In the southern miscellaneous room of Daming Palace, the new Lord Shanggong is as cold as frost, and he is extremely strict with all palace maids.

Jing Wan'er was brushing the toilet there, and the stench was everywhere.

I heard that the new chef in the imperial kitchen recently burned the dishes, causing many concubines and even Zhongzong to eat bad stomachs, and they had to pass the gong bucket several times a day.

The palace maid in charge had a cold face, "Jing Wan'er, come out." ”

The girl raised her embarrassed face, and the sleeves she rolled up were still dirty, and Jing Wan'er looked at the palace maid with a puzzled look.

The palace maid was even colder: "What are you rubbing, so that you didn't hear it when you came out?" ”

Jing Wan'er looked at the brush and toilet in her hand, had to drop it, stood up and wiped her hands with her dress, and walked towards the palace maid.

But before she could get closer, the strange smell made the palace maid's face change.

Jing Wan'er looked at her calmly: "What is the matter with my aunt?" ”

The palace maid held her breath and hurriedly turned around, "Don't talk nonsense, follow me." ”

Coming to the courtyard of the miscellaneous room, Jing Wan'er looked up and saw the eunuch wearing eunuch uniform from a distance.

The palace maid, who was originally indifferent, immediately knelt down with a little trepidation on her face, "Father-in-law Qi, the sin slave Jing Wan'er has brought it." ”

Jing Wan'er looked at the eunuch, a little stunned.

"What a bold man, this is the great eunuch beside His Majesty, how dare you not kneel?" Hearing the palace maid's loud shout, Jing Wan'er recalled, quickly lowered her head, and knelt down.

The eunuch frowned and looked at Jing Wan'er, and a peculiar smell was faintly heard on the tip of his nose.

"What's going on?" His face sank, "Do you want to face the saint like this?" Can you afford the great sin of losing your honor in front of the temple? ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to face the saint, the face of the palace maid in charge also changed, and she immediately glanced at Jing Wan'er: "Go wash and change clothes immediately, go quickly!" ”

Jing Wan'er didn't move, looked at the eunuch and said, "The slave and maid have been cleaning the toilet for three days in a row, and there are no clean clothes to change." ”

The face of the great eunuch turned black.

The palace maid in charge was slightly flustered, so she had to reprimand Jing Wan'er and said, "I'll send someone to send you a set, don't say more, go and clean it up!" ”

Since this was the case, Jing Wan'er slowly stood up, patted her dress with both hands, and turned around and left lightly.

After a lot of chaos, several palace maids jealously helped Jing Wan'er bathe and change clothes, and hurriedly lit incense to dispel the smell on her body.

Then they picked up Jing Wan'er's changed clothes and threw them into the stinky toilet in disgust.

Jing Wan'er stared at it and said slowly: "I only have these few sets of clothes, if I throw them away, I won't be able to go out to do the work in the future." "The palace maid's clothes, only one new one is made every quarter, and the few are pitiful, these people are disgusted and thrown away like this, and when they see Zhongzong come back, they still want her to bear the bitter fruits alone.

Seeing that the palace maid who lost her clothes stiffened her hands, she said with fear and hatred: "You freak, it's really..."

At this time, the palace maid in charge walked in with a gloomy face, "Isn't it okay, useless waste, how long do you have to make your father-in-law wait?" ”

Those palace maids hurriedly took out Jing Wan'er's clothes from the toilet, and knelt down in front of the master.

Jing Wan'er turned around before Shi Shiran turned around, "It's already fine, auntie." "The clothes on her body don't fit, it's really because none of the palace maids are as thin as her bones, twisted and pinched on her body, which is really unsatisfactory.

But the palace maid in charge didn't dare to delay, so she could only drive the ducks on the shelves and let Jing Wan'er out.

Who has the courage to make the Ninety-Five Zun wait too long.

The big eunuch swept Jing Wan'er with an indifferent expression, "Your Majesty summoned you, and you dare to be lazy, you are really a cheap maid." ”

Jing Wan'er lowered her eyes and was silent.

The eunuch waved the dust, snorted coldly, and took the lead to leave the miscellaneous room.

——

Pei Tan knelt in the Zichen Palace, I don't know how long he knelt, Zhongzong looked at him with indifferent and sharp eyes.

"Zong Huo's case and the case of the imperial examination, you have handled it very beautifully." Zhongzong's voice did not distinguish between joy and anger.

Pei Tan only lowered his body even more and said, "Weichen just did what he did. ”

Zhongzong's eyes suddenly sank: "But these two cases also made the Tang royal family and I lose face!" ”

Especially the latter case, it can be called a shame of the Tang Dynasty, and it has swept away the majesty of the Tang royal family accumulated for a hundred years.

Pei Tan knelt on the ground and was speechless.

Zhongzong snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Your Pei family has now been isolated by several major Guanzhong families, and this is all your credit." ”

Pei Tan blindly came up, which could only make people angry with the family behind him.

Pei Tan's eyes were light; "From the moment the Dali Temple was sealed, Weichen only obeyed His Majesty's orders and served the Tang royal family." No matter what the consequences, no matter who you offend.

