The emperor finally walked around the harem again. The women in the harem were both happy and jealous, because the emperor turned over the concubine Rou's sign first.
When Zhuang Luoyan went to the Queen's Jingyang Palace to greet her the next day, she saw a confrontation between the women and Concubine Rou. a good show.
After the greeting, Zhuang Luoyan was really too lazy to talk to a bunch of women about hiding a needle in cotton, so he took Tingzhu and Yunxi back to Taoyu Pavilion, but on the way, he saw a few eunuchs hurriedly passing by. Although his expression was solemn, he was not panicked.
"Master..." Tingzhu glanced at the eunuchs suspiciously, "Would you like to ask what happened?"
"No, go back," Zhuang Luoyan's expression remained unchanged, "The queen manages matters in the harem, you and I don't need to be too curious."
Curiosity can kill not only cats, but people, and she'd rather not know what's going on than make trouble for herself.
Listening to Zhu nodded and said yes, he also knew that there were a lot of shameful things in this harem. Knowing too much was not a good thing. If something really happened, everyone in the harem would know about it sooner or later.
In the afternoon, news came out that the bodies of two palace maids were found in the dry well next to the cold palace. The queen was very angry and wanted to clear the unhealthy atmosphere in the harem.
After listening to the whole process, Zhuang Luoyan was deeply amused. This is not the case in this harem, and there are only these two people who died. The queen just wanted to take this opportunity to warn some restless concubines.
In the evening, the eunuchs from the Dianzhong Province came to Taoyu Pavilion, saying that they were ordered to inspect the palaces. Zhuang Luoyan didn't stop him, and let the eunuchs check. Fortunately, these eunuchs were very polite. After only a brief inspection, they retreated in a proper manner, and even the decorations stood in the original place. place.
Zhuang Luoyan knew in his heart that if she was an unloved character today, it would be a different scene, but the queen ordered a thorough investigation of the six palaces, this method would be a bit risky, not to mention that the harem was sullen and secretive. Little, just say that the powers of the various palaces are also unclear, and if it causes panic in the harem, it will be even more troublesome.
A woman like the queen disdains to fight with women in the harem, but if she becomes ruthless, I am afraid that even the most favored people will have their tails between their tails. For example, Concubine Shu, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Yangui are favored, and they are also well-behaved in front of the Queen, which shows the Queen's means.
Of course, this is inseparable from the emperor's respect for the empress. The so-called Ming Jun always favors his concubine but does not despise his wife. In this entire palace, the most scheming person is probably the emperor.
The empress made this move today, I am afraid that it was approved by the emperor. The biggest purpose is to warn everyone in the harem not to forget their duty.
He squinted and took a sip from the teacup, "Listen to bamboo, study ink."
Spreading out a good piece of rice paper with a big Buddha character written on it, Zhuang Luoyan took the pen and wrote a small Buddha under the big Buddha character, then put the pen aside, sometimes learning Buddha nature Not bad.
Although she is a shameless and skinless woman, she is a woman, so it is natural for her to hold grudges.
Listening to Zhu and Yunxi stepped forward to put the pen and inkstone down, and looking at the majestic Buddha characters, they actually sensed two points of murderous intent.
Holding up the teacup, she let the tea blur the Buddha's characters little by little, then she pulled the rice paper off the table at will, "Burn it."
In the charcoal basin, the half-wet rice paper burned very slowly. Yun Xi raised her head and saw the condensed expression of the master through the curling green smoke. She was shocked, and when she lowered her head, she saw the dizzy rice paper that was dyed into ink balls. turned to ashes.
Feng Jin originally went to the residence of the concubine Yangui, but felt that the smell of incense inside was not to his liking. After leaving Linyuexuan, he returned to the Qianzheng Palace. When the maid undressed him, he accidentally dropped a sachet in on the ground.
Looking at the shivering maid kneeling in front of him, Feng Jin frowned and glanced at the sachet on the ground. This sachet was sewn for him by Concubine Shu Gui, and the auspicious cloud pattern on it was lifelike, giving it a fairyland feel, so he hung it up. On his body, now that the sachet fell to the ground, he thought of another woman.
"The emperor spares his life, the slaves are convicted, and the emperor spares his life." Seeing that the emperor did not respond for a long time, the palace maid was so frightened that she kept kowtowing, only to save a small life.
Feng Jin frowned, "Go back with this sachet, Gao Dezhong, and set up in the Taoyu Pavilion."
When the holy car arrived at Taoyu Pavilion, the lanterns outside Taoyu Pavilion were not bright, and under the slightly dim candlelight, there was a missing figure waiting with a lantern.
Stopping the eunuch of Taoyu Pavilion from singing the report, Feng Jin walked straight into the gate.
The Taoyu Pavilion is very delicately built, but the layout is not too big. Feng Jin walked to the outer room of Zhuangluo's residence not long after he left, and waved back a group of eunuchs and palace maids. Only Gao Dezhong followed behind, and Feng Jin left. go in.
Gao Dezhong heard thin voices in the room so as not to collide with the master, buried his head lower, and stood quietly behind the emperor.
"Master, your knee is so blue, the slave sent someone to pass on the imperial doctor." Yun Xi lifted Zhuang Luoyan's trouser legs, only to see that there was a bruise on the originally fair and delicate knee, looking very scary.
"No need," Zhuang Luoyan was not a squeamish woman, looked at the two bruises on her knees, and said indifferently, "It just looks scary, but it doesn't really hurt. Spread it out, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Yun Xi frowned, and also knew that what the master said was right, this was originally made to make things difficult for Concubine Yuan, if the Taoyu Pavilion called an imperial doctor and spread it to Concubine Yuan, I was afraid that Concubine Yuan would embarrass the master again, "But master, if these few The Emperor of Japan flipped your sign, what should I do if I saw it?"
Zhuang Luoyan tilted his head, but saw the candles flickering outside the window, his expression changed slightly: "The bluestone road outside Taoyu Pavilion has some moss, can you see it?"
"Yes..." Yun Xi responded in a low mood, wringing out the hot towel in her hand and covering it on the bruised knee, she heard the master's low gasping sound.
"master…"
"It's okay," Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile, "your master was punished a lot a few days ago, how can you be so delicate, just put on a hot towel, you can go to bed later ."
"How can you sleep like a servant like this?" Yun Xi also found the candles that were on and off outside the window. This was ordered by the master earlier. If the emperor came suddenly at night, shake a specific lantern a few times, and let him They have preparations, which shows how correct the master is to plan ahead.
"A few days ago, when the emperor didn't come to Taoyu Pavilion, anyone who saw you could insult you, and even Ma Jieyu, whose rank was not much higher than you, punished you for kneeling for a few hours. Now it's finally better. Today, my knee has been bruised again, and the servants look at it and feel distressed." Yun Xi put the towel on it carefully, "It hurts a little bit, please bear with me, master, and it will be soon after the bruises dissipate."
Gao Dezhong, who was outside, listened to the conversation in the house. Even if he didn't look at the emperor's face, he knew that Lord Long Live was not in a good mood right now. Seeing that the emperor was about to lift his foot in, Gao Dezhong hurriedly said loudly, "The emperor is here."
After Feng Jin brought Gao Dezhong into the door, Feng Jin saw Concubine Zhao kneeling on the ground with a loose coat on her body, her hair was loosely draped, and there was no decoration on her body, but Feng Jin remembered four words. , I feel pity.
