Imperial harem, Literary Splendour Residence. Liu Guiren, who was once favored by His Majesty, lived here.
Why did it have to be said that it was once?
Because ever since Yu Guiren, who could sing and dance, entered the palace, His Majesty rarely summoned Liu Guiren to serve him. The atmosphere in Literary Splendour Residence has been very depressing these past few days, and today was a bit strange — —
"Yuqing, did you really find out?"
At this time, Liu Guiren was letting the palace maid beside her dress up. A bright palace dress set off her fair and delicate face, making her look very charming and charming.
At this time, hearing Liu Guiren's question, Yan Yuqing, who had been standing respectfully to the side, immediately replied in a low voice: "Replying to Master, this slave inquired clearly that Yu Guiren offended the Emperor's face and was executed. Today, because His Majesty was in a bad mood, he started a massacre in the imperial harem. Both Jingyun Palace and the Shangfu Bureau were affected."
When she said this, Yan Yuqing's voice trembled.
Liu Guiren raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Yan Yuqing's small face slightly: "Yuqing, I remember that your sister works in the Shangfu Bureau, right? Is she okay? "
"Thank you for your concern, this slave … when this slave just went out to inquire, His Majesty's people were still surrounding the Shangfu Bureau. I don't know what the situation inside is like."
At this point, Yan Yuqing's face couldn't help but show a bit of worry. She and Yan Yunuo were not sisters, but thanks to her care in the past year, Yan Yuqing was not without feelings for her.
Of course, Yan Yuqing, as a concubine daughter of the Yan family, had been treated coldly by others since she was a child. She had long seen through the fickleness of the world. Don't look at how she was a month younger than Yan Yunuo, she was already very scheming.
Now, she behaved like this in front of Liu Guiren. First, she wanted Liu Guiren to see how much she valued friendship and loyalty. Second, she planned to take the opportunity to ask for permission to visit the Shangfu Bureau again. What if she was lucky enough to meet His Majesty there?
Liu Guiren didn't know Yan Yuqing's thoughts at this time. She was indeed deceived by Yan Yuqing's immature face. Liu Guiren was naturally very happy to learn that Yu Guiren was dead, but …
His Majesty was a bit abnormal today!
In Liu Guiren's impression, His Majesty had always been very calm and his character was not tyrannical. What crime did Yu Guiren commit to make His Majesty so angry?
The Tranquil Cloud Palace was the resting palace of Honored Consort Shu. She was already an Imperial Consort, so the power behind her naturally could not be underestimated. Today, His Majesty had actually massacred the Tranquil Cloud Palace. Then, what was the connection?
Needless to say, the women in the harem must have a certain level of reasoning ability. Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Liu Guiren pondered for a long time but still couldn't find the connection between Yu Guiren and Shu Fei. At this time, an inner attendant of Flourishing Literature Residence hurried into the room and whispered a few words in Liu Guiren's ear.
Liu Guiren couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Yan Yuqing: "Yuqing, your sister has come to see you. Go and see what she wants!"
Yan Yunuo came?
Hearing Liu Guiren's words, Yan Yuqing immediately left in a hurry and then quickly walked out of the dormitory.
Outside Wenhua House, Yan Yunuo was anxiously pacing back and forth at the gate.
"Sister!"
Yan Yuqing's face flashed when she saw Yan Yunuo's expression. She was very familiar with Yan Yunuo's expression. It seemed that something had really happened to the Shangfu Bureau.
"Yuqing!"
Seeing Yan Yuqing's face, Yan Yunuo immediately grabbed her sister's hand and said anxiously: "Yuqing, you must save Xiao Wan, save her!"
Something happened to Su Wan? Could it be … …
Yan Yuqing's expression was firm and she patted Yan Yunuo's hand hard: "Sister, speak slowly. Did something happen in the Shangfu Bureau?"
While Yan Yunuo and Yan Yuqing were discussing how to rescue Su Wan, Su Wan had already followed Wang Yi to the Xinzheku, which was located in the innermost secluded corner of the imperial city and was the dirtiest and worst place in the entire imperial city.
When the supervisor nanny of the Xinzheku saw that Steward Wang had personally brought people over, she immediately ran out of the door with small steps and came to Wang Yi: "Steward Wang, why did you come in person?"
"Bai mama, your bitter days are about to come to an end."
Seeing Bai mama's charming smile at herself, Wang Yi whispered with a slightly deeper meaning.
This is … …
Bai mama's eyes lit up and she subconsciously approached Wang Yi. She raised her hand and stuffed a banknote into Wang Yi's hand: "Please guide me, Steward Wang!"
[One of the rules of survival for the harem: No matter when and where, you must carry a purse, banknote, and a lot of light valuables with you. These things may be used at any time and sometimes can even save lives.]
