Chapter 120: Stewardship
"You have been by my side for so many years, and I am extremely relieved of you. I didn't think that you came to Kunning Palace, and you caused such a big trouble for me. ”
"The queen has always enforced the law impartially, but I'm afraid she won't let you go easily. I don't want to protect you, because you are too useless, useless people, it is useless to continue to stay by my side and serve, and after the monster is disposed of, you will follow out of the palace! ”
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Aunt Zheng was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.
Aunt Zheng finally returned to the Empress Dowager Li to serve, and now the Empress Dowager is going to drive her out again, she doesn't want to go out of the palace, she just wants to stay by the Empress Dowager's side to serve.
Hu Xian was summoned by Empress Zhao, and he didn't dare to take a break, so he came over directly.
In the side hall of Kunning Palace, Empress Zhao had already instructed Xiao Han to retire the palace maids and internal supervisors who were waiting in the house, leaving only a few of Empress Zhao's henchmen to stay in the palace and serve.
"Commander Hu, where did Aunt Fu, who was serving by the Queen Mother's side, go? Why didn't I see Aunt Fu when I met the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother said that Aunt Fu went out of the palace, but I didn't believe it. ”
"Aunt Fu is the confidant of the Queen Mother, how could Aunt Fu suddenly leave the palace at such a critical juncture?"
Commander Hu knelt on the ground, and said secretly in his heart: Maybe the queen mother doesn't know that Aunt Fu has been disposed of by the eldest princess in the Baoying Palace of Shangqing.
Since the queen didn't know yet, he told the queen mother.
"Back to the queen's mother, Aunt Fu has been disposed of by the eldest princess in the Shangqing Baoying Palace because she has violated the taboo of the official family."
The queen's face was full of surprise.
Aunt Fu was actually disposed of by her aunt?
When did this happen?
Why didn't she see a shadow at all.
Besides, the eldest aunt and the queen mother have never heard that there is nothing wrong with each other.
Now that the eldest aunt has disposed of Aunt Fu who is serving by the Queen Mother's side, what is it for?
Empress Zhao thought about it for a while, but she never came up with any results, so she should ask Commander Hu again to see if he knew?
"Commander Hu, when did this happen? Why doesn't Hongu know about it?"
The queen mother doesn't know, it must be the queen mother, and she doesn't want the queen mother to know, so in this case, should she make it clear to the queen mother, or don't say anything?
Hu Xian weighed it in his heart, but decided to know about it, and gave it to the queen mother.
After all, the queen mother is his long-term consideration.
"Back to the queen's words, yesterday the eldest princess of Wei accompanied Mrs. Dangyang County into the palace, after the eldest princess of Wei and Mrs. Dangyang County came out of Kunning Palace, they went to Shangqing Baoying Palace, and the eldest princess of Wei wanted to see the queen mother and say a few words to the queen mother."
"I didn't want to talk about it, Aunt Fu, who was waiting next to the Queen Mother, committed the taboo of the official family, and the eldest princess of Wei State beat Aunt Fu to death in front of the Queen Mother.
She vaguely remembered that yesterday Dangyang County's wife Xu did accompany the eldest princess of Wei to enter the palace to see her, and invited her to peace, and Dangyang County's wife Xu met Miao Niangzi again.
After saying a few words to Miao Niangzi, Dangyang County Lady and the eldest princess of Wei Guo left the Kunning Palace.
Unexpectedly, the two of them went out of Kunning Palace, but went to Shangqing Baoying Palace.
What did Aunt Fu say that made the eldest princess of Wei State dispose of Aunt Fu in front of the Queen Mother?
The eldest princess of Wei has lived in the Shangqing Palace outside the city for a long time, and her temperament has always been gentle, if she is not forced to do so, she really can't stand it, and the eldest princess of Wei will not personally dispose of Aunt Fu in front of the queen mother.
And the eldest princess of Wei did this, she offended the queen mother.
However, the eldest princess is the sister-in-law of the first emperor and the eldest aunt of the current official family.
The official family is not born to the Queen Mother, and if it is investigated, it will definitely be over.
One is the queen mother of this dynasty, and the other is the eldest princess of this dynasty, and no one is biased, so it can only be left like this.
The queen didn't plan to continue asking, so she instructed Commander Hu to say a few words, and instructed Commander Hu to go down and guard.
and explained to Commander Hu, just now she asked Commander Hu to come over, and these words must not be passed on.
After Commander Hu went out, the queen asked Da Han to invite Yu Niangzi and Miao Niangzi over.
……
In a row of big houses behind the Kunning Palace, Empress Dowager Li sat on the soft couch under the window, and Aunt Zheng brought a plate of oranges over, ready to peel oranges for Empress Dowager Li to eat.
"Queen Mother, these tangerines are the steward of the small kitchen in the Queen Mother's Palace, and they were specially sent to you, saying that they are filial to your old man."
"The steward of the small kitchen, surnamed Sun, committed theft in the palace because of her niece, and was invited by the queen to come over and take him to the cell of the palace boss."
Aunt Zheng said while peeling oranges for Empress Dowager Li.
"That steward Sun begged the queen mother, turned his head again, and begged the queen mother."
The time that Aunt Zheng served by the side of the Empress Dowager Li was longer than the time that Aunt Fu stayed by the side of the Empress Dowager Li.
So after Aunt Fu died, Empress Dowager Li immediately asked Aunt Zheng to come back to help her.
Eating the oranges peeled by Aunt Zheng, Empress Dowager Li asked Aunt Zheng beside her.
"That Sun is in charge, how do you want me to help her?"
Empress Dowager Li said, glancing at Aunt Zheng who was waiting beside her.
Aunt Zheng hurriedly lowered her head.
"Her niece, what did she steal from the queen's palace before she was handed over to the palace department for investigation?"
Aunt Zheng didn't hide it from the Empress Dowager Li, so she said.
"Steward Sun's niece, because she stole a box of rouge in front of the queen's dresser, she asked the queen's mother to call the palace to come over, but a box of rouge is just a big deal, it's just that the queen is making a big fuss."
Empress Dowager Li didn't listen to Aunt Zheng continue, interrupted Aunt Zheng's words, and asked.
"Is the queen making a big fuss, or are you hiding the truth and not telling me? What did you steal from the Queen's Palace?"
Aunt Zheng was frightened by Empress Dowager Li's sudden words, and had no choice but to tell Empress Dowager Li the truth.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it's a phoenix seal! The niece of the grandson steward stole the phoenix seal of the queen's mother, so the queen invited the palace to come and investigate. ”
Aunt Zheng fell into words, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and begged Empress Dowager Li for forgiveness.
"Ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness! The old slave didn't deliberately want to hide it from the Queen Mother, but the Sun Steward had already handed the silver to the old slave and asked the old slave to say these words in front of the Queen Mother. ”
Seeing Aunt Zheng kowtowing vigorously and begging for mercy, Empress Dowager Li only lowered her head and glanced at it, and sighed a few times in a row.
"Stealing the queen's phoenix seal, if you follow the rules of the palace, even if you beat that girl to death, it is not too much. Now that she has just invited Gong Zhengji to investigate, the queen is still very merciful. ”
"If it were me, I would have asked someone to cripple that girl's hands and feet."
When Empress Dowager Li said this, Aunt Zheng was even more frightened.
"The Queen Mother, they are all old slaves, but please spare the old slave for the sake of the old slave who has served you for so many years!"
Empress Dowager Li didn't speak, and sighed a few times in a row.
"You have been by my side for so many years, and I am extremely relieved of you. I didn't think that you came to Kunning Palace, and you caused such a big trouble for me. ”
