Chapter 100 Shocking the World

Towards dusk, two ministers walked on the palace path.

Thinking back on what was discussed in the imperial study just now, there was some silence.

After a long time, seeing no one in front or behind, someone spoke up.

"Did you mention the word that Master Xie didn't say at that time intentionally or unintentionally?"

"Who knows this?"

"But I thought that although no one mentioned it at the time, it wasn't just us who heard it, right?"

"Isn't that nonsense?"

"But why hasn't anyone raised it in court?"

"How do you know no one mentioned it?"

The first person to speak had a sudden chill in their heart, as if they were thinking and shaking.

The other person patted him on the shoulder.

As if relieved, he asked, "Since you also heard it, why didn't you mention it in court?"

The person replied, "I feel in my heart that the Marquis's Mansion is too pitiful..."

The other person sighed and said, "Oh, isn't this just a tie?"

The person still couldn't figure it out, "I just don't understand Master Xie. What exactly is it for?"

The other person smiled and said, "What do you think Master Xie is?"

The person thoughtfully said, "In the court, I am a capable minister, a pillar of the country, and I plan and strategize deeply."

The other person said, "Do you think he would say such things to cause trouble for himself?"

The person was stunned.

A normal person wouldn't even think of doing such a thing, let alone Xie Wei, who is exceptionally clever and cunning?

After pondering deeply, I somehow felt a bit cold.

The wind was cold, and both of them put their hands into the sleeves of their official uniforms, gradually approaching the palace gate and leaving.

However, a group of cabinet ministers were still gathered in the imperial study.

As the sky darkened, the lamps had already been lit.

The surroundings were bright and bright, with a bright beam of light shining on Shen Lang's uncertain face. However, his eyes were fixed on the open letters on the table - the letters stolen from the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion!

The several cabinet aides who truly spoke in the court all hung their heads and stood below.

The slightly swaying light caused their elongated shadows on the ground to sway along.

The head of the cabinet, Yan Ting, was already old and had drooping eyelids, feeling a bit tired. Seeing Shen Lang staring at those letters for a long time, calculating that it was almost time for the key to the palace gate, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that no one else beside him spoke. He spoke first, "These letters all come from the connection between the brave and resolute Marquis's Mansion and the anti party relationship of the Prince of Pingnan. Perhaps it was just to cover up, or maybe it was because the Marquis's Mansion was deceived by the anti party. What happened twenty years ago, how could there be such a resolute statement?"

Since Xiao Yuan, Duke of Dingguo, saw these letters while inspecting the Marquis's Mansion, he has been restless. He hasn't slept well for the past few days and nights, so much so that his eyes are covered in red blood, which looks very frightening.

Upon hearing Yan Ting speak, he couldn't hold back and almost immediately took a step forward.

At this moment, there was a hint of anger in his voice: "What Yan Ge Lao said was that the connection between the Marquis's Mansion and the rebellious party was a fact. Twenty years ago, during the siege of the capital by the Prince of Pingnan, my child died tragically under the knife of the rebellious party before the age of seven! The deceased has passed away, and Yan Mu is not unaware that the Prince of Pingnan and the Heavenly Sect rebellious party are the main culprits who caused my Xiao family to die. Even though he knows this, he still conspires with the tiger. How malicious his heart is, and his heart can be executed! These letters are just excuses for his connection with the Prince of Pingnan's rebellious party, but in fact, they are secretly colluding with the rebellious party and intending to rebel!" "

"That's enough!"

Surprisingly, Shen Lang's patience seemed to be particularly lacking today. After listening to the two of them say a few words, he immediately slammed the table with force, his face sinking like water, and his voice emitting a hint of gloom.

"The exchange of letters is best if it is false, but what if what the Prince of Pingnan said against the party is true?"

Xiao Yuan met Shen Lang's gaze, thinking that if the child had not really died, if he had been taken away by the leader of the Heavenly Sect, he suddenly shuddered spiritually in that moment!

In the imperial study, almost all of them were old officials from the court. They had never heard of the palace secret recipe twenty years ago, but they also had their own speculations based on clues.

At present, listening to Shen Lang's words, everyone remained silent and dared not speak.

The cold wind outside was blowing through the window, patting the window paper and sobbing loudly.

The shadows of the crowd were cast black on the wall.

At this moment and here, it doesn't seem like an imperial study for deliberation, but rather like an abandoned ancient temple in the deep mountains. The wind rushes like a mountain ghost crying at night, making people feel that there will be souls that have been sealed in coffins stepping on the ground with blood from the grave to demand debts from the living!

