Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2509 Eight Volumes 34 False Accusations
After several rounds, Sula, the servant in Yongqi's house, finally found Zhao Delu in his valet room on the inner long street in Duanzemen.

While returning to the palace, Si Shu finally went to meet Zhao Delu in person.

In the short Ta Tanli, when the two met each other, Si Shu's heart trembled: The majestic chief eunuch in the Queen's Palace used to be so powerful, but today he can only curl up in the short Ta Tan Li, seeing Everyone is three points short, bowing and bowing, looking cautious.

It turns out that the little eunuchs in Yikun Palace were kicked out of the Duanze Gate, and Zhao Delu was at the level of the general manager, so although he was not kicked out of the Duanze Gate, everyone in the palace could not put him in the same position. presence in the eyes.

Si Shu hurriedly served the food and drink, "Oh, Mr. Zhao, I found you! Do you still remember me, kid?"

Zhao Delu squinted his eyes for a while, then clapped his hands, "Oh, I remembered. Aren't you the eunuch Haha Zhu who is serving beside the fifth elder brother?"

Si Shu chuckled, "Master Zhao, don't just remember this, Master Zhao forgot that when the boy first entered the palace, he was the one who was promoted by Master Zhao! Otherwise, the boy can only be rough around the outside, where is it?" I have a chance to serve Brother Fifth!"

Zhao Delu raised his eyebrows.

Based on his seniority in the palace, he has met many young eunuchs every year, and he really doesn't remember ever promoting such a one.

But no matter what, at this time he himself has become a stinky piece of shit, if someone can take care of him, besides, he is the eunuch with haha ​​beads that brother needs to use, then he has to hurry up and climb up.

"Oh, of course I remember, remember! But I don't want to show off in front of you. I know that this is your own strength and good luck. I just push it like that. After all, it is your own luck. Woolen cloth!"

Si Shu smiled and bowed, "Master Zhao is really generous and refreshing."

The two sat down, and Si Shu asked the little eunuch who followed him to go outside to watch what was going on, and he laid out the food and wine in the food box with his own hands.

"Ever since I heard that something happened in the Queen's Palace, I've been holding on to Mr. Zhao from the bottom of my heart. I originally thought that Mr. Zhao was the chief steward of the Queen's Palace after all. What's the big deal? It will definitely be the same as before, and the quarrel will pass after a few days. If she is the queen or the queen, Master Zhao will continue to be the chief eunuch of the palace."

"But I didn't think so. I heard the fifth elder brother in Zhaoxiang's office say that everyone in Yikun Palace has been slapped this time. Except for the three women who served in front of the queen, they all received sixty boards." , sent to Dashou Ula outside the pass; the rest of the eunuchs were also kicked out... I have been inquiring about your whereabouts since then, Master Zhao."

"After all, Mr. Zhao is kind to me. I can't just watch Mr. Zhao suffer. Even if I have no skills, at least I can buy such a table of food and drink for Mr. Zhao, so that Mr. Zhao doesn't have to be wronged."

When Sishu said this, Zhao Delu suddenly felt sad.

Since he has reached the level of the general manager in the palace, and he is the general manager of the queen's palace, he has been used to eating and drinking for decades.This suddenly fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, and even the little eunuch who guarded the gate in the palace didn't pay attention to him, so the eunuchs in the dining room who were rushing to curry favor with him in the past no longer gave him filial piety. .

It's okay to live almost, after all, he just lay down and close his eyes and passed; but he can't eat three meals a day, that's what he can't bear.

Seeing the good wine and food on this table today, although it is not as good as what he used to eat and use, it is already compared with the one in front of him, it is heaven and earth.

Zhao Delu took a deep breath and let out an "ah", almost crying.

"Where would I dare to think that I am in the current situation, let alone believe that you can come to see me and not despise me..."

Si Shu stood up personally and filled Zhao Delu's wine cup.

Zhao Delu dared to eat, but some did not dare to drink.

