Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

She Shuxian brought the little eunuch back to Chengqian Palace.

The little eunuch thought that the queen was kind, and would not be harsh even if she made a mistake, but she didn't expect that she didn't read the almanac when she went out, and she actually committed a crime in the hands of the concubine Xian. Tripped over the threshold and ate shit!

Seeing this, Rong Wan directly grabbed her ear and dragged her to the master, saying: "Your Majesty, this slave is paralyzed from fright."

"If it's just an ordinary negligence at work, why be so scared that you can't even walk!"

She Shuxian glanced at the eunuch and said, "Say it! Who ordered you to do it!"

"The slave doesn't know! The slave doesn't know anything!"

The little eunuch repeatedly shouted for grievances.

She Shuxian smiled and said, "Since you don't know anything, why are you so scared! Why don't you dare to look directly at me!"

"...slave...slave..."

The little eunuch hesitated and defended.

She Shuxian suddenly smelled a foul smell, and when she took a closer look, it was the little eunuch who peed in fright.

She Shuxian frowned, and said to Rong Wan: "Take him to the darkroom, and be sure to find out who is behind the scenes!"

"Whoo."

Rong Wan ordered the strong and healthy eunuch to drag the criminal eunuch into the darkroom of Chengqian Palace and interrogate him severely.

She Shuxian glanced at the concubine Jia who had heard the news and came to see the excitement, and said, "Do you think my palace's methods are vicious?"

"No, not at all!"

After these days, the concubine Jia has already been subdued by She Shuxian, and she dare not have the slightest idea.

She Shuxian took the tea, explained while drinking, "It's not that this palace is vicious, but the queen mother ordered this palace to assist the queen in handling the affairs of the six palaces. Such a mistake has occurred in the House of Internal Affairs. After careful investigation, this palace cannot escape the crime of negligence." That's why we have to send this little eunuch to the dark room for strict interrogation, to find out the vicious person who murdered the empress!"

"The concubine Xian is very discerning and loyal to the empress. The concubines have the utmost admiration for the empress."

Concubine Jia carefully curry favor with She Shuxian.

She Shuxian put down the ginseng tea and said: "Save the flattery for another time. You will go to Yonghe Palace and ask Concubine Yu whether there is a shortage or entrainment of the winter charcoal sent to her?"

"My concubine understands, my concubine will do it right away."

The concubine stepped aside.

She Shuxian waited in the main hall for half an hour, Rong Wan finally pried open the little eunuch's mouth, and got the confession.

She told She Shuxian: "Master, this servant has already asked clearly. Although the little rabbit didn't know anything about bats, he provided another piece of information. Eunuch Sun is in charge of all the winter charcoal sent to the masters of the palaces. And this eunuch Sun has a close relationship with Miss Yuhu from Zhongcui Palace. The purse he put under the pillow was sewn by Yuhu himself."

"Zhongcui Palace... Jade Pot... Purse..."

She Shuxian sneered and said, "Concubine Chun is really good at calculating."

"Your Majesty," Rong Wan showed a puzzled expression, "I don't know anything about this slave. The Pure Concubine Empress is always close to the Empress, so how could she do such a nasty thing as letting people put bats in the winter charcoal sent to Changchun Palace?"

As we all know, Empress Fucha is benevolent, even if she finds bats in the winter charcoal, she will not hold her slaves accountable.With this method, apart from finding trouble for the queen, no one can be burned.

"Maybe she really wants the queen to..."

She Shuxian sighed, and said: "After all, people's hearts are fickle, and women's hearts are even more fickle."

"That's too scary."

Rong Wan felt a cold sweat on her back.

She Shuxian said: "Even if I ordered a search of Eunuch Sun's room and found the purse that Yuhu gave him, as long as Eunuch Sun insisted on not saying anything, at most I would deal with Yuhu in the name of not abiding by the palace rules. Fall, Concubine Chun is still standing."

"Then how does the empress plan to deal with this matter? Could it be that the concubine Chun is going to make trouble?"

She Shuxian glanced at the courtyard where the autumn wind was blowing, and said: "She doesn't move, I don't move. If she moves me, I will strike later!"

……

……

Hearing that the little eunuch who went to Chuxiu Palace to deliver winter charcoal was beaten twenty times, Concubine Chun couldn't help but feel happy, and said: "The imperial concubine is really angry."

"What do you think the imperial concubine will do next?" Yuhu asked.

Concubine Chun said: "With the concubine's temper, how can she bear it! At most three days, we will see the outcome in Shoukang Palace!"

"Then what if the noble concubine holds back?"

Yuhu reminded: "The servant thought that according to the temperament of the noble concubine in the past, this little eunuch would be killed by the rod ninety-nine out of ten. This time, he was only punished by the rod for twenty. It seems a little... a little..."

"Too light, isn't it?"

Yuhu said: "The slave suspects that there is something else wrong with it."

"There may be something strange, it's nothing more than the empress finally woke up, the imperial concubine was worried that killing the little eunuch would cause displeasure to the empress, and even the emperor felt that the imperial concubine bullied his empress, so she was acting for the empress!"

Concubine Chun smiled coldly, and said: "She wants to play, and I want to tear off her painted skin!"

"Maybe the empress has already made up her mind?"

Yuhu looked at Concubine Chun expectantly.

Concubine Chun smiled without saying a word.

……

The queen has recovered from her serious illness, and the concubines resumed their daily visits to the Changchun Palace to pay their respects.

On this day, Concubine Chun came to the Changchun Palace, saw that Concubine Xian had arrived, stepped forward with a smile, and said, "Sister Concubine Xian, something not too big or small happened in Chuxiu Palace yesterday, did you hear?"

