Chapter 63 Now there is a noble concubine and a Wanyi, but there is a good show to watch
"Just these data?" Qi Wuxue pinched a piece of creased rice paper with two fingers, and a lot of food, gold and silver, and the corresponding numbers were densely recorded on it, "What I want is all the records, all of them! What is it, what flowers can you see?"
As she spoke, Qi Wuxue frowned and crumpled the fluffy rice paper into a ball, clutching it tightly in her palm.
Huai Sang took a step forward, and said helplessly: "Madam, this is already the maximum amount of information possible. This palace is no better than the outside. It is still... a bit difficult to secretly send a few thick accounting books in. Besides, , even if it is delivered quickly, this... will take five or six days."
Qi Wuxue was silent for a moment, then let go again, smoothed the crumpled rice paper again, scanned it carefully, and memorized all the complicated numbers in her mind.Then, she got up, took a corner and placed it on the candle flame, and the tongue of flame instantly engulfed the paper.
"After all, I still don't feel relieved to leave this matter to the people below." Qi Wuxue paused to write, and finally stopped writing for a long time, and grouped up Feixin and burned them casually. It's very important, I have to go back to take charge of the overall situation. The food stocks in several counties near Jincheng have all been exhausted, and bandits are rampant. One is to distribute the treasury, and the other is the political situation. Originally, the bandits under Mount Emei occupied the mountain as king It's a good thing. At that time, I suppressed Fang and hid, and didn't dare to do more. Now the world is in chaos. Compared with before, it is even worse. It is becoming more and more rampant, and it seems to be a sign of rebellion. Leaving Central Sichuan is so far away, I am afraid that the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and many things cannot be done properly."
"Then what are you going to do, empress? What excuse should I find to leave the palace?" Huai Sang was a little dizzy.
Qi Wuxue frowned tightly, and shook her head: "If you just make excuses, you will be suspicious. Besides, the emperor doesn't trust you wholeheartedly. It's best to have a chance to leave the palace, so that you can be invincible." Feel free to go back. However..." Qi Wuxue bit her lip, and thought of Wang Yin, if she really left the palace, according to the current situation in Sichuan, it would take at least two or three years for her to go.
"Forget it, bring another piece of paper." Qi Wuxue really couldn't make up her mind, she rubbed her temples vigorously, her heart swayed, and she was about to let the people below watch the distribution of the treasury, and make detailed records, before flying The pigeon passed it over for her to have a look.
At night, Qi Wuxue folded the letter paper with her own hands, rolled it into a thin roll and tied it to the snow pigeon's foot pole.After releasing the snow pigeons, she still stood at the window for a long time, staring at the dense tree crowns in the dark night in a daze.
"Your Majesty decided to stay in the palace because of Yin Wanyi?" Huai Sang's voice was eerily calm.
Qi Wuxue didn't speak, and it took a long time before she turned around and said with a smile: "Sure enough, after following for a long time, you can figure out my thoughts."
Hearing this, Huai Sang couldn't be happy at all, and his face that rarely showed a smile was even more serious: "This is a major national event, and it involves the previous dynasty, my mother shouldn't mess up because of a mere irrelevant person. position."
Qi Wuxue frowned, it was rare that she didn't refute, then smiled lightly, walked away a few steps with her hands behind her back: "You're right, of course I understand. It's just... too short, really, Huai Sang, too short , It's only been two months, how do you let me let go of all this willingly? It's irrelevant, she really has nothing to do with these, she shouldn't be involved in political affairs. It's just that she is tied to my heart, I just can't do it."
"Your Majesty, you have changed." Huai Sang said calmly.
"Yes," Qi Wuxue paused, but there was a lot of smile in her voice, "in the past, Qi Wuxue was straightforward and did everything she could to achieve her goals. But now she is so indecisive that she would get headaches and be reluctant to give up because of a woman." , will worry about gains and losses, will be restrained, as if he has completely changed himself..."
Huai Sang's throat felt a little stiff, and she couldn't hear any emotions: "Emotions are really the most poisonous thing in the world. I hope your empress... will figure it out as soon as possible."
Qi Wuxue turned her head and said to Huai Sang: "It's strange to you, when did you find out about my affair with Wang Yin? Ordinary people would be afraid to hear that a woman is in love, why are you so calm?"
