He originally wanted to ask Eunuch Lin An for help in this matter. If there was anyone in the harem who could guess the emperor's intention, it would be Eunuch Lin An.
But it was Eunuch Lin who was punished.
If she stayed indoors, he would do everything he could to prevent Eunuch Lin from appearing in person.
Zhang Mingzhong smelled something was wrong.
After thinking about it, I can only ask Empress Zhao for help.
"Your Majesty, this matter concerns my life." Zhang Mingzhong kowtowed to the people below: "Even if my death is not a pity, my life can still be put to good use."
"Please, Madam Queen, please point out a way for me. Should I report this to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
The death of a concubine was no small matter. Zhang Mingzhong knew that if he didn't handle it properly, he might lose his head.
When Zhang Mingzhong thought of this, he shuddered all over. He knocked his forehead to the ground and begged, "Please, Madam, save me. I will be loyal to you and follow your lead in the future."
Chen Fu looked down.
I hesitated for a while.
Although she had the authority to manage the harem, this was a reward given to her by His Majesty, and Zhang Mingzhong was not the only one in charge of the Imperial Household Department.
But Zhang Mingzhong did help her once, and the matter of Zi Su was entirely due to Zhang Mingzhong's mediation.
"Did Eunuch Zhang spread any rumors?" Chen Fu thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "In the past half day, my husband has been out, but the whole harem knows the news that Shu Wanyi hanged herself."
"Your Majesty, I didn't say a word!" Fang Mingzhong assured hastily.
If a concubine hangs herself, that is a big deal.
If the Holy Heart is upset, it will lead to serious sins.
Ever since he saw the scar on Shu Wanyi's neck, he has been heartbroken.
How do you still have the guts to spread those rumors?
Zhang Mingzhong vowed solemnly.
Chen Fu looked at the pair of bright eyes below. The image of this eunuch Zhang as smart and capable had gradually faded.
It seems that no matter how perceptive a person is, he or she will still become confused when things concern him or her.
"Eunuch Zhang said that he didn't spread those rumors, but it's only been half a day, how come the news of Shu Wanyi's suicide has become known to everyone?"
Chen Fu took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.
Zhang Mingzhong thought that Concubine Zhao didn't believe him, and he raised his hand and almost swore: "I really didn't say anything, if you don't believe me..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Mingzhong's words got stuck in his throat.
Yeah, he didn't say a word.
Then who is this person who is being rumored all over the harem?
Zhang Mingzhong thought of something and shuddered uncontrollably.
An idea popped up in his mind uncontrollably.
"It's good that my father-in-law understands it." Chen Fu looked at Zhang Mingzhong's expression as he suddenly reacted, then gently lowered her head.
"Your Majesty has no objection. If that's the case, then there's no need for you to get involved."
Zhang Mingzhong's heart skipped a beat: "I understand clearly, there are no finger marks on Shu Wanyi's neck, they are the marks left by hanging herself."
Sure enough, it was clear at once.
Chen Fu smiled and said, "The father-in-law knows it clearly, but the other seven people are unaware and don't know it."
Zhang Mingzhong lowered his head, bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth, and immediately smelled a hint of blood in his mouth.
He lowered his head and swallowed it bit by bit.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will keep my mouth shut."
As for the seven people, he lowered his head, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes: "As for the rest of you, you have the same mouth as me."
Zhang Mingzhong is indeed worthy of being the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.
Chen Fu looked at Zhang Mingzhong's expression and smiled: "I will pretend I don't know about the news that Eunuch Zhang came to me the other day."
Concubine Zhao didn't want to be involved in this dirty business.
Zhang Ming knew what was going on and knew that Concubine Zhao's reminder was because of their past relationship.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
After he walked out of the palace, he realized that his back was soaked. A cold wind blew outside the door, carrying ice and snow.
Zhang Mingzhong suddenly felt a chill.
Raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his arm, Zhang Mingzhong sighed sincerely:
"Thank you, Empress Zhao."
*******
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity
It was quiet outside, with only the sound of falling snow outside the window.
Behind the plaque "Zhengda Guangming", the charcoal fire in the gilded stove was burning vigorously, and crackling sounds could be heard from the stove from time to time.
The young eunuch Xiao Baozi curled up on the ground. When the fire basket in the hall lit up, he felt so sleepy that he kept dozing off.
Little Baozi almost fell asleep listening to the sound of the charcoal fire burning.
When he lowered his head, he shuddered and looked behind him quickly.
Inside the room, His Majesty was lying on the bed. His Majesty has been sleeping ever since he came back from Concubine Zhao's place early in the morning.
After a whole day, the water and rice were eaten.
Just don't let anyone disturb you.
Outside, the news of Shu Wanyi's death was spreading like wildfire. Eunuch Lin was being punished. He had watched for five or six times throughout the day, but the Emperor was always asleep, and he did not dare to go up and disturb him.
When Ruo heard the voice, Xiao Baozi's eyes lit up and he quickly bent over and went into the house: "Your Majesty?"
The noises in the house became lighter and it was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.
He thought he had misheard the voice just now. The little treasure paused and was about to turn his head.
At this time, the person on the bed murmured: "Afu..."
Who is His Majesty calling?
On the bed, Xiao Yu was trapped in a nightmare.
He saw himself standing in the room, and the layout around the hall looked somewhat familiar.
But he couldn't figure out where this was.
Xiao Yu retracted his gaze and walked towards the bed in front of him.
The charming panting sounds could be heard from the bed from time to time.
It was not until he walked onto the bed with floating cloud and dragon patterns that he saw a man and a woman entangled inside.
But he couldn't see the faces of the people inside.
The room was extremely dark, the candlelight flickered and I couldn't see clearly. I only felt like there was a thin layer of mist between us.
The woman's face suddenly became clear, and a moment later it was Shen Fu.
A moment later, Shu Wanyi seemed to be having a secret affair with someone.
It flickered like a candle flame, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Your Highness..." Until a rapid, charming panting sound came from inside.
The voice seemed to be unable to hold back. He just took a breath and subconsciously bit his lips again.
It’s Shen Fu!
The person on the bed is Shen Fu!
Xiao Yu watched helplessly as the two figures on the bed entangled with each other.
Who is it!
Xiao Yu stood beside the bed, strode over, stretched out his hand and forcefully pulled open the curtain.
He wanted to see who the man with Shen Fu was!
