The book begins with the waste of all the members

Dadada, dada, dadadadada...

History always repeats itself surprisingly. Wei Yu, who was taking a nap, was awakened by a series of knocking sounds. She jumped up from the bed cursing.

"You're seriously ill. Why do you always have to start decorating when people are asleep?"

She put on her coat and followed the sound, only to find that it was Lin Su and several eunuchs who were repairing the door of the palace for her.

Lin Su stepped forward and greeted Wei Yu, "Hello, Miss Wei. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

"No." No way.

Wei Yu had a smile on his face but was being naughty on his heart.

Those who can sit in the position of chief eunuch are all shrewd people. Lin Su saw at a glance that Wei Yu was not sincere in what he said, but he just didn't say it out loud.

"Xiao Lingzi, bring up Miss Wei's unpaid salary."

When Wei Yu heard the word "salary", her eyes lit up. This meant she was being given money.

Lin Su pulled the yellow cloth aside, revealing two layers of silver ingots on the tray. "Here is one hundred taels of silver. The emperor personally ordered a supplement of one hundred taels of silver for you."

"One hundred taels." Wei Yu exclaimed. This overwhelming wealth finally belonged to her. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Hahaha. Thank you, Eunuch Lin."

This can be considered an alternative way of settling salary plus compensation after being fired. In this way, the emperor, as a boss, is still somewhat humane.

In Wei Yu's heart, the emperor officially changed from a man with a negative score of 100 to a man with a negative score of 99.

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor's score soared from the man with a score of -99 to the dog with a score of -300.

The reason was that after the repair of the main hall entrance was completed, Lin Su brought the eunuchs to seal the gate of Chengming Palace, and even repaired the gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through that day.

"I really thank you." Wei Yu said gritting his teeth.

What's the difference between this and Concubine Jia asking people to come and seal the palace? It's true that people of the same family are alike.

"This is all the emperor's holy will. Now that everything is done, your servants will take their leave."

"Wait." Wei Yu stopped the person.

"Miss Wei, do you have any other instructions?"

"Doesn't the Emperor have any control over Chengming Palace? Why did he come here today and seal my palace?"

"Didn't Lord Bai tell you? It was Lord Bai who requested an audience with the Emperor and asked him to come." Lin Su leaned in closer and whispered, "Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that you and Lord Bai and Lord Lou were too close. That's why I was ordered to bring people here to repair the gate of Chengming Palace. Also, this rumor originated from Liqing Palace."

Wei Yu understood that Liqing Palace was Concubine Jia's palace, and they were indeed her mortal enemy.

"Thank you, Eunuch Lin, for telling me." Wei Yu turned around and said to Yin Lan, "Yin Lan, I'll give you two baskets of smoked meat and a dozen pieces of dried beef."

Lin Su was holding two pieces of smoked meat in his left hand and a handful of air-dried meat in his right hand, which was disheveled in the wind.

I have seen people giving out gold, silver, and jewelry as rewards, but this is the first time I have seen people giving out smoked and air-dried meat as rewards.

Xiao Lingzi asked cautiously: "Grandpa, how about I give it to you and let you deal with it secretly?"

"I'm not going to deal with you, I'm going to deal with you. Didn't you hear what Miss Wei said? She made this herself. Just take it to the imperial kitchen and serve it to the emperor for dinner tonight. Remember, say that the meat was specially presented to the emperor by Miss Wei out of gratitude." Lin Su raised his hand to pat Xiao Lingzi on the head, but gave up when he realized that he had meat in his hand.

"Yes, I understand. I will take the meat to the imperial kitchen right away."

"Wait, do you remember what Miss Wei just said? Ask the imperial kitchen to do it according to what Miss Wei said."

"Ok."

At dinner time, Si Muzhen found some greasy, red, and brown bamboo shoots fried with smoked pork in a corner among more than a dozen dishes.

"What the hell is this thing, worthy of my table?"

"Your Majesty, this is the smoked meat that Miss Wei specially asked me to bring back as a token of her gratitude to Your Majesty. Even the smoked meat and bamboo shoots were specially prepared by Miss Wei."

