The queen's purpose is to use this matter to find the most appropriate reason for today's witchcraft technique, if it is to blame Concubine Rou at will on weekdays, Emperor Beiyan may not believe it, and now Concubine Rou is unable to intercede for her brother, and she curses Emperor Beiyan and the queen with witchcraft magic, all of this seems reasonable, so it is not flawed!

The queen said at this time: "Your Majesty, maybe you really misunderstood Sister Roufei, Sister Roufei values love and righteousness, and has been with Your Majesty for more than ten years, and has been doing her best, how could she curse and murder Your Majesty." ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Shun, and Concubine Shun bowed slightly: "Hey, although it is said that Zhao Gongzi grew up with Concubine Rou, but the concubine does not believe that Concubine Rou's sister will perform witchcraft on His Majesty and the Queen Mother because Zhao Gongzi was beheaded." ”

Emperor Beiyan's face improved slightly, but after hearing Concubine Shun's words, he looked difficult again, looking at the embarrassed woman who was sitting on the ground, his eyes were full of fierceness, and there was no trace of pity.

The corners of Chu Luoyi's mouth hooked a sneer, the queen is the queen after all, and now it seems that the queen can sit in this position, not just because she has a strong family power behind her, on the contrary, but because she sits firmly in this position, the Mu family can rise completely.

The queen and Concubine Shun sang and harmonized, which seemed to excuse Concubine Rou, but in fact, every sentence was hidden.

In the eyes of Emperor Beiyan, if Concubine Rou is really affectionate, then she and her brother have a deep brotherhood, and they have grown up together since childhood, and the love between brother and sister is naturally far better than that of herself, a husband who embraces left and right, and it is not difficult to kill her husband for her brother.

If Concubine Rou doesn't value friendship, she really doesn't have a trace of resentment towards the husband who killed her brother, then either this woman hides all her resentment, or she is cold by nature! Either way, it's enough for an emperor to alienate her!

Therefore, after listening to Concubine Shun's words, Emperor Beiyan had a mustard for Concubine Rou, and once the mustard was generated, it was difficult to eliminate.

Emperor Beiyan's speculation about this seems to have no reason at all, but for the emperor, it is reasonable.

Concubine Rou clenched her fists tightly, her nails even rubbed some blood on the ground, thinking of the brother who treated her very well, she didn't know what his situation was, but she was full of doubts, and her heart ached for a while.

"Someone, send Concubine Rou into the cold palace, and wait for the fate!" Emperor Beiyan looked at the embarrassed woman on the ground and said in a cold voice.

The mandarin duck pounced all of a sudden: "Your Majesty.. Your Majesty.. Our mother is wronged, she will never do such a thing... This cloth man was made by a slave maid, and it was the slave maid who admired the eldest young master, but His Majesty was bent on putting him to death, and the slave and maid were resentful, and resented that the queen often bullied our master, so the slave and maid would perform this witchcraft on His Majesty and the queen. ”

Emperor Beiyan looked at the maid who knelt in front of him, clutching the hem of his clothes, and felt impatient, Concubine Rou hurriedly pulled the mandarin duck back: "What nonsense are you talking about, will you be a little palace maid who knows the birthday of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother?" ”

The mandarin duck was speechless for a while, and looked at the concubine Rou in front of her with tears streaming down her face: "Niangniang..."

Seeing this, the queen turned her head and pleaded: "Your Majesty.."

"Enough, if anyone dares to intercede again! I'll send it out of the cold palace! ”

The queen had no choice but to be silent, looking at the touching scene in front of her, a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes, Concubine Rou has been careful for many years, and she is happy to accompany her to act in one play after another, just to hit one day.

Now Concubine Rou has made Emperor Beiyan feel cold, and she has been demoted to the cold palace, plus Zhao Zichuan also died in Huangquan, and the Zhao Mansion has been hit one after another, and it will only be vulnerable.

The queen swept around, and many concubines came, and it could even be said that most of them had arrived, but she didn't see the concubines, frowned slightly, and had a premonition of uneasiness in her heart. The concubine was carefully trained by her father and sent to the palace, although she was not as good as the concubine, but it was far easier to use than Concubine Shun, who returned to her and took refuge in her.

I don't want to show up today, but I want my maid Qiushui to help, is something wrong?

Several guards stepped forward to escort Concubine Rou, and lifted Concubine Rou from the ground, Concubine Rou said softly: "I'll go by myself, from the moment I entered the palace, the first thing I recognized was the road to the cold palace." ”

"Miss.." The mandarin duck cried with tears and supported Concubine Rou.

Chu Luoyi also followed, holding Concubine Rou's other arm, Concubine Rou glanced at Chu Luoyi and did not wave her away.

Out of Shuihua Palace, Chu Luoyi whispered something in Concubine Rou's ear, Concubine Rou looked at the woman in front of her in shock, and then turned into a streamer and continued to move forward.

Chu Luoyi did not continue to go, standing in front of the gate of Shuihua Palace, but saw from a distance that the concubine was brought over by several guards, and a deep meaning flashed in her eyes.

The guards brought the concubine to Emperor Beiyan, the concubine's face was pale and frightened, Emperor Beiyan looked at the woman he was most favored during this time, and his face was even more unsightly for a while.

"Your Majesty, this was found from the Xiang Concubine Niangniang's Palace." The guards handed a stack of paper to Emperor Beiyan.

