Chapter 31: I'm Still Your Dependence
Along the way, Murong Hua didn't give Xu Xiangshan any chance to speak, just walked with a calm face, and couldn't see any joy or anger at all.
Xu Xiangshan didn't dare to speak without permission, and followed him until he reached the Shiqian Palace, and Murong Hua retreated from everyone, leaving Xu Xiangshan alone to ask: "Xu Ronghua, what made Shen Xiurong like this?" The two of you live together in the Huiyin Palace, you should know. ”
"Queen Mother, it's the concubine's mistake. The concubine should not tell Sister Xiurong about the things at home, and Sister Xiurong will be depressed. Xu Xiangshan didn't dare to hide it, and she didn't expect that it would make Shen Yulan have heart palpitations at that time.
"What's going on in Shen Xiurong's family, why doesn't this palace know?"
"Shen Xiurong's father forced her mother to commit suicide because of her affair, and the concubine also heard the rumors from the people in the palace, so she confirmed it with Sister Xiurong, afraid that her sister would not know such a big change in the family, and her sister was very surprised when she heard it...... "Xu Xiangshan knew very well, and he actually said it in detail.
"Is this real?"
"Sister Xiurong wrote home two days ago to find out, and I don't know if I have received a reply now?"
"Xu Ronghua, whether this matter is true or not, you shouldn't reveal it to Shen Xiurong, do you know how much of a sin it is to wantonly spread rumors in the harem and cause damage to the palace concubine's body?" Murong Hua asked sharply.
Xu Xiangshan really didn't expect Murong Hua to get angry so quickly, so she quickly knelt down: "The concubine was concerned about it at the time, and she didn't expect that this matter would have such a big impact on Sister Xiurong." It was the concubine who was careless, and the concubine knew her mistake. ”
"Since there is a mistake, then it needs to be punished, so as to give an explanation and warning to everyone in the harem." Murong Hua seemed to be angry just now for a moment, and when he said this, he was already very calm, "For your sake, you didn't mean to, you will be grounded for seven days and fined for ten days." During the seven days of this confinement, take care of Shen Xiurong and make up for your mistakes. ”
"Concubine Xie Queen Mother, the mistakes made by the concubines must be made up for with all their hearts." After saying this, Xu Xiangshan kowtowed deeply, and then withdrew from the Shiqian Palace.
After Xu Xiangshan left, Murong Hua called Nan Qing to his side: "Report this matter to Your Majesty, you should know what to say, go." ”
About half an hour later, Mo Xiu's hand had an extra report on a simple matter handed over by Nan Qing, Mo Xiu handed over the letter to Yuan Yi, and Yuan Yi only then knew that such an incident had happened in the morning, but seeing that Murong Hua handled it very well, he was reluctant to ask more, and it was not too important for the time being that this matter did not involve Lu Meiluo.
However, at this time, Mo Xiu still asked Yuan Yi a question: "Your Majesty, just now Leng Xi came over and said that Concubine Shuniang wanted to secretly investigate this matter to ensure that there was no other malicious intent, can Mo Xiu do it?" ”
"Oh? Did Concubine Shu ask her to check? Yuan Yi still didn't expect Lu Meiluo to suddenly have more thoughts.
"Yes, but Niangniang sent Leng Xi to investigate, so naturally she didn't shy away from Your Majesty's matter." Mo Xiu was afraid that Yuan Yi would think too much about Lu Meiluo's other thoughts.
"I understand her thoughts. It was the last incident that scared her, and I used to hope to protect her, but now I am even happier to see her slowly learn to protect herself. This is Yuan Yi's truth, as long as things are done through his people, he doesn't have any suspicions, he prefers to see a strong, unbullied Lu Meiluo, because there is no guarantee that something will happen to him unpredictable in the future.
"Your Majesty still understands the mind of the lady concubine. The queen's way of handling things is still as decisive as it was back then, and it has also relieved His Majesty's worries a lot. ”
"The queen is a person who is good at seeing the situation clearly, she will not mess around. However......" Yuan Yi seemed to remember something, "How happened to Murong Yao's secret recruitment of scholars a few months ago?" ”
"Lord Murong is very secretive, and a few people will be selected in each place to deliberately solicit favors, and they are all people who seem to have nothing to do with Lord Murong to do it, and the results are very great. Our people are doing it too, but they are more cautious for fear of being detected. "Although a lot of things have happened in the capital in the past few months, Mo Xiu has not relaxed these things.
"Murong Yao is always very accurate in the direction of the wind, and the queen is very similar to him."
"The queen has saved Your Majesty a lot of effort and made Your Majesty feel at ease."
