Chapter 107 7 A clever and exquisite heart.
The third prince Hongshi ran into the cabinet in a panic, and Tong Jia Yunrong lowered her head slightly and smiled with satisfaction.
Then she raised her head, frowned, and covered herself with the quilt. Her personal maids, Qingyun and Taxue, covered her tightly.
Yinzhen angrily scolded him, "You are already 15 years old, yet you are still so unruly.
What did your master teach you? Have you finished practicing your calligraphy? Don't get involved in the affairs of the harem!
As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Hongli walked into the room, but he walked slowly and in a square step, and then looked at Yinzhen.
He knelt respectfully and said, "Please, Father, for the sake of my brother's love for his mother, thoroughly investigate this matter."
Tong Jia Yunrong realized that the situation was not good, and immediately held Yinzhen's hand, with tears falling on the back of his hand.
He said pitifully, “Cousin, my chief eunuch Zhao Fenghai has already investigated everything.
It was Concubine Qi who believed that I was wrong, so she sent someone to intervene, causing me to suffer this ordeal...
Liu Hua was very close and could see clearly, but Tong Jia Yunrong had not finished speaking yet.
She cried even harder, her face resting lightly on Yinzhen's shoulder, her nose touching Yinzhen's neck unconsciously, looking like a little bird relying on its mother.
"Cousin, I... I feel that the princes are extremely precious, especially the Fourth Prince.
Let's just leave it at that, shall we? I'm already annoying enough in the palace anyway."
Hongli looked at Hongshi, who was scolded stupidly by Yinzhen, and pulled him to the ground with a dull sound.
It was the sound of knees hitting the ground. Hongcun looked at Hongli in confusion.
Hongli's eyes were firm, and he no longer had the timidity he had when he first faced Yinzhen.
Pointing to the sky, he said in a sonorous voice: "Father, justice is in the hearts of the people. This matter cannot be let go lightly."
Qingyun, the maidservant beside Tong Jia Yunrong, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please understand! Our queen was thrown down by that eunuch named Xiao Fuzi, who was originally a close associate of Concubine Jing.
But he was having an affair with that little palace maid, who was close to Concubine Qi.
That palace maid gave him a lot of money, it must have been Concubine Qi who ordered it."
After he finished speaking, he wiped his tears with his sleeves. Liu Hua said that he looked like a loyal servant.
Fu Cha Yi Xin had already been humiliated by Tong Jia Yun Rong last time, and was later scolded by Yin Zhen.
Thinking he had caught her, he immediately asked, "Just now, Concubine Tong insisted that it was Concubine Jing who did it? Now your maid says it was Concubine Qi who did it. Why are your statements so inconsistent?"
It would be funny if I could ask who did it.
But he didn't realize that Tong Jia Yunrong was waiting for someone to say this. In her eyes, what were Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing?
Leaving aside Yi Xu, the most important thing is to take away Zhen Huan from her Yongshou Palace.
Wuya Chenbi gave an oral order and had it passed on to Tong Mansion.
Her mother also praised her for being so lucky, but she didn't expect that she would be slapped in the face two days after entering the palace.
Tong Jia Yunrong will never forget the way Li Si'er showed off in front of his mother.
Then she said to Yinzhen in a weak and desolate voice, "I was thrown down so hard that my mind is a little confused. Cousin, please don't blame me.
It’s better to ask, for fear of wrongly accusing that sister and having her say it’s my fault.”
Yinzhen looked down at Jingpin, who was kneeling and not daring to stand up, and said in a sincere voice: "Jingpin, you said you didn't do it, so what have you been doing recently?"
Jingpin looked at Zhen Huan and said truthfully, "I never left the house. I went to visit the Queen Mother and then went to see Concubine Wan.
Your Majesty, this eunuch named Xiao Fuzi left my Xianfu Palace half a year ago.
Moreover, he lived in the eunuchs' common room. If it was really a palace maid who secretly gave him money, wouldn't she be caught by the patrolling guards immediately?
Shen Meizhuang was originally the concubine Jing, who treated her well. Now she has given herself the title of Concubine Hui. Since Liu Hua had not completely cleaned the palace, she also lives in Xianfu Palace.
At this moment, he immediately joined in, saying, "The servants in the palace are like floating duckweed, they will follow whoever has money and power.
It's not impossible that the maids around Xiao Fuzi and Concubine Jing were bribed a second time."
Qingyun kowtowed several times and cried to Yinzhen, "But that little Fuzi is now one of the eunuchs accompanying the Third Prince.
She has always been a good friend of the Third Prince and even catches crickets for him every day."
Liu Hua looked at Tong Jia, Yunrong and the others and asked softly, "What exactly does Concubine Tong mean? Could it be that Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi are teaming up to deal with you?"
Tong Jia Yunrong saw that the main point was getting further and further away, and immediately replied tactfully: "Sister Qianfei, you are joking. I wouldn't dare to think so.
Let's answer the previous questions first, such as what exactly did Jingpin do when she went to see Wanfei?
Jingpin was anxious for a moment and said this obscure thing directly, "I will give makeup guidance to Concubine Wan."
Liu Hua noticed that Tong Jia Yunrong's tone was getting noticeably impatient, and asked urgently, "What kind of makeup is this?"
It was only at this time that Concubine Jing realized something was wrong. She was called by Zhen Huan to ask about Queen Chunyuan's preferences and clothing style.
Jinxi had only seen it from afar and didn't remember it clearly, not as vividly as her own memory.
Whenever something related to Empress Chunyuan, Concubine Jing knew it was extremely terrifying and immediately stopped talking.
Tong Jia Yunrong finally found her purpose and kept insisting, "That makeup is Narcissus, right? I heard it's very good.
If Concubine Jing is currently instructing Concubine Wan on her clothing and makeup, she certainly won't be bothered to harm me. Only Concubine Qi is left. Please ask the Third Prince to make another defense."
As soon as Tong Jia Yunrong finished speaking, Yinzhen threw the green jade Buddhist beads at Zhen Huan's feet.
He asked sternly, "You are pretending, you are deceiving me, you are really... trying to imitate someone beautiful."
Zhen Huan calmly knelt down and admitted her fault, but she still refuted clearly, "Sister Tong Fei, you have only been in the palace for a day or two.
You know everything about my palace so well, you are indeed a descendant of Empress Xiaoyiren. I heard that the elders in the palace all love and respect Concubine Tong very much."
Zhen Huan had a very good grasp of Yinzhen's character and perfectly hit upon Yinzhen's sensitive and suspicious heart.
With the previous example of Nian Gengyao as a lesson, Yinzhen could not allow another Nian Gengyao to appear.
Tong Jia Yunrong did not look flustered and said to Zhen Huan word by word, "Sister Wan Fei, you are joking. What Xiao Fuzi said is true. Why should I frame her?
Besides, this is a frame-up, so why bother to make such a big mistake?
Appearance is the most important thing in the harem. If I really wanted power, how could I allow myself to be disfigured?"
Tong Jia Yunrong leaned against the tense Yinzhen, interlocked her fingers with his, and said coquettishly, "If it weren't for you, my cousin, why would I come to the palace?
Wouldn't it be better to marry someone else and become his legal wife? I love you."
