The Harem's Favorite Maid Raiders

Chapter 9 The Dead Corpse in the Queen Mother's Palace

The next day.

Han Yumin waited anxiously for Jiang Meng in the Qian'an Hall, but she was afraid that someone would see through her mind, so she picked up a broom and swept the ground, only to see the maids who kept vigil yesterday running over, although no one asked her, But she clearly read something from the maid's eyes.

At this moment, a court lady she had never seen before ran in with a pale face, crying in panic, "In the Empress Dowager's palace...in the well in the Empress Dowager's palace..."

After hearing this, Han Yumin hurried over and saw that her eyes were erratic, she was panting slightly, her chest was heaving and falling, her lips were white from the biting of her teeth, she was obviously frightened.So she shook the woman's shoulder, beckoning her not to be afraid, and then asked, "What's going on in the well?"

"Sister Yumin, go over and have a look, the emperor hasn't come down yet, everyone is very worried about such a big incident."

"What happened?" Han Yumin asked.In fact, she didn't know where this little maid came from, but seeing her so frightened, Han Yumin had no choice but to comfort her, "The Empress Dowager's Palace is not far from here, don't be afraid, I'll go and have a look."

Han Yumin thought to himself, this time, maybe he can visit Sister Lin Yan by the way. Since Sister Lin Yan went to the Empress Dowager's Plum Palace, they haven't seen each other again. After so many days, Han Yu also misses her very much.

When she came to the backyard of the Empress Dowager Cunmei Palace, Han Yumin saw that there was no one there, but the huge Cunmei Palace was empty and there was no sound. She felt strange and a little scared, but she didn't dare disturb the Queen Mother Zhao, so she went Walking lightly to the backyard, after finding the well, she silently recited "Amitabha" in her heart, then lowered her head and looked inside.

Wu Huier greeted Queen Mother Zhao in the hall, and said, "Han Yumin must have come by now."

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded and said, "Are you sure the reason why the emperor didn't come back to accompany you last night was because of Han Yumin?"

Although the Empress Dowager Zhao is old and fading, she is in her forties, but she still has her charm.As she asked, she picked up a string of Buddhist beads and held them in her hands. Although she didn't wear makeup, she had a pink complexion. Large peonies were embroidered on the brown brocade robe, and the delicate outline was outlined with thin silver threads, which was elegant and luxurious.

Before Wu Hui'er could answer, she saw Qiu Yan, the maid beside her, rushed to say: "Last night, someone saw with his own eyes that the emperor took a court lady away, and it was by the small river."

"Don't talk too much!" Wu Hui'er taught, "I don't allow you to talk about the emperor's affairs!"

Queen Mother Zhao raised the corners of her eyes, glanced at Qiu Yan, and said calmly: "It's okay, let her continue."

I just heard Qiuyan Fu Yifu's body, and said word by word: "I don't know who the emperor dragged to Qian'an Hall, but at midnight, Hu Yi, the personal eunuch of your concubine, saw that she was waiting anxiously, so he ran away." When I went out to look for it, I saw the emperor came out of the sleeping hall, Hu Yi saw that there was still light in the hall, so he ran over to have a look, Queen Mother, who do you think she saw staying in the hall? It is clearly the disheveled Han Yumin."

When the Queen Mother Zhao heard this, her eyes widened in anger, she patted the table and said, "This emperor, the bigger he is, the more nonsense he is!" As he was speaking, he thought again and asked, "Who is Han Yumin? Why has the Ai family never heard of it?" Pass?"

"I haven't seen this maidservant either, and I heard that it was the Qian'an Temple that came to the palace some time ago, and no one knows." Qiu Yan recalled, "By the way, I heard that a few days ago, Han Yu and Lin Yan from Yeting committed a crime. Wrong, he was executed, I saw Lin Yan being taken away with my own eyes."

Empress Dowager Zhao said angrily: "The Ai family doesn't even know about these things in the harem."

While discussing, only a scream came from the backyard.

The Queen Mother Zhao gathered herself together, stood up, motioned for Wu Huier to support her, and walked out of the palace gate unhurriedly to the backyard.

