Chapter 168 The secret penetrated their minds in an incredible way

Jiang Yanchuan's low mood continued until the ministers participating in the inner court took their positions in the hall.

The ministers who had finally survived the morning court session and hoped that Emperor Mingze could be healed by the cute little dumpling on the way felt mixed emotions.

The matter of Kou Qiwen misappropriating military funds was still hanging like a sharp sword over everyone's head, and now there was another matter of concubines in the harem colluding with foreign men to commit treason. It was simply because they were afraid that they would not die thoroughly enough.

Yes, from the moment they entered the hall, the young man's heart had been beeping, and it hasn't stopped until now.

The secrets had an unimaginable way of getting into their heads, regardless of whether they wanted to hear it or whether they should hear it.

With a look of beauty that didn't care about the lives of those old guys.

[… With this brain, you still want to harm Chengcheng? Dream on! !] Jiang Yingcheng angrily said the last part of his thoughts, but the ministers could no longer stand.

No, tell me clearly, who did Concubine Hui want to harm? ? !

Although they are just court officials and it is not convenient for them to interfere in the affairs of His Majesty's harem, if things develop in this direction, they, the old guys, can make an effort!

All the ministers looked at Emperor Mingze with burning eyes, hoping to see some clues from his face.

Are you going to do it or not? If you don't, we will take over!

Even if the little girl wasn't so magical, just because she always thought about them, they would never let her make any mistakes!

Jiang Yanchuan raised one eyebrow and looked at the court officials below with a half-smile.

He had a reputation for being a ruthless person throughout his life, and although he would deliberately restrain himself when facing loyal ministers and good generals, this was the first time in all these years that he was looked at by court officials with such a slightly questioning eye.

"Do you have anything to say?" Jiang Yanchuan suddenly spoke, interrupting the dumb show.

Several ministers raised their heads and looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

Logically speaking, they should not know about the dispute between Concubine Xuan and Concubine Hui. If they speak rashly, the young lady might know that they can hear her thoughts.

When all the ministers were silent, Pan Jifeng sneaked out from the team and said, "Your Majesty, I do have something to report to you!"

The New Year's Day banquet was getting closer and closer. If Huai'an and Jingwan were allowed to remain confined in their respective palaces, he would feel a splitting headache every time he thought about the consequences of this matter.

Although the suspicion on Chengbi has been proven to be false, he has already resigned once. If he were to ask for resignation again this time, the emperor might think that his family wanted him for this reason.

He could only speak in person.

"Today, Concubine Rou Gui sent a message home, saying that she was deeply regretful for what she had done before, and wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to the young prince in person. If the young prince wanted any compensation, she would do her best to fulfill it for him personally."

Pan Jifeng's words were extremely earnest and went straight to the point, without any of his previous arrogance.

Jiang Yanchuan's anger finally found an outlet.

His dark eyes looked straight at Pan Jifeng, and the dangerous aura of impending storm was suppressed without any concealment: "Since Mr. Pan wants to help my concubine fill in the gaps so much-"

"How about, Mr. Pan, take him back to the mansion and educate him again."

The entire Wuyang Palace was silent for a moment as these words were spoken.

None of the ministers dared to breathe, and Pan Jifeng even fell to his knees on the spot, trembling all over.

His face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. He looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water: "Your Majesty, I dare not interfere in your Majesty's family affairs, but--"

"It's just that your Pan family values ​​the prince born by Concubine Rou too much, so," Jiang Yanchuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, and interrupted Pan Jifeng's meaningless excuses impatiently, "so you don't care at all whether Concubine Rou almost ruined the life of an innocent child."

The cold sweat on Pan Jifeng's forehead had already formed into small streams, which fell to the ground as he kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, I dare not even think of doing so! I just want to seek a chance for Concubine Rougui to reform, Your Majesty!"

The sound of kowtows coming one after another "dong, dong, dong" made the ministers around feel a slight pain in their skulls. However, Jiang Yanchuan did not react at all. He neither asked them to stop nor said any words to comfort them.

He only said, "I have only confined Concubine Rougui and her son to their home. If Lord Pan is still not satisfied, then follow the palace's rules."

Pan Jifeng's pupils constricted.

Concubine Rougui committed the serious crime of slandering the princess of the current dynasty. They all knew very well that simply confining her to her home was the lightest punishment. The bad thing was that the timing was too critical.

If she were to be punished according to the usual rules, sending her to the cold palace would be considered a mercy from Emperor Mingze.

"No, I'm not dissatisfied..." Pan Jifeng said in a harsh voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish his words, a childish voice suddenly rang out from above the main seat: "Father, Lord Pan, does that mean that Chengcheng can make the request himself?"

All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

Jiang Yanchuan's expression froze for a rare moment: "Chengcheng, what do you think?"

This was the first time that the young man had spoken since he was brought into the court, and everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to him.

Jiang Yingcheng smiled slyly: "Chengcheng has it!"

[There is an undercurrent at the New Year's Day banquet. Cheng Cheng would feel distressed if any beautiful aunt was implicated! ]

[But Concubine Rougui is different~]

Jiang Yingcheng sincerely sighed: [What a perfect candidate for the wronged one! ]

She can be the focus of all the undercurrents in the scene, and can also be used as a tool by the enemy. If planned properly, she can even expose Concubine Rougui's plan to the public early on!

It's simply perfect!

Civil and military officials: "..."

Jiang Yanchuan: “…”

…

It gets dark very early in winter.

Jiang Yingcheng packed up early in the morning and waited in the Xingshuang Palace to leave the palace, but it was still delayed until the evening of You before he got on the carriage with Concubine Rougui, who had been waiting in the front hall.

Liao Chen and his four companions followed behind him openly, and there were countless secret guards stationed in the dark. In name, they were there to protect the two of them, but in reality, everyone present knew very well the urgency of the matter.

After several days, Concubine Rougui was finally released from house arrest. When she faced the young man she had almost framed, she did not show any embarrassment at all: "Where are we going today?"

Jiang Yingcheng smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you get there~"

After saying this, she lay down and closed her eyes to rest, preparing to gather her energy for the evening's activities.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Rou Gui said no more, and the carriage drove slowly and quietly out of the palace.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally entered a noisy alley.

The night sky outside the carriage was as bright as day because of the candlelight, and it also illuminated this small space extremely brightly. Concubine Rou finally realized belatedly that something seemed to be too weird about this matter.

"Hmm...are we there?" The little girl behind him woke up just as the carriage stopped, stretched, and then walked out.

Concubine Rou gritted her teeth and had to follow.

only--

Just a casual glance outside the carriage made her freeze in place.

What kind of place did she choose?
