Chuxiu Palace.
In Bai Muxue's boudoir.
Although she had the status of a lady, she did not have the status of a concubine. In the harem, she had to give birth to an heir for the emperor to establish herself in the palace.
However, no one told Bai Mu Xue about this. She was just a palace maid and not a beautiful lady. She did not enter the palace to become a concubine.
"Your Majesty…please have some tea…"
Bai Muxue blushed. Before Zhu Houzhao could take the teacup, Cao Zhengchun took the teacup and took out a silver needle to test the poison carefully.
After confirming that there was no poison, Cao Zhengchun passed the teacup to Zhu Houzhao.
"Has anyone been asking you about warmth recently?”
"Ask about warmth in a reserved manner?" Bai Muxue looked at Zhu Houzhao in confusion. She did not know what His Majesty was asking about.
"Did anyone ask you what you wanted to eat?”
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked this concubine, and this concubine said that she liked Hejian steamed bread…"
When Bai Muxue finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun frowned!
He suddenly realized something and said,"Please be careful with your words, Little Master!"
Cao Zhengchun remembered very clearly that the Seven-step Snake's poison came from the Hejian Soup Bread. If he followed Bai Muxue's words, wouldn't he suspect the Empress Dowager?
She might have said it unintentionally, but to the Empress Dowager, it was not unintentional.
Bai Muxue's face was filled with confusion. She did not know what she had said wrong. Was it a crime to eat Hejian steamed bread?
Recently, the poison case in the imperial kitchen had spread like wildfire, but not everyone knew the details. Bai Muxue knew that there was a poison case in the imperial kitchen, but she did not know that the poison was sprinkled in the Hejian steamed buns.
He was originally prepared to bring it to Chuxiu Palace for her…
Cao Zhengchun carefully reminded Bai Muxue. Cao Zhengchun knew that the Empress Dowager would not poison Bai Muxue. If the Empress Dowager wanted to kill someone in the harem, she could just give a decree and kill her…
Of course, if Bai Mu Xue left a son and a daughter for the emperor and had a position in the harem, the Empress Dowager would not be able to order the concubines to die unless the emperor decreed otherwise.
"Besides the Empress Dowager?"
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Bai Muxue shook her head.
"Where are your eunuchs and palace maids?”
"They didn't ask."
Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea and said,""Come to my chambers tonight."
Bai Muxue was pleasantly surprised.
When Zhu Houzhao walked out of Chuxiu Palace, he turned to Cao Zhengchun and said,""Investigate the palace maids and eunuchs of Chuxiu Palace!”
"Yes!"
Zhu Houzhao left Chuxiu Palace and returned to Yangxin Palace Hall!
After Zhu Houzhao left, Cao Zhengchun immediately investigated all the palace maids and eunuchs in Chuxiu Palace. Cao Zhengchun had a feeling that there was a powerful force hidden in the palace.
This powerful force had been lurking in the dark like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
However, no one knew who the owner of this force was or where it came from!
……
After Zhu Houzhao returned to Yangxin Palace Hall, he summoned Yu Huatian.
After an incense stick of time, Yu Huatian waited outside the hall.
"Summon him in!"
"Here!"
Not long after the eunuch left, Yu Huatian entered the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Rise."
"Yes!"
After Yu Huatian stood up, Zhu Houzhao said,"I heard that the people in the capital have been unstable recently. Restrain yourself and don't make people panic!”
When Yu Huatian heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground."Your Majesty, I only arrested some of the East Chamber's foreigners and the eunuchs involved in this case. I didn't arrest the people of the capital.”
" Take care of yourself. I asked you to investigate the White Lotus Society. Don't implicate the innocent. Don't even think about taking the opportunity to eliminate your dissidents…"
"After listening to Your Majesty's teachings, I admit my mistake.”
Yu Huatian was indeed a little selfish. This time, he had deliberately captured some of the East Hall's members to suppress the East Hall.
It was just that the Emperor was so perceptive that Yu Huatian felt fear in his heart.
"Yu Huatian."
"Your subject is here."
"I can give you power in the court, so I can make you consigned to eternal damnation.”
Zhu Houzhao casually waved his hand, causing Yu Huatian to break out in cold sweat.
Although Tian Zi's voice was very soft, it was like a clap of thunder, scaring Yu Huatian so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Tian Zi had said it very clearly. If Zhen uses you, you will have power over the world. If Zhen doesn't use you, you will die without a burial place!
Although Tian Zi didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was as such!
……
After Yu Huatian left Yangxin Palace Hall, he realized that his back was drenched.
Although the Son of Heaven was young, he was the ruler of a country.
Yu Huatian knew that he had gone too far recently. If the Emperor turned a blind eye, everything would be fine.
If His Majesty were to investigate further, he would find that the West Chamber had too many things that His Majesty could use against them. If His Majesty wanted to abolish the West Chamber, he would issue an imperial edict and the West Chamber would cease to exist!
After Yu Huatian left the palace, he paid a visit to the Minister of Justice, Hong Zhong, and took the initiative to inform the Minister of Justice and Six Fan School about the investigation of the West Military Court…
Hong Zhong felt like the sun had risen from the west when he saw Yu Huatian arrive. Since when did the West Military Hall share their actions with the Ministry of Justice?
One had to know that Yu Huatian had once said something very famous: Things that the East Chamber doesn't dare to interfere with, the West Chamber will interfere. People that the East Chamber doesn't dare to kill, the West Chamber will kill.
The Minister of Justice, Hong Zhong, looked at the humble and polite Yu Huatian and asked,""Rain Governor? Why was he so polite today?“
"In order to maintain the stability of the people in the capital, we have to serve His Majesty and enjoy the benefits of the king.”
The Minister of Justice looked at Yu Huatian's expression and was even more confused. How arrogant was Yu Huatian?
Especially when he returned from North Korea, he was in the limelight.
Why did she seem so submissive today?
He even considered the citizens of the capital?
Isn't your West Hall the existence that the people fear the most?
This Yu Huatian was strange!
Yu Huatian saw that the Minister of Justice did not seem to believe him and continued,"I just left the palace. Before I left the palace, His Majesty instructed me not to implicate the innocent…"
Boom!
Realization dawned on him!
The Minister of Justice finally understood!
No wonder he felt like the West Military Factory's superintendent was a yes-man. It turned out that he had just been reprimanded by the Emperor.
No wonder Yu Huatian was so frightened. It turned out that he was afraid of the majesty of the emperor.
If the emperor had not reprimanded him, how could the Governor of the West Hall be willing to come to the Ministry of Justice and cooperate with the Ministry of Justice?
Hong Zhong never thought that he would be able to see Yu Huatian's humble side in this life. It really wasn't easy!
Hong Zhong was even more respectful of Tian Zi.
Only Tian Zi could suppress West Hall and make the arrogant Yu Huatian lower his head.
"Governor Yu, since the West Hall has the intention to ally with the Ministry of Justice, I have summoned the four famous constables for a discussion!”
"I'll listen to you, Minister!"
Yu Huatian obeyed the imperial edict and did not dare to go against Zhu Houzhao's will!
……
The Cabinet.
Chief Minister Liu Jian and Minister of Revenue Liang Chu were sitting together, discussing the recent events in the court.
Putting aside whether the White Lotus Society was up to something, the construction of Liaodong was already on the agenda.
The sooner Liaodong was built, the sooner he could sleep soundly.
In recent years, many places had been hit by disasters. The winters were very cold and the mountains were sealed by heavy snow.
And winter was very long…
