Chapter 65

Qianlong stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Yan's white and pink cheeks, a touch of pampering flashed in his deep phoenix eyes, and he smiled lightly: "How can those little things of sesame mung beans be more important than Yan'er?" I don't want to see Yan'er upset about other things, you just need to look at me and think about me alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ‚iqugeใ€‚ ๏ฝ‰๏ฝŽfoโ€

As he spoke, Qianlong pressed Xiao Yan's head to his chest and said to her like a child: "The most important thing for me at the moment is to sleep with Yan'er. Well, close your eyes, if you don't sleep well at night, you will lose energy tomorrow. โ€

Xiao Yan was already a little tired, but under Qianlong's whispered comfort, she gradually relaxed her mind, snuggled into Qianlong's arms and fell asleep again, but she didn't know that she was about to face the most severe test and the most tragic palace struggle since entering the palace.

Qianlong gently patted Xiao Yan's back, patiently coaxed her to sleep, and rested with his eyes closed for a while, but after Xiao Yan's breathing became stable and long, he slowly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes contained stormy anger in them, where was there any sleepiness?

Qianlong cautiously raised Xiao Yan's head slightly, pulled his arm out from underneath, and tucked the corners of the quilt for Xiao Yan, and then got up in his clothes, covered the azure bed curtain, and softly called Qiulan into the hall to wait for him to change clothes.

Qianlong changed into a dark blue imperial dress under Qiulan's service, walked to the front hall and drank two small sips of the freshly soaked West Lake Longjing presented by Xueqing, and then passed Wu Shu to enter the hall to reply.

There was such a thing in Chuxiu Palace, Wu Shulai had already secretly cursed the initiator thousands of times in his heart, knowing that if Qianlong knew about it, he would definitely be angry.

However, in the face of Qianlong's inquiry, Wu Shulai didn't dare to hide half a sentence, so he could only tremble and tell Qianlong the truth about what had just happened.

Wu Shulai had already paid attention to this matter when he was dealing with this matter just now, and only gagged the two minions who had done ugly things and the palace maid who first discovered the matter, and ordered the three of them to tie their arms behind their backs and lock them up in the side hall for the time being.

In addition, Wu Shulai was shrewd and very skillful, which not only allowed Qianlong to quickly understand the ins and outs of this matter, but also tactfully showed that he had not interrogated the two minions who committed the crime privately, so he didn't know much about the secrets.

After listening to Wu Shulai's reply, Qianlong's face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "In this way, according to the castrated eunuch, he not only had an affair with the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace, but also had an affair with my concubine?" โ€

Wu Shulai wished that he could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it, so that he could stay away from Qianlong's anger.

"Emperor Qi, according to the palace maid who shouted before discovering this ugly incident, this is indeed the case. However, according to the simple view of the slaves, what these slaves who do not abide by the palace rules are also very likely to exaggerate and untrue. What the truth of the matter is, it should be necessary to carefully interrogate these minions to know. Please also take care of the dragon's body, don't be angry for these damn dog minions! โ€

Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The two eunuchs and palace maids who committed the crime, as well as the palace maid who first discovered this matter and shouted it, are all sent to the Shen Criminal Division, and I will personally investigate this matter." No one else was allowed to interrogate the three men. โ€

Qianlong unconsciously turned the Moyu wrench on the thumb of his left hand, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, "In addition, all the grandmothers, palace maids and eunuchs who witnessed this ugly incident today will be beaten with fifty boards, and those who are not dead will be pulled out of their tongues and thrown to the miscellaneous room on errands." The minions in this palace are really not rectified. In the past, I admired the way of governing the country of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, and I was too lenient with the minions in the palace, and they even forgot the palace rules of prudence in words and deeds. Take this opportunity, it's time to let the minions in the palace remember it for a long time! โ€

Wu Shulai's body shook and promised again and again, but he secretly thought in his heart: The emperor was even more angry than he imagined, but fortunately, he had a heart just now, and he didn't get involved too much in this matter, and took himself out in time, otherwise, if he was harmed by those two minions and knew what secrets he shouldn't know, he was afraid that he would also become a thorn in the emperor's side, not only might he be pulled out of his tongue, but he might even lose a small life unconsciously! It's just that I don't know how many people will be implicated in this scandalous incident. It seems that the sky is really going to change in this palace!

