Chapter 278
"Shi Jiu, what's going on? I heard something happened. How come the King of Gold is involved?"
"After King Jin moved out of Jingyang Palace, Jingyang Palace did not change its owner. Concubine Jade's dowry leaked out of Jingyang Palace. Naturally, King Jin could not escape his involvement!"
Mei Shijiu was anxious to return to Mei Mansion because he knew his family would be anxious after hearing the news.
Now, he and King Jin have been tied together for a long time. If something happens to King Jin, his life will not be easy, and it will even involve the Mei family.
When Master Mei heard what her son said, she couldn't hide her anxious expression and said with luck, "...Although the things were leaked out of Jingyang Palace, King Jin has moved out after all. The Holy Lord summoned him to the palace, so it shouldn't happen for the time being."
If something happens, the most I can do is ask..."
Mrs. Mei was not so optimistic, "Since we are here for King Jin, Jingyang Palace must have already planned it. I'm afraid King Jin won't be able to escape so easily this time. Shi Jiu, what are your... plans?"
"Grandpa, dad, please don't worry. This matter is aimed at King Jin, but King Jin is not as simple as they thought. It is not appropriate to be quiet at this time. You must first see clearly who moved it before you know how to move it.
.”
Mei Shi thought about it all the way back in Chapter 9, and probably had a plan in mind.
This matter went around and around for two purposes, either for the sake of the Jade Concubine, or because someone wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the Golden King as soon as possible.
He has sent people to keep an eye on the activities in the palaces. The Crown Prince and King Su will not enter the palace at this moment, but they will certainly not stand idly by. After all, they are all involved. The King of Yue is the most suspicious among the rest, but this matter is also
It doesn’t look like the handiwork of the King of Yue…
"I don't know what's going on in the palace right now. There's no news yet..." Master Mei couldn't sit still.
"Just wait a minute!"
If there is any news in the palace, they will know it soon. Mei Shijiu has already been thinking about it silently in his heart. Although he cannot wait for the news in a hurry, he must seize the time to prepare for a rainy day and think of some ways to deal with it first.
Regarding this matter, both the Prince's Mansion and Prince Su's Mansion were very lively.
The prince was gathering his disciples for a heated discussion, and even the queen sent someone to quietly leave the palace to ventilate and discuss how to bite King Su.
The atmosphere in Prince Su's Mansion was relatively dull, after all, the incident took place in the Jingui Building of the Lu family.
Uncle Cheng Guo was under a certain amount of pressure, and King Su was not in a good mood at the moment.
After losing one after another, he saw that Emperor Xuan did not love him as much as before, but this happened at this time.
"Your Majesty, my brother-in-law is indeed confused about this matter, but he understands that this is a calculation..."
"Yeah, it's just a conspiracy. Why don't you plot against other families? For a fool like Lu Panda, the Lu family still lets him take charge. He doesn't have any brains. Fortunately, this time he is targeting Lao Wu, otherwise... I will be harmed by him.
die!"
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Uncle Cheng Guo's forehead. He raised his sleeve to wipe it and whispered: "My lord, are you saying that this is a trap for King Jin? Then...who did it?"
"Who did it? I also want to know who did it. Although it is not directed at me, the Jingui Building that the Lu family managed to break up has been destroyed. It will definitely not be able to be opened anymore. I also voted for it.
I wanted to add some money to my account, but there are many places to spend money later..."
King Su said as he glanced at Uncle Cheng Guo, the meaning in his eyes was too obvious.
Uncle Cheng Guo understood the idea and hurriedly raised his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Lu family has long said that if you want to spend money, just talk."
Upon hearing this, King Su's face obviously improved a lot, and he sighed and said: "My uncle said this, and I have confidence in my heart. The Lu family is also an old family, and they started doing various businesses in the early years.
They are regarded as royal merchants, not to mention the procurement by local governments... they are the materials needed by the imperial court... The Lu family has been in charge of these years, so there will naturally be no shortage of money. Uncle, I want to go further and spend a lot of money.
There are many, so my uncle just told the Lu family to reassure them that as long as I am here, the Lu family’s business will flourish.”
"That's natural. With the prince and the empress taking care of you, the Lu family will definitely be rich! Your prince, since the matter of the Jade Concubine's dowry is directed at the King of Gold, should we just wait and see what happens or..." Adding insult to injury?
King Su narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when someone came to announce that it was Shangshu Yun who was here.
King Su hurriedly invited him.
Now Su Wang
The relationship between the government and the Yun family is different. Yun Chushu is King Su's unmarried concubine. This is a marriage. King Su's future is also related to Yun Shangde's future. Yun Shangde has no way out, so he can only stay in Su.
Wang will go all the way on this path, so now, he is also trying his best to help King Su.
And if Emperor Xuan would agree to this marriage, wouldn't it mean that he was subsidizing King Su's recent loss of power in the court?
Doesn’t this mean that the Ministry of War was secretly handed over to King Su?
"The humble minister pays his respects to the prince!"
"Master Yun, please forgive me. You said you don't need to be so particular when there are no outsiders. Master Yun is here now, but it's about the dowry of the jade concubine?"
King Su also seemed to be close to him. He had no choice but to hold on to the military department.
Yun Shangde sat down and assumed the posture of a close minister. He greeted Uncle Cheng Guo and went straight to the topic.
"Your Majesty, my uncle, I have come here just for this matter. Your Majesty, let's not get involved in this matter at this time. Although the incident happened in Jingui Tower, I understand now that someone picked up Jingui Tower to cause trouble. Lu
The family is also a victim. If you don’t do anything now, the prince is the aggrieved party, waiting to see how the situation develops!"
"This is exactly what I think. In my opinion, Lord Evian, who is most likely to have done this...?"
King Su asked tentatively, not expecting to hear any special insights.
This time he wasn't even sure who did it.
"Your Majesty, no matter who did it, this thing is weird. Your Majesty, I heard that the one who was taken to the Ministry of Justice for questioning today was also...that girl Chuxue, this girl...is relatively close to King Jin. I heard that...
She just returned to the capital yesterday. She had gone on a study tour with the old man and the old gentleman. It was such a coincidence that this person came back... When she entered the Jingui Building, she was identified on the spot as the one who recognized the Jade Concubine's dowry. The prince, targeting Jin Wang Shangneng
I understand, but who would deliberately have trouble with that girl? Besides... I came here today just to talk about this girl..."
There are some things that he can't find out. Maybe King Su and Concubine Duan can find out something.
"That girl...I have remembered it. Master Yun, is there something weird about this girl? Speaking of this girl, there is something...I also want to tell Master Yun about this matter. I couldn't speak frankly about it before.
now…"
King Su then told about the previous dowry and Cheng Si's suspicion about Chu Xue, and then stared directly at Yun Shangde.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shangde quickly waved his hands and explained, "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing. I never let her go to Jinxiufang, let alone know about these things. I don't even know what happened to that girl with Mei Shijiu and Jin Wangshi."
We know each other. By the way, Your Majesty, I just want to talk about this matter today. I am suspicious... I am suspicious of that girl's life experience!"
"Doubt her life experience? She was not brought into the Yun Mansion..." King Su raised his eyebrows with confusion on his face.
"Yes, she was held tightly in the Yun Mansion. Your Majesty, I suspect that...she might...come from the palace..."
Yun Shangde was just guessing, it was some inference without evidence, so he didn't dare to speak too harshly.
