Concubine Yue Gui stayed in the palace for nearly twenty years. During these two decades, she was favored by the emperor. No one knew that she was a master of martial arts. It is indeed possible to avoid people's eyes and ears, study and transform the secret channels of institutions.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he took over the power by pro-government, and the conflict with the head of the country has deepened. Over the years, there has been a tug-of-war. The pro-imperial faction and the pro-country head faction, under the cracks of the two major forces, Concubine Yue is secretly acting from it, no one will pay attention arrive.
During the court strife, she used the prince as a barrier to set up a protective layer for herself. Under the cover of the prince, she was just a concubine relying on the emperor's favor and the status of the prince's biological mother. Outside the palace, she has her uncle and wife to help her arrogance, colluding with court officials such as An Guogong, Jingyang Hou, the Lin family in the rivers and lakes, and even others.
What others seem impossible to do, after a long time, she can naturally do it with her own ability.
Ye Chang's guess was right, Lin Zhixiao did think of Concubine Yue Gui, he was silent for a moment, and said, "I thought of her, but I don't understand why she set the trap of the news agency on the table of the Guozhang's mansion, If she did this, she would be dead now. She didn't use this mechanism to harm the country's husband's mansion when she was alive, who is using this mechanism after her death?"
Ye Changdao, "The royal family and the state-head's mansion have been at odds for many years. When it was at its most intense, the emperor wished to imprison the queen mother. Unfortunately, the emperor was born weak. When he ascended the throne, he relied on the queen mother and the state-leader. After he ascended the throne, he found out that the country was in charge. The Zhang’s mansion has already grown deep, and he can’t shake the foundation of the Guozhang’s mansion. The queen’s lack of talent and jealousy made him even more annoyed, so he doted on and supported the moon noble concubine. After the crown prince was born, he established the moon noble concubine. The heir will be the prince." After a pause, he said, "In other words, if Concubine Yue didn't do these behind-the-scenes actions, she and the emperor are actually in the same camp."
Lin Zhixiao nodded silently.
Ye Chang said again, "Concubine Yue Gui modified this hidden weapon, perhaps in order to get rid of the head of the country one day, after all, no matter whether it is the queen mother, the queen, or the mansion of the head of the country, they are not happy to see the prince born by Concubine Yue ascend the throne. The emperor used to hate the father-in-law very much. If she used this to get rid of the father-in-law and fell into the emperor's arms, the emperor would not let the emperor pursue him. It's just that she didn't expect that she would die so early and so easily. Her co-conspirators took advantage of her posthumously to do what they are doing today."
Lin Zhixiao pursed his lips again.
Ye Chang looked at him, "The second prince must know who is Yue Guifei's accomplice partner. To know such a secret organ trap, and to be able to activate it in the palace today, must be someone who was very close to Yue Guifei during her lifetime."
Lin Zhixiao shook his head, "I don't know."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Does the second prince really not know, or is he unwilling to say?"
Lin Zhixiao also looked at Ye Chang, and said honestly, "I like Su Fengnuan, not much shorter than you have liked her, and it has been a few years. If you don't believe that I really like her, think that I know how to save her as soon as possible Then you are wrong.” After a pause, he continued, “Even if Concubine Yuegui is my biological mother, I have no relationship with her at all, so after knowing that Su Fengnuan killed her, I'm not that sad, on the contrary, I still regard Mrs. Lin as my mother in my private heart, so I don't hate Su Fengnuan, even if she doesn't like me."
Ye Chang looked into his eyes, although his complexion was not good-looking, but his eyes were sincere, he said, "So, the second prince is telling me that there is no other way except to check the imperial palace inch by inch, such as through Concubine Yue And find her accomplice partner, and find the agency trap as soon as possible?"
Lin Zhixiao shook his head.
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "Where is Patriarch Lin?"
Lin Zhixiao said, "Since the day he entered Beijing, he has been imprisoned in the mansion of the Lin Mansion by me, and he is still imprisoned in the mansion of the Lin Mansion now. After I recognized the emperor, the emperor has not mentioned anything about him." I didn't let him out either. He wouldn't have done what happened today."
Ye Chang asked again, "What about Lin Ke?"
Lin Zhixiao shook his head again, "Since Lin Ke was shot by you with an arrow that day, and laughed for more than a day and night, he was seriously injured. It has only been a few days and he is recuperating in the Lin Mansion." After a pause, he said, " Lin Ke has watched me grow up since I was a child, and he will not do what I don't want to do behind my back." After finishing speaking, he said, "Thinking about Miss Su like this is something I will not do."
Ye Chang looked at him, "What about others? For example, who else in Beijing has a close relationship with the second prince in private? They are capable of handling this matter."
Lin Zhixiao looked at Ye Chang with serious eyes and said, "Does Ye Shizi want me to show the hole card I rely on in Beijing?"
Ye Chang said, "It's all right." After a pause, he said, "I will investigate this matter to the end, and I will know sooner or later. Now asking the second prince is just to save time and rescue Nuaner as soon as possible. If the second prince does not Said, if I track it down afterwards, I will also tear it into pieces, and at that time, if there is something that offends the second prince, I will definitely not be polite."
