Jiang Fengjiao originally wanted to call the concubines in the palace to enjoy chrysanthemums and tea in the imperial garden today, and by the way, she also wanted to show off her prestige as a noble concubine, but she never expected that Xiao Chu would be so bold as to dare to be in the imperial garden, in the imperial garden. In public, so many servants were killed with sticks.
In the past, she knew that Xiao Chu acted arrogantly, but she didn't know that the other party had become so arrogant.
When he ordered the execution, he didn't let the mouths of those palace servants who made mistakes be blocked, so those mournful wailings filled the ears of these delicate concubines until the wailing became quieter and there was no more sound until.
The concubines who had been well-dressed to participate in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party hosted by Concubine Jiang were all pale and timid. If they were not supported by the maids beside them, they would have sat on the ground directly.
No one dared to take a second look at the man in the moon-white brocade robe, as if there was an evil spirit behind him, and if he took one more look, he would be dragged into the underworld by that evil spirit.
"Absurd, too absurd."
Wang Guiren's reaction was better than that of other concubines. Her teeth chattered and her body trembled slightly, but at least she didn't need anyone to help her, and she stood still.
At this time, her eyes were fixed on the two bound palace maids on the bench. After she appeared, those two palace maids kept staring at her with pleading and desolate eyes. I was almost out of breath, but only a burst of anger rushed into my heart.
Why, that's just a eunuch, who gave him the courage to execute the sentence in the imperial garden where concubines often haunt the harem? Could it be that His Majesty is really so confused that he allows this traitor to act recklessly
Especially after seeing the two palace servants dying slowly in front of her eyes, the fear in Wang Guiren's heart turned into grief and anger, clamoring for Xiao Chu to give an explanation.
"Eunuch Xiao dared to kill so many servants in the imperial garden, did he not take us concubines seriously, or did he not take His Majesty seriously? I don't believe that if His Majesty knew what you did, he would still do this. Pamper you."
Wang Guiren's biological mother is the daughter of the Li family. Speaking of which, she still has to call Li Jinzhong the second uncle. Xiao Chu framed Li Jinzhong and sent him to prison, which meant that the biggest arm of the Li family was broken, and Wang Guiren's mother was born in the Li family like this. His daughter is also implicated.
Although it wasn't long before Li Jinzhong was arrested, the crying letter from Wang Guisheng's mother, Li Shi, was sent to the palace early. In addition, the palace servants who served in the womb these days were more and more dissatisfied with her. The meals sent to her palace by Fang Fang were either late or cold.
Wang Guiren had had enough of this kind of life, and felt that Xiao Chu was the culprit of all this, so lard was deceived, and she found two hidden stakes that she had planted early, and wanted to poison Xiao Chu's daily diet, thinking that as long as When the other party died, her second uncle, her biggest backer, would be released.
But now seeing the two palace people who were killed by sticks, Wang Guiren knew that her plan had been exposed. Fortunately, those people's family members outside the palace were still in her hands. Forgive them, they would not dare to betray her, but even so, Wang Guiren was still flustered, and planned not to do anything, but to take advantage of the current time when the sisters were complaining to Xiao Chu, to unite together and remove Xiao Chudou from the stage.
That's just an eunuch, and now it's his fault. Could it be that His Majesty will really ignore the pleas of these concubines for that eunuch
That's right, she is not only alone now, but also Concubine Jiang, Concubine Min, and other nobles are often present. Among them, some are deeply loved by His Majesty, and some have prominent family backgrounds. She alone is not worth it. What, but with so many concubines added up, wouldn't His Majesty really be shaken
When Wang Guiren thought about it this way, the pressure in his heart became a little less.
She looked resolutely at Concubine Jiang and the others beside her, only to find that the concubines standing beside her were several feet away from her, and everyone avoided her sight, as if everything that had happened Nothing to do with them.
How is it possible, aren't they angry, Xiao Chu dared to execute in the imperial garden, and it was the faces of their concubines, they threw your face on the ground and stepped on it, how can you still talk to him with a smile
Wang Guiren thought it was ridiculous. Are these women with black corn eyes fighting for the emperor's favor in the harem
"Jiang Guifei." Wang Guiren was determined to win over the noble concubine who hosted the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet and was deeply loved by His Majesty.
