Chapter 226: Counting the Counts (2)

Gu Shaoyuan didn't rest in Huo Yunxuan's palace at night, but he told Huo Yunxuan to pay attention to it these days, saying that since Gu Shaoyi returned to Beijing this time, the palace may have begun to be unpeaceful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

For Gu Shaoyuan's instructions, Huo Yunxuan also responded one by one, and stayed until the next morning, Huo Yunxuan woke up early.

Because Gu Mingyu was resting in his palace the night before, Huo Yunxuan called someone to dress and wash Gu Mingyu early in the morning, and ordered Bai Su to go to the imperial dining room to bring Gu Mingyu yam porridge, and then asked, "Where is Zhishu?" ā€

Shisu smiled and said, "Zhishu said early in the morning that he went to buy." ā€

Huo Yunxuan's eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, nodded, didn't speak, lowered her head and rinsed her mouth with a mouthwash, then raised her head, and said lightly: "Zhishu will come back and call her over in a while." ā€

Shisu should be, Cha Baisu took a few palace maids to set up the meal, came in and asked, "Is Niangniang eating now?" ā€

Huo Yunxuan nodded, and when she asked Qiu to take Gu Mingyu to the dining room together, she seemed to have just remembered and asked, "Why don't you see Bai Zhi?" ā€

Qiu Shi hugged Gu Mingyu and gave Huo Yunxuan a salute, and said with a smile: "Bai Zhi went out early in the morning, saying that she was sending something to her fellow countrymen, and the slave and maid also forgot it." ā€

Huo Yunxuan nodded, as if chatting, and said with a smile: "Is it from our palace?" ā€

Qiu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's from the queen's palace." ā€

After that, he added: "It's just a third-class sprinkler palace maid." ā€

The Qiu family has been in the palace of the Queen Mother of the West for a long time, and he understands some of the grievances of the ladies of the palace, and when Huo Yunxuan did not enter the palace as a concubine, he often went in and out of Ningshou Palace, and at that time, the grievances between Huo Yunxuan and Xue Ruran had reached their peak.

As everyone knows, Huo Yunxuan has long been suspicious of Bai Zhi, and at this time, she is just planning and preparing to catch turtles in the urn.

Therefore, after hearing what Qiu's said, Huo Yunxuan just nodded, and did not express her position, she lowered her head to eat, and watched Zhiyu coax Gu Mingyu to drink the bowl of porridge, before nodding with satisfaction, smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Gu Mingyu in her arms for a while, and then handed him to Qiu's to hold, and ordered: "You first take her to the mother's harem to ask for peace, and when you come back from the palace to Kunning Palace, you will go over to pick him up." ā€

Qiu's nodded, although Huo Yunxuan didn't say which queen mother it was, Qiu's heart was also clear, and he heard Huo Yunxuan call "Queen Mother", and he knew which palace the queen mother was, so he nodded busily, but Bai Zhi came in at this time

"Niangniang," Bai Zhi hurriedly gave Huo Yunxuan a blessing before she smiled and said: "The queen mother went to the palace of the Eastern Empress Dowager to ask for peace, saying that she wanted Niangniang and others to go to the Yongshou Palace to ask for peace." ā€

Huo Yunxuan narrowed her eyes, nodded quietly, and said, "But go and talk to Sun and Shen?" ā€

Bai Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "The two talents have been notified." ā€

Huo Yunxuan raised her eyebrows, a hint of meaning quickly flashed in her eyes, and her face was impassive: "Zisu, go and talk to the two talented people, and the palace will go with them." ā€

Zi Su should be, and immediately turned around, but Bai Zhi hurriedly stopped: "Sister! ā€

Huo Yunxuan raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, but glanced at Bai Zhi coldly.

Bai Zhi was startled by Huo Yunxuan's eyes, and hinted in her heart that everything she did was extremely secret, and Huo Yunxuan trusted herself extremely and would not doubt it. Only then did he strengthen his mind and explained: "When I first came, the slave maid happened to meet two talented people, and they had already gone to Yongshou Palace. ā€

"Really?" Huo Yunxuan hooked the corners of her mouth and looked at Bai Zhi meaningfully.

Bai Zhi was a little flustered by Huo Yunxuan, and forced herself not to panic, nodding stiffly. Somehow, Bai Zhi always felt that something was wrong with Huo Yunxuan today. Unnaturally smiled at Huo Yunxuan, nodded and said, "Yes." ā€

"On weekdays, the two of them are waiting for the main palace, why don't they wait today? It can't be that Hongu did something to provoke them, right? ā€

Huo Yunxuan hooked the corners of her mouth, obviously saying words of introspection, but no matter how she sounded, it sounded like sarcasm.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, looking at Huo Yunxuan and suddenly a little speechless.

