Graceful Dynasty

Chapter 17: The prince's proud horse

Views:

Nan Yushu was not just sitting there doing nothing. Since the Fang family was already in such a mess, he decided to go all out and get all the money. It was said that when the rosewood bed frame was disassembled, the core inside was all gold, which showed how greedy Fang was. To be honest, there are no officials in Beijing who are not greedy. Since he was greedy, he had to act well and be sensible. As a result, Prince Jian tried to win him over, but he pretended not to take sides, offended people, and ended up like this today. It was not surprising.

She stayed at the government office until very late before returning to the East Palace. This was the usual practice in the palace, with the keys locked at 12:00 p.m., but because she had to go in and out, she left the door open and assigned several guards to guard it. Under the dim lights, she saw an official sedan slowly approaching. When the curtains were drawn, the corners of a brocade robe inside almost fell to the ground. The guards hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Su."

Lan Chu was still awake, crouching under the lamp sewing a shoe sole. Seeing her come in, she quickly threw away her needle and thread and opened the lid of the wooden tub to get some hot water.

The testimony of Jinwu Youwei was just a formality, and was dismissed with a few casual remarks. The whole department of the Control Military Division was very busy because of the corruption case. Xinghe took some time to reread the case file of the son-in-law case. He already had an idea in his mind on how to resolve the case.

Xinghe didn't think the time was hard to bear. Coming here today was just a routine. Even if the princess didn't appear, he would still do what he had to do. Over the years, he rarely had time to bask in the sun outside the palace, talk with Lou Yueting, and talk about the interesting things in his childhood. When he talked about the past years, it seemed as if there were mountains and seas between them.

Lan Chu hummed and stared at her.

She got up late today, and when she arrived at the Military Control Department, Nan Yushu had already gone out with his thousand households to do some work. Xu Xingzhi and others stood under the corridor, bored and basking in the sun with their sleeves tucked in. Although the sun was dull, it was warm on the body. He was talking loudly, but when he saw her, he quickly stopped talking and came to greet her seriously, saying: "I climbed up the wall of the princess's mansion last night and saw that the maids in the princess's chambers had moved to the second gate to take up duty. I think they were afraid of ghosts and wanted to keep Princess Xialing company."

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

The brother of the Prince Consort, the brother-in-law of Princess Xia Ling, she had seen him when the Prince Consort suddenly died. This man left a very bad impression on her. He was so arrogant that he was not welcomed by others and had countless enemies in the officialdom.

When he talked about the past years, it seemed as if there were mountains and seas between them.

Sitting on the kang, he just tried to wake himself up. After a long while, the door shook violently. Lan Chu knocked on the lattice outside and said, "Sir, the sun has risen to the height of a chopstick."

Xinghe smiled when he saw him, "Are you really coming?"

Jin Ci sneered, "It's broad daylight, you jump up and let me see. If the princess doesn't kick your intestines out, I will take your surname."

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

As expected, this time, he was still as unrespectful as before. Without even a greeting, the second master of the Gao family strode with his head held high and continued to walk his bird. Xinghe winked at Xu Xingzhi and asked him to take people to follow quietly. Lou Yueting knew what she was thinking. This time, the account must be put on this brother-in-law - adultery between uncle and sister-in-law, murder of the prince consort, this crime is too ugly. Zuo Zhaoyi is not good at educating her daughter. Let alone being the queen, it is good enough for her to keep her current position.

Lan Chu came in with a lunch box, muttering, "You got up in the middle of the night to lock the door? Maybe the wind blew it open, and the cold air came in and froze you?"

Jin Ci sneered, "It's broad daylight, you jump up and let me see. If the princess doesn't kick your intestines out, I will take your surname."

The wind was strong all night, the sound of the eaves and the rustling of the window paper made people nervous even in their dreams. Xinghe slept uneasily and had nightmares all night. She woke up in the morning with a dizzy head. Suddenly she recalled that it seemed that the prince had also made a cameo appearance in the middle. She remembered that she opened her eyes not long after falling asleep, and a big face was poking her eye sockets. At that time, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them up, even if she was beheaded. Later, she turned over and fell asleep again. When she woke up in the morning, she smacked her lips and it seemed to be real.

Lan Chu agreed, "I've had a bowl of cornmeal porridge and half a piece of steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar. It's delicious, so don't worry."

Lan Chu was still awake, crouching under the lamp sewing a shoe sole. Seeing her come in, she quickly threw away her needle and thread and opened the lid of the wooden tub to get some hot water.

She was really tired, not just physically, but also because she had used her brain too much. Look at the time, it's already 11:00, and the people in the Lizheng Palace should have gone to bed, so she doesn't need to serve anymore! She told Dequan when she left that he should assign her the night shifts in the future. As for her, she was too busy in and out of the palace. It would be great if the prince could give an order to let her resign her title of female minister. She really has to take on multiple duties now. She is still indispensable for the chores of the Eastern Palace, and the government has cases to try. In the eyes of outsiders, she is also responsible for warming the bed and giving birth to the emperor's grandson... Tsk, it's really a heavy burden on her shoulders.

