Chapter 74 075: Promotion and salary increase

   With so many people present, Song Yunzhao didn’t really care much about it, except for the heroine. The law of the heroine is like a curse, but if she is not careful, she will easily be unlucky.

  So even though Song Yunzhao suspected Qin Xiyue this time, he didn't put on a posture to drag her into the water.

   Besides, she has no evidence.

   If there is no evidence to engage in the heroine, she must be unlucky. In view of her previous experience, she didn't really want to try the heroine's vajra mask, so she'd better wait until she was sure.

  However, Qin Xiyue's expression was too calm, which made Song Yunzhao feel that his suspicion should be somewhat real. Even if Qin Xiyue didn't fully participate in this matter, at least he extended his hand.

  Thinking of this, she withdrew her gaze and landed on Zhu Ruolan. She really didn't expect that the first newcomer to be bribed was Zhu Ruolan who seemed the least dangerous.

   Things have come to this point, Zhu Ruolan knows that it is useless for her not to admit it, Shu Fei will not save her in order to protect herself, and she still has family members, if she dares to talk about Shu Fei, she is afraid that it will hurt her family.

   Zhu Ruolan regretted it, but it was useless to regret.

  Zhu Ruolan framed Concubine Lu and slandered Song Yunzhao no matter which one was a serious crime, she didn't even have the chance to go to the cold palace, and was given death directly.

  Looking at Zhu Ruolan being dragged down like a puddle of mud, Song Yunzhao fell silent.

  The harem is a woman's battlefield, and Zhu Ruolan will end up losing it.

   She saw that the emperor's treatment of Concubine Shu had not yet been decided, and she knew that there was still a fire to go. If the dog emperor insisted on acting again, she would fulfill him.

   Song Yunzhao raised his eyes to look at Concubine Shu, it was a coincidence that Concubine Shu was also looking over, and the eyes of the two collided in the air.

   Concubine Shu's eyes were filled with complacency. The emperor's death of Zhu Ruolan was equivalent to saving her. Song Yunzhao really wasted all his efforts.

  Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Shu expressionlessly, rolled his eyes under her gaze, and fainted.

   "Master!"

  Song Yunzhao heard Xiangxue's exclamation, and before falling to the ground, someone hugged him tightly around his waist. Immediately afterwards, he heard the emperor say angrily, "Concubine Shu's Mu Tianen listens to flattery. She is loyal and traitorous. She is arrogant and domineering. She loses her womanly virtues. I depose her title as a warning to others."

   "Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu was shocked and angry, but the emperor had already strode away with Song Yunzhao in his arms, and was still listening to the voice of the emperor shouting to pass on the imperial physician.

  Everyone present, look at me, I look at you, no one thought that after the emperor bestowed Zhu Ruolan with death, he would punish Concubine Shu.

   I have to say, Concubine Song is really dizzy.

   Concubine Zhuang is a pity, Concubine Shu... oh, it's Concubine Lu now, but her title has been revoked. After all, the emperor still saved Concubine Lu's face for the sake of Prime Minister Lu.

  The three concubines all have their titles, and now that Concubine Shu has been revoked, she seems to be the bottom of the three.

  Concubine Zhuang walked over slowly, looked at Concubine Lu, and showed a very sincere smile, "Concubine Lu, you are so confused, how can you trust a young talent so easily. But don't be too sad, when Your Majesty calms down, your title may come back."

  Concubine Lu stared at Concubine Zhuang, knowing that she was deliberately mocking her, how could she swallow her anger in the past, but now... She didn't want to make a bad impression in front of His Majesty, so she just glanced at Concubine Zhuang, turned around and left with her sleeves shaken.

  Looking at the back of Concubine Shu leaving in embarrassment, Concubine Zhuang sighed quietly, then turned her head to look at the crowd, "It's getting late, I'm coming back too, you all should leave."

  Concubine Wan sneered when she saw Concubine Zhuang's pretentious posture, and she left without saying a word.

  Concubine Zhuang doesn't care, Concubine Wan has always been like this, but if this one doesn't see the situation clearly, maybe she will be the next one to be unlucky.

  After the third concubine left, the rest of the people let out a long sigh of relief.

  Feng Yunjin didn't want to get involved, so she was the first to leave quietly.

  Fan Qingru and Qin Xiyue were in the same direction, and the two left together, and the rest of them also dispersed in twos and threes.

