Chapter 20 Disaster
At the end of the palace banquet, Gu Panfu was already a little tipsy, and the green plum wine tasted sweet. Gu Panfu couldn't help drinking a few more glasses, but she didn't expect her stamina to improve.

Gu Panfu walked on the palace road a little shaky, Hanrui Hanlu hurriedly stepped forward to support her.Gu Panfu's gaze was firmly attracted by the palace lanterns hanging on the corridor, one of which was painted with rabbits, a bit like the one her grandparents bought for her when she was a child in her previous life.She lightly brushed away Hanrui Hanlu's hand that was supporting her, and stood under the palace lantern for a while, looking at it, she wanted this palace lantern.

Han Ruihan showed up and looked at each other, the master seemed a little drunk, and they didn't dare to go up to pull the master casually.

"Lu Qi," Gu Panfu suddenly said, pointing to the lamp, "I want this lamp, you take it down and give it to me."

Lu Qi originally stepped forward to listen to the order respectfully, but he hesitated for a while when he heard this.Looking back at Hanrui and Hanlu's two big maids, Gu Panfu has never been like this, even Hanrui who has been with Gu Panfu for the longest time has never encountered such a situation, and the two of them suddenly lost their minds.

Seeing that Lu Qi hadn't moved for a long time, Gu Panfu turned around strangely: "Lu Qi, why don't you go?"

Seeing the seriousness and seriousness in Gu Panfu's eyes, Lu Qi didn't dare to delay any longer. It's just a lamp, so what if the master wants it.

Lu Qi stood on the railing and took down the lamp and handed it to Gu Panfu.The style of this lamp is actually very simple. It uses ordinary bamboo as the skeleton, and there are two playful rabbits on the paper flowers with some impurities.The candlelight reflected a warm and dim yellow light on a cold winter day. Gu Panfu liked it more and more as she held it in her hand.

Hanrui stepped forward cautiously to support her again: "Master, let's go back."

"it is good."

Just when everyone was about to reach the end of the corridor, a young eunuch suddenly rushed out from the corner: "See Gu Ronghua."

Everyone was taken aback, Lu Qi immediately stood in front of Gu Panfu, and shouted loudly: "Presumptuous!"

Gu Panfu became sober after being frightened by the eunuch. She squinted slightly and looked at the eunuch in front of her. He was wearing the lowest eunuch uniform, and his head was so low that he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Where are you eunuch from?"

"Gu Ronghua forgives the crime, Gu Ronghua forgives the crime, and the slave sweeps the eunuchs in Taichen Palace. The emperor was a little drunk and said he wanted to see Gu Ronghua. Mr. Ming Zhong took care of the emperor and couldn't leave, so he asked the servant to come to Ronghua." He kowtowed several times, with anxiety in his tone.

Gu Panfu didn't speak, a gust of cold wind blew from the corridor, the little eunuch was sweating on his back, and shivered violently when he was blown by the cold wind.

"I haven't seen you in Taichen Palace." Gu Panfu's eyes were cold.

"Master Gu, the slaves are usually responsible for some chores. Today happened to be sweeping snow in front of the palace, and the emperor was in a hurry to catch up, so Eunuch Mingzhong pointed out the slaves." His voice became more urgent, "How dare the slaves deceive the master, Gu Ronghua Follow the servants and you will know."

"Lu Qi, gag me and beat me hard, then tie it up and throw it back into the utility room." Gu Panfu's voice was normal, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was endless storm in her eyes.There was no snow at all today, and the Taichen Palace had strict rules. If Xie Xiao was in the palace, Mingzhong would not allow such a lowly eunuch to approach the door.What's more, Ming Zhong has been the chief eunuch for so many years, no matter how urgent he is, he will not just grab a sweeping eunuch to send a message.Also, based on Gu Panfu's selfishness, if Xie Xiao wanted to see a concubine after he was drunk, it would be more credible to say that the sun rises in the west, maybe it could be someone else, anyway, it wouldn't be her.

