The second lady didn't know at the slightest at the moment what had happened when she was unconscious.

And Linghu Hongxi, who has always been gentle and elegant in her eyes, is like a cold-faced judge at this moment, giving her up completely.

"You're still saying it's not a full moon! It seems that you have no remorse! Well, you continue to stay in your Xiu Ya Yuan to reflect, until you realize your mistake and obtain the full moon's forgiveness, this Xiu Ya Yuan I will not take another step. ”

After finishing speaking, Ling Hu Hongxi turned around coldly.

"Sir! Don't go, sir! ”

Seeing that Ling Hu Hongxi turned around to leave, the second lady got up and was about to hold Ling Hu Hongxi's hand, but Ling Hu Hongxi strode out of the room.

"Sir!! Don't go, sir! Master!! ”

The second lady's mournful shout echoed in Xiuyayuan for a long time.

Even if she has Li Jingtian as a backer, she just continues to maintain the embarrassing identity of this second room, and her ultimate goal is to become Linghu Hongxi's main house! But now this hope is about to fail, and this blow to the second lady is fatal.

In the Hou Mansion, losing the favor of Linghu Hongxi, you can imagine how difficult the second lady's life is.

For the next few days, the second lady was bedridden.

The old lady stayed in Fenglan Garden, and she didn't even go out of the door, so Hu Pingxue stayed by the old lady's side day and night, playing the role of a filial granddaughter, in fact, she was more afraid than anyone else that if the old lady had a case, her life would be even more sad.

Father and aunt only believe that Linghu is full moon now, and her mother has fallen out of favor again, and she will enter the palace in three days, without her mother by her side, she is really afraid that she will not be able to cope with it.

Maple Orchid Court

The old lady drank the decoction brought by Linghu Pingxue, but her face did not ease much, but after two days, her cheeks were obviously thin.

"Pingxue." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for Linghu Pingxue to sit beside her.

After Linghu Pingxue sat down, before she could speak, she began to cry uncontrollably.

"Grandmother, mother, she—and father—" The latter words made Hu Pingxue not speak, and the old lady knew what she was going to say.

The old lady patted the back of her hand and comforted her,

"Your grandmother knows all the grievances, needless to say." The old lady's eyes flashed with a cold murderous aura.

This qiē is all caused by the full moon of the fox!

Unconsciously, the power and ability of this Linghu Full Moon have reached the point where even the old lady can't shake it lightly, and if it continues, the sky of this Hou Mansion will be completely turned upside down.

"Grandmother, my mother is injured and can't accompany Pingxue into the palace, that will collide with the queen mother and the emperor, Pingxue is alone - there is really no bottom-"

"Don't worry, tomorrow night's palace banquet, grandmother will climb into the palace to accompany you! Absolutely no one will let you enter the palace alone! When the old lady said this, she patted the back of Ling Hu Pingxue's hand heavily, and Ling Hu Pingxue wiped her tears while looking at the old lady gratefully,

"Thank you Grandmother. With her grandmother here, Pingxue is not afraid of anything. Linghu Pingxue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she had been hesitant to open her mouth when she saw her grandmother sick like this, but now that her grandmother took the initiative to speak, Linghu Pingxue put her mind at ease, and waited for tomorrow night to enter the palace to make a splash.

"Grandmother, although you will accompany Ping Xue tomorrow night, but---But Linghu Manyue has too many tricks, I don't know what new tricks she will come up with to deal with us, Ping Xue is still uneasy in her heart, the only way to stop her from making trouble tomorrow night is to make her unable to enter the palace, she is now a six-rank female official, and it is easier to enter the palace than us, the only way to stop her from making trouble tomorrow night is to find a way to drag her for a day and a night."

Linghu Pingxue asked the old lady tentatively, in fact, she already had an idea in her heart, but it still depended on the old lady's decision.

As soon as she heard the name of the full moon, the old lady's face couldn't help but turn a little blue.

"Don't worry, you will never see her at the palace banquet tomorrow night."

When the old lady said this, she made up her mind to do something to the full moon before the palace banquet, which is what Ling Hu Pingxue wanted to see.

Linghu Pingxue snuggled up to the old lady with a soft and boneless face, nodding frequently.

"Now my mother is sick, thanks to my grandmother." Linghu Pingxue knows how to play the role of a filial and sensible granddaughter in front of the old lady, anyway, it is impossible for the old lady to like Linghu Full Moon, as long as she says more about Linghu Full Moon in front of the old lady, there is no problem.

Pujia Pavilion, into the night

As soon as the full moon fell asleep, Ximeng came in and woke her up.

"Miss, ten-one hundred thousand urgent." Ximeng nervously spoke.

If it weren't for the 100,000 urgent things, Ximeng wouldn't disturb the full moon now.

"What's wrong?" The full moon got up and sat up, and Ximeng had already lit a lamp.

"Miss, tonight is Tie Ying's vigil, Tie Ying caught the steward of the West Courtyard, Mother Wang, and said that she found that Mother Wang was sneaking outside the Miss Yard in the middle of the night and didn't know what she put in."

"Mother Wang?" Full Moon frowned slightly.

