While they were waiting for Zhou Yuting, the Empress Dowager Li sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager Chen, his Majesty and the Imperial Consort Guo over. Imperial Consort Guo knew that the Empress Dowager Li had never been used to her, so he suddenly called her over. The Imperial Consort Guo held her chest, but only after the person told him that she had invited His Majesty did the Imperial Consort Guo feel reassured. With his Majesty here, even if she suffered a little grievance at the empress dowager's hands, the emperor would still give it to her.

Imperial Consort Guo dressed up carefully before heading over.

Empress Dowager Chen was the closest, so she came the fastest. "What happened?"

Empress Dowager Li's mama briefly explained what had happened, while Empress Dowager Chen looked at Liu Jing, "In the entire palace, only you would meddle in this sort of thing."

"In the end, Zhou Yuting and her concubine entered the palace together. If she brought this upon herself, one or two girls would be wronged. But her concubines wouldn't tell the empress dowager that the servants had followed orders. No matter how bold a concubine is, the fate of others is not something that a concubine can shoulder alone. " Liu Jing said, "But if Zhou Yuting is wrongly accused, even a concubine would have to report it to the empress dowager. Right and wrong, Her Majesty will give her an answer. "

Imperial Consort Guo was the first to arrive, followed by His Majesty. When Imperial Consort Guo heard this, she immediately kneeled down and exclaimed out loud, "Esteemed Empress Dowager is right. Your concubine has never heard of this before."

She pulled at Zhu Yijun's clothes, "Your Majesty, this servant has never done such a thing."

"Imperial Mother, how can you take a palace maid's words as the truth?" Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Jing, "You didn't sleep in the middle of the night, so you listened to palace maid cry.

Liu Jing kneeled down upon hearing this, "Your Majesty is clear, what I did today is not in any way related to me. Your Majesty doesn't care what Your Majesty thinks of me, I just want to know with a clear conscience."

"As the imperial concubine of the imperial harem, there's no such thing as" benefit "or" benefit ". Aren't you just jealous of me for getting pampered by the emperor? That's why it's such a despicable conformation. " Imperial Consort Guo said.

"If I topple you, will His Majesty pamper me? You are underestimating me. I am not such a fool. " Liu Jing said.

"You don't like it, but your good sister Imperial Lower Consort Yang does." The Imperial Consort Guo said.

"We are all sisters of the imperial harem. If we were to become enemies just for the sake of being pampered, the imperial harem would never have peace. I was meddling this time because I didn't want the imperial harem to become like this in the future. Do you think that she would let go of someone who even the Imperial Consort Candidate s would not let go of? "

I am a little woman, and only live by His Majesty. Other than serving His Majesty, I do not care about anything else, but I know that there are some things that I can only worry about in the empress. "The Imperial Consort Guo mocked. Could it be because you and empress are in the same hall, and you want to be the secondary empress before empress even enters the palace? "

"Imperial Consort Guo." Empress Dowager Li shouted. If you have not done it, then clear yourself up. Once everything is confirmed, This Dowager will not wrongly accuse you. Why are you biting around like a mad dog? "

The person from the palace said that the Esteemed Empress Dowager wanted to call for Zhou Yuting, so he ordered Zhou Yuting to quickly go bathe and change clothes before going to the palace. Zhou Yuting was confused. Seeing that someone from the palace had arrived, she went to the bathroom through the window.

"My lady's chance has come." Fangruo lowered her voice and said, "Miss, if you want to return to the palace, you must remember that all of your actions and actions in the Chuxiu Palace were instigated by Zi Su, who is a member of the Imperial Consort Guo."

Fangruo then quietly left. Zhou Yuting closed her eyes and thought, her heart thought that after a period of mental struggle, she had actually quickly made a decision. She couldn't completely trust Fangruo's words, but she didn't have a better choice right now. Her face was exhausted, and her fingers were rough and rough. She picked up the bracelet that Fangruo gave her last time, and went to find Zi Su.

"Right now, the fate of the two of us are in your hands. If I can return, I will definitely protect you well, but if you are not careful with your reply, the two of us can only live within the Clothes Washing Bureau for the rest of our lives." Zhou Yuting gave the bracelet to Zi Su, then followed the person from the palace.

He left the purple tassel on the spot, feeling extremely confused.

"This servant pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live and long live the Emperor."

"This servant pays respects to the two Esteemed Empress Dowager s. The Empress has lived for thousands of years."

"This servant pays her respects to esteemed mistress Yang."

"This servant greets the Imperial Lower Consort Liu Empress."

Zhou Yuting entered the hall and kowtowed to the lady. She was originally a bright and cheerful lady with beautiful flowers, but now her face was covered with dust, and her hands were covered with traces of work. Empress Dowager Chen could not help but say, back then everyone knew that she loved Zhou Yuting.

"Zhou Yuting, This Dowager wants to ask you, before this, the Ci Ning Palace asked the Imperial Consort Candidate of Chuxiu Palace to copy the scriptures. Did you write your own book of scriptures?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"To reply to the empress dowager, this servant wrote it herself. This servant's words aren't good. I copied it a few times before choosing the best one to offer." Zhou Yuting said.

"But the scroll with your name tag is copied by the empress." The Empress Dowager Li said.

Zhou Yuting seemed to have received a great shock, "This servant doesn't know, why would the empress's scriptures have this servant's name on them?"

"At the time of the interrogation, your palace maid Zi Su said that you were the one who asked her to change her name plate to another one of the books." Empress Dowager Li stared at her.