As soon as Gu Panfu finished speaking, the little eunuch knew that he had exposed himself, and wanted to run away when he got up.Kicked in the back by Lu Qi, he threw himself on the ground with a loud "Ouch", and the other two eunuchs who came out today held him down and gagged him.Together, the three of them dragged the little eunuch to the open space and beat him up severely.

"Master... don't you want to ask?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, don't rush this moment." No matter whose trap this is, it doesn't work now.Gu Panfu has been busy all day, and she is so tired that she doesn't even want to watch Sui, she just wants to go back to sleep.

Back at Xiaoyu Xiaozhu, Mama Ma sent a bowl of hot soup.Gu Panfu drank hot soup and felt much better. Smelling the smell of wine and incense on her body, she wanted to take a bath.While boiling the water, Hanlu told Mama Mama what happened today, and Mama Mama frowned: "Who is so courageous to do this during the New Year's Eve, without fear of bad luck?"

Hanlu also frowned: "Yeah, luckily the master is smart enough to see through the eunuch's lies, or else he doesn't know what's going to happen."

"Anyway, the man has already been caught, and I will wait for the master's order to interrogate her tomorrow." Mama Mama is full of enthusiasm. She has not shown any skills since she came to Gu Panfu, and this time she has to let the master see her as an old woman. Ability.

When Gu Panfu took a bath, she was about to fall asleep in the bathtub, and was wiped dry by the waiter, Hanrui insisted on pulling her to watch the year and not let her sleep.Said that this was Gu Panfu's first year in the palace and it was unlucky not to observe the year, so he forced her to sleep after stuffing her with a white and fat dumpling.

Gu Panfu slept very well this night, she had no dreams all night, and woke up early in the second day of junior high school.Today is the real annual leave, the empress is magnanimous, she said yesterday that there is no need to go to pay her respects before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Gu Panfu stretched her waist, she still has a lot of things to do today.

"Master is awake, why don't you call me a servant girl." Hanrui came in, saw that Gu Panfu had gotten up, and brought water to clean Gu Panfu's face.

"What about the eunuch?"

"It's still closed. I had a fever at night, but I'm awake."

"That's fine, just ask Lu Qi to give him some water, so that he doesn't die." Interrogation is also skillful.Gu Panfu intends to sharpen the eunuch's will first, and the rest is easy to ask. If he is really determined and would rather die than submit, she will give him a good time.

At this time, Mama Ma walked in with a little panic, "Master."

Gu Panfu raised her eyebrows, Mama Mama has been in the palace for decades, what could make her frightened: "What's wrong?"

Mama Ma took a few steps forward and whispered in Gu Panfu's ear for a while. Following Ma Mama's words, Gu Panfu's eyes gradually widened.Hanrui, who could occasionally hear a few words, was also full of horror, and the hands that combed Gu Panfu's hair trembled.

After finishing speaking, Mother Ma took a step back and asked, "Master, what about the eunuch?"

Gu Panfu didn't expect it to be such a private matter, and now the eunuch has become a hot potato, her face became cold and serious: "Nurse, go find some dumb medicine and feed it to him, don't let him talk too much, and send it to Go to the Department of Punishment. He said that he was originally a mute, and he was a handyman, but today he wanted to steal and was discovered."

"Master, the empress is here." Lu Qi's voice sounded from outside.

Gu Panfu asked Hanrui to answer, and said to Mama Ma: "Do this quickly, and don't let people find out. I will leave Lu Qi to help Mama later." She thought for a while and said : "Mommy, it's about the royal family, this is not something we should know, does mommy understand?"

Nanny Ma nodded: "Your servant understands, master don't worry, I will deal with it properly." Nanny Ma knows what to say and what not to say better than Gu Panfu. Pretending not to know.

When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, Gu Panfu silently glanced around and found that almost everyone had arrived.Only one Li Guiren was missing. Li Guiren lived with Zhao Jiarong and Zhao Meiren in the Jingning Palace, and they were together no matter whether they went in or out on weekdays, but they were not there for such a big event today.