Lin Zhixiao said with dark eyes when he heard the words, "There is a person who is my reliance in Beijing, but I don't know who he is. You may not believe me when I say this, but facts are facts. I also want to wait for Ye After the crown prince finds out, let's see who he is."
Ye Chang narrowed his eyes.
Lin Zhixiao looked at Ye Chang calmly, "If Ye Shizi believes in me, don't try to find the mechanism directly by taking shortcuts here. This is impossible, because I really don't know. If I know, today's matter will definitely be resolved." It won't happen. Ye Shizi has doubts and presses me at this time, why don't we work together to study the blueprint of the mechanism handed over by the emperor, maybe we can find it as soon as possible."
Ye Chang looked at Lin Zhixiao and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he stopped talking and unfolded the blueprint of the secret road that the emperor gave him.
The two looked at the blueprint of the agency's secret passage together.
The Hall of Shaohua is a palace that is independently located in the Imperial Garden and is the nearest palace to the Imperial Garden.
When Taizu built the imperial palace, he did not build this palace, but later Taizu discovered that there was no palace dedicated to holding banquets in the imperial palace. So the Hall of Shaohua was built.
The location was chosen in the Imperial Garden, because the purpose of this palace is to hold banquets for the officials and their families every New Year's Day. Those who attend the palace banquet can enjoy the scenery of the Imperial Garden in the outer hall.
The closest palace to this palace is the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, the Queen's bedroom, and the palace of the burned Concubine Yue.
The palace of Concubine Yue is now in ruins, and the heavy snow this winter has not been able to cover the charcoal that is everywhere.
Since Ye Chang guessed that Concubine Yue Gui was responsible for the trap of Shaohua Palace, he naturally locked on the palace where Concubine Yue lived before her death. He looked at the blueprint and found that on the blueprint handed down by the great ancestor, there was no secret passage under the palace of Concubine Yue.
He couldn't help frowning.
Lin Zhixiao naturally saw it too, and said to Ye Chang, "The purpose of building secret roads in the palace is nothing more than to avoid disasters when the palace changes one day, the country will be broken, and the family will perish. The emperor is in charge of the country and the world. People like Taizu, especially the ancestors who built the dynasty, he only pretends to be the world in his heart, and the woman he loves in his life is the queen, so naturally he doesn't think about concubines. It's not surprising that there is no secret way under the concubine's bedroom of Concubine Yue."
Ye Chang nodded, "When Concubine Yuegui started to transform the secret passage of the agency, she must have chosen the nearest place to start with. The closest is the best way to change it. It's too far away. After all, the project is huge and time-consuming, especially when you want to know the secret path. Before you realize it, going too far can be very laborious.”
Lin Zhixiao nodded, "So, it's the Empress Dowager's Palace and the Empress's Palace. There are secret passages under these two palaces, so it's possible." After finishing speaking, he pointed at these two places and looked at Ye Chang, "Ye Shizi , if you were Concubine Yue, which one would you choose?"
Ye Chang frowned and said, "The Queen's Palace."
Lin Zhixiao smiled and said, "I guess so. After all, she claims to be smart and thinks the queen is a fool. It is much easier to do it in the queen's palace without anyone noticing it than in the queen mother's palace. Compared with The queen is coming, the queen mother is a shrewd person."
Ye Chang put away the blueprint of the mechanism secret passage, stood up, and said to him, "Go to the Queen's Palace."
Lin Zhixiao also stood up and said, "After all, it is the Queen's Palace, so don't you need to ask the emperor?"
Ye Chang shook his head, turned around and left, and said decisively, "No need, the emperor has handed over the imperial guards to you and me. If such a big event happens, let alone the empress's palace, even the emperor's own bedroom will be fine. We're looking. I can't afford to waste time."
Lin Zhixiao nodded and went to the Queen's Palace with him.
The imperial guards in the palace commanded the emperor's order and waited not far away. When they saw the two getting up and walking towards the queen's palace, they immediately led others to follow.
After the emperor left the Imperial Study Room, he returned to Shaohua Hall.
After the emperor left, the people in the Hall of Shaohua changed from their previous cheerfulness and festivities to becoming extremely quiet.
Sitting in their seats, the Empress Dowager and the Empress were both very worried about Xu Yunchu, and the King seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. They didn't expect that the heir to the Xu family's supporting family they had always cherished, such disasters would come from the Xu family's own raised daughter.
Patriarch Ye, Master Wang, Su Che, and Mrs. Su couldn't sit still in a hurry, wishing they could follow Ye Chang and Lin Zhixiao to investigate. But they knew in their hearts that no matter how many people they went to, if they didn't know the tricks, it would only add to the chaos.
Ye Xi didn't go with Ye Chang and Lin Zhixiao, one reason was because the blueprints of the royal family's secret roads were not easy to be seen by others, and only Ye Chang and Lin Zhixiao knew about such things. The second is that he wants to guard the Hall of Shaohua. As long as Ye Chang and Lin Zhixiao find the switch, he is sure that the trap under the seat of the Guozhang Mansion will be opened again, and he will naturally go down to save people immediately.
