Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Zhang Minmin was trembling all over, and she raised her eyes timidly, looking at Ling Xueyu timidly. She never thought that she would meet such a fierce and tough woman here.

"Yes, yes, I have been pregnant for more than a month. If you don't believe me, then after ten months of pregnancy, when the child is born, I am willing to perform a blood test to prove that the child is indeed the emperor's blood. I beg the nobles to spare the lives of me and the baby in my belly."

Zhang Minmin cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and her sad look seemed to melt anyone's heart. Ling Xueyu narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Zhang Minmin who was kneeling on the ground at the moment, without saying another word. Anyway, she had already frightened people, and she had also questioned the Empress. If there were any mistakes in the future, it would not be traced back to the Empress. Ruyi looked around and carefully examined the layout of the room. Although it was in the cold palace, the room had all the necessary items. It seemed that the Emperor still had some feelings for Zhang Minmin.

Ruyi waved her hand casually, as if to drive away annoying flies. The servants around her seemed to be frozen in place. After receiving the signal from their master, no one dared to step forward.

"Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs has transferred you here to serve Zhang, from now on, you must serve her wholeheartedly in this palace. After the emperor has dealt with those busy court affairs, he will carefully consider how to properly place you."

As soon as Ruyi finished speaking, she turned around and left just as she came, without any hesitation, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Minmin was watching Ruyi, who had just arrived and was about to leave, and she was extremely anxious. She subconsciously wanted to step forward and catch up with her, but when she noticed that Ling Xueyu suddenly turned around and stared at her with sharp and cold eyes, a feeling of fear arose, and she stopped involuntarily.

However, Zhang Minmin was unwilling to live in this desolate and cold palace. Since she entered the palace, she has never been able to see the emperor. When she first entered the palace, she had already made up her mind that as long as she could see Silang, the man she had been thinking about, she firmly believed that she would have the opportunity to stay in the harem. Maybe if she was lucky, she could be canonized as a concubine or a concubine! After all, such an identity is much more respectable than her past experience as a prostitute.

"My queen, please have mercy on me and take me away from this terrible place! Every night, I hear waves of creepy ghosts and wolves howling outside, which scare me so much that I can't sleep at night! My queen is kind-hearted. If you can let me stay by your side as a humble maid, it will be a blessing for me in several lifetimes! I beg my queen to show mercy and give me a chance to survive!"

Before Ruyi turned around, she heard the sound of continuous kowtows coming from behind her. When she turned around, she saw that Zhang Minmin's forehead, which was originally as white as snow, was now covered in blood, which was a shocking sight.

Ruyi could not help but frown, and her eyes fell on the maids who were watching coldly behind Zhang Minmin, and she scolded them harshly:

"What are you servants for? My mistress is pregnant and you are just watching from the sidelines. Do you want to implicate me for not managing the harem properly? Suo Xin, throw all these people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs out, and ask Li Quan to find me some smart servants to serve Zhang. If they don't do a good job, someone else wants to take over the position of the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

After saying that, Ruyi turned around and left with Ling Xueyu, not wanting to say anything more to Zhang Minmin.

After all, she was just a woman from a brothel, and the strategies she came up with were not up to par.

She keeps saying that she wants to serve me, but I'm not a saint. Why should I let Zhang Minmin, a person of unknown origin, enter my Changchun Palace? She probably wants to use my Changchun Palace as a stepping stone to meet the emperor.

Ling Xueyu was thinking quietly on the side. When she arrived at Changchun Palace, Gao Xiyue and Hai Lan, who had heard the news a long time ago, were already waiting in the room.

"Sister Queen, Xueyu, Hailan and I heard that there is a woman from outside the palace, and she is said to be pregnant with the emperor's child. Sister Queen, please don't be angry. If you want to do something, Xiyue will definitely stand with you."

Ling Xueyu approached Ruyi cautiously and said in a voice that only the four of them could hear:

"Empress, Concubine, I always feel that there may be some forces behind that woman helping her. Otherwise, a weak woman like her would dare to go to the palace gate and shout that she wants to see the emperor in public, without fear of being hacked to death on the spot. I always feel that we should stay away from Zhang in the future, and wait until we find out the forces behind her, and then decide how to deal with her in the future."

Ruyi listened to Ling Xueyu's analysis and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. She was worthy of being selected by her aunt and sent to her. Her mind worked faster than others.

Ruyi also thought so, so before the emperor made a clear statement, she let the people from the Imperial Household Department take full charge of Zhang. The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department is the emperor's man, so even if something goes wrong in the future, it will have nothing to do with her.

Gao Xiyue rolled her eyes and said stealthily

"When I passed by the Yangxin Palace this morning to visit Jingfu, I heard the emperor was in a rage inside the palace. He also punished Li Yu to kneel at the door, saying that he hadn't picked up anyone. The emperor wouldn't really have gotten into some romantic debt outside. Zhang came from a place of brothels, and now the news has spread all over the palace. Could it be that the emperor wants us noble ladies to be sisters with a prostitute in the future?!"

Gao Xiyue became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her disgust for the emperor reached an even higher level than before.

Hailan on the side replied calmly

"Sister Xiyue, don't think about it. I think the emperor has already taken Zhang into the palace and sent her to the cold palace. I think the emperor will have the final say on any future arrangements. After all, it's not difficult to just give Zhang an identity. What we should pay attention to is not to cause trouble for our sister during this period. Zhang came to the capital alone. I'm afraid she is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals."

……

Ruyi was originally telling her sisters about the scene when she just saw Zhang, when the emperor had already asked Li Yu to come and call her over.

As soon as Li Yu walked over, Ruyi smelled a strong smell of blood. Although Li Yu had changed his clothes, there was a lot of blood visible on his knees.

"Li Yu, did the emperor punish you? What's going on?"

Li Yu was about to kneel down to Ruyi in a hurry, but was pulled back by Sanbao who got Ruyi's signal.

Ruyi looked at Li Yudao, whose face was extremely pale, with dissatisfaction.

"Why are you kneeling? Your knee is injured. I'll ask Lianxin to get you some medicine later. Take it home and rub it well."

Li Yu had a bitter look on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, and his voice was filled with deep fatigue:

"Empress, all this is my fault! When the Emperor was in Jiangnan, he ordered me to sort out the letters submitted by local officials. Every time he went out, the Emperor would take a few guards with him. Originally, the Emperor planned to let Jinzhong pass a message to me, asking me to bring Zhang back from Jiangnan. But who knew that Jinzhong might want to please the Emperor, and actually took all the things on himself. As a result, the people sent missed Zhang and failed to pick her up. The Emperor was very annoyed because the matter of bringing Zhang back to the palace caused a lot of uproar in the city, so he severely punished me and Jinzhong. But I was lucky. I was only punished to kneel for a while, and I didn't suffer much. The Empress has always placed high hopes on me, but this time I failed to bring back the news as the Empress wished. It was really my negligence."

The more he spoke, the more guilty he felt. He lowered his head lower and lower, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. The queen looked at Li Yu, who was loyal and self-blaming.

She sighed softly and said earnestly:

"This matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. Jinzhong acted on his own initiative, which led to such a disaster. You all work for the emperor, so it is inevitable that you will make mistakes. You still need to be more cautious in the future and don't make the same mistake again."

Li Yu was filled with gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Queen, for your generosity. I will keep it in mind and will be more careful in the future. I will never let you down again!"
