Chapter 62
Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief after walking a long distance, this was the first time he was a little afraid of a girl, therefore it could be seen that being too considerate was not a good thing.
Wei Yunzhao had been in a low mood ever since he heard what Su Qiao said about the Su family. Jiang Lin was a little worried about him, "Why don't you ask for leave today and don't go to the Ministry of War?"
"I'm going," Wei Yunzhao said, "I'm afraid there will be a war in the border."
Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat. The New Year was coming soon, and the war would start at this time. This year wasn't easy, and the battle wasn't easy, especially when it was winter, there would be snow from time to time, it was difficult to march and provide food.
Internal and external troubles.
Jiang Lin became even more worried than Wei Yunzhao in an instant. He was afraid that if a war really broke out, someone would suggest to let Wei Yunzhao lead the army. The crown prince and empress would never let go of such a good opportunity to target Wei Yunzhao.
It wasn't easy to deal with Wei Yunzhao in Shengjing, however it would be much more convenient if Wei Yunzhao went to the battlefield and died like his father.
Wei Yunzhao could go to war, but not now.
Jiang Lin pushed him back, handed him over to Xun Qi, and asked Xun Qi to protect him well, then he told Wei Yunzhao, "If you have anything to do, remember to come back and discuss it with me first, don't make a decision alone, you understand?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and there was a lot of worry in his tone.
Wei Yunzhao patted his head and said yes.
However, before the news of the war in the border came, another incident occurred in Shengjing.
That day Jiang Lin went to a brothel to choose a concubine for his father. When he came back with someone, he passed by a brothel. He saw the mess inside and some people started fighting. After the fighting, someone was thrown out of the door, fell to the ground, and died on the spot.
Jiang Lin saw that the man's hand knocked on the ground and his wrist broke directly, which was exactly the same as what Chu Ba described about how Emperor Changde breaking Jiang Jinyue's hand.
The scholars got into a fight in the brothel, and two of them died. This incident was handled by Yin Ji, the acting governor of Shengjing.
After taking all the people involved in the brothel into custody, Yin Ji entered the palace first.
Yin Ji entered the palace and reported to Emperor Changde that there was a huakui in the brothel where the accident happened, and the appearance of this huakui was very similar to the meiren (one of the ranks of concubine in harem) who passed away in Fangyue Palace, except that her hands were intact. But the two scholars who were beaten to death in the brothel today had their hands broken. Yin Ji also described how the hands of the two scholars were broken.
That hand was exactly the same as how Emperor Changde broke Jiang Jinyue's hand that day.
Emperor Changde was surprised, he was sure that Jiang Jinyue had been executed by the Empress. When he woke up, he got the news immediately.
The Empress first poured poisoned wine into her mouth, then gave her a white silk to hang herself, and a sudden fire broke out, Jiang Jinyue had no chance to survive.
"Big fire..." Emperor Changde quickly felt that there was something wrong, probably because of the fire.
"Where is she now?" Emperor Changde asked Yin Ji.
Yin Ji said: "All disasters are caused by the competition for this huakui, so I also locked her in the prison of the government office. Does the emperor want to interrogate this huakui?"
Emperor Changde refused, "No need, you go and seal up the brothel immediately, and then try to find out who is behind the scene of this matter. I allow you to catch people immediately, no matter who they are, do you understand?"
Emperor Changde narrowed his eyes, his eyes were very dangerous, "I really want to see who can come and go freely in my palace, even dare to touch my concubine."
"Yes," Yin Ji cupped his hands, "I'll do it now."
Yin Ji withdrew, and Emperor Changde was still disturbed by this matter.
This year, he fell ill twice, the first time was poisoned, and the second time was for unknown reasons, which made him feel worse.
He had suspected many people, including the concubines in the harem who had been checked by the secret guards, but the result was that these people were eager to move but didn't have the courage to do anything, and the officials were also the same, therefore Emperor Changde really wanted to know who was playing tricks on him time and time again.
Emperor Changde classified his two illnesses as someone playing tricks on him, because in Emperor Changde's view, the other party could attack him without anyone noticing, and definitely had the ability to kill him directly, but the other party didn't kill him. If it wasn't playing tricks, then what?
After a while, Emperor Changde called Gan Yongfu, he said: "Go to the government prison for me, and see if that huakui is Yue (Jiang Jinyue) meiren."
"Yes, the servant is going now. Your Majesty, if she is really Yue meiren, do you want to bring her back?"
After waking up from his illness, Emperor Changde hadn't recruited any concubines, nor had he looked for a new substitute to vent his anger. When Gan Yongfu mentioned that he would bring that woman back, he had some thoughts.
"Don't worry, just get to know that person first. If it's really her, where else can my concubine go besides going back to the palace?"
"Yes," Gan Yongfu responded, and stepped back respectfully.
