Chapter 36
The cherry-like lips are already in front of you, and you only need to lower your head to touch them.
I never knew I would hear her say that at this time.
Yu Wenlan was stunned for a moment, and said, "What?"
Yan Shu said it again, "That is, if someone associates the concubine and Young Master Xiaoyao together in the past few days, please ask Your Majesty to help the concubine to block it."
Yu Wenlan frowned again and asked her, "Why would someone associate you with Young Master Xiaoyao?"
Could it be that something happened that he didn't know about?
Sure enough, she saw her cough and said, "That's... A while ago, the concubine discovered that someone was stealing the waste paper thrown out of the palace of the concubine. I guess she wanted to find out what the concubine was writing."
Yu Wenlan frowned again, "Someone Stealing your waste paper? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yan Shu thought to herself, how bad would it be to tell me earlier?
If she had said it earlier, at most he would have sent someone to capture the minion who was catching the waste paper.
However, even if it can be found that the person is in the palace of Concubine An, Concubine An can say that she does not know how to clear the suspicion. After all, stealing some garbage in the palace is not a serious crime.
How can it compare to the current situation, first messing with the opponent's camp, and then watching the opponent be flustered, doubting life, and collapsing beliefs, so happy?
Of course, with An Concubine's mind, after reading the small material she deliberately released before, and seeing the official masterpiece today, it is very likely that she will be associated with Young Master Xiaoyao.
She was not afraid of what happened to An Concubine, she just wanted to do the preparatory work with the emperor first.
After all, as she writes more and more books in the future, it will inevitably lead to more speculation. Only the identity of the emperor can perfectly quell all kinds of doubts and make people convince without temper.
Hehe, fortunately, I have long thought of a pen name for a man, so it is more suitable for the emperor to use.
Yu Wenlan, who was listening silently, "???"
Co-author, this is a hole that has been dug and waiting for him?
In front of her eyes, she was still making excuses as if she was okay, "Because the concubine doesn't know who is stealing the trash, so even if she wants to report to His Majesty, she can't do anything about it."
Yu Wenlan sneered, "Then Why do you remember to tell me now?"
Yan Shu said with peace of mind, "It's because Your Majesty said that he would protect his concubine. Didn't the concubine tell you?
" At the time, anyway, the text book has half of your ideas, no matter what! 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Lai Ren is still confident?
However, it was rare for her to beg herself once. Besides, if you don't help your own woman, who will help?
So he said, "Of course I count, and you should come to me earlier on this matter. But it's getting late, so I'll make arrangements tomorrow morning."
Yan Shu hurriedly responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."
[Tomorrow morning It's not too late, I think that An Concubine and her mother's family will definitely not be able to sleep tonight hehe...]
She was quietly happy when she saw Yu Wenlan pulling her into her arms and said, "I'm here. In front of you, don't think about the mess."
Yan Shu was stunned for a while, and said stubbornly, "I don't have a concubine..." Before she
could finish her words, her lower back was pinched lightly.
Yan Shu was shocked, but saw him raise her eyebrows and said, "The price of lying."
Yan Shu was taken aback and said hurriedly, "I dare not..."
Tsk, why does this person seem to have the ability to read minds...
But thoughts Just got up, but drowned in a kiss.
~~
As Yan Shu expected, the Ritual Minister's Office was brightly lit tonight.
And in Lanlin Hall, An Concubine didn't sleep a night.
An Concubine thought about it a lot -
the matter of grandfather and second aunt is 80% true. Maybe Achang really is the flesh and blood of the two of them...
Although she really doesn't want to face it, it's a fact.
The most important thing now is - what happened to Li Yanshu's waste paper?
Also, what is her relationship with Young Master Xiaoyao?
Why does her waste paper and Xiaoyao's words book say the same thing?
Why both of them know grandfather's secret! ! !
The more she thought about it, the more she shuddered.
Could it be that... Li Yanshu is actually Young Master Xiaoyao?
