Changtai's visit did not last long, with the successive reports from the people of the palace, the faces of the Queen Mother and Changtai were as heavy as water, feeling the cold breath in the Detai Palace, Su Ruhua and the four of them really regretted appearing here, only obediently stood in the corner without saying a word.

"Take it down! Don't stain the children's eyes! A palace man came up with a wooden plate, uncovered the brocade on the plate, and didn't know what was inside, the queen mother only glanced at it, and then ordered in a gloomy tone.

"Yes!"

Changtai turned the wrench on his thumb and suddenly said, "Where did this come from?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is what the Green Dream Court of Weiyue Palace searched from the Sixth Rank Cao Cainu."

"This is the first palace concubine to find something that shouldn't be there?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the fourth."

In just one hour, although the people who searched the palace did not find any more witch things, they found out other messy things, especially those concubines who were low-ranking and not very favored, because they were unprepared, they were actually in a mess.

Changtai rubbed his eyebrows, turned his head to the Queen Mother and said: "These six palaces ......" Others did not dare to speculate on the holy will, but the Queen Mother knew the emperor's thoughts well, patted his hand lightly, and said lightly: "Since it has been checked, then it will be investigated to the end, and we will talk about it after the search is completed." ”

Because it was the permission of the Queen Mother, the queen and the third concubine personally took the lead, and this search of the palace was extremely efficient. Li Guang still looked kind, even though the palace people holding physical evidence in the Detai Hall had already stood in two long strings, the old eunuch who had followed the Queen Mother for many years still knelt tepidly and asked for an order, and slowly told the day's gains: "...... Fifteen palace concubines were found to be inappropriate, among which the abortion items were safflower, musk, etc., and some were highly poisonous, and Mr. Jiao ......"

Su Ruhui's eyes were lowered, and when she heard Li Guang clearly report the fifteen people's residences and what they found, her body trembled slightly, and she wanted to raise her head quickly, but her eyes were halfway up, and Zhou Yi'er next to her quietly reached out and grabbed her, Su Ruhui felt that her hand was cold, and hurriedly held it back, and the two glanced at each other, and both saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

These fifteen concubines are all liked by Changtai, but their status is not high, that is, the last batch or the last batch of show girls who entered the palace......

The two of them were worried about Queen Zhou, and suddenly Li Guang spit out a position in his mouth: "Feilan Yuan is at the seventh grade of Han Niangzi, and a number of rune papers were found, and the eight characters of the birthday were painted on it, and the slave maid did not dare to hide it, so I hereby bring it, please make a decision for the Queen Mother!" ”

Feilanyuan Han Niangzi!

Su Ruhui gasped and hurriedly looked at the princes standing in a row with His Royal Highness!

The second prince standing beside the crown prince Gan Lin was wearing a robe embroidered with golden moire on a black background today, and when he heard this, the luxurious robe trembled unexpectedly, and then it was nothing.

The queen mother's voice spread in the hall, and she couldn't hear the joy and anger: "Present!" ”

For a while, the hall was silent as death, this was still the thing of the witch Gu found by Xin Cairen, Li Guang was the first to be reported to have found something related to the witch Gu after searching the palace, but I don't know Han Niangzi's birth date, whose birth date is it?

The old people in the Queen Mother's palace were all very eye-catching, but when they heard these words, they didn't look at Gan Ran, but a few old women standing in the corner, when they heard the "Eight Characters of Birth", they quietly glanced at Gan Lin.

Su Ruhui's heart sank: Could it be that the Han family is really confused? cursed the dead prince Ganlin, thinking that his son was expected to become a great prince?

Your Majesty, you're still young!

Even the Empress Dowager Jiayi is immortal!

I saw Li Guangyi wave his hand, a palace maid stepped forward in broken steps, holding a wooden plate, the queen mother personally uncovered the cover on the wooden plate, stared at it for a long time, and said lightly: "Reduced to a beauty!" ”

The breath in the palace was suffocated, and then it eased again.

Beauty is the lowest position in the palace, only above ordinary palace maids, in this position, often some palace maids are occasionally favored and promoted, or the daughter of a criminal official, or is disliked...... All in all, the beauty is said to be one level higher than the palace maids, but in fact, it is far less than the big and small palace maids who are slightly closer to the serious palace concubines.

