Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Since Zhou Dai, who has been in charge of the warehouse, has been injured, and you Zheng Fan are busy with your work, I will never let Qian Gang go.

"How about this, you go tell Zheng Fan to just seal the warehouse and don't worry.

"Things will be smooth sailing if you take it slow!

"I'll go see Grandpa Dai in person and see what he has to say."

Wang Xifeng acted serious and stern.

The eunuch who delivered the message frowned and said, "The Emperor and the Crown Prince have left the palace, and Prime Minister Dai has followed them out. I'm afraid Concubine Liang will not be able to find them for a while!"

Wang Xifeng looked at him deeply and smiled slightly: "The prince left the palace early in the morning, and he went there on his own. I heard that the emperor summoned several royal nobles early in the morning, and then went to visit the queen, and just returned to the Purple Palace.

"What? In just a short while, he took Prime Minister Dai out of the palace?

"If it is true that Prime Minister Dai is not in the palace, then who ordered you to say 'Prime Minister Dai ordered Zheng Fan to temporarily take over the management of the storehouse'? Is there really such a thing as clairvoyance and super hearing in this world?

"Or is it that Zheng Fan ordered you to give Qian Gang a false order, and even deceived me, the concubine of the Eastern Palace?!"

The eunuch who delivered the message changed his expression drastically and stepped back subconsciously!

"Take it." Wang Xifeng raised her hand gently.

Jing Li pounced on him like a hungry tiger!

In the blink of an eye, the eunuch not only had his arms twisted, but his mouth was also tightly gagged.

Especially Chen Duo, who had no idea when he had a rope around his waist. Now he directly tied the eunuch's hands tightly behind his back.

"Let's go to the Purple Palace and talk to Prime Minister Dai." Wang Xifeng's face had become completely gloomy.

From the situation when he met the Crown Princess just now, it can be seen that among the four major disciples of Dai Quan, Zhou Dai is basically a marginalized character.

The other three were headed by Zheng Fan.

Wei Nan talked eloquently, Wu Wei remained silent, but they both followed Zheng Fan's lead.

Obviously, Zhou Dai raised objections just now, but Zheng Fan did not listen.

But just because he didn't listen to advice, do I have to destroy my fellow junior brother?

Was this a grudge against his junior brother, or against himself, the Eastern Palace, or in other words, against Chen Duo...

Wang Xifeng glanced at Chen Duo imperceptibly.

Could it be that Chen Duo had concealed something from me about the incident that happened back then? Was that incident not that simple?

Wang Xifeng waved her hand and called Aunt Meng, "Leave Chunnuan here. You can take An'er back first, along with Ru'er. Don't worry about our own palaces. Just go to the three palaces of Hanliang, Zilan, and Sanqing.

"First, I went to see how the concubines were settled; second, I wanted to remind them that after all, they had just arrived at Daming Palace and were unfamiliar with the place, so they should not believe everything they heard.

"Let them all stay in their own palaces. Unless they are sent by our people or the Crown Princess's side, they should not run around.

"At this critical moment, something went wrong, but there is no place to cry!"

Aunt Meng was startled, her fingers trembling slightly, and she asked her in a low voice: "What does Liang Di mean, there will be trouble?"

"It shouldn't be that serious. But one should never be too careful." Wang Xifeng felt uneasy, and the first person she thought of was Mei Ruoqin. She added, "Aunt will stay in Hanliang Palace to look after Sister Mei.

"If everything is alright, I'll ask Chunsheng to go to Hanliang Palace to find you."

As he spoke, he extended his hand towards An'er.

An'er knew the opportunity, bit her lip, and handed over the long whip. Seeing Wang Xifeng wrap it neatly around her waist, she couldn't help but whispered, "Master, be careful!"

Seeing Wang Xifeng so solemn, Aunt Meng's heart trembled slightly. She closed her mouth tightly, turned around and hurried away with An'er!

Jing Li, Chen Duo and Chunsheng looked at each other, and Qian Gang's face was already as pale as paper!

Several people couldn't help but speed up their pace.

But when she arrived at the Purple Palace, Wang Xifeng looked up and her heart skipped a beat.

Except for a few guards guarding the gate, the number of guards and eunuchs at the entrance of Zichen Hall was obviously reduced by half!

Did His Majesty really leave the palace?

What about Dai Xiang?

Did you follow him?!

While he was hesitating, a eunuch came forward and asked, "Who are you? Why are you coming to the Purple Palace without an imperial decree?"

"I am Wang, the Concubine of the Eastern Palace. I met a eunuch on the road. He was evasive and contradictory in his words, and he wanted to trick me into going to the outer storehouse of the former court.

"I have captured him. I dare not alarm Your Majesty, so I came to see Prime Minister Dai first to ask if there is any misunderstanding."

Wang Xifeng spoke half-truthfully, with an extremely serious expression on her face, even a little surprised.

The eunuch's eyes flashed with contempt, and when he saw the eunuch who had blocked his mouth, he was shocked: "Isn't this Zheng Zongguan's beloved disciple Bian Yun?

"You are so bold that you even dare to tie him up. Why don't you loosen the ropes and take out the handkerchief!?"

Wang Xifeng's face darkened: "You are just a eunuch, a servant in the palace, how dare you scold me, the concubine?

"I would like to ask, who gave you the courage to put a mere eunuch before me!?

"In this Daming Palace, are there still distinctions between superiors and subordinates, monarchs and ministers, masters and servants?"

As he spoke, his hands were already on his waist!

The gatekeeper froze, then suddenly looked back, gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up straight, raised his chin, and shouted in a shrill voice:

"How dare you make a noise and speak nonsense in front of the Purple Palace? You are so bold!

"Fortunately, your Majesty and Prime Minister Dai are not here, otherwise, I'm afraid your heads would have fallen to the ground by now!

"Since you said that Bian Yun deceived you, why don't you hand him over to us? We will immediately order someone to escort him to the Inner Temple and hand him over to the Inner Temple Master Wei Changshi for trial and punishment!

"As for you, haha, the Purple Palace in Daming Palace is His Majesty's bedroom, an important place in the inner court, how can a mere concubine like you trespass?!

"If you don't want me to report you to the Queen and punish you severely, then you should be obedient and go back to your palace and copy your female ring!"

This statement is actually reasonable, legitimate and legal!

Sure enough, there are few fools who can work in a place like the Purple Palace.

However, the news that Emperor Shengping and Dai Quan were not in the palace caught Wang Xifeng off guard.

Could it be that Prime Minister Dai really let Zheng Fan take charge of the warehouse before he left?

In Dai Xiang’s heart, he actually didn’t want himself to take inventory?

Or does the emperor not want the prince to know the details of the inner treasury?

Wang Xifeng's mind raced, and she smiled slightly: "Hand him over to you? That's impossible.

"You keep saying Brother Zheng Fan, I don't trust you.

"But you were right about one thing just now: I am a female member of the family and am under the jurisdiction of the Crown Princess and the Queen.

"The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Eunuchs were rude to me. I shouldn't have confronted you personally. I should have reported it to the Empress and summoned the Ministry of Eunuchs to the Zhaoyang Palace to defend myself!

"I am giving you too much face by coming here in person to argue with you.

“It’s my fault.

"I will definitely change in the future."

After saying that, she turned around beautifully and strode back, "Let's go! Back to Chengxiang Palace!"

Everyone looked alert and followed quickly!