"Hey, Bai mama is too polite."
Wang Yi unexpectedly blocked the banknote and turned to look at Su Wan respectfully: "Miss Su, this is the supervisor of the Xinzheku, Bai mama."
"Hello, Bai mama!"
Su Wan nodded at Bai mama. Although Bai mama had stayed in the Xinzheku for many years and hadn't developed much, her eyes were very sharp. Seeing that Wang Yi was so polite to Miss Su in front of her, Bai mama naturally didn't dare to be arrogant. When she heard Su Wan's question, she immediately nodded and smiled: "Hello, Miss Su! Hello, Miss Su! Steward Wang, Miss Su is … … "
After Bai mama greeted Su Wan, she looked at Wang Yi with a puzzled face. Wang Yi gently leaned over to Bai mama's ear and whispered a few words. Bai mama's face changed again and again, and finally, her whole face was a little distorted with excitement: "Steward Wang, don't worry. Leave Miss Su to this servant. This servant will never let her lose a single hair!"
Hearing Bai mama's answer, Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I have to go back and report to His Majesty." Having said this, Wang Yi couldn't help but look at Su Wan again and whispered in a low voice: "Miss Su, do you have any words for this servant to pass on to His Majesty?"
Hearing Wang Yi's question, Su Wan smiled lightly and whispered in Wang Yi's ear. Wang Yi was stunned when he heard Su Wan's words, but he still nodded vigorously: "Miss Su, please rest assured, this servant will definitely pass on your words to His Majesty. This servant will take his leave now."
With that, Wang Yi turned and strode away. Seeing that Wang Yi had gone far away, Bai mama had a gentle face and looked at Su Wan with a smile: "Miss Su, this Xinzheku is very simple and crude. If you don't mind, you can temporarily stay in this old servant's room. Don't worry, this old servant will keep the room very clean and all the supplies will be replaced with new ones."
"No need to go through so much trouble."
Su Wan also smiled at Bai mama: "Just prepare the worst and crudest room for me. Remember, the worse the better."
Bai mama: … …
Miss Su, are you trying to torture yourself?
Although she cursed in her heart, when she thought of what Steward Wang had promised her, as long as she served this master well, he would be able to transfer her out of the Xinzheku. With such a good opportunity in front of her, how could she give it up?
Bai mama clapped her hands: "Miss, don't worry. There is nothing else in this Xinzheku, but dirty and messy places are everywhere. Please go!"
Hearing Bai mama's words, Su Wan nodded with a smile: "I am naturally reassured by Bai mama's work. In the future, Su Wan will have to thank Bai mama for taking care of me here! Also, I hope Bai mama won't tell anyone about anything that happened here. "
Words must not be passed to six ears – the second rule of the harem.
"This old servant understands, Miss Su can rest assured."
With that said, Bai mama immediately straightened up and shouted: "Little girl, let me tell you, once you enter my Xinzheku, you have to listen to me, Bai mama's words. Do you think this is still your Shangfu Bureau? You really don't know what's good for you. I guess you can only stay here for the rest of your life. Hurry up and follow me! "
While speaking, Bai mama had already arrogantly led Su Wan into the gate of the Xinzheku. In this harem, there was really no shortage of anything but men, especially characters with superb acting skills. Any random palace maid could probably be qualified as a movie queen in modern times … …
In the Xinzheku, a group of palace maids who were about to go out saw Bai mama's figure and all bowed respectfully. When they saw the young Su Wan behind her, they all showed a look of pity.
What kind of place was this Xinzheku?
In the entire Imperial City, even in the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Mausoleum, the most arduous and tiring tasks, such as cleaning toilets and pouring out night incense, were the responsibility of the Xinzheku. They had always been the group of people who worked the hardest, had the smallest monthly salary, and had the lowest status.
There were many palace maids who were sentenced to the Xinzheku at first and thought that they could get out after their sentence was completed. However, in less than a month after entering this place, their bodies were already in poor health. The masters never lacked people to order around. Over time, they had long forgotten about you. Once you came in, you couldn't get out.
Under everyone's sympathetic and pitiful eyes, Su Wan first followed Bai mama into the room. This was the "rule" that every newcomer had to go through. It was said to be lectured by Bai mama, but in fact, it was to show filial piety to Bai mama.
If you have a lot of silver, then you can do some less tiring work. If you don't have silver, not only will you be sent to do the most bitter and tiring work, but you will also be beaten up by Bai mama — —
"Ah!"
"Spare me, mama!"
Not long after, sure enough, Su Wan's "miserable" scream came from the room. The people in the courtyard silently looked at each other, no one spoke, and some people's eyes carried a smile of schadenfreude — —
Finally, a newcomer came. This task of cleaning the toilet, I won't continue to do it, right?
