Chapter 360
If you don't bear the grievance to heart, you can't use it as an excuse to force me to take action.
Qingying muttered to herself, then lowered her head and didn't look at Hongli again.
This made Hongli silent for a moment, and he didn't know how to continue speaking, so he let Qingying do such a thing.
But things can't just pass by quietly because of silence.
After a while, Qingying raised her head again, but her expression became somewhat intriguing.
"Your Majesty mentioned Linglingxiang today, which reminded me of something."
Hongli thought that things had taken a turn for the better and immediately became interested.
"What's the matter? Why don't you tell me?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi and the other two have been in the palace for some time. A few days ago, I heard a piece of news from the servants of Yikun Palace. They said that they and the maidservants around the noble lady secretly dropped a cloth bag into the Thousand Carp Pond under the cover of night."
"Of course I find it strange. It would be bad if the noble lady and I brought something we shouldn't have into the palace."
"After several inquiries, we discovered that what the noble's personal maid Jingyao had thrown away was actually a small packet of musk."
Hongli was startled. "What did you say? Musk? How could she, a new concubine, get such things?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Qingying gave him a soothing look and added, "I also feel that this item is too dangerous for a concubine, so I have someone secretly investigate it."
"It would be fine if I hadn't checked, but after checking, I actually discovered some unusual things."
Qingying slowed down her tone.
"Your Majesty, guess what? The noble lady had just entered the palace at that time and had not even served in the emperor's bed. She was completely unfamiliar with the palace's human relations. Where did the musk come from?"
"Why did you throw it away quietly?"
Hongli frowned when he heard this.
In his eyes, He Guiren has always been the kindest person.
She is also very delicate, otherwise she would not have been given such a title.
Hongli would naturally not think that He Guiren was the one who brought musk into the palace.
Lost it quietly.
I don't understand human affairs.
Hongli's eyebrows jumped, and he turned his head to look at Qingying. "Yikun Palace, is it the Niuhulu clan?!"
Qingying nodded slowly.
Hongli was so angry that he shouted "Poisonous woman!"
He shouted angrily, as if he saw He Guiren's cowardly look, trembling in front of him.
In Hongli's view, He Guiren was bullied by his stepmother at home and had a miserable childhood, which was very similar to himself.
After entering the palace, one should naturally live a good life that he had never had before.
But how long has it been?
The other party was unexpectedly assassinated by the Nianhulu clan, and what was even more pitiful was that he didn't dare to attack at all, and could only let the maidservant throw away the musk quietly.
It's so pitiful that one can't help but feel pity for him.
All these things really aroused Hongli's compassion.
"When did you discover this?"
"It was reported yesterday. I was just thinking about how to explain it to the Emperor."
Qingying responded without hesitation.
"After all, this matter involves two concubines. Musk can cause sterility. Once it is torn apart, it will inevitably cause unrest in the harem. So, how should we deal with it? I would like to ask the emperor for instructions."
Hongli's thoughts raced, and he finally heard something unusual in Qingying's words.
"You did the right thing. The stability of the harem is the most important thing. The gains and losses of one person should not be put first."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and said, "I have something else to do in the Yangxin Palace. I will go back first and come to have dinner with you another day."
It seems like I'm just putting this matter aside.
Qingying did not try to keep her.
"Yes, I will send you to the Emperor respectfully."
Helping Xiuxia to stand up, Qingying turned around and whispered, "The people in Yikun Palace need to be used. I want to know what the emperor and Noble Lady Ru said."
"Yes."
...
Lan Changzai forced Chunying to put on a show, and finally achieved her goal.
There was a new Yun family in the capital, and the daughter of the family was a concubine in the palace, which naturally attracted the attention of others.
Lan Changzai was even more proud.
The whole family was freed from slavery. Although they were still commoners, they had the possibility of taking the imperial examination and becoming officials.
