"Your Majesty, please relax. Otherwise, if you let the Emperor know, you may have another knot in your heart." Sizhu replied softly.
If the master makes up his mind to participate in the harem fight, the person who cannot offend is the current emperor, so that the emperor will not hinder the empress. She understands the truth, how can the empress not understand?
"The Ai family has a sense of propriety. By the way, have you found the person the Ai family asked you to find?" Mu Ci said business.
She has already said hello to Dugu Liancheng, and since Dugu Liancheng silently agrees, this matter will be easy to handle.
She couldn't trust Zheng De, so she had to find another chamberlain she could trust.
"The slave has been found. Let him come over tomorrow so that I can see you." Sizhu responded.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Sizhu brought people to Mu Ci.
"Slave Feng Jiu, I pay homage to the Queen Mother, and I would like to express my sincere greetings to you." Feng Jiufu bowed to the ground and saluted Mu Ci.
"Excuse me, raise your head." Mu Ci excused himself from Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu stood up and looked up at Mu Ci.
Looking at his young age, square face, and wide eyebrows, he seemed good at first glance, and this man once served Emperor Qingyuan.
"I heard from Sizhu that after Emperor Qingyuan passed away, you were sent to Liuli Palace to guard the palace gates until now?" Mu Ci asked as usual.
Liuli Palace was once the palace where Emperor Qingyuan's beloved concubine He Shufei lived. Later, Emperor Qingyuan passed away. I heard that Concubine He Shufei missed Emperor Qingyuan so much that she died with a gray hair and left with Emperor Qingyuan.
From then on, Liuli Palace became empty.
Speaking of which, some of Emperor Qingyuan's harem concubines died, and some dispersed out of the palace. Later, there was not a single harem concubine left. This is also strange and a bit weird.
In addition, most of the palaces and eunuchs who served during Emperor Qingyuan's time were sent away from the palace, so no one knows what happened at that time. There are few people like Feng Jiu who served Emperor Qingyuan, but can still be idle in the palace.
And few.
"Exactly." Feng Jiu replied calmly.
Mu Ci's eyes flashed slightly.
As an emperor and a courtier, Feng Jiu was once a slave of the previous dynasty, and I wonder if he can be used as his own.
"Yong'an Palace is short of a manager. I wonder if you are willing to be used by the Ai family." Mu Ci did not waste any nonsense and went straight to the topic.
Feng Jiu immediately knelt down to show his loyalty: "I am willing to do my best for my queen."
Later, Yingchun took Feng Jiu down to meet him.
"Your Majesty, can you trust Feng Jiu?" Sizhu was a little worried.
Although she was the one who found him, and she also inquired about Feng Jiu's situation, she was still worried that Feng Jiu would not serve his empress wholeheartedly.
"Don't be suspicious when employing people. After all, they are people who have served Emperor Qingyuan. If Feng Jiu can be loyal, that would be the best. If not, just send him out." Mu Ci replied softly.
There was another reason why Feng Jiu was retained.
Feng Jiu has been in the palace for a long time, so he must know more things than the average person, and he must have many ways to inquire about the situation.
She had known about Feng Jiu as early as in her previous life, and had also thought about finding Feng Jiu. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and she was suddenly thrown into the cold palace, and she never had the opportunity to see him again.
"How does the empress know Feng Jiu?" Sizhu asked curiously.
It seems that no one has ever known about Feng Jiu's existence. Her confidants are just a few of them, so how did she learn about this person?
Mu Ci laughed dumbly.
In the previous life, Feng Jiu was found by Sizhu. Did she want to tell Sizhu about this?
"Watch him carefully from now on. If there is anything wrong with him, tell Ai Jia immediately." Mu Ci avoided Sizhu's question.
Si Zhu also wisely stopped asking further questions.
After two peaceful days, another murder suddenly occurred in the harem.
Mu Ci is in charge of the harem, so of course he must investigate this matter thoroughly.
One of the people involved was the eighth-grade Liu Cainv, and the other was the seventh-grade He Yunv. It is said that the two had a verbal dispute, and then they got into a fight, and Liu Cainv was pushed into the Xihua River by He Yunv.
Liu Cainv did not know the nature of water, so she died an unexpected death.
When He Yunv was brought to Mu Ci, even Mu Ci, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn't help but take a second look.
Sizhu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, He Yu is such a beautiful girl.
He Yunv is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an oval face and slender eyebrows. Not only is she beautiful, she also has a cool temperament. Such a beauty must be someone a man wants to conquer, right?
Although He Yunv is not as enchanting as Zhao Ling, she is better than there are few such cold women in the harem.
When Feng Jiu saw He Yunu for the first time, he was also startled.
Then he went to Mu Ci's side and whispered: "Mother, I'm afraid this one has something to do with Concubine He Shu back then."
Mu Ci became interested when he heard this: "How do you say this?"
She knew that Feng Jiu was well-informed and would be useful if he stayed by her side.
"The appearance of He Yunv is somewhat similar to that of He Shufei. The most important thing is the cold temperament. They are exactly the same. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be close relatives." Feng Jiu replied in a low voice.
The sound of their conversation was very low, and of course Queen He who was kneeling below could not hear it.
He Yunv took a surprised look and felt that the current Queen Mother was more beautiful than she had imagined. The strange color in her eyes flashed away, but she quickly regained her composure.
Mu Ci straightened his expression and said to Hu Bo, the palace attendant next to He Yunv: "Tell me about the scene you saw."
Amber didn't expect that the Queen Mother would ask her questions. Because she was a palace servant serving the young master, she didn't know if the Queen Mother would believe what she said.
"The young master did have a verbal dispute with Liu Cainu at that time, but the young master did not take action. It was the young master Liu who accidentally fell into the river." Amber lowered his head and replied.
"No, it was clearly Master He who pushed our Master into the river!" Feicui, the servant who was serving Liu Cainu, hurriedly interrupted.
"Obviously it was Mr. Liu who slipped and fell into the river. It is none of our business." Amber immediately rebutted Jade.
Both sides insist on their own opinions and are unwilling to give in.
Mu Ci did not stop the two palace men and allowed them to argue for a while.
It seemed that neither party was lying. As for the person involved, He Yunv, she looked very calm and was not frightened because she was involved in the murder case.
He Yunv is a new beauty who has just emerged. It is said that Dugu Liancheng was so shocked when he saw He Yunv yesterday that he will order He Yunv to sleep with her today.
How could I have known that such a murder would happen today.
Since there were no witnesses, it was difficult for Mu Ci to draw a conclusion. She simply said to Feng Jiu: "Go and invite the emperor to come over and let the emperor decide."
A little imperial concubine, even if she didn't kill anyone, would still be punished for being involved in a murder case. If she wanted to, of course she could make it impossible for concubine He to stand out forever.
But after all, this is a beauty that the emperor fell in love with at first sight, and the emperor's opinion is more important. It is better for the emperor to decide the case.
Feng Jiu didn't expect that Mu Ci would push the case to the emperor, so he hurried to Yanfu Palace to explain his purpose.
