Harem strategy

105 Threat
Zhang Wenpin wanted to live in the Changchun Palace the most. She only gave birth to one princess and needed a prince, but since she gave birth to the third princess, the emperor has been very indifferent to her.

However, Zhang Wenbin was not favored in the past, mainly because she was lucky, and she became pregnant after a few times of sleeping with her.

But in the end the princess was born.Zhang Wenbin was so disappointed.

Thinking that Concubine Shu is favored, there is no one else in Changchun Palace now, and Concubine Shu is still pregnant, if she lives in Changchun Palace, she will definitely have the opportunity to serve the emperor, even for the sake of the third princess, the emperor will also If you visit yourself, isn't it a matter of time before you become pregnant?
Who knew that the empress refused immediately, without any room for negotiation.

Zhang Wenbin lacked confidence and dared not say anything else, so he could only choose Fangling Hall to move there.

That's right, it's Fangling Hall, the place where Li Jialuo first lived. Zhang Wenpin chose to live in the place where Concubine Shu lived.

Empress Zhao didn't care about her either, she lived as long as she wanted.As long as you can't afford a moth, you will be fine.

Queen Zhao arrested all the people in Jinghe Palace.

In this Jinghe Palace, apart from the dead Zheng Jieyu and Zhang Wenpin who moved away, there are also two newly selected beauties living here.

Now that something happened to Jing He Gong, these two beauties are trembling.

They felt that they were so unlucky, that something so unlucky happened before they went to bed after being elected to the palace.It turned out to be dead!

He was locked in this room and couldn't get out, and was interrogated.

Empress Zhao asked people to interrogate her one by one. When she returned to Kunning Palace, Chunying pressed her forehead, which made her feel more comfortable.

There are troubles in the palace every day, the key is to see how to deal with them.

"Your Majesty, you moved Zhang Wenpin out, in case she is the murderer, wouldn't you?"

"You mean, she secretly killed Zheng Jieyu in order to move to Changchun Palace?" Queen Zhao asked.

"It's not impossible." The women in the palace, for their own future, what can't they do?
Empress Zhao shook her head, "I don't think it's her. If she were, she would never say that she was going to move to Changchun Palace. Wouldn't that make others suspect her like you?"

"What if she said that on purpose just because she thought everyone would think of her that way?" Chunying said.

"She's not that smart!" Queen Zhao said, "Search carefully in Zheng Jieyu's house, as well as the people who serve her, including their family members."

Zheng Jieyu is said to have been detained, who else would kill her?
If it was said that she abused the palace servants as before, maybe the palace servants would resist, but since she was neglected by the emperor, the palace servants around her were not afraid of her anymore, even if she wanted to abuse others, there was no such condition.

Could it be that Zheng Jieyu saw something she shouldn't have seen, so she was killed?
So where did the poison come from?Wouldn't it be associated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs again? Now the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the emperor's confidantes. If they really have something to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?
Empress Zhao was startled when she thought of this, she can't do it, she has to talk to the emperor about this matter quickly, so as not to spoil things.

"Go and inquire, inquire, where is the emperor now, except in Changchun Palace, other places, just say that the palace has something to ask the emperor to come over."

Ever since Master Wu suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, Empress Zhao felt more at ease with Concubine Shu.For more than three years, Concubine Shu's performance was also one of the reasons why Queen Zhao was relieved.

Since she has to choose one in the future, then she should choose a good one, which can not only benefit herself, but also make the emperor like it. Besides, Concubine Shu's natal family has no support, and she is not afraid of being teased by the Wu family in the future.

So Empress Zhao is very proud of Concubine Shu.

"Report to Empress Dowager, the emperor is in Changchun Palace."

"Change clothes for me, I want to see the emperor."

Li Jialuo's hands were a little sore, and the emperor was in a good mood, so he rubbed Li Jialuo's hands himself, enjoying it, and reported outside that the queen had arrived.

Li Jialuo hurriedly withdrew his hand, and stood up. The queen came, and she wanted to salute.

The third prince is sleeping soundly in the inner room, children should not disturb him.

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress." Empress Zhao hurriedly supported Concubine Shu, "You are a month old, so you don't need to salute in the future."

"Your Majesty, the concubine has something to discuss with the Emperor. It is Zheng Jieyu's business." Queen Zhao said.

Li Jialuo hurriedly said: "The concubine goes in to see Luo Er." Li Jialuo took the initiative to avoid it.

Empress Zhao said: "Concubine Shu doesn't have to leave, I also want to hear your thoughts. It's true that this palace is one person's plan, and it's good for multiple people to discuss. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Empress Zhao doesn't mind making a deal with Concubine Shu.

The emperor smiled and said: "Concubine Shu doesn't have to leave. The queen asked you to discuss it because she trusts you."

