You know, this scene was about to happen to Yan Shu.
Ren Dong was so angry that she scolded on the spot, "Who told you to harm the master like this, why don't you tell me?"
Lu Yan just cried and kowtowed to Yan Shu, "Please spare my life, your Highness, I accidentally put alkali in the water just now..."
Ren Dong couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked her, "You are still stubborn when you are about to die!"
Yan Shu pondered.
She had long understood that she was hated, but there were two major factions in the palace, Concubine Zhou and Concubine Ning, so who was the one who did it this time?
Just as she was thinking, she saw Fu Hai coming in with a box.
Yan Shu's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Eunuch Fu is here at the right time."
Fu Hai had also seen the situation in the palace, and hurriedly asked, "What happened here, Guiyi?"
Yan Shu asked Ren Dong to tell him what happened.
After listening, Fu Hai pondered quietly in his heart.
This matter is not easy to handle -
even if the person who did it is found out, Li Guiyi will not be able to handle it.
You know, Concubine Zhou has the support of the Queen Mother, and Concubine Ning has the support of the Princess. None of them is easy to mess with...
At this time, Yan Shu said, "This girl was transferred from the Internal Affairs Bureau the day before yesterday. It's my fault. I actually let this kind of person serve. If the emperor comes one day and accidentally falls into her trap, what should we do? Now I heard that the new chief of the Internal Affairs Bureau has not yet taken office, and I don't know who to find?"
This made Fu Hai startled.
——That’s right. Although Lady Li can’t stand up to those two, she has the Emperor! Look how happy she has been making the Emperor happy these days!
That night, Pan Luhai was dismissed, and the Internal Affairs Bureau hadn’t found a new chief steward yet. He has been serving concurrently these days. In this way, wouldn’t it become his?
He then hurriedly said, "If you can trust me, I'll take care of this matter."
Yan Shu nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your help."
Then she asked, "I wonder what Eunuch Fu is here for?"
Fu Hai then remembered what he was talking about, and hurriedly handed over the box in his hand, saying, "His Majesty has ordered me to bring jewelry to you."
Yan Shu was stunned, "Jewelry?"
Fu Hai nodded vigorously, "Didn't your majesty play pot toss with you last night? Later, your majesty was guarding the Empress Dowager all the time, and only had
some free time this morning. As soon as he got off the morning court, he ordered my servant to bring it to you." Last night's regrets and the unhappiness just now disappeared in an instant. Yan Shu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Hey, I didn't expect that the treasure that flew away could fly back again. It seems that the emperor has a good memory!
She hurriedly asked Ren Dong to take it, and gave Fu Hai a reward. Hey, with this heavy box of treasures, a little change is nothing.
"Thank you for the gift, Your Excellency."
Fu Hai took the reward, still thinking about the green smoke in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shu said, "There is one more thing, I don't know whether I should tell you or not?"
Fu Hai hurriedly said, "Please let your Excellency tell me."
Yan Shu acted mysterious, deliberately sent everyone around her away, and then said, "Last night in Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother asked about the injury of His Majesty... I don't know who spread this matter. I remember that His Majesty didn't want people to know? You are in charge of Qianming Palace, I wonder if you know about it?"
Fu Hai was stunned.
Last night, he was unable to enter the Ci'an Palace and was unaware of what was going on inside. Now he found out that even the Queen Mother knew that His Majesty was injured?
Tsk, His Majesty only asked him to take the golden medicine and specifically ordered him not to make it public...
This is a bigger deal!
Fu Hai shuddered and said quickly, "Your Excellency is wise, how dare I talk nonsense about such an important matter?"
Yan Shu smiled and said, "General Manager, you are too kind. You are the person His Majesty trusts the most, so it must be true. I just guessed that there are so many people in Qianming Palace, and there might be one or two who like to talk?"
Fu Hai understood immediately and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency. I will check it now."
Yan Shu nodded and smiled friendly, "Hurry up."
Fu Hai agreed, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurried back to Qianming Palace.
~~
After sending Fu Hai away, Yan Shu did not dare to use new people, and only asked Rendong and Lianxin to do close work.
Fortunately, Fu Hai was thoughtful and quickly called a few trusted palace maids to serve her.
The system did not sound the alarm again, so Yan Shu was relieved for the time being. After washing up and having breakfast, she happily opened the treasure chest and counted her property.
Hey, although the box is not big, it can hold a lot of pearls of all sizes, colorful gems, and the finest white jade, jadeite, agate, etc., which are really dazzling.
Now she is satisfied, she happily put away the treasures, took out paper and pen to continue writing the storybook. She
has no worries about food and drink and money. Next, she only needs to save her life and develop her ideals. Maybe one day it will really be passed down.
In comparison, Yuwen Lan is much busier.
Near the end of the year, there was another disaster. In the morning, he received officials from various places who came to Beijing to report on their duties. In the afternoon, he continued to arrange disaster relief and military deployment in Sichuan and Guizhou. He had three meals a day in a hurry.
It was not until the evening that he finally had some free time.
He first asked about the situation in Ci'an Palace, and heard Fu Hai say, "Today, Zhang Yuanpan of the Imperial Medical Bureau has been personally guarding Ci'an Palace. I heard that the Empress Dowager has improved, but she is still bedridden."
Yuwen Lan nodded, "I will go to guard the Empress Dowager tonight ."
After speaking, he sniffed another eunuch, Fu Bao, and asked, "What did Li Guiyi do today?"
Fu Bao said, "Your Majesty, Li Guiyi got up early to visit the Empress Dowager, and then stayed in Ganlu Palace without going out. No other empresses visited during this period."
Yuwen Lan frowned again.
He really didn't understand, she stayed in the palace all day and hardly communicated with anyone, how did she know so much messy news?
