Chapter 100 Begging
Although Zhu Li was dealt with, wasn't this a slap in the face of Concubine Yi? Concubine Yi was praised to the sky, and she wished she could be promoted to a noble concubine immediately and give birth to a prince.
On the other hand, people in the entire harem said that there were no rules in Changle Palace and that she could not manage the servants.
The Empress had always been magnanimous, and even with Concubine Feng and her son in front of her, she did not lose her composure.
Therefore, no matter what the queen did, she followed the rules and there was no problem at all.
The more Concubine Ke Yi wanted to move up in the career ladder, the more she could not ignore her reputation.
Therefore, when Fan Guanglin arrived at Changle Palace and politely asked Zhu Li to leave, Concubine Yi could not keep him even though she was very angry.
Zhu Li knew that once he went there he would never be able to come back, so he begged desperately.
But Concubine Yi was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as Zhu Li was dragged away, Hua Shan knelt down and said, "Master! We can't do this. If he...can't bear the punishment, then..."
After all these years, who dares to say who is clean?
What if Zhu Li hates his master for not saving him and starts to make random accusations?
They say both true and false things, and people can't help but believe it.
"Didn't the Queen say that there would be no punishment?" Concubine Yi was a little short-tempered now and really hadn't thought things through.
"Master! That's what he said, but that's the Internal Criminal Department! There are so many ways to do it without causing any serious consequences! If he says something wrong, it will be the end of us." Huashan said nervously.
An Xiang raised her painted fan and said, "Don't be like this. You're making the master worry. I'll go to the Internal Criminal Department and do some work. Zhu Li is still needed. The queen cannot do without him here."
"Go ahead, don't waste the money." Concubine Yi said.
Anxiang sighed, went to get the silver and went there in person.
This time, the Internal Criminal Division made a lot of money.
Several of the masters and ladies in the harem sent silver.
Some wanted to protect Zhu Li, some wanted Zhu Li to confess something, and some...
He shook a small gold coin in his hand, which weighed five taels, enough to buy the life of a dog slave.
Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan and asked someone to send a plate of snacks to Yao Baolin, which were given by the kitchen.
"Master." Yuan Xiao came back from outside and said, "I went to ask around. Concubine Yi didn't stop him. Zhu Li asked her to take him away."
"Oh, you didn't stop me? That's very generous." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Now that everyone is saying this about her, it would be unpleasant to stop her," Zizhu said.
"If it were me, I would have stopped you." Shen Chuliu snorted, "If you can't protect your own people even when you're pregnant and in great favor, how can you protect them in the future?"
Is this a desire to be a virtuous person? Unfortunately, no one in the palace can tell whether she is truly virtuous.
I’m just afraid that if the emperor sees it, he won’t like it.
"I'm afraid Eunuch Fan will also try his best. Eunuch Zhu may not be able to come out safely." Yuan Xiao said.
"It's definitely impossible to get out." Shen Chuliu thought for a while and said, "Our people should not get in touch with them. Someone from above will take action."
"Oh, don't worry, master." Yuanxiao also understood Shen Chuliu's meaning and walked out.
"Master, do you mean... that Zhu Li is going to die in the Internal Criminal Department?" Zizhu said in a low voice.
"It's hard to say, but there must be someone who wants him dead so that they can move on to the next thing." Shen Chuliu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, no one can underestimate him."
Zizhu nodded, thinking that was indeed the case.
"Well, let's go and see the emperor. Let's prepare some..." Shen Chuliu thought for a moment and said, "Let's pick some beautiful flowers."
"Master, which flower is good?" Zizhu asked.
"Jade hairpin." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
The reason why I mentioned the jade hairpin is that there is a small piece of it outside Cuiyunxuan.
Soon, Zizhu picked the flowers back.
Shen Chuliu took the flowers and Zizhu and went to Taiji Palace.
Outside the Taiji Palace, the eunuchs were also polite when they saw her.
Just ask her to wait in the side hall. The weather is too hot, and we can't let Lady Jing be exposed to the sun, right?
Inside, Qi Yixiu had just finished some things when he saw Chusi come in and said that Jing Meiren had arrived.
"She's here?" Qi Yixiu was a little surprised: "Is there something wrong?"
"I don't know, I saw Lady Jing bringing flowers." Chusi said.
Qi Yixiu tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger: "Has the eunuch from Concubine Yi been sent to the Internal Criminal Department?"
"Your Majesty, that's right. The Queen Mother sent someone to take him away, and she also said that there would be no need for torture." These words...
"What did this person in front of you do?" Qi Yixiu asked this question with a smile on his face, as if he was sure that Shen Chuliu couldn't have done nothing.
Chusi guessed the emperor's thoughts and did not hide it: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing... was the first to send a message that Zhu Li was disrespectful to the master. It was... it was about what happened that day when Concubine Yi intercepted it."
It was impossible for him to know all these things, but he started to pay attention to them because Concubine Yi was pregnant.
Mainly because she was a beautiful woman, she didn’t intend to hide it and did it openly.
"She won't take any loss at all." Qi Yixiu laughed instead: "She is really petty."
"Ask her to the back hall." Qi Yixiu said, and stood up to wash his hands.
Chusi thought that the emperor must not be angry.
However, Lady Jing dared to smash the kitchen, so what's the big deal about cheating a few servants? When Shen Chuliu saw Qi Yixiu, she took the initiative to put the porcelain vase with flowers on the table: "Your Majesty, I came back from paying my respects this morning and saw that the flowers were in full bloom, so I picked some for Your Majesty to see."
The little concubine’s smile was much more beautiful than the pink lily in front of her.
"I am happy that my beloved concubine is thinking of me. However, I just got back this morning, and why is my beloved concubine missing me now?" Qi Yixiu teased her.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. It's not excessive for me to think about you all day long." Shen Chuliu said.
Theoretically speaking, the women in the harem should think about him all day long.
"Well, since you brought me flowers, I will treat you to lunch." Qi Yixiu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu smiled.
Qi Yixiu was tired after a whole morning, and he was not opposed to meeting the concubines.
Especially this one, who can both talk and do things.
Shen Chuliu chatted with Qi Yixiu about interesting things outside the palace.
There was no rule in the Dayi Dynasty that prohibited women from going out, but once they entered the palace, they could not leave.
In the market, men and women are very free.
So when talking about these things, Shen Chuliu felt very relaxed.
Before Qi Yixiu became emperor, he also often went out.
This makes me miss it.
"Come to think of it, I don't know if the bun shop I used to go to is still there. I was embarrassed to eat there, so I bought some buns and brought them to the teahouse. Oh, they tasted really good. Come to think of it, I once met His Royal Highness Prince Hua at that time."
Qi Yixiu looked over and said, "King Hua?"
"Yes, it was Prince Hua. I remember he was riding a white horse. It is said that the late emperor had someone go to Beiwan to buy a BMW. I think he looked very energetic."
[So why did I mention this person? 】
