Chunyu nodded, "This servant has sent people to investigate privately, but so far there has been no news."
The main problem is that things happened very quickly, and since Kunning Palace is the Empress's residence, its defenses are very strict. If Chunyu wants to successfully dig out information, she will have to wait at least a few more days.
"There's no rush, we can investigate slowly," Xiu Ning was indeed curious about Wu Ya Cheng Lin, but this person had successfully risen to power in the sixteenth year of Kangxi's reign, and now that he was to be sent to the Qianqing Palace, with a lot of eyes watching him, he would probably have to be transferred in a low-key manner.
Chunyu responded with a "yes," but the investigation wasn't as slow as she had imagined.
About three or four days later, Chunyu had sorted out the whole story and told it to her master.
Xiuning was carrying Yider as they walked around the main hall, listening to Chunyu's gentle narration.
"So, what exactly happened in the room remains unknown."
In short, that evening, Liang Jiugong personally escorted Wuya Chenglin back to the Qianqing Palace.
Where does Nawuya Chenglin currently hold a position?
Xiuning patted Yider's restless back and then focused her gaze on Chunyu.
Chunyu lowered her head slightly, "Wuya Chenglin has been assigned to the tea room, and I heard that she is now only responsible for serving tea and water on weekdays."
“It has nothing to do with her being good at making soup,” Xiu Ning raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. “In two more days, it will be time to go to Kunning Palace to pay respects. I wonder if the Empress will be in a good mood.”
In broad daylight, he directly arranged for someone to fetch the person from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace. Should we say that the Emperor was disrespecting the Empress, or that the Emperor was acting too casually?
Furthermore, just how much magic does Wuya Chenglin possess that even the Emperor himself would slap the Empress in the face to take her away? Could it really be the halo of a victor (that such a thing exists)?
Xiuning was somewhat confused, especially after Chunyu explained the situation, which made her even more disoriented.
Similarly, Consort Hesheli Fangyi of Kunning Palace also did not understand why the Emperor insisted on taking away a mere palace maid.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let me help you back to your room."
Tan Yun walked to Hesheli Fangyi's side, wanting to reach out and support her mistress, but Hesheli Fangyi broke free from her grasp.
"Why go back? The weather is perfect tonight, stay a little longer" can help you stay calm.
Feeling a surge of anger that she couldn't vent, Hesheli Fangyi felt somewhat aggrieved. She truly didn't understand why Wuya Chenglin was able to enter the room so easily, even though she had clearly instructed the palace servants at the door not to disturb the Emperor.
"Has no one spoken out on Li Mama's side?"
As Hesheli Fangyi spoke, she looked up and saw the bright moon hanging in the sky.
Tan Yun swallowed subconsciously. "No, they all say they're innocent. Your Majesty, perhaps there might be some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstand?"
Hesheli Fangyi did not turn around, but Tan Yun could hear the disdain in her tone. "His Majesty rests alone on the couch. I went to the side hall to accompany Bao Cheng. There are Liang Jiugong and others guarding the door. How can Wuya Chenglin get in?"
Turning his head, his sharp eyes swept over Tan Yun, startling her so much that she took a step back, her whole body trembling.
"It's pointless to say more now, but if one Wuya Chenglin can disgust me today, who knows if another Wuya Chenglin won't pop up tomorrow to continue to disgust me?"
How can such things be prevented from happening if the matter is not thoroughly investigated? Hesheli Fangyi became more and more irritated, especially since the other party's surname was Uya. Thinking that the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty would be Yongzheng, Hesheli Fangyi's vision went black and her body swayed as if she were about to collapse.
Tan Yun was startled and quickly reached out to support Hesheli Fangyi.
With the support of others, Hesheli Fangyi at least didn't fall to the ground. She opened her mouth to catch her breath, then reached out and grabbed Tan Yun's arm tightly, "Investigate! No matter who it is, no matter who it is, we must investigate to the end and not let them get away with it!"
This was the first time Hesheli Fangyi had been so angry since she arrived.
Wu Ya Cheng Lin, both in name and in behavior, has crossed her bottom line.
Moreover, as a modern person, she could not tolerate the existence of such a legal mistress. She had made many preparations before she finally accepted Kangxi, but Kangxi turned around and did this to her.
With resentment even towards Emperor Kangxi in her heart, Hesheli Fangyi's eyes flickered with various emotions, making Tan Yun, who noticed her, too afraid to speak.
Since Hesheli Fangyi didn't want to move on, Li Mama had no choice but to dig up more information.
Of course, while digging was underway, Hesheli Fangyi did not stop pursuing accountability outside of Kunning Palace.
Wuya Chenglin's grandfather, the head of the imperial kitchen, soon fell into misfortune.
Because of issues related to ingredients and embezzlement, he was directly reported by his close subordinates, which also led to a major reshuffle of the entire Imperial Kitchen from top to bottom, resulting in a complete change and division of power within the Imperial Kitchen and even the Imperial Household Department.
Xiu Ning usually came to Kun Ning Palace to pay her respects, but she didn't see the changes she wanted on He She Li Fang Yi's face. However, one thing after another related to Wu Ya Cheng Lin was sent to her ears through Chun Yu.
Needless to say, Consort Shu and her influence were also involved. After all, she was the victor in the original timeline, and Wu Ya Cheng Lin deserves to be wary of by everyone who knows the timeline.
'Pfft, even if Wuya Chenglin gets her wish and goes to the Qianqing Palace, she probably won't be happy.'
The price we paid was too high.
In the warm spring of March, Xiu Ning, having nothing to do, sat on the couch and chatted idly with the system in her mind.
The system, hearing the schadenfreude in Xiuning's words, thought, 'This should have been expected.'
After all, it was not something that Empress Wuya could easily control, as Hesheli was using tricks in front of the Empress.
'I expected it, but I didn't expect it to be this ruthless.'
Xiu Ning felt that Wu Ya Cheng Lin underestimated He She Li Fang Yi's tolerance for certain things as a modern person. She probably thought she would only be targeted and would just stay quiet for a while. She didn't expect He She Li Fang Yi to directly take action and destroy the Wu Ya clan's pillar. This was a direct attack on the source.
Xiu Ning's guess was correct. At this moment, Wu Ya Cheng Lin, who was still in the tea room of the Qianqing Palace, really did not expect that the Empress would condescend to target her, a nobody, and even suppress Wu Ya and her grandfather, causing great harm to both sides.
Unfortunately, the matter was already settled. My grandfather was forced to resign and return home. Uya's influence in the Imperial Kitchen and the Imperial Household Department was largely destroyed. Even some of the subtle preferential treatment she had received before disappeared without a trace after my grandfather left office.
"Cheng Lin, what are you standing there for? The Emperor wants to drink brewed Longjing tea, quickly bring it up."
A palace servant urged her from the doorway. Cheng Lin quickly composed herself and responded. Then, she hurriedly placed the prepared teacups on a tray and carried them out.