Xie Wei stood quietly in the corner, with the shadow covering half of his figure.

Everyone remained silent.

Shen Lang finally thought of him and turned his gaze to look at him, saying, "What does Mr. Xie think?"

At this moment, Xie Wei lifted his eyes and slightly bowed, but said, "Twenty years ago, I am not very clear about the rebellion of the Prince of Pingnan against the Party. I don't know what the problem is with this letter. I think if it is determined that the Crown Prince is still alive, it is the mercy of heaven to see it. Congratulations to Lord Guo for having news of his love for his son again."

When he said this, Xiao Yuan's face almost turned pig liver color.

The other people in the study room also had different expressions.

But then I thought about it and felt relieved: Xie Wei is a native of Jinling. He lived in Jiangnan since childhood and didn't arrive in the capital until he was twenty years old and rushed to take the exam. Naturally, he was not clear about this old story, and there was nothing wrong with speaking in this way.

===Kunning Section 129===

After finishing speaking, Xie Wei looked at the faces of the others and didn't know if he felt it was inconvenient to say more about this matter. He then changed the tone and said, "However, I think the top priority is probably not to pursue these letters. Today, I saw that the Governor of Beizhen had made a mistake, saying that a group of thirty members of the Tianjiao sect had been arrested in villages and towns around the capital. I don't know how to deal with them."

Shen Lang immediately said, "Well done!"

He stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back in the imperial study, saying, "We will press them into the prison. The Ministry of Justice and the Royal Guards will cross and take turns, and we must extract things from their mouths! It is not a coincidence that the brave and resolute Marquis's Mansion is rebellious and the Tianjiao Rebellion is outside the capital!"

Xie Wei then said, "Yes."

Shen Lang still needs to ask in detail.

But at this moment, a eunuch came from outside and said a few words in the ear of eunuch Wang Xinyi, who was in charge of the Imperial Household Department's seal. Wang Xinyi's eyes widened, and he looked surprised and happy. He quickly asked, "Are you serious?"

The eunuch whispered, "The Grand Hospital has been confirmed to be safe, and only then did the Empress come to report it. Take it seriously."

Shen Lang frowned and asked, "What's up?"

Wang Xinyi smiled and walked up with a brush in his hand, bowing to Shen Lang and loudly saying, "Congratulations to the Holy One! Congratulations to the Holy One!"

Shen Lang was taken aback.

The gaze of the ministers in the imperial study fell on Wang Xinyi.

Wang Xinyi continued on the road, "Empress Dowager Wen Jieyu of the Pixiang Palace is pregnant. She has just been diagnosed with a pulse at the Imperial Hospital. Empress Dowager has sent someone to congratulate you, the Holy One!"

Shen Lang's expression on his entire face changed, with an unbelievable ecstasy. He couldn't help but grab Wang Xinyi hard and ask, "Really, really?"

Wang Xinyi said, "Seriously, can you just go and take a look and believe it?"

At this moment, where does Shen Lang remember any national events?

With a wave of his hand, he walked directly outside the imperial study and said, "Set up the Pi Xiang Hall!"

Surprisingly, he left all the ministers behind and led a large group of eunuchs and palace maids straight to the Pixiang Hall.

The ministers left behind in the imperial study immediately looked at each other, only recalling the news they had just heard, but their expressions were all different.

Xie Wei's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.

The shadow fell on his face, and no one could see this subtle expression.

*

In the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao finally threw the stove heavily onto the table, with no joy on her face after learning that the concubine was pregnant and had saved the child.

Xiao Shu stood below, her face not very good either.

Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "It's just that we couldn't kill three birds with one arrow. Unfortunately, we couldn't even do the most important thing!"

Xiao Shu did not dare to contradict her. She was more or less awed by her aunt. When she recalled the scene in the Plum Garden, she felt a chill in her heart. The faces of the sisters crossed her mind.

She lowered her head.

"I thought Jiang Xuening was the one who was difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect her sister to be the real troublemaker," she said quietly, without feeling too flustered

Empress Dowager Xiao felt a little embarrassed and angry, "You said earlier that the embroidered handkerchief hidden by Jie Er is very likely to belong to Jiang Xuehui?"

Xiao Shu said lightly, "Eighty percent of it is."

Empress Dowager Xiao coldly said, "They are all disasters!"

*

The news of Wen Jieyu's pregnancy seemed to have grown wings, and in an afternoon, it flew throughout the entire harem. Although everyone dared not discuss it openly, their faces looked a bit strange to each other.

The emperor doesn't have a prince yet.

No one can imagine what kind of shock Wen Jieyu's birth would cause in the entire harem if she were to become a man in one fell swoop.

