When Song Mi'er woke up, Shen Zhan was already standing in front of the bed and stretching out his hand, waiting for the palace maid to dress him.

The palace maids who served Shen Zhan to change clothes were all several elderly and cautious palace maids carefully selected by Gong Zhengsi. The emperor's change of clothes is such a thing, the palace maid seduces or faces the emperor to commit a taboo, which is an insult to the royal dignity, and if someone has bad intentions and hurts the emperor's life, it is the most important problem to pay attention to.

Therefore, the people who generally change clothes for the emperor are those old palace maids who are unwilling to leave the palace and have no opportunity to sit in the palace and wait for high-ranking female officials. They basically have no contact with the outside world, and when they become female officials who serve the emperor in the near future, they will no longer enter and leave the harem lightly, and they have no connection with the harem concubines.

Now the two female officials who are serving Shen Zhan in front of Song Mier have been serving Shen Zhan for nearly ten years, since he was still a prince, he has never made a mistake in the past ten years, and he has never said a word in front of the emperor, and has made more expressions and movements, in Song Mier's opinion, they are a little too unkind at a glance, and they are not pretentious to the concubines, and they may show a smile when they see Song Mier, and some low-ranking concubines, if anyone wants to take the opportunity to stay in the royal bed, they will also be mercilessly invited to persuade them to go out, without giving anyone any face, even if it was to His Majesty, Shen Zhan was at most a handful: these female officials are older than me, they have watched me grow up since childhood, and they are the most polite and polite, if there is anything wrong, it must not be their fault. After a few times, even the concubines who wanted to be obsessed with them were helpless, and when they saw these female officials, they only looked sad and returned to their bedrooms.

Song Mier sat on the bed, still holding a quilt made of fine mink wool that was as light as catkins but soft and thick, people had not yet eased up, they were stunned, and their eyes looked straight at several female officials busy in front of and behind Shen Zhan, sorting out the clothes and jade crowns for him, and when they saw Song Mier get up, they just temporarily stopped the work in their hands, respectfully blessed themselves, and got busy without distractions.

Shen Zhan saw that Song Mi'er was awake, his eyes were straight, and he rubbed the corners of his eyes with his hands from time to time, or covered his mouth for a while, and some tears appeared in his eyes, obviously looking like he had not slept enough, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Did I wake you up?" Shen Zhan tilted his head and asked in a low voice.

"No," Song Mier yawned again, "It was Rou Guiji who asked the concubine something yesterday, and the concubine thought that she would get things done this morning, so she said that she should get up early." ”

In fact, which emperor slept in the palace of his concubines, and when he was in the early court, the concubines didn't wake up before the emperor and waited for the emperor to get up, and then the concubines followed the female officials to respectfully serve the emperor to wash and dress? Some concubines also use this as a way to please the emperor, when they are waiting for the emperor to change their clothes, they show their tenderness and sweetness to the emperor in a thousand postures, and some can't get up, but they just get the emperor's permission once, even if they lie in bed, they have to be grateful for a thousand thanks, as for those who sleep in bed and die, and don't even know when the emperor will leave, basically it won't happen, the emperor doesn't call, and the female officials who serve the emperor will wake them up, how can His Majesty get up, The concubine is still sleeping in bed and enjoying? What's more, the emperor didn't allow people around him to wake up the concubine in order to take pity, maybe the concubine's ancestors burned high incense - generally which emperor cares about the feelings of the concubine, whether he woke up and got up to go to court; Otherwise, this emperor is amorous, and he is mostly pitiful; Shen Zhan's father was so "deeply rooted" for the concubine back then, and when he got up, he still didn't care about whether the concubine was resting properly, even when the concubine was pregnant, and the emperor still had to go to the concubine to stay there to show his favor, the concubine had to get up half an hour earlier than the emperor.

As for Shen Zhan, he didn't let the concubines have a good rest, and he had the habit of going to the court lightly, and it was not the duty of the concubines to serve the emperor.

But Shen Zhan didn't think deeply: in the past, he occasionally stayed in the palace of other concubines, and felt that it was a very normal and reasonable thing for them to get up in advance to serve, but now in Song Mier's palace, he felt that it was a very reasonable and normal thing for her to lie in bed if she didn't get up to serve. Shen Zhan didn't notice that the few female officials who were serving him in front of him didn't pretend to the concubines next to him, although they still didn't say much to Song Mier, but they were respectful, but this was not the reason why Song Mier was the queen, even when Song Mier was lying on the bed or sitting on the bed and talking to Shen Zhan who was standing, they didn't have a trace of discoloration. Although these female officials are strict and old-fashioned, which one is not a human spirit, although Shen Zhan did not say it explicitly, I am afraid that even Shen Zhan himself did not realize it, but these experienced female officials have long been clear, otherwise to Song Mier, how could she not be correct about her appearance and behavior in front of the emperor, but was surprisingly tolerant?

