Chapter 1342 She Remembered This Resentment
From now on, we must keep a closer eye on the people who come before the emperor!
As for Yikun Palace...
Although Your Majesty has not punished Concubine Dun, your Majesty's intentions are obvious after this incident.
The price that Concubine Dun paid for the "chance encounter" she had with silver last night was a bit too high.
outside.
The eunuchs in charge of this matter acted swiftly, dragging Xiao Wuzi to a secluded place beside the palace road and executing him according to the rules.
The heavy board fell on my body again and again, and the severe pain of torn flesh swept over me!
Xiao Wuzi gritted his teeth, veins bulged on his forehead, and his face was covered with cold sweat mixed with tears.
But what was even more unbearable than the physical pain was the resentment and unwillingness in his heart!
why? !
Why? !
They both served in the imperial court, and whenever there was good news from any of the palaces, Eunuch Li would always assign Xiao Huizi to announce it with a smile on his face. Xiao Huizi would always take home a pocketful of reward money, her smile showing from ear to ear.
Whenever a master offended the emperor or did something unlucky that caused him to fall out of favor, Eunuch Li would frown and push him out.
Not only did he not earn a penny from each trip, he also had to cater to people's moods and was even the target of anger and scolding.
We're both on the same job, so why should he be left with nothing good and have to shoulder all the bad things?!
Yes, he accepted the money from the Yiku Palace and revealed the whereabouts of Your Majesty.
But in the palace, from the chief eunuch to the maid who sweeps the floor, who doesn't sell some insignificant information in private for money?
There is only so much money to be made in the emperor's service. If they don't rely on these extra incomes, when will these low-ranking eunuchs be able to save enough money to build connections and secure a better future?
Why did he have to suffer such bad luck?!
Just because I ran into His Majesty's gun this time?
Is it because he doesn't have the favor of Eunuch Li like Xiao Huizi?
After being beaten with twenty boards, he was half dead and was banished to Xinzheku...
That's no place for people at all.
Doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, eating the worst food, and never getting ahead!
His life is completely ruined...
The board continued to fall mercilessly, and Xiao Wuzi's eyes went dark. The strong resentment and despair almost swallowed him!
He clenched his fists tightly and swallowed back the overwhelming indignation and questioning.
But... he really hates it!!!
Many people in the palace knew that Xiao Wuzi was severely punished and banished to Xinzheku.
Everyone who served in front of the emperor felt a tightness in their hearts!
Your Majesty's move is clearly intended to punish.
Those past activities of secretly accepting benefits from various palaces and leaking some insignificant information suddenly became extremely hot...
For a long time, the palace maids and eunuchs in front of the emperor were all silent and kept their hands and feet extremely clean.
No matter how the masters of the various palaces hinted, hinted, or even promised huge profits, it was difficult to pry open their mouths and find out the emperor's exact whereabouts.
As a result, the concubines in the harem who were hoping to "accidentally" encounter the emperor and win a bit of favor were suddenly like headless flies.
They were anxious and depressed, but they had no idea what to do, and dared not show it at all, so they could only sigh inwardly.
Of course, all this is a story later.
……
Yikun Palace.
Odazi came back hurriedly from outside, with panic still on his face. He came close to Princess Dun, lowered his voice, and reported all the information he had heard.
How little Wuzi was beaten with twenty boards and banished to Xinzheku.
The situation in the imperial court is very tense now.
Concubine Dun was facing the bronze mirror, trying on a kingfisher hairpin. When she heard the words, her fingers trembled violently, and the sharp end of the gold hairpin almost scratched her scalp.
She slammed the hairpin on the dressing table with a "snap" sound, turned around abruptly, her beautiful face instantly covered with gloomy clouds, and her chest heaved violently with anger.
"That's unreasonable!"
Concubine Dun's voice was filled with incredible anger. "The palace servants who normally serve the emperor are fine if they receive money and leak information, but it happened to me! Who are you trying to show off to?"
"After this incident, who among those servants who flatter the powerful will dare to give me even a little face in the future?!"
Xiao Tianzi made a bitter face and cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"This servant...this servant advised us last night that since His Majesty is with the Imperial Consort, we really shouldn't go..."
Princess Dun suddenly interrupted Xiao Tianzi, her eyes blazing with anger: "Shouldn't you go?"
"Your Majesty was clearly not angry last night, and he treated me and A Jing with a friendly expression. How come his expression changed overnight?"
"It must be that after I left last night, the Imperial Noble Consort was acting hypocritically, spreading slanderous words before Your Majesty, and trying to deceive Him!"
The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that this was the case. Her tone grew more certain, tinged with the anger of being plotted against. "If the Imperial Noble Consort hadn't been instigating this, why would Your Majesty punish the servants so severely for such a trivial matter? Isn't this a slap in the face of me?"
When Xiao Tianzi heard this, he also felt that it was very likely, and quickly agreed: "Your Majesty is right, it must be so!"
"The Imperial Concubine may appear magnanimous on the surface, but she must be holding a grudge against you for wanting His Majesty to leave last night..."
Concubine Dun sneered repeatedly, digging her nails into her palms fiercely: "Humph! What a virtuous and generous Imperial Concubine!"
"You appear tolerant to His Majesty's face, but secretly you're goading him into this tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys! You've punished Little Wuzi, warned the people before the Emperor, and slapped me in the face."
"What a trick, what a hypocrite!"
The feeling of injustice in her heart grew stronger.
We are both His Majesty's women, so why can the Imperial Noble Consort monopolize His Majesty's favor and not leave any chance for others?
Why should I end up in such an embarrassing situation just because I tried to fight for it?
"My Lady, that...that little Wuzi..."
Xiao Tianzi observed Concubine Dun's expression and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to secretly pay some money and have someone at the Xinzheku look after him?"
"After all, he got into trouble because of us..."
When Concubine Dun heard this, her eyes flickered and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "Confused!"
"Little Wuzi was punished by His Majesty's decree. If I were to take care of him now, wouldn't that be openly opposing His Majesty?"
"Do you think His Majesty's dissatisfaction with me isn't enough?"
Concubine Dun paused and continued, "Never mind! He was just unlucky and got caught in a knife's edge."
"This matter ends here. Do not mention it again, and do not do anything about it in private. Do you understand?"
Xiao Tianzi's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes! I understand, and I will never dare to act rashly."
Concubine Dun picked up the golden hairpin again and inserted it into her bun in front of the mirror.
Looking at the face in the mirror, which was thinner but still beautiful, her eyes were dark and unclear.
She could only swallow this anger.
But she remembered this grudge!
