Chapter 166: Searching the Palace

In the Jade Immortal Palace, it is really lively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Queen Mother came, Concubine Shu came, even the queen who was in labor came with a big belly, and Lian Jieyu also came to join in the fun.

Yun Changfeng at the door originally wanted to block them from entering, but because of the emperor's token, he could only stand aside and let them in. After they entered, he sent a guard and hurried to report to the emperor.

A group of more than 20 people walked into the Jade Immortal Palace. The palace maids and eunuchs in the Jade Immortal Palace, including the master and concubine, all knelt there to welcome their arrival.

I haven't seen the Queen Mother walking around in the harem for a long time, and since last year, the concubine said that she hid the little prince, and the Queen Mother has never been out of the Ciming Palace. In addition, the Guo family fell later, which made the queen mother, who was already in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, several years old, and her hair, which was originally half-white, was completely white in just half a year, and the majesty on her face was no longer what it used to be. Only in those old eyes, you can still see the ruthlessness and calculation of the past.

"What about the concubine, why don't you come out to meet you?" The queen asked sharply.

Biyue was gone, Tian'er was also sent away, and in this Jade Immortal Palace, she thought about it the most, so she lowered her head and explained: "When the concubine Niangniang got up this morning, she said that the rain was boring, so she took the book and found a place to read, but the maid didn't let us follow, so the slave didn't know where her mother was." But fortunately, the Jade Immortal Palace is not big, and the slave maid has already sent someone to find it, so presumably the mother will come soon. ”

The queen smiled and asked, "That's good." Concubine Xian, I haven't seen you for many days, I didn't expect you to be so haggard. What's the matter, is it because you are not happy in this Jade Immortal Palace? ”

Ji Feicui bowed her head and said: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the concubine is very good, and my sister takes good care of the concubine." It's just that my sister doesn't know where she is now, so she can't come to say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to forgive her sins. ”

"What, you're a sister, don't you know where your sister went?"

"My sister has always been casual in her palace, and the emperor loves her so much because she is such a casual person. There is already a little eunuch looking for it, and it is estimated that my sister will come soon. ”

The queen helped the Queen Mother to sit in the main hall, and she sat on the other side. She turned her head slightly and nodded to Zheng Jieyu on the side, Lian Jieyu understood, so she said: "I don't even know where my master went, how did you become a slave?" In case the master has a bad one, you will be responsible for destroying the nine clans. ”

Concubine Shu frowned, she was originally going back to the palace, but she still didn't feel at ease and came to the Jade Immortal Palace to see what the situation was. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, the guard at the door was still standing there, as if he didn't notice that the master inside was no longer there, so he left with peace of mind. It's just that I'm afraid of something, on the way back to my palace, I saw the queen mother and the queen's Luan from a distance, and saw that their posture was going to the Jade Immortal Palace, and in a hurry, I sent my personal palace maid Xiao Lian to the Jade Immortal Palace to report first.

"Zheng Jieyu's words are a bit serious, everyone knows that the concubine is very skilled, what else can happen in her palace? The concubine's temperament, this palace also knows a little, she likes to be quiet. Probably because he felt that the guard at the door was uncomfortable, he found a place to stay. ”

"Concubine Niangniang also said that the concubine is very skilled. If she came up with this palace, it would not be difficult, and now that she can't find anyone, is she not in this palace at all? Lian Jieyu was very sure that the little palace maid she saw just now must be Ji Moyu.

Concubine Shu sneered: "Look at what Lian Jieyu said, my feeling is that I feel that the Praetorian Guards of this palace are all decorations!" If the concubine can go out under the nose of General Leader Yun, then the palace will have to consult with the emperor and remove him from his position as the commander of the Yulin Army. ”

"The lady concubine doesn't have to delay the emperor one by one, it's a fact that the concubine isn't in this hall now."

