A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C146
Her Majesty first looked around before turning her gaze to the corpse. Her eyes were calm and emotionless. Finally, she turned her gaze to Senior Servant Blue. This time, her face was full of uncertainty.
After a long while, the empress dowager said, “You’re excused.”
Leng Qiyue and Senior Servant Lan rose to their feet. The empress dowager then pointed at Senior Servant Lan and asked, “Who is she?”
Leng Qiyue hurriedly replied, “Reporting to the empress dowager, she’s the mama that takes care of Cheng’er.”
“Oh? “Raise your head.” Her Majesty said coldly.
Senior Servant Lan had no choice but to raise her head and stare at the ground.
The empress dowager looked Lan mama’s face carefully and said, “He looks like an old friend. What’s your name?”
Senior Servant Lan replied, “In reply to Esteemed Empress Dowager, this servant’s name is Blue Yuan Yuan.”
“Mn, how long have you been in the palace? Why have you still not left the palace at this age? ” The empress dowager’s expression became much calmer as she asked like a chatterbox.
Senior Servant Lan unhurriedly said, “This servant has been in the palace for forty years. Because my family suffered a natural disaster and had no relatives, I wish to retire to the palace.”
The empress dowager continued to ask, “If you entered the palace forty years ago, then where did you work when you first entered?”
Senior Servant Lan replied, “To reply esteemed empress dowager, this servant entered the palace as an elegant girl. Later on, I was unable to obtain a saint’s favor, so I was assigned to the racetrack department. It was only when esteemed wangfei found people to take care of the First Prince that this servant was transferred to the Mu Xiang Palace. When esteemed wangfei lost her life, this servant will follow the imperial concubine. ”
“Mn, you’re just a palace maid and you haven’t given birth yet, so why did Mu Fei choose you?” Her Majesty continued to probe further.
Senior Servant Lan was still calm as she replied, “To reply esteemed empress dowager, because this servant has more siblings, this servant will help the Empress Dowager take care of the child. As a result, this servant is rather familiar with taking care of the child, so esteemed mufei chose this servant to take care of the First Prince.”
“Understood, you may leave.” The empress dowager had actually let Lan mama go so easily.
Senior Servant Lan bowed and left at a leisurely pace.
The empress dowager then shifted her gaze to Leng Qiyue. “Why can’t you just be more peaceful and not act recklessly just because the First Prince is here? What about the eunuch? ”
Leng Qiyue was startled. So the empress dowager had come for Xue Ling. Thus, she said, “Reporting to the empress dowager, Little Spirit is recuperating in the side hall.”
The empress dowager gave a cold snort. “Someone, bring the little spirit to the affairs room. We’ll distribute her after her injuries are healed.”
The two eunuchs replied before heading to the side chamber.
The empress dowager continued, “Even though he has become a eunuch, you all have done so before. This person must not stay in your palace, otherwise, won’t others laugh at him?”
“…” Leng Qiyue didn’t know what to say, so she could only lower her head in a penitent manner.
The two eunuchs dragged Xue Ling out. The Empress Dowager looked at Xue Ling’s face and thought to herself, “She really is a peerless beauty. No wonder they know how to write flutes in secret.”
“Enough, you can just stay here peacefully. To be frank, no matter how you try, it won’t be able to save the emperor’s heart.” What man could stand to have his woman touched by another man? Do your best. ” With these words, the empress dowager left the Moon Palace.
Leng Qiyue watched her leave with some misgivings in her heart. Could it be that the empress dowager had come for Xue Ling? Seeing Senior Servant Lan was just a coincidence? And that assassin, was he sent by her? Why didn’t she have any reaction when she saw the assassin?
In fact, it wasn’t just Leng Qiyue who had doubts about assassins, but the empress dowager as well. She had never thought that she would run into a dead body when she went to the Moon Flower Hall to ask for someone.
When the empress dowager returned to the Palace of Virtue, she called Lin Fei and asked, “Did you send someone to Moon Splendor Hall to kill Leng Qiyue?”
Lin Fei was startled by the question. “Why would the empress dowager ask that?” I didn’t send anyone! ”
When the empress dowager saw that Lin Fei didn’t seem to be lying, she asked, “If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be?”
“Esteemed Empress Dowager, what happened?” Lin Fei asked curiously.
The empress dowager said, “You pestered This Dowager to get that eunuch over the past few days. This Dowager went today, but an assassin actually appeared in Yue Hua Palace. This Dowager thought you had sent him.”
“Esteemed empress dowager, are you alright?” Are you hurt? ” Anxiety flashed across Lin Fei’s eyes.
When the empress dowager saw that she was concerned about her, she comforted her with a smile, “It’s nothing. By the time I went back, the assassin was already dead. Alright, the person you want is already in the service room. When he recovers, he’ll give you a kilometer. Right now, Leng Qiyue cannot afford to cause any trouble, so don’t waste your energy on her. Just settle down and wait for her to give birth to a prince. ”
When it came to princes, Lin Fei was worried again. “But …” If… “If the birth is …”
The empress dowager slammed the table and shouted, “If there’s no such thing as’ if ‘, do you hear me?”
