Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

Hu Rong's face was filled with anger as she stared at the melon-seed-faced palace maid and said coldly:

"Your superior is still speaking to me. When did it become a palace maid's turn to report out of order?"

"Guo Qianshu, these undisciplined people under your command must be properly disciplined."

Hu Rong's anger not only frightened the other officials of the Laundry Bureau into silence.

Even the melon-seed-faced palace maid turned pale with panic.

She never expected that her desperate attempt to report Su Lian would not only fail to achieve the desired effect but would also anger Shangyi Hu.

This frightened the melon-seed-faced palace maid so much that her legs couldn't help but tremble.

Guo Min glanced at the melon-seed-faced palace maid with a sneer, then replied to Hu Rong:

"Shangyi, rest assured, I will definitely discipline this palace maid properly."

Clearly, Guo Min had also been angered by the melon-seed-faced palace maid, and she would not let her off easily.

This made the melon-seed-faced palace maid tremble even more with fear.

She began to regret it.

She shouldn't have tried to take revenge on Su Lian.

Now she was in big trouble.

At this moment.

Hu Rong came to Su Lian and praised her with an approving expression:

"Being able to take the initiative to work overtime all night is indeed commendable for diligence."

"Knowing that the clothes of Jade Hibiscus Palace are urgently needed for the banquet and being concerned about what Consort Gui is concerned about shows rare loyalty."

"It is truly valuable to have such a diligent and tireless person in the Laundry Bureau as a role model. I will recommend such examples to the higher-ups in the future."

"Qianshu Guo has been able to cultivate such talent, which shows that she is good at discipline."

Su Lian was still confused.

What happened?

She wanted to ask.

But Guo Min pinched her secretly, signaling her to shut up.

And everyone else looked astonished.

The development of this situation… was simply incredible!

Shangyi Hu, who had always been strict, even intolerant of the slightest imperfection, would actually favor a palace maid who had made a mistake?

Even… actually said she would recommend her to the higher-ups?!

Shangyi Hu had always been cautious in her words and actions and would never make rash promises.

If she really did this, it would mean that Su Lian had a great future!

What exactly was Shangyi Hu playing at?

What virtues or abilities did Su Lian possess that made her worthy of Shangyi Hu's recommendation?

It simply didn't make sense!

The officials of the Laundry Bureau were all astute and quickly seemed to understand, and they all began to flatter Shangyi Hu, saying that her words were insightful.

The palace maids, on the other hand, were completely bewildered.

As for the melon-seed-faced palace maid, she was completely dumbfounded.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out how things had turned out this way?

Just when everyone was still confused.

Hu Rong had already given a brief speech to everyone and then left.

She came suddenly and left casually.

No one understood what she meant by suddenly coming to the Laundry Bureau.

As soon as Hu Rong left, the officials of the Laundry Bureau came to Su Lian and praised her again, then dispersed.

On the spot.

Only Guo Min remained with a cold expression, staring at a group of palace maids:

"Good, very good."

"Didn't any of you wake Su Lian up? Are you all treating my words as wind in your ears?"

"After washing the clothes today, you will all kneel against the wall in punishment for the entire night!"

The palace maids trembled all over, almost crying.

How could they bear to kneel for an entire night?

They originally wanted to see Su Lian make a fool of herself, but they didn't expect to suffer in the end.

Guo Min then glared at the melon-seed-faced palace maid with a sinister look:

"So, you lowly thing deliberately wanted to embarrass me in front of Shangyi Hu, didn't you?"

The melon-seed-faced palace maid couldn't hold on under Guo Min's murderous gaze.

She wanted to explain.

She wanted to tell her aunt that she wasn't targeting her but wanted Su Lian to be unlucky.

But her chattering teeth prevented her from saying a word.

Guo Min had already gritted her teeth and said:

"Go and get the dun lock yourself."

A simple sentence frightened the melon-seed-faced palace maid almost out of her wits.

The other palace maids were also frightened into silence.

In the palace, there were many punishments for palace maids.

The dun lock was one of them.