"It's all my fault that the day is a bit big today, and I didn't choose a good time to hold a banquet. Dudu Xiao, I will take my sisters and leave now, so I won't disturb your elegant mood."
Jiang Fengjiao's voice is extremely charming, as expected of a woman who has climbed from the status of a court lady to such a high position now, she should not be underestimated, her face was full of fear just now, and now she is full of joy, when she spoke, she did not forget to secretly give Yan Chu gave two winks, delicate and sweet.
Yan Chu didn't react at all, but the two young eunuchs behind him saw it, their bodies became hot, and they still muttered in their hearts, Concubine Jiang is indeed the emperor's favorite woman, she is determined to seduce people, even the most eunuchs can do it Can't live.
It's a pity that seeing the expressions on their governor's faces, they were unmoved in the slightest.
Jiang Fengjiao didn't expect that Xiao Chu could be easily seduced by her, and they will have a bright future.
"Concubine Min."
Wang Guiren saw that it would not be possible to join forces with Concubine Jiang, and secretly scolded her for being born as a slave. Sure enough, she is cheap enough, but now, she can only find other helpers. There is absolutely no good life for her.
Now not only the former dynasty, but Xiao Chu’s stronghold in the harem are almost all his lackeys. The eunuchs and maids all want to please him and enjoy the overwhelming wealth. She offended Xiao Chu. Really alone.
"The third princess caught a cold yesterday, and I don't know what's going on now, sister noble concubine, forgive me for disturbing your mood, why don't we just leave here, so I can go to Shuyu Garden to see the third princess."
Concubine Min is the daughter of General Zhenxi. She received a letter from her family early on, telling her not to offend Dudu Xiao. Concubine Min was able to live in the harem until now because of her down-to-earth temperament. She will respect whoever your Majesty likes, and her parents will not harm her. They told her not to offend Dudu Xiao, so she will not offend him. Completed.
As for why, Concubine Min didn't think about it, anyway, her third princess had already made her concubine, she just had to wait for the three princesses to get married safely, and then be her Concubine Min with peace of mind. She didn't have a prince, and she lost her favor , why bother to mess with those right and wrong again.
It's a pity that there are still few sensible people like her in this harem.
"Sister Wang, I think you don't look well today, you should hurry back to the palace and ask for a doctor."
Concubine Min looked at the dazed Wang Guiren and kindly made a point. This was her last advice. Regardless of whether the other party listened or not, she had done her part anyway.
With Concubine Jiang and Concubine Min starting, the other concubines left this bloody place as if they were fleeing for their lives, leaving Wang Guiren alone.
"You... want to kill me..."
She fell down and sat on the ground. Her original courage had long since disappeared. There was a burst of cold sweat on her back. The cold wind of late autumn blew past, and it was even more piercingly cold. Mr. Wang shivered, not daring to raise her head.
But there are some things that she can't avoid without raising her head, just like the pair of moon-white shoes embroidered with dark silver patterns that appeared in front of her now.
Wang Guiren gritted her teeth, listened to her violent heartbeat, and slowly raised her head. When her eyes touched the delicate and charming face looking down at her, she rolled her eyes and passed out directly.

"I heard that you killed a dozen servants in the Royal Garden today?"
Emperor Chengqing slept on a cushion, with the Laogong acupoint of his left hand placed on his left temple, under his head, with his elbow bent, his right hand placed on his dantian, and his legs bent like a semicircle. It looked like an open hand bow.
This is the method of exhalation taught by Daoist Qingyun. It is said that as long as he keeps meditating in this posture, he can sense the secrets of heaven faster. Emperor Cheng Qing firmly believes in this.
"Those servants spoke falsely and criticized the way of longevity pursued by His Majesty. Moreover, those servants did not know who instructed them to poison the meals of the minister and Daoist Qingyun. In a fit of anger, the minister did not report to His Majesty and directly Kill them on the spot."
