Chapter 149: There is a problem with the private casting camp
"Beat me, beat me hard, until I'm crippled!"
After hearing the Fifth Prince's words, the usually timid Liu Yue actually protected Zhai Yun behind him. Zhai Yun said to the Fifth Prince, "Liu Yue is the prince of the Sky Ash Kingdom. Isn't the Fifth Prince afraid of getting into trouble and triggering another war between the two countries?"
The fifth prince seemed to have heard a joke.
"My Queen Mother said that Emperor Liuxi has been suppressing the Liuyue lineage since he ascended the throne. Liuyue's power in the Sky Embers Nation has now been completely destroyed. Who would care about his life or death? Let alone start a war for him?"
Queen Buyuluo has lived in the deep palace for a long time, but she still knows what is going on in the court of Liuyue Kingdom. It is really not easy.
When Liu Yue heard this, his eyebrows drooped. He had guessed this would be the result the moment he stepped out of Liu Yue Country. He had suffered all kinds of bullying and endured hardships. He finally had a small force of his own, which started when he stepped out of the gate of Liu Yue Country.
It is destined to be zero, pity for those who are loyal to him.
Zhai Yun noticed Liu Yue's disappointment behind her. No wonder they could bully Liu Yue so unscrupulously. It turned out that they had received the news. It seemed that Liu Yue's days in the palace would not be easy in the future.
"What are you waiting for? Take action now." The fifth prince shouted viciously.
There was no way Zhai Yun would allow them to bully her. She didn't dare to hit the Fifth Prince, but she could still deal with the eunuchs around him. Seeing them rushing up, Zhai Yun knocked them down in a few moves.
These eunuchs have no skills other than brute force.
The Fifth Prince was furious when he saw Zhai Yun, who still dared to resist. He pointed at the eunuch lying on the ground and cursed, "Good-for-nothing!" Then he pointed at Zhai Yun and said, "Just wait for me. I will tell my mother and let her punish you!"
He had seen Zhai Yun's abilities, and he knew he couldn't gain any advantage, so he took his men and left.
After seeing them leave, Liu Yue timidly glanced at Zhai Yun and said, "Thank you for today!"
Zhai Yun looked at Liu Yue and said, "You don't need to say thank you. We have a long life ahead of us. The Fifth Prince is a bit domineering, but he's simple-minded. If you offend him today, he won't be able to swallow this anger. He will definitely cause trouble for you again. I can help you once or twice, but I can't help you forever."
Liu Yue lived in the palace and met the Fifth Prince every day. Zhai Yun didn't know whether her action of offending the Third Prince today was right or wrong.
Zhai Yun remembered that Liu Yue had some skills, which he had never exposed. He also did not resist the humiliation of the Fifth Prince. He knew in his heart that he was now alone and weak and could only show weakness.
Liu Yue secretly glanced at Zhai Yun. He had not had a good life in Tianjin Kingdom before, and now he just moved to a new place to continue living. For him, it was never easy to survive.
He was already used to the bullying, beatings, and scolding from the Fifth Prince. However, he had to remind Zhai Yun, "Third Prince's affairs are not that simple. You have to be careful!"
The third prince Feng Chenmu? "Isn't he already dead? Is there something wrong?" Zhai Yun didn't expect Liu Yue to remind him to be careful of a dead person.
Liu Yue didn't seem to want to reveal too much, so she said goodbye to Zhai Yun and left.
After Liu Yue left, Zhai Yun went over the matter carefully. He and Feng Chenyi followed the clues and found the private foundry. They didn't find any clues in the private foundry's account book, but they found a letter with the third prince's handwriting. Everything seemed to go too smoothly.
In fact, it was not the private casting camp incident that completely brought down the Third Prince, but the fact that he was not of Emperor Xing'an's bloodline that was exposed. Emperor Xing'an would not have killed the Third Prince based on the private casting camp incident alone.
Zhai Yun stood there and thought about it carefully. There were actually many questions. The private foundry was casting weapons, so where did the weapons go?
Liu Yue reminded Zhai Yun to be careful, which meant that someone would cause trouble for Zhai Yun because of this matter. Zhai Yun suddenly realized that there were other people involved in this matter!
Who could it be? What were they forging weapons for? If they were simply forging inferior arrows to replace the batch sent to the Northern Wasteland, then logically the private forge should no longer exist after it was completed.
As Zhai Yun was thinking, she unknowingly walked to the imperial kitchen. This was the most crowded road, and Zhai Yun followed the flow of people and unknowingly walked here.
A delicate fragrance wafted out of the imperial kitchen. Just as Zhai Yun was about to turn back, she heard the sound of plates smashing on the floor and insults coming from inside the kitchen. "Don't you see what day it is today? Don't come here to cause trouble. Go away!"
People outside the imperial kitchen gathered at the door to watch.
A woman's sobbing voice could be heard. "Butler, please be kind. My queen is ill and urgently needs this medicine. Please let me boil it!"
"She is just an unfavored queen. Her life is not as important as today's banquet. If today's banquet is ruined, everyone in the imperial kitchen will die. Get out of here now." The sharp shouting was accompanied by a cry of pain.
The people outside the imperial kitchen dispersed one after another. A palace maid came out of the imperial kitchen limping and crying, holding a medicine in her hand. The people outside the imperial kitchen looked disgusted when they saw her.
The maid seemed to know that she was unpopular. She limped to the corner of the imperial kitchen and sat down. Her face was full of anxiety, and she kept muttering, "What should I do? What should I do? The queen will die without medicine!"
Zhai Yun was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs, especially those in the palace. It was just that she looked a little pitiful, and it was a matter of human life.
Finally, Zhai Yun couldn't help herself and walked over to stop in front of the palace maid. "What's wrong with your master?"
The maid saw someone standing in front of her and looked up at Zhai Yun. When she heard Zhai Yun's question, she stammered and cried, "My young lady is Concubine Yin. She has been coughing up blood for a few days. She has been running a high fever and unconscious since yesterday. She has been running a fever for a whole day and night. If this continues, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."
The maid grabbed Zhai Yun's feet as if she had grabbed a lifeline. "Please save my queen! She is still young. She can't die like this. Please."
This maid probably didn't even know who Zhai Yun was, so she hugged her legs and begged for help. It seemed she was really desperate. Most people in this palace were people who took advantage of others, and her master was sick and dying.
Even though she is not favored, she can still be dedicated and responsible, kneeling down to beg for her master. This palace maid is too loyal.
Seeing the maid begging desperately and the early hour, Zhai Yun softened her tone and said, "Take me to see it."
The palace maid was very happy after hearing this, and took Zhai Yun to the outside of the imperial kitchen. Men outside the harem were not allowed to enter, but the palace maid didn't care about anything else and took Zhai Yun into the harem from a place with few people.
Along the way, the palace maid told Zhai Yun many things about Concubine Yin.
