Chapter 69: You Were a Servant
Originally, everyone in the harem was nervous about whether the appearance of the lord of Xiaoxiao would change the pattern of the entire harem, but now seeing that she is so close to the emperor, all of them have no way to watch from the wall.
Even before the eight characters were skimmed, many concubines had already begun to plan how to prevent it from happening, and even how to get rid of it.
The news of the Imperial Garden quickly spread to the Queen's Palace, and after Murong Xiaoxiao heard what had happened, he didn't have any excessive reaction.
"The queen mother is really clever, I heard that the palace ladies in the harem are all messed up now, and some people should have quietly pondered how to deal with the lord of Xiaoxiao." Chen Haiying's eyebrows fluttered, she was still worried, but now it seems that she can rest assured, the queen doesn't need to make a move, she can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, it's just too good to be better.
Murong Xiaoxiao raised her head and glanced at her, and slowly shook her head in her heart.
is so gloating, and people haven't done anything to infringe on each other's interests, they are already thinking about dealing with others so viciously, and they are really not kind people by nature.
"Yanmei, do you have any other thoughts on this matter?"
Murong Xiaoxiao asked, but Wang Yanmei was flattered. She had a feeling that the queen seemed to be paying more and more attention to herself now, and there were many things that she didn't seem to listen to Chen Haiying's opinions, but wanted to see what she thought and how she looked.
Wang Yanmei is so proud, but she doesn't know that Chen Haiying's jealousy towards her is getting stronger and stronger.
The small emotions of these two people, Murong Xiaoxiao actually saw them all.
I have to say that she did it on purpose. These two people are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they will inevitably fight to the death in the future.
"Queen Mother, the slave thinks so, in fact, if any concubine accidentally falls, presumably the emperor will also reach out to help, right?" When Wang Yanmei mentioned the emperor, a flash of admiration quickly flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it well.
"There is a saying called the fans of the authorities, many people now only care about their own honor, and regard the county lord of Xiaoxiao as their mortal enemy, so no matter how you look at it, they feel that the county lord of Xiaoxiao is deliberate, and then they will directly distort the emperor's care and thoughtfulness, thinking that this is a deliberate teasing."
"The analysis makes a lot of sense, it does, so it's an accidental thing, what do you have to worry about? Could it be that if this does not happen, it must be taken lightly? Murong Xiaoxiao laughed amusedly, "Actually, there is no difference in the essence of this matter, whether there is a sudden fall or not, it can't change anything, and it can't decide anything, and the mediocrity disturbs itself, so why bother too much." ”
"Let's talk about the clues such as arson in the cold palace before." Murong Xiaoxiao is more interested in finding out the truth and taking out all the people who want to kill her at every turn, and cutting off the claws that are likely to hurt her one by one.
"The queen mother rest assured, I have just gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check and compare the materials, although there are indeed many mothers in the harem who can have these materials, but they are still in the palace, and they have this qualification and position to receive them
, in fact, there are only a dozen people. ”
Wang Yanmei listed the names one by one, excluding a few people who had already died a long time ago, and there were only six people who could get the silk that could be received by Ronghua's position before they were able to get the position of Ronghua above these glory.
Murong Xiaoxiao picked up the pen and listed the names of the six people on the paper one by one.
Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Ma Ronghua, Xin Jieyu, Shangguan Zhaorong, Ou Guifei......
In addition to these six people, there are four other positions that are not enough to receive such a high grade and high-quality silk, but they are rewarded from the lord's mother.
Murong Xiaoxiao also listed the names of those people.
Yin Concubine, Yin Shunyi, Lin Xiaoyuan, Lin Meiren, Li Guiren.
Scattered, even after some investigation, there are still more than a dozen people.
"What is the specific situation of these people, can there be another round of investigation and interrogation?"
In fact, he can already exclude Li Guiren and Xin Jieyu in his heart, but the process on the face still has to be walked.
Even minus, nine people have become suspicious objects.
Thinking of this, Murong Xiaoxiao pinched her eyebrows with a little headache. No matter who it is, it is very suspicious, whether there is a grudge or no grudge, becoming a queen is the public enemy of everyone, and anyone may be resentful, or even free up their hands to deal with themselves.
"Concubine De, Xin Jieyu and Li Guiren, at least for now, can be ruled out." Before Murong Xiaoxiao could speak, Wang Yanmei had already ruled it out first.
"Looks like you already have the object of suspicion, let's hear it." Murong Xiaoxiao's impressive and recognition of Wang Yanmei made Chen Haiying feel quite depressed on the side.
"When Concubine Xian was in the affairs of the Sixth Palace, Concubine De was very favored, but even so, she was still pressed and beaten, and there was no possibility of resistance at all, what the slave knew was that at that time, guiding consumption really ascended to the throne of the queen, Concubine De must be the most painful, and it is very likely that she will lose a lot of grace because of this. Although the queen is in the cold palace, the queen's position has not been abolished, as long as the queen is still there, there is no way for the virtuous concubine to become the queen quickly. ”
Murong Xiaoxiao nodded, and his analysis was indeed very reasonable.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, as Concubine De's faction, unless she is similar to Zheng Xinran, who is secretly in the same faction as herself, it is absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to herself.
