Chapter 9
As soon as the eunuch in the inner mansion left, Ayu couldn't wait to rush forward and pressed Yuci on the bed to rub her, and said, "Queen Empress, tell me, is that Qian Jin the same as Qian Zhi? Tell me quickly..."

Yu Ci was dizzy and tried desperately to push her away, but unfortunately the difference in sensitivity between the two was too great.

"How do I know... Ah Zhu, you quickly pull this girl away, she's going to die."

Azhu was about to jump up and make a fuss, but when she heard Yuci's shout, she realized that it was not the time, so she hurriedly hugged Ayu away, but Ayu hugged her back, and laughed like a madman, "I have a hunch , follow this money, and you will definitely see him."

Ah Zhu talked quickly, and said: "So what if I see it, Ah Lian is in his early thirties, maybe there are a bunch of children..."

Ayu said: "Why are you so disappointed..."

Only then did Ah Zhu remember that she had planned to use Cheng Alian to lure A Yu, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Then what is the money for?"

Ah Yu sniffed, blushed and said, "He is Ah Lian's official wife."

Yu Ci didn't follow her train of thought, and was already wondering where in the historical materials it was mentioned that Qian Jin was a woman.

As a result, Ah Yu continued to say: "He is simply a top-notch virtuous housemate. He has been thinking about how to send money to Ah Lian all day long, and he is afraid of tarnishing his name; he has been following him from Tongzhou to Lingnan and back to Bianjing." , never married a wife in his life; A Lian had no money to raise money for the war, so he directly took out all his belongings. Later, Cheng A Lian was unjustly killed by the emperor, and he wiped his neck to die for love... If he wasn't Cheng A Lian's wife, who else could be worthy rise!"

Yuci and Azhu looked at each other speechlessly, with crows flying overhead.

It was Yu Ci who had the strongest heart, "I also think he should be that Qian Zhi. Anyway, he is in Bianjing now, and I will grant you two days off another day, so you go out of the palace and help me take a look."

Ayu tugged at Azhu's hair and nodded vigorously, Azhu was held tightly by her and couldn't move, so angry she opened her mouth and bit her.

Seeing that these two people still had the lively and rambunctious characters they had back then, Xie Ci felt relieved when she thought that they had some clues about their going out of the palace.He said again, "Leave this in advance. Ayu, what happened to the question I asked you to ask in Mingxiu Palace in the morning?"

When Ayu heard about Qian Jin, she had already forgotten about Lin Xiuyi, but when she thought about it again, her expression immediately changed, "That girl of Lin Xiuyi's name is Biyuan, and she said that Lin Xiuyi has a good body. It's not such a terrible kneeling method, they also sent a cushion and a cloak to keep out the cold. When they brought her breakfast in the morning, they saw her curled up on the ground, bleeding heavily from her body, and thought she was having a violent menstruation. Eat After breakfast, other people in their temple went to see her and found that she had passed out, so they realized that something was wrong. The imperial doctor next door took her pulse, only to find that she had a fetal gas... It seemed that she was already pregnant. It's been many months."

Yu Ci was silent, and Ah Zhu was watching her silently from the side.Ayu looked at this, looked at that, stirred the handkerchief in his hand, lowered his eyelashes, and whispered: "My lady... I remember that she is the one with the emperor on July 27, and it has been almost two months. If it is true It's gone, so I should be able to find something... I looked through the skirt she had replaced and the blood on the ground, but I couldn't find it..."

She stood up fiercely,
Yu Ci stood blankly for a long while, feeling a dull pain in her heart, and said after a while: "Forget it, anyway, even if you really have a child, you won't be able to keep it, so don't pursue these matters."

Neither Azhu nor Ayu thought of pursuing it... They are not as conservative as Miu Ci, and they only have a vague concept of "children".

Miu Ci's words sounded like she was trying to convince herself.

Because of this incident, the palace continued to be under pressure throughout the day, and neither Azhu nor Ayu dared to make too much noise.

In the afternoon, Yu Ci ordered someone to go to the inner mansion to get the roster, and she checked all the information of those people in Mingxiu Palace.He also counted the maids and eunuchs in each palace.

After Emperor Yingzong came to the throne, he released all the maids in the palace who were over 22 years old, and it was not until the 12th year of Longxi that there was a show in Jingdong and Huainan.A total of less than a hundred people were selected.

Four years since the emperor ascended the throne, there has been no draft, so the size of the palace is very shabby. There are only more than two hundred court ladies on the list. If they are divided equally, there are less than ten people in each courtyard.There are ten court ladies who serve her alone in the Cici Palace, and there are two to thirty people who do other chores.Besides those around the emperor, there are only three or four people in each yard, and probably they can only do some weeding, dust removal and other things.

Xie Ci asked what was going on, and a female officer at the bottom said: "My lady, the internal affairs register is regularly revised every March. After the revision, it is inevitable that some people will suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death, or the master temporarily forgives them and let them go home. These are only recorded in the scratch book. It will be transcribed and revised again in March of the next year. When the draft is revised, it is inevitable that some pages will be missing or even lost, and the records may also be incomplete. Therefore, there are always some discrepancies between the roster and the person."

Yu Ci didn't want to care about it at first, but what this person said was clearly bullying her as a newcomer, treating her like a child who didn't understand anything.Then he retorted, "The roster differs from the person, so when distributing monthly silver, is it by person or by roster?"

The female officer was startled for a moment, but did not speak.

Yu Ci glanced around, and happened to see A Ping standing on the side with her head down, and said, "A Ping, have you been in the palace for four years? You come and tell her."

