Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"Pretend to be a cat indoors, jumping and leaping around!"

Emperor Jiaheng clicked his tongue twice, "It seems the Ministry of Justice is still under too much pressure."

The seemingly upright and serious Vice Minister of Justice, Lord Yang, is perfectly fine at work, but goes crazy when he gets home.

hey~

What was he talking about?

People shouldn't bottle things up too much.

If this emperor hadn't relied on piecing together gossip for amusement, he would have gone mad long ago.

"This servant didn't expect this either."

When Sun Wenzhong heard the news, he was completely stunned.

How is he supposed to get along with Lord Yang now?

After the master and servant finished their conversation, Sun Wenzhong ordered someone to keep an eye on Shu Jiao.

As soon as he moved, Shu Jiao noticed something amiss.

But she didn't care too much.

Timed it perfectly, I left Yihe Palace one evening.

It was dark.

A palanquin swayed and wobbled along the bluestone road, with eunuchs and palace maids clearing the way on both sides, making a grand spectacle.

The palace servants by the roadside bowed quietly.

The eunuchs carrying the palanquin walked steadily.

next second...

The palanquin frame broke unexpectedly.

"Boom!"

The wooden frame crashed to the ground.

Consort Yu, caught off guard, fell from her palanquin.

If it weren't for the quick reaction of the palace maids on both sides, who swiftly helped her up, Consort Yu's head would have hit the ground.

However, things aren't much better now.

Consort Yu's leg was hit squarely by the wooden frame, and her face turned pale with pain. Two of her hairpins also fell off her head.

"The imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

It hurt her so much!

"How do you do things?"

Yu Pin's maid first gave a reprimand, then supported her mistress with one hand and methodically ordered the palace servants around her to carry out their tasks.

At the other end of the street, Emperor Jiaheng, accompanied by Sun Wenzhong, saw the whole thing.

"I've never seen Consort Yu's makeup like this before, it's so novel!"

Emperor Jiaheng complained, "Ever since she was promoted to the rank of Consort, she wants to ride in that palanquin whenever she has nothing to do."

It's not surprising at all that he was thrown.

Emperor Jiaheng thought for a moment, then looked closely, and sighed.

Why is Shu Jiao here too?

A hint of suspicion flashed in Emperor Jiaheng's eyes. "Investigate Consort Yu's matter."

"Yes."

Sun Wenzhong responded in a deep voice.

Then the sound of the firecrackers being set off rang out, and only then did the large group of people on Consort Yu's side realize—

The emperor has arrived.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Consort Yu wanted to act coquettishly towards Emperor Jiaheng, just like before.

As a result, when he stood up and took a few steps, he limped and was in so much pain that his voice became distorted.

A strange smile flashed in Emperor Jiaheng's eyes. "Rise. What's going on?"

Consort Yu cried out with tears in her eyes.

He grabbed Emperor Jiaheng's sleeve and unleashed a torrent of abuse.

"They're all useless lackeys."

Emperor Jiaheng offered a few words of comfort and then ordered a new palanquin to be brought to carry Consort Yu back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, my feet hurt. Please keep me company."

"I am busy with state affairs, I will visit you when I have time."

Emperor Jiaheng gave a perfunctory reply and ordered his men to quickly carry Consort Yu away.

Leave quickly.

Emperor Jiaheng had originally planned to visit his concubines to relax, but he didn't go this time and went straight back to the front hall to get back to work.

Before leaving, he glanced at Shu Jiao one last time.

It has nothing to do with her, right?

Shu Jiao kept her head down, pretending not to notice the gaze coming from her, and then strolled back to Yihe Palace to tell Consort Yi about it.

"Hahaha~"

Consort Yi laughed heartily, gloating, "Let her ride that palanquin back and forth all day long, and she'll be finished, won't she?"

That's a target.

If someone wants to scheme against Consort Yu, they can start directly with her carriage, which is convenient, quick, accurate, and efficient.

"I wonder who did it?"

Consort Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, "You've certainly given me a chance to vent my anger."

