The emperor completely believed in him, so he listened to him.

If it were another person, he would have the emperor's partiality and abuse the emperor's trust, and use the emperor's trust to eradicate dissidents.Once the emperor finds out, he will definitely return the principal with interest.

Speaking of this example, it is not an outsider.The historical concubine Nian's elder brother, General Nian Gengyao, is such a model.The emperor also trusted him very much, but after he started to fight against dissidents and specialize in corruption, the emperor would punish him severely, and he was more angry than other officials who violated the national law.

Although Jiang Heng did not expect that the imperial concubine would raise her to such a height.But she thought that someone might make things difficult for her.

Now the Punishment Department is still investigating this matter, the approach bridge belongs to the victim, no one will harm her now and commit crimes against the wind.But after this incident, perhaps there will be action.

Jiang Heng didn't want to intervene in the plot in advance by himself, but instead killed the lead bridge.

This matter has already passed before the emperor, Jiang Heng did not go to rack his brains in private, but directly mentioned it to the emperor that day: "This court lady who was bullied by Chen Neijian is innocent, as far as my concubine knows, she was sent to Jing Going to Qi Pavilion was originally framed."

The emperor then ordered Su Peisheng to transfer the innocent victim to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as an errand, and handed her over to the caretaker of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the emperor's order, what Su Peisheng personally handles can be regarded as a talisman for leading the bridge.

Jiang Heng thought that with the ability to lead the bridge, it might not be so bumpy to be a female official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in this life.

"You said that the palace lady with a demonic look...is she somewhat pretty?" When Gan Tang asked if he should think of a way to deal with the bridge approach, he suddenly heard the imperial concubine ask this.

Gan Tang confirmed: "It's quite pretty, but the eyebrows and eyes look restless at first glance, it's not a good one."

In the harem, beauty is also divided into good and bad.

In fact, although the noble concubine was born beautiful, she was a beauty that did not catch the eyes of the elders.

Let the Empress Dowager see that the most beautiful person in this palace is the stable and beautiful Concubine Xi, or the sweet and well-behaved Xingui.

Yinqiao's eyebrows and eyes are naturally charming, and she belongs to a girl who is beautiful but 'not pretty'.

The noble concubine smiled coldly: "Now that this incident has just passed the emperor's ears, it would be too conspicuous to find someone to deal with the maid immediately. I can't believe that the noble is waiting for us to deal with the maid so that she can continue to sue. Let's not move on to that maid." Maid of the palace, you should especially praise her!" The imperial concubine glanced at Gan Tang: "You go talk to that maid of honor and see how she is, if she is willing to serve the emperor, it is not impossible for me to praise her."

Gan Tang immediately understood: "Your Majesty is indeed very knowledgeable. If the court lady whom the noble lord has befriended herself, bites her instead and robs her of the emperor's favor, she must be pissed off to death, and this servant will go right away."

Seeing that Gan Tang was about to go immediately, the imperial concubine frowned: "What's the rush? How many people are staring at this court lady now, what are you rushing to do now?!"

"Wait for Shengjia to go out of the palace to Chengde, and the nobleman has also left the palace." When mentioning this matter, the noble concubine couldn't even sneer: "This is not to disappoint our empress, and deliberately let me stay." '!"

Gan Tang dared not say a word.

This is the first time the emperor has driven to Chengde Hunting Garden since he ascended the throne. Of course, the imperial concubine wanted to accompany him: to change the environment of the vast grassland, to change the atmosphere, without these obtrusive women around.Maybe she and the emperor will be able to reconcile as before.

The clinker queen actually took the bottom line and said that she would let the imperial concubine stay and watch the house with her!

On the contrary, the group of women who were in the way in the eyes of the imperial concubine went all over the place—the queen mother ordered ten young concubines to accompany her.

The imperial concubine was almost pissed off by the empress. Recently, when paying her respects, every time she bowed her knees to the empress, the imperial concubine felt that she didn't want to bend her knees, so she couldn't wait.

Speaking of this matter now, I still feel a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Gan Tang held her breath and dared not speak again, for fear of getting into bad luck, and then thought in her heart: This time Chen Debao's incident was a bit self-defeating, he must not make mistakes again, he must get that court lady named Yingdi into his hands , Let her be obedient, serve the emperor, and slap the face of the trustworthy nobleman.

It doesn't matter whether the nobleman wins over the court lady, or helps the maid when she sees injustice, as long as the maid betrays her and becomes the little lord of the palace, the nobleman will be ashamed, and the imperial concubine's anger will probably be fine.