   On the way back, Fan Qingru didn't intend to speak, and kept silent. To be honest, today's incident brought her a big impact. It was the first time she faced such a fierce scene, and she still felt a little soft-handed.

  Qin Xiyue didn't want to talk either, the two of them remained silent, saying goodbye and leaving at the intersection.

  Although Fan Qingru's status is one rank lower than Qin Xiyue's, she was born in a Korean government, a dignified noble family. As long as she can seize the opportunity, promotion is only a matter of time, so Qin Xiyue didn't take people seriously because of her high status, and the relationship between the two is not bad.

  Back to Huayang Palace, Qin Xiyue went straight into the inner hall, waved her hand to make people retreat, she began to recover what happened today, and now she thinks about it carefully, although Song Yunzhao seemed to be making a big fuss at that time, as if she was in a hurry, but every word she said and every thing she did pushed Zhu Ruolan and Concubine Lu to a dead end step by step.

   Brave but foolhardy?

  Only relying on one face?

  Qin Xiyue twitched the corners of her mouth, how could a person who only relied on one face embarrass Concubine Lu again and again, until today she suffered a crushing defeat and was even deprived of her title.

   It was because she despised Song Yunzhao too much, it was because she didn't really think of her as an opponent.

  Recalling the letter handed in from home, Qin Xiyue frowned again.

  The family asked her to find a way to quickly accept the favor. With such a disturbance today, the emperor may only be full of Song Yunzhao in his heart, and it may be extremely difficult to accept the favor these days.

   "Master."

  Qin Xiyue raised her eyes, "What's the matter?"

   "The palace servants around Concubine Lu are asking to see you."

  Qin Xiyue was silent, "Just say I fell asleep."

"yes."

  Qin Xiyue leaned on the soft pillow and closed her eyes. She can't see the people around Lu Zhixue now. She knows what Lu Zhixue sent people to do. For the time being, she can't do it yet, and... can't do it.

  ***

  In Wangyou Palace, the imperial physician diagnosed Song Yunzhao and decided that he was overly frightened and prescribed Anshen Decoction.

  Song Yunzhao originally pretended to be dizzy, but she was really dizzy after being carried all the way back by the emperor.

  She felt that she was drowsy in sleep, she should have woken up, but she couldn't open her eyes, her consciousness was light and floating, as if suspended in mid-air, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

   Countless fragments flashed in her mind, the past and present were mixed together, she wanted to break free, she wanted to live well, but she was imprisoned.

   "Yun Zhao..." Feng Yi suddenly felt the person on the bed struggling violently, wondering if it was a dream. His eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and his once bright red lips were now a little bit blue. He was babbling without knowing what he was talking about, speaking extremely fast and in a low voice.

  Feng Yi looked like he was in a nightmare, he bent down and hugged her in his arms, and patted her on the back lightly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. I'm the Son of Dragon, and evil spirits can't hurt you."

  Song Yunzhao, who was pressed into Feng Yi's arms, slowly opened her eyes, her beating heart that seemed to be going out of control slowly calmed down, and the patches of black mist in front of her eyes gradually dissipated, making her mind gradually clear.

   "The emperor..."

   "Are you awake?" Feng Yi hurriedly lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

   It's all his fault, he thought Yun Zhao was just pretending, but he was really scared, and now he seems to be in a bad mood, maybe he was really scared by Concubine Shu today.

  Song Yunzhao raised his head to meet Feng Yi's face, and saw his eyes were full of concern. For a moment, she felt that he seemed to be really worried about her.

   "I'm just a little thirsty." Song Yunzhao's mouth was dry, and she dreamed indiscriminately for an unknown period of time, which made her very uncomfortable. The whole body was like a salted fish thrown ashore, desperately in need of water to nourish.

  Feng Yi supported her on the soft pillow, turned around and poured a glass of water from the small table beside the bed, then handed it to Yun Zhao's lips, "Drink it."

  Song Yunzhao:…

  You don’t have to.

  The emperor treated her like this, and she felt as if he was going to send her to the execution ground.

  She reached out to catch the teacup, Feng Yi pressed down her arm, "Drink quickly, aren't you thirsty?"

  Song Yunzhao was so weak now that he didn't bother to struggle, so he drank a cup of water with the emperor's hand.

   "Do you still drink?"

  Song Yunzhao nodded.

