In the palace.

Concubine Yang was getting angry at the little palace maid. Today, the wife was ordered to enter the palace. In front of so many noble ladies, Empress Ni seemed to have done it intentionally, and actually ranked her seat with the Red Beauty, regardless of the difference.

It was an insult to her. The Red Beauty was just a beauty. If it weren't for the emperor's praise, she would not be qualified to accept the worship of the wife. This would be a last seat. But Queen Ni obviously asked her to humiliate her and actually let her go with this little bitch.

People sit together.

It was really annoying to think about it. Concubine Yang thought of the eyes of the ladies and some sarcasm, as if she was mocking her for losing favor.

At the beginning, she entered the palace at the same time as Yan Concubine, and was favored almost at the same time, but she was always trampled by Yan Concubine. Finally, she was unable to survive until Yan Concubine died of dying from childbirth. She was the only one in the harem who could comfort the sad emperor.

Unexpectedly, in a few days of glorious days, the beauty of Hong was born and gave her most of her love.

How could she be willing to be one of the many concubines in the palace who were short-lived?

Just as he was out of temper, the little palace maid ran over quickly and said to Concubine Yang hurriedly: "Empress, the emperor is coming to this side."

"Ah!" Concubine Yang looked surprised and then reacted, looking at the messy room, and said hurriedly: "Hurry, pack up these, you guys, help me to make up my makeup."

After a rush, Concubine Yang welcomed the emperor with her usual gentle smile.

"Love concubine, flatter." The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been a qualified lover. He likes the new and does not forget the old. Even those who are old and have a weaker sex, even if their favor is not there, they still treat them very favorably in life.

And he is still pretty and beautiful in Concubine Yang, so he naturally feels very pity for him.

He also heard a little about the incident in the harem today. It was said that Concubine Yang was quite wronged. During the meal, the ladies were quite excluded from Concubine Yang in order to cater to Empress Ni and please the beautiful woman Hong, so he came to comfort her.

Concubine Yang is a very skillful person, so she naturally would not express her grievances as soon as she meets her. She wanted to act like she was wronged but not verbal, so as to win the emperor's pity.

Men all like weak women, especially those who are not very strong, and they prefer to act as strong in front of the weak.

After talking for a while, the emperor suddenly said: "Today's harem meeting, Princess Ding was unable to come. I gave a reward to the princess in the name of my beloved concubine."

"The emperor is wise." Concubine Yang said softly. She knew that this was a compensation given to her by the emperor. If she rewarded Princess Ding in her name, she would make Princess Ding grateful. She was anxious for her love.

This is how some connections between the concubines in the palace and the wives of princes and ministers outside were established. If they were done well, the Ding Prince's Mansion would be her support in the future.

The emperor was also considerate. While Yang Fei was moved, she had an inexplicable feeling that was inexplicable and she couldn't help but say, "Princess Ding was unable to enter the palace this time?"

The emperor sighed, "Yes, her mother's brother passed away unexpectedly, although she is not an elder. After all, she is a biological brother. She can't go to the palace to attend the banquet with joy and talk and laugh with everyone. This is a bit bad luck in Princess.

, I have never been able to enter the palace to accept the enthronement several times."

Concubine Yang tightened the handkerchief in her hand. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. How could the Princess Ding be considered bad luck? Isn’t it just that she was unable to enter the palace? It’s good fortune, not bad luck.

Now Princess Ding has firmly taken the position of Princess and has given birth to her son. Even if there is still a final enthronement ceremony, who can still shake her status? Even if Prince Ding returns from a great merit this time, please discuss the merits.

When the emperor wants to give another beauty, who can surpass Princess Ding who gave birth to a son?

Even if this King Ding is for the sake of his son, it will not make people shake the status of the child's biological mother.

Speaking of which, this person depends on luck. If he is not lucky and has bad fate, he cannot get pregnant and have a child soon. Any glory is false. Just like her, she looks like a concubine on the surface, but in fact she can catch it.

There are at least some things, with three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor's favor must be distributed to so many people, who can keep it until the end?

The only thing she relies on is her son, but she has been unable to get pregnant for a long time, so her luck is still a little worse.

Inexplicably, Concubine Yang developed a deep jealousy towards the Princess Ding whom she had never met. Why? Why can anyone be so lucky? Can she be favored by the most handsome man in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

If Princess Ding came from a famous family and had a prominent background, she would have recognized it.

But Princess Ding is obviously just a low-ranking concubine, just like the illegitimate sisters in her family, they are all so lowly that they don’t know anything, so they can only compete for favor.

The first time she was hostile to Princess Ding was because her sister-in-law Xiuwen County Lord. Princess Ding, who was not good-looking and vulgar, was not worthy of Princes Ding, who was famous as the most beautiful man in the Zhou Dynasty.

Although later, she gradually realized that there must be a rift between the County Lord Xiuwen and the Ding Prince's Mansion. As for the rift, it is not necessary to think about it.

Some words from County Lord Xiuwen kept circling in her mind. The more she knew about the strange woman, the more she felt inexplicable.

Compared to the Red Beauty who competed for favor with her, she actually hated this woman who had never met before.

But, however, things about this woman always surround her ears as if nothing happened. From time to time, people talked about Princess Ding and how about Princess Ding.

People who obviously should have nothing to do with each other seemed to be everywhere, just like now, the emperor actually rewarded the woman in her name.

"Beloved concubine, what's wrong with you?" The emperor asked with some concern when he saw that Yang Fei looked a little wrong.

"Oh! I'm just thinking that Princess Ding is young, and her eldest brother must be not very old, why is it gone?" Concubine Yang was afraid that the emperor would see something strange, so she quickly found a topic.

