Fast Time Travel: The Posture of the Female Supporting Counterattack

Chapter 76
"Queen Mother, I have something important to report."

Hongye's voice came from outside the door, Lan Xi glanced at Nanny Wen, and Nanny Wen knew how to open the door to let Hongye in.

"What do you have to report?" Lan Xi half-lyed on the couch, picked up a booklet without lifting her eyelids, Hongye took a look at Lan Xi, perhaps because she was in the palace, the queen mother was a little less fierce, A little more laziness.

But looking at it still makes people feel weak all over, Hongye took a deep breath, bowed her head and knelt down, "Queen Dowager, these slaves have been following Lord Bai to investigate the case, and found... discovered something strange in the emperor's palace..."

"What did you say? There is something different in the emperor's palace?" Lan Xi put down the memorial in her hand, and looked at Hongye with a half-smile, "Do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"I don't dare. I have only one belief in surviving. I want to avenge my father and my brother. The Queen Mother is the benefactor who saved me from fire and water. I firmly believe that only the Queen Mother can make the decision for me." After Hongye finished speaking, he gave Lan Xi a thump. Kowtowed a few times.

"Forget it, just raise your head and tell me what's unusual in the emperor's palace."

Hongye raised her head, and Lan Xi's eyes flashed with surprise. The white jade porcelain bottle she threw to Hongye contained the best medicine for wounds.
Although the wound on Hongye's face has healed, the welt marks on the right cheek and the bruise on the forehead are probably hard to get rid of. Besides chastity, isn't the face the most important thing for ancient women?
"Report to the Empress Dowager, the slaves have found my mother's trace in the emperor's palace."

"Hongye, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nanny Wen looked at Lan Xi in shock.

"Nanny Wen, in addition to the two Jieyu, there are many palace maids and eunuchs in the emperor's palace. Why are you panicking?" Lan Xi motioned to Hongye to continue.

"When I followed Lord Bai to investigate the case, I smelled a fragrance in the emperor's palace. It was very faint. I knew it was definitely my mother. Before the fire, I also smelled it a few times when I was cleaning my father's study. This scent is very unique, even if it is so faint that I can't smell it, I still have a way to know it."

"What do you mean, you don't know the current identity of your so-called mother, but you want me to believe you just because of a scent. If you were me, would you believe me?" Lan Xi asked.

"Your Majesty, this slave reacts to this fragrance." Hongye opened her clothes to reveal the skin on her waist, which was covered with dense red dots. "When I was a child, my mother was extremely disgusted with me because every time she touched me , This thing will appear on my body, and several times I have become seriously ill for no reason, and it took me a long time to recover."

"Queen, this... this..."

Lan Xi waved her hand to signal Nanny Wen not to ask, the red spots on Hongye's body were symptoms of allergies, and the fire case became more and more interesting as it progressed.

She asked Hongye to follow Mr. Bai to investigate the case, and she didn't have much hope that Hongye could find out something. Unexpectedly, the allergic symptoms led to a big rat.

If Li Hongye's mother is really hiding in the emperor's palace, there must be a force behind it. Otherwise, what are these people doing coveting officials' files?
Following this logical reasoning, if Li Hongye's mother is the mastermind of the fire case, then is she the real first female emperor in the history of Dafeng a few years or even ten years later?
The task of beheading, side task [-], killing the heroine, is officially started now?
"Nurse Wen, let Hongye stay with you on night duty in the future. Don't let anyone know what happened today, especially Hongye's symptoms."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

then.

In the afternoon of that day, Lan Xi took Nanny Wen straight to the emperor's palace, calling it a visit to her two daughters-in-law.

When Sun Jieyu and Gao Jieyu heard Xiao Xiangzi's voice, their faces turned pale with fright. The Empress Dowager always ignored the harem and did not let them go to Qifeng Palace to pay their respects sooner or later. Why did they come here suddenly today?Before they had time to think about it, the two hurriedly arranged their appearances and went to the yard to kneel down to welcome the arrival of the Queen Mother.

"The concubine pays her respects to the Queen Mother."

"The concubine pays her respects to the Queen Mother."

"Get up." Lan Xi had a rare smile on her face.

"Thank you, Empress."

"Thank you, Empress."

"I'm here today to tell you two things."

Sun Jieyu and Gao Jieyu didn't dare to look up at Lan Xi when they got up.

"The Empress Dowager ordered that the concubine must do her best."

"The Empress Dowager ordered that the concubine must do her best."

Are these two repeaters?It's boring, Lan Xi thought in her heart, still keeping a smile on her face, "You two accompany me to the Royal Garden for a walk."

"It's the Queen Mother."

"Follow the Queen Mother's orders."

This time it finally didn't say the same thing. Sun Jieyu and Gao Jieyu followed behind the queen mother cautiously, not daring to let out a breath, and finally followed the queen mother around the imperial garden, and then went to the gazebo Sitting down, my heart is still up and down.

Only at this time did Lan Xi see clearly, the looks of Sun Jieyu and Gao Jieyu, is there something wrong with the emperor's...aesthetics?

It was completely different from other concubines in the imperial palace who were fat, ring, and thin, but Zhou Zheng, who had long facial features, was just put together, no matter how you looked at it, it was unremarkable.

Forget it, she can't care about who the emperor likes and doesn't want to care. Yan Jue's current situation is much better than those emperors who only rely on their lower body to think.

"Sun Jieyu, you are the eldest lady at the head of the imperial hospital, so you must have dabbled in medical skills." Lan Xi took a sip of tea and said lazily.

"Queen Mother, my concubines only know superficial skills." Sun Jieyu replied nervously.

"Gao Jieyu, your father is Gao Chi, the servant of the household department. I think Gao Jieyu should have no problem in settling accounts."

Gao Jieyu didn't understand why the Empress Dowager asked such a question, "There is still no problem with concubines in general account books."

"That's good." Lan Xi nodded, "My palace is usually busy with official duties, so I neglected the affairs of the harem, which caused the palace people to be bold and break the law. After thinking about it, you two have been in the palace for many years, and there is no one else around the emperor. It should be Learn to manage the affairs of the harem."

"Queen Mother, you are too serious, and my concubine will never dare."

Their rank is no more than a little Jieyu, how dare they interfere in the affairs of the harem, Sun Jieyu and Gao Jieyu were already restless, now hearing Lan Xi say this, they don't know what Lan Xi sells in the gourd Taking medicine, I felt even more uneasy.

Lan Xi ignored the two and continued:
"Although the disaster in Jiangnan and Jiangbei has eased this time, the imperial court has huge expenditures and the treasury is empty. This palace has decided to reduce the expenditure of the harem. The palace ladies will be reduced by half, and the remaining people will be reduced by [-]%. You two will start with this matter first. Let's start learning."

"This this……"

"Why, you two don't want to share my worries?" Lan Xi's voice turned cold, and Sun Jieyu and Gao Jieyu quickly agreed.
