《Story of Kunning Palace》E8
Episode 8: The Emperor tests Xie Wei
The Ministry of Punishment reported the sinking case of the Xue family merchant ship. Emperor Long Yan angrily reprimanded Duke Ding for interfering in the water transportation.After Ding Guo Gong left, he believed that the Yan family was targeting the merchant ship, and the emperor reprimanded Ding Guo Gong in the hope that after this incident, Ding Guo Gong would not dare to interfere in the selection of the crown prince.Afterwards, the emperor blocked the punishment department's mouth with a commendation.
Dissatisfied with Jiang Xuening stealing her limelight, Xue Shu went to the Empress Dowager and asked her to meet her classmates.
The Empress Dowager summoned all the princesses to accompany her. On the way there, Jiang Xuening met Zheng Bao, the eunuch who would become the emperor's celebrity in the future, and planned to save him, which made Zheng Bao grateful.
Afterwards, when everyone saw the Empress Dowager, Xue Shu pretended to be intimate. After everyone stood up, the Empress Dowager deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Xuening and asked her to step forward alone. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuening's answer was well-founded and she was familiar with Yan Lin, so the Empress Dowager was not embarrassed..
At this time, the Queen Mother saw the jade Ruyi sent by someone under the guise of the Emperor's name. She was so angry at the words on it that she smashed it to pieces and immediately asked people to investigate. During this period, the princess companions all knelt outside and waited.
Seeing that some classmates could not hold on any longer, Jiang Xuening showed up to beg for mercy, but to no avail. Later, Xue Shu saw the emperor's figure and took the initiative to intercede, and everyone was able to get up and sit and wait.
The emperor was very angry when he saw that the empress dowager was frightened to death by Yu Ruyi. Hearing Duke Ding's doubts about Xie Wei's words, he thought it was reasonable and decided to test Xie Wei.
Xie Wei faced the temptation and knew that it was Gong Yi Cheng who did it, so he analyzed that King Pingnan deliberately caused chaos in the capital, and persuaded the emperor not to take action on the grounds of not causing unrest among the people, so as to eliminate suspicion.
While waiting with everyone, Jiang Xuening and others learned from Bao Ling that the Queen Mother was angry when she saw the Zhongyi Tomb on Yu Ruyi because King Pingnan entered the palace and found three hundred people to force the crown prince out of hiding.A little boy about the same age as the prince. Although the eldest son of the Xue family, Xue Dingfei, stepped in for the prince, King Pingnan still killed the three hundred boys, and then the princes erected a monument to those people named Zhongyi Tomb.The Queen Mother was not pitiful but angry when she saw Zhongyi Tomb, which made Jiang Xuening suspect that the story was not that simple.
Because Jiang Xuening was not good at playing the piano, Xie Wei took him to his house for teaching. When he was studying, he saw a cat picking him up.Xie Wei once saw a wild cat among the dead, so he had a shadow in his heart. Hearing the cat's meow brought back his memory again, and he subconsciously knocked the cat out of Jiang Xuening's arms, and then chased away the lesson to cover up his emotions.
Jiang Xuening was depressed by Xie Wei's changeable mood. After seeing the cat, she wanted to take the cat away, but overheard Xie Wei talking about Yu Ruyi with others, and knew that Xie Wei was related to Yu Ruyi.At this time, the cat suddenly meowed, and Xie Wei noticed that he had a dagger pressed against Jiang Xuening's neck.
