Harem strategy

Chapter 90
"In order to buy that laxative, I directly gave 20 taels of silver. By the way, there is one more thing." In order to make up for it, Tortoise didn't care about anything. The best things in this palace are all arranged in Wan Anxuan. I also found out that Concubine Hui likes to write, so I sent the best Hui ink in my collection to Wan Anxuan's study. It is said that the Hui ink has a strange fragrance. , as long as the ink is rubbed, the room will be full of fragrance."

Xiao Liuzi said: "How do you know so clearly? You are a court lady, can Director Li tell you this?"

The tortoise shell said: "I have a sister from my hometown who is also a maid in the palace. She, she is Li Gonggong's opponent. Once she told me that Li Gonggong was drunk and told her. He also said that if Concubine Hui likes it, he might be transferred to the palace in the future, and he will also find a way to get my good sister to go there."

"You really said that?" Little Six asked immediately.

"Well, she told me, and I begged her to take me back too, but she said, I'm working as an errand in Danbo, and I have a ready-made opportunity, so I just,"

"Okay, let's take a look at her first, and don't let the wind leak." Xiao Liuzi ordered.

"Master, look, is there any problem here?" Little Six told Liu Yongquan all about what he just asked.

Liu Yongquan said: "You wait, I have to tell the emperor."

"Master, there is really a problem, is it that Mo?" Little Six's heart tightened.

"It's best if there is no problem, but if there is a problem, it will be too late! Think about it for yourself, that kumquat incident!"

Liu Yongquan didn't dare to delay for a quarter of an hour, and immediately went to tell the emperor.

When Li Jialuo saw the emperor bringing a group of people over, he didn't even have time to salute, so the emperor said: "The place where the ink is stored in your study, quickly take me there to have a look!"

"What's wrong with the emperor?" Li Jialuo asked as he hurried away.

The emperor said without turning his head, "What kind of ink are you using now?"

Li Jialuo replied: "It's all the ink of the offering, Your Majesty, is there any problem?"

"Do you use the ink offered here?"

"The ink offered here? The emperor said that it was offered here in the palace?" Li Jialuo asked.

"Yes," he said and walked to the study.

Li Jialuo said: "The ink here, the concubines are all put aside, and they haven't had time to use them yet. The concubines have been put away."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, then went to the study and asked Li Jialuo's people to take out those inks. There are many kinds, and the emperor asked him to bring them

The imperial doctor checked them one by one, and the ink had to be crushed before they could be distinguished.

"Report to the emperor, there is something wrong with these two inks!" The imperial physician said: "There are hallucinogenic drugs in this ink. If users use this ink to write, although it has a strange fragrance, it will cause mental depression. If you use it for a long time, Sleep deprivation, hallucinations, and then a nervous breakdown, and finally going crazy."

"Your Majesty!" Li Jialuo trembled, "Is there no problem if you don't need it?" This is what the Emperor asked.

The imperial doctor said: "This medicine needs to be mixed with water to dissipate it. Now the empress is useless, so there is no problem."

"What about children?" Children are always weaker.

"As long as you don't smell this ink, there will be no problem."

Li Jialuo breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty, it's no wonder that there are no concubines at all, and Luo Er didn't bring them into the study either!"

The imperial physician took the two inks away, and the emperor ordered someone to search the study thoroughly.Found no more.

"Your Majesty, how do you know this?" Li Jialuo asked.

"Don't ask this first, I'm telling you, everything in the future has to be checked and checked again, don't just use things you don't know the details of."

"Yes, Chenqie understands! Chenqie will be more careful in the future! It's just that this is the first time for Chenqie to come to this palace, and I have no grudges with others. Who would harm my wife like this?" Li Jialuo said, "It doesn't matter if you harm my wife. , as long as it doesn't harm Luo Er."

"Nonsense, your mother and concubine are gone, Luoer is so young, you have to live well. I will make the decision for you!" the emperor said.

In the end, the emperor asked Liu Yongquan to tell Li Jialuo the matter, and Li Jialuo hurriedly said: "Thank you, Eunuch Liu, if it wasn't for Eunuch Liu, I would have been killed before I know when, speaking of it, it's also my fault, if it wasn't for my liking For writing, everyone will not send me ink, and then let people take advantage of the loopholes."

"Your Majesty, don't think about it too much. People in this palace often play tricks to harm others. They are jealous of the emperor's kindness to your empress. What's more, your empress has a good fortune. Their calculations are all in vain in the end. "Liu Yongquan said, "The servant is not talking empty words. As long as the empress takes good care of the third prince, the emperor will feel at ease."

This is the first time that Liu Yongquan has made such a clear 'point' to Concubine Hui.

