Chapter 26

Of course, Pan Chen didn't naively think that Li Quan's matter was intervened in the investigation, and he could really bring down the role of Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu pushed the perpetrator out of the investigation as soon as she was investigated, and Mama Zhao took all the blame on her, and the reason given was a little ridiculous, saying that Li Quan had a verbal assault on her, and did not apologize, she always held a grudge in her heart, and that day she went to the Inner Court Division to spread the will of Concubine Shu. Listening to the little eunuch of the Inner Court Division talking about Li Quan being locked up in a dark room dedicated to punishing slaves and maids who made mistakes, Mama Zhao wanted to take this opportunity to teach Li Quan a lesson, and teamed up with the guards to get Li Quan out, and then worked together to kill him and throw him into the well. No matter what the Inner Court Division asked, Mama Zhao always bit herself to death and did not reveal any other clues, and the guard who conspired with her, after being caught, also committed suicide in prison because of guilt, which was arranged so reasonably.

Chief Manager Zhao of the Inner Court Department personally came to the Roufu Hall to report the case to Pan Chen, but the result was not as Pan Chen expected, and Chief Manager Zhao said:

"Mama Zhao holds a grudge because Li Quan disrespects him, which is also human nature."

Pan Chen nodded in agreement: "Yes, what Mr. Zhao said is good, it's just human nature." I will also supervise those around me from now on, so that they will not be treated with contempt, lest they lose their lives as if they were like this again. ”

Manager Zhao smiled, wiped the sweat from his head, and said a few words of compliment to Pan Chen, and then knelt down and left the Roufu Palace.

Yueluo and Zhang Neng came over, and Zhang Neng was a little upset for Li Quan: "What kind of grudge, how long has Mama Zhao been serving in the palace, if everyone who doesn't respect her is killed, wouldn't everyone in the palace be dead." ”

Yueluo didn't dare to comment, Pan Chen looked at Zhang Neng's face full of dissatisfaction, and had the intention to educate:

"There are some things, you just know it in your heart, you don't have to say it, the hierarchy and humility in the palace have always been a cannibalistic rule, and the officials and universities crush people to death, this is the truth, you must take Li Quan's matter as a warning in the future, be careful everywhere, and now our Roufu Hall has stood on the cusp of the storm, act and speak more low-key, don't pay attention to the idle things in the palace next to you, and there will be nothing wrong with self-denial."

Pan Chen's words made Yueluo and Zhang Neng both respectfully accept, the two of them just knelt down, and before they began to express their determination and make a guarantee, they saw Qi Mozhou walk in from the palace gate, Pan Chen wailed in his heart, but he could only helplessly meet it, thinking about what way to make Qi Mozhou's problem of not entering the door change, every time it suddenly appeared like this, it was really a heart attack that scared him out.

"See the Emperor."

Pan Chen felt that he and Qi Mozhou were really incompatible, every time he saw him, it was when he had something to do, either eating or writing, this time it was good, but when she was training people, he appeared.

Qi Mozhou seemed to be in a good mood, walked up to Pan Chen and raised his hand, asked her to get up, and then said to Yueluo and Zhang Neng, who were still kneeling on the side:

"Your mother's words are right, you need to remember the lesson."

Yueluo and Zhang Neng suddenly rose from the original eighth-level defense to the first-level defense, their heads were like pounding garlic, like that, it was as if they had been trained by Qi Mozhou, it was the result of their ancestors eight generations burning high incense and green smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb, □□ Yao, Pan Chen felt a little sad.

After Qi Mozhou said this, he walked into Pan Chen's dormitory, Pan Chen had no choice but to follow, thinking that Qi Mozhou was interested, but he didn't expect that he just sat in the hall and drank tea this time, and made an unprecedented evaluation of the tea in Pan Chen's palace:

"Although this tea is refreshing, don't drink it every day, why don't you drink the tea that I asked the Cabinet Division to send you?"

Pan Chen thought for a while, stepped forward and replied: "Back to the emperor, the concubine doesn't like to drink tea, so she took it to make tea shortbread and tea eggs for the imperial dining room." ”

Qimo Prefecture: ......

Seeing that he didn't speak, Pan Chen thought that he didn't believe it, and hurriedly took out a pair of white gold plates with flowers and wealth from the long case behind him, which looked like green delicate tea shortbreads, Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen, and saw that her eyes were full of expectation, and her black and bright appearance was particularly attractive, so he reached out and took a piece of tea shortbread, took a bite, and made an evaluation:

"It tastes good."

Pan Chen saw that the boss liked it, and put down his hanging heart, he originally planned to hide it and eat it slowly, but now he didn't dare to be selfish, and put it aside for Qi Mozhou to enjoy, fortunately, Qi Mozhou's focus was not on the tea shortbread, even the one that only took a bite was put down, Pan Chen likes to eat sweet, so he deliberately made the imperial dining room double the honey, Qi Mozhou doesn't seem to like sweet very much.

"I've read the summary of the case of the Inner Court Division, although there are still doubts, but I don't plan to delve into it, you should be able to think of the reasons, do you have any opinions on this?"

Pan Chen immediately shook his head like a rattle: "There is no opinion, the concubine has no other opinion." The summary of the case of the Inner Court Division, the concubine felt quite right. ”

In fact, she just wanted to rescue Li Quan, and she didn't mean to kill Concubine Shu, and the emperor obviously didn't want to kill Concubine Shu at this time, so the summary of the case that was obviously full of loopholes but just right was the most suitable.

