Concubine Hui was shocked, and said with a guilty conscience: "The concubine would never dare to have such thoughts!"

Emperor Jin Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "But why does I look at you with a full posture?"

Even though Concubine Hui Xiao Xiangfeng has been in the position for a long time and has great ambitions, but she was originally the daughter of a small official in the capital, and her status has not been revealed since she entered the palace. The ground is the love of Emperor Jin and Yuan for himself.But now Emperor Jin Yuan seemed to have doubts about himself, and Concubine Hui couldn't help being more anxious and guilty than scolding the Pei family secretly in her heart.

Concubine Hui lowered her eyes, covered her face and wept: "Your Majesty misunderstood my concubine. The reason why this concubine valued His Royal Highness King Jing's marriage was because Concubine Shu and his concubine were like sisters when she was alive. His Highness Jing Wang is an old friend. The son, the concubine will naturally take care of one or two."

"Oh?" Emperor Jin Yuan chuckled lightly.

Concubine Hui bit her thin lips, put her hands lightly on Emperor Jinyuan's legs, her ten fingers that had not been touched by Yangchun water were like green onions and white jade, she brushed over Emperor Jinyuan's dragon robe carefully, and said in a faint voice: "Since your majesty suspects that my concubine's mind is impure , that concubine might as well smash her head to death on this palace pillar."

After saying that, she turned into a weeping gesture and got up.

The surrounding palace people were frightened, and Biyu even stepped forward to stop Concubine Hui, screaming, "Your Majesty, don't want it."

"Why did you lose your temper all of a sudden?" Emperor Jin Yuan looked at Concubine Hui being hugged by the palace people at his feet, bent down to touch her delicate bun wearing a golden hairpin, his tone could not hear any joy or anger, and he spoke slowly Said: "I just chatted with my concubine casually, why is my concubine wronged by this?"

Concubine Hui did not dare to look up, sobbing softly.

There was silence in Yulin Palace, no one dared to speak.

After about half a cup of tea, Emperor Jin Yuan suddenly chuckled.

"I came to see you because I heard that the palace people said that you were uncomfortable. You are so good that you lost your temper with me." Emperor Jin Yuan said so, and personally helped Concubine Hui to sit beside him and said, "What the hell is going on? It's because I dote on you too much."

"Your Majesty, the concubine is really thinking about the good of Concubine Shu Gui, so she pays more attention to His Highness Prince Jing." Concubine Hui wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said cautiously.

Emperor Jin Yuan's face was light: "I know, Aifei doesn't need to explain anymore."

Concubine Hui carefully looked at Emperor Jin Yuan, thinking that the emperor no longer cared about herself, she was relieved, and leaned into the arms of Emperor Jin Yuan aggrievedly, Xiaoyi said coquettishly, "Can my concubine be alone in the palace today?" Isn't it all because His Majesty is willing to give a share of honor and favor? Now His Majesty is blaming the concubine for being arrogant and arrogant, but the concubine doesn't recognize it. 1"

Emperor Jin Yuan smiled when he heard the words, his brows were dark: "My concubine's words are extreme, I blame you."

The court affairs were busy, Emperor Jin Yuan had a lunch in Yulin Palace at noon, and then drove away after taking a nap.But just after leaving the main hall of Yulin Palace, the smile on Emperor Jin Yuan's face fell, and everyone could see that he was not in high spirits.

"Zhao Lin, do you think this Concubine Hui has a big heart?" Emperor Jin Yuan walked slowly on the gravel road, seemingly carelessly.

Zhao Lin is an old man serving Emperor Jin Yuan, how can he not understand Emperor Jin Yuan's temper?

After deliberation, he lowered his eyes and smiled apologetically beside Emperor Jin Yuan: "The slaves don't know what the empress is thinking, but according to the slave's thoughts, who in this palace would not want to be one step closer to His Majesty?"

Emperor Jin Yuan turned his head to look at him, sneered and stopped talking.

But at this moment, at the main entrance of Yulin Palace, the little maid standing alone stood with her eyes downcast. The little maid was probably timid. Once soft, he knelt on the ground.

Zhao Lin frowned, and was about to say something, but Emperor Jin Yuan was attracted by the appearance of the little maid in advance, and fell on her delicate and blush face.

Emperor Jin Yuan paused, walked up to the maid, and ordered the maid to lift her chin: "Are you the maid in this palace?"

The little maid said softly: "Yes."

Emperor Jin Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Why is your face so red, is it because you put on makeup?"

It is an unwritten rule in the palace that low-ranking maids should not wear makeup or makeup. The little maid trembled when asked by Emperor Jin Yuan, and she shook her head with tears in her eyes: "No servant, servant... I accidentally said something wrong when I was serving Concubine Hui in the morning. If you said something, it made the empress unhappy, and it was only because of being punished with a few slaps."

