Empress, she is the darling of the Emperor's hand

Chapter 1077 Someone moved again 12
It was already early October, and the night was already cold. Even if the emperor had no restrictions, he had heavy mats under his feet and a fur coat on his body last night.But after kneeling all night, the two concubines were about to faint from exhaustion.

As soon as they entered the Long Ao Palace, Concubine Huan and Concubine Zhu knelt down in front of the emperor and could not get up. At the same time, they could not restrain their urgency and spoke with trembling voices:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... I am so stupid. I wonder why your Majesty punished me for kneeling in front of the Long Ao Palace?"

The two of them managed the harem, and until the emperor divided the power in half and gave them to them, their status in the harem was very high.

I don’t know what happened, but the emperor suddenly made the two of them kneel in front of the Long Ao Palace all night without any explanation? !

This is a very severe punishment, and it implies a disregard for the concubine's status and dignity.

At this time, Concubine Huan and Concubine Zhu did not care about losing face in front of the harem, but asked the emperor in panic as soon as they came in.

Both of their faces were pale, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat, and their upper bodies were barely able to support themselves.

The emperor lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I met an eunuch on the palace road last night who wanted to forcefully bully a concubine. He was a Lingcai man from Ouhe Palace. He told me when he met me that I had a long time. Without the harem, the slaves in the harem can cover up the sky with one hand and control the concubines."

The emperor paused and asked directly: "I am not in the harem, but I have ordered you two to manage the harem. If such a ridiculous thing can happen, are you two dead?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Huan and Concubine Zhu looked at each other, with a panic in their eyes that others could not see.

The two of them paused for a moment, and immediately began to explain their differences with a straight face, "Your Majesty, I forgive you...I am guilty, because something like this happened in the harem...But Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused, and I don't know what happened in the harem." There is such a thing, the concubines live in different palaces, some concubines with low status do not often go out of the palace where they live, and the ministers and concubines don't know what happened."

"Moreover, Your Majesty, no one has reported this matter to the concubines... The concubines don't know who gave the slaves such great convenience and cooperated with the slaves to force the concubines... It is the fault of the concubines, the concubines It’s an oversight, but your Majesty and I really don’t know.”

The two concubines kicked the ball out.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Huan and Concubine Zhu, and instead of pursuing the case first, he asked people to bring in people from some departments in the palace who were found to have colluded with the eunuch and cooperated with the eunuch.

The imperial guards escorted the people up. Concubine Huan and Concubine Zhu temporarily stepped aside. They looked at each other again, with some meaning in their eyes.

"Go back to your Majesty," Major General Gao entered the palace overnight last night. At this time, he was leading people and reported to the emperor when he came in: "Your Majesty, last night I led people to conduct a rigorous interrogation and found out that the deputy of the imperial kitchen in the palace was The general manager, the dressmaker in the Weaving Department, the third steward in the Palace Affairs Department, and the two eldest ladies in the palace all had private contacts with the eunuch Dali in the harem, and secretly cooperated with the eunuch Dali, allowing the eunuch Dali to get stuck in the lower position. Concubine status, thereby forcing some concubines."

The imperial guards escorted the people up. Several of them looked frightened and fell to their knees as soon as they came in. They kowtowed to the emperor and kept saying that they were wronged and spared their lives.

The emperor's face was still calm and he said: "Although the palace is empty, there is no palace for the prince and princess, and there is no East Palace, Queen Mother Palace and Queen Fengyi Palace to serve, so only the harem is left, and the various ministers in the palace have close ties with the harem. Some. But, the departments in the palace are the departments in the palace, not the departments of the harem! Where do you have the reason to interfere with the affairs of the harem and cooperate with the eunuchs of the harem to persecute the concubines? "