If someone else wants to use Dali Temple to follow the rules, it is impossible to pass Pei Tan.

Zhongzong looked at him, his eyes were deep: "It seems that I am a civil and military official, and you are the only one who is loyal." ”

Pei Tan lowered his eyes: "That's not what the minister meant. ”

Zhongzong snorted coldly again, with his back to the study door, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Actually, I know in my heart that if these two cases were handed over to someone else at that time, maybe the face of the clan would be saved... At this moment, it will not get to the point of being in the same room of the family. But it is true that the dead die in vain, and the soul that dies unjustly will never have peace.

Zhongzong suddenly smiled, "Pei Aiqing, I heard that now there is already your Pei Qingtian's reputation in the market." You are using the face of my Tang royal family to fulfill your name. ”

Pei Tan suddenly kowtowed to the ground, and said for a long time: "If this is what Your Majesty thinks in your heart, then the minister will resign from the post of secretary of Dali Temple." ”

He was originally a son of the Pei family, and he had no idea of entering the general, nor did he have the heart to glorify his ancestors.

Zhongzong looked at him for a long time and was speechless, he knew that at the palace banquet held after ascending the throne, what he liked Pei Tan was the clarity between the man's eyebrows.

With such clear eyes, Zhongzong was swept up in the dirtiest sea of power since he was born, and it was the first time that he was shaken by such clarity.

This man doesn't do Dali Siqing, who else does.

"Well, I'm not an unknown Dumb King," even though the rumors about him didn't sound very good, Zhongzong continued, "I know what you want. ”

Dali Temple should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Pei Tan is the same for this Dali Temple.

At this moment, the eunuch at the door came in and reported: "The sin slave Jing Wan'er has been brought." ”

Zhongzong ordered with a cold face for a moment: "Bring it in." ”

On Pei's face, there was obviously a surprise that quickly crossed by. By this time the girl had already come in.

Jing Wan'er changed into new clothes, but unfortunately, the shoes under her feet were still the same as the original, and the soles of the shoes were even more stained with mud from nowhere, emitting a peculiar smell.

The eunuch who brought her in immediately knelt down in panic and said, "Your Majesty, this girl is not well-groomed, and the slave has already given her time to change her clothes and freshen up..."

Zhongzong frowned and didn't have time to care, and waved his hand to let the eunuch go down: "Go down." ”

Jing Wan'er stood in the hall with her eyebrows down, and when she came in and saw the man kneeling on the ground, her heart was already beating uncontrollably.

I saw her slowly hugging her skirt and kneeling down: "Sin slave Jing Wan'er see Your Majesty." ”

Zhongzong looked at her quietly, "Jing Wan'er, do you know why I summoned you?" ”

Jing Wan'er lowered her head and hid her emotions: "The slave doesn't know." ”

She is a palace maid who collects corpses, and even the smallest handyman in the palace can bully her, how can she know the mind of the Ninety-Five.

Pei Tan closed his eyes slowly, feeling Zhongzong's gaze, this entire Daming Palace is Zhongzong's, and everything that happens here can hardly be said to escape the eyes of this Son of Heaven.

What kind of life Jing Wan'er has lived in the miscellaneous room in the past five years, Zhongzong only needs to ask two people to ask to make it clear.

A "freak" who was bullied and abused by all the palace maids when he first entered the palace, and today scares all the palace maids who dare not approach. People who have been in the palace since they were young have not been able to cultivate so invulnerable, how did a former famous lady do it.

Zhongzong's gaze was stained with a cold chill: "Jing Wan'er, I want you to follow the side of Dali Temple, and everything will obey the dispatch of Dali Temple in the future." I must warn you that you must not go anywhere alone except for Dali Temple, otherwise it will be regarded as a defection, and at that time, I will not spare you! ”

Jing Wan'er clasped her head on the ground and put her hands on the ground, and said slowly: "The slave obeys the order, and the slave and the slave thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”

It wasn't Jing Wan'er's turn to ask why, she was a servant who could only listen to the dispatch.

"You wait outside the door first." Zhongzong said coldly.

Jing Wan'er bit her lower lip and slowly withdrew from the hall.

"Such a woman, staying in my Daming Palace, can I sleep peacefully?" Zhongzong looked at Pei Tan, "This woman is still young, but she is already ruthless and vicious, her hands are not merciful, she poisoned the son of Shangshu, and she can sleep with the dead corpse, Wei Xiang made it clear to me the day before yesterday, such a fierce daughter, the most suitable place to place it is still your Dali Temple." ”

Pei Tan realized that Zhongzong was not raising up this time, if he really felt that Jing Wan'er was unlucky, why didn't Wei Xuanzhen directly kill Jing Wan'er to Zhongzong.

But Pei Tan couldn't ask either, thinking of Jing Wan'er outside the hall at the moment, he could only slowly lower his eyes.

"Minister, obey the order."

Zhongzong waved his hand: "I have one thing, I am about to hand it over to you Dali Temple, don't let me down." ”
