Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 38
Since Qi changed her clothes and returned to the empress, she has never been short of money, the food she eats is clean and delicious, and her clothes have become more gorgeous.

The people in the Cangzhu Palace are either flattering or flattering, which greatly satisfies Qi Changyi's vanity.

The queen woke up early on purpose to talk to her before everyone greeted her.

Xia Chan stood guard at the door, leaving the Queen and Qi Changyi alone in the inner hall.

The queen's voice was calm and her expression was calm. Qi Changyi recalled an old saying that the storyteller said when he went into the shop with his grandfather to drink tea when he was a child: "He whose heart is treacherous and whose face is as flat as a lake, can worship the general."

The Queen's Palace is very deep, no matter whether she is happy, angry, or sad, she always has the same expression, Qi Changyi glanced at her timidly, and then quickly lowered his head.

"You should pay more attention to the matter of the stage, and Gu Yinwei will report it in time if there is anything unusual."

"The concubine understands." Qi Changyi lowered his head, bowed his waist and exited.

Xia Chan lifted the curtain to send her out, and when she came back, she said, "Queen, Qi changes clothes timidly, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."

"Of course I know that she is useless, I use her to confuse Gu Yinwei's sight, the real ultimate move I have other arrangements.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Get ready, I'm going to meet Concubine Rou and Concubine Huang later."

The gate of Jingyang Palace was closed tightly, and there were seven guards with knives standing outside. The guards stood upright and stared ahead.

The queen got off the soft sedan chair, and the guards stepped forward and knelt down to pay respects.

"For a humble job, see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

"I want to go in and see Concubine Rou."

Commander Guan seemed a little embarrassed. The guards didn't receive orders and didn't retreat a step. Xia Chan said angrily: "Bold, don't retreat."

Xia Chan was majestic, and the queen had a gloomy face.

Commander Guan had no choice but to back off and let the queen go in.

The gate of Jingyang Palace was locked, gardeners couldn't get in, and the rows of gardenias were withered and yellow. The maids and eunuchs didn't know how to grow flowers, they only knew how to water the roots of gardenia trees.

The maids watered the gardenias originally to save the gardenias, but because they watered too much, the roots of the gardenias were ruined by the water and withered faster.

Concubine Rou spread a thick woolen blanket on the floor, and she sat on the floor holding the wine jug to drink.

Seeing the queen come in, she stood up tremblingly, and kicked over several jugs while walking.

Since confinement, Concubine Rou was too lazy to wash up, drank too much and went to bed late, she looked very haggard.

She smelled of alcohol all over her body, which made the queen back away again and again.

"Concubine Rou, you used to be so beautiful, why are you a beggar woman now?"

Concubine Rou hugged the wine jar, unkempt, and laughed: "Hahaha, I must be dreaming again, and the queen is also in my dream, hahaha."

Concubine Rou continued to go crazy with alcohol, and she couldn't listen to a word the queen talked to her.

"My sister doesn't go out of the palace, so I don't know how lively the harem is, Xia Chan, please tell Concubine Rou what happened in the harem recently.

Xia Chan talked eloquently, "My servant is stupid, please don't be disgusted with Concubine Rou, this servant chooses something important to say."

"The emperor recently found a caring person. This person is Gu Changyi from the Cangzhu Palace. The emperor also gave her the Jiaofang Palace to live in. No matter how busy the business is, the emperor still takes time to accompany Gu Changyi."

Concubine Rou pretended to be deaf and dumb, and continued to drink with her wine gourd.

Going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, the queen's visit today is nothing more than wanting to stir up the previous enmity between her and Gu Yinwei, so that they can kill each other.

But the current concubine Rou is no longer the former concubine Rou. Seeing Ning Heyu's death, she understood many things and made her cherish life even more.

The queen returned in vain, and once again went to Qionghua Palace to lobby the imperial concubine.

The same words, the same rhetoric, the queen said it again to the imperial concubine. After listening to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine remained silent for a long time, her eyes seemed to spew out flames.

The queen's purpose this time was to fan the flames, and now that the flames had been lit, she quickly withdrew and left.

The imperial concubine has accumulated a lot of connections over the years, although she can't get out of Qionghua Palace, she can still trip Gu Yinwei.

