When the palace banquet came to an end, Gu Panfu was already a little tipsy. The green plum wine during the banquet had a sweet taste. Gu Panfu couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. Unexpectedly, the stamina was a bit overwhelming.
Gu Panfu walked a little unsteadily on the palace road, and Hanrui Hanlu hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Gu Panfu's eyes were firmly attracted by the palace lanterns hanging on the corridor. One of them was painted with a rabbit, which looked a bit like her grandparents when she was a child in her previous life.
The one I bought for her. She gently brushed away Hanrui Hanlu's hand that was supporting her, and stood under the palace lantern for a long time and looked at it. She wanted this palace lantern.
Hanrui Han looked at each other with his face, his master seemed a little drunk, and they did not dare to go up and pull him casually.
"Lu Qi," Gu Panfu suddenly said, pointing to the lamp, "I want this lamp, please take it down and give it to me."
Lu Qi originally stepped forward respectfully to listen to the instructions, but he hesitated for a moment when he heard this. He turned back to look at Hanrui and Hanlu, the two eldest maids. Gu Panfu had never been like this before. Even Hanrui, who had been with Gu Panfu for the longest time,
They had never encountered such a situation before, and the two of them suddenly ran out of ideas.
Seeing that Lu Qi had not moved for a long time, Gu Panfu turned around strangely: "Lu Qi, why don't you go?"
Seeing the seriousness and seriousness in Gu Panfu's eyes, Lu Qi did not dare to delay any longer. It was just a lamp, so what if the master wanted it.
Lu Qi stood on the railing and took out the lamp and handed it to Gu Panfu. The style of the lamp was actually very simple. It used ordinary bamboo slices as the skeleton, and paper flowers with some impurities were decorated with two playing rabbits. The candlelight
It reflected the warm and dim light on the cold winter day. The more Gu Panfu held it in her hand, the more she liked it. She held it in her hands and did not allow others to touch it.
Hanrui cautiously stepped forward to support her again: "Master, let's go back."
"good."
Just when everyone was about to reach the end of the corridor, a young eunuch suddenly came out from the corner: "See Gu Ronghua."
Everyone was startled, and Lu Qi immediately stood in front of Gu Panfu and shouted loudly: "How outrageous!"
Gu Panfu suddenly became sober when she was frightened by this eunuch. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the eunuch in front of her. He was wearing the lowest eunuch uniform, and his head was lowered so that he could not see his face clearly.
"Where are you eunuch?"
"Gu Ronghua forgives the sin, Gu Ronghua forgives the sin, the servant Taichen Palace sweeps the eunuch. The emperor was a little drunk and said he wanted to see Gu Ronghua. Mingzhong Eunuch took care of the emperor and couldn't leave, so he asked the servant to come to Ronghua." The young eunuch continued.
He kowtowed several times and sounded anxious.
Gu Panfu didn't say anything, but a gust of cold wind blew from the corridor. The little eunuch broke out in sweat on his back, and shivered violently due to the cold wind.
"I have never seen you in Taichen Palace." Gu Panfu's eyes were filled with coldness.
"Master Gu, my servant is usually responsible for some chores. Today I happened to be clearing the snow in front of the palace. The emperor was chasing after me in a hurry, so Eunuch Mingzhong pointed out my servant." His voice became more urgent, "How dare you deceive your master, Gu Ronghua
Just follow me and you will find out."
"Lu Qi, gagged me and gave me a good beating, then tied me up and took me back and threw me into the utility room." Gu Panfu's voice was ordinary, with a playful smile on her lips, but there was an endless storm in her eyes. Today.
It has never snowed at all. Taichen Palace has strict rules. If Xie Xiao is in the palace, Mingzhong will not allow such a lowly eunuch to approach the door. What's more, Mingzhong has been the eunuch chief for so many years, no matter how anxious he is, he will not
Just grab any eunuch to deliver the message. Also, based on Gu Panfu’s selfishness, if Xie Xiao wants to see any concubine after getting drunk, it would be more credible to say that the sun rises in the west. Maybe it’s someone else, but it won’t be her anyway.
she.
As soon as Gu Panfu finished speaking, the little eunuch knew that he had been exposed, so he stood up and wanted to run away. But Lu Qi kicked him in the back, and he threw himself to the ground with a cry of "Ouch", and was held down by the other two eunuchs who came out today.
