The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 231 Discovering Leng Yuan's Abnormality
Seeing what Ding Guiren said, Yan Cainu breathed a sigh of relief, and said boldly: "I just find it strange that Princess Yaohuang said in the morning that she would go to the imperial study to deliver books to the emperor. I didn't think much about it at first when I heard it. After the Huayan Palace, I realized that Princess Yao Huang's words were not reasonable. At that time, after we left the Xici Ning Palace, I saw her coming from a distance. If I remember correctly, the palace road There is no access to the Imperial Study Room, but Princess Yaohuang definitely has no need to lie to us, so I am afraid that I am thinking too much."

Ding Guiren was overjoyed when he heard the words, he was worried that he couldn't tell Yan Cainu about the matter without anyone noticing, but she didn't expect that she also found out that something was wrong, so she saved a lot of effort.Ding Guiren was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He only frowned and said: "Actually, my sister's suspicion is correct. I had dinner with Concubine Liang at noon. Concubine Liang had no intention of mentioning that Princess Yaohuang gave a top-grade purple ganoderma lucidum Dou Concubine Liang was very envious of it for her body. I heard it and casually asked Princess Yao Huang if the maid accompanied by her had any books in her hand. Do Concubine Liang told me that Princess Yao Huang only brought purple ganoderma. Nothing else."

When Yancai heard the words, she covered her mouth with her hands in shock, and it took her a while to say: "Princess Yaohuang really lied to us, but why did she do this? With her identity, she is not seen anywhere in the palace." Being able to walk freely, she has absolutely no need to lie."

Upon hearing this, Ding Guiren sighed helplessly and said, "Perhaps she didn't want us to know something, so she just found an excuse to perfuse us in a panic."

After listening to Ding Guiren's words, Yancai Nu showed a look of understanding, said no more, just quietly picked up the rose cake and ate it.

Having achieved her goal, Ding Guiren didn't say much anymore, because she clearly understood that if she revealed too much information, Yancai would become vigilant. is the most natural.

Yancai sat in Ding Guiren's palace for nearly an hour before getting up and leaving. The two chatted about makeup and clothing, which were all about the daughter's affairs.

Concubine Liang arranged for her confidant guards to visit Lenggong at night, but what the guards brought back was that there was nothing abnormal in Lenggong. Concubine Liang couldn't help but fall into doubts. With one step, as early as the morning, he had already destroyed the evidence that might have been stored in the cold palace.

Because it was inconvenient to do things during the day, Concubine Liang did not give up, so she had to order the guards to visit the cold palace at night. The guards returned without success for three consecutive days, until the guards returned on the fourth night, and mentioned another matter Things: "Ms. Taifei, there is still nothing abnormal in the Leng Palace, but the Leng Garden is a bit strange. Not only are there people living in it, there are also two strong and strong nuns guarding the gate of the Leng Garden."

Concubine Liang heard the words, and keenly grasped the message in the words of the guards: "You said that not only people live in Lengyuan, but there are also people guarding the gate of Lengyuan?"

"Yes, the servant went earlier today, that's why I discovered the abnormality of Lengyuan. When the two nuns guard the gate, they will lock the gate of Lengyuan and leave." The guard gave a definite answer again.

"Okay, Ai's family understands. Tomorrow, you can find another opportunity to go to Lengyuan to find out who is imprisoned inside." After regaining her senses, Concubine Liang quickly gave a new order.

"Your servant obeys." The guard took the order to leave.Concubine Liang went back to bed to rest. For the past few days, because of the affairs in the cold palace, she went to bed almost every night after midnight.

The next day, Concubine Liang got up early, went to the Concubine Gui after breakfast, all the concubines greeted An and left, Concubine Liang waited for Concubine Liang to finish explaining the affairs of each palace to the stewards, and then said: : "My sister is really hard. There are many things in the harem. This burden is really heavy."

The noble concubine smiled when she heard the words, and said indifferently: "The expenditure of the harem is more than twice that of when the first emperor was here, and the Ai family does not feel that the burden is heavy. Although the emperor does not have many concubines, the harem is much colder, but people If it is less, there will be less right and wrong, in the past three days there were palace maids who violated the palace rules, but now there is no such thing."

The so-called speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Concubine Liang originally wanted to ask Concubine Gui whether there were any maids who committed crimes and were imprisoned in Lengyuan recently, but the news was automatically sent to her before she opened her mouth, so she Then he said with a smile: "At the beginning of the year, the emperor reduced the number of people in the palace and let a group of maids and servants out of the palace. There are fewer people and better management. Naturally, no one dares to break the palace rules."

"That's not bad." The Concubine Gui nodded in agreement. At this moment, a maid entered the hall with two stew pots, and put one of them on the table next to the Concubine Gui, and placed the other on Mrs. Liang. On the table next to the concubine.

"This is stewed black-bone chicken with purple ganoderma. Ai's family prepared it for her sisters. This is for my sister. I planned to send it to my sister's palace, but my sister is here, so let's drink it while it's hot!" The noble concubine smiled and explained softly.

Concubine Liang was a little moved when she heard the words: "Sister, Princess Yaohuang gave you this purple ganoderma to nourish your body. If you share it with our sisters, you won't be able to take it a few times."

The noble concubine heard the words, she stopped and said: "This purple ganoderma is a good thing, it is very good for health, how can I enjoy it to myself, besides, such a big purple ganoderma is enough to last for a while, and the imperial doctor also told me, purple ganoderma Ganoderma lucidum and black-bone chicken are stewed together, and you can drink it once in a while. Take a thin slice of purple ganoderma to make tea on weekdays, and it will have an excellent effect on health. I have ordered the imperial doctor to slice the purple ganoderma. Later, each sister will send a pack, and you can also save it to make tea!"

Concubine Liang was even more moved when she heard the words. She had been with Concubine Gui for many years, and she knew that Concubine Gui had no reason to go back on her decision, so she did not persuade Concubine Gui anymore.

Concubine Liang used up the purple ganoderma lucidum and black-bone chicken soup at the imperial concubine's place, then she got up and went back to her bedroom. She just left, and Li Sister-in-law came out from the inner hall, and she glanced at the stewing pot that she hadn't had time to take away , sighed and said: "The noble concubine is really selfless. If there is any good thing, she will never enjoy it to herself, and will always share it with other concubines. No wonder the late emperor respects you."

When the noble concubine heard the words, she smiled and said indifferently: "We served the late emperor together. How I treated them before is still the same now. It's just that some people are afraid that their hearts are too greedy and they are not satisfied with the status quo."

Li Meiying heard the words, looked at the sky outside the door, sighed and said: "Not everyone has the mind of a noble concubine, maybe this is fate!"
