The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

I don't know if Jiang Shiying's prayer had any effect, but during dinner time, things made new progress.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty. The servants compared the silk threads in the fingers of the girl in Chanyi and found that they were the remaining threads of the golden cloud feather silk.

Weaving gold cloud feather silk is not used in daily life. Only the auspicious clothes of the hostesses are made of this kind of silk and satin.

Looking along the direction of the auspicious clothes, the slaves found that the hems of the auspicious clothes of concubines, noble concubines, and ninth concubines were all decorated with red agate, the size of which was the same as the agate in Chanyi's hand. "

In this case, the person who killed Chanyi was probably a certain empress in charge of the palace. Just check the auspicious clothes of these leaders to know who they are.

Lu Zhaolin tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Jiang Shiying felt a little nervous. Would he go all out to find the empress of the palace for a little maid in Jingyang Palace?

Or, will he just label Chanyi as a quarrel with his master and hide the matter?

The next moment, Lu Zhaolin said: "This matter ends here."

Jiang Shiying thought that it was indeed the case.

Lu Zhaolin turned around and said to her: "I know that Aying is kind-hearted, but she is just a little palace maid. Don't disturb the high-ranking concubines in this palace for her sake."

Jiang Shiying sighed, her eyes filled with water: "Ah Ying is just afraid."

Lu Zhaolin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What is Ah Ying afraid of?"

Jiang Shiying said: "In this palace, it is common for palace people who make mistakes to be beaten, punished and lose their lives. But after all, Chanyi is from Jingyang Palace, why should someone come and tell Ah Ying A sound.

So quietly, he covered her to death with his own hands and hid the body behind the rockery. Ah Ying was worried that there might be something hidden behind this. "

Lu Zhaolin frowned when he heard this.

Jiang Shiying knew that he had listened.

So, she spoke again: "Did Chanyi make a mistake, or did he see something he shouldn't have seen and heard something he shouldn't have heard, and was silenced?"

Lu Zhaolin's thumb and index finger gently rubbed back and forth.

Jiang Shiying knew that he was thinking about what was this thing that he shouldn't see or hear.

He simply added to the fire: "At the beginning, the fourth prince's matter and Princess Funing's matter were not found out. Today, Chanyi's matter happened again.

This palace is obviously the most prosperous and beautiful place in the world, but Ah Ying feels that there is a poisonous snake dormant deep inside, which may rush out at any time and bite people.

Today he bit Chan Yi, and in the past he bit the Fourth Prince and Princess Funing. Who knows if one day he will rush out and bite Ah Ying, or bite His Majesty? "

Having said this, she held Lu Zhaolin's hand firmly, looked at him and said, "What should I do to protect Your Majesty from being harmed by this poisonous snake?"

Lu Zhaolin didn't expect that she was so worried and frightened, but what she cared about most was his safety.

He held Jiang Shiying in his arms and said first, "I'm not afraid. Since the poisonous snake has shown its traces, I will definitely find him."

Chanyi's death was just a small matter, but her death was used to bury it, but I don't know what kind of shady trick it was.

Jiang Shiying wondered: "It's just that if you want to investigate this matter, you must examine the sisters' auspicious clothes. If this matter is spread out, it will really not sound good."

During the Chinese New Year, I was searching for the murderer among the high-ranking concubines. If word spreads, will the royal family still want to lose face?

Lu Zhaolin was also in trouble for this.

Jiang Shiying thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, have the rituals of the harem chief's auspicious clothes not changed in a long time?"

Lu Zhaolin asked: "You mean?"

Jiang Shiying said: "With the new year and new atmosphere, I would like to ask your majesty to change the etiquette of this auspicious dress."

Lu Zhaolin first praised her: "A Ying can be called the best among women."

Then he ordered: "Yao Xingde, you go to the Bureau of Shangfu and convey my order, saying that I will remodel the auspicious clothes of the concubines and ask them to collect all the existing auspicious clothes. After the changes are completed, they will be issued again. Go back to the palaces."

The Shangfu Bureau was a little confused after receiving this decree.