In the past two days, Pan Chen has experienced the feeling of being a favorite concubine, to be honest, in addition to the pressure, she really hasn't experienced any pleasure or feeling, it's like swallowing a lump of ice, she can't go up, she can't come down, she has to bear the warmth and cold.

Qi Mozhou saw through Pan Chen's careful thinking at a glance, his lips unconsciously showed a smile of unknown meaning, Pan Chen's scalp was numb when he saw it, Qi Mozhou folded his hands, and asked leisurely:

"How can you guess that someone from Yongning Palace did it?"

Pan Chen's back tightened, intending to cover up the past, but when he saw Qi Mozhou's sharp eyes, he was so frightened that he quickly dispelled the careful thinking of the past, and told Qi Mozhou selectively and truthfully:

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid is also holding the idea of trying it, after Li Quan disappeared, the concubine looked around for a long time and didn't find it, if there is no around, it must be in the side of the courtyard, looking at the entire harem, everyone has not been in the palace for a long time, and the terrain in the palace is not as familiar with the people in Yongning Palace, the concubine thought like this, so he let people go to the side door to stare at it, but I didn't expect that it was Li Quan's life that should not be killed, really to Zhang Neng They met the sneaky Zhao Mama, all the way, followed the past, and rescued Li Quan."

Pan Chen's words echoed back and forth, there was nothing wrong, it just covered up that she noticed something wrong from Concubine Shu's uneasy expression, because she couldn't explain psychology and micro-expressions to Qi Mozhou, there was no basis, it was possible that if she said it, it would be regarded as a demon, Pan Chen didn't want to take this risk.

Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen from top to bottom, nodded, and said, "Very good, you are very smart." With this, you have accurately found a way out, and looking at the entire harem, no one can match you. ”

For the boss's false praise, Pan Chen chose to be modest:

"No, no, no, the concubine is just trying her luck, her brain is very stupid, and she is not smart at all." I vaguely felt that what Qi Mozhou was going to say next had the meaning of wanting to trap Pan Chen, and generally good words were followed by a 'but', and Pan Chen immediately became vigilant.

Qi Mozhou didn't sell anything to her, and said directly:

"In my harem, I feel very relieved to have someone as smart as you. At the beginning of the founding of the Qi family, it was an eventful time, I was still unable to deal with state affairs, and I didn't want to pay more attention to the affairs of the harem, the queen mother was a paper tiger with a strong heart, and the most important thing was that I didn't believe her, but helplessly, she was my mother-in-law, the wife left by the first emperor, and the middle palace was uncertain for a day, she would control the harem for a day, even if there was nothing to do, I also felt upset...... Meaning, do you understand? ”

Pan Chen's whole person has been petrified, Qi Mozhou's words are similar to Medusa's eyes, they can make people lose their ability to act.

After standing stiff for a long time, Qi Mozhou did not urge, only drank tea by himself, and waited for Pan Chen to slowly dissolve himself.

Pan Chen tentatively whispered to Qi Mozhou: "What does the emperor mean, the concubine...... I don't really understand. ”

To Pan Chen's ears, what Qi Mozhou said just now was as ridiculous as a senior president saying to a small employee of a department that he expected her to overthrow the chairman.

Seeing Pan Chen like this, Qi Mozhou's two eyes widened, black and bright like paint, hooking his evil fire, stood up, led Pan Chen to the bedroom, and said as he walked:

"You don't understand, I'll explain it to you slowly."

The door of the bedroom was closed, and Pan Chen wanted to cry without tears.

***

Yueluo was holding a tray, on which there was re-brewed tea, and two plates of cut melons and fruits, which were about to be sent into the dormitory, but were stopped by Li Shun, who was guarding under the corridor, glanced at the tray in Yueluo's hand, compared her inside, and shook her head, Yueluo was stunned, and then understood what Li Shun meant, and her face showed joy, Li Shun asked her to take these melons and fruits to the rest room in the south, the emperor and Pan Zhaoyi did things, and it couldn't end for a while, and the things sent by Yueluo happened to honor him at that time.

After eating a piece of melon and fruit, Li Shun lifted the lid of the tea bowl, looked inside, and couldn't help but say: "Ouch, I said that you are not sensible, the first two times are just enough, didn't the Inner Court Division just bring you tea leaves, why do you still make this kind of tea for the emperor to drink?" I don't feel cold either. ”

Yueluo smiled helplessly: "Father-in-law, don't blame, last time the Inner Court Division sent tea, my mother said that she wanted to eat tea shortbread and tea eggs, so she asked the slave maid to send it to the imperial dining room to make snacks. ”

Li Shungang took a sip of this peppermint tea, and before he could swallow it, after listening to Yueluo's words, a mouthful of water squirted out, and the water choked into the trachea, coughing so red that his neck was thick, and he finally relieved his breath, and said to Yueluo bitterly:

"That's a Jiangnan tribute, all of them are the new sprouts that pinched the old sprouts, the best of the best, this year Jiangnan sent a total of more than five catties, Taihe Hall left two catties, and two catties were rewarded by the emperor, and the remaining one catty was sent to your Roufu Palace, one or two is worth less than 100 gold, you said that your mother took this kind of tea that can be used as gold to make tea shortbread and ...... Tea eggs? ”

Li Shun only felt that he was trembling in distress, and his breathing was about to be uncomfortable, who was the violent thing talking about? Isn't that Pan Zhaoyi of this Roufu Palace?
