The sound of slapping the table made the palace people in the entire hall tremble, and the silence in the silent hall made people feel suffocated.

At this moment, a palace maid wearing a pale pink cardigan skirt slowly walked out of the queue with a pale face, and finally she walked to the front of the open seat and knelt down, she shed tears but bit her lip tightly without saying a word.

Bai Yuzhu couldn't help but look at the palace maid wearing a light pink palace dress, she suddenly felt that she really didn't know much about the palace as the queen mother said, at least she hadn't even figured out what kind of clothes these palace maids were wearing and what color represented the rank of the palace maid......

Zi'er looked at her young lady without a trace at the moment, and when she saw that the young lady's face was in a trance, a puzzle crossed her eyes.

When the first palace maid came out and knelt on the main hall, many people were shocked, and then they quietly looked at each other, biting their lower lip and struggling for a moment, they walked out one after another, and then knelt on the ground.

No one said a word, not even a word begging for mercy, nearly half of the hundreds of palace people in the entire East Palace knelt down, and the remaining dozens of people Bai Yuzhu looked at it, but they were all miscellaneous servants wearing indigo palace clothes.

"Go and invite the head of Fengzao Palace." After a moment, she said in a flat tone.

Zi'er was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

When the head of Fengzao Palace heard that the princess's personal palace maid asked her to go to the East Palace, even she was stunned, but she asked Zi'er but she didn't ask anything.

When she came to the East Palace with Zi'er, in addition to the heavily guarded East Palace, even the palace door was locked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without a token, such a sense of seriousness She seemed to be able to smell the sharp breath in the air, full of disgusted blood.

When she walked to the door of the main hall, she saw the kneeling palace people standing on the huge main hall, and she immediately understood that this was the crown princess who was thoroughly investigating the palace maids of the East Palace, however, what did it have to do with her?

"Slaves and maids see the crown princess Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose." The head of Fengzao Palace secretly took a deep breath and walked to the palace people and saluted the crown princess.

In fact, Bai Yuzhu didn't like to wait for people, because it was a long and boring thing, but when she saw the arrival of the head of Fengzao Palace, the impatience in her heart slowly dissipated.

"Excuse me." She raised her voice.

After the head got up, she first asked, "I don't know why the princess summoned the slaves and maids?" ”

Bai Yuzhu looked at the person in charge, and she said: "Since this palace has become the crown princess, she has never fulfilled the duties of the crown princess. And you, well, what's your name? ”

The head of the department said respectfully: "Back to the mother, the mother can call the slave and the maid." ”

"Ruoyan ......" Bai Yuzhu muttered in a low voice, and then smiled: "It's a nice name." ”

Ruoyan bowed his head respectfully.

"If you say that you are the dowry girl of the queen mother of this palace?" After a moment, Bai Yuzhu asked.

"Slaves are not." Ruoyan's eyes crossed a complicated line, and then said respectfully.

"Oh, tell me about you with Hongu." Bai Yuzhu said in a very casual tone.

If you say a word, you know what the princess really wants to hear, she said respectfully: "The slave maid was born in a small embroidery workshop in Huaidong, and was introduced to the palace as a maid at the age of six, and it was thirty-five years old this year......"

Bai Yuzhu quietly listened to Ruoyan talk about her life experience, and in the end, it was nothing more than how a palace maid worked hard to get to where she is today, in fact, all she wanted to listen to was what Ruoyan said, and it has been thirty-five years since she entered the palace.

How many thirty-five years are there in life? The palace is the darkest place, and a thirty-five year is the life of ordinary people, and these thirty-five years let them be cautious in their words and deeds, and witness any intrigues and tricks in the palace.

Once she's done asking all the prerequisites she needs to ask, let's get down to business.

"If you are the head of Fengzao Palace, the concubines will be polite when they see you, and it goes without saying that you have been in the palace for thirty-five years, so this palace specially called all the palace people in the entire East Palace, in fact, for one thing......" Bai Yuzhu glanced at the gold, silver and jade beads that the palace maid was still holding in front of her, and she said: "You bring these to Ruoyan and give her a look, Zi'er, and give her the booklet." ”

Zi'er received the order, the booklet, and the gold, silver and jade neatly placed in several large trays were all presented in front of Ruoyan, she looked deeply at her eyes, and then asked: "I don't know what the slave can do to help Niangniang." ”

"You can help with everything." Bai Yuzhu said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "First tell the characteristics of the people of the simplest acquaintance palace to this palace." ”

"The easiest way to distinguish the identity of the palace maid can be seen from the clothing, from the third rank above the light pink, below the third grade with indigo, and the eunuchs above the third grade with dark blue, below the third rank with gray......" Ruoyan listened to the princess ask and told everything.

Bai Yuzhu listened to Ruoyan, then looked at the palace people who were kneeling on the ground, and finally laughed with a sneer, just because these people kneeling were either light pink or dark blue, and there was no indigo and gray below the third grade.

Also, those above the third rank are with her, and those below the third rank are some miscellaneous servants, and they don't even have the opportunity to see her, so why not spread the news about what she does and says on weekdays.