The atmosphere in the hall was condensed, and no one spoke.When the queen appeared, everyone asked An to sit down, and the queen said, "Last night, Li Guiren caught a cold. I was afraid that she would infect the second prince, so I moved her from Jingning Palace to another place. Li Guiren is sick. Don't disturb me either."

Everyone should be.

The queen said again: "Yesterday there were a few unruly eunuchs who spread rumors in the palace. This palace has already been dealt with by others, so don't worry about it. But don't be slack because of the New Year's Eve, and take care of your own palace. The servants in the house."

Everyone knew what the empress was talking about. It was the empress who told them that the matter was over and they were not allowed to bring it up again. Everyone obediently agreed.

The queen chatted a few more words, asked about palace affairs, and left.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, everyone had unspeakable expressions on their faces.Yuan Chongrong was even more disgusted: "What is this called?" He threw the veil, got on the sedan chair and left.

It turned out that the emperor was going to watch the new year with the empress last night, and the empress took the initiative to say that she was pregnant, fearing that the lack of energy would disturb the emperor's interest.The emperor went back to Taichen Palace by himself, and later thought that the third brother Qin Wang's family was staying in the palace today, so he invited Qin Wang to watch the new year together.Everything was fine at first, but after a while, King Qin went back, and Xie Xiao was going to bed.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Ganlu Hall, he smelled a strange fragrance, and saw a figure on the bed from a distance, Xie Xiao immediately became angry, and asked Ming Zhong to drag him down with a gloomy face.

The woman's hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and when she was pulled in front of the emperor wearing a red bellyband, her face was already flushed and she was gasping for breath.Ming Zhong lifted her hair and saw that she was almost scared to death, but she was the eldest daughter of Qin Wang's family, Rou Min, county head.

The hall fell to one knee in an instant, not daring to take a breath, for fear of being dragged out by the enraged emperor and hacked.Xie Xiao was so nauseated that he couldn't sleep anymore.Immediately let Mingzhong be dragged down to wake up and interrogate him.

This question revealed many things at once.The Rumin county lord has long had a deep love for Xie Xiao and has been planning for a long time.She first bribed a young eunuch who was with his father to send a letter to her.On New Year's Day, he followed Princess Qin into the palace early, asked his personal maid to bribe the lowest eunuchs with money, taught them a passage, and asked them to go to the concubines at the end of the palace banquet. At that time, everyone went outside the palace, and asked the eunuch to lead the concubines to a place where there were many outside men.It's a pity that no stupid concubine in the palace would be fooled by this. Even the precious concubine knew that the emperor would watch the new year with the queen on New Year's Day.I just don't know what happened to Li Guiren.

The head of Roumin County sneaked into Taichen Palace under the pretext of sending a cloak to King Qin due to the cold weather.On the grounds that the emperor felt cold and the Manna Hall was closer, he moved the fire cage in the hall to go there, and sent away the eunuchs and maids near the Manna Hall.After the eunuch and maid moved the fire cage, she asked her maid to come forward and say that she had returned to King Qin's side, and just let them carry their things and follow the maid.On the other hand, he got into the Ganlu Hall and hid well, threw aphrodisiac incense and guarded Xie Xiaolai.

There is no fire cage in Ganlu hall, so it was very cold.County Lord Roumin was wrapped tightly in the quilt at first, but after smelling the aphrodisiac, her body became hot and she couldn't care less.

This matter is regarded as a royal scandal, and it is disgusting for the niece to mention the incest with her uncle.King Qin knelt outside the Liangyi Hall early in the morning, and Ming Zhong also went to get the board himself.The imperial guards in the palace have strengthened their patrols. Mama Ma has been in the palace for many years and has a keen sense, so she asked the old sisters everywhere, and only after hearing something inside, she went back and told Gu Panfu immediately.Thanks to Gu Panfu's cleverness, she quickly dealt with the eunuch. If she delays a little bit, people will know that the eunuch was bought by Lord Roumin.Who wouldn't doubt that Gu Panfu knew something, wouldn't the emperor think of it when he saw Gu Panfu again?No one could say for sure, at that time Li Gu Panfu was about to fall out of favor.
