"Your Majesty, there's movement at Furongxuan."
About half an incense stick of time later, a guard came to report.
Furong Pavilion wasn't far from the theater, but it was in the opposite direction of Changqing Palace. When everyone rushed over, they saw several guards standing guard outside the door.
The door of Furongxuan was closed and the lights inside were dim, which made people imagine a lot.
"Madame Li, please go inside and take a look."
It was the Empress Dowager who spoke. After all, the missing people were officials' families, so it was inevitable that the guards would have some concerns.
"yes."
Nanny Li called a maid with a lantern to join her. Just as she was about to push open the palace door, she heard a faint cry coming from inside.
With a flick of his hand, the door opened.
In the candlelight, Nanny Li saw two bodies entangled together, making love on the ground without any ceremony, but the posture looked strange no matter how she looked at it.
"ah--"
The maid was startled when she approached. When the candle in her hand fell, she saw a black shadow rushing out.
When everyone heard the noise and entered, Concubine Yue followed behind the Queen. She immediately saw the woman lying on the ground with her clothes completely removed. When her eyes fell on her face, she stepped forward and slapped her, "Qin Min'er, what are you doing?!"
The girl seemed to wake up suddenly, and when she reacted and realized her situation, she screamed and protected herself with her clothes.
Thinking of Qin Ji's explanation, he immediately said: "My Lady, please save me. I was drugged by someone. It was Jiang——"
Before Qin Min'er could finish her words, two guards pushed the black shadow that had just tried to escape back in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare my life!"
After seeing the man clearly, everyone was shocked.
Who could have thought that the person who did such a thing with the girl from the Qin family in this deep palace was actually a eunuch!
The eunuch knelt on the ground, his head nearly broken. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare me! I was forced to do this! It was all Miss Qin. She said she was drunk and wanted to rest, and asked me to lead the way. But who knew, as soon as I brought her here, she closed the door and wouldn't let me leave!"
"What nonsense!"
Qin Min'er was a daughter of the Qin family after all. When Concubine Yue heard this, she couldn't bear to offend him. She stepped forward and slapped the eunuch in the face.
"Noble Concubine Yue! The Emperor is here, how can you be so presumptuous!" The Queen shouted angrily, then glanced at Nanny Xin, who hurriedly helped her master aside.
"Your Majesty! Putting aside the fact that I am not even a man, even if I had a hundred heads, I would not dare to lay a hand on the young lady of the official family!"
The young eunuch was extremely depressed. He still couldn't figure out why things had turned out like this!
It was clearly Miss Qin who gave him a lot of silver and asked him to find an opportunity to bring the drunk fifth young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Mubai, to Furongxuan to rest. He did bring the person over, but he fainted as soon as he entered the door.
When he woke up again, the young lady from the Qin family pounced on him as if she was in heat. He didn't know what was going on, and his brain was filled with blood, so he just didn't care.
Now think about it, isn’t it true that I have been tricked?
The eunuch was not stupid. If he tried to expose the young master of the Jiang family now, he would not only have no evidence, but would also offend the General's Mansion, and his death would be even faster! It would be better to just throw this matter to Miss Qin. Thinking of this, the eunuch dug out a banknote from under his feet and said, "Your Majesty, look! This is what Miss Qin gave me. She wants to silence me, Your Majesty!"
Qin Min'er seemed to have only just realized what she had just done. She could no longer say anything and fainted.
When things got to this point, the irony on the faces of those present was obvious.
This Qin Min'er, what she's doing is really too...
As for Qin Ji, who had been staying behind the crowd like a military strategist who was sure of victory, he finally started to move. He kept pushing away the people blocking his way. When he reluctantly rushed to the front and confirmed the person kneeling on the ground, he felt a surge of blood and energy, and fell backwards like Qin Min'er.
At the last moment of losing consciousness, Qin Ji heard a familiar voice in his ears - "Tsk tsk, all evil will eventually be punished, and those who harm others will eventually harm themselves."
It’s Jiang Li.
"Ji'er!" Mrs. Qin Xiang screamed and rushed over.
A chaotic night.
Everyone only remembered that the once prosperous Qin Mansion had fallen into decline in just a few days.
It was not a pity that the second master Qin committed a serious crime and died, but what was unexpected was that even Prime Minister Qin was fined three years' salary and suspended from his post for half a year by the emperor in the name of "rectifying family traditions."
You have to know that in the court, the situation changes in an instant. After half a year, I'm afraid the opportunity will be gone.
Moreover, after that night, all the children of the Qin family were implicated.
After the news of the talented Qin Shuang'er drowning in the palace spread, Qin Min'er's absurd deeds also leaked out quietly, so that the girls of the Qin family were successively broken off from engagement, and the Qin family's side branches that were originally the most obedient often came to make trouble because of this.
Therefore, the Qin Mansion, which was once bustling with people, simply announced that it would be closed and would no longer see guests.
As for Jiang Mubai, who was being attacked by Qin Xiang's wife, he appeared with the Minister of Rites when everyone was about to leave.
Only then did the emperor know that before the opera was about to begin, Jiang Mubai went backstage to discuss the lines with the troupe owner as soon as he heard the name of the piece. Several lines in the play that made everyone feel quite excited were all revised by Jiang Mubai.
Although the young man had not yet been on the battlefield, his patriotic heart was evident. The emperor's thoughts returned, and remembering the unprovoked slander he had received, he said gently, "You are a boy of extraordinary talent. I will bestow upon you the title of the most gifted scholar in the capital. What do you think?"
There are too many things rewarded to the general's mansion today. The emperor thinks that they should live frugally. But if he wants to reward a title or something, that would be easy.
Jiang Mubai nodded stupidly and knelt down to express his gratitude.
He remembered that when the palace banquet was over, his sister asked Baizhi to send him a message, saying that if he found anything wrong with the drink, he should pretend to be drunk, and the fish would naturally be caught.
In addition, he noticed that his sister didn't eat much tonight, thinking that she had something on her mind. Jiang Mubai didn't say anything else, but he could see that he was a first-class judge.
Otherwise, he is obviously full of talent, but he is doing very well in the circle of playboys in Beijing.
Sure enough, before the palace banquet ended, someone came to toast him, and as soon as he accepted it, he smelled something wrong. After he followed the eunuch into Furong Pavilion, he watched helplessly as Mo Qi knocked the eunuch unconscious. He then quietly returned to the theater and, as his sister had instructed, found an excuse to stay backstage.
I just didn't expect that there would be such a good thing after this.
When everyone had completely dispersed, Jiang Mubai felt that his arm was about to be swollen from being pinched by his mother. Later, when he realized what he had almost been tricked into, he began to feel scared.
No wonder my sister gave him a pill before the palace banquet. She knew he would be tricked.
Thinking of this, he quietly approached Jiang Li and asked, "Sister, what's going on with Qin Min'er?"
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Those who harbor cunning schemes will eventually perish. I can only say that the Qin family has really invested heavily in you this time."
