Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 82 What Are You?

I didn't pay attention at first, but when I listened to Han Yuting's words and looked at the man again, I realized that the man who was caught having an affair with Han Yuting was someone else. Zhu Chengming, the servant of the official department, whom Huasi met.

Zhu Chengming's eyes widened when I looked at him, and he made a murmuring sound, as if he wanted to speak, but because his mouth was blocked, his words were blurred, and it was impossible for people to hear him clearly. Say something.

After I glanced at Zhu Chengming, I didn't ask anyone to let go of the cloth towel in his mouth, nor did I look at him again, but turned to look at the bed behind Han Yuting.

I saw the large carved wooden bed at that time, the quilt and bedding were in a mess, as if it had been ravaged.There was a palm-sized blood stain on the blue quilt, and I don't know if it was stained when it flowed from Zhu Chengming's forehead.

The smell in the room has almost dissipated, but if you smell it carefully, you can find that there is still a faint fishy smell left.

I looked at the messy big bed, smelled the imperceptible fishy smell, and frowned.

In fact, when the matter reached this point, it became very clear: no matter whether Han Yuting wanted it or not, the fact that she and Zhu Chengming had an affair has become an established fact.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Han Yuting who was still crying and saying that she was innocent, and then walked to the main seat in the bedroom and sat down.

Chang Ruo, Qi Xiayun and Li Wan saw me sitting down, and they walked away.

"Who first discovered this?" I asked after sitting down.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it was discovered by a maid named Xilan in Han Zhaoyi Palace." An Fulai who was standing next to me replied after hearing the words.

"Where is this lady-in-waiting now?" I asked.

"The queen mother is kneeling outside." An Fulai replied.

"Send her in."

"promise."

The Xi Lan that An Fulai was talking about was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old court lady with an average appearance. From her clothes, she was a second-class court lady.

After An Fulai's call, the maid named Xi Lan quickly entered the bedroom.

"Slave, servant girl, refer to the Queen Mother."

But I don't know if I was frightened by today's incident, I saw that when this maid named Xilan was brought to me by An Fulai, she trembled in fright, and then kept trembling all the time.

I didn't care about the fear of the court lady Xilan. After seeing her kneeling down, I said directly: "Xilan, right? Tell the Ai family everything you saw today."

"No," the court lady Xilan trembled again after my words, and then she introduced the whole story.

The incident happened early in the morning. Today, Xilan came to help Han Yuting get up and wash up soon after dawn. However, she got Han Yuting's permission outside, and when she opened the door to enter the room, she was shocked by the situation in the bedroom.

It turned out that Han Yuting was not the only one in the room at that time. At that time, Han Yuting was lying naked on the bed with a man, and the man was not Ming Qi.

"Slave, servant girl was frightened at that time, so she screamed, and the copper basin containing water in her hand fell to the ground, and then the other people were called by these two voices." Kneeling all over the ground, he seemed to be very scared.

I looked at Xilan like this, frowned after hearing what she said, and asked, "You said you came to help Han Zhaoyi get up and wash up this morning, but what about Ximei and Nanny Cui?"

Xilan is only a second-class court lady, such things as washing and dressing should be served by the maid Ximei Cui brought from the Han family by the close maids Ximei and Han Yuting, how could it be the turn of a second-class court lady.

When I asked, I looked towards Han Yuting, and saw that Ximei was crying with Han Yuting at this time, but Cui Mammy hadn't seen her since she came in.

"Where are the two of them this morning?" Seeing this, I frowned again and asked.

"Return, return to the queen mother, I don't know, I don't know, I haven't seen Cui Mama and the others." Xi Lanfu knelt on the ground and shook her head.

"Ximei, where are you and Nanny Cui this morning?" After Xilan's words, I looked at Ximei and asked.

Ximei stopped crying when I asked her where she and Nanny Cui were in the morning, and when she saw me asking her directly, she shook her head at me and replied, "Go back to the Queen Mother, Last night, the empress said that she wanted to collect some frost water to make tea this morning, so the servant girl went to the Imperial Garden to collect frost water early this morning, and did not know what happened until the servant girl returned to Fucui Palace."

"Where's Nanny Cui?" I nodded and asked again.

"I don't know, I have not seen Nanny Cui this morning." Ximei answered, and after answering, there was a puzzled look on her face, as if she was also wondering why she didn't see Nanny Cui.

I saw that Ximei didn't look like she was lying, and Xilan didn't look like she was lying, so I turned my head and told An Fulai: "An Fulai, go outside and ask, has anyone seen Mother Cui. "

"promise."

After An Fu came to see my order, he turned out of Han Yuting's dormitory, and came back in a short while: "Qi Empress Dowager, no one in Fucui Palace has seen Nanny Cui this morning."

