Concubine Zheng Guifei can't help but be surprised, in the more than 200 years since the Ming Dynasty had a country, how could there have been cases where the East Palace was broken into and injured and killed!

If the death is an ordinary palace eunuch, it is not uncommon for the inner eunuchs to beat each other to death for so many years.

There are also many people who have violated the precepts in the palaces and have been killed, and on the side of Kunning Palace, a few corpses have to be carried to Jingle Hall every year, so the dead people in the palace are not a matter at all.

But this time, it was the biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson who died, and this nature was terrible. You must know that the king is a talented person, but the emperor personally chose the title for the East Palace and gave him the title himself. Now he has been beaten to death, if the emperor knows, he will not be furious!

Concubine Zheng was shocked, and it took a long time to stabilize her mind and ask Liu Chengdao: "Who is so bold and reckless!" ”

Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"How could you not know?!" Zheng Guifei was angry, slapped the table heavily, and scolded: "How could you not know such a big thing!" After scolding, he was so angry that he kicked the jade pendant that was broken into several petals on the ground and flew away.

"Mother's anger!" The people on the left and right palaces were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

Liu Cheng looked aggrieved: "Niangniang doesn't know, the East Palace has blocked the news, and the master reported to Wang Cairen that he died of illness." So who killed Wang Cairen, the slaves and maids don't know. ”

"Death? What does Zhu Changluo mean? A person was killed, how could he report his death? ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei was stunned and felt incredible, although she didn't like Zhu Changluo, but since the emperor had already made him the crown prince, she could only accept this fact no matter how much she didn't like it. As the crown prince, his talent was beaten to death, but he concealed it and did not report it, what kind of heart is this?

Could it be that Zhu Changluo killed the person himself?

Zheng Guifei couldn't help but think so, otherwise, there would be no way to explain Zhu Changluo's abnormal behavior.

Seeing this, Liu Cheng took the opportunity to say: "Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that there is such a big thing in the East Palace, and the prince dares to hide it, which is really a bit unusual." ”

"What do you mean?" Concubine Zheng was thoughtful.

"You have to let the emperor know about this!"

After speaking, Liu Cheng was already excited in his heart, if the emperor was angry with the East Palace for this, then he, Liu Cheng, would have made a great contribution to the concubine.

I don't want to, but Concubine Zheng changed color after hearing this, and scolded Liu Cheng: "You have such a bad idea, don't you think there is not enough trouble in this palace!" ”

"Mother, me? Liu Cheng was dumbfounded, not knowing how he had a bad idea.

"This matter can't be known to the emperor, let alone the foreign court, otherwise, they will definitely think that the person was sent by the palace!"

Zheng Guifei wisely did not adopt Liu Cheng's idea, because she knew very well that as long as this matter spread, the civil officials of the foreign dynasty would definitely blame Wang Cairen's death on her concubine Niangniang, and some officials would chew maggots and say that she wanted to kill Zhu Changluo, but as a result, Wang Cairen was killed by mistake.

"No, Niang Niang has never done anything."

Liu became his own master, and he was also very sorry, such a good opportunity to clean up the East Palace, how could Niang Niang not take advantage of it.

"Won't?"

Concubine Zheng snorted coldly, "This palace only helped Lu Kun print this book back then, and the foreign court almost said that my Zheng family was going to plot against me, and I couldn't wait to copy and kill my Zheng family." Now, the East Palace has entered the Rakke, what do you think they will think of this? … This palace is now a black cauldron, and everything can be on my head. ”

After Liu Cheng heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more, because he participated in the printing of the book by the concubine from beginning to end.

The book is called "Boudoir Fan Tushuo", which is written by Lu Kun, a servant of the criminal department who is as famous as Hai Rui and has a clear reputation, and this book arranges the deeds of the virtuous queens and concubines, virgins and martyrs of the past dynasties, one person, one picture, one picture, and one event, and publishes it publicly, so as to educate women to know etiquette and observance.

Originally, this book had nothing to do with the concubine Niangniang, but later it was seen by Chen Ju, the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, and thought it was a good edit, so he dedicated it to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor also felt good, and gave a copy of this book to the concubine.

The concubine is good at reading, and she was amazed after seeing "Boudoir Fan Tushuo", thinking that this book is easy to understand, the reason is clear, and it should be printed more so that women in the world can read it. So she paid for her own private money, asked Liu Cheng and his uncle Zheng Chengen Zhang Luo to reprint it, and personally wrote the preface to the book, and added some legends.

Because the concubine personally paid for the printing, the printing was very exquisite, and the price was very cheap, causing a sensation. But not long after, a clerk named Dai Shiheng wrote a letter to attack Lu Kunjin in "Boudoir Fan Tushuo", saying that Lu Kun wanted to marry the palace boudoir and harbor evil intentions, and requested that the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo be immediately appointed as the crown prince to avoid the hope of others. Fan Yuheng of Quanjiao Zhixian County, Nanzhili, pointed out that Zheng Guifei's preface and printing was a harbor of evil intentions, and she would have other ambitions.

For a while, public opinion was turbulent, and they all scolded Concubine Zheng for her ill intentions, but of course the emperor ignored it when he found out. However, this matter is not over, three years later, someone in the name of "Zhu Dongji", for the "Boudoir Fan Tushuo" made a poem, this poem is also known as "Sorrow and Danger", thousands of words, white and black, criticizing Lu Kun for the concubine to take the heir, saying that the concubine Niangniang deliberately slandered herself as the queen, this "Sorrowful Discussion" spread widely, and even North Korea and Mongolia knew, and the trouble was really known to the world.

This is the demon book case, three years later, Wanli finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the foreign dynasty and set up his eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince.

If the concubine hadn't printed the book back then, perhaps, the East Palace would still be pending today.

Thinking of what happened back then, Liu Chengcheng felt more sorry for the concubine Niangniang, after thinking about it, he was still unwilling, and said cautiously: "Niangniang, no matter what, Wang Cairen was beaten to death, but the master concealed the truth, Niangniang can't let him." ”

"The affairs of the East Palace are his Zhu Changluo's affairs, and the palace doesn't want to carry the black pot for him." After Zheng Guifei finished speaking, she waved her hand and motioned for Liu Cheng to go down, she really didn't want to participate in this matter.

Liu Cheng had no choice but to retreat, looking at the starry sky, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: The guards in the East Palace are so sparse, if you really send a guest in, will you be able to beat the master to death?

couldn't help but tremble, Liu Cheng himself was frightened by this thought, and trembled, this thing can't be done, it's going to kill the nine clans!

Shaking his head, Liu Cheng didn't think about it anymore, the concubine didn't care about it, so why should he worry about it. Tianjin tax envoy Ma Tang Ma Gonggong asked someone to bring him a message, to enter a person named Pang Bao into the palace, he had to go and see the person in person tomorrow.

Two days ago, Liu Cheng listened to the letter, and Ma Tang Mousheng Bingbi's matter was in the soup, and I heard that it was Chen Gonggong who suppressed it. But even so, Liu Cheng didn't dare to snub Ma Tang, after all, this person was the person that the emperor had to use, and he was pressed by Gao Huai this time, and he might be able to rise next time.

Although Liu Cheng is the person next to the noble concubine, his status in the palace is not high, so he does not dare to offend Ma Tang, after all, this person is one of the top candidates for Si Li Bingbi. In the future, Ma Tang can really be promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi, and he Liu Cheng will have a lot of benefits.

Thinking about tomorrow, Liu Cheng went to rest.

In the Chenghua Hall of the East Palace, Wei Liangchen held a thin quilt and looked at the smooth ground blankly.