Xinghe smiled when he saw him, "Are you really coming?"

She got up late today, and when she arrived at the Military Control Department, Nan Yushu had already gone out with his thousand households to do some work. Xu Xingzhi and others stood under the corridor, bored and basking in the sun with their sleeves tucked in. Although the sun was dull, it was warm on the body.

Xinghe took some time to reread the case file of the son-in-law case. He already had an idea in his mind on how to resolve the case.

She said no, "I have never gotten off the kang."

Lan Chu was still awake, crouching under the lamp sewing a shoe sole. Seeing her come in, she quickly threw away her needle and thread and opened the lid of the wooden tub to get some hot water.

Fortunately, Ye Jinchun had a good eye. He had the sedan chair brought over and said, "My lord, please get on the sedan chair. The princess's mansion is in Gangwa City, and there is Chengzi Road."

She shook the reins, and the tall horses, armors and black hats followed closely behind her. The people walking on the road hurriedly moved aside as if they had encountered an evil star. People who have not stood in her position will probably never be able to feel her glory at this moment. This is the confidence that power gives people, which is thousands of times better than money. She never knew that she enjoyed this feeling so much.

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

This was the usual practice in the palace, with the keys locked at 12:00 p.m., but because she had to go in and out, she left the door open and assigned several guards to guard it. Under the dim lights, she saw an official sedan slowly approaching. When the curtains were drawn, the corners of a brocade robe inside almost fell to the ground. The guards hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Su."

"Why is it so late?" He turned around and asked, "Have you had your meal yet? There are pickles on the table and the chicken porridge is still warming on the stove. Can I serve it to you?"

Lan Chu was still awake, crouching under the lamp sewing a shoe sole. Seeing her come in, she quickly threw away her needle and thread and opened the lid of the wooden tub to get some hot water.

They spoke gently, and several thousand households nearby were confused, wondering if Lord Su had a relationship with the prince. If so, it would be indecent to be openly close to another man! However, they couldn't say it. It was your boss's private affairs, and it would be your turn to interfere sooner or later. Everyone rubbed their noses. Whether Lord Su was in office or not was closely related to them. If the prince dismissed her in anger, wouldn't their days in the Control Military Department be even more difficult

The brother of the Prince Consort, the brother-in-law of Princess Xia Ling, she had seen him when the Prince Consort suddenly died. This man left a very bad impression on her. He was so arrogant that he was not welcomed by others and had countless enemies in the officialdom.

Lan Chu came in with a lunch box, muttering, "You got up in the middle of the night to lock the door? Maybe the wind blew it open, and the cold air came in and froze you?"

However, no matter how glorious the Control Military Department was, Princess Xialing's residence did not buy into it. Asimen leaned out of a gatehouse and looked them up and down. Knowing their origins, he still asked them to wait for a while and had to go inside to ask the princess for instructions.

She shook her head, "I ate and came back." Ye Jinchun served her wholeheartedly. He was afraid that she would not be used to the simple meals in the government office, so he bought some for her and carried her into the government office. She was a noble female official, and naturally could not be compared with those rough men.

There was no need to say anything, it was all obvious. She was very embarrassed, so she turned around to wash her face and put on her makeup, changed into her official robe and put on a warm hat, said goodbye to Lan Chu, and hurried out of the Courtyard.

Lan Chu quickly twisted the towel and rubbed it on her face twice. She put the wooden basin on the footrest, took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the basin, rubbing them while saying, "Soak your feet, you will sleep well at night."

Lan Chu hummed and stared at her.

He glanced at her and said hesitantly, "Can the prince let you leave the palace?"

Fortunately, Ye Jinchun had a good eye. He had the sedan chair brought over and said, "My lord, please get on the sedan chair. The princess's mansion is in Gangwa City, and there is Chengzi Road."

People who have not stood in her position will probably never be able to feel her glory at this moment. This is the confidence that power gives people, which is thousands of times better than money. She never knew that she enjoyed this feeling so much.

"Five more years." She pursed her lips and smiled, "After five years, I will be able to take off the title of Female Minister."

She pinched her brows, felt a headache, and couldn't open her eyes. She said, "Put down what you are doing and go out."

The testimony of Jinwu Youwei was just a formality, and was dismissed with a few casual remarks. The whole department of the Control Military Division was very busy because of the corruption case. Xinghe took some time to reread the case file of the son-in-law case. He already had an idea in his mind on how to resolve the case.

I think they were afraid of ghosts and wanted to keep Princess Xialing company."

Xinghe smiled when he saw him, "Are you really coming?"

"The prince and I..." He had said halfway when he suddenly saw someone coming out of the mansion gate. He was a handsome young man with a dandy air. He was pacing with a bird cage in his hand. Because the servant next to him reported to him in his ear, he turned his head and looked over here.

