The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"What?" Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, showing a terrified expression, "You mean, these are secret eyeliners planted in the palace?" She looked at the booklet in her hand, and suddenly felt that it had become extremely hot.

An Lingrong pondered for a while, then said after deliberation: "We'd better wait for the emperor to come back and let the emperor decide." After a pause, he continued, "To be on the safe side, sister should take care of these people in private first."

"Will it scare the snake?" Shen Meizhuang hesitated.

An Lingrong was also worried about this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't sisters set up a trap?"

On the other side, Yuanmingyuan has also begun to set up a bureau.

Zhen Huan still lived in Bitong Academy, and invited Concubine Qi, Fang Chunyi, and Xin Chang to come over to talk at night, her words were full of intimacy: "If you want me to say, what kind of status is that Miao promise? It's not as good as the emperor's pampering. After arriving at Yuanmingyuan, she will serve her for eight or nine out of ten days. It's really hard to see."

"We can't see what's the use of seeing, and we can't help the emperor like it." Xin Chang said bluntly, smiling and sarcasm, "I heard that this wonderful promise came from the people, and I learned a lot of skills in serving others, the emperor..." She leaned closer to Zhen Huan and whispered something in Zhen Huan's ear.

Zhen Huan blushed when she was told: "Sister Xin, where did you learn this nonsense, and it makes people laugh when you say it."

Xin Chang laughed loudly, and patted her with a handkerchief: "Why are you ashamed, we all serve the emperor, we all know that, she dared to do that, what can we not say? "At the end, he glanced at Fang Chunyi again, "Your Majesty Zhen, why not ask her for advice, maybe the emperor can pamper you more."

"Sister Xin is making fun of me, I don't want to learn." Fang Chunyi blushed.

Miao Kexin has served too many bedsides lately, more or less rumors have spread about the things between the beds, saying that she is passionate and unrestrained, her voice is like a yellow warbler when she is favored, her soft words are charming, even if she listens too much, she feels hot-blooded The superiors, let alone the emperor, said that she was highly skilled, and that she would pester the emperor until midnight to call for water. When the palace people entered, they could only smell the salty smell of the room. On the emperor's body, the picture is particularly fragrant.

Fang Chunyi naturally heard about it, and even secretly practiced it in private, but she couldn't get in. Now Xinchang suddenly brought the topic to her, and she felt guilty for no reason.

Xin Chang was in his exquisite heart, seeing Fang Chunyi's reaction like this, his heart was like a mirror, but he didn't point it out, and started chatting about other things.

At this time, Xiao Yunzi came in and passed on a message, saying: "Return to your empress, the emperor turned over the sign of Miao's promise again tonight."

Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows, raised her hand to let Xiao Yunzi back down, and then said: "Listen, the emperor asked me to agree again."

"It's not like this in the past few days. The emperor has a new favorite, and he's on his way." Concubine Qi sneered, and followed Zhen Huan's words.Ever since the punishment of kneeling on the long street, she has always been short of breath towards Zhen Huan. When she received the invitation today, she was quite flattered, and after thinking for a long time, she still came.

"Based on what kind of new favorite she is, yesterday she was a lowly servant, but today she climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed." Zhen Huan sneered, "I think she dirty the bed of the Qingyan in Kyushu."

"Concubine Guan, don't lose your sense of proportion when you speak, it would be bad if someone else hears it." Concubine Qi said coldly.

Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows indifferently: "Mother, this is the truth. Since the concubine dares to tell the truth, she is not afraid that someone will spread it to the outside world. She will only know how powerful she is if she makes this new favorite lose her favor."

It was not the first time that Zhen Huan had slandered Miao Kexin like this, since she arrived in Yuanmingyuan, she hadn't seen the emperor a few times.During the day, the emperor mostly summoned Fang Chunyi to serve in the Palace of Qinzheng, while at night he summoned Xing Miao Kexin, who couldn't meet Zhen Huan at all, no wonder she was so angry.

Sitting aside, Fang Chunyi felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, completely unaware of what Zhen Huan meant by saying this.

Afterwards, she told the queen about it.

