Chapter 273: Capital Incident! Working Together

As He Zhaojun thought about it, she felt her face getting hotter and she couldn't sleep any more. She picked up a memorial and helped Wen Ziduan process it while she played a game on a sand table, trying to figure out how to win the upcoming battle.

She sorted out the current situation and wrote a long letter to report everything to the capital.

He Zhaojun looked at the carrier pigeon that circled in the air and then flapped its wings to fly towards the capital. She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for what would happen next on Dangyang Mountain.

capital.

Ever since Shao Shang captured the carrier pigeon released by Jin Yuji and learned of her plan, he has been paying close attention to her. Although there is no more obvious evidence, after weighing the pros and cons, Shao Shang still chose to inform Queen Xuan and Concubine Yue about the matter and ask them to make the decision.

In order to cover for Wen Ziduan and He Zhaojun who were far away in the southwest, Concubine Yue always claimed to be sick and did not go out. Queen Xuan also reflected deeply in the Changqiu Palace about the prince's upcoming trip to Jiaodong, and handed over all the affairs in the palace to Shao Shang.

"Palace Master Cheng, the Queen is in better spirits today. She will definitely be happier when she sees you." The palace maids on the side chattered, and it seemed that they were very depressed in Changqiu Palace.

Shao Shang sighed; what she had brought wasn't good news. She had learned that Emperor Wen was visiting Empress Xuan today, and that they were currently in Changqiu Palace, so she hurried over. She clutched the confiscated silk in her hands, her heart pounding.

"Your Majesty, Queen, I have something to report." Shao Shang presented the silk in her hand, and Cao Cheng hurriedly took it and handed it to Emperor Wen.

"This piece of silk was accidentally found by Cai Zhongchang on a carrier pigeon. The contents involve the He family. I dare not conceal it and would like to ask Your Majesty and the Empress for your decision."

Shao Shangjiang recounted how he discovered the carrier pigeon, got the note, released it, and found its landing place, and how he deduced that it was the escaped remnant of Emperor Li, Tian Shuo's gang, and what Jin Yuji did in the palace.

"This is a serious matter, Shao Shang, you must not exaggerate the facts. Is there any misunderstanding here?"

The Queen was shocked, but still felt that Jin Yuji was so different from her appearance that it was hard to believe. However, Shao Shang kept his head down and said nothing, not changing his words, nor avoiding suspicion because of his close relationship with He Zhaojun. They both knew that this matter must be true.

Emperor Wen snorted coldly, "I knew it. The affairs of the harem often leaked out. We arrested a large number of palace maids and servants, but we couldn't find out the truth. It turned out to be her. I felt sorry for her orphanage and wanted what she had, so I kept putting up with her."

Speaking of this, Shao Shang was unhappy: "Your Majesty, even if there is something you want, you should not exchange it for Sister Zhaojun's happiness. No woman in the world is so generous as to share her loved one with others."

Empress Xuan shook her head repeatedly: "When Zikun was with me, he often mentioned Jin, saying that she was cheerful, knowledgeable, and very filial. How could she do such a thing? I really don't want to believe it..."

"Empress, she is naturally good to Changqiu Palace. She chose the back garden of Yongle Palace as the place to secretly spread the news. Obviously, there are fewer people in Changqiu Palace, and it is less likely to be discovered." Shao Shang also felt sorry for Concubine Yue. The person she taught with all her heart was doing these things openly and secretly.

At this time, the clever eunuch had already invited Concubine Yue from Yongle Palace, and sneaked into Changqiu Palace without being noticed. Several people gathered together again and began to discuss how to accommodate Jin Yuji.