  Feng Yi poured her another cup, and when she finished drinking, he said, "You just woke up, so don't drink too much, lest you feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

  Song Yunzhao smiled, "I will listen to His Majesty."

  Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao's weak smile, and it was hard to understand for a while.

  She has always been a very energetic person.

   "Did what happened today scare you?" Feng Yi looked at her and said softly, "I was late."

Huh?

  Song Yunzhao looked at the emperor in genuine surprise, then shook his head, "What does this have to do with the emperor? Concubine Shu wanted to get rid of me and deliberately framed me, not today, but tomorrow. To be honest, I didn't expect the emperor to come. I had already thought about it. If Concubine Shu really wanted to beat me to death, I would run to Taiji Palace like a fool. The emperor will definitely save me."

   Thinking about that scene, Feng Yi felt that it was really possible that she could do something. After a pause, he said, "That's the right way to think about it. You were framed. If I don't arrive in time, I can't wait to die. Just run."

  Song Yunzhao:…

   Another day of being stunned by the emperor.

   "The concubine was just joking. There are so many people around Concubine Shu, can I escape?" Although Song Yunzhao said cheerfully, these words reminded the emperor of the fact that she and Concubine Shu are too far apart.

   "It makes sense." Feng Yi nodded solemnly, "Today, my concubine suffered such a great grievance and fright, so I have to make it up to you."

  Song Yunzhao raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and said with a smile, "What does the emperor want to reward the concubine? Give the concubine a box of gold beans or silver?"

  Feng Yi watched Yun Zhao say this in a relaxed tone, and couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "I don't know who is crying poor with me, but now I'm talking about it."

   "Then what does the emperor want to reward concubines?" Although Song Yunzhao asked easily, his heart slightly lifted. In the book, the emperor is very stingy about his position and cannot be promoted easily.

   Just like the three concubines who entered the palace for five years, they were first conferred as concubine, and now they are still concubine. Of course, it has something to do with the fact that there is only one noble concubine above the concubine except the queen's throne.

  However, the promotion of the heroine Qin Xiyue in the book is also very slow. He not only wants Qin Xiyue to be a garbage sweeper, but also fears Qin Taifu. Therefore, although Qin Xiyue shoulders important responsibilities, her promotion to the position is indeed very slow.

  Of course, it is also possible that the author thinks that if the heroine rises too fast, how can she show that it is difficult to upgrade and fight monsters in the harem.

  So, at this moment, Song Yunzhao excluded her promotion and salary increase, and there was nothing he could do about meeting a stingy emperor.

  This is fate.

  Since she can't get a promotion and a salary increase, what kind of reward is she actually not looking forward to, it doesn't mean much.

   "You will know tomorrow." Feng Yi laughed.

  Song Yunzhao:…

   Also let her play the game of mystery, okay, the emperor is very good at playing.

  So, she cooperated and performed a look of anticipation, and then started to push people away.

  Meng Jiuchang turned his head outside just now, Song Yunzhao had already seen Yinger, Feng Yi really had to go, so he looked at Song Yunzhao and told, "Take a good rest, let's talk about it after a few days, don't jump around if you have nothing to do."

  Song Yunzhao said with a dull face, "Your Majesty, hurry up and get busy."

   A good emperor, but he has a mouth.

  Feng Yi smiled and left.

  Song Yunzhao was really tired talking to the emperor with God in mind. As soon as the emperor left, he relaxed and leaned on the soft pillow to think carefully.

  Xiangxue and Shi Zhu walked in quickly, "Master, would you like something to eat?"

  Song Yunzhao shook his head, he had no appetite.

   "After I fainted, what happened?" Song Yunzhao vaguely remembered that the emperor seemed to have punished Concubine Shu, but at that time her mind was buzzing and she couldn't hear clearly.

   Shi Zhu said with a look of surprise: "Master, Concubine Shu was deprived of her title by the emperor, and now she is Concubine Lu."

  Song Yunzhao looked up at the two, "Really? This is good news."

   Tsk, it seems that the emperor is not very capable of showing his hands and feet in the court. It is just a deprivation of the title, not a downgrade, which is a pity.

  She knew how much the emperor hated these people, so she could only deprive her of the title, which meant that she had to continue to work hard.

   After a big fight, only one title was killed, Song Yunzhao was a little helpless, it seemed that the firepower was still insufficient.

