The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 233 Rumors Spread
Forced to calm down, Ding Guiren patted Yan Cainu's hand, and softly comforted: "Sister, don't be afraid, my aunt is still investigating this matter, let's wait for the news from my aunt, if it was really done by Sister Li, Aunt will definitely not sit idly by."

When Yancai heard this, the fear in her eyes became less frightened: "Yes, Concubine Liang is in charge of everything, whether or not Princess Yaohuang will continue to be lawless."

Ding Guiren nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, everything is decided by the Concubine Gui and the aunt, and Li Sister-in-law will not be proud for a few days."

At night, after Yancai girl dressed up carefully, she waited quietly for Wei Jinyang's arrival. Although Wei Jinyang didn't touch her, she still dressed herself up night after night. She couldn't let her beautiful years be wasted in this palace. She must work hard to let Wei Jinyang see her goodness and beauty.

Xu Shi had just arrived, but Wei Jinyang was still missing. Yancai couldn't help being a little anxious, and was about to send someone to the imperial study to inquire, but An Fu came. He saluted Yancai, and said respectfully: "Yancai , Your Majesty is resting in the imperial study today, you should rest earlier too!"

A look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and Yancai gestured for the maid to offer a reward, but she forced a smile on her face and said, "Thank you Mrs. An, please take the money to Mrs. An for tea."

An Fu took over the bank bank with peace of mind: "Thank you Yancai for the reward, this servant will leave." After he finished speaking, he left the Huayan Palace and went back to the imperial study.

As soon as Anfu left, Ding Guiren sent someone to invite Yan Cainu to her bedroom. Yancai guessed that there might be new news from Ding Guiren, so she didn't dare to delay, so she ordered the maids to hold the lamps, and she supported the female official's hand , walked quickly to the Xuemei Palace where Ding Guiren lived.

In Xuemei Hall, Ding Guiren was walking back and forth anxiously in the hall. She didn't stop until the servant's voice was heard from outside the hall. : "Good sister, you've come, let's go into the hall to talk."

Seeing Ding Guiren's anxious expression, Yancai girl asked in a soft voice while following Ding Guiren into the main hall of Xuemei Palace: "Sister, what happened? You called me to Xuemei Palace in such a hurry."

Ding Guiren pulled Yan Cainu to sit down, and then replied softly: "Just now my aunt sent someone to pass on the message. The matter of Leng Yuan has been found out. It was planned by Li Sister-in-law. The emperor has no feelings for Queen Yang. Li Sister He naturally believed what 姎 said without even half a doubt. And Li Sister 姎 holds the Golden Phoenix Token in her hand and can walk freely in the harem. The palace people in the middle palace must have taken refuge in her when they saw her gaining power, otherwise how could those people It’s all about Empress Yang’s funeral, they all died in an accident! I’m afraid Li Sister-in-law murdered her, after all, only the dead are the tightest mouths.”

After hearing Ding Guiren's words, Yan Cainu said in shock: "Sister, what should we do now, should we report the matter to the emperor?"

Guiren Ding shook his head and said: "When I first heard the news, I thought the same as you did, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Sister-in-law is too cunning, and the emperor likes her, so my heart is naturally towards her, so we have to show some strength It will be convincing, if the emperor can see with his own eyes Li Sister-in-law abuse the eldest princess and Empress Yang in Lengyuan, that would be even better."

After listening to Ding Guiren's words, Yan Cainu was silent for a moment, then she approached Ding Guiren mysteriously and said: "Sister, why don't we do this..."

Yancai stayed in the Xuemei Palace for an hour before leaving, the female officials and maids were sent outside the palace, and the two spoke very quietly, no one knew what they were secretly talking about.

The weather in April has gradually warmed up, and some rumors suddenly started in the calm capital. Li Sister-in-law stayed in her princess mansion all day and rarely went out of the mansion. She didn't know that the weather in Xindu had changed.

In the early morning of this day, a minister sent by Prince Ming stepped out of the queue after receiving a hint from Prince Ming. He walked to the center of the hall and said to Wei Jinyang: "Your Majesty, there have been some rumors in the streets and alleys of central Beijing recently. It's about the deceased Princess Dachang and Empress Yang. There are rumors among the people that the one in the imperial mausoleum is not the real Empress Yang, and the one in the Yang family's cemetery is not the real Dachang Princess, they are all fake, the real Dachang The princess and Empress Yang were still alive, so they were imprisoned in the cold garden of the harem and suffered inhuman abuse."

The words of the ministers were the questions in the hearts of the ministers. Wei Jinyang on the dragon seat condensed his eyes, but said calmly: "How do the people outside the palace know about the things in the palace? It has a nose and an eye. At the time when the Queen’s funeral was arranged, the Dowager Dowager arranged it all, and Princess Jingxian assisted. Could it be that Aiqing meant that the Dowager Dowager and Princess Jingxian were not careful in handling the funeral, and that they didn’t even see the queen’s remains clearly? "

As soon as Wei Jinyang said this, King Jingxian, who stood at the head of all the officials, stood out of line angrily and said: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine and this king's concubine are famous for being impartial and impartial in the royal family. If there is any doubt , the noble concubine and the princess will not hide anything, and they don't know who it is, fearing that the world will not be chaotic, and dare to spread rumors among the people to slander the royal family's reputation."

King Jingxian's words had a very obvious deep meaning, that minister was sent by Prince Ming, and he stood up to say such words, presumably the source of the rumors had something to do with Prince Ming.

"King Jingxian is right. After the empress died of illness, she had to tidy up her appearance before she could be put into the coffin. When the maids were grooming the late empress, the noble concubine and Princess Jingxian were guarding the central palace. The Concubine Gui and Concubine Jingxian could be mistaken, it is obvious that the rumors raised by the people are malicious intentions to disturb the peace in Beijing, all lovers should not blindly believe it." Wei Jinyang's handsome eyes seem to be Unexpectedly, Prince Ming swept across, and then his majestic voice sounded.

First, King Jingxian stood up and reprimanded, and then Wei Jinyang knocked on him. The ministers who originally had all kinds of doubts in their hearts did not dare to speak nonsense easily.

Prince Ming couldn't see any strangeness on his face, but in his heart he was angry that King Jingxian was meddlesome and disturbed his plan.King Jingxian held a pivotal position in the royal family. When Emperor Cheng was alive, he still showed a little face, and the ministers naturally did not dare to refute his words.

This is also the reason why Wei Jinyang asked Concubine Jingxian to assist Concubine Gui in the funeral. With such a heavyweight witness, it is not so easy for others to stir up a storm in Beijing.

Looking at the silent ministers, a deep smile flashed in Wei Jinyang's eyes. At this moment, an internal servant rushed in regardless of the guard's obstruction. He was the imperial concubine Xicining Palace. The eunuch in charge was very powerful by the concubine's side, the guards only dared to stop him, but they didn't dare to be violent, so he let this eunuch Liu rush into the political hall: "Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened in the harem."