Lin Su is incredibly good at creating something out of nothing.

"Tsk, take it out and feed it to the dog."

Lin Su was stunned, "This..."

"I'll let you fall, then fall. I don't want to see or hear anything or any news about that vicious woman."

"Ah? No, Your Majesty, haven't you already forgiven Miss Wei?"

Si Mu laughed in anger, breaking the chopsticks in his hand. "Forgive? Yi Xin is still sick now, and Concubine Chen has lost a lot of weight from worrying too much. How can I possibly forgive her?"

Yi Xin was the prince that Concubine Chen gave birth to after a difficult labor. Of course, the culprit was Empress Wei.

"Then why did you rush over when you heard that Concubine Jia was causing trouble in Chengming Palace? When you came out, you were so happy..." Lin Su spoke in a lower and lower voice.

Si Muzhen walked up to Lin Su and poked him hard on the forehead. "How ridiculous! I'm so angry! Have your eyesight been eaten by dogs?"

"I finally got the power back from Concubine Jia with good reason. I have to speed up the process. I am happy because it paves the way for Concubine Chen to take power after she comes out of confinement."

Lin Su still didn't understand. "Then why did the emperor repair the gate of Chengming Palace? Your dislike for Wei Yu is just the right way to punish her for her infidelity, isn't it?"

"Oh, she was the queen after all, don't I have any dignity?"

Now, everything made sense. It was all his fault for thinking too quickly. Lin Su wanted to slap himself in the face a few times.

After venting her anger, Si Muchen finally calmed down and sat back down to eat. "By the way, how are the preparations for the promotion of Concubine Chen to Noble Concubine Chen going? Does the Queen Mother have anything to say?"

"Everything is ready for the ceremony of conferring the title of Imperial Concubine. We are just waiting for the Concubine Chen to be released from confinement. The Empress Dowager has no objection."

"But I don't agree either." Si Muzhen put down his chopsticks. "The Queen Mother still has some concerns about the whole family."

The He family is the maternal family of Concubine Chen.

Lin Su stopped serving food to Si Muzhen and said, "It's understandable that the Queen Mother has concerns. Everyone in the family has been getting more restless in recent years."

Apart from the Empress Dowager, only Lin Su dared to speak such words about the favorite concubine and important ministers.

Si Muzhen sighed. Although it was difficult, she had to remove Concubine Chen from the He family no matter what. Otherwise, when the He family was dealt with, Concubine Chen would be implicated to some extent.

"This matter still needs to be carefully considered. In short, I cannot allow Concubine Chen to suffer even a little harm. I owe her a great deal."

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Concubine Chen will understand your Majesty."

The emperor fell into deep thought, hoping so.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Lin Su brought up an inappropriate topic at an inappropriate time, "Your Majesty, what about Wei Yu..."

"Shut up."

"Okay."

Wei Yu, who was eating in Chengming Palace, kept sneezing.

"Miss, you must have caught a cold. I told you not to sleep in the yard all the time..." Yinlan transformed into an old maid and began to nag in Wei Yu's ear.

As soon as it got dark, Wei Yu quickly lay back on bed and went to sleep.

At night, two dark shadows suddenly jumped down from the wall and entered Wei Yu's room.

Wei Yu was startled and screamed, but then stopped abruptly.

She was muzzled.

The person covering her mouth was Loulan, and the other black shadow was Bai Shuyang, who was covering Yinlan's mouth and trying to control her.

Loulan made a hushing gesture.

Wei Yu nodded, with a crazy look on her face, staring blankly at the handsome face so close to her.

How could someone be so handsome? Facing this handsome face, she could eat three bowls of white rice for a meal and dig wild vegetables in just a few minutes without any hesitation.

Loulan pointed in the direction of the window.

There were two figures lingering by the window.

Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere that Wei Yu felt truly frightened for the first time, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Loulan's low voice sounded in his ears.

She really didn't seem that scared anymore.

Wei Yu said softly, "Thank you."

She didn't realize the distance between them for a moment, and when she thanked him, the warm air sprayed on Loulan's cheek.

Loulan's ears turned red, and she forced herself to focus on the two people outside the window.
