"You guys, go inside to serve. You guys go to the treasury to pick some treasures and send them to Xueluo Palace. You guys, follow me to the harem."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuchs and maids who were serving said in unison.
They all went to do their own things.
inside the house
Yun Qianxue was lying on the bed, the red tide on her face hadn't subsided, her eyes were still very red and swollen, but they were not as frightening as before. Instead, her eyes were full of glances, her eyes were full of spring, and her lips were red and swollen. What just happened.
The young court lady who opened the door and entered couldn't help but blushed, but the faces of several older people did not change.
"Greetings to the imperial concubine, Your Majesty asked the servants to serve the empress."
"Get up." Yun Qianxue is not shy at all. In this deep palace, as a concubine, it is a very happy thing to be favored by the emperor. The supreme honor is to survive in this deep palace. Basically, no matter how shy she is at this time, she won't be Yun Qianxue.
People in the old palace are also accustomed to it. Which one of the masters they have served in these years is not like this. Except for the first empress, the other empresses all look arrogant.
The crowd waited on Yun Qianxue to wash and change clothes, and they showed their hospitality basket by basket.
But at this time, the situation in the harem has changed.
The women who had just been beaten were summoned to the meeting hall in the harem at this moment. Everyone didn't know what happened, and they were summoned as soon as they arrived in their respective palaces.
After waiting here for a long time, no one came. Just when I couldn't help but talk, there was a shrill voice from outside the door,
"The emperor is here."
Everyone thumped in their hearts. If it was normal, they would be too happy for the emperor to come here, but they had just been slapped by Yun Qianxue, and now the kung fu emperor came. No one would believe that it was okay, but no one thought of Yun Qianxue. She would sue the emperor. In the past, Yun Qianxue could do nothing but pretend to be pitiful.
"The concubine pays homage to His Majesty."
Several concubines stood up and saluted.
"Everyone get up and sit down." Mo Wenli's voice could not hear any joy or anger, and the concubines couldn't tell what he was doing for a while.
Mo Wenli sat in the first place, swept across the faces, and frowned.
"What happened to the faces of the concubines?"
The seemingly inadvertent question made everyone's heart skip a beat, and Liu Pin laughed dryly, "Yes...we accidentally dropped it."
"Oh? Really? Where did the concubines fall, why did they all fall?"
Everyone choked.
"Wan'er, tell me."
Mo Wenli looked at Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan was Mo Wenli's favorite concubine, of course she dared to speak much more than these less favored concubines, not to mention Concubine Wan felt uncomfortable when she thought of Yun Qianxue's words, His Majesty loves her, so he will not punish her for the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, it's... it's my sister. We were chatting in the garden, and we had a great time chatting. We didn't see my sister coming back, but my sister didn't say anything, so... she ordered the servants around her to beat us up."
As he talked, he couldn't help covering his face and crying, looking so pitiful.
When Mo Wenli saw this scene, his heart moved. How could he not feel pity for his favorite concubine who looked so lovely and pitiful
But in the current situation, he had to put aside the less important and appease Yun Qianxue's emotions, so that Prime Minister Yun could wholeheartedly work for him.
Mo Wenli didn't answer, but waved his hand and called Yun Qianxue's personal attendant.
"Tell me, what happened?" After a pause, he said again, "You have to tell the truth and be careful, otherwise, be careful with your head!"
"Yes, this old slave dare not lie." The eunuch was not sure what His Majesty meant, and when he heard this sentence, cold sweat rolled down his forehead instantly.
He is in a dilemma. Although he is Concubine Xue's personal attendant, he knows that His Majesty's favorite concubine is Concubine Wan, but His Majesty has just had the honor of Concubine Xue, and now he sings it again, what does it mean
I thought to myself, it was us lowly slaves who suffered the crimes on the left and right, one of them could not be said to be killed, let’s be honest, he really flattered Concubine Xue, but he offended all the concubines, he might be killed at will someday. An was killed for some crime, but let's not tell the truth, if Concubine Xue found out, she would inevitably be beaten severely.
Jiang is still old and hot, and the old eunuch is still an old eunuch. After rolling his cloudy eyes a few times, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Neither Concubine Wan nor Concubine Xue can afford to offend, so the other concubines...
His Majesty must give Concubine Xue Gui an explanation, but the lamb for this explanation has to be found from his mouth.
Seeing that the old eunuch didn't speak, Mo Wenli became a little impatient.
"I'm asking you something!"
The old eunuch knelt on the ground with a common sound.
"The old slave is terrified."
"Why are you so afraid! With me here, you can just say it."
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief when he got the words, this is what he wanted.
"Yes, just an hour ago, the old slave stayed with the imperial concubine on the promenade not far from the garden. The imperial concubine was in a good mood, but..." Speaking of this, the old eunuch paused deliberately, his eyes seemed a little He glanced in the direction of Concubine Liu in a panic, and looked at Concubine Wan from the corner of his eye.
Concubine Liu's heart skipped a beat, she always felt that something bad was about to happen to her, sure enough.
"But at this time, the voices of all the ladies came from the garden, talking and laughing. The imperial concubine wanted to chat with all the ladies about the housework, but unexpectedly heard... heard the ladies talking about the imperial concubine. Empress."
"What did they say?" Mo Wenli continued to ask.
"This... the old slave didn't hear it too clearly when he was far away, but only heard it when he was close... the concubine Liu said... that the noble concubine's virtue is unworthy, vulgar and vicious, it is... that she became a noble concubine by relying on the power behind her …”
Concubine Liu's eyes were wide open, and she was trembling.
"You are talking nonsense! You are slandering me! Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged, it was him, he was the one talking nonsense, he wanted to harm the concubine..."
The old eunuch stopped talking, and kept his head down, as if he didn't dare to speak.
Mo Wenli's brows finally relaxed, he knew in his heart that these concubines must have said it all when they were together, but now he doesn't care who said it, as long as there is a scapegoat, as long as there is a scapegoat. It's not someone who is still useful to him or someone he cares about. If he dies, he dies. It's no big deal.
"Shut up! This little eunuch has no grievances with you, why did he frame you! Okay, you say he framed you, Concubine Wan, tell me, did Concubine Liu say nothing?"
Mo Wenli turned his gaze to Concubine Wan.
