[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

Ambergris is rich and long-lasting, making the room more fragrant.

"Your Majesty..." Gan Tang kneeled a little closer to the Emperor.To betray the master is to fight hard, she knows that if she can't be the young master of the palace today, according to the temper of the imperial concubine, she will become the quasi-dead person of An Le Tang tomorrow.

"Take it." The emperor's dizziness worsened, and even his chest felt nauseated after being drunk.Seeing the spring scenery in front of my eyes, I didn't appreciate it at all, but felt my eyes hurt.

As soon as the emperor took it down, Su Peisheng immediately waved his small hand, and two young eunuchs behind him stepped forward and took Gan Tang down firmly.

Thanks Zhou for agreeing.

Ever since Zhou promised to slip away from Su Peisheng's encirclement like a fish swimming in the air, causing him to be scolded, Eunuch Su took a few young apprentices to practice the skills of catching and holding people hard.

Keeping the emperor wants to take people, and he can hold them down immediately.He even asked at least one of the young apprentices on duty to wear a hemp rope on his body to be prepared.

It's just that Su Peisheng didn't expect to put what he learned so quickly into practice.

Gan Tang was still maintaining the posture of bowing her body to pay her respects - she secretly practiced this movement in front of the mirror several times, and made sure that she was twisting unevenly, which was extraordinarily moving.

Unexpectedly, the emperor couldn't appreciate it, so he directly ordered her to be taken down.Gan Tang didn't dare to run away, but begged for mercy: "Long Live Lord..."

"Shut up." Not only did Su Peisheng have practiced it, after Zhou Xu's crying and Ma Jia's words angering the Queen Mother, the emperor has also become accustomed to the fact that it is more important for people who annoy him to shut up first.

Before Gan Tang could say a word, he was tied aside by the gag.

The rage seemed to burn off part of the emperor's alcohol, he stared at the imperial concubine, the disappointment and coldness made the imperial concubine afraid.

"Nianshi, you are really disappointing."

The imperial concubine only felt that her mind was still in chaos, she wanted to ask Gan Tang about the lead bridge, where is the maid lead bridge?

But the only remaining reason told her not to ask.If the approach bridge is involved, then it's not just that her court lady is going to seduce her, but she has designed a big pit to plot against the nobleman at the emperor's expense.

It's fine if it's done, now that the lead bridge hasn't appeared, the only reason left by the imperial concubine is that she didn't blurt out that she was a werewolf, and yelled that the concubine was not preparing for this maid.

After Su Peisheng had finished tying them up, he hurriedly went outside to twist a veil himself.

The emperor took the cold water handkerchief and put it on his eyes.In the sobriety brought about by the cold, the emperor ordered one by one: "Detain all the palace people in this Yikun Palace. Even if they are not on duty today, they will all be detained tonight for trial." Concubine, I am not afraid that there will be no place for people.

"Whether it's wine, vegetables, tea, or even utensils, all the banquets that Zhen used just now are left alone, and no one is allowed to touch them."

"Order the imperial hospital to call the imperial physician who is good at examining poisons and restraining substances to come over and divide them into four houses for careful inspection!"

This is simply not saving a little face for the noble concubine, and showing the attitude of investigating rebels.

The imperial concubine felt very wronged, but she couldn't argue with her.

That's right, the wine was persuaded by himself, the side hall was invited to the emperor by himself, and the clothes of Gantang, even ordinary court ladies would definitely not be able to get them.

The imperial concubine cannot be washed clean no matter what.She hates her so much now, how could there be such a traitor by her side!At the same time, I feel regretful, how could I make such a bad move in such a hurry.

Shu Pu obviously persuaded himself, but why was he so impatient and refused to listen to the persuasion.

because……

The imperial concubine suddenly said: "Your majesty, I blame the nobleman, she really disrespected my concubine today, that's why I confused my concubine."

It has to be said that the current situation of the imperial concubine is a bit like a gambler who loses in a panic, trying to play any cards frantically.No, if you throw out a pair of threes as a pair, you won't be able to get any cards in the future, and you will only lose even worse.

The emperor even laughed angrily at this sentence.The emperor has the impression that this palace lady is the imperial concubine's personal maid - in the imperial concubine's Yikun palace, the imperial concubine's personal maid appeared in front of him wearing clothes that were specially prepared for her. The honorable person who should have rested in the Yonghe Palace?

"Blame her? Then tell me, why is she disrespectful to you? Did she drug you? It made you crazy, so you dare to plot against me!"

The imperial concubine nominated Jiang Heng on impulse, but now she was speechless.

