Just as the Jiao family reunited.

In Chuxiu Palace.

The queen and Concubine Wu each had several ends of the kang. The queen was sitting dignified with her legs tightly. Concubine Wu leaned lazily on the cushion, and her petite figure almost fell into it.

"Has Jiao Shun practiced martial arts? Otherwise, how could he fight the two assassins alone without any injury? I heard that the weapons in the hands of those two assassins were all covered with poison that was blood-sealed!"

Concubine Wu asked curiously, while she unconsciously hooked her feet, sometimes graceful and lightly spinning, sometimes straight and tight, sometimes drawing beautiful curves, just like dancing on the bed.

Although she was in her own bedroom and facing sisters with common secrets, the queen's sitting posture was still impeccable.

She shook her head gently and said, "I have never heard of this. I just said that I have been to elementary school for two years - maybe it's because I'm very strong. Judging from his stature, it shouldn't be difficult to fight against two."

When she said, "I don't lose weight," her face became a little hot inexplicably. She quickly picked up the almond tea and took a sip of it to cover it up.

Concubine Wu stared at the corner of the queen's mouth with her eyes radiantly until the queen put down the tea cup and wiped the tea stains on the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. Then she looked back with a deep impression and said, "Can this almond tea make it even more?"

While speaking, the originally rhythmic feet were quietly twisted.

"It tastes good, but it's a bit thicker and turbid."

The queen answered casually, suddenly woke up, glanced at Concubine Wu with a angrily, and said, "I also said that my sister came here as soon as she came, why did she bring her own tea? But it turned out... I can't be fooled by you next time!"

Concubine Wu covered her mouth and smiled. Her biggest hobby recently was to try every means to bring fantasy into reality.

It is said that there are 1,000 Hamlets in a thousand readers. Although Jiao Shun's two memorials are far inferior to classic works, they also have similar effects - the queen always subconsciously substitutes herself into it, while Concubine Wu always substitutes the queen into it.

While the two were laughing and quarreling, someone suddenly reported outside that it was said that the Concubine Xiande had been summoned.

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly said, "Come in quickly."

As he said that, he got up and went out to greet him.

Concubine Wu was a little reluctant, but she still got up and followed.

Since the queen mentioned the story of "get rid of the mother and keeping her son" last time, she has restrained her a little in front of others, but as the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. She has become accustomed to doing whatever she wants in front of others. Now that she wants to restrain herself, she will never be able to return to the previous look of being cautious in words and actions and being low and doing small things.

But they said that the two met Jia Yuanchun outside and led her to sit in the inner room.

The Empress and Concubine Wu still had several ends of the kang, while Jia Yuanchun sat on the chairs temporarily added by the palace maids. The three of them were the best figures in the palace. Chunlan, Qiuqiu and chrysanthemums gathered together, which was said to have their own victory.

The Empress is dignified and elegant in her temperament, and her every frown and smile shows her royal demeanor. She looks like the spring breeze blowing on her face, but she is also inviolable. Concubine Wu is good at dancing and music, has a delicate figure, and is tight and delicate in maintenance. Although she is the only woman among the three, she looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

As for Jia Yuanchun, she originally took the gentle and dignified route like the queen, but after experiencing the recent things, her beautiful facial features have added a bit of indifference and alienation. With her tall figure with a golden ratio, she is definitely a cold and arrogant demeanor.

However, Concubine Wu had already sat down. Yu Guang swept the table, suddenly stood up and poured a cup of tea with great care, and personally delivered it to Concubine Xiande, and said with a hint of a smile: "Sister, try it, this is the Queen's favorite drink."

The queen was listening and couldn't help but give her a fierce look.

Concubine Wu didn't care at all, and sat back on her original position with a smile, and gave the queen a cup, which made the queen's cheeks flush.

Jia Yuanchun first said thank you, then took the almond tea and sipped it lightly, and then praised the "good tea". It was strange that it could win the favor of the Queen.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Wu laughed more and more happily.

