Chapter 333
This is also the question that Wang Guifei is most worried about. Wang Guifei wanted to use the opportunity to eat to inquire about Wang Yanqing's words, but unfortunately Wang Yanqing refused to stay. Concubine Wang's plan failed, and she became more and more uneasy.
In the concubine's palace, the conversation speed was much slower than that of the maid's office. After Wang Yanqing came out of Changchūn Palace, he rested for a while, and then proceeded to the other two palaces after eating. Concubine Du Kang and Concubine Lu Jing had already received the news. They waited in trepidation all morning, constantly inquiring about the news of Changchūn Palace, but they found nothing.
It's not their fault, because Concubine Wang herself is very confused.
Wang Yanqing went to Concubine Kang and Concubine Jing in turn. With the experience in the morning, she speeded up a lot, and finished asking useful people in time for the application.
Today, her questioning area is in the West Sixth Palace, only one corridor away from the Yikun Palace. There is no need for the West Factory to send someone to escort her. This time, Lu Heng personally came to pick her up and asked, "How is it? Are you finished?"
"Almost." Wang Yanqing said, "In fact, the information is only in the hands of a few people, so there is no need to ask all of them. For those little palace maids who sprinkle water and sweep the floor, it makes no difference whether they ask or not. Instead of wasting words, give me one. Locally organize confessions."
Lu Heng looked at the key words she wrote down on the paper, and said, "You don't have to look for a place, let's go to Yikun Palace."
"what?"
"The emperor wants to see you."
It was much easier to meet the emperor this time than last time, and Wang Yanqing was taken to the main hall of the Yikun Palace without much delay. Lu Heng saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this minister brings his wife here to return to life."
Wang Yanqing's head was overwhelmed when she heard it, and her notes hadn't been sorted yet, so why did she have to return to her life? Seeing Wang Yanqing holding a stack of paper, Zhang Zuo clearly brought it over to pick it up. Wang Yanqing hesitated, put the paper booklet on the tray reluctantly, and said, "This is a shorthand note during my questioning. I haven't transcribed it yet, it's a bit messy."
Zhang Zuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Mrs. Lu don't have to worry, it's just a slave-servant to transcribe this kind of thing."
Zhang Zuo held the tray in front of the emperor and stopped it at the most comfortable height for the emperor. Another eunuch opened the page for the emperor, the emperor didn't need to speak, he could enjoy the most congenial service.
Wang Yanqing thought to himself that it was no wonder that there were monsters in the palace. This kind of observational ability is really not something ordinary people can do. The emperor read two pages and was convinced that this was the original, without any modification, and was the most original key word of the idea.
The emperor had heard that Wang Yanqing was good at looking at faces, but he would not believe it easily until he verified it. The interrogation of Xu Xiyue was just a stepping stone. In the past two days, the West Factory reported Wang Yanqing's whereabouts one by one, saying that Wang Yanqing was questioning normally, and then wrote on the paper. The Emperor personally turned over her records and finally determined that she was indeed somewhat unique in recognizing emotions.
The emperor didn't have the heart to continue watching, but the eunuch was sensible and immediately took the things away. The emperor asked, "What did you find out?"
Lu Heng stood on the side and stared straight ahead, not moving. Zhang Zuo raised his sleeves and served on the dragon's side, raised his eyelids, and glanced at Wang Yanqing vaguely.
Her next words, I don't know how many people's fate will be decided.
Wang Yanqing only paused for a short while, then lowered his eyelashes and said, "There is no trace of someone's orders around Yang Jinying. Concubine Gui, Concubine Kang, and Concubine Jing are also unaware of the palace change."
The stillness of the needle falling in the palace can be heard. The emperor paused for a while and asked, "Then why do they have the courage to make trouble?"
Wang Yanqing's voice was equally calm: "I didn't have enough to eat, I got up early to gather dew, and I was forced to take the medicine pill to adjust the moon letter, so I hated the Taoist priest."
Zhang Zuo was too frightened to let out his anger, he quickly glanced at Lu Heng, unable to understand why Lu Heng didn't mention his wife. Can you talk nonsense like this? Zhang Zuo felt that his own head was no longer safe.
The emperor asked again: "Even if you hate it, you should kill the Taoist priest. Why do you dare to kill the monarch?"
"Gao Cheng, a powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, captured Lan Jing, a southerner, and asked him to be his own cook. Because Lan Jing was beaten by the head chef, he killed Gao Cheng at the banquet and Gao Cheng died. What happened in the Northern Wei Dynasty always makes sense when you think about it. Yes. Small people are small, but because they have nothing to lose, they have nothing to fear."
There was no sound in the hall for a long time, as if the air was no longer flowing. Zhang Zuo held his breath in shock, and after an unknown period of time, he finally heard the emperor's voice: "Go down."
Zhang Zuo was granted amnesty, and Lu Heng quietly released his palm. He was ready to plead for Wang Yanqing, but fortunately, he did not guess the emperor wrong.
Everyone knew the reason for the palace change, but no one dared to say it in front of the emperor. But Wang Yanqing did not shy away from it, not even a little bit of beautification, and directly pierced the window paper.
Lu Heng thought that he did take a very dangerous move, and until now, he was not sure that he made the right move.
Wang Yanqing was too bold to say it. But on the other hand, just because Wang Yanqing said this, the emperor did not pursue it. As long as it is replaced by an official, even the most upright and arrogant censor will now have to be in front of the Meridian Gate.
Wang Yanqing was calm and innocent, and did not feel that she had done anything terrible. She turned around with Lu Heng, and only took two steps, the emperor suddenly said again: "Tomorrow, go back to the Qianqing Palace."
Lu Heng, Zhang Zuo and the others stopped and cupped their hands: "Yes."
Chapter 111 Reward
The Yikun Palace belongs to the harem, and the emperor is recuperating in the Yikun Palace, so it is naturally inconvenient for the officials to come in to report matters. Except for Lu Heng and the eunuch, no one has been able to see the emperor these two days.
