A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Kong An took it and looked at it, then put his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, this is the prayer scripture written by my master, Master Ci En."

"In addition to wishing the Empress Chen a long life, I also wish that the Great Zhou Dynasty can be stable and enjoy a prosperous and peaceful era."

"I wonder who asked for this? My master rarely agrees to let people write prayers, unless they are extremely sincere."

Censor Chen looked at Su Qingyu suspiciously: "The round fan that Madam Shen San gave to Empress Chen is valuable enough, why would she think of putting this prayer scripture on it?"

"Could it be that Madam Shen San suddenly changed her mind and put the evil object somewhere else?"

"I heard that the Empress Chen and the Emperor met at Prince Ning's residence that day. Did Madam Shen hold a grudge against the Empress Chen because of this and that's why this happened?"

"If it was really Madam Shen San who caused trouble out of hatred, then how did the curse rune end up in the Li family's gift, and how did the things in the Shen family's gift end up being replaced with blessing scriptures? This needs to be investigated in detail."

Su Qingyu thought to herself that the person who had become the Left Censor-in-Chief was indeed a very sharp-minded person.

She smiled and looked at Censor Chen, and asked, "Censor Chen, why do you think that I would hate Concubine Chen because she and the Emperor met in Prince Ning's mansion?"

Censor Chen didn't think much about it and answered without thinking, "Do you even need to ask? Madam Shen San is the brother of Prince Ning, and the Empress Chen almost ruined Prince Ning's wedding ceremony that day. How can you not bear a grudge?"

As the saying goes, even a good horse can stumble sometimes. Censor Chen, who is always cautious in his words and actions, said the wrong thing in his haste today.

Before Censor Chen could react, Su Qingyu said in a stern voice, "Master Chen, what do you mean by this? What do you mean that the Concubine Chen almost ruined the wedding ceremony of His Royal Highness Prince Ning?"

"The Empress Chen entered the palace because there were many vacancies for the position of concubine in the harem, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs screened the young ladies of the right age in the capital. The Empress Chen was selected because of her outstanding talent, learning, dignity and intelligence."

"As for Prince Ning's wedding ceremony that day, although the Emperor and Empress Chen both attended the ceremony, they did not do anything beyond the rules in private."

"What Censor Chen said is to frame the emperor and ruin his reputation. There have been rumors in the capital recently. Could it be that Lord Chen spread them?"

Su Qingyu's words were so powerful that Censor Chen's expression became more and more ugly, and in the end, cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

He was careless and only thought about linking the matter to the Shen family, forgetting to consider the face of the royal family.

Emperor Xuande also looked at Censor Chen with displeasure, "Chen Xiuwen, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Censor Chen quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, but he knew that he had already lost the emperor's favor based on what happened today. He took a deep breath. Since his official career was already ruined, the Shen family would be destroyed today.

In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne and Princess Yongjia will hold great power. As long as he can save his life, he will still have a chance to turn things around.

Censor Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, was not panicked at all. He was thinking over and over again about what to do next.

Su Qingyu glanced at Censor Chen, then knelt on the ground in a serious tone and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Censor Chen just asked me why I put the prayer scripture inside the fan, since it is so valuable."

"That's because in my opinion, no matter how expensive the gift is, it is not as good as my sincere prayers."

"As the third wife of the Shen family, I must give you the round fan. Your Majesty can understand it as giving face to the Shen family."

She said this sincerely, and Emperor Xuande was not displeased at all. Instead, he felt that what she said made sense. Not only her, but everyone present today was trying to save face.

Su Qingyu continued, "As for the prayers for the Empress Chen and the Great Zhou in the round fan, they are the gratitude of this minister and my husband to Your Majesty. My husband often said that the greatest blessing in his life was to meet a wise master when he wanted to do something."

"During the reign of Emperor Ming of the previous dynasty, there were internal and external troubles. Even though there were famous ministers who tried their best to turn the tide, they still could not reverse the decline. Every time my husband reads this passage in history books, he always feels that as a minister, if he can catch up with the Holy Lord's reign, it would be a blessing earned in several lifetimes."

"So the scripture in this fan is not only to bless the Empress Chen with long-lasting blessings, but also to pray for the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I believe that this is also what Your Majesty wants to see the most."

Su Qingyu's words really touched Emperor Xuande's heart. He was now full of thoughts and eyes, but these two things.

The country is stable and the concubine is safe.

If he still had some doubts about Shen Zhixiu before, they had all dissipated by now. Just because Shen Zhixiu had such a reasonable wife, he would not do anything outrageous.

"Get up, Shen Qing has good taste."

Su Qingyu stood up and stepped aside.

A moment later, Zhao Xingchao, the chief clerk of the Honglu Temple, went up to the hall.

This Lord Zhao is a branch of the Zhao family of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. The Zhao family has frequent dealings with the Miao people, and he also learned the Miao language by chance.

After Zhao Xingchao went to the hall, he took the silk paper handed to him by Hu Lu and read it carefully.

Then he said, "Your Majesty, the totem above is the Miaojiang witchcraft totem. Many witchcraft techniques use this totem as the background."

"As for the words on it, I...I dare not say anything."

When Emperor Xuande heard him say this, he said in a cold voice: "Speak, I forgive you for your innocence."

Zhao Xingchao hesitated for a moment, then said, "These are all curses, extremely vicious. I curse the Empress Chen to die young and not be blessed with the emperor's grace. I curse the Great Zhou to be in turmoil from now on, and the people to suffer."

Emperor Xuande's face darkened when he heard this. He looked at Princess Yongjia and Li Chaoyun, "What are you, the Li family, going to do? I demoted the Li family's title and took away Chaoyun's title. Are you taking revenge on me?"

Li Jingchuan and Princess Yongjia could no longer sit still after hearing this, and the three of them knelt in the middle of the hall.

Before Emperor Xuande could punish the Li family, Censor Chen spoke again, "Your Majesty, even if Madam Shen San did not bring evil things into the palace, it is true that Lord Shen has close ties with Miaojiang, and it is also true that he harbors Mr. Zhou who knows witchcraft."

"With Mr. Zhou's status and means, who knows if he will harm the emperor one day?"

Seeing this, the Crown Prince also spoke up, "Father, why don't you check Lord Shen's case first. Lord Shen is the pillar of the country. If he has problems, it will affect the entire Great Zhou."

"As for the Li family's affairs, we can investigate them in detail later. I think it is likely that someone framed them. My aunt is a princess of the current dynasty, and the demise of the Great Zhou will not be good for her."

Censor Chen looked at Su Qingyu solemnly, "Madam Shen San, could it be that Lord Shen has received the news and ran away quietly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome and tall figure suddenly walked into the hall.

"Who did Censor Chen say ran away?"

"You, Censor Chen, accepted bribes and enriched yourself. The children of the Chen family committed many evil deeds and oppressed the people. The members of the Chen family lent money at high interest rates, forcing countless people into desperate situations."

"Even Censor Chen didn't run away, so why should I run?"
