Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu went to bed very late and didn't get up until very late.
Lu Tao came over and lifted the curtain. Wei Qinglin was waiting for her outside.
Wen Qingzhu came out after washing and dressing up, walked to the table and sat down: "What's wrong?"
Wei Qinglin, who was in a daze, immediately stood up and said nervously: "Yesterday, General Manager Zheng obeyed openly but secretly caused trouble for Sister Bai. I asked Brother Wei Yu to arrest him directly and send him to the Criminal Punishment Department."
"Well done." Wen Qingzhu took her hand and asked her to sit down.
He said to Wei Qinglin seriously: "I know you are worried about Eunuch Fang. After all, Manager Zheng is the person recommended by him. From the time he entered the palace to now, he has not had any major problems. Except for the matter of sending me a sedan chair privately. It can be said that he has no merits and demerits, and indeed he should not be directly removed from his position as general manager, and he should also be sent to the Criminal Punishment Department."
"Then should we bring him up?" Wei Qinglin didn't expect that he would be so heartless.
But at that time, she saw that Sister Bai almost lost her life. She was so angry that she made a series of decisions this time.
Wen Qingzhu encouraged: "Of course not! Sister Bai is one of ours, but Manager Zheng is not. If he hadn't given me the Luan sedan before, I wouldn't have touched him, but he did and didn't want to take responsibility. In the future, the whole palace will They all need Si Gongtai’s help, just like your mother’s most trusted nanny is not far away to take responsibility, what would your mother do?”
"Send her to Zhuangzi for retirement." Wei Qinglin took a serious look at the situation of the Wei family.
But she quickly shook her head: "No, no! With such a small number of people in my family, it is impossible for one thing to affect the whole body like it is now, and my mother is very smart. If grandma is incapable, she will naturally not use it."
"It's good that you understand this." Wen Qingzhu's face was full of relief, "The reason why Sigongtai used Eunuch Zheng was because there was really no one available. Now that there is someone available, he bumped into him again and committed trouble. Only by handling things strictly can you establish authority for the next manager. I thought you just handled the matter ruthlessly, but I didn't expect you to be so straightforward. You won't be afraid if you meet someone like Pei Dongli again in the future."
"I don't want to meet someone like Concubine Pei again!" Wei Qinglin still expressed great fear, even though she had just dealt with a manager.
Wen Qingzhu touched her head and comforted her: "No, once we deal with Pei Dongli, you won't encounter him again."
"Really? When can I leave the palace?" Wei Qinglin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it okay if the prince ascends the throne?"
Wen Qingzhu turned to look outside: "I don't know, but it won't be difficult for you to leave the palace."
Once Jiang Yuanhan takes the throne and everything stabilizes, things will be much easier.
The day passed quickly, and preparations for the enthronement ceremony and the funeral of Emperor Shunde were in order.
The palace has received a letter, and Jiang Dejia and his wife are rushing back, but they went to another place first.
When Wen Qingzhu arrived at Qianyuan Palace, Jiuzhu led everyone to chant sutras again. '
Compared with before, the inside of the mourning hall was much neater.
As Wen Qingzhu watched so quietly, Lei Xiao's voice suddenly appeared again.
"The princess is also reciting sutras to the late emperor?"
His sudden sound made Wen Qingzhu's heart skip a beat and he turned around to look.
Lei Xiao stood beside her, followed her gaze, and couldn't help but ask: "The princess has been paying attention to this Jiu Zhu recently? Is he related to Prime Minister Pei?"
"Master Lei." Wen Qingzhu turned around and asked him solemnly, "When you show up again in the future, please have someone notify you?"
Lei Xiao looked at her sideways: "What the princess said, it seems that I scared you. Since the princess left last night, I have been accompanying the prince here in the mourning hall."
Wen Qingzhu was speechless for a moment, because she had disturbed him.
Without further rambling, Lei Xiao got to the point again: "The prince and I discussed it last night. It is the best way for the princess to listen to the government."
"Don't worry, Master Lei. Fu Lie will send a message back in three days. He may not be able to catch up with the crown prince's enthronement, but he can still make it in time for the late emperor's funeral."
Wen Qingzhu didn't care on the surface, but he was very concerned in his heart.
Looking at Lei Xiao from the corner of her eye, she really didn't understand why Lei Xiao insisted on asking her to listen to politics.
Didn't Lei Xiao hear all of Jiang Yue's last words
The two of them stood like this, listening to the monk chanting sutras until noon.
Jasmine came over and reported: "Princess, the eldest grandson Shang Gong wants to see you."
"Master Lei, I have something to do here, so I'll take my leave first." Wen Qingzhu turned around and left regardless of Lei Xiao's expression, as if he was taking refuge.
Jasmine was usually not a curious person, but to be able to make her master show such an attitude really made her curious.
So she couldn't help but look back at Lei Xiao.
But she didn't expect that Lei Xiao was also looking at her, with a fear deep in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
Jasmine quickly turned around to follow and said to Wen Qingzhu as she walked: "Miss, what exactly is Master Lei looking for you for?"
"Why did you ask about this?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised.
In the past, Jasmine was a good at snooping for information, and she rarely took the initiative to ask questions.
Jasmine didn't dare to hide it. Her intuition was always very accurate: "I don't think Mr. Lei's purpose is pure."
"Oh? How did you feel it?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help laughing, and Jasmine actually had her own intuition.
Jasmine still wanted to explain, but she met Xiao Fangzi and the prince ahead.
Jiang Yuanhan's face looked very ugly.
She quickly bowed to say hello, and Wen Qingzhu stopped and asked, "Why are you back?"
