Chapter five hundred and twentieth more complicated
Xianyue looked shocked and said: "You mean, Liu Erniang told the fourth person about this matter, and because of this, Concubine Yu did not dare to kill her?"
Hong Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, this is the only thing I can think of."
"If this is the case, this person must be very close to Liu Erniang." Xianyue thought for a moment and said, "Liu Erniang has lived in the capital for so long, and her neighbors may know something about it."
Hong Zhou immediately said: "Okay, I will send someone to investigate immediately after I return." After a pause, he said: "In addition, I accidentally found out something, I wonder if it may be related to this matter."
Xianyue said curiously: "Oh? What's the matter?"
"Because this matter involves Concubine Yu, I also investigated her affairs and found that Concubine Yu had made a private engagement with someone when she entered the dormitory, and agreed that if she was not selected, she would marry this person.
"
This incident was really beyond Xianyue's expectation, and she said: "Such a thing happened. Does the prince know who the person who is engaged to her is?"
"I think this person should be familiar to you. He is Ji Changming, who took over the post of Qin Tian Supervisor a few years ago."
"It's him?!" Xianyue was surprised and said: "Even if Concubine Yu had been engaged to Ji Changming before, but that was before entering the Qian Mansion, and so many years had passed, how could the prince guess about the affair with Liu Erniang?
What about it?"
"I returned to the capital after investigating Hongxi. Shortly after the fifth elder brother was born, a spiritual spring emerged in Taiyuan Prefecture. The emperor was very happy. He told the minister more than once that this was auspiciousness and a blessing from heaven. Even the celestial phenomena also
This is the case, and Qin Tianjian is responsible for the celestial phenomena. In other words, Qin Tianjian also feels that the fifth elder brother is extraordinary."
A Luo whispered from the side: "If the vision is true, then the fifth elder brother is naturally extraordinary. But now, we can already conclude that the vision when the fifth elder brother was born was false. Then the fifth elder brother..." Her expression
Suddenly, he blurted out: "I understand, I understand, Qin Tianjian is lying!"
Hong Zhou pointed at A Luo and said, "Yes, I have this suspicion, and Ji Changming is the person with the greatest suspicion. He is nearly 30 years old, but he has never gotten married. It is possible that the old relationship is unforgettable."
Zhi Chun said: "Instead of guessing here, why not ask Ji Changming or the emperor directly?"
A Luo patted her on the head and said: "First, Ji Changming will not tell the truth, but will scare the enemy; second, the emperor does not want to hear these words."
Xianyue nodded and said: "Yes, unless there is complete evidence, we must not let the emperor know about our suspicion of fifth elder brother." After that, she said: "This matter seems to be getting more and more complicated, Liu Erniang's
I’ll leave the matter to the prince, and as for Ji Changming… I will try to find out what the emperor has to say.”
"Okay, I will find Liu Erniang as soon as possible. As soon as there is news, I will send someone to send a letter to the empress. I will leave." When turning to leave, Hong Zhou paused in his steps, turned around and said: "The people in the palace are unpredictable, empress.
Now that I am pregnant with Liujia, I must be extremely careful and not be careless."
Xianyue said gratefully: "I know, thank you and the prince for reminding me."
While Hong Zhou and Xiayue were talking about this, Concubine Yu also received a letter from outside the palace and said with an ugly face: "What a concubine Xian, she is still tracking down the whereabouts of Liu Erniang after so long. Fortunately
Liu Erniang did not fall into her hands, otherwise everything I have worked so hard for will be ruined."
Dongmei took the letter she had placed on the small table and threw it into the charcoal pot. The next moment, the flames rose and rolled the letter into it, turning it into charcoal that could no longer be read. This was always the case.
As a general rule, once the letters sent from outside the palace are read, they will all be burned and no one will be left. The same is true for the letters sent from the palace.
Concubine Yu said coldly: "Dongmei, when you leave the palace tomorrow, tell me, Ama, that this matter cannot be dragged on like this any longer. No matter what method is used, Liu Erniang must be told the whereabouts of her daughter."
"Master, please calm down. Of course we can force her, but if we don't do it right and let Liu Erniang's daughter reveal the matter, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
Concubine Yu said bitterly: "Damn it, a mere country bitch is actually playing tricks on me!"
In fact, what she hated most was not that Liu Erniang was playing tricks on her, but that she had to accept it, which was really frustrating. Otherwise, how could Liu Erniang be alive today.
"Master, I also think this servant should not act too hastily, and let Liu Erniang live for a while, as long as Concubine Xian's people are not allowed to find her." Saying this, Xiao Quanzi said doubtfully: "It's strange to say, although Concubine Xian
She is proud of herself in the palace, but she is weak outside the palace. How could she find those people to track down Liu Erniang and keep track of her for so long?"
"Although she is powerless, she is rich. She has been in charge of the harem for so long, and she has secretly collected a lot of money. It is not unusual for her to use some money to hire people to trace it." As soon as Dongmei finished speaking, Concubine Yu said: "Those are not
Ordinary people, Amma mentioned in her letter, these people advance and retreat in an orderly manner
, has strong martial arts skills and should be someone who has received long-term training. Someone... someone must be helping her secretly." She said coldly: "Liu Erniang's matter can be put aside for the time being. The person who helped Nala Xianyue must be found as soon as possible.
I want to see who is helping her."
Dongmei followed the words and said: "Yes, I will convey my master's wishes to you."
Concubine Yu was silent for a while and said: "In addition, if I ask how that matter is going, it has been almost a month. Logically speaking, it should be almost done. If it is almost done, you can keep me in the palace.
Take out the things in the secret compartment and give them to Jin Bin, and tell her to act according to the plan."
Dongmei nodded, but also worried: "Master, will Jin Bin do what you say? I always feel that this person cannot be trusted."
Concubine Yu smiled coldly and said: "Unless she plans to watch Nala give birth to the piece of meat in her belly, she will definitely do it. Don't forget who caused her to be demoted from the position of concubine to concubine. If she is still in the position now,
As the fourth concubine, once she gives birth to a child, she becomes a noble concubine. How could she not avenge such a huge grievance?" After a pause, she suddenly said: "Is Concubine Yi hosting this New Year's Eve family dinner?"
Dongmei said curiously: "Yes, why does the master ask about this?"
Concubine Yu slowly raised the corners of her lips and said, "I have thought of a way to make this event more lively and realistic. And...if I'm lucky, maybe the power of the Assistant to the Sixth Palace will fall into my hands."
Saying this, she whispered a few words into Dongmei's ear, and the latter nodded in agreement.
The next day, Dongmei left the palace early. When she came back, she told Concubine Yu that the news that the imperial concubine was pregnant with a calamity star had already spread in many teahouses and taverns. She believed that it would not be long before the news reached Hongli's ears.
