Chapter 37: Blood

In just a few days, the gossip in Beijing became more and more intense, and the emperor's temperament could no longer be resisted. The Internal Affairs Office has almost used the method of sieving to check all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and they are tired and upside down, and there are a lot of messy results, which makes the palace concubines tremble. Originally, it was just a joke, but those low-level concubines were different, they had lived in the deep palace for many years, but the number of times the emperor was fortunate was extremely limited, and some of them couldn't bear the loneliness and had unclear behavior, and even the eunuchs of the six palaces could only turn a blind eye on weekdays, after all, no one knew whether they would gain power in the future.

However, the most uneasy thing in his heart is Feng Jue, who has been able to keep this position for so many years because of his skill in observing words and emotions and the loyalty he showed in front of the emperor. Whether it is identity or experience, everything is seamless, all those in the know are dead, naturally there will be no traces, and the only flaw may be that woman. I don't know why, he has always just used women as a tool to have feelings for her, and even dared to take a big risk to have an affair with her, so that the pearl fetus was secretly knotted, and even managed to make the emperor fortunate to her again, and it became a bad fate.

The Emperor didn't trust him as much as he used to, and Feng Jue was keenly aware of this. During this period of time, no matter how neatly he did his errands, the emperor's face was always light, and even if he was rewarded more, he still felt uneasy. There are more than 100 cases of court officials that he has participated in the investigation of alone, those who have been deeply favored in the past, those who have been meritorious in their ancestors, and even the mother's family of the harem concubines, the emperor knocked them into the sky with a word, let alone himself?

Feng desperately smiled at Mingyue, he was only in his early thirties and had reached the rank of a first-class guard, if he had come out of the imperial examination, it would have been impossible to get to this day so quickly, but his own honor and favor were all given by the emperor, once the supreme took back everything, the best outcome could only be the burning of jade, and the worst possibility was that he still couldn't help him. However, it seems that there is a hand behind the scenes that pushes everything, hoping that I can really see that day. His heart was instantly full of fighting spirit, anyway, his life was picked up, it depends on whether he has the life to fight to the end!

Shi Liushun, the eunuch of the six palaces, walked slowly in front, followed by a group of eunuchs of different sizes. Since the day the palace was searched, there have been no less than dozens of palace maids of all colors, and if there is no background in the house, most of them have been beaten to death with big sticks and carried outside. As for the low-level concubines who misbehaved, many were arrested, and the minor crimes were dethroned and enslaved in the Huanyi room, and the heavy ones were a white silk or a glass of wine that cut everything off. He, the eunuch of the six palaces, is very busy, and he has to find time to deal with several heads and faces in the harem, and he almost doesn't even have the time to breathe. However, the harvest is really not small, just the gold and jade jewelry that those women respect is worth thousands of taels, and he truly understands the benefits of power. If it weren't for the previous purge, he wouldn't have been as cautious as he is now, lest he fall into the hands of others.

"Manager Shi, in front of you is Yixin Palace." A eunuch stepped forward and reminded softly.

"Little rabbit cub, I've been in the palace for so many years, will I still know Yixin Palace? Isn't it the noble Ping who the emperor once pampered? According to the regulations, all kinds of noble ladies in the palace can only be called Niangniang if they have obtained the title of concubine, so many women who have earned a noble or concubine in their lifetime can only live in a deserted place for the rest of their lives, and they can only see the narrow sky above their heads when they die of old age. Yixin Palace is also a good place in the entire inner palace, if it weren't for the fact that the noble person of Ping had been favored by the saint for a period of time, it would be impossible to live here just by her position.

However, today's Ping nobles have lost the scenery of the past, needless to say, their faces are pale and white, even the nails that have always been regarded as treasures have been broken, and the white palms are full of blood. "Gonggong Shi, is this really the emperor's will? Does he really care about the kindness of the past? She pleaded, "The concubine wants to see the emperor, those rumors are slandered, and I ask my father-in-law to play on my behalf!" ”

Shi Liushun glanced coldly at the woman on the ground, but there was no sympathy in his expression. There are not many concubines in the harem, and the appearance and background of the Ping nobles are still passable, but the title has never been moved, because she does not know how to lift. Occasionally, it is naturally harmless to make a small sex, but it is undoubtedly self-inflicted humiliation to play with this set in the harem, a place where a hundred flowers are vibrant, maybe the emperor is really tired of her greed, so he took this opportunity to get rid of it.

"Pingguiren, the slave is just acting according to the order, the emperor will give you white silk and wine, and the slave only has the share of the order after completing the errand, how dare you play it indiscriminately? In case the emperor blames him, the minions can't afford it. Shi Liushun replied stiffly, but there was a respectful and humble look on his face.

Pingguiren couldn't wait to strangle this eunuch to death, in the past, when the emperor was lucky, Shi Liushun was extraordinarily attentive, but at this time, he was completely wiped out, and he was simply the most despicable villain. She couldn't figure out what went wrong after thinking about it, that thing was so secret, it was impossible for anyone to know, thinking of the rumors in the palace before, she finally sadly found that she was just a small fish in a net.