"This wine... I absolutely dare not touch it. If I don't know who will come and catch me smelling of alcohol later, then I will suffer even more."

Si Shu nodded and smiled, "Master Zhao, just put your heart in your stomach. To tell you the truth, Master Zhao, although the biggest master in this palace is the emperor, our fifth elder brother has the ability to pinch him in some places." , don’t even worry about the emperor.”

"Since I dare to come today, since I dare to bring this wine to Mr. Zhao, then Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry that others will sell Mr. Zhao... The people on the long streets inside the gate here are all People from our fifth elder brother."

"Oh, that's a good thing." Zhao Delu hurriedly bowed in Zhaoxiang's direction, "Thank you, brother five, for your kindness!"

Although the fifth elder brother Yongqi said that his biological mother has the lowest position now, but the fifth elder brother is now the de facto eldest son of the emperor; plus the fifth elder brother's management in the palace these years, with Zhao Delu's eyes and ears, he naturally knows that the fifth elder brother is the eldest son of the emperor. Elder brother has a group of followers in the palace.

Zhao Delu felt relieved, so he quickly drank a glass of wine with a "squeak".The wine worms in my stomach can be regarded as fed, and I close my eyes so beautifully that I don't want to open them again to face the unbearable reality in front of me.

Si Shu was even more acquainted with things, he kept persuading Zhao Delu to drink, just finished one cup, and the next one was already full.

Zhao Delu was already in a depressed mood, and after being persuaded to drink like this, he overdid it in a short time.

Only then did Si Shu put down the jug, sat down unhurriedly and said, "...the matter in the Queen's Palace, I can't hide anything from Mr. Zhao. Our elder brother refused to go into details when he returned to Zhaoxiang's place, but It has drawn out my curiosity. I wonder if Mr. Zhao can tell me about it?"

Zhao Delu has been aggrieved these days, and the words in his heart originally needed a place to vent.Besides, his head was already too heavy with alcohol, so he poked out his tongue and poured out all the things that mattered.
.
Sishu personally helped Zhao Delu to sleep on the kang, and then Sishu returned to Zhaoxiang's place with the packed food box.

Yong Qi was sitting in the study, rubbing her legs while waiting for him.

Si Shu entered the room and greeted him with one leg, with a smug smile on his face, "Go back to Elder Brother, it's a good luck that this slave is not disgraceful."

Yong Qi let go of her hands, and couldn't care less about rubbing her legs, her eyes lit up, "What did he say?"

Si Shu lowered his head and smiled, "My elder brother is wise, I can't blame the emperor for being so unsympathetic to the empress this time, it turns out that it is not only because she hates the empress for casting the curse of 'calling the soul' in the south of the Yangtze River, but also because the empress is patrolling in Linnan. Before, I secretly cursed Elder Sixteen!"

"The sixteenth elder brother had already sent the empress god of acne, but it happened again in just one day. The emperor suspected that there was something wrong with this matter, so he ordered people to expose the queen's bedroom in the palace and the Old Summer Palace. After an investigation, Mao Tuaner finally found that filthy thing in the clean room!"

"The emperor loves Brother Sixteen, so he refuses to let the queen go."

Yong Qi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"That's it! I said, relying on the empress dowager's support to the empress, although the empress did the stupid thing of cursing the empress dowager, after the empress dowager returned to Beijing to calm down, she didn't seem to hate the empress so much. The empress This is why Ma is unwilling to let it go, after tossing the queen so badly, she still refuses to let go of the queen's mother's nephew, even the twelfth..."

After Yongqi finished speaking, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"...It is also Huang Ama's son, Huang Ama is willing to be so cruel to the old twelve, but everything is for the little sixteen."

Si Shu also sighed, "Isn't that right? Originally, the servants also thought that Elder Sixteen was young and hadn't even had a name yet; even if he passed away, he could only be buried in Emperor Duanhui according to the patriarchal rules." Go to bed in the prince's garden."

