"Didn't the Emperor temporarily seal Lingqi Palace?" Lin Qingluan took the hot handkerchief from Kapok's hand and wiped her face, drank hot tea and rinsed her mouth, then spit into the spittoon held by the little palace maid.

An Lan said: "I'm going to see if Mu Yun is back. She went out early in the morning to inquire about the news. She must know more details."

After Lin Qingluan had dressed up and prepared for breakfast, Mu Yun rushed back. On such a cold day, there were still beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Concubine Xian seems to be really upset and crazy." Mu Yun said first, "I got the news early in the morning and went to Lingqi Palace first. I happened to see Concubine Xian going crazy..."

According to Mu Yun, Concubine Xian ran out of Lingqi Palace with disheveled hair and no shoes on. Several eunuchs surrounded her but did not catch her. And she looked like she was drunk, running around here and there.

There was no plan, and in the end he fell directly against the palace wall.

"If Jinxiu's eyes hadn't been quick to grab Concubine Xian, she wouldn't have just been knocked to the ground, but she would have suffered a bloody head injury..." Mu Yun said with lingering fear.

It was also because of this quarrel that everyone present basically believed that Concubine Xian was "crazy".

"The Concubine Xian is still talking about the child, the Dragonborn, and Ling'er and Shuangshuang. She seems to be talking about it in a spirited way, which is really scary." The sweat on Mu Yun's head is not from exhaustion, but from fear.

, "This is the first time I've seen this slave really lose her temper. It's really scary..."

Lin Qingluan was noncommittal. Whether Concubine Xian is really crazy or not remains to be seen later.

At this time, Hu Jieyu had a miscarriage, and Concubine Xian was involved in mutilating Qiu Baolin's fetus, and tried to frame the concubine. At this time, Concubine Xian could only escape all kinds of punishment by going crazy.

The emperor will not argue with a madman, and maybe for the sake of the Hu family, he will raise the two sisters well, and they will not be less honorable in their position.

Lin Qingluan said that after a year and a half everything has passed and the Concubine Xian slowly gets better, she will still be a serious Concubine Xian and nothing will change.

As for hitting her head...even committing suicide might be fake. This kind of thing depends entirely on acting skills. Lin Qingluan felt that Concubine Xian had not been sitting on the throne in vain for so many years.

The abacus was a good one, but it was a pity that Lin Qingluan would not give her this chance if she wanted to hide after she was done harming her.

"When I was in a hurry yesterday, all I heard Concubine Xian calling was 'Ling'er.'" Lin Qingluan tapped her fingers on the small hole in the armrest, thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, Hu

Isn’t Jieyu’s name Hu Shuangshuang?”

"Is Ling'er a nickname?" An Lan guessed.

Lin Qingluan nodded: "It's possible, but... I'd better ask someone to inquire outside the palace..." She suddenly paused and laughed again, "Forget it, let's talk about it later."

Without waiting for anyone to ask any more questions, Lin Qingluan asked them to call the rest of the palace people, and said with a smile: "Hibiscus betrayed the master, Kapok was the first to notice that something was wrong, and told An Lan in time. An Lan was also very alert. In addition,

, Xiao Dezi has done a good job in several follow-up investigations. I will reward you for your merits, come here."

She took out the money box she had prepared in the morning, opened it and took out each purse, and handed it out while saying: "There is only one eunuch Li Dezhi in Wan'an Palace now, and no eunuch has been arranged. Xiao Dezi has served him all these years.

It’s good, so I’ll take my place temporarily.”

"Slave, I thank you, the imperial concubine!" Lu De did not expect that he would be promoted one day, and he happily threw himself on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Qingluan, "Slave, I must sincerely listen, listen to the master, the master asked the slave to go east, slave

Never catch chickens!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and An Lan also said: "What are you talking about? What does going east have to do with catching chickens, hahahaha."

"No, I must listen to my master!" Lude said again, expressing his loyalty.

Among the eunuchs in the concubine's office, the highest one is the seventh-grade eunuch. Although there are some eighth-grade eunuchs, they are rarely set up in each palace. The following ones are all eunuchs in blue. Regardless of whether they are powerful or not, they have no rank.

Lu De now stands out and becomes the only eunuch of high rank in Wan'an Palace, so he is naturally happy.

Lin Qingluan smiled again and said: "Kapok has always been meticulous and thoughtful, and this time she was promoted to first-class palace maid. Mu Tang and Mu Yun have also been very diligent recently and their minds have become much more flexible. You can do some things without my instructions."

You are very good, and you will be rewarded if you come."

Mu Tang and Mu Yun knew that Kapok had made a great contribution this time, so they had no choice but to be convinced. Fortunately, their master still remembered what they had done, and they were all very happy and stepped forward to receive the purse.

"Wan'an Palace is good, and we cannot do without An Lan and Li Dezhi. One of you is my dowry, and the other is the chief eunuch of Wan'an Palace. I will lead them to do better in the future. Come here." Lin Qingluan.

With a smile, he distributed the purse to two more people, and the remaining palace guests did not forget to reward each person with a handful of copper coins.

The reward was not much, but everyone was embarrassed in front of the master. For a moment, Wan'an Palace was beaming with joy, but Li Dezhi reminded: "Master, the harem is not stable now. Even though we have received the reward, we don't dare to show any joy outside."

"What Li Dezhi said is exactly what I am saying. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me here, and I don't know how many people are waiting to catch me. In the future, whether you are in Wan'an Palace or walking out, you need to be more careful, but remember

Live?" Lin Qingluan thought for a while and then said, "Mujin was manipulated by the Xian Fei because of her family, but please remember that my Lin family is also a prestigious family in Beijing, whether it is the Zhai family or the Hu family, the Lin family

You can also fight in court."

"If something goes wrong in someone's family again but you don't tell me, but are used as blackmail by others, then don't blame me for not paying attention to the old relationship." Lin Qingluan's voice was steady, but she spoke clearly every word, "Hibiscus.

She has entered the Criminal Punishment Department and will never be able to come out in this life, and her brother has been caught by a gambling house and had one of his hands cut off, her parents were also beaten up by people from the gambling house, and the house was completely wiped out."

"I have the ability to protect you and your family, but if you choose the wrong direction, you will be doomed. Do you remember?" Lin Qingluan leaned forward slightly, with a heavy and heavy look like a palace full of people.

Everyone who was smiling just now immediately stopped talking and held their breath. After saying "yes" one after another, they knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Qingluan consciously: "This slave is loyal to the master and will never betray the master."

"That's the best. Okay, I will send you a big purse after the Chinese New Year. Come on down." Lin Qingluan finally laughed again.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after bowing one after another, they went about their duties. An Lan also went out to show Lin Qingluan the five people who had just been sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday.

None of the five palace maids looked pretty. The Ministry of Internal Affairs already knew Lin Qingluan very well, and the candidates they sent were all quick and honest people. Lin Qingluan did not hesitate and asked them to stay first, and the three of them would serve.

In the yard, the two of them stayed on the porch, waiting for five days before deciding who would go and who would stay.

"This slave girl thinks that the one named Mung Bean is pretty good." After moving the five people away, An Lan came over and whispered, "Don't look around or ask around. The others couldn't help but look around, but she is quite calm."

gas."

"Well, let Mu Tang take a good look at them during this period, and then let Li Dezhi and Lu De have time to inquire about their families." Lin Qingluan said lightly.

An Lan responded. The master and servant were about to go to the study when Mu Yun trotted in: "Master, Feng Jieyu was demoted by the emperor."
