Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

It was obvious that the Emperor and the Empress no longer trusted the Crown Princess, and were worried that the concubines in the Eastern Palace would take action after finding out, so they sent the nanny and aunt to come down to protect the Crown Prince's house.

But the excuse she used was that Wang Chenghui already had an aunt who taught her.

It sounds so weird.

This was probably to warn her: Don't think you can stay out of it.

It seems that these people are not good people.

But when Meng Fanshuang heard that it was Nanny Weng who came, she was so happy that she ran away without saying a word.

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to call Xia Shouzhong to inquire about the situation.

“It’s all good news for us.

"Madame Weng is Meng Fanshuang's master. Even though she was not favored back then, she still has some ties to him.

"As for Nanny Ji who came here to serve the princess, she is the smartest person in the whole palace. She taught Princess Yongning to be dignified, generous, insightful and intelligent.

"We don't deal with the other three, isn't this the most appropriate arrangement?"

Wang Xifeng nodded reluctantly.

But Zitang of Cheng'en Palace, the maid that the Crown Princess relied on and trusted the most, to the extent that she entrusted her only son, the only son of the Crown Prince of Heaven, to be her dowry maid, was returned to the Mo family just because of Nanny Weng's words about the strict palace rules and a puzzled look.

The power of Nanny Weng can be seen from this.

"This is the best protection that the Crown Princess could offer." Xia Shouzhong sighed and nodded, "At least he survived unscathed, and his family is doing well too."

After a pause, he said regretfully in a low voice, "With this commotion, how can we find the eunuch who misled the young princess?

"That would be like adding insult to injury..."

Wang Xifeng looked at him strangely: "Don't tell me that you have been in the palace for more than ten or twenty years and you haven't even learned how to frame someone!?"

Xia Shouzhong closed his mouth tightly.

"I know that in this case, we can only punish him for other crimes, and we won't be able to find out who is behind this."

Wang Xifeng looked back at the little girl who was taking a sweet nap in the attic accompanied by Ruer, "But her mother is gone, and the one who bullied her is gone too.

“Although that person has planted spies among us and tried to take advantage of the little princess, she is having a very hard time now.

"At this time, it is unlikely that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will destroy her..."

If the Eastern Palace is not peaceful and is really impeached by the censor, it will not only cause unrest in the family, but it may also be implicated in the fact that the emperor is not careful in self-cultivation, incapable of managing the family, and even unable to govern the country...

Therefore, it will take a few more years for justice to be sought on He Ke's behalf.

"Let's throw that eunuch out first." Wang Xifeng raised her chin.

That afternoon, Xia Shouzhong sent the eunuch who worked in the small kitchen of Yi Qiu Palace directly to the Neifang Criminal Court on the charge of "failed conspiracy to steal and attempted to harm his master".

Before Qinghai could react, the eunuch died in the prison of the Criminal Justice Department. It was not because he could not bear the torture, but because he hit his head against the wall and died.

"It's just stealing, is it necessary to commit suicide?" Qinghai's eyes rolled around and he immediately ran to find Xia Shouzhong to ask in detail.

Xia Shouzhong saluted him solemnly, but said calmly: "I took it now.

"He first tried to bribe Qiaogui, but unfortunately Qiaogui spent all her time learning needlework and had no access to Chenghui's treasury, so she returned his favor.

"He tried to bribe Qiao Lian again, but that fool Qiao Lian caught him on the spot and told me.

"We in Yiqiu East Palace are the most law-abiding, so we will not resort to private punishment. That's why we sent him to the Criminal Justice Department.

"The prison officer can't get the answer, or if he does, he won't tell you. That's the prison officer's job. What does it have to do with a small clerk like me?"

Qinghai was frustrated and went back depressed.

After sitting there for a long time, he was reminded by Chang Ying before he realized that the eunuch’s crime also included “attempting to harm the master”!

Suddenly, he thought of the premeditated assassination of He Ke and Prince Duan the day before, and was immediately frightened!

He immediately told his subordinates: "Since you are a thief, you should know the fate of a thief! Your body will be thrown into a mass grave and fed to the dogs!"

Then the case is closed.

In the evening, Wang Xifeng asked the Crow brothers and learned that the matter had indeed been hushed over. She sneered, turned over and went to sleep.

But Jin Ercai was very unhappy. She stood on the shelf, shaking her head and shouting, "Kill her! Kill her!"

Wu Jin was still curled up at the foot of the bed, eyes closed. "Meow."

"What do you mean there's no knife to borrow? Aren't you?

"You've been in her Cheng'en Palace for so long, don't you know the rules for her summoning spies and others?

"Why don't we just pick an opportunity to lure the prince over there?"

When Jin Ercai was so excited, he even spread his wings and flapped them several times.

"Meow."

Jin Ercai spat at him, "What do you mean by 'the time has not come yet in the Book of Life and Death'? It's all excuses! Excuses!

"When will your King Qin Guang wake up?

"Waste! Waste!

"They're all trash!"

Wu Jin got up quickly, shook his body, turned his head and looked at the parrot eagerly: "Meow!!!"

Wang Xifeng, who was lying on the bed, was annoyed by their quarrel: "Don't be disrespectful to Prince Qin Guang!

"Even if he is a waste, I am the only one who can tell you that you are courting death. Do you understand?

“I need sleep.

"Shut your mouths, both of you."

The parrot closed its mouth but was still excited. It paced up and down and left and right on the shelf several times before stopping.

The black cat hesitated for a moment before meowing softly.

"Madame Duan?" Wang Xifeng turned over and looked at it in confusion, "Who is that?"

..............................

The next day, Chenshi.

An old woman dressed in plain clothes, with a straight posture, gray hair, sharp eyebrows, thin lips and a fierce face, stood at the gate of Lizheng Hall.

The prince came out to greet her in person. When he saw her, his eyes turned red and his face showed a little grievance: "Mammy."

The old woman saluted him neatly and said, "I have been out of the palace for five years. I don't dare to be addressed as Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Mammy, please help me." The prince's tears fell. Without saying a word, he grabbed the old woman's hands and pulled her into the hall.

The old woman reluctantly broke free and said, "I'll go on my own."

"Here." The prince personally took her into the hall and asked her to sit on the armchair that had been prepared in advance. He then sat on another chair to her left, separated by a small table.

There was hot tea and snacks on the small table.

The prince personally pushed the old woman over and said, "Mammy, you like to eat Yunpian Gao and Biluochun."

The old woman bowed and said sternly, "Your Highness has come to me for something important. May I ask what it is?"

"Mammy, Ah Li is dead, and Ah Gu is also dead..." The prince leaned on his knees with his hands, and tears fell drop by drop, hitting the square brick floor of the hall with a soft sound.

The old woman looked indifferent: "Oh."

"The Queen sent the daughter of the Mo family here. On the first day she entered the East Palace, she lost her temper and was provoked and framed. She beat Feng Yi who came with her and made him unconscious..."

The prince smiled sadly, "As soon as I sent that idiot back to the queen, someone wanted to kill my two children."

The drooping needle lines on the old woman's brows slowly took shape, revealing themselves deeply:

"Oh?"

"Mammy, the Crown Princess is incompetent. Perhaps, as you said, she is also immoral." The Crown Prince whispered, "But I don't want my mother to get involved in the affairs of the East Palace backyard.

"Mammy, I was wrong. Can you come back and help me?"

The old woman's face showed worry and resentment, but it disappeared in a moment. She said with a stern face, "Then how do you want me to help you? Can I become the Crown Princess's tutor again?"

"I would like to invite you to serve as my Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household and take charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace!"