"Where are you going, sister? I'm going with you!" Jiang Yuanhan was still angry. It seemed that he had encountered another difficult matter in the court today.
Wen Qingzhu pointed to the Qianyuan Palace next to him: "Linlang has something to do with me."
"What does she want from you?" Jiang Yuanhan followed Wen Qingzhu, trying to recall everything related to his eldest grandson Linlang.
As Wen Qingzhu stepped into the palace gate, he replied: "I don't know, but I can guess that for a minute or two, he probably wants to leave the palace."
"Leave the palace!" Jiang Yuanhan suddenly stopped.
Wen Qingzhu took two steps, but when he saw that he didn't follow, he turned back strangely: "Is it strange? She is old enough, and she also has someone she likes. Naturally, she wants to leave the palace and get married."
"She...who does she like?" Jiang Yuanhan became a little nervous.
Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong and walked to him and stopped.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuanhan avoided her gaze and said vaguely: "No, it's nothing. Now I think there is still time to use her, and I want to keep her for two more years."
"Yuanhan, you are lying to me, you must know something." Wen Qingzhu straightened his expression.
When the two people arrived at the house, the eldest grandson Linlang immediately stood up and saluted.
After she finished, she looked at Wen Qingzhu with some confusion: Why is His Royal Highness here
Wen Qingzhu pretended not to understand the look in her eyes and motioned for her to sit down: "The prince is here, I want to tell you something."
"Prince, please speak." The eldest grandson Linlang did not sit down, feeling a little nervous.
Why come to her at this time
Jiang Yuanhan looked at his eldest grandson Linlang. He watched quietly for a while and suddenly asked: "I am young. My father told me to treat you well before his death. I should have let you out of the palace early, but now I trust you in the palace." There are not many people here, so I would like to keep you for two more years."
"Ah?" The eldest grandson Linlang was stunned. Keep her for two more years
She quickly hid her joy and nodded: "Of course I am willing to serve the prince."
Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan looked at each other, something wasn't right
Does she want to stay in the palace
Things were settled like this for the time being. When the two of them left, they met a frowning Angelica.
When he almost bumped into him, Xiao Fangzi couldn't help but started to remind him: "Mr. Gao, be careful!"
Danggui immediately stopped and raised his head. When he saw Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan, he quickly bowed and saluted.
Wen Qingzhu looked him up and down: "Why do you have such an expression? Did you encounter any problem?"
"No..." Angelica denied, but looking into Wen Qingzhu's eyes, she couldn't help but said, "Princess, I shouldn't have bothered you, but do you still have Zijin Pills in your hand?"
"What do you want this for?" Wen Qingzhu thought of Lei Qiniang.
Dang Gui hesitated for a while before saying: "She is the princess of the county. The late emperor has passed away. In a few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne. Prince Ning must go to the fiefdom, and the princess of the county must follow her. But her health is not very good. I decided Send her to Ganzhou!"
"Wait!" Wen Qingzhu stopped him, "Qiniang won't agree, right?"
Danggui smiled with relief: "It was Prince Ning who asked me to accompany him to take care of the princess."
Jiang Yuanhan suddenly asked: "If you leave, who will be the judge of Tai Hospital?"
Angelica held up her hands and explained: "Prince, don't worry, I have made an agreement with Dr. Gan that he will stay temporarily for half a year and wait for me to come back before leaving the palace."
"Didn't Dr. Gan decide long ago to leave the palace after the emperor's death? Is it because he changed his mind?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly thought of his eldest grandson Linlang.
Could this be the reason why Changsun Linlang is willing to stay
Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan glanced at each other subconsciously. Could it be that there was something wrong with Zhao'er's prediction
"What's wrong? Isn't Dr. Gan bad? He is an old doctor who was sentenced by the High Court before. He has sufficient qualifications and good medical skills. He should have been promoted to the post before, but he wanted to leave, so he refused the prince's advances many times. .”
Angelica quickly helped Dr. Gan explain, for fear that the prince would disagree.
Wen Qingzhu replied thoughtfully: "It's okay. Since it's Prince Ning's request, then you can go. The Taiyuan Hospital is not in a hurry."
"Thank you, Princess, thank you Prince." Angelica felt much better and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Looking at his back, Wen Qingzhu suddenly asked: "I remember Zhao'er's injury last time was not serious, right? Why hasn't she recovered?"
She looked at Jiang Yuanhan and found that he was very silent.
After a long while, he turned towards the direction of Qingning Palace: "Sister, you will understand if you come with me."
The two of them arrived at Qingning Palace and soon met Zhao'er.
Zhao'er sat in front of the washbasin stand, tilting his head with disheveled hair, as if he was washing his hair.
"Zhao'er?" Wen Qingzhu walked closer and closer, and found that something seemed wrong with Zhao'er.
Hearing her voice, Zhao'er was so frightened that he immediately turned around, but as soon as her face was revealed, Wen Qingzhu noticed something strange.
Zhao'er's eyes were originally white, but now her eyes turned gray.
She was holding a black thing in her hand, and half of her hair was turning gray.
Wen Qingzhu quickly opened the curtain and went in, only to see Zhao'er quickly saluting.
She immediately stopped Zhao'er: "Sit down quickly! What's going on with you now?"
When he arrived at the table, Zhao'er seemed very scared and didn't dare to raise his head at all.
After waiting for a while, she didn't speak. Instead, Jiang Yuanhan said for her: "Her spiritual eyes have been overused and are slowly getting damaged. If her eyes turn completely black and her hair turns completely white, she will lose her spiritual power."
"What are the consequences of losing spiritual power?" Wen Qingzhu felt bad.