During the day, he was always thinking about state affairs. Now that he was free, his doubts grew stronger and stronger, like a hundred claws tugging at his heart, making him feel uneasy.
He thought about it and simply went out.
Fu Hai hurriedly followed him. He originally thought that the king was going to Ci'an Palace, but after walking a few steps, he found that he was going to Ganlu Palace.
That's right, Yuwen Lan just wanted to find out what secrets that girl had.
Ganlu Palace was not far from Qianming Palace, so he could reach the place in a few steps without taking a sedan chair.
He specifically ordered the palace maids at the gate not to make a sound, and walked into the palace alone, only to find Yan Shu bathing in the clean room.
That was fine, he sent the palace maids away and looked around the palace alone, and suddenly found that there was a stack of papers on the small kang table under the west window, and there were pens and ink next to it.
Hmm, what is this?
He walked forward and took the paper in his hand, and found that it was a coherent sentence on it.
However... the handwriting was not very good, and it looked a bit difficult to read.
After trying to read it, Yuwen Lan found that it was not just an ordinary sentence, but like a story, with characters, dialogues, and scenes.
He tried to flip through the paper again and finally found the first page of the story. At the beginning, it was written with a name - "The Talented and Beautiful Man"
Yuwen Lan, "..."
Looking at the side, there was a pile of already written articles, titled "The Enthusiastic General and the Young Widow".
Yuwen Lan, "..."
Why are they all in this style?
He tried to read the "The Talented and Beautiful Man" in his hand roughly. He saw that it was about a scholar from a poor family who was spotted by a courtesan in a brothel by chance. The courtesan appreciated his talent and gave him money to help him take the exam. Later, the scholar passed the imperial examination and ranked second, but for his future, he married the daughter of a high-ranking official in Beijing and abandoned his former lover...
Yuwen Lan, "..."
Scholar, courtesan?
In connection with last night, he vaguely felt that the prototype of this scholar was a bit like Wei Ruzhang, the Grand Academician of Wenhua Pavilion.
Just at this moment, the sound of water in the clean room stopped, and a beautiful woman came into the bedroom in her nightgown after taking a bath.
When their eyes met, Yan Shu was startled and subconsciously rubbed her chest and said, "When did Your Majesty come?"
Yuwen Lan glanced at her and said, "Just arrived."
Well, her hair was slightly wet, her cheeks were rosy, and her skin was as white as cream. What a pleasing picture.
But why is she protecting her chest?
We kissed last night.
He was a little unhappy and asked, "Why do you take a bath so early?"
Yan Shu said, "I accidentally soiled my clothes while writing just now, so I just took a bath and changed."
Yuwen Lan asked, "The paper on the table, did you write it?"
Yan Shu nodded frankly, "Yes, I had nothing to do, so I wrote some storybooks to pass the time."
Then she asked him, "Your Majesty, have you read it? How is my writing?"
Yuwen Lan said, "It's a bit vulgar."
Vulgar?
Yan Shu was immediately dissatisfied and said, "I am brave enough to ask Your Majesty for advice, how can it be vulgar?"
Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this kind of story of betrayal very common?"
Yan Shu curled her lips and said, "That's because I haven't finished writing it, Your Majesty only read the first half." "
Oh?"
Yuwen Lan became curious, "What's in the back?"
Yan Shu cleared her throat, "Later, the courtesan found that she was let down, so she simply redeemed herself and devoted herself to the business world, and she expanded her family business and found a good man. After they got married, they lived in harmony and gave birth to a son. The son was gifted and studious since childhood. When he grew up, he took the imperial examination and became a pillar of the court."
"And that scholar, blinded by greed and greed, did a lot of evil things, and later his crimes were exposed, and happened to fall into the hands of the courtesan's son. In addition, there was a wise monarch who upheld justice, and the scholar finally got his retribution and was demoted to a commoner. The courtesan took her husband to travel around the world and lived a carefree life. "
Yuwen Lan, "..."
Well, it does sound a little different.
But he thought about it and said, "According to the laws of this dynasty, the sons of merchants cannot participate in the imperial examinations."
Yan Shu almost rolled her eyes at him, "This is fiction."
Yuwen Lan didn't understand, "What do you mean by fiction?"
Yan Shu said, "Fiction is a made-up world, not the real present, just like the characters in the story are fictional."
Fiction?
Yuwen Lan asked again, "Why did you think of writing these?"
Yan Shu said casually, "I have read storybooks before, and I was bored and killed time, so I wrote some."
Yuwen Lan further probed, "Does the scholar in the story have a prototype?"
Prototype?
Yan Shu thought that there was, but she certainly couldn't let you see it. What if she let you know that this was Wei Ruzhang, the Grand Scholar of Wenhua Pavilion?
But she smiled and said, "Your Majesty also said that there are many such stories. I heard such stories in my hometown before, so I adapted them."
It was indeed Wei Ruzhang.
Yuwen Lan had an idea in mind, and turned his eyes to the book "The Hot-blooded General and the Pretty Widow", saying, "I'll take a look at that one."
But as soon as he finished speaking, she took the manuscript in her hand and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, don't read this one first."
Yuwen Lan was stunned, "Why?"
Yan Shu stammered, "It's just... it's just that this concubine hasn't finished writing it yet."
Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the story just now not finished?"
She still reached out to take it.
But Yan Shu quickly dodged and said, "No, this story is not suitable for Your Majesty, it's for women."
Damn! This book is kidney-damaging, what if he gets stimulated after reading it?
Yuwen Lan, "???"
The author has something to say:
Emperor: The more I talk about it, the more I want to read it.
Yan Shu: ... Could this be the legendary addiction to being a loser?
Emperor: ???