"Lin Meiren is attached to Concubine De, so basically, as long as Concubine De doesn't do it, she has no reason to do it."
Chen Haiying was not to be outdone, and hurriedly expressed some of her thoughts and opinions.
Murong Xiaoxiao nodded in approval, she hurriedly raised her confidence, and continued: "Whether it is Concubine Xian or Ma Ronghua and others, if they get rid of Niangniang, they will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits, and they are particularly simple benefits. ”
Chen Haiying paused for a moment and continued to say slowly: "Yin Shunyi and Lin Xiaoyuan are not particularly favored now, coupled with the suppression of Concubine De, there is not much spare time to deal with the queen mother. ”
"Not necessarily." Wang Yanmei shook her head in disapproval, so directly pointed out Haiying's problem, which made Chen Haiying's face a little unbearable.
"Not necessarily? What kind of grudge can they have with the queen's mother, besides, they have been suppressed by Concubine De so much that they can't raise their heads at all, and there is only a little pitiful favor left, what big thing can they achieve? Chen Haiying frowned and retorted.
"This palace also wants to hear it, why do you say that these two people may not be the ones who made the shot?"
Murong Xiaoxiao has a set of things that want to provoke the contradictions between these two people, and only if their attention is on competing with each other, can they prevent them from dealing with their own minds.
has deliberately explained to his father, as well as the eldest brother of the bath, to find a reliable person to send to the palace, but at least in these two months, he may not be able to find a suitable person.
As long as women are idle, they are prone to cranky planning more, although they are not yet able to grow their wings hard, but as long as a little bit of thought is revealed, it will bring more trouble to themselves.
When no one is available, these two people should be particularly useful in their practical use.
"The queen mother, Yin Shunyi and Lin Xiaoyuan are not from high backgrounds, and the queen mother actually disliked them at the beginning?"
Being reminded like this, Murong Xiaoxiao remembered what she had said harshly.
"Hehe, this palace has indeed said a lot before, which makes people listen to very harsh words." Murong Xiaoxiao raised her hand and pinched her temples, thinking about it, it seemed that there were many people who had offended.
But so what's the point? As a queen, she is also offended if she doesn't offend people, and she doesn't care about one or two more things.
"To put it mildly, the harem is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the slaves and maids are the last, but there will always be some people with strong self-esteem, not to mention those slaves and maids who are constantly trying to climb up, just to be able to get the emperor's favor."
When Wang Yanmei spoke, she tried her best not to show any emotion, but it was a pity that Murong Xiaoxiao now paid special attention to every fluctuation of their expressions, even if it was fleeting, she could capture it in time.
"In your words, whether it is the lowest-level slave or a show girl with a relatively humble family background, she has her own arrogance deep down, so she will want to strive to climb up, become a superior person, and get rid of this kind of fate that is looked down upon by others, and there is no way to make your own decisions, right?"
"Yes, the queen mother, and the more a person cares about his background, then when he has become the emperor's favorite concubine, there is no way to tolerate others looking at him with that kind of contempt and disgust as before." Wang Yanmei said this, and then added.
"The queen mother is the lord of the six palaces, and she naturally has the arrogance to look down on the world, but there is no way to control people's hearts, in the eyes of the slaves, Yin Shunyi and Lin Xiaoyuan are really the ones who vent their anger on the queen mother."
"Bengu probably understands what you want to say, in other words, they come from humble backgrounds, and they have always had bad intentions because of Bengu's humiliation. If it's smooth sailing, naturally it can't tolerate other people's cheapness, and the dislike of this palace at that time made them a laughing stock among the six palaces, but because this palace is the queen, they dare not speak out, right? ”
"Yes."
"But just by guessing, that's just guessing after all." Murong thought about it and looked at Chen Haiying with a smile.
"Bengong thinks that Concubine Xian wants to put Bengong to death everywhere, and the possibility of people from that faction will be higher." Murong Xiaoxiao voiced her suspicions.
"Maybe the slave maid was not thoughtful, but the result of the slave maid's investigation did not find that except for the virtuous concubine and the concubine, their palace people secretly approached the direction of the cold palace in private, let alone contact with the guards in the cold palace."
Regarding her own investigation, Wang Yanmei did make full preparations, so she was also very confident when answering Murong Xiaoxiao's questions.
"Queen Mother, Yin Shunyi and Lin Xiaoyuan, there are people who have been in contact with the cold palace more than once."
Murong Xiaoxiao didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Wang Yanmei would be able to find so much.
After listening carefully to how she investigated and how she came to the final conclusion, Murong Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.
"Now that you and Haiying are by the side of this palace, this palace can feel a lot more at ease and worry-free."
"The queen mother is really too elevated to the slave maid, Sister Haiying has followed the queen mother for so many years, so naturally she knows the queen mother better than the slave maid."
