"I am upright and not afraid of the slanting shadow, so that the emperor can see what the kindness King Zhan said and the virtue that gave me the position of princess look like!"
This is what Princess Zhan wants.
You don't even need to go outside to compare with the princess next to you. You only need to look at the courtyard where she is and the courtyard of Concubine Wei to see clearly.
Under this world, there is no reason to call black as white, and there is no rule to falsely accuse white as black.
Today, if she could not pull King Zhan off his horse, she would be willing to die in this hall!
"Okay, Princess Zhan and the second princess are in a lot of shock today. Let's go to the side hall to rest first. Then the imperial doctor will be sent to check on the second princess's injuries. Don't cause any misunderstandings with Xidi."
After the emperor said this, the courtiers remembered.
This is no longer just a family matter, but also a national matter mixed in.
King Zhan gritted his teeth with hatred at this moment.
If I had known today, I would have sent the mother and daughter to the West with a bowl of medicine.
It's better than letting someone step on his sore spot just now.
Now the only hope is Concubine Wei. She is usually very cautious, but she must not be frightened.
In front of Prince Zhan's Mansion, hundreds of imperial guards surrounded the mansion.
Not to mention people, even dogs can't escape.
The fourth prince, headed by the prince, felt very unlucky when he looked at the words "Prince Zhan's Mansion".
Disgraceful to the royal reputation.
Then he said seriously to the hundreds of other guards standing behind him.
"Search! Don't miss any place!"
"yes!"
Lin Xingzhi led the team and was the first to enter the palace.
The servants and attendants who were originally looking down upon others saw this formation and all trembled and knelt down on the ground.
Not to mention reporting the news, even taking two steps will be captured!
Who would have trouble with his own life?
So, when Lin Xingzhi led his men into Concubine Wei's yard, he was really shocked.
In the past, he thought that the Ronghetang in the Prime Minister's Mansion was a first-class luxury. Later, after seeing his sister's Yihua Palace, he realized that there are mountains beyond the mountains and there are people outside the people.
But these are nothing compared to the courtyard of the guard and concubine in front of him.
Princess Rongkang's precious nine-tailed golden carp looks like something. There are at least a thousand of them swimming in the rockery pond in this courtyard.
And it’s the middle of winter, and the Chinese New Year is approaching.
This water is still alive. It can be imagined that it is specially imported hot spring water.
Although this is not a big deal, in Lin Xingzhi's eyes, there is something different here.
Then he said to the person next to him.
"Go to Qintian Prison to ask Jian Zheng and my father to come over. He said that there is something in the palace and they should come and check it out."
The guards didn't know why, but they did everything the leader ordered them to do.
So I ran out quickly and went straight to Qintian Prison.
Concubine Wei was originally taking a nap, but at this moment she was awakened by the movement outside.
He opened his mouth and called the maid several times, but no sound was heard.
Suspicion suddenly arose in my heart.
After thinking about it, he moved a few mechanisms in the low cabinet at the corner of the bed, and then got up to get dressed.
Sure enough, women's minds are the most sensitive.
When she went out, she saw the yard full of people.
The people who came here were all unfamiliar faces, but looking at the clothes they were wearing, they knew they must be the Imperial Guards in the palace.
Concubine Wei and Lin Xingzhi have never met, so they don't know each other.
But you always know your reputation, so she smiled consciously and said.
"I wonder who this lord is? I'm visiting the palace today, but what's the important thing?"
"I am the imperial guard Lin Xingzhi. Following the emperor's order, I came here to check some old accounts in Prince Zhan's palace. I also asked the concubine Wei to gather all the servants together. If you encounter any brothers from the Imperial Guard, then
Don’t blame us for being careless in our actions.”
"Of course, since the emperor has an order, the soldiers should obey it. But this account book is in the hands of the steward. Please allow me to get it from the general."
Concubine Wei was somewhat like a general, and she did not show any timidity when faced with so many strangers coming to question her.
He is still so polite and polite, which is really amazing.
Lin Xingzhi thought so, but he would not give her a chance to do anything inside.
Then he cupped his fists and said.
"Please forgive me, Concubine Wei. Before coming here, I have already ordered someone to pick it up, so I won't bother Concubine Wei to move around. You just need to sit quietly and wait for everything to settle down."
Concubine Wei was stunned for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.
So he put on a generous smile and said.
"General, it's up to you."
Then he found a stone bench in the yard and sat down. His calm attitude made Lin Xingzhi think for a moment that Princess Zhan had made a mistake.
She is not afraid of being searched at all. It seems that the accounts on the surface must have been done very carefully. Even if there are a few mistakes, it is probably not a big deal.
Otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.
Thinking of this, Lin Xingzhi still had to do what he should do for his superficial work.
So they started a thorough search.
Today's Imperial Guards are not the former Imperial Guards. They all have some real skills in their hands.
Orders and prohibitions are issued, and orders come and go like the wind.
Soon, the entire Prince Zhan's Mansion was turned upside down.
But except for those more luxurious items, only hundreds of thousands of taels of items were found, which is nothing extraordinary.
It is not a big deal for such a large palace to have some surplus.
The same goes for the account books. After bringing in special accountants to check them one by one, nothing wrong was found.
Everything was as Lin Xingzhi guessed.
This concubine Wei is indeed a person with two skills.
But think about it, otherwise how could you have been favored for so many years?
If these things cannot be found, then the serious crimes committed by King Zhan will be much less.
As long as he insists that he did not kick his own son to death on purpose, it seems that there is nothing anyone else can do.
Therefore, a deadlock suddenly appeared.
Lin Xingzhi looked at Concubine Wei, who was still drinking tea calmly, and in his heart he felt a little admiration for this woman who had collapsed.
At least when faced with danger, her performance is much better than that of King Zhan.
But why does such a powerful woman have to be subordinate to the princess for so many years?
This made Lin Xingzhi a little puzzled.
But soon, all his confusions found a solution.
Because Lin Xingzhi's father, Uncle Lin, the deputy supervisor of Qintian Prison, was coming.
When she saw him, Concubine Wei's hand holding the tea cup paused.
Then he continued drinking without leaving any trace.
But obviously, the water in the cup has shaken a little.
The arrival of people from Qintian Prison is actually not a big deal.
But Concubine Wei was aware of Uncle Lin's reputation.
When Lin Xingzhi blurted out to call him "father", a flash of anxiety flashed in his heart.
No one can break the feng shui tactic she set up with an expert.