Lan Chu quickly twisted the towel and rubbed it on her face twice. She put the wooden basin on the footrest, took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the basin, rubbing them while saying, "Soak your feet, you will sleep well at night."

He said it was okay, "I'll be waiting for you in the alley opposite the Princess's Mansion. If anything happens, you can go in right away."

Outsiders may not understand why the Su family, who have had many contacts with Prince Jian's mansion, would stab each other at the critical moment? Because the Su family needs an opportunity to return to the "neutral" position. Huo Qingluan's arrogance is too strong, and more and more people have recently instigated the establishment of a queen. Judging from the emperor's appearance, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on for long. If Zuo Zhaoyi really gets her wish, it will become more and more difficult to control them in the future. Regarding the current situation, the Su family has a thorough understanding of the situation. They would rather support Prince Min, whose mother's family is small, than to support Prince Jian, who is ruthless. Forget about brotherhood, the throne is the real thing in front of the great unification. First, her father and brother will win over Prince Min, and then she will suppress Prince Jian's limelight. On the one hand, she can show goodwill in front of the prince, and on the other hand, she can continue to maintain a balance among the princes. When the time is not yet ripe, balance is the long-term way, otherwise it will not be long before the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked.

As expected, this time, he was still as unrespectful as before. Without even a greeting, the second master of the Gao family strode with his head held high and continued to walk his bird.

She sneered at him, "You dare to kill people, but you are afraid of ghosts to kill you?" She waved her jade arm and said loudly, "Choose someone and follow me."

She let her do what she wanted, and leaned back in a daze, "Master, did you enjoy your meal today?"

She sneered at him, "You dare to kill people, but you are afraid of ghosts to kill you?" She waved her jade arm and said loudly, "Choose someone and follow me."

Xinghe took some time to reread the case file of the son-in-law case. He already had an idea in his mind on how to resolve the case.

She said yes, "but it's not convenient for you to be present when I'm on duty."

As expected, this time, he was still as unrespectful as before. Without even a greeting, the second master of the Gao family strode with his head held high and continued to walk his bird. Xinghe winked at Xu Xingzhi and asked him to take people to follow quietly. Lou Yueting knew what she was thinking.

Zuo Zhaoyi is not good at educating her daughter. Let alone being the queen, it is good enough for her to keep her current position.

She didn't say anything after that. Lan Chu saw that she had fallen asleep, so he quickly tidied up and tucked her into the bed, then tiptoed out and closed the door.

She stayed at the government office until very late before returning to the East Palace. This was the usual practice in the palace, with the keys locked at 12:00 p.m., but because she had to go in and out, she left the door open and assigned several guards to guard it. Under the dim lights, she saw an official sedan slowly approaching. When the curtains were drawn, the corners of a brocade robe inside almost fell to the ground. The guards hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Su."

People who don't know how to be tactful will inevitably die early. Xinghe stood in front of the Moon Cave Gate and looked at the huge bird's nest built on the phoenix tree in the yard. It turned out that not only the phoenix likes to live in the phoenix tree, but also the crow.

The wind was strong all night, the sound of the eaves and the rustling of the window paper made people nervous even in their dreams. Xinghe slept uneasily and had nightmares all night. She woke up in the morning with a dizzy head. Suddenly she recalled that it seemed that the prince had also made a cameo appearance in the middle.

She didn't say anything after that. Lan Chu saw that she had fallen asleep, so he quickly tidied up and tucked her into the bed, then tiptoed out and closed the door.

It was unknown whether Prince Consort Gao was crying or not. The gatekeeper came out at this moment to pass on the message, saying that Lord Su was invited to come in to talk. The remaining two captains wanted to accompany him, but were stopped by the gatekeeper, who replied with a fake smile: "Your Highness, please only invite Lord Su, the Jinyi Envoy, to go in alone. The two captains will wait outside."

She was stunned for a moment, knowing that the rumor was misleading. If anyone else was curious about this matter, she would not bother to pay attention, but that was Yue Ting, she felt that there should be an explanation.

Jiang Chengzi leaned against the wall and looked up, then raised his shoulder to the golden porcelain and said, "Guess if I can jump over in one go without any help?"

He glanced at her and said hesitantly, "Can the prince let you leave the palace?"

The thousand households followed her out of the yamen, with great fanfare. Someone was already waiting at the foot of the stairs, and turned around when he heard the noise. The early winter sunlight cast a layer of golden light on his profile. He had a tall and straight figure, with a belt tightly tied around his waist, and the dark blue satin jacket made him look even more handsome and elegant.

Sitting on the kang, he just tried to wake himself up. After a long while, the door shook violently. Lan Chu knocked on the lattice outside and said, "Sir, the sun has risen to the height of a chopstick."

