Rong Changan's being so "low" today is just to defeat another lowly person. After defeating her, Rong Changan will kowtow ten times in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, begging the Bodhisattva for forgiveness.
Yan Li's cold eyes gradually turned scarlet: "Is there such a thing?"
Rong Changan pointed to Eunuch Lu: "Fortunately, I was lucky, I just tore my clothes, otherwise, I would have died long ago. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask Eunuch Lu. Eunuch Lu was also there at the time."
Yan Li: "Eunuch Lu, is that really the case?"
Eunuch Lu thought for a while, then he had no choice but to say: "At that time, the two had a quarrel, and Concubine Ziyan probably couldn't get angry, so..."
Rong Changan cried: "What do you mean being angry? I told her that I don't want to entangle her and want to go back to rest, and I have to serve the emperor the next day. She became even more angry and scolded me because I got the emperor's favor." Beloved, everyone is afraid of me, but she is not afraid of me. One day, she will throw me into the bottom of the well, so that the emperor can't find me, and I will die of lovesickness."
With a whoosh, a shadow quickly turned out of Lenggongyong Alley, and even the inner guard next to him couldn't keep up with Yan Li's pace.
Eunuch Lu stepped on Rong Changan's heel, and said with a bitter face: "Xue'er, didn't you promise me last night not to tell the emperor? Why are you so untrustworthy?"
Rong Changan pointed to Zixuan and Chuntao who were swinging in the cold palace: "When I saw them, I couldn't be more angry. If I didn't teach Concubine Ziyan a lesson, Ziyan would still deduct their food and charcoal. Don't warn Ziyan , I can't get mad."
"You... oh, you killed me!"
Eunuch Lu shook his head and sighed, he didn't care about talking to Rong Changan anymore, he weighed his feet and quickly followed Yan Li.
Before arriving at the Pepper Palace, I met Zi Yan in the square of the harem, and at the moment she is making a snowman!
"Are you happy?" Yan Li suddenly stood beside the snowman, catching Zi Yan a little off guard.
Zi Yan was wearing a black cloak, the hem of the cloak was dragged on the snow, a little wet.
"Your Majesty, do you also like to make snowmen?"
Looking up and looking around, it was Eunuch Lu and Rong Changan, and she felt something was wrong in her heart. Especially the triumphant smile on the corner of Rong Changan's mouth made her even more uneasy.
Yan Li didn't answer Zi Yan's words: "You are very excited, playing in the ice and snow, you don't feel cold at all."
Zi Yan chewed Yan Li's words for a while: "Come out to relax, walk around, isn't it good, although it is cold, but the heart is warm."
Zi Yanliu frowned: Did Xueer tell Yan Li what happened last night? She looked like she came to Xingshi to question her.
Yan Li's gaze became colder and sharper, which made Zi Yan feel uncomfortable, as if fleas were crawling on her body.
"You are warm in your heart, but some people are not only cold on the body, but also cold in the heart. Do you want to know who it is?"
Zi Yan was still holding a ball of snow in her hand, because holding it for too long, the snow began to melt slowly.
"Who is it?" Zi Yan smiled with a bitter smile, "In our palace, is there anyone who can't survive the cold?"
Rong Changan took a step forward and picked up the pointed and long nose made of white radish from the snowman.
"I heard that liars have long and pointed noses, is that true?"
Faced with Rong Changan's abrupt words, Zi Yan didn't know how to respond.
"Xue'er, are you talking nonsense in front of the emperor?"
Rong Changan: "Let me ask you, didn't you withhold the charcoal fire of Concubine Zixuan?"
Ziyan came to her senses, and quickly explained to Yan Li: "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me. If Xueer hadn't told me, I would not have known about Concubine Zixuan's embezzlement!"
Rong Changan stuck a white radish in Xue'er's nose again, and smiled mockingly: "People with long and pointed noses are really good at lying."