Seeing that both sides were arguing, the queen diverted the topic and said: "Queen Mother, let's not investigate the crime of not coming to meet the concubine, let's do the right thing first!" ”

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes slightly and nodded. The queen ordered the drizzle around her and said, "Search it!" ”

Drizzle got the order, and said to the few little palace maids who came aside: "A few of you, hurry up and search, search carefully, don't let go of every corner and everything." ”

"Yes."

Ji Feiyu was shocked, searching the palace, then Mo Yu was exposed. She and Xiang Rong glanced at each other, and said urgently: "Queen Mother, I don't know what crime my sister has committed and wants to search the palace?" ”

The queen smiled evilly: "It is related to Zhang Jieyu's death, the queen mother and the palace are very concerned about this case, and give the deceased an explanation." Therefore, all people and things related to Zhang Jieyu must be reviewed. The palace heard that a few days ago, Zhang Jieyu gave a batch of gifts to the concubine, according to the regulations, the palace should check this batch of gifts, and only after finding that there are no problems, can they be returned. ”

When it comes to the batch of gifts given by Zhang Jieyu, the first thing that comes to mind is the box of black pearls. Niangniang said that there was something wrong with the black pearl, and if they searched it out, it would be troublesome. "Queen Niangniang, after all, this is the Jade Immortal Palace named by the emperor himself, before you search the palace, do you have to get the consent of the concubine Niangniang?"

"Presumptuous." Lian Jieyu shouted: "You are a little palace maid, and you actually deceived the king. Don't say it's you, it's the concubine Niangniang who is here now, the queen said that she wants to search the palace, and the concubine can't have any opinions, not to mention that the queen mother is here, how can you be presumptuous. Come on, slap your mouth. ”

Concubine Shu just wanted to stop it, but she wanted to say first: "Lian Jieyu, you are the master, your order, the slave and maid dare not disobey." But the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are kind, and they have always been generous to the palace people, and they never beat and scolded. Every time the emperor chatted with the concubine, he also praised the queen for having the benevolent heart of Queen Xuanyi in the past. Besides, now that the queen is about to give birth, the slave and maid suffer a small crime, if the little prince is disturbed, then the slave and maid will be to blame even if they die. ”

These words imply three meanings, the first is that Lian Jieyu overstepped her authority, the queen mother and the queen have not yet spoken, why is she a Jieyu giving orders there. The second is to praise the queen's benevolence, if she really thinks about it today, then her benevolent image will be completely ruined. The third is that if you really think about it, something happened to the little prince, and it was her Lianjieyu's fault.

Lian Jieyu is not a stupid person, so she naturally heard the voice of this little palace maid. She looked at the two women in the first seat in a panic, and sure enough, she saw their cold faces, so she hurriedly bent over and said, "The concubine is guilty, please forgive the queen mother." ”

Ji Feicui looked at Xiangrong like a ghost, didn't she have the impression that this girl was very easy to bully? How did you say this, every word is bloody. The queen secretly appreciated in her heart, the palace maid trained by Ji Moyu was really comparable to ordinary people. Look at what she said, the drizzle may not even think of it.

"What a clever girl. This palace will forgive your sins for the time being. Oh, this Jade Immortal Palace is so big, it's all a cup of tea that has passed, and your master still hasn't found it. If we can't find it, are you going to keep us sitting here? ”

"Slaves don't dare"

Concubine Shu interjected: "Since you have been waiting, you don't care about waiting for a while!" ”

The queen smiled and said, "Concubine Shu is still busy praying for the gods, why don't you go back first?" ”

"Today's business is over, and the concubine has nothing else to do. Besides, the murder of Jieyu in this chapter is also a matter in the harem, and the concubines should stay for reason. ”

"Alright." The Queen Mother, who had not spoken, said: "The mourning family doesn't have the heart to spend here, search the palace." ”

When she gave an order, who would dare to stop her. This person's words were much more useful than all of them fighting for the ground, so more than a dozen people, including palace maids and eunuchs, began to search everywhere, not letting go of every corner, everywhere. When I arrived in the warehouse, I opened them one by one, and searched them the same.

