Chapter 32
After Liu Chongrong noticed what the maids had on their hands, she never made any disobedient move. Although rationally speaking, she also knew that after she went through the set of rules in the palace, they
Most likely, I won’t dare to do anything to myself in private.
After all, she is a Chongrong second only to the concubine, and the Liu family behind her is not a vegetarian. Although the Queen Mother is powerful, she must not do anything to her directly for the sake of the Liu family's face.
After that, Liu Chongrong followed Concubine Ye calmly to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
When they arrived at Cining Palace, Liu Chongrong saluted the Queen Mother.
However, she had been kneeling on the ground for a while, but the Queen Mother in front of her did not show any sign of letting her get up.
Liu Chongrong knelt down, with cold sweat on her face. She felt increasingly uneasy, but she didn't know what she had done wrong, so she could only grit her teeth and kneel down.
She didn't know how long she had been kneeling. Just when Liu Chongrong couldn't hold on any longer and her body was shaking and about to collapse, the lofty Queen Mother sitting in front of her said slowly: "Liu Chongrong, please get up first."
Liu Chongrong looked pale, stood up, and forced himself to pretend to be calm: "...I wonder why the Queen Mother called the concubines here this time?"
"It's not a big deal." The Queen Mother did not answer her question directly. She just smiled, looking at her with the same amiable smile as before, and said: "Liu Chongrong, the batch you gave to the Ai family last time
The material is very good, and the Ai family liked it very much when they saw it."
Liu Chongrong felt like vomiting blood after hearing this.
You should show it if you like me!
It's okay if you don't express your feelings. It's not like you're still taking her here for no reason.
However, the words the Queen Mother spoke slowly the next moment suddenly made her realize, and all the blood on her face disappeared.
I only heard the Queen Mother say: "The Ai family ordered people to find such materials in the palace, but unexpectedly they said that there is no such materials in the palace."
Liu Chongrong vaguely understood what she wanted to say. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother. He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from showing any fear. He just smiled stiffly and said: "Your Majesty, the material was brought into the palace by the concubines.
It’s just what I found. If you like it, I’ll just ask my family to bring it to you.”
"Really?" The Queen Mother was not fooled by her words. She just sneered suddenly and said a few words concisely and clearly: "From Sichuan and Sichuan, I just arrived in the capital recently."
"Liu Chongrong, what do you think?"
Liu Chongrong knew that he couldn't hide it, so he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Empress, just go around the concubine this time! The concubine just asked the family to send her in early, what's the big deal?"
"That's so nice! What's the big deal?" The Queen Mother sneered and told the facts slowly: "If the Ai family remembers correctly, the clothing workshop where this batch of materials comes from is specially forged for the palace.
The clothes are made of material, right? You are just an ordinary person, but you dare to use it in front of the Ai family and the Queen; you Liu family, no matter how good they say, are just ministers, but now you dare to use the royal things privately."
"The Ai family sees that if you continue like this, you may even have the heart to rebel!"
Cold sweat broke out on Liu Chongrong's face. Seeing that the Queen Mother had actually escalated to the matter of "rebellion", she saw that the Queen Mother could no longer pretend to be calm. She looked frightened and kept begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there has never been anyone in the Liu family.
Despite such a rebellious and unscrupulous heart, the Liu family has always been loyal only to the emperor, you know it well!"
However, the Queen Mother ignored Liu Chongrong's begging for mercy and just said in a cold tone: "You don't have to say anymore. The emperor will decide for himself whether the Liu family has the intention to rebel. But you know that the palace does not allow people to have sex with people outside the palace in private.
However, you have to violate this palace rule. The Ai family must punish you, otherwise there is no guarantee that you will bring cholera poison to the harem next time!"
"Passed down, Liu Chongrong was demoted to Liu Concubine."
…
After being demoted, Liu Bin thought that was the end.
I never thought that just one day later, I heard my maid rush into the palace in a panic, and even her voice changed its tone, saying: "My queen is not good! She is not good!" There is news from outside the palace.
Come in and say yes..."
"All the money the Liu family has swallowed in Sichuan and Sichuan in the past few years has been found out."
When Liu Bin heard the news, she almost couldn't stand up. Her legs suddenly went weak. The disbelief and panic on her face were intertwined, making her face deformed and looking extremely terrifying. The look on her face
Her expression changed, she was breathing heavily, and her pupils were dilated due to fear, making her a little more frightening and gloomy.
"How could this happen?" Liu Bin bit her lower lip, looked up at Ying Hui, gritted her teeth and said, "Did you understand clearly? Dad is always cautious in doing things, how could he be caught!"
Yes, how could it be?
I have been greedy like this for several years, how could I be caught all of a sudden? Yes, I must have made a mistake.
"Are you sure this Liu family is our Liu family?" Liu Bin clung to Ying Hui's sleeve as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Yinghui was suddenly grabbed by her sleeves and was startled. Then she replied with a trembling voice and a hint of sobs: "Your Majesty... this is our Liu family!"
"But how could it be?" Liu Bin's eyes were blank and she said unconsciously: "We are obviously with the Yang family. We are obviously with the Yang family and bought many people from aristocratic families..."
"That's right..." Yinghui carefully glanced at Liu Bin who could not accept the fact, and said: "So, those families who were bribed by us, those families who hid evil and evil with us, were all brought up by their roots.
"
Liu Bin knelt on the ground, unable to find her thoughts for a long time. She said in a dumb voice: "Help me get up, I want to go to find Concubine Shu. There is no other way. I can only go to find her at this time."
Concubine Shu helped."
Ying Hui fell silent in a strange way, and then whispered: "Mother, you may not know that the Yang family... was also part of the uprooted family."
-
Wei Huai'an, who was in Fengyi Palace, was still lazily leaning on the back of the chair, listening to Zhiluo next to her telling her about the news that something had happened to the Yangliu family, with an unexpectedly cunning smile on his face.
.
She slightly raised her chin towards Zhiluo, raised her eyebrows and said, "Just wait and see. After Concubine Liu knew something happened to the Liu family, she would definitely want to go find Concubine Yang Shu. Then she would find out that something happened to the Yang family too."
Moreover, it was probably the two of them who came together to exchange information and discovered that, for some reason, their families always got the best of them.
Every time the Yangliu family does something to save themselves, they will be discovered the next moment.
Wei Huaian is very satisfied with the result.
This can be regarded as the first collaboration between her and Jun Zexi.
Jun Zexi was responsible for sending people out to investigate the case, and then wrote down the places where the investigation got stuck, and Wei Huai'an read the files. Then this incident seemed to outsiders that Jun Zexi's people seemed to have followed.
Just like the eyes of the sky, corrupt people can be discovered no matter what they do.
-
Sui Minghuan, who received the news on the other side, was also very pleased with the result.
In her opinion, this incident was her taking the initiative to tell the Queen Mother that something was wrong with Concubine Liu, which aroused the Queen Mother and the Emperor's suspicion of Concubine Liu and the Liu family behind her, and finally led to the current trouble between the Yang and Liu families.
Sui Minghuan saw that the two people who were most serious against her at the beginning were in bad luck, and she was very happy in her heart. Then she prepared the meals she cooked and prepared to go to Mingyue Sheng Palace.
——After the palace banquet, Mingyue Sheng also discovered that she was not as simple as she thought, and unilaterally refused to interact with her.
Sui Minghuan was very sad about this.
How can this work? Mingyue Sheng is the most important character in the script that I will arrange next.
