Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 116 Punishment
Yinzhen had no idea at the moment, so Su Peisheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, the rest of the people have already spoken, even though Miss Huichun is present.
But he said in front of many people that the mung bean soup was not fresh, so he made another bowl. No one saw him poisoning it!
Yixiu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Although I have a severe headache, I am still concerned about the safety of the imperial concubines and the heir. That's why I asked Huichun to pay special attention to them."
Cao Qinmo thought for a moment, then continued, "Someone poisoned Huichun after she changed the soup, or perhaps they saw Huichun changing the soup and then poisoned her again."
Su Peisheng nodded repeatedly, "What Concubine Xiang said is absolutely right. That little guy was originally a eunuch who worked in the kitchen. He was always in the kitchen. It's possible that he got in without anyone noticing."
Dongli lifted the curtain and came in, serving tea to Yinzhen and others.
Liu Hua knew that the time had come, and he had already wanted to kill Tong Jia Yunrong.
He immediately added, "Your Majesty, Dongli personally led Eunuch Su's men to search Xiao Xizi's berth.
They actually found a lot of banknotes, which looked like money from the Leshan Bank in the capital.
As soon as he heard the word "Leshan Money House", Yinzhen immediately frowned.
Everyone knows that there is a lot of silver and money in the palace, and Leshan Money House is the largest silver house in Kyoto.
People who came to Kyoto to do business from all over the country only needed to write a note, sign and stamp it at the branch, and they could withdraw ten thousand taels of gold in Kyoto.
Yinzhen sipped his tea with great displeasure, for he knew that Longkodo was the major shareholder of Leshan Money House.
Liu Hua was just speculating. After all, when Concubine Tong came to the palace to give rewards to Yikun Palace, Su Xi had told Xiao Yunzi that Concubine Tong was really generous and had a good father.
Most of the high-ranking officials and nobles had deposited money in Leshan Money House. Liu Hua was really lucky, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
Liu Hua looked at Tong Jia Yunrong, who was pretending to be scared, calmly.
Just as Qingyun said, there was no way to find anything on Liu Hua.
Liu Hua's banknotes were delivered by Lin Rulan on a fast boat, so they must be from a bank in Jiangsu or Zhejiang.
Liu Hua sneered in his heart, recalling the tender love between Yinzhen and Tong Jia Yunrong.
He also noticed that Yinzhen's face was gradually showing a "compassionate smile", which made it almost certain.
Yinzhen and Longkodo are still in the honeymoon period when Nian Gengyao is away from political affairs, so they will not fall out immediately.
"Most of the money houses in Kyoto come from here. Why are you so suspicious of your cousin?"
Yinzhen began to appease An Lingrong again and showed his ability to keep things balanced in front of Liu Hua.
An Lingrong suppressed her nausea and said in a rough, hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, I am fine. I hope Your Majesty will have mercy on me."
Yinzhen laughed dryly twice, gave some gifts, and then went to talk about tea and books with Tong Jia Yunrong.
Liu Hua and Cao Qinmo exchanged a glance, and Cao Qinmo added fuel to the fire, standing up and saying, "The reputation of Leshan Bank is excellent, and its banknotes are jointly issued with the government.
Xiao Yunzi received one thousand taels of silver! There must be a record of it."
Tong Jia Yunrong became cautious instantly. She had indeed never given Xiao Xizi any banknotes, because her man was not Xiao Xizi at all, but a bean merchant who purchased mung beans.
The possibility of finding out the truth outside the palace is too small. Even if the truth is found in Tong Mansion, what's the difficulty in finding a scapegoat?
It’s a pity that some people are taking advantage of the situation. Is it appropriate to repair it?
But Liu Hua knew that everyone seemed to have ignored Concubine Duan who continued to claim to be sick and was kept in a secluded corner.
Yinzhen looked at An Lingrong, who was poisoned and silenced, and he already had a plan in mind.
No matter how beautiful An Lingrong's singing voice was, he had very little impression of her.
Besides, Hong Zhou, who can prove his fertility, is fine, so why bother to investigate?
