concubines

Chapter 337 Dead time has come
Lin Yanchi couldn't calm down, and couldn't quietly wait for death to come.

After carefully analyzing Miaoli's weaknesses, she successfully discovered that she has no weaknesses now.

All she could barely think of was her family.It's a pity that Lin Yan didn't dare to act without authorization, she was risking herself.If Miaoli's close people are attacked again, she may fall before Miaoli.She had no choice but to attack Miaoli's family before, but died in the first step.

And there are many examples before her eyes, she doesn't want to follow in Princess Helan's footsteps.

The Qingquan Palace was very lively, all the maids and eunuchs from Lin Yanchi's side came over, and they all stood in the courtyard with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Miao Li had already let them stand outside for a while, deliberately setting aside time for them to think about what to do and how to speak.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Miao Li went out.Someone lifted up a stool to sit outside, still didn't speak immediately, just looked at them quietly.I could see people getting lower and lower for a while, and they all bent over.

The maids did not dare to raise their heads, and all of them held their breath and concentrated, not daring to move half a minute.Fearing that a little action would attract Miaoli's attention, she made a stand out.

Miao Li looked at them for a while, but still didn't talk to them, but casually said to Madam Xi: "I heard that the Clothes Bureau is going to let some maids out, and they need someone to make up for it. I don't know if Huang Zhaoyi has made arrangements." No?"

"Zhaoyi hasn't come to report yet, it should be that the arrangements haven't been made yet."

"You ask someone to ask what's going on. If it's really impossible, I will help her."

After saying these few words, Miao Li turned her head to Lin Yanchi and the maids, her tone was still flat, "I heard that Concubine An has been a little irritable recently, she beat and scolded you all, I don't know what's going on, do you know?"

The people below said in unison: "The slaves don't know."

"That's right, slaves can't easily criticize their master, and not all of you can get in touch with her." Miao Li seemed to understand them very well, "But I was temporarily soft-hearted and asked someone to take your place. Now it's a bit difficult. I don't know how to arrange you. Do you have any ideas?"

"The slaves and maidservants listen to the arrangement of the empress, and dare not have any ideas." What else could they have thought, seeing what Miao Li meant, she would definitely send them to the Clothes Bureau.

Miao Li took the roster, looked at it and said: "I see that some of you are about to leave the palace, and it's only a few days away. I'll just give you a convenience and let you go out early. As for For others, the number of empresses in each palace is fixed. You go back and think about it, and you can work wherever you want."

Everyone felt a little unexpected, thinking that entering the Qingquan Palace meant stepping into the gate of hell, but they didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

But some people are still uneasy, there is no pie in the sky, Miao Li may just give them a candy first, and then slowly clean them up.

But I heard Miaoli say again: "That's it, you go down first, think about it."

She didn't believe it in her heart, but Miao Li had already said it, and she had to believe it if she didn't believe it. She really wanted to let them go, so a bunch of court ladies bowed and retreated.

When he was about to walk to the door, he heard Miao Li say again: "Mei Qin, please stay here."

Mei Qin breathed a sigh of relief just now, and became anxious again, retreated and knelt down in front of Miao Li, "Niang Niang."

She is Lin Yanchi's great court lady, Miao Li might be able to let others go easily, but she may not be able to let her go easily.Those people could do whatever they wanted, and she might have to do the laundry, or maybe not even have the chance to do it.

Miao Li said with a slight smile: "Get up quickly, you don't need much courtesy here in this palace."

Mei Qin stood up, saw her kind attitude and boldly asked: "I don't know what orders does the empress have for keeping the slaves?"

Miao Li said in a calm tone, "Is there anything I can't tell you? It's just that you are not bad, so I have some selfish intentions and want to ask you to help me. My sister-in-law is alone with three children, and she is a little too busy. The little Highness comes here often, so he is even busier, and there are not enough people."

Mei Qin lowered her head and replied: "Thank you for your appreciation, my servant will definitely take good care of your Highness and Miss Young Master."

"I believe that you can be a good person. When you were still at home, you often helped take care of your younger siblings, which saved your mother a lot of worry. Raising a daughter like you is much better than a son."

Mei Qin's heart felt cold, it made her think about her family.

Miaoli went on to say: "When you come to this palace, you don't have to think too much, just do your job well. If you really take care of people, maybe when they go back, they will let you go out of the palace together. Ben Brother Gong has only his wife by his side, so he needs more personal care."

Mei Qin lowered her head and thought to herself, what she said meant that she wanted to be her brother's concubine.I am not young anymore, and I don't have much status in my family, so I may not be able to marry a good man even if I leave the palace.It is indeed a good choice to marry the concubine's younger brother as a concubine.