Jia Yuanchun also laughed. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious on the surface, but she could always feel a sense of vagueness.

This is not the first time Jia Yuanchun has experienced this feeling.

Since she reciprocated her love and moved closer to the Queen and Concubine Wu, she found that there seemed to be some tacit understanding between the two, which always made her feel excluded from time to time.

At that time, I thought it was the need for each other to get along and adapt to the re-established relationship.

But as time goes by, no matter how hard Jia Yuanchun works, it is still difficult to break this barrier, and even tend to become increasingly fierce.

This is normal. One is the mother of the six palaces, and even if the emperor passes away, he will not lose the position of the queen mother; the other is the prince, and the mother will be honored by her son in the future.

In comparison, she is just a concubine with uncertain future.

But the Xiandefei always felt that what caused the gap between the two sides seemed not just the gap in status, but also another unspeakable thing.

What exactly is this ‘thing’?

Jia Yuanchun, who was desperate to find a support for the future, has speculated more than once, but has never been able to find the answer.

After tasting the tea, the queen wanted to chat with Jia Yuanchun for a few words, but Concubine Wu was impatient to be polite with her and said straight to the point: "The Queen and I invite you here, mainly to ask what happened to Jiao Changqing's assassination this time."

Concubine Wu seemed to be leisurely and even had time to joke with the queen. That was based on Jiao Shun's safety and safety, and it did not mean that she was just taking it lightly.

You know, that is the person who is destined to become a confidant of his son. If he is killed for no reason, wouldn’t it be a big loss?

When she heard her questioning in a blunt manner, the queen calmed down and looked at Jia Yuanchun seriously, waiting for her to explain. When she noticed the plain long skirt on Concubine Xiande, the queen felt something in her eyes.

Jia Yuanchun was slightly stunned, and he didn't expect that the queen and Concubine Wu came to him to inquire about this matter.

Then she said carefully: "Sister asked, I should have said everything, but first, this matter involved outside the palace, and second, His Majesty shook his left and right back then, and I couldn't..."

"We didn't ask what you heard or saw."

Concubine Wu directly interrupted her excuse and said unquestionably: "We just want to know how you view this matter - and then, will there be a next time such a thing?"

"this……"

Concubine Xiande hesitated for a moment, and when she thought of her current situation, she tried her best to admit it: "Mr. Jiao has made many enemies, so it is still difficult to determine who did it - but most of the people behind the scenes are undoubtedly in the capital."

"How do you know that person is in Beijing?"

"It may be possible for Yan Xiao to send someone to assassinate the criminal officer, but it is impossible to run to the boat to assassinate the imperial envoy. Then it can be basically concluded that the purpose of the assassin was mostly Lord Jiao at the beginning. This time, Lord Jiao was ordered to go to Tongzhou for supervision by chance. There was no warning in advance. Those who could learn the news in time and sent people to Tongzhou to assassinate must be the well-informed person in the capital."

Jia Tanchun talked freely and uncovered the two's doubts, but what followed was even greater doubts.

Concubine Wu said: "Since it's not because of the smuggling case, why did Master Long live with so many officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in one go?"

"this……"

Jia Yuanchun felt like a mirror in his heart when the emperor did this. After all, the cost estimates of the Beijing-Xiang Railway and the laying of wires must be conveyed to the emperor through her hands.

But this matter is really hard to explain, so I could only say vaguely: "Maybe Your Majesty has other considerations."

"That……"

"Let's not mention these."

Concubine Wu was still waiting to ask again, and the queen suddenly spoke, "I heard that the prince of Taiwei Wang is still detained in Dali Temple. As the saying goes, the law is nothing more than human nature. Even if he is really involved in the case, he should wait until after the incident is taken care of Taiwei Wang's affairs. If my sister is inconvenient to speak, I will mention it to the emperor tomorrow."

Concubine Wu then remembered that Jia Yuanchun had just died of his uncle.

