Concubine Li was quickly sent back to the palace, but Yuan Zhi did not relieve his anger.

He insisted on severely punishing Concubine Li, but Empress Zhou kept interceding for Concubine Li, and in the end, Yuan Zhi had to hand over the decision to Su Youyi, after all, this matter had the most to do with Su Youyi.

Su Youyi only decided to send Concubine Li back to the palace, as for whether she wants to demote or enter the cold palace, it depends on Yuan Zhi's idea.

"The emperor is angry."

Empress Zhou personally served him a cup of tea, "Punishing Concubine Li is a small matter, the important thing is not to let Concubine Li's matter ruin the reputation of the emperor and the reputation of the queen mother." ”

"I don't care about any reputation, even if it makes people think that I am unkind to the harem concubines? As for the Queen Mother......"

Motoji sighed slightly and didn't continue.

He can not care about the evaluation of him by outsiders, but he can't care about Su Youyi's reputation.

When Empress Zhou saw that he had figured it out, she softly comforted, "If the emperor really doesn't want to see Concubine Li, it's a big deal to snub her." Or wait for this limelight to pass and then find a way to deal with her, and you can't deal with it now to arouse suspicion. The concubine has already been instructed by the palace people, because there are some affairs in the palace that no one can supervise, so I asked Concubine Li to return to the palace to supervise for me, the emperor thinks it is so good? ”

Yuan Zhi nodded, very pleased, "You still think about it." Concubine Li's courage was also too great, and her hands and claws were stretched out to the queen mother's side. Not only did she show her own stupidity, but she also made a disgrace. I don't want such a concubine, after the harem, you can find a random reason to dispose of her. ”

"The concubine understands."

Empress Zhou comforted him, "The dragon well before the rain that was only harvested this year, the emperor drank a cup to dissipate his anger." ”

……

Yuan Zhi rested at Empress Zhou's place for a while, and his anger gradually subsided.

Catching a glimpse of the two books that Empress Zhou put on the couch, she couldn't help but pick them up and flip through them, "What has the Empress been reading recently?" I heard that you still go to school a lot these days, sometimes to listen to lectures, sometimes to attend classes. ”

"yes."

Queen Zhou smiled: "It's funny when it comes to this." knew that the concubines often went to the school, and they and the concubines were also very yearning, and they all wanted to go with the concubines. The concubine took them to attend the class, but who knew that only Min Guiren really persevered. He Concubine herself was impatient to listen, but always deduced that the little princess was clingy and inseparable from her. ”

Yuan Zhi finally showed a smile, "Don't you know the temperament of the concubine?" She's not a reading material. As for Min Guiren, although she is of a different race, her self-motivation to study and learn is commendable. ”

"The concubine said the same thing."

Empress Zhou said: "Min Guiren often goes to lectures with his concubines, and when he reads or encounters difficult problems, he comes to ask his concubines, or when he goes to school, he asks Mr. Ji." The concubines are very grateful to the emperor and the queen mother every time they look at her, if it weren't for the emperor and the queen mother's studious and heavy learning, plus the leniency of the harem concubines, we would have nowhere to ask even if we were willing to study. ”

When Motoji heard her say this, he became more and more relieved.

Emperor Zhou is really a person who is generally sensible, she enjoys the power of reading or riding and archery that she could not enjoy as a concubine in the past, but she is not arrogant at all, but grateful.

He couldn't help but put his arms around Queen Zhou and said, "Now that I think about it, the queens and concubines that the queen mother chose for me are all good." It's that Concubine Li doesn't like it, and it's not too out of line. The queen mother's eyes are like torches, and I should also be grateful. ”

……

After lunch, Yuanzhi came out of the Xinghua Spring Pavilion and prepared to go back to the main hall to approve the folds.

Before he arrived, he suddenly saw a little palace maid coming out of the bamboo forest in front of him, kneeling on the road and kowtowing repeatedly, "Your Majesty, the slave has a secret letter to hand over to the emperor, please take a look at the emperor!" ”

"Bold!"

Yuanzhi sat on the sedan chair, and Xiao Kiko stepped forward and scolded loudly, "Don't you want to die?" Dare to stop the emperor's royal car? ”

"Your Majesty!"

The little palace maid shrank cowardly, her voice was broken, she trembled and held up a letter high, "I beg the emperor to take a look, the slave maid has something important to report, please ask the emperor to take a look!" ”

Yuan Zhi looked at the timid appearance of this little palace maid, and she really didn't look like she would stop the sedan chair and report it, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.

He said in a deep voice: "Where are you serving the palace maid?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid is serving in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion!"

Changchun Immortal Hall?

In this way, she is either Concubine Li's person or Min Guiren's person.

Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Xiao Kiko, who suddenly realized, "Come on, bring this palace maid back and interrogate it slowly!" ”

The scene that happened on the path by the bamboo forest quickly calmed down.

No one in the imperial garden noticed this, and the little palace maid was taken back to the main hall and knelt on the ground.

Xiao Kiko took the secret letter from her hand, and after careful inspection, confirmed that it was not poisoned, then opened it and handed it to Motoji.

When Motoji saw it, he instantly frowned.

He looked at the little palace maid kneeling down, his eyes were not good, "You said that you were serving in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, so are you serving Concubine Li or Noble Min?" ”

"The slave and maid are serving Concubine Li, and this secret letter is the secret letter that Concubine Li asked the slave to hand over to the emperor! Concubine Li said that she knew that she was guilty, and she was willing to make meritorious contributions to her crimes! ”

Xiao Kiko was listening and frowned.

What is written in this secret letter, Concubine Li actually said that she wanted to rely on this crime to make meritorious service?

He wanted to see it, but Motoji didn't mean to show the letter, but crumpled it and threw it on the table.

He snorted coldly, "Concubine Li asked you to hand it over to me?" Does she want to make meritorious contributions, or does she want to take the opportunity to drag people into the water? Is the content of this letter true? ”

At the end of the words, the tone couldn't help but be a little heavier.

Xiao Kiko was a little surprised, he obviously felt that Motoji was angry, but he didn't know why he was angry.

This made Xiao Kiko very anxious.

The little palace maid threw herself to the ground in horror, "The slave doesn't know, the slave really doesn't know!" The slave maid just sent a letter for Concubine Li, and the slave didn't know what was in the letter! It's just that the mother told the slave maid that it was a big matter! ”

"Huh."

Motoji snorted coldly, not knowing whether to believe it or not for a while.

If Concubine Li knows that she has no future, so she wants to drag someone into the water or want to make meritorious contributions, then that's it.

If she framed others just to atone for her sins, then he could no longer tolerate her......

Motoji pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Jizi: "Take her to the secret room for me, and you are not allowed to let her out without my will, and she is not allowed to talk to anyone." As for you-"

"You go to the queen in person, I have something important for you to pass on to the queen."

Xiao Kiko hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Motoji beckoned to him mysteriously, signaling him to come over with his ear.
