Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"What nonsense did my sister say?"

Zhang Yan smiled and wiped away Queen Zhou's tears and said angrily:

"You and I are of the same family. Although Brother Jiong is not my son, how different is he from my biological son?

When I am a hundred years old, Brother Jiong will still visit my grave to pay homage! "

Queen Zhou then burst into laughter and said:

"What sister said is that we are a family."

She frowned and furrowed her eyebrows.

The good old Queen Zhou was also angry.

He immediately asked angrily:

"Is my sister someone suspicious?"

Zhang Yan took out a tissue and wiped her nose.

Then he clapped his hands.

Dongmei handed a piece of paper to Queen Zhou:

"Your Majesty, these are the names of the palaces in the harem listed by my master.

Those with the word "爰" on them have all been circled by the servants. "

Queen Zhou looked up and saw that the first place in the queue was Nuanyang Palace.

There are only four red circles on the entire paper.

In addition to Nuanyang Palace, there are also Aihui Palace, Yuanyaxuan and Ai Youju.

Queen Zhou frowned:

"Sister, this secluded palace is a cold palace, and it is even more empty.

Without His Majesty's will, no one dares to move around with its lantern. "

Zhang Yan nodded:

"My sister said yes, so this one can actually be ruled out!"

"I asked someone to check and found out that there are only two palace maids in Aiyouju who keep clean every day.

For the sake of justice, I have ordered these two people to come over. "

"What my sister did is exactly what she should do to demonstrate the justice of my heavenly family."

After hearing Queen Zhou's words, Zhang Yan shook her head slightly.

How long has it been since this mother-in-law of the world is still so indecisive?

However, it was difficult for Zhang Yan to teach her something important now, so she continued:

"So, our goal is my Nuanyang Palace, Aihui Palace, and Yuanyaxuan."

Queen Zhou said hurriedly:

"My sister's Nuanyang Palace can naturally be ruled out. If my sister can't be trusted in this world, I don't know who else I can trust!"

Zhang Yan laughed:

"Then invite people from these two palaces to come over!"

Queen Zhou hesitated.

Aihui Palace is the residence of Concubine Li Kang.

In this era where filial piety is extremely important, even if Concubine Li Kang is only Guangzong's concubine, her seniority is here to stay!

"Chuntao, pass on my decree and summon everyone from Aihui Palace and Yuanyaxuan Palace to Nuanyang Palace!"

When Chuntao was about to leave, Empress Zhou was so anxious that she quickly stopped Chuntao and tried to dissuade Zhang Yan:

"Sister, have you summoned Concubine Fang from Yuan Yaxuan first?

If Yuan Yaxuan is excluded, it won’t be too late to let Aihui Palace come over to confront..."

"younger sister!"

Zhang Yan scolded with a straight face:

“You have to lift up the queen’s airs!

This huge harem is all under your control. We don’t have a queen mother, and you are the number one!

Not to mention Concubine Li Kang, even if I am the elder sister, I should obey you! "

Queen Zhou was stunned and looked at the furious Queen Zhang with a look of confusion on her face.

"younger sister."

Zhang Yan relented:

"My elder sister is about to retire, how long can I help her?

Sister, it’s time to straighten your spine! "

Queen Zhou's expression changed greatly, and she hurriedly took Zhang Yan's arm:

"What did my sister say? She is still young.

Everything depends on my sister, everything depends on my sister. "

Zhang Yan rubbed the corners of Queen Zhou's eyebrows with her thumb and pulled her to sit down on the main seat.

Chuntao left quickly.

The two little girls from Leng Gong arrived first.

If it is as Zhang Yan said——

The Cold Palace is a place with the strictest rules, and the palace doors are locked all year round.

The two of them never came out that day...

Aiyouju was the first to be excluded.

Not long after, Fang Fei Yuan Yaxuan's eight maids came quickly under the leadership of Fang Fei.

Concubine Fang first bowed to the queens of the two palaces, and then asked:

"Sisters, what happened?"

Zhang Yan pointed to the seat on one side:

"Concubine Fang, sit down and reply first, please wait a moment."

Seeing the serious faces of the two queens, Concubine Fang did not dare to ask any more questions and sat obediently in a side seat.

After a while, Chuntao covered her face with one hand, shed tears, and walked back angrily.

Zhang Yan suddenly frowned when she saw her covering her cheeks with aggrieved expression on her face.

Queen Zhou asked puzzledly:

"Chuntao, what's wrong, where are the people from Aihun Palace?"

Chuntao cried loudly:

“Your Majesty, Master, and slaves have gone to Aihui Palace and want to invite Concubine Li Kang to come over.

Concubine Li Kang asked the reason, and the servant said that she was looking for the maids who returned to the palace to pick up lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

Who would have known that Concubine Li Kang gave the slave a slap in the face and said... and said..."

The left half of Chuntao's face was swollen and her five finger prints were all blue.

"Concubine Li Kang also said that slaves are nothing. If you want people from Aihui Palace to come, you need to go with the emperor's decree..."

Queen Zhou frowned:

"I'll go take a look myself..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a loud noise coming from her side!

"boom!"

The sound made her jump.

Just listen to Queen Zhang's cold voice:

"presumptuous!"

"Sister, there's no need to go!"

Zhang Yan's face was filled with anger and she scolded:

"Undress me and change into formal clothes!

I want to see who dares to ignore my orders from Nuanyang Palace! "

Zhang Yan couldn't help but get angry.

The order to command the harem was given to her personally by the emperor after he ascended the throne.

Although she has always been a good person over the years, she has never taken up this position.

but!

This is the emperor's golden seal!

No matter who is in the harem, the emperor is the biggest in the absence of the Queen Mother.

The emperor's personal orders - no one can disobey her!

Concubine Li Kang was not only insulting her, but also contemptuous of the emperor's authority.

Empress Zhou was afraid that Zhang Yan would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly asked her personal maid Cui'e to go back and get formal clothes.

After the two queens and Chuntao's questions and answers, Concubine Fang had already understood the reason.

She hurriedly said:

"Two sisters, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the one who came back from my palace to pick up the lantern was Yan Yatou.

On this point, Mrs. Shang, the wife of Mr. Wang Zhengwang, can testify for his sister. "

After Concubine Fang said something, Yan Yatou hurriedly walked out from behind Concubine Fang:

"Two ladies, this servant did return to the palace that day. After taking the lantern, he returned to the main square.

The slave girl remembers very clearly that when the slave girl left Yuanyaxuan, she took a special look at the clock given by His Majesty.

It happened to be Shenshi five o'clock. "([-]:[-] p.m.)

Five o'clock in the morning?

The sun is still high!

The time just doesn’t match up!

At that time, the scorching sun was still in the sky, how could Xie Yinglong not see clearly!

This point is different from Xie Yinglong's confession.

However, since everything is under suspicion, we still have to make a clear decision.

Zhang Yan immediately asked:

"When you returned, did you ever pass through Chengtian Palace Square?"

Yan Yatou was so frightened that she fell to the ground and hurriedly explained:

"Your Majesty, you must be aware of this! The three main halls belong to the former dynasty. How dare you, my servant!"

The slaves went back and forth with Xu Ya from Concubine Lu's palace and Lin Dan from Concubine Chen's palace.

On this point, they can testify to this slave. "
