Chapter 882 Let Gu Jinxiao be responsible
The Minister of Justice said respectfully: "Your Majesty, no connection has been found between the two so far. It should just be a coincidence."
"If we want to be sure, we have to continue investigating further."
A dark light flashed across Nangong Xuanyu's eyes.
The border is a long way from the capital, and it is unknown how much time it will take to send people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Not to mention that Nian Nian was wronged, the longer the time dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to her reputation.
Moreover, the Huns were at war with the Great Zhou. If he rashly sent people to the border to investigate for the sake of a concubine, it would cause panic among the people and instability in the military.
Thinking of this, Nangong Xuanyu said: "Interrogate the people related to the Zhang family immediately!"
Although he didn't know what reason Kangpin had to harm Nian Nian, the women in the harem were very thoughtful, and who knew what kind of hearts these beautiful women actually had.
"……Yes!"
No matter what, as long as they can find out this within three days, their official positions will be safe.
Next, as long as we find the person who truly planned this, we will no longer have to endure His Majesty’s wrath.
After this episode, people from the Ministry of Punishment, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Justice withdrew.
Li Changde is the worm in the emperor's stomach.
Seeing the distress in Nangong Xuanyu's eyes, he immediately bent down and said, "Your Majesty, although we haven't found the real murderer yet, at least we can prove that the sudden cracking of the seal was a conspiracy against Concubine Chen. The theory that it was a warning from heaven has been refuted."
"Her Royal Concubine Chen has suffered so much injustice, is it time for her to end her confinement in the Zhongcui Palace?"
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Li Changde with appreciation: "Then what are you waiting for? Go and pass on the order!"
Li Changde replied "yes" and sent Xiao Huizi over with a smile.
Another young eunuch lowered his head and curled his lips.
He knew that Eunuch Li would ask Xiao Huizi to do such a good thing.
They were both young eunuchs working in the Yangxin Palace, but Xiao Huizi's purse was much richer than his. After all, he had a good master, and the monthly reward was many times the regular silver.
Not only Li Changde, but all the people serving in the imperial court were in a good mood.
Because these few days, His Majesty had to imprison Concubine Chen, who had a gloomy face the whole day, and the atmosphere in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity was very depressing!
Now that he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Chen, on the contrary, she was the victim, His Majesty no longer had to imprison her, and his mood had improved a lot.
Li Changde’s biggest task was to help the emperor solve his problems.
Seeing Nangong Xuanyu looking thoughtful, he instantly realized that His Majesty must feel that Concubine Chen was wronged this time and was thinking about how to compensate her.
Li Changde bent over and suggested, "Your Majesty, I think that in order to appease the grievances suffered by Concubine Chen this time, you might as well give a new order and ask the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department to remake a more exquisite seal, symbolizing that Concubine Chen's status and glory are unshakable!"
"During the production process, we can also invite prestigious ministers to participate in the supervision to ensure that there will be no problems with the seal and that the quality and craftsmanship meet the highest standards!"
"After the new imperial seal is made, we will hold a grand ceremony to confer the title of Imperial Concubine Chen on Her Majesty, so that everyone will know that Her Majesty Chen's position as Imperial Concubine is unshakable!"
Nangong Xuanyu raised his eyes and glanced at Li Changde.
Otherwise, it could be said that among all the palace servants in the Yangxin Palace, only Li Changde was the one who won his heart the most.
"I'll do as you say."
Nangong Xuanyu thought about it, and a figure appeared in his mind: "Pass on my order, and let Gu Aiqing supervise this matter."
He was a close minister to the emperor, and was also the official historian of the enthronement ceremony.
Nangong Xuanyu also heard that after what happened on the day of the enthronement ceremony, cabinet officials and university scholars all criticized Nian Nian, and only Gu Jinxiao strictly followed his orders to ensure the successful completion of the enthronement ceremony.
It would be most appropriate to let Gu Jinxiao handle the task of remaking the imperial seal.
Li Changde bent over and said, "I obey your command!"
Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Nangong Xuanyu said calmly: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Li Changde said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I just feel that although it has been found out that this matter was man-made, the world is full of people who just follow the crowd."
"In order to stop the rumors completely and stop anyone from using the word 'unlucky' to criticize Concubine Chen, why not let the monks from Fayuan Temple come to the palace to pray for the safety of the palace and the prosperity of the country!"
"At the same time, it also vindicates Consort Chen and tells the world that even if the crack of the seal brings an ominous sign, the possible crisis can be resolved through the devout prayers of the monks."
"From now on, no one will bring this up again."
Nangong Xuanyu thought for a while and felt that what Li Changde said made sense.
He looked at Li Changde with a smile in his eyes: "It's rare that you care so much about Concubine Chen, tell someone to make the arrangements."
Li Changde replied "Yes" and said with a smile: "I just want to share your worries, Your Majesty. I don't want Your Majesty to worry about Concubine Chen anymore."
This time, Nangong Xuanyu did not refute.
He was indeed worried about Nian Nian.
However, before all the truth came out, Nian Nian was still in the spotlight, so he couldn't go to see her at this time. So he ordered Li Changde to send many rewards to Zhongcui Palace.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian already knew what Concubine Xuan and Concubine Xue had done.
If it weren't for them, the rumors in the palace would have spread far and wide, and she would have become a veritable evil concubine.
Handan lowered her head and smiled: "I always feel that Concubine Xuan has grown a lot compared to before. Is this what it means to be a strong mother?"
Fuqiu said: "If you stay in the palace for a long time, people will change."
After all, the harem is a place where stupid people cannot survive.
Fuqiu nodded and said, "And Empress Xuefei, she looks cold and aloof. Every time I see her, she looks like she's trying to keep people at a distance. I didn't expect she has such a kind heart."
Shen Zhinian's mood was somewhat complicated...
No matter in her past life or this life, she was used to fighting alone and was used to being extremely wary of others.
This was the first time she experienced the feeling of being protected by an ally.
It seems... not bad either.
A hint of warmth arose in Shen Zhinian's heart, which he himself did not even notice.
At this time, Xiao Mingzi came in and reported: "Madam, Xiao Huizi wants to see you."
The smiles on everyone's faces froze for a moment.
The people in the imperial court came to give the reward, and in the name of His Majesty, took away the palace power from the Queen.
Who knows whether Xiao Huizi's visit today will bring good news or bad news...
Shen Zhinian was in a much more optimistic mood.
Because today is the last day set by the emperor.
She looked at Xiao Mingzi and said, "Let Xiao Huizi come in."
"Yes!"