The queen frowned and pondered for a long time before she said: "Concubine Guan has never been so jealous, what happened during this time?" Instead, he felt strange, "It seems that he is deliberately agreeing to Miao."

Fang Chunyi frowned and thought about it, and said: "Concubine Wan has always been favored, but now she is taken away by someone who is not as good as her, it is reasonable for her to have resentment in her heart, not to mention, the emperor has listened to many things these days. After hearing Concubine Guan's complaints, I told my concubines a lot about Concubine Wan, and I think it was because of this that the Emperor didn't see her very much these days." After a pause, she continued, "The Emperor is in high spirits, Concubine Wan These jealous and sour words are too disappointing."

"I always feel that something is not right." The queen couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she put it aside and said, "The emperor will hold a banquet in Kyushu in a few days, so remember to go there earlier. This Palace has arranged for you to be next to Concubine Guan."

"Madam, Concubine Guan has already made up her mind to clear the relationship with the concubine. No matter how the concubine behaves, she will ignore her. Why bother to let the concubine's hot face stick to her cold ass?" Fang Chunyi was a little unhappy "What's more, Concubine Guan is not favored now, maybe in a few days, she will be despised by the emperor." Just like she once fell out of favor, she was silent in the corner of the harem in obscurity.

"Confused." The queen raised the end of her eyes and gave her a glance, "Concubine Guan has not yet fallen out of favor, and with her face, the emperor will not really neglect her. I want you to get close to her, Just be obedient, don't make up your own mind, do you still want to taste the taste of being out of favor?"

Fang Chunyi couldn't understand, but seeing that the queen didn't want to explain to her, she could only answer embarrassingly.

"Is everything ready?" Shen Meizhuang asked Caiyue and Caixing.

"Yes, according to the order of the empress, all kinds of stolen goods have been placed in their residences." Caiyue nodded and replied, "The servants also put some in the yard as the empress Rongbi said."

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang with a smile, and said: "At that time, it will be difficult to tell the truth from the fake, and it will definitely become a mess. At that time, my sister can take advantage of this muddy water to fish out these people one by one."

"I have already talked about this with the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother is still sick, she agrees very much. She also said that there was such an unwritten rule in the palace before. All the maids in the palace were from the Eight Banners. If they are not selected, they will climb up." Needless to say, the eunuchs are supposed to come in by prostitution. When there is a shortage of manpower, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will open the back door to pick people in privately, which can save a lot of energy. There are also so many people, if you don't sort it out, who knows who is mixed in." Shen Meizhuang nodded and said, "Fortunately, Shoukang Palace is clean, and there are no idlers involved. I have to live here, and the rest, even in the Queen's Palace, there are two."

"It's going to be dawn soon." An Lingrong looked up at the sky that was beginning to turn pale outside the window, and murmured softly.

There was silence in Chuxiu Palace, except for the ticking water clock in the yard. Mrs. Qi was so hot that she couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned on the bed, and sat up irritably, just about to vent her anger, suddenly Hearing the sound of gongs and drums outside, he was startled: "What happened?"

Jingtai also got up in a hurry, heard the words and ran out to inquire about it, and hurriedly ran back to reply: "Eunuch Jin came to report to Empress Hui, saying that a key to the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was lost, and Director Jiang hurried in when he found out. After counting it, I found a lot of things missing, the concubine Hui was in a hurry, and said that she wanted to search the palace!"

"At the feet of the dignified emperor, who dares to be so rampant and steal into the treasury!" Qi nobleman opened his eyes wide in shock.

Just as he was talking, Shen Meizhuang led someone in, with a smile on his face, but his words were undeniably tough: "I disturbed my sister Qi early in the morning, and Curry lost a lot of important things." Treasures, my palace suspected that the servants' hands and feet were not clean, so I searched the six palaces according to the Queen Mother's order. I have the right to assist the six palaces, so I should set an example, so I started the investigation from Chuxiu Palace, and please don't mind my sister .”

Seeing that even the empress dowager from Shenmeizhuang moved out, Mrs. Qi naturally had no second thoughts, stood up and responded with a smile: "Sister Hui can do it herself. Since it is for the peace of the palace, there is absolutely no second opinion about concubines."