What did you say, said that the nobleman gave her a loose-leaf book?Two fish prints representing shame on the cover?

But the two goldfish were obviously the ones who delivered the letter to the nobleman first.I'm afraid that the pair of fish are still hidden in the Yonghe Palace, and Mr. Xin may wait for her to mention this matter to the emperor.

Or did Mr. Xin disrespect her and leave early at the banquet?

The noble concubine herself didn't dare: I believe that the nobleman was first arranged by her to be suppressed at a separate table or a table without wine, and then she broke her defenses and drove her out with a cold face.

In full view, all the concubines are witnesses.

And the words that the nobleman said, although they are disgusting in detail, there is not a word of disrespect.

What is she going to say, what can she say? !

The imperial concubine slumped on the ground.

Seeing that the imperial concubine was speechless again, the emperor couldn't help but sneer: "Don't worry about it, she already has the best temper. There is one more thing, I wanted to mention you today. Chen Debao Palace went to buy the eunuch in Yonghe Palace , whether your hand is in it, you must know in your own mind! Chen Debao obeys the law, I have not asked you about this matter, I have been extra lenient to you!"

The imperial concubine's face became paler and paler.

The number of times the emperor visited the Yonghe Palace in person was not infrequent. The young eunuch Zhang Yuzhu had sent newly had a very distinctive appearance. A pair of small canine teeth looked like a bunny.

With the emperor's eyesight, he immediately discovered that the prisoner in Yonghe Palace had changed.

When Zhang Yuzhu appeared the next day holding a sign, the emperor asked him about this matter.

Zhang Yuzhu immediately told about Chen Debao while still holding his pipa half-hidden. The emperor knew it was a lie when he heard that Chen Debao had bitten to death and bought the parents of the Yonghe Palace to curry favor.Ask Zhang Yuzhu directly which concubines Chen Debao has been close to in the harem.

Only then did Zhang Yuzhu dare to mention the noble concubine, and then he kowtowed to say that Chen Debao had been bitten to death until he put on the wooden shackle and went into exile.

But the emperor knew it in his heart.

So when the emperor came back from the Mulan paddock, he gave the noble concubine the same skin as the imperial concubine, in order to tell her not to stretch her hand too far: if she gets connected inside and outside the inner prison, she will be demoted if she has any crooked ideas.

I also feel that hinting is not enough, so I want to make it clear today, and tell Nian the truth that keeping things in order can last long.

As a result, he was violently attacked by Nianshi.

The imperial physician arrived soon, and Su Peisheng was very attentive, and called the steward of the wine storehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inspect the wine and dishes together.It was finally confirmed that this wine does not have any toxic side effects, but it belongs to the kind of strong wine with a very soft taste, not any royal wine in the cellar of the palace.

So far, the imperial concubine has nothing to argue with, and directly said that it was passed in from outside the palace.But she didn't think it was a serious crime, it was just a bottle of wine, and it was not poisonous, she just wanted to please the emperor.

But this matter was the one that the emperor paid the most attention to and was the most angry this night.

Two taels of glass bottled wine can come in, and Hedinghong will also be able to come in next time!The imperial concubine felt that she would not harm the emperor, but the emperor no longer believed her.The emperor didn't see her for a few months, and the imperial concubine poured him strong wine to plot against him. If she had disposed of Nian Gengyao herself, wouldn't the Nian family have poisoned herself?

At this time, the emperor became wary of Nian Gengyao, and the Nian family was about to be removed, so of course it was forbidden for the noble concubine to communicate with the outside of the palace.

The queen had already fallen asleep.

She had a bit of a headache today, drank a little health soup prepared by the imperial doctor, and took a rest very early.

The imperial concubine's birthday is a day that the queen does not like very much.In the past every year at this time, the emperor's rewards were like running water, comparing her Fujin/Queen to a pitiful one.The queen even thought that if this continues, the emperor will not reward the noble concubine, so he wants to give his position as queen to the noble concubine.

Fortunately, that day never came.

But September 29 was never a good day for the queen, so she went to bed early.

It's just that she was not at ease in her heart, and she always dreamed dimly, as if in the dream, the imperial concubine was favored again, and she once again lived the life of being overwhelmed by the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Gong Mei's voice awakened Ulanara.

She opened her eyes, and saw Gong Mei kneeling there outside the curtain: "Your Majesty, the Emperor urgently summons you to Yikun Palace."

For a moment, the queen was still struggling out of the nightmare, almost thinking that she had been abolished, and now she was going to Yikun Palace to pay homage to the 'noble concubine' on her birthday.

