Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 32
"According to grandma's original book, I have already copied it. You can take it to Zichen Palace later!" He handed the letter to her, and she opened it and read it.

"Who do you plan to send to Ruoxi's side to carry out the mission?" she asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, do you have the right person on hand?" He glanced at her.

"There are quite a few people who can work, but none of them can take on the heavy responsibility of leadership!" She closed the letter and stuffed it into her sleeve, "You know that Yang Yichen and the others are also watching my house!"

He let out a long sigh, and said, "Grandma said there are some people on Zhao Mo's side, but it's better to leave this matter to our own people!"

An Tai nodded, and replied: "Let Zhao Mo send someone over first, the leader, and then slowly find him!"

"That's all there is to it!" he said.

As if she suddenly remembered something, she said, "People around you should be more careful!"

He glanced at her, and she said again: "Lan Zhen's matter, judging from the current situation, the problem is likely to be yours! I will find a way to find out the informer, so that there will be no further accidents!"

He smiled helplessly, and said: "Now here in Qianqing Palace, except for Zhang De, no one knows who sent it."

She sighed: "Those people can't be cleared away in a short while, it will take a long time!"

As she spoke, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, we will find a way! Be careful yourself!"

He nodded and said, "I know, you too!"

She pondered for a moment, and said: "The civil strife caused by Anguo's crown prince dispute has now spread to our border. Just now after you left, the old thief said in the court that taxes will be raised again, saying that it is to strengthen the defense of the border. But I'm afraid that if this continues, the common people will rebel!"

He remained silent, and she continued: "All the orders were issued in your name, and the people in the world don't know the truth! If the world is in chaos, their Yang family will have a chance to rise up!"

I saw him leaning against the back of the chair and closing his eyes.

"Yang Yichen intends to change the dynasty. Seeing what that old thief means, he won't do anything for the time being!" She said, "For safety's sake, you should follow their wishes and stop doing that stupid thing! You know, outside I don’t know how many people are waiting for your will to conquer the Yang family and his son! But we are all under their noses, and if we are a little careless—"

"If you are not careful, you will be killed by them, I know!" He glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do!"

She took his hand and put her face on his shoulder.

Xinyi stood outside the door. Although she couldn't hear what Ming Xuanyu and An Tai were saying, she could see their movements and expressions through the crack of the door.

They must be very close!She thought so, and sighed unconsciously.

After Princess Antai left, Zhang De brought Heshun Princess Ming Ruoxi to Qianqing Palace.

Ming Xuanyu took his younger sister away from the palace, and went to the Yuhua Palace on the east side of the East Palace, Xinyi and others followed.

When leaving the palace, Hu Sheng secretly handed the list to her, and she put it in the sleeve.

Ming Xuanyu and Ruoxi were sitting in the front sedan chair, while Xinyi was in the fourth sedan chair.

She opened the list and carefully identified it. According to her memory, she found out the personnel who had not changed before and after the incident.

In addition to Zhang De, Huang Cheng and Hu Sheng, there were eight other people, a total of eleven people remained unchanged.

Zhang De has followed Ming Xuanyu for more than ten years, and he is a confidant, so it shouldn't be him who told him the secret!If he had a ghost, how could Ming Xuanyu not notice it?
And Hu Sheng is from Nian's father-in-law's side. What's their attitude towards Lan Zhen?

They sent themselves into the palace to win Ming Xuanyu's trust and then monitor him.

So, which ship are Nian Gonggong and the others on?Is it from the prime minister?Or someone you don't know?
There is also Huang Cheng, what is his background?
As for the other eight people, it was even more complicated.

Xinyi's mind keeps showing everyone's face, but only one face can't provide much information, and she needs further contact to find that person.

However, since the prime minister's hidden pile can confess Lan Zhen, they will naturally not let go of their goal.Xinyi thought.

That person is likely to come to her on her own initiative, because now she is one of the closest people to the emperor.

Xinyi closed the roster and carefully hid it in the interlayer of her clothes.

She thought about the Princess Antai she met just now, judging from her closeness to Ming Xuanyu, they might be together.

But, why do people say that Princess Antai is from the prime minister's side?Is it because she is the prime minister's stepdaughter?
Xinyi raised the curtains, looked at the houses lined up outside the window, and remembered the situation when she went to Beijing last year.

Did I ever think that I would go to the center of that struggle so quickly?

After a while, the sedan chair stopped, and she and Zhang De followed Ming Xuanyu.

It turned out that they had already entered the Yuhua Palace.

This Yuhua Palace is the mansion where Grandpa Ming Xuanyu lived before he became the throne, and its construction scale is second only to the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace.

However, the garden of Yuhua Palace "Hongyi Garden" is the most beautiful folk garden.

Since Grandpa Ming Xuanyu moved into the palace, the place has been vacant, but has undergone many expansions and constructions.

The first emperor succeeded to the throne as a crown prince, and he did not reward any of his brothers with the Yu Hua Palace after he succeeded to the throne.

