Chapter 59 On Punishment

"Dead again?"

Emperor Yongding was surprised and terrified, who did it, and was able to kill the only palace maid who knew before Mo Xiang investigated!

Mo Xiang replied: "This palace maid is mainly responsible for His Majesty and Niangniang's laundry, and she was killed after she was caught in the saffron incident. It was the queen mother who felt uneasy, so she ordered the servants to wash His Majesty's clothes again, and then the palace maid fell into a coma. ”

The clothes of the Six Palaces, especially all the clothes of Emperor Yongding, were re-washed one by one.

There were some people who had a slight complaint before, but everyone didn't expect to really find out the problem.

Emperor Yongding asked, "What about Wu Tao?" ”

The first thing he did after waking up was to ask Wu Tao to investigate the matter, but Wu Tao never replied.

Instead, there was no trace of it.

"Where is the whereabouts of Master Wu, only the slaves will know." Mo Xiang replied that Wu Tao had always come and gone without a trace, and he only listened to the orders of Emperor Yongding, so he would not tell him where he went.

Emperor Yongding rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, he was really confused.

Seeing this, Mo Xiang stepped forward to press his head for Emperor Yongding, and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Lord Wu must have found some important clues, and you haven't had time to return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry." ”

"The day after tomorrow is a small year, and it won't let people live in peace!" Emperor Yongding closed his eyes comfortably and let Mo Xiang massage him.

Mo Xiang smiled: "Fortunately, the origin of your coma has been found, and the minions can rest assured in the future." ”

Emperor Yongding still closed his eyes, and instructed lightly: "Let the eunuch in charge of the Huanyi Bureau go to the Imperial Division, as well as the Shangyi Bureau, plus the person in charge of my side." ”

Mo Xiang plopped down and knelt down: "Please spare your majesty!" ”

After digging deeper, Mo Xiang, as the personal manager of Emperor Yongding, will not be punished no matter what.

He might as well take the initiative to ask for punishment.

"What are you guilty of?" Emperor Yongding wasn't ready to blame Mo Xiang, so he naturally didn't think of that layer.

"Mo Xiang, as the chief administrator, neglected His Majesty's safety and put His Majesty in danger, and the slave really deserves death."

Emperor Yongding laughed when he heard this, "Come on, who will serve me when you die?" ”

"But I beg your majesty to punish me."

Mo Xiang's expression was solemn and serious, as if Emperor Yongding would not be able to kneel if he did not punish him.

"In that case, you will go to the court to receive ten boards and be fined for one year." Emperor Yongding looked at Mo Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Everyone else is asking for rewards, but you are good." ”

Mo Xiang lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing you." ”

When Chang Qing walked out of the Ye Ting Division with Mo Xiang, who was limping, he asked suspiciously: "Since Your Majesty has decided not to pursue your godfather, why did your godfather receive the punishment himself?" ”

When Mo Xiang begged for punishment, Chang Qing was also in the palace.

Ten big boards don't look like much, but they can make people lie on the couch for ten days and a half months.

Mo Xiang said: "Our majesty is very suspicious, and if you want to gain long-term trust, some extraordinary means are necessary. ”

Chang Qing nodded as if he didn't understand.

Mo Xiang looked up at the dazzling sun, but her heart was overjoyed.

Ruyan walked quickly in front of Empress Shen and glanced at her, and Empress Shen lost the mind to deal with the concubines.

She said: "The body of this palace is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't have much strength to talk to my sisters, and you don't have to worry about it in the future, everything is still in charge of the virtuous concubine."

The Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace and the Chinese New Year's Eve were all handled by Concubine Xian.

She was still a noble person before, and after Emperor Yongding went to her palace a few more times, Empress Shen promoted her to the position.

What Empress Shen likes to see is that the momentum of Concubine Shen Shu, who was born to Concubine Xian, has been suppressed.

But it didn't last long.

Concubine Shen Shu reluctantly glanced at the virtuous concubine who was still low-browed, and she was even more angry.

Yes, there is another hard stone that looks like a soft persimmon, but it is extremely difficult to bite!

The people in the palace all have vision, and when they heard Queen Shen say this, they knew that this was the meaning of disguised teasing.

After exchanging glances with each other, they said in unison: "The concubine retires."

Ruyan also stepped forward to help Empress Shen into the inner hall, and after she separated everyone again, she said: "Master, Wu Tao beside Your Majesty has found some clues, and when the matter is urgent, the slave and maid are good at making claims, and let people kill him."

Shen Yun bent his willow eyebrows and twisted his eyebrows, "How did he find out?" Isn't there no trace of the treatment at all? ”

Such as a smoke: "Master forgive sins!" The slave really didn't expect Wu Tao to find out the source of the saffron. ”

The records of the palace maid's duty and the traces left by the contact with the concubines have been erased, but Ruyan has forgotten the source of the saffron.

Saffron is often used as a harmful poison because of its medicinal properties.

Therefore, in the Great Qi Dynasty, buying and selling saffron required the government to file for the record, and ordinary people must not be able to buy it.

"What did he find?"

Ruyan glanced at Shen Yunqian timidly, "It is unknown what Wu Tao has found, but it is certain that His Majesty does not know." ”

Shen Yunqian's face changed, and he said, "Have you dealt with it all this time?" ”

"His body was buried in a deep well on the outskirts of the West City, and no one would find it. The third master arranged for someone to put on Wu Tao's clothes and go to the direction of Beixia, if His Majesty found someone, he would be furious after learning about it, and he would not think about it in anger. ”

"You must be careful when you do things in the future, if you are not careful, you will put yourself in a place of no return."

Ruyan knelt on the ground, "The slave and maid are taught, and ask the master to punish him." ”

Shen Yunqian pulled her up, "There is no punishment, but you must remember that you can't be careless in this kind of thing." Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, you just remember it. ”

Ruyan nodded, and repeatedly warned himself in his heart to be cautious in the future.

Outside, a palace maid said, "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Liang is here." ”

Shen Yunqian gave Ruyan a look, and Ruyan walked out quickly, inviting Li You to come in.

Li You strode in, took off the fox stump pleats that were covered by his clothes, and saluted respectfully, "Please say hello to the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed." ”

Shen Yunqian smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Like smoke, quickly put a stove on King Liang." Then he asked, "Is it cold outside?" Why did you have time to come to me today? ”

Li You took the hand stove, sat by the stove, and grinned: "It's the coldest when the snow melts, and the queen mother can't freeze." ”

Shen Yun smiled lightly: "I don't go out every day, and I let Ruyan do anything directly." The heavier the body, the more the man became lazy. ”

"The queen mother has worked hard."

Then Li You said with a little hesitation: "Queen Mother, Jing'an ...... her"

Empress Shen picked up the peony pattern teacup, took a sip, and said, "This matter is not something that the queen mother can decide, and it is useless for you to ask me to come here." ”
