"My wife really knows how to enjoy happiness. In this midwinter season, all the flowers have failed to bloom. I really don't know how to make these chrysanthemums bloom in the snow?" someone said flatteringly.

The lady smiled and said: "It's funny. The method is simple. I ordered someone to build a greenhouse and keep the chrysanthemums there. In the greenhouse, it will be like spring all year round, so the flowers will bloom all the time. I am an idle person, so I naturally have the time.

The servants are not as good as you. I have to serve the king, where can I find the time?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a gust of cold wind blowing, and the atmosphere in the Nuan Palace suddenly became colder. The wife was still smiling, and only stared at her nominal daughter-in-law Fan Xiang. This girl was eighteen or nineteen years old.

She is young, but has an average appearance, and she is the daughter of a concubine of Ehou Yufang. Her biological mother was just a humble palace maid. She has not been taken seriously in the E palace since she was a child. There is always a shrinking and petty attitude in her actions.

After all, Mrs. Tai was born as a princess of Yingguo. How could she find such a petty daughter-in-law? Fortunately, she was from Fanzhen. If she were his own son, he would never marry such a woman. Thinking back, she still has to do honorable work.

She asked softly: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Ever since you entered my palace, you've been frowning. Could it be that I don't treat you well?"

"Mrs. Madam, I------" Seeing the way Fan Xiu was hesitating to speak, the Madam understood that she had something to say, so she waved her sleeves and said, "I and Madam have something to say, you guys?"

Let’s each return to the palace.”

"promise!"

After a sound of rustling clothes, everyone cleared the place, and the Dowager said loudly: "Can you say it now?"

"Mother, Madam! You have to make the decision for me!" Pan Xiu suddenly burst into tears and threw herself at the feet of the Dowager, sobbing: "Your Majesty------ Your Majesty, he is so------ so outrageous.

Well, if this continues, what’s the big deal?”

"What on earth is going on? Please explain it clearly in one breath!" The lady was impatient.

Fan Xiu then held back her tears and narrated the general story. It turned out that since Hu Ji entered the palace, there had been a lot of chaos, and Fan Xiu relied on her status as the principal wife to stop it.

A few times later, Fan Zhen was in high spirits, so how could he have a good attitude towards her? The first two times he was perfunctory, and then he slapped her face-first. Then he pointed at her nose and scolded her:

"Don't you want to meddle in the widow's affairs just because you are a royal wife? You are just a bitch born of a palace maid. If your father hadn't insisted on marrying you off, how could the widow accept you as a step-in-law? If you just stay on your own terms.

, for the sake of the Marquis of E, I will treat you decently; if you don’t know what to do, hum! You are just a bitch, how will your good father stand up for you?"

After being beaten, Fan Shu learned to be good and didn't dare to show off anymore. But this time, they refused to let her go. Two of the dowry maids around her have been in trouble these days, and I'm afraid the next one will be her turn.

It's about herself.

Recently, Mrs. Tai also vaguely heard that a woman's miserable screams were heard every night in the main hall where Fan Zhen lived. At dawn, there seemed to be a woman's body being carried out of the palace gate. She was shocked and asked: "Those two girls of yours are coming out."

What happened?"

Pan Shu seemed to be frightened, her eyes full of panic: "The day before yesterday, a chamberlain came to the main hall and said that your Majesty asked someone to send a glass vase that was given to the empress many years ago. It is waiting to be used! So I sent the big man next to me.

The maid is gone, I don’t want------I don’t want------" Her voice began to tremble.

"How is it?" The lady leaned forward and asked with concern.

"I didn't expect that in the middle of the night, she would be sent back. She was completely naked, with deep and shallow whip marks all over her body, and there were also marks made by red-hot irons everywhere. She was speechless and just kept going.

She shook her head. Before she could call for a palace doctor, she jumped into the well and committed suicide."

"Didn't you go to the main hall and ask for clarification?" the lady asked in a deep voice.

"My daughter-in-law is gone." There was resentment in Fan Xiang's eyes: "Your Majesty didn't see me. Only Fang Aman, who is neither male nor female, came out and said that my girl had an affair with a palace guard and was reported. She will die.

Admitted it. She also said that if she had something to do, she would come to the guard.

She knew exactly where they lived, which bed belonged to which guard, and who slept next to whom. She also knew that the guards were now covered with brocade quilts------all of them were dead.

, they can only say it!"

"Then didn't you say something happened to two girls? There was another one

Woolen cloth?"

"There is one more, there is one more------" Fan Xi murmured: "I heard that she went out to relieve herself last night and never came back. I don't know whether she is dead or alive. Wuwuwu-----

-"

The madam was upset by her and advised: "Stop crying, what's the use? You quickly go back to the palace and send people to find this missing girl. If you want to see her alive, you want to see her body! As for your Majesty, he

If you make too much noise and bring harm to the country's face, I will restrain you!"

Pan Xiu was overjoyed: "With my mother and wife in charge, I can feel at ease now."

