MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 36

Those cherry-like lips are already close in front of your eyes, you only need to lower your head a little, and you can touch them.

Who would have heard her say that at this time.

Yu Wenlan was taken aback immediately, and said, "What?"

Yan Shu said again, "That's right, if someone associates the concubine with Young Master Xiaoyao in the past few days, please help the concubine to block it, Your Majesty."

Yu Wenlan frowned and asked her again, "Why would someone associate you with Young Master Xiaoyao?"

Did something happen that he didn't know about?

Sure enough, she coughed and said, "It's just... a while ago, my concubine discovered that someone had quietly stolen the waste paper thrown out of the concubine's palace. I guess they wanted to find out what the concubine was writing."

Yu Wenlan frowned again and said, "Someone stole your waste paper? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yan Shu thought to herself, how fun is it to say earlier?

If she had said it earlier, at most he would have sent someone to catch the minion who grabbed the waste paper.

However, even if it can be found out that the person is from the palace of Concubine An, Concubine An can still be cleared of the suspicion without knowing it. After all, stealing some garbage in the palace is not a felony.

How could it compare to what it is like now, messing up the opponent's camp first, and then seeing the opponent flustered, doubting life, and crumbling belief?

Of course, with Anpin's mind, after reading the small material she deliberately released before, and seeing the official masterpiece today, it is very likely that she will be linked with Young Master Xiaoyao.

She was not afraid of what would happen to An Bin, she just wanted to make preparations with the emperor first.

After all, as she writes more and more in the notebook, it will inevitably attract more speculations. Only the identity of the emperor can perfectly quell all kinds of doubts and make people convincing without temper.

Hehe, fortunately, I have long thought of a man's pseudonym, so it is more suitable for the emperor to use.

Yu Wenlan who was listening silently, "???"

The co-author has already dug a hole to wait for him?

But in front of her, she made an excuse as if nothing happened, "Because the concubine doesn't know who the one who stole the trash is, so there's nothing I can do if I want to report to His Majesty."

Yu Wenlan snorted, "Then why do you think of telling me now?"

Yan Shu said with peace of mind, "It's because His Majesty said that he will protect the concubine. Didn't the concubine just tell you?"

[Where are so many nonsense, anyway, now is the time to use you, anyway, half of your idea is in the book, so you have to take care of it! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Are you so confident about relying on others?

However, it was rare for her to beg herself once. Besides, if you don't help your own woman, who will help?

So he said, "Of course I keep my word, and you should come to me earlier about this matter. But it's getting late now, so we can arrange it tomorrow morning."

Yan Shu hurriedly replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

[Tomorrow morning is not too late, I guess that Concubine An and her natal family will definitely not be able to sleep tonight hehe...]

Just when Mimi was happy, Yu Wenlan pulled her into his arms and said, "I am right in front of you, don't think about messy things."

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, then said firmly, "I don't have any concubines..."

Before he could finish speaking, his lower back was lightly pinched.

Yan Shu was shocked, but saw him raise her eyebrows and said, "The price of lying."

Yan Shu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "This concubine dare not..."

Tsk, why does this person seem to have mind reading skills...

However, the idea just came up, but was drowned in a kiss.

~~

Just as Yan Shu expected, the Minister of Rites' Mansion was brightly lit tonight.

And in Lanlin Hall, An Pin didn't close her eyes almost all night.

Anpin thought a lot—

The story about grandfather and second aunt is probably true. Maybe Achang really is the flesh and blood of the two of them...

Although she extremely didn't want to face it, it was already a fact.

The most important thing now is—what happened to Li Yanshu's waste paper?

Also, what is the relationship between her and Young Master Xiaoyao?

Why does her waste paper and Mr. Xiaoyao's book say the same thing?

Why both of them knew the grandfather's secret! !

The more she thought about these things, the more she shuddered.

Could it be... Li Yanshu is actually Young Master Xiaoyao?

But how could she have such ability to know the secrets of so many ministers?

After tossing and turning for a while, she finally got up from the tent and called Liudi, saying, "Go and tell Shuangxi to wait outside Ganlu Hall now, and don't miss anything thrown out of it, show me everything. "

Liu Di answered in a hurry, and hurried out to spread the message.

Shuangxi could only rush to the outside of Ganlu Hall.

It was hard to wait from early morning until dawn, and then from dawn until three poles in the sun, before I finally saw someone coming out of Ganlu Palace with a wastebasket.

He immediately followed quietly, and when the other party finished dumping the garbage in the wastebasket, he hurriedly picked it up and ran to Lanlin Hall in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, he didn't take a few steps, but suddenly a few people rushed out from the side of the road and shouted to him, "Stop! What are you doing so sneakily?"

