Xi Jieyu was completely insane. In the middle of the night, she used the emperor's hair she had collected to do the trick. Seeing her hair burning into ashes in the strange flame, she smiled distortedly, carefully collected the ashes, and swallowed them together with the water.
His Majesty, who was sleeping comfortably with his wife in his arms, seemed to sense something, frowned and opened his eyes, rubbing the center of his brows suspiciously.
He always felt that there seemed to be someone very important and who needed his care was guarding the empty boudoir alone. Emotions told him he should go see the man right away, but reason prevented such unreliable thoughts.
Looking at Su Qiaorong lying beside him, his out-of-control emotions immediately calmed down.
Qiaorong is lying beside him, where is there any woman outside who needs his care? It must be an illusion.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
During the day, Fu Yanjun finished his breakfast in his yard and planned to visit his son and daughter.
When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked to the west.
There are two courtyards to the west, one of which is Xi Jieyu's. He suddenly wanted to go and see Xi Jieyu, wondering what was going on with this gentle and caring woman in the past.
After thinking about it for a while, Fu Yanjun changed direction and went to the west courtyard.
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of Miss Jinli who was following him. There were only two courtyards to the west, one for Xi Jieyu and Mrs. Mei, and the other for Concubine Fu. No matter which one it is, it shouldn't be the emperor who is willing to go there at the moment. Even if it is Mrs. Mei, the emperor usually won't go there early in the morning.
What's more, the emperor had only been there two days ago, and going to Mrs. Mei's now would go against his plan of "only favoring" Mrs. Lan.
But Jinli didn't say much, just followed quietly.
His Majesty the Emperor walked all the way into the painting academy, and did not go to Mrs. Mei's Huasiju, but to Xijieyu's Huaranju.
Jin Li keenly sensed something was wrong.
But she didn't point it out easily, but took a step forward and said: "Yesterday, His Majesty promised His Highness Qingxi to go to see her paint in the morning, and now she is delayed by something, so she should go tell the imperial concubine and His Royal Highness, To save His Highness from waiting?"
His Majesty the Emperor didn't think too much, and nodded: "You are still careful."
Jin Li silently waved and called a young eunuch with fast legs. She was a few steps behind and kept away from the emperor, and then whispered a few words to the eunuch.
The little eunuch glanced at the emperor's back in surprise, and ran away quickly.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor had already entered Huaran Residence, and Xi Jieyu who got the news had already walked out with Ruyue's support.
"My concubine has met Your Majesty." She was dressed thinly and plainly, without any hairpins or jewelry on her body, she didn't look like a concubine, but like a weak woman who was bullied.
A sense of pity and anger suddenly rose in Fu Yanjun's heart, and he stepped forward to gently support Xi Jieyu: "Why is my concubine dressed like this? But someone bullied my concubine just because of the wind?"
After hearing the first sentence, Xi Jieyu's heart was beating wildly, and when she heard the latter sentence, her heart slowly calmed down, and a burst of ecstasy arose in her heart. That nightmare technique is so effective!
"Your Majesty." Xi Jieyu leaned into Fu Yanjun's arms weakly, very pitifully, "No one bullies my concubine, but my concubine misses Your Majesty."
At present, it is not sure whether the emperor is obedient to him, and if he is obedient to what extent, Xi Jieyu dare not make mistakes, and only speaks carefully before speaking. She was afraid that if she said a word wrongly, she would step on a thunder and make the emperor break free from the nightmare.
The two emperors and concubines entered the room leaning on each other, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the palace servants who followed, his eyes flashed with impatience, he waved them all out, leaving only Ruyue and Jinli in the room.
Without the light bulb, Fu Yanjun felt much more at ease. He held Xi Jieyu's hand tightly, feeling very distressed: "My concubine has lost weight, so she must have been bullied. You don't have to cover up for them, just tell me which daring servants bullied you."
Xi Jieyu was overjoyed, it seemed that the emperor could use the hand of the emperor to retaliate, this should not touch the bottom line.
She immediately put on a embarrassed look, and hesitantly hugged the names of a few palace maids who had started to snub her since she lost power. His Majesty the Emperor asked Jin Li to write them down one by one, and then ordered these people to be brought over, and dealt with them in front of Xi Jieyu.
