There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

"Master, Your Majesty!" Liu Zhi, who had been silent at the side, had red eyes at this moment, knelt on the ground and hugged the queen's calf and said tremblingly, "I don't want to marry, I want to stay with my master in the palace for the rest of my life!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The queen shook her head, "What's the use of being a slave in this palace for the rest of your life, and having to kowtow to say hello to a master? This palace will definitely find you a good family. I will marry you off in a glorious manner, so that you will be the master of the house in the future, be served by servants, and have a son and two daughters to live comfortably!"

"My lord, my servant is willing to comb her hair and stay in the palace, please don't send this servant out of the palace!" Liu Zhi blushed with grievance.

Guizhi at the side hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Master, Liuzhi's reluctance to marry probably has something to do with her family."

The queen sat up straight all of a sudden, staring sharply at Liu Zhi's face: "Here, what happened?"

Liu Zhi opened and closed his lips, unable to utter a single word.

Gui Zhi hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Master, Liu Zhi's family has been arrested!"

"...Is it a case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" The queen's complexion sank, and she stared at Liu Zhi seriously. If Liu Zhi came forward to intercede, it was related to the affairs of the previous court, and the queen would never tolerate it!

Liu Zhi's eyes were gloomy: "Master, you don't need to worry about it, servant girl, servant girl, I just don't want to leave the palace."

The queen stared at her, and after a while, her gaze shifted to the face of Guizhi who was pouting: "Guizhi, tell me."

"Master! You want to be the master for Liu Zhi!" Gui Zhi looked aggrieved, "Master, you still don't know that since the emperor's investigation of the three banners in the House of Internal Affairs, there have been so many corrupt, bribe-taking, and bullying people. Living in the palace of the royal family, the rich and powerful people were also frightened! Including our Niu Gulu mansion, we are also checking our servants. those people……"

"Sister Guizhi!" Liu Zhi's eyes turned red, and he choked up and shouted.If it wasn't for the trouble this time, she would never have imagined that the family would be so daring after she became the queen's confidant by relying on the fact that the master and empress are now the queen.

Corruption and bribery, bullying, exploiting villagers, and secretly killing many people with high profits!Pushed all the crimes on Niu Colu's mansion, and was even caught. For his own sake, Niu Colu's mansion only arrested the main criminal, and the rest confiscated the stolen money, and rushed to Zhuangzi in the suburbs After going to life, they actually still have the face to come to me to beg for mercy!

He even said that he has found a good family for himself, as long as Liu Zhi remembers to ask the queen to ask for some property as a dowry!

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi couldn't control his sobs anymore and cried out: "The slaves know that the crimes of the family are unforgivable, and they don't dare the master to let them live. They just ask the master to keep the servants for the sake of serving them for many years. The servants are serving in the palace, don't let the servants leave the palace!"

Gui Zhi also knelt down, her face was filled with righteous indignation: "Master, I have been with Liu Zhi for so many years, and Liu Zhi has never done anything wrong to the master behind my back! What's more, she has been in the palace all these years, the master The reward and her own salary are all subsidized to the family! But they are not satisfied now, they still want the dowry from the master after the willow branch leaves the palace!"

"Sister Gui Zhi, how do you know?" Liu Zhi suddenly raised his head.

"You went to meet your family members at the gate of the palace a few days ago, and I thought you were in a bad mood!" Gui Zhi avoided Liu Zhi's gaze and said in a deep voice, "It's just that I didn't expect to hear such and such words from your family members. Mistress! If you give Liu Zhi a dowry and then send her out of the palace, you will really hurt her!"

She was so insane that she didn't even let go of the dowry of her own daughter and younger sister, and stuck to the willow branches like blood-sucking insects. I'm afraid that even if the master and empress pointed out a family, there would be a lot of trouble in the future!

The queen never thought that things would turn out like this!She thinks more than Liu Zhi and Gui Zhi—Liu Zhi serves her by her side, and Liu Zhi's family members are all servants of Niu Colu's house, so there is probably someone behind the killing of someone with high interest Instigate and induce!

"I know, Liu Zhi, if you have no intention of leaving the palace, I will keep you safe and healthy in the palace for the rest of your life! If you intend to leave the palace and start a family, I will definitely let you have no worries!"

"...Mistress, master..." Liu Zhi covered her mouth and sobbed, then fell silent for a while.

Under Guizhi's anxious eyes, she slowly said: "Servant, servant wants to stay in the palace!"

"Okay!" The queen nodded heavily, her long eyelashes covering her eyes with murderous intent, "This palace will also send people to go to the house to investigate this matter, Liu Zhi... in the future, don't talk to me about it." Your family members have met, so don’t let them disturb you again! This palace will let people control them well, and will never let you be implicated again. "

The queen raised her face and smiled slightly at the willow branch: "You look like a little dirty cat, you should hurry up and change your clothes and wash!"

The willow branch laughed out of tears, and told Fu to retreat back to the tip room in a panic to change clothes.

"Gui Zhi... Liu Zhi will leave the palace to you, don't let her have any contact with her family members outside the palace, do you understand?" Gui Zhi could clearly see the fierceness in the queen's eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she bowed nervously, "Yes, I understand!"

"I know you are extremely loyal..." The queen nodded slowly, "Go down and talk to Liu Zhi, she feels bad."

