The palace maid s of the Imperial Consort Lan Palace and the eunuchs of the inner palace met directly the Empress Dowager Li s who went to exchange books with the Qin'an Hall during their private meeting on the Gonghou Garden. The Empress Dowager Li was furious and immediately called the empress over.

Imperial Consort Lan knelt inside the Qixiang Palace, crying with heartfelt grief. "Empress, your concubine is truly not aware of the situation."

"I know you don't know. Get up." When she came back, she didn't have any ears to calm down. When she got someone to help her up, she asked them to bring hot water to clean her face, and then applied some makeup again, "It's normal that you don't know that this is a lie, but you are already an imperial concubine now, and amongst all the imperial concubines, you are the only one who has given birth to His Majesty. You should be the one to stand up." Otherwise, I wouldn't use you as a raft.

How could Imperial Consort Lan not know of this as well? She used a handkerchief to pull her face away, and with a blink of her eyes, two streams of hot tears fell down once more. Even though she had carried a child twice, she did not stay and had no children. In this imperial harem, it was not right for people to degrade her.

"If you think like this, there are so many people without any children in this palace, their positions are not even as good as yours. Do you think they won't live?" Wang Rong He seemed to see through her thoughts as he said, "You must let your temper come out alive."

"Alright, you can go back first. I still have to finish what I need to do next." Wang Rong sighed, "Don't scare yourself, I won't vent my anger on you."

"Many thanks, Empress." The Imperial Consort Lan said, "If it wasn't for my useless palace, we wouldn't have let the Empress suffer a beating from the Esteemed Empress Dowager."

"If Esteemed Empress Dowager wants to talk about me, I don't need anyone to say it." Wang Rong He was so shocked that he fell to the ground.

"Empress, then what about Dew her?" Imperial Consort Lan still wanted to ask about the palace maid that was hit right in the middle. At that time, she went down to the Discipline Hall with that eunuch.

"Could it be that you want to plead on her behalf?" Wang Rong asked.

Although I do not know why she would do such a thing, I do know that such a thing cannot be tolerated in the palace. I do not wish for her to return to attend to me, I only hope that she can still leave the palace with her life and live her life. "

The Imperial Consort Lan looked at Wang Rong She with an earnest expression. The Empress had never been one to be killed, so she would definitely be able to keep her little life, right?

"That's not to say she didn't serve you for nothing." Wang Rong He said that she would definitely prefer to have human feelings towards the empress dowager than to protect herself. "If I happen to be run over by her, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything good. I can only do my best to protect her little life."

After the Imperial Consort Lan went out, Palace Manager Cui came in, and she had been waiting outside for a long time. She knew that once these things happened, the Empress would summon her.

"Did Palace Tzu An tell you which one to investigate?" Wang Rong asked.

Palace Manager Cui's heart trembled. She almost thought that the empress knew of her relationship with the Empress Dowager Li, but when she looked again with a sinking heart, she could see that the empress had only asked this question without any other intentions.

After all, the Empress Dowager Li had been in charge of the palace for a long time. Even though she was not in charge of the palace now, it was only right for the empress dowager to ask him about the palace's situation.

empress had never suspected her.

As Palace Manager Cui thought of this, she felt a bit bitter in her heart. If only she had not taken over the Esteemed Empress Dowager's Gui Zhi and came all the way to the Empress's palace, with her whole heart and soul, she would have been the Empress.

But at that time, if she had not already become a Palace Manager, she probably would not have left a mark in the Empress's eyes, much less be of use to the Empress.

"The Empress said to investigate thoroughly." Palace Manager Cui lowered her head and said.

"It's easy to investigate." Wang Rong said bitterly, "Only the things that are hidden in this palace city are completely exposed under the sun, does mother really want to see it?" How long has she been in charge of the palace? It's definitely not as long as the palace in Empress Dowager Li, if you count all the things that are hidden in the darkness of the palace on the Empress's shoulders, I'm afraid they're unjustifiable.

"You can start with palace maid." Wang Rong sighed, "As for the eunuch, I'll ask Chen Ju to take care of it."

When Palace Manager Cui came out, she looked back at the Qixiang Palace. The Esteemed Empress Dowager only wanted to thoroughly investigate the body of the, the Empress Dowager suspected that the reason the did not go to the harem at the Qixiang Palace was because the empress used someone to hug him. But in her opinion, there shouldn't be such a palace maid in the Qixiang Palace.

Then why is the Esteemed Empress Dowager suspicious?

The Esteemed Empress Dowager stirred such a huge vat of water to verify. If the desired result was not obtained, then what the Empress said about the empress being separated from the Emperor for a period of time would be true.

She saw that since empress did not do anything, she had become increasingly useless in this harem that she had ruled for so many years. How could the Esteemed Empress Dowager endure this? She was becoming more and more impatient with the empress, and only she could not help herself and explain.

Before Chen Ju came, Wang Rong He called out to Gu Yanxi and Yan Qing, "You also know about what happened today at Gonghou Garden. The Esteemed Empress Dowager wanted to thoroughly investigate what the heck happened. There was no reason for Qixiang Palace to stay out of this matter, sooner or later they would investigate all this and find out all about me. If you serve me once, I won't let you lose your dignity. "

"Yan Xi, go and ask if there's any news from the outside of the palace."