The so-called dun lock was to lock the palace maid in a small wooden box, without giving her food for several days, until she was almost starved to death before releasing her.

This punishment was very dangerous, and a slight carelessness could lead to the palace maid being starved to death before she could be rescued.

Even if she could come out of the dun lock alive, she would have lost half her life.

"Aunt! Spare me!"

"I was blinded by greed, I was wrong, please spare my life!"

"Su Lian, I will never target you again, please say a word for me to my aunt!"

The melon-seed-faced palace maid could no longer stand and fell to the ground, crying and shouting.

At this moment, she regretted it to the core.

Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in this world, and she was destined to bear the responsibility for her impulsiveness.

Guo Min just snorted coldly and waved her hand indifferently.

Two burly eunuchs walked over and dragged the melon-seed-faced palace maid away roughly.

Her cries and screams stretched out for a long time, making everyone who stopped feel a sense of misery.

All the palace maids were in fear.

Only Su Lian was still confused.

She didn't understand how the melon-seed-faced palace maid had offended her aunt?

To the point of receiving such a terrible punishment.

What did this have to do with her?

Guo Min had already pulled Su Lian away.

She took Su Lian all the way back to her residence and smiled after closing the door:

"Su Lian, Shangyi Hu always keeps her word. She praised you today and said she would recommend you, so you have a great future."

"This time, your aunt is also benefiting from your light. Even at the age when she is about to leave the palace, she can still gain some benefits."

"After your aunt is no longer in this palace, Shangyi Hu will be your backer and reliance, so you must respect her more in the future."

Guo Min was already in her thirties and couldn't stay in the palace for too long.

But Su Lian was naturally not concerned about this issue and was still confused.

"Aunt, I don't understand…"

She asked the doubts in her heart.

Su Lian didn't understand too much.

She regretted sleeping while slacking off, so that now she was like a fool, not knowing what happened while she was asleep.

Guo Min smiled slightly:

"It's normal that you don't understand."

"At Shangyi Hu's level, she often doesn't speak clearly when she needs someone to do something."

"She will reward you and give you opportunities. But you must be able to understand and understand her hints."

Ah?

Su Lian was even more confused.

According to her aunt's meaning, Shangyi Hu had something she wanted her to do?

But what virtues or abilities did she, a small laundry supervisor, have to do things for Shangyi Hu?

Guo Min saw that Su Lian still didn't understand and explained helplessly:

"Hey, with your brain, it's better to stay in the Laundry Bureau. If you are really recommended by Shangyi Hu, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a disaster."

"Let me explain it to you a little more clearly."

"Shangyi Hu's hometown is Qingzhou Prefecture, and many people in her family have also been infected with the epidemic."

"Now, do you understand?"

Su Lian finally understood now.

It turned out that Shangyi Hu was encountering the same situation as her aunt, her hometown was also suffering from the plague and urgently needed medical treatment and medicine.

Yes, this was the only thing that she, a small character, could be useful for.

Then Su Lian asked doubtfully:

"But aunt, Shangyi Hu is such a big official, isn't it difficult to ask someone to bring some medicine to her family?"

Although her aunt Guo Min was powerful in the Laundry Bureau, she was only a small official in general, and she had no power outside the Laundry Bureau.

But Shangyi Hu was different.

With just one word from her, countless people inside and outside the palace would want to curry favor with her.

Guo Min raised her hand and knocked Su Lian on the head unhappily:

"Say you're stupid, you really are stupid. Of course, this is not difficult for Shangyi Hu."

"But she still needs your help now, which means that her methods have failed."

"It's strange to say, but this time the plague in Qingzhou is very difficult to treat, and only the medicine sent by your relatives has miraculous effects and can cure the disease."

"Write to your relatives as soon as possible, seize this opportunity, and you can gain a firm foothold in the palace in the future."

In the end, Guo Min's tone became serious and earnest again, specifically emphasizing:

"This matter is only allowed to be done well, not allowed to be ruined!"

"If it is ruined, not only will you be unlucky, but even your aunt will be unlucky, understand?"

Su Lian could only nod and respond vaguely.
