Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 1934 Chapter 232 Volume [-]
Wanxi hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab Yuye's wrist, but smiled calmly, "Just like the common people, there are also people who are short of money for a while and need to borrow some money from relatives, friends and neighbors. He was serving in the emperor's hidden residence, so Mao Tuan'er and Mao Tuan'er were old acquaintances. Therefore, when Ma Yu encountered difficulties, he borrowed some money from Mao Tuan'er to use it, so it's not a big deal, right?"

Gao Yu also understood, and bowed his head, "I understand what Master Ling means. Master Ling wants to know whether Mao Tuan'er's loan to Ma Yu is a normal loan or a usury loan."

"If it's just an ordinary loan between relatives and friends, then it's not against the palace rules; but if it's a mortgage in the palace for profit... then it's a violation of the palace rules."

Wanxi avoided Gao Yu's words and didn't answer, just lowered her head and smiled faintly.

"What did Director Gao say?"

Gao Yu also replied softly, "Master, I have no evidence to say that Mao Tuan'er really took out the mortgage for profit. Only in this way, the slave can't find out—since it's just an old acquaintance. If Ma Yu is in trouble, just discuss with Mao Tuan'er for a few days, why bother to commit the crime of theft, let alone escape from the palace in spite of the death penalty?"

Wanxi said indifferently, "Money is always a good thing. Maybe the lender is also in short supply at the moment, and he is in a hurry to use the money, so there is no grace, and he is in a hurry to press Ma Yu for the debt."

Gao Yu laughed, "Master Ling is quite reasonable. It's just the dunning between relatives and friends. How can an old eunuch who has served in the palace for 30 years not hesitate to take risks and even lose his life?" ah……"

Wanxi took a deep breath, "So you still suspect that Mao Tuan'er is actually making a profit from the mortgage~"

Gao Yu lowered his eyes, "... Now that the situation is found, it is indeed the case. As for whether it is true, I have to ask Mao Tuan'er and the servant to go to the Department of Punishment and make it clear in person with several ministers in charge. gone."
.
Mao Tuan'er went with Gao Yu anyway.

Yuye wanted to run out, but Wanxi stopped her sharply, not allowing her to step out of the threshold.

Yu Ye stood in front of the window staring blankly, until the backs of the group could no longer be seen, Yu Ye turned around and knelt down in front of Wan Xi.

"Master... The slave knows that the master should not be distracted at this moment, but it is Mao Tuan'er! Master, I beg the master, the master will let go of everything at this moment, but I have to save Mao Tuan'er... ..."

Wanxi was indifferent, raising her eyes to Yuye.

"Save Mao Tuan'er? If he is wronged, I will naturally save him; but if he really dares to make a profit in the harem's house loan, then it is a violation of palace rules, why should I care about him?"

"You are all from my palace. How many times have I said that even if the door is closed, it doesn't matter how crazy we are, and we don't have to set rules in front of my eyes; but once you leave the Yongshou Gate, you Everyone must be cautious in their words and deeds, and must abide by the palace rules!"

"If he didn't pay attention to what I've been telling you all these years, he would have done something like this instead. Tell me, why should I care about him?"
.
Yuye panicked, she had never seen her master like this before.

She fell to the ground in tears, "I believe that Mao Tuan'er must have been wronged! He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has no worries about food and clothing. Both the emperor and the master treat him well, even if he gets more money, he doesn't have any money." The land is spent... What is he doing to make money by lending money!"

Wanxi rolled her eyes and glanced at Yuye.

"What does he want the money for? He borrowed the money last year, and he must rush to collect the debt at this moment, so that Ma Yu didn't care about committing a capital crime, so he took the risk... Er Niu, don't you think Do you understand why?"

As if being struck by lightning, Yu Ye raised her eyes and stared blankly at Wan Xi, forgetting to shed tears.

——This year, at this moment, is the day when the master made up his mind to send her out of the palace!

