Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

After taking a nap, Mother Yun came to report: "Manny, Wansu's family has come in, would you like to meet?"

Li Wei thought about it carefully, and said, "I'm gone, you can meet me for me. Let Qingxiang reward her family with the pile of things that last night. After all, she did nothing for me and hard work. I will set aside a hundred taels of silver to buy a board. A set of newly made clothes is enshrined."

Mother Yun agreed and went.

These messes upset Li Wei. Now that she has so many people under her, she doesn't need to worry about everything. As long as you speak, there will naturally be someone to do things.

Her focus was placed on the large stack of notes sent by Luo Chong, and if she wanted to find some clues, she might be able to open up the whole situation.

The first person to be recorded was Lan Hui, who was in the same room as Wan Su. Li Wei watched it carefully. There was nothing special in Lan Hui's words. The second record is the spring beauty in the sewing room. This Chunrong entered the palace only last year. He was only fifteen years old when he entered the palace. He looked ordinary, but his hands were very dexterous and he could pierce many tricks, so he entered the needle and thread bureau.

Wan Su is kind to Chun Rong, and Chun Rong later gave Wan Su a dress to thank her. Wan Su also showed her the dress. It is indeed a good craftsmanship. After she moved into Chongqing Palace, Chun Rong also became the girl in the needle and thread room of Chongqing Palace, with much less work.

Chunrong's rhetoric was full of sorrow and panic. He didn't accept Wan Su's death, and he didn't understand why Wan Su did it.

Li Wei had already turned over Chun Rong's confession, Xindao found a suitable time to call Chun Rong to ask.

After looking at it for a while, I felt tired, so Qingxiang found a box, and she put all these confessions and locked it. After getting used to going to bed early, the schedule of work and rest is gradually adjusted. It's not like it is difficult to fall asleep during the first few days after coming back. After all, this body is his own, and it is easy to adapt.

She lay down, and when people saw her sleeping, they all walked out. Li Wei pulled the quilt and closed his eyes, ready to go to bed. Not knowing how long she slept, she woke up feeling thirsty.

When I was about to call someone, I heard the servants who were watching the night muttering something not far from the window, Li Wei frowned and said that these people are becoming more and more irregular. She stopped calling, got out of bed by herself, went to the window and listened carefully.

But it was Lan Hui's voice: "These words can also be said nonsense. You must make your mother angry when you hear them. You should also be smart and find out who made these words."

The other voice should be Xiangxiu's, and the little girl could only hear her saying: "It's all because Sister Wansu couldn't think about her own death, and the mother didn't persecute her. Why did she become the mother's sin."

It turned out to be for this. Regarding the death of Wan Su, it is said to the outside that she was sacrificed for the burial of the first emperor, but people who had been in friendship with Wan Su in the past might not believe it, and naturally they would say everything in private. If even these people in the palace are not well controlled, how can she manage more people.

Li Wei coughed. The people serving outside were so scared that they didn't even dare to make a sound. Li Wei called out, "Lan Hui, come in!"

Na Lan Hui was so frightened that she secretly twisted the two little palace ladies who were passing on a small talk, and tremblingly agreed, "Yes, mother."

There was not even a candle in the room, and it was dark. Lan Hui lit an oil lamp, uncovered the curtain and walked in. Li Weipi was sitting on the edge of the bed with loose hair, wearing a piece of clothing.

"Niang, what do you want?" Lan Hui asked cautiously.

"Tomorrow morning you go and gather these **** ladies from the Chongqing Palace, and tell them the rules of the palace. You can repeat it to them about how to deal with it."

Lan Hui knelt down and begged: "The empress will calm down her anger."

Li Wei sullenly said: "If I can't manage even these people in my own palace, I still care about the sixth house. If I hear nonsense, I will wait on the palace."

"Yes."

Li Wei told her to go down, she didn't want anyone to spread it indiscriminately, and then be used to make an article.

With things on hand, life will not be so difficult. She did not take a nap that day, and was studying the transcripts in the study. Lan Hui reported outside: "Niang Niang, Madam comes in to see you."

Today is not the day to enter the palace, and I didn't make an appointment before. Why did you come suddenly? Li Wei vaguely knew what was going on, so she asked the palace maid to bring her mother to the study.

When the mother and daughter met, Fu did not bow to her daughter this time. But seeing her full of anger, Li Wei had to be careful. He took the tea personally and waited carefully.

Fu Shi took the tea bowl, his face still as gray as the bottom of the pot. Li Wei and the people who served in front of him held back and let them wait in the corridor over there.

After the irrelevant person left, Li Wei accompanied him and asked carefully: "Mother, are you here for the sixth brother?"

Fu said dumbly, "Do you still know you have a sixth brother?"

Li Wei lowered his head and said, "Sixth brother has always had the best friendship with me, and he was born to the same mother as me. How can I not know."

Fu sneered: "Do you remember that he was raised by me, your brother, then I ask you, why did you let him go to Yunnan. He has a temperament and wants to follow the fool, so do you fool with him? You're still young and ignorant, aren't you? You are all a queen mother, so why don't you think more of your family."

Faced with his mother's accusation, Li Wei didn't say anything, no matter what the elders said, even if it was ugly, just listen, and don't have to go back. This is her upbringing since she was a child.

Fu cried Li Wei once and was even more annoyed when Li Wei did not speak: "You speak, dumb you?"

"The matter has been decided, what else did my mother ask me to say."

"What? He hasn't left Beijing yet. You have to use your power to force him to stay. He really doesn't want to stay in Beijing. Then go to a place close. Go to Shanxi. Go further. Shandong is also okay. Anyway, I don’t agree with him where he goes to Yunnan."

Before, the sixth brother went to Shandong because of her persistence. Now she regrets it, and at the same time, she doesn't want the sixth brother to be embarrassed.

"Mother, you have fulfilled the sixth brother's wish. He has been outside for a few years, wouldn't it be better to wait until he is stable in the future? Wouldn't it be better for him to come back?

"Who, who will move to our house, who live so impatiently."

Fu's momentum is somewhat arrogant and domineering. Li Wei was startled. Is the woman in front of her still the cowardly and timid mother she remembered, or the mother who was Zhan for the aunt? Just because she was the queen mother, she became unscrupulous. How much change had taken place in the mother's mentality, she hadn't noticed before.
