Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 59 The Punishment of the Iron Skirt
After saying that, he hurriedly took Ji Lan away.

"Go and call Song Guo, take a dozen trustworthy young eunuchs with you, and go to Qingning Palace with Marquis Taiyun on your side."

Ji Lan agreed and quickly went to make arrangements.

The group of people arrived at Qingning Palace quickly. A young eunuch saw that he had gone in early to report the news, and after a while, Grandma Gao came out to welcome them.

"Princess, my slave didn't come to see you today. Why are you here now?"

Yiman had a smile that was not a smile, his face could not be seen clearly under the night, but there was a strange danger in it.

"Excuse me, Grandma Gao, please evacuate everyone to the outskirts of Qingning Palace. Only the most intimate people are left in the palace. I have matters concerning my family and life to discuss with my mother."

Mother Gao was startled, she glanced behind Yiman, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but looked at Yiman's eyes with panic for no reason.It took so long to know the eldest princess's uncompromising character, so she asked people to report and arranged for the palace servants.

When the Qingning Palace quieted down, a side hall that had been waiting for a long time entered the main hall.

"Manman, what happened?"

Yiman walked to the middle, and bowed in a dignified way.Standing up, there was a determination to die in his eyes, which frightened the queen.

"Mother, today my son was tricked by Fang Jieyu and met a foreigner in the chrysanthemum garden."

"what--"

The queen immediately got up and took two steps closer, with an anxious expression and worried eyes, "Are you alright?"

Aunt Gao's face was also frighteningly cold. She glanced at the young eunuchs of Qingsi Palace gathered on one side of the palace door and asked, "Princess, why is there no news at all today?"

"I'm fine. The man lying in ambush in the chrysanthemum garden seems to know that I'm going to go. It just so happened that Xue Meiren and other concubines blocked the way to come. In order to protect myself, I detained him. Now I'm in the hall. , pressed by the little eunuch."

Aunt Gao immediately hurried over to check, staring at Aunt Gao with calmness in her eyes.

"Nurse Gao, don't worry, wait for Ben Gong to finish speaking."

Aunt Gao responded and stood aside.

"My son has already grasped some of the evidence, and he is in the Qingsi Hall at this moment. The identity of the outsider is also known. He is Fang Jieyu's brother, Taiyunhou Fang Lingchu."

The waves of news made the queen's heart beat faster and her blood flow backwards.It was just anxious and angry, on the one hand worried about Yiman, afraid that the emperor would find out, and on the other hand resenting Fang Jieyu's despicableness.

That Taiyun Marquis was a widower. His first wife died and he was already forty. He was a man who could live up to his father's standards.This Fang Jieyu is so shameless, she dares to cooperate with the Fang family to covet the emperor's daughter.

The queen's face was flushed with anger, and she stepped back and sat on the phoenix chair while rubbing her chest.

Aunt Gao quickly came forward and served tea to the queen, and then the queen regained her breath.

"Why did she do this? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and continued: "My son came here at this time because he wanted to deal with this matter in secret."

"What, deal with it in secret—" The queen just said the words, but suddenly realized that Yiman's words were correct.

This matter involves not only the reputation of the princess, but also the reputation of the royal family.If it is really put on the bright side, no matter whether the eldest princess is really treated fairly or not, she will not get any cheap.On the contrary, she had to cover up for Fang Jieyu, a royal concubine. Could it be that Fang Jieyu had such an idea that she dared to act recklessly?
Nanny Gao patted the Queen's hand, "The Eldest Princess has ideas, you might as well listen to what the Eldest Princess has to say."

With a slight smile in his eyes, Yiman exchanged a glance with Nanny Gao, and then looked at the queen, "I have already found a way to deal with Fang Jieyu, but I just need the help of my mother."

The Queen nodded.Gao Nai knew that she already had a complete charter when she knew everything in her chest, "What does the eldest princess need the empress to do?"

"My son has traced it to Fang Jieyu's palace, and has also kept flowers, butterflies, robes and other evidence, but there is still some evidence missing."

Grandma Gao instantly understood that the key evidence was missing.

The queen nodded, with confidence and solemnity in her eyes, "Don't worry, the queen mother will help you find it." Turning to Aunt Gao Song, "Song Yan, hurry up and investigate. The time of the incident is still short, there must be a lot of evidence .”

Song Yan responded and quickly went to check.

"The evidence is complete, what is the princess going to do with Tai Yunhou? The gate of the palace is closed today, if the guards at the palace gate cannot see the record of Tai Yunhou's leaving the palace, they will definitely report to Zichen Palace and search the palace."

Seeing that the queen was also looking at her worriedly, Yiman's eyes were comforting, "My son will finish the matter tonight. Besides-whether Tai Yunhou really came in through the palace gate is not certain. If so The Fang family lost someone, so they should go to find Fang Jieyu. Mother Gao, get someone to keep an eye on Fang Jieyu, if someone from the Fang family sends a letter to ask, just hold it down, it is also a witness."

Nanny Gao looked at the queen, agreed and went to make arrangements.

Seeing that they had all gone out, the queen's emotions had calmed down, and she waved to Yiman, "Get up, arrange them all out, but I have something to tell the queen mother, is today's thing true?"

Do you still have fantasies about this kind of thing?
Yiman's face darkened, and in a blink of an eye, he walked over to the queen and sat down with a smile.

"Mother, Marquis Taiyun is being escorted by them, and the incident has already happened."

The queen sighed, "Yiman, what are you going to do?"

"My son thinks that Lord Kang should be secretly summoned at this time, and Fang Jieyu should be taken directly to the Qingning Palace or the prison, and all the palace people in Fang Jieyu's palace should be locked up and detained in the original palace, and all news should be blocked. When the evidence arrives, it will be dealt with in secret. Afterwards, it will be formed into a secret book, and it will be reported to the emperor."

"What--you mean to kill first and play later? Then Fang Lingqing is a third-rank Jieyu who gave birth to the tenth prince. If you don't get your father's approval, others don't know the inside story of this matter, how to deal with her?"

Yiman took the queen's hand and said, "Mother, please be patient. It was precisely because the tenth prince was instigated and had conflicts with his sons that he left the impression of murder in his father's ears, so Fang Jieyu That's why he will do anything to me. There is no need for everyone in the palace to know about this matter, and it is enough to deal with Fang Jieyu secretly."

The queen looked nervous, "Then what if your father gets angry and blames you when he finds out?"

The emperor will certainly not blame, because this matter involves a new policy in the court, but this new policy has not yet been made public.Yiman also pieced it together secretly during the two months of contact with Mi Taifu.

What new policies did the emperor intend to use to suppress the aristocratic family, regain imperial power, and promote reforms?

Fang Jieyu is involved in the Fang family, and the Fang family is related to the Guo family and the Fu family, all of which are aristocratic families.

Thinking about it now, it was a sign that Guo Cairen was demoted to Yeting at that time.

Now that the Fang family has hit a cobweb, if the queen suppresses the Fang family's arrogant behavior and then suppresses the Guo family, maybe the emperor will look down upon the queen.

It's just that this matter is all speculation in Yiman's mind. There is no news about the New Deal yet, so the Queen must not know about it.

"Empress Mother, since I entered the palace, my son's actions have been for you and for your consideration. Don't you trust me? Don't worry, even if the father knows, he won't blame you. At most, he will say a few words about you." That's all."

The queen's brows were full of worry, "Even if your father and emperor talk about your mother, your mother will still be sad."

Yiman sighed slightly, with an inductive smile on the corner of his mouth, "Even though my father will scold you with his mouth, he will appreciate you with gratitude in his heart."