Shuangxi was startled, and quickly looked up, only to find that it was Yao Shun, the chief inspector of the inner court.

The inner court supervisor is a place that cannibalize people without spit out their bones. Shuangxi immediately said in a panic, "No, I didn't do anything..."

However, before he finished speaking, the other party had already grabbed him in his hand, and began to search him without saying a word.

The waste paper he hid suddenly poured down.

But seeing Yao Shun pick up a piece of paper and look at it, he suddenly frowned and said, "How dare you steal His Majesty's handwriting? Catch him and torture him!"

…

Concubine An stayed up all night, and at dawn, she waited for the news from her natal family, saying that her grandfather was still unable to get out of bed, and he had invited several doctors who said it was a stroke.

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Once grandfather had a stroke, it would be tantamount to saying goodbye to the officialdom, and it would be difficult for the Song family to find a way out in the future.

However, before she could come up with a good solution, the maid Meixue hurriedly came to report again, "It's not good, master, Shuangxi asked the inner court supervisor to arrest her!"

"what?"

Anpin was shocked.

— You know, even if Shuangxi was seen picking up garbage in the Manna Palace, it would not be a big crime. People in this palace often pick up leftovers, leftovers, rags and the like.

How could the inner court supervisor be involved?

But Mei Xue said, "It turns out that the trash he picked up in Ganlu Palace contained His Majesty's handwriting."

His Majesty's handwriting?

An Pin was startled, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

However, at this moment, Fu Hai came to the palace and said with a serious face, "Your Majesty is in Ci'an Palace, please go over and ask your majesty."

…

An Pin walked all the way, thinking in her heart, why did His Majesty's handwriting appear in the wastebasket again?

She suddenly felt vaguely that Li Yanshu was planning to seduce her from the beginning of this matter.

After coming all the way to Ci'an Palace, they saw Li Yanshu besides the Empress Dowager and King, besides that, Yao Shun, the chief inspector of the inner court.

After she bowed to the Empress Dowager, she listened to Yao Shun's words, "Just now, the slaves caught a young **** outside the Ganlu Hall, sneakily trying to steal His Majesty's handwriting. After investigation, it was someone from the Lanlin Hall. Dare to ask Mrs. An, But you sent him?"

Concubine An hurriedly said, "I just found out about this, please Your Majesty, my concubine doesn't know about it."

After finishing speaking, Yao Shun waved to the side, and saw someone dragging a man with a bruised nose and swollen face covered with blood, it was none other than Shuangxi.

Concubine An was startled, but insisted, "This is indeed a slave in the palace of my concubine, but my concubine doesn't know why he is like this, and this is definitely not my concubine's instigation."

At any rate, after staying in the palace for so long, she knew that as long as she did not plead guilty and Shuangxi did not confess, no one would be able to place the blame on her.

The voice fell, but the king said, "Drag it on and continue to torture."

Yao Shun agreed, and asked someone to drag Shuangxi down.

An Bin's face was calm, but her heart was already very nervous.

Stealing garbage is a small matter, but stealing His Majesty's handwriting is a serious crime.

Once it is stained, it is not an exaggeration to kill the head.

At this moment, the king said again, "Even if you didn't instigate it, you are still in your palace."

Concubine An hurriedly knelt down and lowered her head, "It's the concubine who failed to discipline the palace people. It is indeed the concubine's dereliction of duty. Please forgive me."

Yu Wenlan looked at the queen mother again, and said, "This is not a trivial matter. If it is bypassed, I don't know how many people in the harem will follow suit. Once it is spread, it will be a joke."

The queen mother could only nod her head and said, "That's true."

Yu Wenlan then turned to An Pin again, "You don't have to worry about the Internal Affairs Bureau. Before the truth comes to light, you should be grounded in the palace and not come out again."

Anpin's heart tightened.

Once grounded, she will no longer be able to help with grandfather's affairs!

However, at this time, she herself is also in danger.

She could only kneel down and reply, "The concubine obeys."

Then he got up and left Ci'an Palace.

—The current plan is to wait for Shuangxi to shoulder the crime by herself, and once he dies, she will be cleared of the suspicion.

It's just Li Yanshu's matter, but how to investigate further?

Behind him, the Queen Mother suddenly said, "This little **** picked up garbage in the harem, how did he steal His Majesty's handwriting?"

Yu Wenlan said without changing his face, "I don't think Yipin's handwriting is good. I'm asking her to practice calligraphy for a while. Sometimes there is no copybook. I will write something by myself and call her copying. It is probably because the Ganlu Palace paper is used a lot recently. , so that those who have a heart move their minds."

