If you recruit children, there will definitely be no problem.
But now that the rebellion has been quietly resolved, what other problems are there
Jiang Yuanhan immediately explained: "Don't worry, sister, I will take care of it all!"
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "I know, I will stay in the palace these two days. If you have any questions, just come to me."
The sky was bright and people in the palace were panicking.
Concubine Li died unexpectedly, and Prince Ning's army entered the palace. There were different opinions and rumors spread.
Wen Qingzhu was sitting in the lobby of Sigong Terrace, holding a cup of tea in his hand and blowing gently.
The manager of Sigongtai wiped his sweat and stuttered about recent events.
After listening, Wen Qingzhu didn't take a sip of tea. He slowly raised his head and said with a smile: "So, you haven't been busy with anything these days?"
"Madam, spare your life! Princess Yijia is unmarried and has many things to prepare. Servant... Servant... "
Wen Qingzhu interrupted him: "Eunuch Fang was in charge of this place before, and everything was in order. Now there are not many masters in the palace. Although Concubine Li is the biological mother of Prince Ning, she is also the concubine of the prince. Problems have arisen one after another in Chengming Palace. You think you are the person recommended by Eunuch Fang and I shouldn’t deal with you, right?”
"Madam, spare your life! Madam, spare your life!" The steward kowtowed quickly and hit his head heavily on the ground, causing blood to bleed within a few seconds.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the other stewards in the room. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.
Not long after, eldest grandson Linlang sent a plate of brochures over.
"Madam, these are the recent handovers and personnel changes in the palace."
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and took it over. He looked through it briefly and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Does Changsun Shanggong think there is any problem with this?"
Changsun Linlang answered respectfully: "Most of them don't. It's just that people from Hanbing Palace have asked to leave the palace one after another. Those who didn't leave the palace are either sick or dead. I think there is something suspicious in this."
"No one from Hanbing Palace is alive at the moment?" Wen Qingzhu frowned and looked deeply at the manager of Si Gongtai in front of him.
If she remembered correctly, this manager had a very good relationship with the manager of Hanbing Palace.
"Wei Yu!" Wen Qingzhu felt that now he needed to completely control the palace.
Wei Yu immediately brought people in and listened to the orders.
Wen Qingzhu stood up, looked around the room, and said in a cold voice: "From now on, everyone in the prison palace will be interrogated after listening!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell to their knees.
Wen Qingzhu walked out slowly amidst everyone's begging for mercy.
At the same time, in the dark prison of Qingning Palace.
Kneeling in front of Wan Bin was a woman wearing black gauze. Her voice was as hoarse as dry wood.
"Your Majesty, Xiaoshi was killed by Prince Ning on the spot, but Prince Ning did not take any action against the Crown Prince and Fu Hou. Now Wen Qingzhu also discovered that there was something unusual about the cause of Concubine Li Guifei's death, and now went to Sigongtai."
"Hey, it's such a pity that Prince Ning has such a violent temper. His sister and mother died one after another, but he can still keep calm."
Wan Bin's tone was very regretful, but she quickly adjusted her mood: "Prince Ning is no longer useful. Wen Qingzhu wants to clean up the harem, and I have to stay here for a while. For safety reasons, you'd better leave the palace to hide for a while. , if Chenger’s man comes back, you will listen to his plan again.”
Wan Bin's tone was very calm, and she looked quietly at the woman in black gauze in front of her.
I saw her slowly standing up, her whole body covered with only a pair of frightened eyes.
When turning around, Wanbi suddenly asked: "Do you hate me?"
The woman in black veil quickly turned around and knelt down, her voice full of fear: "I don't dare, this slave."
Wan Bin looked at her silently for a while, and finally said: "I will keep Cheng'er's only child."
The woman in black gauze was suddenly a little excited, but she didn't dare to say anything more, bowed and left.
There was no one walking around in the palace.
The woman in black veil could only wait patiently until dark, then walked to the cold palace from the remote path.
