On the way to Kunning Palace, Cui Yuanhua was full of self-blame, and kept explaining to Zeng Rong in a low voice, saying that after Zeng Rong left, she was called by the Imperial Medical Department to check the medical records of the past few days, and she was so busy that she didn't go to the inner chamberlain to make up for Zeng Rong's leave.

Moreover, Zeng Rong's departure from the palace was personally approved by the emperor, and she thought that there was no need to go to the inner chamberlain to make up for the leave, after all, who else had more power than the emperor?

There is another reason, she thinks that Zeng Rong knows these palace rules, after all, Zeng Rong has been in the inner chamberlain for a month, isn't the palace rules the first to learn to remember?

Zeng Rong was noncommittal about her explanation and smiled faintly.

After entering Kunning Palace, Fang Zhangjiao ordered Zeng Rong and others to wait under the corridor, and he brought those eunuchs and the things he collected from Zeng Rong into the hall.

"Don't be afraid, with the emperor on your shoulders, you shouldn't be able to stand the punishment." Cui Yuanhua saw that Zeng Rong was silent and persuaded.

"Aunt Cui, if you follow the palace rules, what punishment should you deserve?" Zeng Rong really didn't know the palace rules on this side of the harem.

"Leaving the palace without permission and not returning all night will each hit ten boards plus a fine for one month, and it is difficult to say that bringing unknown objects into the palace from outside the palace is difficult to say, if it is a prohibited item, it may be a capital crime."

As soon as Cui Yuanhua finished speaking, Zeng Rong suddenly changed color, those things were handed over to Fang Zhangjiao and brought into the hall, if someone wanted to deliberately frame her, how could she refute it?

"Don't be afraid, we have all eaten those things, the Pharmacopoeia Bureau also has them, and Zheng Zhangshi has also tasted each of them, she will definitely testify for you." Cui Yuanhua knew what Zeng Rong was worried about, and hurriedly reassured.

That's right, why did she forget Zheng Jiao, Zheng Jiao ignored Fang Zhangjiao's big black face in that situation, and tasted everything and took one or two things, presumably just to help her, she should have relayed it to the emperor, right?

And the cuckoo, will the cuckoo go to Chang Dezi?

Zeng Rong, who was a little relieved, pondered another question, who was having trouble with her, it took only half an hour from her entering the palace to the Fang Zhangjiao's arrival, and someone sued her in front of Queen Wang in such a short period of time, and she must have been targeted.

Removing the imperial concubine, she really can't think of anyone who will have trouble with her.

This trick is really good, sue her to the queen, the queen punishes her, she has a grudge with the queen, if the emperor intercedes, the queen lets Zeng Rong go, and the heart will definitely be uncomfortable, if you don't let it go, the emperor is uncomfortable.

There is also a possibility that Queen Wang believed Zeng Rong's words, and she didn't need the emperor to intercede, she was directly spared, and the imperial concubine was busy in vain.

It's not called a busy day, at least the movement is too big, and in the end it will definitely reach the ears of the queen mother and the emperor, and it will also reach the ears of many women in the harem, and the emperor actually gave a new female official a leave, and some people will definitely be curious about the relationship between these two people, and Zeng Rong has become the target of public criticism.

When Zeng Rongzheng deduced that it might be bigger, he saw that Fang Zhangjiao came out, saying that the queen was discussing the matter of tomorrow's festival with the palace lords, and this kind of trivial matter was left to her to deal with.

"Zeng is in charge, although you asked the emperor for leave, and it is not considered to leave the palace without permission and not return all night, but you are also guilty of disobedience and disobedience. Furthermore, although the food you bring is not a prohibited thing, but it is also very good, the palace rules are cloudy, if the food you bring back to the palace is shared with others, once something happens, you must take full responsibility, do you know? ”

"Back to Fang Zhangjiao, the last thing I know is that the first two items of non-compliance with the law and disobedience to discipline still hope that Fang Zhangjiao can give an explanation or two." Zeng Rong bowed down and asked.

"There are corresponding rules for harem female officials to ask for leave, and Cui Zhangshi has his own reasons for not allowing leave, and you rely on the emperor's favor to make noise about him with such trivial things, which is regarded as disobedience to control in Cui Zhangshi, and is regarded as non-compliance with the law in terms of the emperor, can you accept it?" Fang Zhangjiao asked with a glance.

"Hui Fang is in charge of teaching, how to serve, what if you don't obey?" Zeng Rong asked.

She was really angry, and this reason was too far-fetched.

Without waiting for Fang Zhangjiao to reply, Cui Yuanhua was busy on the side: "Fang Zhangjiao, if you want to say wrong, I am also wrong, I shouldn't have pushed her directly to the emperor, it was my mistake first." ”

"Let's talk about the one who taught first." Fang Zhangjiao glanced at her.

If he is convinced, Zeng Rong needs to kneel for two hours, and if he is not convinced, he will also be punished for kneeling for two hours, but Cui Yuanhua needs to kneel with Zeng Rong for two hours, because she has the responsibility of disciplining Zeng Rong, and at the same time she is guilty of prevarication.

When Zeng Rong heard this, this forced her to admit her mistake.

didn't admit her mistake, and was punished with Cui Yuanhua, how can she stay in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau in the future?

There is no way, people are under the eaves, and it is difficult not to bow their heads.

"Ah Rong, I'll kneel with you." Cui Yuanhua said.

"Don't, don't, Aunt Cui, you're going to kneel, didn't I admit my mistake in vain? You'd better go back to your business first. Zeng Rong shook his head busily.

At the request of Fang Zhangjiao, Zeng Rong could not kneel in the shade under the porch, but had to kneel in the middle of the courtyard, Zeng Rong looked at the bright sun above his head, and wondered if she would be able to stand up after two hours.

Cui Yuanhua left Kunning Palace under the urging of Zeng Rong, and Zeng Rong also knelt in the middle of the courtyard under the supervision of Fang Zhangjiao, it is strange to say, she just knelt down for a quarter of an hour, and a bunch of women came out of the house one after another, these are the concubines who came to ask the queen for peace, and the one who started was not the imperial concubine.

Seeing Zeng Rong, the imperial concubine's footsteps stopped, and she walked to Zeng Rong's side, with a surprised face, "It's you?" What did you do wrong? ”

"Back to the imperial concubine, Fang Zhangjiao said that the lower officials committed the mistake of disobeying the rules and regulations." Zeng Rong straightened his back and replied.

"What's going on?"

Zeng Rong said it truthfully, but she omitted the food she brought into the palace, she didn't want to be taken by the other party to give Yu Mei, this responsibility was too great, she really couldn't afford it.

"That's it, nothing else?" Tong Yao asked.

Zeng Rong shook his head and said with a bitter face: "Back to the imperial concubine, if there is more, it will not be two hours." ”

"Two hours are not long, a while will pass, remember, be smart next time, don't always make mistakes." The imperial concubine smiled and dropped a sentence and left.

As soon as the imperial concubine left, the other concubines also left, and before leaving, several people looked back at Zeng Rong carefully, as if they wanted to remember her.

As soon as the concubines left, it was time for breakfast, the palace maids and eunuchs kept shuttling, Zeng Rong didn't bother to pay attention to those strange eyes, and simply closed her eyes.

For a while, when the queen finished eating, Zeng Rong was estimating how long he had been kneeling, a bunch of people came in the courtyard, and the leader was actually Mrs. Wang, and there were two little girls, who were the people Zeng Rong didn't want to see the most, Wang Di and Wang Chuchu sisters.
