Chapter 389 Who is the most suitable person to assist?
"Why did the two of them fight?"
The Lanxin Pavilion had been tightly sealed off for a long time. Logically, the two Turkic beauties could not move around freely, in order to prevent them from passing on information to the outside.
Now is a special moment. Bai Wutong did not dare to delay. He stood up immediately and hurried towards Lanxin Pavilion.
As she stepped into the hall, the sight before her made her gasp.
The house was in a mess, with all kinds of things scattered all over the floor, all in pieces.
The two Turkic beauties and Jin Weige had their hair disheveled, their hairpins and rings scattered all over the floor, and their faces were filled with anger. They no longer had the dignity of proper concubines in the harem.
Bai Wutong's face darkened instantly, and he angrily rebuked, "The emperor just got into trouble, and you guys are making such a fuss in this important harem. Are you planning a rebellion?"
When Jin Weige heard this, she subconsciously began to refute, her words bursting out like a string of cannonballs, "I am loyal to the emperor, how could I have the courage to do that? You might as well ask them what good things they have done!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wutong turned his gaze to the two Turkic beauties.
Lady Lin looked pale and indignant, "Empress Zhao, it's a good thing you're here. No one brought us food today, and we were so hungry that we thought of sending someone out to check the situation. Is the emperor going to starve us to death in Lanxin Pavilion once he leaves?"
It turned out that Jin Weige happened to meet a palace maid coming out of Lanxin Pavilion on the road.
She was already in a bad mood because of the emperor's accident, and was full of anger. Seeing that the maid had gone out without permission and completely ignored the palace rules, she wanted to teach her a lesson.
But who could have imagined that this lesson would be taught to the whole Lanxin Pavilion.
At the beginning, Jin Weige kept scolding and venting her anger, but she didn't expect that the two Turkic beauties would not tolerate her and began to refute her.
The two sides exchanged heated words and started fighting after a few words.
Jin Weige was so angry that her face turned red, and she shouted loudly, "They actually said something arrogant, saying that I only have status when the emperor is here, and I am nothing when the emperor is not here. Humph, no matter how useless I am, I am better than these two barbarians! I tell you, when the emperor is gone, you will be the first to die!"
Bai Wutong understood the whole story, took a deep breath, tried to calm down the anger in his heart, and said calmly, "Okay, stop arguing!"
The situation is not good now. These two beauties are still useful and cannot be killed for the time being.
The Turks would secretly send people to deliver letters every two months, and Darong had to rely on them to reply to maintain the situation.
Otherwise, if you never reply, the Turks will definitely think too much.
Bai Wutong simply gave each of them 100 lashes, "Both of you are at fault in this matter."
As she spoke, she looked at Jin Weige with a dignified look, "Now the harem is under the control of this palace. If there is anything in the future, you must report to this palace first. Do you understand?"
Then, she turned her gaze to the two Turkic beauties, "As for you, you were disrespectful to Concubine Jin and spoke rudely, which is really wrong. I will arrange for someone to deliver meals to you on time. If you have any problems in the future, just send someone to find me directly."
If Zhang Chengyan had really passed away, Bai Wutong could have just let the two of them fight and reap the benefits.
But now the emperor is only faking his death, and there must be someone watching him in secret. As the temporary master of the harem, she must maintain stability and order in the harem.
In an incident like today, no matter which party is punished severely, it may cause bigger trouble.
It would be better to handle it with caution and make a big deal out of a small one, which would be more conducive to the stability of the harem.
Jin Weige was naturally unconvinced, "Just let it go like this? Didn't you see that they were the ones who attacked me first?"
"Enough!" Bai Wutong looked at her coldly, his voice full of unquestionable majesty, "The emperor is in trouble now, and it is time for us to pray sincerely. If you have the time to argue, you might as well burn some paper for the emperor and pray for him!"
After hearing this, Jin Weige felt as if she was choked. She opened her mouth but could not say anything. She could only glare at the Turkic beauty fiercely and said nothing more.
Bai Wutong turned around and left Lanxin Pavilion.
Returning to the mourning hall, she knelt on the mat again, picked up the paper money, and put it into the brazier one by one.
Soon, the news of this incident reached Zhang Chengyan's ears.
After listening to it, he was very appreciative of Bai Wutong's handling method, and naturally felt more favorable towards him.
However, he was extremely disappointed with Jin Weige's performance.
The disappointment that had accumulated over a long period of time finally turned into deep hatred.
Now, whenever Zhang Chengyan heard Jin Weige's name, he would feel disgusted, and couldn't help but tell Wang Decai, "In the future, report less about her to me, and talk more about Concubine Zhao's situation."
Wang Decai heard it all and sighed inwardly, knowing that Jin Weige had completely fallen out of favor.
Zhang Chengyan paused for a moment, and then continued, "There are still seven days before I am resurrected. During this period, you continue to keep a close eye on these concubines and make sure nothing goes wrong. In addition, you spread the news that Yunhe will inherit my throne in the future. I want to see how these ministers will react to this news."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Decai responded respectfully and turned around to arrange the matter. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the situation in the palace was likely to cause another wave of turmoil!
Not long after, the concubines in the harem heard the news that the prince would ascend the throne.
Wang Decai seized the opportunity, summoned Jinzhi into the palace, and told him the whole story in detail.
After hearing this, Jin Zhi felt that this was a natural thing to do. After all, as the emperor's eldest son, Zhang Yunhe's inheritance to the throne was in accordance with the ancestral system, and no one could find any fault with him.
"Lord Jin, the Crown Prince is still young. His sudden ascension to the throne may cause some people to have second thoughts. I'll have to trouble General Jin to pay more attention in the court and see how people react."
Wang Decai's words were sincere, and it sounded like a request for help, but in fact it was a test of Jin Zhi by Zhang Chengyan.
Zhang Chengyan's spies were everywhere in the court, and no move of any minister could escape his eyes and ears.
Jin Zhi understood and nodded calmly, "Don't worry, sir, I know what I'm doing."
After he left the palace, he immediately conveyed the news to all the ministers, but the Xun family was not among them.
Because Bai Wutong had not revealed anything to the Xun family, those ministers who were unaware of the emperor's death were naturally kept in the dark.
Jin Zhi wanted to split into two parts and observe their situation at the same time.
In the Jin Mansion.
Jin Zhi observed everyone calmly, "What do you think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascending to the throne?"
An elderly minister spoke first, "It is only natural for the crown prince to ascend the throne, but His Royal Highness is still very young and knows nothing about court affairs. He will definitely need someone capable to assist him."
"That's right, but who is the right person to be the assistant?"
