Jinluan Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have found the person who hid the evidence of the ring. It is one of my subordinates. He has confessed everything and was indeed ordered by Minister Huang of the Ministry of Rites."

Shangguan Yingjie bowed and reported, and asked someone to show the evidence to Lin You.

After reading it, Lin You asked someone to bring it to the adults to read as well.

During the interrogation, Minister Jiang had sent people to search Huang Wang's mansion, and found the jade ring that he was reluctant to throw away.

Now he took the ring and put it together with the broken pieces, and they really matched.

The ministers immediately started talking about it.

It seems that this matter is a done deal.

Seeing this, the people standing on Shen Yu's side looked uglier than each other.

But no one dared to come out and clamor again.

However, they also understood one thing: if this kind of choice problem arises again in the future, Shen Yu would definitely choose to abandon the chess piece that has little use value.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that their heads, which were already hanging in the balance, were getting even more hanging.

So they all chose to remain silent.

It’s best not to take any action in the near future, otherwise it’s easy to fail.

Even Shen Yu, who suffered a setback in the East Hall yesterday, remained silent today.

"Since the evidence is conclusive, Minister Huang will be punished according to the law."

The woman behind the pearl curtain opened her mouth.

Everyone nodded to show their agreement.

"As for He Hai, he was promoted to Minister of Rites."

The emperor had already told her about this before she came to court.

He knew that Minister Huang could not escape.

After the court session, He Hai received the imperial edict and some rewards.

And the Huang family also compensated them.

As for He Yong, he will naturally have to spend time in prison.

This time, He Hai was determined not to show any mercy even when He Yong knelt down and begged.

As soon as Lin You came out of the Golden Palace, she saw the Queen Mother's people waiting for her.

Needless to say, she also knew that he must have come to her about going to Huguo Temple tomorrow.

I only told her about it yesterday, but the other concubines haven’t told it yet.

Sure enough, when Lin You entered the courtyard, he saw several concubines arriving.

As soon as Concubine Chan saw her, she turned her eyes away angrily.

It’s just like the saying goes, once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten.

Then it was Concubine De who saw her and bowed to her.

Lin You was very sharp-eyed and noticed that when Concubine De bent her knees, her face turned pale.

I guess it's because he was forced to kneel for too long and developed a problem.

If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother wanted to take her to pray for blessings, she would probably still be kneeling and copying scriptures in the Jingxin Hall as punishment.

The other two concubines also came over and paid their respects to Lin You.

One of them saw that Concubine De was in pain and helped her up.

From this point of view, apart from Concubine Chan who suffers from the eldest daughter syndrome, the harem is quite harmonious.

"Now that everyone is here, come over here."

The Queen Mother sat at the first seat at the long table in the garden. Concubine Chan smiled and wanted to sit at the lower seat as she was told, but the Queen Mother glared at her, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and sit down.

Humph! If you don’t want to sit, then don’t sit!

You old woman, do you really think I appreciate your kindness so much? When my father helps Prince Yu to ascend the throne, there will be no place for you.

Really ignorant.

Concubine De and three other concubines followed Lin You and sat down in turn.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied when she saw this.

He also became serious and started to get to the point, "Tomorrow we will go to the Huguo Temple to pray for the emperor. Are you all ready?"

The Queen Mother glanced at several concubines, but her final gaze fell on Lin You.

Lin You didn't reveal what Pan Xue's plan was yesterday, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried. If Lin You shook his head at this moment, then she might as well not go to pray this year.

But Lin You nodded.

[Of course we have to be prepared. This highlight is the work of Empress Li.]

Empress Li!

The Queen Mother was slightly surprised when she heard this.

Didn't she shave her head and become a nun after the emperor passed away?

He also built a small temple himself.

It's not in the Huguo Temple, so how could it be related to this matter?

No, Empress Li is not easy to deal with. When the emperor was still in power, many concubines fell into her hands.

Although she has been a nun for many years, she is still experienced.

"Empress You, are you sure you are ready?"

She still asked worriedly.

"Well, I asked Nanny yesterday about the preparations needed for the blessing, and I told the servants to prepare early."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so concerned about Lin You, Concubine Chan, who was standing next to her, almost twisted her handkerchief into pieces with her hands under the table.

Before Lin You came, such love would only fall on her, but...

"Just get ready. I'll leave the matters of the prayer to you," said the Queen Mother.

In previous years, this matter was always handled by Concubine Xian. This year, with the appointment of Concubine Gui, it is natural that she will be responsible for it.

But the purpose of her entrusting it to Lin You was to let her make more preparations so that she could have some backup plans.

"Okay, I will take care of it." Lin You nodded.

She was just worrying about how to deploy some of her own people, so this was perfect.

Concubine Chan was very angry. When everyone was about to step out of the gate of Shouren Palace, she targeted Concubine De's skirt and stepped on it. Concubine De was caught off guard and fell heavily.

Her knee was already injured, and the fall caused her face to wrinkle in pain. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't make any sound.

"Oh sister, why are you so careless?"

Concubine Chan looked at her with pretended concern.

But her acting skills are very poor, and you can tell at first glance that she is just acting.

Or rather, she simply doesn't bother to act.

Now, Minister Zhu's mansion has been confiscated and he has been exiled, and Minister Zhu has been beheaded. Concubine De is now all alone, and Concubine Chan can bully her however she wants.

Seeing this, the two concubines next to her did not dare to help Concubine De up.

Lin You, who was walking in front, turned around when he heard the sound and saw this scene.

After looking at Daya, she stepped forward and helped Defei up.

Defei was in so much pain that she almost couldn't stand up.

"What happened?"

Lin You looked at Concubine De and opened her mouth.

Concubine De pursed her lips and looked at Concubine Chan, who was still acting. "What else could have happened? My sister was walking absent-mindedly and fell down. I don't know who she was thinking about."

The latter sentence successfully changed Concubine De's expression.

Did Concubine Chan discover something?

Now that she no longer has Minister Zhu's background, if Concubine Chan wants to investigate her and Siyu, it would be an easy task.

After all, she still has a father who is a duke.

If he angered Concubine Chan, she would probably ask the Duke to do something unfavorable to Siyu.

Thinking of this, Concubine De bowed to Lin You and said, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine. I will be fine."

After that, she said to Concubine Chan: "Thank you for your reminder, sister. Next time I won't be distracted when walking."

"Well, that's good to know."

Concubine Chan responded arrogantly and left.

Seeing this, the other concubines also left.

Seeing Concubine De like this, Lin You didn't say anything more. He just sighed in his heart and turned back to Yunqian Palace.

After all, this is Concubine De’s own business.

She also wants to leave the palace to look for Hongkui.
