Traveling through books: trapped in an infinite cycle of injustice

The next day, Aunt Zhang and Yan Muyi came to the palace of Concubine Jin with their colorful clothes.

The moment Yan Muyi stepped into Qinglin Hall, she felt as if a lifetime had passed. This familiar yet unfamiliar place came to me again after almost a year in the palace.

When the maids and attendants in Qinglin Hall saw Yan Muyi and Aunt Zhang, they all whispered to the side.

"Look, that's Yan Muyi."

"The woman who spread rumors with the young master."

"Looking at her like that, she doesn't look good. I thought she looked like a fairy, but it's just me."

"Yes, how can she be compatible with the young master?"

Yan Muyi looked at these old friends who were both familiar and unfamiliar, and saw them looking at him with hostile eyes, feeling sad.

These were all close friends from the past, but she was the only one who remembered those memories, but she didn't dare to go and recognize them. And the person they are talking about now is themselves.

Because of Wei Yunchen, she really has countless enemies in this palace.

Following the steward's lead, Aunt Zhang and Yan Muyi finally arrived at Concubine Jin's inner palace.

"My slave, I pay my respects to Concubine Jin. She is a thousand years old."

Yan Muyi also followed Aunt Zhang in kneeling down.

"Get up and take a look at the gold silk feather coat given by the Garment Bureau."

Yan Muyi lowered his head, handed the shelf holding the colorful clothes into the hands of his personal maid Linglong, and then returned to Aunt Zhang's side.

Concubine Jin looked at Yan Muyi carefully to see what the person her brother liked looked like. Although she is not a beautiful woman, she has a cool and resolute temperament.

As Concubine Jin looked at Yan Muyi, she couldn't help but smile lightly with satisfaction on her lips.

"Your name?"

Aunt Zhang touched Yan Muyi next to her and signaled her to answer.

"My name is Yan Muyi."

"Oh!? Did you sew this dress yourself?"

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and nodded.

"What is the name of this golden feather coat?"

"Jin Fei, this golden feathered coat, this servant dared to name her Liuli Nishang."

"What a good name. I never thought that the people in the Garment Bureau not only know how to make clothes, but also have such literary talent. Then let me see if Liuli Nishang is as good as the name."

Concubine Jin ordered someone to stretch out her clothes. The moment she saw the clothes. Everyone seemed to be fascinated by it, and no one did not think it was extremely beautiful.

"I have never seen such beautiful colorful clothes. Qing'er, Linglong, please follow me into the side hall to change my clothes."

When Qing'er and Linglong heard Concubine Jin's call, they calmed down, picked up their clothes, and followed her into the side hall, where they served Concubine Jin and put on her glazed clothes.

In less than a moment, Concubine Jin changed her clothes and slowly walked out of the side hall. Sure enough, people depend on their clothes. The moment she came out, Concubine Jin was like a fairy descending to earth, fresh, beautiful and with her own fairy spirit.

Concubine Jin liked the clothes very much. She walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard. As the sun shone, the golden feathers on the clothes shone with colorful spots.

Everyone was as graceful as a dragon, and Concubine Jin was like a colorful fairy flying in the air at this moment, which is not something that ordinary people like you can compare with.

Concubine Jin and everyone returned to the main hall. She was very satisfied with the glazed dress and spoke.

"Yan Muyi, this glazed dress you made is worthy of the name, and I like it very much. I will reward you with whatever rewards you want."

"Aunt Zhang, this is a very appropriate birthday gift from the Garment Bureau. Later you will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect 100 taels of silver dollars. This palace specially awarded it to the Garment Bureau."

Aunt Zhang pulled Yan Muyi, who was still standing there in a daze, and quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

Yan Mu calmed down and mustered up his courage.

"This slave dares to ask Concubine Jin for a favor by not killing me."

When Concubine Jin heard Yan Muyi's words, her expression immediately changed from joyful to solemn. Everyone looked confused. Only Aunt Zhang next to her trembled like chaff after hearing Yan Muyi's words.

"How can you say that?"

"This glazed dress is not made of the gold feather thread given by the emperor, but the gold feather thread that the slaves forged and imitated. The real gold feather threads were subcontracted during the production due to the slave's negligence. . In order not to bring trouble to the Garment Bureau, I risked the crime of deceiving the emperor by counterfeiting the gold feather thread given by the emperor, which has been hidden from the eyes and ears of the empress. The empress, I beg you to let the garment factory survive. I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. , I will definitely die to apologize."

There was no trace of joy or anger in Concubine Jin's solemn expression. The maids were all surprised and admired Yan Muyi for having such courage.

After Yan Mu finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what the effect of such a desperate chess strategy would be. But at this moment, we can only take dangerous measures, betting that Concubine Jin will find out the truth.

Concubine Jin was silent for a long time. Here, Aunt Zhang was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise her head, and her clothes were wet with cold sweat.

Just when Aunt Zhang and Yan Mu were trembling with fear, Concubine Jin finally opened her mouth slowly.

"Get up, I won't embarrass the Garment Bureau, and I will force you to die. Yan Muyi, you could have concealed the truth without revealing the truth. But you actually have the extraordinary courage to tell the truth."

At this time, Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and Yan Muyi also made the right bet.

Aunt Zhang kowtowed as if pounding garlic, her voice trembling due to excessive nervousness.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Jin, for your kindness in not killing me. Your Majesty is so compassionate that the Bodhisattva descended to earth."

Concubine Jin didn't want to watch Aunt Zhang kowtow and get up to apologize, then turned to look at Yan Muyi.

"You should explain this matter in detail. Stealing the golden feather thread given by the emperor is a capital crime, and I must punish him severely."

Yan Mu told the whole story about making clothes. Afterwards, Concubine Jin called the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs over.

The steward was called to Qinglin Hall without knowing what was going on. When he saw Aunt Zhang and Yan Muyi, they must have caused trouble for him again.

"Mr. Li, do you know about such a big event as the imperial gift of gold silk feather thread being lost in the palace?"

The manager was frightened by Concubine Jin's abrupt words. Little did she know that Aunt Zhang and Yan Muyi had caused such a huge disaster for her. He tilted his head and squinted at the two of them, wondering what was going on now.

Concubine Jin coughed lightly when she saw Manager Li winking at the two of them.

"You don't need to look at Aunt Zhang and Yan Muyi. I have forgiven them both of their crimes. You are completely unaware of such a major matter. It seems that you will no longer be able to retain your position as the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau."

When the steward heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Concubine Jin to beg for mercy.

"Now I order you to find out the thief and punish me severely. If you let me know that you have engaged in malpractice for personal gain, then you and the thief can go to the emperor to apologize for the death penalty."

The steward was now frightened out of his wits and shaking like chaff.

"Manager Li, if you heard this, why don't you hurry up and do it?"

The steward finally came to his senses and after thanking Concubine Jin, the old man who was over sixty years old was able to walk as fast as flying and disappeared in the Qinglin Hall in an instant.
