Aunt Zhang then walked out and looked at Lian Xin inch by inch.
Before coming here, Lian Xin already knew the identity of this Aunt Zhang, so she had to suffer no matter what the punishment was.
It's just that Grandma Zhang's gaze was too vicious, and she looked at her for a full quarter of an hour without saying anything.
Lian Xin felt like she couldn't bear it any longer, and the sweat on her palms couldn't help but break out.
"Lian Xin is the eldest maid of Concubine Pei. Now there is no crown princess in the East Palace. I think it is not good to punish her directly. But she is disrespectful to Miss Wei family. This is an ironclad fact. I suggest that Lian Xin be punished." Miss Xin can be sent back to the Pei family for further training and training."
Nanny Zhang turned around and finished saying all this, then raised her head and waited for the prince to speak.
But a few words frightened Lian Xin so much that she turned pale. She knelt on the ground with a thud and begged for mercy again and again: "Prince, atone for your sins! This slave is arrogant and disrespectful to Miss Wei. It's really blinding. Your crime deserves death. What's the matter with Prince?" The slaves are all here to be punished, please Prince, please don’t send the slaves back to the Pei family!”
"Shut up!" Nanny Zhang suddenly turned around and yelled, "The prince hasn't spoken yet! How dare you, a cheap servant, interrupt without permission! Someone is here! Slap!"
Soon two elderly palace maids came over, one was holding Lian Xin while the other rolled up her sleeves, held and released her palms, adjusted her strength, and slapped her down.
Snapped!
Lian's heart tilted, and a bright red palm print suddenly appeared on the right side of his face.
Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and his right ear was buzzing, and he seemed to be unable to hear any sound.
Bang bang bang!
After ten slaps, stars appeared in Lian Xin's eyes, her head turned dizzy, and she was on the verge of coma.
Pei Dongli knelt on the ground without saying a word to beg for mercy.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and coughed twice.
Pei Dongli, who had been there all the time, suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at Wen Qingzhu.
However, Wei Qinglin stood up and blocked Pei Dongli's view. He originally wanted to plead with Lian Xin.
Suddenly seeing Pei Dongli's eyes, he instantly changed his mind: "Concubine Pei, I know you feel sorry for Sister Lian Xin, but in this palace, not the Pei family, even if you don't tell me, I will still plead for Sister Lian Xin. "
Pei Dongli seemed to be trying to make a few excuses, but if she wasn't pleading for Lian Xin, how could she raise her head
But at this time, she could never plead for Lian Xin.
In the midst of a dilemma, Wei Qinglin had turned around to plead with the prince.
"Your Highness, Lian Xin is indeed at fault, but she must not be sent back to the Pei family, because once she comes to the palace, she is destined to never go back. Sending her back is tantamount to killing her, Prince For my sake, please spare Lian Xin for a while."
Jiang Yuanhan didn't want to be spared, a little palace maid dared to embarrass her sister!
But when Wei Qinglin spoke at this time, it must have been his sister's instruction.
So he nodded and raised his eyes to look at Pei Dongli: "For Linlin's sake, I will punish Lian Xin to shut up and think about it for half a month. If you don't distinguish between superior and inferior again in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Thank you, Prince, for your forgiveness!" Pei Dongli felt so bitter that she couldn't express it, but all she could do was say thank you.
But even Xin's troubles were due to her master's failure to discipline her.
Pei Dongli knelt down again and asked to resign: "I have not been strict with you. Now I no longer have the face to take charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace. Please take back your order, Prince!"
Wei Qinglin was startled and looked at Wen Qingzhu subconsciously. He had never expected Pei Dongli to have such a trick!
Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly. The meaning of Pei Dongli's resignation at this time was self-evident.
Since the prince is so protective of Wei Qinglin and Fu Jue is recovering from his injuries, the only person who can take over the internal affairs of the East Palace is Wei Qinglin.
According to the current situation, it is best for Wei Qinglin to take charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace.
But she doesn't have any status. Once she is really in charge, Pei Yu will immediately report it.