"Because Niangniang, you have never asked about the palace people, so the head of the East Palace, the great eunuch, and the aunt in charge did not." Ruoyan fell silent after saying this.

The chief eunuch and the aunt in charge must be required to be selected from the palace people, and a girl like Zi'er is not qualified at all, and she can't control the entire East Palace, Bai Yuzhu's brows furrowed slightly.

"Now this palace gives you a chance to live, whoever accepted the bribe from that palace and that person, say it one by one......" After a while, she said loudly, and then looked at Ruoyan and said: "Hard work Ruoyan has come to write a booklet for this palace." ”

Ruoyan's face suddenly stiffened, with complexity in her eyes, she hesitated for a moment, and she said: "Niangniang, the slave maid is not the maid of the East Palace, and the slave maid has no time to interfere in the affairs of the East Palace." ”

"Nope! You're qualified to meddle. Bai Yuzhu immediately responded, and she said, "Just because you are the aunt in charge of Fengzao Palace." ”

"Niangniang......" Ruoyan's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at the princess sitting high in disbelief with a cold complexion.

"Zi'er, move the table to Ruoyan." Bai Yuzhu didn't pay attention to Ruoyan's shock, she said coldly.

"Yes." Zi'er said that, and personally carried a table to Ruoyan with a palace maid, on which were placed the four treasures of the study and a blank booklet.

"Let's take the palace maid who just stood up first." Bai Yuzhu looked at Ruoyan as she spoke, and then said word by word: "If you can't finish writing, you can't leave the East Palace." ”

Ruoyan's cheeks were pale, and she bit her lower lip to know very well that she was coerced by the crown princess, and it was a mistake for her to come to the East Palace from the beginning, and the smell of blood in the air was emanating from the crown princess, which made her disgusted but unable to escape.

The worst criminal law for a palace maid to make a mistake is to drive her out of the palace, however, she knows very well that this crown princess, who has dominated all the advantages in the imperial city, wants blood, otherwise she will not be forced to write a book, which will be widely implicated.

"Aunt Ruoyan, please don't let down the crown princess." Zi'er saw Ruoyan standing stiffly in place, and she kindly reminded her.

Bai Yuzhu picked up the flower tea on the side and took a sip, her brows frowned, it was really cold, just like her heart.

"The slave maid is the palace maid next to the crown princess, called Jin Lan......" At this time, the first one stood up and knelt on the ground, and the palace maid said to Ruoyan with red and swollen eyes.

After every palace maid and eunuch finished speaking, they didn't just stop there, because Bai Yuzhu also let them press their handprints on it, Ruoyan's hand holding the pen was trembling, and her face turned pale.

"Zi'er, now copy out three copies for the main palace." A few hours later, Bai Yuzhu took the booklet of the palace people who had been bribed and handed it to Zi'er.

Zi'er took it and copied it from the new.

The entire East Palace was under her control, Feng Yehan was drugged by herself and was already asleep unconscious, and she also specially sent Ning Hua to guard him to avoid some accidents, and she was waiting for the palace gate of the East Palace to be knocked open by the Praetorian Guards.

The whole day passed like this, the palace at the beginning of the lanterns exuded a grandeur that no one could desecrate, and Queen Zhen, who was dressed in a beautiful group of peonies in the Fengzao Palace, asked the palace maids beside her: "Why don't you see anything today?" ”

"Back to the queen mother, the palace maids around the crown princess of the East Palace came to ask Ruoyan to go to the East Palace, but I haven't seen the head of the palace for a day." The palace maid bowed her head and responded respectfully.

"The Crown Princess of the East Palace?" Queen Zhen was stunned when she heard these words, and then her eyes were full of fierce anger, you must know that it was thanks to Bai Yuzhu, she couldn't even see her own crown prince, so she could only stay in this Fengzao Palace all day!

"But what's the matter?" She immediately asked.

"The slave doesn't know." The palace maid heard the coldness in the queen's voice and said cautiously.

At this moment, a eunuch walked in from outside, he was the chief eunuch of Fengzao Palace, with panic on his face at this moment, he respectfully walked to Queen Zhen and saluted and raised his hands above his head and said: "This is what the slave just received, and it was sent by the crown princess of the East Palace." ”

Queen Zhen frowned, she took the booklet, then opened it, her eyes widened, and then she turned a few more pages, and with a "snap", she threw the booklet on the ground, her face was blue and she gritted her teeth and said: "Swing, go to the East Palace!" ”

"The queen is slow." When the chief eunuch heard this, he hurriedly stopped it, and then said with a cold sweat on his face: "The palace maid who sent the booklet also said that the princess and the princess have confessed, please don't be angry, this is just a rebook, the real booklet is in the hands of the princess, the princess hopes that the mother will rest at ease for a night, and take everyone on the booklet to the East Palace to drink tea tomorrow morning, in addition, if you say that you will stay in the East Palace." ”

"Bastard! She dared to threaten Hongu. Empress Zhen instantly roared angrily.