And she has no other choice now, except to return to the noble concubine.When she entered the door, she first made her feel uneasy, then mentioned the matter of the laundry bureau to scare them, and said that she could give them a good result so that she thought she could escape, then immediately mentioned her family, and finally put another candy in front of her.She is already in a mess, and she can no longer calm down.

Miao Li didn't say a word about Lin Yanchi, but Mei Qin had the urge to say it herself.

"Thank you for your grace, my servant will definitely do my best, my lady can rest assured."

"Of course I don't worry about it, let alone my younger brother's child. Even if it is my own child, I can trust you to take care of it." Miao Li looked at the sky and sighed with a smile, "But I don't have that life."

At last the place was mentioned, and she finally had a chance to speak.

Mei Qin knelt down and said, "It's not that your mother didn't have this fate, it's because someone intentionally harmed her."

Miao Li pretended not to know, "What do you mean?"

Mei Qin poured out everything she knew, "At that time, the Geng family was provoking in front of the emperor, and the person behind it was Concubine An. That day, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army got a letter to the emperor from nowhere, which stated The empress was pregnant, she explained everything very clearly, and the emperor would never be suspicious when she saw it. But when the letter got into Concubine An's hands, she felt jealous. In addition, there were some conflicts between the Geng family and the empress at that time, so she was in the Geng family. Fan the flames in front of her, let Geng help her speak in front of the emperor."

It was really her who did it, Miao Li now knows that she doesn't have such a strong reaction.It has long been irreparable, and there is no way to get excited.Silently make a note for her in my heart, and I will settle the account when the time comes.

Miao Li leaned back on the chair and said flatly, "Since you have already spoken, tell me everything you know."

Mei Qin originally wanted to surrender, she wanted to hear, so she went on to say: "There is also Feng Shi, Feng Shi didn't want to fight against your mother at the beginning. He only pretended to be the emperor in his heart, Concubine An gave Feng Shi aphrodisiac, Feng Shi didn't even have it. On her own body. Later, she was instigated by her, so Feng's temperament changed drastically, and she found her. In the end, Feng's death was also at her hands."

The medicine was really given by Feng Shi, she was the one who wrongly blamed Zhou Shuxuan, no wonder he was so innocent at that time.

"What else?" Miao Li suddenly remembered something, "Is she really powerless to dissuade Concubine Yi at that time, or is it something else?"

Mei Qin thought about it for a while and said: "At that time, she pushed the servant away, but the servant vaguely heard what he was saying to Princess Helan from behind. It seemed that he was urging Princess Helan to kill someone. The two talked for a long time. So The servant speculates..."

So it could be her too.

Miao Li took a deep breath, she has always been kind to others, and she will try her best to tolerate what she can, and she will not cut off anyone's way of life casually.Enduring to the end, it turned out to be such a result.

Sure enough, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at riding.It was hard to tell that Lin Yanchi had a soft and weak appearance of a lady of every family, who seemed to be full of poetry and books, but was full of treacherous and vicious thoughts.

The child, Li Youfu, has become a pain that she can't get over, and she didn't expect it to be caused by one person.

Mei Qin raised her head and took a peek at Miao Li. She thought she would have a big reaction, but unexpectedly she leaned back on the chair quietly.Except for the eyes becoming a little distant, there is no big change in the rest.

I was already heartbroken, no matter how sad I was, I couldn't go anywhere, so I was extra calm.

Miaoli walked away for a while, then suddenly thought of Meiqin again, and told her the truth: "I lied to you just now, my brother and his wife are loving, and I don't need one more person to take care of me. You won't stay in my palace to serve , Lin Yanchi knows that you betrayed her, and he will definitely hold you back before he dies, and it is also dangerous for you to stay in the palace."

Miao Li glanced at the waiter next to him, who handed over a silver bag.Miao Li bent down and put it in front of Mei Qin, "You take the money and leave the palace, I will send you out, and I will help you arrange your family."

Mei Qin didn't know whether she should cry or laugh, if she had known this, she should have said these words directly, and even wanted to tell Miao Li these things earlier.

She has long heard that the imperial concubine treats people kindly and treats her servants extremely well, but she didn't believe it before.After all, every master has a bit of a temper, and it is impossible to be perfect. Now I really believe it.

Mei Qin knelt on the ground and kowtowed nonstop, "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am, for your great kindness."

"No need, leave the palace as soon as possible."

After watching people go out, Miao Li asked, "What time is it now?"

The person next to him replied, "It's time for you."

Miaoli stood up and patted her clothes, muttering something, "Yihai year, Dingmao month, Dingmao day, Youshen time, rushing to the east of the rabbit. Lin Yanchi is a rabbit, and Yongyan Palace is to the east. The time, place and people are harmonious. Her time has come."