The beautiful name is to review Zhang Jieyu's gift, but it is to search the palace. I'm afraid that in addition to searching for things, I also have to search for people! If in the end, Moyu can't be found in the Jade Immortal Palace, then Moyu's guilt will be even greater.

Moyu's treasury is not large, and there are not many things. Her dowry was already small, and after entering the palace, the emperor did not reward much, plus gifts, rewards to the palace people, and Ji Zhongting did a lot of travel expenses, so there were even fewer things. But although there are not many things, they are exquisite. For example, this purple jade statue, what everyone sees on weekdays is generally white jade or jasper, this purple jade is really rare. And this night pearl, in the dark, can actually produce a white light. There is also this cold and warm jade pendant, which has the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer.

A group of people carried up the gifts that Zhang Jieyu sent to the Jade Immortal Palace last time, and placed them in three boxes, almost twenty pieces, one by one on the main hall. Drizzle handed the roster in his hand to the queen and said, "Niangniang, this is a list, and the things that Zhang Jieyu sent to the Jade Immortal Palace are all recorded on it." ”

The queen nodded, handed the roster in her hand to the queen mother, and said, "Queen Mother, please take a look." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "The mourning family has bad eyes, but the queen sees it." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." The queen opened the roster, turned to Zhang Jieyu's page, and swiped her fingers over the black characters on it one by one, and on the four words "White Beads in the East China Sea", her fingers were paused.

How can it be the white pearl of the East China Sea?

At this time, a little eunuch in the queen's palace came to report that he had found the concubine. Everyone followed the little eunuch in the direction of Moyu again, and in the deepest corner of the back garden, they saw the person who had been looking for a long time.

There are two large trees, no more than ten feet apart, with lush branches and lush greenery. Between the two trees, the two ends of two arm-thick sticks are tied to the sides of the tree in a rectangular shape, and between the two sticks, they are tightly tied together with strips of cloth to form a small bed hanging in the air.

Mo Yu was lying on this small bed at the moment, with a book with a blue cover under her head, sleeping quietly, with a slight smile on her quiet little face, I don't know what kind of good dreams she had. Her jet-black hair hung down in mid-air, fluttering gently with the spring breeze, and the light shirt on her body swayed in the wind, like a sleeping fairy.

Such an unearthly woman makes men covet and women jealous. The queen turned her head to the drizzle behind her and said, "Go, wake up the concubine." ”

I wanted to take a quick step to grab the drizzle and go first, ran to Moyu, and shouted: "Niangniang, wake up quickly, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are here, wake up." ”

Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a sleep, turned his head, and asked with confused eyes, "What's the matter, I just had a sweet dream!" ”

"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are here." Xiang Rong repeated it again.

Only then did Mo Yu see clearly that there was a row of people standing not far away. With a stirring body, he quickly got up, walked to the Queen Mother and the Queen, bent over and saluted: "The concubine didn't know that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were coming, and she couldn't go to meet her, and asked the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to forgive her sins." ”

As soon as she saw Moyu, the Queen Mother's anger did not come to a place, and she said coldly: "The concubine really knows how to enjoy, on such a rainy day, she can still dream here." ”

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the inner hall. Mo Yu followed behind him, and Ji Fei deliberately bumped into her. Mo Yu knew her worries and gave her a reassuring look.

Back in the main hall, the Queen Mother and the Queen were still sitting in the hall, and Mo Yu stood at the bottom of it, looking at the dazzling array of things in the hall, and sighed silently, it seemed that she had guessed correctly.

"Guifei, you have been there all this now, haven't you gone anywhere?" The queen asked.

Mo Yu said softly: "Look at what the queen said, now this Jade Immortal Palace, let alone a person, not even a fly can fly in." How could I get out? ”

"What nonsense?" Lian Jieyu said angrily: "Just near the Renming Palace, I obviously saw you. ”

Mo Yu smiled coldly and said, "The rain wet my eyes, it's not impossible for Lian Jieyu to see it wrong." ”

"How could I be mistaken, if it weren't for Concubine Shu......" She wanted to say more, but was stopped by a cough from the queen.

