She really didn't expect that someone would use the most insidious and nasty means in this harem battle on her body.
In the last life, Jiang Xuening was the princess of Linzi when she married, and Shen Jie's house was clean. In the early days of her entry into the palace, her status was stable and she was in charge of the harem. Who would dare to harm her? It was not until Xiao Shu entered the palace that she really began to face a powerful crisis.
But the battle for the throne has never been a battle for the harem.
Both she and Xiao Shu knew that this method of the harem would not affect the overall situation, and it was very unpopular, so the focus of the fighting and wrestling was on the front court, without those small methods that were sinister and sinister, but more bloody and cruel.
But she didn't think that what she had not experienced in the previous life will be made up for her in this life.
Jiang Xuening suddenly felt extremely ridiculed.
But on second thought, if others want to harm you, they have thousands of ways to harm you. Unexpectedly, this catastrophe will come.
Trapped in a sudden and dangerous situation, she instead sank an extreme calm.
Jiang Xuening withdrew the gaze that glanced at everyone, looked at Wang Quan who was holding the page, and said, "This is not mine."
Wang Quan sneered: "It's not yours that I found from your house?"
Jiang Xuening said lightly: "If Eunuch Wang's words are used, my house is in the palace, and this page of paper was found in my house, and it was found in the palace. Who should be counted?"
"Impossible!" Wang Quan did not expect her to become eloquent when she was about to die, and immediately became furious, "I think you can't cry without seeing the coffin! Today, I have to let you know that you are not in the palace and can act recklessly. place! Take her away!"
Jiang Xuening suddenly asked in a cold voice, "What qualifications do you have to escort me away?!"
Everyone around was a little frightened at first, and when they heard Jiang Xuening's sentence was actually openly challenging Wang Quan, they couldn't help showing a look of horror, thinking that she was crazy: Eunuch Wang is the head of the inner palace!
Wang Quan himself did not expect that she would say that she was unqualified, so she couldn't help laughing contemptuously: "This search is the order of the Empress Dowager, and I have already said that any suspicious person in the palace will be arrested! Don't talk nonsense, arrest her first. Be cautious and wait for the empress dowager to deal with it tomorrow!"
Jiang Xuening said, "I'm not from the palace."
Her voice was so calm and insipid that it brought a bit of seductive serenity, and the little eunuchs who were supposed to take her away were all stunned.
Wang Quan was also stunned.
Jiang Xuening looked at him fixedly and said: "I entered the palace to accompany Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the second daughter of Jiang Boyou's family, a third-rank official of the imperial court. She is neither a concubine, nor a palace maid. The Department of Prisons wants to detain me, I am weak. It is difficult for the woman to resist. But please also ask Eunuch Wang to weigh it clearly. If I prove innocence later, what are the advantages and disadvantages in the Department of Prudence and Punishment... "
How could she not know, Shen Xing Si
The living go in and give up half their lives.
Now even his own house has found "anti-thief" things, and when he enters the Department of Prudence and Punishment, God knows what the situation will be! If you get hurt a little bit, and your appearance is broken, who will come out safely
So she must not go here.
Wang Quan has been immersed in this palace for many years, and he has helped many good masters in the palace, and he knows some methods well.
It's just three fires for new officials to take office.
After finally waiting for the unlucky people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was his turn to take the position, and he wanted to take this opportunity to show a good performance in front of the Empress Dowager, which is why such a big battle was created.
But Jiang Xuening was right.
This is not the palace eunuch who has no background at all, but the daughter of the minister of the household.
If she is really against the Party, there is nothing to say, and if she is thrown into the Department of Prudence and Punishment, she will also be thrown into the Department of Prudence and Punishment; but if there is a fight behind this, he will lock Jiang Xuening in without saying a word. They are high above and nothing will happen, but he himself is the one to bear the blame!
Wang Quan is not stupid, he turned around as soon as he thought about it, and only narrowed his eyes to look at Jiang Xuening, like a snake: "Okay! It's the first time our family has done things for the Empress Dowager for so many years. Seeing such a stubborn girl as Jiang Er girl! You said that you don't want to go to the Department of Penalties, and you feel that our family has no power to deal with you, then our family is sorry."
As soon as he waved his hand, Jiang Xuening was released.
Jiang Xuening stood still.
Wang Quan waved his hand again, ordered a small eunuch next to him, and said, "Go, pass a message to the Cining Palace, and say that they are searching for evidence against the party, and they are reading for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. He resisted stubbornly and refused to be detained by the prudent punishment department for the time being, and asked the empress dowager to judge."
The little eunuch led the order and hurried out.
Wang Quan smiled meaningfully, walked in and sat down on an armchair in the left row, glanced at the pale companions around him, and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone, sit down."
Who dares to sit
Hearing Wang Quan's words, not only did he not sit down, but he followed the rules in the hall and buried his head even lower.
Only Jiang Xuening closed his eyes, his face was expressionless, he gently brushed his wrinkled sleeves, and sat down directly opposite Wang Quan.
The companions were simply stunned.
Fang Miao's eyelids kept twitching, only that Jiang Xuening did not make a mistake today.
