The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

In the palace, Concubine De was a dignified, calm and taciturn lady.

It was the first time for the guards to see Concubine De being so undignified and uncalm.

Moreover, it seemed like it was the first time that I saw her looking worried and panicked. I had never seen her like this before in the palace. Even when the emperor was so weak, there was no sign of worry or distress on her face.

Like a piece of wood without emotions.

But now, haha.

What a difference.

But the emperor must know all of this.

The Yuju courtyard was very small, and in just a short while, Concubine De had searched the entire courtyard.

She suddenly glared at the Zhu family members standing at the gate, "Tell me, where did you take Siyu?"

In fact, everyone was reluctant to follow, but the Emperor was still with them, and they still needed to listen to Concubine You's words.

Faced with Defei's questioning, everyone remained silent.

At this time, a choked voice sounded from behind everyone, "Madam, the young master is here."

The people surrounding him dispersed to both sides, and Concubine De saw two men covered in bruises standing at the gate of the courtyard. The man who spoke was Zhu Siyu's follower, who was supporting a man with messy hair, lowered head, tattered clothes, and torn skin.

Although the man's face could not be seen clearly, Concubine De recognized him at a glance.

She walked over a few steps, pulled aside the hair on the man's face, and checked him. Seeing that he looked as pale as death, Defei's heart suddenly tightened. She raised her fingers and put them tremblingly under the man's nose. When she felt a faint breath, her heart suddenly relaxed a little.

She clenched her hands, looked at her followers and asked, "Who beat you like this?"

The moment the attendant saw Concubine De, tears began to fall. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the young master and I went to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and came back. We encountered robbers and that's why this happened."

His words were intermittent, and with every word he spoke, his eyes swept over the group of people behind him one by one.

How could Concubine De not understand when she saw the look in his eyes?

Besides, her father never let Siyu go out, so how could he let him go to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha?

She clenched her fists, swallowed the matter, asked her follower Xiaoyuan to help Siyu in, and then ordered the guards to call a doctor.

She didn't trust the palace doctor.

About half an hour later, the doctor walked up to Concubine De and said, "This young master has multiple whip wounds, needle wounds, and multiple bone injuries. It will probably take several months to recover completely."

De Fei felt a pang in her heart again. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor. Please make more trips to the Shangshu Mansion in the next few months."

The doctor was terrified to hear the Empress speaking so politely, and hurriedly bowed and said, "This is what I should do as a doctor."

After sending the doctor away, Minister Zhu, who was sitting in the main seat and drinking tea leisurely, spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, can you tell me what Concubine You said?"

Concubine De glanced at him and chuckled, "Concubine You said that the toad ate too much meat and would die suddenly one day, and all the meat it ate would have to vomit out."

Minister Zhu froze while happily drinking his tea. He looked up at Concubine De in astonishment. Then he stood up and walked to her with a slightly panicked look. "Did she really say that?"

Haha, of course it’s fake.

Concubine De sneered in her heart.

I'm sorry, Concubine You, in order to save Siyu's life, I can only borrow you to block it temporarily.

You are the emperor's favorite concubine, you are protected by the emperor's people around you, and the empress dowager is backing you up.

I guess you'll be fine.

On the contrary, if this matter is accomplished, you may be able to gain merit in the future.

So I'm not too sorry to you.

"Whether you believe it or not depends on your father."

De Fei said as she stood up, "Also, I will leave two guards here to protect Si Yu. I hope father will tell my brothers, sisters, and aunts."

"Hehe, leave two guards here. Are these your guards?"

Minister Zhu sneered. He knew that she was out of favor. How could she have the ability to keep two guards here? It was really funny.

"This is also what Concubine You meant."

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhu was furious and approached Concubine De, "Tell me, what on earth does she want to do?"

"Father, you should ask Concubine You."

Hanlin Academy was the highest institution of learning in the Great Sheng Dynasty. In addition to the children of high-ranking officials and businessmen, there were also young men from ordinary families recommended by prefects and counties from all over the country.

At this time, it was everyone's spare time. The students saw two carriages parked at the gate of the school, and their eyes were attracted to them.

They recognized the first carriage as the old dean's carriage.

But they had never seen the second one.

For a moment, the students gathered in groups of three or four, talking in low voices.

"That carriage is so exquisite. It doesn't look like an ordinary carriage in a mansion."

"Haha, how can you say it's exquisite? It's obviously very ordinary. Even the butler in my house can have a carriage like that."

"This shows that you don't know what's good. The carriage looks ordinary at first glance, but you will find its exquisiteness when you look closely."

"The key point is that there is a woman sitting in this carriage."

"woman?"

The students were surprised.

"What kind of woman can come to the Hanlin Academy?"

"Impossible."

"Moreover, the woman inside is a stunning beauty."

Hearing this, the students all laughed, "Do you have a pair of fiery eyes?"

"I don't have a piercing eye, but I have a compass, so I can calculate."

The student raised the compass in his hand slightly so that everyone could see it clearly.

But the crowd still didn't believe it. "Come on, you said last time that you predicted that Mr. Li would have great luck on that day, but he ended up falling into a manure pit."

"Look, it's really a woman's hand!"

Everyone looked in the direction where the words came from, and saw the curtain of the carriage being lifted by a woman's hand. Then, they saw the plump figure of Daya bending over and walking out.

The scholars all exclaimed in unison, "Look, look, this is the peerless beauty you mentioned."

"If we believe you again, we will be cuckolds."

"Okay, this is what you said."

"must……"

"Fuck, she's such a beauty!"

Before he finished speaking, several students suddenly widened their eyes and stared at the woman who got off the carriage.

"Oh my god, those eyes, that face, that figure, where did this little goblin come from?"

"I'll do the math."

The student holding the compass did not take his eyes off Lin You, but his hands moved slowly.

"Cough cough!"

As the old dean led Lin You through the gate, he saw all the students were stunned, as if they had lost their souls. Their eyes were fixed on Lin You, and some even drooled.

He suddenly felt so embarrassed that he coughed hard several times, trying to get them to pay attention, but no one responded.

"Hi, seniors."

Lin You felt a little embarrassed by everyone's gazes. He forced a smile, waved his hand, and greeted the students dryly.
