Empress with no Virtue Chapter 11: Insidious

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!

His Majesty the Emperor reprimanded the Queen in public again.

This time it was because of the body found by Bixinting. The deceased's hands and feet were tied, his mouth was gagged, and he was thrown into the Taiye Pond. While floating in the pond, he was discovered by Ji Wu Jiu in the Bixin Pavilion and ordered to be fished out immediately.

It’s not unusual for the palace maids and eunuchs to die in the harem, but it would be bad if they bump into the emperor.

It just so happened that this person was a palace maid next to Wang Zhaoyi. When Wang Zhaoyi saw it, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

After scolding him, Ji Wu Jiu asked Ye Zhen Zhen to investigate the matter thoroughly. Moreover, there were people in the harem who were so disrespectful and lawless. He issued another decree, ordering the queen to clean up the harem from now on, and ensure peace and quiet in the Sixth Palace.

After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen sneered in her heart. As the emperor, how could Ji Wu Jiu put the life of a little palace maid in his eyes? He was obviously making excuses. Purging the harem? If she disobeys her openly and secretly, Ji Wu Jiu will definitely find out her faults again; but if he makes great efforts to rectify it, he will offend many people overtly or covertly. As a queen, her status was already awkward. The emperor didn't care for her, and the queen mother didn't love her. Now if she continues to make such a fuss, she will lose her standing.

"This Ji Wu Jiu is too insidious and not a good person!" Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but cursed out accidentally.

Su Feng's face turned pale with fright. He didn't care about overstepping his bounds and hurriedly covered Ye Zhenzhen's mouth, "Queen, you must not do this!" Although it was in Kunning Palace, who knew if the emperor's eyes and ears were there. She didn't even think about such treacherous words, let alone calling the emperor by his first name, she actually said it outright, I didn't know whether she was brave or confused.

Su Yue was also frightened and knelt down, with a solemn expression, "The Queen is a smart person, but I am brave, so I made it clear today. Who in this harem is not insidious? Even Concubine Li, if she is stupid, How did you get to where you are today? There must be something special about you. Your Majesty, you are the Lord of the Sixth Palace. The more respected your position, the more dangerous your situation. How many pairs of eyes in this harem are staring at you? ! I have been with you for so many years and I know your temperament well. You grew up in the Ye Mansion and were held in the palm of my hand. You can get wind and rain when you want. You can laugh and curse without any taboos. Even if your words and deeds are a bit off. No one in the Ye Mansion has the heart to punish you for something inappropriate. But this palace is not the Ye Mansion. No one here loves you and no one will tolerate you! On the contrary, everyone wants to plot against you. I want to kill you!"

Ye Zhenzhen was startled, "You're still talking about me. Why did you catch me and say anything?"

"This slave is helpless. Please listen to my advice. I know you understand, but you can't control your temper. But if you continue like this, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous. Even if you don't think about yourself, We should also think about the Ye family!"

"You should get up first," Ye Zhenzhen said, raising her chin slightly, Sufeng quickly helped Suyue up. Ye Zhenzhen sighed and said, "Everyone thinks that I can protect the Ye family, but I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect the Ye family."

Since ancient times, whether it is a powerful minister or a relative, anyone who can wield power must have a weak royal family. But Ji Wu Jiu was active and active every day, he was not sick in body or brain, he was diligent and not indulged in sensuality, and he was full of bad ideas. How could such a person tolerate the Ye family? If Ji Wu Jiu is a growing tiger, Ye Xiu Ming is a late lion. It's not that she, Ye Zhenzhen, doesn't believe in her grandfather, but that's the fact. Time was on Ji Wu Jiu's side, even if the Ye family could win one and a half moves for a while, they couldn't afford to waste it.

Moreover, the Ye family was already a big one and attracting attention, and the Ye family had a queen, who was known as a "foreign relative". How could she not be hated by others.

Sighing again, Ye Zhenzhen thought, grandpa, you really made the wrong move with the Queen.

"How can a good man become a good emperor?" Ji Wu Jiu put down the brush in his hand and said after hearing the report. His voice was not loud, and he seemed to be talking to himself or to the people next to him.

There were only two eunuchs present, and neither of them was qualified to comment on this sentence, so they lowered their heads and looked more respectful.

"You go down first."

"Slave, please retire." The man kneeling on the ground stood up, still bent over, and respectfully withdrew. If Su Yue saw his face, he would definitely be familiar with it.

When there were only two people left in the room, Ji Wu Jiu said again, "The Queen is a sensible person."

"She is Mr. Ye's granddaughter after all." Feng Youde agreed. Although these words were reasonable, they were inappropriate and seemed to remind Ji Wu Jiu that he needed to maintain his hatred towards her.

Ji Wu Jiu glanced at Feng Youde lightly, then asked, "What is the name of her palace maid, Su Yue?"

"Back to the emperor, it is this name."

"I violated the name of a virtuous concubine."

The emperor seems to be really interested in the concubine Xian, Feng Youde thought, even this level has been thought of. Suyue is the queen's personal maid, and the word "offender" or "offender" in her name all depends on the emperor's words. After all, the difference between an empress and a concubine is equivalent to a wife and a concubine. No matter how favored a good concubine is, she is also a concubine.

