187. Chapter 186

An Sui didn't bother to pay attention to these trivial matters, and after five months, Gongsun Luo's condition began to come and go, sometimes better, sometimes not good. An Sui secretly checked Weiyang Palace up and down, but still found nothing.

However, a few little palace maids sometimes talk in private that there seems to be some haunting in Weiyang Palace, and some strange voices can often be heard. There was also a little palace maid who was frightened crazy that night and was thrown out.

The people in the palace began to say that Concubine Ning Guifei, who used to live in Weiyang Palace, was troubled, and some said that the Ban family came to seek revenge from An Sui, etc., and they always said anything. Ji Xuan's far-sighted discussion was not in shape, so he forcefully suppressed these rumors. An Sui was on the move.

Although I can't say anything, I always feel that this so-called "haunting" seems to have something to do with Gongsun Luo's condition. So he ordered Zhang Yan to strictly investigate the suspicious palace maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace.

Zhang Yan quickly reported the suspicious two little eunuchs to An Sui, this one is called Xishun, who was the eunuch in Qiao Qiao's palace in the past, and was later kicked out by Qiao Qiao for stealing things. I don't know why, so I pointed to the Weiyang Palace to serve.

When An Sui heard this, his face sank, "The people of this Internal Affairs Bureau are becoming more and more capable, and this is the kind of person who dares to send them to this official?" Qiao Qiao and A Luo are also a little bit of a personal vendetta, and they are indeed a little suspicious. ”

Gongsun Luo was humiliated by Qiao Qiao, and when Gongsun Luo came to serve in the palace, he won Ji Xuanyuan's favor and handed over a lot of things to Gongsun Luo. Qiao Qiao, as a concubine, sometimes came to the Qinzheng Palace to ask for peace, but she was more or less caught by Gongsun Luo to snatch a few words or make a little stumbling or something like that. The grudge between these two people has long been not a day or two.

What's more, Gongsun Luo's illness is also the period of autumn hunting, and Gongsun Luo secretly made a little stumbling block for Qiao Qiao before, so that she lost the opportunity to accompany Qiu Hunt, and later both of them were in the palace. If Qiao Qiao didn't do it, I'm afraid it can't be regarded as completely innocent.

An Sui asked, "What about the other one?" ”

"There is another one named Meng Sheng, the lower official checked the details, and it turned out to be from the Gongsun family, and he was later sent in to be a eunuch." When Zhang Yan said this, he had doubts in his heart, and after thinking about it, he decided to say it and tell SΓΉ Ansui, "My lord, don't say that the officials are too careful, but this matter is really strange. This Meng Sheng came to the palace in the same year as A Luo, but the two have never crossed paths before. Xia Guan also asked, and Ah Luo didn't know that the family had sent this Meng Sheng in. I only found out after meeting with my family after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Later, Meng Sheng was transferred to Ah Luo's side to serve. You said that after he came, Arlo became ill, is this too much of a coincidence? ”

An Sui listened to it and felt that this matter was really a coincidence.

Zhang Yan continued, "Although Xishun is also a little suspicious, Qiao Wanyi is still a concubine, and the emperor has severely punished several concubines for your affairs, which has long shown that the emperor attaches great importance to female officials. She won't want to hit the muzzle, not to mention that the emperor doesn't favor her, and the current situation is not very good, I heard that even several of Zhou Wanyi's palace maids dare to be disrespectful to her now. ”

A concubine does this, but it is really difficult for her.

An Sui remembered Ren Qiwan, and asked about her situation by the way, Zhang Yan said, "Ren Wanyi's situation is even worse, after she became Wanyi, the emperor has never been to her again." The emperor hates calculations the most, not to mention that Ren Wanyi still calculated on the emperor's head at the beginning, and the emperor may have long been disgusted with Ren. I heard that around the end of the year, even the carbon fire in the case was not sent, and this Ren was sick, and no one even went to the imperial doctor, but she was lucky enough to survive like this. ”

An Sui nodded, "In the end, it is the emperor's concubine, you go and talk to the Internal Affairs Bureau, don't go too far, don't lack a point that should be sent, otherwise if the emperor sees it one day, they will also be careful of their errands." ”

"Yes! Now it is Liang Jiu who is in charge of the Internal Affairs Bureau, he is a well-behaved person, and if the lord orders him like this, naturally there will be no mistakes. ”

"Liang Jiu? What about Huang Taoliang? ”

In the past, the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau has always been Huang Taoliang, how did he change to Liang Jiu so quickly?

Zhang Yan said, "Don't you know yet?" Not long after Ban went, the emperor also sent Huang Taoliang, this Huang Taoliang is a snob on weekdays, and this time he stepped down, how many people were desperate, so naturally he didn't have to turn over. I heard that on the third day after he was sent out, his body was seen in a mass grave, and it was said that he had been strangled to death. ”

An Sui covered his mouth slightly, "I deserve it." Liang Jiu is a little familiar, but he doesn't know which one it is? ”

"It's the queen's distant relative, the one with a little pockmarked face!"