If Longkodo is really found out, how will Yinzhen end up?
Liu Hua looked at Yinzhen, and anger appeared on his face again.
But it was absolutely impossible to deal with Longkodo for the sake of a concubine who had just become a concubine and had not given birth to a real child for him.
Yinzhen had already sat down and finished his tea, and had no intention of investigating further.
He said directly: "Jiang Zhongmin, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, is incompetent and must be beaten to death immediately!"
Liu Hua learned from Xiao Yunzi that after Jiang Zhongmin came to power, he adopted many godsons and also liked to be a talented boy.
I have already accumulated a large number of contacts, which will be beneficial whether the persuasion is successful or not.
At least Xiao Yunzi can harass them secretly.
Liu Hua covered her mouth, imitating Tong Jia Yunrong's behavior. She bit her tongue again, and instantly, tears welled up in her eyes.
She sobbed, "Your Majesty, things in this palace are hard to guard against. Jiang Zhongmin is already very capable, and he has learned a lesson this time.
If it weren't for him, someone else would have been able to handle it. Your Majesty, how about you be lenient with him?"
Yinzhen looked at Liu Hua. He knew very well that Liu Hua and An Lingrong were one.
In this matter, Yinzhen felt guilty towards An Lingrong, so he might as well give her some compensation.
But it's not a good idea to punish him too lightly, "Let's just give him 60 strokes of the cane."
Xiao Xiazi behind Su Peisheng immediately pulled Jiang Zhongmin out.
Jiang Zhongmin had originally prepared himself for death, but after seeing this situation he relaxed a bit.
He stuffed the banknote tied to his arm into Xiao Xiazi's sleeve and whispered outside Yonghe Palace, "Eunuch Xia, please be careful."
Xiao Xiazi smiled complacently and said, "Of course, the punishment will depend on what the higher-ups say."
Liu Hua understood the level of Yinzhen, the master of keeping things balanced, and said nothing more. Yinzhen simply lost some rare antiques, so he just dispersed them.
Tong Jia Yunrong returned to Xiekun Palace with some worry, but stopped at the palace gate, looked at the plaque and said, "This Yikun Palace is just like that.
By the way, is my birthday coming up soon? The Emperor has given me a gift. I might as well give the Emperor a surprise too.
Qingyun said happily: "Those special gifts have been prepared by this servant long ago."
Yonghe Palace
The Fourth Prince looked at Liu Hua, who had a lively and pretty face but was dressed in an old-fashioned way.
Liu Hua looked at Hongli who was sitting at the low table and said meaningfully, "Indeed, Fourth Prince should be more careful. The people in the palace are treacherous."
Hongli smiled and passed it by. Liu Hua accidentally glanced at the list of embroiderers and asked, "The Fourth Prince is 14 years old this year and will be selected soon.
After your royal father has decided on the concubine, you will also have to choose some concubines.
By the way, do you want to choose a wife? We can get married when you’re 16 next year.”
Liu Hua was still a little embarrassed when she said these words. After all, she was only in her early 20s and had already started to arrange to choose a wife for Hongli.
Hongli was no ordinary person. He knew very well that with his current status, he would not be able to choose a daughter of a prominent family.
So he respectfully retorted to Liu Hua: "My son is concentrating on his studies and does not want to get married."
Liu Hua put on the face of an elder and said seriously: "That won't do. You are a prince, so you should follow the rules of a prince. Let's choose a concubine first."
Liu Hua was not forcing Hongli, she said this only because it was her responsibility.
Hongli nodded and said, "It's up to my mother to decide."
Liu Hua's eyes accidentally swept over Guaerjia Wenyuan's name, but then shook his head.
It would be better to marry her to a prince's son.
Liu Hua bowed to the jade Buddha sent by Wuya Chengbi, hoping that he could go through the draft in half a month safely.
Thinking of the portraits sent to Beijing, Fu Rujin must be the most outstanding one.
Liu Hua laughed in silence. If he didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, how could he possibly get through it easily by asking for their blessings?
