Chapter 164 Was she switched?
"Your Majesty..."
Shuangjiang supported Jiang Xinyue, who was moving a little heavy: "Will the Empress believe it?"
Jiang Xinyue touched the butterfly swaying on her bun: "It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not. I have already provided her with an object of investigation. Whether she finds out or not, the scapegoat has been found."
Not to mention, the one who put the witch in her palace was indeed Concubine Ye, who had been pretending to be crazy and stupid in the harem.
Jiang Xinyue believed that with the power of the Empress who had been in charge of the harem for many years, it would not be difficult for the Empress to find out what she could find out.
What happened next was that the Emperor and the Empress would settle accounts with Concubine Ye.
Ha!
Using witchcraft to curse the emperor and his concubines and punishing the entire nine clans is a crime that General Ye could not justify even if he had great military achievements.
Shun'an Palace -
Concubine Ye bit her thumb, looking panicked. After thinking it over again and again, she picked up a pen and wrote a letter to her confidant: "Give the letter to my father in person, and make sure he opens it before you read it. Yan'er has been arrested, and what I did can't be kept secret for long, hurry up!"
At this moment, how could Concubine Ye still be an impulsive, irritable, and outspoken fool?
Her eyes were shining with worry.
Jiang Xinyue...
Was she swapped?
They were the same batch of concubines who entered the palace, and when they first arrived at Chuxiu Palace, they were arranged to live in the same room.
After living and eating together for three months, they were each given a different position and assigned to different palaces.
She didn't dare to say that she could have a thorough understanding of a person in just three months.
But... that idiot was obviously fooled by her, and he should have a miserable end.
How come she was allowed to regain favor in the end and get the emperor's exclusive favor?
Since Jiang Xinyue became pregnant, the emperor has favored very few concubines. She either slept alone in Chengqian Palace, or occasionally went to the empress and Defei's place. More often, he went to Hexi Palace to accompany Jiang Xinyue.
It was obvious that she was pregnant and could not sleep with him, and as far as she knew, there were no palace maids in Hexi Palace to warm the bed. Every time the emperor went to Hexi Palace, he would just chat with Jiang Xinyue under the quilt.
She didn't know when the emperor had become such a pure man.
After Jiang Xinyue had closed the palace gates out of a bad temper, the emperor went even further. He didn't even go to the Empress's Yikun Palace, and he was thinking about how to please Jiang Xinyue every day.
That's why she deliberately went to the gate of Hexi Palace to curse, trying to find out how many guards the emperor had sent to protect Jiang Xinyue outside Hexi Palace.
But she didn't expect that Jiang Xinyue would actually use... use such a dirty thing to splash her.
This is so different from the impression of Jiang Xinyue's character.
After she forgave the emperor, she held the emperor's heart firmly in her palm, and her means were so superb that it was astonishing.
But, is she really Jiang Xinyue?
Ye Jieyu shook her head: "If she is not Jiang Xinyue, then who is she? I am really crazy."
That face is clearly Jiang Xinyue, even the mole on her arm is the same as the Jiang Xinyue she knows.
How could it be someone else's impersonation?
There can't be exactly the same face and body in this world.
She didn't take Jiang Xinyue seriously before.
But the current Jiang Xinyue makes her feel like sitting on pins and needles.
She has become too smart, so smart that she dare not imagine, if the emperor knows... then...
she dare not think about it at all, and only hopes that her father will come soon.
"Tick, tick, tick..."
An inconspicuous carriage arrived at the palace gate. As usual, the little eunuch stuffed a money bag into the guard's hand and said, "Take it and have tea, it's a little gift from our queen."
The leading guard shook the bag, confirmed that there was a lot of money, and hung it around his waist: "What's the matter, Xiao Quzi, is your queen missing home again?"
Xiao Quzi smiled embarrassedly: "Yes... The queen asked me to bring a letter back home, please check it, gentlemen."
The daughter of General Ye, the Concubine Jieyi in the palace, was the daughter of their boss's boss's boss's boss's boss. How could they dare to take a closer look at her? They just glanced at her and let her go.
"Stop!" Fenyun
was ordered to guard the palace gate, and she actually caught a maid of Concubine Ye in Shun'an Palace.
She took out the handwritten order from the empress, took the maid away, and warned the two guards guarding the inner gate: "If you dare to tell Concubine Ye or General Ye, the fact that you accepted bribes will be reported to the emperor. The smart ones will shut their mouths."
There was a strong wind and dark clouds outside the palace, as if a heavy rainstorm was brewing.
In the evening, the emperor came to Hexi Palace with a serious face. Behind him was not Wang Dequan, but dozens of guards in two rows, wearing black armor and full of murderous aura.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"Don't ask anything!"
Emperor Xuanwu hugged her and gave her a deep kiss on the top of her head. He said solemnly: "Yuer, from now on, you must listen carefully to every word I say. Close the palace gates tightly after nightfall. No matter who knocks, do not open the door. No matter what sound is heard, no palace servants are allowed to open the door to check. After I leave, I will let these black armored soldiers who are outnumbered by a hundred people stay to protect you. Remember, don't be afraid. I will be fine, and I won't let you be in trouble."
He gave such a solemn instruction, and it didn't sound like nothing was wrong.
Jiang Xinyue's lips moved, but she swallowed her words in the end, and nodded hesitantly: "I understand, Your Majesty..."
Her fingers tightly tugged at Emperor Xuanwu's clothes: "Ye Lang, no matter what happens, you must remember that the child and I are waiting for you here. If...if anything happens to you, I...I will bring the child to find you."
So you must not die!
If you die, the child and I will have to live by the queen's face for the rest of our lives.
It is a thousand times more difficult to capture the queen than to capture the emperor. It's too scary to think about it.
The emperor was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, and he nodded vigorously: "I will deal with the people who come to see you and the child as soon as possible."
After that, he waved his hand again, and a little carrot head came out. He looked about three or four years old, skinny and bony, like a frightened little rabbit, and didn't dare to look Jiang Xinyue in the eye.
"This is..."
Emperor Xuanwu raised his chin, and an old eunuch who was dressed in tattered clothes, was also skinny and as thin as a bamboo pole came over with the child: "Your servant Qian Sheng, bring the fourth prince to see Concubine Zhen."
Is this the fourth prince who is rumored to have no father, no mother, and a little weed?
Jiang Xinyue took a closer look. Although he was thin, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and his skin was fair. It was just that due to malnutrition, his skin was a little yellow. Apart from this, he looked exactly like Emperor Xuanwu in the dream when he was a child.
