The Empress is Always Unambitious

Chapter 40: punishment

Views:

Shen Chuliu brushed his presence and quickly retreated.

She knows so much about sustainability. So the well-behaved little concubine sat quietly behind her.

But with her successful example, the concubines who followed naturally followed suit.

First, Li Baolin sent soup to Tai Chi Palace, and then Lu Xiaoyi sent embroidery.

Finally, when Chen Baolin sent the poem he wrote, Qi Yixiu became angry.

Just ask someone to throw it out.

Naturally, everyone in the harem laughed at her. Chen Baolin and Li Xiaoyi entered the palace on the same day, but they had different fates.

Everyone is Xiaoyi, but she is still Baolin, mainly because she has not slept with her a few times since entering the palace.

So when greeting her in the morning, people naturally laughed at her.

Chen Baolin also had a bad temper when he was in the boudoir, and he couldn't hold it back.

Shen Chuliu was probably angry, so he said: "I don't have Shen Cairen's ability, and I don't have the ability to invite favors. Naturally, I won't be happy with the emperor."

Shen Chuliu was drinking tea. When he heard this, he smiled and put down the tea bowl: "Chen Baolin has an advantage. He can see clearly. But if he knows that he is not good, he should just stay there. Why bother?"

"Isn't it shameful for Shen Cairen to invite favors like this?" Chen Baolin was furious.

"That's what you said. I am the emperor's talented person. It's embarrassing to ask for the emperor's favor. Is it embarrassing if you can't ask for it? I understand that you don't have the ability to vent your anger, but you should stop it in moderation, otherwise I won't be a good-tempered person."

This is true, it is true.

Who wouldn't invite favors? Just don't say it.

No matter what the method is, it is good if it succeeds. The worst thing is that if you try all your treasures and have no effect, it will be ugly.

"Now that Shen Cairen is favored, he can naturally say whatever he wants. Why bother, Chen Baolin?" Li Xiaoyi said coolly.

"Oh, that's what I said. Li Xiaoyi and Chen Baolin entered the palace on the same day. I heard that they were also good friends when they were in the boudoir. It's different." Concubine Jin had a grudge, and now she doesn't like Li Xiaoyi anymore. .

This was a good thing to say, so Shen Chuliu stopped interrupting and watched Concubine Jin and Li Xiaoyi fighting with each other.

The queen above had probably heard enough, so she put down her tea bowl and said, "There's nothing else to do today, so let's go."

Concubine Jin was still unfinished, so she had no choice but to keep it.

After leaving Fengzao Palace, Concubine Feng Shu said coldly: "Concubine Jin is too promising."

A second-grade concubine was quarreling with Xiaoyi. It’s really a price drop.

Concubine Jin was repeatedly annoyed by Concubine Feng Shu, but she couldn't hold it back: "I'd better worry about whether Wen Xiaoyi's matter has come to an end when the three days are up."

After the confrontation, Fu Shen left.

I don’t know whether it was frightened or frightened.

However, it is not without results.

In the afternoon, Concubine Feng Shu invited the emperor to Fuyang Palace.

The queen also came, and so did the other concubines.

"Your Majesty, I have found out the whole story." Feng Shufei said.

Qi Yixiu sat there and nodded, meaning what you said.

"I found out that it was Cao Cairen's eunuch who stopped Concubine Yi's delivery of tonics to Wen Xiaoyi and added the abortion pill. The slave has already confessed, but it's a pity that he couldn't bear the punishment and committed suicide."

"You mean, Cao Cairen did this?" Qi Yixiu asked calmly with a confused look on his face. Concubine Feng Shu was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "This... maybe it is the slave who is trying to catch me, but the person has already committed suicide..."

"So, this is the result you gave me?" Qi Yixiu sneered: "You really surprised me."

"Your Majesty, my concubine..." Concubine Feng Shu was anxious.

"Your Majesty, my sister may have made a mistake in her investigation, but what the eunuch said is true..." Concubine Yi also knelt down.

"It's a pity that the person is dead, and there is no evidence to support his death." Yi Chongyuan sighed: "It's really hard to explain this unclear sentence. Cao Cairen himself just lost a child, so there is no reason to harm other people's children. . Besides, even if she has harmed others by not having a child, is it so easy to add things to the gifts given by the concubine?"

Yi Chongyuan smiled: "Although I am not talented, this sounds a bit too childish."

Kang Chongyi coughed a few times: "I think so too, how can it be so simple to harm others?"

"You are not in good health, so you don't have to work hard." Qi Yixiu said.

Kang Chongyi said he was fine, so he sat down and stopped talking.

"Cao Cairen has been ill for a long time." Li Xiaoyi suddenly said.

"Go and tell her to come. If she can't come, arrange a sedan for her." The queen said calmly.

While waiting for Cao Cairen to arrive. Concubine Feng Shu and Concubine Yi were kneeling.

About two-quarters of an hour later, Cao Cairen arrived, carrying a very ugly looking person in a sedan chair.

She had not yet recovered from her serious illness. When she suddenly heard about this, she almost fainted from fright.

When he came in, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen! I have done no harm to anyone, how dare you!"

"Cao Cairen, Concubine Feng Shu found out that your eunuch added something to the tonic that Concubine Yi gave to Wen Xiaoyi." Yi Chongyuan reminded with good intentions.

It was named by Feng Shufei who found out.

Cao Cairen's face was ugly: "Your Majesty, I don't know, I don't know. How could the eunuch suddenly do such a thing? I have never had any contact with Wen Xiaoyi. How could I harm her child for no reason! What good does it do to my concubine!"

Qi Yixiu also said: "I also want to know what benefit this has to you. Concubine Feng Shu, why don't you tell me, what benefit does this have to Cao Cairen?"

Concubine Feng Shu shook her head: "Your Majesty, I am my concubine..."

"Ms. Feng, you are too good at fooling me. It is more credible to say that Cao Cairen is dealing with the Wei family. Are you actually fooling me, the people in the harem, and the emperor into thinking he is a fool?" the queen said angrily.

"Concubine, no, it is indeed..."

"Shut up!" Qi Yixiu snorted coldly: "Concubine Feng Shu knows people poorly and handles things unfairly. There is no need to take care of palace affairs anymore. There will be no need to take care of it in the future. Fuyang Palace will impose a penalty of half a year's profit. Concubine Feng Shu is not allowed to wear a green card in March."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Feng Shu was shocked. In the past few years since entering the palace, she had never been punished like this.

"What? If you dare to say one more word, I will take the second prince away immediately, and you don't have to worry about the child." Qi Yixiu was really angry.

"I don't dare, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Feng Shu shook her hands and did not dare to argue.

"Concubine Yi, Song Zhaoyi, you two are in charge of palace affairs. If you make a mistake again, you will be responsible for the consequences. There is no need to investigate this matter again. Cao Cai is not familiar with people, so he will be punished with a month's profit. Add another person to serve. Wei Shi If this child cannot be born, Concubine Yi and Song Zhaoyi will both be demoted."

After that, Qi Yixiu rolled up his sleeves and left.

Everyone hurriedly sent the emperor off respectfully.

The queen also stood up: "Your Majesty trusts you. You should handle it well. I am also protecting the Wei family. No more trouble can occur."

"Yes, Queen, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you." Concubine Yi said.