That's why Mao Tuan'er needs a sum of money, and a large sum of money at that.But the boss is strict, and Mao Tuan'er never accepts gifts from others, so he can't save enough money every year for a few years, so he lends money to make a profit.

Mao Tuan'er, it's not without reason; Mao Tuan'er, I'm afraid it's because of her! .
The night had already darkened, and Wanxi was still waiting for news from the Punishment Department.

When Yurui finally came back, her eye circles were all red.

Wanxi knew something in her heart, she lowered her head and asked, "...Have you been tortured?"

Yu Rui also nodded vigorously, "Mao Tuan'er refuses to admit death."

Wanxi tried her best to smile, "He didn't do it, so of course he won't admit it."

"Besides... he is also afraid of implicating me. He would rather be beaten to death than admit it."

Yu Rui's tears fell, "So the master knows all about it?!"

Wanxi nodded, "It was my plan to harm him. Ma Yu borrowed money from him, but he was not the one who lent usury later, but I asked someone to hand over the money, saying it was his."

Terrified, Yurui knelt down and hugged Wanxi's feet, "What are you doing, master?"

Wanxi took a deep breath, "From the first day I knew him, I never regarded him as a slave. I regarded him as a brother, and I regarded her as my younger brother."

"The so-called limbs are in person, the bones are broken and the tendons are still connected... If you cut off your limbs, how can you not hold back the pain?"

Yurui stared blankly at Wanxi, "...so the master is here to cut off his own brother?"

"But master... why bother, master?"

Wanxi lowered her eyes lightly, and shook her head, "Yu Rui, did you, Ama, tell me, did they beat the executioners hard?"

Although the Department of Punishment and Punishment is the yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs in charge of criminal names in the Three Banners, which is different from the local yamen, the execution rules are the same.The severity of the execution is all on the executioner's wrist.

Yu Rui said, "Slave Ama said, please rest assured about this matter. Although slave Ama has the lowest qualifications among the chief ministers, Master Jiu is there. The execution was ordered by Master Jiu himself. Someone who knows how to look at Master Jiu."

"Besides, they all know Mao Tuan'er's identity. After all, Mao Tuan'er used to be the eunuch of the emperor's side, Li Mingda's apprentice, and the chief eunuch in the lord's womb... If they were severely punished Yes, and I know that there is no way to explain it in the future.”

Only then did Wanxi feel relieved, "Although it won't hurt the muscles and bones, it's inevitable that the skin will be bruised and bruised. Tonight, the new wound hurts the most. It's a hairball..."

Yurui still couldn't help crying.

"Mao Tuan'er is a big boy after all, it's a flesh wound, the pain is over. But master, the pain is in the heart, and the master is still pregnant with the little master... the master is clearly accompanying Mao Tuan It hurts together; it hurts more than Maotuan'er!"

Wanxi smiled and shook her head.

"What's the point of this pain? Compared with my previous worries, this is the lightest."

She thanked God from the bottom of her heart, before any major incidents happened, and when she was still able to control the situation, she had arranged all these first.

Wanxi turned around and lay down, finally able to sleep well.
.
In April, the emperor finally granted Fu Heng's request and sent Fu Heng to the northwest to rectify military affairs.

Before setting off, Fu Heng finished a few business trips for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Among them is the matter of Mao Tuan'er.

Fu Heng personally played the emperor, stating that Mao Tuan'er himself did not confess, and Ma Yu failed to provide any concrete evidence.It's just a logical deduction, and Mao Tuan'er is ultimately to blame.

Fu Heng made two suggestions to the emperor, either send Mao Tuan'er to guard the mausoleum, or send him to the palace supervisor and other drudgery outside the palace.

Although these two suggestions can save Mao Tuan'er's life, the emperor knows best that neither of them is a good place to go.

The emperor couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he threw away the memorial and ordered the dinner to be served in Yongshou Palace.

The decree was passed to the imperial dining room, and the chief eunuchs wanted to prepare according to the normal menu, but Liu Zhu'er stopped them.

As the chief eunuch of the seventh rank, Liu Zhu'er made a strong claim, grabbed a pen and swiped, and crossed out half of the dishes on the menu.

