The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 16

"master!"

The thick and quiet night in Diyuan City was torn apart by Chu Jin's heart-piercing roar.

At the same time that Chu Yue was grounded, most of the people in Yaohua Palace were sent to the Four Executive Treasurys to serve as errands. Apart from Chu Jin and Shanhu, only one eunuch in charge, Sanfu, remained in Yaohua Palace.

Late at night when the incident happened, Shan Hu and San Fu both rested in their respective verandahs, and were suddenly awakened by Chu Jin's scream, and then faintly heard mournful cries from the bedroom.

When the two rushed there, they saw a white silk hanging from the beam of the dormitory. Chu Yue's neck was hanging on it, and his whole body was hanging in the air. His tongue was long and his face was purple.

Shan Shan screamed again and again in fright, while Chu Jin knelt under Chu Yue's hanging corpse, weeping profusely.

Although Sanfu has been serving as an official in the palace for a long time, where has he seen such a battle?

A concubine's self-inflicted suicide is a felony that would implicate her mother's family. Those disused concubines in the cold palace are not as good as living like dogs. The emperor just decreed that Chu Yue's position should be lowered. How could she commit suicide?
Chu Jin tried his best to hold back his tears, and greeted San Fu who was stunned at the place: "The master committed suicide in fear of crime, go and report it to the emperor."

As a result, the news spread throughout the entire Emperor Garden City with the cool wind in the middle of the night.

Xuan Jue was very calm after learning about this, and ordered Chu Yue to be buried with the funeral ceremony of a concubine, and told the world that Concubine Li had a sudden illness and died of a fatal illness.

Because of mourning, I stopped going to court for two days to mourn.

After the Empress Dowager Zhang learned of this, she rushed to Chaoyang Palace at night, just as Liu Qi hurriedly retreated to announce Xuanjue's oral instructions, she stopped him and said, "It's late at night, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Liu Qi was in a dilemma, he looked tentatively at Xuan Jue, and only bowed and retreated after Xuan Jue nodded in response.

Empress Dowager Zhang dismissed Xuan Jue's left and right attendants, leaving only his mother and son in the huge Chaoyang Palace.

She sat firmly on the first seat, looked at Xuan Jue with dark eyes, and said after a while: "Emperor, was it your fault?"

"What does the queen mother mean by this?"

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that the queen mother would think the same way, and your concubine would think the same way too. The court ladies and inner eunuchs who know about this will even spread the matter vividly, saying that the emperor can't tolerate concubine Li vicious."

Empress Dowager Zhang's expression was gloomy and cloudy under the illumination of the warm yellow palace lanterns. She grinned at Xuan Jue and said slowly, "What does the Emperor think the Chu family thinks?"

Xuan Jue raised his eyes slightly, and said: "What Chu Huaishan thinks is his business. After all, he raised a useless daughter himself."

Empress Dowager Zhang said indifferently: "Chu Huaishan and Bailizhen are the ministers who helped you to help the emperor and you ascended the throne. Both their daughters ended in misery. Most people in the world must be suspicious. It is you, the emperor, who has moved a strange mind." .”

Xuan Jue said with a smile: "Then the mother thinks, these things are done by the son?"

Empress Dowager Zhang also smiled warmly, and stopped talking.

In April of the first year of Fengyuan, Concubine Li Chuyue died of a serious illness and died in Yaohua Palace at the age of sixteen.

Because the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial mausoleum has not yet been repaired, and there is no proper place to store Concubine Li's bones.

Xuanjue's original intention was to place the Feng'an Hall in the palace, and call eminent monks to pray for blessings day and night.

However, in the early court, Chu Huaishan almost had a falling out with Xuan Jue, and insisted on taking Li Concubine's body back to the house for resettlement. Xuan Jue didn't want to fight with him, so he agreed.

Chu Jin and Shan Shan followed Chu Yue into the palace, and they settled down on the front foot, and the rightful owner left on the back foot, so the two of them were also sent back to their mother's house.

