The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 199 Doubt
In Prince Waisi's mansion, Xiao Jingchang was feeding a parrot hanging in the corridor.

The parrot was jumping back and forth on the bird stand, still saying: "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

Xiao Jingchang teased the parrot with bird food and said, "You shouldn't say Gong Xi Fa Cai, you should say Zaodeng Dabao. Tell me something." The parrot still said that Gong Xi Fa Cai jumped around.

The attendant at the side frowned and asked Xiao Jingchang: "My lord, don't you plan to go to the palace to help your empress now?"

Xiao Jingchang waved his hand and said, "No, entering the palace now will only implicate me. It will also make my impression even worse. Besides, my uncle is often unreliable in his affairs. If I go to the palace now, I will take the blame for him. What to do. And if the king doesn't go, the father may just lose his temper. If the king goes, it may make the father even more angry. Since the father supported the sixth son, the past few years have been very bad for the king. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to see.”

Hearing this, the attendant was a little puzzled and asked: "In this case, shouldn't the prince go to the emperor to help the empress and Mr. He out of the siege?"

Xiao Jingchang casually threw the bird food into a small bowl aside.He reached out and picked up the bird stand hanging there.After whistling at the parrot, he said to the attendant: "Go to rescue? Is it to show my filial piety? Isn't Xiao Jingyun filial? Why can't he do it? But look at the present? Even the corpse is gone, only the corpse is left. The next bag of ashes. Such a big imperial mausoleum is just a tomb of clothes and a bag of ashes. You say it is ridiculous. I can see through it. At the beginning, the father wanted to use me and the mother and concubine as gunmen. Who knows that the current sixth son Is it also a grab against me?"

The attendant at the side hurriedly said: "It's better for the prince to be careful with his words."

Xiao Jingchang sneered: "Okay, I know what's going on. It's best if I don't do anything now. And the more people think I'm conceited, it's the best to be arrogant. So I won't join in the fun. And With the intelligence of my mother and concubine, it will definitely be fine. Besides, I don’t enjoy the blessings in the palace, so why go to the palace to be scolded.” After speaking, she teased the bird and went into the study.

In the palace, Shi Lan helped Concubine He Gui and walked slowly towards Yuqing Hall.Her hand was pinched fiercely by Concubine He Gui.She didn't dare to cry out in pain, she could feel He Guifei's whole body trembling.But she dared not ask now what happened.

The sedan chair I made when I came here was carried by two young eunuchs and followed far behind.

Finally, when she reached the intersection from Kunyi Palace to Yuqing Palace, Concubine He Guifei stopped and turned her head to look at Kunyi Palace, and said quietly to Shi Lan: "I was married by my father when I was 14 years old. At that time, the emperor was still a prince. At that time, the emperor and the empress were singing in harmony. At that time, they already had the future prince Xiao Jingyun. At that time, I never thought about fighting for anything. "

"I know, I was sent by my father as a bargaining chip for cooperation, but I asked for it myself. I am well-behaved, sensible, charming and charming. The emperor is also very good to me. Just like I thought at the beginning. I only ask the emperor to treat me well." I had to do it a little bit. But then the queen became pregnant, and the emperor came to my room more often."

"I began to hope that the emperor at that time could treat me better, if only he could treat me as well as the queen. Probably since then, I have started to have a little bit of ambition. It's just that I never noticed it. "

"But no matter how hard I try. The Hall of Kunyi is empty, so it's not my turn to live there." After speaking, he looked at the Hall of Kunyi and sighed, then asked Shi Lan to walk towards the Hall of Yuqing with the Hall of Kunyi on his back go.

At this time, Shi Lan had the courage to ask cautiously: "Your Majesty, did something happen in the palace just now?"

At this time, Concubine He Gui had returned to normal. She let out a breath slowly and said, "It's nothing. The emperor just waived the right of my palace to assist the sixth palace. You will send the Phoenix Seal and all the plaques to Fengyi Hall later." go."

"This..." Shi Lan said with some injustice after hesitation, "Your Majesty has worked tirelessly to take care of the harem all these years. It's too unreasonable to take away your rights just because the Eldest Master and the Young Miss demanded a little more?"

Concubine He waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's the truth, it's useless to talk too much. Let's go back to Yuqing Hall." Shi Lan hurriedly turned around and waved for the two young eunuchs to follow.

After Shao Zhiyan and Su Kanghui separated, they returned directly to Ruiwenzhai.As soon as he went upstairs without any illness, he waited for him at the entrance of the building with an excited face.

Shao Zhiyan frowned, and stretched out his hand to Wubing.Wu Bing hurriedly put a bright yellow wax pill into Shao Zhirong's hand.

Shao Zhirong was a little puzzled for a moment.Uncle announced himself into the palace early this morning.I asked myself about the general situation of the minister's residence in the DPRK and China.Many of these things are organized into notes and passed on to my uncle on weekdays.Today, I asked myself to go to the palace to say it again, I don't know what it means.

Moreover, he didn't send himself away when he was discussing with the minister, and he kept himself in Ziying Hall.This is unprecedented.Now that I have just left the palace, my uncle has sent a secret letter, I don't know what my uncle means.

Shao Zhiyan rubbed the wax balls open, and there was a small note inside with a line of words written: Check if there are any money transactions with officials who have passed He Liangde's hands over the years.

Shao Zhiyan raised his eyebrows slightly, is uncle planning to move Xiao Jingchang?Could it be that uncle really intends to make Jing Rong his heir?But in his opinion, Jing Rong is not yet capable of inheriting that position.Or it was simply because this banquet gave him a bad association.

He came to the desk, took out a small note from the drawer, wrote a series of numbers, then went to the bookshelf, opened the hidden compartment on the shelf, and put the note in.

After less than a cup of tea, a small bell on the bookshelf suddenly rang.Shao Zhiyan opened the secret compartment again, and a neat stack of letter papers was placed inside.

Shao Zhiyan took it out and looked it over. It recorded all the official positions, personnel, economic situation, and some special circumstances that He Liangde promoted after he took office as the Minister of the Household Department.

He put the letter paper on the desk and nodded his fingers.Wusheng on the side said: "Shall we send it there now?"

Shao Zhiyan shook his head and said, "It will take a few more days. Sending it over is a little troublesome now."

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to do, he was healthy and sat back to copy books obediently.Hearing Shao Zhiyan's words, he was a little puzzled and asked, "Since you already have the details, why don't you send them over immediately?"

Shao Zhiyan shook his head and said: "This will cause unnecessary trouble. I will take it now to show that I already knew there was a problem. If my uncle asks my answer, he will probably be suspicious. So I don't need to find this kind of unnecessary trouble. Necessary trouble."

"But I don't know if uncle can see that Xiao Jingchang and He Liangde are playing tricks. This buying and selling of officials is done too much. Anyone with a discerning eye will know the tricks inside."

Wu Bing frowned: "The emperor seems very shrewd. He must be able to see it. But I think they are a little too blatant."
