After hearing Zeng Yi's threatening words, the imperial concubine hesitated for a long time, took a few deep breaths, and said: "In recent times, apart from handling government affairs and resting in Yangxin Hall, your majesty usually spends the night at Concubine Zhen's place."
At this time, the imperial concubine's expression changed obviously. Zeng Yi estimated that this imperial concubine must be very favored, and even somewhat threatened his status as the imperial concubine.
Zeng Yi was silent for a moment after hearing this, "Then, will the Emperor go to Concubine Zhen tomorrow?"
The imperial concubine shook her head: "How can I guess His Majesty's thoughts? If you are busy with government affairs, Your Majesty will rest directly in the Yangxin Hall."
"In that case, I will come back tomorrow night. Then all you have to do is tell me whether your majesty went to Concubine Zhen." With that said, Zeng Yi left the concubine's palace without looking back.
Returning to Taipu Temple, everyone in Taipu Temple went to work as usual the next day. They had no plans to go out during the day, but Taipu Temple was extremely busy today. Zeng Yi's hidden warehouse was opened several times, and several carriages were stored.
After the Taipu Temple officials left, Zeng Yi also checked the carriages. The highest specification carriage turned out to be a five-horse carriage. You must know that carriages with this specification are all used by prince-level figures. The rest
They are all four-horse carriages.
"Hiss! Looking at the situation, it should be that several frontier officials from Xixia have returned to the capital! At this time, the return of these frontier officials to the capital is related to the conspiracy of the Four Kingdoms?"
Several days were wasted in the palace, and no news was found. To be honest, Zeng Yi suddenly discovered that several high-ranking officials from Xixia were rushing back to the imperial city. Zeng Yi was a little anxious. "No, let's find out first, what are these carriages about?"
Whose!"
Just as he was thinking about whether to go out and look for some clues to find out what happened to these carriages to their owners, there was another movement outside. Why did Zeng Yi get into the six-horse carriage of the Xixia Emperor? A moment later, the warehouse door opened again, and another
A four-horse carriage pulled up.
Several Taipusi officials came to actually handle the carriage. One official unloaded the carriage and whispered to another official beside him: "This must be the vehicle of General Li of the Zhennan Army!"
Another official nodded: "Yes, I don't know why today, so many adults suddenly came back!"
"Yes, this is the fifth one. These generals have bad tempers. We must be careful not to have an accident and suffer punishment in vain."
"I guess something big is going to happen in the imperial court, so it's better to not be able to recruit so many adults to come back."
...
Soon, several officials settled the carriage and left the warehouse. Zeng Yi jumped out of the carriage and frowned, looking at the carriages and said, "Made, they are all the cars of the feudal officials. Come back at this time.
It’s definitely up to no good!”
Zeng Yi really wanted to go out and find out, but the danger of movement during the day was too great, especially the Xixia Palace. When it was built, it was obviously based on the palaces of the Central Plains Dynasty. In addition to the imperial gardens, there were tall trees in the palace.
The other places are all bare, with at most some small trees and flowers, and no big trees at all. The purpose of this is to prevent assassins from hiding in the big trees. If Zeng Yi acted during the day, except for various palaces,
There is not even a place to hide on the roof. Once you get too close, you will be discovered by the top experts in charge of the Xixia Palace in minutes.
Zeng Yi could only wait. After a few hours, the sky gradually darkened, and the officials of Taipu Temple also got off work. Zeng Yi hurriedly left Taipu Temple and went straight to the imperial concubine's palace.
"My queen, please come and be fine!"
It was only a day later that I met the imperial concubine today. She was actually dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed elegantly. Sitting there, she seemed to have the aura of a mother nurturing the world.
When the imperial concubine saw Zeng Yi, she quickly stood up and said anxiously: "Get out of here quickly, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be here soon!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Yi was startled, "You mean His Majesty is going to spend the night at your place tonight?"
"No, no, no, His Majesty is going to entertain all the adults at the Imperial Palace. As a noble concubine, I have to serve His Majesty and entertain all the adults!"
"Sir? Those adults?"
Zeng Yi hurriedly asked: "I, I don't know either. His Majesty just sent someone to inform me, and I just found out. If you leave here quickly, if someone discovers it, you and I will be doomed!"
Seeing that the imperial concubine was so anxious, and it didn't seem like she was telling lies, plus what he learned during the day, the Emperor of Xixia probably wanted to entertain those officials from the border areas, and was also afraid that he would be blocked in the imperial concubine's palace. Zeng Yi thought
After a moment, he quickly set off and left the imperial concubine's palace.
Zeng Yi left the palace and did not go anywhere else. Instead, he kept observing the imperial concubine's palace from a distance. He wanted to make sure whether the imperial concubine had lied to him and whether the emperor really wanted to entertain those feudal lords in the imperial palace.
Big official.
After a while, several eunuchs hurriedly arrived at the imperial concubine's palace. After a while, surrounded by a group of people, the imperial concubine followed the eunuchs and left the palace. Seeing this situation, Zeng Yi was basically sure that the imperial concubine did not lie to him. Xixia
The emperor is indeed going to entertain those people.
"The emperor hosted a banquet for a group of feudal officials. Today the palace's main energy is concentrated on the Imperial Palace. We just took this opportunity to go to the Yangxin Palace to check the situation." As he said this, Zeng Yi hurried towards the Yangxin Palace.
The direction lurked in the past.
As the place where the Emperor of Xixia usually worked and rested, the Yangxin Hall was heavily guarded, and there were usually top-notch masters stationed there. But today, all of them went to the Imperial Palace to protect the safety of the Emperor and the frontier officials.
If something went wrong with people, it would be no exaggeration to say that Xixia would basically be doomed.
It's not like Zeng Yi never thought about poisoning these people, but it was too difficult to do it. Not to mention the super experts on the scene, even if the emperor had eunuchs to test the poison when he ate everything, he couldn't pass it. Zeng Yi couldn't pass it.
Yi thought for a moment and then gave up the idea.
There were only a few young eunuchs left in the Yangxin Hall who were cleaning. It was too easy for Zeng Yi to avoid a few young eunuchs who didn't know martial arts. The few young eunuchs didn't notice it at all, right under their noses.
, a figure had already flashed into the Yangxin Hall.
The Hall of Yangxin is used for receiving important ministers, as well as for daily work and rest. The scale is naturally quite large. As soon as Zeng Yi entered the Hall of Yangxin, he went directly to the dragon chair that the emperor used to make. There were many things on the golden nanmu table in front of the dragon chair.
There were so few memorials, so Zeng Yi quickly picked up one and started reading it.
It was a memorial about a certain official's performance by the imperial censor. Zeng Yi didn't even read it, just threw it aside, picked up the next one and continued reading. (To be continued)