Feng Youde thought that the emperor would order Ye Zhenzhen to change Su Yue's name, but after waiting for a while, the emperor did not say another word. He looked up and found that Ji Wu Jiu was holding a pen, and then approved the memorial just now. The vermilion brush tip walks between the ink words, which is very eye-catching.

"..." Feng Youde didn't know whether he should take the initiative to ask the emperor. He hesitated for a long time. When the words finally came to his lips, Ji Wu Jiu suddenly raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes clear and unwavering. But there is a chill in it. He was shocked and bowed his head hurriedly.

Ji Wu Jiu opened another memorial. This memorial came from the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the three major battalions, and the content was to request the emperor to visit the three major battalions to review the troops in person.

What we want is this kind of knowledgeable person.

***

In the past few days, rumors have been circulating in the palace. Everyone said that the dead maid of Bi Xinting entrusted her dream to Ye Zhenzhen, telling the queen her grievances and pointing out the murderer.

However, the people in front of the Queen are very strict with their mouths, and no matter how much they inquire, they can't find out anything. Su Feng was anxious for a moment and revealed a little bit, saying that the murderer was guilty of the Flower Goddess. This word was widely spread by the palace maids and eunuchs, and they even said that the murderer would be dealt with by the Goddess of Flowers without the Queen's intervention.

This is even more mysterious. There are many explanations for committing the crime of the flower god, or it is a horoscope, or it is a name, or it happens to be a crime at a certain time and place on that day... Which one does the Empress refer to?

Ji Wu Jiu heard about this but laughed it off. Play tricks and see what tricks she can pull off.

Ye Zhenzhen's tricks are very simple. She doesn't really want to try the case. There are too many wronged souls in the harem. She just wanted to find a scapegoat to give Ji Wu Jiu an explanation. As for what kind of scapegoat she was looking for - of course she hated it.

What she hates the most these days is Fanchun, the palace maid who beat her Suyue.

And Fanchun's name can barely be interpreted as the **** of flowers.

On this day, Ye Zhenzhen held Wang Youcai's hand while walking in the imperial garden. From a distance, she saw a tall figure passing by with a small group of guards. They also saw the empress's presence and hurriedly avoided it. The guards in the harem can walk freely within their patrol range, but if there is no special need, they need to avoid the concubine in time.

"Commander Lu." Ye Zhenzhen called to the leader.

When Lu Li heard Ye Zhenzhen calling him, he walked forward and knelt down on one knee, "My lord, please see the Queen."

The person on the ground is wearing a dark red official uniform, embroidered with the roaring tiger mountain forest pattern representing the fourth-grade military attaché; he is wearing a Zhongjing crown, and the brim of the hat is edged with satin of the same color. This man is tall and has strong steps. When he walks, he carries a fierce aura unique to martial arts practitioners. When he kneels, his back is straight and motionless, as if he were made of stone.

Seeing the respect and alienation of the people who grew up together, Ye Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at the black top of his hat and said, "Raise your head."

"I dare not."

"Table..."

"Empress! Empress...what are your orders?"

"Do you know anyone from Dali Temple?" Dali Temple is responsible for solving cases.

"Bu Hong, the young minister from the left of Dali Temple, has some friendship with me. What do you want the queen to say?"

"It's nothing, I just want you to help me ask if anyone in Dali Temple wants to be a eunuch."

"..."

Watching Ye Zhenzhen leave, Lu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he frowned and shook his head: Zhenzhen has a straightforward temperament, and she has to suffer a lot in this harem.

Ye Zhenzhen walked for a while, and suddenly a palace maid hurried over and whispered a few words in Ye Zhenzhen's ear. Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and said, "Bring her here."

After a while, a palace maid was turned over and looked embarrassed. When she saw Ye Zhenzhen, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Empress, have mercy!"

"Which palace are you from?"

"Back to the Queen, this servant is from Cining Palace."

Ye Zhenzhen stopped asking and waved her hand, "Take her down."

This was really a mistake. Ye Zhenzhen didn't expect that she was really making a fool of herself by throwing in a few grains of grain. The palace maid was burning confetti money in the garden in broad daylight. I don’t know whether she deliberately wanted to throw herself into a trap or was frightened by the rumors, thinking that she had really offended the Flower God. But no matter what, there is no need to investigate this matter further. Something happened in the harem, and no one dared to throw dirty water on Cining Palace, so she should be one of the real murderers of this murder... Being able to tie up a living person, gagged him, and throw him into the Taiye Pond in the middle of the night without making a sound was probably not a task that a palace maid could accomplish alone.

But why did the Queen Mother deal with Wang Zhaoyi? This is more puzzling. Wang Zhaoyi's status is not high, and he is not very favored. He just showed up and does not pose a threat to anyone's status. After much thought, Ye Zhenzhen could only conclude that the unlucky palace maid saw something she shouldn't have seen.

Anyway, the matter ended here, which not only betrayed Cining Palace’s reputation, but also blocked Ji Wu Jiu’s mouth.

As for rectifying the Sixth House... Hehe, if you want to rectify it, I will rectify it for you.
