Chapter 283 He is very steady
Ruyi suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Jinzhong: "Do you really think that this is revenge for my child?!"
Jinzhong seemed very confused: "What does your majesty mean? Although your child is dead, the eldest prince has also had his yellow belt cut off, and has lost his most cherished status and position!"
Ruyi was furious: "What he committed deserves the death penalty! The emperor only lowered his status! How can this be called fairness? How can this be called a life for a life?!"
Jinzhong said softly, "But Concubine Xian, you assassinated the Empress and promoted witchcraft in the palace. Each of these crimes is a crime punishable by execution of all nine clans. The Emperor only lowered your rank and did not kill any of your nine clans."
Ruyi was furious: "How can that be the same?! They didn't die! But I lost a son!"
Jinzhong looked up at her, but because he was standing and she was lying down, this seemingly gentle gaze seemed particularly condescending, full of sarcasm and disdain.
Ruyi was furious: "Did I say something wrong? Jinzhong, you are just having an affair with Wei Yanwan, so you are partial to her and humiliate me for her!"
Jinzhong frowned slightly: "I heard that the queen has a brother who is not very ambitious? I wonder who is more unpromising, the queen's brother or the Concubine Ling's brother?"
Ruyi's breathing stagnated: "...What do you want to do?"
Jinzhong said softly, "I just want to ask Concubine Xian to stop framing me."
Ruyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Jinzhong, how dare you threaten me?!"
Jinzhong's expression remained calm: "Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. You don't get any profit in this palace. If you want to buy medicine or supplements in the future, I'm afraid you will need to pawn your dowry. When the time comes, please distinguish which ones are your dowry and which ones are the emperor's gifts. Don't try to resell the emperor's gifts and embarrass the emperor."
He sighed softly: "The emperor has really endured everything for the sake of the queen. I hope the queen will also take the emperor's reputation to heart and stop causing trouble for him."
How could Ruyi accept Jinzhong's advice? She always claimed that she was the person who loved Hongli the most in the palace, but in Jinzhong's words, she seemed like a trouble-making goblin who caused trouble for Hongli everywhere.
She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Just tell Concubine Ling not to cause trouble! Don't seduce the master! There's no telling how peaceful and quiet this harem will be!"
Jinzhong raised his eyes and glanced at her, his eyes were cool and clear: "Relax, Concubine Xian, you should take a rest. There will be many more hard days ahead!"
Hasn't she always claimed to be the emperor's true love?
But the emperor had completely forgotten about her before. If she hadn't used some tricks to make him sleep with her, how could he still remember her, his beloved concubine?
Since you are so arrogant, then just stay in the Yikun Palace and wait for the emperor to summon you!
He walked out of the main door, put his hands in his pockets and looked around at the door twice.
Sanbao and Lianyun stepped forward quickly: "Eunuch Jinzhong."
They looked so obedient, as if if he asked them to die immediately, these two people would be able to perform a fancy suicide on the spot.
Jin Zhong glanced behind him and said, "Empress Xian is in poor health and has a bad temper. It's best not to go out until she recovers."
Sanbao and Lianyun looked at each other - this is going to imprison Concubine Xian!
The two of them gritted their teeth, and Sanbao forced a smile: "Eunuch Jinzhong, if it is really necessary, I will send someone to report to you immediately!"
Lian Yun lowered his eyes: "Don't worry!"
Jinzhong smiled, looked at the two of them deeply, then took the oil-paper umbrella handed to him by the young eunuch, opened it, and walked into the rainy night.
He had to go out again to verify the evidence and witnesses who provided medicine and food to the eldest prince, to avoid any other accidents.
And the little stool who committed suicide in Yongshou Palace, wrote a letter filled with blood, revealing many secrets about the eldest prince, as well as the things that the eldest prince forced him to do. These must be confirmed one by one, lest someone bring up the past in the future and accuse the master of framing the eldest prince.
Oh, by the way, it would be best to give the eldest brother another helping...
He paused slightly, looked at the heavy rain, and finally suppressed the thought.
This man will die sooner or later. Even if he doesn't die, he is already completely useless. There is really no need for him to leave the hidden danger of killing the prince just for the sake of an older brother.
He still has to stay with his master for a long time.
He must remember Ling Zhuer's words. Anything can be planned and done again, but there must be no accidents to his and her lives. Absolutely not!
He closed his eyes tightly, suppressing the cruelty and sinisterness in his eyes, Jinzhong forced a faint smile again, and walked steadily into the rain. A series of arrangements came out from under the umbrella, and every word revealed stability.
Because of this busy schedule, he was not seen for several days.
It had been several days since Yanwan came back from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, but she still couldn't wait for Jinzhong at night.
She guessed that he must have found out a lot of negative information about the eldest prince, and he might have deliberately not come these days to avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion at such a sensitive time.
The more steady he was, the more at ease she felt.
What she feared most was that he would rely on his rebirth to think he was in control of the overall situation, and then accidentally fall into the abyss.
As long as he could remain so calm and cautious at a time like this, she would not be afraid of anything.
Early in the morning, just as it was light, someone came to invite Yan Wan to go to the Cining Palace.
Yan Wan looked at Aunt Fujia who came to invite her in person and smiled gently and politely: "Aunt Fujia, please come in. Did the Queen Mother get up so early today? You come here at this time."
Aunt Fujia looked at Yan Wan carefully and did not see any smugness on her face. She felt relieved and said respectfully, "The Queen Mother, please come over."
Yan Wan asked worriedly, "Is the Queen Mother in good health?"
Aunt Fujia smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is in good health, and the Imperial Concubine need not worry."
Yan Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "I got some good materials a few days ago, and I made a thin and soft knee pad for the Queen Mother. Aunt Fujia, please wait a moment, I will come back after I get it."
Aunt Fujia's smile deepened: "Don't worry, Madam Concubine. I'll be waiting."
Yan Wan held Chun Chan's hand and walked into the house. Seeing Chun Chan and Lan Cui's worried faces, she chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just that the Queen Mother is afraid that I am ruthless and will do something to the children. But we know our own business. We didn't do anything, so naturally we are not afraid of anything."
Lan Cui had already found the pair of knee pads. She opened the box and checked them. After confirming that there was no problem, she closed the lid again. "Master started making these knee pads a month ago. Could it be that he had already guessed that this day would come?"
Yan Wan chuckled and said, "I already knew that this matter concerns the prince, how could I not make preparations?"
She held the box herself, put on a not-too-thick smile, examined herself in the mirror, and removed a few pearl flowers. Then she told Lan Cui to look after the house and helped Chunchan out.
