Chapter 396 Framed
"Then your Majesty must be careful." Yao Baolin said.
"Be careful. I have never been soft-hearted." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, everyone helped Shen Chuliu change clothes first.
"Master, the Pei family outside sent a message saying that they want to come in to see you." Jimei said.
"Well, let's ask grandma and the others to come tomorrow. Is everything OK?" Shen Chuliu said.
"I don't think he's in any trouble. I guess it's because of the previous epidemic. Are you worried?" Jimei said.
"Okay." Shen Chuliu waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
In fact, she still doesn't feel close to the Pei family, she just has a good impression of them.
After all, we didn't meet each other when we were children, so we are just slightly better than strangers.
She knew that was her mother's hometown, but she didn't even remember her mother, let alone her family.
Shen Chuliu didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly, something happened in Cuiyunxuan before the next day.
In Cuiyunxuan, a lot of staff have been added since Shen Chuliu became Zhaoyi.
There are now ten maids belonging to Shen Chuliu, and there is also a Nanny Zhang, even if there are eleven of them, they can all get close.
There were not enough eunuchs, only eight. However, in Cuiyunxuan, there were still many eunuchs and palace maids who did rough work, and they could be considered to be under the supervision of Shen Chuliu.
At night, the eunuch Wang Sancai from Cuiyunxuan died in Luming Lake.
When the news came, Shen Chuliu had just laid down.
Yuan Xiao said through a door: "He said he jumped in by himself. Now the people from the Internal Criminal Department are there, so I can't get through."
"Yeah. I'll get up right away." Shen Chuliu shook his head. What was going on?
She stood up amid the worried looks of her servants. She had just put on her clothes and had not had time to do her makeup when she saw people from the Internal Criminal Department arriving.
"master."
"Call him in." Shen Chuliu said lightly.
Zhu Xulin, the chief of the Internal Criminal Department, stepped forward to pay his respects, not daring to look at Shen Chuliu for too long: "Hello, Empress Zhaoyi. I have been ordered to search the residence of Wang Sancai."
"I think so. You don't mind if my people go with you, right?" Shen Chuliu said.
The only thing that could directly alert the Internal Criminal Department to conduct a search was something that was discovered on Wang Sancai.
"Of course. I'll go right away." Zhu Xulin was also afraid that the queen would not agree. Now that he saw that she was easy to talk to, he naturally didn't mind taking her people along.
Yuanxiao, Yinhu and Zizhu are all gone.
Wang Sancai lived in a remote place behind Cuiyunxuan. Because he was a eunuch doing menial work, he could not have a very good living place.
There was a foul smell as soon as he entered. He didn't live alone but with other people.
Zhu Xulin and the eunuchs from the Internal Criminal Department moved his things out to the yard and slowly checked them. When they picked up the pillow, they felt something was wrong, so they took it apart.
There was an extremely rough wooden box inside.
Zizhu and the others became nervous.
After prying open the box, several letters and banknotes were found inside.
"Check it carefully." Zhu Sizheng put the thing away completely.
Zizhu and the others had nothing to say. If a eunuch who only did menial work had so many silver notes, there must be something fishy going on.
Zhu Sizheng did not dare to search Cuiyunxuan directly, but he still came to the main hall and said, "Please forgive me, Madam Jing Zhaoyi, I am afraid I will have to temporarily surround Cuiyunxuan."
"Let's surround them. Let's send my people to Fengzao Palace to tell them first. It looks like we won't be able to pay our respects tomorrow. You can search them first and then let them out." Shen Chuliu said.
"No need. How dare I stop Your Majesty? It's just that people in Cuiyunxuan do need to be careful when entering and leaving." Zhu Sizheng said hurriedly.
"That's good, Zizhu, you go." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
"Just investigate, Zhu Si Zheng. It's getting late now, and the emperor will probably not come to me just for the death of a eunuch. I'll go to bed first, and we'll talk about everything tomorrow morning." Shen Chuliu said.
Zhu Sizheng was surprised by her calmness, so he had to agree: "Yes, Madam, please have a rest."
After entering the inner room, Zizhu whispered, "Master, are you okay?"
"What's the matter? Hasn't this been arranged long ago? It's not me harming others, it's someone who can't wait to harm me." Shen Chuliu sneered.
Zi Rui nodded and suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot about the old lady of the Pei family..."
"It's okay. I'll ask Zhu Sizheng to pass the message to the Pei family. It's just a little scary." Shen Chuliu smiled and waved her hand: "Go to sleep."
Shen Chuliu quickly closed her eyes. She was not worried at all because she had given Shen Biyu countless chances.
Unfortunately, Shen Biyu still chose this path.
She has never been a kind person. Since her cousin is not convinced, then... let's give it a try.
In fact, she didn't hate Shen Biyu, everyone wanted to live a good life. It can only be said that whoever loses this game should admit it.
No words were spoken that night.
As expected, Qi Yixiu did not take care of the matter at night. The next day, he went to court first and dealt with many official matters. He did not have time to take care of it until almost noon.
"How is Cuiyunxuan?"
"In reply to the emperor, I asked this morning and was told that Zhu Sizheng stopped Cuiyunxuan last night. Empress Jing Zhaoyi only sent someone to Fengzao Palace to ask for leave. But today, the people from the Pei family entered the palace and were stopped." Chusi said.
"Oh? What about Concubine Jing?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Your Majesty, Empress Zhaoyi had her meal as usual this morning, but she sent someone to Ruiqing Palace in the morning to tell the Sixth Prince not to come today." Chusi was full of admiration. She was so calm about such a big thing.
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "In that case, let's wait until she has lunch. Let's go. I will go to Fengzao Palace to have lunch. Inform all the palaces to come to Fengzao Palace after lunch."
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu had lunch and changed clothes before going to Fengzao Palace.
She wore a rose-red gown with a beige skirt underneath, and her slender waist was tied with a pearl-studded belt. She had her hair in a beautiful bun.
It was also decorated with a set of red gold, white jade and agate hairpins and rings.
Gently brush across the eyebrows, making the brow peaks sharp and the tails of the eyebrows raised.
The eyeliner made her eyes look sharp and seductive. She hadn't done that in a long time.
The way he was dressed didn't look like he was going to clarify things, but rather like he was going to inquire about a crime.
Everyone has arrived at Fengzao Palace.
Shen Chuliu came in and paid his respects to the emperor and empress, and also to several concubines.
Concubine Qian couldn't wait: "Jing Zhaoyi, you have done such a treasonous thing, and you still have the mood to dress up!"
"According to palace rules, it is not appropriate to meet the emperor if one's appearance is not tidy. I don't know what I did wrong. As for the matter, the emperor and the queen have not yet tried it. How come Concubine Qian has convicted me?" Shen Chuliu sneered: "Concubine Qian is really powerful."
"Hmph, I won't talk much to you, but you just keep talking back." Concubine Qian shook her sleeves and sneered.
Shen Chuliu looked up and said, "I don't know what Zhu Sizheng found. Your Majesty, please tell me."
Qi Yixiu smiled and asked someone to bring the letters and banknotes to her.
Shen Chuliu took it and took a look: "It turned out to be a letter to Concubine Yang."