Li Jialuo said: "My father-in-law's kindness, I will keep it in my heart."

Go out and talk to the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine never dares to be careless about things for Luo Er. Even this ink, the concubine also wants to put it away first."

The emperor nodded. Concubine Hui had many people to deal with her, but they never succeeded once. Maybe Concubine Hui was really lucky.Nothing can save the day.

He also needs a mother who can protect his children, not someone who doesn't know anything and needs protection from others.

Concubine Hui's caution played a role this time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, at Concubine Hui's side, I heard that the Emperor has brought a team of troops to surround him!" Concubine Jing's first maid Shan Huan rushed over to report.

"What you said is true? Is it really surrounded?" That's really great. Concubine Hui committed a crime, which is in her own favor.

Concubine Jing thought, as long as Concubine Hui committed a serious crime this time, she might be sent to the cold palace, or she would be left in this palace without a chance to go back to the palace.How beneficial is that to yourself?
"Go and inquire quietly to find out what's going on." Concubine Jing said, "Don't be afraid to spend money. If you get useful news, come back and report it!"

Queen Zhao also got the news in Jingjingzhai, "What? The emperor took people to Wan Anxuan angrily? This is impossible."

The emperor still likes Concubine Hui very much. Judging from his attitude towards the third prince, it doesn't seem like he wants to be angry with Concubine Hui. Could something have happened?
Speaking of which, it's not easy to be a favorite concubine in this palace, and there are enough things about this concubine Hui.After hearing this, the eldest princess said: "Queen, go and have a look quickly. You are the lord of the first palace. If something happens, you go to mediate and mediate. Maybe nothing will happen."

Queen Zhao said: "Your father didn't say to let the queen mother go. If the mother passes, it will be disgusting. Ping An, if something happens to Concubine Hui, wouldn't it be better to ask your third brother to come here?"

The eldest princess shook her head and said: "Mother, my son thinks this is inappropriate. When the third emperor grows up, he may think that the mother has harmed his mother and concubine. Once he is instigated by someone, he will secretly have trouble with the mother. , What's so good about this? We just want his mother and concubine to live well. As long as we work together and see people's hearts for a long time, isn't it great? Erchen thinks that Concubine Hui doesn't look like that kind of ignorant People, as long as we don't ask too much, I believe we can always get along well."

The eldest princess hates the Zhao family very much. If the concubine of the third emperor's younger brother is no longer there, and the mother adopts the third emperor's younger brother, then the people of the Zhao family should not try to sow discord?
Anyway, as long as she and her mother are good, the people of the Zhao family, she will let them die!

"I'm afraid that Concubine Hui's ambition will become high, and the queen mother will not be able to afford it." Among the women in the palace, who doesn't want to be a queen?Concubine Hui has a prince and is favored by the emperor. If she really wants to pull herself down, maybe she will succeed.

What is the end for a person who has been a queen?

"Mother, don't you know that Concubine Hui's natal family is not prominent, and she has no choice but to want it. Empress Mother, I feel that everything is risky, why don't you give it a try?"

"Okay, Ping An, you are still young, and you don't understand some things. The queen mother will promise you that as long as others don't challenge the queen mother's position, the queen mother will not do anything to them." Before I die, I won't make it easier for others.

However, the queen was quickly called over by the emperor.

Something happened to Wan Anxuan, the concubines in the palace were very excited, they just inquired about the news, but they couldn't find out, because the news couldn't get out, so they called Queen Zhao over.

After hearing what happened, Empress Zhao felt that Concubine Hui was also quite unlucky, and wondered if she should persuade the emperor to spend more time with other concubines, lest everyone take their grievances on Concubine Hui. Why did they all meet Concubine Hui?
When such a thing happened, it was natural to arrest Manager Li. Fortunately, it was discovered early and no one was found dead.

Mr. Li's opposite food, that is, the maid from the same country as the tortoiseshell, was about to feed poison to herself, but someone snatched the poison and was arrested. This person's name is Huifang, who is about 20 years old, and was arrested. He didn't say a word.

But because she was about to swallow the poison, there was something strange about this matter.

But Director Li felt that he was wronged, he just wanted to curry favor with Concubine Hui, he had no other intentions at all.

The fragrant ink is really a tribute, and I secretly hid it. Knowing that Concubine Hui likes to write, I specially kept it as a tribute to Concubine Hui.

"Eunuch Liu, it was Huifang who harmed me. I didn't even know there was something wrong with that ink. If you lend me a hundred courage, I will not give something wrong to Concubine Hui. Please forgive me, Eunuch Liu." The little ones, the little ones are innocent!"

Liu Yongquan shook his head straight, and said to Eunuch Li: "Just relying on your mouth, there is no proof, you sent the things up, who else is not you?"

