Chapter 94: Your Majesty will soon have an heir?
The emperor's good complexion turned irritable.
Prince Duan had no idea what was going on and could only eat his meal obediently and then leave.
On the way out, I passed by Cuiwei Palace.
I saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs accompanying several palace concubines coming over.
Prince Duan hurriedly stood up straight.
The group of people didn't pay any attention to him and walked straight past him.
Cui Yuzhen was also among the group.
Early this morning, she asked the concubines she was close to to come and pay their respects to the new imperial concubine.
She was eager to go, but when she got there she couldn't even get into the palace.
Only a palace maid came out and said that the imperial concubine was not feeling well and there was no need to pay respects, and then sent them out.
"What's wrong with you? I think she's just taking Joe!"
After returning to her palace, Cui Yuzhen threw away the round fan in her hand, sat on a wide chair, and spoke angrily, unable to help but feel sour: "Your Majesty must have been in her palace last night. Even though he got something good, he still had to pretend. It's really annoying!"
Yan Qiu picked up the fan and soothed him, "She can't disappear forever. Master, don't worry. Her handle is there and it won't disappear. It won't hurt to let her be proud for a few days."
Cui Yuzhen's expression brightened a little: "That's true. Let her be proud for a few more days."
But she waited for six days.
The sky cleared up completely.
Wen Xiangjun didn't come back from outside until almost evening.
She went to the Imperial Household Department to report, but Gao Bin was not there, so the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department went out to pass on the message.
After a while, Gao Bin came back.
Although Gao Bin's actions were sometimes drastic, he was more merciful.
In the inner court, both the palace maids and the eunuchs respected him.
Wen Xiangjun had also heard of the reputation of this seal holder.
In addition, the last time she came back to work with him, he responded to every request and had a gentle attitude, which made Wen Xiangjun respect and like this first eunuch even more, and she became bolder.
Seeing the wrinkles around his eyes stretching out, he couldn't help but laugh as well: "What makes the Palm Seal so happy?"
Gao Bin knew that she was good friends with Luo Fu, and he also knew that her ambition was not to become a concubine in the inner court, not to fight for a piece of land in the inner court, and certainly not to compete for the favor of His Majesty.
He didn't try to hide it, and smiled at her as if she were a colleague, "Your Majesty will soon have an heir, and the country will be more stable. This is naturally a great joyous event, how can anyone not be happy?"
Wen Xiangjun was slightly startled. "Is a concubine in the inner court pregnant? Didn't His Majesty say that he hasn't been to the inner court for a long time?"
She was a little worried about Love.
Fu'er has only been in the emperor's bed for a few days, and someone else is pregnant. It would be best if they could live in peace, but if someone doesn't like Fu'er, the new favorite, they will definitely plot a fight.
I'm afraid a kind person like Fu'er can't resist it.
Gao Bin was unaware of her brainstorming and said with a smile, "Although there isn't one yet, there will be one in the future. After all, His Majesty dotes on Lady Luo so much that he has promoted her to Imperial Concubine. If Lady Wen wants to see Lady Luo, she must go to Cuiwei Palace."
Wen Xiangjun was stunned for a moment: "Fu'er has been promoted to Imperial Concubine?"
She was also pleasantly surprised: "That's good, that's good. Fu'er has a kind nature. It's great to be favored and protected by His Majesty!"
Gao Bin nodded with a smile, walked past her, sat down on the wide chair, and turned the topic back to business. He asked, "How's the investigation going on with the case Master Wen mentioned earlier?"
Wen Xiangjun hurriedly explained the case in detail.
The case of the brittle stone used for roads and dams in Linchuan County is somewhat similar to what happened in her hometown, but there are also differences.
What happened in my hometown was caused by the collusion between the county magistrate and the wealthy people in the village and town.
The case in Linchuan County had nothing to do with the county magistrate Wang Zhi.
He has only been in office for a year.
It's not time for the dam to be rebuilt.
After investigation, it was found that the stone materials were supplied by the villagers of Shitou Village below.
Thanks to the incompetence of several county magistrates, they have been doing this for six years.
The temple needed renovations almost every year, so the government asked the court for money every year.
Those county magistrates were also able to suppress some of the corruption.
"Master Seal, I have already written the case file. Please take a look." After Wen Xiangjun finished explaining the matter, she took off her bag and took out the case file wrapped tightly in brown paper and presented it to Gao Bin.
Gao Bin took it and looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "How is the person involved in the case?"
Wen Xiangjun said, "All those involved in the case have been escorted back to the capital and are currently being held in the Northern Pacification Division Prison."
Gao Bin looked at her and said, "This kind of thing still needs to be handed over to the Three Departments for trial and conviction. Our Northern Pacification Department is only responsible for arresting those who are rebellious. Remember next time and don't send them to the wrong place."
Wen Xiangjun was shocked: "Why didn't anyone from the Northern Pacification Office tell me?"
Gao Bin said kindly, "Those people have too many thoughts. You are a stranger outside the palace, and you are accompanied by people from the East Factory. If you say too much, you will make more mistakes. Only by keeping silent can you protect yourself. Master Wen, when you go to the Northern Pacification Office in the future, don't learn from them."
Wen Xiangjun quickly said yes: "Thank you for your advice, Master. I will learn from you."
Gao Bin smiled and said, "Alright, I'll take care of the rest. Master Wen, you've been exhausted from all the traveling. Go to the duty room to collect your salary and reward, then go back and rest."
When Wen Xiangjun heard that her salary was going to be paid, her eyes lit up instantly. She quickly responded by clasping her fists and bowing, and went to receive a heavy bag of silver. Then she left the Silijian, asked someone for the direction to Cuiwei Palace, and went straight there.