When Gan Tang made up his mind, he was still a little jealous.

Speaking of which, the imperial concubine always regarded Sheng Chong as her eyeballs, and never allowed others to touch her eyeballs.I never thought of promoting a maid in the palace to serve the emperor.

Unexpectedly, such a good thing would fall on a humble court lady of Jingqi Pavilion!

Gan Tang felt that he was much stronger than this court lady.

The young concubine who was chosen by the Queen Mother to accompany her did not have a good life during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is true that there are a lot of festive banquets in the palace, no matter how grand the festive banquet is, if they are always present and promised, they can only serve as the background board of the last seat, which is meaningless.

But there are very few opportunities to go out to the Chengde Hunting Garden with the emperor, and they are all counting on this time to come out.

The noble concubine was dissatisfied and disdainful about this. On the night before the holy driver was about to leave, the noble concubine sat hugging her quilt and said: "Do they think that if they can go out with the holy driver, they will have a bright future? A bunch of waste. The emperor liked the weird tea. I found out the most important citron for them. I didn't want them to worry about it. I sent a letter to the whole palace to know. But this group of newcomers didn't have any A new tea that can make the emperor like it!"

"It's just that the nobles came up with some loose-leaf albums, which won the emperor's favor. They went to school again, and embroidered various covers for the loose-leaf albums in the palace—what's the use of it!"

Shu Pu was listening to the empress's complaints, but had nothing to say.

Let’s talk about the news that the citron tea was ordered by the imperial concubine to buy it from the little eunuch in the imperial tea room at a high price. Head to do something else.As for this citron tea, it is said that the emperor has passed the freshness and doesn't like to drink it anymore. It was really a waste of work.

Shu Pu has always been in charge of the intelligence work of Yikun Palace, and she has to be responsible for inquiring about any new things that the nobleman makes.

You can be trusted that this frequency is a bit high, Shu Pu really can't keep up with it, which makes him exhausted physically and mentally.

So much so that now she trembles when she hears the word Xinguiren.This time the nobleman accompanied him out of the palace, who would have thought that Yikun Gong Shupu was one of the happiest people in the palace.

Before Jiang Heng left the palace, Zhang Yuzhu came to see him again, and brought Jiang Heng a piece of news: Chen Debao had recently bribed the family of an ordinary eunuch, Little Six, in Yonghe Palace.

After Jiang Heng heard it, he asked the most important thing first: "Did he confess who he bought?"

Zhang Yuzhu shook his head in embarrassment.

What Gan Tang said was correct, Chen Debao did not dare to confess his concubine.He is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If he confesses to the imperial concubine, he is afraid that he will be killed as soon as he leaves the capital.Especially when going to Yili, you will pass through the territory of the imperial concubine's elder brother, "Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi".

So Chen Debao withstood the punishment of the Punishment Department, and he didn't confess a word in a daze.He only killed the eunuch who he had bought for Yonghe Palace, in order to curry favor with the emperor's new favorite nobleman.Don't say it, this is really a reasonable reason.

Without Chen Debao's confession, there would be no evidence of the imperial concubine's instigation. Just because Chen Debao went to the imperial concubine's palace to pay her respects, and walked relatively close to the maid of honor in the imperial concubine's palace, there is no way to convict him.

Of course, the Punishment Department does not want to provoke the imperial concubine without evidence. Chen Debao's crimes only include the matter of buying the family members outside the womb of Xiaoliu, a palace maid from the Yonghe Palace. It is mixed with the mistakes Chen Debao has made in the past few decades. not obvious.If Zhang Yuzhu hadn't had a grudge against Chen Debao, he would not have found out if he went through his crimes carefully.

At this time, Zhang Yuzhu said cautiously: "The holy driver is about to drive to Mulan Hunting Garden in the past two days. The Punishment Department reported Chen Debao's crimes with a total of seven pages. It is said that Long Live Lord has no time to read. The company will follow the old rules and wait for a heavy punishment."

"If you want to investigate again, you'd better mention it to the emperor before Chen Debao leaves the capital. If you have the emperor's words, the Department of Punishment will re-trial, so you don't have to worry about it... Maybe Chen Debao can spit out more words."

Jiang Heng only said: "Eunuch Zhang has a heart. I will consider this matter again. But I will go out of Beijing with the emperor soon, and there are few people left in the Yonghe Palace, so Eunuch Zhang spared no time to make up for me. yes."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, other slaves can't guarantee it, but this time the little eunuch assigned by the respect office must be a smart and innocent one, and this slave will guarantee it with his head!"

