This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 1123 Borrowing swords from the rivers and lakes

"Amber, you're here, come and try this. Mrs. Ying specially sent this from Jiangnan."

Early the next morning, as soon as Hu Hue entered the palace, she saw the radiant Yongle. There was no trace of the bitterness on her pretty face like yesterday. It seemed that this chapter had turned over.

Seeing this, Amber couldn't help but sigh. Should this be said to be the child of the imperial concubine? Yongle's personality is probably not suitable for the palace. He is extremely lucky to have met his majesty now. At least he doesn't have to worry about the rear. Private matters.

It must be said that the original imperial concubine and Empress Yongle were very similar. They were both incompatible with this palace full of scheming.

In the past, the late emperor's concubines were all women from aristocratic families. These concubines were all competing for each other, but no one had ever expected the emperor's sincerity, because what they competed for was not the emperor's favor, but real power.

The one and only exception is Concubine Meng. She is probably the only person in the palace who truly likes the late emperor, just like Yongle now.

Suddenly, Hu Bo missed Axiu Axiu who was in the palace back then. Back then, the imperial concubine was not familiar with people's calculations, so Axiu Axiu came to the palace to accompany her and protect her from the wind and rain, just like herself now.

But the difference is that the imperial concubine is in harmony with the late emperor, and Aunt Axiu already has a place in her heart, so she can help the empress without any distractions.

But she is different.

She was first Yongle's personal maid, and later became a maid in the dowry. The difference in status made it impossible for her to turn a blind eye to the emperor who was so close.

It was just a slight flutter, but it always disappeared completely when faced with Yongle's smiling face that didn't understand the world. This silly princess of hers was really uneasy.

"Amber, what are you doing? Come and have a taste."

Seeing Amber in a daze, Yongle simply took the cake and stuffed it into each other's mouth. Although the two were masters and servants, they had known each other for many years and their relationship was far better than that of ordinary sisters.

"Thank you, empress." Amber swallowed the pastry with a smile, and then saluted Yongle. She knew that the queen treated her sincerely, but she would not forget the due etiquette. This was her duty.

"Isn't it delicious?" Yongle smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It tastes exactly the same as what we had in Jiangnan."

"Indeed, Mrs. Ying's family is interested." Amber also nodded. Not long ago, Yongle mentioned a mouthful of Jiangnan snacks in the palace. Ying Wushang delivered the things so quickly. It seemed that he was very considerate.

"Yes, I also think she is a good person."

Yongle had a good impression of Wu Yaoyao, not only because her husband was the emperor's right-hand man, but also because Wu Yaoyao often gave her gifts that were thoughtful to him.

"Amber, she gave a box of such good snacks, how should we repay the gift?"

Amber thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty will hold a apprenticeship banquet for Prince Ding in a few days. At that time, all the adults will come to the palace to witness it together. Your Majesty might as well invite the female family members to the palace to celebrate together. At that time, I can thank Madam Ying in person."

There is no need for any reward, as long as outsiders know that the emperor and queen are satisfied with each other, then the box of snacks given by the other party will not be a loss.

"Well, let's do it this way."

Amber's opinion was always very good to Yongle. After the matter was settled, she cleared the air and asked: "By the way, I heard from Vanilla that you went out to do errands last night. Why is it so urgent that you have to do something so late at night?" deal with?"

Amber's eyes paused for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It's not a big deal that I misunderstood you. It's just that a palace maid made a mistake and I took her to be punished."

"Oh." Yongle nodded and no longer cared.

At the same time, Dongchang Prison——

Cao Shun asked someone to prepare a bucket of clean water for bathing. A night of interrogation left him covered in the terrifying smell of blood. The prison cell in Dongchang was not much worse than the imperial prison of Jinyiwei.

"Mr. Factory, the palace maid was recruited. She was indeed ordered by someone else." The little eunuch with a toothless smile appeared behind Cao Shun like a ghost. It's a bit scary. This man is the second stall owner of Dongchang, his name is Wang Zheng, and he is Cao Shun's right-hand man.