Zhou Yuting shook her head in grief and indignation as if she couldn't believe it, "Zi Su, why would Zi Su do that? This servant has never let Zi Su do such a thing. Back then, when empress's little sister and this servant were in the same hall, copying the scriptures, Beauty Wang borrowed empress's original script to copy them. At that time, everyone in the front hall had seen the words written by empress, and knew that they were written by empress herself.

"Please enlighten me, Esteemed Empress Dowager." Zhou Yuting bowed to the ground.

"Then were your actions in the Chuxiu Palace instigated by someone?" Empress Dowager Chen asked. She knew that when the Empress Dowager Li insisted on punishing Zhou Yuting, it was because she had secretly changed the scripture. If she did not order them to do it, there was still hope for them to return to the palace.

"I've heard that the Emperor and the Esteemed Empress Dowager both like to be generous and not be shy." Zhou Yuting laughed miserably, "But no matter what, I lost my rational judgement, and acted in an overly righteous and straightforward manner, causing others to misunderstand. I did not investigate the two faces of the palace maid beside me, so I admit my mistakes and can't blame anyone else."

"Imperial Consort Guo, what do you have to say?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, your concubine was falsely accused. Your concubine really doesn't know that scum. Zhou Yuting even knew that the words on the empress were written well, but at that time, the concubines did not know that the words on the empress were written well. " The Imperial Consort Guo tried to defend herself.

"You don't need to know. You just need to tell the palace maid to find the person who wrote the best words and change them. It doesn't matter who she is." The Empress Dowager Li said.

"I've never been a concubine before." The Imperial Lower Consort Guo was wronged, "Back then, when Zhou Yuting bribed the Palace Manager, I could not have ordered her to do it."

"This servant didn't bribe the Palace Manager. It was Zi Su who said that the Imperial Consort Candidate wanted to live a better life, so she had to pay Aunt, the eunuch of the palace maid. This is not something that a servant can do alone. I heard that empress also gave him money. "

"One or two of you, are you saying that you cannot speak without empress on your lips? She's not here, what's the meaning of mentioning her over and over again? " Zhu Yijun said in displeasure.

"Imperial Consort Guo, did you place people in the Chuxiu Palace?" Zhu Yijun asked.

The Imperial Consort Guo said timidly, "Your Majesty, I have no concubines."

"However, concubine's Great palace maid has always had good relationships with people, and all of the little palace maid below likes her. Could it be that someone misunderstood and thought that concubine instructed palace maid to befriend a palace maid with Chuxiu Palace, and from then on, did something about it?"

"Your Majesty, your servant truly did not." "Imperial Consort Guo pulled at Zhu Yijun's bottom. "His Majesty knows that this servant is very stupid. How could he have the heart to frame others?"

Zhu Yijun slapped the table, "Don't you know what your palace maid is doing? Could it be that you are no longer responsible if something happened to your palace maid? "You disappoint me too much. You will be punished with a year's salary and then be reflected on the situation in your palace for half a year. After that, you will be allowed to come out after it is clear."

"Your Majesty." The Imperial Lower Consort Guo wailed as she pleaded for mercy. Her beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Hurry up and go back." Zhu Yijun said. This foolish woman, if I were to help you, it would not be so simple.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth, "Your majesty has always been kind to the Imperial Consort Guo, which is why she is getting more and more presumptuous. Your majesty is unrestrained towards her, I'm afraid that in the future, she will make even more mistakes."

"Muhou is just a palace maid." Zhu Yijun said, "It's not a big deal. Furthermore, when you talk about being generous and straightforward, you can hear rumors of being arrogant and tyrannical. This can also reveal some of one's true nature, and it is not entirely one's fault for instigating others. "

"What about the matter of the Beauty Wang's Persian makeup? Don't you think that Beauty Wang was the one who asked around and liked Persian beauties? " The Empress Dowager Li said, "If she had gone out to investigate, she would not have made such a mistake. "She is indeed foolish, but wasn't the one who instigated her viciously evil in her heart, and wouldn't the person who was instigated by the palace maid be so scheming that it would make people tremble?"

"She can't even tolerate the Imperial Consort Candidate. Did she not make a move against the imperial concubine? That unlucky beauty Yin, His Majesty had never flipped over her signboard before. Just by flipping over her signboard that day, ordinary people would be unable to control themselves? Your Majesty hasn't thought of the reason? " The Empress Dowager Li said.

"Imperial Mother originally had some prejudice against her, but you don't need to suspect that all the evil deeds in the palace were done by her. Besides, I have punished her for half a year of self-reflection, and removed her green card for half a year. Zhu Yijun said.

"If mother thinks that it's not enough, then the empress's wedding should mean that the two concubines with the highest score in the palace should go and fetch the phoenix carriage." If mother thinks that it's not enough, then the empress's wedding should mean that the two imperial concubines with the highest ranking in the palace should go and fetch the phoenix carriage.

"Imperial Consort Guo should read more women's books when she is self-reflecting, even if it is to apply for the throne, it would seem that she would have to self-reflect." The Empress Dowager Chen tried to smooth things over, "As for Yuting, since she has been taught a lesson in Clothes Washing Bureau for a period of time and does not deserve this punishment, His Majesty will let her return to the palace."

"Let's head back to the palace, and take up the role of an assistant. We'll stay at the Chuxiu Palace first." Zhu Yijun said, "Imperial Mother, We still have matters to attend to, so we will be leaving first."