Looking at the white silk and the wine in front of him, the noble man smiled miserably, raised the glass of extremely poisonous wine, said three "good" words in a row, and then drank it all. In a moment, a wisp of blood slowly oozed from her mouth, her expression became hideous and resentful, and a pair of eyes that had already protruded stared at the few people in front of her, as if they were about to swallow them, and several timid eunuchs couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright.

"People are dead, what are you afraid of? She asked for herself, if she enjoyed wealth and honor, where did she come from today's catastrophe, and her parents at home would be affected, but it's a pity! Shi Liushun's male duck voice came from behind a few people, "Clean it up, the emperor is still waiting for a reply!" ”

Several eunuchs looked at each other, and when they saw Shi Liushun slowly leaving, they realized the true meaning of this statement, and their faces couldn't help but be overjoyed. No matter what the noble people of Ping said, they are all concubines who have been favored, and all the items should be confiscated this time, and those items given by the emperor should be returned to the inner treasury, but there are still a lot of ordinary gold and silver jewelry, and Shi Liushun has already spoken, undoubtedly acquiescing that they can dispose of these things at will. A group of eunuchs who had still had a hint of hesitation immediately began to check it, and after a while, their arms were full of all kinds of belongings, and their faces were full of greed.

Shi Liushun didn't bother to pay attention to the thoughts of his subordinates, anyway, in the end, his share was indispensable, so he didn't need to meddle again. He has been pondering the meaning of the emperor, how strange those gossips are, if it weren't for people who are familiar with the palace, they can't tell such things. However, how can the servants in the palace have such courage, and it is too late to hide these secret things for the master, even if they accidentally bump into them, they will be wiped out, except for those who are extremely high and have other plans, no one will do such stupid things.

He inadvertently remembered the emperor's reaction after going to Kunning Palace that day, and cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead. Although he repeatedly told himself that it was impossible, he couldn't help but think of the queen's past behavior. Isn't this way of creating public opinion first and then raising a big stick that she often uses? Over the years, I don't know how many guilty or innocent concubines in the harem have been given to death inexplicably, and the emperor only occasionally intervenes, and he usually ignores it.

Shi Liushun was shocked and returned to the Qinzheng Palace to pay the order, but the emperor did not order anything else, but only ordered him to retreat. As a eunuch of the Six Palaces, there are really a lot of things to manage, but at this time, the chief manager of Shi Da couldn't lift his spirits at all, and the emperor's strange attitude made him a little flustered, and the slightest smugness when he originally disposed of the concubines was gone. What grade, what kind of glory, without the emperor's grace, what is the difference between him and ordinary slaves, so even if he fights for the old bottom, he has to keep his position, this is the experience of eunuchs in the six palaces.

"Niangniang, there is too much commotion in the palace, you really don't plan to interfere?" Rou Ping gently kneaded Concubine Yu's jade neck, and asked puzzledly, "The concubines of the palace are always hanging around with you these days, obviously wanting you to ask the emperor for a favor." There are so many people in the palace, how can there be nothing wrong, it's amazing to go on like this. ”

"Rouping, these things will be less mixed in the future." Concubine Yu replied coldly, "This palace knows that you have always befriended several people in their palace, but you need to remember that this palace's decision will not be wrong. Now the emperor is taking the opportunity to clean up the palace, and whoever bumps into it deserves to be unlucky. Even if this palace doesn't think about itself, it has to think about its two sons, so why bother wading through this troubled water? Tianwei is unpredictable, not to mention who provoked this turmoil is still uncertain, and this palace doesn't want people to catch the wrong place. ”

Rou Ping replied curtly, and she gave up the thoughts in her heart, following the Xiao family for so many years, how could she not know that the master is a role that is the same, and she can't disobey when she is idle. The words just now have exceeded her duty, but fortunately, she has always been favored, and she would have been lost a long time ago if she had been replaced by others.

The master and servant sat and stood without making a sound for a long time. Suddenly, Concubine Yu sighed deeply: "Rouping, this palace has always kept you by your side, but in fact, it has also delayed your life." Your appearance and character are the best choice, if you have a favorite person, this palace can ask the emperor for you, and the officials of Xianjing will not dare to snub you. ”

"!" Rouping stopped, almost unable to believe her ears, "You don't want to be served?" ”

Xiao Shi shook his head helplessly, "Now that there is a lot of turmoil in the palace, what a beautiful fog coat used to be around the queen, but in the end it didn't even end well, and the palace doesn't want to chill the hearts of the people around her." If you really want to marry, how can this palace force you to stay? ”

"The slave is willing to serve the mother for the rest of her life!" Rouping fell to her knees with a thud, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, "Even if you get married, if something happens, the slave and maid may not have a good end, it is better to guard the mother to be clean!" ”

Xiao Shi looked at the henchman maid in front of him, and couldn't help but show a real smile on his face. "It seems that this palace is a little stronger than the queen, you are much smarter than the foggy clothes!" She happily praised, "Rouping, you have a good memory, if there is a day, this palace will never treat you badly." ”
