She had just entered the palace that day and people were packing things outside. She opened the window and saw several palace people cleaning the courtyard outside. Xu, a chamberlain carrying a bucket, tripped over a branch that had been blown to the ground.
He stumbled on his feet and knocked down more than half of the water in the bucket.
As a result, she was scolded by a palace maid in green clothes for a long time. At that time, she saw the chamberlain who had knocked down the water standing there with his head lowered and saying nothing. Several palace people were surrounding him, but no one came to help him.
She was thinking at the time that the palace was probably the darkest place in the world. The people in the palace bullied the good and feared the evil, and looked down on the superior and flattered the inferior. At that time, she was still thinking about whether to bring that chamberlain to her side.
, but gave up because he was afraid of provoking the wrong people.
"You said you didn't see anyone, but you knew who it was. What's going on?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Qinyi said quickly: "The slaves went to Weiyang Palace to deliver soup to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and conveyed the words that the Queen Mother asked the slaves to convey. The Queen Mother said that she had never disturbed the Emperor when he saw that person in the study. Today,
If she went rashly, I'm afraid something would be wrong. The slave girl asked her if she had ever seen the person the Emperor met looked like. The Queen Mother then drew a portrait for the slaves. The slave girl recognized it as soon as she saw it.
Come out."
Qin Yi said and handed the portrait to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang took it, opened it and looked at it, and then confirmed that it was the chamberlain. She sneered in her heart and slightly raised the corner of her mouth, "It's really him."
"How are you going to deal with it?" Qinyi asked softly.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then said: "Killing is not possible temporarily, and it is useless to kill. If you kill one, Xia Huanyu can send a second person. It would be better..."
The corners of Yun Shang's mouth were slightly raised, and she said with a smile: "It's better to put him next to me and watch him all the time. That's the best way."
Yun Shang handed the portrait in his hand to Qin Yi: "Dispose of this before anyone discovers it."
Yun Shang stood up, walked to the window and stood there. The wind was blowing outside. The leaves on several unnamed trees in the yard were hung down by the wind and fell to the ground. There were already some leaves on the ground.
There were a lot of messy leaves.
The palace servant in charge of cleaning was sweeping with a broom, but the chamberlain was missing. Maybe he was still in Weiyang Palace and had not returned yet, Yun Shang thought in his mind.
Not long after, I saw him walking in from outside the palace. When a chamberlain who was cleaning the courtyard saw him, he seemed to shout something, then picked up a broom and hit the chamberlain, and the chamberlain stepped back.
After two steps, his steps staggered.
The coldness in Yun Shang's eyes became even more intense. This drama was actually done extremely well. It would be a pity not to sing in a big drama.
Yun Shang turned around and said, "Let's go out and walk around." After saying that, he walked out.
When they walked into the courtyard, the scolding chamberlain was facing away from Yun Shang and did not notice Yun Shang. The chamberlain carrying water was still standing there with his head lowered, as if he was not aware of it. The people around him were doing this in front of Yun Shang.
, and no one dared to remind him.
"I'm just a water carrier. How can I do so many things all day long? I always find no one for a long time."
"Yes, I was wrong." The scolded chamberlain timidly admitted his mistake, but the scolder refused to forgive.
If Yun Shang didn't know what was going on before, she might have been deceived by the situation in front of her. Yun Shang thought in her heart, but the smile on her face was particularly gentle, "What's going on?"
"Go, go, don't meddle in other people's business." The waiter was probably so angry that he didn't even bother to look back, so he waved his hand casually in response.
Qin Yi frowned when he heard the words: "Being presumptuous and disrespectful to the Queen, what crime should be committed?"
When the waiter heard this, he trembled all over and turned around quickly. Everyone in the courtyard quickly knelt down.
"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die. I didn't know that I was the Queen, but I bumped into the Queen's Feng Jia. I hope you will forgive me." The servant kowtowed several times.
Yun Shang smiled, but seemed not angry: "I ask you, what happened?"
The waiter trembled, and then he quickly responded, "Reporting to your Majesty, due to the strong wind these past two days, there have been a lot of fallen leaves in the courtyard. We are very busy every day. This is the palace servant who carries water here, but every time
He was not there during the busiest time, and the servant was so angry that he couldn't help but curse a few words."
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the scolded chamberlain, her eyes paused slightly. The chamberlain looked a little thin and frail, and his face was also a little pale. Yun Shang paused.
After a pause, he asked the man: "Is what he said true?"
The scolded chamberlain didn't have the slightest excuse: "Yes."
"Why are you lazy?" Yun Shang also frowned and asked again.
The waiter lowered his head and said softly, "Because the food we ate yesterday was a bit sour, so I had some diarrhea."