The Empress Dowager understood and didn't say anything more.

After all, she gave An Bin the job of assisting the Internal Affairs Bureau, and she didn't expect something to happen so soon.

Didn't the emperor put the scene in her palace today just to make her speechless?

Also an idiot, that's all.

But he nodded and said, "This is a good habit."

Yu Wenlan hummed, then suddenly said, "I heard that the Minister of Rites is ill."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Yes, Concubine An just came to ask for Ai's family's wishes yesterday, and called the imperial doctor to see the doctor. Later, the imperial doctor came to report to Ai's family that Minister of Rites had suffered a stroke. Poor thing, this disease But it’s troublesome, some people suffer.”

Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "Anyway, I'm an old minister, I should ask someone to go and have a look."

Everyone in Ci'an Palace heard it, and they all thought that he was taking the initiative to repair the relationship with the Queen Mother.

After all, the Minister of Rites belonged to the Empress Dowager, and the king sent someone to condolences, wouldn't it be the same as the face of the Empress Dowager?

The Queen Mother didn't think much about it, she just nodded and said, "It's his honor that His Majesty is so considerate."

~~

Not long after, Yan Shu followed Yu Wenlan and left Ci'an Palace.

Fortunately, she returned to the imperial chariot, and while there was no one around, she hurriedly asked Yu Wenlan, "When does His Majesty plan to send someone to the Song family?"

Yu Wenlan said, "I'll talk about it after I figure out how to staff, what's the matter?"

Yan Shu said, "It's nothing, the concubine is just thinking that the Song family is probably busy recently, and His Majesty's people must go at the right time."

【Tsk, this time has to be seized, it's best to catch up with the mess in their mansion, and watch the excitement all at once! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

That said, as if she could go.

Unexpectedly, she heard a sigh of regret in her heart, 【It would be great if I could go. 】

—After catching **** on the main road last time, she found that eating melons on the spot is different.

For example, if he didn't follow Zhao Chengwen, how would he know that the son-in-law of the eldest princess would not last long?

So if you can go to the scene to eat, you still have to go to the scene, the details are also very important!

Unbeknownst to him, the man beside him was twitching uncontrollably, and hurriedly said, "I will call a trustworthy minister sometime, don't worry. Go back and think about what you said."

Tsk, girl, why don't you last long!

~~

Minister of Rites.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang has been imprisoned for a day, the anger in her body has not yet been vented. Throwing bowls and kicking tables and chairs, still clamoring to go out.

After a lot of commotion, a woman in charge finally came and said to her outside the door, "Second Madam, the Eldest Master has already spoken, it is you who made the Grand Master such a mess, and you should stay in the room until the Grand Master gets better." , don’t even think about coming out again.”

Immediately Yang scolded, "You guys really know how to put **** on people's heads! Bullying me is honest, bullying no one to make decisions for me, right? Be careful if you are in a hurry, you will die and the net will be broken!!"

At this time, in the front yard, the eldest son of the Song family and his wife had just received a letter from the palace, saying that Tao was their only hope at the moment, and their daughter Concubine An was also grounded.

The husband and wife were shocked and wanted to ask the reason, but the person who came to deliver the letter just dropped a word and left.

Just when the husband and wife were anxious like ants on a hot pot, the second room Yang's yelling and cursing came from next to his ears.

Tian scolded, "This ignorant thing doesn't think the house is messy enough? I really want to sew her mouth on!"

After finishing speaking, her husband, Song Yuankui, paused for a moment, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Then don't tell her to yell again."

~~

Yang made a fuss until the evening, and finally got tired.

It happened that dinner was delivered from outside, and she was about to eat it, but suddenly a servant came into the room and said, "Second madam, wait a minute, be careful that the food is poisonous.",

She was startled, and immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, but looked at the other party in doubt, and said, "How do you know?"

The servant didn't answer her, just took a little rice and vegetables and threw them into the fish basin in the room, in an instant, all the fish in the fish basin turned their bellies upside down.

Yang was shocked, and immediately said angrily, "Okay! They dared to kill people! I'll go out and judge with them!"

But the young man stopped her, "Second Madam, calm down, they are going to put you to death, if you go out now, you will scare the snake, and when they come hard, how can you escape?"

Only then did Yang wake up, and said with a look of fear, "Then what should I do, am I waiting to die here?"

But the other party asked her, "Second Madam, do you know why they want to harm you?"

Yang's heart felt guilty, and he hesitated, "They are probably afraid that something will happen to the grandfather, and the second wife will compete with them for the family property..."

