Episode 10 Chapter 510
Chapter 510
There are quite a few men in the Feng Palace. There are over 10,000 men in the guard camp alone. In addition, there are also elites from the Duwei camp and elusive secret assassins. It would be too difficult to find someone who is trustworthy and daring. Difficult.
Pang Li had no time to wait for the opportunity, so she could only take the initiative. The first thing she took a fancy to was the assassins. The power of secret arrows is so great that no one checks in and out of the palace, and whether they are going to the front palace or the harem, such as at home, even if secret arrows come in and out of the wives' palaces, it is just a common occurrence, it is a normal thing. If ladies such as Wu Mei and Fan Min had matters to deal with outside the palace, they would also find people with hidden agendas to handle it.
It was precisely because of the power that Dark Arrow had that Pang Li planned to attack the Dark Arrow personnel.
However, she overlooked one point, why is An Jian's authority so great, and why others entering and exiting the palace are subject to layer-by-layer interrogation, even important officials such as Qiu Zhen and Guan Yuanji are no exception, but only An Jian is not.
The secret agent Pang Li was looking at was a newcomer named Ning Xi, a boy who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Different from other secret assassins, he was smiling all day long and would take the initiative to say hello to anyone he saw. The other backstabbers who are aloof, arrogant and have a dead fish face all day long are completely different.
You don't usually see him participating in patrols. He just wanders around the palace. He will go wherever the palace maids gather. Whether it is talking about state affairs or household matters, he can chat with you.
In Pang Li's eyes, Ning Xi was just a half-grown child, ignorant of the world and just beginning to have a love interest. Of course, such a young person was the easiest to be seduced and the easiest to be manipulated by her.
Ning Xi was always a person who liked to stick to women, and Pang Li deliberately did so. They became acquaintances as soon as they went back and forth, and Ning Xi often ran to Xiangyang Palace intentionally or unintentionally.
As the relationship between the two became more and more familiar, Pang Li's hints became more and more obvious, and sometimes she would even intentionally have physical contact with Ning Xi.
She thought Ning Xi was an unsophisticated, simple and easy-to-deceive young man, but little did she know that every time Ning Xi left her Xiangyang Palace, she would immediately go to see Cheng Jin to report the situation.
It can be said that in Dark Arrow, counting from the bottom up, each one is a simple character. Of course, it is impossible for an idiot to enter Dark Arrow. Ning Xi is a typical smiling tiger among the secret arrows. He usually hangs out with the palace ladies, and his duty is to find out as much as possible about the unknown situations and inside stories in the palace from the palace ladies. For a country, the stability of the harem is also a top priority, and the tentacles of hidden arrows have already reached into the palace.
This was not the first time Cheng Jin heard Ning Xi talk about Pang Li's restlessness. However, it was a matter of great importance and related to the king's face. He did not make it public or explain the situation to Tang Yin. He just wanted to wait. Make sure before making a decision.
However, as Pang Li and Ning Xi came into contact more and more frequently, Pang Li's true nature was exposed more and more, and Cheng Jin felt that the matter could no longer be delayed. But he really couldn't report this kind of thing to Tang Yin, nor could he open his mouth. After some thought, he decided to go to Wu Mei and ask Wu Mei to make a decision.
The current harem of Feng Kingdom is headed by Wu Mei. During Tang Yin's absence, Wu Mei has full authority to handle all affairs in the harem.
After Wu Mei heard Cheng Jin's report, she was also shocked. She didn't expect that Pang Li, already the wife of a king, could do such a despicable thing.
Seeing Wu Mei's face darken, Cheng Jin bowed and said, "Madam, this matter is related to the king's face, so I... did not report it to the king."
"General Cheng did the right thing. Don't let the king know about such things, so as to save the king from worrying."
Wu Mei put away her usual smiling and carefree look, but even if she had a straight face and a sinking face, she would still make people feel charming. Even a deep and steady person like Cheng Jin would not Too dare to look Wu Mei in the face.
He pondered for a moment and asked respectfully: "Does Madam mean..."
"The affairs of the harem should be handled within the harem!" Wu Mei thought for a moment, suddenly stood up and walked into the inner room. From the small drawer next to the bed, she took out a small medicine bottle, then turned and walked back, He handed the small medicine bottle to Cheng Jin and said: "Such a shameless and lowly slave girl cannot be kept here any longer, but don't make too much noise and let people see the king's joke. Just let her disappear silently!"
Cheng Jin's face straightened, he raised his hands, took the small medicine bottle handed over by Wu Mei, looked down at it, and said doubtfully: "Madam, this is..."
"The red top is red." Wu Mei didn't hide anything, and replied in a calm tone.
Cheng Jin's heart trembled. Possession of poison in the harem was a capital crime. Even the wife would be severely punished. He asked in a low voice: "Why does Madam hide red crown..."
"General Cheng, don't worry, this is for me!"
"Ah?" Cheng Jin raised his head in surprise and looked at Wu Mei with confusion.
