Chapter 110: Misleading the People (I)
I bowed my head and turned over the booklet of the harem expenditure for the past two months. Fu Feng smiled and handed over a handkerchief. I don't bother to pick it up. frowned and said, "Why does this Qing Concubine Palace have so much more silver than others. How can the cost be so large other than the reasonable amount of money?"
Fufeng was slightly stunned. Pondered: "Niangniang doesn't know. This Qing Concubine is famous for her generosity towards her own children's palace. I usually like to reward the minions around me. Plus now she's pregnant. The emperor won't say anything."
I nodded faintly. Since the Queen Mother. There are more and more things to do in this house. Yongyan has advocated frugality in the palace since he ascended the throne. In order to save money in the palace. I'm going to release some of the older maids and eunuchs out of the palace. Especially the Queen Mother. All the people in the Cining Palace will be released in part. In the morning, he sent Xiao Anzi back to Yongyan. Yongyan asked me to do it.
Xiao Anzi came in and said with a smile: "Niangniang has accumulated a lot of blessings."
I turned around and smiled and asked, "Where did the Great Fortune come from?"
Xiao Anzi bowed down and said with a smile: "The current palace is praising Niangniang's virtue and kindness. Those palace maids in this palace have not seen their relatives since they entered the palace. Now I can finally go home. Naturally, I am grateful to Dade."
I was surprised and "oh." smack. Said cheerfully: "That is so. Just give it an account. Every maid and father-in-law who leaves the palace has a reward. Just go back and live a good life."
Xiao Anzi said "hey" and happily agreed. Hurriedly left. Fufeng covered his mouth and smiled: "This little Anzi is happy for others. He is also envious in his heart."
I smiled. The hairpin on his head was straightened with his hands. Bow your head and busily look through the accounts. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a while. After a while, it will be the people of the treasury again. You have to see each other about every day.
Fleur walked in softly and whispered in my ear, and said with a solemn expression: "Niangniang. When Xiao Weizi went to register the list of people out of the palace. Many fathers-in-law have been released from the palace today. Xiao Weizi found this on a father-in-law who was about to leave the palace."
Fleur carefully pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve. I took it and looked at it, and I was stunned for a long time." Isn't this the poem that day that bewitched the public and said that I had an affair with the second elder brother?"
Fu Hui said worriedly: "This little Wei Zi is also clever. Found in the place where the man lived. I didn't dare to say anything. Secretly brought one back. I think it's what the thief left of the past. Is he going to wronged the queen before leaving the palace?"
I put the pen in my hand coldly." Go tell Xiao Anzi to stop him and bring him over. Quietly keep quiet. This palace wants to see who is planning to calculate the second elder brother and this palace."
I took a light sip of tea. The teacup was placed heavily on the rosewood table. I glanced coldly at my father-in-law, who was kneeling down and trembling. What is your name. Where to be an errand."
"Back to the Emperor. Queen Mother. The minion was originally a minion in the Qing Concubine Palace of Yongshou Palace. Later, he was punished for poor service. The slave is called Xiaofuzi."
I was surprised and "oh." sighed." It turned out to be the person next to Qing Concubine. Look at your age and don't look too old. I'm thirty years old. Why did Concubine Qing take you out of the palace?"
Xiao Fuzi lowered his head and wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve. Said respectfully: "Back to the queen. Minions are stupid and useless. Qing Concubine Niangniang is really disgusted with tightness. Out of sight is pure. Qing Concubine sent the servants out of the palace."
"Do you know what this palace called you for?" I said coldly. Subconsciously glanced at Xiao Anzi. Xiao Anzi looked at Xiao Fuzi with a worried face.
Xiao Fuzi paused. Shook his head. "Minions. The minions don't know."
Fleur handed him the paper. Said lightly: "You will know when you see it."
Xiao Fuzi took the paper with trembling hands. A stunned look. I sneered: "Isn't Grandpa Fu looking familiar. This is what the people of Hongu Palace found in your baggage. Could it be that Father-in-law Fu is the culprit of the rumors. This palace wants to have no grievances with you. You must have been instructed by someone."
Xiao Fuzi kowtowed like pounding garlic and fell to the ground and didn't dare to raise his head." Back to the Queen. The minions don't know anything. These minions don't know what they are."
"Smack". I threw the cup on the ground in a fit of rage. Xiao Fuzi subconsciously shook his body. Xiao Anzi couldn't help but persuade on the side: "Brother Fu. You're telling the truth. Our queen mother Bodhisattva heart. As long as you tell the truth, I can guarantee that the queen will not pursue you."
Xiao Fuzi heard Xiao Anzi's sincere words. The affectionate expression on his face hesitated for a moment. Only then did he hesitate and said, "Go back to the queen. Minions are indeed the main culprits in spreading rumors. Slaves are also commanded. She gave her minions many rewards. She said just get it done. She can let the minions go back to her hometown."
I asked coldly, "Who is it?" Although the mouth asks so. But I have already guessed seven or eight points in my heart.
"It's a concubine. The minions she commanded. Earlier, the slave followed behind Concubine Qing and saw the queen and the second elder brother playing the piano and poems in the pavilion. Then it was Concubine Qing who asked the slave to invite the emperor to come and see. Later, Concubine Qing said that if she wanted to get rid of Niangniang, she had to start from the second elder brother. So he had his servants put a lot of these papers in front of the doors of the palaces overnight. Minions are damned." Xiao Fuzi said slowly. Watch my face sink little by little. I was even more scared.
Sure enough. It's her. Qing Concubine, this woman is really amazing. I frowned and thought silently.
"How much good she has given you." I asked nonchalantly.
Xiao Fuzi bowed his head and took out a delicate box from his baggage. When opened, there was an eastern pearl and a few ingots of gold. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "These things can really make you worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
I asked Xiao Anzi, who was stunned, lightly: "Where is the emperor now."
Xiao Anzi was slightly stunned. replied: "The emperor is at the Qing Concubine of Yongshou Palace. What is the mother going to do?"
"Swing the Yongshou Palace. Just right. can expose Concubine Qing in front of the emperor." I came up with a cold word. There was not a trace of emotion on his face.
As soon as Xiao Fuzi heard that I was going to tell the emperor. Immediately frightened and panicked. kept begging for mercy: "The emperor's mother spares her life. The queen spares her life. Minion. The minions are also forced to be helpless. If it weren't for the sake of the family. Slaves aren't going to do that."
I bowed my head and comforted: "Xiao Fuzi rest assured. This palace will not embarrass you. If the emperor blames you. This palace will intercede for you."
Xiao Fuzi slowly sat down on the ground. Overwhelmed.