"It must be that little bitch Huifang who killed me! She didn't want to be my opponent at the time, so she wanted to get rid of me. She wanted to kill me so that she could be herself."
Be at ease!Eunuch Liu, you must return my innocence! "

Liu Yongquan said with all his heart, what is your innocence? In this palace, you, Mr. Li, can cover the sky with one hand, and you can even buy medicine for the maids. You don't know how much you have just because of your good friends. This Huifang Just one of you.

A rootless person cannot be a man, so what does he need so much food for?It's a complete waste of people.

Now you can bring in laxatives for a little money, but if you spend a lot more, can you even bring in poison?It's really not a pity that this kind of person is dead now.

So no matter how much Eunuch Li complains about being wronged, he is definitely dead, it's just the time of his death that differs sooner or later.

"Your majesty, I see, this Li Baogui is totally ignorant and has been used by others. However, he has done a lot of evil in this palace and forced many people to work for him. The maid named Huifang has already been tortured. But he didn't say a single word." It was a tough one.

The emperor said: "Liu Yongquan, I don't need to listen to this, I just want to know the final result, this time I don't give Concubine Hui an explanation, I can't justify myself."

Liu Yongquan said: "Your Majesty, the slave should do his best."

But this Huifang, after suffering such torture, passed out many times, but didn't say a word.Huobi said that all the people in her hometown died, and there was no such thing as a family member being held hostage.

Moreover, no extra gold, silver and jewels were found in Huifang's house, which showed that she was not bribed.

Could this Huifang have a grudge against Concubine Hui?

Seeing that several days had passed, Liu Yongquan was furious. This maid is really tough.No one said a word when asked.

The emperor had to give an explanation himself, Liu Yongquan first asked the tortoise, because the tortoise said they were from the same village, to see if the tortoise remembered anything.

Fortunately, the tortoise shell was not dealt with at that time, and the tortoise shell was also fainted from fright, and said: "Hui Fang and I are only from the same state capital, not the same township, so I don't know. After selling it, she entered the palace and was assigned to the Summer Palace. She should have never met Concubine Hui."

It seems that the tortoise shell is not clear either, Liu Yongquan asked people to watch these people carefully, so as not to kill others to silence them.

He had no choice but to go to Concubine Hui, otherwise the emperor would get angry, and it would be uncomfortable.

After hearing this, Concubine Hui said, "Hui Fang? I've never heard of this name. In the past, I rarely saw people."

That's right, one is a lady from everyone, and the other is a girl from the country, how could there be any intersection?He was really confused.

"Amber has been with me for a little longer, Eunuch Liu, why don't you let her go and have a look, maybe I really know her."

"Thank you, Concubine Hui." Liu Yongquan said hastily.

Amber followed, but she didn't know this person. She went back and said to Li Jialuo: "This person, I have never seen this person from the beginning to the end. I feel that she must have been instructed by others, but she didn't say a word, and she didn't say anything. I don't know if she used that Li Baogui to give it, or if she was wronged. But if she was wronged, why would she commit suicide by taking poison? It's not justified!"

"Wait, tell me, is she a scapegoat?" Li Jialuo said.

"Master, you mean that she deliberately took poison in front of people, so that everyone thought she did it, just to protect the real murderer?"

"It's not impossible! If she doesn't say a word, she will either carry it to the end, or she just doesn't want to say more and shows her feet. This kind of person's temperament is really not sure!"

Some people will do anything for the people they care about.

"Then master, are you going to talk to Eunuch Liu?"

"Go ahead, just remind Eunuch Liu, ask more people in the palace to see if there is anything about this Huifang that others haven't noticed, maybe someone really saw it, isn't there a saying that says, There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and this palace is not usually so lively. Some things, if you see them, may be clues. This matter, speaking of it, is also my business. Helping Eunuch Liu also helped me Own."

"The servant girl will tell Eunuch Liu now."

"There's no need to be so anxious, haven't you eaten yet? Eat before going." Li Jialuo laughed.

After listening to what Hu Po brought, Eunuch Liu thought, yes, he is indeed not a woman, so he didn't think carefully, and he didn't think that this Hui Fang might be a scapegoat for someone else.He wants to check, check carefully, he doesn't believe that these people can fly to the sky!
"Bring the tortoiseshell to our house!" Liu Yongquan felt ashamed that he had been tricked!
The tortoise shell was brought over by someone, and was thrown on the ground, "Eunuch Liu, what are you doing? Didn't the servants say everything?"

"I've said everything, good you tortoiseshell, you are so good, you have deceived my father-in-law! My father-in-law knows that Huifang is a tough guy, but I don't know if you are a tough guy. Come, give me the punishment! "
