Hua Chun became a little interested, put his arms around Rui Er's shoulders, and said with a smile: "You have been in the palace for a long time, since you know something, you can follow the clues and look it up, right?"
Rui'er stared wide-eyed: "Master, what are you looking for? These are old accounts, and it won't do you any good to dig them out."
What I want is old accounts! Hua Chun smiled, and put the jade bracelet on her wrist along the way: "This will shock you, I will return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation later, can you tell me something I want to hear?"
Rui'er froze for a moment, touched the bracelet in her hand, with a hesitant expression. Hua Chun didn't force her too much, leaving her behind, and walked forward by herself.
Arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Rui'er seemed to have figured it out, knelt down in front of her and said, "Your Majesty, if you really want to investigate, this servant can help your Majesty find the maid who was next to that talented person back then."
"The maid is still alive?" Hua Chun raised an eyebrow.
"According to the rules, the personal maids are out of the palace, but the rough envoys will be reassigned to other palaces." Rui'er said: "As long as you put some money in, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will find it."
Nodding, Hua Chun got up and went to the cabinet to get twenty taels of silver, along with some jewelry, and handed them to her.
"Your maidservant will definitely live up to your empress's trust!" Rui'er was so moved, she never thought that she would become the confidant of this beloved empress so soon, and she still trusted her so much, then if this matter is done well, she will be here to raise her heart in the future The status of the temple should also be rising all the way.
Hua Chun watched her go out with a smile, then looked sideways at Qing Niao beside her and said, "Be careful."
"The servant understands."
Although there is no need to use people who are suspicious, but now she has no one to use, so she can only test the loyalty of this court lady.
Fortunately, Rui'er really lived up to her. She went out for a whole morning and brought her back when it was time for lunch.
"You avoid it first." Hua Chun pouted at the emperor sitting on the soft couch.
Yu Wenjie narrowed his eyes: "I have always asked others to avoid me, and there has never been a reason for others to avoid me."
"Okay, okay, I know you're awesome." Huachun pulled him up flatteringly: "But if you sit here, you won't dare to say anything, so please move your car and sit in the inner hall first." Go ha."
The emperor was extremely displeased, but he still obediently entered the inner hall.
Rui'er brought a skinny little maid to the outer hall and knelt down. Hua Chun tidied up her clothes and came out, asking very dignifiedly, "What's your name?"
The little maid said tremblingly: "Slave red moss."
It was the first time seeing Qingtai before, and this was the first time seeing Hongtai. Huachun nodded, and his tone softened a little: "Who did you serve before?"
"Returning to your mother, this servant used to be the rough envoy maid in Nie Cairen's palace. After Nie Cairen's death, she was assigned to the clothing bureau."
"Oh... I just entered the palace not long ago, so many things are unclear. How did Nie Cairen die?"
Hong Moss trembled, and her body trembled even more: "...he died of illness."
"Huh?" Hua Chun raised his eyebrows: "How did I hear that she was drowned?"
"Slaves...Slaves don't have a good memory, maybe they were drowned."
How can it be possible that the master I have served can't even remember the way of death? Hua Chun kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word, imitating the emperor's appearance and putting pressure on others to be silent.
Sweat protruded from the red moss on his forehead, and the fat palace dress was hanging on his body shaking and shaking, looking extremely pitiful.
"The Palace of Mental Cultivation also lacks a maid of honor." After a long time, Hua Chun said, "If you can tell me about the past, then I will ask you to come here from the Clothes Bureau, how about it?"
After kowtowing again and again, Hongtai's voice was full of tears: "I beg your mother to spare this servant, this servant really doesn't know anything!"
It's strange if you don't know, but you dare not say it. Hua Chun was very distressed, she was not very good at forcing confessions!
A corner of the curtain at the partition next to it was lifted. When she looked over, she saw the emperor frowning in disgust. He glanced at the court lady, waved to her, and signaled her to go over.
Glancing at the maid whose head was about to be buried in the ground, Hua Chun got up and walked to him: "What's the matter?"
"Stay for a while, if she still refuses to say anything, let her go."
Hua Chun stared: "The person I found with great difficulty, you let me go and pay me money?"
"pay."
Okay, just this one word is enough, Hua Chun nodded resignedly, since she can't do anything about it, she should listen to the emperor.
After three sticks of incense, Hongtai was in despair, when she heard the lady above smiling and saying: "You go."
Finally let her go! Hongtai was overjoyed, kowtowed her head three times quickly, shouted to thank the lady, and then staggered out.
The emperor came out of the inner hall and waved his hand at Huo Zichong, the latter understood and asked people to follow quietly.
"What do you want to do?" Hua Chun blinked curiously, and sat on his lap very naturally.
"I want to see if she can live." Yu Wenjie said indifferently: "If it is true that there is no ghost, then she should be safe when she goes back. If some secret is involved, her life is naturally in danger."
The Hall of Mental Cultivation is now the most eye-catching place in the harem. In order to encourage Concubine Hua's arrogance and arrogance, the emperor has decided to stay here for the next half month. There should be quite a few eyeliners placed here by the various palaces, who will spread the news of Concubine Hua's every move. Knowing that she was curious about Nie Cairen's death, there would always be people who couldn't sit still.
Hua Chun nodded, looked at him and asked, "Do you still remember Nie Cairen?"
The emperor shook his head: "Don't expect me to remember anyone, there are too many people in the harem."
Heart sank, Hua Chun glanced at him and nodded.
Responding belatedly, Yu Wenjie frowned and explained one more sentence: "I will still remember you."
"Thank you!" Hua Chunjia smiled and got up to pour tea.
As Concubine Xu said, the emperor loved too many people and did many things for them, but now he doesn't remember who. She has to cherish the present day well, otherwise, when a newcomer comes, she will be out of favor, and she won't even have any memories.
"Are you angry?" Looking at her back, the emperor asked in a muffled voice.
"No." Hua Chun said, "The concubine is just thirsty."
The emperor was silent, looked down at his fingers, and glanced at Eunuch Qin from the corner of his eyes.
Eunuch Qin is very helpless. He knows that the emperor is at a loss and will turn to him for help, but what can he say? Who told him to say those words in front of Concubine Hua? Be tactful among women, tactful, it's been so long, and he hasn't learned it at all, so he can't blame others for hurting someone!
After being glanced at more than a dozen times, Eunuch Qin was helpless, and he could only stand up with a smile and said, "Didn't the emperor say that he wants to appreciate the satin that the concubine concubine has just paid tribute to?"
"Yeah." Yu Wenjie nodded: "You just have someone bring it over."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Chun pouted, who taught me how to slap a sweet date? She doesn't eat this set!
However, if you have something to take, if you don’t take it, you don’t take it for nothing!
The emperor pursed his lips, looked at her expression quietly, and felt that nothing had changed, so he started to glance at Eunuch Qin again.
Wiping the cold sweat off his brow, Eunuch Qin said: "There is also the new gold-wrapped bird's head noodle made by Si Zhenfang, should I also bring it to the empress?"
"Yes." The emperor nodded.
"There is also the vase with green branches wrapped around the neck in the imperial study room. The servant thinks it matches the arrangement in the palace of the empress."
"Um."
Hua Chun noticed it, and as long as there was no change in her face, Eunuch Qin would always report the gift list.
