Chapter 85
(Thanks to the book friend "Mian Zun" for the reward, and thanks to the book friends for voting! Thank you!!)
On May 24th in the [-]th year of Tai'an, this was the second day of the garrison outside the palace.

Although the soldiers of the capital did not do anything out of the ordinary, the official letter from the governor's yamen made everyone in the palace panic and uneasy.

The governor's yamen demanded that everyone in Yongwang's mansion should not leave the palace area except for necessary internal and external access.

The so-called necessary entry and exit are defined by the officials of the governor's office, and they specially arrange for officials to guard outside the gates of the palace.

It is not easy for local officials to intervene in the palace, but outside the palace, their power is not so great.

Under such circumstances, without Zhao Yanxun as the backbone, the panic in the palace can be imagined.

Fortunately, the officials of the Chief History Department of the Palace are still there, and they have maintained the basic operation of the Palace, which made the three hostesses of the Palace a little more at ease.

But in the early morning of No. 18, the two chief historians of the palace were taken away by the governor's yamen.

The two of Zhou Chengping could not have gone, the guards of the palace would not let the officials break into the palace to arrest people.

In fact, since the Zhao Qianchuan incident, the officials of all the yamen have taken it as a warning, and they will never take the initiative to break into the palace to make themselves uncomfortable.

However, the two chief ministers were willing to go to the governor's office, and they wanted to ask why the government targeted the Wangfu so much.

As soon as the two of them left, the officials of the palace could still remain calm, but the servants and entourage below exploded.

Prince Yong's Mansion has only been in Yuanyang for less than two months, and this is the second time such a serious accident has occurred, and everyone is worried whether the Palace is going to be ruined.

Among other things, even the slaves in Xue Baoyun's palace are discussing the current situation in private, and their attitude is extremely pessimistic.

"The last time the officials broke into the palace, it is said that it was because our palace wanted to rebel... Do you think the prince really wants to rebel?"

"Who knows, anyway, if the palace really falls into the name of rebellion, you and I will definitely not end well..."

"It is said that the artisans brought by the capital are constantly making weapons and armor. I think the rebellion is probably true!"

"The prince has not been at the mansion these two days, do you think he has escaped? The old man just left, but it will be hard for us slaves!"

The two maids were discussing in a low voice in the room, but they didn't know that someone outside was listening.

Huang Rongrong's expression was extremely ugly. The house was already chaotic enough, but there were still these gossiping servants making trouble.

"Talky slaves, drag them out!" Huang Rongrong scolded angrily, it was rare to see him like this.

After she gave the order, the four accompanying eunuchs directly opened the door, entered the room and brought out the two maids inside.

The two people who were discussing just now were scared out of their wits at this moment, and when they saw Huang Rongrong, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The maidservant kowtowed to see the empress!"

Huang Rongrong was furious, and asked in a stern tone: "What were you talking about just now? Do you know what crime should be for slandering the prince?"

Of course the two people on the ground knew that they must be drunk, so they kept kowtowing to Huang Rongrong, shouting "Ma'am, please forgive me".

"Slap your mouth!" Although she couldn't bear it, Huang Rongrong gave the order coldly.

Her personal maid, Lan'er, lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, they are from Wangfei's palace, let them be handed over to Wangfei!"

Huang Rongrong turned her head, and immediately said: "Why, I didn't even teach the two servant girls? These two servant girls slandered the prince, they must not be spared, slap!"

Lan'er couldn't persuade her, so she could only back off with a wry smile. Several eunuchs immediately held down the two maids in Xue Baoyun's palace, raised their hands and slapped them across the face.

In the other section of the corridor of the palace, Lin Jingyu led a group of maids and eunuchs to the gate of Yongfu Palace, when she heard a commotion.

Speeding up her pace, Lin Jingyu suddenly saw that Huang Rongrong and her men were teaching the servants of Yongfu Palace.

This made Lin Jingyu's eyes dark, and this little girl didn't have to worry about it, the key is not to look at what time it is.

"stop!"

