After rebirth, I made the princes cry

When He walked, his knees shook.

She was not frightened when she learned that Zi Jiang knelt down and begged for a memorial. After all, she had conclusive evidence that Zi Tai had committed adultery with the cook. If such a thing happened, let alone a palace maid, even the cook would be lynched. Execution is a "tacit agreement" between the chief executive and the food supervisor.

The palace maids are nominally the emperor's concubines. Unless the imperial decree permits pardon, they cannot have physical intimacy with men other than the monarch. However, the vast majority of palace maids are not lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, and even pardon is rare. Opportunities, but people are not ruthless. Many palace ladies cannot bear the loneliness of the palace, and some bold ones will seek solace secretly.

Even palace ladies who are banned from the inner court can only have contact with eunuchs, eunuchs and other nunnery people in most cases. Although there is no chance of sexual immorality, the consideration and care from men can be considered a kind of spiritual comfort. , Therefore, among the palace ladies, there are actually many secretly jealous and jealousy for the friendship of a certain eunuch or eunuch.

In addition to the nunnery, there are also able-bodied men in the imperial city such as palace guards, imperial chefs, imperial doctors, etc.

Guanglu Temple is an official office responsible for providing food and drinks to the emperor, concubines, etc. Of course, it is impossible for officials of all sizes in Guanglu Temple to purify themselves. The cooks and waiters in each department cannot enter the inner court, and there is no need to purify themselves. Compared with cooks who return home when they are off duty, cooks are mostly young men. Because their duties are more complicated and they have to learn cooking, they usually live in Taicheng. Cooks are generally twenty years old. If they are not promoted, they will be deported. These hot-blooded young men have a lot of contact with the young palace maids who belong to Guanglu Temple, and it is easy for them to fall in love. If there are bold ones, if they cannot suppress their lust, they will inevitably fall into the trap of complacency. thing.

This is of course not allowed.

However, in order to avoid the responsibility of poor supervision, the kitchen supervisors and supervisors of various departments in Guanglu Temple, the other kitchen servants and palace maids were also afraid of being held responsible for covering up, and even caused chaos by exposing each other. Therefore, although there are palace regulations and national laws, , everyone has actually formed a secret pact. If the boss discovers the ugly behavior of adultery, he will be executed secretly, and no one can announce it.

Even if the concubine knew about this, no one would come up with it just to cause trouble for His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, when Zijiang first claimed that he had a secret affair and wanted to tell Madam Xie to her, Madam Xie was hesitant, guessing that it might be related to obscenity and ugliness. Such matters would naturally be dealt with by the female official in charge, and it would be useless to go to the palace to ask.

Zhangzhi He never expected that Zijiang would be so bold, that he would expose such a big thing in revenge for her private execution of Zimo! ! ! No matter what the outcome of this matter was, what Zhangzhi He was sure of was that her life might not be saved.

"Let me ask you, when did you learn about Zi Tai's affair with the kitchen waiter?" Concubine Jian asked.

"The maidservant has long heard that when Zi Tai was elected to the palace when she was seven years old, she was selected to serve in the palace by the former head of the Food and Drug Administration, Bai Shi. Therefore, Zi Tai was dissatisfied with the maidservant... Bai Shi originally chose The successor was Luo Nüzhi, and Luo Nüzhi naturally took great care of Zi Tai. Zi Tai was dissatisfied with the competition between the maid and Luo Nüzhi, and provoked the maid many times. Although the maid heard that Zi Tai had committed a serious crime of obscenity, she still Under the protection of Bai Shi and Luo Shi, the maid dared not speak out in anger."

"Where is Zijiang? How is your relationship with her?"

"The servant only knows that Zi Jiang and Zi Tai are friends. They entered the palace at the same year. They fell in love with each other as sisters when they were little palace maids. Later, they were officially promoted to female envoys and have been living in the same place. Zi Tai acted arrogantly, but Zi Jiang was more cautious than her. Much more, but Zijiang naturally does not agree with the maidservant's succession to the position of consul."