Consort Yu is known for her sharp tongue. She claims to be straightforward, but she's just using that as a pretext to hurt people's feelings.

She had quite a few arguments with Consort Yu.

"The servant knows."

Shu Jiao said softly.

"Oh?"

Consort Yi looked at her with great interest, "How did you know?"

"Half a month ago, Consort Xian was summoned by the Emperor to accompany him."

Shu Jiao deliberately lowered her voice and explained in a rhythmic tone, "It just so happened that on that day, Consort Yu personally delivered soup to the Emperor."

Upon hearing Shu Jiao's words, Consort Yi also recalled, "But that time, I remember that the Emperor still went to Consort Xian's palace that night."

Consort Yu's attempt to steal the emperor's favor failed!

"Yes."

Shu Jiao nodded in agreement, "But then, the Emperor gave red charcoal to Consort Yu. Consort Xian thought the red charcoal was a gift from the Emperor, and ended up entering Consort Yu's palace."

How could Consort Xian be so angry?

But upon closer examination, it's not a major grudge.

"So Consort Xian had someone tamper with the palanquin."

Shu Jiao added, "My fellow villager, who works as a second-class palace maid in Consort Xian's palace, found out about it by chance."

Consort Yi smiled and said, "It's also Consort Yu's fault for being careless."

She deserves it!

"You have done a good job."

Consort Yi took out a gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones from her hair and gave it to her, then took out ten taels of silver and gave her, saying, "Take it. Don't mistreat your fellow villager. Starting tomorrow, you will be transferred to my side as a second-class palace maid."

"Thank you for the promotion, Madam."

Shu Jiao smiled and reached out to take it.

Turning her head, she strolled leisurely out the door, spotted a potential client, and immediately darted out from a corner.

"Sister Qingyue."

Shu Jiao called out affectionately.

Qingyue was so frightened that she shuddered, thinking she had seen a ghost.

"you are?"

Qingyue calmed her racing heart before asking.

"Who I am is not important, what matters is Consort Yu, isn't it?"

Shu Jiao asked back.

Qingyue didn't respond, but looked at Shujiao suspiciously for two seconds before her expression changed drastically. "Oh dear, my dear sister~ to tell you the truth, my lady suffered a great loss today."

"you do not say."

Shu Jiao continued the performance, "Your Majesty is such a good person, how could you have caused such an unexpected incident?"

Listen and listen.

The word "accident" made Qingyue's eyes narrow.

She immediately took out some silver from her pocket, pretended to be intimate with Shu Jiao, and skillfully and quickly stuffed it into her hand.

"That's right~"

Qingyue sighed softly, "Sister, you don't know this. With Her Majesty suffering like this, it's truly difficult for me as well."

Friend, tell me in detail!

"Consort Xian".

Shu Jiao whispered two words in her ear.

Seeing that Qingyue seemed puzzled, he continued, "Red Luo Charcoal."

Red charcoal!

Qingyue understood immediately, inwardly cursing Consort Xian for being so narrow-minded, but outwardly she was extremely grateful and pulled Shujiao along, saying, "Zhenzhen'er is really grateful to you, sister. I am so thankful."

"Your sister owes you a favor. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to come to your sister."

After saying that, Qingyue hurriedly went back to inform Consort Yu, who was still investigating the murderer.

Shu Jiao let her leave.

Under the moonlight, he took out the silver from his pocket and counted it carefully; it was two taels.

That’s okay.

At least it's a month's salary.

Sun Wenzhong, who had investigated Shu Jiao again and confirmed that there were no problems, reported to Emperor Jiaheng that night.

Emperor Jiaheng: "It has nothing to do with her?"

"No."

Sun Wenzhong affirmed, "The incident involving Consort Yu was orchestrated by Consort Xian."

"Consort Xian?"

Seeing Emperor Jiaheng's doubts, Sun Wenzhong then vividly recounted the feud between Consort Xian and Consort Yu.

Emperor Jiaheng: ...

"She's so stingy."

Emperor Jiaheng commented sharply, and then said, "Send another batch of red silk charcoal to Consort Yu."
