What is written in the letter?

Could it be that he secretly drugged himself for the sake of the emperor's grace?

Is Yang Xi angry that he locked her up, so he wants to recruit himself even if he kills himself?!

Did Yang Xi commit suicide because he was afraid that he would be punished for betraying him? Will she shake out the drugging of herself for revenge?

Rou Guiji's heart was full of thoughts, and her heart was pounding with nervousness, and her eyes were staring straight at the Shen Punishment Division, but she didn't snatch the letter paper.

The palace man who was holding the letter also found that Rou Guiji's expression was wrong, and with more than ten years of experience in the palace, he didn't have time to think deeply in his mind, and subconsciously handed the letter to Rou Guiji respectfully.

Rou Guiji, who got the letter, suddenly felt half steady, and she also knew that her desire and urgency for the letter just now were too obvious, so she pursed her lips, stroked the letter paper, revealed a delicate, embarrassed expression, and said softly: "Yang Xi is a close attendant of the palace, in the past, she was lively and bright, and she did things neatly, and won the heart of the palace, and the palace also planned to wait until she reached the age when she could leave the palace, she would go to His Majesty Xià and the queen mother to ask for a reward, and the palace would find a good family for her. But I didn't expect ・・・・・・" as she spoke, Rou Guiji's words paused, revealing a regretful expression.

The people who submitted the letter immediately understood, and they all sighed and said, "Yangxi has a master like Niangniang, which can be regarded as her blessing, I think her life is thin, and she can't afford this blessing, so Niangniang doesn't need to worry too much." Between the words, there is no mention of why Yang Xi committed suicide in the ear room for some reason.

Although the Shen Criminal Division followed Rou Guiji's words and continued, it can be regarded as giving her enough face, but the people in the Shen Criminal Division are all old people who have been in the palace for some years, and they don't have to be afraid of a noble concubine who has just entered the palace, so after saying that, he stood aside respectfully, and had no intention of leaving. After all, it is also the last clue of Yang Xi's suicide, and knowing the information, he can go to the person above him to get his life back.

Rou Guiji couldn't avoid it, her heart couldn't help but be a little angry, consciously her legs were a little weak, she couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have drugged herself for the sake of grace, and regretted that she trusted Yang Xi and let her know her own plan, and regretted that after learning that Yang Xi betrayed her, she scared the snake, first let Yang Xi understand that she couldn't escape, so she left a suicide note to commit suicide・・・・・・ for a while, Rou Guiji's heart was in turmoil, and she thought that she had been in the palace for less than a year, It seems that those Qinggao have become unwilling, and their talents have become scheming, and they have dragged down their already weak bodies, but they don't seem to have won more pity from the emperor, and they have worked hard, but they are not as good as a little queen who has not grown up, and a Liu Guifei who has no talent・・・・・・

But the Shen Criminal Division and a cadre of the palace were still watching, this time Rou Guiji was really red eyes and nose, she tried to maintain the composure on her face, stabilized her hands, slowly opened the envelope, and unconsciously bit her lip, in the eyes of the people next to her, they thought that she had a very good friendship with Yangxi, and they couldn't bear to look directly at her handwriting.

It was only a blink of an eye to open the letter, but Rou Guiji felt as if she had lived a long life, and she slowly unfolded the letter paper, suppressed her eagerness and hurriedly browsed the contents of the letter.

No! No! Didn't write about me changing dressings!

There is not the slightest mention of the words and deeds about this palace!

Rou Guiji's hand holding the letter paper trembled slightly, and the strength of her heart was instantly deflated, and a big stone blocked in her chest also fell to the ground, and she began to be extremely glad again, fortunately, she won the pity of His Majesty when she entered the palace, and taught people to know that she is not easy to bully, otherwise with her family background, she would have been betrayed by the palace people under her head a long time ago, how could there be today's scenery, even the people of the Criminal Division saw that they had to give a few thin noodles. The most undesirable thing is that he shouldn't have let Yang Xi know too much, so that he let himself fall into a passive situation, but fortunately, he isolated her from the outside world in time, and gave her the queen's mother, it seems that between the concubine and the queen, it is right to choose the queen, just look at Yu Chi Yanran, but she was born beautifully, her family background is better, and she has no grudge against the concubine, the concubine sees her as if she can't wait to eat her, it is said that she met on the road yesterday, and people kindly invited her to enjoy the flowers, but she was arrogant!