……

Gu Yinwei had a fulfilling life these days. Apart from going to Lanyue Pavilion to supervise her meritorious deeds, she also helped Chuchu find cats.

Wei Junzhai hadn't seen anyone since the last time he went to Jiaofang Hall to ask for a cup of tea.

Chuchu is even more certain that the national teacher stole her cat.

The three masters and servants stood side by side, the eunuchs brought in the saplings to plant, and Gu Yinwei also changed into light clothes and went in to plant flowers.

Chu Chu squatted on the ground making clay figurines, and Pian Tao wanted to build a swing in the yard.

The gardeners planted the carefully selected flower seeds one by one, and everyone stood outside the fenced courtyard. The green hills in the distance were faintly visible. Gu Yinwei whispered softly, "Under the wall of the flower planting palace, you can see the green hills leisurely."

Chu Chu corrected: "Master, seeing Nanshan leisurely is not seeing Qingshan leisurely."

Piantao picked up a clay figurine and said with a smile, "Whether you see Nanshan or Qingshan, you can take care of yourself."

Everyone laughed for a while, but suddenly there was a voice outside.

Pian Tao got up to greet her, she knew the person who sent the message, this person was Xiaotao, the court lady next to Guo Sizhen.

"Aunt Biantao, Aunt Chu Chu, Guo Sizhen is here to invite you."

Guo Yinwei quickly collected clues about Guo Sizhen in his mind. Guo Sizhen, whose real name was Guo Mo'er, was the imperial concubine's distant aunt.

She got these clues from reading the picture book at the beginning, but it's a pity that she didn't finish the picture book, otherwise her road to the harem must be very smooth.

She insisted that she had no grievances with the imperial concubine, why did the other party take the initiative to find fault?
Could it be that someone fanned the flames and deliberately provoked trouble? This person must be a high-ranking person, otherwise he would not be able to see the imperial concubine who was grounded.

"Chuchu, Tongtao, I'll go with you."

The maid who sent the message hesitated for a moment, seeing Gu Yinwei's resolute attitude, she did not refute.

She led the way first, and Gu Yinwei's master and servant followed behind her.

In a tea room of the Shanggong Bureau, Guo Sizhen prepared bamboo sticks, killing power sticks and other instruments of torture.

The court lady beat Guo Sizhen's legs, and Guo Sizhen admired her hands with her orchid finger. Guo Zhusi is only 32 years old, but her skin is firm and her complexion is ruddy.

Although she is a slave in name, she lives more comfortably than her master.

"When the little hoofs come, first beat them with killing sticks, and then use bamboo sticks to pierce their hands. Under torture, I will see if they plead guilty."

As soon as Gu Yinwei arrived at the door, when she heard such words, she was secretly glad that she had followed, otherwise, today, Tian Tao and Chu Chu would have to peel off their skins even if they were not dead.

Chu Chu, Almond straightened up, her breathing was rapid, obviously frightened.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gu Yinwei's words were soft but powerful.

With her encouragement, the two crossed the threshold hand in hand.

When Guo Sizhen saw the two of them, she immediately shouted: "The murderer is here, hit me quickly."

"You two lowly slaves, hurry up and kneel down."

Guo Sizhen had a fierce look on her face and a sonorous tone of voice. Others would have been frightened to kneel down by her aura, but the two of them did not kneel.

Feng Tao straightened her back and Chu Chu clenched her teeth. Although the two were nervous, they did not show timidity.

"Dare to ask Guo Sizhen, what mistake did Chuchu and I make?"

"How dare you ask, you are violating the palace rules and smuggling purses. It is a big mistake."

"Come here, hit twenty sticks first."

When Chu Chu heard this, her body trembled, and she almost fell to her knees. Ting Tao held her arm to help her stand still.

"What proof do you have?" asked Almond.

"Of course I have. Xiaoqiu from Qionghua Palace is the evidence. Since she bought your purse, she has been coughing all day long and is bedridden with her life hanging by a thread. What do you have to deny?"

Chu Chu and Bian Tao didn't speak, Guo Sizhen thought they were scared, and shouted, "Pierce their hands with bamboo sticks."

Two strong maidservants stepped forward, and Gu Yinwei walked in from the threshold.

"Guo Sizhen has great official authority."
