In Fengwu Palace, Si Ningchi was lying on the couch with his head propped up and his eyes closed to rest. Next to him, Shen Ting stood with his eyes lowered, holding a fan in his hand and fanning Si Ningchi slowly.
Su Yongde said with a shy smile: "Your Majesty, you are so majestic today. I have never seen such an ugly face in Wu's life for so many years. The female officials in the Third Division and Sixth Bureau must never dare to disrespect you from today on." ”
Si Ningchi curled his lips after listening to Su Yongde's words, closed his eyes and said, "How can we only punish but not reward? I haven't started to take action yet."
Punishment and reward can stabilize people's hearts. Si Ningchi doesn't want to have to do everything by herself. Since there has been such a big commotion this time, she naturally wants to select people who can be used by her. In the future, the palace accounts Why does she need to check it every day? As long as someone does it for her, it is enough to be able to handle it.
"Empress, I'm looking for you from the Wei Shang Palace outside." Yue Gui walked into the palace and bowed to Si Ningchi.
"Look, isn't this guy here?" Si Ningchi opened his eyes, sat up, smiled and said, "Go and invite this guy in."
Wei Fangruo has been in this palace for a long time, and there are many capable people under her to be able to sit firmly in the position of the palace. It is a pity that she has been a dog following Concubine De for all these years. Ordinary people Where can I move her?
What Siningchi lacks now is such a loyal dog.
There are quite a few people around her, but they are all young people. It may not be useful if something happens to her, but Wei Shang Palace is different. If she can be taken under his command and used for his own use, she will be able to do it in this palace. It’s really twice the result with half the effort. If it weren’t for this, how could Concubine De value Wei Fangruo so highly?
"Why did Wei Shanggong have time to come to Fengwu Palace today? Is he here to deliver a bill?" Si Ningchi had a smile on his lips, looking down at Wei Fangruo who was standing in front of the palace, the smile in his eyes became even brighter. Too bad.
Wei Fangruo raised her eyes and looked at Si Ningchi. After just one glance, she seemed to have understood the meaning hidden in the smile on the queen's face. She must have known everything and was sure that she came here because she had no other choice. This.
Wei Fangruo's heart sank to the bottom, and she didn't care about anything else. She took a step forward and knelt down. She knelt down and knelt down and said: "This slave deserves death for his crime. Please punish me, the Queen!"
This kneeling is her last chance of survival.
This matter has not yet become a big deal, and the emperor has not known about it. She came here today to reveal all her details to the queen. No matter what the queen does, as long as she can keep her life, she will give it to Feng in the future. Wugong is like a cow or a horse, this is the purpose of her coming today, it is her all-or-nothing bet.
Si Ningchi had indeed made a guess. After checking the accounts for so long, although the omissions in the accounts had not been fully understood, he could guess a few things with a little speculation. However, what Si Ningchi did not expect was that Wei Fangruo would be so courageous. Not only did he accept bribes, but he also sent letters outside the palace. This alone was enough to kill her.
"This palace is not a garbage dump. We will take any rubbish." Si Ningchi lowered his eyes and looked at Wei Fangruo and said: "As a minister, you should know the palace rules and national laws."
"Knowing the law and breaking the law is an extra level of crime. Not to mention your life, we still don't know whether your relatives can be saved or not." Si Ningchi looked at her lazily and said, "Why would I take such a risk to help you?
”
"The Queen!" Wei Fangruo moved his knees eagerly, raised his head and looked at Si Ningchi and said: "I dare not ask the Queen to save my life. I only ask the Queen to spare my life! As long as I live in the future,
Just let the empress do her bidding, and I will definitely regard your will as an imperial edict!"
"Humph." Si Ningchi laughed twice, raised his hand and supported his chin, looked at Wei Fangruo and said: "If I remember correctly, Concubine De has been kind to you.
The position of Shang Gong also depends on Concubine De."
"Now you are going to abandon your old master and join me?" Si Ningchi restrained his smile a little, looked at Wei Fangruo and said: "How can I rest assured that you won't abandon me like this in the future?
”
Wei Fangruo secretly took a breath and closed her eyes in despair. In fact, before entering Fengwu Palace, she had thought that the Queen would definitely mention this matter, and sure enough...
Seeing Wei Fangruo's expression, Si Ningchi stood up with a smile and said, "But, I do have a lot of people around me. If you can do something for me, I will help you." Wei Fangruo raised her head in surprise and saw Si Ningchi waving, and Shen Ting coming up next to him with a tray, and there was a red porcelain bottle in the tray.
"This is a highly poisonous medicine." Si Ningchi walked down and stood in front of Wei Fangruo. He looked down at her kneeling on the ground and said, "If you are truly loyal, eat this poison.
If you come to Fengwu Palace once a month to get the antidote, you will not be poisoned and die. This poison is weird and has no solution in the world. It is a treasure that I have worked hard to get."
"It is rumored that when the poison takes effect, there is a pain of bone disintegration. The poisoned person is unaware of it. Only when the poison takes effect, the person will be turned into a pile of flesh and blood without any bones." Si Ningchi clicked his tongue twice, smiling like a flower.
He looked at Wei Fangruo and said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes yet, you..."
She bent down and reached out to gently lift her chin, and said softly: "Do you want me to see you?"
Wei Fangruo's back was stiff, and she froze in place. She looked at the red porcelain bottle on the tray with a look of extreme fear in her eyes, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Si Ningchi smiled dazzlingly and said with joy in his tone: "If you want me to believe you, then... eat it."
Eat...eat...
Wei Fangruo's throat suddenly became dry, and she almost wanted to turn around and run away. The queen was simply a lunatic. Once she swallowed such a vicious poison, she would risk her life!
The emotion of fear swept through her body. She trembled and couldn't lift her hands for a long time. Looking at the queen's expectant smile, it seemed as if she wished she could be poisoned immediately. Wei Fangruo's expression became even more stiff. She was not trying to survive.
, why does it feel like I have jumped into a dead pit!
"Can the Queen really help this slave?" Wei Fangruo looked at Si Ningchi in despair.
"Since you have come to Fengwu Palace, you must also know that in this palace, if even I can't save you, then no one can save you." Si Ningchi said nonchalantly: "Anyway, everything is the same.
Death, why not give it a try?"
"Don't worry, this medicine shouldn't be bitter." Si Ningchi tilted his head thoughtfully, picked up a piece of pastry from the small plate on his table, handed it to Wei Fangruo with a smile, and said: "This is
The palace will reward you with a piece of sweet cake to eat with it."