Ever since Mrs. Lin learned of Chu Yue's death, she has been crying every day, nearly crying out of her eyesight.

When all thoughts were lost, God showed mercy, and she fainted from crying at Chu Yue's funeral, and was carried back to Chu's house. After the doctor's examination, it was a happy pulse, and she had been pregnant for two months.

Lin's age of forty is not considered young, and it is not easy to have a child at this age.In order for Lin to raise the child with peace of mind, Chu Huaishan resigned from court affairs and stayed at Chu's house to accompany Lin's side almost every day.

One month later, the pain of bereavement was relieved, but all the resentment was poured on Chu Jin.

It was on this morning that Lin-shi dreamed of Chu Yue crying with her, and said that he was killed by Chu Jin, the disaster star. Lin-shi woke up with tears streaming down his face, and broke down Chu Jin's door without any explanation. , picked up the cane and beat her up.

Chu Jin didn't fight back, just let her go.

When she was covered with bruises, she did not forget to comfort Lin, asking her to take good care of the fetus in her womb, and not to get too angry.

Because of Lin's pregnancy, Chu Huaishan put aside the court affairs to accompany him at home, and there was no female family member in the harem to win over the emperor's heart. During the previous dynasty, the power of Baili Zhenyuan quickly accumulated, and it was likely to overwhelm Chu Huaishan. .

Baili Zhenyuan wholeheartedly thought that it was Chu Yue who caused Shuhua to be barren, and his resentment would not dissipate even if Chu Yue died.She vowed to destroy the Chu family and bring about no peace.

Chu Huaishan sensed the seriousness of the situation, but there was nothing he could do for a while.

After Chu Yue's death, Chu Jin's stay in the Chu residence was even more disgusted by people.

Not only was Chu Huaishan and Lin's fighting and scolding every day to vent their anger, but even the servants pointed at her without mercy.

On this day Chu Huaishan returned to the court, and was openly humiliated by Baili Zhenyuan in the court hall. Xuan Jue watched every scene, but he didn't say a word or dissuade him, and let Chu Huaishan be wronged.

Chu Huaishan, who returned to the mansion, was very angry, Lin tried to persuade him for a long time but couldn't persuade him, but at this time, Chu Jin rushed into the main hall at a bad time.

When Chu Huaishan saw her, he was so angry that he picked up the inkstone and threw it at Chu Jin, "What are you doing here? Do you think I'm not unlucky enough?"

Chu Jin bowed down in front of Chu Huaishan, bent down and kowtowed three times, and said with tears: "My daughter doesn't want to see her father suffer, and my sister has gone. No one in the harem can speak for the Chu family. The queen remembers our Chu family, The wind blowing in the emperor's ear is definitely not a good word. Father and mother have raised their daughter, and the daughter has nothing to repay, she is willing to invite herself into the palace, charm and win the emperor's heart, and fight for a better future for the Chu family."

Although Chu Huaishan and the Lin family didn't want to see Chu Jin, she was also their own daughter, so what they said was not a bad idea.

In addition, Chu Jin was born with some good looks, and even if he was not loved by Xuan Jue, if he entered the palace, having a son and a half daughter would still contribute to the stability of the Chu family's power in the previous dynasty.

So after a night of discussion, Chu Jin agreed on the second day.

A memorial was handed over to Xuanjue. There was only one daughter in the Taoist family who was willing to enter the palace to serve the king.

When Chu Jin entered the palace in the past, he never met Xuan Jue, and Xuan Jue didn't know that the Chu family would allow the first daughter to marry the second daughter to the palace as a maidservant.

Therefore, in order to appease the Chu family, Xuan Jue had no choice but to play this memorial.

Although Chu Huaishan tried his best to fight for a good position for Chu Jin, but when the ceremonial officials in the palace came to the mansion, they only knew that Xuan Jue had made Chu Jin a permanent position.

Although he didn't hesitate in his heart, at least he could send Chu Jin to the palace.

In this way, Chu Huaishan and Lin's thanked the Holy Grace and accepted the imperial decree.