"As far as I know, Commander Bai and Nuzhi Luo were both sent out of the palace because of illness?"

"It is indeed because of this that the servant was promoted to the position of executive officer. However, since the servant joined the Food and Drug Administration, he has been working conscientiously and has never made any mistakes..."

"Do you know how the current conditions of Commander Bai and Luo Nuzhi are?"

He:……

"What? Do you need me to go to the Department of Peace and Security to investigate?!"

Elderly female officials and palace maids who are sick are often sent to temples to recuperate. Under normal circumstances, they have no chance to return to the palace. But when younger palace ladies are sick, they are often sent to the Department of Hospice. The Department of Hospice has female doctors for diagnosis and treatment. Although the medical skills are uneven, the palace people still have a chance to be cured. If they recover, they will still return to the palace and continue to serve the royal family. However, Jian Bin guessed that He was not temporarily in charge of the consulship, but directly promoted to replace Bai. Most of Bai's patients have been diagnosed with serious illness. Bai's family originally had the opportunity to be transferred to the Refreshment Department. However, at this juncture, both Bai's and Luo's were actually sent to the Hospice Department due to illness. It was only natural that Ho's family would be transferred to the Hospice Department. Upgraded to head of the Food and Drug Administration...

If He was not in charge of the Food and Drug Administration, where would he have the opportunity to execute Zi Tai privately?

"My servant dare not hide the truth anymore." Mrs. He cried bitterly: "Both Bai and Luo have died of illness... In order to promote his cronies, Bai has been suppressing his servant. The servant is resentful because he and his wife Zeng Nuzhu, the supervisor of the Department of Regulations, was a good friend and often complained to her. One day, Zeng Nuzhu told the maid that she had a noble lord to help her. The maid did not know which noble lord she was referring to, but Zeng Nuzhu warned her. My maid, as long as my maid takes charge of the Food and Drug Administration and waits for the opportunity to execute Zi Tai, your lord can guarantee that Bai and Luo will never interfere with your maid again."

"Did you intentionally cause Bai and Luo to become ill?" Jian Bin asked again.

Mrs. He shook her head repeatedly: "The two of them are not getting along with the servant. Even if the servant has malicious intentions, he really can't find the opportunity to cause them to get sick. In addition, the Peace Bureau is outside the palace, and the servant has no right at all. If you step out of Taicheng, you can't harm the two of them. The maid also listened to the advice of Nu Zeng and reassured the maid, because Bai and Luo have already died of illness in the Hospice."

He only thought that as long as Zi Tai was executed, the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, Zi Jiang caused an uproar because of Zi Tai's death. Her only chance of survival was to seek His Majesty's forgiveness. No matter what, she couldn't do that now. Let Mrs. Xie believe Zi Jiang's words! ! !

Jian Bin also breathed a sigh of relief.

As she expected, the He family would not be bribed by Zheng Guiren, but would probably be used. However, He family would only anger Zi Jiang by executing Zi Tai, causing Zi Jiang to risk his life to expose the truth and put He family to death. Death place! Since the He family confessed to the Zeng family, and also implicated the medical girl from the Hospice Department, there was always a trace to follow. No matter how powerful Zheng Guiren was, as long as these people were not silenced, they would not be able to trace the Changfeng Palace.

In Mrs. Xie's thermal pavilion, Concubine Qiao was roaring angrily.

"Nonsense! How dare you, a cheap servant, spit on anyone!!! Even if you told Madam Fu the so-called facts, you clearly said that you were ordered by the Queen to poison Madam's medicinal diet! How could His Majesty order you to poison her? Madam, this is impossible!"

"This slave only wants to put He to death. It was indeed Fu Nu who told the slave that as long as the slave tells the truth about that year and lets Madam Xie know that His Majesty ordered the slave to poison Madam Xie's medicinal diet, He will definitely die. What the slave said Not a single word is false, otherwise, you will die without a burial place!”

