Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 341
It was already noon when Yuliu returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, at this time, in the bedroom.

Shang Kelan was cooking a wintersweet by the window, and the room was extremely quiet.

"Dong dong!"

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, but Yuliu hurriedly came to Shang Kelan and knelt down, saying: "I want to report to the empress, I have something to report!"

After Shang Kelan brushed off the white snow on the wintersweet, he waved to the maidservants.

The palace maids immediately bowed and retreated, and closed the door behind them.

Shang Kelan turned around, looked down at Yuliu and said, "Get up and talk."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuliu stood up, handed the receipt hidden in her sleeve to Shang Kelan solemnly, and said: "Madam, when I was going to the Jiaosifang, I saw people from Ximeng Palace taking Chen Zhaoyi away. This receipt was found by the servant from Chen Zhaoyi's purse."

"Besides, this servant also inquired that the day before the Xianya Palace caught fire, Chen Zhaoyi's personal servant, calligraphy and painting, and a woman in a black cloak went to the imperial dining room to buy a lot of wine in private. Report it to the empress, and ask the empress to deal with it."

After patiently listening to Yu Liu, Shang Kelan narrowed her eyes, and then put away the receipt.

"I understand, you can step back."

Yuliu froze for a moment, she thought that Shang Kelan would be furious and afraid, and would give her an order to investigate thoroughly, but Shang Kelan was unexpectedly calm.

Seeing Yuliu standing still, Shang Kelan looked at her suspiciously and said, "Why don't you leave? Didn't I tell you to back down?"

Shang Kelan's temper was a little cloudy, Yuliu didn't dare to touch her brow, so she could only say: "Yes, empress."

It's just that she was about to leave the bedroom when she was suddenly pulled back.

Yuliu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look, and saw Shang Kelan holding her hand, handing her a white and soft handkerchief, and said, "There is cold sweat all over your forehead, don't take the risk of inquiring about too important news in the future, There are not many people around Bengong, and... thank you for saving Bengong's life last night."

Shang Kelan lowered her eyes and said with a calm expression. After handing her the handkerchief, she went back to the window and trimmed the wintersweet.

Yuliu involuntarily clenched the handkerchief tightly, but her heart trembled, as if someone had touched the soft spot in her heart.

Over the years, she has already gotten used to serving others, and no master has ever treated her as an equal like Shang Kelan.

No one has ever said thank you to herself, this is the first time Yuliu has heard someone say this to her.

Unexpectedly, Yuliu likes this feeling very much.

Her eyes were slightly warm, she bowed her head and saluted, "Thank you, master, for your concern."

This sentence of thanks is true, and this sentence of master is also true.

After Yuliu left, Shang Kelan put down her scissors and looked at the receipt in her hand with a cold expression.

She pinched the receipt with her fingertips a little too hard, and her flesh turned white.

"Zhao Kexi... Are you asking calligraphy and painting to buy wine just to burn Ben Gong to death in Xianya Palace?"

After she murmured in a low voice, the scene of Zhao Kexi swearing harshly at her earlier appeared again in her memory.

"You bitch, I will never let you go!"

The image of Zhao Kexi viciously speaking these words reappeared in Shang Kelan's mind. Immediately, her eyes darkened, and she put the receipt in her sleeve.

Just at this time, Fupu walked in respectfully.

"The slave sees the concubine Chen and tells the empress that the slave has already found out that the outside of the palace wall of the Xianya Palace was splashed with strong alcohol. Someone deliberately set the fire on fire. I don't know who blocked the mouths of the servants in the House of Internal Affairs. The General of the House of Internal Affairs The cause of the fire in the Xianya Palace was attributed to the servant girl who kept watch in the kitchen that night, and that maidservant had already been executed as a scapegoat."

After coming out of the Leng Palace, Fu Pu went to the House of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough investigation, only to delay some time, otherwise he would have returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the morning.

After listening to Fu Pu, Shang Kelan said: "There is no need to investigate, this matter is over."

Fupu was startled, and couldn't help raising his eyes to Shang Kelan: "Madam, why is this? Could it be that you already know the real murderer?"

As soon as the words fell, he felt a little talkative again.

The harem wants to put Shang Kelan to death, who else but Concubine Jia?
Fupu could see the conflict between the two of them. For a while, Fupu quickly lowered his head and said, "My lord, forgive me, it's the slave talking too much."

But Shang Kelan bent down to help him up, and said: "Director Fu, you don't have to be polite to me, you have helped me a lot, Zhizi and Zhiqiu will take care of you in Lenggong."

Fu Pu hesitated and said: "Mother, why don't you just send them out of the palace?"

"They... will come back."

Kelan knew Zhizi's character well, and Zhiqiu had no relatives or reason outside, and she was on good terms with Zhizi and herself, so it was absolutely impossible for her to leave the palace.

After Shang Kelan said these words indifferently, he said: "Your Majesty is going to the Imperial Study Room soon, you can go and make some arrangements, I don't need you to watch over here."

Seeing that Shang Kelan didn't want to say more, Fu Pu respectfully withdrew.

And the servants who served Shang Kelan in the bedroom were also sent out by her, and she continued to trim her wintersweet by the window, no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

……

Changle Palace.

Zhao Kexi didn't even have time to change his clothes, and when he returned to the bedroom, he threw the purse in his hand into the incense burner.

Seeing the censer burnt to ashes little by little, she was relieved, now it's all over, the only evidence that can connect her with Xianya Palace is gone.

Shu Hua followed in, looked at her worriedly and said, "My Lady, what's the matter with you?"

Zhao Kexi took her hand, stared at her tightly and said: "The purse contains the receipts that Ben Gong and you bought wine from the imperial dining room, if someone picks it up and exposes it, Ben Gong will definitely be tricked by Concubine Chen." dead!"

Hearing this, Calligraphy was startled, and subconsciously looked at the incense burner.

But then, Zhao Kexi shook her and asked: "How many people died in Xianya Palace last night? How is Concubine Chen injured?"

Calligraphy and painting did not dare to be negligent, and replied: "Madam, I heard that the concubine Chen went crazy to her majesty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation after witnessing the death of her personal servant girl last night. The empress was stimulated, she became demonic."

"Is it a demon? Is it true? Isn't she stupid?"

Zhao Kexi's eyes lit up, she said happily, then got up and said: "Go prepare hot water, I need to take a shower and change clothes, tomorrow I will go see if that Concubine Chen is crazy or not!"

Calligraphy bowed his head, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Yes, empress."

After the painting and calligraphy were dismissed, Zhao Kexi sat back in front of the dressing table and dressed herself quietly. The woman in the mirror looked more delicate and beautiful after a while.

……

The dynamics of the harem are different, such as the concubine Chen who is indifferent and difficult to understand, the concubine Jia who is cruel and merciless, and Chen Zhaoyi who thinks he is mantis catching cicadas. The situation here is changing, and there are completely two worlds with the unchanging Leng Palace.

The cold wind is bleak, Lenggong, Qingqiuyuan.

I don't know how long it has passed, when Zhizi opened her eyes and woke up, it was already afternoon.

"Zhiqiu, wake up!"

Seeing Zhiqiu lying beside her, she gently pushed Zhiqiu.

Zhiqiu opened his eyes in a daze, seeing that Zhizi was fine, he was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's great, Zhizi..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhizi said to her with a solemn expression: "Zhiqiu, do you have any money? I want to leave the palace!"