The eunuch Zhao Sande, who was in charge of today's meals, became anxious, "Hey, what are you doing? I'm on duty today, so what do you mean if you deducted all this?"

Holding the writing brush, Liu Zhu'er glanced at Zhao Sandele, "I'm helping you, thanks to your lack of winks! Let me tell you first, if you eat according to this meal list, if something goes wrong, you Don't blame me for not calling you in advance."

Since Zhao Sande can also survive to become the leader of the seventh rank, he is naturally not stupid, and after squinting at Liu Zhu'er for a while, he is happy.

"Oh, my good brother, I understand! The emperor temporarily ordered the dinner to be served in the Yongshou Palace. At this moment, the master is very happy. These fatty elbows, meat, and pork skin jelly are so delicious. Doesn't the master feel disgusted just looking at it?"

"It makes the master disgusted, the emperor must feel uncomfortable, then he must treat us as slaves!"
.
Zhao Sande thanked Liu Zhu'er a thousand times for being able to eat, the emperor and Wanxi couldn't help smiling when they saw all the light and elegant dishes on the dining table.

The emperor turned around and called for a reward, and Zhao Sande was so happy that he jumped so high.

When the emperor dined with Wanxi, he never needed outsiders to serve him.Even now that Wanxi is pregnant, she still calls everyone away.

Wanxi was about to get up to serve the emperor with food, but was held down by the emperor.

The emperor glanced at her, "It's been a while, and you still abide by the old rules?"

He got up by himself, pressed Wanxi's shoulders, and let Wanxi sit down. He personally took the food and put it in his mouth to taste it. After making sure that there was nothing strange, he sent it to Wanxi's rice bowl.

In fact, Wanxi is not so taboo about eating at this moment, this child is really sensible, she is not afraid to vomit, she can even eat normally.

It's just that Wanxi and the emperor have something on their minds tonight, so they both lose their appetites.

The emperor glanced at Wanxi, "...are you also worried about Mao Tuan'er? Xiao Jiu went to the memorial and said that Mao Tuan'er was kicked out of the palace. There are two destinations, either to guard the mausoleum, or To do the drudgery of the palace prison."

Wanxi's heart skipped a beat.

These are common ways to deal with eunuchs who have made mistakes, and it is not surprising that Wanxi is.Just thinking about it, it hurts after all.

Wanxi looked at the emperor quietly, "...the drudgery next to the palace prison, this term is a bit vague, the slaves don't know what they are about?"

The emperor raised his eyes, "Such as taking care of the elderly eunuchs, or digging pits to bury dead eunuchs and women in the cemetery... and so on, these are all hard jobs that are worse than death."

Wanxi don't start, she doesn't want the emperor to see the tears in her eyes.

The emperor hurriedly reached out to hold Wanxi's hand, "Do you think I can bear it? I didn't expect Xiao Jiu to deal with it so resolutely this time. Even if I wanted to find a way out of it, it was already too late."

Wanxi understood that if it was normal, Master Jiu would at least procrastinate, not to say that he wanted to rescue him secretly.But this time Master Jiu is doing things very quickly.Those tortures were also ordered by Lord Jiu.

Ma Yu was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs on March 22, but Jiu Ye was about to leave for the northwest to rectify military affairs in April.In the eyes of outsiders, Master Jiu was in such a hurry to settle the case because of the rush of time.

But how can Wanxi not understand that this is Jiuye's intention...

This life is like a brother and sister, he must understand her thoughts.Mao Tuan'er was her most powerful person in the palace besides the jade pot, how could she let Mao Tuan'er have trouble, but didn't think about it at all?Therefore, Master Jiu probably already understood her intentions and went.

Master Jiu is pushing the boat along the way, and even before the emperor intervenes, he has already finished all these things.

And before Fu Heng went to the northwest to rectify military affairs, no matter how important the eunuch was, the emperor could not refute Master Jiu's face for an eunuch.

