There was a problem with the close maid, and this matter was much more serious than a concubine using tricks to compete for favor!
Jing Shao cold eyes looked at kneeling on the ground Li, male wives over the door, concubines under the son is the eldest son of the concubine, although can not inherit the title, but can inherit most of the family property, it is no wonder that these concubines will be anxious. Only, they seem to forget that this aphrodisiac spring|pill is not only useful to the king, it is just as useful to the king consort who is a man ...... Thinking about this, there is some subtle stealing in the heart.
"Duo Fu, according to the rules in the royal residence, what should be done about this?" Mu Hanzhang sat down beside Jing Shao, and thought that this concubine of the royal family was really bold, and this kind of thing was not even rare in the Beiwei Marquis' residence.
"Back to Wangfei, a concubine who steals an aphrodisiac drug is to be beaten to death with a messy stick." Duo Fu wrinkled his bun face and answered honestly. This rule, still set by the side lady, was originally sent to the nunnery.
"Your Highness, it really wasn't the slave girl! The slave girl has been with Your Highness for five years, and has never used such tactics!" Li's immediately screamed when she heard that she was beaten to death with a messy stick.
In response to Li's incessant crying, Jing Shao frowned helplessly and waved his hand, "Drag it out."
"Wait." Mu Hanzhang stopped the guards' dragging movements and slowly walked to Li's front, not looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, but just coldly sweeping over a circle of subordinates, "Aunt Li has been with His Highness for many years, and must have a wide range of connections in this residence, as far as this consort knows, only the maids in this East Court, those who have made good friends with Aunt Li are more than half of them." The implication is that she is not to be blamed for this matter no matter what. This is the first time Mu Hanzhang use "this consort" this title, gentle and pleasant voice with love | things after the languor, but it makes people feel shiver.
In order to investigate this matter, Duo Fu to the entire Wang Fu people are gathered over, the East Court of the maids are basically present, heard the words have kneeled down do not dare to make a sound, and Aunt Li is not familiar with the secret happiness, and befriended with the apprehensive, received the benefits of the head is full of cold sweat.
Li did not expect this will be so serious, and served for many years the king did not remember the old love, has long been scared, shivering kowtow: "slave girl know wrong, slave girl was lard blinded heart, but this is all the side lady's idea ah! Wangfei grace, spare the slave girl's life!" Li only now reacted, the side lady this is a two birds with one stone plan, if the matter is successful, can let the royal family know that the king and the princess does not have a husband and wife; if the matter does not work, can take the opportunity to get rid of her as an eyesore of the concubine. Why did I listen to her advice?
"Bitch!" Jing Shao snorted coldly and ruthlessly dropped the cup in his hand, right in front of Aunt Li, "Go and bring Song Ling Xin here!"
Duo Fu was busy telling two maids to go to the West Garden and call the side lady who was still grounded.
"Even if it was the side lady's idea, the one who has the ability to drug is only you, Aunt Li." Mu Hanzhang cold face continued to analyze, this matter absolutely can not be easily uncovered, the entire royal residence of the inner house is now a big problem, today dares to put down spring | medicine, tomorrow should be poisoned. Since Jing Shao let himself manage the inner house, he has to give him a safe and worry-free home!
Li wanted to argue, looked up and met Mu Hanzhang's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, opened her mouth but could not argue, out of instinct, she felt that not telling the truth now would only be worse, but she felt that telling the truth would be the same death.
"If Aunt Li can tell how this poison got into His Majesty's soup, I will spare your life." Mu Hanyang turned around and sat back down next to Jing Shao, Auntie Li was a little unsure as she looked up at the two men sitting in the upper seat, when Mu Hanyang saw that she didn't believe her, she turned her head to look at Jing Shao.
Jing Shao returned a smile to him, "The affairs of the inner house, you make the decision is."
When Aunt Li heard these words, she was like a tranquilizer, shivering and reaching out, pointing to a person in the crowd - Mengxi.
