September twenty-nine.

Lin You returned to his life in the front hall of Ganquan Palace.

During this trip to Fuzhou, I naturally found out everything about the Shi family.

The ten crimes listed by the students were all supported by solid evidence!

What Lin You actually found was much more shocking than what the students said.

After hearing his reply, Lu Zhaolin's face was so cold that it could freeze: "These aristocratic families, one by one, really regard themselves as local emperors!

Even though I, the true emperor, remember to cherish my people, they are eager to break their bones and suck out their marrow! "

Having said this, he slapped his hand heavily on the table.

Lin You cupped his fists and bowed in salute: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Lu Zhaolin took a moment to calm down and said, "Get back on your feet, this is not your fault."

Lin You stood up straight.

Lu Zhaolin asked again: "Did you get everything you should get? Did you get everyone you should get?"

Lin You nodded and explained everything clearly: "We are all ready and can attack them at any time."

"Let's wait for one more day and let the imperial concubine celebrate her birthday."

This time, he originally only planned to take action against the Fuzhou Shi family. As for the imperial concubine’s natal family, the Han family, we can still check it out and find out more things.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi's people came to Beijing for activities, they came to the door of the British government. Box after box of belongings were carried in, and people from the Han family spared no effort to speak for the Shi family in the court.

This gave Lu Zhaolin the opportunity to take action.

However, after all, the imperial concubine had been by his side for many years and had a deep affection for him.

With this in mind, we might as well let the imperial concubine pass this time before attacking her natal family.

Just when he thought of this, he saw Lin You's expression moved slightly.

Lu Zhaolin sensitively caught his expression and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Lin You said: "Your Majesty, are there any unexpected gains from this trip?"

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the helper named Bai San'er?"

Lu Zhaolin narrowed his eyes slightly: "The one who hooked up with Du Wenpo's husband to gamble? Have you found him?"

This Du Wenpo was the one who was found to have medicine hidden in her fingernails when Jiang Shiying was giving birth.

She bit her tongue and committed suicide before the trial started before the Criminal Division began.

Wu Desi conducted a detailed investigation outside the palace and only found Bai San'er, the helper. But in the end, it was a step too late and failed to catch the person.

Lu Zhaolin always kept this matter in mind.

Now this sudden situation has another clue?

"Exactly!" Lin You nodded: "Not only did he find it, he was also interrogated strictly."

"Who is the person behind him?"

"It's the British government."

"The British Duke's residence? The imperial concubine's natal family?"

Lin You nodded.

Lu Zhaolin closed his eyes. After a long while, I saw his eyelids slightly raised, his eyes full of seriousness: "She is really my good concubine."

If Aunt Wan hadn't been wise and if Ah Ying's palace maid hadn't been clever, I'm afraid Ah Ying would have fallen into her trap when she gave birth.

Tomorrow was a good day, and he originally wanted to tolerate the Han family for one more day because of their friendship over the years.

Now it seems that it is better to take advantage of this good day and settle all the old and new accounts together.

···

September 30th, the imperial concubine’s birthday.

When Jiang Shiying and others arrived at Xianfu Palace, they only had time for a cup of tea before leaving the banquet.

There were two tables in the small flower hall, one for the host ladies and one for the mistresses.

The beauty is still in confinement, and the concubine Yu is about to give birth and cannot leave the palace. Apart from these two people, Jiang Shiying was the only one who had not sat down at the table.

The imperial concubine greeted her and exchanged greetings, then held her hand affectionately and joked: "I have been looking forward to my sister Chen Fei all morning. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but I haven't seen my sister. I thought that my sister is going to be happy with me today." There’s an appointment.”

One sister at a time, this is to verbally suppress Jiang Shiying.

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows. The imperial concubine likes to call her sister, so let her call her twice. Anyway, it won’t last for a few more days.

It's just that the concubine's words were accusing her of being late. Jiang Shiying didn't like hearing this.

There was no displeasure on her face: "I still think that the imperial concubine doesn't like to see me. I heard what the imperial concubine meant. Am I wrong?"

The imperial concubine took her hand and walked inside: "What are you talking about, sister? When did I no longer like to see my sister?"

Jiang Shiying covered her lips and smiled: "A few days ago, the imperial concubine invited people to listen to a play at the Qingyin Terrace. Among the sisters in the palace, I was the only one who was not invited.

Even Concubine Fang and Concubine Ning were sitting in Jingyang Palace, and Xianyue actually came to invite them. I thought that the imperial concubine was trying to get the sisters to exclude me. "

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the little flower hall instantly became cold.

Who doesn’t know what happened on the day of the opera?

First, the imperial concubine's eldest maid was slapped in the face in Jingyang Palace, and then the imperial concubine slapped Yi Meiren's child away, and then went to Ganquan Palace and knelt for nearly two hours.

Although His Majesty's punishment may not be severe, it is not a good thing after all.

Everyone secretly thought that Concubine Chen was indeed not someone to be trifled with. The imperial concubine secretly said that she was late, so she used what happened on the day of the opera to stab the imperial concubine.

I don’t know if the noble concubine will endure this tone or will she confront Concubine Chen?

The imperial concubine was so angry that she didn't know why, but she suppressed the fire in her chest and said in a good voice: "Good sister, don't mention what happened that day. This girl Xianyue is not considerate enough in her work. I have already I have punished her. My sister will give me a thin face and spare her this time."

Although these words put the fault on Xianyue's head, they also admitted in disguise that it was Xianfu Palace's fault.

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows. After all, today was a good day for the imperial concubine, so he just stabbed her and stopped holding on to her.

Concubine Jing and others were there to smooth things over again, and the atmosphere quickly became cheerful again.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, we suddenly heard the little eunuch singing loudly from outside - "Your Majesty is here."

The imperial concubine's face was full of surprise, and she stood up with everyone to greet him.

After seeing the ceremony, she walked up to Lu Zhaolin, took his arm, and said in a coquettish tone: "The banquet is already halfway over, and I don't think I'm your majesty anymore."

Lu Zhaolin patted her hand: "It's rare for you to celebrate your birthday, so naturally I want to come and visit."

The smile on the imperial concubine's face became even brighter. She glanced at the leftovers on the table, and then looked at Lu Zhaolin with a smile: "I asked them to prepare good wine and delicious food again?"

Lu Zhaolin used a little force and pulled out his arm: "No need to bother."

The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, then forced herself to smile and said, "What's the trouble?"

After saying that, he told Xianyun to go to the small kitchen and keep an eye on it.

Lu Zhaolin sat down at the top, and the imperial concubine poured the wine herself to toast him.

Lu Zhaolin took the wine glass, but did not drink it, but played with it in his hand.

The imperial concubine was about to say something when she saw him curling her lips and slowly speaking: "During court this morning, a rare incident was reported outside."

The imperial concubine tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes full of affection: "I don't know what is so rare. Your Majesty, can you tell me about it to your concubines?"

"Of course you can." Lu Zhaolin chuckled and squinted at her: "This matter has something to do with you."

"Oh? When Your Majesty said this, I became more and more curious."