The young man smiled and said, "You should know in your heart that it's okay to talk differently, but now there is only one chance to save you."

Yang quickly asked, "What chance?"

The other party said, "Your Majesty sent a few adults to visit the grandfather, and you are about to arrive at the mansion. This is your only chance to ask for help. If you miss it, even the gods will not be able to save you."

Yang Shi was startled, frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded.

Not long after, the special envoy sent by the king arrived at Song Mansion.

The visitor didn't say hello, Song Yuankui, the great master of the Song Mansion, could only rush out to greet him.

When he saw people, he was surprised to find that there were three special envoys—

They are Li Hongsheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Ji Wenchi, the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Households. There is also Xun Fei, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

Song Yuankui paused in his heart,

This battle was really unexpected.

The other two were considered important court officials at the same level as his father, but the Commander of Jin Yiwei... what happened?

Although he was puzzled, he still welcomed the three of them to the mansion first.

The three of them naturally went to look at the Minister of Rites first.

But seeing that he was unable to speak or move and could only lie on the bed, he had no choice but to express the king's condolences, and then came out.

Song Yuankui accompanied him all the way, but he heard from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, "Master Song's body and bones have always been quite healthy, and I didn't hear of any discomfort a few days ago. How did this suddenly happen?"

Song Yuankui could only say, "It's probably because the chores at home have been too complicated recently, and us juniors have also neglected to care for our father... After all, it's not good to be lowly."

Those three people didn't say anything more, they only comforted him a few words, and then they were about to leave.

Song Yuankui sent several people out.

However, just outside the door, there was a burst of violent wailing, a woman with disheveled hair rushed up to them and cried, "Please help me, my lords, the Song family is going to kill people!"

…

On the second day, a piece of news shocked the people inside and outside the court, making the people of the whole city dumbfounded.

——Song Zhiyun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is morally corrupt, disregarding human relations, and even occupied and bullied his daughter-in-law for nearly twenty years.

After the shock, no one from the officials to the people cast aside this person from top to bottom.

But then, there was another jaw-dropping news——

It turns out that even the son born to his second daughter-in-law Yang is also the old man's flesh and blood.

Song Yunchang, the son of the second room of the Song family, is named his grandson, but he is actually his son.

The crowd no longer knew what to say, they could only cast aside and shake their heads, calling the old man ridiculous.

—Actually, Yang did not mention his son.

But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, her weak husband, Song Yuanwei, who was panting while walking, stood up by himself and pointed out that the son was not his.

It turned out that Song Yuanwei already knew everything.

After getting married that year, he only had **** with Yang twice, and each time did not match the child's later birth date.

Because of this, he has been depressed all year round, which made his condition worse, but he didn't have the courage to break free from the shackles of family affection, so he could only numb himself and let the two of them do whatever they wanted.

Until a few days ago, I saw the new work of Young Master Xiaoyao.

Only then did he realize that there might be another possibility in his life.

As soon as this matter was exposed, the king immediately removed all the official titles and honors of the old man Song Zhiyun, and demoted him to a commoner.

Immediately afterwards, his eldest son, Song Yuankui, who was Anpin's biological father, was also removed from his post and held accountable for crimes such as attempted murder and openly oppressing civilians.

And Concubine An was also removed from her position because she instigated the palace servants to steal the king's handwriting, and was sent to Yuzhen Palace, where criminal women of the royal family were detained, and never saw the light of day again.

Fortunately, the king clearly rewarded and punished him, thinking that Song Yuanwei, the second son of the Song family, was the victim, and he had the courage to expose his father's evil deeds, so that he would not be implicated by his family.

After Song Yuanwei thanked him, he packed his bags and left the capital, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Maybe, he can really realize the ending in the script.

~~

Even though the curtain has come to an end, this matter is still discussed in the streets and alleys outside the palace and by people for a long time after dinner.

Liandong also sighed with Yan Shu when she had nothing to do and chatted, "I never thought that the richer the family, the more they can hide the dirt. Look who is in this family? Fortunately, the second master of the Song family After leaving the capital, how will I live if I stay here?"

"But then again, where did Yang's wife go?"

Yan Shu ate the melon seeds and said, "Didn't you go to serve the old man? Anyway, the two of you have been married long ago, and the Song family has no one left. She doesn't care who cares? Her son belongs to the old man, so it's for the old man." Let the old man die."

Thinking of this, Liandong couldn't help but say, "It's disgusting, and they deserve to be disgusted by themselves in the end."

As he spoke, he asked her curiously, "Master, why haven't you written a script for the past two days?"

Yan Shu sighed, "I'm tired, I want to take a rest."

