The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 55 Ascending and descending
Feng Jin walked into the house and looked at the woman who filled the room, and finally stopped on the queen, "Get up."
Walking to the top and sitting down, Feng Jin said expressionlessly: "I heard that the Queen was interrogating criminal slaves today, and just happened to pass by to take a look, you continue."
The queen was stunned, not knowing what the emperor meant.She couldn't help but glance at Zhuang Luoru, or did the emperor care about Zhuang Luoru's children?
"Emperor, the concubine has found out that two of the five people here have contact with the people in the palace of Shu Guifei, one has contacted the people in the palace of Rou Fei and Xu Zhaorong, and another one has contacted Yan Guipin and Zhuang Jieyu. I have contacted, and another person has contact with everyone in Shu Guifei, Yan Guipin, Rou Fei, Ye Shurong Palace. Only then did a slave refuse to plead guilty, and has been punished by the concubine according to the law. I have waited." The queen explained carefully how many slaves had a strong relationship with the palaces, but all the concubines who were named all showed injustice.
Zhuangluo's brows were slightly wrinkled. The queen's move actually pulled several people into the water. What's the point?Although there are no real good sisters in the harem, but it will not tear the face, the Queen's move is not sure if there are other plans or nowhere else?
"Huh?" Feng Jin listened to the Queen's words and glanced at the named concubine with interest. "Queen means that these people are suspicious?"
The queen gave a little blessing: "The concubine felt that all the sisters were dedicated to serving the emperor, and it was the best choice to wash away their suspicions earlier."
"The queen is polite," Feng Jin pointed at a court lady, "Tell me about which palace slaves she has been in contact with?"
"Returning to the emperor, this maiden named Xiaoju was on duty at the Shang Food Bureau. That day, she was responsible for serving Zhao Chongyi," Ming Lu replied. "This maiden and Princess Gui, Yan Guipin, Yan Guipin, Roufei, Everyone in Ye Shurong's palace had contact. The minions also checked the minions they were in contact with, and they looked at it without any doubt."
"Everyone is suspicious, everyone is not suspicious," Feng Jin looked at the queen with a smile, "then my queen, you come and tell me, who is the one who hurt Zhao Chongyi, or is it that Zhao Chongyi?" People are not among them at all."
The queen did not expect the emperor to speak so unreservedly, and she knelt on the ground.
The other concubines saw that the queen was kneeling and dared not sit down. They all stood up and held their breaths, of course, there was no lack of snickers in their hearts.
"I just say this, the queen does not need to be like this, I understand your heart." Feng Jin lifted the queen with one hand, glanced at the five minions, and spoke lightly, "Since these people don't admit it, they all died. Right."
These people have all been killed, how can they follow along?The Queen's heart shook, but she did not dare to say anything against it. She could only watch these slaves being dragged down.
Gao Dezhong led several vigorous eunuchs to drag these criminal slaves out. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Jingyang Palace, he saw Ye Ronghua and Jiang Xianpeng walking here.Ye Ronghua looked at a lot of restraint, and no one could see that she was still very favored Ye Shuyi in the harem a few months ago.
"Have seen Jiang Xianpeng and Ye Ronghua." Gao Dezhongli was not finished, Jiang Xianpeng saved his courtesy.
"This is Grandpa?" Jiang Xianpin, an unfavorable concubine, dared to put the master in front of the eunuch's director. She carefully glanced at the slaves held behind him and guessed something.
Gao Dezhong could not answer in the future, he heard Ye Ronghua exclaimed.
"Well, you are not the fellow of Mu Yue, the big maid next to your sister. I remember that you stole Mu Yue's bracelet and was blamed by the staff last year. What happened to you today?" Ye Ronghua pointed at Xiao Ju, quite puzzled. Looked at Gao Dezhong, "Duke Gao, what did she do?"
Gao Dezhong glanced at Xiaoju and paid a tribute to Ye Ronghua. "Thanks to Ye Ronghua for reminding the slave to report to the emperor, please let the slave resign." After that, let the eunuch behind him leave Xiaoju and turn around and walk back to Jingyang palace.
Ye Ronghua was even more puzzled this time. Looking at the enslaved minions and the small chrysanthemum left, he turned to Jiang Xianpin, "Sister, do you think this is?"
Jiang Xianpeng looked at Ye Ronghua's puzzled face and shook her head with a smile: "Ye Ronghua, I don't understand."
Before the two of them walked out a few steps, they saw an eunuch hurried out and said that the emperor wanted to summon the two.
As soon as Ye Ronghua and Jiang Xianbin entered the partial palace of Jingyang Palace, they saw that there were many people sitting in the house. Xiaoju knelt in the middle of the house and was in a state of embarrassment.
"Meet the emperor, the empress queen," Ye Ronghua froze, seeing her sister Ye Shurong also, and her face was very ugly, looking at each other inexplicably, but unfortunately the other party did not look at her, she had no choice but to retract her gaze.
"Ye Ronghua, did you just say that Xiaoju and the great maid beside Ye Shurong are fellows, but is it true?" The queen looked at Ye Ronghua.