When I heard that, I turned my head to look at Chang Ruo, Qi Xiayun, Li Wan and the others.

"Back to the queen mother, the concubine didn't see Nanny Cui when I came here this morning." Qi Xiayun said blissfully when I looked towards them.

"The Queen Mother, the concubines have never seen her before." Li Wan also said.

"According to my concubine, Madam Cui must have been hiding because she was afraid of being implicated by Han Yuting." Chang Ruo said, and laughed ironically after speaking.

At this time, I will not care whether Zhang Ruo is being sarcastic or not. After seeing that all three of them said that they had never seen Nanny Cui, I looked at the last two people in the room.

"Han Yuting, I want to ask you, when was the last time you saw Nanny Cui?"

In the end, I didn't ask Zhu Chengming who was bound all over, but Han Yuting.

Han Yuting didn't know if it was because she also found out that Nanny Cui was missing. She stopped pleading her innocence after hearing everyone said that she had never seen Nanny Cui, but showed a dazed look. look like.

"Yesterday, last night." Han Yuting replied after the question, her face was still stunned and stunned.

"When was last night?" I asked.

"Before I went to bed, I saw that it was Nanny Cui who kept watch last night." Han Yuting replied, and then said anxiously: "Queen Mother, this concubine was really framed by someone, and it was obviously Nanny Cui who served me when I went to bed last night." Yes, Nanny Cui was there before the concubine fell asleep, but now she is gone, the concubine, yes, Queen Mother, Nanny Cui must have been taken away by the villain who murdered the concubine, Queen Mother, please trust the concubine, I beg you to make the decision for my concubine." After finishing speaking, Han Yuting began to cry again, and kowtowed to me while crying.

Seeing Han Yuting's appearance, I frowned again, and then turned to the court lady Xi Lan and asked, "Xi Lan, who asked you to help Han Zhaoyi wash up today?"

"It's Nanny Cui." Xilan replied after my words.

"Didn't you just say that you haven't seen her?" I asked after hearing that.

"It was ordered yesterday, last night." Xi Lan replied, and then said: "Last night last night, Mother Cui woke up the servant and asked the servant to come this morning to help Empress Zhaoyi wash up."

"She told you herself?" I asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, yes." Xi Lan replied.

"The servants were all asleep at the time, and I don't know when they were asleep, but I was woken up by Nanny Cui, and then I heard her tell the servants outside the house, let the servants come this morning to help Empress Zhaoyi wash up." Xi Lan said.

I frowned when I heard it.

"You mean, you only heard Nanny Cui's voice, but didn't see her person? In other words, you are not sure that the person who spoke to you last night was Nanny Cui?" I asked .

"This," Xi Lan hesitated after my words.

When I saw Xilan like that, I understood everything.

"An Fulai, pass on the password of Ai's family, and quickly find the whereabouts of Cui Nanny." I told An Fulai.

When things got to this point, Nanny Cui became the key, and she had to be found to find out the truth.

"No." An Fulai quickly withdrew after listening to his instructions.

"Fang Hao, find someone to lock up Ximei Xilan and the two of them. Before the truth comes to light, no one is allowed to see them without the order of Aijia." After An Fu came down, I told Fang Hao again.

Ximei and Xilan probably didn't expect that I would lock them up, so after I said this, they all cried out for injustice.

"No, Empress Dowager, the servant did not harm my mother, the servant really did not harm my mother."

"Queen Mother, it has nothing to do with the servants. The servants really came to serve Han Zhaoyi under the order of Madam Cui. The servants are innocent. I beg the Queen Mother to let the servants go."

"Empress Dowager, empress, I beg you to believe in your servants, your servants really did not harm your empress."

"Empress Dowager, it's none of your slave's business. The slave really doesn't know anything. The slave is innocent."

……

Ximei and Xilan kowtowed to me while shouting grievances, but even so, they didn't make me let go, and they were quickly taken down by the people called by Fang Yan.

After Ximei Xilan was taken down, there were only seven people left in the dormitory: me, Fang Yan, Han Yuting, Qi Xiayun, Li Wan, Chang Ruo, and Zhu Chengming who had been tied to the ground.

My eyes flicked over the other five people except Fang Hao, and finally fell on Zhu Chengming.

Zhu Chengming is a courtier, although he can enter the palace, but it is only outside the Golden Luan Hall and the Imperial Study Room in front, and he is not allowed to walk around at will in other places.

And the harem is the place where the women's family members live, and it is even more difficult to enter the harem. Before the courtiers can enter the harem, they must first get permission from me or Mingqi.

Now that Zhu Chengming is here, of course, he didn't have my approval.As for whether it is approved by Mingqi, you need to ask Mingqi to know.

