The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 436 Extra 27 Conspiracy

Shen Qianhuang stared blankly at Shen Qianchen, her words echoing in her mind, and she suddenly became enlightened, and a bright and cheerful smile appeared on her face again, with a radiant face.

Shen Qianchen could see that Shen Qianhuang had figured it out, so he said no more. She couldn't help but touched Shen Qianhuang's head again, and asked with a smile: "Is the money enough? I also want to get a share."

"..." Shen Qianhuang always felt that she was being coaxed and petted by her sister like a cat, which was a little funny.

She had no intention of carrying it alone, so she readily agreed to Shen Qianchen's proposal: "I'll plan it carefully when I go back."

"Don't worry, it's not just you, but also my grandmother, mother, and aunts." Shen Qianhuang said calmly and generously.

If the establishment of a women's school is to be promoted, on the one hand, it requires financial resources and manpower, and on the other hand, it also needs the support of some people with status. Only in this way can women's schools have more authority among the people and get twice the result with half the effort.

Shen Qianhuang was self-aware, so she had no intention of going it alone. She was surrounded not only by the queen Shen Qianchen, but also by her mother and other members of the Shen family. They were all her advantages, and of course she had to take advantage of them.

Shen Qianchen stretched out an index finger and shook it at her: "Have you forgotten Brother Mu? Be careful that he gets in trouble with you!"

Shen Qianhuang was stunned, and Shen Yunmu's arrogant voice naturally sounded in his mind: "Sister, have you forgotten that you have this younger brother of mine?!"

Both sisters thought of this scene and smiled at each other.

The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Looking at this scene, Amber still has an unreal feeling like a dream.

Half an hour later, Amber sent Shen Qianhuang away in person.

As soon as Shen Qianhuang left, Gu Jue, who had stepped back to the court, returned to Qianqing Palace.

This is not a coincidence. Gu Jue came back at this time after knowing that Shen Qianhuang was gone.

Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue never talked about anything, so they told Gu Jue what Shen Qianhuang said, including about self-combing and opening a girls' school.

Gu Jue just listened and didn't comment.

He personally picked up the blue and white porcelain teapot and added some scented tea to Shen Qianchen's cup, then picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips.

Shen Qianchen took a few sips from his hand, and then pushed the tea cup to his mouth.

Gu Jue also drank a few sips obediently.

The movements the two made back and forth were so familiar and natural, as if they had done it countless times.

Suddenly, Shen Qianchen said without any end: "Jiuxia, I now feel that 'that Chu Qianhuang' may be here to 'accomplish' everything."

She didn't say this out of emotion, she had already had this idea in her heart.

In the last life, if "that Chu Qianhuang" hadn't been secretly causing trouble, she would definitely not have been kicked out of the Chu family. Then, she would never have met Gu Jue.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect.

Because of "that Chu Qianhuang", Chu Qianchen, who had nothing in her previous life, met Gu Jue and gave her a new life.

At that time, she looked up to him and regarded him as her belief. His existence made her feel that the things in the past were not worth mentioning at all, and Jiang Minshan's repeated words that belittled her became insignificant.

As long as he says she can, she thinks she can.

In order to be able to follow him, she tried her best. She got rid of the cowardly and incompetent person created by the Chu family and became the person she is now.

She likes who she is now!

He also likes her now, right? !

Thinking about it, Shen Qianchen smiled happily, with crooked eyebrows and a silly smile.

"So happy?" Gu Jue said casually, not knowing what she was happy about.

As long as he sees her smiling, his mood will become comfortable and joyful, and all his worries will disappear.

"Of course I'm happy!" Shen Qianchen nodded naturally.

There was a previous life before there was this life.

Therefore, in this life, she would take the initiative to find Gu Jue so that she could be with Gu Jue.

In this life, she made up for all the regrets in her heart.

Gu Jue will not die young or be tortured by illness. He will be fine!

Thinking about it, Shen Qianchen couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched Gu Jue's wrist and felt his pulse.

The pulse under the fingers is vigorous and powerful.

very nice!

Gu Jue had become accustomed to her checking his pulse from time to time, letting her do it indulgently, with a spring-breathing smile on his face.

As long as she can feel at ease.

Shen Qianchen quickly retracted his hand, his smile became even stronger, and he said: "Eldest sister also told me that my mother's wedding is scheduled for the end of the year. When that day comes, you can sneak out of the palace with me to attend my mother's wedding. OK?"

Speaking of Shen Zhi's wedding date, Shen Qianchen became even more happy and thought of the "cause" again.

If it weren't for "that Chu Qianhuang", Shen Zhi would have been trapped in the Chu family for the rest of her life, and Shen Qianhuang would have died in the hands of Jiang Minshan at a young age, and her beauty would have passed away.

And now Shen Zhi and Shen Qianhuang have also received a "new life" in a certain sense.

Looking back on what happened in the past year and a half since her rebirth, she still feels like she is in a dream. No, it should be said that it is a dream come true...

