The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are being cheated Ch. 161

The food box was actually empty. It was just that the Empress asked her to come and take a look at Lin Qingqing's situation and then go back to report, so she pretended to go.

It could only be said, that Huixin was really miserable.

This Lady Lin was more ruthless than expected.

Zuiyue did not wait for the two little palace maids, she turned around and went back to Fengyi Palace to report.

Jiang Zhimiao listened to the situation in Chuxiu Palace, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

What was the situation with Lin Qingqing?

Even if she was cold by nature, shouldn't she pretend at this time?

Or was it that her mind was full of her Brother Hua, and other places were just a mess.

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but ponder.

She had read half of the plot.

She knew that Yue Hua had been secretly training spies many years ago.

As Long Aotian, Yue Hua had good luck, and he really achieved a lot.

Some women were trained by him to become top killers.

Some became the top girls in brothels.

Some became the favorite concubines of ministers, and subtly said good things to Yue Hua.

Even in the palace, many people were arranged.

Huixin was one of them.

Jiang Zhimiao's battlefield was now in the harem. Her current idea was to remove Yue Hua's spies in the harem one by one.

But except for a few supporting characters in the book, most of them were just mentioned in passing.

There was no way to know the specific information.

Jiang Zhimiao specially showed favor to Huixin, just to see if it was possible to tear a breakthrough from the known chess pieces first.

If Lin Qingqing cooperated, the possibility of success would be higher.

Of course, it didn't matter if she failed.

Anyway, she just did it casually, and didn't spend too much time on Huixin.

Even if Huixin had been brainwashed by Prince An He, she had been in the palace for several years. If everything went smoothly, she would naturally remain loyal.

What if...

What if today's incident happened many times?

Jiang Zhimiao didn't believe that she would always be willing.

"Yunxiang, is the mung bean and lily soup ready?" Jiang Zhimiao turned around and asked.

Yunxiang nodded quickly, "It has been kept in the ice bucket."

"Bring it here. I will personally deliver it to the Emperor." Jiang Zhimiao pondered that she spent so many points to get the information. Although she couldn't reveal it directly, she had to give Yue Lin some hints in a roundabout way.

In the first half of the book, a lot of Yue Hua's forces have been talked about.

Although it was not very specific, it would definitely be a lot to investigate along these clues.

Jiang Zhimiao just walked into the imperial study and was speechless.

Why, every time she came to see Yue Lin, she would encounter problems?

This time, no one knew what happened.

At noon, when the sun was at its hottest, a gray-haired old man was kneeling at the door of the imperial study.

The old man didn't seem to be afraid of death at all, and he was still shouting, "Your Majesty! Please take back your order! Minister Zhang is just a bad father, but he is loyal to the court and his ability is absolutely beyond reproach. Your Majesty wants Minister Zhang to abdicate because of a small matter. This is really not what a wise monarch does!"

"Mr. Cheng, please stop kneeling." Li Dehuai advised with a bitter face, "The Emperor has his own decision. If you continue to kneel, it will be in vain."

"The Emperor is wrong, and we, the censors, should speak out! Even if I die here today, I must ask the Emperor to take back his order."

"You..." Li Dehuai was about to continue persuading, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Zhimiao.

Li Dehuai's eyes lit up, "Empress!"

Jiang Zhimiao walked over, "Is it an unfortunate coincidence that I came today?"

Li Dehuai leaned over and lowered his voice, "At the morning court today, the Emperor demoted Zhang Dehong. It went smoothly at the time, and no one objected. The kneeling Cheng Long was the former censor. During his tenure, he was impartial and outspoken, admonishing the Emperor and the officials, and was quite famous for his straightforwardness."

"Two years ago, he retired and returned to his hometown and left the capital. Today, the Emperor demoted Zhang Dehong, and Cheng Long returned to the Capital. The first thing he did when he returned to the Cpital was to ask to see the Emperor. The Emperor always respected old ministers and received him."

"As a result, he accused the Emperor of being a tyrant who could not distinguish right from wrong. He said that conferring a princess was against the ancestral system, and that Zhang Ziping had not made any big mistakes and the Emperor punished too severely. He said that Zhang Dehong had no merits but had worked hard and should not be implicated. He scolded the Emperor for half an hour. The Emperor did not want to pay attention to him and asked someone to send him out. As a result, he knelt down at the door of the imperial study!"

"Although this man is unreasonable, he has a very good reputation in the streets. If he really kneels and dies here, the Emperor's reputation..." Li Dehuai had a bitter face and was helpless.

He had thought about having someone take the old man away directly.

However, once someone approached him, he would fight to the death.

He even threatened that if the Emperor did not listen to him, a loyal minister, he would die somewhere else even if he did not die here.

Jiang Zhimiao, "...isn't this just playing rogue?"

Li Dehuai was considered to have found a soulmate, and he hurriedly said, "Isn't it just playing rogue! But he is old and has a very good reputation. I really don't know how to deal with him for a while."

"What did His Majesty say?" Jiang Zhimiao asked.

Li Dehuai lowered his voice, "His Majesty said that the sun is strong outside, and he will faint from the heat if he kneels for a while, and then he will be thrown out directly."

Yue Lin was obviously also angry.

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but laugh, "The Emperor is talking in anger."

"If it were me, no one would not be angry if they encountered such a situation." Li Dehuai had a bitter face.

He glanced at Cheng Long, who was still yelling and cursing with full energy, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

He was in his seventies or eighties, but he looked very energetic!

Jiang Zhimiao also took a look.

Cheng Long seemed to have touched some mechanism. When he saw Jiang Zhimiao looking over, he cursed Jiang Zhimiao as well.
