Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 181
As soon as she walked out, she heard Bai Lu and the palace people arguing outside.

Seeing Chen Wenxin come out, they chattered at each other, which upset her.

It turned out to be a court lady with some face, who scratched her body with her hands, and Bai Lu remembered her name.

The maid was not convinced, and clamored that she hadn't moved, so why should she write down her.

She has long been dissatisfied.

Chen Wenxin summoned all the palace people, and said that the twenty or so of them were slack and should be punished.

They were punished to kneel under the sun without being allowed to move.

Just move a stroke under the name, and a month's money will be deducted for a stroke.

They are just ordinary palace servants from the House of Internal Affairs, unlike those Bai Lu who serve in front of their masters, they can get a lot of rewards from time to time.

One month's monthly payment will be deducted for such a move, how can they bear it?

Taking advantage of Chen Wenxin's entry, they became more slack and moved quietly.

How could it have occurred to Bai Lu to remember so clearly that she would not let any water go?
One didn't know if it was a concubine who was abandoned by Hugh, and they had such a big battle, humiliating them like this.

Before in the palace, I never heard that this concubine Qin is very temperamental.When we got outside, we used them to make a raft.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant really didn't move, maybe Miss Bailu's eyes are blurry due to the hot weather?"

The maids next to her respectfully called her Aunt Bai Lu, but she was the only one who was more respectable because of her age.

How dare you call her Miss Bailu.

Chen Wenxin sneered and said, "Bailu next to me, Li Dequan wants to call you aunt, what is your identity, so you call me a girl?"

"Bai Lu said that you moved, and you didn't say that you accepted the punishment obediently, but you started arguing in public? It was Ben Gong who asked Bai Lu to supervise you, do you still want to quarrel with Ben Gong?"

The palace maid asked Chen Wenxin so much that she couldn't speak, she lowered her head angrily.

"Bold! Your Majesty asks you a question, how dare you bow your head and not answer?"

The little table scolded, "Come here, pull out this slave who has no master in his eyes!"

A few strong and strong eunuchs went up and pulled her out of the kneeling maids. Unexpectedly, the maids around her dared to pull her.

The scene became chaotic for a moment, Chen Wenxin raised his eyebrows, picked up the tea and smiled to see their dispute.

It was always a few court ladies and eunuchs surrounding the previous maid, and no one else moved.

Alright, it seems that these are the ones who took the lead in finding trouble, and the others are probably encouraged.

She winked at the little table.

The small table hurriedly called the thick and thick eunuchs, "Catch all those who are messing around!"

"Except for the few who are talking about it, everyone else should leave. The empress will reward you with iced sour plum soup and a piece of silver for each person."

The small table reported loudly, and the palace servants kneeling next to him were a little incredulous when they heard this.

It turned out that they were punished for their laziness. Unexpectedly, after kneeling for a while, the concubine Qin also rewarded sour plum soup and silver.

Everyone hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

Those chattering palace people saw that everyone else had gotten up to get the sour plum soup and money, and some of them sneaked away while they were in a hurry.

The little table pointed at that person quickly, "Catch it! No one is allowed to run away, these people are the ones leading the trouble."

In the end, a total of six court ladies and two eunuchs were arrested.

In the past, relying on the large number of people, they incited everyone in the crowd to use their temper and went on strike.

Now that everyone else has gone to receive the reward, there are only a few of them left, and the servility of each of them is exposed.

Everyone was trembling and begging for mercy, their faces were more arrogant than before, and they looked like two different people.

"I beg my mother to be kind, my mother is kind, we will never dare again."

"The slave was confused for a while, please forgive me!"

Chen Wenxin was tired of hearing this, and said: "You eight people, who is the main envoy? If you confess, this matter will have nothing to do with other people."

She still thinks that eight people are too many, and she needs to further disintegrate and divide.

Only by dismantling their alliance, they will not dare to cause trouble again in the future.

An eunuch cleverly pointed at the court lady who had spoken earlier, "Your Majesty, she encouraged us to do this!"

The maid was pointed at, and trembled in fright, and quickly reacted and pointed at the eunuch.

"Ma'am, it's him! He's calling out for a thief!"

Some said it belonged to the court lady, and some said it belonged to the eunuch, but there were different opinions.

Chen Wenxin waved his sleeves, "If you can't explain why, the eight of you are guilty of the same crime."

The twittering started to argue again, and finally some people said it was the maid from before, while others said it was the eunuch.

"Since that's the case, Xiaozhuo will send the two back to the palace and send them to the Department of Punishment for trial."

It is a capital crime of disrespect to commit slavery against a master.

She got up, and said coldly: "Go with the order of my palace to affix the golden seal. The emperor has not abolished my right to assist the harem, and it's not your turn for you slaves not to take this palace seriously."

"As for these six, each person will be given twenty boards, as a warning to others."

The six palace people hurriedly kowtowed to thank them.

Twenty boards are considered light. Compared with being dead, it is always better to be alive.

The two main criminals were still unwilling, and shouted for mercy, but were gagged with a cloth ball by the small table.