Empress Zhao thought in her heart, she made the right bet.She doesn't mind letting the emperor know that she and Concubine Shu have no conflict of interest, and the two can coexist.

Li Jialuo didn't leave. Of course, she knew the news about Zheng Jieyu, and it didn't matter if she listened to it.

After Queen Zhao sat down, she said to the emperor: "The concubine asked people to interrogate the servants around Zheng Jieyu, and they all said that Zheng Jieyu went to bed very early last night. Turned off the light and went to sleep, who knew that this morning I came together, saw that Zheng Jieyu hadn't woken up for a long time, so I went to see it, only to see Zheng Jieyu died on my bed.

The imperial doctor found out that he was poisoned to death, but the concubine asked people to search carefully, but they didn't find out where the poison was poisoned.The dinner in the evening was brought back from the imperial dining room. Because Zheng Jieyu's maids were afraid, they also confessed that they ate some by themselves before delivering the meal to Zheng Jieyu. "A concubine who has fallen out of favor will naturally have her meals skipped.

"So the concubine feels that there is nothing wrong with the food. Your majesty, the concubine is worried that if the investigation continues, it will lead to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs belongs to the emperor, so if something happened, it really gave the emperor a slap in the face.

Queen Zhao's hint was obvious enough, Li Jialuo glanced at Queen Zhao, and Queen Zhao's expression was normal.

Whether it was the fault of the Wang family depends on what the emperor thinks.

After all, the Wang family used to be in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and the emperor replaced the Wang family because the House of Internal Affairs kept making mistakes.

But now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made a mistake, so it means that your majesty is wrong.There should be no substitutions, because whoever is changed will make mistakes, and it is not the Wang family's fault at all.

Li Jialuo felt that Queen Zhao was also a very powerful person, so he put eye drops on the Wang family so calmly.

And in front of Li Jialuo, she wanted to tell herself that she and the Wang family were also at odds.

Although everyone knows this fact, it is the first time that such a clear hint has been given to Li Jialuo.

Li Jialuo said: "The concubine feels that it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs has changed people, the things that the concubine gets every time are much better than before. Moreover, it is said that the new official takes office three times. , At this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is even more strict. How could it be possible to make such a mistake? Even if it was a mistake, it was also framed by others. Your Majesty, the concubine felt that it would be more appropriate to investigate Zheng Jieyu's death from the palace. Instead of pursuing this Where did the poison come from? After all, poison can't kill people by itself, someone killed Zheng Jieyu with poison."

Li Jialuo's words completely ignore the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is usually very effective in doing things.

Empress Zhao nodded after listening, "What Concubine Shu said is that it really has nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I am afraid that someone with a heart will be involved in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." So you have to take precautions, Your Majesty.

The emperor said: "What the empress and concubine Shu said is reasonable. The empress should investigate this matter as soon as possible to find the culprit, so that the harem can be calmed down."

The queen's goal has been achieved, so she will leave soon.

People die in the palace every year. Only when a very important person dies will they get to the bottom of it. For other things, if you want to find out, then there is no need for that.

Zheng Jieyu's death can be said to be due to the fact that some palace people held grudges and poisoned Zheng Jieyu to death in order to avenge their former sisters.

It is not impossible to find a scapegoat.It's just that if the real culprit can be found, Queen Zhao will not be unwilling.

If something happened to the emperor's heir, the emperor would definitely find out the person strictly, but Zheng Jieyu had already fallen out of favor, and her death did not cause much trouble.

"Auntie, leave me alone in the future, this is my fate." Yulan said with red eyes.

Aunt Xia said: "Yulan, you will be able to leave the palace and return to your hometown in one year, Auntie will definitely help you!"

It was Aunt Xia and Yulan from Chunfang Palace who spoke.

In Aunt Xia's heart, Yulan was just like her daughter, who had the hope of leaving the palace, but something happened unexpectedly, and Yulan was actually taken by that Eunuch Min, who wanted Yulan to be given to him. When the food.

Min Gonggong Min Huai'an is a sinister and treacherous person, and now he is still following Wang Chongyi, how can people like them win a fight?
Min Huai'an met Yulan by accident, and became interested in Yulan, but being a eunuch's opponent, what is the way out in his life?Aunt Xia didn't want Yulan's life to be ruined.

"Auntie, don't go, it's useless, and you're involved. Eunuch Min said, he's not afraid of anything, and if I don't agree, he'll let me agree." Yulan had already made up her mind to die. , because Yulan knew that being Min Huai'an's opponent would be endless torture in the future.She knew that Min Huai'an had a romantic relationship several years ago, but after being with Min Huai'an, she was tortured to death in just a few months, and she only said that she died of illness, so who can say anything?
The lives of these maids are worthless, and no one will work hard to find out why a maid died.

