The emperor was ill for a year and did not get better, and the festival was forced to be canceled; Recently, the Queen Mother has also lingered on the sickbed, and it seems that the Thousand Autumn Festival will not be possible. The emperor and the queen mother are sick, and no one in the harem dares to act publicly.

After dinner that day, the busyness of the divisions gradually subsided. Hu Zhenxia and others gathered in their leisure time to drink tea and chat.

"Sister Hu really ordered Zou Caiping's slut to pour swill?" Lu Xiurong took a sip of the cooked new tea, and the fragrance of the tea lingered and refreshed people's hearts. I can't help but sigh: "This year's tea is really good, and when you take a sip, your teeth and cheeks will be fragrant." ”

"Although I ordered it to go down, you also know that there are still a lot of people in this imperial dining room who are facing Zou Caiping. I'm afraid someone poured the swill for her, hum! "I get angry when I think of this Hu Zhenxia, she has been in charge of the imperial dining room for almost a year, but there are always a few people who don't have the same heart with her, and the current Qiu Zhangshan is one of them.

It is strange to say that Zou Caiping has been trampled into the dust, but she is not at the end of her rope. It is said that there is still the ability to fight the sisters of the division? Where did she get the money? "Zhong Chengbi has heard some rumors these days.

"Maybe it's the private money she's saved up over the years?" Wang Kewei couldn't help but excuse Zou Caiping.

"Joke! She entered the Criminal Division, and that little money should have been confiscated a long time ago! How can there still be a private collection? Lu Xiurong sneered disdainfully.

"No wonder I repeatedly made things difficult for her, but I didn't see her suffering, it turned out that the joint was opened by that slut! Damn it! Hu Zhenxia pulled the handkerchief hatefully.

"Could it be that she stole some treasure in the palace and sold it to get so much money? My sister can't tolerate her! This matter needs to be investigated! Lu Xiurong lost the melon seeds in her hand and said indignantly.

"What my sister said is that you can't just let her go! I'm going to go to Cui Shanggong to complain! Hu Zhenxia said and put down the tea cup in her hand and got up to visit Cui Xin.

"Sister, slow down!" Zhong Chengbi grabbed Hu Zhenxia's arm and dissuaded: "At the moment, we have no evidence, even if we sue Shanggong, if she doesn't admit us, it will be okay, but she will startle the snake." ”

"Sister Zhong is reasonable, Sister Hu might as well be like this......" Lu Xiu fell on Hu Zhenxia's shoulder and whispered for a while, Hu Zhenxia nodded while showing a sinister smile.

Hu Zhenxia and his entourage came to the courtyard of the third-class palace maid in the imperial dining room in a hurry, and kicked open the gate of the surrounding house where Zou Caiping lived. Several palace maids who were resting inside were taken aback, and when they saw that the person who came was Aunt Sishan, they didn't dare to breathe.

"The people inside are listening to us! Today, we found that a gold bracelet was missing, perhaps stolen by some messy thing with unclean hands and feet. Now we're going to search your room, and you're all standing aside! As soon as Hu Zhenxia waved her hand, several second-class palace maids under her command quickly scattered into the room and began to rummage through the cabinets.

The younger third-class palace maid was photographed by Hu Zhenxia's obscenity, huddled in the corner. Zou Caiping knew that this play was aimed at her again, nothing more than annoyed that she didn't follow the order to clean up the swill in person. Just search it, she hasn't stolen anything anyway, what is she afraid of?

A palace maid named Cui'er found two large silver ingots from Zou Caiping's pillow, each containing twenty taels! She hurriedly ran to Hu Zhenxia with the "stolen goods": "Auntie, look, how can Zou Caiping have so much silver?" Cui'er is Hu Zhenxia's "dogleg", she naturally knows that the purpose of her master's coming here is not to find any bracelets, but to find these coins.

Hu Zhenxia picked up the silver ingot and looked at it carefully, and the corners of her mouth provoked a hint of mockery: "Yo, I didn't see it!" Sister Zou is so generous? With you, a third-class palace maid, I'm afraid you won't be able to save this money in a year, right? What's more, you've only been released from the Criminal Division for half a year. Say! Where did the money come from? Didn't you steal it! She slammed the silver to the ground.

"Hu Zhenxia, you don't have enough blood! You're targeting me everywhere, you're looking for fault with me, and now you're trying to frame me for stealing? There are no doors! This money was given to me by my deceased, not stolen! Zou Caiping rushed forward to retrieve the silver ingot, but unfortunately Lu Xiurong picked it up first.

"This is evidence, Sister Hu, don't lose it." Lu Xiurong stuffed the silver back into Hu Zhenxia's hand.

"Hehehe...... Sister Zou entered the palace earlier than us, so she won't be unclear about the rules of the palace, right? How should the palace people be punished for giving each other privately? Hu Zhenxia pretended to be embarrassed, but it was difficult to hide her vicious nature: "Cui'er, go and invite Cui Shanggong." Leave this matter to her old man! ”

Cui'er ran to invite Cui Xin, but before she walked out of the courtyard gate, she was intercepted by Dequan, who rushed to hear the news: "The girl doesn't have to work hard, Zou Caiping's matter has been known to the queen's mother, and the mother has to ask in person." Zou Caiping, let's go with our family. ”

"What kind of wind blew Grandpa De here?" Hu Zhenxia and others flatteringly invited Dequan into the house.

Dequan didn't appreciate it, waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to disturb a few aunts, our family just came to ask Zou Caiping to go back and ask questions." ”

"How dare you bother the queen with such a trivial matter? It's better to leave it to our Shanggong Bureau to handle it yourself. Hu Zhenxia smiled awkwardly.

