Ever since Wu Ying was promoted to Head Eunuch, he occupied Zhang Yuan's room as his own. As for all the furnishings and the gold, silver, jewels and banknotes that Zhang Yuan left behind, he naturally classified them as his own property. Because of this, that Wu Ying had a few nights of sweet dreams, all for this windfall. One had to know, this was something that Qian Qing could not earn in his lifetime! It could be seen how much Emperor Tianwu favored and trusted Zhang Yuan.
However, he was still someone who lived in the palace and could not casually leave the palace. Even more so, he could not casually allow people to bring out the palace's belongings. That was against the palace rules. He could enjoy these items and money in the palace, and it was not impossible to transport them out. However, he had to at least stand firm and let everyone acknowledge his position. Only then would this matter be easier to handle. Therefore, at present, all the things that Zhang Yuan had previously obtained were still in the room. Not a single one was missing.
Feng Yu Heng was not the least bit courteous, and was not the least bit afraid of being suspected. She directly emptied the room. If it was not because she found it troublesome, she wanted to move those tables and chairs as well. But even so, the current scene was guaranteed to scare Wu Ying half to death when he returned. This matter would definitely be investigated, but it could only be a case without any clues. There was no way to find out the truth.
She was very satisfied with her results. Clapping her hands, she left, but followed Zhang Yuan to the Department of Guilty Servants. Only when she saw Zhang Yuan being handed over to the palace servants of the Department of Guilty Servants by the eunuch who had brought him here, and the person in charge of the Department of Guilty Servants very bossily threw him into a room that was the furthest to the north, where four people could share a bed, did she secretly follow in.
At this time, other than the newly arrived Zhang Yuan, the other guilty servants were all working outside. Even Zhang Yuan was only allowed to come in and change into the uniform of the Department of Guilty Servants. After that, he also had to immediately go out to work. It was said that there were more than two hundred sets of clothes waiting for him today, and five large vats of water waiting to be filled. When Feng Yu Heng came in, she saw those large vats. She only felt that if he was not idle the entire day, at most two vats would be filled. Five vats was really purposely making things difficult for him.
Zhang Yuan was almost in despair. He stared blankly at this dirty, cold and disgusting room. He sighed heavily and began to change. Feng Yu Heng quickly appeared before he could change his clothes. Gently covering his mouth, she said: "Don't make a sound. It's me."
Zhang Yuan really felt that this Royal Consort Yu was a fairy. She came in so silently. It had to be known that the Department of Guilty Servants had a lot of spies. Just in his courtyard, there were a lot of palace servants working. How did Royal Consort Yu come in?
Of course, he knew that he could not ask about his master's secret matters, nor should he try to figure it out. He only nodded, indicating that he knew the other's identity and would not make a sound. Only then did Feng Yu Heng let him go. Then, a small bag of silver and a few banknotes were stuffed into his hands. He heard Feng Yu Heng say, "These were all stolen from Wu Ying's room. You should have saved them before, right? Don't worry, I've stolen all your things from before for you and put them in a safe place. If you want them, I can give them to you anytime and anywhere. Or when you escape from your predicament one day, you can tidy up the new room until it's the same as before. But now that you're in this place, it's not convenient for you to keep too much money on you. You should keep these first for emergencies. Give that manager of the Department of Guilty Servants a large banknote, at least the five large vats of water can be waived. "
Zhang Yuan looked at these things and his tears fell uncontrollably. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Feng Yu Heng, but was stopped by Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng shook her head and said, "Now is not the time to be polite, protecting your own life is more important. Including the people in this room, you also need to give some small favours to make your life better. Now that Imperial Father has a strange illness, his temperament has changed greatly. We are all thinking of ways to make him recover as soon as possible. If you lose your little life during this period of time, when Imperial Father wakes up one day, I'm afraid that he will be angry because of you again. "
Zhang Yuan wiped his tears. Thinking of that heartless old Emperor, his tears flowed down in handfuls.
Feng Yu Heng had no intention to speak more with this little eunuch. Leaving behind the money, her figure flashed and she left. Zhang Yuan felt his eyes blur and in the time it took to rub his eyes, Royal Consort Yu had disappeared. He sighed in his heart that the other's martial arts were too good, just like those secret guards by the Emperor's side, appearing and disappearing unpredictably all day long. Thinking about what Feng Yu Heng said about the old Emperor having a strange illness, he couldn't help but worry again.
Leaving the Department of Guilty Servants, Feng Yu Heng did not directly leave the palace. The sky was already bright and she heard the palace servants say that the Emperor had already started morning court in Heavenly Hall. It seemed that he was not tired last night and still had the energy to attend court. Thus, she turned around and ran towards Cun Shan Palace.
Consort Li had already been checked, Consort Yuanshu's place must also be checked. If there really was a Gu cultivator, she felt that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he was hiding in Cun Shan Palace. Although she did not know how to deal with a Gu Master, even if she found out, she would not be able to do anything to the other party in a short period of time. She might not even be able to catch the person on the spot. But she had to at least have an idea and then go out to think of another way.
However, her thinking was still a little too naive. Something that was in the bag, when she arrived at Cun Shan Palace, she stumbled at the last ten percent.