Seeing that Yang Xi's suicide note did not mention his inappropriate words and deeds, Rou Guiji was still panicked and regretted just now, and instantly became extremely determined and happy, obviously he was still afraid that he shouldn't do this or that, but now he feels that what he did is extremely correct and deserved.

Unconsciously, Rou Guiji's shoulder blades relaxed, her back straightened, and she slowly looked at the letter again.

The people in the Punishment Division on the side had been waiting impatiently, and when they found the body, they should have reported it to the queen as soon as possible, but it was because the queen mother had sent them because of Rou Guiji's report, and because the dead person was said to be the powerful palace maid by Rou Guiji's side, they all gave Guiji a face, otherwise who would be waiting here, he would have gone to the queen mother to reply! What the hell is going on with this Rou Guiji! Reading a letter is also grinding and chirping, this woman is really troublesome!

The palace man closest to Rou Guiji in the Shen Penal Division looked up at Rou Guiji with a hesitant face, but saw that her pale face and eyes were wide open, full of disbelief, and her eyes quickly passed the letter over and over again, but her expression changed from disbelief to hatred and horror, and she muttered: "How could it be her?" It was her?! ”

The people in the palace of the Shen Penal Division were a little uneasy, and stepped forward and asked, "Gui Ji Niangniang, what is wrong with this letter?" ”

Yang Xi was about to be escorted to the Criminal Justice Division for interrogation, but she found relevant letters by her side, and the people from the Criminal Justice Department should have asked her.

Rou Guiji raised her head suddenly, Yingying's eyes were full of tears, she really could be called weak and pitiful!

I saw her grab the arm beside her, her voice trembled, and her face was uneasy: "Quick!" This palace asks to see the queen's mother! ”

・・・・・・

Song Mier was originally a lazy person and an impatient palace affairs, so in the past, the morning and dusk provinces were separated by each other, for example, after a month, there may only be the first day, the third day of the first month, the fifth day of the first month, the seventh day of the first month, and so on. When the rules were first set, the people in the harem still complained, feeling that the queen did not respect the rules of the ancestors, and casually set the palace rules by her own mind and identity, which violated the ancestral system, but seeing that His Majesty was not indispensable to this matter, and the queen mother not only did not blame, but on the contrary, the meaning revealed in the conversation seemed to be praising the queen for being flexible, so that the people below did not dare to say anything. As the days go by, everyone gradually tastes the benefits of this morning and dusk province.

Originally, I went to the Queen Mother or the Empress Chen Province or the Empress Morning or Faint every day, in order to show the transcendent status of the Empress Dowager and the Empress above everyone in the harem, and occasionally you may be able to meet the emperor of the next dynasty in the Empress Dowager and the Empress Palace, and maybe you can also win the favor of Your Majesty, the former is the harem everyone has to do for the rules, and the latter is to seize the opportunity that can be seized.

The rules of the province in the morning and dusk are changed, and the chances of everyone meeting the emperor in the harem are less than half, so naturally there are more resentments, and when the queen violates the ancestral system, I wonder if the queen is deliberately reducing the chance of being "discovered" by His Majesty, so that she can dominate the emperor.

With such an angry mood, after a few days of occasional morning and dusk life, the concubines gradually discovered:

It turns out that when I don't go to see the queen, I can sleep in my palace for a while and then get up!

It turns out that you don't have to visit every day, so you don't have to look at the faces you don't want to see every day, listen to the words you don't want to hear, and think about it!

It turned out that there was no need to rush to visit, and I could also leisurely drink a small bowl of porridge on the days that should have been morning provinces, and take the opportunity to watch the sunset on days that should have been dim・・・・・・

In such a comparison, I suddenly felt that the rules changed by the queen mother were really beneficial, especially now that it is approaching late autumn and the weather is getting colder, it is really not easy to get up early, as long as the palace maids around me are properly disciplined and do not let outsiders know that they will occasionally lie in bed, they can always take a nap beautifully. Sometimes when I think about it this way, it seems that it is not a big deal to have fewer opportunities to meet His Majesty. In this way, many people, especially those concubines who live far away, are grateful to the queen in this matter.