Emperor Jin Yuan frowned slightly, and asked again: "What's your name?"

The little maid flinched and said, "My servant's name is Bao Xing."

"It's a good name."

Emperor Jin Yuan sullenly ordered the palace attendant to release the little maid, and walked away without saying anything else.

The emperor's mind is capricious, and even Zhao Lin couldn't figure out whether the few words that Emperor Jin Yuan asked the court lady were random out of sudden interest, or there were other meanings in them.

At the same time, in front of the imperial study, Xie Lin met the officials who had left from the Changping uncle's mansion to count the wealth of the Wei family.

"My lord Wang, my lord Su, come here and be safe and sound." Xie Lin put one hand on his back, his expression was indifferent, and he raised his hands and feet with the bright moon and the jade tree facing the wind.

The officials had always heard that Prince Jing Xie Linpin was violent, and most moody, they glanced at each other, and the leader, Mr. Wang, cupped his hands cautiously and respectfully: "Your Majesty, please be safe, Your Highness Prince Jing."

Xie Lin smiled lightly, and said casually: "Sirs, you don't have to be so formal, I don't know what it means for several adults to enter the palace together?"

If these words were asked by some other princes, Mr. Wang might have to hesitate for a while, but it was Prince Jing who asked the question. In connection with her identity as the queen-to-be, she was the unfavored son of the Changping uncle's mansion and It was General Wei's nephew again, so he couldn't help but smiled and said: "The minister and others are ordered by the emperor to go to Changping uncle's house to count the wealth of the Wei family, and now they are returning to the palace."

"My lords have worked hard." Xie Lin frowned, and smiled faintly, "I don't know if the counting of the lords in the Changping uncle's mansion is going well?"

When Lord Wang heard the words, he sighed first, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "My lord doesn't know something. Although Uncle Changping said in front of His Majesty yesterday that he is looking after the property of the Wei family, but the property of Wei's family is mixed with the private treasury of Uncle Changping's mansion. For more than ten years, I don’t know how much I have spent on silver money alone, and I am short of nearly 40 taels of gold just by reconciling the accounts!”

Xie Lin frowned cooperatively: "It's so serious."

Lord Wang said: "Not only that, most of the treasures that belonged to the Wei family's account have disappeared, and the few treasures of the Wei family that can be found in the Changping uncle's mansion, guess where they are stored?"

Xie Lin shook his head and smiled: "This king can't guess."

Lord Wang lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Don't just say that the lord can't guess, at first, the officials never expected that Uncle Changping and Mrs. Uncle Changping would dare to take those treasures belonging to the Wei family so unscrupulously. They put them in their own house, and there are very few objects among them, which were also used as rewards by them, and rewarded to concubines or slaves who have made meritorious service in the house."

Xie Lin knew the virtues of Uncle Changping and the He family for a long time, and despite his indifference, he showed complete shock at Lord Wang's words on his face, and frowned and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Changping and his wife Is this taking the wealth of the Wei family as your own?"

Who said no?

Mr. Wang was about to continue sighing, when not far from them, Sheng Jia arrived.

Emperor Jin Yuan was not in high spirits when he came out from Concubine Hui, and when he saw a lot of people outside the imperial study, he rubbed his forehead wearily, and Xuan and the others entered the imperial study together.

King Jing was in rank, and after entering the imperial study, there were servants who seated him and served him tea.

Before Lord Wang and others opened their mouths, Xie Lin greeted Emperor Jin Yuan, and said in a low voice: "I am not in a hurry to tell you, my father, why don't you listen to the speeches of the adults first."

Seeing that it was Mr. Wang, Emperor Jin Yuan had some points in his heart, so he didn't shy away from thanking Lin, and asked Mr. Wang to come forward to speak, and picked up the memorial in his hand to read it one by one.

At the beginning, Master Wang detailed the amount of the Wei family’s wealth that was counted in Changping’s uncle’s mansion. Emperor Jin and Yuan didn’t feel it. Without frowning, he asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out where those missing silver coins and treasures are?"

Lord Wang lowered his eyes: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I found out the investigation, but there are a few treasures and money of the Wei family among them, but some, some..."

He hesitated a little and raised his head, looking at Xie Lin.

Xie Lin was sitting on a chair drinking tea at that time, seeing this, he smiled and said: "My lord, looking at me, does it mean that I need me to avoid it for a while?"

Master Wang smiled awkwardly.

Emperor Jin Yuan didn't take it seriously, and said with a half-smile: "It's nothing, Uncle Changping is mediocre, it is expected that if you give him a thousand guts, he can still use the money from the Wei family to support private soldiers and rebel? Wang Qing, don't hesitate anymore. Come on, tell me, where did Uncle Changping spend all that money?"

