Rebirth after waste

Chapter 39

"Goukiss?" The voice raised dangerously, "Is it the hookkiss commonly known as 'broken grass'?"

Xue Changsong shrank slightly under the oppression of this powerful aura, and tried his best to calm his mind before he could calmly say: "Yes. Gook kisses are highly poisonous, and even the water soaked in them can kill people. The third son of the emperor The minced meat is mixed with a very small amount of kelp water, the amount is not life-threatening for an adult, but it is enough to kill a baby less than five months old."

The emperor smiled slightly, his eyes full of coldness, "Hook kiss. It's actually a hook kiss." Turning his head to look into the hall, "Where is the eunuch who tried the food?"

A young eunuch slowly crawled out of the people kneeling on the ground, his face was as pale as a ghost, trembling all over, he walked all the way to the hall on his knees.

"Your Majesty..." He kowtowed tremblingly, not daring to lift his forehead against the lichen.

"Why didn't you try to find out that the diet is different?" the emperor said lightly.

"Chen...Chen..." His voice was trembling unbearably, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xue Changsong couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and said bravely: "Your Majesty, because there is too little water in this hook kiss, you can't taste it. And this kind of poisonous silver needle can't be tried. The reason why Mrs. Wanyi reacts so strongly is because she has always been weak, and she has just given birth, which is when her body is weak. But this middle-aged and noble person has a healthy physique, and she is not as good as Mrs. Wanyi. There are many, so there is no response for the time being."

The emperor nodded knowingly.Seeing his expression, the young eunuch thought that he had been forgiven, and just as he relaxed, he heard His Majesty casually say: "Drag me down and die."

His legs went limp, and his whole body collapsed into mud.

Immediately someone came over and grabbed his arms and dragged him out.He wanted to beg for mercy, but his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't say a word.

"Your Majesty." A gentle voice with soothing power.The emperor turned his head, but saw Gu Yunxian kneeling in the crowd, looking up at him, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

People around looked at her in horror, wondering what kind of demon she was possessed by.

The state of the emperor today is not normal at first glance.Although he is moody, he is usually very lenient towards his servants, and it is very rare for him to blurt out that he will be killed with a stick.The few concubines who knew more about the affairs in the palace had already thought of the incident of Lin Jieyu's poisoning back then, guessing that today's incident probably touched His Majesty's old hatred, and they were so angry.

Under such circumstances, Gu Yunxian must be too heroic to catch up with the bad luck!

"I don't blame the eunuch who tasted the food this time. Even if he is wrong, he will not be guilty of death." Gu Yunxian said, "A king should be rewarded and punished clearly. To vent his anger on innocent people like this is to be compared with those treacherous people. What's the difference?"

The emperor's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he looked at her without saying a word.

Gu Yunxian still maintained that slightly raised head posture, his eyes were clear and clear, and he was upright.

Yu Shuyi and Ming Chongyi knelt close to each other and exchanged glances without showing any traces. They both had some expectations in their hearts, waiting for His Majesty's fury.

Gu Yunxian really pretended to be virtuous and virtuous too much, and now he has learned the tricks of admonishing officials.What kind of temperament is Your Majesty?That is the same absurd behavior as the late emperor.When have you ever heard that the first emperor accepted advice humbly?
"Lv Chuan." The emperor took a deep breath and said calmly, "Go out and order the executioner to give him thirty sticks, and don't beat him to death."

Ming Chongyi's eyes widened suddenly, filled with horror and disbelief.

"promise."

Lu Chuan took the order and left.The emperor personally stepped forward to help Gu Yunxian up, "I was in a bad mood just now, I didn't see you here too, and made you kneel for so long."

"The concubine understands that your Majesty is thinking about sister Xing." Gu Yunxian said, "The concubine was also worried, so she rushed over as soon as she heard the news. Fortunately, sister Xing and the third son of the emperor are not alive, it is really unfortunate The great fortune in it."

The emperor nodded, "Indeed, misfortune is the greatest fortune." No matter how you listen to the latter sentence, you feel that there is a deep meaning behind it.