A Ping glanced at Yuci in surprise, then lowered his head again, and replied respectfully, "My Majesty, the internal affairs will be distributed to the aunts in each palace according to the roster, and the aunts will be distributed to each of them."

Yu Ci smiled and nodded at her, then turned to the female officer, and asked, "Auntie, where are the extra ones you said?"

The female officer hastily lowered her head and said, "I don't know..." Then she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Yu Ci was afraid of being kowtowed, and she was most afraid that blood would splash when kowtowed, so she hurriedly said, "Okay, I don't blame you!"

She can't teach others, seeing that she hasn't said anything yet, the person who is not a few years younger than her mother has already frightened into such a state, and can't speak strong words, so she can only finish it hastily, saying: "There is a saying It's called 'Let go of the past'. In the past, no one in the palace was in charge, and no one told you to obey the rules. Therefore, I will not track down how much you swallowed in the past, and I don't need you to return it. Those of you who have done bad things should learn again Those who are well-behaved should learn the rules, and those who should copy the scriptures to make amends should copy the scriptures. I am not a difficult person to get along with, as long as you are all well-behaved and diligent in the future, naturally nothing will happen."

Seeing that the forehead of the one who kowtowed earlier was dripping blood, Yu Ci said again: "If there is nothing else, you all step back."

After those people left, Yu Ci still felt uncomfortable, so she said to Ah Zhu: "You take some ointment and bandages, go and wrap her."

Ah Zhu turned over quickly, and dragged Ah Yu to chase after her.As a result, the two came back after a while, Ayu was okay, but Azhu was bored.Yu Ci asked her what was going on, and Ah Zhu said: "When we went, Ah Ping was bandaging her. The man pulled her daughter, who was older, and whose daughter was shorter. As a result, when we mentioned you, she knelt down and kowtowed..."

Yu Ci said: "She probably thought that I was going to severely punish her for her prestige, so she became so frightened. It's okay. Just bandage her up, don't think too much."

Ayu said: "Ah Ping really treats servants as well as it is written in the book, she is beautiful and gentle."

Ah Zhu opened her mouth and said: "I think she can buy people's hearts!"

Ayu asked puzzled, "Why are you so loud?"

Azhu turned her head away and ignored her, pulled her tenderly and said: "Your Majesty, be careful, don't always slow down others."

Yu Ci understands her feelings, and doesn't find it funny—this girl really protects her shortcomings to no end.He said again, "Let's not talk about Aping, I think the female official's age must have served the concubines of Emperor Yingzong, you can help me formulate the words when you have time."

Seeing that Ah Zhu's complexion was not good, Ah Yu was anxious to change the subject, and hurriedly answered: "Well, it's easy to say, empress, what do you want to talk about?"

Let Ayu go, and it would be good if he doesn't get tricked out of his foundation.But Yu Ci didn't want to discourage her, so she said, "Of course it's about the meditation hall at the back. Noble Concubine, aren't you curious?"

Ayu said: "Ah...you don't tell me, I still forgot. I know the imperial concubine." She thought for a while, and said, "She was a court lady next to the late emperor, and she was 13 years older than the late emperor. The two of them were originally Free love, but the late emperor's grandparents did not agree. In order to separate them, three beauties were selected for the first emperor's national draft. One of them was established as the crown princess. She married the first emperor and had a child in her arms. Zhu Guier knew , and gave her a chronic poison, once the emperor's grandfather died, the crown princess and the child would all be reimbursed."

Yu Ci was taken aback, she didn't expect that person to be so vicious.

"In the end, Zhu Gui'er still didn't become a concubine, so the late emperor swore that he would never set foot in the concubine's room. Later, the two quarreled, and the late emperor was angry with several court ladies. Zhu Gui'er, in front of him, put These people lined up and pushed them under the rockery..."

Yu Ci couldn't bear to hear this, and said, "To make a long story short, in short.

The imperial concubine is cruel and ruthless, and will not let go of any girl who was contaminated by the former emperor.Therefore, every court lady in the palace regarded the emperor's luck as death.

Also because of this reason, Concubine Shu was afraid to take abortion pills secretly after she became pregnant. As a result, the imam was so hard-pressed that she was not killed.One day, a eunuch named Na Yan combed his hair and saw that he had white hair on his temples. He sighed, "I am young, but I have no children under my knees. God will not protect me."Nayan cried and knelt down and said: Your Majesty has a son.Only then did the imam see the light of day.

But Concubine Shu and Nayan knew that Zhu Guier would not let them go, one swallowed gold and the other hanged himself, and both committed suicide.

After the imam appeared, Zhu Gui'er became more irritable and vicious, torturing the servants all day to vent their anger.Yuan Hong went to see her, but she shut the door and refused to drive, even if she died.Yuan Hong beat the emperor for this, and even almost abolished the prince.

Later, the two finally tossed and gave birth to a son.The child was born with the etiquette of the prince, but unfortunately, he died in less than two months due to his poor fortune.Zhu Gui'er couldn't get sick because of this.

Yuan Hong cried and knelt beside her bed, offered medicine himself, ginseng and deer antler for her to eat as rice, and even chased and killed the emperor with a knife to solve her knot, but he still couldn't save her.

She died in the winter of the 11th year of Longxi. Yuan Hong only remembered that he had a young son under his knees. After working hard for a while, he died within half a year.

After the imam's death, many people wrote to the emperor to investigate Zhu Gui'er's crimes of forcing the Queen Mother to death, poisoning the Crown Princess and several other concubines and quasi-princes.But the emperor only said that she is his father's true love, and if we pursue her crimes, it will only make his father's spirit in heaven restless, and the imam will always miss her until his death.