Nan Yushu was not just sitting there doing nothing. Since the Fang family was already in such a mess, he decided to go all out and get all the money. It was said that when the rosewood bed frame was disassembled, the core inside was all gold, which showed how greedy Fang was. To be honest, there are no officials in Beijing who are not greedy. Since he was greedy, he had to act well and be sensible. As a result, Prince Jian tried to win him over, but he pretended not to take sides, offended people, and ended up like this today. It was not surprising.

This time, they were gone for half an hour, and instead of inviting them to sit in the lobby, they were left standing on the street.

People who don't know how to be tactful will inevitably die early. Xinghe stood in front of the Moon Cave Gate and looked at the huge bird's nest built on the phoenix tree in the yard. It turned out that not only the phoenix likes to live in the phoenix tree, but also the crow.

Knowing their origins, he still asked them to wait for a while and had to go inside to ask the princess for instructions.

But she said no, and asked someone to bring the horse. Seeing this, Jin Ci came forward, knelt on one knee, and folded her hands on her knees. The girl was not very heavy, so she lifted her onto the horse's back with a light lift. She pulled the reins and looked ahead. The snow on the street had been cleared by the city garrison, and there was still some snow in the gaps of the blue bricks. Because of the heavy trampling of the carriages and horses, it gradually became muddy.

She slipped on her shoes, got off the kang, and moved away the bench behind the door. She thought that this silly girl had finally come to her senses and even remembered to open the door for her.

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

She said yes, "but it's not convenient for you to be present when I'm on duty."

Xinghe smiled when he saw him, "Are you really coming?"

Lan Chu was still awake, crouching under the lamp sewing a shoe sole. Seeing her come in, she quickly threw away her needle and thread and opened the lid of the wooden tub to get some hot water.

Jin Ci sneered, "It's broad daylight, you jump up and let me see. If the princess doesn't kick your intestines out, I will take your surname."

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

He said it was okay, "I'll be waiting for you in the alley opposite the Princess's Mansion. If anything happens, you can go in right away."

The testimony of Jinwu Youwei was just a formality, and was dismissed with a few casual remarks. The whole department of the Control Military Division was very busy because of the corruption case. Xinghe took some time to reread the case file of the son-in-law case. He already had an idea in his mind on how to resolve the case.

She got up late today, and when she arrived at the Military Control Department, Nan Yushu had already gone out with his thousand households to do some work. Xu Xingzhi and others stood under the corridor, bored and basking in the sun with their sleeves tucked in. Although the sun was dull, it was warm on the body. He was talking loudly, but when he saw her, he quickly stopped talking and came to greet her seriously, saying: "I climbed up the wall of the princess's mansion last night and saw that the maids in the princess's chambers had moved to the second gate to take up duty. I think they were afraid of ghosts and wanted to keep Princess Xialing company."

She said no, "I have never gotten off the kang."

The girl was not very heavy, so she lifted her onto the horse's back with a light lift. She pulled the reins and looked ahead. The snow on the street had been cleared by the city garrison, and there was still some snow in the gaps of the blue bricks. Because of the heavy trampling of the carriages and horses, it gradually became muddy.

"This uncle and his sister-in-law are not disloyal." Jiang Chengzi looked at the back of Mr. Gao and sighed, "Prince Gao's body is still warm, but he asked his brother to steal his wife away. He must be sitting on the Wangxiang Terrace crying now!"

Lan Chu was still awake, crouching under the lamp sewing a shoe sole. Seeing her come in, she quickly threw away her needle and thread and opened the lid of the wooden tub to get some hot water.

She sneered at him, "You dare to kill people, but you are afraid of ghosts to kill you?" She waved her jade arm and said loudly, "Choose someone and follow me."

She stayed at the government office until very late before returning to the East Palace. This was the usual practice in the palace, with the keys locked at 12:00 p.m., but because she had to go in and out, she left the door open and assigned several guards to guard it. Under the dim lights, she saw an official sedan slowly approaching. When the curtains were drawn, the corners of a brocade robe inside almost fell to the ground. The guards hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Su."

People who don't know how to be tactful will inevitably die early. Xinghe stood in front of the Moon Cave Gate and looked at the huge bird's nest built on the phoenix tree in the yard. It turned out that not only the phoenix likes to live in the phoenix tree, but also the crow.

The people from the Control Military Department came to the princess's house every now and then, and the princess was already fed up with it. It was a pleasant surprise to see them today. Xinghe asked them to be patient, threw the whip to Jiang Chengzi, and followed the nanny who led the way. She had been to this mansion several times. When she passed by the courtyard where the prince consort was killed, she stopped and took a look. The princess and the prince consort did not live in the same house, but their residences were not far apart, so they were not incompatible. In fact, if you ask who the murderer is, thinking about it now, it may not be what you see on the surface. Just like her father said about the party struggle, the prince consort made a mistake in stating his position too early, probably to please the princess, and he spared no effort in supporting Prince Jian.