But how could she have the ability to know the secrets of so many ministers?
After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally got up from the tent and called Liu Di, saying, "Go and tell Shuangxi, go and wait outside the Ganlu Palace now, don't miss anything you throw from it, and show it to me. "
Liu Di was busy, and quickly went out to spread the word.
Shuangxi can only hurried to the outside of Ganlu Palace.
After finally waiting from the early morning until dawn, and from dawn until the sun rises three poles, I finally saw someone from the Nectar Hall come out with a paper basket.
He immediately followed quietly, and when the other party finished dumping the trash in the trash, he hurriedly picked it up and hurried to the Lanlin Temple.
Unexpectedly, before taking a few steps, several people suddenly rushed out from the roadside and shouted to him, "Stop! What did you do with such a sneaky look?"
Shuangxi was startled, looked up and saw that it was Yao Shun, the chief supervisor of the inner court.
The Inner Court Supervisor is a place that can eat people without spitting out bones. Shuangxi immediately panicked, "No, nothing to do..."
But before the words were finished, the other party had already grabbed him in his hands, and he began to search without saying a word.
The waste paper he had hidden immediately poured down.
But seeing Yao Shun pick up a piece of paper and look at it, he suddenly frowned and said, "How dare you steal His Majesty's handwriting? Arrest him and torture him!"
...
An Concubine didn't sleep all night, and at dawn, she waited for the news from her mother's house. , said the grandfather was still unable to get out of bed, and asked several doctors to say that it was a stroke.
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Once grandfather had a stroke, it would be equivalent to saying goodbye to officialdom, and it would be difficult for the Song family to find a way in the future.
However, before she could come up with a good solution, she saw the palace maid Mei Xue hurried to report again, "It's not good, master, Shuangxi has called the inner court supervisor to arrest him!"
"What?"
An Concubine was suddenly shocked.
——You must know that even if Shuangxi is seen picking up the garbage in the Ganlu Palace, it is not a big crime. There are often people in this palace picking up leftovers, leftovers, rags, and the like.
How can you get involved with the inner court supervisor?
But he heard Mei Xue say, "So it turns out that the garbage he picked up at Ganlu Palace contains His Majesty's handwriting."
His Majesty's handwriting?
An Concubine was startled, and suddenly a bad premonition arose.
However, at this moment, he saw Fu Hai come to the palace, and said with a serious face, "Your Majesty is in the Ci'an Palace, please ask your maiden to come over and ask questions."
...
An Concubine walked all the way, and she kept thinking in her heart, why is there in the trash can ? Will there be His Majesty's handwriting?
She suddenly felt vaguely that Li Yanshu was planning to seduce her from the very beginning.
When they came to Ci'an Palace all the way, they saw that in addition to the queen mother and king, Li Yanshu was also standing aside. In addition, there was Yao Shun, the chief supervisor of the inner court.
After she bowed to the Empress Dowager, she heard Yao Shun say, "Just now, the servant caught a little eunuch outside the Ganlu Palace, and sneakily tried to steal His Majesty's handwriting. After investigation, it was the Lanlin Palace who dared to ask the concubine Anbi, But you asked him to go?"
An Concubine hurriedly said, "I actually only found out about this matter, please Your Majesty to take a look at it, the concubine doesn't know about it." After the
voice fell, Yao Shunchao waved to the side, and saw someone dragging a man with a blue nose and a swollen face and a bloody face to the front. It is none other than Double Happiness.
An Concubine was shocked, but she insisted, "This is indeed a servant in the palace of the concubine, but the concubine doesn't know why he is like this, and this is definitely not the order of the concubine."
After staying in the palace for so long, she knew that as long as She doesn't confess her guilt, and Shuangxi doesn't confess, so no one can force the charge on her.
The voice fell, but the king said, "Drag down and continue to torture."
Yao conformed to this, and asked people to drag Shuangxi down again.
An Concubine's face was calm, but her heart was already very nervous.