Mr. Wang swallowed his saliva, and winked at Mr. Su beside him. Mr. Su slowly took out an account book from his cuff, and presented it to him.

The old eunuch Zhao Lin took the booklet, and after checking that there was no problem, he handed it to Emperor Jin Yuan. Emperor Jin Yuan opened the account book, and Lord Wang immediately said: "This is the account book that Wei Chen and others found in the house of Mrs. He, Mrs. Changping. , this volume records in detail how the He family sent the Wei family's money to the He mansion, the palace, and...His Royal Highness Qin's mansion in the past ten years or so."

It is not uncommon for courtiers to form cliques with princes and nobles, but as long as this matter does not come to the eyes of Emperor Jin Yuan, it will be fine. Once it is brought to the eyes, it will be a big hole.

The account book was very thick, Emperor Jin Yuan threw the account book on the desk in a rage after flipping through a few pages, his face darkened, and he said with an angry smile: "What a He Fu, what a king of Qin, what a concubine Hui!"

Xie Lin stood up and said, "Father, calm down."

Emperor Jin and Yuan felt furious after reading the account book, how could Xie Lin calm down the public with a word of appeasement?More than 30 taels of gold were given to the King of Qin by the Changping Bofu, but why did the King of Qin want so much money for nothing?In the past, Emperor Jin and Yuan laughed at Uncle Chang Ping for being mediocre, even if he turned against heaven and earth, he could still use it to raise private soldiers, but this time it was King Qin's turn for silver, and Emperor Jin and Yuan couldn't sit still immediately.

He has been the emperor for many years, and he has the most serious suspicion. Just from the fact that each prince became a king after he became an adult, and only granted the title of prince without dividing the land, this is the beginning of Emperor Jin Yuan's suspicion and fear of several people.

But now Qin Wang Xie Cheng is connected with Changping Bofu, or He family, and the amount of silver between them has reached the critical value in Emperor Jin Yuan's heart. When the red line is touched, Emperor Jin Yuan will be even more Can't hide my anger anymore.

Seeing that Emperor Jin and Yuan were furious, Lord Wang knelt down with Xie Lin and begged His Majesty to appease his anger.

Emperor Jin and Yuan wished to invite King Qin into the palace immediately, scold him head and face, and conduct a thorough investigation of King Qin's mansion, but now the palace is also related to this matter, so he had to suppress his temper first, and ordered Zhao Lin to take the Wei family. The reconciliation books handed in were immediately settled one by one in Concubine Hui's Yulin Palace.

Let's see how much his beloved concubine has benefited from Mrs. Changping, his own sister, in the past ten years?

But in Yulin Palace, Concubine Hui didn't know that she was in a catastrophe, and was still thinking about her dream of being a queen.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Jin Yuan Xuxu sat in front of the imperial case with his eyes closed, waiting for the palace servants to report back.

And the imperial decree that was suddenly sent down in Yulin Palace caused the palace people and Concubine Hui to panic. Naturally, it is absolutely impossible to describe the wonderful chicken and dog jumping in a few words.

Some high-ranking concubines in the harem heard about this, and they couldn't help gloating at Concubine Hui's misfortune. Even the Queen Mother Zhao was alarmed, and sent her nuns to ask Emperor Jin Yuan what was going on, and later found out Concubine Hui had something to do with the previous dynasty, so she stopped asking.

The old eunuch Zhao Lin led the palace staff to almost turn Yulin Palace upside down, and found out a lot of property that had been recorded in the Wei family's ledger, and while the palace staff were secretly dumbfounded, Concubine Hui almost collapsed.

"Concubine Hui, if I had known today, why did you do it?" Zhao Lin said with sympathy in a shrill voice.

Concubine Hui shook her head, and the gold hairpin on her head shook violently: "I don't know! These things are all brought in by my sister from outside the palace, how could I know that these things belonged to the Wei family!"

What is the state of He Mansion, and what is the state of Changping Bo's Mansion?When Concubine Hui took over the palace full of gold jars and jades from her own sister, did she not have any doubts about the origin of the things?

Zhao Lin shook his head with a sigh: "Your Majesty, I'd better save these words for the day when I see His Majesty."

Zhao Lin's legs and feet were slow, and after counting from the Yulin Palace, he sent the young eunuch to return to the imperial study first.

The little eunuch described the situation in Yulin Palace to Emperor Jin Yuan, and Emperor Jin Yuan was silent for a while, and said: "I want to draw up an order to demote Concubine Hui to Concubine Hui, let me see what you think."

Several adults stood in front of the case and looked at each other, not daring to say anything.

Concubine Hui is a palace concubine, if there is no big fault, how can these courtiers be able to chew their tongues?