In the dormitory of Crown Prince Duanhui, there are three underground palaces.Among them, Yong Lian, the crown prince of Duanhui, had the highest patriarchal status because he was the crown prince who had been clearly established, and he exclusively enjoyed the stone coupon in the middle; Brother has the posthumous title of "Elder Brother Mourning Min", and his patriarchal status is second only to Crown Prince Duanhui, so he can also be topped with a stone coupon.

In the third underground palace, the thirteenth elder brother Yong Jing and the fourteenth elder brother Yong Lu were buried.Since neither of them has been clearly established as the crown prince, and neither has a posthumous title, they can only use brick coupons.

"Because of the old rule that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were buried in the seventh elder brother's mourning prince's stone coupon, the sixteenth elder brother can only be buried with the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother according to the rules. Go to the brick coupon for the co-burial... According to this burial system, the palace thought that the emperor didn't care that much about the sixteenth elder brother. But how did he know that the emperor wanted to marry the queen to the queen for the sixteenth elder brother? It's like killing them all..."

Yong Qi couldn't listen anymore, and waved her hand, "Have you ever explained to Zhao Delu what I told you?"

Si Shu lowered his head and smiled, "Don't worry, elder brother. The servant has already told him to understand the influence of elder brother in the palace. He knows that if he wants to escape the current predicament, only you can help him... He is willing to take this risk for his bad life."
.
On May 29th, the emperor went to the Changchun Garden to greet the Empress Dowager as usual.

When the emperor entered, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Changchun Garden.Kneeling down in front of his mother, he solemnly asked for his legs to be safe, and he also noticed that the empress dowager's expression was different.

"Son, I wish the emperor's mother peace."

The empress dowager responded with a cold smile, "Da'an? Does the emperor really think that I can be in Da'an?"

The emperor frowned, "My son is terrified... I don't know what the empress is referring to, and my son asks the empress to explain it clearly."

The empress dowager sneered, "Why did the emperor come by himself today? What about the newly promoted imperial concubine, why didn't he come with the emperor? When the empress was first registered, I was pleased to say 'beautiful children and beautiful women' .Since the imperial concubine is newly established, the emperor should bring it before my eyes and tell me to see what kind of heart she is!"

The emperor suddenly raised his head, and stood up slowly, "Why did the emperor's mother say such a thing?"

The Empress Dowager sneered, "Why did you say that? You think I'm in Changchun Garden, far away from your Yuanmingyuan and the Forbidden City, so I don't know anything?"

The emperor squinted his eyes coldly, his gaze coldly glanced at everyone around the empress dowager.

Always trembling in fright.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and stared at the empress dowager, "The imperial concubine has a different status, even the empress dowager, so it's inconvenient to judge so lightly, right? The imperial concubine has always served the empress empress with the utmost filial piety, but my son would like to know why the empress suddenly Make such a cold statement?"

The empress dowager said, "Emperor! I know, you tormented the empress so much in the palace, but it wasn't for me at all!——Although I was angry, I wouldn't allow you to torment a middle palace like that!" You are doing it for Xiaoliu, you are sure that the queen not only harmed me with a witch curse, she also killed Xiaoliu!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

"How did Queen Mother know about this? My son once made a decree that they are not allowed to pass this on to Queen Mother!"

"Emperor, after all, that is the empress of our Great Qing Dynasty, the empress who I personally issued a decree to register!" The empress dowager became more and more unhappy, "Why do you treat her, don't you need to sue the Taimiao, don't you need to talk to me afterwards anyway? ?”

The emperor raised his head slowly, "It's not that my son doesn't want to tell the empress, it's because what she did was extremely dirty and dirty. My son doesn't want the dirt to stain the ears of the empress."

"Besides, the Queen's Mother is over seventy years old, Nala's vicious methods are chilling to hear, and my son dare not tell the Queen's Mother, lest the Queen's Mother get angry."

The empress dowager sighed, "If the empress really did this, and she harmed the prince as the concubine's aunt, then I won't allow her! But the emperor, don't you think about it, is there someone who got involved in this matter? The trick is to pull her off the queen's throne, so that others can stand on it majestically?!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows high, "Has anyone come to the emperor's mother to gossip?"

