Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 34 Don't mess it up
Hu Rong was furious, staring at the oval-faced maid and said coldly:

"Your superior is still talking to me. When will it be your turn as a palace maid to report to me?"

"Secretary Guo, you still need to discipline these people under your command who don't know the rules."

Hu Rong's anger not only frightened the other officials in the laundry department into silence.

Even the oval-faced palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale.

She never expected that her determination to report Su Lian not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also angered Hu Shangyi.

This frightened the oval-faced palace maid so much that her legs began to tremble involuntarily.

Guo Min sneered at the oval-faced maid, then replied to Hu Rong:
"Don't worry, Shangyi. I will definitely discipline this palace maid from now on."

Obviously, Guo Min has been angered by the oval-faced palace maid, and she will definitely not let her go easily.

This frightened the oval-faced palace maid so much that she couldn't help but tremble all over.

She began to regret it.

If I had known this earlier, I would never have thought of taking revenge on Su Lian.

Now, she is in big trouble.

At this time.

Hu Rong came to Su Lian and praised her approvingly:

"Being able to take the initiative to work all night is indeed diligent and commendable."

"Being able to know that Yufu Palace urgently needs clothes for the banquet and to be concerned about the Imperial Concubine's needs, loyalty is rare."

"There are such diligent and conscientious people in the laundry department. They are truly worthy of being role models. I will recommend such role models to my superiors in the future."

"Guo Qianshu has cultivated such a talent, which shows that he has a good way of discipline."

Su Lian was still confused.

what happened?

what did I do?
Who is this person?
She just took a nap out of laziness, so why was she praised by a female official who seemed to hold a high position when she woke up?

she wanted to ask.

But Guo Min pinched her secretly, signaling her to shut up.

The others were all surprised.

The development of this situation... is simply unbelievable!
Hu Shangyi, who has always been strict and can even be said to be intolerant of the slightest grain of sand in her eyes, actually favors the little palace maid who made a mistake?

Even... he said he wanted to recommend it to someone higher up?!

Hu Shangyi has always been cautious in her words and actions and never makes boasts easily.

If she really does this, it means that Su Lian has a bright future!
What exactly is Hu Shangyi trying to do?
What qualifications does Su Lian have to be recommended by Hu Shangyi?
It doesn't make sense at all!

The officials of the laundry department were all smart people. They seemed to understand the situation quickly and began to flatter Hu Shangyi, saying that his words were wise.

The palace maids were all completely confused.

As for the oval-faced palace maid, she was completely dumbfounded.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out why things turned out like this?

Just when everyone was still confused.

Hu Rong briefly lectured everyone and then left.

She came suddenly and left casually.

No one understood why she suddenly came to the laundry.

As soon as Hu Rong left, the officials from the laundry department came to Su Lian again to praise her, and then dispersed.

in situ.

Only Guo Min was left, staring at the group of palace maids with a cold expression:
"Yes, everything is fine."

"No one woke up Su Lian, right? Everyone ignored my words, didn't they?"

"After you finish washing clothes today, you will all kneel facing the wall all night!"

The palace maids trembled all over and almost cried.

How could they bear to kneel down for a whole night?
I originally wanted to laugh at Su Lian, but I didn't expect that I would suffer in the end.

Guo Min stared coldly at the oval-faced palace maid again:

"Okay, you slut, you deliberately want to embarrass me in front of Hu Shangyi, right?"

The oval-faced palace maid was so frightened by Guo Min's murderous gaze that she could not hold on any longer.

She wanted an explanation.

She wanted to tell her aunt that she was not targeting her, but wanted to bring bad luck to Su Lian.

But her chattering teeth made her unable to utter a word.

Guo Min gnashed his teeth and said:
"Go get the lock yourself."

This simple sentence scared the oval-faced palace maid almost to death.

The other palace maids were also frightened and kept silent.

There are many punishments for palace maids in the palace.

