Especially after seeing the body of the eunuch in charge who was kicked to death, Li Hai was even more embarrassed to speak. Although this master usually treated the eunuchs a bit harshly, as long as he didn't violate his bottom line, he was still kind-hearted compared to previous masters. If he hadn't been so angry, he would never have been able to do this and kicked a eunuch in charge to death.
Except for the execution of several eunuchs in the Wende Hall when he was the prince, the Lord had almost never dealt with eunuchs harshly since he came to the throne. Moreover, he has always left the eunuchs in the harem to Concubine He and Grandma Wu. He doesn't care about it easily. Today, not only did he beat an eunuch to death, but he also personally kicked the man to death. It can be seen that the anger in this Lord's heart is strong.
When something like this happened, Li Hai knew that as the eunuch in charge of the harem, he could not escape his involvement. As long as I pay a little attention to this place, this kind of thing will never happen. His eyes were very poisonous, and he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the palace maid's clothes. Not only a palace maid is not qualified to wear these tribute silks, but even the female officials, except Grandma Wu, are not qualified to wear them.
The fabric that was supposed to be worn by the master appeared on the body of an ordinary palace maid. You didn't need to think about the trick in it to understand what was going on. Compared with Grandma Wu, is she worthy of this palace maid? Nowadays, there are slaves here who deceive their masters. The slaves are so bold that they use the fabrics given to their masters in the palace and privately pair them with the palace maids to make clothes.
Presumably, it would be no problem to put the master's monthly routine in his pocket. After all, Li Hai himself was a eunuch, and after staying in the palace for so many years, he still knew the virtues of the eunuchs in the palace. There are some things that he can figure out with his eyes closed without even asking. Not to mention the past dynasties, are there not many unpopular masters in the palace of this dynasty who are angry with the dirty eunuchs around them?
Li Hai doesn't know now whether he can save his life this time. Fortunately, this guy is smarter. Before coming, he sent someone to ask Concubine He and Grandma Wu to help intercede. Moreover, as the chief eunuch of Huang Qiong's dormitory, he knew Huang Qiong's temperament well. I know that at this time, the more I defend myself. No matter how correct the reason is, it will easily arouse the greater anger of the Lord in front of you.
Once this master thinks that he has no responsibility, he, the superintendent and eunuch, will be done with it. So after he arrived, he simply kowtowed and confessed, not even daring to say a word of defense. Of course, in my heart, I also scolded those eunuchs who wanted to die. Those eunuchs, don't they know that this master doesn't seem to care much about women, but in fact he misses his old love the most.
Back then, in the Prince of England's palace, a concubine named Hongxing cheated on her. In any prince's palace, even if he had no status, he would be beaten to death as a matter of course, but this lord just sent him away from home. As for these few, they are all family members of criminals. But Haolai also served this Lord for a period of time. If this master was not nostalgic for his old friendship, why did he come all the way from Xijing to the capital and still stay with him?
Even if he is not favored, he is not favored, and if he has no status, he still has no status, but he is still the master after all. Even if you are unwilling to do so, you will be sent here where you will never see your future. On weekdays, it is normal for some oil to get stuck on the Sui Ci, but it should not be done so excessively. The cloth distributed to the master is dared to be worn by a palace maid. Is that high-quality tribute Lingluo worn by a palace maid? I'm not afraid of shortening your life.
Not even if it's your opponent. This kind of slave bullying the master, these few are more honest because of their special status, and dare not say anything when they are bullied. If it were any other concubine, not mentioning others, even if you go to Grandma Wu, it would be enough to take your skin off. No matter how bad the master is, he is still a master, and no matter how good the slave is, he is still a slave. The master did not rest, so the slave drank tea.
Is this courage really enough? But at this moment, even though he hated these slaves so much in his heart, Li Hai didn't dare to fart at all. Fortunately, He Yao and Wu Ziyu rushed over without much effort after receiving the news. Especially after Wu Ziyu heard about this, she knew that she had been negligent. So even now, I am still feeling sore and weak, but I still insist on rushing over.
Seeing He Yao and Wu Ziyu arriving, Huang Qiong felt a little relieved. Although his face was still cold, his expression softened. After He Yao and Wu Ziyu arrived, they couldn't help but sigh when they saw the scene in front of them. There were melon seed peels on the ground, a few deck chairs and Hu stools, tea on the Hu table, and the eunuch in charge who was kicked to death, all telling them what happened.
After looking at Huang Qiongrang standing up, the eyes of the women were still red, wearing simple clothes. The palace maid kneeling on the ground was wearing tribute silk clothes that could only be worn by concubines with a high status. Despite his gentle nature, He Yao couldn't help but be so angry that her eyebrows stood up. She didn't expect that such a slave bullying the master would happen under her nose. This was a slap in her face.
Although she doesn't care much about face, after all, from being the wife of the housekeeper to being the concubine in charge of the Sixth Palace, He Yao has become increasingly dignified. Looking at the eunuchs and maids kneeling in front of them, He Yao said in a very cold tone: "I asked you to serve several masters, but you regard yourselves as masters. Being a slave is so arrogant that you don't take the master into consideration. It’s really a crime worthy of death.”
