Su Lijin suspected that Guo Tang was lying.
Otherwise, why would the two account books not match?
Xiao Shengxing, standing by, looked at the account book with dark eyes, as if thinking, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be wrong."
"Well, I really can't figure out the current situation." Su Lijin said in a deep voice.
She thought about it and shook her head: "But, Guo Tang has no reason to lie to me..."
As she thought about it, she thought of the jade button that Guo Tang had given her, and she felt that Guo Tang had no reason to lie to her.
These things are really strange and complicated.
Xiao Shengxing watched her frown, then relax, then frown again. He couldn't help but say, "Don't overthink it. Since you can't figure it out, let's just leave it this way for now."
This matter can only be put on hold temporarily.
Su Lijin sighed and nodded: "Yes, it is true. Anyway, I can't figure out the reason."
…
Kunning Palace.
Yan Jia put on exquisite makeup, wore a phoenix robe, and admired her own luxurious image with a very proud look on her face.
"How are those concubines?" She suddenly turned around and asked the people around her.
The eunuch beside him replied, "Your Majesty, I have already followed your instructions and secretly detained everyone."
"Just detention?" Yan Jia narrowed her eyes, with a hint of threat: "What I want is not as simple as detention."
The eunuch immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, not only have they been imprisoned, but I have also tortured them as instructed and frightened them. I didn't expect that they couldn't help being frightened, and some of them have even gone a little crazy."
"That's good." Upon hearing this result, Yan Jia's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. She curled her lips and said, "Those crazy ones, let someone keep an eye on them and don't let them run around. I don't want to see them anywhere else."
The eunuch nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take good care of it."
Yan Jia looked at her long nails and said, "Come on, follow me to the back to take a look. I want to see which other concubines are still trying to get close to the emperor."
In order to consolidate his position, he has already driven several concubines crazy.
The eunuch couldn't help but feel a little frightened that he had to go to other concubines to intimidate them at this time.
He was afraid that he would accidentally anger the queen, whose temperament had suddenly changed, and lose his life.
Thinking of this, the eunuch quickly supported Yan Jia and kept up with her pace.
The Empress Dowager only knew that several concubines had gone crazy.
"These people are so unlucky." The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and commented on the concubine's madness.
The maidservant immediately said, "Empress Dowager, the harem is suddenly empty now. Should we bring in a few more concubines for the Emperor?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother shook her head: "Forget it, just be at peace for a while."
She no longer tried to fill the emperor's harem.
The maid responded immediately: "Yes."
In the harem, Yan Jia had almost intimidated everyone, and the methods he used were so vicious that people dared not speak out.
On the other side, Su Lijin was still discussing how to deal with Yan Jia.
Tan Tai Chun said, "Your Majesty, Yan Jia was previously a double that I specially trained. She knows how to play a double beautifully, and her mindset is also trained differently from that of an ordinary double."
Su Lijin listened without saying anything.
After a pause, Tan Tai Chun continued, "Her training has always been very special, just for special situations, so that she can play a role, but I didn't expect..."
"But I didn't expect that she is the most ambitious one, right?" Su Lijin continued.
Tan Tai Chun nodded: "I didn't expect it to be like this. These things are really unexpected."
A specially trained stand-in, created to deal with special situations.
Su Lijin thought about it and felt that Yan Jia was indeed quite capable.
At least, Yan Jia must have learned a lot from Tan Tai Chun.
Otherwise, she would not have caused the current situation to change like this, and she would not have been able to temporarily occupy the magpie's nest.
Without some ability, Yan Jia couldn't take down the Queen Mother, nor could he deal with Xiao Shengxing.
Thinking of Xiao Shengxing, her eyes dimmed slightly, but soon recovered.
"Your Majesty, I feel really guilty." Tan Tai Chun has been feeling extremely guilty these past few days, and at this moment he couldn't help but sigh.
"Now is not the time to think about who is responsible."
Su Lijin looked at him and said, "The most important thing is to think about how to deal with her."
Her eyes turned, and she suddenly asked, "Do you know Yan Jia's weakness?"
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable point. If you can find its weakness, you can almost hit it with one blow and kill it instantly.
This question made Tan Tai Chun raise his eyebrows, and he seemed to be thinking about it seriously.
He pondered and said, "Speaking of it, Yan Jia is also a person with an unhappy background."
"Her family members treated her badly. The family relationships were complicated and broken, and basically no one could tolerate her. As a result, she was always despised and eventually became a beggar."
Hearing this, Su Lijin thought to herself, it turns out that Yan Jia used to be a beggar.
"No wonder, having been a beggar before, she knows how tempting a wealthy life is, which is why she's so greedy for power."
This can be explained clearly.
However, not everyone will take up other people's positions to feed their own ambitions.
Yan Jia made a mistake now, but it was her own fault for having a greedy heart.
Tan Tai Chun continued, "Yes, I once gave her a bowl of rice so that she could live a good life, but I didn't expect that she would develop an ambition for power."
