An Jingzhi sneered and just stood there watching this farce.
After acting for a while, probably feeling a little tired, Concubine Yi sat on the ground again, holding her belly and crying, "child, child," looking like she was really mentally ill.
Even the Queen was a little skeptical. The maid behind her whispered, "Your Majesty, is she really crazy? If she is, it would be too easy for her."
There are quite a few women who have gone crazy in the deep palace, and the cold palace is their final destination. However, it is still infuriating that they cannot be punished soberly.
"Let's take another look." After the queen finished speaking, she glanced secretly with her phoenix eyes.
Just when she thought the emperor was relenting, a bright yellow figure approached from the corner of her eye.
An Jingzhi kicked the woman pretending to be crazy and dumb on the ground and shouted angrily, "You used witchcraft to frame the Queen and cruelly aborted your own child. You played with my feelings at will. You are so good, my Imperial Concubine Yi. What are you acting like now? Do you still want to play me like a fool?!"
"I don't care whether you are really crazy or pretending to be crazy! Come! Take you away!"
Then he turned around and said in a cold tone, "Give me white silk and announce to the public that Concubine Yi has fallen into the water."
No one expected that the emperor would be so decisive.
The original owner had left such a deep impression on them of her doting on Imperial Concubine Yi that they thought Imperial Concubine Yi would at most be banished to the cold palace.
Before An Jingzhi finished speaking, he said, "Send someone down to investigate who brought these things into the palace."
That secret room leads to the outer city, so there must be someone who is in contact with her to deliver these things in.
When other people who had entered the secret room saw the bed, they actually thought of something deeper, but because it involved the emperor's dignity, no one dared to speak out.
After giving the order, An Jingzhi flicked his sleeves and left.
Concubine Yi's family was only a minor official. If it weren't for her favor, her father would not have been able to jump from a small seventh-rank official to a fifth-rank censor.
Besides, the role of the censor is to give advice, but Concubine Yi's father not only did not give advice, but instead took the lead in flattery.
He even gathered a small circle around him because of his status as the emperor's father-in-law.
If the other party was really capable, An Jingzhi would not have taken his anger out on him because of Concubine Yi's matter, but he knew after taking a look at the original owner's memory that this was a person with little ability.
After Concubine Yi announced her death to the public, her father lost his popularity. Even if An Jingzhi did not take action, there were still many people in the court who wanted to deal with him.
In less than a day, the guard who had traded with Concubine Yi was found out.
The green hat in the original owner's memory was put on him by the guard in front of him. He didn't expect that these two people had been together so early.
After the investigation was completed, the guard was executed immediately.
There were some rumors in the entire palace, but everyone was silent.
In fact, there were not many concubines in the harem. Although the original owner was a tyrant, he was not really obsessed with women. He liked to go to the people in disguise and play the role of talented men and beautiful women with the women.
And Concubine Yi had learned about the emperor's itinerary in advance, just to be chosen to perform a play with him.
This was also what An Jingzhi had figured out from the original owner's memories. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental, right? How come every time the original owner went out on a secret visit, there was always a beautiful woman who needed a hero to save her?
She even happened to be half-naked and exposed in front of the original owner, looking very seductive.
I'm afraid that only the queen was not arranged by humans.
It's not even about the hero saving the beauty, but about the beauty saving the hero.
The original owner was on a secret visit and accidentally got separated from the guards around him. When he went to buy food, he had no money and it was the queen who helped him out. That's how the two met.
It was because other treacherous ministers knew this that they deliberately targeted the emperor and set up so many chance encounters in the following decades.
An Jingzhi began to read the memorials. When the ministers outside found out, they cried with joy. Everyone had also heard something about what was happening in the palace and felt that the emperor had grown up after experiencing some things.
This happened to be what An Jingzhi wanted to express deliberately.
After finding out the truth, he replaced all the eunuchs around him.
These people were all eunuchs of the lowest level. They were suddenly favored by the emperor and were able to serve him. Everyone was trembling with fear, fearing that something might go wrong.
As for the group that were originally bribed, they naturally replaced these young eunuchs to do the dirtiest and lowest jobs. They were the best at flattering the weak and putting down the powerful in the palace. These people were originally the emperor's attendants, but now they can only do the lowest jobs. Some of them try to guess the emperor's intentions to help him do things.
"I believe you have heard why the previous batch of eunuchs were sent down. What I give you is yours. I don't like people who take things without permission. Otherwise, the fate of those people will be your future." An Jingzhi knocked.
All the eunuchs knelt down and kowtowed in fear.
Those eunuchs who replaced their original jobs naturally knew what would happen to them. After being promoted to the emperor's attendants, some of them were palace servants who came to flatter them and report on the current situation of those people.
More than half of the people could not bear the torture and were tortured to death.
There are quite a few psychologically abnormal eunuchs at the lower levels of the palace.
…
An Jingzhi was sitting in his study, learning about the country's humanities, geography, politics and laws.
Suddenly, a young eunuch quietly walked in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Empress sent someone to bring the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup."
An Jingzhi put down the book in his hand and said, "I'll take it."
Then the eunuch led the palace maids around the queen and brought the food boxes and served the soup.
An Jingzhi only started to enjoy it after the eunuchs around him had tested the poison.
He picked up the spoon and took a sip, "Go down."
The maid's face was full of struggle as she suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this Pearl Jade White Jade Soup was personally prepared by the Empress after studying in the Imperial Kitchen for two hours before she had this servant bring it to you. The Empress has Your Majesty in her heart."
An Jingzhi looked up in surprise, seeing the little palace maid looking ready to die, and felt like laughing. It seemed that the queen still had loyal palace maids around her.
In fact, he found something wrong after taking the first sip. The meals prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace had standards, and it was impossible for them to be of this level. It wasn't that they were unpalatable, but just a little ordinary.
"I understand. Go down."
The palace maid who had closed her eyes waiting to be punished suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the emperor in surprise, then stood up hurriedly, saluted, and retreated.
An Jingzhi hadn't really had much dealings with the other party since he arrived. "I'll be at Changqiu Palace tonight."
"Yes." The young eunuch responded and began to give orders.
After the palace maid returned to Changqiu Palace, she still looked frightened. She didn't know why she suddenly said those words. Maybe she was speaking up for her queen.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not punish her for her recklessness. She was not worried about being punished, but was afraid that it would affect the Queen's image in His Majesty's eyes.
