Chapter 38
The next day, Gu Panfu coquettishly sent the emperor away with her sore waist and weak legs.Hanlu watched Shichen bring people in to wait for Gu Panfu to get up, the master's expression was flat, and Hanlu couldn't see anything.

It wasn't until Gu Panfu had finished her breakfast and took tea to get rid of the greasy smell that she asked, "How about the precious concubine last night?"

"Zhu'er, who is next to the precious concubine, came several times, but was blocked by Ming Zhong." This Zhu'er is a newcomer, and the precious concubine gave her this name, so she is not afraid of bad luck.

Gu Panfu raised her eyebrows and sneered, "She really has perseverance."

"Master, Yu Liangren sent his personal maid back to the palace yesterday." Hanlu only got the news this morning, and Yu Liangren didn't intend to hide it.

Gu Panfu gave a nonchalant "hmm", and said again: "Let them make trouble, tell Lu Qi that this is a palace, there are many people, don't stretch your hands so long, what should you know and what should not, he There should be a few."

"Yes, master."

"Let's go, let's go to the garden. I remember there is a waterfall in the back mountain. I haven't seen it yet."

As for Xue Yunv, who was missed by Yu Liangren, she lived a very comfortable life in the palace.Some time ago when she was demoted, the whole palace ridiculed her, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to even give the regular money.

Xue Yu was angry, but there was nothing she could do.During that time, she wanted to eat fish very much, and spent a lot of money begging for the imperial dining room several times but failed.For a moment, he was so angry that he passed out.This frightened her own maid-in-waiting, so she hurried to invite the imperial doctor, but everyone in the imperial hospital was busy with their own affairs, so they all shirked and refused to go.In the end, a well-meaning medical officer followed Shi Qin back to Qiushui Pavilion. During this pulse diagnosis, Xue Yunu was already three months pregnant.

"Master, anti-fetal medicine." Shi Qi came in carefully carrying a bowl of medicine. After Shi Hua died, she was the new maid assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Xue Zhichun poured it down without looking at it, "Where's Shiqin?"

"The imperial dining room has stewed a new tonic soup for the master, and sister Shiqin went to get it."

"Hmph, they are acquainted." Xue Zhichun rubbed her stomach, and couldn't help but rejoice in her luck. She really didn't expect that she was pregnant.If Yu Liangren's miscarriage was discovered a few months later, wouldn't he even need to be demoted?

"Master, the imperial doctor told you to walk around in a day, and this servant will help you to go for a stroll in the imperial garden." Shi Qi knew about his senior's painting, and also knew that he was not as trustworthy as Shi Qin by the master.Therefore, after being promoted as a grand lady, she dared not slack in the slightest, and she was cautious.

After hearing this, Xue Zhichun glared at Shiqi, she failed to frame Gu Panfu with poison, and the difference between the two was on the surface.After that, I seldom go to the Imperial Garden, let alone take a stroll.

Shi Qi shrank his neck from being stared at, he didn't know what to say.Shiqin, who happened to bring back the soup, frowned and pushed Shiqi away, "Master, I remember that there is a water pavilion at the other end of the Wanchun Pavilion, and it must be cool and pleasant, with the spring scenery in full bloom."

As expected, Xue Zhichun's complexion improved a little. He took a sip of the tonic soup, and threw the spoon back into the bowl with a bang, it seemed that he still didn't want to go out.

Shi Qin took a round fan and gently fanned Xue Zhichun, "Master, the little prince also wants to go out and have a look." In order to follow Xue Zhichun's wishes, Qiushui Pavilion called this three-month-old embryo the little prince.

"Then let's go for a walk." Hearing the maidservant say the word "little prince", Xue Zhichun smiled smugly, so what if she was deposed, she would get up sooner or later with this prince.

The emperor and the empress went to the palace, and the palace seemed to be less popular, and it was quiet everywhere.Xue Yunv and her group thought that Wan Chunting would do the same, and they didn't want to hear the noisy voice inside from afar.

"Give me a call. The emperor and queen have left the house. They are scrutinizing that there is no one in the palace. Those who don't know the rules really regard themselves as masters." Yuan Xiurong's imposing voice came out, mixed with the cries of slaves and maidservants begging for mercy the sound of.

Shi Qin's face was ugly, she suggested to the master to come here, now that there is such a quarrel inside, the master will definitely be unhappy.

The decree of being promoted in the palace has not yet come back, Xue Yunv still doesn't know that Yuan Xiurong has been promoted, "Shiqin, this is what you said is pleasant. The whole palace knows that Yuan Chongrong is not to be messed with. I led her closer to her."

"Servant, servant, I didn't know that the lady Yuan Chongrong would be here, please forgive me, master." Shiqin broke out in cold sweat, she was really wronged.When she sent the little palace maid to see in advance, there was no one in the Wanchun Pavilion.

Xue Yunu's eyes sank, "Go back and receive the punishment." Xue Zhichun didn't have many people in the palace who looked up to him, and Yuan Xiurong naturally looked down on her too.But Yuan Xiurong is the daughter-in-law of Duke Ding's mansion and the niece of the empress dowager, who is second only to the empress in birth.Moreover, the emperor didn't seem to love Yuan Xiurong, but he went there regularly two or three times a month. On weekdays, Yuan Xiurong was biting everywhere, and the emperor never cared about it once.For example, Yanxuan's servant was spread all over the palace, but the emperor and empress didn't seem to know about it.

