C14 To acquire confidant

"Yes, it can be, but it's too troublesome. How about this, I'll let you guys meet me once, okay?" Qin Muyun said casually as he was eating.

"Your Majesty, this isn't good, chenqie ?"

"There is nothing wrong with that. I was the one who said it. Let's see who dares to gossip."

Qin Muyun took Luo Chen's hand and gently stroked it.

When going to bed, Luo Chen refused to share the bed and pillow with him due to the discomfort she felt. Although Qin Muyun was unwilling, it was not good for him to refuse, since he had to lie on the bed by himself for the entire night.

Early morning of the second day, Qin Muyun woke up early and stopped after seeing Luo Chen's sleeping appearance.

Qin Muyun squatted down, and caressed Luo Chen's face, "Chen'er, what do you think we should do with you?"

After Qin Muyun left, Luo Chen slowly woke up.

"Momo, help me change my clothes."

Luo Chen had used brunch s before, so she sat by the window and looked at the leaves falling from the distance. She knew that autumn was coming. Mid-Autumn Festival is also not far away, I don't know if I can get together with my younger brother this year.

"Empress, Eunuch Zhang is here." The mama's voice interrupted Luo Chen's train of thoughts.

"Imperial Concubine Su accepts the decree." Eunuch Zhang shouted.

Luo Chen slowly stood up, "Chenqie, accept the decree."

Ever since the Luo Family's imperial concubine Shu entered the palace, her words and actions were very proper. Serving the empress dowager has done meritorious service, and she has bestowed upon the Western Sea Coral Tree, a White Jade Lotus Bracelet, a Smoky Cloud Shadow hairpin, and a box of jewelry. "Here it is."

"Long live the Emperor, thank you for your grace." Luo Chen accepted the decree and knelt down.

"Empress, please get up." "Eunuch Zhang hurriedly helped Luo Chen up. Esteemed Empress, in the afternoon, the Third Marquis will be announced to the Supreme Harmony Temple. At that time, the emperor will meet with you, so this old servant will take his leave first. "

"Alright, I understand." Luo Chen knew that the Emperor was worried about her, but he didn't expect that he would meet the Third Marquis together with him. He must think of a way to send Qin Muyun away.

"Empress, what do we do with these rewards?" Qing'er who was beside Luo Chen asked.

"Just find a seat." Luo Chen waved her hand in annoyance, it seemed that the girl beside him would have to teach her a lesson for such a small matter to be arranged by herself.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and a plan suddenly popped up.

"Momo, gather all the maids in the Changle Palace and tell them that I lost my hairpin."

"Yes."

A while later, all the palace servants in Changle Palace were summoned. There was a wet nurse, two first-rate maidservants, four second-rate maidservants, a caretaker eunuch, Eunuch Li, and several other caretakers.

"All shut up, the Empress is here." With a loud cry from the mama, the people below all shut their mouths.

"I lost my hairpin and wanted to ask who saw it. Now, return it to me and I will continue to let bygones be bygones." Luo Chen said slowly as he sat on his rocking chair.

"No, Niangniang. This servant didn't get it." As a first-rate palace maid, Mei Er was the first to speak.

"No, Your Highness ?" "No ?" The servants kneeled down and said that they were innocent.

After a moment, just when everyone was unable to resist anymore, Luo Chen opened her mouth, "Oh? None of them? Did the hairpin of this palace grow legs? If no one admitted it, then let's go to the torture chamber? I believe that the people in the torture chamber will properly entertain you! "

"Spare me, esteemed ?" The servants shouted in fear.

"Empress, this servant knows who it is?" Who stole your hairpin? " Mei Er said again.

"Speak!" Luo Chen never thought that someone would actually take the bait.

"Empress, it was Lan Er, Lan Er stole it, this servant saw it."

"Empress, have mercy, I really don't have any!" Lan Er anxiously shouted.

"So it's you, Lan Er. Do you know your crime? Mei Er, is what you said true? " Luo Chen said fiercely.

"Yes, it's true." Mei Er quickly replied. It wasn't actually Lan Er, but so what? Who told Lan Er to show her face in front of her master everyday and fight with him for the position of Changle Palace's First Palace Maiden.

"Empress, this servant pleads guilty, but it really isn't this servant." Lan Er shed painful tears, it really wasn't her!

"Alright, since someone has pleaded guilty, you all can leave now! Lan Er came with me. "

In the Changle Palace, Luo Chen sat at the seat of honor while Lan Er knelt.

"Lan Er, what do you have to say for yourself?" Luo Chen knocked on the table as she looked at Lan Er.

"This servant only wishes to say one more word to the Empress."

"Speak!"

Lan Er wiped away her tears, "Empress, this servant did not take the Chai Zi, but accepted it. But for Empress to be careful of Mei Er, she is not simple. "

"Oh? Not only did you do it, but you also admitted it? And how can Mei Er not be simple? " Luo Chen stared intently at Lan Er.

"This servant probably won't be able to live much longer, so I'll just say it all!" Because the Empress was the master, the master's words had to be obeyed. This was the first sentence a teacher mama taught her. And, this servant, Mei Er, had personally witnessed her going to the Fenghua Hall. " Lan Er finished all of her words in one breath.

"Is it right or wrong to listen to Master? You suspect why Mei Er did not tell this palace? " Luo Chen asked immediately.

Lan Er smiled and said to Luo Chen, "Yes, regardless of right or wrong, you are very good to us. This servant will not tell you because this servant sees that you do not care about the imperial concubine Yao, or perhaps you do not care about the Emperor.

Yes, even a servant can see through me, I just want to be safe.

"Stand up. I know it isn't you. Don't bring up the words you said today." Luo Chen reached out to support Lan Er.

"En..." Ah ? "Thank you, Niang Niang." Lan Er shed tears of gratitude.

"Lan Er, if I ask you to be loyal to me, would you be willing?" Luo Chen held Lan Er's hand and asked.

"Empress, this servant is willing. This servant is your servant girl." Lan Er quickly knelt down and looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen grasped Lan Er's chin, "Do you truly understand my meaning? is to be loyal to me. "

Lan Er looked at Luo Chen's resolute expression and knew that she was the most beautiful woman in the palace. She would also be the most respected woman in the palace.

In the few years that followed, Lan Er knew that her decision was correct.

"Imperial Concubine Su, Lan Er vows to die." Lan Er kowtowed in gratitude.

"Alright, I'll reward you."

"Grandma, you and Lan Er must go and thoroughly investigate all the people in the Changle Palace who are disloyal to you. Mei Er, don't move. With a good helper, Luo Chen was naturally happy, and even the hatred she had towards Qin Muyun lessened.

Mei Er was happily preparing to enter the palace to see how Luo Chen was going to punish Lan Er, but who knew that Lan Er would actually walk out calmly? She was afraid, did the imperial concubine Shu believe what Lan Er had said, and think that she had slandered Lan Er?

When Mei Er thought about it, she felt uncomfortable, so she quickly entered the hall to inquire about the situation.

"Mei Er is here, why don't you help me take a look? I am going to see the Emperor in the afternoon. " When Luo Chen saw Mei Er, he immediately called Mei Er over. Mei Er was shocked, thinking that Luo Chen had discovered something.

But afterwards, everything seemed normal. It was the way Imperial Concubine Su looked at him, the way she felt like she was looking at her prey.
