Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Empress Dowager Fang looked at Shangguan Haitang and turned to Zhu Zaihou.""Hou 'er, this widow's Cining Palace lacks a clever palace maid. This widow thinks she's not bad.”
The Empress Dowager sized up Shangguan Haitang from head to toe. She was indeed a heavenly beauty, and there was a heroic spirit between her brows.
How could such a woman serve the Emperor?
If she climbed onto the dragon bed, wouldn't she hurt His Majesty?
The Empress Dowager's thoughts were completely different from Zhu Zaihou's.
Zhu Zaihou was always thinking about the country and the people of the world.
What the Empress Dowager thought about was mostly the internal strife in the harem and the mutual deception between the concubines.
She did not think that Shangguan Haitang's motive for entering the palace was simply to serve the king.
Shangguan Haitang listened to the Empress Dowager's words and revealed a look of understanding. She understood the Empress Dowager's thoughts, but she couldn't say anything or do anything.
Zhu Zaihou saw the two Empress Dowager's arrival and Shangguan Haitang's service in Cining Palace, and he guessed the whole story.
Shangguan Haitang was more important to Zhu Zaihou. After all, Shangguan Haitang was managing the world's best manor outside the palace.
Zhu Zaihou felt that it was necessary for him to tell the Empress Dowager about the stakes.
However, who was the one who fanned the flames in front of the Empress Dowager and actually instigated this one!
Zhu Zaihou looked at the two Empress Dowager. Before they entered the palace, they had already left the other palace maids and eunuchs outside the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Zaihou stood up and cupped his hands." Mother, if she was just an ordinary second-class guard with a saber, it would be understandable to keep her in Cining Palace. However, Shangguan Haitang is my spy. Her real identity is a secret agent in the palace. She manages the world's best manor for me."”
Empress Dowager Fang listened to Zhu Zaihou and frowned slightly.
Is she Hou 'er's spy?"
"Isn't she here to serve Hou 'er?”
"Reporting to mother, that is the case."
After Zhu Zaihou finished speaking, Shangguan Haitang stood up and cupped her hands."Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this official is willing to go to the Cining Palace to serve the Empress Dowager!”
Although Shangguan Haitang's voice was not loud, it was powerful.
Zhu Zaihou and the two Empress Dowager looked at Shangguan Haitang.
Empress Fang sized up Shangguan Haitang again and said,""This widow believes the emperor's words. It seems that someone wants to sow discord between this widow and Hou 'er!”
Empress Dowager Fang realized a problem.
After she entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she did not see Shangguan Haitang charm the Emperor. Moreover, Shangguan Haitang was not a woman outside the palace. She was the Emperor's second-class imperial guard with a saber.
There was nothing wrong with her being in the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
Obviously, someone was trying to sow discord between her and the Emperor!
……
Grand Empress Fang suddenly turned around, her phoenix robe fluttering in the wind."Ning Ze, come in for this widow!"
Ning Ze, the chief eunuch of the Cining Palace, ran into the main hall, his face ashen.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Zaihou and Shangguan Haitang watched the chief eunuch of the Cining Palace enter the main hall with a dejected face and kowtow.
Empress Dowager Fang looked at Ning Ze and said sternly,""This widow asks you, what did you say to this widow?”
Ning Ze, the head eunuch of Cining Palace, kowtowed and trembled. He was almost scared out of his wits.
"You tell this widow that the woman outside the palace entered the palace to bewitch the emperor. Why didn't this widow see who was bewitching His Majesty? Moreover, who gave you the guts to spy on the Palace of Heavenly Purity?”
Empress Dowager Fang said angrily.
Zhu Zaihou also understood.
The Chief Eunuch of Cining Palace was actually fanning the flames behind the Emperor's back in front of the Empress Dowager. Zhu Zaihou's expression was somewhat displeased.
In the Forbidden City, not only were there two Empress Dowager, but the concubines of Emperor Jiajing were also in the harem. There were also many consorts who were scheming and vicious.
"Empress Dowager, please forgive me. This old minister wouldn't dare to deceive Empress Dowager!”
Zhu Zaihou looked at Empress Dowager Fang and said,""Mother, let your son judge him.”
Empress Dowager Fang looked at Zhu Zaihou and nodded.""I'm afraid the harem isn't peaceful! It was good to investigate thoroughly. It's time to teach them a lesson!"
Fang Tai retreated to the side. Zhu Zaihou looked at the chief eunuch of Cining Palace and asked," Ning Ze, look up."
"Yes!"
Ning Ze, the head eunuch of Cining Palace, raised his head. Zhu Zaihou looked at Ning Ze's face. Zhu Zaihou had been by the Empress Dowager's side often, so he knew Ning Ze.
However, Zhu Zaihou didn't have a good impression of Ning Ze. Ning Ze gave off a very shrewd feeling.
"You actually came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to spy on me. Do you still have the Emperor in your eyes?”
Zhu Zaihou's casual words were like thunder, exploding in Ning Ze's ears.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Empress Dowager, save me!"
"Empress Dowager, save this old minister!"
Ning Ze kept kowtowing. He was terrified and afraid. He was indeed instigated by someone to sow discord between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
However, he couldn't reveal who had instigated him.
Zhu Zaihou turned to the Empress Dowager and said,""Reporting to mother, your son wants to interrogate this person.”
After all, Ning Ze was the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, so Zhu Zaihou had to inform the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Fang and Empress Dowager Du looked at each other. They also saw that there was something fishy about this matter.
"Alright, let Cao Zhengchun from the East Military Hall interrogate him personally!”
As soon as Empress Dowager Fang finished speaking, Ning Ze was scared out of his wits. Everyone knew how vicious Cao Zhengchun was. If he fell into his hands, he would definitely not have a good ending!
Shangguan Haitang had seen everything that had happened in the front chamber.
She knew that the harem was dangerous, but she did not expect that there would be so many invisible swords in the harem.
It was simply appalling!
……
The storm of imperial power gathered in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
No one could resist the imperial power!
"Men, Xuan Cao Zhengchun!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the decree, the fifty imperial guards walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Soon, Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Chamber, entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
After Cao Zhengchun paid his respects to the Emperor and the two Empress Dowager, Zhu Zaihou pointed at the Chief Eunuch of Cining Palace and said,""Bring this person to the East Chamber for interrogation and ask who instigated him to sow discord between Zhen and the Empress Dowager.”
"Yes!"
After Cao Zhengchun received the decree, he detained Ning Ze and brought him out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
Bring him to the East Chamber for interrogation, and interrogate him strictly!
What was certain was that there must be someone in the harem who was secretly stirring things up!
