The emperor was annoyed by the folding of many counsellors Li Rusu. He scolded several officials and said that he didn't take the initiative in political affairs. Instead, he took charge of the affairs of female officials in the back palace, asked them to take care of their children, and finally left.

The courtiers were naturally unconvinced by his blatant maintenance of Li Rusu, but it was not good to go up against the danger of Long Yan's anger. It was a lot cleaner for a time.

A large part of these people are imperial concubines. The two palace ladies in her palace are arrogant and used to it. They don't even pay much attention to Banxia. They are extremely mean to the little palace ladies on weekdays, and they are punished by Li Rushu to the clothes washing Bureau. If the chief eunuch hadn't been smart and shrunk his neck for a few days, he couldn't get rid of the fate of brushing the toilet bucket.

The people in charge of the house of internal affairs now in Luli soon assigned the new palace maids to each palace. Even if the concubines wanted to do something secretly, they didn't dare to be too conspicuous for a moment. After all, they couldn't trust the new people. In this way, there was a lot of peace in the palace.

At first, the queen didn't like her. Later, Li Rushu came to report the situation of each palace to her every afternoon. She looked respectful and sounded indifferent. She was a little happy. No matter how favored the other party was in front of the emperor, she still knew to keep her duty, take her as the first master of the harem, and gradually rewarded some jewelry, which meant to win her over.

Li Rushu's courtship to the queen is still calm, neither flattering nor refusing. Instead, she seems to know the current affairs and gradually master the complex relations of the harem. She handles trivial things more easily. After she relaxes, there are many more supporters around her.

As the first maid of honor, she not only earned more salaries than others, but also had a higher degree of application around her. There was an independent small kitchen in the yard. On that day, she came back from the outside. Just lying on the soft couch under the window for a rest, she saw a strange figure coming out of the kitchen.

She looked carefully and thought of the person who seemed to be newly added to the imperial concubine's palace. A trace of surprise flashed in her heart. Then she asked cuiguo to check in the kitchen. Sure enough, she found a little poisoned in her heart. She watched the silver needle slowly turn black and her face turned black.

"Master, the imperial concubine, she..."

Cui Guo looked shocked and asked someone to poison the female official in broad daylight. She dared to do such a arrogant thing.

Seeing Li Rushu's gloomy face without talking, she said tentatively, "do you want to tell the queen and ask her to give you justice?"

Although her arrival offended the Banxia aunt around the queen, later people can see that she was just and right. In addition, she dealt with the close maid of the imperial concubine with an iron fist, so the queen didn't care about a small matter. If the imperial concubine poisoned her, she will definitely deal with it.

But Li Rusu doesn't think so. A new maid in waiting is not enough to get the new appointment of the imperial concubine. Since the imperial concubine sent her, she is mostly determined to push the scapegoat out to stop the crime, so it's better to find the Lord directly.

"Cuiguo, come here."

Li Rusu thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, waved to her and said a few words in his ear.

Cui Guo nodded as she listened. Finally, a smile appeared on her face, clapped her hands and said, "Lord, you are smart. You should let your imperial concubine taste it."

The next morning, news came from the imperial concubine's palace that she suddenly had abdominal pain in the middle of the night. She went to the imperial hospital to find the imperial doctor all night. She struggled for half a night to stop the pain, but she ran to the toilet several times. In the morning, she was weak and couldn't straighten up.

When she heard the news, Xiaohua was fetching water for Li Rusu to wash her face. She was so happy that she almost spilled the basin and said with a smile, "you deserve it. This is called lifting a stone and hitting your own feet."

The imperial concubine realized that she had been hurt by Li Rusu that night. Her imperial doctor said it was laxative and added overnight small mushrooms to the meal. When she heard the news, she patted it on the table and said angrily, "what a Li Rujing, you have put it in the palace. Sooner or later, you will regret it!"

She gave the laxative. It was hard to explain it clearly. The imperial concubine was dumb and called Lu Ming into the palace the next day to complain.

After hearing the summons, Lu Ming entered the palace. As soon as he asked for peace, he got up and saw the mother's face pale and eyes congested. For a moment, he was a little flustered, "mother, have you been ill recently? You look so bad. Why did you summon your son? "

As soon as the imperial concubine saw it, her nose was sour and her eyes overflowed with tears. She told Li Rusu what she had done to herself. Finally, she wiped her tears and cried: "Li Rujing, she is too arrogant to bully the mother imperial concubine..."

Lu Ming didn't enter the back palace for a few days. He only knew that Li Ru was a female official. He also vaguely heard that her mother imperial concubine had been punished by her in the palace. Seeing that her mother imperial concubine had been drugged by her, he got up on the spot to settle accounts with her.

"Ming er." As soon as the imperial concubine saw him, she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "now she is in the limelight. Your father and Emperor are partial to her. Before, the imperial concubine also asked your uncle. They spoke up, but they were blocked back by your father and Emperor. You can't touch the bad luck at this time."

Although she was angry, she still paid great attention to her son's future. Especially when she heard that her mother's brother was scolded by the emperor, she dared not let her son take risks. Today, she summoned him just to complain. Now there are no capable people around. If she doesn't invite people to talk, she's afraid she will go crazy.

The mother and son said nothing to each other. After a long time, Lu Ming looked sinister in his eyes and said, "I think Li Rujing turned into a woman after returning from Edo and became a female official in the palace. My son always felt something wrong."

"What?" The imperial concubine had stopped crying and stared at him.

Lu Mingzhang opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly shut up. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Finally he sighed and said, "it's nothing. You'll have a rest first, madam, and your son will see you another day." Then he got up and left. Seeing that he wanted to talk and stop, the imperial concubine thought her son had something serious to do, so she didn't keep him.

As soon as he left the gate of his mother's imperial concubine's courtyard and walked to the palace gate from a green stone road, he happened to meet Li Rusu from the house of internal affairs. As soon as their eyes met, lightning and flint appeared between them.

"See your highness." Li Rusu's eyes drooped and blessed his body slightly. He said a word and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, looked at her carefully and said, "Li Rujing, the king has never believed in witchcraft. You can't fool my father and Emperor. Have you always been a woman?"

He has always doubted about this matter, only because Edo is too far away and his people can't inquire about it. Otherwise, he would have asked people to inquire about Li Rusu. Now in front of the other party, he has sharp eyes and directly asks his doubts.
