It rained in the middle of the night, and Shen Chuliu was awakened by thunder.
Zhemei was in the house and came over hurriedly: "Master, you're not afraid. It's thunder."
Shen Chuliu nodded in confusion and turned over to continue sleeping. She was not afraid of thunder, but it was too loud and she would be startled.
After turning over, he didn't fall asleep for a long time: "Where is the emperor tonight?"
"When I return to the master, the Emperor is at Zhuang Jieyu's place."
After resting at Xue Cairen's place for a night, Qi Yixiu was busy for a few days before going to Xue Cairen's place.
It's almost over now.
"Hmm." Shen Chuliu yawned: "Bring me some water. Why is the thunder so strong today? Isn't it only May?"
Zhemei held the lamp and asked someone to bring hot water: "Yes, but there have been strong thunders at this time in previous years, and this time it is also raining heavily."
Shen Chuliu drank something and continued to sleep.
There was nothing wrong with her here, but something happened in Yongning Palace.
Xue Cairen was also awakened by the thunder. He couldn't sleep for a while, so he stood in front of the window with his clothes on for a while, and something happened right then.
Suddenly a snow-white shadow ran past the window, shouting for my life.
Xue Cairen was frightened and fainted at that time. It was like pouring rain, and the imperial doctor could not come for a long time.
Fortunately, her fetal image was stabilized. I was quite frightened, but the baby was fine.
After daybreak, I had a high fever, but luckily I was not confused yet.
Her maid also saw the shadow, and she was stumbling to explain to the people from the Criminal Division.
Unfortunately, whether it was a human or a ghost, it rained heavily throughout the second half of the night, and there were no traces left.
The queen was furious in Fengzao Palace: "You are so courageous! You just want a pregnant woman to die for me! Where did the ghost come from? There is a ghost. I can't live without it. If I die, it will turn the world upside down." Let me check! From the night before last night to the early hours of this morning, whoever went out from the palace will be checked by me. If you miss one, I will screw your head!"
The eunuch in charge of the harem responded with trepidation, thinking that the queen would be very powerful once she showed off her power. She was worthy of being a princess.
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Your Majesty is so good, how can there be so many ghosts? Even if there are, why haven't they come out earlier? I think someone is acting as a ghost. Why doesn't anyone take Liu's lesson?"
"Hmph, no matter who is the ghost, don't ask me to find out." The queen waved her hands: "Let's all disperse. We can go back and check each other. This ghost is still running around."
Everyone stood up and left.
"Who do you think did this?" Shen Chuliu suddenly asked.
Yao Meiren shook her head: "It's hard to say, but the layout is not very precise. Although the heavy rain has hidden the traces, what about the white thing? I'm afraid it's not a sheet? It's quite big, right? It's not easy to hide. If you can't burn it, you can't burn it. , is a piece of evidence.”
"Besides, the Queen asked people to check who was there last night. We went out last night during the Lantern Festival, to Ruiqing Palace because of heavy rain. The time was right."
Going out from Yufu Palace late at night to Ruiqing Palace, this time must be right.
Like last night, there must be more than one person worried about the child.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Let's see. But Xue Cairen is in good health. It's just that he was frightened. The child is fine."
Just after returning to Jade Palace and changing clothes, news came that someone had been found.
"So fast?" Shen Chuliu was shocked.
"Isn't it? It was the eunuch who just lived there. He was about to throw the white sheet into the well and asked the eunuch who lived with him to catch him. Then they started a struggle and quickly alerted people. Then the truth will be revealed." Yuan Xiao. Smiling: "Originally, it would be okay if he hid it first."
"Tsk, he has a guilty conscience." Shen Chuliu said amusedly: "What's wrong with the man just now? Is he jumping over the wall in a hurry?"
"Hey, who knows, she had to pamper her for a few days before, but Xu Cai was not good at that time. Unexpectedly, Xu Cai's life has been better than hers in the past few years, and now she is pregnant. She must be unfair. Right?" Yuanxiao said. Shen Chuliu nodded: "Let's wait and see what the queen will say. If it's someone just now, I'm afraid the punishment won't be heavy."
After all, Master Fang still has to use it.
Shen Chuliu raised his hands and waited for the sixth prince to come back for dinner in Yufu Palace. In the afternoon, the result was obtained.
First of all, the pretender was killed with a stick.
Then the two eunuchs from Yongning Palace whom he bought with money were beaten to death together.
After the Yongning Palace lost its head position, it was like a plate of loose sand. Qian Jieyu couldn't control it, and Xue Cairen had no qualifications, so it was like a sieve.
It was also because of this chaos that Xue Cairen was able to hide her pregnancy.
Nowadays, success and failure are both chaotic.
After collecting the money, they thought it would be nothing to them if something went wrong, so they let the people in.
It's fine now, I'll die if I want money.
"Everyone in front of me has been taken to the Criminal Division, and most of them will be recruited in a short time," Yuan Xiao said.
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Okay, since it has nothing to do with us, we don't have to worry about it."
Such a commotion will only make Yongning Palace more strict, but Xue Cairen's pregnancy will be saved.
It has been a few years since Mr. Fangcai fell out of favor, but he still refuses to give up. He is really capable of making trouble.
What's the use of harming other people's children if you don't get pampered yourself
Is it stupid to do such a thing out of injustice
In the Taiji Palace, after listening to what the queen said, the emperor just agreed and said nothing more.
After hearing this, the queen was not in a hurry: "Let's ground the people just now."
There is no need to say how long the confinement will be, just keep it locked. Definitely going to be demoted.
Sure enough that day, the person in front of me just confessed, not only to this matter, but also to some other scandalous things, which were not serious matters, but were still unpleasant to hear.
Early the next morning, everyone in Fengzao Palace paid their respects, and the imperial edict came down. Just now, Fang Baolin was demoted to Fang Baolin, and was banned for half a year. A fine of half a year's salary.
Xue Cairen was innocently injured and was rewarded with a meal.
If he is not promoted now, he may have to wait until the child is born.
"This is really shooting yourself in the foot." Li Zhaoyi snorted after the seven-day suspension.
"What you have learned has led to imitation. Won't you get better at smashing your foot if you just learn?" Concubine Qian Shu smiled.
This was a mockery of Li Zhaoyi, and she had a good intention of saying this just after she came out of confinement.
"Oh, Concubine Qianshu is absolutely right. By the way. I heard that Li Zhaoyi went to Tai Chi Palace yesterday? Did she see the emperor?" Concubine Jin asked with a smile.
You are asking, but who doesn’t know yet
Li Zhaoyi went to Tai Chi Palace to apologize, but the emperor didn't see her at all.
"It's not your turn to ask, Concubine Jin, whether my concubine is seeing the emperor." Li Zhaoyi looked down on her, but she gave birth to a princess and was not favored, so what kind of person was she
She didn't hide her disdain, and her big thorns were just exposed.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that this person was not just pretending to be stupid, but was he really stupid
After all, Ying Xiurong back then had only one thing in mind.
As the saying goes, if a legitimate daughter can’t be taught well, how can a concubine be better
What's going on with the Marquis of Jinchang? Are you afraid that your family will be better off by sending such a person in