However, Emperor Jin Yuan didn't expect a few of his courtiers to be able to say anything, he just wrote the imperial decree hastily and handed it over to the little eunuch who came earlier, and asked him to hand it over to Yulin Palace to read it out.

This trip is just a stick of incense time, and the news in the palace is always well-informed. Before Concubine Hui in Yulin Palace received the imperial decree to be demoted to be a concubine, several nobles in the palace got the news in advance .

Zhang Guijun was still ill, he never cared much about the promotion and relegation of concubines in the palace, he heard his attendants say that Concubine Hui was demoted, he only frowned and asked a question before he stopped worrying.

Concubine Rong is the one who takes pleasure in others' misfortunes the most. She bluntly said that Concubine Hui can still be where she is today if she is favored like Hui.

As for Qin Wang Xie Cheng's biological mother, Concubine Li, she still doesn't know that her own son has also committed a crime, and when Concubine Hui was demoted to concubine, her face burst into a smile.

"Hmph, let's see how our concubine sister will show off her power in front of this palace in the future."

Lipin said so.

The Wei family's wealth counted from Yulin Palace is also to be returned to the Wei family. Emperor Jin Yuan rubbed his forehead and said something to Mr. Wang in the imperial study room. He was suppressing his anger and interrogating King Qin Xie Cheng. But Xie Lin suddenly said something, causing everyone present to be taken aback.

"My son vaguely remembers that the screen in the imperial study seems to be a birthday gift presented by Concubine Hui to Emperor Father a few years ago?"

Emperor Jin Yuan frowned and looked at the screen in the room.

It is the screen in the imperial study room that won the first place in the birthday banquet of Emperor Jin Yuan seven years ago. Part of the reason why Concubine Hui became one of the four concubines was that this screen was called Emperor Jin Yuan. She loved her so much that she attracted a lot of attention to Concubine Hui.

As Emperor Jin Yuan thought about it like this, his complexion suddenly turned livid.

Mr. Su before the trial, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty... I have something to say, this screen of Your Majesty is indeed the same as the one in the Wei family's account book called the sandalwood carving of Fu Lu." The shape of Shou's glazed screen fits perfectly with the description, if Master Wei is here, he may be able to tell at a glance whether this thing...whether it belongs to the Wei family or not."

"What Su Aiqing said is true." Emperor Jin Yuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Thinking of the treasures that Concubine Hui had presented at his birthday banquet over the years, he couldn't help but doubt the origin one by one. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Wait for me When Xuan Weiqing enters the palace, anyone who wants to come will know Weiqing at a glance."

After checking the family property embezzled by the Changping uncle's mansion for the Wei family, he unexpectedly found himself. Emperor Jin Yuan was in a very complicated mood, and he had a few novels with Mr. Wang. After dismissing a few people, only King Jing remained .

Emperor Jin Yuan rubbed his forehead and said annoyedly: "Finally, why did you come to see me today?"

Xie Lindan smiled and said: "My grandpa specially let my son enter the palace to thank my father, and to do justice for the Yang family."

Emperor Jin Yuan raised his eyes slightly: "I didn't completely remove Pei Qing's black hat, so your grandfather didn't complain about me?"

Xie Lin smiled, and his face was light: "Father needs to balance the government and the opposition. Lord Pei's position is crucial, and he can't move at will. This principle is understood by my son and grandfather's family."

Emperor Jin Yuan suddenly said: "It's been a long time since you have had such a peaceful conversation with me."

Xie Lin lowered his eyes and said nothing, his eyes were full of indifference.

Emperor Jin Yuan was the most impatient to see him like this, and he would inevitably reprimand Xie Lin again when his temper came up, so the father and son broke up again.

For Xie Lin, the father-son relationship between the two had been exhausted as early as in the last life. Although Jin Yuan Emperor still has some father-son relationship with him now, this relationship seems to be about to break down. The suspension bridge is in jeopardy, and perhaps just a slight disturbance is enough to destroy it.

"Your Highness, it's windy."

Outside the imperial study room, Wang Youquan put on a cloak for Xie Lin.

Xie Lin glanced at the sky, closed his eyes and said, "This king vaguely thinks that the third day of next month seems to be the eldest son's birthday?" He said it was vague, but he has celebrated countless birthdays for Bai Guo, but he actually wants to remember this day better Anyone knows.

"Your Highness remembers correctly." Wang Youquan lowered his eyes and said, "A few days ago, the Qin Tianjian just compared the birthdays of the prince and the eldest son. The old slave took a look and it was exactly this day."

Xie Lin nodded, suddenly smiled and said: "After the birthday, you will be eighteen."

After saying that, he didn't seem to know what to recall, his eyes were full of smiles.

"It's an adult now."