Huo Yunxuan glanced at Bai Zhi lightly, sneered in her heart, but her face was silent, she took Zisu's hand and got up and said: "In this way, let's go to Yongshou Palace quickly, everyone else in the province has gone, only we are left, but we are gossiping." ā€

Zi Su should be, but she was puzzled in her heart Huo Yunxuan knew that this was a trap, why did she watch the pit jump in?

Huo Yunxuan knew that Zi Su was strange in her heart, but it was inconvenient for her to be at that time.

Bai Zhi hurriedly helped Huo Yunxuan's other arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhishu is not here, the slave maid will accompany Sister Zhishu to accompany the mother to ask for peace?" ā€

Huo Yunxuan hooked the corners of her mouth, looked at Bai Zhi with deep meaning, and said, "Since you are already a first-class steward beside Your Royal Highness, what are you doing by my side?" ā€

In the past few days, Huo Yunxuan has almost "obeyed" herself, Bai Zhi really didn't expect Huo Yunxuan to suddenly reject her, she was slightly stunned, and immediately found the exit, pretending to be calm, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Your Royal Highness go over with Niangniang to say goodbye?" ā€

Huo Yunxuan glanced at Bai Zhi lightly, thinking that yesterday she united with the Imperial Doctor to almost kill Gu Mingyu, she couldn't wait to tear up her hypocritical face, and now seeing that she still has the face to mention Gu Mingyu, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up, and said lightly: "I just had an illness yesterday, and the palace looks at him and is still a little weak, and there are more people on the Queen Mother's side, I'm afraid that I will be bumped." ā€

After that, he turned his head to look at Qiu Shi and Zhiyu, and ordered: "In a while, you will take the little palace to the palace of the Queen Mother, and the palace will go over to pick him up after inviting him from the Yongshou Palace." ā€

As he spoke, he quietly gave Zhiyu a look. Zhiyu has been by Huo Yunxuan's side since she was a child, and she immediately understood the meaning in Huo Yunxuan's eyes. Bending his knees with the Qiu family, Huo Yunxuan hugged Gu Mingyu and explained softly, and then handed Gu Mingyu to the Qiu family, waving his hand and signaling them to go first.

Only then did he glance at Bai Zhi lightly, and said lightly: "You go to the Empress Dowager Dong with the palace with the perilla and the incense." ā€

Bai Zhi frowned and persuaded: "It is very rare for the Empress Dowager to see Her Royal Highness, so why don't you go with Her Royal Highness." ā€

Huo Yunxuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, glanced at Bai Zhi lightly, and said: "No need, every morning this palace sends His Royal Highness to the Empress Dowager Xi to ask for peace, if you don't go over today, it will make the Empress Dowager Xi worry." ā€

Bai Zhi wanted to persuade again, but Huo Yunxuan ignored her at all, and waved her hand to the two Zhiyu Qiu clans: "You guys go ahead." ā€

The two of them obeyed Huo Yunxuan's arrangement, and seeing that Huo Yunxuan's eyes were firm, they knew that Huo Yunxuan had no intention of sending Gu Mingyu to Yongshou Palace, so they didn't care about Bai Zhi's desire to say goodbye, and walked out of the door with Gu Mingyu in their arms.

Huo Yunxuan looked at Bai Zhi again and asked lightly, "What?" You seem to have some complaints about Hongu's approach? ā€

Bai Zhi lowered her head and hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't dare." ā€

Huo Yunxuan sneered in her heart, but her face was not obvious, but she eased up a lot, and her voice was faint: "Let's go." ā€

Bai Zhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded yes.

Huo Yunxuan didn't even look at Bai Zhi, took Zisu's hand and turned around and walked out. It's just that at the moment of turning around, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Mother?"

Zi Su helped Huo Yunxuan out of Zhaoyang Palace, gave Xiang Xiang a look, and motioned for Xiang Xiang to drag Bai Zhi behind, and the two walked slowly behind, so Zi Su had the opportunity to remind Huo Yunxuan softly: "Be careful of traps." ā€

Huo Yunxuan nodded, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she glanced at Bai Zhi with the corner of her eye, and saw that the incense was already dragging the person, so she said softly: "The queen, they are all in Cining Palace." ā€

Zi Su was puzzled, looked at Huo Yunxuan suspiciously, a trace of mockery flashed in Huo Yunxuan's eyes, and explained lightly: "The Empress Dowager has always loved the palace, if the palace did not go over to ask for peace this time, and then someone arbitrarily arranged a crime, saying that the palace was uncomfortable because the queen was pregnant with a child, this is deliberately giving the empress dowager a child, you say, will the empress dowager be cold?" ā€

"In this harem, what the palace can rely on is the queen mother and the emperor, the emperor is the husband of so many people, it is impossible for the palace to rely on only one person, and the palace can completely rely on the only queen mother. If the Empress Dowager is cold to the palace, you say that the palace is in this harem, isn't it difficult to move step by step? ā€

Zi Su nodded clearly, but asked puzzledly: "Then why did the queen mother deceive the mother to go to the Yongshou Palace?" If the queen deliberately didn't inform the mother, the mother didn't know, and went to Kunning Palace, it's not the same arrangement? Besides, Niangniang already knows the trap, why do you have to jump into it? ā€

"If the queen deliberately didn't inform me, I would have a reason, and then the palace knew that she simply pretended to be sick, the doctors in the hospital are all human spirits, even if you can't find out what the disease is, I will say that you have a headache and you will say that you have a weak kidney and a cold and need to be raised for a few days, the queen mother is already distressed about the palace, if you hear that the palace is sick, and then inquire about the palace last night did call the doctor, will it really be cold with the palace?"