Jinli frowned slightly, but did not stop her. The left and right are nothing but scumbags, they are slaves with bad morals, and it doesn't matter if they are dealt with.
She would like to see how far His Majesty the Emperor can be "demented".
Anyway, the imperial concubine has been notified, and the empress must be on her way here. If His Majesty the Emperor does something excessive in a while, let the imperial concubine knock him out.
Jin Li praised her wit, so that she would not offend His Majesty the Emperor.
Xi Jieyu was elated, she tentatively said: "My concubine, my sister..."
"Madam Mei dares to bully you? How ignorant of filial piety!" Fu Yanjun was furious.
It seems that the closer you are to Xi Jieyu, the more urgent your desire to attract and protect her becomes. Just holding hands was not enough for Fu Yanjun, he pulled Xi Jieyu into his arms and hugged her, comforting Xi Jieyu: "Don't be afraid, Xi'er, I will seek justice for you. Come!"
Seeing this, Jin Li quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "The servant is here!"
"It is my decree that Mrs. Mei's title will be taken away, and she will be downgraded to Changing clothes. She is confined here. Yu Changing's yard is not allowed to enter or leave at will without an order!"
The corner of Jinli's mouth twitched slightly, she lowered her eyebrows and nodded: "Yes."
She slowly exited the room, pretending to give some instructions. In fact, he didn't say anything, and only asked him to tell the imperial concubine "the situation is urgent" after seeing the imperial concubine, so that the imperial concubine could be mentally prepared.
After saying this, she shouted loudly: "Do you remember?! Go to Yu's dressing place to pass the order!"
The eunuch was not stupid either, he pretended to agree, ran out of the courtyard in a hurry, found a corner to squat at the entrance of the courtyard, and made sure that people outside could not see him.
Jin Li went back to the house and continued to stand by.
Xi Jieyu was completely relieved this time, the emperor even got the title of Mrs. Mei, who had used the nightmare technique before, and grounded her feet, so who else in the harem she dared not deal with
With the backing of His Majesty the Emperor, Xi Jieyu became bolder. She first pretended to be angry and said that Xi was just a title, and her name was not that, and asked the emperor to call her by her nickname to show her closeness.
His Majesty the Emperor naturally agreed, and changed his words graciously, calling her "Ke'er".
Then Xi Jieyu complained about her low status, and His Majesty the Emperor immediately agreed to make her a good concubine without saying a word. A virtuous and virtuous concubine, the good concubine is the second among the four concubines. If the number of empresses, noble concubines, and virtuous concubines were not full, she would be able to get a higher position.
After receiving the letter of approval, Xi Jieyu put an end to a worry. But she is not satisfied with a good concubine, what she wants is a noble concubine.
Concubine Yan can't move, that's what the Queen Mother ordered, so, where is Concubine Shen
Xi Jieyu tentatively mentioned Shen Yuqing, wanting to see what status the imperial concubine who is the most favored in the harem is in the emperor's heart now, and whether there is a chance to push Shen Yuqing down and put her on top.
After hearing this question, Jin Li quietly rolled her eyes, and took another sneak look at Fangliang. There is no accident there, the imperial concubine is squatting.
In fact, when Xi Jieyu said her name just now, Jinli noticed that someone came in.
It was a subtle intuition, not that she really felt it, found it.
If it was normal, Jinli might ignore this feeling, or think it was her own illusion. But under the premise of knowing that Concubine Shen Gui, who is highly skilled in martial arts, was coming, Jinli immediately realized that someone had indeed come in, and the one who came in was the one she was waiting for.
As soon as Shen Yuqing came in, the girl from the secret guard who was crouching on the beam of the house was so anxious that she saw someone beside her. She quickly sent a voice transmission to succinctly explain what Xi Jieyu did last night and the strange behavior of His Majesty the Emperor today.
Xi Jieyu got the news from Mrs. Lan last night, and it was also last night that she made a fuss. After sending it out, she immediately used that hair to perform religious rituals, but the dark guard girl didn't know that the hair was His Majesty's hair, and Xi Jieyu and Ru Yue didn't make it clear, so the dark guard didn't notice it. importance of the matter.
