imperial concubine

Chapter 190
All the people in the palace held their breaths and focused their attention. Even the ignorant eunuch knew that the life of the fourth prince and concubine was hanging on these flimsy pieces of paper. Torn to shreds.

Huixue walked up to the queen, presented the note in her hand to the queen, and said slowly: "I would like to report to the empress, the letters brought from the Yiliang Palace are all written by the fourth concubine herself. , please have a look, Madam."

Just now Huixue took people to find Su Wan's handwriting in Yiliang Palace, but Zhuru led people to stop him. If Huixue hadn't moved out the queen's order, Zhuru might not have given these things to herself.

The queen looked at a few notes and nodded slightly. The handwriting on these notes was indeed exactly the same as the handwriting on the letter she had just seen.So the queen asked Hui Xue, "I asked you to send the eunuch, the leader of the Jinyu Pavilion, to come here to meet him. Have you ever sent him?"

Although I can see some points, but after all, my eyesight is a bit poor, so I can't be sure.And the chief eunuch of the Jinyu Pavilion is responsible for guarding the calligraphy, painting and porcelain in the palace. It is perfect for him to distinguish whether the letters and notes are written in the same kind of handwriting.

Hearing the Queen's question, Huixue said softly: "Returning to Your Majesty, I am afraid that Xu Jinshi, the chief eunuch of the Jinyu Pavilion, will rashly go to the palace to offend Your Majesty's Fengwei, so I let him wait outside the gate of the palace, waiting for your Majesty. summoned."

Although the collections in the Jinyu Pavilion are very popular with the nobles in the palace, the eunuchs in the Jinyu Pavilion never have the opportunity to meet the nobles.This was the first time, Hui Xue was afraid that Xu Jinshi would offend the queen because he didn't understand etiquette, so he asked them to wait outside.

Handing the note back to Huixue, the queen took a deep breath and said to Huixue: "Since he has come, let him go to the palace quickly. If you are afraid of offending all nobles, I forgive him for not guilty."

At this moment, the empress is not the only one in the palace, whether it is Concubine Shu or Concubine Lin, or Yun Jingya and the Second Prince Concubine, these are nobles that ordinary eunuchs rarely see, if they offend one of them, the eunuch will be punished with death.So the queen opened her mouth to pardon.

Hui Xue responded, and then went out of the palace gate to lead in a eunuch who was a bit rich but with extremely agile hands and feet.After the eunuch came in, he knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Little Xu Jinshi has met the empress, the concubine Lin, the concubine Shu, the princess, the second concubine, and the fourth prince." concubine."

Obviously, this set of rhetoric was specially taught by Huixue before, no matter in terms of sequence or comprehensiveness, people can't fault it at all.Although Su Wan is now related to the assassination of the prince, after all, the dust has not settled, so Su Wan must also be greeted.

The queen glanced at Xu Jinshi, and then asked: "Are you the eunuch Xu Jinshi, the leader of Jinyu Pavilion?" , do not know them at all.

Just now, because she had to authenticate Su Wan's handwriting, the queen remembered that there is a Jinyu Pavilion in the palace where calligraphy and paintings are kept, and she just asked them to take a look.As for other things, the queen didn't know at all, she didn't even know Xu Jinshi's name.

Xu Jinshi, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the queen pouring out his name, and said quickly: "Return to the empress, the younger one is Xu Jinshi." Although I don't know which empress was speaking just now, as long as there is no lack of etiquette, all the nobles I won't blame myself.

Just outside the door, Miss Huixue had told Xu Jinshi that she must speak honorifics after entering the door. The few sitting here are the most powerful concubines in the dynasty. If one is not careful, Xu Jinshi's I can't hold back my life.

Hearing Xu Jinshi's words, the queen nodded with a smile and said, "He's a clever man, and he knows some court etiquette." After speaking, the queen asked, "However, your name has some meaning. Who gave it to you?" started?"

Although the question just now was very simple, if someone who has never seen the big world, he would definitely stutter and be unable to say a whole sentence.This Xu Jinshi answered decently, which is why the queen said he was a clever man.

Xu Jinshi knelt on the ground, and said slowly: "Thank you for your compliment. The name of the young one was given by His Majesty. One day, His Majesty suddenly came to the Jinyu Pavilion, and the young one was looking at a piece of jade. He didn't even know that His Majesty came down." I never knew. His Majesty said with a smile that Xiao’s life was given to Jinshi, so he gave Xiao’s name Xu Jinshi.”

After listening to Xu Jinshi's words, the queen nodded. No wonder this Xu Jinshi was polite and polite. It turned out that he had met His Majesty before, and His Majesty gave him a name.Xu Jinshi's fortune is not small.

Thinking of this, the Queen said to Xu Jinshi with a smile: "Your Majesty has shown you a deep kindness, and you must repay His Majesty well. Today, I have a question for you to test. You must not let me down." That's what His Majesty expects of you."

The reason why the queen didn't tell Xu Jinshi directly was that the people behind the scenes had already guessed that she would use this method to bribe Xu Jinshi in advance, so that Xu Jinshi could interfere with it and disturb her own judgment.Now that he only said that there was one question for the school exam, Xu Jinshi must have relaxed his mind, and when he was relaxed, he would definitely tell himself the real answer he thought in his heart.

