Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chen Duo lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Qing, for your advice.

“But I still want to check.

"What if someone framed the late queen?

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince respects the late Queen, we must not let her take the blame for others for no reason."

Seeing him being so stubborn, Qing Hai sighed, but was relieved, and put his arm around his shoulder affectionately: "You do have a point.

"Okay! You check first, and if there's anything you can do to help me, just let me know!

"You are a sincere and honest person. I, Qinghai, want to be your friend!"

Chen Duo smiled, said he was not worthy of the honor, and personally escorted Qinghai out.

When they reached the entrance of the Criminal Court, Qing Hai suddenly stopped, looked around, and whispered to him:

"I remembered something!

"Haven't you been going to Chengxiang Palace quite often recently?

"Someone is accusing you in front of the prince!

"They said you don't know your true master, you're colluding with the harem, you're ambitious, etc..."

Chen Duo laughed: "Don't you think His Royal Highness knows exactly why I went to Chengxiang Palace? This complaint is so boring!"

"You are wrong." Qing Hai whispered, "This is to plant the seed of your 'disloyalty' in the prince's heart;

"Secondly, I tied you and Wang Liang Di together in front of the Crown Prince!

“Think about it yourself. If everyone thinks you are Wang Liangdi’s person, then when someone wants to deal with Wang Liangdi and sees you on the road, will they kick you?

"And will the people you, Chen Duo, have offended also vent their anger on Wang Liangdi when they confront her?"

Chen Duo frowned: "Is there someone who doesn't like Wang Liang Di?"

"Wang Liang Di is capable, bright and beautiful, and is valued by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. There will be three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines in the back palace, and not a single one will like her!"

After Qinghai said this, he gave Chen Duo a look that said "take care of yourself" and then left.

Chen Duo returned to the Criminal Justice Department and sat there for a while with a wooden face before calling someone over and asking:

“Eunuch Xia of Lizheng Palace had deployed some people outside in his early years and had been keeping an eye on the movements of Jia Wang, Shi Xue.

"Has any special news been delivered during this period?"

The subordinate looked at him in confusion, thought for a moment, and said, "The palace has been busy lately, and Eunuch Xia's people have sent messages a few times, but Eunuch Xia seems to have no time to reply. I don't know if he received it."

"Now that Eunuch Xia has returned to Lizheng Palace, I'm afraid those people will have to withdraw.

"Find a few smart people to take over the positions of those people and continue to keep an eye on these four companies."

Chen Duo pondered for a moment and continued, "In addition to those four families, there are also Wang Liangdi's uncle's family and his in-laws, the Yuan family and the Yin family. Make arrangements as well."

The subordinate was a little embarrassed: "Our people are now focused on that...important matter, I'm afraid we can't allocate the capable people."

Chen Duo was silent and sighed: "Let me think of a way to get some money."

The subordinate asked carefully: "Why should we care about those families? Did they break the law? Or does the prince want to investigate them?"

"Wang Liang Di is now in charge of the harem affairs of Daming Palace. I am afraid that there will be few things we do in the future that will not be handled by her.

"Keep an eye on her family. When things are going well, you can do things for her. If things are not going well, it can also be a bargaining chip~"

Chen Duo glanced at the subordinate and said, "If you really find out that they have committed a crime, wouldn't that be a great achievement in front of the Crown Prince?"

The subordinate was shocked: "Don't do that! The prince relies so much on Wang Liang Di now, wouldn't that be a slap in Wang Liang Di's face?"

Chen Duo smiled and waved his hand, telling him to do it.

The subordinates then realized: Wang Liangdi is a person the prince relies on. Keeping an eye on her home can be considered as keeping an eye on Wang Liangdi, but also as keeping an eye on the prince in advance!

Regardless of whether these families will get carried away and commit crimes in the future, their prison department has already done the job in advance.

How can this not be considered a great achievement?!

The subordinate happily increased his attention, and eagerly paid the bill out of his own pocket, and also found someone to help keep an eye on it.

exactly.

In the Daming Palace, Wang Xifeng not only continued to clean and arrange the places where everyone in the Eastern Palace would live after various grand ceremonies according to the plan she had previously agreed upon with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, but also quietly and methodically began to take over the affairs of the Daming Palace.

The first thing, naturally, should be to check the inventory and accounts.

But Dai Quan came personally and told Wang Xifeng: Don't be anxious.

Although Zhou Dai was no longer in danger of death, he still had to stay in bed for another two or three months. Dai Quan also had to find someone who was willing to take over the mess left by Zheng Fan.

——The Daming Palace itself has not figured out the situation yet. If Wang Xifeng takes over at this time, it would be like catching a bomb in her arms.

Wang Xifeng was not in a hurry to take inventory of the treasury. She just familiarized herself with the rules and regulations of each department and the rules of operation. She also called the six Shangs to question them carefully and observe their personalities.

The most common thing was to ask Jing Li to run to the Ye Ting every day to check the resumes of the palace servants over and over again, verify them, add and subtract, and actually help the Ye Ting to add and delete the basic files.

Wu Wei was very unhappy.

But when the corrected book was returned to him, Wu Wei fell silent.

Dai Quan happened to come over and took the book from him to read. He saw a beautiful handwriting of small characters with flowers on it, carefully revising the original text with a red brush, and even occasionally wrote a line of comments in a very impolite manner:

If you make such a mistake, you should be punished with a stick!

Dai Quan chuckled, returned the book to Wu Wei, and said meaningfully: "A strong general has no weak soldiers. Chengxiang Palace will surely produce capable people in the future."

"Master, I really didn't know that the eldest and second brothers were planning to rebel..." Wu Wei tried to make amends.

Dai Quan raised his hand to stop him from speaking, sighed softly, and said: "Wu Wei, the four of you were given names by the emperor, what an honor it is, I don't need to explain it.

"You three have followed His Majesty through thick and thin until today, and even if you have made no contributions, you have worked hard.

“Besides, they are all people who follow orders.

"As long as you have not done wrong to His Majesty in the past and have not violated your conscience and hidden selfishness now, and I am still alive, I will definitely ensure that you will live a life of wealth and glory.

“You two brothers are too generous.

“I know that you have always disdained to fight for it, not because you are narrow-minded, but because you look down on their crude methods.

"As for your claim that you were unaware of the two of them plotting treason...

"They probably thought you didn't know about it because they didn't ask you to join them. Otherwise, the scale of the riot in the palace would be much greater than this.

"But whether you know it or not - what does it matter?

"Zhou Dai's apprentice assisted Wang Liangdi, and she saved Your Majesty and me.

"The big event that your senior brothers were so arrogantly planning was easily disrupted by a woman.

"This woman has already expressed that she doesn't think highly of your job."

Dai Quan pointed at the small pile of books and said, "So, whether I believe it or not, whether your majesty believes it or not, or whether the prince believes it or not, it doesn't matter for now.

"What's more important is that if this Lady Wang Liang revises all the palace registers by herself, you will lose your job.

“When the time comes, don’t even mention that you are a close friend of the traitor. Even if you were the one who saved the emperor that day, I’m afraid you will have to leave with your feet clean.

"Think about it carefully, and think about how you should live in the future."
