Shangfu Bureau——
All the embroiderers in the wardrobe room gathered in the main hall. Fang Rumeng, wearing a purple female official's court uniform, stood on the high platform in front with sharp eyes.
The embroiderers didn't know why, so they whispered to each other: "Why did Fang Siyi call us all here? The imperial concubine's phoenix robe is still short of a few stitches!"
"The first thing to do when a new official takes office is that she has just been named the Chief of Staff, so naturally she has to show off her authority. The phoenix robe is just a few stitches away. She has nothing to lose by letting us stay up all night. We are under the eaves, so we have to keep our heads down. "
"You can't say that. Fang Siyi also has real skills. She dyed the Xiaguang satin that can rival the beauty of Fuguang brocade. Our dressing room has surpassed Si Zhen's room by many. Fang Siyi taught us There are indeed more things than Si Yi before!"
"Yes, it's not unreasonable for the Imperial Concubine to trust her. She has some real abilities."
"Just flatter her! Let's see if she will be promoted to you as a female historian and a concubine?"
"you……"
"Quiet!"
Fang Rumeng already had a large number of followers. She just stood there to intimidate everyone. If there were any unnecessary words, someone would say it for her.
Several female historians held rulers in their hands and walked into the embroiderers. As they walked, some people told them the purpose of gathering them today: "I believe you have heard about the incident that happened in Yanqing Palace some time ago. Now The Imperial Concubine wants to find out who helped make the shoes, socks, and clothes for the women in the mute slave's house? If you tell me now, Fang Siyi will not care if you use your free time to take on private jobs. But if you don't confess now, But if you are found out, according to the rules, you will be beaten and then sent home."
"Whether you want to turn over the past, or are worried that one day you will be found out about making extra money, and you will be kicked out of the palace in disgrace, it all depends on you."
Some of the embroiderers looked normal, some felt guilty, and some had matters that had nothing to do with them.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
There were two embroiderers in the crowd who were shaking and looking abnormal and were pushed to the ground by the female historians: "What are you afraid of? All the clothes found to belong to Lu Yin in the mute slave's room were made by you?"
Otherwise, why are you so nervous?
All the embroiderers didn't want to get into trouble. After the two of them were pushed out, they dispersed to both sides, leaving the two in the center.
Only then did Fang Rumeng speak: "Do you want to say it yourselves, or do you want me to ask someone from the Xuanjing Division to interrogate it? I heard that the Xuanjing Division transported the piranha from Yanqing Palace into their dungeon. Do you want to try it? Does it taste like a piranha eating flesh and blood?”
The two embroiderers were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy: "Fang Siyi, please spare your life, we...we didn't know that the mute slave was a perverted murderer! He gave us some gold and silver and said he wanted to make some clothes and shoes for Lu Yin. Socks, Lu Yin is the eldest palace maid of Concubine De, we only think that he wants to please Lu Yin and get some favors from Concubine De, so we help him do it, we are not his accomplices."
Case solved!
Those clothes were not stolen by the mute slave from Lu Yin, but he asked someone to make them and give them to Lu Yin.
These two embroiderers, whose families were not well-off, finally got through selection and entered the palace. They probably wanted to supplement their family income more, so they took on private work in their spare time.
Fang Rumeng helped the person up: "Why didn't you tell the Xuanjing Division when they were investigating the case?"
Xiu Niang burst into tears: "We... we are afraid, he... he has killed so many people, if... if we are taken away as accomplices, I heard that the punishment of the Xuanjing Division is very terrible, it will ...It will kill people.”
How can little embroiderers like them, who have no status and no power, dare to admit that they have contact with mute slaves?
"Isn't it still a pervert to give shoes, socks and clothes to a woman? He is old enough to be Lu Yin's father, but he is an old eunuch and dares to think of the personal maid next to Concubine De. Lu Yin is really unlucky enough to refuse. An old eunuch’s advances will also be killed.”
"I see that the maids in the palace have been hiding from the eunuchs recently! Are they afraid that if they are spotted, they will be killed if they don't confront them?"
"It's too scary. Concubine De is so pitiful. She was stabbed by the old eunuch. Yesterday I saw Concubine De being moved out of Hexi Palace. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs carried her on a stretcher."
"Why did I hear that she was driven out by magpies? Oh my god, I don't even admire the imperial concubine, but I admire magpies. Really, she is so powerful!"
"Then the Imperial Concubine is supporting her? If she didn't have such a good master, do you think she would dare? She would die without even knowing it!"
Those who were always dissatisfied with Jiang Xinyue had to admit at this time that she was an unparalleled good mistress.
When the eldest maid next to Concubine Li hit Shuangsheng, she also brought Shuangsheng to the door directly. She was not the imperial concubine at that time!
As a slave, don't you hope to meet a master who protects your shortcomings like this?
When everyone goes to see Fang Rumeng, it is not difficult to understand why she has been loyal to the imperial concubine from the beginning to the end.
For two and a half years, ordinary people could not even imagine the position of head of the wardrobe department. If it were not for the promotion of the imperial concubine, she would not be able to sit in this position even if she was extremely capable.
If you don’t have enough qualifications and no background, you still have to endure the qualifications.
The two embroiderers went to the Xuanjing Division and told the truth about the matter. In the afternoon, there was a rumor in the palace that Lu Yin had hooked up with the mute slave, defrauding him of all his money but not staying with him. That's why the mute slave was angered and sent her to the palace. Pushed down the mountain and fell to death.
In this regard, Jiang Xinyue said that it is true that making pornographic rumors about girls will happen in any era. This is the evil of human nature itself.
They can all have all kinds of opinions about a eunuch, but if this is a guard, they don't know what the story will be like.
However, everyone just looked at Lu Yin's affairs with amusement and did not pay much attention to it. The one who worried most about everyone was the Sixth Prince.
I heard that he was infected with wind and cold and was a bit seriously ill. The sixth prince's nanny used to take the sixth prince out for a walk every day, but he hasn't been seen in the past few days.
Everyone in the palace has received the news that the emperor will hold a ceremony for the conquest of the queen in two days, and the phoenix robes have been embroidered.
The altar at the Suyi Gate is also being decorated. The auspicious day calculated by Qin Tian has been known to all civil and military officials for a long time.
Time is running out, and even if someone wants to object, there is no time to speak up.
The emperor was now very cunning, leaving no room for rebuttal for the courtiers, and caught them off guard.
The ceremony for enthroning the queen was imminent, but it was not a good sign that the sixth prince was so seriously ill at this time.
Maybe in order to take care of the Sixth Prince, the ceremony of conferring the title of queen will have to be postponed.
The few days of postponement were enough for Concubine De and Duke Cheng to do a lot of things.
