Chapter Eighty-Three: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Really?" Yan Zi still didn't believe it, those women looked very gentle, not as hungry and thirsty as Xu Zhangshi said, would they really do such a shameful thing?
Xu Zhangshi was stunned, he didn't dare to say too much, and he was still a little afraid of Yan Zi in his heart, not to mention that these were gossips from other people's mouths, if it wasn't like this, wouldn't it be a bully, so he didn't dare to be too sure.
"Slaves and maids are all heard from other people's mouths, and they don't know much about it, maybe it's not like that and it's not necessarily." Xu Zhangshi kept bowing his head and replying, never daring to look up at Yan Zi between words, and even Yu Guang didn't dare to glance at her more, and there were all kinds of ambiguities between the words, not wanting to offend, it seemed that he was scared.
Yan Zi glanced at him, he didn't like this kind of timid and afraid of people the most, and he was too serious to do things at his age and had no reliable people, so he no longer disliked them, and made do with them.
"That's it, you step down, I'll take care of this matter."
Xu Zhangshi exhaled, patted his chest, and a sense of relief arose, then stood up and hurriedly ran out of the palace. And Yan Zi also sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, never believing that these educated women would do such a thing. In addition, who are the relevant palace concubines, since the matter has come out, it is even more necessary to investigate it thoroughly.
Anyway, there is nothing else to do today, so I simply go there in person. Yan Zi smiled and ordered someone to take the palace maid's costume and put it on, and then used rouge and gouache to cover and decorate her face, and looked at it against the bronze mirror to make sure that she couldn't even help herself before going to the other courtyard.
This is where the former show girl lived, and it was inevitably a little shabby because no one lived in the past. However, the official residences are still under construction and demolition, and there is no land to resettle them, so they will be left here for the time being. Only then did he order someone to clean and repair it, although it was still a little simpler, it was also clean, especially after the light rain, the ground was slightly glowing, and it could also be sprinkled down through the moonlight, and he could clearly launch his own appearance from the ground, and he felt that he had a different artistic conception.
Anyway, Yan Zi likes it very much. Especially on the winding path, the occasional fallen leaves float over and slide to the shoulders and then fall to the soles of the feet, looking like fairies flying from an ethereal place from a distance, wanting to give beautiful gifts to the world.
But this beautiful and pleasant state of mind did not last long, and as I gradually approached the room, I suddenly heard all kinds of sharp foul language, which broke the tranquility of the scenery.
Yan Zi couldn't help frowning and quickened his pace, and the more he got inside, the more clearly he heard all kinds of complaints. Some complained about the poor house, and some people complained about the low status, saying that they were obviously female officials, why did they live in the place where the former show girl lived, and also said that it was unfortunate here, and all kinds of words were endless.
Until Yan Zi brought things over, he still didn't see them have any scruples, isn't there a saying that the wall has ears, they are good, they didn't pay attention to it when they saw that it was the palace maid who came in.
still said this to himself, until Yan Zi said that he came by order, and he was surrounded by people like a baby. Before Yan Zi could say what they were sending, they had unceremoniously lifted the cloth covering the tray and began to share the peaches on the plate.
That's right, it's a peach, that's right, it's two peaches to kill three soldiers. I think that one of the tricks Yan Zi used to get rid of the four major leaders was to kill the three soldiers with two peaches, and today it is obvious what she wants to do.
It's just that these female officers who were scrambling didn't notice this, until a small group of people didn't get it in the end, they felt that the peaches were not enough to eat, and asked Yan Zi to get up.
"What's the matter, when we have so many people, why are there only so many of us. Is Your Majesty mistaken? A female official who didn't grab the peach questioned Yan Zi unhappily, and her words were full of jealousy and reprimand.
"Haha, how is it possible, how shrewd Your Majesty is, she can manage the entire country well, how can she not even figure out this little thing. Naturally, there is a reason for this, maybe in the eyes of His Majesty, you are not worthy of having peaches. A female officer who got the peach proudly walked around among the female officials with a big peach.
The other female officials looked down at the peach in their hands, it didn't seem to be as big as hers, and they were a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, there were still many people who didn't, so they were mentally balanced and silently stepped aside.
"You!" When she said this, the woman was not happy, and immediately came up to fight with the man, and then in the middle of the scramble, the woman's big peach fell to the ground, and the juice spilled out. The other female officers took the opportunity to kick and stomped on the peaches.
It's horrible, it's horrible. Yan Zi could see clearly on the side, where did these women have the demeanor of everyone on weekdays, and they were clearly no different from the shrews in the market.
It's really chilling, it's so chilling. At the selection meeting that day, although Yan Zi was not allowed to stare at the whole time, he took a cursory look at it, and the women who were selected were all full of poetry and books. But I didn't expect that it would be difficult to escape the ugly side of jealousy and competition in private, but yes, it's all how mortals can get the noble side. Thinking about the harem beauties of the previous dynasty, they were all noble princesses, and they were not like crazy women who fought for the emperor's favor and had no face, sad, pathetic.