This Mother Wang said that she was the steward of the entire West Courtyard of the Hou Mansion, but in fact, she was the old lady's person at all.

Because Linghu Pingxue was going to enter the palace to play chess tomorrow night, the full moon guessed that the old lady would take some extraordinary measures tonight in order to prevent her from entering the palace, so the full moon asked Tie Ying to be on duty tonight.

The entire Pujia Pavilion is about Tie Ying's martial arts, if the old lady takes extraordinary measures, only Tie Ying can deal with it in this case.

"You let Tie Ying bring people here, and the whole courtyard doesn't have to be lit up, and no movement is allowed."

The full moon whispered to cherish dreams.

Regretting the dream, he immediately exited the room.

After a moment's effort, Tie Ying, who was dressed in black, escorted Wang's mother, who was tied up and gagged, into the full moon room. There was only one palace lamp lit in the room, and in the dim light, Mother Wang saw the full moon sitting leisurely on the Hunan concubine chair, looking at her with a smile in her eyes.

Mother Wang was startled at first, then shook her head and motioned for Full Moon to take away the strip of cloth from her mouth, and there was a flash of threat in her eyes when she looked at Full Moon.

Mother Wang has been in the Hou Mansion for 30 years, and she can be regarded as having seen a big scene, so she is naturally not a little girl like Baoyan, and she will recruit everything in a few words.

"Tie Ying, what did you find?" Full Moon didn't pay attention to Wang's mother, but looked at Tie Ying.

Tie Ying, a night walker, put the bag he was carrying on the ground, opened it and pointed to the contents to show the full moon,

"Miss, Mother Wang sneakily walked around the courtyard with these things, and I packed them up. The eldest lady looked at it. ”

The full moon looked at the things on the ground, saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal. The combination of these three things is commonly known as black powder, which can burn or explode quickly after ignition. Moreover, there are some lead blocks in a box, and if these lead blocks are placed on top of the gunpowder, once ignited and exploded, the consequences are even more unimaginable.

Ximeng and Ning Jing are both quietly looking at the things on the ground, although they don't quite understand the structure and purpose of these three things, but it must not be a good thing for Mother Wang to take these things around the outside of the Pujia Pavilion in the middle of the night.

"Tie Ying, what about Mother Wang?"

Full Moon frowned lightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the little sister, there are two guards hidden in the shadows with Wang's mother, I solved those two guards in advance and then tied up Wang's mother and brought them in."

Tie Ying's words also confirmed the full moon's speculation.

If the old lady really wanted to use black powder against her, she would never assign a mother Wang to come forward. Wang's mother just led the way and used it to cover in case something happened, and there was someone else who really carried it out.

When Tie Ying came in before, Full Moon noticed that the wound on the back of her hand was broken open and bleeding blood, if it was just Mother Wang, Tie Ying would naturally be effortless to deal with.

"Miss, those two guards have been knocked unconscious by me and thrown into the dry well behind the courtyard of the second lady, waiting for the eldest lady to fall."

The dry well that Tie Ying said was the dry well that the second lady threw Ziyun.

Full Moon nodded, very satisfied with Tie Ying's appearance.

Now that we know the old lady's intentions, it's time to deal with Mother Wang.

"Mother Wang, you brought the materials for making black powder to my yard in the middle of the night, and also brought two hidden guards, you don't have the courage to deal with me, I think it's the old lady's meaning, it seems that the old lady really wants me to die, and even used black powder."

Full Moon's tone was unhurried, and Mother Wang's mouth was still gagged, and she didn't feel a little anxious.

"Mother Wang, I can let you speak, but you'd better be smart, don't shout, you've seen Tieying's ability, make sure you don't have time to speak, she has the ability to let you die."

The full moon was still smiling leisurely, and Mother Wang nodded unconsciously.

Full Moon's eyes motioned for Tie Ying to take away the strip of cloth from Wang's mother's mouth.

"Miss, you are a smart person, since you know that I am an old lady, you should let me go obediently, I came here The old lady knows, if I disappear, the old lady will be the first to suspect you, if I have three long and two short, the old lady will also avenge me!" Miss, you still have to think about which is more important! As long as you let me go, I will go back as if nothing happened, but if something happens to me, you won't have a good life! ”

Mother Wang relied on the fact that she was the old lady's cronies and the steward of the entire West Courtyard, and she had never put the full moon in her eyes, a motherless child, not to mention that Wang's mother often followed the old lady, and she was exposed to it, how the old lady sarcastically looked down on the full moon, and Wang's mother also had the same mentality as the old lady.

"Mother Wang, you are just a slave, how dare you speak to the eldest lady like this?" Ning Jing took a step forward and slapped Wang's mother without saying anything.

is disrespectful to her own young lady, how can Ning Jing spare her?

"You, you little maid who has been in the house for less than three years dare to beat me?" Mother Wang stiffened her neck and looked at Ning Jing with an angry face.

If it weren't for the fact that her hands were still tied behind her back, Mother Wang would have jumped up and fought with Ning Jing.

Full Moon looked at it with a smile, and glanced at Ning Jing again.

Bang Bang Bang!

Ning Jing simply rewarded Wang's mother with three slaps.