Lin Fei was frightened out of her wits and saw that the empress dowager was angered. She hastened to smile. “It’s the prince, it must be the prince. Esteemed Empress Dowager should rest well, so your niece won’t bother you any longer.” Lin Fei had the gall to act like a mouse in front of the empress dowager and quickly retreated from the Palace of Virtue.
Meanwhile, the emperor had already seen the assassin’s corpse.
Dongfang Haotian rubbed the gold medallion in his hand, and after thinking for a long time, he finally heard Eunuch Rong’s question.
“RongZhuo An, is this your east factory’s command medallion?” Dongfang Haotian threw the gold plate in front of the kneeling Eunuch Rong.
Eunuch Rong picked it up and looked at it carefully before saying, “Reporting to the Emperor, this token is an imitation.”
Dongfang Haotian frowned and asked: “Imitated?”
From his bosom, he took out an identical medallion and said, “Although the real Eastworks medallion is called a golden medallion, it is made of brass and is plated with a layer of gold. “This method is for saving money in the treasury. Actually, in the palace, other than the medallion bestowed by the Emperor being made of pure gold, the rest of the medallions are only made of bronze. This gold medallion is made of pure gold, so the creator must be someone extraordinary.”
“Oh? Eunuch Rong is not young anymore. Would it be difficult for you to take charge of the East Branch? ” Dongfang Haotian probed.
An unreadable emotion flashed through Rong Zhuo An’s eyes. He respectfully said, “Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your servant’s body is robust and does not feel burdened at all.”
Dongfang Haotian’s eyes turned cold and he said, “Eunuch Rong should find someone to take over as soon as possible. I heard that your great-grandson is about to get married. Why don’t you go back and take a look?”
Rong Zhuo An kowtowed and said: “Once a servant enters the palace, they will be a part of the palace, and even if they die, they will be a ghost of the palace. Their children will have their own blessings, and they won’t need a servant to take care of them.”
When Dongfang Haotian saw that he was determined not to give up the east yard, and that he couldn’t force the matter, he could only give up: “Good, Eunuch Rong is loyal and devoted to the court. His heart is worthy of praise. Someone, give us a thousand taels of silver.”
“Thank you for the gift, your servant will take his leave.” Eunuch Rong was someone who knew what to do, so he quickly turned around and left.
Dongfang Haotian rubbed the gold medallion and thought, “Who is the one who went to the Moon Flower Palace to cause trouble? And the target was an unremarkable nanny? It’s a pity that Leng Qiyue’s body has not fully recovered yet, so I can’t let my guard down.
The assassination of Senior Servant Lan had become a mystery. No one knew who or what the mastermind behind the assassins were, but it cast a shadow over their hearts.
Every few days, Dongfang Haotian would send someone to deliver some baby protection medicine to her. Although Leng Qiyue could not understand Dongfang Haotian’s thoughts, she didn’t refuse and continued to enjoy them peacefully.
Lin Fei did not return. The Moon Flower Hall was so quiet that only the sounds of birds and insects could be heard.
Ah–so stuffy!” Leng Qiyue could no longer bear the loneliness and wanted to sneak out of the palace.
Senior Servant Lan glanced at Han Liu, who nodded and walked to Leng Qiyue’s side. “Empress can’t endure this any longer?” When Princess Changle enters the palace, you’ll be busy. ”
Leng Qiyue rolled her white eyes and said, “What business does she have with me when she enters the palace?”
“Although this servant has never seen the princess enter the palace, I heard that there will be a grand welcoming banquet. As long as it’s not someone who has committed all sorts of heinous crimes, the Empress will be attending.
Leng Qiyue sneered, “Extremely evil? Is it a crime to have an affair with a person and have evil seeds? ”
Han Liu pursed her lips but didn’t say anything. In the harem, this wasn’t considered a crime, so what else could he do?
Leng Qiyue waved her hand. “I’m not interested. It’s even more impossible for a show to be performed.”
Senior Servant Lan smiled. “Esteemed Empress, based on the date, Princess Changle should have settled in the side courtyard. Why don’t you go investigate?”
Han Liu’s eyes widened. “No, Lan mama. How could you support the Empress leaving the palace?”
Senior Servant Lan continued, “The Empress has already made up her mind to leave the palace. Can we stop her? Might as well point the Empress in the right direction and do something useful. ”
Leng Qiyue looked at Lan mama with admiration. “I knew mama was the best! Haha, I’m going …” Leng Qiyue rushed into the room and quickly changed her things. She took the token from last time and flipped it out of the palace wall.
What she didn’t know was that once she went to the Imperial Palace, a bloody incident had occurred … This was the pain of her life …