The thousand households followed her out of the yamen, with great fanfare. Someone was already waiting at the foot of the stairs, and turned around when he heard the noise. The early winter sunlight cast a layer of golden light on his profile. He had a tall and straight figure, with a belt tightly tied around his waist, and the dark blue satin jacket made him look even more handsome and elegant.

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

He glanced at her and said hesitantly, "Can the prince let you leave the palace?"

Xinghe smiled when he saw him, "Are you really coming?"

The brother of the Prince Consort, the brother-in-law of Princess Xia Ling, she had seen him when the Prince Consort suddenly died. This man left a very bad impression on her. He was so arrogant that he was not welcomed by others and had countless enemies in the officialdom.

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

Lan Chu came in with a lunch box, muttering, "You got up in the middle of the night to lock the door? Maybe the wind blew it open, and the cold air came in and froze you?"

"This uncle and his sister-in-law are not disloyal." Jiang Chengzi looked at the back of Mr. Gao and sighed, "Prince Gao's body is still warm, but he asked his brother to steal his wife away. He must be sitting on the Wangxiang Terrace crying now!"

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

She shook her head, "I ate and came back." Ye Jinchun served her wholeheartedly. He was afraid that she would not be used to the simple meals in the government office, so he bought some for her and carried her into the government office. She was a noble female official, and naturally could not be compared with those rough men.

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

Lan Chu quickly twisted the towel and rubbed it on her face twice. She put the wooden basin on the footrest, took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the basin, rubbing them while saying, "Soak your feet, you will sleep well at night."

She pinched her brows, felt a headache, and couldn't open her eyes. She said, "Put down what you are doing and go out."

She let her do what she wanted, and leaned back in a daze, "Master, did you enjoy your meal today?"

He said it was okay, "I'll be waiting for you in the alley opposite the Princess's Mansion. If anything happens, you can go in right away."

Lan Chu came in with a lunch box, muttering, "You got up in the middle of the night to lock the door? Maybe the wind blew it open, and the cold air came in and froze you?"

Nan Yushu was not just sitting there doing nothing. Since the Fang family was already in such a mess, he decided to go all out and get all the money. It was said that when the rosewood bed frame was disassembled, the core inside was all gold, which showed how greedy Fang was. To be honest, there are no officials in Beijing who are not greedy. Since he was greedy, he had to act well and be sensible. As a result, Prince Jian tried to win him over, but he pretended not to take sides, offended people, and ended up like this today. It was not surprising.

She said yes, "but it's not convenient for you to be present when I'm on duty."

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

Lan Chu quickly twisted the towel and rubbed it on her face twice. She put the wooden basin on the footrest, took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the basin, rubbing them while saying, "Soak your feet, you will sleep well at night."

Jin Ci sneered, "It's broad daylight, you jump up and let me see. If the princess doesn't kick your intestines out, I will take your surname."

She let her do what she wanted, and leaned back in a daze, "Master, did you enjoy your meal today?"

Lan Chu came in with a lunch box, muttering, "You got up in the middle of the night to lock the door? Maybe the wind blew it open, and the cold air came in and froze you?"

The guards hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Su."

However, no matter how glorious the Control Military Department was, Princess Xialing's residence did not buy into it. Asimen leaned out of a gatehouse and looked them up and down. Knowing their origins, he still asked them to wait for a while and had to go inside to ask the princess for instructions.

She sneered at him, "You dare to kill people, but you are afraid of ghosts to kill you?" She waved her jade arm and said loudly, "Choose someone and follow me."

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

She sneered at him, "You dare to kill people, but you are afraid of ghosts to kill you?" She waved her jade arm and said loudly, "Choose someone and follow me."

They spoke gently, and several thousand households nearby were confused, wondering if Lord Su had a relationship with the prince. If so, it would be indecent to be openly close to another man! However, they couldn't say it. It was your boss's private affairs, and it would be your turn to interfere sooner or later. Everyone rubbed their noses. Whether Lord Su was in office or not was closely related to them. If the prince dismissed her in anger, wouldn't their days in the Control Military Department be even more difficult

She nodded, stroked her forehead and walked into Xuande Gate.

"Five more years." She pursed her lips and smiled, "After five years, I will be able to take off the title of Female Minister."

Fortunately, Ye Jinchun had a good eye. He had the sedan chair brought over and said, "My lord, please get on the sedan chair. The princess's mansion is in Gangwa City, and there is Chengzi Road."

Jiang Chengzi leaned against the wall and looked up, then raised his shoulder to the golden porcelain and said, "Guess if I can jump over in one go without any help?"

It was unknown whether Prince Consort Gao was crying or not. The gatekeeper came out at this moment to pass on the message, saying that Lord Su was invited to come in to talk. The remaining two captains wanted to accompany him, but were stopped by the gatekeeper, who replied with a fake smile: "Your Highness, please only invite Lord Su, the Jinyi Envoy, to go in alone. The two captains will wait outside."

