Chapter 195

"It's Jiang. Don't guess," Jiang Jinwen winked at Yinyin. "I don't believe you asked my female official."

Yin Yin nodded her head gently and said, "Prince Chun's prospective princess was really my mother. But later, the master took the initiative to return the marriage."

Zhuang Youyi took a deep look at Min Jieyu. The heart is not happy, "why did you return the marriage?"

"Because we knew Prince Chun had a different heart, we made preparations in advance in order not to let him take me into prison," Jiang Jinwen smiled. There was a strange flash in the fundus of the eye. "Why, don't you like Prince Chun very much? Why don't you renew your old relationship with Prince Chun after I retire?"

"I have no old relationship with him," Zhuang Youyi said eagerly. His cheeks flushed to one side. "There is nothing between me and him."

"That's your wishful thinking," Jiang Jinwen said with a faint smile, "but you also attach importance to love and righteousness. Now you still remember the person who was locked up in the Royal Palace by the emperor, even if you become concubine Qi."

"I'm an empty shell. You don't know," Zhuang Youyi said. "Can't even think about it."

"You've admitted it," ignoring Princess Qi's unnatural look. Jiang Jinwen walked towards the side hall. "It's good to have a thought in her heart. Otherwise, the days in the palace will be hard."

"What's the matter with you," Zhuang Youyi yelled at her with a raised tone. "That's the palace of our palace. What are you doing?"

Jiang Jinwen held her hand innocently. "I know it's the empress's palace. It's next to Prince Chun's house. Don't you want to see what's in it?"

"I don't want to go with you," Zhuang Youyi pointed to the Palace door and sneered, "sorry, Linlang hasn't sent min Jieyu back to the palace."

Jiang Jinwen looked at Lin Lang who was ready to take action and said with a soft smile, "since it's the secret I found in your palace, it's better to share it together. What do you think?"

"No," Zhuang Youyi said firmly and coldly, "you'd better go back to your Zhongcui palace."

"We people here can see the thoughts of concubine Qi, and we don't have to hide them everywhere," Jiang Jinwen snorted coldly. "I really want to share this secret with you. If concubine Qi isn't so generous, I have to share it with others."

Zhuang Youyi was stunned. She was angry and looked at her angrily and startled, "dare you!"

"It's Prince Chun's residence outside. If there's anything really wrong, I can't explain it clearly," said Jiang Jinwen youyou. "My mother still satisfies my curiosity. I won't reveal a word after I leave Penglai hall."

"You..." Zhuang Youyi bit her teeth. "You are really the same as Lord Jiang."

"My mother is also very much like a general," Jiang Jinwen said with a smile. "How's my mother thinking?"

Zhuang Youyi was about to argue with her for a few more words. Suddenly, she felt someone pulling her sleeve behind her. Linlang said in a low voice, "madam, I have something to tell you."

At this time, Jiang Jinwen also felt that someone was pulling her sleeve behind her. As soon as she turned her head, she really saw Yinyin with a worried look on her face, "empress, maidservant, have something to tell you."

Jiang Jinwen frowned unhappily. "What do you have to say? I'm having a good time."

"Stop playing, madam. This is concubine Qi. Her father is general Zhuang," Yin Yin said anxiously. "You'd better go back to Zhongcui palace quickly and don't get involved with Prince Chun."

"It's boring to go back to the palace. I'm interested in finding her in Penglai palace because I know she liked Prince Chun at that time," Jiang Jinwen pushed her hand. "Don't you wonder what the crane is connected to?"

Yin Yin sighed, "what kind of punishment is it for slaves to break into concubines' palaces without authorization?"

"It's all right," Jiang Jinwen blinked. "I've bluffed her."

Linlang is also persuading imperial concubine Qi, "empress, you'd better let minjieyu in. If Prince Chun's story gets out, it's a big matter of collusion with the traitor."

Zhuang Youyi bit her lip. "I'm afraid there's really something under this mechanism. I don't want others to know about Prince Chun." she paused, "and she's still his prospective princess."

"It's all right, madam," said Lin Lang earnestly. "You know, if two people know this, another person will bear the blame for you. If min Jieyu really dares to say anything bad to the outside world, we'll drag her into the water with her female officials and kill everyone together."

Zhuang Youyi couldn't help shivering. "Is it so scary? It's not so serious."

Linlang smiled bitterly and said, "madam, Prince Chun is opposite. If the mechanism is really related to the palace, it can't be solved together."

Jiang Jinwen pushed away Yinyin's hand, who still wanted to persuade her to say a few words, and smiled at concubine Qi: "have you thought about it yet? If you drag it down, I'll have a meal in Penglai hall."

"I think so. Since you are so interested, let's go in together, but you must promise not to tell the outside world about these things," Zhuang Youyi said in a warning tone, "otherwise you know the consequences."

"Of course I know," Jiang Jinwen nodded. "You... Will you go to Huayang palace to greet you tomorrow?"

"No," Zhuang Youyi said in a low voice, "I'm afraid, like a noble imperial concubine, I still won't send it to the door."