Stealing garbage is a small matter, but stealing His Majesty's handwriting is a serious crime.
Once it is stained, it is not an exaggeration to be killed.
At this moment, he heard the king speak again, "Even if it's not your order, it's someone in your palace."
An Concubine hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head, "It's because the concubine didn't discipline the palace staff well, it's indeed the concubine who neglected her duty. Please forgive me."
Yu Wenlan looked at the Queen Mother again and said, "This is not a trivial matter. If you bypass it, I don't know how many people in the harem will follow suit. Once it spreads, it will be a joke." The
Queen Mother could only nod her head and said, "That's true."
Yu Wenlan turned to An Concubine again, "You don't have to worry about the Internal Affairs Bureau. Before the matter is clear, you will be confined in the hall and cannot come out again."
An Concubine felt tight.
Once grounded, she can't help her with her grandfather's affairs!
However, she herself was at stake at this time.
She could only kneel to answer, "I will obey the order." Then she
got up and left the Ci'an Palace.
——The plan for now is to wait for Shuangxi to bear the guilt herself, and when he dies, she will be able to clear the suspicion.
It's just Li Yanshu's business, but how do I check it again?
Behind him, the Empress Dowager suddenly said, "This little eunuch picked up garbage in the harem, how did you steal His Majesty's handwriting?"
Yu Wenlan said without changing his face, "I see that Yi Concubine's handwriting is not good, and I have been calling her for a while now. When practicing calligraphy, sometimes there is no copybook, so I will write a copy of what is called her copying. It is probably because the paper in the Ganlu Temple has been used a lot recently, which has moved the minds of those who have a heart." The
queen mother already knew it and didn't say anything more.
After all, she gave An Concubine the job of being in charge of the Internal Affairs Bureau. She didn't expect an accident to happen so soon.
The emperor put the scene in her palace today, didn't he just want her to be speechless?
Also an idiot, that's all.
But she nodded and said, "This is a good habit."
Yuwenlan hummed, and suddenly said, "I heard that the Minister of Rites is ill." The
Queen Mother sighed, "Yes, yesterday, Concubine An came to beg the Aijia. I called the imperial doctor to see the patient. Later, the imperial doctor came to the Ai family to report that the Minister of Rites had suffered a stroke. I am sorry, this disease is troublesome, and some are guilty."
Yu Wenlan nodded, taking advantage of the situation. Said, "It's an old minister anyway, I should ask someone to come over and take a look."
Everyone in Ci'an Palace heard it, and they all thought that he was taking the initiative to repair the relationship with the Queen Mother.
After all, the Minister of Rites was the Queen Mother, and the king sent someone to offer condolences, wouldn't it be the same as having the Queen Mother's face?
The Queen Mother didn't think much, just nodded, "It is also an honor for His Majesty to have such a considerate heart."
~ After a
while, Yan Shu followed Yu Wenlan to leave the Ci'an Palace.
She was fortunate enough to rub it back to the imperial carriage, and while no one was around, she hurriedly asked Yu Wenlan, "When does Your Majesty plan to send someone to the Song family?"
Yu Wenlan said, "Let's wait until I think about the manpower, what's the matter?"
Yan Shu said, "It's nothing, the concubine just thought, the Song family is probably busy recently, and His Majesty's people have to go to the right time.
" , this time must be seized, it is best to catch up with the mess in their house, and watch the excitement all at once! 】
Yu Wenlan, "..." That's
right, as if she could go.
Unexpectedly, I heard her sigh with regret, [If only I could go. ]
——After catching an adulterer on the road last time, she found that eating melons on the spot was different.
For example, if he didn't follow that Zhao Chengwen, how would he know that the princess' concubine would not last forever?
So if you can go to the scene to eat, you still have to go to the scene, and the details are also very important!
But I don't know, the man beside me was beating brows uncontrollably, and hurriedly said, "I will find a trusted minister sometime, don't worry. Let's go back and think about your book."