Lin Jingyu scolded, and the eunuch who slapped his mouth stopped, while Huang Rongrong turned his gaze outside.

"Rongrong, what are you doing? Do you know where this is?" Lin Jingyu taught.

"Sister Lin, these servants slandered the prince, so I asked them to teach them a lesson!"

"They are slaves in the princess's palace, and if they want to be taught a lesson, the princess should be taught a lesson!" Lin Jingyu said with a straight face.

"I'm just so angry. If the princess thinks that I've overstepped the rules, then let the princess teach me... But I will never spare this servant who slandered the prince!"

Speaking of this, Huang Rongrong ordered again: "Keep fighting!"

In the main hall of Yongfu Palace, Xue Baojun was sitting on the seats, with Lin Quan and Huo An kneeling in front of them.

"Where did the prince go, you two tell me honestly!" Xue Baoyun's tone was stern, and the majesty of the princess made Lin Quan tremble with fear.

"Report to the princess, the prince is out hunting!" Lin Quan replied with his head down.

Who would have thought that at this time, Xue Baoyun sneered and said: "It seems that you all think that the concubine of this Palace is easy to deceive, right?"

Even though Lin Quan and Lin Quan were Zhao Yanxun's confidant eunuchs, they were all frightened and disturbed by Xue Baoyun's description at this moment.

"Your Majesty, slaves will never dare to lie!" Lin Quan kowtowed.

There was silence in the hall for a while, just as Lin Quan and the two were about to bear the wrath of the princess, they heard Xue Baoyun say: "Now the palace is in an emergency, you may have something to hide, but for the survival of the palace... I hope you tell the truth !"

"If the prince punishes you two for this, I will do my best to protect you!"

If the concubine punished them directly, Lin Quan and the others could still grit their teeth and insist, but when Xue Baoyun said so, they were forced to have nowhere to go.

After another period of silence, Xue Baoyun said: "Huo An, tell me... where did the prince go!"

Huo An is a real person, Xue Baoyun is very aware of this, so she puts her hope on Huo An.

"All of this is for the palace, for the prince...to tell the truth!" Xue Baoyun said with a stern look.

"Reporting to the princess, the prince took people out of the city to Hejiazhuang!"

Finally hearing the truth, Xue Baojun quickly asked, "What are you going to Hejiazhuang for?"

"A monster broke out over there, and the prince took people to deal with it!" Huo An replied honestly.

But at this moment, Xue Baoyun frowned. Could it be that the palace is now under siege, has something to do with this matter?
At this moment, Yu Zhu, Xue Baojun's personal maid, came in with an unusually dignified expression.

She walked up to Xue Baojun, then leaned down and said in a low voice: "My Lady, according to your invitation, Lady Yu and Lady Rong are here, but..."

"Just what?" Xue Baoyun turned his head and asked.

"There are two lowly servant girls in our palace who are chewing their tongues. After being discovered by Empress Rong, she slapped her mouth. Empress, how do you deal with this matter!" Yuzhu said under his head.

A side concubine beat the maid in the main concubine's palace. Even if the maid did make a mistake, the matter would not be so simple.

"How to deal with it? How else can I deal with it? Break the hands and feet of these two lowly servant girls and drive them out of the palace!" Xue Baoyun said with a cold expression.

All the maids and eunuchs serving in the room trembled, and only then did they truly see how cruel the princess they were serving was.

"Yes!" Yuzhu nodded, not feeling sorry for the two maidservants, who made them talk nonsense.

The most important thing for Xue Baoyun now is to keep the palace safe from chaos, and these two maidservants bumped into the knife's edge by themselves.

"Go and invite the two of them in. Now that the palace is full of gossip, it's time for our sisters to work together to tide over the difficulties!"

Yu Zhu went out to spread the word, while Xue Baojun raised the teacup.

Glancing at Lin Quan and Lin Quan who were still kneeling on the ground, Xue Baoyun said casually: "Get back, don't forget to send someone out to find the prince back to the mansion!"

"As ordered!"