Within half an hour, the woman finally left the palace.
At this moment, she changed her clothes, wore a curtain hat on her head, and carried a small baggage on her shoulders.
His eyes were looking at the former Prince Chu's Mansion.
There was the sound of regular and neat footsteps behind her, and she came to her senses and hurriedly turned forward and disappeared into the dark alley.
Since he had to reorganize the harem, Wen Qingzhu temporarily lived in Ganlu Hall.
After all, Luo Fei is still there, and there are people waiting here, and everything is provided.
She was sitting in the study room in the side hall. In front of her eyes was the booklet sent by the Shenxing Department and Changsun Linlang.
All the problematic areas have been highlighted, pointing to the old people of Hanbing Palace.
There was a knock on the door. Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was still deep in thought, Lu Tao walked quickly to the door and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Fuqin."
Fuqin smiled implicitly and handed the tray to Lu Tao.
Normally she wouldn't look around, but during the day everyone in Si Gong Terrace was arrested. Fuqin had friends at Si Gong Terrace, and she was very worried.
So this time she took a look inside and asked carefully: "May I ask Miss Ye, is Madam still in trouble and can't find any clues?"
Lu Tao's thoughts changed and he asked in a low voice: "What did you discover?"
"One thing, I have a friend named Bai Di, who is responsible for delivering copies to various palaces in Si Gongtai. A few days ago, I found that Chengming Palace's poems are becoming less and less popular. Recently, I have been with Leng Palace. The steward is very close, maybe Madam Leng Gong will check it out."
Fuqin said cautiously, fearing that he might have said something wrong.
Lu Tao's eyes flickered, yes, they have checked everywhere, but Leng Gong has never checked!
She immediately smiled and said: "Thank you very much. When you are free in two days, you can come over and do sewing with me. I heard Luo Fei say that your needlework is very good."
"Yeah! I will definitely come over then!" Fuqin laughed at that time.
As soon as Fuqin left, Lu Tao turned around and told Wen Qingzhu this.
"Leng Gong?" Wen Qingzhu thought deeply and immediately stood up, "Let's go!"
After putting down the supper without eating it, Wen Qingzhu took the imperial troops and rushed to Leng Palace.
When he broke into the steward's residence, he found no one in the house.
Glancing around the room, Wen Qingzhu felt that something was wrong here. No one would come back here for at least one day.
She turned around and ordered the Imperial Army to search every place in Leng Palace immediately.
About an hour later, Wei Yu came back with the body of Leng Gong Steward.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and took a look. He saw that the corpse's lips were blue and purple, his eyes were white, and his whole body was stiff.
He died of poisoning and was dead for at least five hours!
That is to say, this steward was poisoned this morning!
Wen Qingzhu's face turned gloomy, and someone took advantage of him!
After looking at the body carefully for a while, Wen Qingzhu found that there were claw marks on the man's neck.
Judging from the scars, she must be a woman and not very strong.
"woman?"
Wen Qingzhu thought of his time in the Leng Palace. Ordinary palace ladies would never come to a place like the Leng Palace.
At this time, Hei Jiren sent a message, saying that someone had added a refreshing medicine to the medicinal herbs at the Tai Hospital.
Wen Qingzhu looked in the direction of Qingning Palace with hatred. He could be so proficient in pharmacology, and yet he could start from Leng Palace quietly.
Only one person has such a scheming mind.
Wen Qingzhu asked Wei Yu and Hei Jiren to continue investigating, while she took Lu Tao to the dark cell under Qingning Palace.
Standing in front of the iron prison, Wen Qingzhu looked at the woman inside quietly.
Wearing plain clothes, he sat cross-legged on a couch with his eyes closed and his expression peaceful.
"It was you who killed Concubine Li, right?" Wen Qingzhu was the first to break the silence, staring closely at Wan Bin.
Unfortunately, there was no movement from Wanbi for a long time.
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and made a decision in his heart: "At the beginning of April, the emperor will pass away. According to the decree, Concubine Wan Yun will be buried with him."
