Chapter 496: Chapter 338: This is also the Mother-in-Law’s House (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Fu Zhen is now certain that there is indeed a problem with King Yan’s side, but it’s not just him— the Empress is also involved.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Feng, she immediately rushed to Taishan Hall to find Li Yi.
Luckily, Li Yi happened to be in the martial arts school as well.
Skipping all the pleasantries, Fu Zhen directly asked, "Old man, how many times have you met that eunuch?"
Although Li Yi was caught off guard by her question, he could tell how important it was. He thought for a moment and replied, "Only twice in total. The first time was when he came to find me, and the second time was two or three years ago. However, both times he didn’t stay long. Other times, people around him contacted me."
"When he showed you the Token, did you see what color the tassel on it was?"
"Tassel?" Li Yi pondered for a moment and then answered quickly, "It was green! A green tassel!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhen took a deep breath and continued, "He is about six feet tall, with a silver round face, thick long eyebrows, and an ingot-shaped mouth, is that right?"
Li Yi was stunned again, "That’s more or less his appearance! Have you found him so quickly? Which palace is he from?"
The task she had just been entrusted with yesterday had already shown progress in just a night, remarkably fast indeed!
But how could he know that Fu Zhen had already pinpointed her target? As long as she focused on the target, it was not much effort at all!
Fu Zhen clenched her fists, calming her thoughts.
He Rong was an old acquaintance by the Empress’s side; in other words, if he weren’t a notable figure, he wouldn’t have been assigned such a task.
Fu Zhen had seen these eunuchs since she was young, and although none had particularly distinctive features, making it difficult to identify him at a glance, previously, when He Rong sought an audience with the Empress, the Empress unexpectedly sent him away because she and Mrs. Feng were present.
After all, she is the founding Empress!
Apart from the Emperor, she is the highest authority.
In the eyes of many veteran meritorious officials who followed all along, she often carried as much weight as the Emperor.
Did she need to avoid people ing to her? Did she need to avoid discussing things because of their presence?
Upon hearing the Empress issue such an order, Fu Zhen was already speculating whether this Mr. He was the one she had in mind.
Hence, she discreetly arranged for Mrs. Feng to leave, hurried out, and indeed saw He Rong stepping into Kunning Palace.
Now the facts are clear; Yang Zhan is not speaking nonsense. While both the Emperor and Empress await Yang Yi’s return, they individually pursue their own agendas— the Emperor may not be hiding anything from the Empress, but the Empress’s actions are definitely concealed from the Emperor.
The Empress not only acted without informing the Emperor, but also mobilized people outside the palace, like Li Yi.
From this, it is evident that the guards sent by King Yan every year under the pretext of procuring medicinal herbs were likely dispatched by the Empress to search for Yang Yi.
And the issues with King Yan actually all stem from the Empress.
Because even if he had aspirations, he didn’t have the means to accomplish all this!
King Yan’s search for medicine is merely a facade for the Empress.
Thus, the problems within the palace can be partly unraveled, with the main issues still lying between the Emperor and the Empress.
King Yan may have issues, but compared to the conflicts between the Emperor and Empress, they are of lesser importance.
So, what exactly is the conflict between the Emperor and Empress?
If there is a conflict, why are they still able to join forces and fight together?
This conflict is highlighted in the search for Yang Yi, but what exactly is this conflict?
Why does the Empress hide things from the Emperor? Why doesn’t she trust him?
"Girl," Li Yi, seeing her silent for quite a while, quickly sat down, "Have you stumbled upon something extraordinary? Who exactly is this person the palace is looking for?"
Fu Zhen looked at him, then shook her head, "I can’t confirm if it’s him yet. I’ll let you know once I’ve figured it out."
The matter is not yet suitable to be publicized, and naturally, she couldn’t disclose too much to him, she could only brush him off temporarily.
After leaving Taishan Hall, the sun was already setting in the west.
Pei Zhan, by the Emperor’s order, was keeping an eye on the military situation between Dayue and Dongzi Country, so in recent days, he hadn’t returned so early.
She made up her mind and got into the carriage, "To the Liang Mansion. If the General returns, please also have him come to the Liang Mansion."
...
Pei Zhan and Liang Chen were both at the Ministry of War.
In recent days, military s from the northwest have been arriving every three days.