Tsk, this girl, what are you talking about? It doesn't last long!
~ ~
The Ministry of Rites Shang Shufu.
Seeing that Yang shi has been locked up for a day, the anger in his body has not yet been vented. He was throwing bowls and kicking tables and chairs again, still clamoring to go out.
After a lot of commotion, a steward finally came and said to her outside the door, "Second madam, the eldest master has already spoken, and it was you who made such a fuss about the master. Until the master gets better, you stay in the room honestly. , don't think about coming out again."
Yang scolded immediately, "You guys really will put shit on people's heads! Bully me to be honest, bully no one to call the shots for me, right? Be careful, let's be anxious and let the fish die and the net break!!!"
And In the front yard at this time, the couple from the Song family's eldest house had just received a letter from the palace, saying that it was their only hope at the moment, and their daughter, An Concubine, was also grounded.
The husband and wife were naturally stunned and wanted to find out the reason, but the person who came to deliver the letter just left a word and left.
Just when the husband and wife were anxious like ants on a hot pot, the scolding of the second room Yang's came from their ears.
Tian scolded, "I don't think the house is not messy enough for this person who doesn't know the whole thing? I really want to sew her mouth!" The
voice fell, but seeing her husband Song Yuankui paused, he suddenly lowered his voice, "Then don't call her. I'll call again."
~
Yang's troubled until the evening, and finally got tired.
It happened that dinner was brought outside, and she was about to eat it, but suddenly a servant entered the room and said, "Second madam, wait, be careful that the food is poisonous."
She was startled, and immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks. He looked at the other party in doubt and said, "How do you know?" The
servant didn't answer her, just took a little rice and vegetables and threw them into the fish basin in the room. In an instant, all the fish in the fish basin turned over their stomachs. .
Yang Shi was shocked, and immediately said angrily, "Okay! They dare to kill people! I'll go out and judge with them!"
The servant stopped her, "Second madam, calm down, they are trying to put you around Death, if you go out now, you will startle the snakes instead, and when they come hard, how can you escape?"
Yang shi finally woke up, and said with a look of fear, "Then what should I do, wait to die here? But she saw the other party asking her, "
Second madam, why do they want to harm you?"
Yang's heart was empty, and he hesitated, "They are probably afraid that something happened to the grandfather, and the second room will fight with them for the family property..."
The little servant But he smiled and said, "You should be clear in your heart, it's okay to say different things, but now there is only one chance to save you."
Yang hurriedly asked, "What chance?"
The other party said, "Your Majesty has sent a few adults to visit the grandfather, and he is about to arrive at the mansion. This is the only time you can ask for help. If you miss it, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to save you."
Yang Shi was startled, After thinking for a while, he finally nodded.
Not long after, the prince sent a special envoy to the Song Mansion.
The visitor did not say hello, so Song Yuankui, the eldest master of the Song residence, could only go out to greet him in a hurry.
When he met people, he was surprised to find that there were three special envoys -
Li Hongsheng, the Minister of Personnel, and Ji Wenchi, the newly appointed Minister of the Household. There is also Xun Fei, the commander of Jinyiwei.
Song Yuankui was stunned,
this battle was beyond expectations.
The other two are considered important court officials at the same level as his father, but the commander of Jin Yiwei... what happened?
Although he was puzzled, he welcomed the three of them to the mansion first.
The three naturally went to see the Minister of Rites first.
But seeing that he was unable to speak or move and could only lie on the bed, he had to express the king's condolences and came out.
Song Yuankui accompanied him all the way, but listened to the official secretary, "Sir Song's body and bones have always been very healthy, and I didn't hear any discomfort a few days ago. How did this happen all of a sudden?"
Song Yuankui could only say, " It's probably because there are too many chores in the family recently, and we juniors have neglected to care for our father... After all, it's not good to be humble."
The three people didn't say anything, only comforted him a few words before leaving. .
Song Yuankui sent a few people out.