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

But she said no, and asked someone to bring the horse. Seeing this, Jin Ci came forward, knelt on one knee, and folded her hands on her knees. The girl was not very heavy, so she lifted her onto the horse's back with a light lift. She pulled the reins and looked ahead.

Just like her father said about the party struggle, the prince consort made a mistake in stating his position too early, probably to please the princess, and he spared no effort in supporting Prince Jian.

Sitting on the kang, he just tried to wake himself up. After a long while, the door shook violently. Lan Chu knocked on the lattice outside and said, "Sir, the sun has risen to the height of a chopstick."

She shook the reins, and the tall horses, armors and black hats followed closely behind her. The people walking on the road hurriedly moved aside as if they had encountered an evil star. People who have not stood in her position will probably never be able to feel her glory at this moment. This is the confidence that power gives people, which is thousands of times better than money. She never knew that she enjoyed this feeling so much.

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

The guards hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Su."

She let her do what she wanted, and leaned back in a daze, "Master, did you enjoy your meal today?"

The wind was strong all night, the sound of the eaves and the rustling of the window paper made people nervous even in their dreams. Xinghe slept uneasily and had nightmares all night. She woke up in the morning with a dizzy head. Suddenly she recalled that it seemed that the prince had also made a cameo appearance in the middle. She remembered that she opened her eyes not long after falling asleep, and a big face was poking her eye sockets. At that time, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them up, even if she was beheaded. Later, she turned over and fell asleep again. When she woke up in the morning, she smacked her lips and it seemed to be real.

Jin Ci sneered, "It's broad daylight, you jump up and let me see. If the princess doesn't kick your intestines out, I will take your surname."

However, no matter how glorious the Control Military Department was, Princess Xialing's residence did not buy into it. Asimen leaned out of a gatehouse and looked them up and down.

Nan Yushu was not just sitting there doing nothing. Since the Fang family was already in such a mess, he decided to go all out and get all the money. It was said that when the rosewood bed frame was disassembled, the core inside was all gold, which showed how greedy Fang was. To be honest, there are no officials in Beijing who are not greedy. Since he was greedy, he had to act well and be sensible. As a result, Prince Jian tried to win him over, but he pretended not to take sides, offended people, and ended up like this today. It was not surprising.

The testimony of Jinwu Youwei was just a formality, and was dismissed with a few casual remarks. The whole department of the Control Military Division was very busy because of the corruption case. Xinghe took some time to reread the case file of the son-in-law case. He already had an idea in his mind on how to resolve the case.

Xinghe didn't think the time was hard to bear. Coming here today was just a routine. Even if the princess didn't appear, he would still do what he had to do. Over the years, he rarely had time to bask in the sun outside the palace, talk with Lou Yueting, and talk about the interesting things in his childhood. When he talked about the past years, it seemed as if there were mountains and seas between them.

Outsiders may not understand why the Su family, who have had many contacts with Prince Jian's mansion, would stab each other at the critical moment? Because the Su family needs an opportunity to return to the "neutral" position. Huo Qingluan's arrogance is too strong, and more and more people have recently instigated the establishment of a queen. Judging from the emperor's appearance, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on for long. If Zuo Zhaoyi really gets her wish, it will become more and more difficult to control them in the future. Regarding the current situation, the Su family has a thorough understanding of the situation. They would rather support Prince Min, whose mother's family is small, than to support Prince Jian, who is ruthless. Forget about brotherhood, the throne is the real thing in front of the great unification. First, her father and brother will win over Prince Min, and then she will suppress Prince Jian's limelight. On the one hand, she can show goodwill in front of the prince, and on the other hand, she can continue to maintain a balance among the princes. When the time is not yet ripe, balance is the long-term way, otherwise it will not be long before the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked.

She didn't say anything after that. Lan Chu saw that she had fallen asleep, so he quickly tidied up and tucked her into the bed, then tiptoed out and closed the door.

She said yes, "but it's not convenient for you to be present when I'm on duty."

This time, they were gone for half an hour, and instead of inviting them to sit in the lobby, they were left standing on the street.

She was really tired, not just physically, but also because she had used her brain too much. Look at the time, it's already 11:00, and the people in the Lizheng Palace should have gone to bed, so she doesn't need to serve anymore! She told Dequan when she left that he should assign her the night shifts in the future. As for her, she was too busy in and out of the palace. It would be great if the prince could give an order to let her resign her title of female minister. She really has to take on multiple duties now. She is still indispensable for the chores of the Eastern Palace, and the government has cases to try. In the eyes of outsiders, she is also responsible for warming the bed and giving birth to the emperor's grandson... Tsk, it's really a heavy burden on her shoulders.

Lan Chu agreed, "I've had a bowl of cornmeal porridge and half a piece of steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar. It's delicious, so don't worry."

She sneered at him, "You dare to kill people, but you are afraid of ghosts to kill you?" She waved her jade arm and said loudly, "Choose someone and follow me."

