Chapter 332: Rumors are spread regardless of time All the embroiderers from

the Clothing Bureau - the

Clothing Office gathered in the main hall. Fang Rumeng, wearing a purple court dress, stood on the high platform in front with a stern look in her eyes.

The embroiderers were confused and whispered to each other: "Why did Fang Siyi call us all here? The Royal Concubine's phoenix robe is still short of a few stitches!"

"A new official has three things to do upon taking office. She was just appointed as the Siyi, so of course she wants to show off. The phoenix robe is still short of a few stitches, so she won't lose anything by asking us to stay up late. We are under her roof and have to bow our heads."

"You can't say that. Fang Siyi is really talented. She dyed the Xiaguang satin that can rival the Fuguangjin. Our Siyi room is much better than the Sizhen room. Fang Siyi has indeed taught us more than the previous Siyi!"

"Yes, there is a reason why the Royal Concubine favors her. She has some real skills."

"Just flatter her and see if she will promote you to be female historians or wardrobe managers?"

"You..."

"Be quiet!"

Fang Rumeng already had a large number of followers. She just stood there to shock the crowd. If there were any unnecessary words, others would say them for her.

Several female historians walked into the embroiderers with rulers in their hands. As they walked, some of them explained the purpose of gathering them today: "I believe you have heard about the incident that happened in Yanqing Palace some time ago. Now the Royal Concubine wants to find out who made the shoes, socks and clothes for the women in the dumb slave room? If you tell me now, Fang Siyi will not mind you taking private jobs in your spare time. But if you don't confess now and are found out, according to the rules, you will be beaten with a stick and sent home."

"Do you want to let the past go, or are you worried that your extra income will be discovered one day and you will be driven out of the palace in disgrace? It all depends on you."

Some of the embroiderers looked normal, some felt guilty, and some didn't care.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two trembling and abnormal embroiderers in the crowd were pushed to the ground by the ladies: "What are you afraid of? Those clothes that belonged to Lu Yin and were found in the dumb slave room were all made by you?"

Otherwise, why are you so nervous?

All the embroiderers didn't want to get into trouble. After the two of them were pushed out, they scattered to the sides, leaving the two in the center.

Fang Rumeng then spoke: "Do you want to tell it yourselves, or do you want me to find someone from the Suspense Department to interrogate? I heard that the Suspense Department transported the piranha from Yanqing Palace into their dungeon. Do you want to try the feeling of having your flesh and blood eaten by a piranha?"

The two embroiderers were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy: "Director Fang, please spare our lives. We... we didn't know that dumb slave was a perverted murderer! He gave us some gold and silver, saying that he wanted to make some clothes and socks for Lu Yin. Lu Yin was a senior palace maid of Concubine De, and we just thought he wanted to please Lu Yin. Fortunately, he helped to please Concubine De. We are not his accomplices."

Case solved!

Those clothes were not stolen by the mute slave from Lu Yin, but he asked someone to make them for Lu Yin.

These two embroiderers did not come from well-off families. They had finally passed the selection to enter the palace. They probably wanted to supplement their family expenses, so they took private jobs in their spare time.

Fang Rumeng helped them up: "Why didn't you tell us when the Suspense Department investigated the case?"

The embroiderers burst into tears: "We...we are afraid. He...he killed so many people. What if...what if he arrested us as accomplices? I heard that the punishment of the Suspense Department is terrible. It will...it will kill people."

How could little embroiderers like them, who have no identity or background and no power, dare to admit that they had contact with the mute slave?

"Giving shoes, socks and clothes to a woman, isn't that still a perversion? He's old enough to be Lu Yin's father, an old eunuch, and he dares to covet the maidservant beside the Empress Defei. Lu Yin is really unlucky enough. She was killed for rejecting the courtship of an old eunuch."

"I think the maids in the palace have been avoiding the eunuchs recently! They are afraid of being spotted and will be killed if they refuse to be their partner, right?"

"It's too terrible. The Empress Defei is so pitiful. She was stabbed by the old eunuch. Yesterday I saw the Empress Defei being moved out of Hexi Palace. It was the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who carried her on a stretcher."

"Why did I hear that she was driven out by Xi Que? My God, I don't even admire the Royal Concubine, I admire Xi Que, really, she is so awesome!"

"Isn't it because the Royal Concubine is backing her up? If she didn't have such a good master, do you think she would dare to do it? She doesn't even know how she died!"

Those who always disobeyed Jiang Xinyue had to admit that she was an unparalleled good master. When

the maidservant beside Concubine Li was beaten with frost, she went to the door directly with frost. At that time, she was not the Royal Concubine yet!

As a servant, don't you hope to meet a master who protects her?

When people look at Fang Rumeng again, it is not difficult to understand why she has been loyal to the Royal Concubine from beginning to end.

Two and a half years later, she was promoted to the position of the head of the Clothing Department, which is something that ordinary people dare not even think about. If it were not for the promotion of the Imperial Concubine, she would not be able to sit in this position even if she had great ability .

If you don’t have enough qualifications and no background, you have to work hard to gain qualifications.

The two embroidered girls went to the Suspended Mirror Department and reported the truth of the matter. In the afternoon, the palace spread that Lu Yin hooked up with the dumb slave, cheated all his money but didn’t stay with him, so she angered the dumb slave and pushed her down the mountain to death.

In response to this, Jiang Xinyue said that as expected, making up dirty rumors about girls would happen in any era, and this is the evil of human nature itself.

They can have all kinds of stories about a eunuch, and if it was a guard, who knows what kind of rumors would be spread.

However, everyone was just having fun watching what happened on Lu Yin, and they didn't pay too much attention to it. What everyone was most concerned about was the Sixth Prince.

It was said that he had caught a cold and was quite ill. Before, the Sixth Prince's wet nurse would take the Sixth Prince out for a walk every day, but she hadn't been seen in the past few days.

The palace servants had already received the news that the Emperor would hold a ceremony to crown the Queen in two days, and the phoenix robe had already been embroidered.

The altar at the Suyi Gate was also being arranged, and the civil and military officials had already received news of the auspicious day calculated by Qintianjian.

Time was running out, and even if someone wanted to object, it was too late to speak out.

The Emperor was now very cunning, leaving no room for the court officials to refute, catching them off guard.

The ceremony of crowning the queen is imminent, but the Sixth Prince is so seriously ill at this time, which is not a good sign.

Maybe in order to take care of the Sixth Prince, the ceremony of crowning the queen will have to be postponed.

The few days of postponement were enough for Concubine De and the Chengguo Mansion to do a lot of things.