  Seeing that the master was not very happy, Xiangxue and Shi Zhu looked at each other, and the two of them were not too happy at the moment.

  Xiangxue thought about it and said: "Master, just now when the emperor left, he left a message that you have been wronged, you can call your family members into the palace to visit."

   "Really?" Song Yunzhao was very pleasantly surprised. It is not easy for her to see her family once a month in her current position, but she can do it if she thinks of a way, but it is still a surprise that the emperor took the initiative to let her meet.

   "It's true." Shi Zhu nodded hurriedly.

  Song Yunzhao heaved a sigh of relief, and finally got a little reward, "Let Anshun go to Song's house and let the eldest aunt enter the palace." After speaking, he looked at Xiangxue again, "Today you and Anshun protect the lord, and I will reward you a lot."

   "This is what a servant girl should do." Xiangxue hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

  Song Yunzhao looked at Shizhu, "Go and get two silver notes of one hundred taels, and give them one hundred taels each." After speaking, he looked at Xiangxue, "When you reach the age of release, I will choose a good marriage for you, and I will live up to your loyalty in protecting me."

  When others are loyal to her, she will reward her generously, so that she can win people's hearts.

  Xiangxue's eyes were red, "Master..."

  Shi Zhu has already taken the bank note, stuffed one hundred taels to Xiangxue, and said with a smile: "It's a good fortune for us to be slaves to meet a master like your concubine, please put it away quickly, and we will work hard in the future."

  Xiangxue nodded, didn't say anything more, as a palace maid, she just hoped that she could go out safely and marry a good family in the future.

  Shi Zhu went to Anshun with great fanfare with the other one hundred taels of silver, she just wanted everyone in Wangyou Palace to know about the generous reward from the master.

  Anshun got the silver ticket and came to kowtow on purpose. Song Yunzhao praised him a few words, and then told him: "Tomorrow only my eldest aunt will be allowed into the palace, and you will please my father for me."

   Anshun took notes one by one, and then stepped out of the palace.

  Song Yunzhao actually felt a little tired after talking for so long, and he even fainted after a while.

   She didn't eat much for dinner, so she went to bed early.

  Han Jinyi came to visit at night, and was very surprised when she found out that Song Yunzhao was asleep. It was not dark yet, but she went back without disturbing her when she knew she was asleep.

   Not long after Han Jinyi left, the emperor issued a decree, and concubine Lu was lifted from the grounds.

  Zhu Ruolan framed Lu Zhixue, if Song Yunzhao hadn't said it, how would the emperor know?

  But Lu Zhixue was grounded back then because of Song Yunzhao.

  She is also in Guan, and she is also in Fang, so people can't help but sigh, Song Guibi can really make a fuss, with her own strength, the harem is like boiling water, gurgling non-stop.

  In Yihua Palace, Lu Zhixue, who was lifted from the ground restraint, sat there expressionlessly.

  Yuxiu and Yinshuang served cautiously at the side, seeing that the master was lifted from the grounds and did not look happy, both of them felt a little worried.

   I don't know how long the silence lasted until Lu Zhixue said, "You all go down and rest."

   "Master..." Yinshuang said worriedly.

  Lu Zhixue shook her head, and Yinshuang had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

  After serving the master to sleep, the two quietly retreated, Yinshuang looked at Yuxiu, "What do you think the master thinks, let's forget about it? Don't you really need to go to Wangyou Palace to thank you?"

  Yuxiu looked at Yinshuang, "This incident also started because of Concubine Song. If it wasn't for her master, how could she be grounded?"

  Yin Shuang frowned, "You can't say that. If Zhu Cairen didn't play tricks, how could there be such an innocent disaster? Fortunately, Zhu Cairen has been dealt with by His Majesty, but this time the master can be released from the confinement. It was Song Guifei who mentioned it in front of His Majesty, so the master can come out in advance."

  Yuxiu was still a little unconvinced, so she listened to Yinshuang and said: "Did you forget that the master asked Feng Xiaoyuan to deliver a message to Wangyou Palace?"

  Yuxiu pursed her lips, "Master didn't say he was going."

   "So, as slaves, we have to do our best when we need to be reminded. Don't forget, we are all serving in Yihua Palace. Only when the master is good can we be good."