But these small details, Shen Zhan and Song Mier have not paid attention to them.

Shen Zhan saw that Song Mier got up so early for Wen Qingwan, so he frowned unconsciously and asked, "But what you said yesterday?" Since Gui Ji himself found out that something was wrong, he pulled the palace maid out to hold him accountable, and why did he use the Prudent Criminal Division, but what did Gui Ji say to you? ”

Song Mier smiled slightly, "Rou Guiji still wants me to intercede, begging me to be lenient with that palace maid, don't use the big punishment, how could it be that she deliberately let the Shen Punishment Division torture the palace maid, after all, she is the one who has served her closely, I see that she said it yesterday, she is still a little sad and disappointed, I think she was deeply hurt by this palace maid, if you are free, you should comfort and comfort her more." ”

Shen Zhan was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he nodded lightly, and then listened to Song Mi'er continue.

"I want to go to the Shen Criminal Division, but the concubine and the concubine both feel that this is arrogant, that is, there must be someone behind the palace maid, otherwise she is a little palace maid, and she has a great future of serving in front of her master, how could she do something to hurt her master's body for no reason? Presumably, someone made a promise or threatened to say this. Rou Guiji said that she had been locked in the ear room for many days, and she must have noticed something, but now she still did not let go of her mouth and confide the truth, so she thought of sending it to the Shen Criminal Division, so that they could interrogate it properly and catch the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Shen Zhan is indeed very fond of Rou Guiji, but this matter has only been in his mind, so he didn't delve into it, how to deal with it, he has his own queen to decide, after the grounding, Shen Zhan said bad things to Song Mier later, so coaxing, even if the grounding has not been lifted, Shen Zhan feels that this queen sister is slowly changing, more stable and more thoughtful. In this way, he can also deal with the affairs of the court with peace of mind, and the harem will be handed over to the queen, and he doesn't have to worry too much.

Song Mier saw that Shen Zhan didn't answer, so he knew that he didn't want to ask about this matter anymore, thinking of Shen Zhan's love for Rou Guiji in the past, and seeing his indifference at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. Song Mier shook his head, slowly got up, bid farewell to Shen Zhan, and prepared to order someone to take a cadre from the Shen Criminal Division and others to the Jinghong Hall to arrest people.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Shen Penal Division has almost become an ornament, the harem has just begun to be lively, the queen is said to be a kind and even weak inside, since the first emperor's concubine lost power, the Shen Penal Division no longer has the opportunity to exert its own light and heat, and with the allowance every day, it can only look for flowers and birds in the courtyard, so it is not lonely.

Hearing that the queen sent them to other concubines' palaces to arrest people, the people of the Shen Criminal Division thought that they had heard it wrong, and they checked with the young attendant who passed the word for a long time, and the young servant left impatiently, and the entire courtyard of the Shen Criminal Division was boiling, and everyone was gearing up, and some were busy asking who was arrested and what they had done; Some of them don't know that the thin-necked vase they are holding is crooked, the water goes straight into the ground, and the flowers fall everywhere, but people seem to be frozen, but they are thinking about what means to use when torturing prisoners, and if they have not practiced for a long time, whether the craft has become rusty; Others have gone straight to the interrogation room, and brought those torture instruments that were about to become moldy, polished and oiled over and over again・・・・・・ and the Shen Punishment Division, which was originally like a pond of stagnant water, is now like an exploding oil pot.

But this excitement and excitement did not last long, when the people of the Shen Criminal Division tried to suppress their excitement and excitement, pretending to be calm and harsh, scared away a group of palace people from the Shocking Palace, and came to the ear room where Yang Xi was imprisoned, when they pushed the door open, it was like a basin of cold water poured from head to foot, splashing their hearts with cold:

He's dead!

The palace maid Yang Xi, who was supposed to be interrogated, died!

It's dead!

Hanging himself from the cantilever beam.

The eyes are wide open, and the eyeballs bulge outward, and whoever looks at it looks like they are staring at someone.

The tongue was turned out, and there were saliva stains on the chest under the lips.

The whole face is blue and purple, and the original skin on the small face with the size of a palm can no longer be seen, and it is full of purple-red bleeding spots, which is terrifying.

