Di Jing led the four famous arrests to conduct a thorough investigation overnight, and finally found Tian Chongyang, who was hiding from his death. The tomb robber Liu Shan who had escaped was originally caught by one of the famous arrests, Lei Feng, and was secretly detained in order to save his life.
Through the confessions of Liu Shan, Tian Chongyang, Jiao Siniang and others, many people were arrested in one fell swoop, and it was discovered that the jade flute was a bribe given to Tian Chongyang by the minister of the household department. Hidden in the tomb as a burial object, thought to be foolproof, but was stolen by the tomb thief unexpectedly.
The case shocked the entire officialdom. The embezzled money from the Ministry of Households was found out one by one, and more than 50 people were arrested and imprisoned.
The household servant was a member of the queen’s uncle’s family. Under the anger of the emperor, he thoroughly investigated the uncle’s house on the one hand, and put the queen under house arrest on the other.
The imperial concubines belonging to the queen faction are in danger, while the concubine De and Anfei are secretly gloating.
The emperor successively changed several ministerial positions and replaced them with new ones. This is another river transport project case of the emperor to combat corruption after the Yanzheng case. The minister of the household department was taken to the prison and was tried by the third division of Dali Temple overnight.
Di Jing was so busy with the case that Shangguan Yan stayed beside his parents, and the concubines in the Sixth Court of the Sangong and Sixth Court did not dare to make trouble at this time, so as not to make the emperor angry, even Concubine An. Also settled down, did not find Shangguan Yan’s ballast at this point.
But there are people who can’t get off their time, and are so impatient with their heads that this person is the Ninth Prince Si Liuyin.
When he knew that his mother concubine summoned Yan’er into the palace without telling him, he almost caused her to get on the board. He was so angry that he had been in a cold war with the mother concubine for several days. He also heard that the mother concubine refused to let him take the Yan’er as her concubine. Let her be a concubine, causing Yan’er to refuse on the spot.
After being disturbed by his mother and concubine, he finally couldn’t help himself. He wandered at the door of Shangguan’s house for many days, but he didn’t see Yan’er going out, so he went straight to find someone.
“I have something to tell you, follow me.” As soon as the Ninth Prince saw her, he said directly.
At the moment they were in the Shangguan’s hospitality hall, and Shangguan Yan answered quietly in the face of the fiery eyes of the Nine Princes. “His Royal Highness Nine has something to say here.”
“It’s not convenient here, let’s go out and find a secret place to say.” There was unstoppable passion in his low voice.
Shangguan Yan frowned slightly and walked to the side before turning around and saying, “His Royal Highness, it is really inconvenient for me to go with you at a girl’s house. If you have anything, let’s talk about it here.”
Thanks to the nine princes, Concubine An almost hit her on the board, so she didn’t have to be polite to speak to the nine princes. Anyway, the two were friends, and she didn’t have to pretend to be a lady.
“Goose…”
“His Royal Highness, there are differences between men and women. Your Highness should call me five girls.”
Seeing that her attitude was never salty or indifferent, the nine princes were anxious.
“Okay, just say it here, I ask you, the mother said that you don’t want to marry me, but because of your birth mother’s anger, that’s why you don’t want it?”
“No.”
“That’s because you don’t want to be a concubine?”
“I don’t want to be a concubine or a wife.”
“why?”
“His Royal Highness, I am used to being casual by nature, and I am not suitable for being a royal daughter-in-law.”
“But I like you.”
But I don’t like you! Saying that might irritate him and make him lose face, so Shangguan Yan just thought in his heart, and said with earnest and sincere words: “I am low in standing and I am not worthy of your Highness. Your Highness should marry Gaomenhou.”
“You don’t want to marry me, is it because the last name is Pan?”
“No.”
“really?”
“I don’t have to lie to you, I will not marry into the Pan family, nor will I marry into the palace.”
Knowing that she would not marry the surname Pan, the Ninth Prince was relieved, and he smiled when he was relieved.
Shangguan Yan asked strangely, “What are you laughing at?”
“Yan’er, I know what you care about. Don’t worry, I will definitely let you be my concubine. Since the third brother can turn his concubine into a concubine, why can’t I?”
Of course you can’t! The king of the mausoleum dared to ask the emperor for a reward of independence in marriage and marriage after he made great contributions, and he was in love with concubines, and he was in good agreement, which was different from you and me.
Of course, she still only thought about these in her heart.
“His Majesty, I have no intention of entering the mansion, please complete it and choose another good match.”
She was decisive, as if there was no room for negotiation, the nine princes ran out of patience and finally sank.
“You have to marry if you don’t want to marry. In short, I will marry you. You are waiting for my sedan chair.” After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the Shangguan.