"I won't go either," Jiang Jinwen clapped her hands and smiled. "The imperial concubine is going crazy."

The four dismissed all the bodyguards and maids in the side hall. Yin Yin and Lin Lang watched the wind at the door just in case. Zhuang Youyi and Jiang Jinwen looked for the place where the mechanism touched.

Zhuang Youyi turned the bookshelf, but she didn't want to find the mechanism. She was still not happy. "How can you have an engagement with Prince Chun?"

"Or with you?" Jiang Jinwen checked the table without raising her head. "You are the general's daughter. This engagement was given by the first emperor. How can the first emperor rest assured that Prince Chun has an alliance with the general."

"But isn't the emperor with general Mu's daughter?" Zhuang Youyi didn't give up. "She also became a queen."

"That's because general Mu is also at ease with the emperor. Do you think your father is at ease with Prince Chun," Jiang Jinwen smiled. "Even my father can see it. Do you think general Zhuang is really a rough man and can't see Prince Chun's wolf ambition?"

"What wolf ambition," Zhuang Youyi obviously doesn't support her view, "but the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If Prince Chun's rebellion was successful, you don't know which imperial concubine is not favored."

"If Prince Chun can succeed, I'll be the queen," Jiang Jinwen said helplessly, "but it's a pity that you and Prince Chun's wishes have failed. There's no way."

Zhuang Youyi looked angry and stopped talking to her.

Jiang Jinwen looked left and right. Walking around her feet, she suddenly stepped on a floor tile with different voices. She quickly bent down and knocked a few times. It was indeed a hollow brick. There must be a problem in it.

"Come here, I found it."

Zhuang Youyi hurried over and knocked on the floor like her, "it's really different. How did you find it?"

Jiang Jinwen rolled her eyes. "If you say less, you can find it."

Zhuang Youyi retorted angrily, "I always want to find out your identity. What if you have ulterior motives."

"You really think too much," said Jiang Jinwen with a malicious smile. "Aren't you still thinking about my identity as a prospective princess?"

"I don't," Zhuang Youyi pursed her lips. "What's the princess to be? Lord Jiang has already retired. You're minjieyu now."

"We are all concubines now. If only you knew."

Jiang Jinwen lifted the floor tiles with her and found that there was a narrow space below, which was empty and had nothing.

"No," Zhuang Youyi scratched her head in doubt. "Shouldn't it be a secret room or something? This idea can't be hidden by anyone."

"This should not be where the crane mechanism refers," Jiang Jinwen thought. "I clearly heard the sound of gears turning. There are no such gears under the floor tiles."

"That's another place," Zhuang Youyi stood up disappointed and continued her work. "I said it wasn't so easy to find this mechanism."

Jiang Jinwen looked at her strangely, "how could you live in such a remote place."

Zhuang Youyi looked down and told her the truth, "my father knew that Prince Chun was next to me, so he asked me to live here. Moreover, it is also clean and can be far away from your quarrels."

"Sure enough, your father really picked a good place for you," said Jiang Jinwen with a smile. "No wonder when I came in just now, I saw a ladder on the wall. Do you often climb to the roof to see Prince Chun's palace?"

"I can't see anything. It's just a relatively close geographical location."

"Alas," Jiang Jinwen suddenly moved in her heart, "do you know who lived in Penglai hall before?"

"It's the imperial concubine of the former Emperor. I don't remember which imperial concubine went."

Jiang Jinwen suddenly realized, "it must be princess Jing, Prince Chun's mother."

Chen Wanqian took a cup of freshly brewed tea and saluted the emperor, "emperor, the tea is here."

"You put it down," Meng Qianzhong still focused on the memorial in his hand. After a while, Chen Wanqian still didn't leave. "Why, what's the matter?"

"Emperor," Chen Wanqian hesitated, "did you go to Penglai hall to see empress Qi through dinner?"

"You know what she's doing here," Meng Qianzhong said without any interest. "I'll see what she does."

"At least it's also general Zhuang's daughter. The emperor still has to do this face Kung Fu. If it doesn't help," Chen Wanqian thought for a while and said, "you'll also go to Zhongcui palace to see min Jieyu."

"Min Jieyu?" Meng Qianzhong stopped his brush. "Is she well?"

"The imperial doctor said that he would soon be well, emperor, you..."

"I'd better go to see her tomorrow," Meng Qianzhong finally made a decision. "Today, I'll go to the Penglai hall to see concubine Qi, so that general Zhuang can rest assured that he can win more wars for me."

Chen Wanqian showed a gratifying smile, "emperor, you are finally willing to come out of the upper study. You don't know how much the empress of the harem misses you. You never come to the harem."

"Do you think so," Meng Qianzhong lowered his head and smiled, "I don't seem to go much to Huayang palace. I might as well go to see the imperial concubine tomorrow."

Chen Wanqian smiled and said, "Emperor... If the imperial concubine is not feeling well recently and is ill, it's important for the emperor to see min Jieyu first."

"Why are you ill again," Meng Qianzhong sighed. "I'll go to Penglai hall for dinner now and meet Jieyu in Zhongcui Palace tomorrow."