When the palace people retreated one by one, the queen's face became serious—it's not a good thing if the fire is too hot!She hastily called Madam Cao and signaled her to investigate the matter in the harem.

"My lord, most of the palace is covered by the upper three banners, and the lower three banners are only worn by a few maids who are close to the little master. It is estimated that there are only about 20 people in total." Cao Mama said this early. Prepared, Hearing the words, he just shook his head, "It's just that the harem is already extremely noisy just after going to the Three Banners!"

"how do I say this?"

Cao Mama's eyes were filled with turmoil, she pondered for a moment before she spoke softly: "My lord..."

In the palace, there were no fewer than hundreds of maids in the palace who were panicking like willow branches.Only a very small number of them are like willow branches who are close to the palace maids. They can choose to ask for help from the masters who serve them, and find a job for the family under the orders of the masters. Most of them can only wait in fear.

Heartless, many maids who have reached the age of leaving the palace choose to break up with their families, comb their hair and work as nuns in the palace, and the remaining young maids who have only entered the palace in the past two years will suffer.

These are still serving in the palace, and some are working in the royal family's palace. Some are served with sticks and rushed to the outskirts to live, and many are directly returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. .

Both are coated, and they are all slaves, but Xinzheku's sin slaves not only serve the stewards of Xinzheku and lead their families, but also do some low-level labor and dirty work in the palace and the clan's homes in the capital. , Even the descendants will be slaves and handmaids for life.

Children and grandchildren will never be used, not allowed to be officials, and all examinations, donations, etc. are prohibited!This rule made many people desperate, and the crying and screaming when they lost their hair was simply shocking.

This is the case outside the palace, how can it be better inside the palace?When the lights in the palace are turned off and the door is locked, there are always some little maids in the room where the maids sleep uneasy, hiding under the quilt and crying. They are not only worried about the lives of their family members, but also worried about their own fate after being implicated.

After hearing Cao Mama's words, the queen sent a group of eunuchs in charge to investigate carefully in the palace. When the news came back, her complexion became even more ugly.

People in the harem are in a state of panic right now, the calm on the surface is likely to be a lot of people who are just about to make trouble underneath!Will the emperor's steps be too big?

Thinking of this, the empress decided to go to the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, and tell the emperor about the increasingly noisy situation in the House of Internal Affairs, so that the emperor can be vigilant in case of accidents.

In the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as Kangxi finished his dinner, he saw the empress coming in a hurry.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor, the emperor is in peace and prosperity!"

"Get up." Kangxi put down the teacup in his hand, got up and took the Queen's cold little hand, and asked with a little worry, "Why is the Queen here? Didn't I tell you not to go out in such a cold day because you are not healthy? Do you want to rest well in the palace?"

"Long live God, I know the body of the concubine. Before going out, the nuns can't wait to let the concubine wear a black fox shawl, hold a thermos in her hand, and wear more clothes than usual, almost turning into a ball Already!" The queen said with a smile, "The concubine is here for business!"

"Oh?" Kangxi's face became solemn, "What does the queen want to discuss with me?"

"Your Majesty, it's about the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." The queen told the truth about what Madam Cao had recently found out in the harem, and what the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital had found out.

Finally, she said worriedly: "The coating of the House of Internal Affairs involves a large number of people, and the number of people is so large. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If the emperor is all implicated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find skilled servants in the future." It has become difficult!"

"I already know about this matter." Kangxi nodded, "The descendants of Xinzheku sin slaves will never be used, are not allowed to be officials, and all examinations, donations, etc. are prohibited. I have the intention to remove this order. .”

"Huh?" The Queen's eyes widened suddenly, "Your Majesty, this is left by our ancestors..."

"Queen, you said that if the whole family becomes slaves, what is the best way to get out of Xinzheku?" Kangxi stopped the Queen's words and said with a smile.

"This……"

"Empress, you also know, that's where I start." Kangxi smiled, turned sideways and shouted to the back, "Come on, drag Wei Shi out."

A court lady with loose and disheveled hair was dragged out of the curtain beside the empress by two eunuchs and thrown in front of the emperor and empress. Lower your head and stare at the ground.

The queen frowned. The maid in front of her had a beautiful face, snow-white skin, a pointed chin, and a pair of deer eyes with a faint glimmer of water. She looked really pitiful and heart-wrenching.

This is a face that can make people feel good, but the panic and fear of her kneeling on the ground gave the queen an ominous premonition, she restrained her smile, and stared at Wei Shi with flickering thinking eyes: " Your Majesty, what's wrong with this court lady?"

"The father and grandfather of this court lady both work in the imperial dining room." Kangxi said slowly, "Look, it's just that the House of Internal Affairs is in chaos, and it's just that one or two members of the clan were imprisoned by the Department of Punishment, and they couldn't wait to let their daughter Come forward... Could it be that in the eyes of these people, my bed is so easy to get on? Nepotism is much easier than being an official?"

Wei cried and begged: "Your servant deserves to die, my servant deserves to die! This is all my own idea, and it has nothing to do with my servant's Ama Erniang. I beg the emperor to forgive me!"

"Forgive me? Why should I forgive my sin?" Kangxi sneered, "It was just your own idea? On this day when I didn't flip the sign, all the dim sum in the imperial dining room were filled with ingredients to make people angry? Didn't I I have to thank you for not poisoning, thank you for not killing——?"