— Cough, she is actually avoiding the limelight.

This time, "The Big Man Stands Up" once again mentioned the matter of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, which aroused shock from the outside world, and once again speculated about her identity.

Some people even say that she is a fairy who came to the world to punish the wicked.

Of course, there are also smart people who speculate that her identity is unusual——

So defying power and daring to expose officials' scandals, and what he said so accurately, it is very likely that they are His Majesty's cronies, important officials in the DPRK and the like.

Anyway...she needs to cool down.

It's better to ask the common people to put their enthusiasm into production and life first, and it's not good to read Chinese scripts all day long.

Take it easy, take it easy.

Of course, the most important thing is that the book she wrote recently is not suitable for publication.

For example, when writing about the son-in-law Zhao Chengwen, since the emperor hasn't told the eldest princess, he must have his plan. If she hastily published the script and let the eldest princess know about her being cuckolded, it would be bad if it caused bloodshed.

There are still a few books in stock, but they are all tinged with color, and the emperor doesn't allow it.

It's really boring.

While she was nibbling melon seeds, she was thinking about what to write, when Lian Xin came in to report, "Master, the Empress Dowager has passed an order saying that Ci'an Palace has made some cakes, please go and taste them."

Yan Shu was taken aback, the queen mother asked him to have some snacks?

Tsk, what kind of medicine is this selling again?

Of course she couldn't refuse, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and went to Ci'an Palace.

When they got there, they found out that the emperor was also there, wearing a dark blue tuanlong robe, listening to the queen mother.

"The Ai family really got it wrong. I thought it was a lady from a famous family, knowledgeable and reasonable, but I didn't expect that a famous family is not a famous family, and people also have vicious thoughts. They are really gangsters and filthy."

Yan Shu realized that the Empress Dowager was talking about Concubine An.

Tsk, actually thinking about it, the Queen Mother is also quite tired.

— Seeing that my niece couldn't support the wall, I finally found someone with a bit of IQ, but I didn't expect the family to be so unsatisfactory.

But Yu Wenlan said, "This matter is their fault, and has nothing to do with the queen mother."

The Queen Mother hummed, and then turned her gaze to Yanshu, and said, "Sit down quickly, today Ai's family asked them to make some taro cakes and double bean cakes. I heard that you like them, so I asked you to try them."

Yan Shu bowed her knees and saluted, "My concubine thanks the Queen Mother for her care."

He sat down beside him.

The palace man brought refreshments, which looked good.

Although Yan Shu was a bit greedy, she still knew what to expect, and knew that the Queen Mother didn't just want to treat her to snacks.

However, this still has to be done.

So she took a piece of double bean cake.

Before it was put into the mouth, the Queen Mother said, "By the way, I heard that there is a very good writer of Chinese script on the market recently. What seems to be his name...Young Master? It is said that what he wrote is exactly the same as the real thing, even Xie Pei The matter with the Song family has been taken seriously by him, and I don't know who has such a great ability, so how can he be able to predict or not?"

Yan Shu was taken aback for a moment, and her heart really came.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the emperor is here today.

It's time for him to play.

Sure enough, Yu Wenlan and the Queen Mother said, "I asked someone to write it."

The queen mother looked surprised, "What? Your majesty asked someone to write it? Why is your majesty like this?"

Yu Wenlan said without changing his face, "In fact, I have heard about their affairs for a long time, so I asked someone to check it out. I wrote it into a story book. First, I wanted to warn the world so that everyone would not follow in their footsteps; Save face for them. If they can voluntarily surrender, I will deal with it leniently."

"But I didn't expect that instead of repenting, they got worse, which is really disappointing."

After finishing speaking, the queen mother paused, Fang nodded and said, "This method is really good, but it's a pity that they are too dishonest. I hope that after these few times, others can be warned."

As he spoke, he said in his heart, 【Sure enough, it's not Li Yanshu, but the emperor. I just said, where does this girl have such great skills? 】

[But...is the emperor already this powerful? 】

Yu Wenlan listened silently, without saying anything.

But I heard Yan Shu silently marveling at the side—

As far as she knew, although An Bin had some doubts, she was locked up in Lanlin Hall before the truth was confirmed, and she had no way of communicating with the outside world.

So today's Queen Mother's question is entirely her own judgment.

Inviting both her and the emperor today, and asking this question suddenly, the Empress Dowager probably wanted to see if she would show her flaws.

Mother's queen mother is really powerful, fortunately she was not born in this year, otherwise she would have died at the hands of the queen mother many times!

At this moment, the system dinged, [Hey, the Queen Mother used to be innocent and cute. 】