Shen Qianchen smiled and leaned obediently on Gu Jue's body. He couldn't help but move his hands and feet towards him, playing with his hair and rubbing his knees against him.

"Of course." Gu Jue agreed without saying a word, rubbed Shen Qianchen's head, and changed the subject, "I'm going out of the palace tomorrow to go to Dali Temple to see the Tribunal." , the trial was a case of cheating in the Jinke Examination.

The black cat came back at some point, looking at Gu Jue's hand with a crooked face, remembering that Shen Qianhuang touched its head and Shen Qianchen touched Shen Qianhuang's head just now, so...

The black cat raised his paw to look at it, and finally slowly licked his paw to wash his face.

"I want to go too!" Shen Qianchen perked up and said enthusiastically, "Should we pay a private visit incognito?"

She felt that she was one of the parties involved in this fraud case. After all, she was present when Lao Yu approached them about the matter on Chinese Valentine's Day. Later, she was also present when they sent Wei Yuanzhi and his group to Jingzhao Mansion.

She has witnessed the "beginning" and "passing" with her own eyes, so there is no reason not to watch the "ending", right?

"Then let's go together." Gu Jue smiled slightly and didn't say anything else, obviously showing off.

Shen Qianchen's curiosity was aroused and she couldn't help but wonder how Gu Jue planned to appear tomorrow.

It was not only Shen Qianchen who was paying attention to this three-division trial, it was almost the focus of the entire capital.

From the emperor and empress to the common people, they are all eagerly awaiting tomorrow's meeting of the three divisions, and the court has become extremely depressed because of the upcoming storm.

The one with the most solemn atmosphere is probably the Wei Mansion on Shuize Street.

In the past few days, the entire Wei Mansion has been eerily quiet. The servants in the mansion know that the Wei family is in big trouble, and they all keep their tails between their legs.

Today, the Wei family, which had been closed for several days, welcomed several guests. They all gathered in the main hall. The servants had been kicked out long ago and were guarding the door outside, not allowing anyone to approach.

Everyone in the main hall respected Wei Jingze, and Wei Jingze was the master, so he naturally sat at the top.

A middle-aged man with a goatee and a green t-shirt looked at Wei Jingze, who had a serious face, cleared his throat and said: "Master Wei, the matter has come to this, we still have to think carefully about how to overcome the difficulties together. "Master Li is right." Another old man with gray hair, who was in his sixties, smoothed his beard and said, "Master Wei, it's actually not too bad now."

So far, there are only four or five people involved in the case who have been arrested in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The other ten or so are servants of the Wei Mansion. Strictly speaking, these servants have nothing to do with the fraud case. At most, they are charged with "gathering a crowd to fight."

The old man wanted to comfort Wei Jingze, but Wei Jingze's face became even more gloomy, full of displeasure.

His second son, Wei Yuanzhi, was imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment, and his eldest son was also suspected of cheating in the examination. This time, the Wei family suffered too much!

"Your Majesty is still too impatient!" Mr. Li said again, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

After all, the new emperor is too young, just a young man in his twenties.

Just after finishing the first test, the new emperor took action, but the result was only to win Wei Yuanzhi. If the new emperor takes advantage of them and collects all the evidence before taking action, then they will also be finished together.

The new emperor was too anxious and gave them enough time to destroy the evidence.

Except for Wei Yuanzhi, Wei Jingze's second son, among the few criminals arrested now, the others are all minor roles in the offline world and are not worth mentioning at all.

The other three officials also felt the same and nodded.

In fact, they all felt that Wei Yuanzhi was too impulsive. There was no need for Wei Yuanzhi to take people to the Li's Tavern in person that day, otherwise he would have pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud, implicating the rest of the Wei family.

But they only dared to think about these words, no one said them.

Wei Jing glanced at these people with cold eyes, and he could tell what they were thinking at a glance.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he made a fist with his right hand. He tapped his fist on the coffee table twice impatiently and said in a deep voice: "Gu Jue is not impatient, he is trying to scare the monkeys!"

"Gu Jue has just dealt with 30% of the military generals in the court. Although he hastily transferred people from the Northern Army to those vacancies, temporarily stabilizing the situation in the army, but it is only 'temporary'. The current popular feeling in the army Still impetuous."

"If in just one month, he first uses military generals and then uses force to deal with civil servants, the court will be in chaos."

Therefore, Wei Jingze judged that Gu Jue was trying to scare the monkeys this time.

The other four officials present looked at each other.

Some people also think that what Wei Jingze said is reasonable, but they are beginning to feel unsure again: the key is how much the new emperor has found, how much evidence he has in hand, and how far he plans to pursue...

Some people became more and more frightened as they thought about it and swallowed their saliva; some drank tea absentmindedly without comment; others were thoughtful.

Master Li exchanged a look with the old man, and Master Li said cautiously: "Master Wei, do you mean that the emperor deliberately dealt with a group of people this time in order to give us a blow?!"

Wei Jing dared to call the new emperor by his name, but others present did not dare.

The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly solemn, and the air seemed to condense with water.