"Yanqing, go ask the palace maid of Qixiang Palace. Small and large, you can't even miss out on little palace maid, ask them all carefully and don't hide anything from them. Otherwise, if they find out, not only will they lose their dignity, even I won't be able to protect them."

"Now that we've asked for our own answers, we can have a response."

"Empress." Gu Yanxi looked at Yan Qing and hesitated. She knew that the Empress clearly trusted her very much since she was able to call Yan Qing over.

"Esteemed Empress, this palace may be filled with vegetables, or it may be filled with food. It is not a small place. If we were to thoroughly investigate, I'm afraid that most of the people in this palace are not clean. " Gu Yanxi said. Especially the eunuchs. "

"Then does palace maid really want to become a customer with the eunuch?" Wang Rong asked.

"How is this possible?" Yan Qing said, "palace maid at the bottom level, have lived too arduous a life, without enough food or clothes, and were bullied by others. Most of them went to make friends with big eunuchs, offering their bodies for others to play with, in exchange for clothes to eat Wuyou. And there's also that honest palace maid, he can take all the hardships she has, but if someone takes a fancy to him, how can she have the power to fight back?

"Since it's so serious, it looks like I have to investigate it thoroughly." Wang Rong said in a serious tone.

"But the people in the Board of Justice's torture chamber are also eunuchs and they are in the same group. It's a pity that these palace maid could not help but lose their chastity. Who knows what would happen to them in the future?" Yan Qing said with righteous indignation.

Don't worry about her first. You guys first understand the palace maid s of the Qixiang Palace well, then you can have a good idea of what's going on. Wang Rong He said, "It's fine if they are willing, but if they are forced, I will not let any of them go, regardless of whether he is the eunuch that the emperor can use."

Chen Ju was now the head of the Ceremony Overseer, and was considered to be a eunuch with great authority. However, he used to be in charge of the emperor's hidden sentry background, and he had quietly lost it today, he was not as flamboyant as Feng Bao, which made the people in the imperial court have a slightly better impression of him.

When the empress wanted to see him, he thought for a moment and knew that it was related to the matter of the customers discovered in the imperial harem today. She then went to report to her majesty, and said that she wanted to go meet the needs of the Qixiang Palace s.

"Why did the empress call you?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"The Holy Mother Esteemed Empress Dowager went to exchange the Qin'an Hall for the scripture for Buddha today. When she passed by the Gonghou Garden, she discovered that the eunuch of the Inner Palace, Ma Zong, and the palace maid, were having a private meeting. Because of this matter, the Empress summoned servants to go. " Chen Ju spoke the truth.

"Great Eunuch and palace maid met?" Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully. What can they do? "

"There are eunuchs and palace maid s who are unable to endure the loneliness and ended up living together in private, so they can't do anything. They can only talk and seek comfort in their hearts." Chen Ju said.

"Tsk." Zhu Yijun said, he suddenly looked at Chen Ju, Chen Ju was a martial artist, his body was big, and he had an arrogant man, if one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see that he was a eunuch, "You do not have a lonely time? You don't want to chat with little palace maid? "

"When it comes to serving His Majesty, when would I have the time to think so much about it?" Chen Ju said, "It is my fortune to be able to serve Your Majesty properly."

"Haha." Zhu Yijun said, "I will remember your service well. If you feel lonely tomorrow, I will reward you with two palace maid s. You will be different from them once you have passed the test."

Chen Ju thanked him.

"Since you want to go to Qixiang Palace, we will also go back to Qixiang Palace." Zhu Yijun said, "This Huangji Hall chair is just not as comfortable as the Qixiang Palace."

"It hurts my back to sit down."

When Wang Rong He saw that the emperor had returned, he stood up to welcome him. "Your Majesty, why have you come back so early today?"

"Chen Ju said you wanted to call him, so we couldn't sit still when we heard the three words' Qixiang Palace '." Zhu Yijun said, "Tomorrow, we might as well move all the chairs from Qixiang Palace all to Huangji Hall, I can sit a little more comfortably."

"Then how about I go to the Huangji Hall to accompany your majesty?" Wang Rong asked.

"That would be for the best." Zhu Yijun laughed.

Wang Rong laughed at him. Naturally, she could not go to the Huangji Hall, otherwise, not only would she have to go to the Empress Dowager Li, even the previous dynasty would have to tell her that this empress had gone too far.

"I want Chen Ju to search the eunuchs of each palace. See if he can find anything forbidden, and destroy it together with it." Wang Rong didn't need to specifically tell Chen Ju this alone, she looked at the emperor when she said it, as if she was discussing it with him. After all, she had been in charge of the palace for so long, and the palace maid had changed hands a few times. She thought that there was not much of a problem, but amongst the eunuchs who had never interfered, there was probably a huge problem.

"If you want to do it, then do it." Zhu Yijun said unconcernedly, "Obviously, mother is the one who has nothing better to do for you, yet you still want to take it seriously."

"A eunuch has no roots, what can he do with the palace maid?"

Only after searching the palace and finding all sorts of toys that were completely unheard-of did Zhu Yijun realize how naive he was.

He didn't like to warn others, so he started to take this matter seriously.
