"I will only say a few words here today. First of all, I must emphasize that in this Weiyang Palace, you can be a little stupid and slow in reaction. I will not care about these things. But.
, you must keep one thing in mind. If anyone dares to set his mind on me, don’t blame me for being rude. There are three types of people I hate the most. One is those who betray me, and the other is those who deceive me.
People hate people with impure thoughts." Yun Shang squinted her eyes. She didn't even need to look into the bronze mirror. Yun Shang also knew that her appearance at this time was probably a bit fierce.
"Secondly, I know that when you have nothing to do, you also like to chat with the palace people in other palaces. However, I don't want anything happening in Weiyang Palace to be spread to the ears of outsiders."
"Finally, I hope you will know clearly who is calling the shots in this harem now. Follow the right master, listen to the dialogue, and make the right choices. These are the ways of survival that I don't need to mention. I am also here.
For those who grew up in the harem, I have seen a lot of the messy things in the harem. Fortunately, I am the only one in your harem now. It is up to you to decide who should be your master."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Qian Zui and said, "Take the guards to the side hall to search Haosheng, and you will definitely find the hairpin."
Qianzuo responded quickly, summoned the guards, and took him to the side hall.
Yun Shang sat expressionless, her eyes calmly falling on the thirty or so palace people below. Perhaps she never expected that Yun Shang would suddenly send the guards to search the side hall, but Yun Shang obviously looked at it.
Some of them seemed a little uneasy. A palace maid standing in the third row turned her head slightly and looked at the east side hall, frowning.
Yun Shang sneered, raised his head, pointed at the maid and said to Qinghao: "Bring that maid out."
Qinghao responded quickly, walked quickly into the crowd, pulled the palace maid out, threw her to the front, and then said sternly: "Kneel down."
The palace maid trembled all over and knelt down quickly, "Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Spare your life? What have you done to ask me to spare your life?" Yun Shang said coldly. Without waiting for the maid's reaction, she asked again: "What is your name and what do you do?"
"Qi... I would like to inform you that your servant Xuerui is responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard." The palace maid quickly replied.
Yun Shang lightly stroked the tea cup with her hand: "I saw that you were staring at the East Side Hall just now, but are you afraid that the guards will find something in your room?"
"No...no." Xuerui responded in a low voice.
Yun Shang smiled: "Really? Then you just kneel down and wait until the guards have finished searching. If nothing is found in your house, get up again."
"yes."
Everyone else quickly lowered their heads and waited quietly.
After about half an hour, the guards searched the east and west side halls, took out all the problematic items, and placed them one by one on the ground in front of the palace guests.
Yun Shang stood up, walked to those things, and looked at them one by one. There were quite a few things, including various jewelry, a large amount of gold and silver, and even a pair of silver bowls and chopsticks. However,
, without the hairpin with the phoenix spreading its wings, Yun Shang's eyes fell on one of the sachets. He leaned down and picked up the sachet. When he opened the sachet, he smelled a faint medicinal smell. When he took a closer look,
Sure enough, it was indeed a pill. Yun Shang sniffed it gently, then raised the corner of her mouth and sneered. It was a poison, but it was also a charm drug.
Yun Shang threw the sachet to the ground, took the brocade handkerchief handed over by Qian Zui and wiped her hands before saying calmly: "Whose do these things belong to? Come and claim them yourself."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, she turned back to the door and sat down on the chair.
Someone timidly stood up and knelt down behind a pair of jade earrings. Seeing that someone had already come out, someone else followed. After a while, everything was claimed, except for the items that Yun Shang had just seen.
That sachet.
"No one is willing to admit that this thing is theirs?" Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, but anyone could see the chilling coldness in that smile.
"Whose house was this found from?" Yun Shang turned around and asked Qian Zui.
Qianzuo quickly responded: "There are three people living in that house, namely Xue Rui, Xue Jing, and An Lan."
Except for Xuerui, who was kneeling in front of the three people whose names were called, the other two people also quickly walked to the front and knelt down.
"Have you never seen anyone wearing this sachet?" Yun Shang asked lightly, but her eyes saw that Xuerui's face was a bit pale. In the weather of the first month, there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead.
.
"For the record, the Queen, I have seen Xuerui wear it before." The woman who came up quickly responded softly.
Another palace maid also nodded hurriedly: "I have also seen Xuerui wear it."
"Xue Rui?" Yun Shang said.
Xue Rui quickly kowtowed several times and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know my mistake."
But Yun Shang laughed: "What did I just say? I hate the three types of people the most, and among them are those who deceive me. If I had just asked everyone to come forward to claim them,
You took the initiative and I can spare you, but now, it's too late."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, he ordered Qinghao: "Take it down and deal with it."