Dunsuo was one of them. The so-called Dunsuo was to lock the palace maids in a small wooden box and not give them food for several days until they were almost starving to death.

This punishment is very dangerous. If you are not careful, the palace maid will starve to death before she can be rescued.

Even if he could get out of the lock alive, he would be half dead.

"Auntie! Spare me!"

"I was blinded by greed. I was wrong. Please spare my life!"

"Su Lian, I will never dare to target you again. Please help me say something to my aunt!"

The oval-faced palace maid could no longer stand and fell to the ground, crying.

She was regretting it so much at this moment.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and she is destined to take responsibility for her impulsiveness.

Guo Min just snorted coldly and waved indifferently.

Two burly eunuchs came over and roughly dragged the oval-faced palace maid away.

Her cries and screams lasted so long that it made people feel miserable when they stopped.

All the palace maids were terrified.

Only Su Lian was still confused.

She had no idea how this oval-faced palace maid had offended her aunt.
To the point of suffering such terrible punishment.

What does this have to do with myself?
However, Guo Min had already pulled Su Lian away.

She brought Su Lian back to her residence, and after closing the door, she smiled and said:

"Su Lian, Hu Shangyi always keeps her word. She praised you today and said she would recommend you. You have a bright future in the future."

"Aunt is also benefiting from you this time. She is almost leaving the palace and still gets some benefits."

"My aunt will no longer be in this palace. Hu Shangyi will be your support and dependant. You must respect her more in the future."

Guo Min is already in her thirties and can no longer stay in the palace for much longer.

But Su Lian was naturally not concerned about this issue and was still confused.

"Aunt, I don't understand..."

She asked out her doubts.

There are so many things Su Lian doesn't understand.

She regretted so much that she was lazy and slept in. She was like a fool now and had no idea what happened while she was sleeping.

Guo Min smiled slightly and said:

"It's normal that you don't understand."

"When she reaches Hu Shangyi's level, she often won't explain clearly when she needs to ask someone to do something."

"She will reward you and give you opportunities. But you must be able to understand and understand her hints."

what?
Su Lian was even more confused.

From what my aunt said, Hu Shangyi has something to do on her own?
But I am just a small laundry supervisor. How can I be qualified to work for Hu Shangyi?
Seeing that Su Lian still didn't understand, Guo Min explained helplessly:

"Ah, with a mind like yours, it would be better for you to work in the laundry department. If you are really recommended by Hu Shangyi, I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse."

"Let me explain it to you a little more clearly."

"Hu Shangyi's hometown is Qingzhou Prefecture, and many people in her family have also been infected with the disease."

"Now, do you understand?"

Su Lian finally understood now.

It turned out that Hu Shangyi encountered the same situation as her aunt. Both of them had a plague in their hometown and were in urgent need of medical treatment and medicine.

Yes, this is the only useful thing a small character like me can do.

Then Su Lian asked doubtfully:

"But aunt, Hu Shangyi is such a high-ranking official, it shouldn't be difficult for him to ask someone to bring some medicine home, right?"

Although Aunt Guo Min is very powerful in the laundry bureau, she is just a small official in general and has no power outside the laundry bureau.

But Hu Shangyi is different.

With just one word from her, countless people inside and outside the palace wanted to curry favor with her.

Guo Min raised his hand and knocked Su Lian on the head in annoyance:
"If I say you're stupid, you really are. This is certainly not a difficult thing for Hu Shangyi."

"But the fact that she still needs your help means that all her methods have failed."

"Strangely enough, the plague in Qingzhou this time is extremely difficult to cure. Only the medicine your relatives sent is miraculous and can cure the disease immediately."

"Write to your relatives as soon as possible and seize this opportunity. Once you seize it, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the palace."

At the end, Guo Min's tone became serious again, and he emphasized:

"This matter must be done well, not messed up!"

"If you mess up, not only will you be in trouble, but I, your aunt, will be in trouble too. Do you understand?"

Su Lian could only nod and say "oh oh" to deal with it.
