Today's morning is destined to be restless, with one wave rising after another.

Hong Chenghai, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, has just been thrown into death row, and something big has happened in the Jin Palace. Even if no one dares to spread rumors about his master, there are so many people in the palace, so how easy is it to control such a big thing?

The news spread in one morning. Almost everyone in the imperial city knew that King Jin accidentally killed his own princess. Various versions of rumors spread quietly. King Jin caught Princess Jin having an affair with someone in the palace, and King Jin caught him. A green cloud shrouded the head, and he killed the adulterer and adulterer in a fit of anger——

This huge scandal cannot be concealed even if it is wanted.

The emperor was furious and ordered Chu Qinghuang to put all the copied silver into the treasury, sort out all the evidence and account books, and send them to the imperial study room, and then announced the disbandment of the court.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, the emperor summoned Chu Tianyin to the palace urgently.

While the ministers were frightened, the officials of the Feng clan, headed by the Prime Minister, all had solemn and uneasy expressions, as if the sky was about to fall, and they even looked at Chu Qinghuang with frightened and cold eyes.

The harem was even more lively.

The Queen Mother is old and always wakes up early. The female officials help her change clothes. Several maids carry basins and other toiletries and stand respectfully aside, waiting to serve the Queen Mother.

"The Empress and the Imperial Concubine arrived just before they burned the incense. They are waiting outside with all the concubines in the harem, waiting to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Why did they come so early today?"

"My servant doesn't know very well." The female officer whispered, with a bit of caution in her tone, "But something big happened last night, and His Majesty got very angry this morning."

Get angry?

The Queen Mother's expression darkened: "What happened last night? Why didn't the Ai family hear anything about it?"

"Last night, the emperor ordered the commander of the imperial army to lock the palace door. News from outside could not reach the palace." The female officer lowered her head to arrange her clothes, and her tone became more cautious. "I heard that the eldest princess brought someone to bring the minister of household affairs to the palace last night. Hong Chenghai’s home was raided.”

The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed: "Hong family?"

"yes."

The Queen Mother did not speak, but her expression became visibly gloomier.

The palace door was locked early. Who was the emperor guarding against?

"The Queen Mother!" Feng Ping, the personal eunuch, hurried into the inner hall, "Something happened outside!"

The Queen Mother said angrily: "What happened again?"

"A murder occurred in Prince Jin's Mansion. His Highness Prince Jin accidentally killed the princess...by mistake!"

The Queen Mother's vision went dark and she almost fell over.

"The Queen Mother, please calm down!" Feng Ping quickly held her arm, "The Queen Mother, please take care of your body!"

All the people in the palace immediately knelt on the ground: "The Queen Mother, please take care of your body!"

Outside the Renshou Palace, the concubines in the harem, headed by the Queen, stood quietly. Among them, the Queen looked graceful and luxurious, Concubine Duan looked leisurely, Concubine Duan looked pale and gloomy, Concubine Xian had nothing to do with herself, and the other low-ranking concubines all looked respectful. , eyebrows slightly lowered, and strictly abiding by the rules that a concubine should have when greeting her.

Concubine Feng's mood was like an ant on a hot pot. If the raid on the House of Minister of the Ministry of Finance only made her furious, and she was so angry that she cursed the bitch Chu Qinghuang continuously, then the incident in Prince Jin's Palace was enough to make her panic and uneasy. .

Tianyin was cuckolded and even killed his own princess with his own hands!

These two things were enough to ruin all her years of planning.

For any man, being cuckolded will make him lose his mind. It is a great shame and humiliation. What's more, if it happens to a noble prince, it is simply a royal scandal.

But compared to killing the princess with his own hands, scandals have to be put aside.

Concubine Feng Guifei thought about her son's future situation, and her heart felt like it was on fire, and suddenly she fell into an ice cellar. Originally, the Queen Mother arranged the marriage with King Zhenbei for him, hoping to get some help in the future, but the help has not yet been received. , but Qi died.

She didn't even know how it happened.

Hearing the bad news in the morning, she hurriedly changed her clothes and went to see the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, the Queen and Concubine Duan also got up early for the first time and rushed to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

Concubine Feng’s heart was full of hatred.

They must have done it on purpose, to watch her laugh, to not want her to be alone with the Queen Mother, to delay her time to ask for help.

When Concubine Duan was talking to her, the gloating in her eyes was almost written on her face. She was gentle and dignified? Damn gentleness and demureness.
