After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 553: The Jiang Family is a God of Assistance

Emperor Liang also loved his grandson Lu Qi very much. After Lu Yuan was conferred the title of Guardian of the Nation Qilin, in order to prevent the civil and military officials from thinking that Lu Qi was being neglected, he specially suspended court for three days for his wedding.

The officials were happy to have some free time.

Only Gongsun Yanming entered the palace early in the morning.

I never thought that he was early, and there were people who were earlier than him.

As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Garden, he heard the laughter of children. It turned out to be Baozhuzhu and Nie'er playing on the lawn.

The two little kids are childhood sweethearts and have a lot of fun playing together.

Emperor Liang's eyes were full of smiles.

Concubine Jiang Hui was there too.

However, she didn't come to Emperor Liang to seek attention, she just happened to meet him.

Concubine Jiang Hui moved to the side.

If she had known he was coming, she would not have come.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui."

Gongsun Yanming stepped forward and bowed.

Emperor Liang nodded and said, "Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gongsun Yanming sat down on a stone bench nearby.

Concubine Jiang Hui asked indifferently, "What brought the Imperial Master here?"

Eunuch Yu smelled the urge from Concubine Jiang Hui, and he glanced at Concubine Jiang Hui and Gongsun Yanming calmly.

Concubine Jiang Hui and Concubine Hu had a falling out, and Qianji Pavilion, which was a descendant of Prince Jin, also became disliked by Concubine Jiang Hui.

Gongsun Yanming said in a normal tone: "I came to the palace today to report something important."

Concubine Jiang Hui said unhappily, "You didn't play during the court session. Your Majesty finally got two days off, but you still won't let him relax."

Emperor Liang: Is he cared for by Concubine Jiang Hui?

Concubine Jiang Hui had been in the palace for many years, and this was the second time she spoke to him.

The first time was when he was young and drunk, talking nonsense and saying that there was no point in living and it would be better to die and be done with it all.

Concubine Jiang Hui immediately handed him a knife.

Emperor Liang gathered his thoughts, cleared his throat and said, "The Imperial Master came to the palace to make a report in person, it must be no small matter, go ahead."

Concubine Jiang Hui snorted coldly and rolled her eyes.

Gongsun Yan stood up without looking away, and bowed to Emperor Liang, saying, "Your Majesty, last night I was presumptuous and offended the Crown Prince because of the matter of catching a traitor. I was not able to discipline him properly, so I came here today to apologize to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Liang said, "I have heard about what happened last night. Yuan'er was young and hot-tempered. He was not polite to your brother and did not understand the rules of the court. I am sorry that you were wronged."

Gongsun Yanming leaned forward quickly and said, "I am terrified!"

His eyes moved, as if he had not expected someone to be the first to complain.

Concubine Jiang Hui said slowly, "Grand Master, I am not being nosy. It is your business to catch traitors in Qianji Pavilion. You rushed into the Prince's Mansion rashly. To put it nicely, you are doing it for the safety of the Prince and others. To put it bluntly, are you suspecting that the Prince's Mansion is sheltering traitors from Qianji Pavilion? Not to mention that the Prince is unhappy, if it were me, I would probably shovel you all out!"

Gongsun Yanming said calmly: "Your Majesty is right. It is Qianji Pavilion that has not thought it through."

Emperor Liang sighed, "Okay, I believe that the Imperial Master has no intention of making things difficult for the Crown Prince's Mansion."

Concubine Jiang Hui sneered.

Emperor Liang: "..."

Emperor Liang looked at Gongsun Yanming and asked, "Who is the traitor?"

Gongsun Yanming said seriously: "Yan Xiaojiu."

Emperor Liang's face darkened.

Concubine Jiang Hui smiled coldly: "I guessed that you, the Imperial Master Palace, would deal with her sooner or later." The report that could have been completed in one go was shattered by Concubine Jiang Hui.