Her heart was in Master Jiu's hands, and within a few days, it had quickly come to fruition.
.
Wanxi's heart became more stable, she lowered her eyes, and her eyes turned lightly.

"The emperor said that those drudgery also include taking care of the elderly eunuch?"

The emperor snorted softly, "Yes. The eunuchs leave the palace after they are old and have no children. If there is no one to take care of them, how will they spend their dying years? After all, they have been serving in the palace all their lives. Send people outside to take care of them."

Wanxi tried her best to hold back her joy, lowered her head as much as she could, trying to make herself look sad.

"...The slave just remembered something: Li Wenda is also getting old, and he has heard that he will leave the palace this year. Why don't you ask Mao Tuan'er to go out of the palace to take care of Li Wenda?"

"In this way, it not only conforms to the palace rules, punishes Mao Tuan'er, but also satisfies the emperor's wishes for Li Wenda... There is another level, Li Wenda is like a teacher to Mao Tuan'er, if you say There are still people in this world who can persuade him to abandon the evil and turn to the good, so naturally Li Wenda is the best candidate."

Wanxi raised her head, stretched out her hand to embrace the emperor's arm, "Master...can you give this servant this grace?"
.
The emperor stared down at her, but didn't speak for a long time.

Wanxi felt a little guilty, and hurriedly lowered her head, staring at her stomach.

She was hesitating, should she use her stomach to act coquettishly with the emperor?

While thinking about it, the emperor suddenly snorted softly, "You can just say your stomach hurts right now."

Wanxi couldn't dodge in time, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and looked up at the emperor, "What did you say?"

The emperor let out a "bah", "Is it still fun?! If you want to convince me, you have to hold back the fun anyway!"

Wanxi bit her lip, reached out and gently poked the emperor's elbow.

There is a numbness there, sometimes when the emperor rests his arm on the desk, it is easy to touch it accidentally, and the emperor is a little annoyed by the numb pain every time.But helpless—painful and helpless.

At this time, Wanxi hopes to become the "painful and helpless" person of the emperor, so she has the cheek to ask for it.

The emperor twisted his body and shook his arms.She shook off Wanxi's troublesome hand, but carefully reached out to support Wanxi.

Wanxi stared at the emperor carefully, "...Master, do you agree with the servant?"

The emperor pursed his lips tightly.

Wanxi bit her lip, "My servant knows that the "Regulations in the Palace" was appointed by the emperor. The emperor must not destroy the rules...but after all, Mao Tuan'er was taught by the emperor, how can the emperor bear it?"

Only then did the emperor look squarely at Wanxi, and took hold of her hand with both hands.

"I'm not worried about that. I'm thinking, if Mao Tuan'er leaves too, what will you do in the palace?"

"Besides, you are in such a state now. Those who are powerful in your palace have all gone one by one, and the ones left behind are all worrying. If you encounter trouble after your body sinks, who will come to help you?" you?"

Wanxi's nose felt a little sore when she heard it.

That's right, Yuhu is gone, Yuye is about to leave, and now Mao Tuan'er has to go too... Even if there are still Yuhan and Yurui in the palace, Yuhan's temperament has always been more than soft and decisive; And Yurui will reach the age of leaving the palace in two years.

Her Yongshou Palace will be completely empty in just one or two years.

But this meeting is still when she has a child and is about to employ someone.

Wanxi gently pulled the emperor's finger, and said softly, "It's okay, isn't there still an emperor? Besides, the servant is 30 years old this year, what have you never seen or experienced?

The emperor snorted, "I'm afraid that if your head gets hot now, you will regret it in the future!"

Wanxi gently approached the emperor's arms, "If you say that the slave regrets, he only regrets one thing - Mao Tuan'er was by the emperor's side, but the emperor gave it up to the slave, but the slave didn't use it well, but gave it to the slave instead. Let go of the palace."

"Slave, this is, I have let down my master's wishes..."

Her obedient and docile appearance made the emperor unable to express the resentment that filled his heart.The emperor could only hold her in his arms, and said softly, "It doesn't matter. After all, this person was given to you by the Lord, and he is your slave. How do you want to use him and arrange for him? The way out is all the power you, the master, should have."