Because she heard that the emperor was resting alone today, she took a chance to visit the emperor's courtyard. In the end, he was not there, and Jinli said that the emperor went to Concubine Yan.
It was too late at that time, Jinli felt it was not good to disturb Concubine Yan's rest, after all, she still had one in her stomach. So the dark guard didn't go there, and planned to come to report this morning, but before she had time to come and say something, the nightmare technique took effect.
It was also at this time that she and Jinli realized that the emperor had suffered from a nightmare.
"Xi Jieyu has His Majesty's hair!" The secret guard gritted her teeth.
Shen Yuqing stared at the person below with great interest, and patted her on the shoulder to make her calm down. It's not a big deal, the emperor's dragon energy protects the body, this kind of magic can't last long, and it can last until night. If Xi Jieyu has touched the bottom line that cannot be touched, it may be over before night.
However, Shen Yuqing felt that with Xi Jieyu's ability to kill, she would probably be taken care of by a dog soon. Then don't worry, just wait.
The two ended their short conversation, and the following conversation also proceeded to the question of Concubine Xi asking the emperor how he felt about Shen Yuqing.
To Xi Jieyu's surprise, His Majesty the Emperor immediately frowned upon hearing this question.
Usually the emperor would pretend, but now that he was under the influence of magic, he was unwilling to lie to Xi Jieyu, so he directly exposed his true thoughts.
Shen Yuqing? What does that dominatrix have to say!
"How could I like that tigress? I have never seen a woman who is more ferocious than her, and I doubt that she is really a woman!" Fu Yanjun gritted his teeth, "This bastard still dares to beat me, does he really think his martial arts are amazing?!"
Xi Jieyu opened her mouth wide.
Wait, what did she hear? Concubine Shen Gui is so strong in martial arts that she can openly beat up His Majesty the Emperor? ?
"She even abducted me..." At this point, Fu Yanjun suddenly shut up, realizing that this matter should not be exposed casually.
He abruptly changed the subject, unwilling to talk about it again: "Let's not talk about her, Ke'er, I got a baby a few days ago, and I'll let Jinli bring it to you later."
Although Xi Jieyu was heartbroken and almost heard some shocking secret, it was a pity that His Majesty the Emperor was unwilling to reveal it. But she didn't ask further, knowing that this matter could not be asked, so she followed the emperor's words in a good manner.
"What kind of treasure? Your Majesty can't just take something and prevaricate a concubine."
The imperial concubine and the concubine chatted happily, and the imperial concubine on the beam narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Hey, it turns out that the dog emperor has so much resentment towards her, it seems that the usual beatings are not hard enough...
Although the next two were chatting, Xi Jieyu didn't want to waste time chatting with the emperor about these useless things. After she can't say a few words, she will test it out, trying to dig out some confidential information.
It really made her dig up a lot. For example, every time Jinli investigates a case, she doesn't tell the truth that she really found out, but selectively announces it according to the emperor's will. As for the hidden parts, Xi Jieyu dug up a lot.
For example, the aphrodisiac in Concubine Fu's medicine was given to her by herself, and An Jieyu was pregnant with a fake pregnancy, and finally gave birth to a deformed stillbirth.
Shen Yuqing and Jin Li looked at Xi Jieyu coldly, this woman knew so much, it seemed that she would not survive today.
And Ru Yue who was beside her who had listened to too much inside information.
At this moment, Ru Yue was sweating profusely on her forehead, not as relaxed as Xi Jieyu. She knew that this nightmare technique would not last long, as long as the nightmare technique failed and the emperor found himself being tricked, then neither she nor Xi Jieyu could think about it.
However, if it was just a nightmare, it would be a pity that Jieyu would be punished the most, and she could die simply as an accessory. But knowing so much news, she was afraid that she would not know how to die, and might even feel worse than death.
No, before she dies, she must find a way to pass these inside information to Concubine Xian.
Ru Yue bit her lips, and while the emperor and concubine had a break to drink tea, she came out, "Servant, go and bring some refreshments to Your Majesty."
