The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

The chief eunuch shuddered and said in horror: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, the concubine has to prepare for the marriage of the seventh princess recently. I won't bother the concubine with the matter of being in charge of the harem. I will be the queen in a few months, so you can take on the role concurrently."

The amount of information in these few sentences was quite huge. The eunuch in charge left the Hanzhang Palace still feeling dizzy.

Mrs. Qiao was in charge of the harem well, so why did she let him serve as a eunuch at the same time?

Moreover, the seventh princess is getting married, and Mrs. Qiao is in charge of the harem. Wouldn't it be more convenient to handle the dowry?

Could it be that the emperor also made Concubine Qiao angry because of the misbehavior of Concubine Qiao's maid?

The eunuch in charge shrank his neck because of the wind, and quickly rushed to the Shenxing Department with a lantern.

Early the next morning, Concubine Qiao found out that her personal maid had been imprisoned in the Sentence Department.

She and Aunt Wan were thinking about how to plead for mercy, save their eldest maid, and save their own face at the same time, when they heard the eunuch in charge asking for an audience.

The emperor must have come to explain to her. After all, she was an elder. If someone close to her was taken away by the emperor, the emperor would still show some mercy.

It seems that this face can be saved without her having to personally plead for mercy.

She smiled and asked the palace maid to serve tea to the chief eunuch, and asked kindly: "Why bother my father-in-law to go there in person so early in the morning?"

The chief eunuch took a symbolic sip of tea, and then spoke carefully and carefully considering his words.

"Taifei, Dongzhu beside you, clashed with the emperor last night. Your Majesty understands that you have to manage thousands of people in the harem recently and prepare a dowry for the seventh princess. I am worried that you are not energetic, and I am also afraid of tiring you, so I From now on, you can just concentrate on getting married to the Seventh Princess, and don’t worry about anything else."

Concubine Qiao heard something wrong in her words, and she asked: "There is not even a concubine in this harem. I don't care about it. Is it true that the emperor is in charge of it himself?"

"Someone still made the emperor happy and took away the power to control the harem."

She thought about it with her toes and knew that it must be Meng Wenyao who made the emperor happy. He was afraid that he would grant concubines and concubines, and even take away the power to manage the harem.

The angry Mrs. Qiao said eloquently: "Shameless hooves, even if it makes her sexy, I want to see how many days she can still dance around when the queen enters the palace."

The eunuch in charge, who originally wanted to explain a few words, listened to Mrs. Qiao's swear words like a shrew, and the corner of her mouth twitched for a long time, and then left with a blushing face.

Watching the head eunuch leave, Concubine Qiao remembered that she still had many things to ask.

"It's all because of Dongzhu's hoof. Fortunately, I usually think she's still good. But secretly, she's a bitch. I don't think I'll skin her myself when she comes back."

Just now we were discussing how to keep Dongzhu alive, but in the blink of an eye we were going to skin him. Aunt Wan listened with her heart pounding.

This Concubine Qiao has been cautious for half her life, and she has only been in power for a few days, but she is so arrogant with her words. Yu Wenjing suddenly became domineering before, and it seems that she has found the root of it.

She didn't want to listen to Concubine Qiao scolding her here, so she carefully suggested: "Why don't I go out and find out what happened last night and how the emperor handled it? If we don't find out, it's easy for us to make wild guesses here." Something went wrong.”

Apart from cursing, Mrs. Qiao could no longer think of how to deal with it. Ever since Yu Wenjing was grounded, she suddenly found that bad things were happening one after another. Now she no longer knew how to deal with the sudden changes.

"Go quickly, inquire carefully, and be sure to ask the emperor clearly what he thinks. At this juncture, we cannot offend the emperor again."

Aunt Wan sighed and walked out. She used all her contacts and spent money, but she found out nothing. She only heard that people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had pulled Dongzhu's body out.

She returned to Yutang Hall with weak legs and told Concubine Qiao everything she had learned. She said in horror: "Concubine, what crime did Dongzhu commit? Why did he remain silent?" were executed."

Mrs. Qiao never expected that the matter had become so serious. She thought it was Dongzhu who saw Yaoyao's unique favor and wanted to follow suit and seduce the emperor.

He was not taken seriously, and he was given a lesson by the Division of Punishment. Why did he die?

"Could it be that you failed to seduce the emperor and committed suicide in shame and anger?"

Aunt Wan shook her head numbly. There were a lot of people in the palace seducing the emperor. Even when the late emperor was here, this kind of thing happened often. No one had ever been imprisoned in the Shenxing Department for this, and it was unheard of to commit suicide in shame and anger.

"Empress, I am afraid that the one who knows the inside story now and can still tell us a word or two is the one."

"Yao Yao?" Concubine Qiao asked gloomily.

Aunt Wan nodded her head pecking at rice. Half an hour later, the master and servant saw Meng Wenyao in the side hall of Hanzhang Hall.

Meng Wenyao, who was pulled up from her sleep, was in a very anxious mood at this time. She looked at the anxious Mrs. Qiao impatiently.

"My dear concubine, the palace maid you have trained even dares to stop the emperor. This emperor is really worried about leaving the harem in your hands!"

"Besides, the queen will enter the palace in a few months. You will have to hand over the right to manage the harem sooner or later. There is no point in being anxious now."

"It's better to go back and prepare the dowry for the seventh princess. It's proper to give the seventh princess a grand wedding as soon as possible."

After being bombarded by Meng Wenyao, Concubine Qiao stabilized her shaky body and asked nicely: "Yao Yao, I'm not asking you about the affairs of the harem manager. I want to ask what happened to Dongzhu last night. What did you do?"

Meng Wenyao, who had just realized it, rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "Then Princess, please tell me. If you don't tell me, my explanation will be in vain for a long time."

Mrs. Qiao also wanted to roll her eyes, but she wanted to say it, but Meng Wenyao didn't give her a chance to ask, so she started talking loudly.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Concubine Qiao's smile did not diminish and she asked again: "What about Dongzhu, was she there last night?"

"Oh, the emperor wouldn't let me tell you who leaked it, and it clicked immediately."

"Even if you go to inquire about someone, if the emperor knows about it, he will never forgive him lightly."

While saying that, Meng Wenyao also made gestures on Nanny Wan's neck, which frightened Nanny Wan and almost paralyzed her on the ground.

Concubine Qiao's face turned pale. She quickly took a box from Nanny Wan and pushed it to Meng Wenyao.

"This is my savings for many years, Yaoyao. I'm pretty good to you. Just tell me the truth. What did Dongzhu do?"

Opening the box, Meng Wenyao looked at the red and white things inside, and her anxious mood instantly calmed down.

She immediately put on a caring expression, as if she were one of her own, and said: "Tiffany, don't blame me for talking about you, you are really not good at disciplining people. Your daughter is being disciplined so badly, this The palace people still regard the law as nothing, and the emperor still cares about the concubine's face. If he doesn't make this matter a big deal, the concubine will stop asking, and this matter will be over."
