Chapter 516: A Man-Made Conspiracy

readx;?“ Murderer!? Li Zhangshi seemed to be taken aback by Yunyang's words, and exclaimed exaggeratedly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info.d.

Although Zheng Zhangshi didn't speak, his eyes were instantly attracted to Yunyang, concerned and nervous.

Yunyang raised his eyes and swept them, already understanding the doubts of the two at this time. She didn't rush to say anything, just sat quietly in front of the bookcase, took out a lotus-colored nagauze handkerchief and wiped the ink-colored landscape glazed figure pen holder in front of her.

As soon as Li Zhangshi said a word about the murderer, there was no follow-up, which made her even more anxious, and her expression, as if she was about to send off a guest in a wordless manner, became more and more eager to know what Niangniang was going to say.

However, at this moment, she didn't dare to disturb Yunyang easily, so she had to turn back and take charge of things, hoping that she would give her an idea. Coincidentally, when she turned around, Zheng Zhangshi was also looking at her, with an inexplicable uneasiness.

Seeing that Zheng Zhangshi also had this expression, Li Zhangshi was a lot relieved, she thought to herself, instead of thinking about being cranky and unable to sleep after returning to the room, it is better to ask clearly, so she took a few steps forward and said, "Niangniang, what did you mean by what you just said?" Isn't this the work of ghosts and gods? ”

Yun Yang was not annoyed, raised his head and smiled a little mischievously: "Maybe before you told this story to this palace, this palace did suspect that it was a ghost or god, but after you explained it in such a detailed way, this palace can have a judgment - there are no ghosts and gods in this at all, everything is man-made!" ”

"How is this possible?" Li Zhangshi immediately disagreed: "Let's first say that the maid of the mandarin girl only left her clothes and disappeared from the big wooden barrel out of thin air, this can't be man-made anyway, who has the ability to take off the body and take it away in such a short time?" ”

Yun Yang took a deep look, put down the pen holder he was wiping in his hand and said, "Corpse? May I ask who is the maid of the mandarin maid drowned in the big wooden barrel? ”

"This ......" Li Zhangshi was speechless for a while: "It was Mandarin Niang herself." But why did she do it? It's not a big deal to kill a maid as a mandarin girl, but why did she make such a fool of herself? ”

Yun Yang let out a long sigh and said, "In this Hanyang Palace, the final root of all the disputes that occurred is nothing more than the word power. There is a battle above the court, and the harem naturally has a harem competition. You ask why Mandarin Niang did this, then please put yourself in her shoes and think about it, a person who was banished in the Huanxi Bureau, if she wants to make a comeback, who else can she rely on? ”

Li Zhangshi was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The person who can send her in is naturally the person who can take her out, who else can there be besides the first emperor?" ”

"Yes, everyone knows this truth, but the first emperor has a new Mei Ji who has entered the palace, and she doesn't care about Mandarin Niang at all, in this case, how can she meet the first emperor." Yunyang's voice was full of Sensen's chill.

"Let the slave maid have no chance to see the first emperor again." Li Zhangshi looked determined: "The first emperor has already demoted her here, and she just doesn't leave a way back, and she can't leave the Huanxi Bureau to ask to see the first emperor, so this matter is impossible to achieve." ”

"But what about the result? Not only did the mandarin lady not have to go out of the Huanxi Bureau to meet the first emperor, but the first emperor himself came to the Huanxi Bureau to be fortunate to her, what you thought was impossible still happened. Yunyang smiled faintly: "If Yuanniang wants to regain the favor of the first emperor, she must invite someone to speak well in front of the first emperor, so that the first emperor will be interested in her again." But how easy is it to do that? Who can speak in front of the first emperor, which one is an ordinary man? Which is not eye height over the top? Even if someone is really willing to help her, the huge amount of help money is astronomical for the mandarin girl who is in the Huanxi Bureau, how can she take it? ”

Years of experience in Hanyang Palace told her that the life of the palace people in the palace was extremely simple and boring, and what they most hoped for was to have this kind of exciting and terrifying news as a talking point. So in the end, she chose to go off the rails and decided to create an incident, the more bizarre and bizarre the better. ”

"So, the previous incident about the maid's death in the big wooden barrel was all a ploy used by the mandarin girl?" Li Zhangshi had an unbelievable expression on his face.

Yunyang was just about to speak, but Zheng Zhangshi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "If it is according to what Niangniang said, then how can you explain the red dance skirt, which is very important in this matter?" Has its color really changed? And it's turned red like never before. ”

"You mean this, a very careful and bold person." Yunyang lowered his eyelids slightly: "Hongu has learned to paint since childhood, and he knows a little about color dyes and the like. The pigments of the Central Plains are mostly made of mineral powder, which is rectangular and darker in color, but has high stability, and does not change much after dyeing. However, most of the pigments used in the Western Regions countries are prepared by the juice of flowers and plants plus some secret recipes, which are full of color, but have poor stability, and are easy to change color after passing through water. So when you talked to Bengong about the inexplicable change in the color of this Western Regions tribute skirt, Bengong remembered at that time that it might not be because of the possession of the unjust soul that I thought before, but because this skirt was like this. ”

"When you mentioned this phenomenon, your tone and expression were very nervous, as if it was a sure fact that the ghost was attached to this skirt. It is precisely because of your reaction this year that this palace can say with certainty that this whole thing is a hoax, there is no unjust soul at all, no possession, only a well-planned plan. ”

"The slave maid that Niangniang said still doesn't understand." Zheng Zhangshi lowered his head, and said in a low voice but very stubbornly: "If Yuanniang wants to attract the attention of the first emperor, she shouldn't use this kind of trick at all, doesn't she know that the most taboo thing in Hanyang Palace is to blame ghosts and gods, even if the first emperor thinks of her, it is possible that because of the legend of ghosts and gods in the Huanxi Bureau, he will go elsewhere." ”

Yunyang nodded: "Your analysis is very correct. But Mandarin Niang has no choice, this is a dangerous move, she played badly, and her reputation was ruined, but she had nothing at the time, what could she do if she played badly, she just spent her life in the Huanxi game. But in case, it is a big thing to change her fate, she can use the word of mouth of thousands of people in the palace to make the best publicity for her situation, and when the time comes, she doesn't have to bother with her own words, countless palace people will talk about her with added fuel and vinegar, and it will be difficult for the emperor not to pay attention to her at that time. ”