"Your Highness, it wasn't the slave girl who did it, the slave girl was wronged! The food has always been out of the slave girl's hands!" Mengxi was already in a cold sweat from listening to the conversation she had just had, and when she saw it pointed out to her, she just felt weak and crawled forward on her knees a few steps.
In the East Garden house, the day after Mu Huanzhang married over, the work was divided up, with tea and water going to Mengxi, candles and beds going to Miaoxi, meals going to Zhi Ruoxi, and Lanting and Lanxuan supervising the sweeping and scrubbing. When Mengxi said this, she meant to point out that Zhi Ruoxi did it.
Zhi Ruoxi has been silent, is the idea of the same is a sister in the house, can not help but also do not want to fall on the well, now this person all disregard for the face, they do not have to pity her, a few steps forward on his knees, toward the Mu Huanzhang kowtowed and said: "Today is the slave girl negligence, Miao Ruoxi today is not feeling well, slave girl set up a good meal, after the Wangfei is still in the small study, slave girl let Dream Ruoxi to go to please, but she said that the Wangfei on her! She said that the princess was unhappy with her, and without thinking too much about it, she let Dream Ruoxi stay behind to look after the food. It was only because of the slave girl's negligence that this happened, so please punish the princess."
When Mengxi heard this, she couldn't help but scream, cursing ZhiXi's bloody mouth, but ZhiXi just lightly refrained from responding.
Dream Ruoxi broken mouth, usually to the West Garden to pass the news is also her, because there is no big deal has not been much care, Mu Huanzhang lowered his eyes, things have been very understandable, as for the medicine is from where to come, after the investigation is not too late. Picked up the cup on the table, slowly and methodically took a sip, slowly said: "Drag Mengxi out, caning!"
"No~ Your Highness spare your life! Your Highness! Your Highness! The slave girl has served Your Highness for many years! Your Highness!" Mengxi struggled and was dragged out, not long after, a scream came out from the courtyard, Song Lingxin rushed to the East Garden is, was seeing this scene, could not help but white face.
Ignoring the shouts in the courtyard, Mu Hanzhang just drank tea slowly and methodically, Jing Shao looked at such a Jun Qing, only to feel that he was so beautiful with this killing aura! Mu Hanzhang felt that person looking over the line of sight, the heart is a little uneasy, he will not feel that he is cruel and cold-blooded? Quietly clenched his sleeves, slowly turned his head, and was confronted with a pair of beautiful eyes full of gentleness and appreciation, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. How to forget, this person in the battlefield killed countless people, and how will not understand him this as?
Seeing Song's arrival, Mu Hanzhang put down his cup, slowly scanning a circle of people, stood up: "Since the king's residence as a slave, we must abide by our duties, the king's benevolence has not been harsh treatment of the subordinates, you think you can do whatever you want?"
"Slave maids don't dare!" All of them knelt down, their foreheads pressed to the ground to show their fear.
"Tonight all of you go stand in the courtyard for an hour, take a good look, in the future, if any of you dare to commit a misdemeanor, that's what you'll get!" After Mu Hanzhang finished speaking, he didn't let the crowd get up, his eyes shifted to Aunt Li who was already paralyzed on the ground, "Duofu, go and make arrangements, tomorrow, send Aunt Li to a nunnery, take her hair and cultivate her."
"Yes!" Duo Fu, as the only one standing, was busy bowing in response.
Song Lingxin heard, secretly relieved, expected to provoke Li's is just a sentence that no one can prove words, look at the situation, called himself most likely to knock some just.
The fact is also true, Mu Hanzhang really do not have evidence, so he turned his eyes to Jing Shao, asking him what he means.
Jing Shao frowned, now looking at this side room is a hundred times not good, these days in the court so passive, all rely on this talkative side room and her self-interested father! Can't help but snort coldly: "Song's fiddling with right and wrong, unauthorized delivery of news to the outside of the royal residence, this king will go tomorrow to ask for a decree to be demoted to concubine consort!"
