Since Wu Ying was promoted to the chief eunuch, he occupied Zhang Yuan's house as his own. He regarded all the furnishings in the house, as well as the gold, silver, jewelry and banknotes left by Zhang Yuan, as his own property. For this reason, Wu Ying had sweet dreams for several nights in a row, just for this unexpected fortune. You know, this is something he could never earn in his lifetime! It can be seen how much Emperor Tianwu favored Zhang Yuan.
However, he was a person living in the palace, and he could not leave the palace at will, and he could not let anyone take away the property in the palace at will, as it was against the palace rules. He could enjoy these items and money in the palace, and it was not impossible for him to transport them out, but at least he had to gain a firm foothold and let everyone recognize his status before this could be done. So at the moment, all the things Zhang Yuan had obtained before were still in the room, nothing was missing.
Feng Yuheng was not polite at all, and was not afraid of being suspected at all, so she emptied the room directly. If it wasn't too much trouble, she would have wanted to move all the tables and chairs away. But even so, the current scene would guarantee that Wu Ying would be scared to death when she came back. This matter must be investigated, but it can only be a headless case, and there is no way to find out the truth.
She was very satisfied with her results, clapped her hands and left, but she followed Zhang Yuan to the Criminal Slave Division. She did not see Zhang Yuan being handed over to the palace servants of the Criminal Slave Division by the eunuch who brought him there, and she also saw the person in charge of the Criminal Slave Division throw him into a dormitory for four people in the northernmost room, and then she quietly followed him in.
At this time, except for the newcomer Zhang Yuan, all the other slaves were working outside. Even Zhang Yuan was only allowed to come in and change into the uniform clothes of the Slave Division, and then he had to go out to work immediately. It is said that there are more than 200 pieces of clothes waiting for him today, and there are five large vats waiting to be filled. When Feng Yuheng came in and looked at those large vats, he felt that if he was not idle for a whole day, at most two vats would be filled. Five vats was really deliberately making things difficult for him.
Zhang Yuan was almost in despair. He stared blankly at the dirty, cold, and disgusting room. He sighed and began to change his clothes. Feng Yuheng showed up before he changed his clothes, gently covered his mouth, and said, "Don't make a sound. It's me."
Zhang Yuan really thought that Princess Yu was a fairy. She came in so silently. You know, the Criminal Slave Bureau had a lot of spies, and there were many palace servants working in his yard. How did Princess Yu get in?
Of course, he knew that he couldn't ask about his master's obscure matters, nor should he try to figure them out. He just nodded, indicating that he knew the other party's identity and would not speak loudly. Only then was Feng Yuheng let him go, and then a small bag of silver and several banknotes were stuffed into his hands, and he heard Feng Yuheng say: "They were all stolen from Wu Ying's house. They should be what you saved before, right? Don't worry, I stole all your old things for you and put them in a safe place. If you want, I can give them to you anytime and anywhere. Or one day when you get out of trouble, you can tidy up the new house like before. But now you are in this place, it is not convenient to keep too much money on you. Keep these for emergency and give a large banknote to the head of the Sinner Division. At least the five large jars of water can be saved."
Zhang Yuan looked at these things, tears started to fall, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Feng Yuheng, but was stopped by Feng Yuheng. Feng Yuheng shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to be polite, saving your own life is important. Including the people in this room, you should give some small favors and try to make your life better. Father has a strange disease now, which has changed his temperament. We are all trying to make him recover as soon as possible. If you lose your life during this period, when Father wakes up one day, I am afraid he will be angry with you again."
Zhang Yuan wiped his tears, thinking about the heartless old emperor, tears streaming down his face.
Feng Yuheng had no intention of talking to the eunuch, so he left the money and left in a flash. Zhang Yuan felt that his eyes were blurred, and when he rubbed his eyes, Princess Yu disappeared. He secretly sighed that the other party's kung fu was really good, just like the secret guards around the emperor, who appeared and disappeared all day long. Thinking about what Feng Yuheng said about the old emperor having a strange disease, he couldn't help but worry again.
After leaving the Criminal Slave Division, Feng Yuheng did not leave the palace directly. It was already bright in the sky, and she heard from the palace servants that the emperor had already started the morning court in Qiankun Hall. It seemed that he was not tired last night and still had the energy to attend the court. So she turned around and ran to the Cunshan Palace.
Concubine Li had checked, and Concubine Yuan Shu's place must also be checked. If there really is a Gu master, she felt that he was most likely hiding in the Cunshan Palace. Although she didn't know how to deal with a Gu master, she was afraid that even if she found him, she would not be able to do anything to him for a while, and she could not even catch him on the spot. But at least she had to know what was going on, and then go out and find another way.
However, her idea was still a little naive. After arriving at Cunshan Palace, the matter that was almost certain to succeed failed at the last point.
There are no outsiders in Cunshan Palace at all!