Xuerui's frightened screams rang out in the Weiyang Palace, but Qinghao stuffed a piece of cloth into her voice, cutting off her voice. Yun Shang watched Qinghao and the guards pulling the palace maid named Xuerui out of the courtyard before standing up.
He came over and said calmly: "These things on the ground are not something ordinary palace people should have. But because you are more conscious, I don't want to care about it, but it is only this time. If it happens again, I will
That Xuerui, this is your fate. Remember every word I said today, otherwise..."
Yun Shang sneered, then waved her hand and said, "It's all gone."
Yun Shang stood up and entered the main hall, turned around and watched everyone disperse with lowered eyebrows, then turned to look at Qian Zui and said, "Didn't you find the hairpin in that Banxia house?"
Qian Zui shook his head, "I searched everywhere I should, but couldn't find it."
Yun Shang nodded lightly and murmured in a low voice: "It seems something is not good."
"Mother, Manager Qi is here." Peilan's voice came from outside the door.
Yun Shang came back to her senses, raised her eyes and looked at the door, and saw Qi Ruihai walking in from the outside with his head lowered and bending slightly, and knelt down in the hall: "Slave Qi Ruihai pays homage to the Queen, the Queen is a thousand years old."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and looked at Qi Ruihai indifferently. After a long time, Princess Li said that countless people wanted to take Qi Ruihai under her command, but no one succeeded. Yun Shang had never taken Qi Ruihai in her eyes before, and had always thought that
Qi Ruihai and Li Fuhua are in the same camp. If it is according to what Concubine Li said, is she wrong?
"I wonder if your Majesty has summoned this servant, but do you have anything important to say?" Qi Ruihai's voice rang out.
"A few days ago, Ban Xia in my palace was murdered, and the maid Qin Yi who was in charge is now serving as a steward in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There are fewer people available in Weiyang Palace. You can find a way to choose a few outstanding ones.
Come and serve me in this palace." Yun Shang lowered her head and straightened the loose sleeves of her clothes, and said softly.
Qi Ruihai responded in a low voice, and Yun Shang raised his head and asked, "How many years has it been since Eunuch Qi entered the palace?"
Qi Ruihai seemed stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Twenty-seven years."
"Twenty-seven years?" Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, "It's quite a long time. I've been serving as the Head Chamberlain for some years, right?"
"Yes, eight years." Qi Ruihai said softly.
Yun Shang nodded and walked up to Qi Ruihai: "General Manager Qi has been the general manager here for eight years. Have you ever thought about... going to a higher level?"
Qi Ruihai seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "This slave is too stupid to hold a big position. I hope the Queen will forgive me."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and looked at Qi Ruihai. She thought that he would at least ask what kind of position Yun Shang mentioned about going to the next level, but she never thought that he refused without even thinking about it.
Already.
Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth, and a bit of chill spread in her eyes: "General Manager Qi is really courageous."
Qi Ruihai hurriedly bowed and said: "The queen's appearance is not because the slave is unwilling. The reason behind this is that I ask the queen to listen to the slave."
"What's the secret?" Yun Shang turned around, walked to the chair and sat down, asking calmly.
"Your Majesty does not know that the slave came to the palace to find his sister. The slave's family lived in a village outside Jincheng. The family was poor. When the slave was thirteen years old, his father was seriously ill, and the slave wanted to find his sister.
To raise money for his father's medical treatment, he was forced to sell his sister for some silver. At that time, the slave promised his sister that he would redeem her no matter what. Soon after, his father left, and the slave helped everywhere.
A man earned some money from working, and wanted to find his sister. He found a buyer, but found that his sister had been sold again. After many twists and turns, he heard that his sister was finally brought into the palace two or three years later, and his servants followed him.
Entering the palace..." Qi Ruihai said softly, but his voice was calm.
"The palace is too big and there are too many people in the palace. I have never seen my sister, so I thought that the chamberlain records the information of all the palace residents, so I tried my best to get into the chamber, but I still couldn't find my sister.
However, I will not give up just yet. As long as I am alive, I will definitely continue to look for you. The inner chamber is the best place..."
Yun Shang's eyes turned a few times, but she couldn't determine whether Qi Ruihai's words were the truth or just an excuse. She smiled and said: "Since Eunuch Qi doesn't want to, I won't force it. It's just..."
Yun Shang's lips curled up: "In the palace, there are one prison, one palace, one courtyard and six bureaus. I am bound to win all of them. Eunuch Qi has thought about it carefully. If you want to find a sister, you don't necessarily have to serve the prison guards. You know, the chamberlain
The records in the prison are just palace maids. Eunuch Qi has been looking for them for so many years and has never found them. Why didn't he go there first? Maybe your sister is not a palace lady at all? Eunuch Qi doesn't need to respond to me now. It's better to go back and think about it.
The palace is waiting for the good news from Eunuch Qi." (To be continued)