Huai Sang still lowered his eyes and did not look at Qi Wuxue, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent: "When Your Majesty returned to the palace, Huai Sang had already noticed it. Huai Sang's life is your Majesty's, so whatever your Majesty says, she will do whatever she likes. Huai Sang will do his best to protect this person. How dare he have any other intentions."
"Good girl." Qi Wuxue laughed and touched Huai Sang's bun on top of her head, "With your words, even if something goes wrong in the future, I will feel more at ease!"
"Someone is coming from outside." Huai Sang's ears were sharp, she quickly took a step back, and escaped her head from Qi Wuxue's clutches.
"Concubine Rong, the Empress of Fengxi Palace welcomes you." It was the chief eunuch of Fengxi Palace who came with a pleasant smile.
"Oh? It's so late at night, what's the matter?" Qi Wuxue looked at the eunuch with a smile and asked.
"I'll know when you're gone." The eunuch still smiled, but no matter how you looked at it, there was a sense of gloom.
Qi Wuxue snorted and walked out the door with a flick of her sleeves.
It was three o'clock in Xu time, but the Fengxi Palace was still brightly lit, and it looked majestic and majestic.
"The concubine sees the empress." Qi Wuxue leaned over and made a respectful bow, slightly raised her eyes and looked around.
I saw that Empress Chen was still meticulous at this moment, her dignified and serious face made people feel frightened.
There was a court lady kneeling by her feet, with her head buried in her chest, she couldn't tell who it belonged to, but she should be of a high rank by looking at her attire.Turning to the right, Wang Yin was also there, she lowered her chin slightly, stretched her brows, and seemed at ease.Jin Yan was standing beside her, her slender eyebrows were slightly locked, her eyes were wandering, and when she accidentally met Qi Wuxue's eyes, she quickly put them aside, as if she was extremely nervous.
"Get up first." The queen raised her chin at Qi Wuxue, presumably she was still a little afraid of Qi Wuxue, who was not young, and then she said sternly to the maid who was kneeling on the ground, "Now that everyone is here, Tell me, what's going on!"
The palace maid shrank her neck in fright from the queen's sudden voice, she hurriedly fell on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Go back to the empress, the servant girl passed by the Biqin Pavilion a few days ago, and happened to bump into the imperial concubine and Yin Wanyi in the Biqin Pavilion. Doing unbearable things on the bridge outside Qin Pavilion..."
Hearing this, Qi Wuxue's heart shuddered, and she glanced at Wang Yin calmly, only to see that he was also ignorant, although his face was not flustered, his brows were already tightly knit together.
"What unbearable matter, explain it clearly to Ben Gong word by word." The queen's words were straight and clear, which made people startled when they heard it.
"Slave servant... Slave servant saw that the two were embracing and kissing each other. The imperial concubine's hand was on Yin Wanyi's chest. Yin Wanyi frowned and seemed to enjoy it..." The maid finally raised her head, rolled her eyes, He was probably very nervous, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
"Is this true? Can you see the truth?" The queen clenched her palms tightly and said these words from her throat.
Hearing this, the maid hurriedly kowtowed: "It's absolutely true, this servant dare not lie in front of the empress. At that time, it was not only the servant, but also a group of maids in charge of clothes and lamps in the Yunfei Hall. If you don't believe me, you can send me They called together."
Qi Wuxue squinted her eyes, and glanced at the court lady lightly, no wonder she looked familiar, she was Jin Yan's personal servant Mu Lan.I couldn't control my emotions that day, so I trained Jin Yan a few words, and this person was also present.Qi Wuxue withdrew her eyes again, didn't bother to look at Jin Yan, and smiled lightly: "There is such a thing, but I don't know that you, a court lady, are not in the Yunfei Pavilion to serve your little master at ease, so why did you come to the Biqin Pavilion?"
Shelan was still a little apprehensive towards Qi Wuxue, shrank back, swallowed her saliva and said cautiously; "That day... that day happened to be going to Liugong Bureau to get new clothes..."
"Nonsense, the Liugong Bureau and the Biqin Pavilion are clearly two opposite directions." Qi Wuxue still smiled unabated, but her voice turned cold instantly, making people tremble with fear.