The empress dowager stared at the emperor, and said for a while, "It's okay to tell you. It's Zhao Delu, the chief manager of the empress's palace, who wrote a blood letter and handed it to my Changchun garden! Then Zhao Delu, risk your life, and you have to fight for it." His master is complaining!"

"He is so brave!" The emperor yelled angrily, "He is a slave who was imprisoned by his son in the Forbidden City, how could he hand over the blood book to the Changchun Garden of Huang Erniang?!"

"Emperor! Do you think there is only one Jueluo Ayonga in this world? Jueluo Ayonga is not afraid of death, and told his mother that he would rather not die for his mother than die for the queen... Whether it is in the palace or me In Changchun Garden, are there not a few people who serve the Lord faithfully and are not afraid of death?"

The emperor stared quietly at the empress dowager, "Oh? It turns out that Jue Luo Ayong admonished the Nala clan, and the empress dowager already knew about it?"

The empress dowager patted the pillow in her hand, "Emperor! The queen was established by the Ai family's decree. Even if you want to abolish her, you have to report to the Ai family first, and then you have to issue a decree from the Ai family to count! You And how can she take back four copies of her treasures in private?"

"Emperor, what do you think of the family law of your ancestors, and where do you put me, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager!"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, but still lifted his robe and knelt down, "My son didn't mean to be unfilial to Ernie. The son just--the son knew that Ernie would not allow his son to abolish the empress, but the son couldn't just let it go, because he didn't understand the decree to abolish the empress. , the son will also deprive her of all titles in the palace!"

"A person like Nala is sinister and vicious. He is not worthy of being the mother of a prince, or even having any position!"

The empress dowager shook her head wearily, "Emperor, don't you think that she won't be designed by others? A person like her has a straight and aggressive temper, but how can a person with her temperament be so ignorant?" Doing such insidious and vicious things?!"

The emperor looked indifferent, "Then consider her crazy. Anyway, a crazy person can't afford to be my empress of the Qing Dynasty!"

The empress dowager shouted, "Emperor, let me tell you, she was also framed by someone, and she was also bewitched by someone! That's why she went crazy and did such unreasonable things!"

"And the person who cast a witchcraft on the queen is your imperial concubine!"
.
"Emperor Niang!" The emperor was startled, and stepped forward to the Empress Dowager, "Emperor Niang, be careful!"

The empress dowager did not back down, and looked up at her son, "I tell you, there are pickled things in the queen's bedroom. As you later asked someone to find them, those things are all cursed objects! But, those The thing originally didn't belong to Curse Xiaoliu, but to Curse Queen herself!"

"Zhao Delu made it clear that the puppet found first was wearing clothes sewn from pieces of the queen's clothes. It was clearly cursing the queen! That's why the queen suddenly went crazy in Hangzhou and did such unreasonable things. !"

"It's Zhao Delu's nonsense!" The emperor was also annoyed, his eyes widened, "The people my son sent to search Nala's palace were all the most trusted servants around him; the dirty things found in Nala's palace, My son has seen it with his own eyes too! It’s not a puppet made after Nala’s, it’s just Little Sixteen’s!”

The empress dowager shook her head, with disappointment in her eyes, "Emperor, the Ai family knows that the person you sent is Mao Tuan'er! That's right, he is your eunuch Haha Zhuzi, who has been serving you by your side since childhood. Deli, trust him. But don’t forget, even this Mao Tuan’er served in the Yongshou Palace for many years, and even served as the chief eunuch of the Yongshou Palace!”

"He may have changed his mind a long time ago. In his heart, he may have forgotten you, the emperor, and regarded others as his master! Therefore, when he went to search the queen's palace, he naturally wanted to follow his master. I will look for it according to my son's heart - he will naturally not find anything that is not good for his master!"