Wanxi smiled, and raised her hand to pluck the green mustache on the emperor's lips.

"The emperor doesn't blame the servant?"

The emperor snorted, "Who told you to be pregnant with my father's child now! It's not that my father tolerated you, but my first child who came after 15 years..."
.
In April, Lord Jiu left for the Northwest.

Mao Tuan'er was also taken away directly from the Punishment Department by the palace supervisor and sent out of the palace.

An eunuch who has committed a negligence has no chance to return to the harem, even if he is not qualified to kowtow goodbye to his master.

Wanxi also understood the rules. On the day Mao Tuan'er left, she sat in the palace and did not move; no one in the palace was allowed to go to the Shenwumen to watch.

Finally, Gao Yu personally came back and said that Mao Tuan'er had left the palace.This is the end of this matter, I will never come to Yongshou Palace to disturb my master again, please let my master raise the heir with peace of mind... Wanxi accepted it with a smile, and when Gao Yu turned around and left, Wanxi finally turned her back and shed tears Come.

She couldn't bear it, of course she couldn't bear it.

But instead of asking them to accompany her in the palace and risk making a big mistake, she might as well cut off their limbs and send them out of the palace.

The women in the harem, as masters, are sad and lonely with rich clothes and fine food... What about the eunuchs, even more so.In this life, no matter how they met, no matter how they lived with each other, she would rather suffer for herself and let them go.
.
Yurui and Yuhan tried their best to bear it, but Yuye finally couldn't help it, and fell to the ground crying.

Wanxi hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tear, put on a cold expression, and said with a sneer, "Why are you crying again? Don't you know that if you cry for others today, you won't be able to wait long, and others will want to cry for your departure again." Go and weep."

Mao Tuaner has already left the palace first, Wanxi will wait for Li Yu to leave the palace next, and then she can let Yuye leave the palace with peace of mind.

There must be a safe order for the three of them to go out of the palace, so that people will not be suspicious.

Yu Ye was startled when she heard this, and fell to her knees again.

"As soon as Mao Tuan'er left, the master wants to drive the slave away again? Master...you are so cruel!"

"The master said it before, but now the master is finally happy. Why don't the slaves stay with the master in the palace for these few months? When the master gives birth to a royal heir, the slaves can hug him , it’s not too late to leave then!”

Wanxi also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and gently closed her eyes.

Why doesn't she want to?Yuye's affection for her is unmatched by anyone else in the palace.How much she wanted to wait for her child to be born, and share the joy with Yu Ye.only……

Wanxi hardened her heart and put on a straight face.

"You're talking nonsense. When you left the palace, you were already delayed for a year last year; now, if it's because of my child, you have to delay for another year... If this continues, how can I still let you stay in this palace?" Are you going to delay going for the rest of your life?"

"I have already mentioned the matter of asking you to leave the palace with the emperor. You can leave at any time, depending on the arrangements made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs within one or two months."

Yu Ye's tears fell down in a flash.

Wanxi turned away cruelly, not even looking.

"Actually, according to my opinion, April is going to tell you to leave. But first of all, it is what I told you about Li Wenda. Li Wenda hasn't left yet, so I will allow you to stay in the palace Wait for him, old man; secondly, it was Mao Tuan'er who made the trouble, we can't just leave two people in the palace at once."
.
Yu Rui looked at the master and Yu Ye from the side, feeling anxious, but couldn't speak to Yu Ye.

Yuye was probably agitated by Mao Tuan'er's sudden departure from the palace at this moment, and for a moment she didn't understand the master's purpose of arranging the two of them to leave the palace, so Yuye fell in love with the master.

Yu Rui stepped forward to hug Yu Ye, and persuaded softly, "Good Yu Ye, you are uncomfortable at this moment, master and I both understand. But why did you forget, master has two bodies at this time, it is the last thing to be sad and angry Yes. Stop being stubborn, ah."
