"Thanks to the Empress's kindness, I have received this chestnut cake. Naturally, I will go to the Empress' palace to kowtow and express my gratitude." An Lirong placed the cake on the table and said to Biyun with a smile.
When she arrived at the Feng Palace, An Lirong first politely bowed to Su Mengyan, and then thanked her for giving her the chestnut cake.
"Okay, you know I asked you to come here on purpose, so stop saying these words of thanks." Su Mengyan had something on her mind at the moment, and naturally she was a little impatient with these false courtesies.
She had asked An Lirong to come over because she had something to say. She knew An Lirong was a smart person, so she told her everything about Li Aimi. After she finished, she asked, "What kind of person do you think Li Aimi is?"
I didn't expect that Su Mengyan asked me to come here to talk about Li Eimi. As for Li Eimi, she had just entered the palace not long ago and I had no contact with her. But from what Su Mengyan said, her actions today made it obvious that she was a very scheming person. It seems that they must not ignore such a person.
So she told Su Mengyan what she was thinking: "Your Majesty, this Li Emi seems to be a smart person. She has already taken the initiative to attack others, which shows that she does not want to live a peaceful life in this harem. In this case, we naturally need to get closer and find out what she is planning."
An Lirong's words made sense, so Su Mengyan readily agreed.
While the two people were discussing how to approach Li Aimi, Li Aimi returned to her palace, thinking about everything she had seen, and felt that everything was under her control.
"I thought the Empress was such a great figure, but I just used a little trick and she was fooled by me. It seems that she is just like that!" Li Emi held the teacup in her hand with a sneer on her face.
When the embroiderer beside her heard what Li Ai Mi said, she immediately agreed with a smile: "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty is extremely intelligent. And the Empress is nothing. She can't be compared with you."
The embroiderer was a maid brought into the palace by Li Eimi, so she was very familiar with Li Eimi's every move. In addition, she had just seen how Su Mengyan was fooled by Li Eimi. This was an excellent opportunity to flatter her, so she naturally would not miss it.
Just as the master and servant were talking and flattering Fu He, they suddenly heard a slight noise coming from outside the window.
"What's that sound?" After all, they were saying bad things about the Queen, so Li Eimi was naturally on guard. So when she heard the sound outside, she immediately asked.
The embroiderer was also startled and rushed out immediately after hearing Li Eimi's question.
At the same time, she shouted loudly, asking other people in the courtyard to cooperate with her, and finally found a young eunuch trying to escape in a corner outside the window.
The young eunuch was quite pitiful. He was just passing by the window, but the loud voices of the master and servant in the room attracted his attention. So he listened outside the window for a while, and unexpectedly heard such a blasphemous conversation. In his haste, he wanted to leave, but he stepped on a small branch.
The sound of the branches attracted the attention of the master and servant in the room. He wanted to leave, but his legs felt weak and he was blocked in a corner, making it difficult for him to escape.
"I didn't hear anything. Please, let me go." The young eunuch knelt down immediately when he saw the leading embroiderer, hoping that his action would make the embroiderer show mercy and let him go.
However, the embroiderer understood that if the words she and her master had just said were spread by this little eunuch, it would be enough for them to die ten times over, so no matter how much the little eunuch begged her, she refused to give in.
"How dare you hide outside the window and eavesdrop on your master's conversation? You deserve to be beaten to death." Xiuniang stared at the eunuch fiercely and said. At the same time, she was also afraid that the eunuch would spread what she had just said, so she ordered the people around her: "Shut up this eunuch's mouth, so that he won't say anything he shouldn't say."
The embroiderer was Li Eimi's personal maid, so her status among these people was one of the best. When she spoke, how could these people not listen? So two eunuchs immediately stuffed a piece of rag into the little eunuch's mouth.
At the same time, the young eunuch was also tied up.
In this way, the embroiderer brought the little eunuch who was tied up like a dumpling and had his mouth gagged to Li Eimi.
"Your Majesty, this is the man who is eavesdropping outside." The embroiderer bowed to Li Eimi and said.
Li Ai Mi's eyes, which had been expressionless at first, suddenly became fierce. "What did you hear just now? Tell me, who sent you here?"
At this time, there was no one else in the palace except the master and servant and the little eunuch, so when Li Eimi asked the little eunuch a question, the embroiderer took the rag out of the little eunuch's mouth with great tact.
The young eunuch fell to the ground, trembling all over. Upon hearing Li Emi's words, he immediately cried out, "Your Majesty, please understand. No one sent this servant here. Your Majesty, this servant didn't hear anything just now."
He knew that no matter what, he would have to deny that he heard anything. If he had known this, he would not have thought of taking a shortcut and passing by the window.
But how could Li Ai Mi believe his words? So she picked up an embroidery needle and waved it in front of the young eunuch's eyes: "What do you think would happen if this needle pierced your body?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Eimi quickly inserted the needle into the gap between the eunuch's fingers.
The fingers are connected to the heart, and you should know what kind of pain the little eunuch is suffering at this time.
However, the young eunuch still gritted his teeth and said that he heard nothing and no one sent him.
"It seems that he is still a tough nut to crack. Xiuniang, please serve him well and make him tell you everything he knows." Li Emi made up her mind that this little eunuch was sent by someone to inquire about her.
So no matter what the young eunuch said, he didn't believe a word he said, and even asked the embroiderer to torture him to extract a confession.
The young eunuch felt as if his body was not his own. He had never expected that he had suffered so much pain just by taking a shortcut.
"Your Majesty, seriously... no one sent me here, I really didn't hear anything..." The young eunuch was now in tattered clothes, his body covered with whip marks, but he still refused to give in.