Xu Jinshi heard that the queen was going to ask a question to test himself, so he quickly said: "Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely try my best to solve the problem. Thank you for your majesty's kindness in the past and your mother's favor today."

The empress on the top smiled slightly, and then signaled Hui Xue to mark the note in her hand concealed, and then mixed it with the previous letters, and then asked Xu Jinshi to carefully distinguish whether it was written by one person.

Hui Xue took the letter and walked in front of Xu Jinshi. At this moment, Concubine Shu suddenly said: "Xu Jinshi, you have to read carefully, carefully, if you make a slight mistake, you will lose your head!"

When the queen heard Concubine Shu's words, her eyes were like lightning, and she stared directly at Concubine Shu's face.Just now I used words to narrow the distance, and deliberately played tricks, in order to make it difficult for those who might bribe Xu Jinshi. I never thought that Concubine Shu would jump out at such a critical moment!And so boldly warned Xu Jinshi!

Thinking of this, the queen looked at Concubine Shu with a sneer and said, "Sister Concubine Shu, you are so majestic. However, it is a bit overkill for such a small eunuch to use your power and prestige on such a small eunuch, right? Is there something wrong with my sister's words?" Deep meaning?"

If Concubine Shu's words just now were a reminder to Xu Jinshi, then Concubine Shu would naturally be inseparable from this matter, and even based on this matter alone, it can be concluded that Su Wan will definitely not be the mastermind behind the scenes!
You know, in the harem, everyone is coveting their own position all the time, and all people may frame themselves and pull themselves off this chair. It is possible for Su Wan, and Concubine Shu has already begun to talk to her. It's time to shoot!
Hearing what the queen said, Concubine Shu smiled indifferently, and said slowly: "What is my sister talking about? Even if my sister has a bit of prestige, how dare she show it in front of her? Just now, I just warned the eunuch so that he would not It's just perfunctory."

Concubine Shu saw all the tricks the queen did, and knew that the queen was afraid that someone would bribe Xu Jinshi.However, Concubine Shu was very happy today, and she was even more grateful to the person who murdered the prince, so she suddenly spoke at this time, muddying the gradually clear water again.

The empress who has been through the wind and rain will naturally not believe Concubine Shu's words. There is a lot of turmoil in the harem, and Concubine Shu is a deadly enemy with herself. How can she have such a good heart to worry about her own affairs?
Thinking of this, the queen sneered and said, "Thank you sister for your trouble. My sister's sudden opening made me startled. If I didn't know my sister very well, I would have thought that my sister wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate Xu Jinshi!"

The sarcasm in the words is obvious.Now the queen looks like everyone is the mother-in-law who assassinated the prince. Concubine Shu suddenly said such a sentence at this time, and the queen felt even more suspicious when she saw Concubine Shu's appearance.

Seeing that the Queen was about to go into a rage, Concubine Shu knew that she had achieved her goal, so she said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry. My sister and my sister have always been of the same mind, and I reminded Xu Jinshi just now for my sister's good."

Ever since the news that the crown prince of the East Palace was seriously ill, the queen's nerves were already in an extremely sensitive state. As long as she teased her a little, the queen would definitely respond.The purpose of mixing the water by oneself is also achieved.Things turned out as expected.

The queen knew that Concubine Shu would not be so kind, so when she heard Concubine Shu's words, she snorted coldly and said with a blunt smile: "Then sister thanked my sister here now. When I have a chance in the future, my sister will definitely thank you again. past my sister."

Today's matter has come to this point, I can't get too entangled with Concubine Shu, otherwise, I'm afraid Su Wan's matter will have to be delayed, if it is delayed until night, maybe something will happen again.It's better to cut the mess quickly.

Seeing the smirk on the queen's face, Concubine Shu smiled happily and said, "It's just a little thing, sister doesn't have to keep it in mind. My sister also remembers how my sister was kind to her in the past, so today I made a special announcement for my sister. force."

Sure enough, as I expected, the Queen has now begun to doubt everyone.However, it seems that the queen has not completely lost her mind, so she resolutely does not tangle with herself, and does not allow herself to achieve the purpose of delaying practice.

Hearing Concubine Shu's words, the Queen smiled, and then said to Xu Jinshi: "Xu Jinshi, you must remember what Concubine Shu said. If there is no problem, you can start to see if you can tell the difference!"

Xu Jinshi said yes in a deep voice, reached out to take the letter and notes in Hui Xue's hand, and examined them carefully.This is Xu Jinshi's old profession, and the writer did not hide his pen habits on purpose, so it is very easy to distinguish.

However, looking at it, the sweat on Xu Jinshi's head came down.It's not that it's too difficult to distinguish the handwriting, but because what's written in this letter is obviously a shocking event!I accidentally got involved in this, it really is extremely unlucky!
After carefully checking the letters and letterheads three times, Xu Jinshi wiped the sweat from his forehead.This matter is too big, now that I know it, I can only settle it impartially, otherwise I am afraid that I will be killed.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinshi read all the letters and notes again, and then calmly said to the queen slowly: "Report to the queen, the little one has already had a result."
