Within a few days, Chuntao found a man named Xu Feng, pointed at him and said to Rong Changan: "Madam, this is my distant relative. He is very honest and kind, and his mouth is the strictest. The key is that he is in the raw medicine shop." Working here, knowing a lot of medicine, it is most appropriate to serve by the empress's side!"
Rong Changan looked at Xu Feng for a while, and tried a few words from him, knowing that Xu Feng's personality was almost the same as what Chuntao said, so he said happily:
"Alright then! You will be by my side in the future, and I will come to you for any physical problems. If you serve me well, I will naturally reward you greatly! You go, Chuntao will arrange a place for you."
Xu Feng only replied: "Well, yes!"
To be honest, Rong Changan couldn't help putting his finger on his nose and laughing when he saw it. Suddenly remembered something, and called them back again.
"etc!"
Chuntao turned her head and asked, "Is there anything else you can order?"
Rong Changan said with a serious expression: "Xu Feng, you are a very nice person, but there is no guarantee that you will be with bad people, and your temper will not change! There is an eunuch named Xiao Dezi next to me, who is proficient in gambling and drinking, you don't want to imitate it!" He, do you know? Save your money and take it home during the Chinese New Year to honor your mother and father!"
Rong Changan knew from his previous life that Xiao Dezi was unreliable and betrayed him, so he didn't want Xu Feng to get close to him, so as not to tell all her secrets.
Zi Yan was naturally worried about Rong Chang'an, and sent someone to monitor her every move in Fengming Palace. On this day, Zi Yan called the maidservant who was watching into the palace for questioning.
"Has there been any movement in Rong Chang'an recently?"
The maid truthfully explained: "The empress has recently invited an imperial physician to serve her by her side."
"Oh?" Zi Yan was very interested, "Which imperial physician is it?"
The maid said: "It's not the imperial physician in the palace, it's from outside. It is said that the empress has been ill since she fell into the water, and often suffers from back pains, so she wants an imperial physician to stay by her side."
"Is there no imperial physician in the palace? Why go out to look for it? Is there something tricky here?"
Although Ziyan knew that Rong Changan must have a purpose in everything she did, but Ziyan couldn't figure out why she left the palace to choose an imperial physician. Perhaps, she wanted to attract the emperor's attention through this incident, making the emperor think that it was because she fell into the water that these symptoms were caused. And the person who pushed her into the water was Zi Yan herself!
"Could it be that she wants the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter by inviting the imperial physician?"
Thinking about it, Zi Yan asked the maidservant: "Apart from this, is there anything else going on with Rong Chang'an?"
The maid said: "The Queen went to the Punishment Department and asked for Mr. Si Xing."
"Oh?" Zi Yan'e frowned, and asked in doubt, "What is she looking for from the Punishment Department?"
The maid said: "I heard that the empress asked Mr. Si Xing to thoroughly investigate the matter of her falling into the water."
Zi Yan's eyes suddenly widened: She really did not expect it wrong, Rong Chang'an would not let it go so easily, and he dared to invite the private imperial physician for the sake of falling into the water!
"Apart from that, does she have anything else to do?" Zi Yan asked again.
The maid shook her head: "Other than that, there is nothing else."
Zi Yan walked a few steps back and forth. It's better to strike first, and then suffer disaster, so it's better to take the bottom line and deal with the people from the Punishment Department. Let's see how Rong Changan will investigate!
Thinking of this, Zi Yan's pink face flashed a proud look.
"You pass on my order to ask Mr. Si Xing of the Punishment Department to come over. I have something to tell her."
"Okay!" The servant girl agreed and left.
Not long after, the chief executive of the Punishment Division was found, and he knelt under Zi Yan with his maid.
"I don't know if the imperial concubine summoned me, what's the matter?" the female officer in charge of punishment asked.
Zi Yan was grinning, and went to help the criminal officer and let her sit beside him.
"Don't be so polite. Although I am the noble concubine of the country, I don't have that kind of arrogance. I asked my lord to come here to tell you something."