"That's why I haven't moved her, I can guess a lot of things, but I don't want to put them on the surface. For the time being, neither of them needs to move, you command the people below. ”
"Yes, the minister will arrange it. There is also the matter of Yun Pavilion, and the minister has found some traces here. ”
"Say it."
"The Cloud Pavilion arose in the rivers and lakes ten years ago, but people don't know much about this organization, only their plum blossom imprint, but they don't know anything else. Through some special channels, our people learned that this Cloud Pavilion may have something to do with the people of the previous dynasty, and as for who it has to do with it, it has not yet been found out. "This is the only bit of news that Mo Xiu has found in the past few days.
"Yun Ge did those things under Zhang Junwu's nose, which shows that he is very clear about us, but we don't know much about them, which is very bad for us. At this stage, to see if we can find out whether it is friend or foe to us, we must first find out what their intentions are. Yuan Yi believed that since this Cloud Pavilion suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, it was still so obvious, he must not be afraid of them checking it.
"Yes, the minister will keep an eye on this matter."
"You leave this matter to Jun Wu, he is in charge of matters outside the palace, and he will handle it."
Just talking about this, the people outside the hall asked for instructions that Murong Hua was coming, Yuan Yi didn't expect her to come at this time, and motioned to let her in, Mo Xiu turned around and retreated outside the hall very interestingly, and when he came out of the palace, he met Murong Hua and saluted respectfully: "Queen Niangniang." ”
"Master Mo doesn't need to be polite." For Mo Xiu, Murong Hua has never dared to slack off, this person is Yuan Yi's closest and most trusted person in the palace, if he wants to get close to Yuan Yi, this person can't get around, but Mo Xiu is very cold in the palace, and Murong Hua doesn't know what this person's weakness is.
Murong Hua walked into the hall, Yuan Yi was looking out the window, as if thinking about something, she interrupted: "Concubine please Your Majesty." ”
Yuan Yi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and turned his head to look at her: "Is there something wrong with the queen?" ”
"The concubine has come to ask you for advice on how to deal with this morning's affairs."
"You handled it well, I'm satisfied, is there anything else that needs to be dealt with?"
"What happened to Shen Xiurong's family, the concubine hopes that His Majesty can send someone out of the palace, no matter what happens, Shen Xiurong can rest assured. The harem is at ease, and His Majesty can have no worries in the previous dynasty. Murong Hua made this suggestion very sincerely.
"The queen is indeed thoughtful, and she deserves to be the master of the harem chosen by me." Yuan Yi's words were half-true, but in Murong Hua's ears, this was a special appreciation, and his heart suddenly burst into joy, and his expression at Yuan Yi softened a little.
"Your Majesty has a reputation, it is the duty of the concubines to make His Majesty's harem stable, and the concubines have always been on His Majesty's side, no matter what the situation is in the future." This is what Murong Hua wanted to say to Yuan Yi when he came here, a lot of things have happened in the palace recently, although she didn't put it on the surface, but she knew it. In order for Yuan Yi to know her position and intentions, she must do something.
"I understand your intentions, so I can trust the harem to you." As soon as Yuan Yi said this, even he didn't believe it anymore, he found that these nonsense was becoming more and more distracted, and then shouted "Mo Xiu" outside the hall.
Mo Xiu quickly walked into the hall when he heard the voice: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”
"You send someone to investigate the matter of Shen Xiurong's family, and inform the queen of the results within two days, the queen has taken a lot of trouble to find out about this matter as soon as possible."
"Yes, the minister understands that the minister will give the queen a result within two days." Mo Xiu replied very simply, and then saluted Murong Hua, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister retires." ”
"Go ahead!" Yuan Yi replied, then turned his head to Murong Hua and said, "The queen has been tired these days and handled this matter well." I still have government affairs to deal with here, so let's step back if I have nothing else to do. ”
Murong Hua originally stayed in the Taiji Hall for a little longer, since Yuan Yi had something to do, as a sensible queen, she should leave immediately, so even if she didn't want to, she still bowed and withdrew from the Taiji Palace, besides, today's purpose has been achieved, there is really no need to stay here longer.
Devil's Theatre
A few days ago, Murong Hua got into trouble, and he hasn't come out of the cold palace yet.
There were a few small transparent shrimp in the fish tank in her hall, and His Majesty looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time and asked her what she was raising.
She said, "Shrimp! ”
His Majesty was stunned for a moment and left......
She was also stunned, and quickly explained loudly: "Your Majesty, shrimp! Your Majesty, shrimp! Your Majesty is really a shrimp!! It's real shrimp!! ”
