The air became colder, and the surroundings were very quiet. The people who were noisy just now didn't even dare to take a breath.
The matter of the Phoenix Seal is a secret of the royal family, aside from these little concubines, even the third prince may not even know whose hands the Phoenix Seal is at the moment.
There are two official seals in Chen Guo, one is the Dragon Seal, which is used by the Emperor. The Emperor must use the Dragon Seal to confirm his identity in all kinds of documents he handles on weekdays.
The other one is the phoenix seal, which is given to the queen to handle affairs in the harem.
Not only the harem, the queen manages the trivial daily affairs of the six palaces. For example, if the servant needs to approve a batch of cloth, he must apply to Fengluan Palace and obtain the permission of Fengyin before he can go out of the palace to purchase.
.
All things considered, almost no one doubts who this Phoenix Seal belongs to.
But now, the fifth princess from the Jiang Kingdom actually dares to say that the Phoenix Seal is in Concubine Ru's hands.
If it is really in the hands of Concubine Ru, then Concubine Ru will be exempted from the death penalty this time, but she will not be able to escape the crime of living.
The status of the Phoenix Seal is the same as that of the Dragon Seal. If it is in the hands of Concubine Ru, Concubine Ru will be overstepping the mark.
No matter who tries to reason with Concubine Ru, it will not make sense.
Even if Concubine Ru was to help Chen Su act as an agent for the harem government affairs, she could not hold the Phoenix Seal.
Concubine Ru's eyes, which were full of smiles just now, suddenly turned cold, and a chilling chill oozed from her whole body, making those who looked at her shiver for no reason.
"Fifth Princess, you can't talk nonsense." Concubine Ru opened her red lips lightly, but her tone was cold and cold, as if she wanted to push the person into the endless cold cellar, "The Phoenix Seal is not something that can be changed hands at will.
This thing is a symbol of the Queen and can only be owned by the Queen."
Concubine Ru cleared her throat, and the unstable mood that had just passed by calmed down, as if nothing had happened, "I heard that there are no such rules in Jiang country, so I won't be surprised.
I am responsible for the fifth princess for what happened today. It’s just the queen. After all, this is your daughter-in-law in the palace. I hope you can control her more in the future and learn the etiquette of Chen Guo."
After saying that, Concubine Ru stood up with a wave of her sleeves, as if she was going to leave angrily.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huan stepped forward, grabbed Concubine Ru's wrist, and forced her to stop.
Jiang Huan exerted all his strength, and this time it hurt Concubine Ru, leaving a bright red on her snow-white wrist.
Concubine Ru bit her lower lip, her overwhelming anger overflowing, almost wanting to kill Jiang Huan with her eyes.
However, Jiang Huan did not flinch. Instead, he stood forward and said coldly, "Of course I only said this because I have evidence. Feng Yin is on your body right now."
Concubine Ru appears to be easy to get along with, she is always gentle and gentle in her treatment of others, and she never criticizes too much.
It's just that these are just superficial things.
On the eve of Jiang Huan's marriage to Chen Du in her previous life, Concubine Ru followed the army to Jiang State on behalf of Chen's harem concubines.
During this period, she openly and secretly demonstrated that her status in Chen State was higher than that of the Queen. In her words, Queen Chen Su had almost become a dispensable person.
The most important thing is that Jiang Huan spied on Concubine Ru secretly writing a letter at night and engraved a chapter with a phoenix seal at the end.
The next day Jiang Huan informed Chen Du of the matter, and Chen Du told Jiang Huan not to interfere. After that, Chen Du told Jiang Huan that Concubine Ru's secret acquisition of the Phoenix Seal was over.
leave.
Concubine Ru's face was livid, and she desperately wanted to shake off Jiang Huan's hand, but Jiang Huan was so strong that she couldn't move at all.
Jiang Huan restrained Concubine Ru this time in order to prevent her from finding an opportunity to smuggle out the phoenix seal in her sleeve.
The Chen State was a big country, and even if Chen Su did not ask about trivial matters in the harem, he would not easily entrust the Phoenix Seal to others.
In this case, it would be better to just give up the queen's position to others.
It seems that the reason why Concubine Ru was able to obtain the Phoenix Seal was to use the excuse of helping Chen Su correct documents, so that she could deceive others and hide the truth.
"Today I want to see who is going to be disciplined." As he said this, Jiang Huan reached out and tugged on Concubine Ru's sleeve, only to see a purse rolling to the ground.
The moment Concubine Ru saw the purse, the last bit of blood on her face had completely faded away.
She seemed to have all her strength taken away from her, and fell softly to the ground. She had even forgotten about resisting and defending herself.
Even if there is no need to say anything about this situation, everyone understands what is going on.
Concubine Ru was sweating profusely now. It was clearly a cold winter day. She felt like she had walked through the scorching heat and was sweating profusely.
Chen Su slowly stood up and walked to Concubine Ru. She reached out and picked up the purse with a solemn expression.
Without taking it apart to look, Chen Su could already feel out that it was his lost Phoenix Seal inside, and it was indeed true.
It's just that it's been about half a month since the Phoenix Seal was lost. Chen Susheng was afraid of causing trouble by publicizing it, so he had been using his own power in private to secretly investigate and search for it, but he didn't expect to find it under such circumstances.
"Concubine Ru, do you have anything else to say?" Chen Su said calmly.
Concubine Ru could not listen to what others were saying. She knew that she had made a huge mistake this time, so she just kowtowed and begged the Queen to spare her life.
Concubine Ru, who was always dignified and self-respecting on weekdays, today was just crying like a crazy woman, and no trace of the concubine's manners could be seen.
Chen Su stroked the contents of the purse, thought for a moment, and then called the guards, "Take them down and put them in the prison first, let me think about it."
The guards agreed and dragged Concubine Ru out of the palace.
Concubine Ru, who had been like a corpse just now, suddenly gained strength, roared and cursed, all she did was blame Chen Sujiu for occupying the magpie's nest. She had been the queen for so many years but had never taken care of the harem. She had worked hard for many years, and now she only wanted to have a baby.
Feng Yin actually wanted to kill him.
"Chen Su, you have such a vicious heart! If it hadn't been me, if I hadn't helped you, how could you have been -" Before Concubine Ru could finish the rest of her words, she was knocked unconscious by a slap from the guard.
There was movement.
She was like a puddle of mud being dragged away by the guards. The concubines on the other side only dared to swallow their saliva, and no one dared to say anything.
When they looked at Jiang Huan again, their original expressions of ridicule and ridicule turned into fear and respect.
It seemed that the person standing in front of them was not the ugly and short fifth princess in the rumors at all, but the future mistress of Chen Kingdom.