She slipped on her shoes, got off the kang, and moved away the bench behind the door. She thought that this silly girl had finally come to her senses and even remembered to open the door for her.

She said no, "I have never gotten off the kang."

She was stunned for a moment, knowing that the rumor was misleading. If anyone else was curious about this matter, she would not bother to pay attention, but that was Yue Ting, she felt that there should be an explanation.

"Why is it so late?" He turned around and asked, "Have you had your meal yet? There are pickles on the table and the chicken porridge is still warming on the stove. Can I serve it to you?"

Lan Chu came in with a lunch box, muttering, "You got up in the middle of the night to lock the door? Maybe the wind blew it open, and the cold air came in and froze you?"

He said it was okay, "I'll be waiting for you in the alley opposite the Princess's Mansion. If anything happens, you can go in right away."

"The prince and I..." He had said halfway when he suddenly saw someone coming out of the mansion gate. He was a handsome young man with a dandy air. He was pacing with a bird cage in his hand. Because the servant next to him reported to him in his ear, he turned his head and looked over here.

She didn't say anything after that. Lan Chu saw that she had fallen asleep, so he quickly tidied up and tucked her into the bed, then tiptoed out and closed the door.

Xinghe smiled when he saw him, "Are you really coming?"

The thousand households followed her out of the yamen, with great fanfare. Someone was already waiting at the foot of the stairs, and turned around when he heard the noise. The early winter sunlight cast a layer of golden light on his profile. He had a tall and straight figure, with a belt tightly tied around his waist, and the dark blue satin jacket made him look even more handsome and elegant.

The brother of the Prince Consort, the brother-in-law of Princess Xia Ling, she had seen him when the Prince Consort suddenly died. This man left a very bad impression on her. He was so arrogant that he was not welcomed by others and had countless enemies in the officialdom.

Lan Chu hummed and stared at her.

As expected, this time, he was still as unrespectful as before. Without even a greeting, the second master of the Gao family strode with his head held high and continued to walk his bird. Xinghe winked at Xu Xingzhi and asked him to take people to follow quietly. Lou Yueting knew what she was thinking. This time, the account must be put on this brother-in-law - adultery between uncle and sister-in-law, murder of the prince consort, this crime is too ugly. Zuo Zhaoyi is not good at educating her daughter. Let alone being the queen, it is good enough for her to keep her current position.

He glanced at her and said hesitantly, "Can the prince let you leave the palace?"

They spoke gently, and several thousand households nearby were confused, wondering if Lord Su had a relationship with the prince. If so, it would be indecent to be openly close to another man! However, they couldn't say it. It was your boss's private affairs, and it would be your turn to interfere sooner or later. Everyone rubbed their noses. Whether Lord Su was in office or not was closely related to them. If the prince dismissed her in anger, wouldn't their days in the Control Military Department be even more difficult

She got up late today, and when she arrived at the Military Control Department, Nan Yushu had already gone out with his thousand households to do some work. Xu Xingzhi and others stood under the corridor, bored and basking in the sun with their sleeves tucked in. Although the sun was dull, it was warm on the body. He was talking loudly, but when he saw her, he quickly stopped talking and came to greet her seriously, saying: "I climbed up the wall of the princess's mansion last night and saw that the maids in the princess's chambers had moved to the second gate to take up duty. I think they were afraid of ghosts and wanted to keep Princess Xialing company."

Outsiders may not understand why the Su family, who have had many contacts with Prince Jian's mansion, would stab each other at the critical moment? Because the Su family needs an opportunity to return to the "neutral" position. Huo Qingluan's arrogance is too strong, and more and more people have recently instigated the establishment of a queen. Judging from the emperor's appearance, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on for long. If Zuo Zhaoyi really gets her wish, it will become more and more difficult to control them in the future. Regarding the current situation, the Su family has a thorough understanding of the situation. They would rather support Prince Min, whose mother's family is small, than to support Prince Jian, who is ruthless. Forget about brotherhood, the throne is the real thing in front of the great unification. First, her father and brother will win over Prince Min, and then she will suppress Prince Jian's limelight. On the one hand, she can show goodwill in front of the prince, and on the other hand, she can continue to maintain a balance among the princes. When the time is not yet ripe, balance is the long-term way, otherwise it will not be long before the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked.

Sitting on the kang, he just tried to wake himself up. After a long while, the door shook violently. Lan Chu knocked on the lattice outside and said, "Sir, the sun has risen to the height of a chopstick."

"The prince and I..." He had said halfway when he suddenly saw someone coming out of the mansion gate. He was a handsome young man with a dandy air. He was pacing with a bird cage in his hand. Because the servant next to him reported to him in his ear, he turned his head and looked over here.

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

The testimony of Jinwu Youwei was just a formality, and was dismissed with a few casual remarks. The whole department of the Control Military Division was very busy because of the corruption case. Xinghe took some time to reread the case file of the son-in-law case. He already had an idea in his mind on how to resolve the case.

