Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 83 Long Ruo, in the end, you still win!
Although I took Zhu Chengming away, I didn't plan to punish him personally, but handed him over to Mingqi.

And after knowing that Zhu Chengming did not enter the harem with Mingqi's permission, Mingqi also handed over the matter of who brought Zhu Chengming into the harem.

When Mingqi took over Zhu Chengming, he didn't say anything, waved his hand, and asked Zhu Chengming to be imprisoned for the time being.Later, when I heard that Han Yuting had been imprisoned in Chenyang Palace, I just nodded and didn't say anything.

Whether it's for Zhu Chengming or Han Yuting, Mingqi is too calm about the fact that the two of them have an affair, and it doesn't seem to be betrayed at all. This makes me feel a little surprised, so I can't help glanced at him.

"What is the queen mother looking at?" Mingqi asked me after I kept looking at him.

I wouldn't tell Mingqi that I was curious that he wasn't angry because of the affair between Zhu Chengming and Han Yuting, so I didn't say anything after hearing what he said, just shook my head.

"It's nothing, if the emperor has nothing else to do, the Ai family will go back first." I shook my head and said.

"The sons and ministers send off the mother respectfully."

After I left the Imperial Study Room, I went straight back to the Changwu Hall, and then I didn't go out for another whole day.

"Queen Mother, Cui Xiuying has been found."

In the early morning of the second day, I had just finished washing under the service of Qihe and Fang Qian, and before I had breakfast, An Fulai hurried into the Changwu Hall to report to me.

"Where did you find it?" I nodded and asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, in the dry well in Jingren Palace." An Fulai replied after my words.

After listening to what An Fulai said, I nodded.

Cui Xiuying, that is, Nanny Cui will be found in the dry well, which means that Nanny Cui is dead.

For this result, I am actually not surprised. I had expected it long ago when I found out that Cui Nanny was gone.

What I didn't expect was that the place where the body was thrown would be Jingren Palace.

Jingren Palace, also known as Chang'an Palace, is one of the six east palaces in the harem, and only concubines who are above the noble concubine can stay there.

Although there are no concubines living there now, and few people usually go there, but because the location is close to the Chengming Palace where Ming Qi lives, the imperial guards will pass by that area every day when they patrol.

So throwing the corpse at Jingren Palace, after much deliberation, does not seem like a wise approach.Because if you don't check it, you will be caught by the patrolling guards when you enter or pass by.

"Can you find out the cause of death and the place of death?" I asked after nodding my head.

The Fucui Palace where Han Yuting lives is on West Sixth Road, not close to Jingren Palace. As Han Yuting's personal nun, Madam Cui will not go to Jingren Palace for no reason.

It's just that she didn't know whether Nanny Cui went to Jingren Palace before she died, or was thrown into Jingren Palace after her death.

"Return to the Queen Mother, we found out, it was drowned." An Fulai replied.This means that Nanny Cui was brought to Jingren Palace while she was still alive.

"Are there any traces of struggle around?" I nodded after hearing this, and asked again.

"Back to the Queen Mother, no." An Fulai replied.

"Cui Xiuying showed no signs of being bound, and there was no drug residue left in her mouth or body. Cui Xiuying was not drugged before her death," An Fulai added.

Therefore, Nanny Cui walked to Jingren Palace by herself when she was alive.

"Go and find out who Cui Xiuying has been in contact with recently, especially those who are familiar with Jingren Palace." I said after listening to An Fulai's words.

Cui Xiuying has been in the palace for less than a year, so she must not be familiar with Jingren Palace, so if she hadn't been guided by someone she knew well, she would definitely not be able to escape the inspection of the imperial guards and enter Jingren Palace.

And as long as you know the person who brought Cui Xiuying into Jingren Palace, then you can follow the clues to know some things that happened that night.

"Also, let's check again, before Han Yuting entered the palace and after entering the palace, did she or the Han family have any problems with others." I said again.