"What's the matter?" She Shuxian pretended to be confused, and looked at Concubine Chun with a smile.

Concubine Chun said: "The eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to the Chuxiu Palace to deliver winter charcoal. I don't know where he made the concubine unhappy, but he was punished twenty times. The queen recovered from a serious illness and was just in need of rest. The concubine actually punished the little eunuch with a stick. , it is clearly..."

"What is it?" She Shuxian asked back.

Seeing her burning eyes, Concubine Chun couldn't help feeling guilty.

She Shuxian said: "Recently, people from the House of Internal Affairs have become more and more perfunctory in their work. They even dared to have dirty things in the winter charcoal sent to Changchun Palace. It is normal for Chuxiu Palace to punish the little eunuch for this."

"The winter charcoal sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Changchun Palace has unclean things mixed in! Which servant is so presumptuous! Is the empress okay?" Concubine Chun asked pretending to make a fuss.

She Shuxian said: "Of course the empress is fine. As for the little eunuch who has no eyesight, my sister has already handed him over to the Punishment Department."

"Sister also worked hard."

Concubine Chun had a ghost in her heart, so she stopped talking to She Shuxian after saying this sentence.

She Shuxian was also happy to get rid of this scheming bitch for the time being, and chatted with other concubines who came to Changchun Palace, and confirmed that apart from Changchun Palace and Chuxiu Palace, there was no strange entrainment in the winter charcoal of the concubines.

Soon, the noble concubine arrived, and the gate of Changchun Palace opened, and the concubines entered in order of rank to greet the queen.

After the greetings, the concubines came to Shoukang Palace under the leadership of the queen to pay their respects to the queen mother.

The empress dowager felt sorry for the empress recovering from a serious illness, and asked her to get up quickly before she could bend over, followed by a short chatter from the parents.

Seeing that winter was approaching, the Empress Dowager specifically asked She Shuxian: "Is there any delay in deducting the winter items sent to the palaces by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent charcoal, skins, etc. for the winter to the various palaces one after another in the past few days. "

She Shuxian replied briskly, feeling more and more like a housekeeper.

The Empress Dowager nodded, brushing the enamel armor lightly across her fingers, and said, "I heard that the Chuxiu Palace punished the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday, is there such a thing?"

"It's true." Concubine Gao replied, "The eunuch did not do well and broke the famous chrysanthemum and green peony that the emperor bestowed on the concubine. When the concubine gets angry, I... just... ask the Queen Mother to punish me!"

"You have such a temper... Go back and copy a copy of the Heart Sutra, so that you can repent!"

The Queen Mother said very displeased.

She Shuxian and Concubine Chun, however, whispered to each other.

From Concubine Chun's previous words and deeds, She Shuxian had deduced that Concubine Chun had also tampered with the winter charcoal sent to Chuxiu Palace. She thought that Concubine Gao would take the opportunity to get angry, but she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to prevaricate the matter, and suddenly realized that there was something else going on. Strange.

Concubine Chun was even more astonished, she couldn't believe that the domineering concubine would take the initiative to turn minor matters into nothing.

But no matter what the truth is, the Empress Dowager has already punished the noble concubine, so the matter will be considered exposed. If the pure concubine takes the initiative to provoke again, she will be suspected of trying to cover it up, so she can only endure doubts and sit in the Shoukang Palace, trembling like walking on thin ice.

……

……

After the greetings from the Shoukang Palace were over, the Empress did not return to the Changchun Palace immediately. Accompanied by Mingyu and Yingluo, she went into the Garden of Compassion to visit the noble concubine Wen Hui who was admiring the flowers and feeding the fish.

She Shuxian waited for Concubine Chun to leave, then walked to Concubine Gao's side: "Your Majesty, this concubine has something I want to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

Concubine Gao stopped.

She Shuxian said: "Yesterday, my concubine went to Changchun Palace to visit the empress, and it happened that the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Changchun Palace to deliver winter charcoal."

"What does this matter have to do with the Palace?"

Concubine Gao forced herself to remain calm.

She Shuxian said: "It didn't matter originally, but the winter charcoal sent to Changchun Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually contained such unlucky things as dead bats. The concubine couldn't bear to disturb the queen, so she brought the eunuch back to Chengqian Palace for careful questioning." -"

"What did you ask?!"

Concubine Gao's voice was obviously excited.

She Shuxian said: "The eunuch was stubborn and didn't ask anything. The concubine could only send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reprimand the eunuch Sun who was in charge of this matter, and questioned whether the winter charcoal sent to other sisters was similar. .”

"Sister Concubine Xian has worked hard."

Concubine Gao's voice was indescribably weak.

She Shuxian said: "My concubine, I have talked so much with you, I just want to ask you to tell me that yesterday you blamed the eunuch for knocking over the green peony and chrysanthemum given by the emperor, or because..."

"Because of the green peony!"

Concubine Gao interrupted She Shuxian.

She Shuxian saw that she insisted that there was no entrainment in the charcoal, and she gradually understood in her heart. After sending Gao Guifei away, she said to Rong Wan: "The life of the imperial concubine is not easy."

"The slave is dull, I don't know what the empress means?" Rong Wan asked.

She Shuxian said slowly: "In the past, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were sentenced to drunkenness. Before they died, they cursed and said, 'I am a cat and you are a mouse, and I will choke their throats'. Concubine Xiao Shu is back."

The author has something to say:

Guifen is almost here...

Green peony: a traditional chrysanthemum variety with peony-shaped flowers, tight corolla, flat spherical shape, and flat petals. When it first blooms, the flower color is as green as jade and crystal clear. Recall the delicate appearance of peonies and peonies.There is also a green lotus, also called green peony.