This palace is the dream of many people, not only Ming Xuanyu's uncles, but also his two remaining younger brothers, including Princess Antai.

At the court today, as usual, Ming Xuanyu didn't say anything.When he was about to leave in the end, he said that he would give Yuhua Palace to Princess Heshun, and all the officials were in an uproar.

After speaking, he just looked at Prime Minister Yang Dezhang, Yang Dezhang thought for a moment, and then agreed to his proposal.

He knew that Yang Dezhang would agree, and Yang Dezhang would only agree if Yuhua Palace was given to Ruoxi, and Ming Xuanyu knew this very well.

Now, if he wanted to use Ruoxi to train people for himself, he had to give Ruoxi a big mansion.

From now on, Yu Hua Palace will become his territory, a place that is safer than the imperial palace.

He walked into Yu Hua Palace holding his sister's hand, and couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Seeing the emperor and the princess entering the Yin'an Hall, the main hall of Yuhua Palace, Zhang De pulled Xinyi out of the queue, Xinyi was puzzled, but followed and stood in the corridor.

Zhang De asked: "Did you offend the emperor, girl? Why did you come out like that last night?"

Xinyi didn't know how to answer, so she just lowered her head.

Zhang De sighed, and said: "The emperor treats you differently from others. Why don't you take advantage of your current fortune to accept Mu Sheng's favor? Do you really want to be a female official like Lan Zhen for the rest of your life? Our family sees you as a well-behaved child, so I kindly remind you looking at you!"

"Xinyi thank you sir! However, Xinyi only wants to serve the emperor properly!" She saluted.

Zhang De shook his head helplessly, and said: "The emperor has been married for more than two years, and there are countless concubines in the harem, so far they have nothing to do. You are close to the water, and you will add a little prince to the emperor as soon as possible. Wouldn't you turn over? Still need it Like now?"

Xinyi bowed her head and said nothing, but she was thinking in her heart, Zhang De mentioned this matter more than once, did he really care for me or did he have other deep meanings?
Zhang De said a few more words, and seeing that she didn't respond, he sighed and said, "Why is there someone like Lan Zhen!" After finishing speaking, he turned and entered the hall.

Xinyi stood there, not knowing what to think of Zhang De's words.

Thinking about the predicament last night, how did I do that kind of self-recommendation?

Alas, even if I don't want to, I'm afraid my father-in-law will give me that kind of order one day!

She thought so, looking at the few red plums in the yard, which were blooming in the wind at the moment.

In the evening, Ming Xuanyu was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion reading, and Xinyi was standing beside him with his hands down. He would glance at her occasionally, but he didn't know what she was thinking.

If it was Lan Zhen, she would talk to herself at this time and talk about her views on a certain issue.

However, the woman in front of her can't say anything.

He put down the book, looked at her thoughtful expression, recalled the scene when he first saw her in Chenhua Palace, remembered being beaten by her in Lan Zhen's room, and remembered the scene when she was with him on that snowy night.

To be honest, that night, I really hoped that someone would be by my side, but I was afraid of being accompanied by someone.

Xinyi was thinking about the conversation she had with Huang Cheng when she came back in the afternoon, and she couldn't rule out his suspicion.

It seems that if you want to find out the whistleblower, you can't do it by yourself.Eunuch Nian must be found, at least, depending on his attitude, at least Hu Sheng can be ruled out.

She has sent a message to Hu Sheng, hoping to arrange a meeting with Eunuch Nian. Just now, Hu Sheng said that Eunuch Nian will meet at Qinglan Palace when he is ugly tonight.

Now she only hopes that Ming Xuanyu can go to a concubine, so that she can sneak out.

However, it's already this time, so it seems that he has no intention of going out!

Glancing furtively at him, she wanted to make sure he didn't want to read anymore.

Unexpectedly, he was staring at himself. For a moment, both of them seemed puzzled.

She quickly lowered her head again, besides the two of them, there were a few maids on duty in the room, but it was so quiet that she could only hear her own heartbeat.

She clenched her fists subconsciously, but found that her palms were full of sweat.

Taking a deep breath in silence, she tried to calm herself down, but she seemed to hear his smile.

Is it my own illusion?She glanced at him again, and sure enough, he was reading and didn't look at her again.

Laughing at herself for being so sentimental, she started praying for him to leave soon.

After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to hear him coughing, and then saw that he was drinking tea.

"The water is cold, take it away!" He said, and a court lady hurried out with a cup.

Because she was thinking about meeting her father-in-law, Xinyi couldn't let go of it.

However, the more anxious she was, the more leisurely Ming Xuanyu seemed to be, as if she had no intention of leaving or resting at all.

Just when she was thinking wildly, she heard him say "Everyone back down", she was as excited as if she had been amnesty, and just saluted and was about to leave, but he said "You, stay".

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured all over her body, she stood there in disappointment, wondering what tricks he was planning to play again.

When there were only two people left in the room, his voice drifted into her ears, "You seem a little uneasy, are you thinking about your lover?"
