The news of Wu Liangfu's detention quickly spread throughout the Forbidden City, and in the inner palace, those who had been oppressed and excluded celebrated with each other, and those who colluded with Wu Liangfu were all trembling for fear of being implicated.

Many officials were arrested in the capital, and Suke Saha was even more unusual, not following the emperor's wishes, and taking the initiative to petition to arrest people in other places, which made people panic.

Fu Lin originally thought that it was just to investigate the corruption and laziness of the internal supervisor, but who knew that the "net" was broken, and everything poured in all of a sudden.

The excerpts of the impeachment of the officials and the people related to the Thirteen Yamen flew overwhelmingly, and the Jingyunmen duty room became a mess, and Fulin had to send several ministers on duty day and night to separate the major state events from the excerpts of this incident, and pick the important ones to send inside.

Fulin stayed up in the Qianqing Palace, that is, he did not enter the inner palace for two days, and now Wu Liangfu has been arrested, and even the emperor's living has not been properly arranged, which shows how tightly Wu Liangfu guards on weekdays.

The little eunuchs all said that they didn't know what kind of tea the emperor liked to drink, what kind of spring water he used to brew, how hot it was, and how strong it was. Manager Wu was afraid that the people below would know about these things, so that they would curry favor with the emperor, compared to the concubines in the harem, the means of favoring and fixing favors were really not ordinary.

These rumors came into the palace in bits and pieces, and Jia Yin herself only came out of the pain of losing her son a few points, and suddenly the previous dynasty was not peaceful, and her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

The emperor did not come to Chengqian Palace for two days, guarding the empty palace pavilion, and Jia Yin was faintly uneasy in his heart.

She cares about Fulin now, but after learning to deal with one thing, something new will pop up, and every time she is helpless.

On the side of Jingren Palace, he was also worried about the emperor's body, but Yuan Xi couldn't go past Jiayin to care about the emperor, but when he heard Vanilla say that there was no movement in Chengqian Palace, he had to sigh: "Sister, she must be panicking again." ”

On this day, Vanilla ran to Chengqian Palace to find Tian Xiang, the two girls stood under the eaves and said for a long time, in the afternoon, Tian Xiang came with stewed ginseng soup, and said to Jiayin: "Miss, the emperor is resting in the Qianqing Palace at this time, you can send some ginseng soup." ”

Jia Yin asked: "Is it appropriate, originally the ministers were very disgusted with my appearance in the Qianqing Palace, and now the emperor and them are in a stalemate, if I go, ......?"

"Walk past from the back of the Jiaotai Palace, and the people in front can't see it." Tian Xiang said, "The slaves and maids have inquired for you, you are worried about the emperor here, and you are also restless, if you go, the emperor will be happy." ”

After Jia Yin hesitated slightly, changed his clothes, applied a little powder, and took Tianxiang to enter from the side gate of Kunning Palace, bypassed the Jiaotai Palace, and entered the warm pavilion from the back door of Qianqing Palace.

Fu Lin was leaning on the kang, one hand against his forehead, as if he had a terrible headache, and suddenly felt a cold hand touching his forehead, opened his eyes, and saw Jia Yin's face.

"Why are you here?" Fu Lin took Jia Yin's hand and covered it in his palm, "It's cold today." ”

"I heard that the emperor has not thought about tea and dinner these days." Jia Yin said, "The concubine came to bring you some ginseng soup, can you drink two sips?" ”

Fu Lin bowed his head and sat up tiredly, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, he couldn't swallow anything, and he felt that his chest hurt as if he was cracking after drinking two sips of ginseng soup, and he didn't want to live up to Jia Yin's intentions, so he said: "It's a little hot, let it cool and drink it again." ”

"Your Majesty, what's going on in this matter?" Jia Yin asked.

"There are many officials involved, from the local yamen to the cabinet scholars, hey......" Fu Lin sighed, his eyes were bloodshot, "Wu Liangfu's bastard thing, he follows me all day long, is he missing a bite to eat or a piece to wear, what does he want so much silver for?" ”

Jia Yin said: "I'm afraid it's not just gold and silver, your Majesty, you think, so many people are counting on it, how satisfied should Wu Liangfu be?" He is a person left by the former Ming Dynasty, he was abandoned and cut off when he was a child and sent to the palace, but the palace was in chaos, and Li Zicheng burned the palace, and in the end, he died because of you, and whoever he was changed would get carried away. ”

"When I came to Beijing from Shengjing, I was only half a head taller than this table, and I had to live alone in the Qianqing Palace. A lot of things have happened before and after, whether it's Dolgon or Eniang, they don't know how many minions I've changed, and I'm very upset every day. When I woke up in the middle of the night, sometimes I heard the eunuchs and palace maids doing unscrupulous things, and sometimes I heard them talk about the affair between Eniang and Dorgon. ”

Fu Lin looked sad, bitter and desolate: "Until Wu Liangfu appeared, he has never left my side, he laughed with me when he was happy, and he shed tears with me when he was sad, Dolgon and Eniang had tortured him, but he gritted his teeth and did not betray me." For your sake, he is also thoughtful everywhere, even if it is the relationship between me and Eniang, he has never sowed discord. ”

"Wu Liangfu is indeed loyal to the emperor." Jia Yin said, "But the emperor, the iron plate you set up in the Thirteen Yamen was originally set up for him to see." If Wu Liangfu was an honest and honest person, as the first chief internal supervisor of the Qing Dynasty, he would almost be recorded in history, but he practiced himself all his life. ”

"You mean to abandon him?" Fu Lin looked at Jia Yin, and said reluctantly, "If you follow the law of the iron card, Wu Liangfu will definitely die." ”

"Yes......"