After Han Yuting was brought to Chenyang Palace yesterday, I sent people to investigate Han Yuting's Fucui Palace, and then sent the imperial physician to Chenyang Palace to check on Han Yuting's body.

The result of the inspection by the two parties was that although nothing suspicious was found in Fucui Palace, Han Yuting herself was indeed drugged.

Now combined with the fact that Nanny Cui walked into Jingren Palace alive, it is not difficult to deduce that Nanny Cui was the one who drugged Han Yuting.

The reason why Nanny Cui drugged Han Yuting was nothing more than two reasons: first, she had a personal enmity with Han Yuting or the Han family; second, she was bought by someone who wanted Han Yuting to die.

Judging from the fact that Nanny Cui drowned in Jingren Palace, the latter is more likely.

"promise."

Not long after An Fulai left, Mingqi came to Changwu Hall.

I told him about Nanny Cui and my guess.

After hearing what I said, Mingqi nodded dispensably, still as if he had nothing to do with this matter.

Seeing that Mingqi was like this, I also brought this topic to the fore, and turned to talk to Mingqi about the arrangements for the end of the year.

It is now the beginning of December, and in ten days or so it will be the end of the year, and the settlement of expenses for the past year and the budget for next year will start.These things are numerous and complicated. If it weren't for the help of Qihe, I'm afraid I will be busy for the next half a month.

"What's the queen mother's plan for this year's palace banquet?"

After I finished talking about the budget arrangement for some years, Mingqi suddenly asked.

I was taken aback when I heard the words, and then I didn't answer and asked, "What? The emperor has arrangements?"

At the end of each year, it is a big event to entertain hundreds of officials. The number and color of dishes and the layout of the palace banquet will start now.

These things were all arranged by me when I entered the palace, and Mingqi never asked about it, but today he suddenly mentioned it abnormally, which made me surprised.

"My son just thought that the mother's health is still not recovering, so it's better to rest for a while longer." Mingqi said after I asked.

But after hearing what he said, I smiled, and then asked: "What does the emperor mean by this, is to entrust Chang Ruo and the others to do these things?"

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean." Ming Qi nodded after my words, and then said: "I think that the concubines of the palaces have been in the palace for more than half a year, and they should learn these things. Going to do it just makes the queen mother more relaxed."

"The emperor has a heart." I nodded and said.

"So, the emperor thinks, which of the three of them is the most suitable?" After nodding my head, I asked again.

Mingqi didn't answer my question immediately, he frowned after my words and thought for a while, then said: "Let the three of them be together."

"So listen to the emperor," I said.

"Qiu Zhaoyi and the others are all beginners. I think there will be a lot of things they don't understand. At that time, the queen mother doesn't have to teach them herself, just let Qihe teach them." Ming Qi said.

"The Ai family will order Qihe." I nodded my head when I heard the words.

Ming Qi came to accompany me for breakfast, and he left Changwu Hall not long after breakfast.

"Qihe, did the emperor stay at Wenxiu Palace last night?"

After Mingqi left, I looked at the back of Mingqi and turned around to ask Qihe.

At that time Qihe just came in, and because I seldom asked which palace Mingqi would spend the night in before, so after hearing my question, Qihe was as steady as her in normal times, but now he is also I was taken aback for a while, and then I saw her after a while before I nodded and replied: "Return to the Queen Mother, yes."

"It was so."

This answer is not the slightest difference from what I expected before.

I listened to Qihe's words, and turned my head to look outside again.

At that time, Mingqi's figure was disappearing at the gate of Changwu Hall. I looked at the gate of Changwu Hall where Mingqi's figure could no longer be seen, and suddenly smiled.

And when I couldn't help laughing afterwards, what I said to Chang Ruo yesterday came to my mind:

"If Qiu Zhaoyi is dissatisfied with Aijia's decision, she can go to the emperor and talk to the emperor, or wait until one day Qiu Zhaoyi becomes the empress or empress dowager and takes charge of the power of the harem, and then discuss with Aijia whether to accept or not."

Chang Ruo, in the end, you still win!