"The food is sour?" Yun Shang was even more confused, "Your meals were all made that day, how could it be sour?"
"Slave...I don't know." The servant's voice was a little lower, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Yun Shang saw that the other people's heads were also lowered, and he realized that he had not lied about this matter. He thought it was because the eunuch was a little softer and was not gregarious, so he was ignored by other people.
Bullied together.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced at the rest of the people, her eyes a bit sharp: "I don't know that there are still people in Weiyang Palace who eat bad food every day. I let you enter Weiyang Palace because I wanted to let you
You are here to serve His Majesty and me, instead of plotting and suppressing each other. If I hadn't happened to find out today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that such a thing was happening secretly."
"Qin Yi——" Yun Shang called out in a loud voice.
Qinyi hurriedly took two steps forward and responded.
Yun Shangfang said softly: "Such abominable behavior cannot be subdued without punishment. Take them down and receive ten whips each. If the same thing happens again, they will be sent directly to the inner chamberlain and handed over to Qi Ruihai.
"
The palace servants who were kneeling on the ground quickly begged for mercy, but Yun Shang turned a deaf ear. She only looked at the servant who looked a little thin and said, "Come with me." After saying that, he turned around and returned to the main hall.
The chamberlain followed Yun Shang into the inner hall. Yun Shang sat down on the chair, then raised his eyes and looked at the hunched chamberlain. He was silent for a moment and then asked: "What is your name?"
"Minion, my name is Shen Ke." The chamberlain replied.
"Shen Ke." Yun Shang repeated before asking: "You were bullied by them, why didn't you tell Qin Yi?"
Hearing this, the chamberlain named Shen Ke raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang carefully before responding: "I see that Aunt Qinyi has too many chores to deal with every day, so I don't dare to bother her with these small things."
"She is an honest person." Yun Shang smiled, "You can stay with me and serve me from now on. There is nothing good around me. It is not a problem to have enough food, and those people will no longer dare to take care of me in the future.
bully you."
Shen Ke seemed a little surprised. He paused and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang. His eyes were full of surprise. Seeing Yun Shang looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and knelt down in a hurry.
He thanked me and said, "I would like to thank the Queen for her kindness."
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this: "Qinyi, take him down to find another place to live."
Qin Yi quickly responded with a smile, raised her eyes and said to Shen Ke, "Let's go."
Shen Ke had no choice but to agree and followed Qin Yi out of the main hall and towards the side hall on the left. Hua'er walked to the door and leaned out to take a look. She smiled when she saw Qin Yi leading him away.
He said: "If I didn't know that he was always staring at the empress, I would never believe that he is a martial arts master by looking at his appearance."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and looked at the fine lines on the hem of her skirt. There was a hint of contemplation in her smile, "There are too many people in the world who are different from what they are."
Not long after, Qian Zui came back and saw Yun Shang and Hua'er sitting in the hall. After looking around for a long time, he opened his mouth and said a few words to Yun Shang silently.
When Yun Shang and Hua'er saw this, they couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, it's done."
Qian Zui patted his chest, looking like he was finally relieved: "I'm scared to death, your Majesty, how well did you behave this morning?"
Yun Shang looked at her with a smile on her face and "please praise me" written all over her eyes. She also felt funny in her heart: "Well, it's great. You can go to Liyuan to sing a big show. I'll ask someone to ask them."
Our troupe is still short of people."
When Qian Zui heard what Yun Shang said, his eyes suddenly widened, "Your Majesty knows how to bully slaves."
The three people in the room burst into laughter. They laughed for a long time before they finally stopped laughing. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Qian Zui and Hua'er with a smile on her lips, "It's just that we really need to make a show."
From now on, don't let him become suspicious, and don't let him have the opportunity to be alone. I asked Qinyi to place him in Qinghao's room, so that Qinghao could keep an eye on him.
.”
Qianzui quickly responded in a low voice.
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't be too happy anymore. How is Concubine Liu's situation?"
Qian Zhucai quickly stopped, with a more serious look on his face, "There are no special clues at the moment. The four Wen Po's family members are all gone, and most of the people who originally served Liu Concubine have been released from the palace when they reached their age.
, I ordered the secret guards to continue the investigation."
Yun Shang nodded, but the doubts in her heart deepened, "Old people from the Liu Mansion should also pay attention..."
Thinking of Luo Qingyan mentioning Liu's hometown that day, he pondered for a moment in his heart, and then said softly: "Liu's hometown is in a place called Yangliu Town. You order people to go to their hometown to investigate. The main purpose is to investigate
The thing we want to explore is why Liu Yinfeng was adopted by Liu Jin and what the specific circumstances were. In a small town like that, neighbors can't hide any big secrets. If you ask more, you should be able to find out." (Unfinished)
