The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are cheating

Huixin raised her head and was slightly stunned.

Not Lin Cainu.

This is……

Drunken Moon in the Queen's Palace.

Zuiyue was followed by two little palace maids, carrying food boxes and ointments.

Zuiyue raised an eyebrow: "The Queen is kind-hearted and wants to spare your life. But whether you can survive or not depends on your ability."

Zuiyue turned around and ordered: "Treat her wounds. Feed her if she can eat, and don't worry if she can't eat."

Zuiyue took another food box and went to see Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing here?"

But he couldn't help but look at the food box.

"I went to get lunch from Chuxiu Palace on the way. Why don't I leave it here for Cainu?" Zuiyue asked.

Lin Qingqing couldn't help but sneer.

It seems that Jiang Zhimiao is also a smart person. She knows that the emperor's anger with her is only temporary, so she is trying to please him in advance.

Unfortunately.

She didn't appreciate it.

"No need, just take it back." Lin Qingqing said calmly.

Having said that, Zuiyue will most likely let it go.

In this way, you have both face and substance.

Lin Qingqing was thinking this, Zuiyue nodded: "I understand."

She took the lunch box and left.

The food box was actually empty. She only pretended to go there because the queen asked her to come and take a look at Lin Qingqing's condition and then go back to report.

can only say.

That Hui Xin is really miserable.

This Lin Cainü is even more heartless than one might imagine.

Zuiyue did not wait for the two little palace maids. She turned around and went back to Fengyi Palace to report.

Jiang Zhimiao listened to the situation in Chuxiu Palace, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What's going on with Lin Qingqing?

Even if you are cold-hearted by nature, shouldn't you still pretend at this time?

Or.

Her mind was filled with her brother Hua, and everything else was just a mess.

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but ponder.

She's seen half of the show.

I know that Yuehua has been secretly training spies many years ago.

As Long Aotian, with Yue Hua's good fortune, he really achieved a lot of results.

Some women were trained by him to become top killers.

Some of them became the top girls in brothels.

Some of them became favorite concubines of ministers, and subtly spoke well of Yuehua.

Even in the palace, a lot of people were assigned to it.

Huixin is one of them.

Jiang Zhimiao's battlefield is now in the harem. Her current idea is to eliminate Yue Hua's spies in the harem one by one.

But except for a few supporting characters who are described in detail in the book, most of them are just mentioned in passing.

There is no way to know the specific information.

Jiang Zhimiao showed special favor to Huixin just to see if it was possible to tear a breakthrough from the known chess pieces first.

If Lin Qingqing cooperates, the possibility of success should be higher.

of course.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed.

Anyway, she just did it casually and didn't spend too much time on Huixin.

Even if Huixin has been brainwashed by Prince Anhe, she has been in the palace for several years. If everything was going smoothly, she would naturally remain loyal.

in case……

Does something like what happened today happen many times?

Jiang Zhimiao didn't believe that she would always be willing.

"Yunxiang, is the mung bean and lily soup ready?" Jiang Zhimiao turned around and asked.

Yunxiang nodded quickly: "It's always been kept in the ice bucket."

"Bring it here. I'll deliver it to the emperor personally." Jiang Zhimiao thought, she spent so many points to get this information, although she couldn't reveal it directly, she had to at least give Yue Lin some hints indirectly.

A lot has been said about Yuehua’s forces in the first half of this book.

Although it is not very specific, if we follow these clues, we will definitely find something significant.

Jiang Zhimiao just walked into the imperial study and was speechless for a while.

why.

Every time she comes to see Yue Lin, something happens?

This time.

Don't know what happened.

At noon, when the sun was at its hottest, a white-haired old man was kneeling at the door of the imperial study.

The old man did not seem to be afraid of death at all, and he was still shouting, "Your Majesty! Please take back your order! Minister Zhang is just a bad father, but he is loyal to the court and his ability is absolutely beyond reproach. Your Majesty wants Minister Zhang to abdicate because of such a small matter. This is really not what a wise ruler does!"

"Cheng Yushi, please stop kneeling." Li Dehuai advised with a bitter face: "The emperor will make his own decision. If you continue kneeling, it will be in vain."

"The emperor is wrong, so we, the imperial censors, should speak out and make a warning! Even if I die kneeling here today, I will force the emperor to revoke his order."

"You..." Li Dehuai was about to continue persuading, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang Zhimiao.

Li Dehuai's eyes lit up: "Empress!"

Jiang Zhimiao walked over and asked: "Is it an unfortunate coincidence that I came here today?"

Li Dehuai leaned over and lowered his voice, "At the morning court today, the emperor demoted Zhang Dehong. It went smoothly at the time, and no one objected. The kneeling Cheng Long was the former censor. During his tenure, he was impartial and outspoken, admonishing the emperor and the officials, and was quite famous for his honesty. Two years ago, he retired and returned to his hometown, leaving the capital. Today, the emperor demoted Zhang Dehong, and Cheng Long returned to the capital right after! The first thing he did when he returned to the capital was to ask to see the emperor. The emperor always respected old ministers, so he received him."

"As a result, he immediately accused the emperor of being a tyrant who could not distinguish right from wrong. He said that conferring a title on a princess was against the ancestral system, then he said that Zhang Ziping had not committed any serious mistakes and the emperor's punishment was too severe, and then he said that Zhang Dehong had no merits but had worked hard and should not be implicated. He scolded the emperor for half an hour. The emperor did not want to pay attention to him at first and had someone send him out. As a result, he knelt down at the door of the imperial study!"

"Although this man is unreasonable, he has a very good reputation among the people. If he really dies kneeling here, the emperor's reputation..." Li Dehuai had a bitter face and was helpless.

He had thought about having someone take the old man away directly.

However, once someone gets close to him, he will fight to the death.

He even threatened that if the emperor did not listen to his loyal minister, he would die somewhere else even if he didn't die here.

Jiang Zhimiao: "...Isn't this just playing rogue?"

Li Dehuai was considered to have found a kindred spirit. He quickly said, "He is just a scoundrel! But he is old and has a very good reputation. I really don't know how to deal with him for the time being."

"What does the emperor say?" Jiang Zhimiao asked.

Li Dehuai lowered his voice and said, "The emperor said that it's sunny outside and he will faint from the heat if he kneels for a while. Then we can just throw him out."

Yue Lin was obviously also angry.

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty is just speaking in anger."

"If you ask me, no one would not be angry if they encounter something like this." Li Dehuai said with a bitter face.

He glanced at Cheng Long, who was still cursing with full energy, and couldn't help feeling depressed.

Although he is in his seventies or eighties, he looks very energetic!

Jiang Zhimiao also took a look.

Cheng Long seemed to have triggered some mechanism. When he saw Jiang Zhimiao looking at him, he started to curse Jiang Zhimiao as well.
