After Chen Ju received orders to search for things, he called for a few steward eunuchs from the east side of the palace. Although they did not serve in the palace, they had a lot of connections, but they were not that powerful.
Twenty round hat, boots, and a brown robe, all stood in front of him. Their eyes were sharp and capable, but they were filled with killing intent. His Majesty didn't like to use the east yard, so he had to do a beautiful job in order to gain His Majesty's trust.
The Regional Commander of the east factory came over as well. Chen Ju looked at him and asked, ”What's wrong? Why do you have to fight over such a small matter with me?”
”Aiyo, my brother, where did this come from?” ”Furthermore, this is no meritorious service at all. It's obvious that it's a troublesome matter that will embarrass you if you can't get any benefits.”
”Does the Empress have to investigate this to what extent?” Liao Chenghan asked in a low voice. He was here to scout things out.
”The Empress did not say.” Chen Ju said, ”I will bring people here to investigate, but don't look for other places. Just start from our group of people, if you have anything that you don't want to see, quickly take it. Otherwise, I won't give you face when the time comes.”
”Aiyo, looks like the investigation is quite strict.” ”Then how many people would have to capsize in the palace?” Liao Chenghan put on an act and sighed.
”How many do you care? ”Are you afraid that no one will order you around? Hurry up and walk around, and you'll be in trouble in front of me.” Chen Ju said.
Chen Ju led the group in searching his house. If there were no prohibited items in his house, they were fake, but there weren't many, and only two were beloved. After all, Fangruo did not come to his house often.
He sat at the table calmly drinking tea. The person who searched the room found the small wooden box, looked at it, then closed it and put it back. After a while, he said, ”This room is clean. Let's go to the next one.”
”Look carefully.” Chen Ju said.
”Careful.” Cha Lu respectfully said. The undergarment and the silver bell really weren't much. Chen Ju had a close friend, only he had seen a few of his trusted aides before. The rest of them vaguely knew who he was, but they did not trust him as they did not have much experience with him. In addition, with Chen Ju's current status, this kind of thing could not be done easily, and would instead attract retaliation.
”Alright, let's go to the next room.” Chen Ju said.
It was not a secret that the eunuch from the harem wanted to have fun. As long as he had power in his hands, he would mostly like to cause trouble with the little palace maid. Having a huge mouth was enough, since the eunuch had no roots, it did not mean that he was as insatiable as a monk. The eunuchs' desire for money versus power versus power was no different from that of ordinary men. It was even more intense.
After Feng Bao fell, Zhu Yijun did not kill anyone else either. There were many qualified old eunuchs among them, the things that he had found were all different kinds of things, with everything that he had found.
One person didn't feel it at all. After searching half of the palace, the things piled up would be worth it. Empress Dowager Li heard that Chen Ju was investigating eunuchs, pulling everything apart with his Qixiang Palace. There was no other clean palace.
However, this could not be blamed on Chen Ju protecting the Empress, as her Majesty had also found out that there was someone around, but the Empress herself did not like using eunuch.
Empress Dowager Li felt that Palace Manager Cui's hands and feet were too slow, so she got someone to bring a message and let her bring the mama to start with the palace maid in Qixiang Palace.
Wang Rong and His Majesty were playing checkers when Gu Yanxi came in, ”Empress, Palace Manager Cui has brought someone.”
”Hmm?” Wang Rong asked with doubt. She looked up at the sky and saw that it was already the middle of the afternoon. ”Should we check the Qixiang Palace at this point, or should we start from the Qixiang Palace?”
”Palace Manager Cui said that it started from the Qixiang Palace.” Gu Yanxi said, ”I brought mama here.”
”Then go.” Wang Rong He said, ”Some of the little palace maid s that are scared, just stay by the side and accompany them for a bit. There's nothing much to do.”
After Gu Yanxi left, Wang Rong said to Zhu Yijun, ”It might be because Imperial Noble Lady Jia told mother, that mother is currently looking for that little palace maid.”
”Then what if we can't find it?” Zhu Yijun let out a pfft.
”You're still talking.” Wang Rong He said, ”mother isn't stupid, if I don't find out, I can figure it out, and I will feel embarrassed thinking about it.”
”What are you embarrassed about?” Zhu Yijun said, ”It's just the interest between us husband and wife, could it be that mother can call you over to ask if you disguised yourself as palace maid to serve me? She's too embarrassed to ask. ”
”Sigh.” Wang Rong He said, ”I am a person who has gone astray for thousands of years, how will I face the mother in the future? I am such a proper and proper person.”
Zhu Yijun laughed uncontrollably. He hugged Wang Rong and asked, ”Then were you happy that day?”
”Be serious or not.”
Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun coquettishly, ”I'm not going to tell His Majesty that I'm happy, or else His Majesty will pull me over and cause trouble again in the future.”
”Then I'll be happy.” Zhu Yijun laughed, ”We are also very happy. I was already very happy when you came that day.”
”Your Majesty, please don't summon the Imperial Noble Lady Jia here.” Is that so? ”Every day I pay my respects, the others would mock and mock her, even the Imperial Noble Lady Jia is not feeling well, moving around everyday is also suffering, I can only watch as she loses weight.”
”If I didn't set a target, others wouldn't come for you.” Zhu Yijun said.
”Come at me, then come at me.” Wang Rong said with a smile, ”I received His Majesty's kindness, so how could I be afraid of others finding out?” ”They can come at will. If I'm afraid, it'll be my loss.”
”The Empress is so bold.” Zhu Yijun laughed. ”Then we'll do as you say.”
”I hope that Imperial Noble Lady Jia is the last new concubine added to the harem.” ”Yes,” Wang Rong replied. I won't push His Majesty to anyone else, so why would I send a few women to the harem to spend their days alone? ”
”You trust me this much?” Zhu Yijun looked at her gently, ”I don't even have any confidence in myself.”
”Now that His Majesty's heart is still with me, I have to say it first.” Wang Rong He said, ”When His Majesty's heart is no longer with me, the promise between me and His Majesty will naturally not count. When that happens, I will do whatever His Majesty wants, I have no right to interfere.”
”You don't want to be my queen if I did something bad?” You don't even want the rights of the empress anymore? ” Zhu Yijun asked.
”The Queen's right is only to rule.” Wang Rong He said, ”We will no longer restrict His Majesty's actions.”
