Chapter 312 The world has changed

Some people covered their mouths and laughed secretly: "The noble concubine is too involved."

"As concubines, the most important thing is to serve His Majesty well. Whatever happens in the court has nothing to do with us."

"Don't stretch your hands too far, noble concubine."

Concubine Zhang stroked her sleeves: "Thank you for your kindness, sisters. His Majesty has always doted on me. I was too proud. Sometimes I really envy you sisters. His Majesty never cares about you."

Of course, he didn't care. His Majesty almost never went to their place.

The concubines present heard her boasting and their faces were twisted with anger.

Concubine Zhang took the palace maids back to the palace and sat on the bed as soon as she returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty is clearly still thinking about that jerk Wan Yan."

"Your Majesty, you're just being nostalgic, you're afraid of hurting the people, those are all excuses."

Even though she was just a concubine who had lived in the palace for a long time, she knew that the world was in chaos and the people were living in misery.

Your Majesty had the Jinyiwei and Feiluan Army, two major forces, how could he not know?

"I wanted to take this opportunity to kick Xingyuefang out and replace it with someone from my Zhang family as the royal merchant, but it seems that it won't work."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have killed Wan Shuhua as well."

The palace maid handed over tea, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I heard that Wan Shuhua has no intention of doing business recently. He has been closed all day and has not seen any guests. Now Xingyuefang has not had any caravans going out to purchase for several months, and all kinds of goods in Xingyuefang are gone."

"No matter how much Your Majesty favors it, you can't protect Xingyuefang for long."

"It's too much of a pity that my people searched carefully when they killed Wan Yan, and Wan Yan's private vault was empty. Where else could so much money be if not in the private vault?"

"I thought she gave all the money to His Majesty, but I heard that the Feiluan Army stayed in Xingyuefang all day long, and I think they are also looking for the whereabouts of the money."

"But if the money was in Wan Shuhua's hands, how could Xingyuefang fall into such a state?"

At first, she was just worried that her people did something unclean and were afraid of being investigated by His Majesty.

After all, Wan Yan is His Majesty's money bag. If Wan Yan got into trouble, His Majesty would definitely not let it go easily.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty found out that it was her who did it, but he did not blame her. Instead, he helped her clean up the mess and erased the evidence as if he had not discovered anything, leaving Wan Shuhua nowhere to find out.

Thinking about it now, this matter is really strange.

"Wan Yan was under the surveillance of His Majesty, and there was no chance for her to transfer the treasures. So where did the money go?"

"I always feel like there is a third person stirring up trouble."

The more Concubine Zhang thought about it, the weirder it seemed. She held her head and frowned irritably.

Seeing this, the palace maid gently advised: "Your Majesty, why do you have to worry so much? His Majesty loves you so much. It would be great if you could just be your concubine comfortably. Why do you have to take risks?"

Concubine Zhang sneered at the palace maid's words: "You are short-sighted." "Your Majesty has loved so many concubines. I am not the first one, but what are the results of those concubines now?" Either they were executed prematurely or sent to the cold palace. This is still good. The worst case was that the nine clans were exterminated. When your majesty loves someone, he will embrace them even as the stars and the moon, but when he doesn't love them anymore, he will discard them like a worn-out shoe. "Your majesty's love is so cheap, you may fall in love with someone else at any time." "Only a fool like Wan Yan would believe in your majesty's favor, voluntarily become your majesty's concubine, give birth to your majesty's daughter, and work hard to make money for your majesty. " The palace maid whispered, "You can give birth to a prince. With a prince, you will naturally have someone to rely on." Concubine Zhang lay paralyzed on the bed, and said lazily, "Which concubine who was favored by your majesty did not have an heir, but what was the result?" "It would be fine if I died, but the prince would also be hated!" "It is never your majesty's favor and the prince that can guarantee your status, but power." Compared to being a concubine, isn't it more refreshing to be an emperor? The maidservants below did not take Concubine Zhang Gui's words seriously, but they did not dare to refute. "By the way, have the people I sent come back?" The maidservant shook her head: "Your Majesty, those people have been gone for more than ten days, and they haven't even sent back a letter." This is not right. The messenger pigeons fly very fast, and in more than ten days, they should be able to send back a letter. Now there has been no news for so many days, I'm afraid something has happened. Concubine Zhang Gui's heart sank: "Tell the people below to be more restrained recently and don't cause any trouble." "Yes, Your Majesty." The maidservant bowed carefully, closed the door and went out. As soon as the maidservant closed the door, she got up and found the letters in the palace and burned all the seals on the letters. The letter was not a big deal, as it would catch fire if it came in contact with fire, but the seal was made of copper and was not easy to destroy. She had no choice but to take out a knife and scratch off the words on the seal bit by bit. After finishing all this, she relaxed. "I don't know who is behind the Tongmen Pass, and how can he have such means." "When my people arrived at Tongmen Pass, they were like falling into a quagmire, without a sound." Your Majesty indulges in pleasure all day long and doesn't care about the people at all. I'm afraid he doesn't know that the sky of Tongmen Pass has changed. Not only Tongmen Pass, but the whole Dayun is going to change. Inside Tongmen Pass, Gan Fanren sat with a group of conspirators. "Although the spies have been eliminated, the people behind the scenes must have been alarmed." "If we follow the previous plan and wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival to take action, I'm afraid we will lose the initiative." If we wait for Dayun to send troops first, then Dayun must be well prepared. If we take action now, we can still catch Dayun off guard before he receives the news. Wen Yifan cupped his hands: "I think we should take action now."

Gongsun Yue nodded in agreement.

"We have counted the military equipment in the past ten days. With our current strength, it is no problem to defeat Jianan Pass." "

Then let's fight."
