Zuo Yuan was worried that Duan Yunfei would act impulsively, so she repeatedly advised her before leaving. Duan Yunfei repeatedly agreed, but she was thinking about what to say in front of Emperor Yuwen.
“Okay, OK, I have my own sense of responsibility, you don’t have to worry. At this time, you should have coaxed Zuo Xiang at home.”
Zuo Xiang would not use Zuo Yuan. I’m afraid that as long as Mrs. Zuo stays by her side, Zuo Xiang’s mood will naturally ease. If Zuo Yuan goes, it will disturb the couple.
“I am more worried about you than my dad. I’m really leaving. Don’t be too impulsive. By the way, when I talk about this, I don’t know why you were punished for being confined.”
When I walked to the door, Zuo Yuan suddenly remembered this matter and asked casually.
Duan Yunfei’s thoughts had already flown to the imperial study room, and she didn’t listen to Zuo Yuan’s questions at all.
Zuo Yuan, who had not received a response for a long time, also knew that Duan Yunfei must not have the mood to answer for him now, so she did not mention it again. Anyway, it was too late to talk about this matter later.
After Zuo Yuan left, Duan Yunfei had not even returned to the bedroom to tidy up and prepared to go to the imperial study room.
But at the entrance of Hongluan Palace, Duan Yunfei was stopped by the palace maids in the queen’s harem.
“Princess Thirteen, your confinement period has not yet passed. You cannot leave the Hongluan Palace now.” The palace maid was just ordered to do it. It was just a matter of fact. A palace maid was really unconfidence to compete with the princess and said something timid.
“I know you are on the order of the Empress, and I am unwilling to make things difficult for you. However, I have a hundred thousand urgent things to do now. Even if the Empress comes in person, I must go out today.”
The palace maid was in a very difficult situation. Although she was the queen, she had always heard how good Duan Yunfei was to treat the palace maids. When the queen sent her to Hongluan Palace to watch Duan Yunfei, she was extremely reluctant, but she had no choice but to have a low status and could only obey her orders.
“But… the princess… the queen blames her, I can’t afford it. Please ask the Thirteenth Princess to go back.”
Duan Yunfei has also heard of the queen’s methods. If theft happens in the palace, the disposal in the palace is to put the thief into Xinzheku for labor and deprive the right to be released from the palace at the age of leaving the palace. In the previous dynasty, the punishment for theft was even more severe, but when Emperor Yuwen ascended the throne, he was amnesty for the world and relaxed the punishment.
Previously, there was a palace maid in the queen’s harem. Because her family was barely bare, her father was desperate to sell her four-year-old sister to a human trafficker. The palace maid had no choice but to secretly take a jade earring that was not commonly used in the queen’s dressing box.
She thought she would not be discovered by the queen and could escape. But who knew that the queen suddenly remembered that dayI couldn’t find the earrings no matter how hard I looked for them, so I guessed that someone must have been a waste of his hand, so I secretly took them out of the palace and sold them. This is a common thing in the palace, but in the Jiaofang Palace, it is a death sentence in the eyes of the queen.
After the queen interrogated, she finally found out who had stole her jade earrings. She didn’t listen to the palace maid’s explanation and dragged the person to death without listening to the palace maid’s explanation.
This incident caused a storm in the palace at that time, after all, the queen’s disposal was too heavy. But the queen said, “No rules, no square. If you indulge these slaves every time, will the rules in the palace be messed up?”