"No, Yulan, Auntie is not afraid. Min Huai'an has something in Auntie's hands. Only when Auntie negotiates with him will he let go."

Aunt Xia said: "After tomorrow, no matter what happens, don't worry about it, and live the rest of the year well. After leaving the palace, live a good life. If someone asks you, you can say I don't know, do you understand?"

"Aunt, what are you going to do?" Yulan worriedly held Aunt Xia's hand.

"I just want you to live a good life. I won't be able to leave the palace in my life, but I hope you can fulfill this wish for me."

"If you still think of me as an aunt, don't ask me anything. Otherwise, I'll pretend I never knew you!" Aunt Xia said sternly.

In the evening, Aunt Xia changed into clean clothes and went to a remote place in Yueyue Palace by herself.

Inviting Moon Palace is a cold palace, and no one found out when meeting people in this place.

Min Huai'an's voice sounded from behind, "Rulanna, I haven't seen you in a few years, why do you have time to come over to this cold palace?"

Aunt Xia turned her head and said to Min Huai'an, "Eunuch Min, please let Yulan go."

"Yulan? You're talking about that little girl, right? I'm doing it for her own good, living with me, who would dare to underestimate her?" Min Huai'an said, "I can't if you just say a word, our family will let her go. "

"Min Huaian, you can find someone else, but Yulan can't."

"What qualifications do you have to ask me? Huh?" Eunuch Min sneered and said, "Our family has no friendship with you."

After hearing this, Aunt Xia looked straight at Min Huai'an, "You killed Zheng Jieyu, right?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Min Huai'an immediately grabbed Aunt Xia's neck, "Say, who told you?"

He thought he did it seamlessly, but he didn't expect anyone to know?
"Don't worry about how I know, as long as you let Yulan go, I promise, you won't tell the truth about it."

Min Huai'an smiled and said: "No one will believe you if you say it. Everything needs evidence. If you say that our family killed it, then our family will kill it. Then our family will still say that you killed it. Who do you say everyone will listen to?" ?”

"Really? But if others know about your relationship with the former Concubine Rou, let's see if everyone believes in you or me!" Aunt Xia was not afraid even if she was strangled by someone.

"Although you strangled me to death, since I dared to invite you today, I made full preparations. As soon as I die tomorrow, someone will tell you about you and Concubine Rou. At that time, you will also come down to accompany me." Mine." Aunt Xia said.

Min Huai'an let go of Aunt Xia's neck, and said, "Well, it's just a little maid, so our family doesn't want it anymore, but if you dare to reveal a word, our family can let you know what life is better than death!"

"What do you mean life is better than death?" Wang Yulu's voice suddenly sounded, Min Huai'an and Aunt Xia were startled, they didn't expect that there was someone listening here.

"Eunuch Min, why did I hear people say that Zheng Jieyu's death had something to do with you? What was your relationship with Zheng Jieyu before? Aunt Xia, why are you so late with my father-in-law? Together?" Wang Yulu asked with a faint smile.

When Wang Yulu said this, it meant that after hearing the conversation between the two, Min Huai'an realized that he had been stared at by Wang Chongyi at some point, and now he was directly caught.

Now the handle in his hand is completely useless.Because Wang Chongyi has her own handle in her hands.This Wang Chongyi is really patient. He thinks that he has done enough to not reveal anything. Who knows that he was caught today because he underestimated the enemy. In the future, Wang Chongyi will have scruples and dare not do anything to him, but now he That's not the case.

Wang Chongyi must have been prepared to come here alone. In addition, only one Zheng Jieyu died in the palace. If another Chongyi died, it would be a serious matter. Min Huai'an gave up the idea of ​​killing and silence, and said to Wang Chongyi: "Your Majesty, our family has forgotten what happened in the past. I hope your Majesty will not blame you."

Wang Yulu said: "I'm afraid that you, Eunuch Min, will come out and say something inappropriate to me, but now I can rest assured, I know that Eunuch Min and Zheng Jieyu have an unusual relationship. Eunuch Min, what is your relationship with Zheng Jieyu? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"Aunt Xia, if he doesn't say anything, just say, I can handle what you asked for now, what do you think? I can let you and Yulan go out of the palace together."

"Your Majesty, the slaves are not willing to leave the palace, and Yulan doesn't know anything about today." Aunt Xia said.

"Don't worry, I have clear grievances and grievances, and I will never implicate the innocent. I have no choice but to be threatened, so I have no choice but to do it. Let's do it, Aunt Xia, how about you come to this palace as an errand?"

Aunt Xia said: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but the slaves are used to staying in Chunfang Palace."
