Hailancha yawned, handed Wei Yingluo a book and asked: “Miss Yingluo, what are you looking for the duty list for the 10th day of the first month?”
Wei Yingluo took the book and replied: “It's useful.” With these words, she turned to the page for the tenth day of the first month. Details of the list: 10th day of the first month, guards on duty: Tongjia Yuqing, Suchuoluo Fukang, Hesheri Liguo, Fucha Fuheng, Soulun Hailancha, Niohuru Zhaofeng.
Hailancha said with a puzzled expression: “What is the use of this?”
Wei Yingluo replied gently: “Useful is useful.” She was about to turn to the next page but one hand was pressing on the name book, Fuheng pressed it and said to Hailancha: “Hailancha, I want to say something to Yingluo.”
Hailancha understands and kindly got up and said: “Fine, fine, fine, you guys talk, I'll go out first.”
Fuheng's hand on the book did not relax, Wei Yingluo raised her eyebrows and asked: “What does Young Master mean by this?” Fuheng closed the book and said: “No need to look, the Emperor and his guards were not the only men in the palace on the tenth day of the first month, on the tenth day of the first month, the Emperor gave a banquet at the Qianqing Palace to the royal families, all the Prince, Dukes, Noble Sons and Fourth rank clansmen, all were present.”
Wei Yingluo said thoughtfully: “The royal family...”
Fuheng looked worried and said: “Yingluo, if it is true what you say that Amman was killed, whoever killed her must not want this to get out, you continue to pursue this, it is too wide to sift through and if you are discovered, you will be in danger.”
Wei Yingluo looked up at Fuheng and said seriously: “Thank you for the reminder but if it is the Empress Niangniang who is in trouble, what will you do?”
Fuheng was stunned, unable to answer.
Wei Yingluo smiled and said: “From the bottom of my heart, you and Niangniang are very close, how can I and my sister be any different? I must find out the truth, you tell me to give up, unless I die.”
Fuheng was silent for a moment, put his heart into his own, she has a sister, he has a sister, he can't stop her, he can only help her. With his mind made up, Fuheng asked: “So, what are you going to do?”
Wei Yingluo already had a plan in place, she said with certainty: “Since the banquet was held at the Qianqing Palace, whoever left the banquet that night, must have left a trail. The eunuchs on duty at the Qianqing Palace and those close to the Emperor, all may remember, with patience, I can definitely catch the murderer!”
Fuheng thought for a moment and said: “The eunuchs of Qianqing Palace, I'll help you track them down, promise me, don't act rashly!”
Wei Yingluo was a little surprised, she said disapprovingly: “Young Master, why do you have to come into this mess?”
Fuheng threatened her forcefully: “If you won't agree, I'll tell my sister right away and have her send you out of the palace!”
Wei Yingluo's eyes softened, she smiled faintly at Fuheng and said: “Yes, I promise.”
Although there was an excuse to do an errand for the Empress Niangniang, as a court lady, she could not stay long with the guards, Wei Yingluo hurried back to the Changchun Palace to be informed by Mingyu that his Majesty had arrived.
Wei Yingluo did not know what was going on, many people in the Changchun Palace, the Emperor seemed to hate her, she went back to her room and did not bother.
In the bedchamber, the eunuch brought a small table, set out the dishes, the Empress said with care: “Your Majesty has had a long day, you should be hungry, eat something.” The Empress personally brought a small bowl of soup to Hongli.
Infected by the atmosphere, Hongli's tone was softer and he said: “The Empress, please join us.”
The Empress is surprised, reminding: “Your Majesty, the Empress and Consorts cannot share a meal with the Emperor, it's a rule left by our ancestors.”
The expected answer, Hongli was disappointed, he smiled and said: “The Empress is still the same as before, she keeps to the etiquette, she never oversteps it.”
The Empress said with a straight face: “As an example to the Six Palaces Mistresses, this humble woman dares not overstep her bounds.” A breeze blew the curtain, the Empress turned her head and ordered: “Erqing, close the windows, it is windy at night, don't let the Emperor get cold.”
Hongli looked at the Empress, no more words, bowed his head and drank his soup.
The next day, when he woke up in the morning, it was still the Empress herself who dressed Hongli. Hongli suddenly sighed: “Sometimes, Zhen would like to not go to court.”
The Empress frowned slightly and advised: “If you want to be a wise monarch, you must not slacken off, otherwise, it would be the sin of this humble woman.”
Hongli was slightly offended and said: “Zhen does not want to go to court, what does it matter to the Empress?”
The Empress stepped back, knelt down solemnly, bowed her head and said: “The Empress has the duty to advise, if the Emperor is negligent, this humble woman is naturally at fault.”
Hongli paused, with his jade belt and golden crown on one side and a sudden weariness came over him. After a few moments, he helped the Empress up himself and said helplessly: “Zhen has said many times, Zhen is tired of you doing this, Zhen's Empress is not jealous, she is generous and kind, Zhen cannot find a single fault in you and is proud to have such a virtuous the Empress.”
The Empress was a little uncomfortable to be complimented in such a straightforward manner, she bowed her head slightly and said: “This humble woman is not so good... On the contrary, in the last three years, this humble woman has had too many shortcomings.”
The court dress is put on, Hongli rose to the court, as he walked to the door, as if suddenly remembering something, he turned and admonishes: “Noble Lady Yu will be giving birth and Zhen will ask the Empress to take care of her.”
The Empress nodded her head and said: “Please don't worry, Your Majesty, this humble woman will do her best to take good care of Noble Lady Yu.”
Hongli looked at his wife's beautiful face, he couldn't tell if he was more happy or sad, he smiled and said: “Zhen trusts you, you will do well.”
Hailancha yawned, handed Wei Yingluo a book and asked: “Miss Yingluo, what are you looking for the duty list for the 10th day of the first month?”
