first class maid

Chapter 34
"Your Majesty, what Xun Nu Shi said is true." Gao Wenxuan also hurried out to clarify.

Yu Wentai frowned, and then realized Xun Zhen's surname, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who is Xun Fang?"

"He is the grandfather of the slave." Xun Zhen said.

Yu Wenhong saw that his father's face was not good-looking, and put down the tea bowl gracefully, "Father, do you remember? She is a member of the Xun family who was pardoned back then, so she has no personal relationship with Gao Shilang."

It was only then that Yu Wentai took a closer look at Xun Zhen's appearance. No wonder she always felt that she looked quite similar to Xun Fang. She was indeed of that family's blood. After seeing Xun Zhen's respectful expression, he calmed down just now.

Xie Sizhi thought it hurt to catch Xun Zhen, but he didn't expect that she really had such a relationship with Gao Wenxuan. His originally calm expression suddenly became a little flustered, and he glanced at Concubine Feng, only to see that she was still sitting high , didn't even look at her from the corner of her eyes, her heart turned cold, and she saw her niece wanting to speak, and she hurriedly gestured behind her back to tell her to shut up, "Even so, Master Gao will treat dogs Are you sick?" This is also unreasonable.

Yu Wenchun laughed softly, "Xie Sizhi really didn't hear anything out of the window. The white tiger that came from the Yi people as a tribute the year before was sick and was cured by Gao Shilang. How difficult is it to see the disease of a pine-haired dog?" ? There are not a few people who know about this.”

"Well, there is such a thing." Yu Wentai nodded, and the balance in his heart seemed to be tilted.

"Your Majesty, although it is a trivial matter for Xie Sizhi to falsely accuse the maidservant, the maidservant knelt here today to argue with her just to ask the emperor to stop the sixth bureau from privately interrogating the court ladies. This is the only way to clear up the atmosphere in the palace." Xun Zhen said earnestly, thinking of Lu Rong, she felt a pain in her heart, because she had no time to communicate with Rong Rong due to the emotional conflict, and she didn't know what was going on with her now?
Empress Tang got up from her chair with a "chuckle", and her face changed drastically, "Situ Hui, Xu You, is what she said true?"

Situ Shanggong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, all slaves and servants have neglected their duties. Although I have heard about this, I haven't seen it in person. Maybe some of my subordinates have received benefits, which is why they have these unruly actions."

"Your Majesty, the servants are also guilty. It's true. It's just that this unwritten rule has been left in the previous dynasty, so the servants didn't pay much attention to it, which led to this big event." Xu You also had the courage to take responsibility.

The other four senior court ladies looked at each other and saw some tricks. Taking the blame for the crime made the crime lighter, and secondly, going back to rectify the atmosphere in this bureau is a great opportunity to strengthen their power, so they all Stand up and take the blame.

Empress Tang smiled insignificantly with satisfaction, but when she turned her head to face the emperor, she had a different face, "Your Majesty, as a middle palace, the ministers and concubines are also guilty of failing to manage these maids well, and please punish them." Immediately kneeling down, it is no small matter to accept the crime of the mother of the country.

Seeing this, Yu Wenhong bowed respectfully, "Father, the empress has always managed the harem in an orderly manner, and some moths are inevitable. Please see the father for the sake of the mother's hard work in the past." Looking at Xun Zhen from the corner of his eyes, he saw She had a calm expression on her face, suddenly realized something, and smiled in her heart, he really underestimated her.

Xun Zhen just knelt on the spot, this situation was exactly what she wanted, because of this move, the Sixth Bureau will reshuffle the cards, and the small tricks used to promote her before are not worth talking about now, and this is also a good thing for Empress Tang. Empress Tang would only reward her instead of criticizing her.

Concubine Feng's hand was tightly gripping the sandalwood armchair, what she should think about now is how to protect the person she secretly intruded, it's really hateful, Chun'er, why would she do all the things she doesn't like?

Yu Wenchun was the most relaxed and comfortable person in the audience, his mother should stop, but what is there to fight for the throne?Who likes to sit, just sit enough?Why can't mother understand?That's why he took advantage of this matter to make his mother stop her unrealistic fantasies.

Emperor Yu Wentai looked at the people who pleaded guilty, and snorted in his heart. He knew what these people were thinking, "The empress will be fined for one year, and the high-ranking maids of the Sixth Bureau will be fined for half a year. All the court ladies involved in the case must be investigated to the end. The Shang Palace Bureau presided over the purge of the court ladies."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Empress Tang kowtowed, it took a lot of time to find an excuse to rectify, but now is a good opportunity, she looked back at Xun Zhen, she remembered this maid.

Only Xie Sizhi and the others looked ashen, and they couldn't get rid of their involvement in this matter.

The emperor wanted to visit Concubine Shu, so he left early. Concubine Feng Guifei and other concubines in the harem knew that Empress Tang had a heavy workload, so they knelt down one after another.

When leaving Empress Tang's bedroom, Concubine Feng secretly grabbed her son by the hand and pulled him away. She wanted to ask why this son wanted to tear her down?
Yu Wenchun knew that his mother would not be happy, and as soon as he returned to the palace, she slapped him in the face, "Chun'er, do you want your mother's life to be willing?"

"Mom, isn't this a good day?"

"No, mother wants you to be the prince and emperor, not a mere prince in the future. Why don't you understand mother's intention?"

"That's what my mother wants, not what I want." Yu Wenchun said with a serious face, "I just want my mother to live to old age in peace, and I don't want my mother to have any accidents in the future because of the fight. Do you understand?"

Concubine Feng Gui looked at her son's serious expression, she would be lying if she said that she was not moved, she stepped forward and took her son into her arms, "Chun'er, you don't understand, if we don't win the fight, our mother and son will have no place to stand."

Yu Wenchun hugged his mother with his backhand, "Mother, it's because you are worrying too much, you will not become the target of public criticism if you give in. In the future, when your son is crowned king, I will take you out of the palace to take care of you, and give mother a few more grandchildren..."

Concubine Feng Gui listened to the blueprint drawn by her son, and her heart was throbbing, but when she thought that in order for her mother to be equal to her aunt one day, she entered the palace, and she would fight for the position of the mother in the world even if she died. Once tight, she pressed her red lips tightly in her son's arms, and the light in her eyes was not dark but brightened.

In Fengyi Palace, Yu Wenhong watched his mother walk towards Xun Zhen, and asked with a gentle face, "I remember you, are you the quick-witted court lady I saw in Concubine Shu's Palace last time?"
