The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 50 Purge
Xie Zhao walked back to Zichen Palace, feeling angry and helpless.

He has never loved the harem, and he is even more disgusted with the intrigue in the harem.What Xue Li said just now... he understood the calculation behind it as soon as he heard it, and knew that it was calculated with him, and he just felt sick to his stomach.

But thinking about Sydney again, he was so helpless that he wanted to laugh.

To him, the women in the harem are like famous paintings handed down from generation to generation, each of which looks exquisite and beautiful, but others can't see through the paintings at a glance what kind of mind and character the painter is. .No matter how radiant and unrestrained the painting is, it does not prevent the painter from having a sinister side.

Sydney is at the other extreme.She is as simple as... It's really just like a "Sydney", you don't need to cut it open, just glance at the outer skin and you will know that there is pear flesh and pear core inside, and you can even guess the size of the core.She didn't have any twists and turns in her heart at all, so simple that he couldn't bear to tell her too many of these things, he just thought it would be nice to keep her happy all the time.

But sometimes, he felt that she was a little too simple.It doesn't matter if he looks at her like a pear, she looks at other people as if "looking at a painting"—it's really "looking at a painting", not "appreciating a painting".

She didn't spend too much time thinking about what kind of emotions might be hidden behind it. She just took a look and thought "ah, it looks good", and then it was gone. No matter how deeply she thought about it, it would be hard for her to die.

Ugh……

Xie Zhao shook his head after thinking about it, there was nothing he could do with her.

The rules in the palace are strict, and everyone is very careful about such intuitive issues as clothing.

Most of the clothes are entrusted to the Shangfu Bureau, and the Shangfu Bureau will not make the same clothes for concubines as hers.Even if her clothes were made by the sewing maid assigned to her, and the concubine's clothes were made by the maid in her own room, it is equally impossible.

You can use several kinds of materials for a suit of clothes, but there are many kinds of materials in Shangfu Bureau.Knowing that she has already taken it here, others will try not to give it to others when they take it again. In this way, it is very rare to bump into a certain material, and it is even more wrong to bump into the same clothes!
So in any case, the clothes must have been made exactly the same on purpose.

——He didn't expect her to think about it at all, but for the clothes, it's a good thing she hasn't thought about it after staying in the palace for three years, and she's full of the same clothes that people wear better than her !

She is really "what you see is what you get" through and through!
"Chen Jijiang." The emperor's voice was deep, and Chen Jijiang hurriedly stepped forward to obey orders.

"Go and investigate the matter before the imperial court. Over there in Sydney..." He paused slightly, choosing between the Imperial Guard and Gong Zhengsi, "Send Wei Chen."

Chen Jijiang hurriedly responded to the "promise", his heartstrings were tense, but at the same time he was relieved!
Ever since Sydney said in Zhengzheng Palace that there was a concubine dressed like her, he was covered in cold sweat.

He couldn't help but understand what Sydney couldn't understand.This is obvious, because some people knew that Sydney was favored, so they deliberately made the same clothes as hers, hoping to please His Majesty.

To be more specific, this is a problem in both Yuqian and Sydney's small courtyards.While telling the back what kind of clothes, at the same time revealing which road the emperor will take today.

Along the way, the emperor's face was terribly gloomy, and Chen Jijiang was worried that he would not be able to continue as the chief supervisor—he was incompetent to control his subordinates!
Right now the emperor is still willing to leave this matter to him, it is for his face, he must clean up this matter, otherwise he will lose his face.

A group of people returned to the Zichen Palace, and there was a bloody storm in front of the imperial court.

This matter is not so difficult to find out, Xue Li said that Su Zixian also saw the suit clearly, right?When Chen Jijiang waited for Zixian Tingxian to come back, he directly blocked the person, asked what kind of clothes he had, and then went to the Fashion Bureau to find out who had taken the same material.As for Zixian and Tingxian, even with Fugui and Dousha, they are locked in the small courtyard for the time being, and no one is allowed to come out.

It only took a moment to find out.

The goose yellow material of the jacket is too common, and it is used more.Zhang Baolin from Yilan Palace sent for the silk material of the gray-yellow flower on the lower skirt.

There is only a Baolin in the area, and there are only four palace people around him doing odd jobs.Without further ado, Chen Jijiang took all of them into custody and handed them over to Xu Shishui for interrogation.

Xu Shishui was also unambiguous, and asked the person who delivered the message from Yuqian after finishing the board.

The man was escorted to Chen Jijiang, Chen Jijiang was angry, he took a look at it and kicked it: "Eat the inside and outside!"

The eunuch's name was Wang Yan, and he was only in his early twenties.He was careful in everything he did on weekdays. Chen Jijiang felt that he was stable, so he just transferred him to study ink in front of His Majesty.

That's a great job!

"I missed me!" Chen Jijiang spat, Wang Yan was so frightened that he was about to cry, he hugged Chen Jijiang's leg in two steps and begged him: "My lord! My lord, please say a few words for the little one! Little one It’s just that I’ve lost my mind for a while! I only collected two liang of silver in total!”

Look at this shallow eyelid!
On the other side, Wei Chen, who was ordered to enter the palace, calmly went to Sydney's residence after hearing the emperor's ins and outs.