"Jia Yin, do you know, not everyone hands me something, I dare to stuff it in my mouth." Fu Lin said, "But Wu Liangfu, he will pay for everything I want to eat first." ”

Jia Yin saw that the corners of Fulin's eyes were moist, and Fang Cai's calm and rational mind were reduced a little, and he could only appease the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wu Liangfu should die and live, killing a Wu Liangfu right now is not enough to change everything, the emperor should start from the root first, and clear the road of officialdom appointment, so that people of insight can be used by the court, so that the emperor will not be deceived by villains." ”

"I see." Fu Lin let out a long sigh, hugged Jia Yin, and pressed his chin against her forehead, "They are still arresting people, still investigating, making people panic, it's time to have a head." ”

Jia Yin said softly: "In the future, the concubines are willing to share one or two of the affairs of the inner palace, and the concubines will do their best." ”

Fu Lin was pleased: "If you are in good health, I will let you replace the queen with the phoenix seal and take charge of the affairs of the six palaces." ”

"Feng Yin said it was too heavy." Jia Yin said, "The concubine only wishes to be able to share your worries." ”

Fu Lin finally showed a little smile: "Jiayin, I can't imagine that I can really be in your heart." ”

Jia Yin lowered her head guiltily: "It's that the concubine is not good, too confused." ”

Accompanied by beautiful women, gentle and soft-spoken, Fu Lin felt a lot more comfortable, determined to cheer up, and face this reform boldly, Wu Liangfu did do wrong, Fu Lin was indeed offered to the dragon chair like a fool, from now on, no more.

Soon a minister asked to see her, and Jia Yin didn't want to trouble the emperor, so she withdrew through the back door, bypassing the Jiaotai Palace, but saw that Yuan Xi was already waiting for her.

Jia Yin was sure in her heart, and stepped forward and said: "The emperor is already better, if you didn't let Vanilla come to me, I really wouldn't dare to go." ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "It's my sister who keeps a sense of proportion, if the minister knows that the emperor and the concubine are in the warm pavilion, it will really be messy, my sister did the right thing." ”

They all came out of the side gate of Kunning Palace, and just happened to see a group of people coming from the north, and several eunuchs and palace maids surrounded their step-wives attentively.

The step-wife was in a hurry, and she didn't even see Yuan Xi there, and when she saw her daughter, she said, "Niangniang, there is something important." ”

Suddenly saw Yuan Xi on the side, embarrassed, but fortunately, Yuan Xi was interested, and said with a smile: "It's such a cold day, Madame, go back to the palace with my sister, I also want to go back to Jingren Palace to get an embroidery pattern, the queen is still waiting for me." ”

"Concubine Tong Niangniang walks slowly." Mrs. Ji bowed, and then anxiously asked Jia Yin to hurry back to speak.

The two separated, each going its own way, but Yuan Xi stopped halfway and glanced back.

The eunuchs and palace maids who led the way were rewarded with broken silver, and went back happily, Yuan Xi recalled the look on the face of Mrs. Fang Caiji, and the somewhat sneaky heart, and remembered Eniang's words.

E-Niang said that the step-wife's maiden family and the Badu family are all in this business of buying and selling official positions.

When the group returned to Jingren Palace, Vanilla suddenly said to Yuan Xi: "Master, look." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Vanilla, I saw a little palace maid looking out under the door at the other end of the palace road, and met Yuan Xi's eyes, and shrank back in fright.

Xiao Quanzi stepped forward and scolded: "What kind of person, sneaky, when you see Concubine Tong, you still don't come out to salute?" ”

The little palace maid was so scared that she couldn't do it, she was a raw face, she had hardly seen it on weekdays, she trembled and ran to Yuan Xi to kowtow, claiming to be the palace maid sweeping the floor of Yikun Palace.

Yuan Xi and Vanilla glanced at each other, and Vanilla asked, "You don't go to Yikun Palace on an errand, what are you doing here?" ”

The palace maid was timid, she really didn't understand why Ning Concubine sent such a person to make people's intestines itch, she said like a mosquito: "Ning Concubine Niangniang said, I want to go to the elder brother tomorrow to visit the second elder brother, Barya Fujin is not in the palace, the fifth princess must also be worried about Eniang, the fifth princess and Tong Concubine Niangniang are the closest to you, so I want to invite you to go together." ”

"Don't look for anyone who speaks well." Yuan Xi shook his head, "You go back and tell Sister Ning Concubine, I know, tomorrow I will bring the sesame candy that the fifth princess loves to eat." ”

"Yes, yes......"

"Xiaoquanzi, go see her off, just follow her from a distance, and you will come back when she enters the door of Yikun Palace." After Yuan Xi gave this order, he turned around and went back.

Vanilla followed the door and asked, "Master, have you decided to see Concubine Ning?" ”

Yuan Xi smiled helplessly: "Think about it, listen to what she says first, and if you don't see it again, I'm afraid I'm going to kill people in a hurry." ”

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Ning was relieved to learn that Yuan Xi had accepted her invitation, her body was paralyzed and sat on the kang head, her chest rose and fell, she raised her hand to cover her heart, and when she saw the rings on her hand, she pulled them off one by one impetuously.

This time, although she was still tossing in the previous dynasty, she always felt that this fire was about to burn to the harem.
