Diary of the Prince Regent's Favorite Wife

Chapter 98 The Evidence Delivered to Your Door
General Shen looked at the kneeling person in front of him with a gloomy expression: "You said how many thousand taels of silver did Jiang's uncle go to the casino to gamble these days?"

The Jiang family wanted to support such a big family, how could Uncle Jiang have so much money to gamble?

The little guard nodded affirmatively: "This subordinate just watched Uncle Jiang walk in, and even asked a few beautiful maidservants to accompany him during the gambling, which is very chic."

These words immediately made General Shen look thoughtful. These days, in order to investigate the case, he has been carefully monitoring everyone sent by the third prince. After this investigation, he found that Uncle Jiang has been spending money very extravagantly recently, and he is no longer what he used to be. simple.

But these days, Uncle Jiang's only change came from his daughter. Could it be that there is so much more money after having one more daughter as a side concubine?

"Go and check the latest movements of the third prince's side concubine."

The little guard had already expected what his master would say, and immediately explained everything he had found respectfully: "The side concubine frequently enters and leaves Jiang's mansion, and she always deceives others."

Others didn't know that Jiang Caixue wanted the Jiang family to help her find a doctor, and General Shen immediately thought of Jiang Caixue giving money to the Jiang family when such behavior fell into the eyes of General Shen.

"Hmph, since there is evidence of delivery, don't blame me for not using it."

General Shen searched in the direction of Empress Fu, and it was almost certain that he was the third prince. The problem was that he hadn't found the embezzled money himself.As long as this matter is not clarified, there is no way to close the case. Now that Uncle Jiang has revealed his flaws, no matter whether the money is sent to Jiang's house or not, he can write a memorial.

He breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, it was the third prince who was indiscreet, so don't blame him for being ruthless, at worst, he should be more tactful when speaking.

"Report to the general, Madam was almost tied up when she went out. Fortunately, our people are smart." A guard hurried over. Now everyone in the capital is walking carefully. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

General Shen stood up in astonishment, and turned around a few times worriedly: "What's wrong with Madam? How could such a thing happen?"

"This subordinate only found this from one kidnapper." The guard tremblingly handed over a token engraved with the third prince.

General Shen sneered.

Thinking of the third prince's graciously looking for him to give him a gift and wanting to be merciful, he turned around and threatened him directly when he saw that bribery was not enough.

Bah, a dignified prince would be ashamed to do something to women and children. If he hadn't cared about the identity of the other party, he would really want to give him a kick now.

"Come here, I want to enter the palace to face the saint." General Shen Da has been marching and fighting for many years, he is really not afraid of a prince so afraid to speak, he is going to vent his anger today, not everyone in their Shen family can threaten a handful.

No one knew what General Shen had said to His Majesty, only that His Majesty was furious and immediately went to court.

This move shocked the court.

Concubine De was the most terrified. She really couldn't figure it out. She had planned so well, but why did emergencies always occur, especially on the Jiang family's side? Why was extravagance involved?

At this moment, she was walking up and down the palace anxiously, constantly praying that the emperor would miss her old love.

"Why don't you explain to me what happened?" Concubine De saw her years of painstaking efforts ruined in one go, so she couldn't remember her identity, and kicked Jiang Caixue in the heart.

Jiang Caixue really wanted to cry, she didn't have a good rest these days, but she was called into the palace early in the morning, and what she faced was the accusation of Concubine De.

"The concubine really doesn't know, my father must have been provoked by the villain, the concubine—"

"Shut up, Ben Gong!" Concubine De became impatient, kicking her foot was still not enough to relieve her anger, so she simply slapped Jiang Caixue again.

Even though she had suffered bad luck for eight lifetimes, there was such a slow-moving daughter-in-law who caused trouble every day.

"Concubine De, the emperor has a decree, please go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Eunuch Ming still had that happy look, his posture was very low, and it was impossible to see the emperor's attitude at all.

Concubine De couldn't care about Jiang Caixue immediately, she covered her lips and smiled, kindly took off a pair of emerald bracelets on her wrists, and stuffed them into Eunuch Ming's hands without leaving any trace, "What did your majesty say?"

Eunuch Ming bent even lower, and pushed out the bracelet with his backhand, "The slave is just a messenger, the empress has broken the slave."

Concubine De's face froze, she was very annoyed, even a eunuch who sent a message dared to treat her like this, she was really a follower.

"I'll hurry over here." Concubine De could only wink at her maidservant from the corner of her eye, then straightened her appearance and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

On the way, Concubine De thought that the most serious thing was that the emperor scolded her once, and then removed her official position in her mother's house. She didn't expect that an inkstone flew towards her as soon as she entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine De was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, the inkstone brushed against her shoulder and hit the ground with a bang.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged, it was all those villains who instigated it, and the concubine didn't know that what they paid was military pay!" Concubine De knelt on the ground and crawled over step by step.

Nangongchen clenched his fists under his cuffs, he couldn't bear to see his concubine so humble, but now he had no room to speak.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor sullenly looked at Concubine De as if he was looking at a dead person.

Having been with the emperor for many years, how could Concubine De not know what the emperor's expression represented? The panic in her heart continued to magnify, and her tone was no longer as showy as before, but genuine fear.

"I hate the harem meddling in politics the most, you are an old man, don't you know?" The emperor didn't even look at Concubine De, just sat on the chair and listened to the sound of the palace man packing his pen and ink.

The room was quiet, and a wisp of incense rose slowly, appearing presumptuous and out of place in this oppressive atmosphere.

Cold sweat oozes from Concubine De's forehead. If it hadn't been for His Majesty's doting on her for many years and intentionally or unintentionally revealing that Chen'er is quite talented and learned, she wouldn't have a growing appetite for being raised.But it was too late to say anything now, after all, he was the one who took this risky move because Chen'er could directly replace the eldest prince and become the most powerful voice in the military department.

"Empress Concubine De, now that things have come to an end, why don't you explain where all the embezzled money has gone?" Eunuch Su saw the emperor's expression of not wanting to speak again, and took a step forward to bow to Concubine De.

Hearing this, Concubine De's hands trembled even more, she panicked and wanted to find a trace of tenderness on the emperor's face: "Your Majesty, the concubine is confused, the concubine just wants to imitate the late emperor's concubine Hu Gui, who knows—"

"Really?" The emperor suddenly cast his eyes on Concubine De's face.

This glance contained deep disappointment and awe, and Concubine De's face turned pale with fright, and she completely lost the idea of ​​sophistry.