However, when I arrived at Yikun Palace, I realized what a reversal is, and any dream is reversed. Having a nightmare means that something good is about to happen!

At first, the queen saw Gan Tang who was pressed against the door.First, I was shocked by her bold dressing style.Then it was speculated that the maid beside the imperial concubine had betrayed her and seduced the emperor, and the imperial concubine was annoyed by the emperor and asked herself to handle the matter.

So the queen was very impatient before entering the door: My own palace people can't manage well, there is a traitor who climbed the dragon bed behind your back on your birthday, isn't it, isn't it, concubine, are you so useless now?

It wasn't until entering the room that the queen listened to Su Peisheng carefully report everything, and the queen was shocked to find out: the imperial concubine is not useless, she is so useful!

The emperor was still holding on to the faucet, dazzled while angry, as if everyone had their own background glow.

Fortunately, when the imperial doctor came, he knew that the emperor used too much wine, so he brought sober medicine. At this time, he boiled a thick portion by the stove in the imperial concubine's palace, and invited the emperor to drink it, so that he was still fainted. , but at least I can see the queen's face clearly, and my words don't drift.

After listening to Su Peisheng's report, the empress hurriedly went to the emperor and was overwhelmed: "The concubine brought bootleg alcohol into the palace. It is the concubine who has no way to take care of the harem. Please forgive me."

This is the trouble of being a queen. There is no honor in this palace for nothing. If something happens, the queen will be the first to step up.

At this time, the empress was bored with the imperial concubine, but also had some inconceivable admiration: yes, you are kind, imperial concubine!In some matters, you are less worried than Ben Gong, dare to think and do it!I respect you for being a man!

Even the emperor was able to get drunk outside the palace. You have been in the palace and harem with me all these years, and you didn't give me some medicine to kill me. You are really being polite to me.

The emperor nodded slightly: The queen is still reliable, knowing where the key points of this matter are.

The imperial concubine is still emphatically defending herself, she did not instruct the court lady Gantang to seduce the emperor.

"From tomorrow onwards, all palaces will be closed and no one is allowed to go out. The Department of Punishment will search the palace starting from your Chengqian palace! Anyone who passes the forbidden items should be thoroughly investigated and severely punished."

The queen was astonished when she heard the words, and couldn't help trembling, but she didn't dare to dismiss it and only dared to say yes.

The emperor tried his best to slow down his tone: "It's not that I don't trust you, the queen, but you have the most palace people in your palace, and they may not all be good! And if the Department of Punishment wants to investigate strictly, it has to start from your palace to let people know. fear."

The emperor also understands that the queen is a sudden disaster, the arrogance of the noble concubine should be blamed on the original emperor's excessive favor in the past, not the queen's incompetence.Therefore, I also avoided cutting the queen's face: "After the maidservants and eunuchs in your palace have been searched, let them follow the Punishment Department to investigate the side." The voice turned cold again: "We must investigate this Yikun Palace. !"

When the queen heard that her own people could join the inspection team, she immediately felt relieved.

After the matter of the search was settled, the empress carefully added: "Then the imperial concubine is here, temporarily confinement and sealing the palace?"

The noble concubine knelt down and couldn't help but glared at the queen.

The emperor frowned: "It's natural! I'm grounded until I feel I've had enough before coming out!"

The queen quickly agreed.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would not let it go: "A noble concubine has no virtue and no conduct, and if she is demoted, she will not be able to return to the throne even if she is granted the title."

The queen was pulled to work overtime at night, and finally received a reward at this moment.

Even too good to be true.

The queen knew that the imperial concubine would be punished, but she thought it would be fine if she only had to be grounded for a long time. Later, it was found out that the imperial concubine had ignored the palace rules for a long time, so she could look forward to the imperial concubine's demotion.

Who would have thought that the emperor would directly demote the noble concubine.She was also downgraded by two ranks and directly became a concubine.That's not to mention, the most important thing is the second half of the sentence 'Even if there is a big seal, it can't be reset'. Let's take a look at it. It is true that the workplace will end, and there is only room for decline from now on.

The queen sighed with emotion: Is this the case of deep love and responsibility?I have learned a lot!

When Jiang Heng got up the next day, he was told that he didn't need to go to pay his respects.Not only do you not need to say hello, but you also don't need to go out. Everyone needs to stay in the palace and cannot move around.

Starting from Qiu Xue, Man Gongli was a little flustered, because there was no news at all.

The emperor issued an order last night, and this morning all the palace roads are still under the key-down status at night, and not only the inner prison, but also the guards transferred from the front are guarding together, except for the people from the Punishment Department, the rest of the palaces People simply cannot get through.In the past, any favors or private channels were not easy to use in front of the emperor's anger.