After all, the Yangzhi Zhai where Jiang Xuening and her companions are located is not the harem, so they only know some superficial information. It is said that Wen Jieyu was immediately promoted to the Zhaoyi, and the Holy Emperor bestowed a large number of rewards and sent them to the Pixiang Hall like flowing water. The Grand Hospital was also personally called by the Holy Emperor to teach them a lesson, urging them to serve Wen Jieyu wholeheartedly from now on.

No, it should be called Wen Zhaoyi now.

Upon learning that Wen Zhaoyi had nothing wrong with her pregnancy, Yao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground with a limp leg.

Everyone comforted her and said, it's okay.

Yao Xicai burst into tears again, as if venting.

Jiang Xuehui frowned and watched coldly.

When she returned to her room at night, Jiang Xuehui walked in the same direction as Jiang Xuening.

The palace lamp swayed gently on the corridor in the cold wind.

Jiang Xuening carefully recalled the sensitivity of this sister in the plum garden during the day, and couldn't help but admire that this was the aristocratic young lady taught by Meng. Her mind was really sharp, and she said, "Sister, this time you will achieve your wish."

Jiang Xuehui also realized that her younger sister seemed to have become much smarter than before a few months ago. It was expected that she would see through some things, but she did not feel any guilty. She only said, "Even if I have some intentions, it can still be considered saving a life. If I have a plan in my heart but stand idly by, it is a crime. Now, it can be considered a win-win situation."

She doesn't deny at all that she has ulterior motives.

Jiang Xuening said, "Wen Zhaoyi must remember you. If the Holy One knew about this, he might also reward you. However, you have offended someone like this."

Jiang Xuehui was quite open-minded and said, "Whatever you ask for, you have to give up. In this world, where can everyone get used to themselves? If you offend, then offend."

Jiang Xuening smiled.

Her room was a little ahead and she had already arrived. She stopped and looked at Jiang Xuehui, saying, "I'll wish you good luck then." Without further ado, she pushed open her own door and walked in.

As Jiang Xuening said, it was just noon the next day when a group of eunuchs hurriedly came to Yangzhi Zhai with various rewards, some given by Wen Zhaoyi, while others were commendations from Emperor Shen Lang, praising Jiang Xuehui's intelligence and kindness.

The generous rewards make people's eyes turn red.

However, in contrast, there was another sentence from the imperial edict, which mercilessly rebuked Yao Xi, who was also in the audience yesterday and was also a companion reader of the Yangzhi Zhai. He was timid and lost his composure, almost exhausting Wen Zhaoyi's imperial heir. He ordered her to pack up her things and leave the palace immediately, but instead ordered her to be expelled from the companion reading list!

When Yao Xi, who thought she had escaped a disaster yesterday, knelt on the ground to answer the order, she was completely bewildered.

As soon as the eunuch delivering the edict left, she stood up and took two steps, her head feeling dizzy.

Everyone didn't know how to console themselves.

After all, everyone knows how difficult it is to be selected as a palace attendant. But now he has been reprimanded and expelled from the palace by the imperial decree, and has been spread to the high gate in the capital. It is a disgrace, and his reputation has been tarnished in the future. How can he still get married?!

Yao Xi was in a daze and her footsteps were floating.

Everyone could only see her walking to the door, wanting to raise her foot and cross the threshold, but her body swayed and she fell on her head!

"Miss Yao, Miss Yao!"

For a moment, everyone was panicked and quickly rushed up to help others.

Jiang Xuening, however, was too lazy to do such superficial work and only looked coldly beside her: Yao Xi and You Yue were planning to ruin Zhang Zhe's reputation in order to achieve the goal of withdrawing from the family and causing harm to others. Have you ever thought about what would happen today?

The causal relationship is just deserved.

Her gaze turned away from the crowd, but turned to another person in the Flowing Water Pavilion who had not rushed forward to help others——

Xiao Shu.

Xiao Shu and Jiang Xuening exchanged glances for a moment, but then glanced at Jiang Xuehui, who stood beside the crowd without showing any signs of beauty. With a faint smile on her lips, she said, "Ah Xi's luck is really bad."

Jiang Xuening sneered inwardly, but her face only agreed, "Yes, it's not good."

How could this matter appear so simple on the surface?

When it came to the sachet, Xiao Shu deliberately wanted to get rid of Yao Xi. When appreciating the plum blossoms, Qin Guifei took the initiative to pull Yao Xi away. Soon after, when something happened, Yao Xi's face was not right, clearly wanting to refute Qin Guifei, but I didn't know where to start; Next, Jiang Xuehui spoke up to remind Wen Zhaoyi that she only realized she was pregnant when she returned to the palace.