He blocked his mouth. The three of them worked together to drag the little eunuch to the open space and beat him severely.
"Master...don't you want to ask?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, don't rush it now." No matter whose trap this is, it doesn't work now. Gu Panfu has been busy all day, and she is so tired that she doesn't want to stay awake anymore and just wants to go back to sleep.
Back at Weiyu Xiaozhu, Aunt Ma brought a bowl of hot soup. Gu Panfu drank the hot soup and felt much better. Smelling the smell of wine and incense on her body, she wanted to take a bath. While it was burning
After a while, Hanlu told Mother Ma what happened today. Mother Ma frowned: "Who is so brave to do this during the New Year without fear of bad luck?"
Hanlu also frowned: "Yes, fortunately, the master is smart enough to see through the eunuch's lies, otherwise he wouldn't have known what was going to happen."
"Anyway, the person has been caught. I will wait for the master to order a good interrogation tomorrow." Mother Ma is very motivated. She has not shown any skills since she came to Gu Panfu. This time she has to let the master see her as an old woman.
It's a matter of ability.
When Gu Panfu took a bath, she was about to fall asleep in the tub. She was being dried by the waiters, and Hanrui insisted on pulling her to stay up late to keep her awake. It was said that this was Gu Panfu's first year in the palace and it was unlucky not to stay up late.
, he insisted on staying up until midnight, stuffing her with a fat white dumpling before letting her go to bed.
Gu Panfu slept very well this night, without any dreams. She woke up early on the second day of the lunar month. Today is the real annual leave. The queen was generous and said yesterday that she did not need to go to pay her respects before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Gu Panfu stretched out her arms.
Lazy, she still has a lot to do today.
"Master is awake. Why didn't you call your slave?" Hanrui came in and saw that Gu Panfu had already gotten up. She brought water to Gu Panfu to cleanse her face.
"What about the eunuch?"
"It's still closed. I had a fever at night, but I'm awake."
"That's alright, let Lu Qi give him some water, just don't die." Interrogation also has skills. Gu Panfu plans to test the eunuch's will first, and the rest will be easy to ask. If he really has a will
He was determined and would rather die than give in, and she would give him pleasure.
At this time, Mother Ma walked in with a hint of fear, "Master."
Gu Panfu raised her eyebrows. Aunt Ma had been in the palace for decades. What could happen to frighten her: "What's wrong?"
Mother Ma took a few steps forward and whispered in Gu Panfu's ear for a while. Following Mother Ma's words, Gu Panfu's eyes gradually widened. Hanrui, who occasionally heard a few words, also had a look of horror on her face, giving Gu Panfu
The hands Fu used to comb her hair shook.
After Ma Ma finished speaking, she took a step back and asked, "Master, what should I do with the eunuch?"
Gu Panfu didn't expect that it was such a shady matter. The eunuch had become a hot potato now. Her face became serious: "Mommy, go find some dumb medicine and feed it to him. Don't let him talk too much, and then send him to the hospital."
Go to the Criminal Investigation Department and tell him that he was originally mute and was working as a handyman, but today he was caught trying to steal."
"Master, the Queen has summoned you." Lu Qi's voice sounded outside.
Gu Panfu asked Hanrui to respond, and said to Mother Ma: "Do this quickly, don't let anyone find out the clues. I will leave Lu Qi to help Mother later." She thought for a while and said.
: "Mommy, it concerns the royal family. This is not something we should know. Do you understand, mama?"
Mother Ma nodded: "I understand, Master, don't worry, I will handle it properly." Mother Ma knows better than Gu Panfu what to say and what not to say, even if it may have spread throughout the palace now, they still want to
Pretending not to know.
When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, Gu Panfu glanced around silently and found that almost everyone had arrived. The only missing person was Li Guiren. Li Guiren and Zhao Jiarong and Zhao Meiren lived in the Jingning Palace. They usually stayed together no matter they went in or out. It was such a big deal today.
But not there.
The atmosphere in the palace was condensed, and no one spoke. Until the queen appeared and everyone said hello. As soon as they sat down, they heard the queen say: "Last night, Guiren Li was infected with cold. I was afraid that she would infect the second prince, so I moved her from Jingning Palace."
