The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Seeing that his face was getting uglier and uglier, Yun Zhining simply hardened her heart and twisted her thigh hard a few times, and tears instantly burst out.

"I know that the reason why the emperor wants to severely punish Qingzhu is because he loves me so much. I am very grateful, but Madam Qi is old after all, and the others are not worth using. Qingzhu is the only pillar of the family. If she gets hurt, Furong Pavilion will be in chaos. I am pregnant. If someone takes the opportunity to do something bad, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

"I am really scared!"

As soon as she cried, Qi Yejing softened his heart.

"Okay, okay, I'm completely defeated by you."

"Qingzhu, for the sake of your young master, I will forgive you this time. In the future, you must be extremely alert and take good care of your young master. If something like this happens again, I will not let you go even if the two queen dowagers plead for you. Do you understand?"

"I thank the emperor for not killing me, and I thank the young lady for her magnanimity."

"Okay, get up."

In the laundry department, the manager was enjoying the service of the palace maids and eunuchs in his room when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it? Don't you know your grandfather is resting? Do you know what crime you should be punished for disturbing his pleasure?"

There was a burst of light laughter coming from outside the door. The steward felt something was wrong. He waved away the young palace maid and eunuch, stood up, walked over and opened the door.

"Hey, Eunuch Dongling, what brings you to the laundry department?"

"What are you two still standing there for? Hurry up and make some tea for Eunuch Dong Ling. You are so tactless. I have wasted my training."

"okay."

Dong Ling raised his hand to stop him.

"Stop working, pack up and come with me to Hibiscus Pavilion."

"What are you going to do at Hibiscus Pavilion?"

Dong Ling rolled his eyes at him and said speechlessly.

"This morning, the laundry department sent the clean clothes to Furong Pavilion. Ming Xiaoyi wanted to dress up and go to Changchun Palace to find Madam Lin. But when she was halfway through putting on her clothes, she found a needle hidden in her clothes. The needle was pointed at her lower abdomen. Once she put on her clothes, the needle would pierce her lower abdomen. Not to mention the child in her belly, even she would probably be injured. The emperor was furious and asked me to call you over for questioning."

"What? This kind of thing actually happened!"

The manager’s head suddenly became overwhelmed.

"How is Ming Xiaoyi now?"

"The adults and the child are fine, but Ming Xiaoyi was frightened and has been crying. The emperor also wants to punish the maid in charge of Furong Pavilion. If you can't give her an explanation, your future life will be miserable."

"Besides, the two queen dowagers are still in Hibiscus Pavilion. Ming Xiaoyi is pregnant with the first child since the emperor ascended the throne. They value her very much. If anything happens to the child, not only you, but even your entire family will be in danger."

"Then what should I do now?"

"The death penalty can only be absolved if the murderer who murdered Ming Xiaoyi is found."

"Okay, I'll check it now."

Damn it, which bastard dares to harm me? You’d better hide well and don’t let me find out. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead.

"Stop what you are doing. I have something to ask you."

"Manager Zhang, what do you want to ask?"

"Who washed Ming Xiaoyi's clothes at Furong Pavilion last time, and who collected them? Who delivered them to Furong Pavilion this morning?"

Furong Pavilion has been the most favored place in the imperial harem recently, and everyone is paying attention to it. Some want to curry favor with it, some dare not offend it, and after hearing what the steward said, they immediately started answering in a flurry.

"I remember that the last time Furong Pavilion sent clothes, they were washed by a palace maid named Chunlan."

"Yes, yes, that's right, it was Chunlan who washed it."

"But it seems that Chunmei delivered the clothes to Furong Pavilion this morning."

Manager Zhang nodded.

"Go and call Chunmei and Chunlan to me."

"Okay, Manager Zhang."

The palace maid left in a hurry and came back soon, followed by a person wearing light green palace maid's uniform.

Upon seeing this, Manager Zhang frowned slightly and said with some displeasure.

"Didn't I tell you to call Chunmei and Chunlan over? Why did you only call one person?"

The palace maid was also wronged.

"Manager Zhang, it's not that I'm lazy, but I just didn't find Chunlan at all."

"So, the person you brought is Chunmei."

"Yes, I am Chunmei, your servant, and I greet Steward Zhang and Eunuch Dongling."

Dong Ling's lips curled up into a smile.

"you know me?"

"I have had the honor of meeting you several times, so I remember what you look like and I dare not be disrespectful."

Dong Ling nodded, his expression becoming gentler.

"Someone just said that you delivered the clothes to Hibiscus Pavilion this morning. Is that true?"

"To reply to your question, it is true."

"Then you didn't check the clothes when you delivered them?"

"How could that be? I have checked them before sending them to the masters of the palaces. If there is any problem, I will not be able to take the responsibility."

This is strange.

"Since you checked the clothes before sending them, why did Ming Xiaoyi find a needle hidden in them when she was putting them on, and why did she almost get hurt?"

"impossible!"

Chunmei's face turned pale instantly.

"I clearly checked it before sending it, how could this happen?"

A face flashed in her mind and she blurted out.

"It was her. It must have been her."

"who is it?"

"Chunlan."

Perhaps she had found a life-saving straw, Chunmei became excited.

"Eunuch Dong Ling, you don't know that Chunlan used to serve Ming Xiaoyi in Furong Pavilion. When Ming Xiaoyi was under house arrest, she used money to find a way to have someone get her to serve Concubine Zhou. Concubine Zhou thought Ming Xiaoyi would completely fall out of favor, so she used her. Who would have thought that Ming Xiaoyi would get pregnant and get promoted? Concubine Zhou was very angry, and on the way back from paying respects, she slapped Chunlan in front of Ming Xiaoyi. Chunlan asked Ming Xiaoyi for help, but Ming Xiaoyi not only did not save her, but also slapped her in the face under the coercion of Concubine Zhou."

"When the Imperial Concubine saw that her intention to use her to humiliate Ming Xiaoyi failed, she sent her back to the Palace Department. Then Director Feng sent her to our laundry department. She must have held a grudge against Ming Xiaoyi, so she was looking for an opportunity to take revenge and murder Ming Xiaoyi and her unborn child."

"No wonder she wanted to deliver my clothes to Hibiscus Pavilion this morning. It turns out she had this in mind!"

Well, there is such a daring servant hidden in the harem.

Dong Ling was immediately angry.

"Someone, come and search, don't leave any corner untouched."

"Yes, father-in-law."

Manager Zhang also quickly asked his subordinates to look for Chunlan.

The laundry department had to wash all the clothes in the palace, so it had a large number of staff and naturally a large area. The people below took a lot of effort to search the laundry department thoroughly.

"Report, Eunuch Dongling, we found Chunlan, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's hard to explain in a few words. You'd better come with me and take a look."
