Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 40

Ye Ting Prison is the place where people who violated the laws are detained in the palace. Although the environment is much better than that of the Imperial Prison, it is not a treasured place with pleasant scenery.

Gong Zhengsi Sizheng Shen Wenjin didn't see any instructions from the Queen Mother for two days in a row, and he felt uneasy in his heart. Seeing Cui Yun walk in from the courtyard, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To kill or cut, to let go or to keep, there must be something to say, right?
"Master Cui, is it true that the queen mother has already concluded the matter of the madam?"

Shen Wenjin and Cui Yun belong to the same level, but Cui Yun has been serving the queen mother closely, so their status is naturally not the same, Shen Wenjin also opened his mouth very knowledgeably and interestingly.

Cui Yun nodded and said, "Yes, what the queen mother means is that Mrs. Feng's misbehavior and roaring in the inner palace are really hateful, but God has the virtue of good life, and the queen mother can't bear to impose capital punishment, so she resigns her order and becomes a commoner , and punished her to go to Jingning Temple to meditate and pray for the country."

Shen Wenjin echoed the benevolence of the Empress Dowager again and again after hearing the words, but wondered in her heart that the Empress Dowager actually dealt with Xu.

"Where is Mrs. Xu now? You Lao Chen Si is leading the way."

Shen Wenjin took Cui Yun to the prison, turned a few corners, and saw Xu Wan in a small, cold and damp cell.

In just two days, when she entered the palace, the noble lady with her hair full of pearls and emeralds had already lost all her hairpins. She was dying and leaning on the simple wooden bed with her eyes closed.

She looks like a poor person who is neither human nor ghost, who would have thought that this is Xu Wan who ran into the palace to show off her power that day?
Cui Yun ordered to the two little eunuchs behind him, "Help her out."

The little eunuch was ordered to open the cell door, and set up Xu Wan from left to right. Xu Wan opened her eyes, seeing that the situation was wrong, she asked repeatedly, "What are you going to do! You!"

Looking outside, it turned out to be Cui Yun.

"Is the queen mother going to let me out?!" Xu Wan finally got excited.

When Xu Wan was imprisoned, she was still making a fuss, and after a whole day of tossing and no one was answering her, she was completely panicked.

The words also gradually changed from the shrew cursing at the beginning to begging, until he leaned against the corner in despair.

Only now did she understand that the scores she put up in Feng's residence were nothing more than mediocrity in front of absolute power.

"Yes, the Queen Mother is going to let you out, why don't you go quickly?"

Only then did Xu Wan feel relieved, and walked out slowly with the support of two young eunuchs.

"Ms. Cui, where is Yun'er next to me?" When she walked to the carriage, she remembered to ask her personal maid.

After this incident, Xu Wan seemed to have a long memory, and she didn't dare to put on the domineering air to Cui Yun, and asked carefully.

"Ma'am, don't worry, she has already returned to Feng's residence the night before."

This Yun'er was Xu Wan's confidant, seeing that the situation was not right, she quietly turned around and slipped into the carriage back home to report the news. At that time, no one was in the mood to pay attention to such a little maid.

Xu Wan was even more relieved, as long as Yun'er didn't fall into the Queen Mother's hands.

It seems that the Queen Mother still doesn't know about that matter, she should be safe now, she just said, how dare Feng Qing kill her, she will be locked up for two days at most, and she has to be released home.

"The Empress Dowager ordered that Xu Wan's crimes against the emperor and the inner palace should be beheaded according to the law. I feel grateful to the gods for their good life, and the Ai family couldn't bear to impose the death penalty, so I rescinded her orders, abolished her as a commoner, and punished her to go to Jingning Temple to meditate. , Pray for the country."

"Common man Xu Wan, accept the order."

The sun was just right outside, and the person who was shining was warm, but Xu Wan felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head, exuding a bone-chilling chill.

As a result, she might as well be dead!

Her son became a shameful little official, and she was demoted to a commoner. After all these years of painstaking planning, did she end up like this?

What step went wrong?

Cui Yun didn't wait for her to respond, and winked, and the two little eunuchs continued to carry Xu Wan into the carriage.

Xu Wan didn't eat well, didn't sleep well in the past two days, and she didn't have any strength in her body, so she was dragged and dragged into the carriage like this.

There are even bigger surprises waiting for you ahead.

Cui Yun said silently in her heart that in order to implement the queen mother's policy, she even found a dumb person who delivered meals to Xu Wan.

When Sheng Shaoqing heard Cui Yun, who came back to her life, describe Xu Wan's miserable state, she was deeply moved. When Xu Wan bullied Feng Qing back then, did she ever think of today?
The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven forgive?

"But Mrs. Xu specifically asked her maid, and that Yun'er was very cunning. When she saw that something was wrong, she turned around and slipped back to report."

Xu Wan was demoted as a commoner, and Cui Yun didn't have to use the honorific title to address his wife.

"No wonder father knew about it the next day, but without Xu Wan's instruction, why did Yun'er run away?"

"This official sees that Xu Wan doesn't seem to be lying. She really doesn't know that Yun'er has run back. Moreover, when I said that she has gone back, Xu was obviously relieved."

Sheng Shaoqing thought for a while, "There is only one explanation, she has a guilty conscience!"

"Then do you want me to check this Yun'er?"

Sheng Shaoqing nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Sheng Shaoqing's hard work came from the heart. After getting along these days, Cui Yun has treated her meticulously, and she is not a big boss, so she still has to give the performance that should be given.

Turning around, she went to the dressing table to get a box, took out a pair of sapphire blue filigree agate earrings, and handed them to Cui Yun.

"Although these earrings are not big, they are bright in color and exquisite in workmanship. I think they match your skin tone very well. Wear them and don't dislike them."

Cui Yun looked at the pair of earrings in Sheng Shaoqing's hands in amazement. Does the Queen Mother not know how rare this blue agate is, and tell her not to dislike it?
Such an extremely pure top grade, just rewarded to her like this?

Sheng Shaoqing was still a little shy, and she didn't have anything good to give away, so she searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time and only found such a box of jewelry, and it took another long time to find such a pair that she thought was pretty good.

"The queen mother dares not accept such a heavy reward!"

"What's the matter, little gift, little gift, don't shirk it, just accept it."

Seeing Cui Yun, Sheng Shaoqing tried to evade, "If you keep pushing, the Ai family will be angry!"

Cui Yun had no choice but to say, "If the queen mother really wants to reward her, she should reward the minister with the She inkstone that Luoning County attacked."

Sheng Shaoqing saw that Cui Yun's attitude was firm and he wanted to give gifts according to his preferences, so he agreed.

[Host, do you know how to buy people's hearts now? 】

"I call it distribution according to work, okay?"

【Okay, so have you thought about what to do next day? 】

!!!

Sheng Shaoqing didn't have any concept of time when she lived here, she completely forgot how many public holidays she had in a month.

"I'm going to sleep until the sun is up, and then I'll learn how to play Shuanglu with Lianqiao, and then I'll listen to Aning's conversation book!"

After finally taking a break, of course we have to have fun!
The word learning that the system wanted to hear never appeared once.

[I have arranged for you courses such as geography, agriculture, etiquette, official administration, and inner court affairs. You can choose two. 】

The system gave up struggling and started to arrange directly.

"Why do you still have remedial classes on weekends?!"