"What's the matter? It's okay for the concubine to say." The female officer asked.
Zi Yan screened the maid, leaving only her and the maid in the room. Zi Yan opened a small scarlet box, took out two heavy pieces of horseshoe gold from it, and handed it to the female officer.
The female officer was terrified, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare not accept this great gift!"
Ziyan supported the female officer with one hand, and said with a smile: "You take it, I have something to tell you."
If you don't get paid for nothing, if you take things from Concubine Ziyan, you will have to obey her orders. Who knows what evil concubine is thinking in her stomach! In the palace, things like lynching, poisoning the prince, and isolating the beloved concubine abound. Who knows what the noble concubine Ziyan wants to do!
"The imperial concubine, I really don't dare to accept it, I hope the imperial concubine will take it back!" The female official kowtowed like garlic.
Zi Yan suddenly changed his face, and said in a gloomy and threatening tone: "You can take orders from Rong Chang'an, a bitch, can't I ask you to do something?"
The female officer swallowed her saliva, and replied: "The queen entrusted me with official business, and there is no private goods involved!" When she said that, her forehead was already covered with sweat.
Zi Yan snorted coldly: "Who knows what shady affair you have with Rong Chang'an, believe it or not, I will sue the emperor and punish you?"
His tone was so harsh, and his eyes so fierce, that the female officer who was kneeling on the ground was so frightened that she trembled all over.
"Weichen and the queen have nothing shameful!"
The corner of Ziyan's mouth curled up into a sinister smile: "I don't know, it depends on how the emperor decides!"
The female officer panicked, hugged Ziyan's thigh quickly, and cried: "Imperial Concubine, please don't tell the emperor about this! Please!"
If Ziyan wanted to harm the female official, as long as she said a few words at the emperor's bedside, the female official might be decapitated; It won't change the taste. Therefore, she had to beg Zi Yan.
After the female officer cried for a while, Zi Yan smiled and said: "You don't want me to sue, but you have to promise me one thing. This thing is very simple, it couldn't be easier."
"What does the imperial concubine want me to do?" the female officer asked in a trembling voice.
Zi Yan said in a low voice: "Didn't Rong Chang'an ask you to investigate how she fell into the water? You pretended to be serious about investigating on the surface, but when you reported to her, you said you couldn't find anything. In this way, she I can't blame it on your head."
The female officer thought for a while, struck a balance between the empress and the imperial concubine, and agreed: "Okay, empress imperial concubine, I will do as you say! The empress is a big deal, just blame me for dereliction of duty!"
At most, the charge of dereliction of duty would be dismissed, but if Ziyan reported it to the emperor, the female officer would not be able to eat and walk away. She still knows which is more serious.
"You are very smart, and you will be very successful in the palace in the future!" Zi Yan stuffed the two gold horseshoes into her hands, and smiled triumphantly, "Take it, this is the reward you deserve, remember, Don't tell anyone!"
Unless the female officer is stupid, killing her will not reveal the matter at all.
After dismissing the female officer and leaving, Zi Yan came to the emperor's bedroom again, and blew soft wind in his ear. To say it was her fault for not taking good care of the queen, causing her to fall into the water, damn it! As he said that, he stretched out his hand hypocritically, intending to slap himself. Li Hai grabbed her jade wrist and said:
"That matter is in the past, why talk about it again!"
Zi Yan said unhappily: "You don't talk about it, I don't talk about it, but the queen does. She always suspects that I pushed her behind her back. Now they are checking me everywhere, which makes me ashamed to walk around in the palace! "
As she spoke, she acted like a baby and cried, so pitiful and lovable.
When Li Hai saw it, he couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't cry too. I'll tell the queen later, and let her not investigate this matter, and stop here!"
The emperor also didn't want the women around him to make noises, so he had to be calm when he struck a balance between the two of them. So he found a time to call Ziyan and Rong Changan to the imperial garden, held a banquet, and asked the two to reconcile.
Due to Li Hai's face, the Punishment Department couldn't find any clues for a long time, so Rong Chang'an followed suit and agreed to put this matter aside.