Sitting by the well was a palace lady whose face turned pale with fright. The maid was wearing a blue palace dress, a simple hanging bun, and a jadeite jade hairpin. This jade was particularly dazzling in the plain attire.When she saw the Queen Mother coming, she raised her head tremblingly, and saw that her skin was like fat, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her eyes were as pure as water, like a fairy descending from the earth, she was as unworldly as a fairy.

It was also the first time for Han Yumin to take a closer look at Wu Huier. Wu Huier was wearing a dark red palace gown. She was not a queen, so she couldn't wear red. She also frowned slightly, with the corners of her eyebrows raised, and her eyes were determined. , or between the eyes, there is a stubbornness and ruthlessness.

Queen Mother Zhao scolded: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"The servant girl is Han Yumin, the palace maid of Qian'an Palace. Just now, I heard a maid say that there is something terrible in the well in the Empress Dowager's palace. The servant girl saw that she was really frightened, and thought that the emperor was still in court, so she ran over to have a look. Take a look, if there is anything, report it to the emperor immediately." Han Yumin knelt in front of Wu Huier, shaking slightly with fright, but tried her best to calm down.

"Report to the emperor? What do you do as the palace and the queen mother?" Wu Huier scolded, thinking that the speed of doing things was really fast, and she coaxed this Han Yumin here in a while, but this Han Yumin seemed to be Much more than usual, with no scheming, yet able to snatch the emperor away from her, he wished he could kill her right away.

"I hope the queen mother and your concubine will make amends. I know I'm wrong." Han Yumin was so frightened by the things in the well that he was at a loss. He looked at the queen mother Zhao, then at Wu Hui'er, and cried, "But the queen mother, There are real people in this well, there are real people!"

Wu Hui'er didn't believe it, so she gave Han Yumin a hard look, raised her head, looked at her with lowered eyebrows, and said, "I'll go and have a look." After speaking, she walked to the well and looked down.

With a scream, Wu Hui'er fell to the ground, her face turning pale.She wanted Zhenzhen to use this method to call Han Yumin, but who would have thought that there was really someone in the well, who seemed to have been dead for many days and was about to float up.

She was frightened, and smelled the smell of rotting corpses in the well, so she couldn't help running aside, retching.

The Queen Mother was much calmer. She covered her nose and walked to the well, lowered her head to take a look, and all the eunuchs and guards were left to find a way to fish up the corpse. Han Yumin didn't dare to go forward. Kneeling on the ground with eyes closed, heart pounding, I wanted to see my good sister Lin Yan today, but not only did Lin Yan not see her, but the queen mother and Wu Huier scolded her.

After Jiang Meng came down to court, he went straight to Qian'an Hall with a smile. He still remembered that Han Yumin told himself last night that he was waiting for him in Qian'an Hall, so he hurried forward without saying anything.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor just got married yesterday, so why did he go straight to Qian'an Palace today? Aren't you going to accompany your concubine?" An Huai followed behind Jiang Meng.

Jiang Meng glanced at An Huai impatiently, and said, "I don't like her at all, why should I accompany her?" After speaking, he continued to walk forward.

When he came to Qian'an Hall, he couldn't see Han Yumin. Jiang Meng searched for a long time but couldn't find it. In desperation, he grabbed the maid cleaning the table and asked, "Where did Han Yumin go?"

The court lady applied to be evasive, but she still said to Jiang Meng: "Sister Yumin heard from her real sister that there was something terrible in the well in the Empress Dowager's palace. Seeing that her real sister was terrified, she went to see it alone. .”

Jiang Meng couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and asked again: "Where did that really go?"

The maid said: "Sister Zhen said that she saw dirty things and was scared, so she went back to rest."

Jiang Meng waved to the maid and said, "Go away." Looking at An Huai beside him, he said, "This is bad!"

After Jiang Meng finished speaking, he hurried to the Empress Dowager's Palace. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager's Palace was not far from Qian'an Palace. After a while, Jiang Meng came to the back garden of the Empress Dowager's Palace.

Before he got to the well, Jiang Meng saw everyone gathered around the well, and Han Yumin knelt on the ground and trembled pitifully. Next to the well lay the corpse of a palace maid who had already turned white. The clothes on her body were Only the maids of Ye Ting wore purple, the face of the deceased could not be seen clearly, only a worthless copper coin bracelet was worn on the wrist.

Beside the corpse was Han Yumin, who was too frightened to speak, and covered her mouth with her hands in shock. ·
