Chapter 290 Dead
"Dead? Didn't say anything?" Concubine Kang De frowned.
Zhima nodded: "Yes, he said nothing, just that he was wronged. Then..."
"What a stubborn guy!" Concubine Kangde said angrily.
She had spent so much effort waiting for someone to be of use, but he died so quietly.
"I...I have asked around, and they said...they said that the eunuch had a maidservant who was in love with, and she left the palace last year. The maidservant was bullied by other maidservants, and Empress Jing Xiuyi saw her and rescued her. Because it was a small matter, it didn't get out of hand at the time. The maidservants who caused the trouble didn't dare to say anything, and most of them left the palace together last year, and only a few were left."
"Well, he is a man of affection and righteousness." Concubine Kang De took a deep breath, but there was nothing she could do.
She wanted to use this opportunity to make Jing Xiuyi suffer, but man proposes, God disposes.
It’s a pity that the dead eunuch is such a rootless thing, but he is so affectionate.
"Forget it. At least he didn't dare to say anything more. So it's fine if he dies." Concubine Kang De rubbed her head.
"Master, don't be discouraged. There will always be a chance." Zhima said.
"I'm doing this for the Third Prince. He's grown up now and is smart. How is he not better than the Second Prince? I can't help but think about him." Concubine Kangde waved her hand.
Zhima then left with a blessed look.
Jing Xiuyi didn't know that she had avoided a lot of trouble, but Zhen Jieyu began to doubt it.
But the emperor didn't say anything, and I don't know if I was just overthinking it.
But now that she is pregnant after all, a big stone in her heart has fallen, but she is also more worried.
I’m afraid something might happen to this child.
Fortunately, there was Empress Dowager Li, who was able to help a lot and ensured a safe delivery.
Although this may seem a bit incompetent, but with such benefits, you’d be a fool not to use it, right?
When the summer rewards were distributed, in addition to the share of profits, there was still a lot more.
Because there were more this year, they were not delivered to all places. They only sent a list and asked someone to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick it up.
"Is the Queen trying to avoid suspicion?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile, "Wen Xiaoyi is still pregnant, and now Concubine Zhen is pregnant too. I'm afraid there will be problems with the things that are divided. She might as well take them herself. She can decide for herself whether they are good or bad."
"What the queen said makes sense, otherwise there would have been more things in previous years. It's never like this." Zizhu said with a smile.
"It's a good idea, Your Majesty. Just don't worry about it and send someone to get it." Shen Chuliu didn't care. Since everyone was doing the same, she followed suit.
There are quite a lot of things on the list, but when we get these back, there will probably be rewards from the emperor.
Then there won’t be all of them.
Soon, Yuanxiao and Chi Su went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs together.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was busy, and the yard was full of things. People from various palaces came one after another to take them.
Holding the list, Yuan Xiao looked for the person in charge and said with a smile, "Are you busy?"
"Of course. Come on, come on. Everything in Cuiyunxuan is ready. Order some first, and then I'll find someone to go with you." The manager smiled and pulled Yuanxiao.
Yuan Xiao smiled and said, "I believe you, but this cannot be taken lightly. Let's take a look."
Yuanxiao and Chisu are here, and Baoyu is with Yao Baolin.
Baoyu knew that he was a privileged person, so he naturally did not ask for such treatment. Her Baolin's things were not put together with Jing Xiuyi's.
Naturally, there was nothing missing from Shen Chuliu's place. Everything was good, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also gave her extra fabrics and daily necessities.
The steward smiled and pulled Yuanxiao, saying this in a roundabout way: "Anyway, there are a lot of things. Our Lord Luo also knows that Cuiyunxuan has a lot of expenses. Some of these things are presented as filial piety, but you should keep them in a small amount, so that others will not see them, right?"
Yuanxiao smiled and nodded, secretly stuffing the purse into his hand.
If someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes to deliver it, shouldn't they also give a reward?
Now, in addition to the silver in the purse, there is also a twenty-tael silver note, which is naturally for Lord Luo.
The manager also had an idea in his mind, so he just divided the money among the young ones.
Naturally, there was nothing to do here, but Baoyu was a little worried.
As soon as he saw the expression, Chi Su understood: "What's wrong? What's missing? If it's not complete for now, don't worry, you can get it later."
The steward knew it as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly said, "How can it be possible? It must be complete. Miss, tell me."
"Thank you, eunuch. It's nothing. It's just that the order for this fine silk is four rolls of four colors. Maybe one of the eunuchs was in a hurry and put too much in. Now it's still four rolls, but two rolls of the same snow-blue color and two rolls of the same pink color." Baoyu smiled apologetically: "These colors are also good, but... I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them when I take them back. It's not good to make the same clothes for the whole summer, right?"
"No, no! Let's follow the list first. Um, go get all the items for Yao Baolin." The manager smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a small matter. Maybe we got the wrong ones."
Baoyu bowed quickly and stuffed the small purse into his hand with a very polite attitude.
In fact, everyone knows that the person in front was replaced.
Yao Baolin had never been favored in his life, but he was lucky. He lived in Cuiyunxuan from the beginning and managed to get close to Empress Jing Xiuyi.
Over the years, Empress Jing Xiuyi has been devoted to her and doesn't get close to anyone else, except to take care of her.
There is not much more, but the things in the share of profit are indispensable.
Soon, everything was ready and the group returned to Cuiyunxuan.
Yuanxiao also rewarded the person who accompanied him to deliver the gifts and sent him away.
Baoyu also told Yao Baolin about the matter.
"I see that the people in front are Fang Xiaoyi's people." Baoyu thought to himself that Fang Xiaoyi was really disgusting.
"Oh, luckily the queen is here, otherwise who can I go to for justice? No one will listen even if you say it." She stood up and said, "Let's go and thank the queen."
Baoyu replied yes.
In the main room, Shen Chuliu had just asked someone to carry the Sixth Prince over. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. But Fang Xiaoyi is also very capable. She doesn't dare to provoke me for big things, but disgusts me for small things? Or is she just jealous of the color you want?"
"Who knows? It's disgusting too."
Xiaoyi naturally has more things than Baolin. Isn't it disgusting to exchange the fabric you don't like for someone else's?
"Has she ever served me in bed since she came back from the palace?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Zizhu stepped forward and said, "My lord, there were a few times, and it has been more than half a year. But not many. There have been none in the past two months. Moreover, she offended the people in the kitchen when she was in the palace, and now they are not very willing to serve her."
"About the crab thing?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"Yes, it is said that she didn't have any crabs last winter. After all, there was no crab in the profit share." Zizhu said.
