Chapter 289 Storm (1)

The next morning, everything went as Mei Shijiu expected.

The missing dowry of Concubine Jade was discussed at court.

"Your Majesty, this is an internal matter of the royal family and should not be discussed in this hall. However, this matter is really shocking. If it spreads, it will damage the face of the royal family and attract criticism. Your Majesty, the dowry list of the Jade Concubine was circulated outside the palace last night.

"Open, when you look at the details of the dowry, the amount is indeed staggering. This is a big robbery case, and now the King of Gold is also involved. In my opinion, this matter must be investigated to get to the bottom of it."

Han Yuqian, the minister of etiquette, stood up to give his advice.

All the ministers bowed their heads. This Han Yuqian was so courageous. He did it again and again, and he was not afraid of the Holy One's anger.

They all heard about the dowry list last night. They had long heard that Concubine Jade had a large dowry. Some of them had seen the dowry being carried into the palace with their own eyes, but they were still shocked by the number on the dowry list.

Emperor Xuan didn't know about this until early in the morning, and he was so angry that he cursed on the spot.

How could the dowry list leak outside the palace?

Everyone around Concubine Yu was dead back then. Now there is only the book copied in Jiang Jing's hand. It cannot be leaked by Jiang Jing. He is not so bold yet.

Emperor Xuan's first reaction was to think of the person Mr. Jiang told him.

Appeared at the Ministry of Punishment together with that girl, and recognized the woman who had served the concubine in her dowry.

Because of this, Emperor Xuan was even more sure of what he was thinking.

Looking at the ministers in the court, Emperor Xuan slowly stood up and walked back and forth in front of the dragon chair with his hands behind his back. The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense.

"I feel sorry for Concubine Jade and the Jin family. This matter has disgraced the royal family. So many things have disappeared in the palace. I still don't know when they were lost. It's embarrassing to tell them.

!”

After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, he raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, I heard that several of Concubine Jade's dowries were found in Jingyang Palace. They were secretly hidden by a palace maid. This palace maid used to be the personal maid of King Jin. King Jin granted him a royal title, but she didn't.

Follow, but continue to stay in the palace as an errand, Your Majesty, this is suspicious in itself, maybe if you find out the source of the Jingyang Palace dowry, you can find out the missing of the Jade Concubine's dowry."

At this time, Uncle Cheng Guo spoke up. He was Doctor Guanglu, and there was nothing wrong with expressing his opinions in court.

If you can step on it, why not? Although the King of Gold is not enough to rival the King of Su.

King Su was finally able to go to court, so naturally he would not say anything at this time.

The prince also remained calm.

But Mr. Zuo, the doctor of the household department, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what Doctor Cheng and Minister Han said is true. We must investigate thoroughly. Such a dowry, converted into silver, is an astonishing amount. This thief has ulterior motives!"

After these two people finished speaking, the Minister of Rites also stood up.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be investigated as soon as possible to avoid any negative impact. The case of the Jade Concubine has not yet been investigated, and now something like this has happened. It's really... Your Majesty, maybe the missing dowry has something to do with it.

The case of Concubine Jade had a great relationship back then, and she was seeking wealth and killing her!"

That's good. As soon as these words came out, the whole court immediately went into a rage.

There was a lot of discussion.

Feng Ziheng stood silently, looking at Mei Shijiu and Emperor Xuan calmly.

He was handing a pillow to his father, and it was up to him whether he would accept it or not.

Whether it is witchcraft or dowry, these two matters concerning the Jade Concubine must be resolved as soon as possible. One is to give the Jin family an explanation, and the other is to put an end to the matter as soon as possible. After all, it is not a glorious matter.

If the father intended to let Lao Wu take the blame, why not let Lao Wu take the blame for both things?

After much thought, he felt that this might be what the Queen's grandmother meant.

Very good, King Jin has just shown his prominence, and the prince, King Su, and King Yue can no longer accommodate him. Waiting for the opportunity, the three of them stepped on him at the same time, hoping to kill King Jin immediately!

Mei Shijiu watched with cold eyes and remained silent from beginning to end, because it was not yet time and what he would do depended on the attitude of the Holy One.

Emperor Xuan's expression turned ugly when he heard the noise in the hall. He slowly sat down and glanced at the whole place.

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore. Let's slow down the dowry issue for now and deal with it one by one. Is there any progress in the case of Jiang Jing, Li Xinyuan, and the witchcraft case?"

This incident happened in the harem, and the chief steward should have been asked to cooperate with the empress or the queen mother to investigate, but Emperor Xuan directly asked the chief minister to assist the Ministry of Punishment in the investigation.

This nature is different.

As soon as Emperor Xuan spoke, the hall immediately fell silent.

The two people whose names were called hurriedly came forward. You looked at me and I looked at you. You could tell that there was no progress.

"...Your Majesty, almost all the people in the Jade Concubine's palace are gone. There is no place to inquire for a while. Since so many years have passed, it is indeed difficult to find out. It will take some time..."

Li Xinyuan replied bravely, not even daring to look at Emperor Xuan. This was a matter of the harem, and the Holy Emperor asked him to investigate. Isn't this forcing someone to do something difficult?

Moreover, it has been many years since the incident, and the people involved are all dead. How can we investigate?

"Three days! Within three days, I want you to find out about this matter!"

Emperor Xuan was obviously angry, knowing that it was impossible for them to do it, and deliberately made things difficult for them.

Li Xinyuan raised his back with a bitter look on his face and did not dare to express his anger. Jiang Jing was sweating on his forehead. Not to mention three days, thirty days may not be able to find any results.

In other words, what outcome does the Holy Spirit want from this matter?

He still hasn't figured out how to 'check'?

Just when the two were at a loss, Mei Shijiu suddenly walked out. The two were extremely grateful at the moment.

"Let me tell you, Your Majesty, to have the Ministry of Punishment investigate the witchcraft case that year is not the best choice. This happened in the harem. If the Ministry of Punishment wants to investigate the case, it will have to go in and out of the harem frequently. Firstly, it will be inconvenient, and secondly, the people in the Ministry of Punishment are not familiar with the harem.

, If Your Majesty wants to find out as soon as possible, I suggest that it might be more appropriate to ask the Queen Mother to do something about it!"

As soon as Mei Shijiu spoke, Master Mei quickly looked at his son, what is this kid doing?

The King of Gold's case isn't troublesome enough, why is he involved in this witchcraft case?

Mrs. Mei lowered her eyebrows and lowered her hands to remain silent. He believed that his grandson had his own intention in doing this.

"Let the Queen Mother investigate?"

Emperor Xuan looked at Mei Shijiu with squinted eyes. There was no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

However, Li Xinyuan was extremely happy. Mei Shijiu had told him what he wanted to say, which was a great help. If the Holy One really asked the Queen Mother to investigate, he would thank her with a big gift. This would be a hot potato.

Mei Shijiu replied seriously, "Yes, I think the Queen Mother is the most suitable candidate."

"That's all, I originally thought that my mother is old and I don't want her to do the hard work, but as Shi Jiu said, I really can only trouble her old man. It's because I didn't think carefully. It's really not very convenient to let people from the Ministry of Punishment enter and leave the harem.

Conveniently, Jiang Jing, convey my will..."

So... let the Queen Mother investigate instead?

Some people didn't react.

Damn it, does Mei Shijiu know something? Anyone can investigate this matter, just don’t let the Imperial Grandmother investigate!

Feng Ziheng wanted to stop it but was unable to do so. He never expected that as soon as Mei Shijiu opened his mouth, his father would follow his wishes and leave.

This Mei Shijiu is so terrible!
