Concubine Zheng must be surprised. In the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no incident in which the Eastern Palace was invaded, injured and killed people!

It would be just an ordinary palace eunuch. For so many years, there have been cases where internal prisoners beat each other to death.

Many people were beaten to death in each palace after violating the precepts. In the Kunning Palace, several corpses have to be carried to Jingletang every year, so the death of people in the palace is not a matter of stake.

But this time, the death was the biological mother of the eldest grandson of the emperor, and this nature was very bad. You know, Wang Cairen was personally selected by the emperor for the Eastern Palace and personally granted the title. Now he is beaten to death. If the emperor knows, he will not be furious!

Concubine Zheng was shocked and after a long time of calmness, she asked Liu Cheng, "Who is so bold and arbitrary!"

Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"How could you not know?!" Zheng Guifei was so angry that she slapped the table hard and cursed: "How come you don't know about such a big thing!" After cursing, she was so angry that she kicked the jade pendant that had broken into several petals on the ground far away.

"Empress Dowager!" The palace ladies on both sides were so scared that they fell to their knees.

Liu Cheng looked aggrieved: "The Empress doesn't know anything. The news was blocked from the East Palace. The young master told Wang Cairen that he died of illness. So I don't know who killed Wang Cairen."

"Diet illness? What does Zhu Changluo mean? A man was beaten to death. How did he report his illness?"

Concubine Zheng stood there, feeling incredible. Although she didn't like Zhu Changluo, since the emperor had already made him the crown prince, she could only accept this fact no matter how she didn't like it. As the crown prince, his talent was beaten to death, but he did not hide it from it. What's the point of being so safe?

Could it be that Zhu Changluo beat him to death?

Concubine Zheng had to think so, otherwise, she would not be able to explain Zhu Changluo's abnormal behavior.

Seeing this, Liu Cheng took the opportunity to say, "Empress, I think that something big happened to the East Palace, and the prince dares to hide it from it. It's really unreasonable."

"What do you mean?" Concubine Zheng thought.

"The emperor must know about this!"

After saying that, Liu Cheng was already excited. If the emperor was angry at the Eastern Palace for this, then Liu Cheng would have made great contributions to the Imperial Concubine.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Concubine Zheng changed her color and scolded Liu Cheng: "You came up with this bad idea, do you think that the troubles are not enough in this palace!"

"Empress, I?" Liu Cheng was stunned, not knowing why he had just come up with a bad idea.

"The emperor cannot know about this, nor can the outside court know about this. Otherwise, they would definitely think that the person was sent by this palace!"

Concubine Zheng wisely did not adopt Liu Cheng's idea because she knew very well that as long as this incident spread, the civil servants from the outside court would definitely blame Wang Cairen's death on her. Some censors would even chew maggots and say that she wanted to kill Zhu Changluo, but the assassin accidentally beat Wang Cairen to death.

"No, I've never done anything."

Liu Cheng's master complained and felt very sorry. How could the Empress do not make any use of such a good opportunity to clean up the Eastern Palace?

"Won't?"

Concubine Zheng snorted coldly, "I just helped Lu Kun print this book back then, and the outside court almost said that my Zheng family was going to make a mistake and wanted to kill my Zheng family. Now, the East Palace has entered the assassination. What do you think of this?...I am now just being in a bad way and can take care of me in anything."

After hearing this, Liu Cheng did not dare to say anything, because he participated in the printing of the imperial concubine from beginning to end.

The book is called "The Book of the Bou Fan Tu", which was written by Lu Kun, the Minister of Justice who is as famous as Hai Rui and has always been famous. This book compiles the deeds of wise and wise concubines and wise women in all dynasties, one picture, one picture and one thing, and is published in public to educate women to know etiquette and keep the rituals.

Originally, this book had nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine. Later, it was seen by Chen Ju, the eunuch of the Sili in the Admiral East Factory. He thought it was well compiled, so he presented it to the Emperor. After reading it, the Emperor also felt it was good and gave it to the Imperial Concubine.

The Imperial Concubine was just as good as reading. After seeing "The Book of Bouquet Fan Tushu", she praised it very much, thinking that the book is easy to understand and the truth is clear, and that it should be printed more women who are so popular with all over the world to read it. So she paid her own private money and asked Liu Cheng and his uncle Zheng Chengen to reprint it, and personally wrote the preface for the book, adding some legends.

Because the imperial concubine paid for the printing, the printing was very exquisite and the price was very cheap, which caused a sensation. But soon after, a minister named Dai Shiheng wrote a letter to the minister, who attacked Lu Kun into the "Boenix Fantushu", saying that Lu Kun wanted to marry the palace and hide evil intentions, and asked him to immediately make the eldest son Zhu Changluo the crown prince to defeat others' expectations. Fan Yuheng, the magistrate of Quanjiao in Nanzhili, even wrote a memorial to point out that the imperial concubine Zheng wrote a preface to the sealing of evil intentions and would have his ambitions.

For a moment, public opinion was raging, and everyone scolded Concubine Zheng for having ulterior motives. The emperor certainly ignored it after he found out. However, the matter was not over. Three years later, someone wrote a postscript for "The Book of Bouquet Fan Tushu" under the name of "Zhu Dongji". This postscript is also called "The Book of Worry and Wei Qian", which is full of thousands of words and black and white. It criticized Lu Kun for winning over the imperial concubine's throne, saying that the Concubine deliberately slandered herself as the queen. This "The Book of Worry and Wei Qian" was widely spread, and even known to both North Korea and Mongolia, and it was known to everyone in the world.

This is the case of the Demon Book. Three years later, Wanli finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the outside court and made his eldest son Zhu Changluo the crown prince.

If the Imperial Concubine had not printed that book back then, perhaps the Eastern Palace would still be in a slump today.

When Liu Chengru thought about what happened back then, the more he was a pity for the concubine. After thinking about it, he was still unwilling to give up and said carefully: "Empress, no matter what, Wang Cairen was beaten to death, but I am hiding the truth. The empress cannot let him."

"The affairs of the Eastern Palace are his Zhu Changluo, and I don't want to take the blame for him." After saying that, Concubine Zheng waved her hand to signal Liu Cheng to go down. She really didn't want to participate in this matter.

Liu Cheng had no choice but to retreat. Looking at the stars in the sky, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: The guards of the East Palace are so loose. If an assassin is really sent in, can he beat the young master to death?

He couldn't help but tremble. Liu Cheng himself was frightened by this thought and trembled. He couldn't do this, so he wanted to kill the nine clans!

Shaking his head, Liu Cheng no longer thought about it. The imperial concubine didn't care about this matter, so why should he worry? The Tianjin tax envoy Ma Tang and Eunuch Ma asked someone to bring him a message to him and want to enter a man named Pang Bao into the palace. He will go and see the person himself tomorrow.

Two days ago, Liu Cheng heard the letter and was ruined by Ma Tang's proposal to promote his writing. It was said that Eunuch Chen suppressed him. But even so, Liu Cheng did not dare to neglect Ma Tang. After all, this person is someone who needs to be used by the emperor. This time he was suppressed by Gao Huai, and he might be promoted next time.

Although Liu Cheng was a person around the concubine, his status in the palace was not high, so he did not dare to offend Ma Tang, a big man. After all, this person was one of the candidates for Si Li and Bingbi. In the future, Ma Tang could really become the eunuch of Bingbi, and Liu Cheng would benefit him a lot.

Thinking about tomorrow, Liu Cheng went to rest alone.