Qianlong responded to the three minions in his heart, and only felt that this matter was pressed in his heart like a thorn in his back. Qianlong, as a man and the king of a country with great power in his hands, naturally has the common problems of all men in the world, even for those concubines he doesn't like very much, he can't tolerate their infidelity to him.

Therefore, Qianlong did not delay, and personally went to the Shen Criminal Division that night and interrogated the three minions overnight.

In order to save his face, Qianlong naturally did not want to make it known to everyone, so when the three minions who committed the crime were interrogated separately, the guards standing around him and the people in charge of the execution were all Qianlong's secret guard cronies.

When the interrogation began, Qianlong's face was a little gloomy, but his expression was still calm. However, when the first palace maid to break through the incident told in detail what she had seen with her own eyes at that time, Qianlong's face suddenly became terrifying.

In this harem, which concubine's body matches the appearance described by the palace maid, Qianlong naturally knows. It is rare to have a beautiful appearance like Xiao Yan in the harem, and it happens that her body is a famous white tiger that is unique in ten thousand, which adds a bit of charm to her. Among the women in the world, the white tiger is naturally not unique, but in this harem, there is only Xiao Yan.

Qianlong's heart was shocked, only to feel a wave of anger rushing to the top of his head, and he actually threw the teacup in his hand directly at the palace maid, smashed it on her forehead, and suddenly opened a hole in her forehead, and red blood suddenly gurgled out.

Qianlong's face changed a few times, and he carefully asked the palace maid who was messing with the eunuch a few questions, and then his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the cold air emitted from his body made the secret guards with extraordinary internal skills and strong martial arts involuntarily shiver.

As for the eunuch who committed the crime, the first thing Qianlong did was to order the secret guard to directly rip off his pants, and when he saw that his lower body was indeed very clean, he snorted coldly and began to torture this person while strictly interrogating him. The ruthlessness of the torture surprised the dark guards.

You must know that Qianlong has always attached great importance to his reputation, so for the palace people who committed crimes, at most they took responsibility, and rarely used such ruthless lynching to extract confessions.

However, when they heard the confession of the eunuch after being tortured, the guards felt a chill on the back of their necks, and at the same time scolded the eunuch countless times in their hearts, eager to put him to death immediately!

Damn, this damn eunuch can just look for death by himself, and he actually said such a thing without dying, and even claimed that he had an affair with Concubine Shuniang! Dare to rob a woman with the emperor, and then dare to show off this matter to others proudly? Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be killed and can't even be said? Now it's good that this matter has been heard by other people, and it has caused a trouble!

However, then again, there are many doubts about what this eunuch said. Although his appearance is also handsome, and his figure is taller than other eunuchs, but, in the final analysis, he must be a castrated eunuch! That's a servant in the palace, and his status is not as good as that of the palace maid and the grandmother, what does he compare with the emperor who is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?

And Concubine Niangniang looks smart and clever, even when she just entered the palace and was not favored by the emperor, she should not have any ulterior entanglement with him, the eunuch. Even if the reason and experience of this eunuch really make people unable to find any flaws for a while, it is not enough to convict the concubine of losing her virginity.

Besides, if you agree to the emperor, but get together with a eunuch, even if they can only do some fake phoenix deeds, it is a stain that the emperor can't erase. For the emperor, don't say that you and that eunuch have done those ambiguous and ugly acts, even if it is just the skin on your body that is looked at, it is an unforgivable sin. After the incident, it will inevitably affect the family, ranging from dismissal to dismissal, and even more serious to the loss of life of the whole family. That lady is not a fool, can she not understand and see these things clearly?

It stands to reason that even the secret guards can see the suspicions, according to Qianlong's mind and thoughts, should not be impossible to see. It's a pity that at this time, Qianlong has been carried away by the fierce jealousy in his heart, and his heart is full of Xiao Yan's possible affair with other men.

Qianlong stared at the eunuch in front of him with tears in his eyes, personally picked up the barbed whip used for execution, and whipped it fiercely at the eunuch. It was only after he had been pumping his lower body, hands, and mouth that he stopped. After this toss, the eunuch has been drawn to a blur of flesh and blood by Qianlong, and he is not human.

