Chapter 281 Survival Rules

The chief eunuchs of Hexi Palace came out, and the eunuchs and guards on night watch quickly went to investigate the situation.

In a moment, they reported: "Reply to Eunuch Jiang, there is a wall over the vegetable garden. It may have fallen into disrepair and collapsed, so there was a noise."

Jiang Chuan frowned: "The wall collapsed?"

The good-for-nothings in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who said they were very submissive to her mother, could actually make the brick wall of their Hexi Palace collapse.

They are all a bunch of flatterers who only talk but do nothing.

Unlike him, he works for the mother.

He turned around and went back to his room and put on a thin shirt: "Let's go and take a look."

A young eunuch came forward and tried to flatter him: "Eunuch Jiang, it's getting late and the dew is heavy. You should go back and continue to sleep! This is just a small matter, we can just go and take a look, and then ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send someone to fix it tomorrow."

Jiang Chuan slapped him on the head: "What? You want to take credit for me and gain face in front of the Empress! I tell you, in this Hexi Palace, as long as it involves the Empress and the Sixth Prince, then nothing is a small matter. You should give us a brighter light. As long as they are wholeheartedly doing this for the Empress and the Sixth Prince, you will be known for a long time, and you will definitely benefit from it. But if there are some who are confused and want to take shortcuts, there is no need for the Empress to deal with them. I, Jiang Chuan, will be the first to get rid of you."

Several young eunuchs immediately adjusted their attitude and said they dared not.

It should be said that no palace maid who had served in Hexi Palace wanted to leave.

The mistress was kind and beautiful, never mistreating her servants, and even giving out bonuses during festivals. The mistress was

also favored, and people from outside, whether masters or servants, were polite to the people from Hexi Palace. When they went out, they were all respectable people.

So even if the mistress's favorites were only Jiangchuan, Xiaoxuanzi, Shuangjiang, Xijue, and Nanny Xiang, they didn't want to go to other palaces.

Why do you want to stand out?

Isn't it just to lie down and live a comfortable life?

They don't have to work hard and strive to stand out, but they can lie down. Why should they hang their necks on their belts and suffer that fatigue?

Jiangchuan saw that they were all obedient, so he took them to the vegetable garden.

The fruits and vegetables in the garden were all the treasures of Frost and Magpie. If they were hit by the broken wall, the two girls would be very angry when they got home.

"Ah!"

Magpie sat on the bed, rubbed her nose, and sneezed several times in a row.

Shuangjiang patted her injured leg, and Xi Que hugged her leg and cried exaggeratedly: "It's broken, it's broken..."

What greeted her was a roll of the eyes from Shuangjiang: "You were injured and you could just rest in the room, but you insisted on going to watch the fun. Do you still want your leg to heal?"

Xi Que pouted: "I just had a piece of meat bitten off, and my bones are not injured. Doctor Yan said it's okay. You and the queen are too nervous."

While Shuangjiang hadn't said anything back, she quickly blocked her words with: "You haven't seen that Zhang Ronghua, who thought Concubine Cheng was spoiled and could show off in front of our queen. She has been praising Concubine Cheng for the past two days. How can Concubine Ronghua praise a concubine who is not as good as herself like this? , I'm really enlightened."

Shuangjiang poured her a cup of hot water: "Cheng Jieyu's father has just been promoted to the Minister of Justice and works under our queen's father. Zhang Ronghua thinks that Cheng has the potential to overthrow Shangshu, so she is acting like this!"

Jiang Xinyue was teasing the Sixth Prince, and Xiang Ma was also telling this to Jiang Xinyue as a joke: "This Zhang Ronghua is really a strange person. She has always been doing some small tricks behind your back. Your Majesty, you have never paid attention to her, why is she biting you like a mad dog? "

Jin Zhaoyi has come to her senses and has been quietly being her own mascot in the palace. The queen has never treated her badly and often sent her some fresh things.

But this Zhang Ronghua is jumping up and down like a grasshopper.

Xiao Xiangzi nodded: "Some people do wrong things and get bad results, but they often don't look for the reasons in themselves, and always think that others are hurting them."

Jiang Xinyue didn't say anything, shaking the rattle left and right to exercise the baby's tracking ability.

Everyone in this world has their own survival rules. She never judges a person's way of dealing with the world. As long as they don't hurt her, she doesn't want to be a person with blood on her hands.

The emperor hasn't come for a few days. He kept Cheng Yuan in the palace to escape the summer heat, waiting to return to the capital with his ministers to report on his duties.

Jiang Xinyue guessed that the emperor didn't want to keep him to escape the summer heat, but because the great uncle had not returned yet, and his life or death was uncertain, he wanted to keep Cheng Yuan in the palace as a target.

The Zhu family fell, but most of the officials of the former Zhu family are still there, and they did not participate in the rebellion.

Jiang Yanxi will become the target of public criticism if he pulls down the Yu family.

And now the Jiang family is like a rootless duckweed in the eyes of the emperor, and can't withstand a little storm.

Therefore, he wants to keep Cheng Yuan in the temporary palace and let the hall uncle make him a target.

People with ulterior motives will definitely check why Cheng Jieyu was favored only after her father came?

Moreover, Cheng Yuan was named a doctor of the Ministry of Justice and worked under the father of the imperial concubine who was favored in the harem.

The future is limitless!

The Yu family is not a lone commander, and there are good families in the capital who communicate with each other.

Emperor Xuanwu will follow the clues and pull out all the officials in the capital who colluded with the Yu family.

Even if we can't catch them all now, one day, these people will be replaced slowly.

So...

people outside are waiting to see Jiang Xinyue's joke, but she doesn't care at all.

Zhang Ronghua is just a grasshopper in autumn, and she won't be proud for a few days.

What kind of good person is Cheng Jieyu?

"Did Ye Chang find out anything there?"

Jiang Xinyue is more concerned about this.

There is a hidden master of poison in the harem, who can make the emperor and Wang Dequan both fall into the trap, and it's silent, even the Imperial Hospital can't find out the reason.

The strange ice-blue butterfly was finally found to be just an ordinary butterfly.

Xiao Xiangzi shook his head: "I've asked Ye Changzai to recall it countless times, and the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that they still haven't found any suspicious people."

"Where's the eunuch who delivered the wine?"

"That was someone under Eunuch Tang Shiliang. He never let anyone get close to the wine pot... But... I think there is something strange."

"What's strange?"

"In the testimonies of Concubine Ye and the little eunuch, there was a big fat black cat."

"Cat?"

Xiao Xiangzi nodded: "Maybe a concubine raised it in the past and then abandoned it. Who knows where it is hiding? It occasionally runs out. On the day of the dinner, the little eunuch saw the cat. Concubine Ye was also frightened by it and drank a glass of wine. Concubine Zhang was kind enough to lend her a handkerchief to wipe off the wine stains."

Jiang Xinyue closed her eyes and muttered to herself: strange cat, wine, butterfly, handkerchief... and... Concubine Zhang.