  Yuxiu raised her head and looked in the direction of Wangyou Palace ahead, and finally sighed: "How is that lucky one? She had such a big fight with Concubine Lu today, and the emperor still protects her. If it wasn't for Prime Minister Lu's face, Concubine Lu might not even be able to keep her position as a concubine."

   "Good luck?" Yinshuang looked at Yuxiu, "Do you really think it's good luck?"

   Yuxiu stopped talking.

  Yin Shuang said: "The person in Huayang Palace has a good relationship with our master, but what's the use? Did you know what Qin Guifei said yesterday? But if you can remember the past love, you should say a good word for our master in front of Your Majesty, but it's too late for them to get rid of it. Today, the master asked me to go to Huayang Palace, and I didn't even see anyone. Can Qin Guifei do this and our master will not be sad?"

  Lu Zhixue slowly closed her eyes listening to the words outside.

  ***

  The next morning, Song Yunzhao got up early and slept through the whole night. She felt that she could punch a cow now.

   After breakfast, she began to wait for the eldest lady to enter the palace. She had a lot of questions to ask.

   Unexpectedly, Meng Jiuchang delivered the decree before the eldest lady entered the palace.

   After receiving the order in a trance, listening to the cheers from Wangyou Palace, she finally came to her senses, she is Song Jieyu now!

   "Congratulations, Jieyu."

  Song Yunzhao's heart was pounding. Not only did that cheapskate of the emperor give her a promotion, but he even promoted her by two ranks.

   "Rewards, there are rewards!" Song Yunzhao was happy, so happy.

  Meng Jiuchang took a step forward, "Congratulations Jieyu."

   "It's hard work for Mr. Meng to make this trip." Song Yunzhao was in high spirits on happy occasions, and he felt much more pleasing to the eye when he saw Meng Jiuchang, but he was a little curious why it wasn't Zhang Maoquan who came here today.

  She didn't know that Zhang Maoquan was poking the villain at the Taiji Palace at the moment, and Meng Jiuchang took his job away, so shameless!

  Anshun stepped forward to stuff Meng Jiuchang's purse, Meng Jiuchang accepted it with a smile, and said to Song Yunzhao, "The emperor was busy with urgent matters last night, so he didn't have time to visit Jieyu. I'm afraid he will come for lunch today."

  Song Yunzhao felt that the purse was worth it, so he sent Meng Jiuchang away, and Wangyou Palace immediately became lively.

  Song Yunzhao is in a good mood. A promotion and salary increase is a great joy in life. As expected, yesterday's battle was not in vain. The emperor's compensation for her surprised her a bit.

   Tsk, you really can't follow the heroine's inspirational route, you have to work hard for most of your life to get what you want, look at her is different!

   Didn't realize that the emperor still had a sullen temper, so he actually ate her.

   "Master, Mrs. Song has arrived."

  Song Yunzhao was very happy, "Hurry up and welcome in."

  As soon as the eldest lady entered Wangyou Palace, she felt that the atmosphere in Wangyou Palace was very festive. She didn't know what happened, but she was happy when she saw it, so she followed suit.

   Entering the hall, looking at Yun Zhao, he stepped forward to salute, "My wife has seen your concubine."

   "Mistress, you need to change your address, our master is now Jieyu." Shi Zhu said beamingly.

  The eldest lady was overjoyed, "Really? This is a happy event. The minister's wife has met Jieyu."

  Song Yunzhao got up and helped the eldest lady up himself, and said with a smile: "Auntie, sit down quickly."

  The eldest lady is really happy. It hasn't been long, and their family Yun Zhao has been promoted two levels to become Jieyu.

  The eldest lady carefully scrutinized Yun Zhao's expression, seeing that her face was rosy and full of energy, she felt relieved, and said, "Jieyu suddenly asked me to enter the palace, is there something to order?"

  Song Yunzhao took a few glances at Xiangxue, and they hurriedly bowed and retreated.

  Song Yunzhao said in a low voice: "Auntie, I just found out that my uncle and father were impeached by me. I was worried about the situation at home, so I invited my aunt into the palace."

  When the lady heard about this, she looked at Song Yunzhao in surprise, "How did Jieyu know?"

  The family didn't send a message to the palace, just because they didn't want to worry her.

  Song Yunzhao said to his aunt: "Han Xiaoyi told me."

  The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the daughter of the Dali Temple Qing family.

  Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update

   The 6,000-word update is complete, have a nice weekend, thank you cuties for your support, okay?