"A trifle? How can it be a trivial matter for a palace person to make a mistake? Now that Niangniang is assisting the government of the previous dynasty, it is inevitable that the control of the harem will be relaxed. I don't want to have such a rooster and dog thief! Niangniang just wants to use her as an example to set an example! Come on, take Zou Caiping away for me! Dequan shook off the dust, turned around and went out, and the little eunuch under his command immediately followed Zou Caiping.

Hu Zhenxia and Lu Xiurong looked at each other, at a loss for a while. They went from deliberation to action, but in just one hour, how could the queen hear the wind so quickly?

Only Zhong Chengbi committed the total, and the gossip about Zou Caiping earlier was heard from the palace maid of Fengwu Palace. Could it be that the queen has long been eyeing the imperial dining room? She finally became a master, and she must not make a mistake by half a step! It seems that in the future, she can still avoid the grievances in the imperial dining room.

No one noticed that Wang Kewei was so nervous that his palms were sweaty, and the silk handkerchief he was holding tightly was already soaked.

Dequan took away the protagonist of the "farce", and the others lost the interest in continuing to toss. Hu Zhenxia waved his hand, and everyone dispersed, and they went back to their rooms without mentioning it.

Wang Kewei, who returned to her own room, still had palpitations, and when her henchman came back, she immediately carefully closed the doors and windows.

"Scared me to death, no one found you, right?" Wang Kewei gave himself a glass of water pressure.

"Auntie, don't worry, the slave and maid are careful, absolutely no one has seen the slave and maid enter the Fengwu Palace." Li'er picked up the fan and fanned Wang Kewei.

"Okay, okay, don't fan. I just broke out in a cold sweat, according to your fanning method, I have to catch a cold for a while. Wang Kewei waved his hand irritably.

Li'er put down the fan stupidly, sat down next to Wang Kewei, and said puzzledly: "Since my aunt is afraid of offending Hu Sishan, why do you still agree to the queen to monitor the sound of the imperial dining room?" ”

"You think I want to?" Wang Kewei looked at Li'er sadly: "Hu Zhenxia is certainly domineering, but the queen can't afford to offend!" "But the queen doesn't mean to persecute you, it's up to you to decide whether to do it or not!" Li'er was the only queen who followed Wang Ke to meet her, and she heard the queen's words clearly.

"yes, no one forced me...... It's me...... Unwilling! Wang Kewei slammed the table with his fist, and his eyes were red.

Wang Kewei has always been cautious, and finally became a director with his own efforts. But even so, the other three directors still looked down on her. Seeing that she is soft and easy to deceive, he rubs her arbitrarily; Every now and then, there is a run. On the surface, he pulled her into a gang, but in fact, he didn't have any respect at all. Even Zhong Chengbi, who has been in office for less than a year, dares to point fingers at her! She hates these snobbish eyes of "dogs look down on people"!

Therefore, Wang Kewei just wanted to take this opportunity to attach himself to the queen's big backer. As long as she gains the trust of the queen, who will dare to despise her in the future? The reason why the queen chose her instead of others probably saw her unwillingness, right?

Zou Caiping was brought to the queen, and Feng Wu drove out all the palace people except Miaoqing.

"Zou, are you guilty?" Feng Wu asked slowly.

Zou Caiping, who was kneeling on the ground, was in a cold sweat, she couldn't let the queen know the origin of the silver, so she could only answer lightly: "The slave is guilty...... The slave and maid should not have seen the intention of wealth and stole Hu Sishan's gold bracelet. ”

Feng Wule was happy, in order to hide the truth, Zou Caiping did not hesitate to admit Hu Zhenxia's framed? It seems that the deal between her and King Jin is really shady.

"You have stolen something, where is the stolen goods now? As far as this palace knows, they didn't find any bracelets from your house, but they did not find any bracelets from your house, but the origin of these two ingots of silver, how can you explain it? Feng Wu threw the twenty taels of silver that Dequan had collected and thrown at Zou Caiping's feet.

"This ...... This...... This is the money that the slave maid got from selling Hu Sishan's jewelry! Zou Caiping was in a hurry to make up reasons, but unfortunately this lie was full of loopholes.

Miao Qing didn't say a word, stepped forward and threw two big mouths on Zou Caiping's face, and scolded: "What a cunning old man!" Dare to lie to your mother? Hu Zhenxia only lost the bracelet during the day, can you shoot it at night? When did you leave the palace? Who did you sell the bracelet to? It's clear nonsense! It's not really recruited! ”

Zou Caiping was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again to admit her mistake: "The slave is guilty!" Slaves shouldn't deceive their mothers! Silver, silver is ...... It was given by the slave and the maid. Slaves...... The slave and maid have indeed committed the crime of giving and receiving privately, please punish the mother! ”

"The deceased? Which deceased? Feng Wu pulled out a palace register in his hand and flipped through it seemingly unintentionally.

"This ...... Despicable people, for fear of polluting the ears of the mother, don't mention it. It was all slaves and ghosts who were obsessed with their minds, so they ignored the palace rules and accepted other people's property. Please condemn the mother, slave and maid...... Speechless! Zou Caiping bowed deeply and did not get up for a long time.

"It turns out that the King of Jin is also a lowly person in your eyes, and your vision is high......" Feng Wu patted Zou Caiping's face with the palace book, and his tone was regretful: "This palace thought that you wanted to go out of the palace to enjoy happiness, but it turned out that you wanted to die in the palace!" ”

Zou Caiping's eyes widened, looking at the queen in horror, and the hairs on her body stood upside down one by one.