Cao Shun asked someone to get a basin of water, then wiped his hands with a cloth over and over again, and asked without looking back, "What did you say?"

Wang Zhengdao: "The palace maid was selected into the palace three years ago. Although she was listed as an orphan on the roster, the villain found out that there were several people in her family who were being supported in the clouds. Those people promised her money to send her there. To seduce His Majesty, she herself wants to gain wealth."

"What a wishful thinking! But - Yunzhong? Could it be the Chen family?"

This idea was rejected by Cao Shun himself as soon as it came up: "It's impossible, Chen doesn't have that ability a long time ago."

With the family's background, it is not difficult to send someone into the palace, but if you want to send someone under the eyes of the emperor and empress, the power required is absolutely extraordinary.

Cao Shun said with some dissatisfaction: "Since you are a maid who goes to Fengqi Palace to serve, you should be very careful. How could you let such a person get in?"

Wang Zheng lowered his head and said: "The people behind the scenes have very deep plans. According to the confession of the palace maid, more than one person was sent into the palace at that time. Because everything was in compliance with the rules when these palace maids first entered the palace, they did not cause us any trouble." It wasn’t until Ren was assigned to Fengqi Palace that those people started to come into contact with her.”

"They have already reached into the palace. These people are really bold."

Cao Shun sighed softly: "Although it is said that fish cannot survive in clear water, but at a time like this, if you let His Majesty see this muddy water, I can't guarantee that His Majesty will not be angry."

"The villain knows," Wang Zheng knelt down with a plop and said solemnly: "Please give me three days - no, two days, and the villain will definitely dig out all these monsters."

Cao Shun glanced down at him: "I'll give you half a month, but you have to do it in a secretive way. I don't want people outside to know that even the imperial city of our three major factories is not in peace."

"I understand, you villain! Please don't worry, Mr. Factory!" Wang Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Go down."

After Wang Zheng was sent away, Cao Shun could not help but feel a little scared when he thought about it. If he really wanted to let the other party enter Fengqi Palace last night, he, as the admiral of the East Factory, would be doomed regardless of success or failure.

However, it is unclear whether this is a blessing or a curse. Miss Amber is the most powerful person behind the empress, and she is also extremely powerful in the harem of the imperial city. Sometimes, you can even see a hint of the emperor's tacit approval in her actions.

So when something went wrong this time, Miss Amber did not choose to notify Jinyiwei to investigate, but asked Dongchang to take over. The meaning of this had to make Cao Shun think deeply.

Although I am not arrogant enough to think that Jin Yiwei has lost his Sacred Heart because of the eldest daughter from the Chen family, but choosing Dongchang instead of Jinyiwei this time is also a recognition of the value of their Dongchang.

The emperor has many tools, but few are handy. It is too difficult for Jinyiwei and Dongchang to coexist peacefully. In the future, the east wind will inevitably prevail over the west wind. Cao Shun understands that Ying Wushang would definitely not be able to do it if he had the chance. The meeting showed Fang Dongchang to be merciful. The purge six years ago had already explained everything.

Therefore, Cao Shun knew very well that even if there was an emperor around, he would not dare to add insult to injury, but if Jinyiwei himself had no future and let others take the credit, he could not blame others.

Cao Shun silently came to the desk and took two Dongchang tokens: "Here comes someone."

"Factory Master." The two young eunuchs outside the door immediately came in and knelt down to listen to orders.

Cao Shun threw down two tokens and said: "You guys go on a trip, one to the Kunlun sect and the other to the Huashan sect. The governor wants them to help find Chen Yin, the eldest lady of the Chen family in Yunzhong. If they succeed, there will be benefits." They are indispensable.”

Jianghu people have their own way of using it, especially for this kind of thing. Even if you get nothing, it is good to feel sick for a while.

As for directly using Dongchang's manpower, Cao Shun has not considered it. After all, that would be too obvious. Now is not the time to break up with Jin Yiwei.