At present, except Pei Dongli, no one can legitimately manage the internal affairs of the East Palace.
She is resigning now and is waiting for the prince to speak and let her continue to be in charge of internal affairs.
In this way, the rest of the people will have nothing to say, and there will be no lack of dignity.
While hesitating, Nanny Zhang suddenly stood up and said, "The concubine is indeed very thoughtful. Even her words and deeds represent the concubine."
Hearing what Nanny Zhang said, Pei Dongli's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the inner room she was in charge of was really going to be taken back
But no one can take over!
Grandma Zhang is an old man who has experienced two dynasties. She has also encountered situations that are ten thousand times more difficult than this.
He immediately continued: "Now that Lian Xin's words and deeds are inappropriate, the concubine naturally has an unshirkable responsibility. It is good that the concubine can realize this. Since you took the initiative, let Fu Liangdi take charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace."
Pei Dongli was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but ask: "But Sister Fu is seriously injured and recovering from illness. Can she take care of the internal affairs of the East Palace?"
The smile on Nanny Zhang's face became more and more obvious. What she was waiting for was this sentence: "Concubine, don't worry, Fu Liangdi treats Miss Wei as a sister, and the relationship between Miss Wei and the prince is self-evident. This internal affairs position, Under the name of Fu Liangdi, the slaves will also return to Liangdi Palace, and with Miss Wei assisting me, there will naturally be no problem."
Pei Dongli tightened her hands under her sleeves. Was she really lucky before
No longer caring about Pei Dongli, Nanny Zhang turned back and asked Jiang Yuanhan for instructions: "When the Crown Princess moves in in the future, I will hand over the internal affairs. What does the Crown Prince want?"
"Of course it's good." Jiang Yuanhan agreed immediately.
He had never found an excuse to take back the power of internal affairs management before, but now that Pei Dongli gave it away by himself, he wanted it.
The matter was quickly concluded, and Pei Dongli left with Lian Xin.
Jiang Yuanhan quickly dismissed the crowd and ran to Wen Qingzhu to claim credit: "Sister, did I do the right thing?"
"Well, that's right." Wen Qingzhu praised him, but turned his eyes to look at Nanny Zhang.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
In the next two days, under the leadership of Wen Qingzhu and Nanny Zhang, all the people in the East Palace were changed.
The people in the palace who had problems also became more depressed one after another.
In the afternoon of this day, Wei Qinglin was sitting at the table, holding a pen in his hand and listening to the instructions with a troubled face.
"Miss, this matter was handled incorrectly. Although you are nominally in charge of the East Palace, except for the Qianyuan Palace, the affairs of the entire harem are under your control. Therefore, according to the regulations, it is better to directly assign him to the Leng Palace."
After finishing speaking with a straight face, Nanny Zhang raised her finger and pointed at the account book on the table: "Miss, hurry up and review it."
There were footsteps at the door, and Wen Qingzhu opened the curtain and came in.
As if seeing a savior, Wei Qinglin quickly got up and ran over: "Sister! You are here, Grandma Zhang asked me to handle the entire harem affairs!"
"What's wrong?" Wen Qingzhu looked at her with a puzzled look on his face, and pulled Wei Qinglin to sit down at the table, "I ordered grandma to do this. You have to do the whole thing for a show."
Wei Qinglin opened his mouth, but didn't say a word for a long time.
She had no choice but to go back and sit down, holding her head in her hands, staring blankly at the folding paper in front of her.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but remind her: "Hurry up and finish it. Mingxuan is coming to the East Palace to see the prince this afternoon."
"Really?" Wei Qinglin stood up immediately, his eyes shining.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, and Wei Qinglin immediately sat down and began to read carefully.
Seeing that she finally had the motivation, Wen Qingzhu turned to Nanny Zhang and said, "Can Nanny go with me to have a conversation outside?"
"Girl, there's no need to be polite, just give her orders." Aunt Zhang knew her identity and had always been very respectful to her.
