Chapter 37 Investigation Results

Xiao Xuanzi didn't say anything, and there was no emotion in her eyes. She just smiled at her.

Jiang Yuan smiled maliciously: "You are so loyal to her, just hoping that one day she will come out of the cold palace and take you with her, and then you will rise to prominence. I tell you, don't dream. She just has to please you because she is temporarily out of power. The day she rises again will be your death." There

are too many masters and servants in the palace who share weal and woe together when they are down and out. When the master becomes prosperous, the first one to be attacked is the loyal servant.

It's because that person has seen her the most unbearable and knows most of her secrets.

Xiao Xuanzi sighed, "The things have been delivered, you can do whatever you want!"

He wanted to please the noble lady. The masters and servants in this palace are all the same. If you don't want to be bullied, how can you not climb up?

He had served in front of the powerful master before, but because the eunuch in charge was jealous of his ability and felt threatened by the master's compliments, he was transferred to the cold palace, a place where he could never turn over in his life.

He has lived in the cold palace for three years and had already accepted his fate, but God made him meet the noble lady, and the ladder to climb up was delivered to him. Could he be a fool and didn't know how to climb up?

But Jiang Yuan was wrong about one thing, that is, people are sincere to each other.

If the noble lady was just using him and had no sincerity, then he would be the same to her.

But after spending so much time together, he could feel that Zhen Guiren had a simplicity and innocence that most of the masters in the harem did not have.

She was scheming and calculating, but this calculation was always directed at the enemy. She was extremely protective of her own people.

This can be seen from the fact that Shuangjiang risked being caught by Concubine Li Guifei in order to send Hongluo Charcoal to the cold palace.

The howling north wind blew through the hall. Jiang Yuan never dreamed that in her first winter in the cold palace, when she was almost frozen to death, the first warmth was sent by her enemy.

She was not grateful at all, and even felt that Jiang Xinyue was showing off. She was also a frustrated person in the cold palace, but she had a high bed with soft pillows and servants to serve her. She was alone in the cold wind and rain.

Now, even to wash clothes, she had to fetch water by herself.

Zhongcui Palace -

Wan Guiyi knelt on the ground, her eyes were red like a rabbit, tears were about to fall, very pitiful.

But the main seat Emperor Xuanwu was iron-hearted and was not moved at all: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but Wan Guiyi suggested to me that the Honglu Temple Secretary can replace the Shaoqing. Do you know that Shaoqing Jiang studied overseas and can speak five languages. He is the best in my Great Yan?"

The emperor looked very angry. Wan Guiyi did not dare to say, didn't the emperor show in front of me that he didn't want to reuse the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple and showed embarrassment, and I just mentioned the Honglu Temple Secretary in order to help the emperor out of trouble?

She never left the main gate or the secondary gate. She had never left her home before entering the palace. After entering the palace, she was locked up in the deep palace. How could she know how powerful Jiang Shaoqing was?

She only knew that the Honglu Temple was in charge of the four barbarian rulers and envoys to the court, distinguished their ranks, treated them with courtesy, granted them residences, and granted them the ceremony of audience, gifts, and banquets. The officials were warned to prepare the equipment in advance; if there were tributes, the number of tributes should be reported to the Sifang Pavilion, and then introduced to the emperor.

How could she know that she had to know so many languages?

Wan Guiyi angered the emperor because of her interference in government affairs. She was demoted from the fourth rank to the fifth rank. This made many concubines who wanted to make a big fuss at the New Year's banquet quiet down for a while.

No one wants to see ten years of hard work go to waste in one day.

So when the translators of the Honglu Temple were not enough and the emperor was in trouble, Empress Zhu suddenly announced the results of the investigation into the case of Concubine Li falling into the water some time ago.

It was all because the criminal slave Jiang Yuan was jealous of Zhen Guiren's favor, and the incident of Xiao Aijiang caused her to be demoted, so she had evil intentions towards Zhen Guiren.

She first sawed off the railings of the Xihe Hall with a saw, and then invited Concubine Li to come and deliberately smear oil on the floor at the break, causing the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to slip and throw Concubine Li out.

Afterwards, she bribed the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department, used a non-existent palace maid to frame Xi Que, who was close to Zhen Guiren, and then used the concubines who were unaware of the situation to force the emperor to banish Zhen Guiren to the cold palace.

Her purpose was to make Zhen Guiren eat arsenic and die miserably in the cold palace that day.

"What a vicious mind." Concubine Liang agreed, "Didn't Sister Zhen suffer in vain?"

Empress Zhu smiled and suggested to the emperor, "I have heard that the daughter of Jiang Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple has been influenced by her father since she was a child and is proficient in many languages. The five daughters of the Jiang family are all like this. Isn't there a lack of such talents at the New Year's Banquet? Why doesn't Your Majesty release the noble lady Zhen to make up for the shortage, and let her accompany Your Majesty to translate. Wouldn't it not show that in our great country, women can also be knowledgeable and talented?"

In short, Emperor Xuanwu's concubine was so capable that it really made him proud.

Concubine Li sat in her seat with her teeth itching in anger. The wound on her forehead would actually heal in three days, but in order to make it more realistic, she wrapped it for more than a month before removing the cloth. She

worked so hard to act out this play, but in the end, Jiang Yuan got involved and she even made a wedding dress for Jiang Xinyue.

But what could she do?

Jiang Yuan was already abandoned, and the emperor's expression told her that he was tempted by the queen's proposal.

She couldn't offend the emperor just for Jiang Yuan.

Wan Guiyi was demoted because she suggested to the emperor to replace Jiang Shaoqing with the Minister of Honglu Temple.

Sometimes Concubine Li felt very confused. Was the emperor demoted because Wan Guiyi went to the cold palace and bullied Zhen Guiren, or was he really demoted because of her interference in government?

When the first snow fell in Dayan Dynasty, Jiang Xinyue asked Xiao Xuanzi to go to the Yu Kitchen to find the Yu Chef who had learned barbecue from her, and asked them to send the ingredients she wanted. She wanted to make fried chicken.

The three-piece set of Korean dramas: fried chicken, beer and handsome guys.

A handsome guy hasn't come to find her yet, so she can only keep company with delicious food.

Because the two Yu Chefs learned Jiang Xinyue's barbecue, their status in the Yu Kitchen was greatly improved. Hearing that Zhen Guiren was going to make delicious food again, they hurried to prepare everything she wanted.

They didn't care whether they went to Hexi Palace or the cold palace. What was important was to learn the skills themselves.

Only by learning them could they please the emperor and the masters and get everything they wanted.

Looking at the dazzling array of stoves and oil pans in front of her, Jiang Xinyue rolled up her sleeves and started working: "Marinate the chicken first."

Otherwise, if it is fried with flour, the meat inside will be tasteless and not delicious.

"Master, there is flour on your nose. I will wipe it off for you."

Before Xi Que could make her move, the imperial edict arrived. Everyone knelt on the ground immediately, not caring about the dirt on their hands.