No matter how well-informed Qiu Xue was at ordinary times, it was useless, but now she couldn't get out of the door at all, even if she did, she couldn't get out of the two palace roads of the main entrance and the back door of Yonghe Palace.

It can be said that there is nowhere to ask for news.

They didn't even know if only the Yonghe Palace was sealed off, or if everyone else was like this.

When Jiang Heng heard Qiu Xue report that there were taciturn guards guarding the corner gates of the palace, Jiang Heng smiled and said: "Maybe I showed my power at the concubine's birthday banquet yesterday, and the concubine sued the emperor, and then the Yonghe Palace was sealed off." , I was grounded."

She was joking, but she didn't expect that after she finished speaking, both Qiuxue and Qiushuang would look terrified as if they had been struck by lightning.

Jiang Heng laughed and went to the bed, and rolled around a few times: since he got here, he was a little tense, but it's still interesting.

She had an intuition that something happened to Yikun Palace, or something serious happened, which angered the emperor!

The psychological shadow of Qiu Xue and Qiu Shuang was not relieved until breakfast.

The palace can be closed, but people can't stop eating.

Then there was an accident in Yikun Palace, not only the Punishment Department, but also the dining room had to work overtime, they had to send people to each palace and hospital to deliver breakfast.

To this end, they sent all the eunuchs who helped cook, and even the firemen were sent away.This manpower is not enough, even the little eunuch who guards the gate is used—anyway, all the palace masters and palace people are locked up, and the big dining room does not need to guard the gate.

Qiu Xue went to the gate of the palace, took the breakfast box through the iron chain, and also received the news from outside.

The little eunuch who delivered the food was very clever, and he explained the situation outside in a few words in a low voice.Then he hurriedly said: "My master is Chang Qingchang, the eunuch of the big dining room. The master is serving the front of the master, and the Long Live God can't leave. Let me pay my respects to the nobleman."

Qiu Xue brought back Mr. Chang's invitation and An Xin.

It turned out that the imperial concubine had made a serious mistake.

The people in the palace really tried to please people, Chang Qing was working in the imperial dining room at the front, and he was probably very busy today, but he still didn't forget to sell it to Yonghe Palace as soon as possible.

Although Jiang Heng didn't carry any prohibited items here, it's always good to know the information in advance, and he must remember Chang Boss's favor.

Jiang Heng sat down to eat breakfast, and today the dining room brought a plate of eight-treasure pickles.

When she was at home, she used to eat porridge with various pickles and pickles in the morning.In particular, there is a kind of mannose pickle dripped with sesame oil, which looks like a screw, tender, sweet and crisp, Jiang Heng will pick it out and eat it alone every time.

Jiang Heng sipped his porridge slowly, waiting for the Department of Punishment to come to his door.

Jiang Heng was ready, but the Punishment Division couldn't come to her yet.

It wasn't until the time when the breakfast in the palace was about to run out that the Department of Punishment had just finished investigating the queen's palace.

The main hall of Chengqian Palace.

Madam Su said deeply to the queen, "I offended you." Her face was always upright and serious.

Just now she took ten people from the Punishment Department and seven well-trained hounds to search the Queen's Palace carefully.

Even with the Queen's permission, Madam Su personally entered the Queen's Empress's bedroom and inspected it—even checked the Queen's bedroom, and then she had the confidence to go to the next palace.

The queen was amiable: "It's okay, this is also your duty."

Although Madam Su entered her bedroom, she kept her hands tucked in her sleeves and did not touch her things, and she never brought a dog into her palace, the dog only entered the palace room.

At this time, the seven dogs were squatting obediently in a circle in the yard. From a distance, it looked like a huge dog with seven heads.The queen looked through the window and couldn't help being startled.She has never liked furry animals, not even the smallest oriole and other birds.

Not to mention these big dogs.

Now seeing them squatting in the yard, I feel itchy all over my body. I have already told Xueya to sprinkle sulfur powder and burn the mugwort leaves to smoke again.But thinking that these well-trained black dogs were going to enter the imperial concubine's palace soon, the queen thought they were a bit cute.

Madam Su asked the queen again: "Go back to your mother, the servants have accepted the order of the Lord Long Live, and then they will thoroughly investigate the palaces of the concubines. They need to be supervised by the mothers and maids in the palace of the empress. I also ask the empress to give me manpower."

The queen nodded Si Momo and Gong Mei, and waved her hand to Su Momo: "The Punishment Department is the master of the matter. The people here are heretics, and they can't be regarded as supervisors. When it comes to the Punishment Department, you have to get things done before you can report back to the emperor."