The secret guard stretched out his hand to probe the eunuch's pulse, briefly checked his injuries, and asked Qianlong in a low voice: "Master Qiqi, this person's injuries are serious, and his tongue and hands are afraid that they have been abolished, if you leave it alone, you will definitely die in less than two hours." What to do with this person, please show the master. โ€

Qianlong hated this eunuch in his heart, but at this time, he finally left a glimmer of reason and ordered: "For the time being, hang his life with ginseng, don't let him die!" Dare to do such a bold and ugly thing, if he is easily allowed to die like this, wouldn't it be too cheap for him! โ€

At this point, it's almost time. Qianlong simply returned directly to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, and he didn't even have an appetite for breakfast, but just closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then Wu Shulai waited for him to change his court clothes and went to the court.

So, the ministers who participated in the court meeting today found that the emperor's face was extremely gloomy, his eyebrows were full of anger, and his deep and dark phoenix eyes were full of sharp killing intent, and his heart was shaking fiercely.

The ministers all know that now the emperor is obviously full of anger and has not yet vented it, and there will always be someone to bear the emperor's anger. It's just that they won't think about being the emperor's punching bag unless they are crazy, so even Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng, who were supposed to start playing, temporarily dispelled the idea of presenting the music in their arms. It's true that he is a loyal minister and a direct minister, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have the brains to rush to the emperor to find a scolding!

Liu Tongxun and Fu Heng didn't move forward, and the other ministers didn't have the idea of wanting to play the book. As a result, the process of this court meeting was very simple, and the speed was unprecedentedly fast, and it was only a quarter of an hour before and after, and the court meeting ended in the sound of retreat shouted by the eunuch's shrill voice.

Qianlong really didn't have any intention of dealing with government affairs today, he just needed to quickly find out what he cared about the most. Seeing that all the ministers were so knowledgeable and interested, Qianlong nodded with satisfaction, but secretly thought in his heart: These ministers are really smart, knowledgeable, and interesting, hum, even if you know each other, you didn't make trouble for me today, otherwise...... Qianlong's eyes flashed, and the flash of killing intent once again made the ministers panic, and secretly reflected on whether they had made a mistake, which made the emperor dissatisfied.

Xiao Yan woke up early in the morning and didn't see Qianlong, her heart sank inexplicably, and then there was an inexplicable panic, and an ominous premonition swelled.

Xiao Yan let Qiulan serve her to make up quietly, put on a lotus-colored flag suit with exquisite pomegranate embroidery, covered with a moon-white armor, and her long black and smooth hair was pulled into a pretty little head by Qiulan's dexterous hands, only with a set of purple head, and a mutton fat white jade bracelet on each of her snow-white wrists, and asked unintentionally: "When did the emperor leave the body and hall?" โ€

Qiu Lan saw Xiao Yandai's eyebrows frowning slightly, and there was a faint sorrow between her eyebrows, so she couldn't help but persuade: "After โ–กโ–ก mother fell asleep yesterday, it didn't take long for the emperor to get up, thinking that there was an important government affairs to deal with, so he returned to the Palace of Heart Cultivation." โ€

Although Qiulan hid the scene of Qianlong's thunderous anger last night because of what happened in Chuxiu Palace, Xiao Yan still guessed a little truth. It must be what happened in Chuxiu Palace last night that Qianlong was very concerned, so he rushed to deal with it overnight, otherwise, how could Qianlong not even wait for the middle of the night?

To be able to make Qianlong care so far, this matter must not be a trivial matter. In the inner courtyard of this deep palace, what happened that would provoke the palace maid Yu Shen to scream in the middle of the night, and provoke the onlookers and shouts of the palace people?

The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more she tightened her eyebrows, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Therefore, at the time of breakfast, Xiao Yan due to poor appetite, only drank a small half bowl of red bean longan lotus seed porridge and stopped, in order to divert his panicked thoughts, Xiao Yan ordered the nurse to hold Yongqi and Yongying to her side, first each hugged the two big babies for a while, and then did it herself, with the colored paper used for paper-cutting to make two simple colorful winds to tease the two babies to play.