She didn't want to pay attention to it, turned around and left, she wanted to see how far these people would make trouble without anyone in charge. I didn't expect to walk a few steps and meet Shi Yanshang in a hurry, and heard the palace maid say that they were noisy again, so I put down the dishes and chopsticks and came over, but I didn't expect to meet Yan Zi halfway. At this time, Yan Zi had already wiped off the smear on his face and could clearly identify his facial features.
Shi Yanshang didn't expect that even Yan Zi knew about this matter, which proved that he had no way to manage, and he blamed himself even more, and he came up to kowtow and admit his mistakes.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have no way to manage, please forgive your Majesty."
Yan Zi was distressed and helpless, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Look at you, the dark circles under your busy eyes have come out but it doesn't work, I see that your discipline method has to be improved." ”
Saying this, Shi Yanshang became even more embarrassed, feeling that he was not doing a good job and didn't know what to say. Yan Zi didn't want to say any more, this girl would be even more uncomfortable if she continued to talk about it, it's just that, in the end, she is weaker, and this character will have to be sharpened in the future.
"That's it, go ahead of yourself, I want to go somewhere else." Yan Zi picked up Shi Yan's clothes and walked away. Passing through the Jinhua Palace, I want to go in but don't want to enter, this used to be a place where I could talk about the world, and a conversation with Shangguan Jinzhong is always refreshing, but Shangguan Jinran is not so simple.
It's a real headache, and now I think about all kinds of things around my head.
Wait, Shangguan Jinran isn't very powerful, why not take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and solve everything. Thinking about it like this, I suddenly became much brighter, and my steps became lighter. Yan Zi strode towards the Jinhua Hall to meet the two brothers.
As soon as he entered the house, Shangguan Jinran came out to pick up the car with a smile on his face, and the girl who looked very much like a Qinglou made Yan Zi laugh.
"Shangguan Gongzi seems to like life here very much, and I see that you are living quite well. However, I did not come here today to drink tea and chat, but to discuss serious matters. You are a master of using poison, and naturally medicine is not a problem, so I want to ask if there is any medicine that can't kill people after eating, but after eating it, itchy is unbearable, so that people can't survive and die? ”
Yes? Shangguan Jinran was stunned, but soon returned to his senses, and looked at Yan Zi with a sly expression, "Why does Your Majesty suddenly want these things, isn't it to teach some disobedient palace concubine?" You can't do it on purpose to deal with my brother, right? "Laughing so loudly, I heard Yan Zi goosebumps.
"Haha, Shangguan Gongzi has a lot of ideas, no wonder he can develop all kinds of strange prescriptions. But you're wrong, I just want to rectify some disobedient girls and teach them a lesson. Make some for me, do a good job, and enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”
Shangguan Jinran heard that this idea was good, and it was naturally good to be able to get so much wealth at once, so he agreed.
Yan Zi smiled and patted him on the shoulder in affirmation.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both with evil and terrifying expressions, but they didn't say a word, as if they both had their own understandings and felt that they had their own thoughts. Anyway, Shangguan Jinzhong, a bystander, can't understand it.
Yan Zi returned to the dormitory, and the little palace maid beside him was gone, and he thought of ordering him to come over and wait for a change of clothes, but no one answered for a long time.
The little eunuch said back and forth that he was having a stomach trouble, but Yan Zi didn't pay attention to it and called another palace maid to serve and wash. In fact, the palace maid secretly took advantage of Yan Zi's absence to go to the Xiunu Courtyard to reveal the news.
Tell them that the ugly girl who gave the peaches just now is actually Her Majesty the Empress, and tell them to be cautious. As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, only to feel a cold neck, and a black heart in front of them.
Especially the female officer with the big peach felt that her head was going to move, and she subconsciously swallowed saliva and touched her neck and head. I looked in the mirror again, and I always felt that my beautiful neck and delicate facial features were about to leave my body.
The other female officers looked at her with a sneer, waiting for the moment when she was finished.
How could this be, everyone didn't expect that the woman who came just now was actually Her Majesty the Empress, so it was obvious that the wrong number of peaches just now was done on purpose, but unfortunately none of them could have thought of it. So what happens next? I have heard that His Majesty also uses this trick to deal with the four major leaders, and I have also heard that countless corrupt officials have been washed in blood, these are all merciless, I don't know if I will be merciful in dealing with them.
This night, no one could sleep well, and they were worried that their heads would move when they fell asleep. However, after a night, except for the occasional light rain, there was no sound. When they wake up, everything is normal, could it be that His Majesty has decided to let them go?
Although everyone was frightened, they never came, everything was normal in the morning, and Yan Zi didn't mention anything about last night. An hour or two later, he retired on time, and everything was uneventful. The female officers were still a little worried, showing the unity and quietness that are rare in the usual, and everyone was holding hands and did not make a fuss.
But one of the female officers suddenly said that her stomach hurt and she wanted to go to Daxi, so she left.