He has gone elsewhere. Li Guiren is ill, so don’t bother him."
Everyone agreed.
The queen added: "Yesterday, there were a few unruly eunuchs who spread news in the palace. I have been dealt with by others, so don't worry. But don't be lax just because of the New Year. Take care of your own palace.
The servant here."
Everyone knew exactly what the queen was talking about. The queen told them that the matter was over and they were not allowed to mention it again. Everyone agreed honestly.
The queen chatted for a few more words, asked about palace affairs and then left.
After leaving Fengyi Palace, everyone had unspeakable expressions on their faces. Yuan Chongrong even looked disgusted: "What is this?" He flicked the veil, got on the sedan chair and left.
It turned out that the emperor was going to stay with the queen last night, but the queen took the initiative to say that she was pregnant, fearing that her lack of energy would disturb the emperor's mood. The emperor went back to Taichen Palace by himself. Later, he thought that the three emperors' brother Qin Wang and his family were staying in the palace today, so he
I invited King Qin to stay with me. Everything was fine. But after midnight, King Qin went back and Xie Xiao was ready to go to bed. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Manna Hall, he smelled a strange fragrance and saw a figure on the bed from a distance.
, Xie Xiao's anger surged immediately, and with a sullen face, he asked Ming Zhong to drag him down.
The woman's hair was messy, her clothes were disheveled, and she was wearing a red mandarin duck swimming bellyband. When she was pulled in front of the emperor, her face was flushed and she was gasping for breath. When Mingzhong lifted her hair and took a look, he was almost scared to death. It was the King of Qin.
The eldest daughter of the family is Princess Roumin.
Everyone in the palace immediately fell to their knees, not daring to take a breath, for fear that if they took a breath, the furious emperor would pull him out and chop him down. Xie Xiao felt so sick that he felt sick to his stomach and couldn't sleep. He immediately asked Ming Zhong to pull him down.
Wake up and interrogate him carefully.
This question brought up many things at once. The Roumin County Lord had been deeply in love with Xie Xiao for a long time and had been planning it for a long time. She first bribed a young eunuch who was with his father and asked him to send a message to her.
. On New Year's Day, he followed Princess Qin into the palace early and asked his personal maid to bribe the lowest eunuchs with money. He taught them a lesson and asked them to go find each concubine at the end of the palace banquet. This was the time to leave.
During the banquet, everyone walked outside the palace and asked the eunuch to lead the concubines to a place where there were many foreign men. Unfortunately, no matter how stupid the concubines in the palace were, they would not fall for this kind of trick. Even the precious concubines knew it.
The emperor will stay with the queen on New Year's Day. But I don't know what happened to Li Guiren.
County Lord Roumin sneaked into Taichen Palace on the pretext that the weather was cold and he wanted to deliver a cloak to King Qin. He also used the excuse that the emperor felt cold and the Manna Palace was closer, so he moved the fire cage in the palace and took away the people near the Manna Palace.
The eunuch and the maid. After the eunuch and the maid moved the fire cage, they asked their maids to come forward and say that they had gone back to King Qin, and asked them to carry their things and follow the maids. Then she got into the Manna Palace to hide, and poured aphrodisiac incense to guard Xie Xiao.
.
There was no fire cage in the Manna Hall, so it was already very cold. County Master Roumin wrapped herself tightly in quilt at first, but later she couldn't care less because she smelled too much aphrodisiac fragrance and her whole body felt hot.
This matter is considered a royal scandal, and it makes people feel sick to mention the incest between the niece and her uncle. King Qin knelt outside the Liangyi Palace early in the morning, and Mingzhong also went to get the ban himself. The imperial guards in the palace were strengthened.
During the patrol, Mother Ma had been in the palace for many years and had a keen sense, so she went everywhere to ask the old sisters. Only when she heard some inside information, she immediately went back and told Gu Panfu. Thanks to Gu Panfu's cleverness, she quickly dealt with the eunuch. If it had been delayed a little slower, people would have been
Knowing that the eunuch was bribed by the head of Roumin County. Who wouldn't doubt that Gu Panfu knew something? Wouldn't the emperor think of this when he saw Gu Panfu again? No one could say for sure. At that time, Gu Panfu had fallen out of favor.