"This uncle and his sister-in-law are not disloyal." Jiang Chengzi looked at the back of Mr. Gao and sighed, "Prince Gao's body is still warm, but he asked his brother to steal his wife away. He must be sitting on the Wangxiang Terrace crying now!"

People who don't know how to be tactful will inevitably die early. Xinghe stood in front of the Moon Cave Gate and looked at the huge bird's nest built on the phoenix tree in the yard. It turned out that not only the phoenix likes to live in the phoenix tree, but also the crow.

Lan Chu came in with a lunch box, muttering, "You got up in the middle of the night to lock the door? Maybe the wind blew it open, and the cold air came in and froze you?"

Fortunately, Ye Jinchun had a good eye. He had the sedan chair brought over and said, "My lord, please get on the sedan chair. The princess's mansion is in Gangwa City, and there is Chengzi Road."

The thousand households followed her out of the yamen, with great fanfare. Someone was already waiting at the foot of the stairs, and turned around when he heard the noise. The early winter sunlight cast a layer of golden light on his profile. He had a tall and straight figure, with a belt tightly tied around his waist, and the dark blue satin jacket made him look even more handsome and elegant.

It was unknown whether Prince Consort Gao was crying or not. The gatekeeper came out at this moment to pass on the message, saying that Lord Su was invited to come in to talk. The remaining two captains wanted to accompany him, but were stopped by the gatekeeper, who replied with a fake smile: "Your Highness, please only invite Lord Su, the Jinyi Envoy, to go in alone. The two captains will wait outside."

Jiang Chengzi leaned against the wall and looked up, then raised his shoulder to the golden porcelain and said, "Guess if I can jump over in one go without any help?"

She pinched her brows, felt a headache, and couldn't open her eyes. She said, "Put down what you are doing and go out."

They spoke gently, and several thousand households nearby were confused, wondering if Lord Su had a relationship with the prince. If so, it would be indecent to be openly close to another man! However, they couldn't say it. It was your boss's private affairs, and it would be your turn to interfere sooner or later. Everyone rubbed their noses.

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

The people from the Control Military Department came to the princess's house every now and then, and the princess was already fed up with it. It was a pleasant surprise to see them today. Xinghe asked them to be patient, threw the whip to Jiang Chengzi, and followed the nanny who led the way. She had been to this mansion several times. When she passed by the courtyard where the prince consort was killed, she stopped and took a look. The princess and the prince consort did not live in the same house, but their residences were not far apart, so they were not incompatible. In fact, if you ask who the murderer is, thinking about it now, it may not be what you see on the surface. Just like her father said about the party struggle, the prince consort made a mistake in stating his position too early, probably to please the princess, and he spared no effort in supporting Prince Jian.

She said yes, "but it's not convenient for you to be present when I'm on duty."

He glanced at her and said hesitantly, "Can the prince let you leave the palace?"

She slipped on her shoes, got off the kang, and moved away the bench behind the door. She thought that this silly girl had finally come to her senses and even remembered to open the door for her.

Sitting on the kang, he just tried to wake himself up. After a long while, the door shook violently. Lan Chu knocked on the lattice outside and said, "Sir, the sun has risen to the height of a chopstick."

Jiang Chengzi leaned against the wall and looked up, then raised his shoulder to the golden porcelain and said, "Guess if I can jump over in one go without any help?"

The wind was strong all night, the sound of the eaves and the rustling of the window paper made people nervous even in their dreams. Xinghe slept uneasily and had nightmares all night. She woke up in the morning with a dizzy head. Suddenly she recalled that it seemed that the prince had also made a cameo appearance in the middle. She remembered that she opened her eyes not long after falling asleep, and a big face was poking her eye sockets. At that time, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them up, even if she was beheaded. Later, she turned over and fell asleep again. When she woke up in the morning, she smacked her lips and it seemed to be real.

He glanced at her and said hesitantly, "Can the prince let you leave the palace?"

Lan Chu agreed, "I've had a bowl of cornmeal porridge and half a piece of steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar. It's delicious, so don't worry."

Jiang Chengzi leaned against the wall and looked up, then raised his shoulder to the golden porcelain and said, "Guess if I can jump over in one go without any help?"

There was no need to say anything, it was all obvious. She was very embarrassed, so she turned around to wash her face and put on her makeup, changed into her official robe and put on a warm hat, said goodbye to Lan Chu, and hurried out of the Courtyard.

"This uncle and his sister-in-law are not disloyal." Jiang Chengzi looked at the back of Mr. Gao and sighed, "Prince Gao's body is still warm, but he asked his brother to steal his wife away. He must be sitting on the Wangxiang Terrace crying now!"

She said no, "I have never gotten off the kang."

He nodded. "This is the first case you've ever taken on. Brother Hai is worried, so he asked me to come over and take a look."
