Chapter 861 Sending Letters
Jiang Hao felt a little disappointed that she didn't have her own spies in the palace, but by coincidence, Eunuch De actually sent her a message.
This time, Jiang Hao was even more certain that Eunuch De wanted something from her, but she first had to figure out what Eunuch De wanted from her.
However, there is no rush for this matter.
The visitor was an old palace maid over 40 years old, surnamed He, working in the laundry department. Jiang Hao didn't know how she got out of the palace, but she was indeed entrusted by Eunuch De to go to the Ji Mansion.
"County Lady, please do not doubt it. I am from the capital city. My brother died in battle and left no children. My parents only have me and my brother. The palace takes care of families like this. I can leave the palace to visit my family once every three years."
It just so happened that it was time for her to visit her relatives, and Eunuch De came to see her.
She is over 40 years old and her parents are also old, but she is past the age to leave the palace and chose to stay when she was eligible. It is very difficult for her to be released now.
However, Eunuch De told her that there was a chance.
Then, after leaving the palace, she immediately came to Ji's house.
There are several old palace maids like her, who leave the palace every three years and no one pays attention to them. Therefore, Eunuch De is very good at selecting people.
Of course, she was lucky to have this opportunity.
Jiang Hao took the letter from her, but didn't rush to read it. Instead, he motioned Xiang Ling to take the person out and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work. Go eat something first."
"Thank you, Lord County."
He Chunhua thanked Jiang Hao and said, "I have already delivered the things and I have to hurry home, so I will take my leave now."
Having said that, he quickly saluted Jiang Hao.
"Then I won't delay you."
Jiang Hao did not try to persuade her to stay. He nodded in agreement with her and asked Xiangcao to give him some tip money.
He Chunhua took a few taels of silver and burst into tears of gratitude. She knelt down and kowtowed three times before following Xiangcao out.
As soon as the person left, Jiang Hao opened the letter and quickly read through it.
Concubine Shu actually made a scene in the imperial study!
Then, I was put under house arrest.
This time was different from the past. Emperor Suwen only left Ruyi and Yanqing to continue serving and withdrew the other palace servants. He was obviously extremely angry at Concubine Shu's behavior.
Similarly, a ban was issued in the palace, and no one was allowed to mention this matter, and anyone who violated the ban would be beheaded.
Jiang Hao forgot for a moment how to evaluate this imperial concubine. If he said she was stupid, she had been favored in the palace for nearly twenty years; if he said she was smart, she made a scene in the imperial study for a man who had been dead for more than ten or twenty years and had nothing to do with her.
The Emperor is Heaven!
Even if there was nothing going on between her and Huo Yuanpei, if she made such a fuss, not only would she be in trouble, but also the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the Huo family, especially the Huo family, would definitely be in trouble with her.
Since Emperor Suwen was able to kill Huo Yuanpei and create the illusion that he committed suicide, there is no guarantee that he will not kill Concubine Shu in the same way today.
How could she do that?
The letter was short and did not go into detail.
Perhaps, even Eunuch De himself doesn't know why.
But Eunuch De took a huge risk to send the news to her. Was it to remind her on purpose, or was there some unspeakable secret hidden in it?
Jiang Hao then submitted another invitation to Yongning Palace, but this time, there was no reply from the palace.
"Miss, Maid He has arrived home."
Yueying followed all the way and after observing for a while, she made sure that there was no problem with the palace maid who delivered the letter, and then came back to report.
Jiang Hao nodded and ordered, "Go to Baiyun Temple at night and find Xie Lin."
"Yes."