However, just after going out of the room, I heard a loud howling sound, a woman with hair disheveled rushed to several people and cried, "Please help a few adults, their Song family is going to kill people!"
...
the second day , A piece of news shocked the court and the public, leaving the entire city dumbfounded.
——Song Zhiyun, the Minister of Rites, was morally corrupt, disregarding human relations, and even occupying and humiliating his daughter-in-law for nearly 20 years.
After the shock, the officials and the common people from top to bottom no one spurned this person.
But then, another jaw-dropping news came out -
it turned out that even the son born by his second daughter-in-law Yang was also the flesh and blood of the old man.
Song Yunchang, the son of the second house of the Song family, whose name is his grandson, is actually his son.
Everyone didn't know what to say, so they could only spit and shake their heads, calling the old man absurd.
——Actually, Mr. Yang didn’t mention his son at first.
But I didn't expect that at the critical moment, her husband Song Yuanwei, who was so weak that he could not help walking with panting, stood up by himself and identified that the son was not his.
It turned out that Song Yuanwei already knew everything.
After getting married that year, he only had the same room with Yang's twice, and each time it did not match the date of the child's subsequent birth.
Because of this, he was depressed all the year round, which made his condition worse, but he didn't have the courage to break free from the shackles of family affection, so he could only numb himself and let the two mess around.
Until a few days ago, I saw Young Master Xiaoyao's new work.
He just remembered that there might be another possibility in his life.
As soon as this matter was exposed, the king immediately removed the old man Song Zhiyun from all official positions and names, and demoted him to a commoner.
Immediately afterwards, his eldest son Song Yuankui, who was both An Concubine's biological father, was also dismissed and held accountable for crimes such as attempted murder and blatant oppression of civilians. In the end, he was punished for several crimes and exiled to the border.
And An Concubine was also removed from her position because she instructed the palace staff to steal the king's handwriting, and was sent to the Yuzhen Palace, which was dedicated to imprisoning criminal women of the royal family, and never saw the light of day again.
Fortunately, the king was rewarded and punished clearly, and the second son of the Song family, Song Yuanwei, was the victim, and he had the courage to expose his father's evil deeds, saving him from being implicated by his family.
After Song Yuanwei thanked him, he packed his bags and left the capital, disappearing from everyone's sight.
No, he can really achieve the ending in the book.
~~
Although the curtain has come to an end, this matter is still in the palace and outside the palace, on the streets and alleys, and has been discussed by people for a long time after dinner.
Ren Dong also sighed with Yan Shu when he had nothing to do in his spare time, "I didn't expect that the bigger the family, the more filthy they could hide. Look at what kind of people this family is? Fortunately, the second master of the Song family is there. After leaving the capital, how can I live if I stay?"
"But then again, where did the Yang family go?"
Yan Shu said while nibbling on the melon seeds, "Didn't you go to serve the old man? Anyway, the two of you She has done husband and wife affairs a long time ago, and there is no one in the Song family. She doesn't care who cares? Her son is still the old man's, so he can be regarded as a farewell to the old man."
Thinking of this, Ren Dong still couldn't help but pouted. , "It's disgusting, and they deserve to disgust themselves in the end."
Then she asked her curiously, "Why haven't you written a script for the past two days?"
Yan Shu sighed, "I'm tired, I want to rest."
——Cough, she was actually avoiding the limelight.
This time, the book "A Husband Stands Up" once again mentions the matter of the Shangshufu of the Ministry of Rites, which arouses the shock of the outside world, and once again speculates on her identity.
Some people even say that she is a god who came into the world to punish the wicked.
Of course, there are also smart people who guess that her identity is not ordinary -
so brave to expose the scandal of officials who are not afraid of power, and also said so accurately, it is very likely that she is a close friend of His Majesty, an important member of the DPRK and the like.
Anyway... she has to lower the heat.
It is better to ask the people to put their enthusiasm on production and life first, and it is not very good to read the book all day.