Jia Yuanchun actually didn't want to interfere in the Wang family's affairs at this time, but the queen did this out of kindness, and she couldn't refuse, so she could only stand up and say, "Thank you for your fulfillment. I thank the Empress for your grace for my uncle's family."

As he said that, he bent his knees and wanted to kneel.

The queen hurriedly got up to help her.

The two of them gave in for a while, and finally Concubine Wu spoke and then they all came back to their place.

……………

There are three-legged tripods in Chuxiu Palace, and the Wenyuan Pavilion is also the same.

The second servant He Tiren's face was as deep as water, the Wuying Palace Grand Secretary Xu Furen sneered with his eyebrows, and the Dong Pavilion Grand Secretary Wang Zhe was calm and calm, sitting around a square table with horns.

"Tell me."

The first one to speak was naturally Jisuke He Tiren. He bent his fingers and gently tapped on the table: "How should we deal with this time when His Majesty issuing the imperial edict bypassing the cabinet?"

"What's there to say?"

Xu Furen despised Wang Zhe on the opposite side and sneered: "Whoever breaks the rules will naturally be responsible for the mess. Compared with this, the emperor was furious and promulgated a thorough investigation of the imperial envoy. It seems that it is not considered a violation of the rules."

Wang Zhe ignored his sarcasm, but He Tiren frowned slightly and said, "How can you make arbitrarily judgements about those things that catch wind and shadows? The most important thing now is that Your Majesty takes this opportunity to intentionally connect the telegrams in the palace with Shuntian Mansion. Once this example is opened, the telegram halls built in the local area will also reach Tianting from time to time? If so, what's the use of keeping us?"

After hearing this, Xu Furen's attitude finally changed, but he still stared at Wang Zhe.

At this time, Wang Zhe finally spoke slowly: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is now in anger. Instead of defending his strengths, it is better to give up the favor and take the initiative to request that the confidential yamen in the capital be connected with Wenyuan Pavilion first, and then summarize and report to the imperial front by the cabinet - isn't this Wenyuan Pavilion also in the palace?"

"Hmph~"

Although I thought this idea was quite desirable, Xu Furen sneered and asked, "I wonder if I should find someone from the engineering school to take care of you when the telegram is received, or those so-called new scholars of you?"

"Brother Xu!"

He Tiren shouted lightly and frowned and said, "It's fine if people outside talk nonsense. Don't you and I know that Lord Wang is doing this to survive the way of the saint."

It was obvious that he was scolding, but the relatives and distant names revealed his true thoughts.

Xu Furen could naturally hear it, and immediately glanced at Wang Zhe and said, "I'm afraid that some people are talking about the saint's way, but in fact they want to replace the traitor Jiao Shun and take advantage of the situation to be the life-seeking assistant!"

Hearing what he said so bluntly, Wang Zhe's expression finally changed drastically, and he immediately slapped and said angrily: "Mr. Xu, Wang..."

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside.

He Tiren took the opportunity to make a silence gesture, and then called the small officials outside the door to come in to report the matter.

The minor official saw a tribute when he entered the door, then walked around He Tiren's body and whispered a few times.

After hearing this, He Tiren waved his hand to signal the minor official to retreat, and then shook his head and said, "It's really a matter of trouble. There is another change in the case of Jiao Changqing's assassination. The people from Shuntian Mansion have found that the two assassins were found. They left the capital city early this morning, and are now fully pursuing their movements in the city."

Xu Furen said 'eh' and said strangely: "Jia Shifei has always been dragging his mind when doing things, but now why has he suddenly become smart and forcibly?"

He Tiren chuckled and said, "How many of these past prefects of Shuntian are not deaf and mute mother-in-laws? But this time it was not Jia Yucun's efforts, but the Inspectorate was urging too tightly."

"Inspectorate?"

Wang Zhe raised his eyebrows: "Jiang Zhao Rongheng, the Right Censor?"