Zi Yan: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Xue Er's nonsense, there is no such thing..."
Yan Li said coldly: "Either you explain why you withheld Zixuan's charcoal fire, or I order the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cut off your charcoal fire for a month, so that you can also experience the feeling of sleeping on an ice bed."
In this winter, there is no charcoal fire to burn the kang, how can we survive
The moment Yan Li turned around, Zi Yan grabbed his yellow robe.
"Your Majesty, yes... I withheld Zixuan's charcoal fire, but I was also doing it for the good of our palace."
Yan Li: "Tell me, why are you doing it for the good of the palace?"
Ziyan racked her brains, scratched her stomach, and her eyes rolled quickly: "Anyway, Zixuan is already crazy. She doesn't know what is cold, what is warm, what is hungry and full. Chuntao is Rong Changan's minion. Being punished in the cold palace, she should suffer a little bit. If she served delicious food and drink every day, how could she reflect on her mistakes? So I sent their charcoal fire to other palaces to let them get better So much warmth. Isn't that nice?"
Pooh!
Rong Changan laughed at the side.
Zi Yan looked at Rong Changan with angry eyes: "What are you laughing at?"
Rong Changan picked up a cotton cap on Xue'er's head and looked at it. The stitches and threads on it were really tight and good. If it was sold outside, it would cost five taels of silver. Such a good hat, Ziyan actually put it on for a snowman! There is also a cotton jacket wrapped around the snowman, which is also made of high-quality fabrics, warm and comfortable.
"I think, you used all the charcoal fire you embezzled to warm this snowman, right? And this padded jacket and cotton hat were all embezzled from Concubine Zixuan, right? Concubine Ziyan, you are truly a bodhisattva." He is more compassionate than that Bodhisattva who cut up meat and fed it to eagles."
Zi Yan snorted: "What are you talking about! How could I use charcoal fire to warm the snowman? I gave it to other court ladies..."
She still wanted to quibble, but Yan Li's expression made her tongue knotted, and she couldn't help shivering.
"Have I ever said that I want you to distribute the charcoal fire to other maids in the palace? Eunuch Lu!"
Eunuch Lu's aging body trembled slightly: "Your Majesty..."
Yan Li: "Did you say that?"
In this cold day, Eunuch Lu not only didn't feel cold, but also felt his back was sweating: "This old slave never said such a thing."
Yan Li: "Zi Yan, why are you staying in your Pepper Palace, why are you going to the Leng Palace? You think the Leng Palace is fun, don't you? Do you want me to send you to the Leng Palace too, so that you can enjoy yourself?"
When Yan Li spat out the word Leng Gong, Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat: "I... I didn't say that."
Yan Li: "That's the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what are you getting involved in? You are very energetic, aren't you? Then I will give you a chance to vent! Starting tomorrow, you and the other maids in the palace will clean up together. Harem."
Zi Yan was terrified: "Don't, Your Majesty! I know I'm wrong, please don't do this, okay? If other people in the palace know that I went to sweep the floor, won't they laugh at me!"
Yan Li: "Are you still afraid of being laughed at by others? Don't you have a thick skin? You don't even have the sense of shame to bully a mentally disturbed person. Why do you feel that you will be laughed at when you go to sweep the floor? That's the decision! If I don't see you sweeping the floor in the square tomorrow, you will be punished!"
Zi Yan wanted to argue, but Yan Li had already turned around and strode away.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I won't dare in the future!"
Rong Changan walked past her, holding the snowman's hat in his hand: "The emperor's words just hit the nail on the head! Why do you have to be ashamed to bully a mentally disturbed person like you? But I think the emperor's punishment is not bad. It’s easier, if I punish you to carry dung, anyway, you and the things in the dung pit have the same smell.”
Zi Yan suddenly grabbed Rong Changan's arm: "Xue'er, I have tolerated you again and again, don't think that I am timid, I am fully capable of sinking you into the well, do you know?"
