Chapter 97 The Harem
Is this to comfort her?

It's obviously to sprinkle salt on her wounds!
Concubine Tian Shu gritted her teeth secretly, and had to force a smile: "Your Majesty said yes. This bitch~ maidservant~, I will kill her sooner or later! Otherwise, everyone in the palace is educated and capable, so what's the deal?"

After a pause, he sighed again: "I have suffered so badly today, so I can't say I have suffered. I should investigate the Oasis Palace of the Empress well, so as not to implicate the Empress if something happens in the future."

Concubine Cao's eyes flashed, and she said calmly: "My sister reminded me. There are nearly two thousand palace people in this harem, and there are not a few of them who are active. It's time to rectify it."

A few light and fluffy words revealed a chilling coldness.

The one holding the Phoenix Seal is just so majestic!
Concubine Tian Shu felt sour in her heart and echoed a few words.

Concubine Cao looks down on Concubine Tian Shu from the bottom of her heart.Concubine Tian Shu was a foot-washing servant next to Empress Liu, so what was the difference between what she did and betraying the master?
In the palace, the most taboo thing is to go beyond one's master to flatter the emperor.

Concubine Tian Shu was lucky to be pregnant with the dragon species, gave birth to King Zhao, and became a concubine.

Empress Liu was so angry that she fell ill immediately.Concubine Tian Shu still had a shy face, and wanted to raise King Zhao to the childless Empress Liu, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was kicked out by Empress Liu unceremoniously.

Not a few people know about this old matter in the palace.Concubine Cao is naturally clear, and she is quite contemptuous of Concubine Tian Shu.

She is the noble concubine in charge of palace affairs, only one step away from the phoenix position, so she naturally has the bearing of a noble concubine.Hearing that Concubine Tian Shu was unwell, she had to visit her in person.

"You have a rest." Concubine Cao patted the back of Concubine Tian Shu's hand with a gentle voice: "Don't take those nonsense things to heart."

"I'll see you again when I'm free some other day."

After Concubine Cao "pacified" Concubine Tian Shu, she got up and left.

Did not go back to Ganquan Palace, but went to Compassion Palace.

Empress Dowager Cao is seventy-eight years old this year, which is a rare longevity in this year.

Empress Dowager Cao has silver hair, wrinkled face, and many brown spots on her face.However, Empress Dowager Cao loves beauty very much, and she has to apply a thick layer of makeup every day to cover all the spots before she is willing to see people.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Cao likes to wear red.

Think about it, at an old age, with a hunchback body, walking tremblingly, with a face painted white, wearing a red palace dress... How hot this picture is!
Fortunately, Concubine Cao was able to boast with a smile: "The empress dowager's red dress is very beautiful today."

Empress Dowager Cao was praised for her physical and mental comfort, and she grinned, showing a few missing teeth.

A turbid smell rushed towards him.

Concubine Cao quietly held her breath.

An old man who is nearly eighty years old, it is inevitable that he has an old man's smell on his body.Empress Dowager Cao also likes to sprinkle flower dew on her dresses. The fragrance is mixed with the stench, and the smell is really unbearable.

Empress Dowager Cao did not come out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, but she knew exactly what was going on in the palace: "How is Cuiwei Palace going?"

Concubine Cao supported Empress Dowager Cao's arm, and replied in a low voice: "Concubine Shu was so angry that she vomited blood. With the imperial doctor taking care of her, she should rest for a while, and there should be nothing serious."

Empress Dowager Cao's words were leaking, her voice was a little slurred, but the dissatisfaction in her tone was clearly visible: "You bastard with shallow eyelids! She dared to reach out of the palace for a little money. This time, she happened to chop off her hand!"

"That's not a little silver." The corners of Concubine Cao's mouth curled into a sarcasm: "Over the past ten years, Tian Kun sent seven to eight million taels of silver into the palace."

She is in charge of the harem, working hard, and the money in her private house is only three to four hundred thousand taels.

Concubine Tian Shu has a big appetite, and she is not afraid to hold on after taking so much money.

Empress Dowager Cao snorted heavily, her dissatisfaction overflowing with words: "What a disgrace!"

Concubine Cao felt relieved when she heard it, and said softly: "It's okay not to talk about these annoying things. Speaking of which, King Yan is very capable. I don't know what method he used to bribe Lu Yi beside Concubine Shu."

It is taboo for the prince's hand to enter the harem.

However, for Empress Dowager Cao, this was nothing.The king of Han is the grandson, and the king of Yan is also the emperor's grandson.Empress Dowager Cao was partial to King Han, and she also loved King Yan very much.

"The King of Yan is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, so what can he do if he has no means." Empress Dowager Cao even opened her mouth to praise King Yan.

Concubine Cao felt a shock in her heart.

Most of her status today is due to her surname Cao.The Empress Dowager Cao is the big tree on top of the Cao family, and also the biggest backer for her and the King of Han.

However, although the Empress Dowager Cao was kind to their mother and son, she did not support the King of Han's fight for the heir.

After all, no matter who is the crown prince, he is the grandson of Empress Dowager Cao, and he must respect and respect the emperor's grandmother.

Empress Dowager Cao is so old that she doesn't need to get involved in these things at all.

"What? You want to take advantage of this matter to punish the harem?" Empress Dowager Cao glanced at Concubine Cao, and seemed to ask casually.

Don't look at Empress Dowager Cao, who is old and terribly old, and her mind is not confused at all, she said exactly what Concubine Cao was thinking.

Concubine Cao's heart trembled slightly, and she hurriedly said in a low voice: "The concubine has no such intention."

Empress Dowager Cao's cloudy old eyes couldn't see the subtle changes in Concubine Cao's expression, but she could imagine it.Empress Dowager Cao reminded lightly: "Just wait a few days and see what the emperor's attitude is."

If Emperor Long'an expressed his dissatisfaction with King Yan, it would be logical for Concubine Cao to use this to clean up the harem.

Otherwise, if Concubine Cao acts in vain without authorization, she will only offend the emperor.

Concubine Cao responded softly.

……

In the evening of that day, the news that Luyi committed suicide in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice spread into the palace.

Emperor Long'an didn't care about the life and death of a mere palace official, he didn't even ask a question.

When the news spread to Cuiwei Palace, Concubine Tian Shu not only didn't get rid of her anger, but became even more angry.A slave who betrayed her master should be killed by her master.

Luyi died in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and she would only make everyone in the palace laugh at her.

Zhao Wang stayed in the palace for a day, and when he heard the news, he was so angry that he laughed: "Take him away in the morning, and he will die in the prison before dark. Fortunately, he can do it!"

Concubine Tian Shu was still holding on to her last ray of hope: "Tell me, would King Yan let Lu Yi fake her death, but in fact send her away secretly?"

King Zhao snorted through his nose: "He is impeccable in his work, how could he leave such a flaw. Luyi's body has been sent back to her home, and a generous sum of money was given for burial."

Concubine Tian Shu said bitterly: "This matter, let's just let it go?"

A haze flashed in King Zhao's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Tian Kun was sentenced to death, and he was executed after Qiu Hou asked him to kill him. He also confiscated his family property. It's a blessing that the mother and concubine were not involved in the case."

"Lu Yi died again."

"We shouldn't act rashly now."

Concubine Tian Shu looked sullen and let out a long sigh.

Zhao Wang changed the subject and said again: "However, I have written down this account, and I must settle it with him in the future."