"No, it's not going to the Liugong Bureau. The slave girl has a bad record, but she is going to..." She Lan couldn't turn her head, and couldn't speak.
"What are you going to do, tell me." Qi Wuxue forced her to ask again.
Seeing She Lan looking directly at her anxiously, Jin Xie stood up, lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame me, the concubine was actually there that day, our party just came out of Fengxi Palace, and we were going to Biqin Pavilion to visit Yin Wanyi. It's just who On Zhilu, Shelan insisted that she saw the embarrassing thing between the imperial concubine and Yin Wanyi, but unfortunately, the concubine didn't see anything. After this incident, the concubine didn't want to visit anymore, so she went back to the Yunfei Hall. Originally, it was only She Lan who had poor eyesight, but I didn't expect that all the young ladies who followed her would see it, the concubine thought that this matter was related to the dignity of the emperor and the stability of the harem, so she hurried to lead Musk Lan to inform the empress."
Jin Yan spoke clearly and clearly, and she pushed the responsibility away, she really thought through it thoroughly.
"Why didn't you report such a thing as soon as possible?" The queen patted the armrest, a little sullen.
"A few days ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubine was afraid of disturbing the festive atmosphere, so she kept it a secret. I hope the empress will understand." Jin Yan said.
"What do you two have to say?" The queen's phoenix eyes were cold, and she raised her golden finger guard to hold the cold tea.
"The relationship between the concubine and Yin Wanyi is indeed good, but if this is the so-called struggle, then the concubine has nothing to say." Qi Wuxue said calmly.
"Where's Yin Wanyi?"
"My concubine is innocent, so I know it's a purely slanderous statement, and I have nothing to say." Wang Yin smiled faintly with his lips curled up.
These two people have such a tacit understanding and are so calm, it seems that Mu Lan is indeed talking nonsense.
The Fengxi Palace fell into dead silence for an instant, the Empress' eyes turned from She Lan who was kneeling motionless to Qi Wuxue, then swept across Wang Yin, Jin Mao, and several of them bowed their heads in silence.
Although Mu Lan and several other court ladies had witnessed it, but what they said was unsubstantiated. It is hard to believe that such an absurd thing was judged just based on Mu Lan's words.However, if this happened, this is a great opportunity to bring down both Qi Wuxue and Wang Yin in one go, it is really a once in a thousand years, the right time and place, if you don't take this opportunity to get rid of them, you may have more troubles in the future.What's more, with Shishuang's death in front of her, these two people must be punished properly to relieve their hatred.
Thinking about it, Chen Lai couldn't help frowning into the word Sichuan.
Seeing that the master was distressed, Qing Zhu, who stood aside and witnessed the whole process, approached Chen Lai, and said softly, "Madam, it's getting late now, Madam's sore throat yesterday hasn't healed yet. Why don't you come here first, and then do it again tomorrow." It’s not too late to make a decision.”
Chen Lai put down the celadon cup in his hand, and the corners of the cup touched the table, making a collision sound, which was extraordinarily crisp.His gaze was majestic and calm, and he slowly swept across everyone: "That's fine, my lord will stop for a while, I still have some questions to ask. The rest of you should go back and rest first."
Hearing this, several people retreated one after another.
"Is this true or false? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" After the few people left, the queen asked Jin Yan who was standing there, "If it is true, then this matter is also true...it's disgusting. If it is false, you are too impatient, this method of framing may not have much effect, after all, no one will believe it, and it will hurt your maid instead."
Jin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and walked a few steps closer, said softly: "Whether you believe it or not, this concubine saw it with her own eyes."
The queen suddenly raised her head and looked at her in disbelief.
"The reason why the concubine said that she didn't see it was because she was afraid that the imperial concubine and empress would be clever. Before the truth came out, the concubine would confess her life. I hope that the concubine will be more considerate."
"How is this possible, two women..." Empress Chen muttered to herself.
"Your Majesty, don't be too shocked. The maidservants in the harem are lonely, and I have seen a lot of servants. But now one is a concubine and the other is Wanyi. There is probably a good show to watch." Qingzhu raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously secret.