Among the people kneeling on the ground in the hall, only the two of them stood there, talking like no one else.

"Your Majesty, my concubine feels that there is something hidden about Rou Wanyi's poisoning, and it should be thoroughly investigated." Ming Chongyi couldn't stand being ignored like this, and suddenly spoke.

The emperor turned his head when he heard the words, looked at Ming Chongyi for a while, and nodded, "Of course we have to investigate thoroughly. It's just that Yueniang thinks, who should I hand over to investigate thoroughly?"

"This is a matter of the harem, naturally the concubine and Yu Shuyi will investigate it." Ming Chongyi said.

She answered quickly, and it was too late for Yu Shuyi beside her to stop her, so she had to close her eyes resignedly.

How many times will this Jiang Yuechang harm her!
During this period of time, there were frequent mistakes in the harem, in the final analysis, it was because of Jiang Yuechang.She has a strong personality, and when she first took power in the palace, she wanted to compete with herself, as if she didn't even remember that His Majesty granted her the power of "associate with the sixth palace". Now she is Shen Zhuyang, the serious manager of the harem.

Naturally, she couldn't allow her to seize power, and had fought with her several times overtly and secretly. Although she shattered her wishful thinking, she also neglected all aspects of management.From the startled horse incident, she was worried that His Majesty would think that it was because of her ineffective governance of the palace, and took advantage of the situation to cut her palace power.

He was trying to make up for it, but at this moment Rou Wanyi was poisoned again.It's really a house leak and it rains all night.

Listening to His Majesty's question just now, it is clearly intended to be a test.The person who poisoned has not been found yet, and the two of them are also one of the suspects. It seems too guilty for her to actively express her intention to take over the matter!
Taking a step back, even if His Majesty didn't suspect them, if he had neglected his duty so far, he still hadn't rushed to apologize. Being so righteous would only annoy him even more.

Sure enough, the emperor smiled slightly, "Leave it to you and Zhuyang? I did do this before." There was a hint of coldness in the voice, "I trust you and hand over this harem to you, but what do you give me in return?" ?”

Ming Chongyi was stunned.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are not effective in governing the palace, and they have failed His Majesty's entrustment." Yu Shuyi bowed to the end, "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Yu Shuyi was the first to plead guilty, Ming Chongyi gritted his teeth in hatred.Reason told her that she should kowtow to plead guilty at this moment, but she just couldn't swallow the breath in her heart.

It's obvious that someone secretly played tricks on this matter, so how could she be blamed?
The emperor caught a glimpse of Ming Chongyi's expression, and his eyes became even colder.

Seeing this, Yu Shuyi thought for a while, and then said: "The concubine is so bold, please give the concubine a chance to pay for the crime. Thoroughly investigate this matter, and give justice to Rou Wanyi and the third son of the emperor."

The emperor looked at Yu Shuyi indifferently for a while, "It's not impossible for you to pay for your merits. But I think Zhu Yang may not be too busy for you alone, so let's find someone to be with you."

Ming Chongyi raised his head and looked at the emperor.

"Yunniang, I have to work hard for you this time." The emperor looked at Gu Yunxian, and when he touched her snowy face, his indifferent eyes softened a little, "You are used to the affairs of the harem. Thinking about it, there is no one more suitable than you."

Gu Yunxian seemed a little surprised, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty means..."

"From now on, you and Yu Shuyi will manage the affairs of the inner court together."

Yu Shuyi felt a chill in her heart.

She naturally knew that Gu Yunxian held the palace power and Jiang Yuechang held the palace power, and there was a huge difference in nature.Jiang Yuechang had very little contact with inner court affairs before, and was very unfamiliar with the affairs of the Six Palaces, so she was slow to learn, so she couldn't compete with her.But Gu Yunxian is different.She was originally the mistress of the house and had her own extensive contacts in the palace.