"When I returned to the Queen, they knew each other, but I didn't even know the concubine. It happened that last year I heard that the big maid next to my sister complained that my fellow villager had stolen my bracelet. I still remember that my sister still blamed the concubine for making a big fuss, saying that it was just a misunderstanding. Later, the concubine never asked, why..." Ye Ronghua seemed to realize that the emperor and the emperor were checking something.
The queen glanced at the emperor and saw that he did not speak. Then she said, "Come here, and bring Mu Yue to Ye Shurong's palace." After saying this, the queen saw Xiao Ju's face changed, and there was a guess in her heart.
Zhuang Luoyan looked at the play in front of her with a sick look, but she did not expect that the relationship between the sisters of the Ye family was not as good as she had imagined. She could not believe that Ye Ronghua was so brainless and finished talking about what she should not have said. Before I realized what was going on.
But why did Ye Ronghua treat her sister and sister like this?
Less than a moment of incense sticks, Mu Yue was taken to the side hall, and Mu Yue kneeling on the ground and the pale master, Mu Yue knelt down unchanged.
"A good minion, don't you ask why Xiaoju is kneeling here, why did the emperor and the palace call you to come?" The queen looked at Ye Shurong with cold eyes, "Ye Shurong, this is the maid beside you, it is better to let her tell her honestly." The queen I didn't expect this to be related to Ye Shurong. Ye Shurong has been unfavorable all these years. Even if she is in Shurong's place, she has remained unknown. Even if the child fell in the past few months, she did not attract much attention from the harem. How did she intervene in this? thing?
Ye Shurong's lips moved, and he didn't open his mouth. Finally, he just glanced at Ye Ronghua.
Mu Yue knocked a head: "The emperor, the empress queen, and the slave-servant pleaded guilty. All this was because the slave-servant resented Zhao Chongyi's heart, and then let the fellow Xiaoju help and have nothing to do with my master."
"Do you have any grievances with Zhao Chongyi to make you do such cruel things?" the queen asked.
Zhuangluo's brow moved, was the queen going to dig her own black history?She glanced at Mu Yue, and her memory didn't have much impression of this maid.Not to mention this maid, even Ye Shurong didn't have much impression of her, so she never thought Ye Shurong wanted to deal with her.
"Several months ago, the slave-servant accidentally ran into Zhao Chongyi and was applauded by Zhao Chongyi for half an hour and knelt for three hours. That day was the day when the palace people visited the palace every two years, because Zhao Chongyi was so easy Unhappy, the slave-servant could not see her relatives, how could the slave-servant not hate." Mu Yue glared at Zhuangluo ruthlessly, "Because the slave-servant's humble identity, would anyone trample on it?"
"There are rules in the palace, and the slaves should be punished if they hit the master. Even if Zhao Chongyi's penalty is heavier, you should not cruel the emperor!" The queen said sharply. "Aren't you afraid of the emperor and the palace punishment?" You Nine."
"The slave-maid and her mother depended on each other for life. The mother had gone a few days ago. The slave-maid was alone. What other concerns did she have." Mu Yue finished, and suddenly tapped her head in the direction of Ye Shurong. The queen felt bad and could not stop in the future. The corners of the mouth and the ears pierced with red blood, and the body fell softly.
Several eunuchs hurried forward to drag her body away, and some maidens wiped the floor, but in the blink of an eye, a life was cleaned up.
Ye Shurong shook his body, slumped on the chair, and no trace of blood could be found on his face.
When the room was full of death, it was generally silent, and all the concubines bowed their heads, daring not to see the floor where Mu Yue lay.
"Well, now that it's here, let's do this." Feng Jin stood up and opened his expression blankly. "Ye Shurong was incompetent, withdrawn her Shurong title, and relegated to Qipin Noble, moved to Jingqiu Pavilion. . Zhao Chongyi was conceived successfully, and was mischievously framed by an adulterer, from Sanpin Chongyi to Zheng Sanpin Cultivation."
After finishing these words, Feng Jin looked at the queen again. "Now there are a lot of things in the harem. I am worried that the queen is tired. Princess Gui, Ning and Xian will help the queen manage the affairs of the harem." 'S face, "It's not too early, and I should deal with political affairs."
"Send to the emperor."
After the emperor was sent away, the emperor's back remained majestic, but there was still a sadness between his eyes.
"This palace is also tired, let's go back."
The concubines retired from their interest, and the queen was in a bad mood. They would not be stupid to commit a queen taboo at this time.
At the time of saluting, Zhuang Luoru seemed to see Ye Ronghua showing an unclear smile to Ye Shurong, but when he looked closely, he only saw Ye Ronghua ignorant of his anxious face.
Zhuang Luoru withdrew his eyes. Sure enough, there was no one in the harem who would not act.
Although the emperor did not explicitly count this matter on Ye Shurong this time, the reduction from second-grade Shurong to seventh-grade noble was enough to prove the emperor's view on the matter.
Ye Shurong's demotion was not good for Ye Ronghua. Why did she do this?