Really, when he was called in urgently at night, he thought something serious happened.Bringing a general banner - fifty people entered the palace, and another thousand households were waiting outside the imperial city.

And then that's it?

Wei Chen looked at the emperor gloomily for a while, and drank tea: "Mr. Chenghuai, how can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?"

The emperor supported his paw with his hands, even more plain than him: "Isn't that your god-sister?"

Wei Chen: "..."

Let's do it, for the sake of "being a younger sister", he will treat himself as "fake public affairs for personal gain by decree"!

After thinking about it, I didn't let those 50 people come in vain.Thirty people surrounded the small courtyard, and 20 people rushed in together. Don't let the casual momentum be in vain!

Zixian, Tingxian, Fugui, and Dousha, who were already anxious, were shocked.

Twenty imperial guards!Under the moonlight, the silver light is shining, the flying fish pattern on the chest stretches its teeth and claws, and there is an embroidered spring knife pinned to the waist.

From the two sides of the yard to the two sides of the main house, they stood neatly. The four of them did not dare to lift their heads when they were brought into the main hall for questioning.

Wei Chen sat leisurely on the main seat, and glanced at the four little carrot heads... more and more he felt that His Majesty was just walking him for fun.

Forget it, most of the work of their imperial guards is interrogation, and the interrogation of the four of them should be a small favor.

Wei Chen laughed, took off the knife and put it heavily on the case - with a "snap", all four of them trembled at the same time.

"The people in Yuqian are all upright, if I cut your face and neck, you will lose your jobs." He yawned, "Tell me, how does Zhang Baolin know what kind of clothes Sydney has?"

The four of them looked at each other and looked at each other with their necks curled up, but no one dared to say anything.

In an instant, a cold light flashed, and the knife that had been lying on the table had already touched Dou Sha's neck: "Say."

Dou Sha was so scared that he didn't even dare to hide behind!
With the cooperation of the two, this matter was all figured out before Sydney came back.

In Zichen Palace, it was Wang Yan who was greedy for money and broke the rules, while in Sydney, it was Dou Sha who was young and ignorant.

When Dou Sha finished collecting her salary and was walking back, she ran into a palace maid next to Zhang Baolin. The palace maid said she wanted to drink some tea, but she didn't feel guarded, so she led someone into the courtyard.

She didn't take it directly to the Sydney house, but she took him to her room to drink tea.The fabric needlework is everywhere, and the garment being made can be seen clearly.

The two of them knelt in the Zichen Palace, trembling, and Dou Sha's face lost all color: "Your servant... I don't know! The elder sister told the servant that she wanted some cloth to go back to make pouches and sachets, and the servant picked some for her... ..."

The emperor listened with a cold face, while Wei Chen yawned beside him.

After pondering for a moment, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "Chen Jijiang."

Chen Jijiang bowed, not daring to speak out.

"Go to Gong Zhengsi to get twenty boards."

"... Promise." Chen Jijiang murmured in agreement.The hatred in my heart even has the heart to eat that Wang Yan alive!

He hasn't been boarded since he became a superintendent, pain is a trivial matter, and Gong Zhengsi didn't dare to beat him to death, but it's really shameful!
"Dousha." The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "You go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. If you dare to talk to Xue Li tonight, there will be no tomorrow."

Dou Sha felt that his whole body had been soaked in ice water, and he couldn't breathe!

Finally, the emperor looked at Wang Yan, his expression unchanged, and he faintly smiled: "Chen Jijiang will figure it out."

After a group of people withdrew from Zichen Palace, Chen Jijiang immediately "handled" Wang Yan.

He gritted his teeth with hatred, and made up his mind to use Wang Yan to set rules for Yuqian.After thinking about it, I felt that the court ladies were timid, and no one could do it if they were really frightened, so they first cleaned up the eunuchs under their hands.

After finding a secluded place, dozens of eunuchs were summoned. Chen Jijiang opened his face coldly, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on Wang Yan: "I know the rules before the emperor."

No one dared to answer.

"Our family has already said that, we are all guarding our duty and are not allowed to say anything nonsense to the outside world. You are not only looking for the little money, but you are making us unlucky together." Chen Jijiang said all the teeth, with a smile on his face, "It's also true Luckily for you, our family has been eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name recently, so I spare your life."

There was joy on Wang Yan's pale face, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"

Chen Jijiang's next sentence was: "Come here, pull out his dishonest tongue and feed it to the dog."

"Da Da, my lord..." Wang Yan's face turned even paler than before, and after a while, when he was framed, a shrill cry burst out, shaking the whole courtyard terribly.

Chen Jijiang didn't listen any more, got up and left the hospital, Xu Shishui looked at it and followed.

Outside the courtyard gate, Chen Jijiang stopped: "Do you know why he is so miserable?"

Xu Shishui lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes: "Because I broke the imperial rules."

"Yes, that's right, just tell the people below." Chen Jijiang nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and said after weighing it, "Go and let go of the fact that she is Lord Wei's god-sister, especially Over there at Yilan Palace."

This kind of thing can't happen again, and the harem has to be more afraid.
