Chapter 196 Entering the Palace
Here, as soon as the Queen's secret order was sent out of Yinfeng Palace, the entire Yinfeng Palace was surrounded by people sent by the Emperor, and not even a fly could be let out.
In the following two days, the Emperor directly convicted Minister Wang of a crime with thundering means, confiscated Minister Wang's entire family, restored the Gu family's innocence, and announced it to the world.
Because Minister Wang was the Queen's biological brother, the Emperor showed no bias. Even the Queen was placed under house arrest. The Dongyou Imperial City was filled with people praising the Emperor.
As for the Queen's other secret connections, they were also secretly uprooted by the Emperor.
As for Su Xin, she has now changed her name to Luo Jin. She has been staying in the new house in the imperial city for the past few days, waiting for news from the palace with the middle-aged man.
Because she had burned down Nanshan Mountain before, Luo Jin had been worried and afraid that the emperor would investigate the cause of the fire and find the cause behind it was her. Fortunately, everyone seemed to think that the forest fire was not man-made.
However, they could not stay in Nanshan any longer, so they moved to a remote house in the imperial city.
"Luo Jin, follow me into the palace." The middle-aged man had a stern face and instructed Luo Jin as he walked in.
"Ah, now? Then let me pack up." Luo Jin listened to the middle-aged man's words and hurriedly wanted to pack something.
"No need to pack. You don't have anything. Once you enter the palace, you have no choice but to do what you want. The more things you bring, the more of a burden you will become.
This palace is where you will start a new life, so you’d better not bring your old things with you. ”
When Luo Jin heard the middle-aged man's words, he stopped.
"You're right, let's go." Luo Jin's eyes flashed again and again, then he raised his step and walked out the door.
A remote corner gate of the imperial palace.
"You little girl, you'd better follow this eunuch. You can earn some money every month as a palace maid to supplement the family income. If you still refuse, I will sell you to a brothel."
The middle-aged man's voice came from far away. When he got closer, he saw a young girl sobbing.
This girl is of course Su Xin, now her name is Luo Jin.
On the way here, the middle-aged man told her about their plan. In order for her to ascend to the throne in the future, she must have a clean background and the method of entering the palace must be properly arranged.
The palace originally recruited maids through formal channels every three years, but this harem is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
There were too many palace maids who disappeared inexplicably, plus every year there were palace maids who left the palace due to age, so the palace maids who were replaced every three years were simply not enough.
This formed a secret chain for recruiting palace maids. As long as one had a clean background and met the requirements, they could enter the palace as a maid.
At first, when Luo Jin heard that she was going to enter the palace as a maid, she was disgusted. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could she do such a thing to lower her status?
But after the lobbying of the middle-aged man, she agreed to endure the humiliation.
After all, the emperor hasn't expanded his harem or selected concubines for a long time. If I want to enter the palace openly, I can only enter as a palace maid.
The drama they were performing at Jiaomen was naturally to prevent someone from investigating her background after she was favored by the emperor.
After all, this face looks too much like that woman.
"Daddy, I don't want to go to a brothel. I will listen to you and enter the palace." Luo Jin's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful. She looked so weak when she cried, and the people who were paying for it only hated themselves for being a eunuch.
So Luo Jin, looking back every few steps, entered the area with red walls and yellow tiles.
However, can her destiny really be what she hopes for?
Three days later, Su Yue from the Prime Minister's Mansion held her coming-of-age ceremony.
Today is a sunny day, a good time to do big things.
"Hurry, hurry, the second young lady is coming of age today, so hurry up. If you delay important matters, you will be punished."
At the door, Butler Su skillfully instructed the servants beside him to work. Some servants were hanging lanterns, some were cleaning.
Soon, the Prime Minister's Mansion will start to welcome guests. The second young lady is now a princess, and all the important people in Dongyou will definitely come.
But we must not be careless and lose face for the Prime Minister's Office.
Su Yue now has let go of her previous double-bun hairstyle and is sitting in front of a brass mirror with her makeup already done. The bright red flower on her forehead sets off her dark eyebrows and starry eyes, making her look stunning.
"Oh, Second Miss!" Xiao He was combing Su Yue's hair when she screamed in surprise.