"Go." Xi Jieyu waved her off without any doubt.
Concubine Shen glanced at the girl from the dark guard next to her, who immediately nodded and followed her out.
Ruyue still wants to spread the news? dream.
As soon as she walked out of the yard, she was knocked out by the dark guards and took her away. At this time, the hidden guards around the emperor had also dispersed in Xijieyu's courtyard, knocking out all the palace servants and taking them into custody.
If you dare to play sorcery on His Majesty the Emperor, these palace servants will be implicated by the master.
These people are basically Xi Jieyu's confidantes, the only ones who are not are also dealt with by Xi Jieyu just now by the emperor. So none of these people are innocent, so there is no need to be merciful.
The cliché continued in the room.
Xi Jieyu tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart, and hid her trembling hands in her sleeves.
She suddenly wondered if the emperor had ever truly loved a woman, and if so, who it was. Such a person will definitely become her biggest obstacle, because by such a person's side, the effect of the nightmare technique will be minimized. If there is such a person, she must prevent the emperor from getting close to that person, at least the three of them cannot stay together.
When His Majesty the Emperor heard her question, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He didn't really want to say it, but Xi Jieyu who approached him was too bewitched, so he confessed unconsciously.
"I have only loved one person before, and that is Qiao Rong."
Qiaorong
Xi Jieyu frowned slightly, who is that
Wait, I seem to have heard this name somewhere...
"Yan... Concubine?" Xi Jieyu asked tentatively.
When Fu Yanjun heard this sentence, he reacted greatly. A smile flashed in his eyes: "It's her."
Xi Jieyu's face darkened instantly, and she suddenly thought of a terrible possibility. Concubine Yan didn't enter the palace to occupy a place at all, she was the emperor's sweetheart!
Unexpectedly, the emperor would use such a roundabout way to get someone into the palace to give him a high position, and even painstakingly found someone else to serve as a shield for Concubine Yan, so that Concubine Yan could stay in the harem with peace of mind.
It's a shame they were all kept in the dark, playing around!
Xi Jieyu's sanity collapsed in an instant, she grabbed the emperor's hand and said, "Concubine Yan is not good to me, you should give her to death!"
Jin Li instantly raised her head and looked directly at Xi Jieyu. But all Xi Jieyu's attention was on the emperor, and she didn't feel her eyes at all.
She was looking forward to it in her heart, as long as Su Qiaorong died, no one could compare to her. She might be able to pull the queen down, then become the queen, give birth to the prince, and finally become the queen mother!
However, all her beautiful fantasies came to an abrupt end in the next second.
Fu Yanjun turned his face instantly, and overturned Xi Jieyu, his face was gloomy: "How dare you murder Qiaorong!"
Su Qiaorong was his bottom line, but Xi Jieyu stepped on it carelessly for a while, causing the nightmare technique to fail prematurely. His Majesty the emperor, who was furious, hadn't realized about the nightmare for the time being, and now his eyes were full of Xi Jieyu's daring to try to kill his sweetheart, and he wished to tear Xi Jieyu's body to pieces.
As soon as he lost his temper, Xi Jieyu was dumbfounded.
The nightmare technique has failed, she is going to die!
Shen Yuqing immediately jumped off the beam and stopped the emperor who was about to strangle Xi Jieyu to death.
"Don't be impulsive." Shen Yuqing frowned slightly, "That Ruyue has a problem, I don't know who it is, check it first. Xi Jieyu probably doesn't know how to use the nightmare technique, where did Ruyue find out about it?" Arrived?"
This is very critical, because once there may be a second time. The root cause must be found to avoid future troubles.
Xi Jieyu looked at Shen Yuqing who fell from the sky in a daze, and listening to her words, she felt that she was going to lose her mind.
What do you mean... There is someone behind Ruyue
who is it? ! Who is framing her? !
Xi Jieyu shuddered, Ru Yue was her confidant who had been by her side many years ago, yet she would have another master, this truth made her shudder. If Ruyue is someone else's pawn, has Ruyue done anything by her side that she didn't guard against before, such as poisoning her
"She must have been poisoned by mental poison." Shen Yuqing stepped forward to check Xi Jieyu's situation. Although Shen Yuqing didn't know medical skills, she knew a little about poison.
