Chapter 363 Message From the Thousand Carp Pond
Qian Rongsheng had always been very polite to Concubine Li in the past. During this period of time, Concubine Li had actually begun to fall out of favor, but Qian Rongsheng's attitude had not changed at all.
"My dear concubine, this is His Majesty's order. You have served His Majesty for many years and you should understand His Majesty's rules." Qian Rongsheng said softly.
Concubine Li naturally understood that it would be difficult to change the emperor's order, but she was unwilling to just accept it.
The old nun, who the imperial concubine relied on very much, suddenly broke free from the shackles of the young eunuchs, knelt down next to the imperial concubine, and shouted: "My dear imperial concubine, this old slave is your nanny. I have served you for so many years..."
Concubine Li's heart skipped a beat, forgetting the people around her, this nanny could never be sent away.
Although Qian Rongsheng didn't say it clearly, Taozhi had already been with the Shenxing Department before, and no more people could be brought in.
Besides, the old nanny has more things to worry about than peach branches.
"This is the son of my mother's family, a member of the Li family, and I can't leave with you." Concubine Li tried to save the old grandma.
But Qian Rongsheng sighed. He did not expect that the Queen Mother had expected that the Concubine would say this.
"The imperial concubine, when she enters the palace, she becomes a member of the palace. She used to be a servant of the Li family, but now her name is also on the palace register." Qian Rongsheng said.
Concubine Li's eyes narrowed. Seeing that there was no other way, she could only insist: "I want to see Your Majesty, and I want to hear His Majesty's edict personally."
Qian Rongsheng looked embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty has been busy these days, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you. Besides, this is just a trivial matter. Why should you offend His Majesty because of this? In the end, it will affect your favor."
When Concubine Li heard this, she knew that the emperor was not really busy, but just didn't want to hear her plea.
For a moment, she couldn't figure out what went wrong. She had persuaded the emperor, but the end result was that her entire army was annihilated.
She was so confident that the Queen Mother did not dare to mention the word "violent king" at all. She couldn't understand how the Queen Mother persuaded the emperor?
Qian Rongsheng winked at the little eunuchs around him: "The imperial concubine is still ill, so please help her back to bed to rest."
The two young eunuchs stepped forward and sent Concubine Li into the palace gently but without refusal.
Qian Rongsheng waved his hand, and all the other servants serving in the Imperial Concubine Palace were taken away from Guanju Palace.
As soon as he came out, he met Li Shunfu waiting there.
"Manager Qian, are everyone here?" Li Shunfu asked.
Qian Rongsheng came to take people according to the roster and counted them one by one.
"The Queen Mother has given instructions a long time ago, and I don't dare to miss anything." Qian Rongsheng said with a smile.
Li Shunfu nodded and said: "Manager Qian, the Za family is under the orders of the Queen Mother. These palace servants have not served the imperial concubine well. Over the years, they have not only failed to fulfill their duty of admonition, but have instigated the master to commit many serious mistakes, and they have all been sent to the Criminal Punishment Department." , investigate the culprits one by one. "
When the palace people in Guanju Palace heard this, they all looked desperate.
In a place like the Shenxing Department, all kinds of punishments are notorious in the palace. It's a blessing to walk in and carry them out.
The old nun who the imperial concubine relied on the most struggled violently and wanted to run back, but both Qian Rongsheng and Li Shunfu brought strong eunuchs and would not give her a chance to escape.
"Let's all be brighter with our tactics. The Queen Mother has said that these people will be interrogated by the Criminal Division. They must not make any mistakes." Li Shunfu warned again.
While speaking, he directly stuffed a handkerchief into the old nanny's mouth and had her tied up tightly.
In Li Shunfu's heart, this old nanny, like Taozhi Xingzhi, must be taken care of as a key person.
The old woman's eyes darkened, she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
However, the noble concubine in Guanju Palace was making noises to go out at this time.
The servants responsible for serving her hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, you are not cured yet. Going out now will not be beneficial to your health."
The servants were afraid that the imperial concubine would cause trouble to the Department of Punishment again.
Concubine Li turned her head, stared at a group of unfamiliar faces, and said, "Your Majesty asked you to serve me, or to monitor me?"
People dare not accept this.
She continued: "I want to go to Qianli Pond for a walk, isn't it okay? Otherwise, it will be you who will be the noble concubine!"
The servants immediately knelt on the ground, and no one dared to stop her.
The imperial concubine walked quickly to the Thousand Carp Pond, pretending to be appreciating the fish, and all the servants serving her followed closely.
The imperial concubine's face was filled with impatience: "Don't be an eyesore. Go back to the palace and bring me a cloak. Go and bring me some snacks. Go and get some tea..."
In a short period of time, Concubine Li ordered several palace attendants around her to move around.
The palace people didn't want to leave at first, but the imperial concubine's eyes widened: "Do you serve me, or do I serve you? Doesn't everything I say work?"
Although they were asked to advise the imperial concubine, in the final analysis they were just a group of slaves. Besides, the imperial concubine was just watching the fish in Qianli Pond, and she did not go to the Criminal Punishment Department.
In an instant, everything around the imperial concubine fell silent. After no one else was around, the imperial concubine quickly walked to the corner of the Thousand Carp Pond and slowly poured the fish food she carried with her into the pond.
A group of golden carp all swarmed towards this place. Not long after, Concubine Li saw the reflection of a woman behind her on the lake.
The woman was wearing the most ordinary palace maid clothes, and her face was also very ordinary. She was the kind of person that you would not be able to find in a crowd.
"Send a message to my eldest brother as soon as possible and tell him that the Gu family must be eliminated! Otherwise, the entire Li family will be in trouble!" Concubine Li said viciously.
The palace maid lowered her eyebrows and nodded, although she did not understand the reason: "Don't worry, I will definitely convey the message to Lord Li."
Concubine Li thought about it and felt that she became like this now, all because of Niuniu!
During the time she was sick, she had nightmares every night, dreaming that the person came back and came to settle accounts with her.
Niuniu was almost exactly the same as that person. The Gu family, which had been suppressed into the dust, was now rising again. She could only suspect that these people came to suppress her again!
"This is my handwritten letter. I must hand it to my elder brother in person." Concubine Li was afraid that Li Ziqin would not take it seriously if she just sent a verbal message, so she wrote another letter, sealed it with wax, and wrote down everything she had concealed over the years.
If she had not been forced into such a situation, she would not have wanted to use the man from Qianlichi at all. This was the most secret nail between her and the outside world in the palace.
The maid was about to nod and leave, but suddenly her ears moved and she heard a slight movement.
"My queen, there is a little mouse eavesdropping."
The maid turned around and walked quickly into the rockery next to her. After a moment, she grabbed a little girl in pink clothes.