All the affairs of the daily life of the people in the harem are in charge of the Dian Nei Sheng and Liu Shang Bureau, and most of the heads of these official offices are selected by Gu Yunxian.Yu Shuyi has been in charge of the palace for more than a year, and she has always wanted to replace her cronies, but the relationship between the servants is also intricate, and it is difficult for her to completely change in a short period of time.

Now if Gu Yunxian regained power in the palace, it would be easy to find the old department and make a comeback.

What's more, according to the emperor's tone, Gu Yunxian is not assisting her in managing affairs, but the two of them are in charge together!
"Your Majesty, do you want your concubines to assist Yu Shuyi in managing the Six Palaces?" Gu Yunxian asked suspiciously.

"No, not the assistant." The emperor said, "You two are together, regardless of priority."

Gu Yunxian lowered his head slightly, struggling.

Seeing this, Yu Shuyi's heart rang alarm bells.What does that expression mean?Now that this is the case, could it be that she is still not satisfied, she must be the champion to be satisfied?

"The concubine thinks that His Majesty's arrangement is slightly inappropriate." Gu Yunxian said seriously, "There has never been a situation where two people take care of the affairs of the harem together, regardless of priority. If you encounter major issues that are difficult to decide in the future , the concubine and Yu Shuyi have disagreements and are deadlocked, so what should I do?"

The emperor looked at her, "Then what do you mean?"

Gu Yunxian looked respectful, and said solemnly: "Yu Shuyi's status is the most respected, and the concubine takes the second place. I am willing to assist her in managing the six palaces."

Yu Shuyi's eyes were wide open, and there was an unconcealable look of astonishment on her face, which was the best at disguising.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and seemed to sigh slightly, "Okay, since you said so, I will follow you." After thinking for a while, he said, "But the person who is in charge of the sixth palace needs to be more attractive in terms of position, otherwise he will be in a bad position." It's outrageous."

Without waiting for Gu Yunxian's reaction, he casually said to Lu Chuan: "Decree, Jinyuan Jieyu Gu's family is the third-rank noble concubine, and she is bestowed the right to assist the six palaces."

"Your Majesty..." Gu Yunxian seemed to want to decline, but seeing that he had already opened his mouth, she couldn't say anything more, so she could only obediently bow to Xie En, "My concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded slightly, asked her to get up, then looked at Ming Chongyi, and said in a flat tone, "I see Yueniang, you still can't do these trivial things in the palace, so you don't need to worry about it anymore, you can come back to me." leisure time."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the emperor's tone, and Ming Chongyi knew that there was no room for redemption, and she didn't want to beg to lose face, so she just kowtowed silently, which was regarded as acceptance.

"Okay, let's all get up." The emperor glanced around at the kneeling beauties, and finally showed mercy and let them go.

Gu Yunxian stood beside the emperor, looking at the people around him, his heart was as calm as the surface of a lake in autumn, without any waves.

Everything is going according to her plan.

The bowl of minced meat mixed with hook kiss water was written by Zhuang Lingyi, and the third son of the emperor was the focus of this plan.In their plan, the target of the poison is the third son of the emperor, but Gu Yunxian knows that Rou Wanyi is absolutely reluctant to risk her son.So she told her that the third son didn't need to drink minced meat, but she could just drink it.As long as the portion is well controlled, there will be no serious problems.

They don't need anyone to die, they just want to use this incident to make His Majesty clearly realize how lax the guard in the harem is now, and how dereliction of duty Shen Zhuyang and Jiang Yuechang are.

I have made enough bedding before, all the hay and firewood have been laid, and I only need Rou Wanyi to light the fire.

Now the result came out, better than she expected.Not only did she get the palace power, but she was also unexpectedly promoted to the half-rank position, which can be described as a complete victory.

As for the emperor asking her and Yu Shuyi to thoroughly investigate Rou Wanyi's poisoning, she was not worried at all.She was the one who committed the crime, and she was the one who investigated the case. It was effortless to get her out.

What she needs to do is to seize this great opportunity and have a good chat with Shen Zhuyang.

I gave up such a big benefit today, so I can't get nothing in the end.