Wan Bin suddenly opened her eyes, met Wen Qingzhu's gaze, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "This is the best."
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "Don't worry, Madam, this is the Emperor's will. But Concubine Wan was unwilling to be buried. She colluded with the foreigner and was discovered by the Imperial Army. According to the Crown Prince's order, the concubine was cut off from her position and killed with a stick."
Hearing her words, Wanbi's forehead twitched. She didn't mean to deal with her.
But use her to make Cheng'er show up!
Although Yun Wan hid it well, Wen Qingzhu still noticed her nervousness.
Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu felt more and more relaxed: "Believe me, the fifth prince can care less about anyone, but he will never care about you, his biological mother. He wants to hide and plot, but I have to let him show up!"
"Hahaha!" Yun Wan burst out laughing and stared at Wen Qingzhu viciously, "I know best who my son is. Only the throne is the most important to him in this world! Even if it is his biological mother, so what! Success or failure Kou! As long as he wins in the end, I will be recorded in the Jiang family tree as the Queen Mother!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at the almost crazy Yun Wan in front of him, and finally understood why Jiang Yuancheng later became the same person as Jiang Yue.
After all, he has such a mother!
"Then let's wait and see if the fifth prince will come to the capital to save you?"
After Wen Qingzhu said this, he turned around and left.
Yun Wan stared at her back, clenched her palms, and felt filled with hatred.
Why does this woman know Chenger so well!
Why!
Concubine Li's funeral was held seven days later. When the imperial edict came down, Prince Ning's fiefdom was also chosen.
The cause of Concubine Li's death has been thoroughly investigated.
There was a problem in the secret guard camp. One of the secret guards colluded with a woman whose whole body was burned.
She is a member of the Wan concubine, and she is protected by secret guards. She has been working in various palaces.
Through the steward of Leng Palace, he found Xiaoshi from Chengming Palace and secretly added medicine to Concubine Li's decoction.
This gradually aggravated Concubine Li's heart disease. When she was held hostage, her heart disease relapsed and she died.
The secret guard had already killed him, and Xiao Shi was killed on the spot by King Ning.
All the witnesses and physical evidence were destroyed, but the Criminal Division still used indirect witnesses to deduce what happened.
In the Xuanzheng Hall, Wen Qingzhu told Jiang Yuanan the whole story.
He was just silent and didn't speak.
Wen Qingzhu waited for a while, turned his head and looked up, giving Jiang Yuanhan a look.
Jiang Yuanhan then took out the imperial edict and said: "Brother, my father's condition is getting more and more serious. I'm afraid he won't survive until April. If you want, you can let Concubine Li and my father mourn together. What do you think?"
"No need!" Jiang Yuanan raised his head and looked at him calmly, "Still according to the original time, and I want to bury Yijia and my mother in the same mausoleum."
Jiang Yuanhan hesitated: "Concubine Li does not need to be buried together, but sister Yijia is an unmarried daughter. According to the ancestral etiquette, she cannot be buried in the Zhengling Mausoleum."
Jiang Yuanan knelt down without saying a word, shocking Jiang Yuanhan to his feet immediately.
Wen Qingzhu was also extremely surprised.
Before Jiang Yuanhan ascended the throne, he was still Prince Ning's younger brother, and according to the rules, he did not need to kneel.
But now that Jiang Yuanan is kneeling down, it means that Jiang Yuanan has acknowledged Jiang Yuanhan's identity in advance.
Jiang Yuanan raised his hands and begged: "Brother Chen, please make an exception for Yi Jia!"
Wen Qingzhu sighed slightly and walked over to help Jiang Yuanan up.
But he was stubborn and wouldn't get up even if Jiang Yuanhan didn't agree.
Wen Qingzhu could only let go and said to him: "Yesterday, Fu Yu came into the palace and talked about Yi Jia. Do you know?"
Jiang Yuanan did not raise his head, with contempt and hatred on his face: "Without him, Yijia would never have died!"
