Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 487 Will the official family abolish the empress?
Wu Yu asked Jin Xiaotao if this was the case.

Sure enough, Jin opened his mouth and denied it.

Su Yixin recalled that when she searched Jin's soul, several clips of hiding money flashed through, as if they were placed in the wall of her room facing the bed.

Su Yixin was about to tell Gu Qingjue when he heard him say to Wu Yu: "In the past three years, Zhang Youxiang has given the Jin family almost 100 taels of silver. According to Mrs. Jin's observation, she will definitely not hide the money elsewhere, most likely right under her nose, my lord can ask someone to search Mrs. Jin's bedroom, and don't let go of every corner, even the cracks in the wall."

Su Yixin smiled in relief.

The man she fell in love with had a good brain.

"What if I can't find it?"

Deputy Yang, who had been silent all this time, knew that such a sentence came suddenly.

Wu Yu's eyes swept across Yang Huairen's face, and then he flicked the sleeve of his left hand at a very fast speed: "Vice Yang knows, I trust Mr. Gu's judgment. One more thing, we are trying a murder case, not The Jin family's personal relationship with Wu Chunsheng, with this amount of money, is only more sure of the authenticity of Wu Chunsheng's words."

Deputy Yang knows nothing about investigating cases.

What he dealt with the most was stealing things by the maids and eunuchs in the palace, or criticizing the master in the palace.

"What is Master Wu doing with such an aggressive tone? I'm just expressing the worries in my heart."

Wu Yu snorted.

As soon as the matter was settled, he went to Cai Xiang for a drink and talked about today's events.

"Wang Han, take people to Ren's house quickly and search it carefully."

"Yes."

It takes another hour or two to go back and forth.

So, it was almost dark.

Jin and Wu Chunsheng are temporarily detained and will be retried tomorrow.

Deputy Yang knew that he was lonely, so he went back to the palace in despair, and told Zhang Meiren about the things in Kaifeng Mansion.

"That's it?"

"I went there late, and that's all I heard. As for the result of the interrogation, we won't know until tomorrow."

Zhang Meiren waved at Yang Huairen impatiently.

Yang Huairen was displeased with Zhang Meiren's attitude towards him, but he didn't dare to show it, after all, she was now a popular concubine and the biological mother of the eighth princess, so she couldn't afford to offend her.

Seeing that Yang Huairen was gone, Jia came over and said in a low voice, "My lady, why do you have to throw face at Yang Huairen, that person is the one who holds grudges the most."

"Mom, I am a concubine of an official family, why should I be afraid of an eunuch?"

Jia frowned: "Although he is an eunuch, he is still a high-ranking and powerful eunuch. If you can not offend him, you will not offend him. If Deputy Yang knows to lean on the queen, then you will have a hard time."

"The officials don't love the queen, why should I be afraid of her. In the harem, as long as there are officials protecting me, I'm not afraid of anyone."

Jia Shi: "..."

If it weren't for Zhang Wanqing's wonderful control, she really wouldn't want to talk to her about this.

"Madam, the queen is no longer favored by the officials. As long as the Cao family is here and the descendants of the Cao family do not commit any crimes, she will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the queen with the merits of the Cao family's ancestors, and no one else can easily move her."

Zhang Wanqing looked at Jia Shi: "Even the official family can't do it?"

"No."

"But I heard that the previous Queen Guo was deposed by the officials."

Jia felt that the way Zhang Wanqing looked at him revealed a clear sense of stupidity.

Can the deposed Empress Guo and Empress Cao be compared?
Empress Guo was chosen by the Queen Mother for the official family, and has never been liked by the official family.

When the Queen Mother was still alive, the official family rarely went to the Queen's Palace, let alone after the Queen Mother passed away, he almost never set foot there.

Of course this is only one of the reasons.

Another thing is that Queen Guo's brain is not as good as the current Queen Cao.

At that time, the officials only politely asked Queen Guo about the dismissal of the staff. Queen Guo said all her opinions with a single mind, which offended Prime Minister Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian, who was harmed, was dismissed as prime minister.

A few months later, Lu Yijian was reinstated, which would not make things easier for Empress Guo.

But Queen Cao is different.

She is the queen elected by the courtiers. With her cautious character, she never discusses the government affairs, and she is caught by others. In addition to her family background, she can naturally sit firmly on the throne of queen.

Besides, the emperor may not really like the queen.

At least he would take the initiative to go to the Queen's Palace and stay overnight.

Based on her many years of experience in the harem, the emperor did not dislike the empress, but was jealous.

Because of the queen, the officials saw the shadow of the queen mother.

She also told Zhang Meiren about this, but she just couldn't listen.

Anyway, if you can listen, it won't be so easy to control, so just worry more about it now.

Qingshou Palace

Forsythia came in, bowed her knees and saluted, "Your Majesty, please see Mr. Zhang."

"Please come in."

Zhang Mao bent down: "I send my respects to the queen."

"Mr. Zhang, why come here when you are free?"

"It's nothing serious, but I passed the Yellow Gate just now, and when I saw Deputy Yang, I hurried back to the palace from outside, and went directly to the Hall of Renming."

Standing behind Cao Yuyan, Rong's mother's face darkened: "When you leave the harem, you need to report to the queen before letting her go. But Deputy Yang actually left the palace directly without knowing it. He doesn't take Qingshou Palace seriously."

Zhang Mao said: "A while ago, a serial murder occurred outside the palace, involving Zhang Meiren's natal family."

Zhang Mao was serving in front of the emperor, so it is not surprising to know this.

Zhang Meiren could know, presumably it was the official who went to her palace to talk to her.

Cao Yuyan felt unhappy, but she could only pretend to be generous: "I know about this, thanks to Mr. Zhang for coming here to tell me."

After Zhang Maoze left, Cao Yuyan sat in her seat blankly.

"My lady, you have to cheer up."

Cao Yuyan looked at Rong's mother and shook her head: "I'm really tired. The officials dotes on her so much, but allows her people to leave the palace at will without notifying me, the queen."

This tramples on her face.

"Mother Rong, do you think it won't be long before the official family will depose me as the queen because of Zhang Meiren?"

"Oh, ma'am, don't think so."

Mother Rong said in relief: "The favor of the official family can make a woman famous for a while, but not for a lifetime. The empress is different. As long as you keep your mind steady, no woman can take your place."

"Young lady, think about it. Since ancient times, I thought that men have three wives and four concubines. How many of them live with one woman? Not to mention the official family. If you love me, Zhang Meiren's status is destined not to be the queen. Instead of Worried about her taking your place, it is better to let the officials' love for her disappear as soon as possible."

Cao Yuyan still looked weary.

But in the evening, the official family came to the Qingshou Palace and sat with her for a while.

Let's talk about Xixia sending people to negotiate peace again.

"How do officials decide?"

Zhao Zhen was surprised that the queen would ask him back, and usually said: Regarding the affairs of the court, the officials should ask themselves to make their own decisions, and there is no need to ask the courtiers and concubines what they mean.