Take it easy, take it easy.
Of course, the most important thing is that the book she has written recently is not suitable for publication.
For example, in the case of Zhao Chengwen, the consort, since the emperor has not told the eldest princess, he must have his plans. If she rashly publishes a book to let the eldest princess know about her cuckolding, it would be bad to cause bloodshed.
On the contrary, there are still a few books in stock, but they are all colored, and the emperor does not allow them.
Really boring.
While nibbling on the melon seeds, she was thinking about what to write when she saw Lian Xin came in and reported, "Master, the Queen Mother said that the Ci'an Palace made some cakes, please try it."
Yan Shu was stunned, the Queen Mother Call him for a snack?
Geez, what kind of medicine is this selling?
Of course she couldn't refuse, so she quickly changed her clothes and went to Ci'an Palace.
It was only when he arrived at the place that he found out that the emperor was also there, wearing a dark blue dragon robe, listening to the queen mother.
"Ai's family really lost his sight. I thought it was a lady from a famous family, and she knew the book and reason, but I didn't expect that the famous family was not a famous family, and people had vicious thoughts. It was really filthy and filthy."
Yan Shu heard it, what the Queen Mother said was An Concubine.
Tsk, actually think about it, the queen mother is also very tired.
——Seeing that my niece couldn't support the wall, I finally found someone with a bit of IQ, but I didn't expect the family to be so unsatisfactory.
However, Yu Wenlan said, "It's their fault, it has nothing to do with the queen mother." The
queen mother hummed, then turned her attention to Yan Shu and said, "Sit down, Aijia asked them to make some taro cakes today. With the double bean cake, I heard that you like to eat it, so I asked you to come and try it."
Yan Shu bowed her knees, "I thank the Queen Mother for your concern."
She sat down beside her.
The palace servants brought refreshments, which looked good.
Although Yan Shu was a little greedy, she still knew how bad it was. She knew that the Queen Mother didn't just want to invite her to eat snacks.
However, it still has to be done.
So she took a piece of double bean cake.
Before he could put it into his mouth, he heard the Queen Mother say, "By the way, I heard that there is a very good writer on the market recently, what does it seem to be called... Young Master? It is said that what he wrote is exactly the same as the real thing, even Na Xie Pei and the Song family have been seriously mentioned by him, and I don't know who has such great ability, can it be possible to predict whether it will happen?"
Yan Shu was stunned, and her heart really came.
But it doesn't matter, there is an emperor today anyway.
It's time for him to play.
Sure enough, Yu Wenlan and the queen mother said, "I asked someone to write it." The queen
mother looked surprised, "What? Your majesty asked someone to write it? Why is your majesty like this?"
I had already heard about the incident, so I asked people to check it. I wrote it into a book, first to warn the world, so that everyone should not follow in its footsteps; secondly, I wanted to save face for them. If they can take the initiative to surrender themselves. , I can handle it leniently."
"But I didn't expect that instead of repenting, they intensified, which is really disappointing." The
voice fell, the queen mother paused, and Fang nodded, "This method is really good, it's a pity they It's too unprofessional. I hope that after these few times, other people can be warned."
Then he said in his heart, "It really wasn't Li Yanshu, but the emperor. I just said, where does this girl have such great ability? 】
【But... is the emperor already so powerful? 】
Yuwenlan listened silently in his ears and said nothing.
However, Yan Shu was silently amazed by the side.
As far as she knew, although An Concubine had some doubts, she was locked in the Lanlin Temple before the truth was confirmed, and she had no way to communicate with the outside world.
So today's Queen Mother's question is entirely her own judgment.
Today, I brought her and the emperor together, and I suddenly asked this question. The queen mother probably wanted to see if she would show her flaws.
Mother's queen mother is really powerful. Fortunately, she was not born in this session, otherwise she would not know how many times she died in the hands of the queen mother!
At this moment, I heard a ding from the system, [Hey, the queen mother used to be innocent and cute. 】