Inside the Wanchun Pavilion, Yuan Xiurong was lying on the imperial concubine's couch, a court lady on the left and right was playing a fan, one was beating her leg, and the other was peeling an orange.It was such a pleasant scene, but in front of them were the beaten palace maids and eunuchs who were bloody and bloody. These people couldn't even utter a word of begging for mercy, and passed out directly.

The palace servants who were originally serving at the Wanchun Pavilion all trembled and knelt aside.No matter how they talk about the masters in private, even the last-ranked daughter-in-law can decide their life or death at will.

Shazhi broke open the peeled oranges and slowly fed them to Yuan Xiurong, "Master, if you keep beating them, you might kill someone, it's not good."

Yuan Xiurong lifted his eyelids and glanced at Sazhi, his red lips curled into a mocking smile: "What are you afraid of?"

Saori wanted to say something more, but when she saw Shayi who was beating her legs, she shook her head slightly and closed her mouth again.

Dingguo Gong's faction was still immersed in the dream Xie Xiao had woven for him, and they still laughed at Xie Xiao like a child, and went to the palace in a fit of anger.As everyone knows, on the day Xie Xiao set off from the palace, he secretly sent the forbidden army to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

After all these days, it's time to come back.

Only after Xie Xiao handled the urgent memorial sent by Shangjing, Ming Zhong came in: "Your Majesty, Lord Xie, the commander of the Imperial Army, is here."

"Xuan."

Before Xie Jian came in to salute, Xie Xiao waved his hand: "How is things going?"

"It went well, but two people were injured on the way back." Xie Jian presented a wooden box, which contained the account books of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

"What's going on?" Xie Xiao took over the ledger from Ming Zhong, flipped through a few pages at random, and frowned.

"It is said that I encountered a wave of bandits, and my subordinates said that they seemed to be raised there, not just ordinary bandits." Xie Jian reacted, "Your Majesty, have you already startled the snake, my minister..."

There are bandits near Daying in the outskirts of Beijing. It is a joke to tell people that if it is not specially arranged there, any bandit will die.Xie Xiao ignored Xie Jian's words, but the account book was densely written neatly.But the above accounts are upside down, a catty of rice costs five taels of silver, and a pair of armor costs almost a hundred taels of silver.Xie Xiao laughed angrily, threw out the account book in his hand, and said to Xie Jian in a cold voice: "Now you immediately take people to suppress those mountain bandits, no matter whether they live or die."

Then he said to Ming Zhong with a blank face: "Go and tell the commander of the Imperial City Department to come over and see me."

Ming Zhong didn't dare to lift his head and walked out of the Guanhai Palace to communicate. He didn't go far when he heard the sound of something breaking in the hall behind him, his leather tightened, and he quickened his pace.

In fact, there should be only one army of the Imperial City Division in Shangjing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the camp in the suburbs of Beijing should also be under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Division.As for the imperial army, it has been the emperor's private property throughout the dynasties, generally about 500 people, supported by the emperor's private treasury.

Since the Ding Guogong faction took over the Beijing Suburb Camp, the number of people in the Beijing Suburb Camp has reached tens of thousands, completely splitting the Imperial City Army and the Beijing Suburb Camp.With millions of military pay for a year, all the dirty work was given to the Imperial City Secretary, and all the money went into the pockets of the Dingguo Mansion. Xie Xiao had long wanted to take care of this matter.

Master Shen, the commander of the Imperial City Division, entered the Sea Viewing Palace. The emperor stood with his back to him. He carefully avoided the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, "I see the emperor."

"Ai Qing is flat." Xie Xiao turned around and looked at the 30-year-old Shen Shen in front of him, slowly turning the jade wrench on the thumb with his fingers.Shen family. . .The Shen family has always been the family of generals, Shen Shen's father retired from the position of commander of the Imperial City Division, and he has been loyal to the Xie family for many years.

Being looked at by the emperor like this, Chong Chong didn't show any panic, and stood there steadily all the time.

"Shen Aiqing, I lent you the Tiger Talisman and ordered you to take over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing now. I hope you will not disappoint me." Xie Xiao handed the Tiger Talisman to Ming Zhong, and Ming Zhong presented it to Shen Zhong.

Shen Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the emperor in astonishment.Xie Xiao raised his chin towards him, and only then took the tiger talisman with slightly trembling hands, knelt down and said, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment."

After he went out, Ming Zhong asked someone to come in and clean the hall.He brought the tea up again, and just as he put down the teacup, he heard the emperor's cold voice: "Ming Zhong, Minister of Chuan Hu Bu, Minister of Hu Bu, Ding Guogong and Ding Guogong's son."

In Dingguogong's mansion in Beijing, Dingguogong's son hurried through the corridors and went straight to the main hall with a note in his hand.

"Father, father, news about the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the emperor sent someone to take away the ledger. Our people didn't stop it."

Duke Dingguo was teasing the bird, but when he heard this, his hand shook, and the bird in the cage made a sharp cry.

"Has the accountant been disposed of?" Ding Guogong sullenly, not panic in his heart, but more anger.

"It's dealt with. The soldiers found that the account book was lost, so they immediately dealt with him..." The son of Duke Dingguo was not as stable as his father, and he was still afraid of imperial power, so he couldn't help worrying, "Father, what Bandits..."

Dingguo Gong's wrinkled face was full of sternness, like an old tree that has been short of water for a long time: "Even a person can't be stopped, a bunch of trash, they will die sooner or later, no matter what he does."

The son of Duke Dingguo was nearly fifty years old, and he was still so scolded that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Duke Ding pondered for a while, "You go to the palace to meet the queen mother immediately, and when you come back, take off your official uniform and follow me to the palace to meet the emperor."

"Father!"

"Don't go soon."
