Chapter 625: Palace Fights Are All Scheming

Chu Mingxin's stroll in the Imperial Garden made it inconvenient for the concubines of Emperor Yongkang to go there.

When they didn't know about it at first, several concubines would go there every day. After meeting him twice, they all deliberately avoided him. Even if they wanted to go, they would ask someone to check in advance to see if he was there. If he was there, they would not go.

However, the concubines had no such concerns. They would go around every day and would say hello and chat with people when they met them.

There is also the third prince Chu Mingzhi. After returning, in addition to going to the mourning hall to burn incense, he also often went to the harem.

Of course, he went to see his mother. It was hard to say anything else. He had finally come back, so it was understandable that the mother and son saw each other often.

It was fine before, but now Xiao Yun is somewhat suspicious that Imanvina is colluding with the Third Prince. Chu Mingzhi is planning to kill his brother and Imanvina is planning to use Chu Mingzhi's ambition to disrupt the royal family.

If this is the case, it is really possible. After all, Chu Sheng is too young, and many ministers probably don't want him to succeed to the throne. After all, he has two uncles in their prime, and it is better for them to take the throne than a baby.

Not to mention others, just look at the regent ministers who were very polite to the two of them. If Xiao Yun had not made a strong appearance before, the ministers who wanted to follow the emperor would have said this openly.

As a result, Xiao Yun watched for two days and found out that Chu Mingzhi was really going to see Concubine Shu and had no connection with Imanvina.

Moreover, Xiao Yun also checked the Three Kings' Palace, but did not find any information about the barbarians.

Just when she had no idea, Chu Mingxin appeared again. When Xiao Yun saw Imanvina also wandering around the Imperial Garden, she felt that she might have had a preconceived idea.

Those concubines had the habit of going to the Imperial Garden and they had been there before, but Imanvina had rarely been out before. Because she was not favored and was of a foreign race, she did not have a good relationship with the concubines.

They basically ignored her, so she used to stay in her own palace, and now she stays in her own room. It was a bit strange for her to come to the Imperial Garden with them.

Coupled with Chu Mingxin's abnormality, Xiao Yun immediately thought that the two of them might be connected, and then began to have people keep an eye on them.

Of course, she also went to Chu Mingxin's palace. Although she did not find any substantial evidence, his palace was too clean. There were no letters or anything like that. Even if there was nothing else, there must be subordinates in Huzhou reporting on their work. It was a bit abnormal that there was not even this.

Next, Xiao Yun not only had people keep an eye on the two of them, but she also frequently scanned them with her spiritual sense. As long as the two of them went to the Imperial Garden, whether at the same time or not, she would keep a close eye on them with her spiritual sense. Then she discovered another place where Imanvina sent messages.

This time, the letter was not buried underground, but placed in the cracks of the rockery beside the koi pond.

At noon that day, she pretended to be watching the koi there, and suddenly wanted to feed the koi, so she sent the palace maid who followed her to get the fish food.

After the palace maid left, he stuffed a letter into the gap of the rockery. When the palace maid came back, he fed the fish for a while as if nothing had happened and then left.

Xiao Yun didn't go to get the letter this time. She just waited to see who would go. Anyway, she could see it through her spiritual sense at that time.

It was not until the afternoon that Chu Mingxin strolled to the koi pond.

Okay, the case is solved, it’s him.

Sure enough, Chu Mingxin also squatted in the same place, stretched out one hand to stir the water in the pond, touched the koi that came over thinking someone was feeding them, and held the rockery with the other hand, as if he was squatting unsteadily and needed help, but in fact he stuffed the letter in the rockery into his sleeve.

The movement was so smooth that even the eunuchs serving nearby didn't notice it.

That’s amazing! It seems like this is not the first or second time these two people have communicated with each other.

However, Xiao Yun could not think of what big things these two people could do together. If it was the Third Prince, to be honest, Xiao Yun might still be vague, after all, the Third Prince Xihu still had an army of more than 200,000.

If something happened to Chu Mingzhi here, the confidants he left behind would definitely take action.

As for Chu Mingxin's words, it wasn't that she looked down on him, it was that he really had no soldiers, no money, and no power...

Wait! They may not have the troops or the power, but they are not sure about the money.

Emperor Yongkang did not send him to Huzhou to build a dam empty-handed; he was given real money.

Although the money is to be used to repair the dam, it cannot be rushed and must be built slowly, otherwise people will be accused of cutting corners. Now that there is not much time left, it will not be discovered if the money is misappropriated first.

And where is Huzhou? It's a land of fish and rice, and right next to it is Huizhou, a land rich in silk and tea. Although those industries are in the hands of aristocratic families, what if he hooks up with them? Or is it that the aristocratic families are betting on him?

Even if the success rate is not high, those aristocratic families are hoping for internal strife within the royal family so that they will not have the time to deal with them and divide their interests.

The more Xiao Yun thought about it, the more possible it seemed. It seemed he had to investigate Chu Mingxin's situation in Huzhou.

She did it as soon as she thought of it. She sent a message directly to the secret guards in Huzhou, asking them to find out Chu Mingxin's power there and report all the noble families there who had any contact with Chu Mingxin.

At the same time, he also followed Chu Mingxin with his spiritual consciousness until he left the palace and returned to the mansion and entered the study, and then he finally opened the letter to read the contents.

Well, this time it was not a barbaric text. Xiao Yun remembered the content after scanning it once. It was mostly words of concern, and there was no conspiracy or intrigue. He didn't expect that the relationship between these two people was quite good.

But is it really necessary to be so sneaky about this kind of content? It would be fine if we just talked about it directly in person, right?

After all, there is a ten or twenty year age difference between the two, and Imanvina's appearance does not conform to the aesthetic standards of the Dali period, so no one should think of anything wrong.

Or... is there some secret code here?

Xiao Yun went over the contents of the letter twice from the beginning, even reading the last row of the first row and even the diagonal rows, but did not find any problems.

I rubbed my head and didn't want to think about it anymore, so I decided to ask the person himself.

So at night she went to Imanvina's room, knocked her unconscious and stuffed her into the space, and then gave her a deep hypnosis.

After asking about the whole story, she felt like she had just read a melodramatic novel and was eager to find someone to complain to.

Then she called Bai Qiu and the others over and had them listen to it again. These veterans, who had experienced a lot, collectively revealed a look of dismay...
