Wu Yunzhao said coldly: "Next time? Do you want to have a next time? Concubine De, what are the palace rules? ”

Han Rongjia knew that he was wrong, but when he thought about the causes and consequences, he was not a loss, so he listened to the training honestly, did not refute half a sentence, and seemed to be full of sincerity.

In the end, Wu Yunzhao said: "If you are a first-time offender, this palace will not punish you severely, in the next three days, this palace will order you to think in the palace and copy the palace rules ten times, can you be convinced?" ”

Han Rongjia said: "The queen is generous, and the concubines are naturally convinced. ”

The news in the palace was very fast, Wu Yunzhao left Concubine De's palace, and before he had gone far, he vaguely heard the news that Concubine De was punished and the cold palace was haunted.

Wu Yunzhao praised: "Xiaoshun, it's done very well, go back and get your reward." ”

Xiaoshun was happy in his heart, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Queen Mother." Helping Wu Yunzhao walk slowly, he asked, "Niangniang, where will you go in a while?" ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "The plan remains the same, but I have to go back to the palace first to draft the decree, and let Zhang Sizhi become the Shang Palace today, so as not to have twists and turns in the future." ”

Xiao Shun said: "Niangniang, is this too fast, will it arouse suspicion?" ”

After last night's incident, Xiao Shun is already Wu Yunzhao's confidant and can be completely trusted. Wu Yunzhao didn't mind talking to him about more things. There are more eunuchs than palace maids, which is a big help.

Wu Yunzhao said: "It's okay, Concubine De helped me prepare for the banquet in the morning, everyone knows, now she is grounded, everything can only be taken care of by the palace herself." The harem is so big, how can this palace sit in the palace for a long time without coming out to walk. In addition, Zeiss is arrogant, has acted poorly, and has made a lot of mistakes in recent days, and if he does something bad, he will naturally be punished, which is reasonable; The palace shoulders the responsibility of managing the female officials of the harem, and it is the proper duty to raise and punish the women in the palace, who dares to accuse the palace of not? ”

It turned out that since the last time there was a dispute over Shanggong, Zeiss felt that he had a great chance of winning, and he set up a shelf in advance and neglected his duties. In the past few days, there has been the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, then the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and then the Chongyang banquet. Zeiss dared to think very highly of himself at such a busy time, pretended to be smart, and poked the basket out, which was self-inflicted, cocooned and self-bound, and could not end well, but to blame himself, he couldn't complain about the palace rules, and he couldn't complain about others.

Wu Yunzhao was originally going to take Han Rongjia to the Shanggong Bureau today, borrow her hand, deal with Cai Sishe in person, and teach her that the two of them eat dogs, have unspeakable mouths, and eat bad breaths. However, it happened that it could be said that the time and place were favorable, Han Rongjia was greedy for pleasure, so that the palace rules were difficult to abide by, and such a fuss gave Wu Yunzhao the opportunity to isolate her temporarily, and she couldn't come out for a while to make waves and add fuel to the fire.

Wu Yunzhao thought to himself, instead of waiting for Han Rongjia to collude with Zeiss after he came out, it was better to take this opportunity to directly suppress Zeiss and take care of the Shanggong Bureau when he was too busy to take care of himself.

In the afternoon, Empress Yizhi and Zhang Si were promoted to Shanggong, Cai Si was demoted, and Liu Zhangshi was appointed as the secretary.

After Han Rongjia learned the news, there was no need to mention how angry he was in the palace, only there was nothing to do.

In the afternoon of this day, Wu Yunzhao, Liu Ruohua and Ziyan were gathering in the palace, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was just right.

Unexpectedly, bad news suddenly came out of the palace---- Concubine Shu died violently.

The three of them were taken aback, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know why.

Wu Yunzhao was the calmest and asked, "Xiaoshun, where did Concubine Shu go?" ”

Xiao Shun said: "Back to Niangniang, most people say that they can't stay up because of illness and can't stay up for so many years, but the slave looks at the face of the waiter next to Concubine Shu, and most of them have another inside story, but there were many people at that time, and the slave was afraid of causing trouble, so he didn't dare to ask." ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded, and immediately said, "Ruohua, follow me to Hanzhang Palace, Yan'er, you stay in the palace." ”

When the two arrived at the door of Hanzhang Palace, they saw that Concubine Shu had already entered the coffin and was about to be carried away.

Wu Yunzhao and Liu Ruohua glanced at each other, and they both thought, "Why is it so fast?" At a glance, I saw Aunt Lin who was serving beside the Queen Mother, and immediately understood that this was what the Queen Mother meant, but neither of them understood what the Queen Mother meant, but they both guessed that Concubine Shu's death had something else to do.

Aunt Lin waved her hand and ordered several palace people to carry the coffin away for cremation, and then came to Wu Yunzhao and Liu Ruohua, and said respectfully: "The Queen Mother has a will, please take a trip to the queen." ”

Wu Yunzhao patted Liu Ruohua's hand and followed Aunt Lin.

After Aunt Lin brought Wu Yunzhao to her, she beckoned the palace attendants to withdraw, but left behind a palace maid dressed in light purple clothes.

Wu Yunzhao's eyes stayed on the palace maid for a moment, and said, "I don't know why the queen mother summoned her sons here?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "What else can I do for, naturally for the sake of Concubine Shu." Queen, the mourning family is not going around in circles with you, this is Concubine Shu's palace maid Zilian, since Concubine Shu was sick, she has been serving by her side, what happened in Hanzhang Palace, Zilian knows it. ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded, but did not take the initiative to ask.

The Queen Mother smiled: "The queen acts in a measured manner, very good, very good." Xiang Zilian said: "Don't wait for the queen to ask, say what to say." ”

Zilian said: "Yes." Sure enough, the real cause of Concubine Shu's death was revealed.
