Chapter four hundred and seventy first strike first
"I'm back." Jin slowly opened her eyes and said, "How's it going? Did you really go to Yanxi Palace with the prince?"
The eunuch quickly said: "Yes, I saw him coming out of there with my own eyes. It's absolutely true."
Hearing this, Liu Mei smiled coldly and said: "Prince and I entered the harem without authorization to have a private meeting with Concubine Xian. This crime alone is enough to make the two of them miserable."
The eunuch shook his head and said: "It's useless. I just went to inquire. It seems that Prince He was ordered by the emperor to see Concubine Xian. As for why he went there, I don't know."
Liu Mei let out a soft "ah" and said in annoyance: "The emperor's order...isn't it a waste of the efforts these days?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. It is better to know now than to say something wrong and be reprimanded in front of the emperor. Don't you think so, Master?"
Jin was speechless, but Liu Mei said: "Oh, I originally saw Prince He and Concubine Xian talking to each other outside Yangxin Palace, and then looked back at each other when they were leaving. I thought they had an affair, so I asked you to keep staring at Yan.
Jubilee Palace, it turns out that the work is still in vain, it is really not easy to catch the mistakes of Concubine Xian."
"It may not be in vain." Jin sat up straight and said: "The two met outside the Yangxin Palace the day before yesterday. Yesterday they both left the palace together. Today, the prince and I went to the Yanxi Palace to meet each other.
I don’t believe that there is nothing going on between the two of them, let alone that there was such an incident before.”
Liu Mei rolled her eyes lightly and leaned forward: "I heard that when Concubine Xian first entered the dormitory, the Emperor and Prince He almost fell out. Is it true?"
Jin snorted softly and said: "Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, the rumors at that time were extremely powerful and it should not be false. Her methods are much more powerful than you think." After a pause, she said to
The eunuch waiting aside said: "Kang Delu, continue to keep an eye on Yanxi Palace for me, don't be careless."
"This slave knows." Kang Delu responded: "Master, what should I do with Concubine Yu? The fifth elder brother was just born a few days ago, and the emperor personally gave him his name. It shows that he attaches great importance to him."
"Fifth elder brother..." Jin said with a gloomy face: "I heard that he was weak due to premature birth and suffered from heart disease, but he still managed to survive." Hate turned to hate, and for a while, he couldn't think about it.
In order to find a way to deal with their mother and son, she once went to Xianfu Palace to see Yongqi, but that girl Dongmei wouldn't even let her touch Yongqi. She was very wary.
Kang Delu said worriedly: "Concubine Yu has a son by her side. I'm afraid a lot of things will happen in the future."
Liu Mei thought for a long time and said: "Actually, we are not the only ones in the palace who are staring at the mother and son in Xianfu Palace. Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi are all staring at them. Why don't we do what we did last time?
Borrowing a knife."
Jin's eyes flashed and she said: "Whose sword are you borrowing, Qing Bin? Wan Bin? With the defense of Xianfu Palace and the methods of the two of them, I'm afraid it won't work."
Liu Mei said mysteriously: "Of course they can't, but I know that there is one person who can definitely do it."
Jin's spirit perked up and he quickly asked: "Who is it?"
Under her gaze, Liu Mei slowly uttered three words, "Concubine Xian!"
"She?" Jin said quite unexpectedly: "Concubine Xian's skills are naturally good, but...it's harder to borrow her knife than to catch her mistakes. Concubine Yu has been pregnant for so long, but she has never made a move.
,"
Liu Mei pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's not easy for her, but what about Concubine Yi? Concubine Yi and Concubine Xian have a very good relationship, and I heard that there is some feud between Concubine Yi and Concubine Yu."
Jin was silent for a moment and said, "You mean to borrow Concubine Xian's sword through Concubine Yi?"
"Yes, if this plan can be successful, you can kill two birds with one stone and eliminate two people who are a threat to the master at once." Liu Mei's words made Jin slowly reveal a smile, "Yes, although this method is not easy, it will be very beneficial to me. But the benefits are the greatest.”
"Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although you can't catch the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den, are you taking some risks? If you don't get rid of Concubine Xian, but you are targeted by her, it won't be worth the loss."
Facing Kang Delu's words, Jin shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, I and her will have a falling out. Furthermore, instead of being passively defensive, it is better to strike first."
Seeing Jin's insistence, Kang Delu said no more. The three masters and servants gathered together and thought carefully about how to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
At that time, Hongxi, who was escorted to Beijing, was tried in the Zongren Mansion. The person who presided over the trial was Yunli, and there were also Zhang Tingyu and Ertai. Regarding their trial, Hongxi had no fear and refused to fight to death. , and even made a lot of irony about Yunli's disabled legs and the fact that she drives a wheelchair to go to court every day.
Yunli did not get angry with him, and ordered someone to record what Hongxi said in a book, and then presented it to Hongli for review. After reading it, Hongli became furious, threw the book to the ground, and said sternly: "This Hongxi, what happened now , but he still has no regrets at all; what is even more hateful is that since he was arrested, many people in the court have petitioned for his mercy and let me open the door, including..." He gritted his teeth and said: "My good uncle Sixteen !”
Yunli continued: "In addition to Hongxi, I also tried the wizard An Tai. It was basically the same as what Prince He said. Hongxi once asked him about the fortune of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's life limit, etc., but he could not Seriously, these calculations are just random nonsense used to perfunctory Hong Xi."
Hongli said bitterly: "He is another sorcerer who pretends to be a magician. This kind of person really deserves to be killed!"
Yunli nodded and said: "An Taigu deserves to be killed, but the most important thing now is Hongxi. How does the emperor plan to deal with him and his accomplices?"
Hongli was silent for a moment and said: "Lao Wu also told me about this matter. Although Hongxi deserved death for his crime, after all, it was a brother-in-law affair and it involved the face of the royal family. I decided not to make this matter public. It’s enough to deprive Prince Hongxi of his title and imprison him in the palace. As for Uncle Sixteen..."
Yunli was afraid that he would be too harsh, so he quickly advised him: "Your Majesty, Brother Sixteen is kind-hearted, peaceful and prudent, and is not a heinous person. I hope your Majesty will be lenient."
"He is not treacherous, but he only wants to please others and is ambiguous when things happen." After a moment of pause, Hongli's eyes were cold and he said: "I will tolerate him again. If he, Hongchang and others still don't know how to restrain themselves, don't do it." No wonder I’m so rude!”
Yunli said happily: "The emperor's kind heart is really a blessing to the people of the world. I believe Hongxi and others will definitely appreciate the emperor's kindness and change their past mistakes."
"I don't dare to say that I have a kind heart, I just want to be clear in my heart. As for whether others will repent and change their past, I don't know and I don't care." After a pause, he said: "By the way, Seventeenth Uncle , have you found Wang Ze and the group of escaped dead soldiers?"