Jiang Heng wanted to give away the purse, but Zhang Yuzhu was determined not to accept it: "This time, the matter of the servant respecting the room has offended the empress and polluted the nobleman's eyes. If you take the nobleman's money again, the servant's face will be lost!"

After Zhang Yuzhu resigned, Jiang Heng sat and thought for a while, whether he should dig deep into Chen Debao and lead him to the imperial concubine, but finally decided to stay safe.In the eyes of the emperor, it was just a coincidence that she met the approach bridge. If this coincidence happened to lead to the noble concubine again, Jiang Heng was not sure whether the emperor would think too much about it.

In the first two or three months after arriving here, Jiang Heng was very puzzled why the emperor's attitude towards the noble concubine was so different from that in the book.It wasn't until he discovered something strange about the emperor himself that the doubt was easily resolved.

At this time, she tried to guess the emperor's psychology, and felt that the emperor probably had a very complicated feeling of intolerance towards the noble concubine here.

An emperor's intolerance is actually more difficult to deal with than pampering.

The emperor in "Xinfeilu" seems to be an affectionate person, but there is a saying that once an affectionate person becomes ruthless, he will be the most ruthless.

A few years later, Nian Gengyao gradually grew up, and began to go out of the Northwest by virtue of his achievements in pacifying Qinghai, and directly violated the law in the capital, and the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Nian also broke down.

After breaking up, the emperor no longer cares about the noble concubine. When it is really affectionate, it is as deep as the sea, and when it is ruthless, the emperor's heart is like prison.

But the problem is that the current emperor has changed the core.

Judging by Jiang Heng's observation and understanding of the leadership's thoughts these days, the emperor's attitude towards the noble concubine is quite complicated. It is probably because of the premature death of all the children of the noble concubine in history, and the young death of the noble concubine himself, which made him sad.So even though he would never look up the brand of the noble concubine, and would no longer give her the honor of violating the etiquette, he also said, don't treat the noble concubine harshly, and should still give her what she deserves according to her rank.

Jiang Heng took a leadership attitude and decided to keep a respectful attitude towards the imperial concubine: the imperial concubine can do it by herself, but what she wears is the emperor's patience.

But the rest of the people had better not take the initiative to target the imperial concubine without hard evidence.

So Jiang Heng only asked Qiulu Qiuwu to take care of the house.Because Qiuxue Qiushuang always went with her, so the valuables in this palace must be locked up.Jiang Heng prepared 200 taels of silver in advance and put it on the box of the dressing table: "You are at home, if you have money to use, you can use it yourself, and just record the accounts. Anyone who comes in and out according to the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Bookkeeping according to the original rules."

And told them again not to go out if there is nothing to do.

She is not in the palace, but the imperial concubine is in the palace.

At this time, the importance of the location of the Yonghe Palace became more and more obvious-it was next to the Queen's Chengqian Palace, and Chengqian Palace was a natural barrier.

It was a long process for Shengjia to leave the Forbidden City.

It is said that the emperor's royal bodyguard team has already left the front gate of the palace, but the carriages in the harem are still lined up.Jiang Heng sat in the car and waited, thinking that the drive should be quite boring.

Because she cherishes her current eyesight, the carriage always bumps on the road, so she can't read books, so as not to hurt her eyes.Not knowing how to pass the time on this journey, the little apprentice next to Su Peisheng sent a huge version of Russian matryoshka, which is half the height of a person.

Su Peisheng's little apprentice is fair and clean, with a very pleasing little round face, and his words are particularly sweet: "Long Live God ordered the slave master to send it to the nobleman. He said that he was bored on the road. The nobleman can use this new gadget to relieve boredom."

Jiang Heng didn't expect to see Russian nesting dolls here.

Jiang Heng carefully recalled the historical knowledge in his mind, and then remembered that, too, there is already a Russian business house in Beijing and China—after Emperor Kangxi signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk with Tsarist Russia, the two countries held road tickets merchants will be able to trade with each other.

Jiang Hengyuan thought that she was familiar with Russian dolls when she was a child, so she probably couldn't pass the time.

But soon, Jiang Heng discovered that the emperor was indeed the emperor, and his speech was very effective. This Russian doll wasted a lot of time on the road: it was not troublesome for her to take apart the dolls and unfold them one by one, but when the carriage bumped, all The small-sized nesting dolls rolled away, and half of various types of nesting dolls were strewn all over the carriage.

Jiang Heng and Qiu Xue Qiushuang just bowed their heads to look for the wandering dolls along the way, killing some time.

It wasn't until after finding all the children together that Jiang Heng locked them up that he was relieved.