Why is it that, suddenly, the auspicious clothes of the chief concubine have to be remade? Do you want to collect all the existing Jifu?

Chen Shangfu had been dealing with Yao Xingde for many years. After receiving the order, he personally sent Yao Xingde out, hoping to get some information from him.

"I would like to ask Eunuch Yao to give me some advice. Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to remodel the ladies' auspicious clothes?"

Yao Xingde naturally couldn't tell the real reason.

He only said: "We, as slaves, do not dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts without permission."

When Chen Shangfu heard this, his heart trembled and he said, "Eunuch Yao is right."

Then, I heard Yao Xingde say: "However, your Majesty is indeed very concerned about this auspicious service. You must do this errand quickly."

Chen Shangfu knew that this sentence was the real highlight, but she was still puzzled: "The Shangfu Bureau doesn't even know the detailed regulations of this restructuring yet. I don't know, how can we do it quickly?"

Yao Xingde said calmly: "The regulations will be issued sooner or later. The most urgent task is to collect the old auspicious clothes of the ladies first."

If Chen Shangfu had a clear understanding in his heart, the restructuring might be fake. Your Majesty's real purpose is probably to collect the auspicious clothes of the ladies. I don’t know, what is the purpose of collecting the Jifu?

She asked: "Some queens have more than one set of auspicious clothes. For example, Ning Guifei's house not only has the auspicious clothes of the concubines, but also the auspicious clothes of the previous concubines. Do you want to collect them together?"

Yao Xingde stopped, looked into her eyes and said, "This is not according to the rules."

This matter is indeed against the rules, but in the past, no one would insist on this.

Therefore, the Shangfu Bureau always made new auspicious clothes and sent them to concubines when they were promoted or demoted. As for the old ones, they were all left in the hands of the ladies and were never taken back.

At this time, after hearing what Yao Xingde said, Chen Shangfu said: "What my father-in-law said is that things that are not in line with the rules must be changed as soon as possible. Early tomorrow morning, I will send people to the palaces to take back the ladies' auspicious clothes. .”

Yao Xingde said: "Why wait until tomorrow morning? It's not yet time for the palace gate to be sealed."

Yongfu Palace, in the east side hall.

Dong Cainu sat on the bed, listening to the movement in the yard outside. She straightened her upper body, her eyes shining brightly: "Zhi Cui, this movement outside, is His Majesty arriving?"

After coming back from Fengyi Palace to greet her in the morning, she had been waiting for His Majesty to come see her.

Although she was not favored, she was pregnant with the emperor's heir. She was thinking privately, just for the sake of the emperor, His Majesty should come and see her, right?

She didn't think about what to do. As long as His Majesty sat here, drank a cup of tea and said a few words to her, she would be satisfied.

At the beginning of the year, when she heard some movement outside, she thought it was His Majesty who was coming, but it was just someone delivering rewards from the Emperor.

At the beginning of noon, there was another movement outside. She was full of expectations. It turned out to be someone from Shoukang Palace who was giving a reward.

Then, the courtyard of Yongfu Palace has been quiet until now.

Zhi Cui thought to herself, I'm afraid the little master will be disappointed again. But she didn't show it on her face, but said with joy: "Slave, please go out and take a look."

Dong Cainv nodded.

A moment later, as soon as Zhi Cui entered the door, Dong Cainv looked over.

Zhi Cui said: "My young master, someone from the Shangfu Bureau is here."

Dong Cainv was disappointed at first, and then surprised: "What are the people from the Shangfu Bureau doing?"

Zhi Cui said: "People from the Shangfu Bureau came and said that they want to take back the auspicious clothes of the ladies in charge. Your Majesty wants to remodel the auspicious clothes of the ladies."

Dong Cainu still frowned: "It's so late at night, even if you want to take back your auspicious clothes, why don't you rush it now?"

Dong Cainu was not the only one who had this doubt.

Some people, such as Qin Xiurong and Li Bin, couldn't figure it out and just gave it up.

Some people, such as Concubine Jin, smiled knowingly after thinking for a moment: "I'm afraid, someone didn't hide their little tail well and was caught by Your Majesty."