Jiang Xuening didn't even look at them, and even picked up a cup of tea that had not been finished before, and drank a small half of it calmly.
After less than two minutes, the little eunuch who had gone earlier ran back as if running for his life, panting and said: "Eunuch Wang, the empress dowager has something to say, and you should immediately escort someone to the Cining Palace, and the empress will inquire in person. During Yangzhizhai, the companions and readers should follow along, in case the Queen Mother asks."
Wang Quan said, "Okay."
Only then did Jiang Xuening look up at the rest of the group: when they heard that they were going to the Cining Palace for questioning, most of them panicked. The timid ones, such as Yao Rongrong and You Yue, were trembling, almost unsteady; Yao Xi, Fang Miao and others also showed anxiety and tried to calm down; only Xiao Shu, who was still the most calm of all, just frowned slightly.
At this time, Wang Quan treated Jiang Xuening with courtesy, and even waved at her, but he didn't smile: "Miss Jiang, please?"
Jiang Xuening thought to himself, two moments are almost the same.
She put down the tea cup and got up, without having to be held by the people on both sides, she took a step and walked out the door.
The sky was dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the palace.
But there was no voice at all.
The group of people walking on the road looked depressed and deadly.
At this moment, the Cining Palace was already brightly lit. Empress Dowager Xiao sat high in the main hall with a chilled face. After hearing the news, Empress Zheng lowered her head and sat under her, raising her head from time to time to look outside the palace gate.
Zheng Bao stood behind her with his hands down.
Finally, people came.
If you ignore the slightly chilling and terrifying atmosphere, there is really no difference between the current scene and when Jiang Xuening and others first entered the palace to invite An.
All the people prayed in unison.
Empress Dowager Xiao's face was gloomy, she didn't even call Xiao Shu, she only reached out to Wang Quan below.
Wang Quan immediately bowed and handed the page of "remarks against the party" found in Jiang Xuening's room to her, and said, "I will clean up and search the palace according to the Queen Mother's order, especially those who entered the palace recently. The people in the palace, when they found Yang Zhizhai today, found this thing from Jiang Er girl's room and put it in a book on the desk. "
In the past few days, the Queen Mother Xiao was no stranger to what was said on the paper.
She was not as angry as when she saw Yu Ruyi last time.
But that calm often means more danger.
She even laughed and said, "It's amazing that all the demons and confuses have come to the palace. Jiang Xuening, Aijia asks you, what else do you want to say?"
The old witch also convicted people without questioning indiscriminately like the previous life.
Jiang Xuening knew her virtues well, so she didn't feel surprised, she just bowed again without being arrogant and said, "The servant girl is only a little girl in the boudoir, how could she have colluded with the chaotic party? And the writing on this paper is clearly not my hand. "The words written by the minister's daughter in the Fengchen Hall today can be used for comparison. Please ask the empress dowager to check carefully, although the minister and daughter do not know how this page got to the minister's daughter's room, it is definitely not what the minister's daughter did."
Empress Dowager Xiao said, "You pushed it backwards cleanly."
Jiang Xuening said: "Those who are clean are self-cleaning, and ministers and daughters are worthy of their hearts."
"… "
Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly discovered that the girl's attitude at the moment was very different from the first time she entered the palace to greet her.
She pinched the page, but her eyes sank.
After a pause, he said, "Your father is Jiang Boyou?"
When Jiang Xuening saw the Queen Mother Xiao's posture, she knew something was wrong, her heart froze, and she replied, "Yes."
The Empress Dowager Xiao then said, "Then you Jiang Mansion and Yongyi Hou Mansion should be very close, right? After all, there is no reason for nothing. You and Yan Lin are about to talk about marriage."
Jiang Xuening was shocked!
She suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Empress Dowager Xiao, but she clearly saw the fierceness in her eyes!
Empress Dowager Xiao brushed off all the jade cups in front of the case, and said sternly: "Come here, drag her to the court, and beat her until she is ready, see if she is tough or sticky!"
At this moment, Jiang Xuening finally confirmed—
Something happened in Yongyi Hou's mansion!
It's hard to say who framed her, but Empress Dowager Xiao's actions are to put to death all those who are related to Yongyi Hou's mansion!
The old witch is the old witch!
Jiang Xuening was dead in the last life, and was driven to a desperate situation by this series of incidents, but instead, he went out of his way. Without any fear of his head, he pulled the golden hairpin off his head and held it in his palm, shouting in a cold voice: "Who dares to dare? Move me?!"
The little eunuchs who came to catch her were all shocked by her voice.
Goodbye her golden hairpin is in her hands, facing them one moment before, but next to her neck, almost without breaking out into a cold sweat!
Yao Rongrong and the others even screamed in shock!
Almost all of the companions who came with her hurriedly stepped back!
Even the Empress Dowager Xiao had never seen such a brazen scene, and was frightened: "Bold, what are you doing!"
Jiang Xuening knew that the situation today was extremely dangerous.
This kind of situation aroused the long-buried anger in her heart, not to mention that she couldn't stand this old witch in her last life!
