When the group entered the palace, Mu Ci was cleaning the table.
Dugu Liancheng saw this and fixed his eyes. He glanced around and saw no servant.
His handsome face darkened slightly: "Where did all the servants of Weiyang Palace die?!"
Mu Ci respected her as the Queen Mother, and cleaning the table should be done by servants, but now it was Mu Ci who did it himself.
Last time he saw with his own eyes how lazy the servants in Weiyang Palace were, and he didn't want to become Benjili. This was contempt for the imperial power.
"Yingchun went to the Shangyi Bureau to get clothes, and Sizhu went to the Imperial Food Bureau to get meals. As for the other servants, the Ai family can't take care of them and they don't want to. The emperor suddenly came to Weiyang Palace and I don't know why?" Mu Ci was busy talking, and there was no Looking directly at Dugu Liancheng and the people behind him.
Seeing this scene, Shen Manyun's heart froze.
She still underestimated Mu Ci, this woman was so scheming, and now she was taking advantage of the situation in Weiyang Palace to kill her!
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's busy figure and frowned.
"Shen Jieyu said that she was humiliated in Weiyang Palace, and I came to seek an explanation from the Queen Mother." Dugu Liancheng lowered his eyebrows coldly, not forgetting the business.
Mu Ci heard this and sat down: "What explanation can the Ai family give? The Weiyang Palace has always been deserted and the servants are lazy, but that doesn't mean that the queen mother of the Ai family can be accused of the Ai family's faults by a little Jieyu! The emperor came just in time, The Ai family cannot control your harem. Since the emperor feels that Shen Jieyu has been wronged, why not hand over the power of the harem to Shen Jieyu to make up for the grievances Shen Jieyu has suffered in the Ai family!"
"Shen Jieyu, what's going on?" Dugu Liancheng looked at Shen Manyun.
Shen Manyun's eyes were red, "I was quick to speak and said something unpleasant, and the Queen Mother became furious and asked the servants to slap me. But I am a third-grade concubine given by the emperor, and the Queen Mother Instead of looking at the monk's face, you should look at the Buddha's face. I just feel that I have lost the emperor's face..."
"What exactly did you say to anger the Queen Mother?" Dugu Liancheng asked.
At this moment, Sizhu took the meal in. She knelt down in front of the emperor and repeated the whole thing.
"The Queen Mother was accused and humiliated by a little Jieyu in front of everyone. Is it wrong for the Queen Mother to punish her? I know that the Emperor is fair in dealing with things. I will never ignore the facts and confuse right and wrong!" Sizhu said, looking at Shen Manyun: "Shen Jieyu relied on the emperor's favor and dared to openly challenge the imperial authority. The Queen Mother just slapped Shen Jieyu, which was an act of mercy outside the law!"
Shen Manyun was secretly shocked.
It was because she was too careless that Mu Ci turned an army against her.
Dugu Liancheng glanced at her and she immediately knelt down on the ground: "I know my mistake. I don't understand the rules. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
"You are indeed terribly wrong. Even I have to respect the Queen Mother, but you dare to disregard the imperial power and dignity and accuse the Queen Mother of her fault. The punishment of the Queen Mother is too light." After pondering for a moment, he raised his voice and said: "From today on Since then, Mr. Shen has been demoted to the rank of a talented person and given a fine of half a year's salary to serve as a warning to others!"
Shen Manyun didn't expect that the emperor would be so cruel and demoted her, a third-grade Jieyu, to a fifth-grade talented person. How would she meet people in the future?
Just half a month ago, she was the emperor's favorite. Why did she fall from a height in such a short period of time?
Her tears fell uncontrollably and her lips trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
This time it was not only her dignity that was hurt, but also her heart.