Emperor Beiyan looked at the paper in his hand, the anger in his eyes became more and more angry, and his chaotic eyes were covered by the thick firelight.

The queen looked at the emperor's hand, her face changed slightly, and she frowned slightly when she looked at the frightened concubine who was kneeling on the ground.

This concubine's courage is really getting bigger and bigger, and she dares to hide these things from herself.

The thing in the hands of Emperor Beiyan was not sideways, it was a stack of vouchers for the issuance of Yinzi money by the concubines.

Generally, those who have money give interest to those who lack money, when they lend the original, that is, deduct the principal and interest, and then ask for the principal and interest that should be repaid every day, and take it out when it expires, because each return must be stamped on the fold, so people call it "printing money".

As the saying goes: Yinzi money, one pays three; Profit rolls profits, turning over year after year; Borrow for one year, repay for ten years; It's not over for a few lifetimes!

At this moment, the stack of paper in the hands of Emperor Beiyan is a record used to stamp the imprint, because of the large number of people, if all the folds are too large to hide, so Chu Luoyi chose to use paper instead.

"Concubine, good! Good! All right! You are really getting bolder and bolder, this is going to be the opposite! Dare to distribute Yinzi money in the palace! Emperor Beiyan trembled with anger, and threw a stack of papers on the face of the concubine.

It is said that in history, the first distribution of seal money was a good deed, and some good people for the purpose of helping the poor people, and then distributed silver money, often in the end it is difficult to recover even the principal and interest.

It's just that with the deduction of time, the distribution of Indian money gradually became a means of collecting money, and it became more and more intense, until the Hongjing period, the practice of issuing Indian money formed a kind of atmosphere, and the people who released money were mostly powerful families, and they were delegated layer by layer, and finally it was the poor people living at the bottom who were squeezed.

After a long time, the people could not bear it, and they rose up, rioted everywhere, and finally the Duoqi Dynasty collapsed, becoming the first dynasty in history to be destroyed because of the distribution of seal money.

It is precisely because of this that the monarchs of successive dynasties explicitly forbade this, treating it as a flood beast, although this kind of atmosphere still exists among the people, but once discovered, it will not be spared.

The printing paper in the sky is flying, sprinkled and falling, and it can be clearly seen that each piece of paper has the name of the palace person who borrowed the money and the number and date of repayment, and it is stamped with a seal of the concubine.

Concubine Xiang looked at the papers scattered in front of her, and panicked in her heart, she did give out the seal money, but she never dared to give out so much, she came out of the Guozhang Mansion, and the Guozhang Mansion could be said to have worked hard for her.

But the Abbot's Mansion is not generous to her, except for the monthly silver in the palace, she can't get a little money from the Abbot's Mansion, but in the palace, everything has to use money, without money, many things don't work at all, even the minions know how to praise the high and the low.

Therefore, she dragged her cronies to take out some of the jewelry rewarded by Emperor Beiyan and sell them in the palace, exchanged them for silver as capital, and carefully put some seal money, so that she had some savings.

However, let's not talk about whether she has so much capital, even if she does, she doesn't dare to do it with such fanfare!

"Your Majesty... The concubine was wronged.. The concubines really didn't.." Concubine Xiang cried and begged for mercy.

The queen took a deep look at the concubine, she didn't expect her to dare to save such a mind, and dare to put so much money behind her back, it seems that her wings have really hardened in the past few years, and she is not taken seriously!

Emperor Beiyan was not light, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and the queen hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has mismanaged the harem, and this kind of thing has happened, which makes Your Majesty tired, it is really in vain to be the queen, and the crime deserves death, please ask Your Majesty to remove the concubine from the power of the six palaces, and the concubine is willing to go to the Buddha Hall to repent." ”

Chu Luoyi looked at the queen who was kneeling in front of Emperor Beiyan in a golden phoenix robe, her heart moved slightly, the queen is really not a simple character, if it weren't for the recent events one after another, she was afraid that Concubine Rou would be better, but at the moment, the queen seemed to be far more unpredictable than she imagined.

Now that there is a forbidden witchcraft in the harem, and it is found that the seal money is being distributed, the queen is to blame.

"Hmph, how did you manage this harem, it turned out to be like this smoky miasma, I think you should also go to the Buddha Hall to repent!" Emperor Beiyan looked at the queen on the ground and said angrily.

The queen lowered her head, slowly raised her hand to take off the phoenix crown on her head, the green silk slipped off, and her hands were offered: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she has been entrusted by His Majesty, and the concubine is willing to go to the Buddhist hall to repent, but the harem is complicated, and I hope that Your Majesty will choose another virtuous person, so that the concubine can go with peace of mind." ”

The many concubines behind Emperor Beiyan stared at the phoenix crown raised by the queen, their eyes flashing with a dim and unknown light, as if they were all thinking about whether Emperor Beiyan would really take the power of the queen to control the six palaces, and whose hands would this power fall on.

Seeing that Emperor Beiyan was reluctant to speak, the queen got up and walked to Concubine Shun and presented the phoenix crown with both hands: "Sister Concubine Shun, you have been doing your best to serve Your Majesty all these years, gentle and virtuous, and now this palace has gone to the Buddhist hall to think about it, if there is no one to manage the harem for Your Majesty, this palace is really uneasy, so please ask you to take charge of the harem instead of this palace." ”