And if Mingqi didn't know, then Zhu Chengming's method of entering the harem would have to be looked up carefully.

But when things got to this point, how Zhu Chengming got into the harem was actually not the most important thing. The most important thing now was that Zhu Chengming had indeed had an affair with Han Yuting.

"Come here, bring Zhu Shilang with you." After I finished speaking, I got up.

"Ai's family ordered that from today onwards, Han Yuting will lose Zhaoyi's position and enter Chenyang Palace." After getting up, I said as I walked out.

"No, Empress Dowager, the concubine was framed by others, and the concubine is not guilty. I beg the Queen Mother to make decisions with the concubine, and I beg the Queen Mother to return the concubine to Qingming."

As soon as Han Yuting's punishment came to an end, Han Yuting started crying and wanted to crawl towards me at the same time, but she was stopped by the two nuns who had just called in just halfway up the climb, and then dragged out of her room by the two nuns. bedroom.

"No, I want to see the emperor. I was wronged. I am not guilty. The queen mother and my concubines are not guilty."

"Queen Mother, please, please let the concubine meet the emperor. The concubine wants to ask the emperor to make decisions."

"Queen,"

Han Yuting cried miserably.

After Han Yuting was dragged away, Chang Ruo, Qi Xiayun and Li Wan were all stunned, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses.

"That's it?" Chang Ruo asked after the three recovered.

"What? What else does Qiu Zhaoyi want?" Hearing this, I glanced at Chang Ruo and asked.

"Heavy punishment, Han Yuting's adultery with foreign ministers is a capital crime, but you only put Han Yuting in limbo, isn't the punishment a bit lighter? Do you want to favor Han Yuting, Queen Mother?" Chang Ruo said.

"Queen Mother, it's not that the concubine meddles in other people's business, it's just that the concubine is dissatisfied." Chang Ruo said, "The concubine knows that you like Han Yuting, but Han Yuting is really embarrassing the royal family today. If you let Han Yuting go, where will you put the face of the royal family? Where will you put the face of the emperor?"

I listened to Chang Ruo's words, and looked at Chang Ruo's look as if he believed that I was taking sides with Han Yuting. I was too lazy to argue with her.

"The Ai family knows how to deal with Han Zhaoyi, and there is no need for Qiu Zhaoyi to ask." I said with a light glance at Chang Ruo.

After finishing speaking, he no longer cared about Chang Ruo, turned around and left Han Yuting's bedroom.

Qi Xiayun and Li Wan also came back to their senses after seeing me get up and go out, and followed me out.

Only Chang Ruo, she was still dissatisfied with my decision, so she chased after me to ask me after I went out, but Fang Yan stopped me before I got close.

"Also ask Qiu Zhaoyi to pay attention to her identity." Fang Hao stopped Chang Ruo and said.

But whoever Changruo is, she is Changruo who doesn't even have the slightest respect for me, so how could she listen to Fang Yan's words.

"What kind of thing are you, dare to teach me? Go away!" Chang Ruo sneered after being stopped by Fang Hao, and pushed Fang Hao away after speaking.

I watched Fang Hao staggered by Chang Ruo, and almost fell to the ground, but I couldn't bear it anymore, so my eyes turned cold, and Chang Ruo Chao angrily said: "Qiu Zhaoyi is like this, could it be that he wants to Can you go to Chen Yang Palace to be with Han Zhaoyi?"

Chang Ruo probably didn't expect that I would get angry, she paused after my words, but then spoke again immediately.

"No concubine, concubine just thinks that the queen mother's punishment for Han Yuting is too light, concubine thinks that Han Yuting deserves to die for his crime today, queen mother, you can't favor Han Yuting just because you like Han Yuting." Chang Ruo said.

"Chen Qie thinks, Chen Qie thinks, Qiu Zhaoyi, what do you think of yourself when you say this? When will it be your turn to question what the Ai family said?" I continued angrily.

"I," Chang Ruo was stunned by my question again.

I looked at Changruo's appearance, then sneered again, and then said: "If Qiu Zhaoyi is dissatisfied with Aijia's decision, he can go to the emperor and talk to the emperor, or..." I stopped here, my eyes were on Chang Ruo scanned every inch of her face, and then continued to sneer after a while, "Maybe one day Qiu Zhaoyi becomes the empress or empress dowager and takes charge of the power of the harem, and then come to discuss with the Ai family whether to accept or not."

"You," Chang Ruo said when I asked Wu Keke again, looking at me with eyes full of anger.

"And now, if Qiu Zhaoyi says something more, don't blame Aijia for being unreasonable, pack up your things and go to Chenyang Palace to be with Han Zhaoyi."