However, with the conversation between the Queen Mother and Changtai just now, it was clear that she had made up her mind to give a heavy hand to this witch Gu, this Han family committed this taboo, and the seventh-grade lady was demoted to the eighth-grade beauty, the Queen Mother did not say much, it was already an extra kindness, needless to say, those who knew the inside story knew that the Queen Mother was actually thinking about the mood of the second prince to do so, and they were silent for a while, only Li Guang still said unhurriedly: "Yes!" ”

Next, Li Guang continued to report, and the Queen Mother and Changtai discussed slightly, and then set a punishment - fifteen palace concubines who were found to be inappropriate in the search of the palace were counted separately, Xin Cairen, snatched their positions, hanged and killed, all the subordinates of the Yuanlu Pavilion were killed with canes, and their parents and children went to southern Xinjiang, and they were confiscated as slaves! As for Xin Cairen's mother's family, the government order was accused of teaching her daughter no way, and Ling Zhishi, his mother, was given death! There is no blood before the Lantern Festival, and in these disposals, in addition to grabbing the position, the rest must be dealt with after the festival.

This is because the Queen Mother and Changtai don't want that Xincai to live longer at all, let alone make her feel better, so they will set such a punishment on the first day of the New Year without any scruples - it is estimated that Xincairen's mother's family received the news and could not live this year.

Su Ruhui and others all know that these punishments are just before. The play, the anger of the Queen Mother and Changtai is far from being able to be quelled by a Mandarin Dew Pavilion and Xinfu Ling. Thinking of the sentence "The Empress Dowager Jingsu's heart is too soft" and the death of Longhe's eight years that shrouded the Sixth Palace for more than two months, everyone's hearts were cold and they didn't dare to say more.

After disposing of it, the Queen Mother showed her lack of color, called Gan Lin, handed over Gan Pei, who was already sleepy, to him to hug, and ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Changtai to dine with her, and even ignored Huo Qinglian's gaze.

Su Ruhui and the princes silently withdrew from the Detai Palace, out of the hall, blown by the cold wind outside, Gan Pei in Gan Lin's hand suddenly coughed a few times, there were already the princes' nurses and grandmothers waiting outside, and hurriedly shook off the cloak to take Gan Pei over and wrap it.

At this time, under the corridor, a girl in palace clothes walked up, beautiful.

Su Ruhua settled down, and greeted the girl with everyone: "Miss Zhou! ”

Zhou Qingran is much brighter than Chinese New Year's Eve, she was born to be considered stunning, at this moment the snow is flying, but only wearing a crimson dark coat, the lower side of the moon white skirt, there is no decoration around the body, but on the snail bun, there are a few snowflake-like white plums, the dark fragrance floats, it is also beautiful, it is actually with a body of light, so that life is born with a bright and unbelievable feeling.

Even though the people here are used to seeing beauty, when they see her at this moment, they can't help but quietly praise her.

"The courtier, Zhou Qingran, has seen the crown prince, the four highnesses, the lord of Danzhu, Miss Huo, Miss Zhou and Miss Su!" Zhou Qingran's voice is sweet and crisp, extremely good, after the teaching of the Empress Dowager Jiayi, her every move has added a heavenly demeanor, if you are not in the know, I am afraid that you will think that she is the respected and envied princess in this palace.

"Isn't Miss Zhou cold?" Seeing that Zhou Qingran seemed to turn back from outside the palace, but only wore a thin palace dress, Huo Qinglian was allowed to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother some time ago, and Zhou Qingran was the most familiar among these people, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Thank you Miss Huo for asking, Qing Ran thinks it's okay." Zhou Qingran smiled faintly, as if there was no difference due to Huo Qinglian's extra concern, but after seeing the ceremony, he walked towards the hall.

However, the county lord of Danzhu reminded: "Sister Qingran, don't go in now, the queen mother has left Her Majesty to eat and eat." ”

As soon as Dan Zhu's words came out, Zhou Qingran actually stood still, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord Xie raised the point." "I actually made a mistake and went in the direction of the warm pavilion. Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui knew it in their hearts, and they wouldn't say anything. However, the crown prince Ganlin, the second prince Gan Ran and the third prince Gan Tang ...... Except for the seemingly ignorant Gan Mei and the ignorant Gan Pei, the three princes were all surprised and confused in their eyes.

Among them, Gan Lin and Gan Ran looked away at almost the same time and looked at Su Ruhua.
