Yu Jin showed surprise at the right moment: "Is it because of Aunt Rongyang's entry into the palace?"
Pan Hai's eyebrows moved slightly.
King Yan used the word "because" very well.
Since Princess Rongyang has entered the palace, it will be difficult for her to escape from the turmoil caused by this person.
Emperor Jingming's face became even gloomier.
There are rules for recruiting people into the palace. Rongyang violated the rules and sent people into the palace, which really brought many troubles.
This Rongyang has never been sensible.
Emperor Jingming had long been dissatisfied with some of Princess Rongyang's actions, but he was kind-hearted by nature and did not want to hurt the relationship between brother and sister, nor did he want to hurt the empress dowager's feelings, so he had been forbearing.
But now, because of Princess Rongyang's reckless behavior, even the Queen Mother might be harmed. This is intolerable.
Emperor Jingming wanted to teach Princess Rongyang a lesson, so he asked Yu Jin, "At present, all this can only prove that Nanny Duo had the opportunity to do evil, but since Lady Chen is dead, there is no evidence to convict her. Do you have any ideas?"
Now it was Yu Jin who first targeted Nanny Duo, and then found out that Nanny Duo had contact with Concubine Chen and Concubine Yang. However, this alone was not enough for Emperor Jingming to be sure that the person was Nanny Duo.
In such a large harem, as time went on, there were more than just Nanny Duo who had contact with Concubine Chen and Concubine Yang.
Yu Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Why not try to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"Lure the snake out of its hole?" Emperor Jingming became interested. "Could it be that we give her a chance to leave the palace and see if she has any contact with the people in that small shop?"
Yu Jin shook his head: "That would be too obvious, and might arouse her suspicion."
At present, the information between Grandma Duo and the ancestors of Wu Miao is inconsistent.
The ancestors of Wu Miao knew that the saint had come to the capital, but because they were suspicious, they sent a letter back to Wu Miao for confirmation. After waiting for a long time without receiving any letter from Wu Miao, they contacted Aunt Duo in the palace.
Aunt Duo took the opportunity of the Queen Mother leaving the palace to burn incense to contact the ancestors of the Wu Miao people. When she returned to the palace, Yu Jin and Jiang Si went to Ci Ning Palace. Only then did Aunt Duo realize to her amazement that the saint woman that Elder Hua mentioned was actually the Princess of Yan.
Yu Jincai didn't want to give Aunt Duo a chance to meet the Wu Miao ancestors again, and he gave a legitimate reason.
Emperor Jingming agreed with this reason and leaned forward and said, "Then tell me how to lure the snake out of its hole."
Yu Jin looked at Emperor Jingming and said, "Father, you still have doubts about whether that person is Aunt Duo, right?"
"Yes." Emperor Jingming did not deny it.
Yu Jin smiled and said, "Whether that person is Aunt Duo or not, if she finds an opportunity to do evil, she will most likely not let it go. Why don't we create such an opportunity for her?"
Emperor Jingming's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked serious.
He wanted to hear what Old Seven had to say.
"That person specifically targets women in the harem who have grudges against him. My son thinks we can find a suitable person to lure him out."
Emperor Jingming's eyes narrowed.
The right person? Are there so many people in his harem who hold grudges against him?
Pan Hai looked at Yu Jin deeply, feeling helpless: Prince Yan's words really hurt the emperor..."
Yu Jin looked at Emperor Jingming's expression and said with a smile, "What do you think of the Fourteenth Princess?"
"Fourteenth Princess?" Emperor Jingming's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said unhappily, "Nonsense, your fourteenth sister is still a little girl, don't use her to set a trap!"
Yu Jin smiled and said, "Eunuch Pan, the Fourteenth Princess is one year older than the Fifteenth Princess, right? Has she reached the age of marriage?"
Pan Hai quickly glanced at Emperor Jingming and nodded: "Your Highness, I am not mistaken. The Fourteenth Princess has indeed reached the age of marriage."
Although Prince Yan seemed careless, he actually understood human nature so well that he asked about the age of the Fourteenth Princess but mentioned the Fifteenth Princess instead. This was more effective than any amount of persuasion.
Emperor Jingming did think of the fifteenth princess.
Fifteen is younger than fourteen, but now she is dead...
Emperor Jingming had more than twenty daughters, but he didn't have many opportunities to interact with them on weekdays. It would be a lie to say that he had feelings for every one of them. For example, the Fifteenth Princess was just a daughter to Emperor Jingming during the fourteen years she lived.
However, with the tragic death of the Fifteenth Princess in front of Emperor Jingming, the impression of her in Emperor Jingming's mind suddenly became deep.
She became an everlasting existence in the emperor's memory.
Fifteen died because of Fourteen's mother. Although Fourteen was innocent, using her to lure out that person could be considered as a way to mitigate the guilt of her mother.
After a long silence, Emperor Jingming said calmly: "Tell me about your specific plans."
…
After some discussion, Emperor Jingming took a few sips of tea and said, "The three-day appointment you mentioned will be tomorrow."
Yu Jin laughed: "Father, are you worried that your son won't be able to complete it?"
Emperor Jingming's face was stern: "I am just asking casually."
Who cares whether this kid can complete it or not? This brat is quite self-indulgent.
"I'll make arrangements after my son leaves the palace." Yu Jin smiled broadly at Han Ran, "I hope Commander Han will cooperate when the time comes."
What else could Han Ran say in front of Emperor Jingming, so he quickly responded.
After Yu Jin left, Emperor Jingming went to Kunning Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here." The palace maid hurried in to announce the news.
The queen's eyelids twitched twice.
The Emperor is here again...
It seemed that after Concubine Yang's death, the emperor came to her more and more often, causing the harem to spread the rumor that the empress was favored.
The queen just wanted to sneer at this.
She was the empress, not a favored concubine like Concubine Yang, and she never wanted the emperor's favor.
It is enough for the emperor to treat her with respect and dignity and for her to take good care of the harem.
Who doesn't have a white moonlight in his heart? The emperor has Empress Yuan in his heart, and she also has her childhood sweetheart.
Unlike the miserable woman who was unable to be with her lover, the queen was very open-minded about it.
It was the family's intention to have her enter the palace and become the empress. She had been living a life of luxury and had many servants. Since she had enjoyed the benefits of the family, it was fair for her to contribute back to the family.
The queen went out to greet him with a calm expression.
"You all may leave." Emperor Jingming walked in, drove out the palace servants in the room, and pulled the empress to sit down.
In front of the empress, Emperor Jingming was very casual: "I need your help with something."
The queen twitched her lips slightly.
As expected, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. This time when the emperor asked her for help, he didn't even bother to be polite.
"You say."
"Find a reason to piss off Fourteen."
The queen was stunned: "What?"
Is the emperor talking about the fourteenth princess?
She was a queen, but after eating too much, she became a sickly princess?
Emperor Jingming explained the matter clearly and held the Empress's hand: "I am sorry to wrong you, Your Majesty. Your mother is a person who pities the poor and the weak. If she knew that Fourteenth Prince was being scolded, she would probably say something to you."
At the same time, we will also send Aunt Duo to visit Fourteen...
The Queen nodded and said, "If that's the case, a few words from my mother won't matter. Your Majesty, don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
The Queen's heart was slightly moved: The Emperor thinks highly of Prince Yan.