Song Mier didn't know that in order to be lazy and sleep more, she would win a group of supporters for herself, at this moment, because she didn't need to think in the morning, but because she sent the Shen Penal Division to the Jinghong Palace, she woke up early, but she refused to get up, and she was lying on the bed hugging the quilt and reading the small book bought outside the palace. Thinking that after breakfast, the queen mother got up, and it was time to go and say goodbye to the queen mother. If it weren't for the queen mother supporting herself behind her back, she let herself spend the days of being helpless and ignorant when she first entered the palace, I really don't know how miserable it is to be excluded by those people in the palace・・・・・・

It was in the middle of his thoughts that the bead curtain that had just been replaced with a string of crystal clear pink crystals and water sapphires moved, and Qinghe frowned and poked his head in.

Because of the new bead curtain with a high degree of obscuration, and added a vice moon Luo yarn outside, Song Mier in order to enjoy the hazy moon Luo yarn reflecting the "beauty like a flower across the clouds" between the bead curtain and the flowers outside, let people remove the original landscape screen early, and placed two half-person high round-headed thin jade porcelain vases on the edge of the bead curtain, filled with autumn flowers and green plants for the occasion, and at the end of the flower by the window, the water raised a green bamboo, but will change the luxurious style of the past, and with the high coolness of the autumn atmosphere, It shows a bit of airiness.

Because the screen was removed, Qinghe had just probed when Song Mier heard the sound and raised his head.

Seeing that it was Qinghe, Song Mier smiled and was about to make fun of her, but when she saw her frowning and her face was anxious, she couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qinghe lightly blessed his body recently, and his tone seemed a little anxious: "Master, that Yang Xi committed suicide!" ”

"Yangxi?" Song Mier stood up suddenly, half surprised and half puzzled, "Why did you kill yourself?" Didn't you go to the Penal Division? Could it be that the Shen Punishment Division used too heavy a sentence and was so unbearable that he chose to commit suicide? It doesn't make sense, isn't it that they are not allowed to use heavy punishments? ”

Qinghe's face fell, and he was a little embarrassed: "Master, the Shen Criminal Division didn't do it at all!" The Prudent Criminal Division went to the Jinghong Hall earlier today to get people, but when he opened the room, he found that Yang Xi was hanging on the beams of the house, and it looked like he had thrown himself up last night, and when he put it down, he was so cold that he had long since lost his breath・・・・・・"

The more Song Mi'er listened, the worse his face became, and when he heard that the person was put down, his whole body was already cold, and he couldn't help but shiver, turned over and got off the bed, and raised his voice to order the early sky standing outside to wait for her to change her clothes, and she was about to go to the Jinghong Palace to find out.

When Chukong heard the sound and came in, he wanted to choose some robes for Song Mier that were easy to walk, Qinghe saw that Song Mier was in a hurry to leave, so he sped up his speech: "Master, more importantly, the Shen Xing Division found a letter in the house where Yang Xi committed suicide, and that Rou Guiji's face immediately changed when she saw it, saying that she wanted to let the master make your decision, and now he has come to our Xuande Palace with the letter!" ”

"Huh?" Song Mi'er made a movement in his hand, and when Chu Kong saw this, he didn't step forward, but tilted his head slightly, thought about it for a while, put down the robe in his hand, and chose clothes for Song Mi'er again, Qinghe on the side also added softly, "I don't know what is written on that letter, Rou Guiji cried and cried all the way, and thought about asking the queen mother to make the decision for her," Speaking of this, Qinghe hesitated slightly, and then said, "This Yang Xi is the person who should go to the Shen Criminal Division today to interrogate Rou Guiji about changing the dressing, but he happened to commit suicide, I also found a unique letter by my side, Rou Guiji's expression changed greatly, and she wanted to come to see your master again, the slave dared to guess, what was written on the letter was probably related to the change of dressing, and maybe it also mentioned the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise how could this Rou Guiji beat gongs and drums all the way, so that the people in the palace would know that she had been wronged and hurt, and asked the master to be the master! Presumably, the person mentioned in the letter is not small, but he does not have the confidence of Rou Guiji, otherwise how could Rou Guiji act like this! ”

Song Mi'er listened, only raised his eyebrows and looked at Qinghe, and curled the corners of his mouth, "Qinghe is getting more and more powerful, just based on the information reported by the people in the small palace, you can speculate so many things, it seems that this palace will leave you in the future, but you can't do anything." ”

Qinghe was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly weakened his knees, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, "The master forgives the sin, it is the slave who has exceeded the rules!" ”

Song Mier glanced at the early sky that was still stunned, and raised his hand towards Qinghe with a smile, "When did this palace say that you were wrong?" You have done a good job, if everyone in the Xuande Palace is like you, the palace will no longer have to worry.