Pan Ji walked out of the palace with relief. Before she could stretch her waist, which was aching from being bent down in front of her mother-in-law, she saw her dowry attendant hurriedly coming over: "Madam, Your Majesty has summoned you to the main hall."

"Summon me? What did you say?" Fan Xiu felt her heart skip a beat, and her calves instinctively felt a little soft. Fortunately, a maid was there to help her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

See.

The waiter shook his head nervously: "I don't know, the person who came here didn't say anything."

"But------" Fan Xiang instinctively wanted to turn around and ask the Madam for help, but was stopped by the chamberlain: "Oh, madam, someone is here to rush me. Besides, the Madam has always been at odds with you.

Mu, her heart is only for her own son, how can she sincerely help us? It is better not to wait for your Majesty to become impatient."

Fan Xiu thought about it and had to turn back three times to look in the direction of the main hall.

As soon as he stepped into the dark hall, Fan Zhen felt a murderous aura coming towards him. Behind the huge Jun's case, Fan Zhen sat with an ashen face. He didn't know whether it was because of excessive sexual indulgence these days, but there was a faint lump under his eyes.

Wu Qing. Zhuan Hu Ji, wearing a white fur collar robe, was leaning on Fan Zhen, feeding slices of roasted mutton on the table into his mouth.

Fan Shu couldn't stand the disgusting look of the two people, so she turned her face away, and when she saw a person huddled on the ground, she was suddenly surprised: "Xuan'er, you------why are you here?"

"This is Xuan'er, the personal palace maid who has been missing for a day.

"Why is she here? Madam, doesn't she know?" Fang Aman, who was both male and female, dressed in red, came over and gave a perfunctory salute with a smile: "If Xuan'er hadn't reported it, Your Majesty

You are still kept in the dark, wondering what good things your lady has done in the palace?"

"What did you say?" Although Fan Shu was born as a concubine, she still had the identity of Mrs. Fan Guozheng, and she really disliked Fang Aman. After hearing these unreasonable words from him, she obviously wanted to do something to her.

unfavorable.

The clay figurine was still earthy, let alone her. He raised his hand and slapped Fang Aman loudly on the face, and shouted: "Bah! Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to accuse me? You are not a man.

Unfeminine stuff!"

Fang Aman wanted to show off his authority, but didn't want to suffer a secret loss. His fair face became swollen, and he whispered bitterly: "I'll drive you crazy! I'll make you feel better later." He turned around and pointed at Xuan'er on the ground.

, cupped his hands towards Fan Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, Xuan'er is Madam's personal maid, and it's very clear what the palace concubine did. There are witnesses and physical evidence, what else can Madam say?"

A basin of dirty water was thrown down from his pocket, and Fan Xiu was trembling with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about, you monster? Have I ever had an affair with the palace? Don't think that the outside world doesn't know about the dirty things you have done? Don't think you are dirty."

Throw water on my head!"

"Pa--" With a sound, Fan Zhen smacked the table angrily, pointed at his wife and cursed: "You bastard, ever since you entered the palace, you have been jealous and made obstacles at every turn, making me feel uncomfortable. Now again

I couldn't bear the loneliness, so I actually had an affair with others and wanted to help the Ying family to seize my position. This is really unbearable!"

It was a matter of reputation. Fan Ji refused to give in, and stepped forward to argue: "Since your Majesty has pinned such charges on me, may I ask, who did I have an affair with? I am willing to confront this person face to face."

"Who? Confront him in person? Humph!" Fan Zhen snorted twice: "You know that this person is someone that no one can touch, so you brought him up to confront him, right?"

"Who is it?" Fan Shu asked in a sharp voice, "I can't tell you who the name is, and I won't accept it until I die."

At this time, Zhuan Hu Ji spoke up, her voice rising like a bright moon: "That man is General Ying Yuan. Xuan'er, please speak first."

Xuan'er didn't dare to raise her head and told the green brick floor: "General Ying Yuan came into the palace several times to meet with the Dowager. After he left, the lady asked his servant to wait in front of the palace. The two of them were in the back garden.

A private meeting in the pavilion. The slave once heard faintly from a distance,

The lady responded to the general and said that the king's favor turned to Hu Ji, and he was becoming more and more licentious. It would be better to drive him off the throne and let the young master succeed him. Then the general and his wife could

Stay together forever, stay together and fly together------"

Before she could finish speaking, she was kicked to the ground by an angry fan: "Xuan'er, you are my palace maid who came from the country of Hubei as a dowry and have been with me since childhood. How can you slander me like this? You--

----Where is your conscience?"

"Woooooo------" Xuan'er did not dare to raise her head after being scolded. She just lowered her head and sobbed and cried.

Fan Zhen suddenly stood up: "You are so brave, Mr. E, how dare you coerce a witness? Take her down."

There were already two guards, one on the left and the other on the right, who were holding Fan Xi tightly so that she could not move. She struggled and said: "Your Majesty, although I am a concubine, I am still the wife of your three matchmakers and six betrothals. Now your Majesty does not believe me.
