Quickly wear in the small world while eating melons

What Sun Zhaoyi probably couldn't have imagined was that Lin Fuqiu was not pregnant at all.

The medicines she prescribed were all for pregnant women, so they would naturally have no effect on non-pregnant people.

Even Lin Fuqiu didn't know that Sun Zhaoyi had actually put drugs in her food.

Naturally, Sun Zhaoyi would not tell this matter and make herself more guilty, so this had to remain a secret.

The reason why she thought Lin Fuqiu was pregnant was because of the last time Lin Fuqiu pretended to be pregnant.

Didn’t Lin Fuqiu deliberately act like she was pregnant last time in order to verify Lu Zhu’s position?

As a result, Luzhu behaved fine, but her behavior was seen by a young palace maid who served her. This palace maid was none other than Sun Zhaoyi's person, and she immediately reported it to her.

This immediately aroused Sun Zhaoyi's vigilance. She would rather kill someone by mistake than let the criminal go. So she made a plan to take action at Concubine Xian's birthday banquet, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

As a result, Li Baolin's tire slipped, but Lin Fuqiu didn't react at all.

Later she figured it out and realized that Lin Fuqiu was probably not pregnant at all, so her medicine had no effect.

Although only a few young palace maids were involved in this incident, there was indeed a mistake in the Shangshi Bureau, which led to the loss of Li Baolin's child, so this time the entire Shangshi Bureau was punished.

The Shangshi Bureau was even worse off than the Gongzheng Bureau. Not only were all the staff punished, but all the relevant personnel were stripped of their positions and demoted to the most difficult places in the palace to serve as the lowest-ranking palace servants.

This was absolutely cruel to them. After all, they were either female officials or senior palace maids before. Compared with other people, they were of noble status and did not have to do any rough work on weekdays.

But now they have fallen to the lowest status in the palace. Not to mention the psychological gap, even the endless rough work they have to do every day is enough to make them tired.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

But for everyone, this means that the emperor has shown mercy to them, and everyone is praising the kindness of the current emperor.

This is not because everyone is being hypocritical, but because they really think so.

Because in the past, whenever this kind of thing happened, the people involved would be beheaded, and the palace was always a river of blood. I don’t know how many innocent people were implicated.

This time, very few people died, and even the Shangshi Bureau, which made mistakes, was only punished. If it were in the past, the Shangshi Bureau would have been purged from top to bottom, with countless casualties.

So how can we not be kind today?

Even Baiyin felt that Emperor Murong Yong was indeed a benevolent emperor and not one who killed innocent people indiscriminately. At least he cared about human life.

This is not Baiyin praising him, but looking at it from the perspective of an ancient emperor.

You have to know that those emperors, even some of them were wise and powerful, did not care about the lives of the lower classes. The palace servants who served them were no different from lowly cattle and sheep, and killing them was no different from killing an ant in the eyes of those emperors.

Therefore, whenever something goes wrong, those who are at fault must of course die, and it is also very common for those who are not at fault to be implicated and killed.

Murong Yong was able to care about the lives of these palace servants and not kill them indiscriminately, so he was already a very good emperor.

Because a large number of people in the Shangshi Bureau were fined, many positions became vacant. The Shangshi Bureau not only needed to recruit people from outside, but many people in the Shangshi Bureau were promoted.

People like Baiyin and Chuntao have only been in the Shangshi Bureau for a short time. Logically, if they want to be promoted, they should either stay in the Shangshi Bureau for another two years or do something meritorious.

But now they are so lucky, because of the shortage of staff, they were directly promoted to second-class palace maids, and are no longer at the bottom of the Shangshi Bureau.

Their promotion was considered low, just one level up, from the third-class maid to the second-class maid. Some capable people were promoted two or three levels directly from the position of female official.

Although Chuntao was envious, she was still very content.

"We are really lucky this time. We were able to come out unscathed after entering the Gongzhengsi, and we were even able to get a promotion after coming out."

After hearing her words, Bai Yin asked, "We were only promoted from a small third-class maid to a second-class maid. We are still maids in essence, and we are still at the bottom of the Imperial Food Bureau. Unlike Ms. Jiang, who went directly from a ninth-rank female historian to a sixth-rank chef, skipping three levels and reaching the top in one step. This is really lucky! Sister Chuntao, do you have any thoughts?"

Chun Tao thought for a while and said, "I am indeed envious of Jiang Sishan's promotion from the ninth rank to the sixth rank, but I am not jealous. Because I know that Jiang Sishan was able to be promoted entirely because of her own strength."

Before Jiang Sishan entered the palace, her family ran a restaurant, and her grandfather had been a royal chef. She inherited her grandfather's true teachings and her cooking skills were excellent. After entering the palace, she learned from different people and her cooking skills became more advanced.

In fact, according to her ability, she should have been more than a female historian long ago. It was only because she offended the people above her that she stayed in the position of female historian for so many years.

Now the person she offended was in trouble, so it was natural for her to be promoted. And because of her outstanding ability, there was no one better than her in the Food Department, so she was directly promoted to Food Department.

Chun Tao continued, "Sishan Jiang has the ability, so he can hold the position of Sishan. If I were put in the position of Sishan now, I would not be happy, but would feel terrified, because I don't have the ability to match it. Didn't you teach me that if one's virtue is not worthy of the position, there will be disaster."

Baiyin had said this sentence when he was teaching Chuntao in prison a few days ago. Unexpectedly, she remembered it and used it here.

Chun Tao continued, "So what I should do now is to improve my abilities so that I won't miss opportunities when they come, and I won't be so anxious."

After listening to Baiyin's words, she began to admire Chuntao. She had such a state of mind at such a young age, which many people could not do.

Baiyin asked this question on purpose, fearing that she would become unbalanced after seeing others promoted two or three levels. It seemed that she was worrying for nothing, as she understood it better than many people.

Baiyin concluded that with Chuntao's character, she would be able to make a name for herself in the palace in the future.

This time, Murong Yong not only found out the mastermind behind the Li Baolin incident, but also used this incident to clean up the harem and took the opportunity to pull out many nails.

You have to know that various forces have planted people in the harem. In addition, Murong Yong has been working hard in the previous dynasty for three years since he ascended the throne, and has not paid much attention to the harem. It should be said that he has no time to pay attention to it, so there are people from various forces in the harem.

Most of these people were placed in place by the previous emperor. After all, Murong Yong only selected palace maids to enter the palace after he ascended the throne. These people could not play any role for the time being.

Now that he has freed up his hands, he naturally wants to reorganize the harem, remove those troublemakers, and restore peace to the harem.

He didn't want his harem to be so messy all the time.