"Then I will thank my sister first." Shen Meizhuang lowered his eyes with a smile and bowed, motioning for Caiyue to lead a search, and then said, "You don't need to search for people around Mr. Qigui, they are all trustworthy, only search for those who were there before. The people in the palace will do.”

Qigui thought that Shen Meizhuang was selling her face, so she smiled and accepted it.

Mrs. Qi entered the palace late, and only grabbed an old lady who was in charge of cleaning in the backyard. Shen Meizhuang took her and left without saying a word.

Looking at the back of Shenmeizhuang leaving in such a hurry, Mrs. Qi felt a little strange, what kind of treasure was lost, to search the palace with such fanfare?
For three whole days, the maids and eunuchs of the Sixth Palace were in dire straits. They seemed to smell something bad, and everyone began to feel insecure. Some experienced people reacted immediately, and ran to Shenmeizhuang to expose them. Seek self-protection.

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang didn't say a word, and continued to search the palace inch by inch for the stolen goods.

"I don't know if I don't check it. It's really shocking to check it." Shen Meizhuang spread out the things found in the past three days on the table for An Lingrong to see, "Except for the 330 palace people who have not been registered, They also found out a lot of insidious affairs, such as stealing property from the palace and selling it outside the palace, court ladies and eunuchs giving and receiving privately, killing people and burying their bodies to cover up their crimes, etc. It sounds shocking."

"Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. This palace has never been a clean place." An Lingrong glanced at the table covered with paper, and sighed softly, "What does sister mean?"

Shen Meizhuang shook her head lightly: "Come on step by step. If I cook everything in one go, I'm afraid I'll get angry." She smiled wryly, "The year before last, I only cooked a bowl of mung bean soup, and I just cooked a bowl of mung bean soup. I was almost attacked by the palace crowd, it's better not to stretch your hands too far, even if you want to investigate these things, it's up to the empress to take action, what's the matter if I take action." She will find out Put all the things together and put them aside, I still picked up the roster, "I'd better take a closer look at this list."

An Lingrong smiled slightly, and turned to look at the roster following Shen Meizhuang's gaze. Behind the densely packed names were the contents that had been found so far. At a glance, she saw several people who were born in Yangzhou, Suzhou. Somehow, A strange feeling suddenly surged in my heart.

Outside the palace, Meng Jingxian's expression changed when she received the news: "All the internal lines in the palace lost contact overnight?"

"Yes, today was supposed to be the day when the news from Mu Jin came out. The servant waited behind the corner gate of Shenwumen as usual, but no one came at noon. I went around to the corner tower to look for Yuyang, but there was no one there. Look at her." Jiang Cailan said with a serious face, "The slaves have tried every means to find Zixiang and the others, but there is no news. After inquiring around, I found out that the palace was thieves a few days ago, Concubine Hui The empress searched the Liugong and detained many people, Mu Jinyuyang and the others were all imprisoned."

"Nonsense! What important thing is lost, and you want to search the Sixth Palace with such a big fanfare?" Meng Jingxian's face paled slightly, "Don't let someone notice something about the prince's arrangement..." She hesitated, and immediately ordered, "Send a letter immediately to inform the prince of this matter!"

"Yes." Jiang Cailan took the order, and disappeared in place in a flash.

Meng Jingxian clutched her chest, trying to calm herself down, and began to think about whether she had done something lately that gave her away. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't figure out why, and finally forced herself to explain: "Could it be that Concubine Hui took advantage of the Seeing that the queen is not in the palace, in order to gain power for yourself, did you deliberately make such a fuss?"

No matter what the reason is, these insiders who have been buried for so many years are probably going to be abolished.Meng Jingxian came to her senses, angry and anxious, recalling all the energy and financial resources she had spent on these insiders in the past few years, all of which was wasted overnight, she couldn't help but slammed the coffee table next to her.

But now is not the time to be angry, what is more important is to find a way to make them shut up and not involve the prince.

Meng Jingxian took a deep breath and exhaled again, thinking quickly about what to do next.
