After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

After leaving the Clothing Bureau last time, Miss Chu was worried and asked herself to investigate.

The results came back yesterday. On the surface, Zhang Changxi seemed conscientious and kind to others, but after careful investigation, it was discovered that he had been secretly abusing the maid of the Huanyi Bureau.

Especially those who have entered the palace not long ago and have no one to rely on, so they are all subject to his training.

As for the other people in the Huanyi Bureau, some were afraid of Zhang Changxi's majesty and did not dare to interfere, while others, perhaps because they had their consciences wiped out in the palace, even helped him conceal and supervise the maids.

After the news came back, he originally thought that Miss Chu would immediately ask His Highness the Crown Prince to punish Zhang Changxi. However, he did not expect that Miss Chu did not want His Highness to come forward. Instead, he asked himself to send people to do it secretly, so that the people who were responsible for delivering clothes to various palaces Some of the maids were feeling unwell, and they secretly tried to push the maid who wanted to complain that day into the palace to give her clothes.

Such twists and turns are obviously more troublesome than punishing Zhang Changxi directly.

Facing Qin Li's question, Chu Huanyan shook her head lightly.

"I don't have to rely on the Queen's hand, but what Pan'er said just now is right. People can't wait for God to bless them all the time."

Chu Huanyan paused slightly and watched Qin Li continue to speak.

"In this matter, Zhang Changxi has done many evil things, so naturally we cannot let him go. But if none of the persecuted maids in the Huanyi Bureau can be brave enough to take the initiative to expose Zhang Changxi, they may not meet again if Zhang Changxi is gone. To the second, to the third.”

"Miss, do you want them to understand that they have to do something on their own to get out of trouble?" Xian Yue said.

Chu Huanyan looked far away, looking at the surrounding palace roads and high walls, "After this time, I may not be sure what will happen to others, but Pan'er can at least gain more confidence and courage."

The palace is as deep as the abyss, and life is like grass and grass, but the most important thing for people is to save themselves.

"But in this case, the maids from the Clothing Bureau may not be grateful to you, Miss Chu." Qin Li couldn't help but speak.

Even though they secretly put their efforts into it, the palace maids knew nothing about it.

"I don't need their gratitude." Chu Huanyan said calmly.

She didn't want to be a savior. To her, the clothes bureau issue was just an accident that happened by chance. She could just solve it without getting too involved.

After gathering her thoughts, Chu Huanyan said nothing more and left the palace not long after.

That night, she received the news from Qin Li.

Taoyao took people to the Huanyi Bureau and captured Zhang Changxi on the spot. Pan'er was the first to stand up and testify. Under her leadership, many maids who had been persecuted by Zhang Changxi took the initiative to stand up.

Zhang Changxi was arrested, and the maids in the Huanyi Bureau who helped the emperor were also punished.

Although Zhang Changxi took human lives, after all, he only had the confessions of others. Zhang Changxi refused to admit it, so there was no way to directly sentence him to death immediately. But just when Taoyao and others left the Huanyi Bureau, Paner said something.

It is said that when Zhang Changxi was proud, he compared himself to an emperor and said that the Huanyi Bureau was his dynasty, and the maids in the Huanyi Bureau were his three palaces and six courtyards.

For a eunuch to compare himself to an emperor, one can imagine the degree of treason in such words, and there was no need to verify the statement. When Empress Wei found out, she was furious and directly gave Zhang Changxi a stick to kill in public.

When Xianyue heard this, she lamented that it was fortunate that Zhang Changxi could get retribution so quickly because of his arrogant words.

Chu Huanyan didn't say much. After hearing the news, she asked someone to prepare hot water for a bath and no longer cared about it.

Since the Huanyi Bureau is involved, the matter between Qiuyuan and Qinfang cannot be kept secret. For her, meeting Empress Wei tomorrow is the most important thing.

However, if one thought is good, many things will have their own cause and effect.