Emperor Liang frowned and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "The disciples of Qianji Pavilion saw it with their own eyes. She went to rob the dungeon. Elder Qiu tried to stop her, but she stabbed him to death with a sword. Then she escaped from Qianji Pavilion with Yan Hanshuang."

Concubine Jiang Hui taunted, "You, the disciples of Qianji Pavilion, of course, will do whatever you, the Pavilion Master, tell them to do."

"His Majesty."

At this time, Meng Qianqian entered the imperial garden carrying a basket of flower petals.

Gongsun Yanming frowned, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Concubine Jiang Hui smiled and said, "Have you finished picking?"

Meng Qianqian said softly: "These are almost enough for a snack."

Concubine Jiang Hui continued, "You came at the right time. The Imperial Master said that you killed an elder named Qiu in Qianji Pavilion last night and kidnapped your master Yan Hanshuang."

Meng Qianqian was surprised: "Was Elder Qiu killed? Was my master really kidnapped? But I didn't go back to Qianji Pavilion last night. After attending the wedding banquet at Prince Jin's Mansion, I went to the street to buy some medicinal herbs. The eldest grandson of the emperor can testify to this, and the owner of the medicine shop can also testify!
After buying the medicine, I planned to go back to Qianji Pavilion, but I ran into Miss Zhao Zhao on the way. Miss Zhao Zhao ate too much at the banquet and had stomachache, so I followed Miss Zhao Zhao to the Prince's Mansion. I stayed in Miss Zhao Zhao's room all night and didn't leave at all. "

Concubine Jiang Hui suddenly realized: "No wonder it was you who sent Zhao Zhao to the palace this morning."

Meng Qianqian whispered: "As soon as Miss Zhaozhao opened her eyes, she cried for her great grandfather..."

Emperor Liang was very pleased with the last sentence.

Of course, Emperor Liang is not someone who doesn't care about evidence.

He called the two guards he had assigned to Meng Qianqian.

The guards testified that after Miss Yan left Prince Jin's Mansion, she did go to the pharmacy with His Royal Highness Chang Sun, and did run into the crying Miss Zhao Zhao on the way, and then went to the Prince's Mansion together.

They stayed outside the yard all night, and Miss Yan only came out when it was almost dawn.

Concubine Jiang Hui said bluntly: "Grandmaster, you didn't know that Yan Xiaojiu was in the Crown Prince's residence, so you deliberately sent people to the residence to arrest her, right? In this way, we just happened to catch her red-handed."

Gongsun Yanming looked at Meng Qianqian with sharp eyes.

Meng Qianqian looked at him with a wronged expression, but there was a hint of provocation in the calmness of her eyes.

Gongsun Yanming's eyes were filled with anger. He clenched his fingers and said calmly, "It seems that I have misunderstood. Yan Xiaojiu, since you are innocent, follow me back to Qianji Pavilion and explain everything to the elders."

This request is not excessive in terms of both emotion and reason.

Therefore, Emperor Liang did not stop it.

But what she never expected was that Baozhuzhu rushed over and hugged Meng Qianqian's legs: "Teacher, don't leave! You can't leave! You can't leave! You have to play with the baby!"

Nie'er also hugged Meng Qianqian: "Play with Nie'er!"

The two little balls seemed to have grown on her body and couldn't be peeled off.

The palace maids looked at Concubine Jiang Hui and Emperor Liang helplessly.

Concubine Jiang Hui felt sorry for her nephew: "What's the big deal? You are the Pavilion Master, why don't you just go back and tell him? Or is your words useless? Then you can stop being the Pavilion Master!"

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly: "Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Gongsun Yanming clenched his fists.

Out of the Imperial Garden.

A young eunuch stepped forward and whispered, "Grandmaster."

Gongsun Yanming gave him a brocade box.

The young eunuch understood, put the brocade box in his arms, avoided everyone's sight, and went to the imperial study.

Then he opened the brocade box.

There was an ink block inside.

He replaced the ink block on the table and left the imperial study calmly.
