When the king left, the Empress Dowager Chen looked around and said, ”The things that her majesty has said just now, no one is allowed to reveal it.”
palace maid said in unison. Empress Dowager Li raised her teacup, her heart belonged to Royal Elegance, and her mother and son shared the same thoughts.
”You mean one of the five? ”Who is it?” Empress Dowager Li asked.
”It's Imperial Consort Candidate Zhou.” Palace Manager Cui said. Actually, neither of the two empress dowager was surprised by this. After all, from the looks of it, Zhou Yuting seemed to be more tyrannical than Liu Yue.
Empress Dowager Chen closed her eyes, touching the buddhist beads in her hands, ”Have you already investigated everything?”
”Chuxiu Palace's aunt was bribed by Zhou Yuting with a large sum of money, and she has now confessed everything.” Cui Yun said.
”What did Zhou Yuting say?” The Empress Dowager Chen asked, ”There are some lively people who speak in a loud voice, making it easy for people to misunderstand them, but their hearts are actually not that bad.”
”Imperial Consort Candidate Zhou naturally identified herself by removing the hairpin, so this did not happen.” Palace Manager Cui said, ”Because many of the Imperial Consort Candidate s in Imperial Consort Candidate Xuanliang's testimonies have long left the palace, so the current Imperial Consort Candidate does not hold much resentment towards Imperial Consort Candidate Zhou.”
”Then lift it high and gently put it down.” The Empress Dowager Chen said, ”Otherwise, this talent show really doesn't look like it.”
”Elder sister.” Empress Dowager Li said, ”Could it be that the person she bullied left the palace and the fact of her bullying no longer exists? but, when you go back to the Chuxiu Palace, you oppress your Imperial Consort Candidate s who have the same period of power as you. Your conduct is vile, and you don't deserve to be in His Majesty's imperial harem. ”
With a wave of her hand, she ordered for them to get down, ”Cui Yun, you go and investigate this matter again. You must be very serious, do not misplace one, and do not wrongly accuse anyone either.”
Cui Yun should be outside the hall door.
Only then did Empress Dowager Chen say to the Empress Dowager Li, ”Look, which Imperial Consort Candidate left behind has an outstanding appearance? Let's not talk about the ones beside Zhou Yuting, they are beautiful like flowers and the moon. You can't leave a few long ones behind, but when His Majesty gets married, the scene will be even better. ”
”If Your Majesty wants a beautiful Imperial Consort Candidate, there will be one in the future. People with corrupted natures like this cannot stay in the palace.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
”Even if it's wrong, we can let her stay in the palace to become a palace maid.” The Empress Dowager Chen said angrily, ”The ancestral system is for the final fifty to automatically become His Majesty's harem. The lowest is a lady, and there aren't many left.
”I'm afraid that even if I stay in the palace, it would still cause me trouble.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
”Being a palace maid is completely different from being a concubine. First, I'll take charge of studying in the Palace Manager for a few days, then I'll behave myself.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.
Now that Palace Manager Cui had returned to the Chuxiu Palace, all of the Imperial Consort Candidate s in the front hall were talking about him. They all said that Zhou Yuting was the same, but when they remembered that Zhou Yuting had a few henchmen by her side, they couldn't help but tremble in anger, too. How could the Imperial Consort Candidate s recognize him, after all, they only believed that they were following him with a few sentences, and did not commit any evil deeds.
”Slap! Face it! Scratch it with your long nails and the best part of your face will be ruined!” Cui Yun said coldly, ”You two have to rejoice that the empress dowager didn't come. Otherwise, one or two of you would have all been packed and returned home.”
The Imperial Consort Candidate lowered her head and did not speak, ”Since you do not want to fight, then write your own testimonies. Cui Yun said.
”Aunty.” A Imperial Consort Candidate opened her mouth and said, ”Aunt, do you know how Yu Ting will handle this?”
”There's no need for the ladies to worry. You will know about it in the future. Take care of yourselves first.” Cui Yun said.
She went to detain Zhou Yuting in her room alone. Zhou Yuting's hair was dishevelled, and she was still calm. Aunt came to see me? ”
”I have already told Her Majesty about your self-defense. Her Majesty has said that she would look into it and that you should write her a self-defense letter. I will present it to her.” Cui Yun said.
Zhou Yuting raised a smile. ”In the past, Ge Wen Jing would rather be the palace maid to serve us than talk about death. Now that he's about to be Consort, he's actually willing to die? I'm just curious, how did the person who discovered her was so timely? If only he could strangle her to death. ”
”What the girl did before was wrong. Even if Imperial Consort Candidate doesn't report you this time, young lady will have hidden troubles in the future. ” Cui Yun said, ”After all, she is doing it, and the heavens are watching.”
”Aunt has been in the palace for so long, yet she still has such a simple concept of right and wrong?” Zhou Yuting laughed out loud, ”Most of the things that happen in this palace are seen by the heavens, so they have to cover their mouth, they do not dare to say it, they cannot be said.”
”Right now, I only hate myself for missing a move. I didn't expect those quails to still dare to come out and cause trouble even after being honest for so long.” Zhou Yuting said, ”Maybe there is someone behind this?”
”Miss, please write 'defend yourself', once you're done, just knock on the door and have someone call me over.” Cui Yun said.
It was common for Imperial Consort Candidate to bribe the eunuchs of the palace maid. She had bribed the eunuchs from top to bottom for such a huge amount of money, speaking without hesitation in the front hall. In the later stages of the game, she was basically a complete tyrant of the harem. It was a pity that she was defeated before she could even complete the task.
Cui Yun walked to the rear hall, the people at the back hall did not have anything to do with it this time, they merely called palace maid over to ask, ”Is it better for you and Lady Rong?” The rest of the Imperial Consort Candidate s only asked gently after hearing the news, they did not even write down the evidence.
