Chapter 608: Palace Fights Are All Scheming

Xiao Yun looked at her in surprise. What was going on?

Before, taking advantage of the death of Qiao Wan and the Queen Mother, she asked Jiang Lin to find some faults and deal with a group of spies outside, but the concubines in the palace have not been dealt with yet.

Mainly involving the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Emperor Yongkang, and the concubines. There are also various complicated relationships among them, so we cannot act rashly. Lily of the valley is one of them.

Although the other party didn't have any bad intentions, and even the incense was borrowed from her, she was Yupin's person after all, so Xiao Yun couldn't keep her by her side.

The other party didn't take action before and now, so who knows if she will do so in the future. Although she can put a loyalty talisman on him, she doesn't appreciate his intelligence or skills, so she simply sends him to Concubine Yu and lets her cousins stay together.

I don’t know if it was because of her guilty conscience, but Concubine Yu became well-behaved and didn’t do anything wrong.

Of course, it could also be because she was in charge of the palace power. Concubine Yu no longer looked at her with contempt and jealousy as before, and she was much more cautious.

I didn't expect this to happen today. She wanted to release Linglan from the palace. Could it be that she suddenly developed a sisterly bond? Or did she feel that Linglan was no longer useful and that it was better to send her away instead of annoying her?

Anyway, no matter what, Xiao Yun doesn't care.

She said to Concubine Yu: "Linglan is twenty-two this year, right? Although she still has a few years to go before she reaches the age to leave the palace, it is not impossible to do so earlier.

In half a month, it will be the Empress's seventh day and the Empress Dowager's fifth day. Then you can leave the palace with the other palace maids."

She had originally planned to use this as an excuse to release a group of people. In addition to the palace maids who had indeed reached the age, there were also some people trained by Jiang Lin. They could take the opportunity to go out and do things for her openly.

Of course, another reason is to clear out the palace so that new people can be arranged to come in. After all, the palace is not like other places where you can buy a group of servants at any time, and there are regulations on entry and exit.

Although Linglan is not of age yet, she has the final say in the harem. It is no big deal to have one more of her. When the time comes, just let Jiang Lin fill in her name.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu stood up with a delighted look on her face and bowed to her again, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty! I, Linglan, would also like to thank you on behalf of Linglan. There really is something going on at home, and I am too far away from the palace to handle it. I have no choice but to ask Linglan to go back and help deal with it."

Seeing that the matter was done, Concubine Yu gave a brief explanation.

Xiao Yun nodded without asking what it was about. She had no right to meddle in other people's private affairs and didn't want to.

Apart from being a little arrogant because she was the first woman of Emperor Yongkang, Concubine Yu had never done anything overly bad. Her thoughts were clearly written on her face, so she was not insidious or cunning. Therefore, Xiao Yun didn't mind raising his hand to give her a favor.

As for those who attacked her, she would definitely not let them go, such as Concubine Liu.

After Qiao Wan's death, that guy hated her for some reason and wanted her and her adopted son to be buried with her master. He took advantage of the busy funeral to drug both of them.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun was proficient in medicine and discovered something was wrong at the first time. He also hurried to check the food of his adopted son, otherwise she might have succeeded.

Xiao Yun didn't tolerate her and just put a puppet talisman on her, asked her to write a suicide note and then hang herself.

The suicide note was all about the deep love between her and Qiao Wan as master and servant. In the end, she decided to bury Qiao Wan alive with her and continue to serve her over there.

Xiao Yun is also fulfilling her loyalty. Doesn't she want someone to be buried with her master? Isn't she the most suitable one?

However, every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules. It is a serious crime for a concubine in the harem to commit suicide. Although Emperor Yongkang was grateful for her devotion to the empress, he could not break the rules. So he stripped her of her title of beauty and demoted her to a palace maid.

And her family, because she finally escaped slavery by becoming the emperor's concubine and giving birth to a child, but within a year, she was executed because of her...

Of course, Emperor Yongkang was still very moved by her loyalty, so he ordered her coffin to be placed together with Qiao Wan's at Huangjue Temple, and wait until the mausoleum was built and ready for burial, then her body would be sent there to be buried with her.

After hearing the news that Liu Meiren was "buried alive", Qiao Wan wanted to keep her soul by her side and continue to serve as a ghost servant. Unfortunately, Liu Meiren's soul was just an ordinary soul, without any consciousness, and could not even leave the corpse too far away, so she followed directly to Huangjue Temple.

As for when it will dissipate, no one knows. Xiao Yun doesn't hate the other person to the point of scaring him to death.

As for the palace maids around the Empress Dowager, most of those who served her personally were ordered by Emperor Yongkang to be buried with her. Only those who were not very close to the Empress Dowager on the surface and were not her confidants, but actually worked for her in secret, were left.

Among them were Wei Jinghuan and his apprentice Wei Xing. One had served the late emperor and was allowed by the empress dowager to retire in the palace, and the other was a manager at the Imperial Household Department. It was not easy to release them from the palace directly or kill them for any fault they had committed. Xiao Yun also had other uses for them.

Not long after Concubine Yu left, Xiao Yun was thinking about something when he was brought back to his senses by the noise coming from the side hall.

She frowned and sent her spiritual sense over, only to see Chu Yue lying on the ground, twitching all over. The little fat boy was frightened and huddled in his wet nurse's arms, at a loss. Chu Yue's wet nurse was being held by Li Hong and Qing He, who kept shouting that she was going to report to the emperor!

Xiao Yun walked out quickly and ran into Yue Gui who was jogging over. She asked, "What happened in the side hall?"

Yue Gui quickly replied, "The princess had just eaten some snacks made in our kitchen when she suddenly collapsed to the ground. Her nurse, Han, immediately started yelling that we had poisoned the princess and that she was going to ask the emperor for justice.

Li Hong and Qing He have already restrained her over there, and I have also had the princess's other two maids restrained, and have sent for the imperial physician."

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "You guys did a great job. I'll go over and take a look."

As she spoke, her eyes turned cold. She had been on guard against everyone, preventing others from drugging her and her mother, but she had never expected that someone would use this motherless child to frame her.

This is the child of Emperor Yongkang's beloved. If he really dies in her hands, even if it is later found out that she didn't do it, she will not be able to escape punishment and will still be implicated!

But it's easy to guess that the person behind the scenes is probably not from the palace. Her people are watching her, and it won't be good for them if anything happens to her.

This life is different from the previous life. Although Emperor Yongkang is also sad, he is not busy missing Qiao Wan every day like in the previous life, and neglects the affairs of state.

In this life, he only suspended court for ten days before returning to normal court to handle state affairs. Although he would occasionally go to Fengyi Palace to pay his respects, he mostly went there during the day and would not stay there overnight.
