Looking at the things recorded in this account book, Gao Mingyao even marked things he liked. One can imagine how proud he was when facing these things late at night.
This date actually started in the second year after he participated in the heir apparent. In other words, Gao Mingyao's ambition was not to be a powerful minister, but to have his own position.
The emperor read page after page, and there was no mistake at all. But even so, when the sky was slightly bright, he didn't finish it.
Looking at the sun rising in the east, the morning light entered his study room through the white paper window and shone right on his desk. He put away the account book and there was no need to look at it anymore.
Gao Mingyao's ambition has been revealed to the emperor. This crime should be punished, including the ten clans and people related to it.
But when the emperor thought of Concubine Jade, he suddenly sneered. These days, he didn't even have the slightest doubt that Concubine Yu had an affair with him.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with Gao Mingyao?" Gu Zhao asked.
"All of them will be put into prison and awaiting retribution." The emperor said calmly.
He must die, but he must die in the most humiliating way, and let Concubine Yu see how Gao Mingyao died in humiliation.
When it was time to go to court, the emperor did not go. The officials in the previous court were talking a lot, and they were frightened about what happened to the Gao family last night. They didn't know what happened. Officials who were close to the Gao family, and even his subordinates, a A trembling person, already worried that the sky would fall.
The emperor sent someone to announce that Concubine Yu was here, but the palace officials came to tell her that Concubine Yu had fainted in the Ronghua Palace last night and had not yet woken up.
The emperor hummed, stopped talking, stood up slowly, and went to sleep.
Jin Xin was also a little worried in the palace. After all, she could be considered the mastermind of what happened last night. The emperor naturally knew that she was involved and had thought of an explanation, but he still couldn't wait for the emperor to come.
Early in the morning, Jin Xin watched Hong'er walking slowly in the palace and felt a little uneasy. She sent someone to inquire and found out that the emperor didn't sleep last night. The affairs of the Gao family made him very angry, so he went to bed this morning.
Jin Xin felt a little more at ease.
The second princess was brought in. Jin Xin asked them to carry her over and took a look. Not to mention, although the child was born more than seven months ago, although she looked wrinkled and a bit ugly, her complexion looked okay.
"How is the second princess breastfeeding?" Jin Xin asked the wet nurse.
"My strength is not bad, and I can eat well, but I just look a little weak."
Cui Gu has also seen it. There is nothing wrong with the child, but it is a little difficult to breathe. If he is carefully raised and raised for a few months, there will be nothing wrong with him.
Jin Xin sighed and said, "Her mother and concubine didn't even intend to have her. If you hadn't made her cry in time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have had the chance to drink the milk."
Cuigu also sighed, "Fortunately, they were in a hurry to take him out and didn't delay too long. If we had left him alone, we would have let this child die like this. I really have no choice."
"Looking at this child, he is really lucky. I wonder how the emperor will arrange it." Jin Xin said with a smile.
"Will the emperor leave the princess in the cold palace because of the matter of the concubine?" Lianrong asked nervously.
Hearing this, Jin Xin thought for a while, thinking about the emperor's character, and shook her head in denial, "Although the concubine Yue was at fault, the princess is not at fault. There are not many children in the palace. No matter how angry the emperor is, he will not let the princess die on her own. ."
It just depends on who raises it.
Jin Xin went through a circle in her mind, and it seemed that there was no suitable person. There were many concubines in the palace, and those concubines were promoted to concubines when they got pregnant. However, none of them had the chance to get pregnant. Willing to raise other people's children.
Jin Xin immediately thought of someone, and Lan Bin was a good candidate. She was a quiet person and didn't like to fight for anything. If she had a child, she could make the emperor pay more attention to her.
"Go and send a message to Lan Bin so that she can come and sit here in this palace." Jin Xin said to Lianrong.
Not long after, Lan Bin arrived.
But when she heard that Jin Xin suggested that she adopt the second princess, she retreated a little.
"I have never been a mother, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to raise her well. Besides, the whole palace knows what happened last night. When the emperor sees the princess, he will definitely think of what her mother did. Doesn't it involve the concubine?"
"The concubine is the concubine, and the princess is the princess. After the concubine is given away, the princess will naturally have to be raised by someone. Now I am raising the eldest prince, and I am pregnant. The emperor will not let me raise this child. But if this child is If you give it to other concubines, wouldn’t you have nothing to rely on?”
Jin Xin also regards her as one of her own, and naturally hopes that Lan Bin can have someone to rely on. It is better to have a princess than not to have a princess. If there is a child, the emperor will go to her palace to sit more, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Hearing this, Concubine Lan nodded immediately, "Concubine, thank you for your advice. I will definitely fight for it from the Emperor."
Jin Xin nodded happily, she understood, she was a smart person.
"I will also recommend you to the emperor. You have to be prepared. At least these days, you will often come here to see the princess and let the emperor see your sincerity." Jin Xin said with a smile.
Lan Bin stood up and saluted gratefully.
At this time, it was already noon, and the princess suddenly burst into tears. Jin Xin was startled and asked quickly, "What's going on? What's wrong with the princess?"
"This slave doesn't know. She was sleeping soundly and suddenly she burst into tears."
Jin Xin frowned and then remembered that at noon today, it was the time when the concubine Yue was executed with poisonous wine.
Sure enough, after a while, the palace people outside came back and said that the concubine Yue had taken poisonous wine and died in the Ronghua Palace.
After hearing this, Jin Xin felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She looked at the princess beside her who was crying loudly instead of crying softly. She frowned, her eyebrows were gloomy, and she felt guilty towards the princess.
Thinking of Hong'er, if she didn't have her mother, she would be pitiful after all, and her tears immediately fell down. She walked back to the soft couch, her eyes a little red.
After sending everyone out, she wanted to be alone for a while and began to think about whether what she did was considered a sin.
She raised her hands and looked at her hands. She was actually a little scared, afraid that she would lose her true heart and become an unscrupulous person.
But if she is not ruthless, she will be stepped on by others. Fighting like this without end, she is really afraid of herself and will become murderous.
Sighing, she didn't know how to get out of this mood.
At this time, Huang Wanshun's voice came from outside, "My Lady, please go to the Imperial Study Room to see the Emperor. The Emperor is very angry and we can't get in."
Jin Xin frowned, wasn't the matter settled last night? Why was he angry again?
"Why is the emperor angry?" Jin Xin asked.
"The emperor just announced that Concubine Jade had entered the royal study. He closed the door and kept no one waiting. The sound of smashing things was heard inside. Concubine Yu was crying inside. The servants did not dare to enter without permission. Can you go and have a look?" Huang Wanshun said anxiously.
When Jin Xin heard this, her gloomy mood immediately dissipated, and she was still a little excited. She wanted to take a look.
