After crossing, I became the vicious concubine of the tyrant

Chapter 190
So, in this harem, you still have to be a little smarter.

The sun was in the sky, and the ice in the room turned into water. Nangong Mo woke up in the scorching sun, but felt comfortable all over.

"Your majesty, you're awake." A bowl of cold sour plum soup was placed beside Gu Qingcheng, "The concubine asked someone to cook a bowl of sour plum soup. The emperor tasted it, to wake up?"

Nangong Mo rubbed his forehead slightly, and suddenly remembered Gu Qingcheng's expression when he was dealing with Xizhu.

"Do you think I'm too cruel?"

Gu Qingcheng was busy enjoying the delicious sour plum soup, and the previous incident had long been forgotten.

Hearing this, he was a little dazed for a while, and raised his head in confusion: "Huh? Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Seeing Gu Qingcheng's appearance, Nangong Mo knew that he didn't really mind this matter too much.

On the contrary, he obviously pretended not to care on the surface, but now when he woke up, he started to explain again.

It is simply detrimental to the majesty!
Nangong Mo was a little awkward, but since the words had already been spoken, it could only be finished.

"About Xi Zhu's punishment, do you think I'm too cruel?"

Gu Qingcheng didn't expect that Nangong Mo would be so keenly aware that he only showed a little appearance at that time.

"At that time, there was indeed a little..." Gu Qingcheng put down the sour plum soup in his hand, and said seriously: "But thinking about it later, although His Majesty has always said that he is a tyrant, every time he disposes of people, there is a reason for it, and he is definitely not a person who does what he wants. "

As he said that, he felt that these words seemed a little presumptuous, and looked up at Nangong Mo cautiously, "This time you treated Xi Zhu so seriously, why? Can you talk to my concubine?"

Nangong Mo originally thought that his way of handling things would make Gu Qingcheng avoid him, but he didn't expect that what he heard was such an explanation.

The feeling of soreness and bloating in his heart suddenly improved a lot, Nangong Mo coughed lightly twice.

"Xizhu used to be relegated to the Punishment Division by the late Emperor because of his mistakes."

Nangong Mo said, with a somewhat indifferent expression, "At first, she was a slave in the Punishment Division, which was fine. But with the help of the Empress Dowager, he gradually became a servant of the Punishment Division. Maid in charge."

"Did the Punishment Division set up a separate maid in charge?"

Gu Qingcheng heard something different, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He actually had a reason for asking this question.

In the palace, although there is a female official who is in charge of all food and clothing expenses in the palace, the actual maids in charge are basically people who have served the emperor for many years, and then cooperate with the queen to manage the harem.

This kind of rules and regulations is also for the sake of the emperor's control.

The word "in charge of affairs" refers to being in charge of all affairs in the entire harem of the Forbidden City, not just in charge of the affairs of the first palace.

For example, in Ci'an Palace, the maid in charge of affairs in Ci'an Palace is Cuizhu, but she is only honored as aunt in Ci'an Palace.

But now, Xi Zhu is called the court lady in charge of the Punishment Division.

Nangong Mo glanced at Gu Qingcheng with the eyes of "a child can be taught", and explained lightly: "At the beginning, the maid in charge of the Punishment Department did not become independent, but slowly, Xi Zhu was prudent in punishment. Si became better and better, and the Empress Dowager became the first emperor, a trusted concubine by her side."

"I heard from the old man in the palace that during that time, the unjust, false and wrong cases in the Punishment Department, one after another, not only overwhelmed the maid in charge, but also affected the majesty of the queen."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingcheng is not stupid, so he naturally understood, raised his head slightly, and looked directly into Nangong Mo's eyes: "So in this way, the head of the Punishment Division will be directly independent. is it?"

"Yes, since then, Xizhu has become the head mother of the Department of Punishment."

Nangong Mo said, looking at Gu Qingcheng's thoughtful expression, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "At that time, the late emperor's health went from bad to worse, and now he is too thick and has won the late emperor's trust. hands."

The following words basically don't need to be said completely, almost all of them are already understood.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but think about the situation at that time in her mind. If she was the empress dowager and won the emperor's trust at that time, and the people around her had mastered the largest torture institution in the palace,
In this way, eradicating the words of dissidents is almost equivalent to a piece of cake.

Looking at Gu Qingcheng's expression, Nangong Mo knew that she had fully understood, and said lightly: "If I hadn't been paying attention to the movements of Mingyue Palace today, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get much favor in front of that Punishment Department. share the benefits."

"Besides, you and that nanny only talked for half an hour, and the queen mother heard it. If I hadn't been on the side from the beginning today, I'm afraid the mammy of the Punishment Department would not be so polite, but From the very beginning, I will come up with some unreasonable things to put pressure on you."

Thinking back to the first time when Madam Punishment punished her, she confronted herself, a noble concubine, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

Now she is a noble concubine, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, but just today, a servant of the Punishment Department dared to be so arrogant in front of her.

And at that time... Nangong Mo was even sitting next to him.

"The concubine understands." Gu Qingcheng raised her head and looked at Nangong Mo fixedly. She is not a coy person, "This time, thank the emperor for protecting the concubine, but it's a pity...the matter of pity for the nobles, I'm afraid it will be the end of the matter." The truth cannot be revealed.”

Mentioning the nobleman who died in this turmoil, Nangong Mo frowned slightly, but there was no pity on his face.

"I think that I have given too much preferential treatment to Liangui because he has served me for so long." Nangong Mo's voice was a little cold, "But the hearts of the people are not enough, and Liangui's current fate is just his own fault. "

Although he already had a deep understanding of the emperor's ruthlessness, at this moment, Gu Qingcheng still couldn't help but tremble a little.

The person in front of me is the Nine-Five Supreme, and all the people in the world are his subjects, and there is no king in the world.

In the past, he sympathized and condoned the noble people in every possible way, but now, he just said coldly "it's your fault".

If something happened to him one day, or his injured leg healed, he would be useless to the emperor in front of him.