Qiao Bin was so angry that her face was livid, but she didn't know how to refute Zi Jiang.

"You would have died without a burial place, so what's the point of swearing this poisonous oath?" Yingshu said coldly: "You keep accusing His Majesty of ordering you to poison, so let me ask you, did the Queen know about it?"

"The queen didn't know."

"The queen doesn't know about it, but why do you have the talisman given by the queen?"

"The emperor and the empress are one. Since my servants are loyal to your majesty, they will also be loyal to the empress."

"Then what orders does the queen give you?"

"The Queen is just calling the slave to confirm whether the slave is obeying His Majesty's orders."

"Absurd!" Yingshu raised her eyebrows: "You just claimed that the Queen didn't know anything about it, but now you have changed your confession and said that the Queen gave you the Talisman just to make sure you were poisoned. If the Queen didn't know about the poisoning, Why are you summoned?"

"The slave indeed made a slip of the tongue. The slave was worried that the Queen would pass the blame on the queen, so she lied in desperation. The queen did know about it, but it was not the queen's order to the slave at that time, but the order from His Majesty himself, otherwise the slave would definitely I suspect that the Queen has evil intentions and will not commit such evil deeds. Only if Your Majesty personally gives the order, will the servant dare to obey the order."

"In that case, why do you have the Queen's Talisman in your hand?"

Yingshu firmly believed that Zi Jiang had committed more than one crime. Zi Jiang was clearly Empress Yu's confidant, and it was Empress Yu who recommended her to His Majesty. Therefore, Empress Yu was emboldened and repeatedly instigated Zi Jiang to do more sinister schemes. , but Zijiang will naturally not admit that she is Queen Yu's confidant, otherwise, Mrs. Xie will not believe her words.

"The envoy knew the truth, so he tried to use the talisman to refute the slave's confession. Madam Xie, your majesty must have listened to Wang Lan's instigation to do this to the madam. Madam thought carefully, if the madam gave birth to an heir, Why recommend the female envoy to the palace?!"

"So, you were ordered by His Majesty to poison Madam's medicinal diet after Wang Zhi committed the crime of treason?" Yingshu asked.

"No! His Majesty gave the order when Madam first entered the palace..."

"I was not yet born when Mrs.

Concubine Qiao finally came to her senses and quickly helped: "Madam, Zijiang's words are clearly inconsistent. Just as Emperor Xiu just questioned, when Madam entered the palace, the Duke of Linyi still held the important position of Dazhongzheng. He was not only respected by the northern gentry. , even Jiangdong Gu, Lu and other wealthy nobles were convinced by the prince's reputation. At that time, if the prince wanted to recommend a daughter from his clan to the palace, he did not need to be recommended by others. Even the daughter of the Wang family in Linyi could completely replace the daughter of the Zheng family in Changping. , today’s Changfeng Palace will no longer be occupied by Zheng Guiren!”

Mrs. Xie's expression finally softened again.

She knew in her heart that no matter what the reason for her infertility was, it was not directly related to Ying Shu, because when she was diagnosed with the disease of palace evil qi blocking the meridians, Ying Shu was not yet born, let alone her normal appearance. The Lu family was worried about letting Ying Shu enter the palace. Even in order to prevent Ying Shu from entering the palace, the Lu family decided to marry Ying Shu to Pei Yu. It was always because of her stubbornness that Ying Shu entered the palace. There is no doubt that Yingshu was involved in this ugly and dangerous incident to protect her interests.

"Let me ask you." Mrs. Xie spoke up and looked at Concubine Qiao: "What is going on in this matter? Did you really believe what Guiren Zheng said? Today you repeatedly persuaded me to summon Zi Jiang, and you acted like Zi Jiang." When I asked you to report my secret love alone, were you the only one who helped me?"