Wu Mei smiled indifferently and said in a calm tone: "When the four kingdoms of Sichuan, Zhen, An, and Huan joined forces to fight against the wind, and the Zhen army was almost at the gate, I prepared this bottle of medicine at that time, and I kept it with me as a backup. . As a monarch’s wife, you can die, but you must not fall into the hands of the enemy.”
Cheng Jin shrank inwardly after hearing this. They were both the king's wives, but Pang Li was far different from Wu Mei. Who would have thought that the charming Mrs. Leping would be determined to die for the king at any time.
"I have never told the king about this matter. Please do not mention it to the king, General Cheng!" Wu Mei approached Cheng Jin and said faintly.
Plop! Cheng Jin knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed forward, saying: "I dare not! I obey your order!"
Wu Mei smiled, stretched out her hand to pull Cheng Jin up, and said: "Pang Li's matter will be handed over to General Cheng to deal with."
"Madam, you are polite. This is also my responsibility!" Cheng Jin bowed and said.
"Okay, go to work!"
"I'm leaving!" Cheng Jin left Wu Mei's Huaying Palace and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Among Tang Yin's wives, Cheng Jin felt that Wu Mei was the only one who could accomplish great things. Sometimes Wu Mei's tone of voice was exactly the same as Tang Yin's. I don't know if they had the most contact or their natures were similar.
Pang Li was a spiritual cultivator and had a good spiritual martial arts cultivation, but in the eyes of An Jian, that was not worth mentioning at all. An Jian wanted her to disappear without anyone noticing, and he could easily think of ten ways to do it.
The day after Cheng Jin met Wu Mei, Pang Li disappeared. No one was alive or dead. The maids of Xiangyang Palace searched the palace but couldn't find Pang Li. Then, the maids reported the situation to the guard camp, and the guard camp sent someone to search, but the result was still the same, no clues, as if Pang Li had evaporated in the palace. Just when people were scratching their heads in anxiety to find Pang Li's whereabouts, Wu Mei came.
Wu Mei didn't say much, just said that Pang Li had left the palace and went home to visit relatives, so that everyone didn't need to search in the palace.
People felt very strange. Pang Li was a chaste woman. If she wanted to go home to visit her relatives, she had to go back to the chaste land. How could there be no wind in advance for such a big thing?
But Madam Leping had already spoken, and everyone didn't dare to continue to investigate, so the matter was left unresolved. However, the matter finally reached Tang Yin's ears. After all, she was the wife of a country. He deliberately asked Wu Mei what was going on.
Wu Mei answered straightforwardly, saying that she hated Pang Li, so she decided to drive her out of the palace privately. After hearing this, Tang Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't think Wu Mei was such a narrow-minded woman. She drove someone away just because she hated him. If so, wouldn't Fan Min have suffered a long time ago?
Tang Yin knew very well that Wu Mei didn't tell the truth, but he didn't continue to ask. No matter what Wu Mei did, she must have her reasons. In addition, from the bottom of his heart, Tang Yin didn't like Pang Li very much, and even hated her a little. Now that Wu Mei had "changed" Pang Li, he was happy to see it happen.
Instead of blaming Wu Mei for this, Tang Yin hugged Wu Mei lovingly and said with a smile: "Mei'er helped me get rid of a big trouble."
He accepted Pang Li out of helplessness at the beginning. Now that Pang Li was driven out of the palace by Wu Mei without his knowledge, it was not considered that he broke his promise.
Under Wu Mei's leadership, Fengguo's harem did not have any trouble, but Tang Yin's handling of Yin Rou was not so smooth.
In the imperial court, many old ministers retired because of their old age, but the imperial court had to be maintained, which required the promotion of more ministers.
While Fengguo was expanding outward, many talents entered the imperial court. Some of them were loyal to Fengguo, some were directly assigned by the Fengguo court to mix into the imperial court, but some others respected the emperor from the bottom of their hearts and were loyal to the imperial court.
The fact that Tang Yin proposed to the emperor but was rejected by the princess soon spread in the imperial court. Those ministers who were bribed by Fengguo or loyal to Fengguo were all indignant and felt that the princess was wrong and should not make trouble out of nothing and deliberately embarrass the King of Feng.
But some people were keenly aware that this was a good opportunity to eradicate the tyrant and support the emperor. Among these ministers, the newly appointed Grand Secretary Fang Xiaoxuan was one of the representatives. For this matter, Fang Xiaoxuan even went to the palace to ask for an audience with Yin Rou.
Yin Rou was not very familiar with Fang Xiaoxuan, and she had been in a bad mood recently, so she did not see him.
Fang Xiaoxuan was quite persistent. If Yin Rou did not see him today, he would ask for an audience the next day. If Yin Rou did not see him the next day, he would ask for an audience the next day.
In the end, even Yin Rou felt very funny, as if if she did not see him once, he would come to see her every day. At this time, Yin Rou also began to be curious about Fang Xiaoxuan.