"Although they haven't had titles yet, they are still masters in the palace. Even if I meet you, I will call you sisters. Who gave you such courage to put yourself above the master? Above? Your Majesty has blocked us today. If His Majesty hadn't discovered it, how angry would these sisters have been with you? No matter how lenient I am, I won't be able to spare you."
"You guys, since you dare to disobey the rules in the palace, then there is no need for me to save any face for you. Go to the Criminal Punishment Department first, and each of you will receive thirty boards, so that you can all be sober. , wake up and understand what it means to be a state-owned and national law, and a family has its own rules. As for how you will be punished in the future, whether you will be punished with hard labor or something else, I will discuss it with the Queen and make a decision."
Just when He Yao asked the eunuch in charge of the Shenxing Department who came with him to drag a few people down. But Situ Huanshuang's voice came from behind: "Sister He has a generous temper, why should such evil slaves give them face? In my opinion, there is no need to wait for tomorrow, just take advantage of them today , set an example to the eunuchs and maids in this palace. Let them know what the rules are."
"Lest them in the future, if they think that their master is no longer favored by His Majesty, they can bully him unscrupulously. Sister He is kind-hearted and still feels pity for these slaves and refuses to punish them easily. But they still need to understand the rules that should be understood. Sister He has many things to do, and some things cannot be done so carefully. Some bold slaves can do anything."
"Today I just take this opportunity to let these slaves know what the rules are. So that other sisters, because Your Majesty has been missing a few times, will be considered unfavored by them and suffer from their filthy anger. Sister He wants to To accumulate blessings for the children, don't dirty your hands, I will be the evil one. Someone, drag the eunuch and the palace maid out of the courtyard."
Hearing the cold voice coming from behind, He Yao turned around and saw that Situ Huanshuang, Duan Jin, and Lin Hanyan had also come over at some point. Moreover, behind him were a large group of eunuchs and female officials from various palaces, as well as several stewards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But just when He Yao wanted to say something, Duan Jin and Lin Hanyan coincidentally shook their heads at her.
After Situ Huanshuang finished speaking, a group of wolves and tigers eunuchs dragged out several eunuchs who knew something was wrong and had been pleading, as well as the palace maid. In front of a group of eunuchs and female officials in charge, he raised the board and started to fight with it. Some people couldn't bear to watch it and wanted to close their eyes, but Duan Jin's voice came to their ears: "Anyone who closes his eyes will be sent to hard labor tomorrow."
This cold voice made people who wanted to close their eyes dare not close their eyes. They could only open their eyes wide and watch several people being beaten, from crying for mercy to their breath disappearing little by little. And looking at the scene in front of me of several people being beaten to bloody pieces and executed, even though they were the ones who gave the order. But Duan Jin and He Yao felt that Situ Huanshuang was shaking slightly when he held their hands.
Although Situ Huanshuang had several people die at his hands before marrying Huang Qiong. But after all, those people either had a way to die, or they were trying to take advantage of her. But no ordinary person has ever died in her hands. Although these eunuchs and the palace maid were extremely evil, they had done things like slaves and deceiving their masters. But after all, he is just an ordinary slave, and the crime he committed is not worthy of death.
According to the previous rules in the palace, except for the culprit who had been beaten to death by Huang Qiong, the rest of the people were assigned to do hard labor in thirty pieces. Although talking about this matter today, it was Situ Huanshuang who finally made the decision. But when it came to the final execution, Situ Huanshuang still couldn't bear to see this bloody scene. Holding the hands of the two people around him, he couldn't help but tremble.
Feeling Situ Huanshuang, holding his trembling hand, Duan Jin and He Yao looked at each other privately, and then looked at Situ Huanshuang, whose expression was cold but somewhat unbearable. But both of them understood that this girl was not a hard-hearted person after all. Although this imperial edict given by Jin was on the surface to establish her own prestige, both of them knew that it was actually to help He Yao.
Although He Yao was the wife of the housekeeper when she was in the Royal Palace of England. After Huang Qiong ascended the throne, she was canonized as a noble concubine immediately and was given the task of managing the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Just managing the inner palace of a prince's palace and managing the inner palace of the palace are completely different things. There are hundreds of times more people to manage. Although Wu Zizaiyu assists him on a daily basis, there are still many details that he cannot take care of.
In addition, I have been personally disciplining my two children. From time to time, I have to run to Yongfu Palace, but when I look at the third daughter raised by the old man and the empress, my energy has been exhausted to the extreme. As for Duan Jin, apart from showing up for big things, he didn't care about trivial matters at all. On weekdays, He Yao relied on these eunuchs and female officials to handle daily affairs.
The harem is not a paradise, there is not only intrigue between the masters. Most of those eunuchs and female officials are also the masters who serve food to others. If they believe that the master is not favored, slaves often bully the master. If we don't take this opportunity, we should clean up the harem. If those people are allowed to work together and deceive the superiors, the harem will be difficult to manage.
He Yao has a generous temperament, but she also insists on being fair in everything she does. Even if a slave generally makes a mistake, the punishment is not severe. Although she has always been in charge of affairs in the palace, the eunuchs and maids generally respect Concubine He. But compared to Duan Jin, who usually doesn't care about anything, his eyes are like a sword, which makes people more fearful. Most of the people in the palace were not very afraid of Concubine He.