"I heard that I encountered an accident." The emperor didn't take this matter seriously. Yancheng is so big, with many princes and ministers, and there are always a few people who make mistakes.

Concubine Yang's eyes turned, remembered some rumors, and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is better to give the princess justice than to reward money."

"What do you mean by beloved concubine?" The emperor looked at Yang Fei with some confusion.

Concubine Yang said softly: "Your Majesty, think about it. Princess Ding and her brother must have a deep affection. Now that the brother has passed away unexpectedly, you can imagine the grief in Princess Ding's heart. I grew up outside the palace since I was a child.

Some officials are afraid of taking responsibility and like to embellish peace... They say the murder case is an accident. Now that King Ding is not in the city, it is difficult for the princess to go out alone, so someone may take advantage of the neglect... Today, I heard a little wind

, It seems that the princess's brother was harmed by others, and this case has not been solved yet."

"There is something like this?" the emperor frowned.

Concubine Yang looked compassionate, "Your Majesty, instead of giving some rewards, you might as well give the princess a fairness and order the government to solve the case within a time limit and bring the murderer to justice."

"What my beloved concubine said is very true." The emperor was moved and wrote an imperial edict with a stroke of his pen.

The imperial edict was sent to Yancheng Mansion.

When Zhu Ying received the order, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

I don't understand why the emperor issued such an imperial edict, Guan Mengshen's death.

But no matter what the reason is, the imperial edict is an imperial edict after all. As a minister, you must not neglect anything. The case must be closed beautifully, so as not to ask that day, but he did not know what happened.

But it’s not easy to solve the case. These days, he hasn’t done anything. After all, as an official, he still has to do some things, especially the Meng family. Who knows that Meng will not pretend to behave, and suddenly took it that day

Let's ask about this matter.

But after careful investigation, I was shocked.

If Mengshen’s biggest enemy is now, it is not someone else, it is his Mengye.

The one who most hopes that Meng Shen will die should be Meng Ye.

From the last time the son sued his father, we can tell how bad the relationship between them was.

Mengshen's actions were indeed a bit sneaky. He vaguely felt that Mengshen must have been bewitched by someone behind the scenes. Perhaps the person behind the scenes was afraid that Mengshen would leak it, so he killed Mengshen and silenced him.

But after careful investigation, he discovered some things through some clues.

Before Meng Shen died, he actually poured a basin of dirty water on his son, and then escaped from a farm in the suburbs of Meng Ye. Now he wants to solve the case.

If you really want to find out, Meng Ye took action. How do you understand this case?

I believe the Lord would not want such a result.

In addition, several days have passed since the case was solved. If this matter was done by misleading, I am afraid that the killer has already escaped thousands of miles away, where can I find evidence?

But Zhu Ying could not ignore the saint's orders entering the mountain.

Well, whatever you can find is what you want. As a last resort, he had to bite the bullet and come to Meng's house.

The Meng family did not really do anything for Meng Shen, a rioter, but his son died and it was inconvenient to be at the banquet. Meng Ye naturally did not go out to the banquet. When he heard that Zhu Ying came to the door, he asked the servants to take him to the flower hall to serve tea first.

.

Zhu Ying did not come in official uniform, so it could only be considered a private visit.

After sitting down, he exchanged greetings after a few words. After all, he was not a member of the same place and did not have many common topics. Zhu Ying first expressed his regret for Meng Shen's death and then went directly to the topic and asked Meng Ye whether Meng Shen had any enemies in Yancheng.

Meng Ye had already responded to this, so he was wary of the fact that one day the man brought up the matter, thought of the good words, and said: "As the saying goes, family sluts should not be made public, but Mr. Zhu is a member of the public, and there is

I should not hide it from my official duties. When talking about this ruthless man, I will know that I can spend all day in a casino and other inferior places. What can I do if I have not offended people? If I say that I have not offended people, that is

A strange thing is that I am incompetent in teaching my son... Before the accident, the rebellious son went out to gamble again and again. I don’t know whether this matter is related to the gambling shop or other places. Where can Lord Zhu go?

Check it out.”

Zhu Ying had already checked the gambling shops and other places, and it was said that Mengshen had never been involved in those places.

This is not surprising. The people in the gambling house are not fools. Meng Shen has no money and nothing, and he is still half a foreigner. Which gambling house will let him take credit? Even if he shows Meng Ye’s son’s identity, he shows his identity as a son.

, people also need to estimate it.

The money of the children of the official family is not so easy to make. Maybe he was so angry that he sent someone to block the casino. Although the backend of the casino was hard, he might not be able to fight, but why bother such trouble?

Therefore, Mengshen's chances of debts in a gambling shop are very small. In addition, although these places are mixed, they are well-informed. He sent a lot of spies, but he did not say that Mengshen and others have made enemies in these places.

Of course, it is not impossible to say that Meng Shen is unlucky and is being photographed for no reason, but this seems too coincidental, and this coincidence is really too beneficial to Meng.

According to his investigation, Meng Shen probably planned to sue him again, this time it was worse than the last time. I heard that it also involved some romantic affairs. For men in the officialdom, some romantic affairs were more corrupt than corruption and dereliction of duty.

More serious.

Meng must have a headache for this son, and he really can't control it. He might even have to end it.

But he has handled many cases, but some cases are very strange. The more motivated he has, the less the murderer he is.

As for this case, if Meng Ye sent someone to do it, why not just do it cleanly and deal with the body directly, and it will be easier to live without seeing anyone, and it will be harder to die without seeing death.

After all, it is not a glorious thing to die a son, and he still has to hold a funeral. The prosperous affairs in the mansion were stopped, which is said to have affected Princess Ding's entry into the palace to accept the enthronement.

This has a great impact. With a cautious attitude, it is unlikely to make such low-level mistakes.