Yan Chu was kneeling in Emperor Chengqing's sleeping hall. From the moment he came in until now, Emperor Chengqing didn't cry out, so he could only keep kneeling.
"Hmph, those slaves deserve death."
Emperor Chengqing became angry when he heard it. Daoist Master Qingyun is a master of Taoism. Those cheap maids may not hurt Daoist Master, but if Daoist Master knows that someone in the palace is dissatisfied with him, why not sincerely teach him the way of ascension to heaven? Do, those people really deserve to die.
"Ah Chu is indeed my lucky star. You have done a good job in this matter. As for Mrs. Wang, let her go to the cold palace and stay there."
Yan Chu lowered his head. Sure enough, the old emperor still had some useful people.
"Yes."
He nodded in agreement, and it was almost time for Daoist Qingyun to give a routine sermon. Emperor Cheng Qing couldn't bear to deal with those trivial matters, so he waved his hand and let Yan Chu back out.
"It's only three to five months."
When Yan Chu left, the old Taoist in a Taoist robe, who looked like a fairy, happened to pass him by.
When the two saluted each other's foreheads, he moved his lips and whispered something to Yan Chu.
"Too slow, a month."
Yan Chu thought that the net on the other side was about to be closed, that stupid king had lived for so long that he was impatient.
The old Taoist glanced at him, nodded secretly, then straightened his back, and walked towards Emperor Chengqing's bedroom with a reserved and easy-going expression.
*****
All the concubines in the palace waited and watched the incident that happened in the Imperial Garden during the day. After waiting for the news that the nobleman Wang had been thrown into the cold palace, all the concubines who were present at the time but did not get involved breathed a sigh of relief.
While laughing at Mr. Wang's stupidity, they are also secretly vigilant. When dealing with the eunuch Xiao Chu in the future, they must be careful, careful, and more careful.
Wang Guiren's fate is a lesson for them.
Wan Qilan, who hadn't closed her eyes since returning to Yanyun Pavilion from Bibo Pavilion, had been waiting for the reaction from Qianqing Palace after learning what happened in the Imperial Garden during the day.
The other party is playing with fire now, if he is a little careless, he will lose everything, but he is so ostentatious, and he does not restrain himself at all. Wan Qilan thought, all the fears in her life are probably because of that person .
Obviously he said such unfeeling words last night, but Wan Qilan just couldn't let go of his attention. Sometimes she couldn't help wondering if she owed him in her previous life.
On the other hand, Jiang Fengjiao once again overcame the fear in her heart because of this oral order from Emperor Chengqing. With the feeling that she must win, she bathed and changed her clothes under the service of the palace servants, and put on her most beautiful clothes and jewelry. , put on the brightest makeup, and then used the Fifth Prince as an excuse to send a message to Xiao Chu so that he could go to her Fengqi Palace as soon as possible.
Jiang Fengjiao looked at the charming beauty in the diorama, and she couldn't believe that the eunuch Xiao Chu could resist her charm.
*****
"Eunuch Xiao, the empress is waiting for you inside."
Some insignificant palace people in Fengqi Palace were paid out by Jiang Fengjiao, and now those staying in the palace are all her confidantes, for example, the maid who is standing at the door waiting for Yan Chu knows Jiang Fengjiao's plan. well aware.
They are destined to be tied to the boat of Concubine Jiang and the Fifth Prince. Only when Jiang Fengjiao and the Fifth Prince live well can their lives be better. Therefore, facing what may happen later, apart from being a little nervous, Besides, these palace people didn't feel any guilt towards Emperor Cheng Qing in their hearts.
Xiao Chu is just an eunuch, besides being addicted to his heart, he can really do anything to the imperial concubine, so they didn't feel sorry for Emperor Cheng Qing.
The palace people comforted themselves in this way, and naturally became more calm on the face.
Wearing a thick cloak, Yan Chu coughed lightly, raised his hand and waved away the little eunuchs who wanted to follow him in, and then entered the room, which had already been scented with a hint of aphrodisiac incense, and was covered with light gauze. A room that looks mysterious and seductive.