Controlling his remaining sanity, Jiang Xuening stared at the Empress Dowager Xiao and said, "The imperial law dictates that the harem is not allowed to engage in politics! The Empress Dowager and the Empress are certainly the masters of the six palaces, and the mother is in the world, but Xuening is not a person in the palace. , if according to the law, the case involving rebellion against the party should be investigated by the previous court! And Xuening is the daughter of a minister, and should a court case be reported to Jin Yiwei to be imprisoned, or brought to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation and trial. A piece of paper will punish the ministers and daughters, but the ministers and daughters are not afraid of being tortured and suffer, but they are only worried that the empress dowager will end up with a humiliating name, which will make the ministers of civil and military affairs of the previous dynasty uneasy!"
When she said this, her hand was extremely steady.
The sharpest end of the golden hairpin was always aimed at her neck. If anyone dared to approach her at this moment, blood would be splattered on the spot!
Empress Dowager Xiao has experienced the ups and downs of the two dynasties, and also knows that it would be a difficult matter for a minister's daughter to die in the palace so ignorantly.
Jiang Boyu lost a daughter, how could he not do something crazy
She originally wanted to torture Jiang Xuening to recognize something, but she didn't want her to be so fierce. Although she didn't say anything, she threatened her with death in her hand, and even brought out the imperial decree to oppress her!
In recent days, it has been rumored in the palace that the emperor wants to make his younger brother, King Linzi, as the emperor's younger brother, but it has not ruled out the possibility of other vassal kings being established as heirs. The emperor's mind does not seem to be completely settled.
If the vassal king becomes the prince, the queen dowager Xiao will only have a bright face, after all, the vassal king is not from her;
But if Shen Jie was established as the emperor's younger brother, this was still her own flesh and blood, and she was naturally the most prominent empress dowager.
She naturally wanted Shen Jie to be established as the prince.
But her son who was the emperor didn't necessarily think so.
Although Empress Dowager Xiao felt that Shen Lang was filial to herself on weekdays, but the Tian family had no blood relatives, everything related to the dragon chair was very delicate.
After listening to Jiang Xuening's words, she thought more than the words themselves.
She didn't speak for a long time, and then she laughed suddenly, she suddenly relaxed, and sat back on the high throne, only said: "What a tongue-in-cheek mouth, but you can say it right. That's right. Since you are the daughter of a minister, the punishment in the palace can't be imposed on you. Aijia is as you wish!"
There was a bit of gloomy cruelty in her eyes, and she only said to Wang Quan: "I have to go to the Xingbu Yamen, these days they should be busy all night, and before they return to the house, they will call Chen Ying to the Aijia!"
In the case of Yongyi Houfu, Chen Ying made great efforts.
This guy knows each other very well.
It is nothing more than the effort of doing one more scene. Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't care about this time, but she looks at Jiang Xuening and said: "Chen Ying has been serving as the minister of the punishment department for less than half a year, and he has concluded many major cases, so he will definitely not be wronged. you!"
Jiang Xuening did not dare to relax.
Her gaze calmly turned around to where Empress Zheng was, and glanced at Zheng Bao, who was standing behind Empress Zheng.
At this time, Wang Quan's eyes also fell on Zheng Bao.
He made a "go" gesture to Zheng Bao quite naturally.
Jiang Xuening slowly closed his eyes—
This is the case in the palace.
There is actually a case in the inner palace that requires the Ministry of Labor and Penalties, and it is related to the rebellion. This is a big matter, and ordinary little eunuchs will never be sent.
Therefore, there will never be someone more suitable than Zheng Bao in the hall.
I wish he were sharper and understood his intentions.
After Zheng Bao was dispatched, the entire Cining Palace fell silent.
Empress Dowager Xiao only glanced at Xiao Shu at this time and asked her to get up beside her, and also asked others to get up.
Jiang Xuening was left alone to put down the golden hairpin and kneel on the ground.
It doesn't take long to get out of the palace to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment quickly, and it doesn't take long to get the empress dowager's urgent edict.
After half an hour, Zheng Bao brought someone back.
Jiang Xuening had already knelt down to the point where her legs lost consciousness. She knew that the saddest stage was coming, and she knew that Chen Ying was a cruel official. The old witch dared to let him come. She must have something to rely on, so if she really fell into his hands , the end must be even more tragic.
She closed her eyes slightly.
Only a few footsteps could be heard passing by her side, and then there was the sound of greeting Empress Dowager Xiao—
"Chen Ying, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, pays a visit to the Empress Dowager and greets the Empress Dowager!"
"Flat body."
Jiang Xuening's heart was a little colder, forcing himself not to tremble.
Then I heard the voice of the Queen Mother Xiao.
There was a little doubt: "Who came with you?"
The man stood diagonally behind Chen Ying, dressed in a black official robe, even if there were scarlet cloud and thunder patterns pressing down on the corners, it was hard to lose his coldness and indifference. , Zhang Zhe, meet the Empress Dowager."
"… "
At this moment, Jiang Xuening's mind exploded, as if the flood broke the embankment, but wiped out all the existence around.
Head up.
Then I saw the figure standing diagonally in front, cold and thin, as if from a lifetime.
