Chapter 39

If the death of the little court lady Fu'er hadn't frightened Yu Wanyi, the most proud person in the harem, it probably wouldn't have caused any trouble.But because the two masters were frightened, the emperor Longyan was furious, and he bypassed the second concubine Yan and Xu for the thorough investigation, and directly handed it over to the imperial guards for investigation.

For a while, everyone in the harem was in danger.Every day, I heard that some eunuchs and maids in the palace were called in for questioning, and some people couldn't bear the torture and torture, and many private affairs had nothing to do with Fu'er's death. There are more and more middle cases, just like snowballs, and more and more people are implicated. Even in the Yixiang Palace where Su Qinwan lived, two maids and one eunuch were taken away by the guards and never came back .

"Your Majesty, Zhuo Shou was taken away by the imperial guards!" Ying Chun, who was in a hurry, called the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat as soon as he entered the door, walked to Concubine Yan Gui and lowered his voice to reply.

Concubine Yan Gui turned pale with shock, "What?!"

"It's absolutely true... Your Majesty, are you looking at the emperor purely for the one in Yixiang Palace this time, or does he have other plans?" Yingchun asked sullenly.

Concubine Yan Gui forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, and tried her best to calm herself down. After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "I don't believe that the emperor will be the kind of person who rushes to the crown and becomes a beauty. Beauty, but for so many years, there have been women with better color than her. How have you ever seen the emperor look at you differently? The one from Yunmei Palace was also favored like jewels and treasures at the beginning. Look now, Sooner or later, it’s just tomorrow’s day.”

After a pause, she went on to say, "If you say he has other plans... what is the plan? He has never been a person who cares about everything in the harem. Over the years, I have asked myself that everything is right. It has been done safely and securely, so that no one will be able to find fault, and there was nothing wrong in the first few years when it was the most chaotic and eventful, so it is possible that now that the situation is calm, it will be settled after the fall?"

Yingchun was also puzzled, after a long silence, she had a flash of inspiration, and asked tentatively, "Ma'am, could it be because of the mother and child in Renkang Palace?"

Concubine Yan Gui contemplated for a moment before she nodded slightly, "I don't rule out this possibility. The mother and child have always been a thorn in the Emperor's heart. Could it be that Prince Jing did something extraordinary during the six months since he left Beijing, which attracted the Emperor to take the opportunity?" attack?"

After thinking about it, he was worried, and ordered in a low voice, "Go and check, see if someone has been taken away from Renkang Palace? Wait, let someone inquire again, who did the maid offend?" Falling into the water and dying these old tricks It's fine to deceive others, she Yan Biru never believed in these "chances".

In the name of recuperation, Su Qinwan declined wave after wave of concubines who took the opportunity to inquire about the situation, and did not ask about the people who were taken away from her palace, but seemed to focus on raising her body wholeheartedly.

The gate of Yixiang Palace was closed tightly, and everyone in the harem had no choice but to continue to wait anxiously for the storm to pass as soon as possible.A few days later, many palace maids and eunuchs who were taken away were released, but there were still more than a dozen people who were purged for all sorts of shady affairs, and the death of court lady Fu'er was also concluded. Ma Dafu, the eunuch of the imperial dining room who was drunk and wanted to misbehave, was killed by wrong hands.

With a sound of "Boom", the strings of the piano broke in response, Lu Shuang screamed and stepped forward, carefully holding Jian Shuyi's hand, seeing that the nails of the middle finger of her right hand, which was as white as jade, were broken at the root, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red with distress.

Jian Shuyi seemed to be ignorant, but there was still a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Lu Shuang, I won the bet...I believe it will not be long before I can..."

"Your Majesty, why do you still think about these things now? Fingers connected to each other!" Lu Shuang said in disapproval.

"The pain of ten fingers and heart is nothing, I have survived the pain even more, and I am living well now." Jian Shuyi smiled lightly and shook her head.

Lu Shuang's heart was suffocated, and she helped her trim the broken nails in silence, and then carefully applied the medicine powder.

"I don't want to think about anything, I just hope that the rest of my life will be safe and sound." She sobbed softly.

Jian Shuyi sighed softly, looking at the woman who has been with her since she was a child, and has been with her all the way, now there are fine lines appearing in the corners of her eyes, her nose is sore, and she raises her left hand to gently smooth the drooping hair for her. Si put it behind her ear, "I have tired you all these years, so I shouldn't have brought you into this place where people cannibalize..."

"The maidservant is only fortunate to be able to accompany Miss all these years." Lu Shuang said in a low voice.

A shallow sigh lingered in the room, lingering for a long time...

"Your Majesty, except for some that cannot be moved for the time being, the rest that have been tampered with have been cleaned up properly." Zhou Yuan presented the booklet in his hand.
