"The Ai family is the Queen Mother!" Empress Dowager Cui opened her eyes angrily and scolded: "Who dares to stop the Ai family!"
Ci'an Palace was once again in chaos. The Jingwei who were guarding the outside had long been accustomed to the scene in the palace, and they had to make trouble every day.
On the other side, Si Ningchi was greatly surprised by the people sent by the emperor. She really didn't expect that the dog emperor could be so thoughtful?
Aunt Jiang is an old man in the palace, and she was the eldest maid who served Empress Yuan at the beginning. She is very clear about the accounting transactions in the palace. With the help of Aunt Jiang, Si Ningchi checked the accounts even more
It is a lot easier to get twice the result with half the effort, precisely because the emperor personally sent the person, so there is no need to worry about using it.
But feel free to use it boldly. If someone else sends it, you have to be careful not to be tricked!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Si Ningchi also met with the female officials from the Third Division and Sixth Bureau in Fengwu Palace. He had been holding back his misfortune earlier, thinking that the Queen must have only a little knowledge of palace affairs when she first took charge of the palace, so she could just fool around.
It would be better to check the accounts in front of them and get to the point.
In Fengwu Palace, all the eunuchs who worked on the boards worked in shifts, from morning to night, and not one of the bad debtors escaped.
The little eunuch squatting outside the wall of Fengwu Palace felt a dull pain in his buttocks after listening to the sound of hitting the board all day.
The Queen is so cruel in punishing people...
It doesn’t matter who is behind you, even the female official appointed by the emperor is useless. If you make a mistake, you will be beaten!
Today's beating really hit the harem directly. They have been working in this palace for many years, who hasn't been greedy for something?
Not to mention those small favors, the Empress is now so strict, which really makes them suffer. I am afraid that the Empress will investigate further. If it is found that the bribery not only extends to the harem, but also involves officials from the previous dynasty, that will be really bad.
……
"Empress De Concubine, you must save this slave!" Wei Shanggong knelt in front of Concubine De and cried loudly, begging Concubine De to save her life.
"Stop crying, I'm upset if you cry." Concubine De naturally heard about the Queen's punishment. She frowned impatiently and said, "Just a few slaps, what a big deal it can be." p>
Wei Shanggong cried even more sadly after hearing this. He looked at Concubine De with some despair and said: "Today the Queen is just checking the accounts, and tomorrow she will reconcile them, slave... slave..."
Wei Shanggong hesitated to speak, his tone full of fear and uneasiness. Concubine De frowned and stared at Wei Shanggong and said: "How many clean accounts are there in this palace? What are you afraid of."
Concubine De lowered her eyes and looked at her and said: "After all, you were promoted by this palace. The queen just wants to establish her authority now. You are not missing someone who can do small favors. At most, you will get a few more blows. If you are a little worse,
It's just a punishment of demotion. As long as I am a concubine, you will always be able to climb up again."
"Concubine De, I am very grateful, but..." Wei Shanggong swallowed and said cautiously: "What should I do if there is a crime that is not even punishable by demotion?"
"..." Concubine De's expression was suffocated. When she saw Wei Shanggong's eyes suddenly widening, he stared at her and said angrily: "What did you say? Who have you received favors from!?"
"Concubine De, I know you are wrong! I was also fascinated by the treasure for a while. Lord Fan just wanted me to take care of his niece and send some family letters outside the palace. I thought it would not be a difficult task, so I agreed.
Who knows..." The more Wei Shanggong talked about Concubine De, the paler her face became.
"You, are you impatient with life!?" Concubine De suddenly stood up from the chair, glared at Wei Shanggong and said: "How dare the harem confer with foreign ministers in private!?"
"It's all about giving and receiving privately. You, how dare you pass the news from the palace out of the palace!" Concubine De was out of breath. She pointed at Wei Shanggong with trembling fingers and said: "Are you seeking death? You can't Luo Luo.
Well, it’s a serious crime of collusion and rebellion!”
Wei Shanggong was so frightened that he crawled to Concubine De's feet with his hands and feet and cried: "I am also obsessed with it for a moment. I beg Concubine De to save me. I will definitely not dare to do it again. Concubine De is the only slave I have!"
”
Concubine De stretched out her hand to cover her chest, looking at Wei Shanggong who was kneeling on the ground crying, she felt a chill in her heart.
"If it were anything else, I could still beg you for mercy." Concubine De lowered her eyes and looked at Wei Shanggong and said, "But if you commit an offence, even I can't beg you for a way out!"
"The most taboo thing for the emperor is for the harem to interfere with politics, and he will not tolerate the harem interfering with court officials." Concubine De shook her head slowly and said: "If you are smart, you should let yourself go cleanly, and don't leave any power for others to manipulate.
”
"If you don't do it for yourself, think carefully about your brother who is going to take the science test this year." Concubine De sighed softly, looked at Wei Shanggong and said, "Because of you, not only did I get killed, but my brother's science test was also implicated.
You should regret it if you are expelled from the exam."
After hearing Concubine De's words, Wei Shanggong suddenly felt cold all over, and her last hope was completely wiped out. She...
She slumped to the ground in a daze, with tears in her eyes unable to flow. Now she realizes her regret. Back then, she felt that no one dared to offend the Third Division, and she acted so arrogantly that she did not take these little things to heart. If she
If you were a little more cautious, you wouldn't have made such a big mistake!
"I can't do anything for you, just ask for your own blessings." Concubine De said this to Wei Shanggong and sent her out.
Wei Shanggong stood outside Yuning Palace, feeling a little shaken. He walked a few steps without knowing where he was going. When he raised his eyes, he saw a noble person walking in front of him. Wei Shanggong quickly calmed down his expression and stood beside him with his head lowered.
Make way by bending sideways.
She was wandering in the sky, but suddenly she stopped when she saw the person in front of her: "But Wei Shang Palace?"
Wei Shanggong came back to his senses and looked up, seeing that the person standing in front of him was none other than Yi Zhaorong from Liu Yuexuan.
"My servant has met Yi Zhaorong." Wei Shanggong bowed his head slightly in greeting.
"Wei Shanggong looks bad, but is he encountering something difficult?" Yi Zhaorong asked warmly with a smile.
Wei Shanggong forced a smile, but didn't say anything. In her opinion, even Empress Dowager De was helpless, what could she accomplish with a little Zhaorong?
Yi Zhaorong was not too dissatisfied with Wei Shanggong's demeanor. Instead, he smiled softly and said: "I don't know what difficulties Wei Shanggong encountered. I just want to remind Wei Shanggong that sometimes you might as well be a little bolder."
."
"Now the queen is the one who makes the decision in this palace, and you have to ask for help from the right place." Yi Zhaorong smiled, but the words she spoke struck her mind like thunder.<
/p>
"There is a saying that you should put yourself to death before living."
Wei Shang suddenly woke up when he looked at Yi Zhaorong Shi Shiran's leaving figure, and suddenly burst out with a strong desire to live. Maybe this could really be life?