An Sui vaguely remembered such a person, but he didn't remember his appearance very clearly, and vaguely remembered that he was also extremely capable.

"By the way, those two little yellow doors, you find a few reliable people to watch their every move, if there is any abnormality, come and sue me." An thought about it, and could only make this arrangement first.

Zhang Yan was about to go out, when he suddenly remembered something, turned back to An Sui and said, "By the way, my lord, yesterday Lord Liu Qin and Liu handed over the sign, and he wanted to enter the palace to serve, Concubine Xian Niangniang has already agreed, and it is estimated that she will enter the palace in three days." Do you want to prepare something? During the Chinese New Year, we haven't returned the New Year's gift from Lord Liu! ”

"Look at the arrangement! If Lord Liu comes to the palace, take some time, you can help me send a post to the past, and invite her to come to Weiyang Palace to sit down. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Qin came to the palace to serve, and now it is the second time, the first time is a year ago, just in time for the busy season in the palace, Liu Qin's entry into the palace is undoubtedly a great help to Concubine Xian, and even Ji Xuanyuan couldn't stop praising Liu Qin's ability at that time.

Indeed, after Liu Qin married the Chen family, he was also the head of the Chen family, and more than 100 people in the Chen Mansion were well organized, and they had an excellent reputation in the Chen family. The Chen family did not have a real housewife before, and Chen Sixuan only had a concubine to take care of the house. It's just that this concubine is cowardly and can't support everyone. However, Liu Qin went, and he governed vigorously for more than two months, and the rules that should be in place were all in place, and the rewards were clearly listed one by one. It supported the entire Chen family at once.

Now no one in the Chen family knows that the new Mrs. Chen is a female official who came out of the palace, acting fairly and decently, and governing the Chen family obediently. Previously, some people said that Jing Zhaoyin's son married a female official in the palace district, which was a pity, but now they all say that the Chen family has a good daughter-in-law, and no one is disrespectful.

An also teased her about this incident when she met with Liu Qin, and she was happy for her when she said it.

Liu Qin sighed after hearing this, "Where do you know my difficulties, after all, I am also the daughter-in-law who entered the door, and now that I have been married for two years, I finally got pregnant, but in the end it was gone." My mothers-in-law and a few women in the clan are all eager to give our father-in-law a few concubines to have sex with each other. Now that I am so aggressive, they still have to look at my face in many things, and they have to beg me for something, so they don't dare to give it away to our room. Sometimes I was annoyed by them, but I was happy to run to the palace and serve for a while. First, to be a companion with you, and second, to ask for a backer, won the appreciation of the virtuous concubine and the queen, and after I went back, those people in the clan didn't dare to look down on me too much. ”

Ann thought it was the same. If everything is going well at home, how can you be willing to enter the palace again to serve others.

"Isn't Lord Chen still protecting you?"

Liu Qin laughed and patted her hands, "You haven't married yet, so naturally you don't know the doorway." Xianggong also wants to protect me, but you also know that it is common for this man to have three wives and four concubines, which is a big problem in officialdom, if he doesn't have a few concubines. Xianggong is quite good, and he doesn't care too much about this matter, not to mention, there are some things you understand, he is reluctant to take a concubine. My father is not in a hurry, and he doesn't care much about my face. It's just that those long-tongued women in the clan are so annoying, they talk nonsense all day long, and sometimes they are kind enough to persuade me, but in fact, what they say is not that meaning. ”

An Sui touched her lower abdomen, "It's really a difficult scripture to read, you are calculating and calculating all day long, no wonder people have lost so much weight." ”

"Now I am also a wolf and a tiger in the past, and this belly is not angry, and I lost a child, and the doctor said that it would take two or three years to get pregnant. But my father said that even if the father-in-law really asked for a concubine, he would send medicine down, and she would not be allowed to give birth to the eldest son before me. Although Liu Qin said this, it was still difficult to hide the look of loss between his eyebrows.

In fact, women's minds are the same, no one wants to see their husbands still holding another woman in their arms, "virtuous" is often the heaviest shackle of women.

Liu Qin sighed, and said to An Sui seriously, "Ah Sui, if you marry someone in the future, you must marry someone who treats you well, 'easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare lovers' is really the truth of the world." ”

When An Sui heard this, he sensed that something was wrong, and asked hurriedly, "Why are you so sad, is it because Lord Chen treats you badly?" ”

"It's not bad!" Liu Qin was even more sad when he said this, "It's really good to treat me publicly, just because I refuse to take a concubine, how many men can do it." It's just that you know, the more he treats me, the more sometimes I feel like he's so distant from me. It's as if there's something between the two of us forever, and I can't seem to get out of his heart anyway. ”