The empress dowager's eyes darkened, "The puppet that was originally found was the queen who was cursed by a witch; but when you came back to Beijing, the puppet changed into a cursed little sixteen... Emperor, you Be deceived by that Mao Tuaner and the real master behind him!"

The emperor was furious, and turned his head and shouted angrily, "Bring Zhao Delu to see me!"
.
When Zhao Delu came, he was already trembling with fright, he couldn't even walk, he was dragged in by two eunuchs who served in front of the imperial court.

That day, with a lot of alcohol, he wrote a blood book in front of Si Shu, and then handed it over to Si Shu, and then fell asleep.

After waking up and calming down, he wanted to go back on his word and go to recover the blood letter from Si Shu, but it was already too late.

Sishu had a weird smile on his face, "Master Zhao's blood book has been sent to the Changchun Garden, and it is placed in front of the Empress Dowager. If Master Zhao wants to go back on his word, what is it? It is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!" Anyone who catches Master Zhao is a dead end."

"Master Zhao knows the Queen's current situation best. If something happens to Master Zhao at this moment, no one can protect Master Zhao."

"But then again, if Mr. Zhao holds back his tone, he will not only gain the reputation of a loyal servant, but also gain the favor of the Empress Dowager...Take a ten thousand step back, and our Fifth Elder Brother Well. In everything, since the fifth elder brother tries to be considerate for Master Zhao, he will not cause Master Zhao to suffer a big loss."

"Master Zhao has to weigh the importance of this. But I believe, based on Mr. Zhao's experience in the palace these years, how to choose, Mr. Zhao must have a mirror in his heart."

Zhao Delu couldn't get off the tiger, so he finally had to obey the arrangement of Yongqi and Sishu's master and servant.

It's just that the stubbornness at that moment, now in front of the emperor, seeing that the emperor was so angry, Zhao Delu was paralyzed with fright.

When the Empress Dowager saw Zhao Delu's situation, she also said softly, "You know what to say, don't be afraid! There is still Aijia here, just speak boldly, Aijia will make the decision for you!"

What the Empress Dowager said was the same as what the Four Books had promised.

Zhao Delu knew that he couldn't turn back, so he made up his mind and kowtowed hard to the ground.

"Back to the empress dowager's old master, the empress's master, she—was wronged!"

The Empress Dowager nodded, "Tell me what's going on with that thing! As long as you explain it clearly, the Ai family will make their own judgment!"

Zhao Delu kowtowed to see the blood, and looked like a loyal servant who risked his life to avenge his lord, "The object of the nightmare was originally made according to the queen's master's appearance, and it was secretly placed in the queen's master's bedroom , This must be a curse to the empress master! The slave saw it at a glance, so he went up to reason with that Mao Tuaner, saying that the empress master must have been framed for doing those things in Hangzhou."

"But Mao Tuan'er refused to listen to what the servant said. He even - secretly manipulated it. When it was time to present it to the emperor, there was only a little puppet left to imitate the sixteenth brother. The slave dares to use his own head as a guarantee, the puppet that cursed the sixteenth brother is not in the queen's womb at all, it was prepared by Mao Tuaner to deceive the emperor and frame the queen's master!"

"Or, the slave wants to make a bold guess: the puppet who originally cursed the Queen's Master was naturally done by someone who hated the Queen's Master. Just as the Queen's Master was on a tour with the Emperor to the south, there was a vacancy in the palace and the garden. That's why it was put into the empress's womb! ——Although the servant dare not say who did it, the empress dowager's old master, Sheng Ming, will definitely be able to find out who benefited from it after the empress's master was locked up Get out of the person behind the scenes!"

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes, and the eyes were filled with mist.

"The queen is locked up, and there is only one person in the harem who has benefited this year. The emperor entered the harem. In previous years, many people entered the harem together to show the emperor's grace and the rain and dew; but this year is the most important thing for the harem." In the years, the emperor only enfeoffed one person!"

The empress dowager laughed coldly, "Emperor, that's your imperial concubine! Don't think of anyone else except her!"