Now the world is quiet.

Chen Wenxin stood up, saw that the floor full of kneeling palace people was clean, turned around and returned to the room with satisfaction.

When she returned to the house, she found that everyone had strange expressions on their faces.

She looked at Chen Wenyi, and asked him with her eyes, what happened to her parents, why did they look like they saw someone eating shit?

Chen Wenyi gave her one. I didn't see anyone eating shit, but I saw the slightly surprised look in your eyes when you reprimanded the palace servants just now.

She was a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

"Uh, mom and dad, did you hear that?"

This was a bad start, and it seemed to scare them even more.

Zheng raised her head to look at her, she didn't expect her young daughter to become so smart and dignified after entering the palace.

She not only knows how to pay equal attention to rewards and punishments, and how to give both kindness and power, but she also speaks in an orderly manner without being angry or arrogant.

She is really...

awesome!
Zheng was touched and said: "Our family's Niannian has grown up and knows how to be a concubine and how to discipline servants. I am really a mother, I am happy for you."

Only when she can show her own identity can she not be bullied by others.

Previously, they thought that Chen Wenxin must have suffered a lot of grievances in the palace during these days when he fell out of favor.

Looking at her posture now, how can anyone feel wronged by her?

Chen Xihai twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Okay, you are my father's good daughter, you are much more dignified than my father."

He looked at Chen Wenyi again, they were all doing well, but he himself was used to being humble when he was a second-class guard.

To ask him to reprimand his servants as severely as Chen Wenxin, he really couldn't do it.

In his eyes, the roots of the Chen family are always low.

What makes him happy is that the juniors can stand up on their own and not be bullied by others, that's the best.

Even Chen Wenren, who resembles him the most, is not as humble as him.

He can no longer look down on himself in the future, and he has to show some dignity.

He is the head of the family. Only when he stands up can he stand up for his wife and children.

Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin are bolder than them.

They were still young, so they were able to enter the palace as elder brother's attendants.

And because of Chen Wenxin's relationship, the master and brothers treated them very well, which further fueled their arrogance.

Chen Wenxin was a little embarrassed, no matter how she was outside, she would always treat herself as a little girl in front of her family.

She twitched at Zheng Shi and said, "Father laughed at me, but I don't obey."

The worries just now were all gone, and the whole family sat around together, talking and laughing while eating melons and fruits.

"By the way, sister-in-law just said what she wanted to tell me?"

Everyone here is a family, and there is nothing to avoid, so she simply asked Mrs. Zeng directly.

Mrs. Zeng also said directly: "It was after my aunt came back from visiting relatives, my father sent someone to send a letter from home. He told me that there is a prisoner imprisoned in Dali Temple, and the concubine Qin may want to know about him."

"Who is it? The imperial physician named Haihong?"

Mrs. Zeng was taken aback. It seemed that Chen Wenxin really wanted to know about this, otherwise she would not think of that person whenever Dali Temple was mentioned.

"Exactly."

Chen Wenxin hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law may as well say, there is indeed a mystery about this person, and I just want to know."

Mrs. Zeng nodded, and said: "My father is Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he has the job of managing prisoners. This imperial physician Haihong was also an imperial court official and was involved in the affairs of the harem, so he paid special attention to it."

"I didn't expect the emperor's imperial decree to order Dali Sicheng to personally try Haihong's case, and no one is allowed to disclose the results of the review."

"My father was also among the people who examined Haihong at the time. Haihong was tortured nine times in Dali Temple to extract a confession, and finally he confessed to the person who instructed him."

Chen Wenxin murmured: "You mean, that Haihong was really ordered by someone, not a medical error?"

Zeng affirmed: "Yes. My father said that the person he confessed to is the most favored Yu Changzai today."

Sure enough, it was Yu Changzai!

Chen Wenxin hurriedly said: "But Yuchang was just a promise at that time, what method did she use to make an imperial physician willing to frame a young concubine with a pet and son for her?"

That was the time when Yipin was at her happiest. She had just given birth to her fifth elder brother, and quickly regained her former figure.

But what Yu Changzai can give, is there anything Yipin can't afford?
Zeng's expression was troubled, he hesitated to speak.

"Sister-in-law, let's just say it. This matter is very important. It's better to let the family know."

Chen Wenren also persuaded: "Just say it."

Zeng said anxiously: "It's not that I don't want to tell, it's that my father doesn't want to tell me. I don't know why."

It doesn't make sense, how can there be a Zeng's Tongchuan, and only half of it?

"Father said that this matter is no small matter, and it involves... the matter of the dirty palace..."

Zeng's voice came to the back, getting smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

But everyone still clearly heard the words "filthy palace".

This does not seem to say the reason, but in fact it is clearly stated.

Dirty palace, that is to say...

Yu Changzai has an affair with Haihong.

Yu Changzai just came from Mongolia, and Haihong is an imperial physician who has served in the palace for a long time.

It was impossible for the two of them to have any collusion before this.

Then there is only one possibility--
Yu Changzai seduced Haihong with her body color in order to harm Concubine Yi.