She has also seen psychotropic drugs. They have various effects, some directly kill people, some make people crazy, and some make people arrogant. Xi Jieyu's is the last one, which will make her lower her psychological defenses, make her fight dangerous, paranoid and irritable.
Xi Jieyu doesn't know what mental poison is, but she knows that since it's called poison, it's definitely not a good thing. Ru Yue actually poisoned her, her worries came true.
Xi Jieyu's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, if Ru Yue was in front of her, she would definitely bite off a few mouthfuls of flesh to vent her anger. It's a pity that Ruyue ran away a long time ago, she was the one who let her go.
"Don't worry about Ruyue first." Fu Yanjun finally regained his senses, he closed his eyes, "Has Ruyue been caught? She knows too much."
Shen Yuqing nodded slightly: "Let the hidden guard catch her, she doesn't have to worry. You solve this first." She pointed to Xi Jieyu who fell on the ground.
Xi Jieyu made a big death this time, and the evidence is solid. This time, the Yu family is going to be hurt.
Sorcery has always been one of the most taboo things in the palace, anyone who touches it will die. Even if the Yu family didn't save Jieyu, they would have to shed a layer of skin, so they couldn't stay out of it.
Fu Yanjun sneered at Xi Jieyu: "Let the secret guards come and throw her into the dark prison. And that Ru Yue, all the palace people around Xi Jieyu."
Shen Yuqing has no objection, Xi Jieyu and Ru Yue know a lot of secrets, they can't be locked up in a normal place, otherwise it will be very troublesome if it is revealed. As for those palace people, Xi Jieyu was like a dog anyway, so there was nothing to plead for them.
"It's time to clean the palace. There are all kinds of monsters and ghosts." Fu Yanjun said to Jinli lightly, "Zhen, I want all the eyeliners to be swept out of the palace, do you understand?"
It's all eyeliner, no matter who it is. It doesn't matter if it's Mrs. Mei's or Xi Jieyu's. Except for the emperor's people, don't even think about keeping anyone else.
Jin Li lamented her terrible workload ahead, and obediently complied.
Ordinary eyeliner will come out as soon as you check it, this one is easy to clean up. But all words, including those that are hidden deeply, are difficult to deal with.
If you want to find out one by one, you have to check all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the palace people. How long it would take, she didn't even want to think about it.
Moreover, with so much eyeliner sent out, many places in the palace will be short of people, how will we solve it then
Jin Li despaired just thinking about it.
"What's the matter?" Man Chen, who was grabbed by Jin Li and complained, didn't care. "Aren't there still many people in the training department who haven't been trained? Just let them come out early."
Both she and Jin Li came from there, and they were the most powerful of their batch. Now there are still many people with clean family backgrounds in the training office. Although they are not up to the standard, it is more than enough for them to enter the palace and be an ordinary court lady and eunuch.
The people around the concubines in the palace will definitely not change their blood, and in other places, layoffs are fine. As long as the normal operation of the palace can be maintained, having fewer people means that the palace people will be busier.
The emperor probably meant that, except for the imperial hospital and the first and second-class palace people around the concubines, everything else should be investigated. In this way, the transfer from the training office should be barely enough. If it didn't work, a part of the palace was locked. In fact, the most needed people in the palace were the sweeping bureau and the clothing bureau.
With fewer people and fewer palaces, there will be fewer people needed for the sweeping bureau and the clothing bureau.
If it doesn't work, the Huanyi Bureau can pick some less serious ones from the criminal prison and distribute them there. Once the gate of the office is locked, no one is allowed to enter or leave, so what if these people are eyeliners
After hearing this, Jinli sighed: "Alright, that's the only way to go."
The only palaces that can be locked in the palace are the small palaces and Yunxiang palace where no one lives. The main hall of Changzui Palace where Xi Jieyu lived must be exchanged for Mrs. Mei, and those who live in small palaces can also be sent to live in side halls in the eight main palaces. The vacated small palace was locked together, and it was enough to clean it every three months, since no one lived there anyway.