How dare Concubine Qiao hide it now? He quickly admitted: "Although I have not met Zheng Guiren, I did meet Luo Cairen. Luo Cairen personally told me that Zheng Guiren has made arrangements. Zheng Guiren intends to join hands with his wife to deal with Hanguang Palace, and He is also willing to persuade the Zheng family in Changping to help Duke Chen tide over the difficulties.

It was for the sake of my wife that I really believed what Guiren Zheng said, but Luo Cairen clearly said that Jiang, the palace lady who poisoned my wife, was acting under the queen's orders, and Zi Jiang would definitely persuade her to hold back and find another opportunity. In order to take revenge on the emperor, I thought that I must first have an opportunity to convince Madam Zheng Guiren of the sincerity of the alliance, otherwise Madam would definitely not believe in Guiren Zheng, so I did not tell Madam the truth first.

I never expected that Guiren Zheng’s real purpose was to slander His Majesty, and to use the mouth of this palace maid to anger Madam, causing Madam to offend His Majesty. Thanks to Emperor Xiu, I knew that Guiren Zheng would not be so kind. I listened to Emperor Xiu After analysis, Qingzhi fell into Zheng Guiren's trap and rushed back to Zhaoyang Palace in time. "

"Madam, don't believe what they say!" Zi Jiang stretched his neck: "Even if the queen can command the slaves, can the queen also bribe Imperial Physician Liu? Madam is indeed poisoned by the poison of annihilation. If Imperial Physician Liu was not under the orders of Your Majesty, how could he be the wife? This is a diagnosis of palace evil!"

Yingshu was really not sure whether Imperial Physician Liu knew the truth but concealed it.

Once Xu had a false pregnancy, Imperial Physician Liu knew it but kept silent. Even when Concubine Shi had been taking Wushi Powder, Imperial Physician Liu kept silent because of the holy order. Imperial Physician Liu was loyal to His Majesty, and he was also very likely to be under the influence of Mrs. Xie. On the pulse, the truth is concealed.

But Yingshu didn't believe that Imperial Physician Liu would completely violate the principles of being a disease doctor.

Thinking back to her previous life, she actually had the same experience as Mrs. Of course, her diagnosis was not credible, but after Sikong Beichen's death, the palace's medical officers changed drastically. Some of them were her personal confidants, but those medical officers could not confirm that she was suffering from the disease. The poison of Jue Si is infertile, and the symptoms are said to be the same as those of blocked meridians.

Perhaps Dr. Liu was indeed unable to diagnose that Mrs. Xie's symptoms were due to poisoning.

"If you had never poisoned Madam's medicinal diet, Imperial Physician Liu would naturally have diagnosed the disease as palace evil, because Madam's infertility was originally due to illness rather than poisoning." Ying Shu was not sure, but that was all she could do now. Zi Jiang retorted.

"Then I dare to ask the Queen Supervisor, if the slave is really telling nonsense, how can such a lie stand up to dialectics? The slave told Madam Xie the truth, it is indeed selfish and wants to put He to death, but if the slave says that it is indeed Lie, the person who was executed was just a slave. Is this slave willing to sacrifice his life just to kill himself so that a vicious woman like He can continue to go free?!"

At this moment, the door of Nuan Pavilion was knocked, and the palace maid's voice came into Nuan Pavilion through the door.

Yingshu recognized it as Dong Dianzhi of Zhaoyang Palace.

"Access." Madam Xie's anger subsided for a moment, and she naturally realized that it was her confidant who was outside asking for an audience.

Dong Dianzhi opened the door and walked in. Yingshu always felt that she was giving her a look that said, "Don't be impatient." Then she heard Dong Dianzhi's soft voice as usual: "Mrs. Rong, good morning." The former slave heard Lady Jian cross-examining Master He and asked about some situations, but I thought it would be best for Master He to explain these situations in person."

Yingshu lowered her eyes, and the tight string in her heart finally relaxed.

It was really the right thing to do to ask Concubine Jian for help beforehand.