The people of the Shen Criminal Division are all "old men" who have gone through strong winds and waves, and they have not seen any scenes, although they come to arrest people with high spirits, and are ready to torture and ask useful information to show their own usefulness and the benefits of the Shen Criminal Division, but now they find that people have long been hanged in the house, but they did not give the loss of being poured cold water to the table, and when they saw the terrible death, although their hearts were still a little trembling at first sight, but their faces were still calm, also scolded these little palace maids who were originally watching the excitement behind him: What are you yelling! Isn't it just a dead person? Are there any rules in the palace?! Shut up the miscellaneous family!

After finishing speaking, while despising those palace maids and young servants who had never seen the world, and muttering in his heart that it was not unlucky, three or five people stepped forward and took down the hanging corpse.

His palace maid hanged herself in her palace, and Rou Guiji came over with a pale face and hurried over.

The palace maid who had the vision to see hurriedly blocked between Rou Guiji and Yang Xi, and whispered to dissuade Gui Ji from going to see Yang Xi's corpse.

When Rou Guiji heard this, she began to weep. Yang Xi was originally the most powerful palace maid under her command, some time ago, I don't know what happened, I was replaced by Ruxi for no reason, but Yang Xi himself was assigned the task of embroidering clothes for Rou Guiji, staying in the ear room all day long, and almost didn't come out.

Yang Xi is clever, there are three points of laughter when you meet people, the palace has been good to her, and is willing to be close to her, Yang Xi is also a good communicator, there are a little bit of her inside and outside the palace, if she asks for a little favor, everyone is willing to help.

Suddenly, the honest and wooden Ruxi became a person who never left Rou Guiji, everyone was not only surprised, but also jealous and envious, and often looked for opportunities to exclude and rectify Ruxi in private, but Ruxi didn't say anything, and secretly wiped her tears when she suffered a loss, and continued to do the work assigned to her by the master. After a long time, some young or old palace people are a little unbearable, and feel that it is not as decided to serve the master, why bother to embarrass an honest person, but everyone has also worked hard to earn face in front of Rou Guiji, and now Yang Xi hanged himself in the house, as soon as Rou Guiji came, the people of the palace and the palace could not be afraid, and they all desperately rushed to Rou Guiji, and saw Rou Guiji crying sadly, and blamed Yang Xi in his heart, master, you are good, why do you want to hang yourself.

But there is also a flexible brain, thinking that Rou Guiji suddenly replaced Yang Xi with Ruxi, and locked her in the ear room, which is afraid that there is a lot of secret, and there are other palace people who are friendly, more or less heard a little wind, so he whispered to the people next to him.

But it was said that Rou Guiji got up in the morning, and was thinking about taking Yang Xi to the Shen Criminal Division later, how to not only pity the palace people, but also torture the master behind her from Yang Xi's mouth, and was unhurriedly tasting the porridge, but when she heard the palace people panic to report, Yang Xi hanged herself in the ear room!

When he rushed over, Yang Xi had already been taken down by the people of the Shen Criminal Division, and the palace people were all talking and looking at him in a whisper.

This is the second blatant death since entering the palace!

If it is said that the first palace maid Ah Ran can be said to have been killed and put in the queen's palace, but this Yang Xi is really hanged in the Jinghong Palace, unlike Ah Ran, who is miscellaneous, the palace knows that Yang Xi is his own personal palace maid!

Rou Guiji suddenly felt that it was dark, and as soon as her legs and feet were weak, she was about to faint.

Rou Guiji forced herself to calm down, her eyes were red first, and she was about to check Yangxi's corpse, and said while shedding tears: "A good person, why would he say that he will die, yesterday the palace went to see her, and she also said that she wanted to make a new dress for the palace!" After that, he was a little anxious, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

The discussion of the palace people was quiet, although they saw the delicate Rou Guiji crying into tears, and they were a little unbearable in addition to the awe of the concubine, but they thought of how a good person could be locked in the ear room, so they all kept silent, feeling that there was something strange here, but they didn't know where the problem was.

Rou Guiji saw that the people in the palace had all become as honest and wooden as Ruxi, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she didn't answer her words, and she didn't know why Yang Xi died, who said something to her? Or did she not commit suicide at all, between the lightning and flint, Rou Guiji thought about 11,000 things, and she was inexplicably a little scared in her heart, and she was stunned for a while, and her steps were a little hesitant.

At this time, the Shen Criminal Division, who was good at interrogation and arrest details, found a letter with several creases pressed by the square stool from under the square stool used to step on his feet before Yang Xi hanged.