Zi Su shook her head, Huo Yunxuan glanced at it, and saw that the incense was already pulling Bai Zhi to walk slower and slower, and it had fallen a long distance, Huo Yunxuan was a little relieved, and continued: "It is not a secret that the Empress Dowager has prejudices against the Empress Dowager in the harem, and the palace is very favored by the Empress Dowager Xi on weekdays, so why did she go to the Empress Dowager's palace to say goodbye after the Empress Dowager was pregnant?" ā€

"Yesterday, the Queen Mother of the West and the Queen Mother happily sent some supplements to make up for the queen, but the Queen Mother, who was the queen's aunt, did not move...... Shisu, you said, this palace went to Yongshou Palace this time, how will they arrange themselves? ā€

Zi Su looked at Huo Yunxuan, covered her mouth with one hand, and muttered: "Niang Niang is jealous that the queen mother is pregnant, and she is angry with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Xi who sent supplements. ā€

Huo Yunxuan sneered, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "These two elders have always loved this palace, but this son of this palace has done such a bastard thing, if it were you, would you be cold?" ā€

Zi Su nodded without even thinking about it, and said: "If the person who has always been in the heart of the slave and maid is estranged from the slave and maid because of a little thing that should have happened, the slave and the maid will definitely not pay attention to her anymore." ā€

"Isn't that," Huo Yunxuan hooked the corners of her mouth and sneered: "That's what they're for." ā€

Zi Su couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Niang Niang knows the consequences, why do you want to jump into that pit?" ā€

"Who said that Hongu jumped into the pit?" Huo Yunxuan hooked the corners of her mouth, and a fine light flashed in her eyes: "Didn't this palace ask the Qiu family and Zhiyu to take Brother Yu'er to Ningshou Palace together." ā€

If Huo Yunxuan really angered the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager because they were concerned about the queen, why did she take Gu Mingyu over to say goodbye as usual?

Zi Su slowly digested it in his heart for a long time, and then he figured it out, and said with a smile: "Niangniang really thinks more than the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids are stupid, and they will not be taught by the mother in the future." ā€

Huo Yunxuan shook her head with a smile, and without speaking, Zi Su asked again, "How did Niang Niang find out?" ā€

"It's just reverse thinking."

If they all went to Kunning Palace to ask the queen for peace, even if they were deceived into asking for peace for the Empress Dowager Dong, Xue Ruran couldn't say anything about herself, after all, filial piety comes first, and she went to ask her elders first and then went to her wife to say goodbye, which is indeed true, even if Xue Ruran wants to charge her more, she can't be deducted from her head.

But if everyone goes to Cining Palace, and they go to Yongshou Palace, it's not as simple as this.

If you say that you want to say goodbye to your elders, the Empress Dowager is older and more powerful than the Empress Dowager Dong, why don't you necessarily follow the crowd to ask the Empress Dowager to say goodbye first, and then go to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye? If you don't have an opinion on the Queen Mother, what is it?

"That's why Niangniang asked Zhiyu and Qiu to take the little hall to Ningshou Palace." Zi Su looked at Huo Yunxuan with bright eyes, only to feel that he had further seen Huo Yunxuan's methods.

Huo Yunxuan smiled mysteriously, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "To be precise, this palace is to let Zhiyu and Qiu's take Brother Yu to Cining Palace." ā€

Zi Su was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when Huo Yunxuan said just now that she asked Zhiyu and the Qiu family to take Gu Mingyu to ask for peace, her words were vague, and she only said that she was asking for peace for the Queen Mother, but she didn't say that it was for the Queen Mother. At first, Zisu only thought that they were going to the Yongshou Palace, and the natural knowledge was to take the little palace to the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, and there was no need to explain it. Now I think of Huo Yunxuan when she said this, she gave Zhiyu a look, and yesterday she said that she would deal with it with a plan, Zhiyu has been with Huo Yunxuan since she was a child, and she understands Huo Yunxuan's intentions.

Zi Su looked at Huo Yunxuan, a hint of envy and admiration flashed in her eyes - it seemed that Huo Yunxuan really noticed that Bai Zhi had a problem yesterday, and instantly thought of the countermeasures for everything.