Mo Yu continued: "Lian Jieyu, in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress, you shouldn't shout, it violates your dignity. Also, in front of this palace, you should call yourself a concubine, not me. You said that you saw this palace just now, and then this palace asked you, can you see my true face? Who testifies? Since you saw this palace just now, why didn't you expose it on the spot, are you covering up? ”

"I didn't."

"That Lian Jieyu, you came here for no reason to frame this palace, and you committed the following crimes, you don't know how to be respectful, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Lian Jieyu didn't know that something was wrong, she was originally full of confidence to expose Ji Moyu's unauthorized exit from the Jade Immortal Palace, but how did she end up guilty of covering up?

Mo Yu sneered in her heart, this Lian Jieyu spent a few years in the backyard in vain, she didn't have any brains, and she didn't know that she was used as a gun by the queen. She thought that she ran to complain to the queen, saying that Ji Moyu left the Jade Immortal Palace without permission, and the queen would stand on the same line as her, but she didn't know that the queen was much smarter than her. She just sat there, got up, and then ignored nothing.

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Okay, don't make any noise." Isn't it to be reviewed? Then check it out! ”

The queen nodded, summoned an imperial doctor brought from the side, and said, "Imperial doctor, look, what's wrong with these things?" ”

"Yes, I obey."

Mo Yu hadn't seen this imperial doctor before, and she didn't know who he was? I saw him walk up to those things, look at them one by one, smell them here and look at them. The queen asked, "Concubine, are all the gifts from Zhang Jieyu here?" ”

"This concubine is not very clear. Generally, the gifts sent by the palaces, or the things rewarded by the queen mother and the emperor, the concubines are all sorted out by Biyue. The concubine just looked at the gift list, and after making sure that it was correct, she put them in the warehouse. What, is there something missing? ”

She didn't ask if there was anything wrong or something more, but what was missing. The queen's heart sank, and she raised her head to look at Moyu's puzzled eyes, she was thinking in her heart, could it be that Moyu already knew what was missing? "Before Zhang Jieyu gave gifts to the Jade Immortal Palace, she came to ask the palace what she wanted to give, and at that time the palace said that the concubine Niangniang's vision was extremely high, and ordinary things were not eye-catching. Zhang Jieyu said at the time that since this is the case, then give a box of Dongzhu. This East Pearl is actually a black pearl, produced in the East China Sea, with a translucent color, which can be beautified and nourished, and is a very precious treasure. Why is it written on this list that it is the white pearl of the East China Sea? ”

Mo Yu smiled and walked over to the pile of gifts, picked up one of the boxes, opened it and handed it to the queen, saying, "The queen is talking about this!" ”

Seeing that the queen intentionally or unintentionally covered her nose with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, Mo Yu picked up one of them and said: "This is the white pearl of the East China Sea that Zhang Jieyu gave to the concubine that day, the concubine is short-sighted, so she has never seen such a big and round pearl, so she is very impressed by him." As for what black pearls, the concubines really haven't seen them, I don't know if the queen has seen them? ”

The queen smiled awkwardly and said, "I've only heard about this palace, but I haven't really seen it." ”

The corners of Mo Yu's mouth were cold, and he handed the pearl in his hand to the imperial doctor, and said, "Imperial doctor, take a look, is there anything wrong with this pearl?" ”

The imperial doctor picked up the pearls one by one, looked at and smelled them, and finally even reversed the box, and found nothing wrong. So I had to report: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, these gifts, Weichen has seen them, and there is nothing wrong with them." ”

"Can you find out?" The queen asked uncertainly, and then felt that she didn't like what she said, so she added, "So as not to wronged the concubine." ”

"Yes, the ministers have checked it out, and there is no problem."

The queen had no choice but to say helplessly: "In this case, concubine, this palace is disturbing today." Mother, do you have anything else to say? ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Ji Moyu coldly and shouted, "Go back to the palace." (To be continued.) )
