After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 363: Message from the Thousand Carp Pond

Qian Rongsheng had always been very polite to Concubine Li in the past. During this period of time, Concubine Li had actually been showing signs of falling out of favor, but Qian Rongsheng's attitude had not changed at all.

"Your Highness, this is the order of His Majesty. You have served His Majesty for many years and should understand His Majesty's rules." Qian Rongsheng said softly.

Concubine Li naturally understood that it was difficult to change the emperor's orders, but she was unwilling to accept them.

The old maid who was very trusted by the imperial concubine suddenly broke free from the restraints of the young eunuchs, knelt down beside the imperial concubine, and shouted: "My lady, I am your wet nurse and have served you for so many years..."

Concubine Li's heart skipped a beat. It was okay for the others, but this nanny must not be sent away.

Although Qian Rongsheng did not say it explicitly, Taozhi had already died in the Ministry of Punishment, and more people could not be involved.

Besides, the old nanny has more things to worry about than Taozhi.

"This is my mother's family's born child. He is a member of the Li family and cannot go with you." Concubine Li tried to save the old nanny.

But Qian Rongsheng sighed. He didn't expect that the empress dowager had already anticipated what the imperial concubine would say.

"The Imperial Concubine, once she enters the palace, she becomes a palace dweller. She used to be a servant of the Li family, but now her name is also on the palace register." Qian Rongsheng said.

Imperial Concubine Li's eyes narrowed. Seeing that there was no other way, she could only insist, "I want to see Your Majesty. I want to hear Your Majesty's decree in person."

Qian Rongsheng looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty has been busy these days, so I'm afraid he won't be able to see you. Besides, this is just a small matter, so why bother to upset His Majesty? In the end, it will affect your favor."

When Concubine Li heard this, she knew that the emperor was not really busy, but just didn't want to listen to her plea.

For a moment, she couldn't figure out what went wrong. She had already persuaded the emperor, but in the end, her entire army was wiped out.

She was very confident that the Queen Mother didn't dare to mention the word "King Li" at all. She couldn't understand how the Queen Mother persuaded the Emperor?
Qian Rongsheng winked at the eunuchs around him and said, "The Imperial Concubine is still ill, help her back to bed and rest."

Two young eunuchs stepped forward and gently but unyieldingly escorted Concubine Li into the palace.

Qian Rongsheng waved his hands, and all the other servants serving in the Imperial Concubine's Palace were taken away from Guanju Palace.

As soon as he came out, he ran into Li Shunfu who was waiting there.

"Manager Qian, are all the people here?" Li Shunfu asked.

Qian Rongsheng came to bring people according to the roster and counted them one by one.

"The Empress Dowager has already given instructions, and I dare not miss anything." Qian Rongsheng said with a smile.

Li Shunfu nodded and said, "Chief Steward Qian, I have received the order from the Empress Dowager. These palace servants have failed to serve the Imperial Concubine well. Not only have they failed to give advice to her over the years, but they have also instigated her to commit many serious mistakes. All of them should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment to be interrogated for their crimes."

When the palace servants in Guanju Palace heard this, they all looked despairing.

A place like the Ministry of Punishment was notorious in the entire palace for its various punishments. It was a blessing to be carried out after walking in.

The old maid whom the imperial concubine relied on the most began to struggle violently again and wanted to run back, but both Qian Rongsheng and Li Shunfu brought strong eunuchs who would not give her any chance to escape.

"Everyone, keep your eyes open. The Empress Dowager has said that these people will be taken to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough interrogation. No mistakes must be made." Li Shunfu warned again.

As he spoke, he stuffed a handkerchief into the old woman's mouth and had her tied up tightly.

Li Shunfu thought that this old lady was just like Taozhi and Xingzhi, and they were all important people to be taken care of. The old lady's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

However, the imperial concubine in Guanju Palace was making a fuss about going out at this time.

The servants who were in charge of serving her hurriedly tried to stop her, saying, "Madam, you are not well yet. It will not be good for your health if you leave now."

The servants were afraid that the imperial concubine would make trouble again at the Ministry of Punishment.

Imperial Concubine Li turned her head, stared at a group of unfamiliar faces, and said, "Your Majesty, did you ask you to serve me, or to monitor me?"

The servants didn't dare to respond.

She continued, "I want to go to the Thousand Carp Pond for a stroll, isn't that okay? Otherwise, you guys will take over the role of Imperial Concubine!"

The servants knelt on the ground instantly, and no one dared to stop her.

The imperial concubine walked quickly into the Thousand Carp Pond, pretending to admire the fish, and all the servants who served her followed closely not far away.

The imperial concubine was full of impatience: "Don't be an eyesore here, go back to the palace and get me a cloak, bring me some snacks, and get me some tea..."

In a short period of time, Concubine Li was able to make several palace maids serving her run around in circles.

The palace maids didn't want to leave, but the imperial concubine glared at them and said, "Are you serving me, or am I serving you? Are my words no longer effective?"

Although they were asked to persuade the imperial concubine, they were ultimately just a group of servants. Besides, the imperial concubine was just watching the fish in the Thousand Carp Pond and she didn't go to the Ministry of Punishment.

In an instant, the imperial concubine's surroundings became quiet. After no one was around, the imperial concubine quickly walked to a corner of the Thousand Carp Pond and slowly threw the fish food she had brought with her into the pond water.

A group of golden carps all swarmed towards this place. Not long after, Concubine Li saw the reflection of a woman behind her on the lake.

The woman was wearing the most ordinary palace maid's clothes and her face was very ordinary, the kind that you would be hard to find if you fell into a crowd of people.

"Send a message to my eldest brother as soon as possible and tell him that the Gu family must be eliminated! Otherwise, the entire Li family will be in disaster!" Concubine Li said viciously.

The maid lowered her head and nodded, even though she didn't understand the reason. "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message to Master Li."

Concubine Li thought about it and felt that it was all because of Niuniu that she became what she is now!

During the time she was sick, she had nightmares every night, dreaming that the man had come back and was looking for her to settle the score.

Niu Niu is almost exactly the same as that person. The Gu family, which had been suppressed into the dust, is now rising again. She can only suspect that these people are here to suppress her again!

"This is my own letter. I must hand it to my eldest brother personally." Concubine Li was afraid that it was just a verbal message and Li Ziqin would not take it seriously, so she wrote another letter, sealed it with wax, and wrote down everything she had concealed over the years.

If she had not been forced into such a situation, she would not have wanted to use the man from Qianli Chi at all. He was the most secret nail connecting her to the outside world in the palace.

The palace maid was about to nod and leave when suddenly her ears moved and she heard a slight noise.

"My lady, there is a little mouse eavesdropping."

The palace maid turned around and walked quickly into the rockery nearby. After a moment, she grabbed out a little girl in pink clothes.