In other words, she searched the entire palace of Cunshan Palace, including the main hall and the side halls, inside and out, and found no suspicious people or suspicious things. This Cunshan Palace is so clean that no one can find any faults. All the palace servants are normal and they all work in the palace. She can be sure that there is no suspicion. But this is strange! The emperor was poisoned and his temperament changed drastically. The people who benefited the most were Concubine Yuan Shu and the Eighth Prince. If Concubine Yuan Shu's place is clean, could it be that someone is in Prince Sheng's Mansion?
That's even more impossible! If the person was really in Prince Sheng's Mansion, the Eighth Prince would not have been taken to the execution ground and almost beheaded. If the person wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago. It's impossible for him to wait until Xuan Tianmo got into trouble before taking action. What's more, Xuan Tianmo was imprisoned in the death row during those days and had no ability to communicate with the outside world.
Feng Yuheng felt that there was something fishy going on here, so she simply didn't leave, but stayed to wait for Concubine Yuan Shu to come back, wanting to hear what she said and did in the palace.
Concubine Yuan Shu came back from Zhaohe Palace, and did not let Feng Yuheng wait for long. She returned to the palace in a short while. But she did not do anything unusual. She bathed and changed her clothes when she came back, and then lay on the soft couch, and two palace maids gave her a full body massage. While massaging, she said: "My whole body hurts. The emperor is really the same as he was more than 20 years ago!"
The two palace maids who were doing the massage were also sweet-mouthed, and they all said what Yuan Shufei said: "Your Majesty is no different from more than 20 years ago, young and charming. It would be strange if the Emperor didn't like you! This is because the Emperor loves you. If you listen to me, you might be able to give birth to another prince for the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yuan Shu couldn't help but giggled, covering her mouth. After finally stopping, she continued, "Forget about the prince. The emperor has so many sons, even if I give birth to another prince, it may not please him much. What's more, I only look young, but my age is still there! But I have eaten a lot of nourishing food recently. If I can get pregnant with a princess, it will be a great thing. In our Dashun, giving birth to a prince is not a happy occasion, but giving birth to a princess is a great joy."
"Yes! Your Majesty will definitely give birth to a beautiful little princess! Oh no! Two, she will definitely be pregnant with twins."
The two palace maids coaxed Concubine Yuan Shu into a state of laughter, but Feng Yuheng was a little frightened when she heard it. She had forgotten about this. In ancient times, women experienced sex early. Concubine Yuan Shu entered the palace at the age of fifteen, just after she reached the age of marriage. Although more than twenty years had passed, she was less than forty years old. At this age, coupled with the maintenance in the palace and the favor she had received in recent days, she might really get pregnant again. This woman is so arrogant now. If she really gets pregnant, the palace will really become the world of them and her son.
Feng Yuheng secretly decided to secretly put some contraceptive drugs in the tea she would drink. Although the trick was insidious, she felt it was not enough to use it on Concubine Yuan Shu, and no matter how insidious it was, it could not satisfy her.
She was waiting in Cunshan Palace, thinking that the Eighth Prince might come over here after the court session, and the mother and son might be able to talk about some substantive topics together.
At the same time, in a remote courtyard in the palace, Feng Zirui also sat up from the bed, no longer wanting to sleep.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the people from Concubine Yuan Shu coming to search him when he was half asleep last night, he could have gotten up earlier. After all, living in this palace, one must be alert at all times, and the emperor has already gone to court, so he can't sleep in. But after all the trouble last night, no one could sleep well. Zirui is only an eleven-year-old child, and he is at the age of lacking sleep, so he got up a little late.
He sat on the bed, and his first thought was: Did my sister come last night? She should have come! Although he didn't see her, he had a feeling. That was his biological sister who was connected to his heart. He could feel that his sister was by his side, but she just didn't show up to see him. He also knew that his sister must be worried about him staying alone in the palace, so she came to see him secretly, but she wanted him to grow up and face things alone, so she chose to come but not see him.
Zirui pursed his lips and smiled. It was nice to have someone care about him at all times. Now he could feel that he was fighting side by side with his sister and brother-in-law. Although this kind of battle was more obscure, it still made him feel very excited.
Not long after, a palace maid pushed the door open. It was the maid who had been on guard last night and had talked to him again.
Zirui watched her carry a basin of water and put it on the shelf, then walked up to him, bowed first, and then said: "Why don't you sleep a little longer, young master? After all that trouble last night, I'm afraid you haven't woken up enough and had enough sleep yet?" He spoke in a soft voice, with genuine concern.
Zi Rui shook his head and said, "No, I'm a guest in the palace. The emperor is in the morning court. How can I sleep in? Bad living habits will be criticized. If this gets out, I don't mind it, but I'm afraid that someone will say that my sister is not good at disciplining her." After he finished speaking, he stared at the maid for a while and suddenly asked, "Are you really sent by His Highness Feiyu?"