There were no outsiders in Cun Shan Palace!
In other words, she had searched the entire Cun Shan Palace, including the main hall and the side halls. She did not find anyone suspicious at all, nor did she find anything suspicious. This Cun Shan Palace was so clean that no one could find anything wrong with it. All the palace servants were normal and were originally working in the palace. She could confirm that there was nothing suspicious. But this was strange! The Emperor was inflicted with a Gu and his temperament changed greatly. The people who benefited the most were Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince. If Consort Yuanshu's place was clean, could it be that she was in Sheng Palace?
That was even more impossible! If she was really in Sheng Palace, the Eighth Prince would not have been escorted to the execution grounds and almost got beheaded. If that person wanted to make a move, they would have made a move long ago. It was impossible for them to wait until something happened to Xuantian Mo before making a move. Moreover, during those days, Xuantian Mo was locked up in the death row prison and had no way of communicating with the outside world.
Feng Yu Heng felt that this place was too strange. Thus, she did not leave and stayed behind to wait for Consort Yuanshu to return. She wanted to hear what she said and did in the palace.
Consort Yuanshu returned from Zhao He Hall and did not make Feng Yu Heng wait for long. She returned to the palace not long after. But she did not do anything out of the ordinary. After returning, she bathed and changed her clothes. She then lay down on the soft bed and had two palace maids give her a full body massage. While massaging her, she said: "My entire body hurts. His Majesty really is the same as he was twenty years ago!"
The two palace maids who were massaging her had sweet mouths, as they followed Consort Yuanshu, saying: "Imperial concubine is no different from twenty years ago. You're young and charming. It would be strange if His Majesty did not like you! This is His Majesty doting on imperial concubine. If it were up to these servants, imperial concubine might be able to give birth to another prince for His Majesty. "
Hearing this, Consort Yuanshu could not help but cover her mouth and giggle. When she finally managed to stop, she said: "Forget about a prince. His Majesty has so many sons. Even if he gave birth to another prince, he might not like it. Moreover, this One only looks young. My age is still there for all to see! However, I've been eating quite a bit of nourishing food recently. If my stomach works well, I might be able to give birth to a princess. That would be a great thing. In our Dashun, giving birth to a prince is not a joyous occasion. Giving birth to a princess is a joyous occasion. "
"Yes! Imperial concubine will definitely give birth to a beautiful little princess! Oh, no! It's two. They'll definitely be twins. "
The two palace maids coaxed Consort Yuanshu until she was all smiles. Feng Yu Heng was a bit shocked when she heard this. She had forgotten about this matter. Women in the ancient times matured early. Consort Yuanshu entered the palace when she was fifteen years old. Although twenty years had passed, she was not even forty years old yet. At this age, in addition to the care she received in the palace and the favor she received over the past few days, she might be able to get pregnant again. This woman was already so arrogant now. If she really got pregnant, the palace would become the world of the mother and son pair.
Feng Yu Heng secretly decided that she would secretly put some contraceptive medicine in the tea she drank. Although it was a sinister move, she felt that it was not enough to use on Consort Yuanshu. No matter how sinister she used it, she would not be able to vent her anger.
She was waiting in Cun Shan Palace, thinking that the Eighth Prince might come here after court. Perhaps the mother and son would be able to talk about some substantial topics when they were together.
At the same time, in a small, secluded courtyard in the palace, Feng Zirui sat up from his bed. He was no longer sleepy.
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the fact that Consort Yuanshu's people had come to search him last night, he would have been able to wake up even earlier. After all, living in the palace, he had to be vigilant at all times. In addition, the Emperor had already gone to court, so he couldn't sleep too much. However, after what happened last night, no one could sleep well. Zirui was only an eleven-year-old child. He was at the age where he lacked sleep, so he woke up late.
He sat on his bed. His first thought was: Did Jiejie come last night? She should have come! Although he didn't see her, he had a feeling. That was his sister whose heart was connected to his heart. He could feel that his sister was by his side, but she didn't show herself to see him. He also knew that his sister must have been worried about leaving him alone in the palace, so she secretly came to see him. She also wanted him to grow up and face things alone, so she chose to come and not see him.
Zirui pursed his lips and smiled. It felt good to have someone care about him at all times. Right now, he could feel that he was fighting side by side with his sister and brother-in-law. Although this kind of battle was hidden, it still made him feel very excited.
Not long after, a palace maid pushed open the door and came in. It was the maidservant who had been on guard last night and had spoken to him.
Zirui watched as she placed a basin of water on the shelf and then walked in front of him. She first gave a bow and then said: "Young master, why don't you sleep a bit longer? After what happened last night, you probably haven't woken up enough yet, right? "Her voice was very soft, but it was filled with genuine concern.
Zirui shook his head and said: "I'm not sleeping. I'm a guest in the palace. The Emperor is in morning court, so how can I sleep? Bad habits will be criticized by others. If this was spread, I wouldn't mind, but I'm afraid that people will say that my sister didn't teach me well. " After he finished speaking, he stared at the palace maid for a while. He suddenly asked: "Are you really someone sent by his highness Feiyu?"