……

When Chu Huanyan entered the palace on the second day, as she expected, she was immediately invited to Fengyi Hall.

"Miss Chu's good skills are actually used against me." Queen Wei sat on the main seat, pinching the lid of the cup with her pink nails, skimming the foam on the tea.

There was no longer any pretense of weakness and gentleness in a pair of eyes, and there was a gloomy look in them.

Chu Huanyan saluted calmly, "I don't understand what the Queen means."

Queen Wei snorted coldly, "Miss Chu is a smart person, why bother pretending in this situation? Tell me what you want to do."

After the incident at the Huanyi Bureau ended yesterday, she found out that Chu Huanyan had not gone to Zhaoxia Palace at all.

Or, the other party changed his mind midway and no longer wanted to uphold justice for those palace ladies.

Either...

She guessed that she was secretly sending someone to keep an eye on her, and she also guessed that she would take action first, so she knew that there was no need to make that trip!

Coupled with the news about Huanyi Bureau Qiuyuan, now that I think about it, Chu Huanyan's purpose is indeed not simple.

"My daughter just wanted to find out about Concubine Xue. As for the rest, it was all accidental." Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked directly at Queen Wei, and spoke calmly.

"The investigation led to Qiuyuan, and also involved the old nuns in the palace. Does Miss Chu really think that I am so easy to fool?" Empress Wei said with a cold tone, "What is the purpose? Why don't you tell the truth quickly!"

"My servant asked about Aunt Qinfang. It was indeed because of the friendship between her and the dry well that she saved her. She suddenly remembered it and missed her, so she wanted to find her old friend." Chu Huanyan paused slightly, "It's just that I didn't expect Qinfang. Grandma has already gone, I wonder why the empress cares so much about this?"

Chu Huanyan's tone was as usual, showing slight doubts, and she was very well-measured. The look she looked at Queen Wei also showed appropriate confusion, which really made it impossible to see any flaws.

"Is this really the case?" Queen Wei looked hesitant.

Chu Huanyan nodded seriously, "Yes, I am bold. Is it possible that there is something special about Aunt Qinfang that I can't inquire about?"

"It's just an old nun in the palace, what's so special about it?" Queen Wei said without thinking.

"But judging by the look on my face, I seem to know Aunt Qinfang quite well." Chu Huanyan said in a tentative tone.

Empress Wei glanced at her faintly, "After all, I have assisted two former emperors, so it is not strange for me to remember it. What's more, she was so bold that she broke into forbidden areas privately. If she hadn't died of illness not long after, I'm afraid she would really be held accountable. , and you can’t save your life.”

"Forbidden land?" Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows.

Queen Wei's brows quickly darkened, and then she said in a deep voice: "Miss Chu, please don't say anything about things that you shouldn't inquire about."

"Yes, I understand." Chu Huanyan lowered her eyes and responded.

Empress Wei hit Chu Huanyan a few more times, but the other party only responded lukewarmly, as if she had punched cotton.

Seeing this, Queen Wei finally waved her hand and told Chu Huanyan to leave.

After Chu Huanyan left, Taoyao walked up to Queen Wei.

"My dear, do you believe what Miss Chu said?"

"Of course I don't believe a word of it." Queen Wei smiled coldly.

Such nonsense as repaying a favor was just used to deceive the old maids in Qiuyuan. Chu Huanyan actually used it to fool her. It was really ridiculous!

"Then why didn't you expose Miss Chu directly?" Tao Yao was puzzled. "If it can be proved that she had other motives for entering the palace to investigate the case, maybe she can be kicked out of the palace. Then this matter..."

"Even if Chu Huanyan is driven away, it may not be possible for someone else to investigate the matter. Looking at the emperor's current attitude towards Qingzhi, he must find out everything, unless..."

Queen Wei paused and did not continue to say the next words, but just spoke silently in her heart.

Unless there is something more important to divert the emperor's attention.

I have already given clues just now, I hope Chu Huanyan will not disappoint her!