Wei Jingze pursed his lips into a straight line and said nothing. He began to tap his right fist up and down on the coffee table again, his annoyance evident in his words.

Seeing this, another man in blue in his early thirties said calmly: "That should be it. At this moment, we should think about how to protect the second young master Wei."

He used the word "protect" because Wei Yuanzhi's crime could not be dismissed, so what they could do was try to reduce his punishment and save his life first.

In the end, even if he was fined and sent to the border border, it was nothing. With Wei Jingze's ability, he could send someone to the place of distribution in advance to help his son. In a few years, Wei Yuanzhi would still be able to return to Beijing.

The others all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that Gu Jue would not be held responsible for them. However, in front of Wei Jingze, they could not show their joy and relief on their faces.

"Master Liu is right." The old man who was nearly sixty years old nodded in agreement and thought of an idea, "Master Wei, you are a veteran of three dynasties, a high-ranking minister, with countless disciples in the court. If Master Wei went to the Ancestral Temple to cry, , the emperor should put the fraud case down gently under pressure."

"That's inappropriate! The class will be held tomorrow!" Mr. Li immediately shook his head and rejected it.

Even now, Wei Jingze went to the Ancestral Temple to cry. If the new emperor ignored him, his crying would not be in vain! Unless Wei Jingze knelt in the Ancestral Temple for three days and three nights, and they tried to build momentum for him, it would definitely be too late now. It was already less than twelve hours before the church opened tomorrow morning.

"When the court opens..." Mr. Liu, who was wearing a blue straight jacket, touched his chin thoughtfully, "How about we let Mr. Wei put pressure in the court after the court opens tomorrow?"

After a pause, he reminded meaningfully: "Mr. Wei, don't forget that the Queen's family is also involved. Just try to meet the Second Young Master before the meeting and set up a good conversation in advance..."

Although Mu Guogong and his son did not serve in the Ministry of Rites, nor were they the chief and deputy examiners of this examination, Mu Guogong had been close friends with the examiner, Ye Dajun, Hanlin Academy, and several officials from the Ministry of Rites for many years. He wanted to know the examination questions, and he was not Impossible.

Moreover, when Lao Yu was selling questions, he often used the queen's natal family as a gimmick, and many candidates who bought questions also knew this.

If Wei Yuanzhi openly testifies in court tomorrow that Mu Guogong and his son are involved in the leaking scandal, then Mu Guogong and his son will not be able to clean themselves out even if they jump into the Yellow River.

Even if the new emperor and the third division tried to protect Mu Guogong and his son, there would always be people questioning whether the new emperor was favoring the queen's natal family.

In order to protect the queen, the new emperor should be cautious and put down this case gently.

Wei Jing thought for a while, his frown slightly relaxed, he slapped his palm on the coffee table, and made a decision in his heart, saying: "Tonight I will arrange for someone to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment..."

Others also felt relieved that the idea was feasible.

The air also relaxed, and even the sound of the wind blowing on the leaves from the window seemed to become a little lighter.

Mr. Li said with emotion: "As long as the emperor still has concerns."

They were afraid that Gu Jue was cold-blooded and had no scruples.

As long as Gu Jue has scruples, he has a weakness.

Master Li felt that he had found Gu Jue's weakness, but Master Liu disagreed and poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Our emperor's idea is still too big!"

When the king is strong, the ministers are weak. A strong and powerful king like Gu Jue is actually the biggest headache for them.

It was as if a knife was held to their necks, and they were struggling every step of the way. They couldn't help but miss the late Emperor Gu Lang. Hey, if it had been when Gu Lang was in power in the past, how could the test questions have been sold to Gu Lang?

Wei Jingze felt much calmer and was able to drink tea leisurely. He drank two sips of Longjing leisurely.

"Ha." When he put the tea cup down, it made a clanging sound on the coffee table. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Is the Ministry of Etiquette revising the process of the examination recently?"

Mr. Li immediately nodded in agreement.

"No matter how the process is revised, as long as there are people, there will be loopholes." Wei Jing said with a half-smile.

Master Liu's thoughts moved, his eyes were bright, and he asked: "Master Wei, do you really want to..."

"The most dangerous time is also the safest time. Gu Jue will definitely not think that we would dare to attack him during the re-examination." Wei Jingze's eyes flashed with a flash of light.

Mr. Li also laughed: "So, the emperor's trouble actually helped us publicize it. Now the candidates all know that these test questions can be purchased!"

"We can't sell it for three thousand taels this time!"

"That's right!"

“…”

Several officials present nodded one after another, feeling that they must take advantage of this meeting to retake the exam and make a fortune.

Wei Jingze laughed loudly and was very high-spirited, planning to take revenge by retaking the exam next month!

At this moment, a panicked, intermittent male voice came from outside the main hall: "It's not good! It's not... it's okay!"

A boy ran over here panting, with a look of horror on his face.

Wei Jingze frowned again, displeased with the boy's whirring behavior.

"Master, the Jin Yiwei is here!" The boy shouted at the top of his lungs, almost breaking his voice.