Yongqi and Yongying were obviously very interested in the colorful wind turn that their mother had made, and they stretched out their little hands to catch the wind turn, and the mother and son laughed happily.

When Qianlong strode into the body and hall, he saw such a warm scene. As soon as Qianlong saw the beautiful mother and son in front of him, his face unconsciously softened, but in an instant, Qianlong sounded the ugly thing that happened last night, and his heart became hard again, and his heart even hurt like a pinprick because of strong jealousy and anger.

Xiao Yan heard Qianlong's familiar footsteps, and raised her head happily, "The emperor is back......

Xiao Yan saw Qianlong's cloudy face, and the previous feeling of uneasiness and panic surged up in her heart again, and she hurriedly got up and made a blessing to Qianlong in an orderly manner, and said softly: "The concubine heard Qiulan say that the emperor got up early last night, but he didn't rest well?" Does the emperor's headache hurt? Do you need a concubine to press your forehead as the emperor? โ€

The system also reminded Xiao Yan worriedly: "The master should be careful, I have detected that Qianlong's favorability towards the master is currently in an extremely unstable state, maybe something big related to the master suddenly happened, or Qianlong has some misunderstanding of the master, so this situation will occur." This situation is very tricky, if it is not handled well, resulting in a significant drop in favorability, it will seriously affect the safety of the owner, and even the corresponding rewards obtained before will be banned from using it! The master must be careful to deal with it! โ€

Qianlong looked at Xiao Yan's respectful and submissive smiling and caring words, and when he thought about what the eunuch said, his heart was even more complicated.

Qianlong pursed his thin lips and looked at Xiao Yan, and ordered the nurse to take the fifth and sixth elder brothers down to rest for the time being, and then retreated from Qiulan and Qiuyue, who were serving in the palace, and turned around the hall twice, the sharp phoenix eyes stared at Xiao Yan's clear eyes tightly, and suddenly asked: "When Yan'er was just canonized as a promise, there was a period of time that was not good?" At that time, did anyone help Yan'er? โ€

Xiao Yan couldn't understand what she meant, and couldn't guess Qianlong's thoughts, so she could only try to recall the things she had told her when the painting was still by her side, and after the system confirmed that it was true, she replied honestly: "At that time, the life of the concubine was indeed not as comfortable as first, but it was not a bad life." In any case, the life of the concubine after entering the palace is much better than when she was in her mother's house before, at least no one scolded the concubine. As for those who have helped concubines...... The concubine vaguely remembered that there was a little eunuch named Xiao Fangzi, who was a little fellow villager who served the painting. According to what the waiter said, Xiao Fangzi once helped the waiter take two antipyretic medicines from the Tai Hospital when the concubine was sick in bed with wind and cold. As for the rest, there is nothing. โ€

When Qianlong heard Xiao Yan mention Xiao Fangzi's help in getting the medicine, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he suddenly asked, "The medicine...... Have you eaten it? โ€

Xiao Yan nodded inexplicably, "Eat, the waiter said, those medicines have excellent efficacy, after the concubine takes them, she will sweat every time, and the heat will soon subside, and then people will be more awake, not as dizzy as before, often lying on the bed in a daze for most of the day." โ€

Qianlong glared at Xiao Yan and laughed angrily, "Ignorant stupid woman, anyone dares to take the medicine given to you indiscriminately!" Do you know what the damn eunuch did while you were asleep? โ€

Xiao Yan was stunned by Qianlong's scolding, and then a warning from the system sounded in her mind, "Master, master!" Qianlong, who didn't know what kind of wind she smoked, actually fell to -20 points in favor of her master! It's like falling into the rhythm of the sky! Now, not only are the prizes and permissions that the owner got before frozen and cannot be used for the time being, but if the score continues to drop, it will threaten the master's life! โ€

Qianlong said as he threw a confession on Xiao Yan, "You dare to let that lowly eunuch touch your body, you really deserve to die!" โ€

Xiao Yan quickly read this confession, only felt that she had been caught by a well-designed and insidious trap, and heard that Qianlong was so accusing her, she was aggrieved and disappointed in her heart, her eyes widened with tears, she looked at Qianlong honestly, and explained seriously word by word: "Your Majesty, there is no concubine!" This is a false accusation of slander out of nothing, please believe in the concubine! โ€