In front of Madam Su, she directly told Madam Si and Gongmei: "The emperor's order, I have already told you all. Today you will go with Su Zhangsi of the Department of Punishment. If there is any omission for selfishness, we will return to you in the future." If something happens, it will all be on our Chengqian Palace."

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility is not necessarily greater, but the higher the position, the more money you get, the greater the joint and several liability.

Jiang Heng took advantage of this day to catch up on sleep, but the queen had to shoulder the responsibility and send someone to go with him.

A group of dogs walked out of Chengqian Palace in a mighty way, and turned onto the palace road to West Sixth Palace.

Even if the Yonghe Palace is next to the Chengqian Palace, going there directly can save a lot of legs and feet, but it can't.The Punishment Department must follow the order of their positions, and copy them first, no, check the Yikun Palace first.

The former imperial concubine, now the concubine of the Nian, sat upright and waited for the Department of Punishment.

Nian tried his best to tell himself that even if she was a concubine, she was still the empress.She still has her mother's family, so she can't lose her status.The emperor was only annoyed for a while, but he will never bear it in the future.

In front of her was a shivering Gan Tang kneeling.

One night passed, but Gan Tang was still wearing the same clothes, it was a bit darker.Because after the emperor got up last night, she was locked in the room where the coal was stored, and she was brought back to the concubine Nian again early this morning.

Gan Tang hurriedly seized the opportunity and cried, "I beg your mother to spare your life."

Concubine Nian was holding the boiling hot tea, but her hands were still cold: "I don't want your life, but you have repeatedly violated the palace rules of bringing extra-uterine objects into the palace, and I will hand you over to the Department of Punishment."

She hated the servant who betrayed the master to death.

Gantang was kept overnight for waste utilization: anyway, she still had some items passed around in the palace, so they put them all on Gantang, and let her go to the Department of Punishment to be tortured.

As for whether Gan Tang would spit out other things, Nian didn't care.All of Gan Tang's family worked as errands in the Nian's family, so Gan Tang could clearly distinguish between dying alone and with the whole family.

Gan Tang wanted to go forward and hold the concubine's leg to beg, but was held down by the eunuch.

"It's all approaching the bridge. She didn't know what evil she had done to ruin her face. The servant was afraid that he would miss the important event of the empress, so..."

Nian concubine gave her a look: "You have said this many times. Is the maid really suffering from a sudden illness and disfiguring her face, or is she just pretending that she didn't have the intention of surrendering at the beginning, and she has been lying to me. Naturally, I have to investigate understand."

"But you don't have to worry about it. I will find her in the future."

As soon as Concubine Nian finished speaking, people from the Department of Punishment arrived outside.

Su Nanny is a face that Nian is very familiar with, but just behind Su Nanny, there is another face she is also very familiar with, which is the approach bridge she was just mentioning.

It's just that Yinqiao's face is smooth and fair, not a little bit of the rash that Gantang said on his face.Gan Tang also saw Yinqiao at a glance, as if seeing a ghost again: "Your face! How is your face okay? Your face was rotten last night!"

Yinqiao innocently said that he had never seen Gantang last night, and expressed dissatisfaction with Gantang's vicious curse.Looking at the concubine Nian, she even said with a bit of resentment: "The servant is humble, so she should not be summoned by the mother. However, the servant really has no face and is rotten." The implication is that it is fine if you don't lift me up to the emperor, why are you spreading rumors about me? Disfigured, this is your fault!

Concubine Nian choked on her, as if she was petty and repetitive.

She stared at Madam Su: "Director Su, when did this maid arrive at the Department of Punishment?"

Madam Su was very calm: "This servant just received an imperial decree last night to check out the prohibited items in the harem. There are not enough maids in the Punishment Department, so this servant picked a few maids from the idle staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because most of the palace servants who can read and write , and picked her."

Some people have friendly faces, some are mean, and some have straight faces.

Mother Su is like this, when Bao Qingtian sees her, he has to reflect on whether he is not impartial enough.

With such a face on her face, she continued: "This happened last night. As for the maidservant, I don't know if she has seen the maids in the palace of the concubine before she was picked up by the servant." As if remembering something, she added: "But last night at the third watch, when the slave servant saw this maid named Yinqiao, there was no abnormality on her face."

Mother Su's words were clear and logical, and she didn't mean to give Yinqiao a guarantee, but Nian concubine believed it instead.

She glanced at Gan Tang who was still in shock with the eyes of a dead person, and nodded to everyone in the Department of Punishment: "Since the emperor ordered it, let's investigate."