A carefully planned bureau!

Someone knew about her pregnancy earlier than Wen Zhaoyi. They wanted to get rid of Wen Zhaoyi's child and also wanted to easily get rid of Yao Xi, but they couldn't bring themselves, which may have made the planners of this situation feel a bit frustrated.

Of course, the child in Wen Zhaoyi's womb is fine, which is probably the most troublesome thing for those behind her!

It's just that there are too many implications involved in this matter, and if we delve deeper into it, we don't know how deep it would be.

Jiang Xuening is unwilling to get involved in it.

It's enough for Jiang Xuehui to stir up trouble in this life. She has the right to pretend that she doesn't know anything, only knows how to protect herself and be wary of others harming her.

The palace was really lively for a while.

I heard that Shen Lang had a grand banquet with his courtiers.

This can be considered as the only good news that Jiang Xuening heard amidst all kinds of difficulties: due to bringing Jiang Xuehui into the palace, it unexpectedly changed the fate of Wen Zhaoyi and saved her child. The emperor's mood also did not deteriorate. Perhaps he would be more kind than in the previous life when dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty.

I just don't know if the people from the previous dynasty can seize this opportunity

After all, there are many dangers in the harem, and how long Wen Zhaoyi's child can be saved is still unknown!

One was that Princess Leyang Shen Zhi's clothes were still under foot ban, the other was that Yao Xi had such an accident in Yangzhizhai, and the third was that there was no peace inside and outside the palace in the event of the brave marquis's house. Two days after Wen Zhaoyi was awarded the award, the palace temporarily dismissed the accompanying readers of Yangzhizhai, and let them go home first, and then enter the palace after the foot ban under the Royal Highness Princess.

But only Jiang Xuehui was left behind.

It is said that Empress Wen Zhaoyi instructed Jiang Xuehui to stay at the Pixiang Palace for a few days and talk to ease her mind.

Clearly, this was because the incident at Meiyuan caught Wen Zhaoyi's eye,

Everyone is also envious.

After being fated, they all packed their bags and left the palace.

Others were somewhat uneasy, but Jiang Xuening breathed a long sigh of relief for it. After the others left the palace, they all returned to the mansion. What she remembered was the crisis of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, and she was afraid that it was also the time to use money. With a change of heart, she instructed the carriage driver to take a road to the Royal Guards yamen first.

Today is the day when Zhou Yin is on duty.

As soon as I saw her, I knew her purpose. I personally screened out the idle people and took her to You Fangyin's cell under the guise of visiting the prison.

You Fangyin was reading in front of the sky shining through that window.

Jiang Xuening thought that as usual, she should be reading books, but when she walked over, she found a book called "Journey to Sichuan", which seemed to introduce the customs and traditions of Sichuan.

She was suddenly surprised and said, "Why did you suddenly look at this?"

You Fangyin didn't know many words, so she struggled to read, but she was particularly focused. Jiang Xuening only realized it when she walked over and was startled.

However, in the next moment, a happy smile appeared on my face.

Jiang Xuening had never seen such a brilliant smile on her face before, and for a moment she was still a bit stunned.

You Fangyin bit her lip and said, "Last time Miss Er said, after careful consideration, Fangyin has found a way. If everything goes smoothly, she can leave the Uncle's Mansion in less than two months."

Jiang Xuening was stunned and said, "Are you serious?"

You Fangyin opened her eyes and nodded forcefully.

Jiang Xuening couldn't react and instinctively said, "What's the solution?"

At this moment, You Fangyin seemed to be a bit uneasy, and her cheeks suddenly turned red. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito and said something, "Just..."

===Kunning Section 130===

Jiang Xuening didn't hear clearly: "What?"

You Fangyin finally mustered up her courage and her voice became louder: "I'm getting married."

"..."

Jiang Xuening felt like she had been struck by lightning, her eyelids twitching and she had an ominous premonition.

She couldn't say a word.

However, Youfangyin was afraid that she might misunderstand, so she quickly waved her hand and explained, "Don't worry, I'm looking for the young master Ren from Shu. He's not really married, he's just a fake marriage. I made a contract with him, and we can divorce after we arrive in Shu. At that time, Fangyin will be free to leave the mansion and work for you with peace of mind!"

Make a contract, fake marriage!

Jiang Xuening was stunned and couldn't believe what she had heard: this shocking method might even be the one she knew in her previous life, You Fangyin, who couldn't even think of it! Too bold, too