"Don't be modest, you all have your own strengths and advantages, this palace knows in my heart." Although Murong Xiaoxiao said this, it was obvious that Chen Haiying already had a grudge against Wang Yanmei in her heart.
Judging from the current situation of these two people, Murong Xiaoxiao can be sure that Chen Haiying's sense of revenge is much stronger than Wang Yanmei's.
It's no wonder that in the previous life, she would inexplicably betray, in addition to the selfishness of the inferior nature, there must be because of jealousy.
Obviously, the two of them have their own merits, and in order to win her favor, Wang Yanmei tried her best in everything, and even gambled at the risk of her own safety.
It's strange that people like this don't succeed.
However, Chen Haiying did not check what her skills were inferior, but directly hated herself and Wang Yanmei, but she was afraid that she still felt infinitely wronged in her heart.
Thinking about it, Chen Haiying should think that she grew up with her, after all, she is a higher level and more different than others.
"Since Yin Shunyi and Lin Xiaoyuan are both suspected of potentially harming the palace, let's find an opportunity to let the concubines of the sixth palace take turns to serve the sick." Murong Xiao chuckled, and already had a way to test it in his heart.
As long as she doesn't take power, sometimes unconscious and sometimes sober, there are so many concubines in this harem, and taking turns to serve the sick can also make it easier for them to know their own situation, let alone make anyone wary of themselves.
Even for these harem concubines, they may be able to take advantage of the opportunity to meet the emperor by waiting for the sick.
The emperor would come to visit him every day, although the time was uncertain, but for those women who had not received the emperor's favor for a long time, it was very likely that they would have the opportunity to regain the emperor's favor if they did.
All in all, this is an opportunity, not a hot potato.
Murong Xiaoxiao had a sly smile in her eyes, so that in the process of this world, she could also choose some concubines and slowly transform them into her own people.
Those who have not been favored for a long time must have experienced the tormenting days when they want to take the initiative to attach themselves to each other but no one is willing to accept it.
Offering to belong to a certain camp, but being completely rejected because he is not favored, will inevitably receive a lot of cynicism.
This kind of person who has been favored, or has received a little grace, and then has never had the opportunity to speak out, will inevitably feel the warmth and coldness of human affection.
Originally, he could only take the opportunity to get close to the emperor by serving the sick, and at this time, he threw an olive branch to these concubines who were no longer favored, which was much better than icing on the cake.
What's more, although she, the queen, is now sick, she has the emperor's favor, and smart people will make the most correct choice.
After getting on the same boat, it is not easy to get down.
Murong Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she was calculated and almost lost her life, but Sai Weng lost his horse, who knew if it was a blessing.
Wang Yanmei retreated, and it didn't take long for the harem to come to the news that after the queen woke up, she notified the concubines of the six palaces to take turns to serve the sick.
Since it was Murong Xiaoxiao's order, Murong Xiaoxiao had already arranged for whom's time to serve the sick.
Since Concubine De was in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, Murong Xiaoxiao saved her from overwork.
The order of all reagents is from the favored and unfavored ones to be on duty for half a day.
On this day, Yin Shunyi came.
Seeing that Murong Xiaoxiao woke up, she hurriedly helped her up carefully and considerately.
"Shunyi Yin, ask the queen mother." Seeing the queen looking at herself, Yin Shunyi knelt down respectfully and made a big salute.
"Yin Shunyi?" Murong Xiaoxiao frowned and thought, and then waved her hand to get her up.
"Get up and speak."
"Thank you, Queen."
"This palace is not mistaken, before this palace entered the cold palace, you and Lin Xiaoyuan should have been in the limelight, and even Concubine De's favor was robbed a lot."
Murong Xiaoxiao looked sick, but there was curiosity and exploration between her eyebrows and eyes.
"The queen mother laughed, but the emperor liked to be accompanied by concubines during that time." Yin Shunyi is indeed soft and submissive.
"Hongu wants to drink water." Murong Xiaoxiao didn't answer, and began to instruct others to serve him.
"Bengong probably still remembers, you were originally a waiter, no wonder these things are so handy."
Murong Xiao's deliberate words made Yin Shunyi's face a little pale.
Murong Xiaoxiao pretended to be careless on the surface, but in fact he was quietly observing. However, Yin Shunyi did feel a little sorry for herself, but she didn't have the slightest disgust and dissatisfaction with the queen.
"Yes, the queen has a good memory, and the heat can make the queen feel comfortable, and that is also the honor of the concubine."
Seeing that Yin Shunyi was so humble and respectful, Murong Xiaoxiao asked again.
"Hehe, how many people in this harem are looking forward to the palace being bad, don't you understand it in your heart?"
Murong Xiaoxiao leaned on the side of the bed and snorted softly.
"I'm afraid that's not what you're thinking at the moment, right?" Murong Xiaoxiao's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was irresistible certainty in her tone.
"Although you used to be a slave and maidservant, but after so many years, you are already the emperor's concubine, and you are a famous master in this harem......"