Ignoring Song Ling Xin's cries and screams, Jing Shao stood up with some headaches, these women in the inner mansion, none of them are heartless, if he wants to live a few more years in this life, he has to stay away from these scourges. Raise his eyes to look at a white dress of his own Wangfei, that handsome face is gentle and quiet, suddenly have a kind of the world are turbid, only a scoop of clear drink illusion. He couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around him, waving his hand for Duo Fu to lead the crowd to the courtyard to watch Mengxi reflect, while he took his own Wangfei back to his room.
From this day onwards, Mu Hanyang's position as the unshakeable wife in Cheng Wang Fu was established. The original chaotic house, in the next few months, gradually by Mu Hanyang governance in order, the last life of the King Shao is like a dragon's lair of the royal residence, finally turned into a home can sleep peacefully.
In the courtroom, the matter of who to send to conquer the southern barbarians had been argued for several days, and Emperor Hongzheng had not expressed his opinion.
Jing Shao in the Ministry of War point of time, quietly revealed that this is a good opportunity to build up, he is very eager to fight for the meaning.
Jing Chen caused someone to spread the news that both the Grand Prince and the Third Prince wanted to lead the army to the Fourth Prince, who was still grounded.
While the people on all sides argued, the three imperial princes who were still on the court remained silent.
"The emperor's son to go on the expedition, for pacifying the people's hearts, educating the barbarians is indeed useful," Hongzheng Emperor swept his eyes over the following three sons, the eldest prince bowed his head to see the emotions, the second prince's eyes are calm and frank, Cheng Wang frowned his face to show some impatience, "Who are the three of you willing to go? "
Hongzheng emperor remembered last night the queen's words, the heart is a little tired, said what "the third prince unruly, high merit is easy to be born against the heart, the eldest prince is from a lowly background, the second prince a scholar, and the fourth prince as the first son but no military service." The world does not feel their son is not good parents, Hongzheng emperor as an emperor, his own son how to teach lessons can be, but can not allow others to say a word is not.
"My son is willing to go!" The Grand Prince sniffed and immediately stepped forward.
The crowd immediately focused their gazes over, Jing Chen's face was expressionless, and Jing Shao was stoic.
"Jing Shao, why don't you want to go?" Emperor Hongzheng frowned, didn't this person say the day before that this was a good opportunity to get credit?
"Reporting to Father, my son met a jianghu magician the day before yesterday, he gave my son a fortune telling and said that my son is not fit to lead an army in the last three months, and that he will surely lose if he goes out to war." Jing Shao said with a serious face, "I can't tarnish the majesty of Da Chen just for the sake of coveting a moment's success!"
"What a bunch of nonsense!" Emperor Hongzheng violently slapped the armrest of the dragon chair.
Jing Shao panicked and knelt on the ground: "My son is foolish, father rest his anger."
Hongzheng Emperor angry straight blowing beard: "You know that you are stupid, then go back to copy the Art of War ten times, copy not finished not allowed to go to court!"
"Yes." Jing Shao kowtowed and received his punishment, the ministers had sideways glances, this King Cheng was really broken.
"Pass on my decree, and have Grand Prince Jing Rong lead the troops to exterminate the southern barbarian rebels, and depart in three days!" Emperor Hongzheng gave his decree and glared at Jing Shao, who was still kneeling, and flung his sleeves away.
Ignoring the ministers who were whispering behind him, Jing Shao hung his head and walked out of the palace, returned to the royal residence, and wilted and arched into the arms of his own princess.
"What's going on here?" Mu Hanzhang put down the ledger in his hands and patted the guy who was rubbing around in his arms.
"Junqing, I've been punished by Father, I'll have to stay away from the court for a while." Jing Shao smothered his face in someone else's chest, "Let's go to the other house and stay there for a while, the other house has hot springs, so we don't have to bathe in the tub every day."
"...... "Mu Hanzhang looked helplessly at the guy in his arms who was secretly tugging at his lapel, the other courtyard and hot springs were what he really wanted to talk about, right?