When they arrived outside, Wen Qingzhu invited Nanny Zhang to sit down.
She went straight to the point: "Since Pei Dongli has gained more power, Prime Minister Pei has been able to make plans as fast as the crown prince. I want to ask you something."
"Girl, please tell me."
"If His Majesty wakes up, what will he do to Concubine Luo?"
Nanny Zhang's eyes darkened, and she thought for a while before asking: "Can the girl really make His Majesty wake up?"
Wen Qingzhu looked down at the celadon cup at his hand, and said in a somewhat deep tone, "Yes, but when he woke up, that was when he really died."
No sound was heard in the room for a while, then Nanny Zhang stood up and said with certainty: "I'm afraid that Concubine Luo will be buried."
"Even grandma said so. It seems that I can't have any expectations for Huang Zhen." Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked out the door.
The sun was so bright that everyone in the palace put on summer clothes one after another.
Counting the days, it’s already May.
The news coming back from Dingyuan was okay, basically there were no major problems.
Each time the Xiongnu launched only a tentative small-scale attack and did not launch a large-scale attack.
There is another thing. The general of the country, Lu Chengen, made a deal and came to Beijing, willing to hand over his military power and return to Beijing to retire.
After lunch, Wen Qingzhu left the East Palace and went to Qianyuan Palace.
She and Luo Chan were the only two people in the house.
Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the bed, looking at the haggard Jiang Yue, without any waves in his heart.
After a long time, she asked Luo Chan: "How is Zhang Yao?"
Luo Chan raised her head and said angrily: "It's not bad, but Dr. Gan recommends not to get pregnant in the short term."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and moved his eyes from Luo Chan's face to her belly: "How is your health?"
"No, it's not good." Luo Chan's brows were full of gloom. She had been trying to nurse her back to health, but the effect was not very good.
"You should have met Fu Shiyi recently. What do you think?" Wen Qingzhu turned around and stopped.
Luo Chan's eyes were a little dodgey, but she still answered seriously: "He, he doesn't want to."
"I don't want to." Wen Qingzhu sighed softly and looked away.
Looking at Jiang Yue on the bed, he said to her: "Pei Yu knows that you have been secretly helping Fu Shiyi. If he wants to completely control Fu Shiyi, he must get rid of you and Zhang Yao. Speaking of Zhang Yao's previous incident, , I fell into their trap, so I decided to help you this time."
"Really?!" Luo Chan became excited.
Wen Qingzhu turned back to look at her and said solemnly: "The way to shut up Pei Yu quickly now is to wake up the emperor. But in this case, your future may not be guaranteed."
After hearing the last sentence, the joy on Luo Chan's face disappeared instantly, and her lips trembled slightly: "Madam, what does this mean?"
"It means that the emperor will let you be buried."
Luo Chan immediately took a step back, her face turned pale.
It's not that she hadn't thought about this possibility, but when it came to this moment, she couldn't help but become afraid.
Wen Qingzhu said nothing, went to the bedside, and began to check Jiang Yue's condition.
His body was in really bad shape, he was so thin that he lay like a corpse.
Only when you calm down and listen carefully can you find that he is still breathing.
Wen Qingzhu carefully checked Jiang Yue's throat and mouth. Since he often needed to inject medicine and was active most frequently, it didn't seem to be a big problem.
After the examination, she began to formulate a plan, and she was full of ideas.
When Wen Qingzhu turned around, Luo Chan seemed to have figured it out and regained his composure.
"Have you made your decision? Once the emperor gives the order, people like Pei Yu will definitely watch you the whole time and watch you die with their own eyes."
Luo Chan answered unusually calmly: "Well, in this situation, it is difficult to keep Zhang Yao. Since he can refuse me for Zhang Yao, he must really love Zhang Yao. Let the emperor wake up."
Wen Qingzhu nodded, stood up and said, "You should prepare here, probably tomorrow."
"Yes." Luo Chan personally sent her out.
Returning to the East Palace, Wen Qingzhu happened to meet Wen Mingxuan who was coming over.
